You''ll find that's called palm rejection mate. If the stylus tip is within about 15mm of the screen then a finger touching the screen will not be recognised. Move the stylus away before using your finger.

I swear to god i hate it when people say this ^^^^

"Have you seen the new s3?"

"Oh yeah that new one by Samsung?"

"Yeah! Wanna check it out?"

"Nah, heard good stuff about it, but its not an iPhone"

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.

Basically, the iPad has a better screen. On every other metric it loses badly. And yes, I do not consider a metal back as a plus.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Vincent9756:
I like the Samsung material too, and if you don't want to watch videos, then the iPad 3 resolution is probably a great thing.

As crazy as this sounds, I probably don't *ever* want all that resolution. It's almost double (compared to the Note). 2048x1536 is bad for HD videos. This is what I mean:

At 2048x1536, in order to display a 720p video (full screen) the video needs to be enlarged (almost double it's original size). That process almost always results in a quality loss (the video loses clarity and looks very soft). I have a 27" monitor on my desktop (1980x1200). It doesn't look as good as displaying the video at its original size. Of course I've never seen the result on a 10" display, maybe it's not as obvious or noticeable. I'm guessing it still looks better at 1280x800.

I don't know. Maybe HD videos would look good, maybe they wouldn't. For right now, I'm very happy with 1280x800. Everything looks great to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Face it. The only time you really need the retina display resolution is if you want to read webpages on portrait overview where the fonts are tiny. If you watch in landscape overview the fonts are plenty big to be crystal clear.

But again, in every other metric SGN10.1 blows iPad3 away. Let me put it this way. SGN10.1 can do everything iPad does but iPad can't do everything SGN10.1 does.

I just can't wait for iPad tries to copy the Note features so Samsung can sue them into oblivion. I mean, can you believe Apple has the balls to sue to stop the sale of the SGN10.1? I mean the devices are not even remotely alike.

I hear Eve is suing Apple over their logo.

I just returned the TF700T at my local BB. Had been planning to do a side-by-side video but couldn't find time to do it.

I'm a busy person (or so I believe) and don't have much time to spare just getting a device to work as it should. The Infinity had started acting like the Prime and was in danger of meeting my brick wall at 40MPH. For it's (and my wallet's) sake I just returned it.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 hasn't failed me from day 1. The FHD I can learn to miss. But, for me, performance is a factor more than looks.

One measure to those still on the fence between the two - read both devices' General Forum here in XDA.

It seems you'll see more about issues in the TF700 forum. While you see more about device usage here in the Note 10.1 forum.

The hardware issues of the TF700T WILL NOT be resolved by JB. Don't hold out hope for that to happen.

With the Note, most are enjoying what they have now. On the TF700, a lot are waiting for JB to make it work better.

Enjoy the Galaxy Note 10.1 and rest assured you have a device that works better.

With the TF700, beauty is only skin deep.

...the Asus door is so broken it wouldn't even hurt my butt if it hit me on the way out! :)

The Apple guys have truly lost their minds.

If Samsung sues Apple, I will send a donation (to Sammy). I'd like to help!

I am amazed with my Note! It is so worth buying. I am glad that I didn't buy the N7, and

saved money for the Note.

I send my donations in advance, by buying their fantastic new tablets :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kikoushi:
New User!

It's been two days since I had my note 10.1. So far, the only complaint I have is the resolution actually. I've never used the new ipad, but my phone has a high dpi, so my eyes can definitely distinguish pixelated texts but overall image and screen quality is very nice.

Sup-par screen resolution but high screen quality, I may say. Overall, even though I can see the "pixels", I'm not in the least bit uncomfortable.

S-pen is great, S-note is awesome. I've bought Note 10.1 for mostly watching video lectures and taking notes at the same time. And I'm glad to say that it works better than I expected. Well done Sammy!

Sammy has won me over. I will be the first one to get in line to get a FHD Note 10.1 II with more advanced S-pen along with goodies, and that will be my ultimate tablet. -Dont care about W8, btw.=)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xopher.hunter:
Edit: how did i get here
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaydubbbbs:
I think that many people would not mind higher resolution, myself included. However, the trade off is battery life and quickness. Once the exynos 5250 is implemented that's when I expect Samsung to bump the resolution. This was my first tablet, for me, the forbidden fruit was never an option, I know the screen is great I mean Samsung made it :good:, but I love the versatility of the note. And, it was refreshing to see made in Korea instead of made in China. Sorry China you make enough junk. I wonder how many others waited for the note 10.1 to give their tablet virginity to, I suspect there are a few of us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Ever since it was found out that the note was easy to repair i.e. easy to disasemble, ive been imagining a manufacturer hopefully samsung to bring out a higher resolution display componant, because i gotta agree, the only thing im not thrilled with, is the display, although it more then meets its purpose, everything else is good, and coming from the tf201, with its performance issues, i cant say what a relief it is to have working unit out of the box.

