Who ever said it "DIDNT" have one? Meaning the metalback. That didn't stop me from having a good working unit though. That's where people get confused. No device is perfect. Just like now I'm seeing a screen light bleed thread in here and some other ones. No device is free from manufacturing flaws. Nothing man made is 100% perfect.

IM HIGH ON TECHNOLOGY ;) my experience with Asus was a great one. So great I got me a Nexus7. Which is flawless and one of the best tabs out now. So it doesn't really matter if I liked Prime or not. This is Galaxy Note 10.1 forum. This is my new device. If I like it, which I do so far, ill keep it. If not, ill get my money back or just exchange for infinity pad. This device in testing phase for me. Simple as that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lardo5150:
This +1

I will be trying mine out as well soon. If it does not meet my needs, I will exchange it for my 3rd infinity :(

I am also impressed with the note 10.1 I have been thru a few tabs . Archos, xoom, than TFR 101, got so frustrated with the probes with android bugs on th TFR I jumped ship and bought an iPad 2. I needed to judge for myself . At first I enjoyed the iPad alot. It was smooth and reliable. Rooted it and like it evenmore. Looking back i see i was always searching for ways to do tasks on the ipad2 that are easier and standard on android. I use my tablets alot for work and believe it or not it the ipad2 fit in well there. I was waiting for the note to come out and when it did i knew i needed it. First i hesitated with some of ther reviews. But than said i need to judge for myself. And I am glad i did bc those reviews are so wrong. This thing is amazing. Playing with it side by side with my ipad2 the display in my opinion is just as good and just as smooth. I hope there is not a huge delay in geeting jelly bean but even without it this is great. The pen feature blows everything else away. I was considering an adonit touch or jaja on the ipad but this is so much better.

I just dont understand some of those reviews.:confused:

In the end i am glad i got this and am happy with all of its features. Anyone want to buy an ipad2. :p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] intruda119:
The note 10.1 and gs3 were the 2 devices that won my wife over. Had to stop working to pick hers up on release day. Coming from ipad3 she is wondering what took her so long to switch. All the extra functionality is blowing her.

Only thing is screen resolution. But its not a deal breaker.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] richB7:
Oh I understand the perfect thing statement but the Prime was so far from perfect it was ridiculous.

Come on at least most devices can pick up WiFi and GPS, that's basic and the prime had difficulty doing that. I hardly call that debacle a manufacturing flaw it was flat out a design one.

Anyway good luck with the note. I've no light bleed whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mywingtophone:
So far my experience with my note is nothing lessthan spectacular my only regret is that i should have purchase the international versin with 32gb 3g version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sledgie:
:eek: you bought a Galaxy Note 10.1? The sky is falling....

What happened to you getting your beloved TF700?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:
He never had a tf700. He has a prime and nexus 7.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sledgie:
I was being snarky but I know that. He said multiple times in the Prime forums that he wanted to trade his prime or exchange it to gamestop for an Infinity TF700 but couldn't. I was being sarcastic to Asus top cheerleader btw. I'm just shocked that's all
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
As far as I can tell the 3 different display choices effect gamma, warmth and saturation. I personally prefer the "movie" setting as it gives the blackest blacks while adding some warmth. The other two settings ccreate some activating around screen fonts.

Does anyone know of a good app that sets gamma independently?

Sent from my awesome Note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
When there's a will, there's a way ;) I still have around 30 days to decide if I will keep the note or exchange for an infinity pad. So far, the note is performing very well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lardo5150:
Glad to hear it is working out for you.

Any lag moving through screens or apps? Any adjustments you have had to make?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I experience no lags what so ever. Didn't have to do anything. I made things even faster, by choice, by going into developer options and cutting off all animations. I do that on all my devices. I also cut on force gpu for 2d renderings. Its not needed but I do it anyways. Cutting the animations off makes things That much more faster.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GaresTaylan:
Its funny you say this. Several years ago when android was pre-gingerbread i made fun of my wifes droid all the time. I hated that thing compared to my iphone 3gs. I have always been an apple fan (not fanBOY) and after 3 generations of ipads and iphones, that ive owned,, as well as convincing my wife to switch to the iphone, here i am on android.

I loved my iphone, and like the app store more, but the smaller screen and lack of LTE was killing me. I need the LTE for business, especially when using the hotspot. As a galaxy nexus owner i am happy.

