Man. The Verge really is the only site to give this device as poor review...

Wait..What?

Hahahahaha. So many people drinking the Samsung Koolaid. No better than Apple fanboys over here.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
You should watch some of these videos as they show the true nature of the tablet, especially the ones related to multitasking. If I thought this tablet underperformed, I would be the first to admit it:

It's not to do with fanboyism but real life usage.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
If I listened to reviews I wouldn't be considering dropping my tf700. People seem need social support to make them feel better about their purchases. I use reviews to see if anyone uses the product as I might use it and see if further testing by myself is needed. I don't use them as a form of justification. If you're happy with your device, good for you. Let some one else enjoy theirs even if their choice differs. It's not politics or religion we're discussing. It's just an effing tablet!

Everyone keeps praising aluminum... If I everyone drank that koolaid glock other polymer guns wouldnt have been proven to be as reliable as metal guns. And how does anyone keep aluminum from not being scratched? The same way you'd protect plastic- with a case. Aluminum is a soft cheap metal that even plastic can scratch.

With these small screens high res is mostly for epeen status. People swear every day about how much better things look in high res, but when I tell them the files the send me are low res and will print crappy they can't see the difference when I show them press proofs. Somehow 100dpi images look as good as 300. And they can't even see the jpeg artifacting when I point to it. Yet they can see the difference in 1920 vs 720 at 15 feet:confused:. Granted there are quite a few people who can see the differences and it does affect their pleasure. By all means get a higher res screen. I see the differences but at this small size it really makes no difference to me. At 12 inches maybe, but not at 10.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:
See this type of review makes me really angry. Its ok if a device really sucks but you can cleary tell this guy has a personal vendetta againsr samsung/Touchwiz. I feel if you dont like something then biased opinions should be left out ans they should not review the product. Samsung has been doing touchwiz for a while now ao what made him think that this tablet would come with stock ui. I don't agree with blogs using there popularity to trash a device. Seriously with the picture of the device in the trash. Go back to the laggy xoom.

Asus Transformer Prime (which I ALMOST bought) had excellent reviews... and it was a complete disaster.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Prfndhatrdofman:
OK. Some of these points are fair. Except...the SIII is slow and jenky. This tablet clearly is. So he can hate on Touchwiz all he wants. If you can't have a smooth experience with Touchwiz, why throw it on your product?

Honestly is sounds like most of these sites must have gotten an early version of the tablet with some bugs or something.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

You didn't show anything except opening applications. You flipped through home screens a handful of times. It did look smooth, but maybe you should show the multi-tasking with floating windows too. This doesn't prove much, except that the interface IS smooth compared to what the Verge video had and compared to recent reviews.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

i don't think it needs to be aluminum. honestly i hate that about the iPad and the Aluminum macbooks. They dent SO easily.

I Just don't get the creaky noticeably weak plastic Samsung uses. HTC One series uses a strong plastic, that doesn't feel cheap. The One S (UK) has the microarc metal, but whatever, it proved to not be that strong either. My One X has incredible build quality. Why couldn't Samsung do the same with their phones and tablets?

Honestly i shouldn't NEED a case. I think that's total crap. Samsung needs to step up their build quality. They need to be criticized in order to improve, wouldn't you agree?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] DBBGBA:
It seems like a good multitasking machine for me, not that I'm constantly using the splitscreen function, but yes there's the split second lag before the tab switches input between apps, but it will still write on the notes what you scribbled.

Interestingly you can watch youtube videos in browser while scribbling. Neither the youtube video or the writing lag. When switching input between the app there's always that second of lag. I guess it's a software problem at this point? I'm not sure if it will ever be fixed.

If this really bothers you that much, as the questionable reviewer comments, get an ipad, you don't get this kind of split screen or overlayed multitasking but you get a super smooth experience without a pen input. Now if apple releases an ipad 4 with all this functions TODAY and they work better then I'll listen to this guy.

Please also take notice that I'm not a Samsung fan, I do think they copied Apple's UI things and visual style for both the Galaxy S and Tab. Plus they still have to deliver an update to my Galaxy Tab 8.9!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
what better way to let a company know to improve than to voice your opinions. and i agree that a case should be optional. i think the only tablet i've owned that really didn't need it was the xoom. that thing was built like a freaking tank! i could use it as shield and then check emails after the battle without a problem:D

i guess that to get away from needing a case we'd have to move away from these dainty designs or go to some carbon polymer shells.

if u could point me out some apps which do things im looking for i would appreciate it!

