[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
You really shouldn't impose your personal opinion or that of a small group of people you associate with on others. For the majority of meetings I'm in it would be considered rude and inappropriate to be hammering away at a keyboard when you should be focusing on the body language of the people in the meeting and the person speaking at the time. For those situations, the Note is perfect. Maybe your attitude will change when you’re no longer a student and in business (vs. technical) meetings.

You don't follow Android devices much, do you? The Adreno GPU in the new S4 chip reserves 350MB of RAM for itself. With only 1GB of RAM available multitasking is abysmal. Why do you think the U.S. SGS3 with the S4 chip has 2GB of RAM? Samsung doesn't give away RAM (and profit) without reason.

This is a non-sensical rant. I have a HTC One X so I'm no Samsung fanboy. The performance and features of the Note are better than any Android tablet on the market (for now). Asus has a poor reputation for quality as you can see on the front page of any of their devices in this forum. Including the new N7. They don't offer 5GHz Wi-Fi, have I/O issues because of the cheap NAND they use, and have problems using BT and Wi-Fi streaming concurrently because they use AzureWave vs. Broadcom radios to save money. If you think HD is more important than those things, nifty. Not everyone does.

Not everyone cares about a keyboard. Especially those that use their tablets primarily for consumption. The faux-MS Office products on Android are crap and the incompatibility with most corporate products make them inappropriate as laptop replacements. If keyboards were so important Asus' market share would be higher and everyone would be imitating them. It's not and they aren't.

Barry, +1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's the difference between my comments and yours. I'm not an engineer and have no idea how practical the S-Pen is in an engineering environment. If the Note were meant exclusively for engineers Samsung wouldn't be offering it as a mass market device and would instead sell it through Samsung Business directly to the engineering field. Perhaps the small percentage of others here who are in engineering can have the debate you're looking for. The launch event tomorrow that's costing Samsung several hundred thousand dollars isn't for a product dedicated to engineering. Something to think about in your critique.

I bought the Note for its performance over everything else. I had a Teg2 OG G-Tab and it was painfully slow and Nvidia not including NEON in the GPU made it horrible for video playback. These are the things that made me buy the Note:

1) CPU/GPU/RAM

2) Multi-view

3) Annotation

4) Taking notes in meetings

5) Exceptional web browsing

6) Samsung's audio and video codec support

7) Useful features like Awake Stay, Pop Up Play, AllShare Cast, and Buddy Photo

8) Rock solid build quality

P.S. - I followed the Prime from its launch. After that, I'd never even consider an Asus tablet regardless of features or cost/benefit.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] denniegst:
im a electrical engineering student with a focus in power and electronics, and in all my class there is a lot of schematics, graphs, and math. a regular tablet with a stylus is not the same as a pen with a active digitizer. you can add a keyboard to a tablet but you can add an active digitizer to a laptop. ive tried using my laptop in class and its difficult. in my field theres not that much words to type, just name of the equation and little side notes here and there. using the number pad on a laptop to do equations is slow and difficult. using a mouse or trackpad to do graphs and insert text box here and there is the same. my professors also hand out alot of printed or post online pdf notes, so having the ability to edit and add notes on the pdf on a tablet would be more ideal. yes i can do that on the printed version but by week 3 my backpack is filled with paper.

your technical field must involve more typing but mine doesn't. i have reports to do too, but those reports are usually due in few days; in which i can go home and use my pc for excel and word or even use my bluetooth keyboard with polaris. the note really just apply more to people with the need to write/draw on a tablet. i guess that need would have to be enough to overlook the FHD of the Asus infinity or ipad3. if i didnt need to write so much i would go for the infinity. i do a lot of reading too and i would like to get back into gaming, which is all perfect for the FHD, but it is just not on top of my list. keep in mind, android at the moment has not adapted to FHD yet. 500-600$ (hofully for a wifi version of the note) is a lot, but even though thats a lot of money i know i will upgrade in a year or two for a new tablet and by that time im sure there will be a FHD with active digitizer tablet; and hopefully a majority of android and apps will be FHD by then also.

i am still going to wait a few weeks to buy the note, just to see if any problems come up. if theres a select few that may weigh the note and the infinity the same to me, then i will get the infinity instead. worst case i can get a Adonit Jot stylus for it. the infinity just has a better longevity and better support. where as the note is ideal for my situation at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] StiiLe:
Yep, I understand. I wasn't talking about engineering at the beginning, but multimedia part.