When the tf201 first came out, there were a few people who stated that they had'nt touched their computer since purchasing the prime, because the prime did such a good job with alot of things they normally did on their computers (yes, i know it does'nt do EVERYTHING).

It wasnt for me, and only after having the note did i realise with out a doubt, why, the note just works............
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tsnstuff:
Today is technically my 4th day with the tablet. I've been testing it to see if it can replace my ipad. I hated everything about the Apple vs Samsung case and I would like to replace it.

Day 1 I hated this tablet. It felt very sluggish. Looking at the Twitter and Facebook applications I was reminded why I went to the iPad to begin with. As much as I love Android, I still think the iPad is very much ahead when it comes to Applications.

Day 2, my first full day with it. Played more with it, cleaned up the home screens and made them more how I like them. Started doing some performance tests between my iPad, Nexus 7 and the Note. Turns out that the websites that were slow on the note were also slow on all of those. Looked up alternatives for Facebook and Twitter applications that work fine.

Day 3, my first day at work with it. Sadly I didn't really have any meetings where I could take notes, but a bunch of people did try it out and really liked the pen and the stereo speakers. One guy was like "why do all tablets have speakers on the back?? It makes no sense!!". I decided that even though I would miss some of the applications I hardly ever use on the ipad (GarageBand, iMovie) and I would certainly pray that eventually we get good versions of Facebook, twitter and spotify, the Note would indeed make the things that I do the most better. Things like watching youtube videos, taking notes, web browsing (although I use chrome so that stays the same), importing pictures from my Microsd card and things like sharing files.

By the end of Day 3 I decided I would indeed get rid of my iPad. But just to be sure, I just put it away, figured if I'm going to give the note a real good test I should just not use the iPad at all.

Day 4. That's today. Still 7AM so I can't really say much. I have been wondering if I even have to sell the iPad, but what am I going to do with 3 tablets? I'm not selling my Nexus 7!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhd1802:
yep, this will be a first for me and its been a long wait. it was between the note 10.1 or transformer prime, but a pen is alot more useful than a keyboard so the note won.

eta for my dark grey 32gb is 19th october!!!!! been put back a month :crying:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Once they get the multi window thing perfected in the JB release this tablet will have no peer. Functionality of a Windows desktop with the flexibility of Android at hundreds less.

All the Ipad has over this is a better screen. There are 20 things this tablet does ipad cant touch.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Heres my analogy.

The iPad3 is like the beautiful stupid girl. At first all you can think about is how hot she is, but after a while, her complete inability hold an intelligent conversation gets on your nerves.

The SGN10.1 is like the really cute girl with the great personality. Maybe she isnt a super model but she is still attractive and you can talk to her for hours and not get bored.

You might want or sleep with the iPad3 but you want to marry the SGN10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
These comments pretty much sum it up. The Note is pretty much bullet proof. From previous postings, there are quite a few here that stress their tablets. Either by using them on the road where you can't control the conditions or pushing them to do multiple things simultaneously. Samsung used the best components available for the Note's various parts and with their scale and importance to Google/Android have 90 developers stationed outside Google HQ that do nothing but tune Android for Samsung h/w in collaboration with Google. The end result is something that just "works." Every time and exactly the same way each time. When you're using your tablet to get things done that consistency and reliability can mean more than an aluminum back plate and higher res display. At $499 with a 1280x800 display the Note is without question priced at the top-end of Android tablets. For someone who uses their tablet at home 90% of the time primarily for consumption and doesn't need a lot of concurrent functions the TF700 with more memory and a higher res display may be a fine choice for the same price. But comparing the two under pressure there really is no comparison. And JB, Key Lime Pie, and whatever comes after that isn’t going to turn second-tier components in to first-tier no matter how hard someone wishes it so.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Vincent9756:
My first too! Before I found the Note, I was very disappointed because I didn't want any of the other tablets. Too many build quality problems. Didn't want the forbidden fruit!

Happy now!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jedah:
Tablet virgin here, too. I was doing just fine w/ my laptop and smartphone until I tried out the S-pen on this tablet. I tried the original Note, and wasn't impressed, but the quad core Exynos and ICS make all the difference in the world. The possibility of drawing on the go w/o having to drag my laptop AND Intuos sealed the deal for me. The JB update w/ all the new mini apps will be even better.