I find myself using my ipad 3rd gen less and less. I love the screen, it is better than this tablet IMO, but after 3 gens of almost the same thing, ive found myself getting bored. The functionality of the s pen and newer multitasking was very appealing to me and im excited to give it a shot at work this week.

As primarily an Apple household, its interesting to see where Android has come in the past few years and now i find myself switching shoes with where my wife once was. Apple doesnt really need to make changes to keep their current customer base, but for parts of the techy crowd like me they need to. I think the changes samsung has made on this device is the first real innovation that samsung has made in the tablet market.

End wall of text.

Note

In my opinion Note 10.1 is better then iPad.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mexman2010:
i have note 10.1 from like 2 weeks i love it too much , very good display and S pen

i have a little light bleed in the corner left behind home button but it didint bother me at all , anyway i can notice it only in black screens
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Trekfan422991:
I am an android fanboy. . However I had an ipad for for one app and one app alone.. and it worked great.. i hated the feel of the ipad i dont like the 4:3 i am fully in the google ecosystem. And so i returned it for the note 10.1 two weeks ago..

This thing is so boss!! I have turned 4 ipad users in one week of having this tablet and showing it off.. i have used a lot of android tablets.. i have to say this is the best one i have used. Anyone else agree?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
So judging by the review in this and many other threads I have come to one conclusion that people are apprehensive about purchasing note at first because of the bad reviews but when they do no matter from what tablet they are switching over ipad or any other android they fall in love with the not atleast 90% of them do. Which talks a great deal about the device itself but not so great about Samsung marketing team.

But what is good to see is that some of the experts are liking it which means it is a great device and which also means we will have some good development in the future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fozzir:
note 10.1 is perfect except I wish it felt as solid as the ipad.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Trekfan422991:
Oh and its nice to have a device I never have to worry about battery life .. This thing is amazing!!!! Wwwwwoooooooohhhh!! Aaaaaghhhh
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] b1ackplague:
I'm using jellybean on my WiFi Note 10.1 and so far my only complaint is samsungs keyboard; I love its layout but hate its lag. Fortunately androids stock keyboard saves the day.

This thing is fast, screen is great, battery life is superb and the s pen is a godsend for my Pure Math Major.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kenhicg:
Give swift keyboard for tablets a try. They have great predictive text. It may still be on sale for 1.99. Also thumb keyboard works great on a tablet.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
I've had my note since tuesday and only bought it for the pen and for sketching because of the reviews saying that's the only good thing about it.

Well since then I've been playing games, watching movies, learning how to edit photos with photoshop and I'm still learning about the note, not comfortable with browsing with it yet or typing with the keyboard but I'll get to grips with it too.

I want to learn about all the s pen can do and learn all that stuff that I see people doing on youtube videos that really amazed me.

Can't wait for the jellybean update to come out cause if it's anything like jellybean on my s3 then I'd be very happy.

Only one thing not happy about is only a small limited choice using the multi window and only a few apps support it.

Oh and it keeps distracting me from doing any sketching :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tricky103:
The multi window should improve with the jb update,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
It's fine on the N8000 and has added some new features. Handwriting recognition is much improved. When I first updated it was a bit sluggish on my device too; same thing for a couple of others. Clear cache and data in settings and empty the clipboard. Worked on mine.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Blubowtie:
I have been on the fence on this one vs the Nexus 10.

I broke down and bought the note today. I am loving my experience so far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kenhicg:
Can someone tell me how the camera is? I've heard it's not so good.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Really haven't touched the camera, really has so much to offer than a camera.

Never even bothered to try it out.

I am sadly returning my note. The pixel density is really noticeable to me at natural viewing distance, and now that I've noticed it, I can't not notice it.

:(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Well no one can stop you to do that so best of luck with your new tablet whichever you chose
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] theoneofgod:
Thanks. I'll stick to not having one, for now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
I find it strange when people say they are not happy with the screen of Note, because most of the laptops in the market have the same or around it resolution and generally have a 30 to 50% bigger screen size and that seems to be okay no body buys a mac book with retina display because of that.

My point is its our mindset and nothing else. No offence to anyone.

I have an HP laptop 6043 and believe me the resolution comparison is not that much off but the viewing angels in the laptop are pathetic compared to note and that where the comparision be should it ?? because i would be coming from a laptop to note

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
When you put it that way it doesn't make a difference but coming from other tablets or my phone it does.