I read someone or even you talking about S-Pen to take notes, that's why I talked about my personal opinion : I take note with keyboard. But as denniegst said, it depends on our using. For the professional part, I think most of us would need keyboard, which is easier and faster, but you think S-Pen is better. ;)

On the GNote 5", S-Note doesn't recognize everything, particularly when we have to write something fast. Is it improved ?

Teg3 has been improved and it includes NEON now. We can watch 1080p videos even with the "Power Saving" mode, only the "companion processor" is on.

1) I understand, but other tablets are not so far right ?

2) I can understand it too, even if there are apps for it too (overskreen ...). That would be a great thing for TF700.

3) and 4) I disagree, but that's personal using. So I can understand (difficult but ok :) )

5) For me the web browsing is much comfortable with HD or Full HD. But maybe Samsung made a very good browser, I didn't see this part.

6) I don't see the difference, I can read everything.

7) These applications are not needed for me, or I can download similar on the markets.

8) This GNote10"1 is built with the same plastic as GNote 5" ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Are you here to discuss the Note or to reinforce your purchase of an Infinity? Other than the 1080P display, the Infinity is inferior in every way to the Note. The exception being the hard keyboard option if that's a deciding factor. That and perhaps gaming and not based on performance but the games that are designed and available specifically for Tegra. No matter how big an Asus fan anyone is you can't look at the forums on XDA and not draw the conclusion that some of their choices for materials and how they're assembled aren't questionable. My year-old OG G-Tab was dropped more times than I can count including tumbling down a flight of stairs. It looked as good as new up until the end. I'd love a 1080P display, unfortunately it wasn't available to me in a package I found desirable or worth premium pricing.

Are you ignoring the benchmarks on the first page? The Note trounces the Infinity and every other Teg3 tablet available by a wide margin. And it feels in everyday use exactly how the benchmarks reflect it. Until you use it you'll have no idea how much better it is at just about everything. I'll post some video of some more taxing stuff like watching HD video in a browser when I have time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] redviper666:
I have no idea what kind of scientist you are but I write papers in Tex, and I think on a paper/pen. Switching to a digital tablet is invaluable for me.

I give a lot of presentations and they have a crap load of complex data flow diagrams. Not once have I felt comfortable making that stuff in power point. I use Visio for these diagrams and I import them into powerpoint. If I could make them on a digital tablet I'd personally be ecstatic.

Don't take it the wrong way, but if you think a big part of being an engineer is writing reports, you aren't a worthwhile engineer. Sometimes we have to write papers, sometimes we have to write reports but the big part of being an engineer or a scientist is thinking. And like I said, when I am brainstorming I can't do it with a keyboard.

Now clearly you are a lot smarter than I could ever be. Clearly. Good for you imo. But I am personally looking forward to the note 10.1 with baited breath.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] :
@StiiLe: This is the worst type of trolling one can do. Most comments in this N10.1 section is about people trying to find information on the device. You are simply trolling and justifying your purchase of Asus. Ok, good luck with Asus device, nobody is going to kill you for using a Asus. Why are trolling here? What's your purpose? If you don't have anything to discuss or add to the topic, you can keep your mouth shut. When people are saying that they are interested in S-Pen or S-Note or Adobe PS, why are you trying to prove that keyboard is the best thing since sliced bread? Remember, this is XDA. People here are not dumb, most of them will be engineers, designers, architects, or students with great interest in technology. This is not a place to spread BS. If you are interested in the product (maybe just curious), you are more than welcome to debate in the forums. But simply starting a A vs B trolling and justifying your purchase is pure nonsense.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] StiiLe:
Damn, I deleted my post because I just read hot_spare and he's right... :(

I read again the title of this discussion and it was really not the place for me to compare some products at the end. I'm sorry for this "troll". At the beginning I wanted to be more objective ! ;)

I will continue this discussion somewhere else, maybe with PM.