Avast. Free. If you're rooted it can't be in installed unless you reflash the phone. Activated by text, no GPS confirmation pop up (unlike Cerberus, Prey, Dive, and 99% of other anti theft apps).

This is my preview post of Mugen Power batteries for the Touch pro and the Desire S

Mugen Power preview

http://mygadgets101.blogspot.com/2012/07/mugen-power-pre-review.html?m=1

I now have the Touch Pro battery and I'm testing it very thoroughly. I will update the blog soon.

The blog page has been updated
[HTC Desire S] DoM!niC:
In the past I thought about to buy this battery but I read in some boards some ppl have problems with unloads and so on.... :( Now I bought a 2nd battery for 11 € @Amazon If I stay outside I just switch.
[HTC Desire S] Supermatt01:
no trouble here

I'm having a great user experience with it on the touch pro. I still want to get one for the desire s and continue the blog. I have heard of these problems before, I'm not having a problem but I'm not using one on my droid yet. I will update asap.

my touch pro will now stand by for 4 days with it online on BB connect 24 hours a day. I can use the device all day long now. Are you having a bad time with uploading?
[HTC Desire S] Dabbleh:
Would appreciate an update on the Desire S battery asap! I am really curious as to whether it's worth it or not.

[HTC Desire S] Supermatt01:
Thread to close

Hi all I'm sorry for the long break in the update process, this is due to having no money with which to make a perchance of the Desire S battery, you see when I first wanted to buy a Mugen battery I contacted the company and asked them reasonable questions about the batteries and what to expect and so forth, in the course of the conversation I asked if there were any way to get a better discount than 7% the rep asked me if I blog, I said yes I do and can. He then asked if I could do a review of the battery I wanted to buy. I said sure and he asked for links to the places I intended to post so I gave him many links and I asked him what I should do next, he said post a review and then send me links back to the review, so I said but I haven't used the unit yet how shall I review it, all he would answer was post links to your review. Well I couldn't post a lie I hadn't tried the unit; so I posted a preview and a review of a product I had used though not the one I wanted it was just for a personal test and to get the use of my TP back. So I contacted the rep again and said check out my post and see if you can give me the unit or a better discount like you promised; after he looked up my links he scolded me for posting at all and then broke communication with me. So I was going to continue the blog when I could afford to buy the battery, but I have been strapped for cash till even this posting now. I'm deeply sorry and I have learned not to trust reps online so easily and I will be closing the thread and blog as I'm no longer a supporter of Mugen due to this treatment.
[HTC Desire S] Proday:
I got mygen power battery about month ago and Im quite satisfied with same...I have about 20% better result than with stock one (18-20h of usage instead 13-15h on 3g); Im using JellyFireBean v2 rom (best ever for desire s)!!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] BikerBoy030:
Hi i have my new SGS3 and i am very happy with it.

But because it is new, not all accessoirs will work with it.

I search a training belt, which allow me, to messure my heart rate.

There are 2 on the market, which SHOULD work.

1. The Polar WearLink+

and

2. Zephyr HxM.

The Polar should work, but aso should have connection problems, many disconnects etc...

I Dont't get a review for the zephyr with the sgs3. I e-mailed the support of zephyr they answered:

Falk,

To be honest I am not familiar with that phone.

If on the Android market then there should not be a problem.

Thank you,

that doesn't help.....

So does anyone use one of this belts for training (walking?)

how does them work?

Best regards,

bikerboy030
[Galaxy S III Accessories] knavs:
I'm looking at getting the Zephyr HxM but i have the same questions although my phone is the Galaxy Nexus on jelly bean 4.1.1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] georg.madler:
Hi!

I own both of those belts. The Polar one didn't work at first so I got the Zephyr too. The Zephyr works without a problem, no loss of connection or any other problem. The Polar should work if you have the latest firmware updates installed, that's what I read a user state on another forum (just be sure not to get the H7-version, that one only works with iphone...) but I haven't tried it since I got the Zephyr.

Greets,

Georg
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BikerBoy030:
Thanks....i ordered the polar, because the zephyr is too expensive for germans (79$+30$ shipping....)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mypetfrog:
Hi, did the Polar belt work with the Samsung Galaxy S3 after all? I'm thinking of the Zephyr HxM, but as you say it's expensive in Eurpoe.

thanks.
[HTC One V] unster:
Hi there!

