[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mike02z:
I liked it when I bought it but the Nexus 7 is far and away the better 7" tablet in my opinion with one exception. The advantage of the Samsung is the internal micro SD. If you are staying stock, and want to watch media from non cloud based sources, the Samsung is better. If you will be rooting, you can use an OTG USB cable and use micro sd cards on the 7. The 7 is better in almost every other way and has a plain JB interface without the extra bloat Samsung puts on their tablets. My guess is we may never even see an official Jelly Bean release for the Galaxy 2 given the speed at which Samsung updates their software. Of course, there are multiple JB ROM's already out for the Galaxy 2, just not stock versions.

My Galaxy 2 died last weekend. It would just go dead and then required you plug in to the computer and hold the power button for 60 seconds. As soon as the screen would shut off, the same issue occurred. I called Samsung and they were very quick to send me a shipping label to return it for repair. Within 4 days the unit was supposedly repaired with a "Software Upgrade (External Factor)" whatever that means. It should arrive back on Tuesday. Hopefully it is fixed.

Just my opinion....
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] moxlon69:
I have no complaints. Does everything my Thrive does , i can put JB on, and have used this as a credit Card terminal. I had audio issues with a custom rom and video playback, nothing major. Only things i dont care for are the stock predictive text and that some of my tegra specific apps dont work (this having and OMAP cpu and all).

Was definitely worth the cash since it actually outperforms my Thrive for most uses and cost half as much. Thrive wins points for the full sized usb and hdmi ports though.

Thank you all for your time on replying...I think this is the tab I am gonna settle on...a good solid all rounder.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] TheOnly1:
I have this (the 3G version) for a week now. So far I'm perfectly happy with the purchase. Excellent value for money.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] knucklesmckay:
I really like my tab 2 7.0", but....

My Pros

- TouchWiz actually has some nice apps on this device. File manager, email, pop-up apps, power toggles are nice features

- Speakers are awesome

- Expandable memory

- Works great with USB thumb drives, mouse and keyboard (with adapter)

My Cons

- Screen resolution sucks, things are blurry (like most Android tablets). Some newer devices like Nexus 7, Asus Infinity, iPad3 have HD screens

- No TV out

- TouchWiz although I think is quite nice slows it down at times. I rooted and froze a ton of unwanted apps. Not all can be to be disabled through native ICS settings

- Chrome that comes with the latest update crashes a lot. New bookmark widget is also bad. Install ICS browser+ from the market instead.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] InfinityFTW:
I got it yesterday, rooted and installed AOKP JB. The size feels perfectly great to me. I have not cycled the battery enough to give any input on tat. Games run awesomly well, including minecraft PE on fancy graphics. Its an awesome tab, i love it :)

The Tab27" wireless reciever is weak compared to the Nexus 7
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sergio_f:
the wireless receiver on galaxy tab 2 7" is the worst thing on this tablet, the second is the battery life with wifi on! i got mine, i like it but......
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] lg777:
For typing, Thumb Keyboard is the best coming from a blackberry. The split keyboard is excellent and fully customizable. The only issue is holding this in portrait mode leads to the death grip but if you are note taking and don't need a strong wifi connection you got to try it. Landscape mode resolves this also.

I am going to try a custom rom to help boost this baby up a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] knucklesmckay:
Yea this device may start out with OK performance but it does get pretty laggy. Rooting and running a Jellybean ROM will increase performance a good amount.

invalid zip

I am a mac user without access to a PC (no odin). I have TWRP recovery installed. I used android file transfer to move the stock firmware zip in the download section to the internal SD (root folder). I wiped the system and cache, then install zip - but it fails every time with "invalid zip file format". I have tried a half dozen other versions of the stock ROM from various sources and they all fail with the same error. ZIP signature verification is disabled. Just when I thought that i was doing something completely dumb and not flashing correctly at all - I tried re-flashing the lineageOS ROM i have and that worked fine. I've read a bit about unpacking and re-zipping these zips to get them to work, but that requires 7zip (which I don't have on mac). Help! am I doing something dumb or do I not have the correct zip files? I really need to get back to stock so I can activate my cellular service.

Hi Guys,

I have searched around but cannot find an answer to my question. Does it matter if you flash a ROM/Firmware that is meant for a different country if it is unbranded?

Are there any advantages to flashing the relevant Firmware/ROM for your country or disadvantages to flashing an unbranded Firmware/ROM meant for a different country?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviral1990:
In my opinion, you can go ahead and flash that rom without any concerns :).The rom will work fine and will be stable(if it is stable lol).The only problem you might face is the modem..You might not get proper signal reception or data speed etc as the modem will be different than your country one because of flashing the new rom..However, you can easily flash another modem to suit your device. However, do make a backup before doing anything..U never know any screwups can occur..

By the way..I would also like to know the advantages of country specific firmware lol..though i have tried different country firmwares and they work perfectly on my phone(except that modem thingy i mentioned above)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dampierre:
Only advantage is the modem. But I did not face any problem yet about low signal or etc. And you can easily flash another modem via cwm or Odin. Custom Roms are much better than stock.