And I am also sorry if I have offensed someone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
No you're not. I was going to link you to the Note v. TF700 comparison in their forum because they'll obviously be more sympathetic. I see you were already there. This is how you really feel. So indeed you are a troll.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] denniegst:
a note 10.1 vs infinity thread is interesting, as these are probably two of the top three tablets at the moment. StiiLe, your comments are more than welcome in my book, atleast it wasn't total bs. you were able to back it up it facts and opinion, which isn't total trolling.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] StiiLe:
Yeah... I was trolling because I was telling the pros and the cons of the GNote10"1 compared with the TF700 at the end. And the title isn't "TF700 vs Note" here.

Maybe I bring an other opinion, but it's called "troll" in this case. Wrong topic.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] :
Dude, people tried to be rational with you. But you are a serious troll. Do you think we can't decide what we should buy? We don't need you to tell us the difference between TF700 and Note. You are seriously polluting the environment here. We did not ask for your valuable comments. Go somewhere else with your trolling.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lardo5150:
I would like to see that video. I am still in my 30 day window with best buy on my infinity and that 2gb is attractive to me. I would like to see its performance in real life like browsing or having 600 widgets running

OOOOH SNAP. Someone got caught. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lardo5150:
Can someone tell me the specs as compared to the ipad2 display and if there has been a date for jelly bean?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ratindahat:
i'm glad StiiLe just saved my workstation of all the clutter. Guess i don't need all of my composition books filled with quick math and crude sketches because the mouse and keyboard are perfect for initial design considerations. Guess i can throw out my mechanical pencils as well.

in all seriousness though, the s-pen is the thing that is drawing me to this tablet. as long as the performance is as good or better than my tf101(original asus transformer), i'd be pretty happy. anyone know if palm rejection is working with non s-pen apps(specfically ezpdf reader).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Scotlac:
I'm pretty sure the palm rejection primarily has to do with the pen and the screen rather than individual apps. Sadly I can't tell you this for sure because I don't have one. :*(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ratindahat:
that is sort of my hope. I guess it will just take some time and playing around with one to see if the palm-rejection is implemented well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I enjoyed reading that debate between note vs. Tf700. damn this is getting hard to decide which one to go with. I might try out note 10.1. if I dont like it, I can always return & get infinity pad. I already know how prime works so infinity pad will be similar but more powerful. this samsung is bringing new features IM interested in trying out.

Decisions, decisions..lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cardman827:
Wow, I thought I was bad in wanting new gadgets all the time, I had been following the prime threads so of course I know your name. Can I ask what a person does with a prime, nexus 7, Ipad, and possibly a note all at the same time. Lol I'm not judging since I love my gadgets too just wondering, and If you are married how to explain all that to the significant other...because I find that a very hard thing to do.. I know a little off topic, but I just needed some advice on how I was to purchase my next tablet since the prime didn't work out for me either..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bathanr:
I have owned the Xoom, prime, and infinity 10 in tabs and I went to pick this up since I was not pleased with the infinity's performance. It was jerky. It also had a bad build quality IMO. I truly did not see a difference between the prime and infinity, so I took it back.

I picked up the note 10.1 today and out of the box, I mist say this thing is as buttery smooth as my nexus 7 with jelly bean (still the 7 seems very polished in regards to smoothness). I love the s pen. I can really take notes as if I was writing on a piece of paper. I think they did a great job on this one. I also own a Samsung 7.7 through Verizon and it is still running 3.2 honeycomb and though I love the size and quality, the performance sucks and now I use my nexus 7 for mostly everything.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
OK..lmao. I gave my Ipad to my gf. Her & my daughter use it. My daughter loves using all learning apps and apps that play cartoons and such. The nexus 7 is my latest love..lol. I'm still amazed how a device that only costs $249(16gb) performs so well in comparison to my other devices THST cost twice as much. Nexus 7 is killing all the benchmarks right now. I KNOW BARRY WILL POP IN ON THIS..LOL. I've seen his posted benchmarks. But nexus 7 has sick developement right now. Stock may be faster on new note. But nexus7 already killing the rest of android tablets benchmarks with its 1.6-1.8ghz kernels. Several stories across the tech universe on this. Nexus 7 scores shown was with trinity kernel in featured stories on this. Sorry got carried away. Nexus 7 just rocks! I'm sure note 10.1 with developement will be sick.