But to be really honest I like the screen and the colours snd after watching a movie on mine think that hd movies look great and think that it has to not have a hd display because of the wacom digitiser, you don't see a wacom critiq with a hd or retina display as you wouldn't be able to zoom in as much as you can with sketching plus it would be a major battery drain and wouldn't be as fast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] theoneofgod:
I believe the problem isn't the resolution, but the PPI. The nexus 7 (which I had previously) has a higher PPI and identical resolution, still, it is noticeable.

The only other tablet I've owned apart from the note and nexus 7 is the tab 2, which has the exact same screen.

We (or I) expect too much I guess, the idea of having a device that you touch, and are forever starring at, if fonts and images are jagged, then it is a problem.

All of the notes features are great, the pen, multi window, all of it, but what is the main purpose/attraction to a tablet?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Seriously blurred images, blurred fonts?

On mine I don't, either you need glasses or mess with the brighness levels and auto brighness and power saving
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] theoneofgod:
I corrected myself. I meant jagged, not sharp/smooth.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Mine are sharp if I change my display from natural to movie or dynamic.

Your really just reaching here for a reason not to like the note.

I think hd movies look great and very sharp but that's just me

Only pictures that are in lower resolution or low kb will have jagged edges
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] theoneofgod:
I'm not reaching out for more ways of being unhappy with it. There is one, and that's the screen. We can't argue about it because it's my opinion mate.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Ok everyone has to like it before buying and you do not like the screen its your personal preference and thats abosolutely okay.

As far as PPI is concerned it is directly propotional to the resolution and screen size see my post link
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I don't think anyone here wouldn't be happier with a FHD display. There are five 10+" tablets with higher PPI - W8, iPad, Asus TF700, Acer A700, and the N10. For people that want to stay on Android there's just the TF700, A700, and N10. The Asus and Acer tablets are the same price as the Note and both have build quality and component issues. They also have only 1GB or RAM and since their FHD displays are at the maximum resolution supported by Teg3 both have performance issues when pushed hard. The N10's a great value but it has its own share of issues including backlight bleed, poor battery life, app incompatibility because of its display, and it's using a phone UI on a 10" tablet. Because of its unique features the Note's kind of in a league of its own for people that appreciate them. For someone who doesn't and wants to stay on Android they'll be making compromises to get a higher PPI display. So it's a matter of what you want to sacrifice. And if you want/need 3G like I do there really isn't another alternative. But you're right. Different things are important to different people and for high-end prices they should buy what makes them happy.

On the subject of the display; the N10 has a higher PPI but the physical display itself may or may not be "better" than the Note's:

Here's the TF700 next to the Note. Notice the horizontal black line that appeared on TF700's display half way through Lisa's testing in the second picture. For people concerned about the Note's display watch the video. Lisa does a pretty good job describing both display's strengths and weaknesses.

The only thing that I can see myself replacing the Note with is another Note with a FHD display. Having gotten use to the additional functionality I don't think I'd ever buy an ordinary Android tablet again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Ditto. Lisa's review was an important factor in my decision to purchase the GN 10.1, what with all the bad reviews out there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Funny thing. I have a Teg3 One X that I've really enjoyed and is probably the best phone I've owned from a usability perspective. I just bought a Note II that's arriving Wednesday because I want the same features I've gotten spoiled by on the big Note in a smaller package. And I'm giving up the One X's fantastic higher PPI LCD2 display to get those features. It's a big YMMV decision but it shows how much developing features people are attracted to and affect what they can do with their devices can influence purchasing decisions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
I've been running with Evos since they first came out and love the device, but since owning the Note I'm considering changing over as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Where's lisa's review?

Here's a great video showing Samsung torture testing the SGS3 and Note II. All Samsung's devices are plastic but the video does show that their designed with durability in mind.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] theoneofgod:
I agree 100%. I am not in any rush to own a tablet but if I was, it would undoubtedly be the note.

Thinking about it. If there will be a 10.1 2, now that could be something else!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
That said, loving my Note and everything, I couldn't bring myself to go for one of their laptops because of this.

Tethering is fine?