That said, I wish/hope developers of art software start throwing more support behind this thing. The stuff I've tried so far (PS Touch, S-Note, Layer Paint and TV Paint) are decent, but there is definitely alot of room for improvement.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Vincent9756:
That would be awesome! I hope they win. Maybe they could use a rotten apple or an apple with a lot of worms as the new logo.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Ironically, the one to bring Apple down may be the smallest fish in the pond. HTC bought a bunch of patents from ADC Telecommunications in April 2011 for $75 million which is chump change. Apple asked the court to rule that the patents are invalid because HTC purchased them just to aggressively use them in court. Judge Thomas Pender shot down that argument quickly and clearly. He also said "clear and convincing means something to me," speaking about the legalities of determining whether a patent should or shouldn't have been issued. And added "I have to be pretty darn certain a U.S. patent is invalid." So things don't look good for Apple in that case.

Additionally, Samsung holds 30% of worldwide LTE patents. The second the iP5 is released I'm sure they'll both file suit and seek an immediate injunction. So Apple can **** around with the light weight stuff like pinch-to-zoom and scroll bounce but now that LTE's the big thing they're totally screwed as almost every technology they need is patented to the hilt by others. You can work around specific UI features; you can't work around the LTE infrastructure necessary to connect a device to a network. I guess Steve Jobs wasn't thinking very far ahead with his thermonuclear remarks. You reap what you sew. ;)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dousan:
I'm about to take the plunge (within the next two weeks or so) and want to know if:

1. ad hoc wi-fi hotspot connection is doable on the Note 10.1 f.ex from an IPhone or a Nokia N9? (I tried it from a 4S to my N9 wich I dualboot android on -ICS - wich didn't work, none of the 3, though it did detect the 4S on option 1 and 3, but couldn't obtain a ip address).

2. Is it doable to do Bluetooth internet tethering from an IPhone to the Note 10.1?

3. Is it doable to do usb internet tethering from an IPhone to the Note 10.1?

I'm asking because I'm in doubt wether I should buy a Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi/3G?

Dousan...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
While it won't win any beauty contests, Samsung launched the i700 in 2004. It's got a touch screen interface and is mostly rectangular.

HTC launched the XV6700 in 2006. It's got a touch screen interface and is mostly rectangular.

With or without the iPhone, as display and other technologies advanced, it's logical to assume that design and practicality would have lead us to where we currently are.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Figure ID post here vs a new thread. I'm very tempted to buy a note 10.1 . I have had the a500 since launch and its been nice . I have a n7000 and love it.

I played with a note 10.1 at BB for only a couple mins ago I don't have much of an idea of its uses. My only predicament is the note or a new laptop. My current laptop is an old latitude d500 I only use for Odin and phone crap like adb etc... otherwise its primary partition is Ubuntu for web and stuff so it suffices I guess .

Anybody here find they use they're laptop less for productivity since they're purchase ?

Lastly 32gb or 16 ... to save 50 bucks or not ...

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GodofGodz:
Got mine last weekend...

What can i say, Bloody awesome..

I've had an Acer500 previously and this 10.1 kicks arse in terms of video+weight.

Watching youtube in HD.. Just amazing, playing games, WoW....

Mind you, i mainly use it for reading comics, mags and watching 720 or 1080 tv series+movies and of course games..

I use these Apps

Comicrack

Mx video player pro

Am still getting used to the spen and photoshop.. Eventually I'll get there.

Now now for the people complaining about resolution, or not good for reading... I mean did you guys ever consider going to settings and changing font size, hehehehe one thing compare with the acer500 with this 10.1 i can change fonts+size. With the acer500 only the size..

I did pay $572 from JB HiFi here in Sydney for the standard 16G WiFi. There's no need to pay the extra $300 for 3G 32G.. Most of us have mobile phones so i use Teethering to go on the net with it with my trusty I9000.

I cant wait to run Jelly Bean when its released.... But definately worth buying people...

Now i need to go to MSY and get a 32G sandisk microsdhc for $28...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nakel:
I can't tell you about tethering with an Iphone, but I tether my Note 10.1 to my Samsung Skyrocket and it works flawlessly. For me, the extra for the 3G version would be a waste of money. Plus, my Skyrocket is LTE, so when I'm in an LTE area tethering is WAY faster than if I had the 3G version... I have only tethered via WiFi. I have no idea how well the USB or BT tethering works.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nimel:
I'loving it!

I'm loving it! I love to draw, and although i'm not an artist, layerpaint has allowed me to have much fun with my schetches. And I also love to study pdf articles and ebooks, highlighting them using Repligo reader, and the spen gives me the most pleasant sensation while highlighting and annotating pdfs, its better than on paper!. The wifi is awesome and I'm looking forward to learn how to share my i9000 3g using tethering. I cannot believe people are saying that the screen is bad, I love it!