As for my prime, I loved it. But lets just say I'm in the market for a new 10.1in. I'm looking to get either infinity pad(since I still have the dock) or the note 10.1 to replace it. But this decision is especially hard considering how well my nexus 7 performs for the price point I paid. Now $499 is seeming expensive and I'm expecting more now since nexus 7 changed the game up. I'm still liable to go right out now to best buy and get this note 10.1 and see how it is.

This purchase wouldn't be a neccessity but the gadget lover in me wants to replace My prime. Once I got N7, I hardly used my prime. My prime was a good unit but had deeply seated flaws THST couldn't be ignored once infinity pad was released and fixed the majority of its(prime) flaws.

So who knows, I might be around here more often. We Will see. I will go to best buy today and mess with both tablets to see how I like them and compare. If I come out of there with one, ill always have return policy to refund or exchange unit for the other device. No more Gamestop purchases for me..lol(where I purchased my prime) best buy returning/exchanging primes for infinity pads more than 6 months after purchase. Based on them honoring manufacturer warranty and known issues on some prime.

P.s. my justification is that it will replace the Prime. I wouldn't go out and spend another $499 on a new tablet. I will be using that same money ;) so that's why I'm torn between whether I want a new 10.1in, Infinity pad or note 10.1, or not. My nexus 7 has really thrown a wrench into all this. If I get either, would I even use it as much considering how much I use nexus 7? That's the dilemma I have now. I could see myself using both. I might seem cheesy but I like the IR blaster feature as a universal remote...lol. either tablet would be mainly for in home use. Nexus 7 is a use anywhere kinda tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bathanr:
Lol..u sound like me.. once I got my Nexus 7, I never used my prime. The smoothness is sick on it. But being a gadget addict, I want to have a good 7 in and a good 10 in. I was really not too impressed with the infinity 700. I know it had the better screen, but it did not seem that noticeable when watching HD. The s pen is a great innovation on this note. I figure I would give it a shot and decide whether to keep it before my return date ends.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cardman827:
Sorry, didn't mean for you to go through all that explanation, but thanks! I too will probably end up trying the note and Best Buy's 30 day return policy although I feel a little guilty doing it.

Hello,

I have a problem, I have a GT-S5839i and I see that there is not much to like in ROM. Even the original ROM are not available.

The concern is that when buying a Galaxy Ace you end up with a model like mine.

If someone has an idea would be so cool thank you.

I am pretty certain the S5830I ROMs work on your model.

Anyway, what's your question? Was that it?

[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't do that for the over the air update.

You would need to flash stock recovery (assuming you've flashed a custom recovery), and then they can install the update through Android, like normal.

The guide i posted takes you through this process, as i did it.

Oh, and if you flashed Clockwork Mod, this is likely causing your charging problems. This is why i used AR Recovery 3.15 instead.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You can either take the OTA update or install an RUU.

Both ways, you have to relocked your bootloader or S-OFF.

For the OTA, you should be stock everything.

Stock recovery and rom.

For an RUU, just make sure you are on a rom that matches your firmware.

Gingerbread ROM on Gingerbread firmware.

I have amon ra and I was responding to the first answer, I will try your method, do I have to go stock first or will the first step in your guide put me back to stock recovery, then relock bootloader .
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
For the OTA, you need to be stock everything or it won't install. This is why I included instructions on how to revert back to stock recovery before trying the OTA.

You do not need to re-lock your hboot if you have S-OFF. What happens is that the OTA update re-locks the bootloader and you have to unlock it again if you want to play with your device (like, re-install AR Recovery). Or, if you have S-Off, you can install a different hboot that's already unlocked, and then you can flash custom recoveries, etc. But since messing with the hboot is very risky, I chose to re-unlock my hboot the HTC way after installing the OTA.

*important edit*

The OTA may have worked for me with an unlocked hboot because I was S-Off prior to updating. If you're not S-Off, you may indeed need to re-lock before updating.

However, it may be just as easy to get S-Off. It's actually very easy. I will make a very easy guide for this as well. Let me know, and I can help you through it. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't take an expert. The hardest part for me was just finding a good, uncomplicated guide - doesn't seem to be one at the moment, though there is a ton of info out there.

Anyway, let me know if you want help getting S-Off.
