Samsung Galaxy S series

Go for the Samsung Galaxy S series. Very good phones.

I think you could get one the new in market tablets, "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2", below £200 in 7" screen. Just bought one in 10" screen.
[General Topics] 8thsiner:
Where are you getting this from, I can't find similar prices.
[General Topics] SimonTS:
For £200 - where from?
[General Topics] iAmBalvinder:
The cost would surely depends on the place you live in our planning to buy the gadgety from.

Many places locked and contracted gadgets decrease the price range and it turns out to be cheap.

At my place, everything in the market is unlocked and has no contracts. So finding a decent gadgety below 200 bucks is a hard thing to do.

If you are in USA I would suggest best buy.

Galaxy Tab 10.1

250$ not sure what's that in your currency but it's not a bad price for a awesome tablet

imho, Samsung Galaxy offers the best deal. maybe a Gnote?
[General Topics] toffzter:
Why don't you try Chinese gadgets? A lot of them are priced below £200 with a lot more features than the popular brands. A lot of them have great quality. Take a look at the 4.5-inch HD phone ZOPO ZP300 Field, the qHD phone ThL W1, or the 3D phone ZOPO ZP200.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
It is amazing how many people can't decipher the English language. The OP clearly asked for suggestions on a tablet, and the whole thread is full of phones.

OP, I would go for the Asus A100. It is a cheap, high performance tab with good specs.

So I've had my tab since May the 12th (I just looked) and the cable is coming apart by the tablet end. I am never hard on it so I'm rather annoyed.

I went to BestBuy and those idiots told me no way no how was I getting one from anyone but Samsung. (Sure... kids) They made me so annoyed I looked at the receipt date and looked up the policy in the store. I was going to return the tablet just to get a new cable. (Been over 30 days)

Went to Walmart and they sell the cable+usb charging brick for $49.97. No way!

Anyone else had a problem with the cable?

It still works... But for how long?

the cables are very cheap and any high current charger seems to work ok, at least the ones for phones that require some kind of short or resistor across the USB data lines.

I bought a couple of these on the 1st and received them today. Branded Samsung and look just like the one I got with my Tab.

I bought one that can both sync and charge (with switch) in the shop at my area : http://goo.gl/UQUdU and it cost me about $2, maybe you can try at dealextreme or other online shop based on hk (they're usually cheap).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] 7drlclk:
Yeah I have the same problem with you. This cable is real crap. It is still working and charging. But when it comes to connecting to pc it is just refuse to work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] sebi1392:
Your picture reminds me of my good old iPhone 3Gs-times. There the cable had this on both sides :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] scottx .:
Well I finally got around to buying another cable. Mine got to where it would charge really slow. Take 10 hours without using it to fully charge it.

I bought one from Tiger Direct. Been buying from them for 15+ years. Its made by iLuv. Works so good. Charges it in fast mode like its supposed to! Its built much better than the stock cable. I think its going to last.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] AndroAsc:
I absolutely need a tablet with pen functionality, and I'm stuck between the 3 choices above. Appreciate any advice from the community:

HTC Flyer Pros:

Very good aftermarket "hacking" support in term of custom ROM, upgrading OS, etc... I've seen what good this can do, my 2 year old Sprint Epic 4G (running ICS) absolutely defeats all the current generation phones with A9 dual core (but running Gingerbread) in benchmarks

HTC Flyer Cons:

Hardware is two generations out of date (CPU is from the A8 Cortex era)

Thinkpad Tablet Pros:

A9 Cortex era hardware... so only one generation out of date, but the Nvidia Tegra 2 was the worst of the A9 SoC.

Thinkpad Tablet Cons:

Not as vibrant an aftermarket support as the HTC Flyer. I've seen many frustrated posts here on this forum.

HTC Jetstream Pros:

A9 Cortex era hardware... so only one generation out of date, and specs wise better than Nvidia Tegra 2. Best hardware out of the 3

HTC Jetstream Cons:

I think the aftermarket support is dead. No ICS. Only one custom ROM exist.

I can't wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to launch and it's too pricey for me too. Which tablet would you choose if you were in my shoes?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] siggehandf:
The lenovo of course. The other two aren't as good imho. And the support for think pads is very strong. I've had mine in the repair shop two times and it has been hassle free and quick. With ics the tablet is pretty great and the pen only mode really makes it awesome for notes and the like.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] AndroAsc:
Is the performance much better in ICS than in Honeycomb?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] siggehandf:
Overall the system feels much more snappy and responsive. I've had two tablets with Honeycomb and found them both to be very unstable and filled with bugs (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet).

And if your serious about using the pen, you'll want the pen only mode the Lenovo has with ICS.

That said, I would strongly consider waiting for the new Samsung Note 10.1. While I am happy with my Lenovo tablet, it is just not a triple A product, that you usually expect from Lenovo.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AfflictedMortal:
So, I've been unable to find any threads on this so I don't know if this is a common problem or not. My phone is rooted but I'm not quite sure if I'm using a mod, if I am it's a clockwork mod or something, I honestly don't remember what I used to mod it cause it was months ago. Anyways, I'm having problems downloading certain applications from the Google Store. It downloads it then when it's about to install it gives me an Error saying, "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" and it only does this with certain apps, I'm able to download and install or update a lot of applications but it only does this to certain apps, I've tried turning my phone on and off, that does nothing, I would turn off my phone and take everything out but I'm not quite sure if that would work either.

I was wondering if there's a solution to this because I'm trying to download a new theme for my GO Launcher EX and it keeps telling me I cannot download it, it's done it to games that I've had before too, it's really weird.