Hi there OP

can i just ask, i assume you have the wifi only version? You may not be in Australia like me, but i am really struggling to make a decision between the the 3G version for $200 more or if the tethering to my GS2 will be perfectly easy enough to save the $200 and buy the wifi only version. Are there any known issues tethering to a smart phone? The idea is to upgrade my phone to LTE in the next 6 months anyway, so not sure i want to have to pay a data plan on Tablet as well as phone

cheers for your response

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dtziheucdavis:
I tether to my S3 using Foxfi and have no issues. Really kills the battery on the S3 though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Yes tether is good for short time but if you use it as a dedicated device like u do a wifi router it will not work because it has its side effects over heating the phone draining the battery faster then you can spell draining so its not advisable unless for short durations
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rpmbnsf:
Unless you have a Note II :) I can tether for about 8 hrs a day to my tablet and still have over 60% battery life left on my cell. Not streaming video the whole time or anything but using it fairly often over the 8 hr period.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Yes there is a side effect to that you battery life will go down by almost half
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toine8:
Well i ended up getting a ripper deal so went the 3g note 10.1 just to safeguard for later on if i decide i need 3G capability.

Now just trying to get used to it! Now i need all your recommendations for best note taking apps mainly to link to calendar appointments for work.

Appreciate all your comments/suggestions

I have had many Android smartphones and tablets. I was never satisfied with anything like this in note 10.1. I'm a musician and write music, reading scores in pdf, use music programs (which, hopefully, will develop other), thanks to spen has become easy! I love this tablet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemegahertz:
I would have posted in the trinity kernel but im still new and learning and cant do that yet. After reading about the little dust-up in the trinity kernel thread Ive really started to question benchmark testing software for android. As I understand quadrent is just the most common bench marker but many people seem to not like it. While I enjoy getting high scores Id rather have a "true" benchmark of my performance on my tablet. Does anybody have any suggestions for a better benchmark software or at least one you can't :cheat" at. Also on a unrelated note I see the different roms available however it appears people seem to act like CM10 or AOKP are real special compared to other roms. As I have no history with tablets or android before getting my Nexus is their a reason why these roms are treated with such reverence by some? Thanx alot guys
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off, I'm using plain old pure asop as my ROM.. simple, clean, and fast. and for benchmarking, you should use many different benchmarks, none of them singlely test for everything. some are graphics oriented, some cpu oriented, some browser oriented, and some read/write oriented. here's a screenshot of the benchmarks that I use. and yes, even quadrant can be useful if you watch the individual scores(we watch the mem and CPU scores in quadrant BTW). oh BTW, any benchmark can be cheated. but what's the point, you're only lying to yourself.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemegahertz:
Thanx for the quick reply! I agree completely about lying to yourself I just hate seeing incredible scores and not knowing if they cheated and me racking my brain trying to figure out why my scores aren't that good lol. Going to have to try out those other apps. Also not sure if you work with morfic or just a big supporter but thank you for the kernel, excellent battery life and power when I need it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] auchengyu:
hi Guys, I have a big question.

I have a Xperia S with 2.3.7 (rooted).

There is a notification on my phone to upgrade to 4.0 (firmware 6.1.A.0.452). I have this for some time already, but I didnt want to upgrade yet due to being afraid that I will lose data (game saves, personalizations etc etc).

So my problem is, will I lose data if I upgrade via Sony PCC? If yes, what will I lose? As I really dont want to lose my game saves and all customized stuff. As u know Xperia S has internal memory inside. But many software are "PHONE ONLY" (seen via APP 2 SD).

Is it possible to upgrade from 2.3.7 rooted to --> 4.0 rooted? any risks? what will lose? how to prevent?

Thanks again guys~~ :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] petulikt:
NO fear, you dont lose data, without problem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] auchengyu:
hmm are you sure? I always see people talking about Titanium Backup FIRST!..etc etc.

Does anyone has this situation before?:

2.3.7 ROOTED (Singapore version I remember) ----> upgrade to 4.0 ROOTED??

Will the 4.0 be rooted? if not, that means my previous rooted apps will be gone or inaccessible?

I really worry that a upgrade from a ROOTED device till actually delete or ruin all my previous settings and apps (as I am ROOTED and upgrade will make it not rooted, am I right?)

The main reason is I dont really want to play stuff all over again or set all contacts/sms or stuff all over again if I upgrade from a rooted 2.3.7 to a non-rooted 4.0 (possible to upgrade to ROOTED 4.0 directly??) :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] petulikt:
if you upgrade throught official way, like OTA, you dont lose data. Only if you upgrade with flashtool or other same way, than its problem that you can lose you data
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] auchengyu:
hmmm. I understand that via official way (OTA) will not delete stuff originally.

But the problem is; I am ROOTED, the official update will overwrite my ROOT status right? So if I upgrade to 4.0, I will have a non-rooted version right? Another thing to add is that my 2.3.7 is a bootloader unlocked ROOT...so..this is why Im so worried and dont dare....pls help >.<