So far I love it!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dousan:
My reason for asking is that Android (stock) does not do ad hoc tethering, so I hoped that Sammy had implemented it in the Note 10.1.

Android to Android works fine when setting up a hotspot as it doesn't use ad hoc connection.

I'm probably be buying the Wi-Fi as I'm mostly home and I'm gonna use it for drawing (foremost).

If anyone can test with an IPhone if any of the 3 options it gives for tethering works with the Note 10.1 that would be great :)

Anyway thanks for your answer.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] leepriestenator:
I have been eyeing this device ever since I first heard the first rumor about a bigger and badder Note 5.3.

I was in love with the concept even before it became reality. Anyways I took the opportunity to check it out and there are just a few things that are holding me back from picking it up now. Maybe you guys can help out.

1) Build Quality - Quite a lot of moolah for so much plastic but can be overlooked. I'm used to HTC and they've spoilt me rotten with fantastic designs and awesome build qualities. That was my only qualm when switching brands from HTC to Samsung with the Note 5.3 but in every other way, clearly Samsung is way ahead. Just wish they'd start putting out some solid, non-plasticky devices out there. Besides, who really cares about carrying around the lightest device? Despite being such a big phone, the Note feels like it doesn't exist in my palms. Way too thin. I need, and i'm sure others agree that we need some curves and something that just fits well and doesn't seem like we're holding a feather. Rant over... moving on.

2) Multi-Screen Apps

That's what I was waiting for. Notes, Email, Browsing and Videos. That sums up my entire usage on a PC, phone, tablet and an intelligent frigde when it becomes available in the future!

My problem is that the GMAIL app isn't part of the Multi-screen app arsenal. My corporate email is hosted with Google and that is a must have for me (Email, Contacts and Calendar). Any rumors if they will ever bring that app to the Multi-Screen environment?

3) No NFC - What is Samsung thinking... really?

4) Ok I can't think of anything else! That's it. Those are my issues with this device... lol... some list huh?

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

I know most of you here have a Wi-Fi only model, so for those of you that do have the 3G edition, how long does one charge last you?

Would like to get some input on the battery usage for the Wi-Fi unit too.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] :
On JB Multitasking has completely changed to what it was. The way its set up on the Jelly Bean rom I would think its possible for all apps to work that way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaydubbbbs:
It seems like a lot of people are hung up on this,"build quality" issue with the note 10.1. For me, build quality means did they use premium components, is it well put together, does it slowly fall apart with use. Things like that. I actually like the plastic, call me cheap, but it keeps the weight down and for me, feel it is less susceptible to breakage in a fall. But, I'm not doing any test drops:laugh: Also, I'm sure the plastic is better for signal reception. Lastly, this thing runs so well, and judging by how so many owners love it, mines not the only glitch free one. Heck, I applied the much maligned update and my quadrant score went up from 5227 to 5450 . Beauty is only skin deep some times, but some prefer brains. Just my two cents on the issue
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Why does a rock hard metal case = "build quality"? Would I rather hold soft comfortable plastic in my hands for hours or a hard chunk of metal? Why is it considered a bad think that the back has a little give in it? Do you plan on standing on your tablet to change light bulbs? I consider the softer back with a bit if give a feature, not a fault. And face it, anyone in their right minds puts their tablet in a case anyway so who cares?

Regardless, the point is moot. The SGN10.1 is becoming so popular you are likely to not be able to find one to buy without getting on a backorder list anyway. If you aren't sure about it, please don't buy it and leave one more for someone who has no doubt.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ngocdao:
lol build quality ....

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Yep. Let's drop an iPad3 and a SGN10.1 and see which one survives the fall. Then we can talk about build quality.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] leepriestenator:
No reason for anyone to get their panties in a twist. I love the device too and I was just asking for some of your insights amd sharing mine.

About the build quality; well I like things that have a more premium feel to them. Anyone comparing the way this device feels to say an HTC or (I hate to say this) an iPad obviously can tell the difference in quality. The Note 10.1 is already out and there isn't anything anyone can do about it but it seems unreal when anyone says they prefer this "housing quality" to something that the competition is offering that is clearly much better. I'm not saying the plastic they've used is bad; I'm just saying it doesn't come off as premium considering it is such a fantastic device.

I see a lot of fanboism around here when anyone has the smallest opinion of the device that is not in favor of it. Constructive criticism is what makes things better, so I'd like to think that we are all more mature than your average Apple product owners and that we are more objective about these things rather than exhibiting blatant fanboism that belongs at the Apple forums.

I hope we can drop the arguing and get back on point here.

Cheers