[HTC Jetstream] kailashpchhabria:
If 7 inch screen not an issue, I would go for Flyer as after market support is best with it amongst options. However, the Jetstream is relatively new and its hardware absolutely rocks. If you looking at the option of notes, etc - note that good 3rd party notes applications available all work with Android 3.x and above only. So Flyer you would have to upgrade or whatever - but people seem to have issues with Honeycomb on the Flyer. My personal choice would still be Jetstream because of its hardware, screen size - yes it lacks a bit in after market support - but that seems to be changing as more and more people going in for it due to the price drop and as more users get added, more developers are taking an interest. I feel its just a matter of time before we get something in the form of ICS etc. I don't know much about the Thinkpad tablet - have seen it superficially - it seems to be a good alternate to the Jetstream - but as you said, it doesn't have as great hardware as the Jetstream and the after market support is so-so. So if you looking for a long term tablet which will have good life, its Jetstream. If however, you want something for now and don't mind 7 inch screen, its the Flyer as it has already gotten ICS and a large community.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
i wouldnt touch any of them.

the flyer is small and old.

the jetstream still has a bit of petential but you can't tell where its going.

the lenovo also might still get better, but i wouldnt count on it.

truth is, android just isnt good enough. the multitude of devices is killing the OS.

i would check samsung, i think they are about to release a 10 inch tablet with pen support.

also, google are rummerd to announce a 7 inch tablet in the upcoming days.

and most of all - microsoft surface. looks very promising, hopefully microsoft wouldlnt screw it up.
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
I got my Jetstream on ebay for $250 and I consider it a very good purchase; it's true that the development and user community for the JetStream is very small at the moment; but it is bound to increase with all the price cuts. The hardware on this tablet rocks; mine is rooted, using DoomLord's kernel, running OSI's room without all the att bloatware and I'll tell you this tab feels more responsive and smoother than the Galaxy Tab, Acer, Gtab or any other tablet I've ever used.

Personally ICS doesn't feel that much better than Honeycomb; I ran both on my previous tab and I didn't really notice a big difference on my day to day usage.

The HTC Scribe pen paired with a good note taking app such as Lecture Notes is just great for anyone who takes a lot of notes - maybe a college student like myself.

So I would get the JetStream over the ThinkPad, Flyer or any other tablet in the market at the moment. The key is to get it at a good price like I did; if you have to pay $600 then just wait a little bit longer for the next big thing to come out.
[HTC Jetstream] globalgpj:
Exactly my thinking. Agree with everything you said.

However, my device is not rooted yet. What Rom did you use. I usually do this but was waiting for something very stable.

Sent from my HTC Jetstream - CSA Premium
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
You should know better my friend, the first thing you do after you take an android device out of its box is root it.lol.

I'm using OSImood at the moment and its very stable, its basically the stock Rom without all the att junk and some minor tweaks. Galaxy v3 is another ROM that seems to be very popular however I installed it and it didn't work out for me - even though it was my fault because I should have installed doomlord's kernel before the ROM and I did it afterwards so you might want to install the kernel immediately after root and recovery.
[HTC Jetstream] globalgpj:
Ok. I'll give it a go. My HD2 and SG2 all had custom Roma all the time. Can't wait to get rid of the bloatware.

Yeah, I read that on many places, install doomlord's kernel first.

Thanks for all yr suggestions.

Edit.

1. Unlocked using HTC Dev.

2. Installed Doomlord's CWM

3. Installed Doomlord's kernal

4. Installed Doomlord's WiFi modules.

Now I just have to install a custom Rom tonight. :) Great.

i PURCHAED the thinkpad for the stylus. There are many of us with serious palm rejection issues on the thinkpad. Upgraded to ICS... and palm rejection issues remain (even in pen-only mode). Just google thinkpad "palm rejection" issues... you'll see the threads of us complaining.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] param.006:
Recently over.the past tw weeks or so I leave my phone to download something, such as a Tom, overnight. But usually it used to always download it. But now for the past two weeks it keeps on dropping the data connection so the download never finishes. I haven't done anything special to it as far as I know. Is it a problem with my network provider or my;phone? Is there some app which will keep me connected or raise my signal or something?

1. Does all stock roms have the same recovery?

2. If so how can I pull a stock recovery and push it over a stock Rom with cwm...

(replace cwm with stock recovery) in order to be able to get otas
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
In the tar you download from sammobile.com, there is a file called recovery.img. This is the recovery. Just be sure to download the rom suitable for your device. Then you have 2 options:

Put the img in a .tar and flash with odin

OR

Download this file www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0, which originates from this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171089&highlight=lorddeff07.

Replace the img with your own and flash with cwm.

I have used it to flash pershoot's recovery to my 7500 and it worked. I don't know whether it will work for stock, or wifi only version, but I see no reason why it shouldn't.

Please report back as to what you tried and if it worked.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthPhilly:

Now I'm ready to get my ics ota with out of the box factory image xD
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthPhilly:
I feel you m8... But you know as soon as Sammy drops the ICS update the great devs on XDA will pop open the OTA, root it, tweaked it and debloat it. And that will be done most likely in a few hours of the update. And remember if you do the OTA, you most likely will lose root until the devs setup some new root files.

Just saying...

If you are on CM9 or other ext4 ROMs this should work to install KPE, first extract all the packages then on the terminal type from the directory where you have the files

sudo heimdall flash --repartition --primary-boot boot.bin --cache cache.rfs --modem modem.bin --normal-boot normal boot.img --param param.lfs --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --system system.rfs --user-data userdata.rfs

if you want to install the new ROM you can do the same by modifying the above command or you could tell me the name of the files, I could write another statement for flashing them.