This topic is continuation, but much more specific than my last one topic: (Screen starts to glow on it's own???).

Please do not close this topic, if you need - close the old one, thanks in advance.

I have problem, like in the topic: while in sleep mode, my phone's screen lights on, then off, and repeats for few times every couple of minutes.

It's problematic for three reasons:

1. my screen battery consumption is now over 60% (I don't use my phone frequently for last few days to check the problem - but still, consumption is very high)

2. due to point number one - very fast battery usage (less than a day)

3. it lights on like a lamp in the night, so I can't keep it near me

I have made small research in google and found out, that that is not a new problem, as you can see for yourself:

http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/htc-one-x-help/443-htc-one-x-blinking-while-sleep.html

http://www.htcdesiresforum.com/htc-...creen-blinks-once-every-minute-in-sleep-mode/

http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/screen-keeps-flashing-lock-screen/

etc.

I have no apps in the background running, I have wifi or other data transfer disabled for the moment. I have also done factory reset for 1 time - no luck here as well.

There seems that there is no logical explanation of the problem, and due to the reading I've done - seems like a software issue rather than hardware.

Please advice! :crying:
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
1. are you on stock?

2. when it started this behavior?

3. was there an update for your system before this behavior? (applies only if you are on stock).

these are questions you'll need to answer in order to get help. if you are on stock, the only help i can suggest is to root your device and at least flash Titanium Kernel #5 - that should definitely increase battery life but idk if it will cease your problem. another suggestion is that you can flash a custom rom that 99% of the time will solve it.

cheers

I told him I was looking at the multicolored flip covers they had because they were $50 in the US and he said he would go grab me one of the olympic ones for free since they had them for promo. he disappeared for a few minutes and then came back looking disappointed as they had already given them all out. he said to come back in 2 days but i was already on my way out to france :(

I have a Zagg screen protector on my phone now.

It works great but after a few months the screen has some stains and scratches from the s-pen.

A replacement screen is free AFTER you pay $12 for shipping and handleing. I only paid $20 for it :confused:

Im thinking of just taking the screen protector off.

Anyone ever scratch the screen or have any nicks from day to day use?

My phone is on my desk most of the time at work and Im pretty careful with the phone.

I have a case on the phone so the back is covered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
You want a screen protector. The zagg is pretty soft which I like the feel of when using the spen so I'd suggest a more rigid protector. The ones att sells are pretty good if you don't want to know its there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blazeplacid:
::Flame suit on::

When I had an iphone I really liked the apple screen protector. I don't know who makes it but it seemed like it was only available at the apple store.

It didn't get smudged or have a any peeling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
I've never had a screen protector on any of my androids.

My last phone ended up with a very light scuff, but hard to tell.

My GNote has one minor scratch. I know where it is, but can't feel it and I'm honestly not able to see it right now with the screen on. It's actually kind bothering me I can't find it!

I hate the way screen protectors feel. Guessing the glas.t or whatever it is, is the only one that feels about perfect.

Really in the end, it's user preference. I think a case with a lip around the screen is essential, screen protector is not. I have 5 cases no screen protectors.

LOL I use Zagg.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crawldit:
I bought my Note on release day from AT&T. I've run three different cases with no screen protectors and I don't have a single blemish on my screen. Like you, my Note spends most of its day on my desk at work. Try it for a couple of days and see if you are comfortable with it.

I put on the protector right in the att store when I bought my note. I just recently replaced it with a glas.t and the difference is night and day!

It feels awesome and is not clowdy like the att protector is. The screen just jumps out at you. Just like it does when not using a protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kinghorsey:
Zagg makes a great screen protector but when I looked when I got my note they only had a version for the international version.

My screen had accumulated more scratches in 2 weeks than my I9000 did in its entire lifespan so I went with something else.

And yes, no matter which brand you go with it will affect the s pen usage but after a while you kind of forget about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jake_HT:
I hate screen protectors myself, never used one on my I9000 and it was completely scratch free somehow. Some small surface scratches started appearing on my note and I figured it was time. Using the glas.t screen protector and it is honestly like there isn't one there at all. It feels the same as naked, looks the same, spen works the same, etc. It's great! I will never use another screen protector ever again, they ruin the feel, but the glas.t doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
No screen protector on my last three devices, Note, Inspire 4G and Nexus One.
