So I've debating switching up to the 32gb version. When I got my note, they only had 16gb in stock. They said to check on Tues. And Thurs as that's when they get in new shipments. So I called today to see if 32gb came in yet. The girl checks her computer and she tells me the 32gb version has actually been deleted from their system. Meaning they will not carry it. I guess they will only carry 16gb version.

Has anyone actually purchased a 32gb from Bestbuy? Or has anyone heard anything like I described? Strange that it would be deleted since its so new. I'm skeptical that she is correct. If she is right, I now have to decide whether I keep the 16gb version or go get my money back. Then find another brick & mortar store that sells the 32gb. I like BB return policy though. Which states I have 30 days to exchange or get a refund if I wish. I paid in cash so I'd want a cash refund. Store credit wouldn't be any good if they never plan to carry 32gb.

What other B&M stores are carrying the 32gb note 10.1?

8/24 UPDATE:

Well I came to the conclusion that 16gb wasn't enough. So I just returned my 16gb to best buy and had them order me the 32gb version. Its deep gray. I really wish they had the white one in that size. They only had gray. The difference I had to pay for uprade in storage space was $52. It will arrive by 8/30 to that best buy location. Didn't want to take any chances having it delivered to my residence and the delivery people leave it sitting outside my door..lol

I got tired of seeing my storage space decrease fast and I haven't even really begun to install everything I want. Games take up the most room. Nova3 alone is almost 2gb. I have alot of great games THST I paid for already that I want to install. Like Broken Sword for example. So me getting 32gb will give me more than enough room to store my games and movies I download. I can easily fill up the 32gb also but at least I have more to work with initially. 16gb out the box equates to only 11gb storage left to use. Didn't want to have to resort to deleting stuff constantly to make room. Then I eventually want to root and flash device. So the backup will take some space also. I'm managing my 16gb Nexus 7 well but I don't need so much installed on it. As its my more portable device and only needs the best and essential apps.

Well my wait begins. I'm posting this from my Nexus 7. I miss the Note 10.1 already :( lol. I'm ready for 8/30 to hurry up and get here. It'll be here either next wed. Or before. Plenty of time to keep reading up on things and to find a good case.

So does this mean you are giving up on the infinity? Not trying to be a ball buster, actually value your opinion. You have been ASUS biggest supporter when they needed one and now it looks like you are going to the dark side ( or the bright side depending on how you look at it). I trully cannot decide if I should keep my infinity or not. I have definitively said I was keeping the infinity twice and everyday I wonder if I am doing the right thing, especially as I hear how JB is just a big a mess on the 300t as all the prime issues.

So, what is your call? Is the Note the way to go and does the screen resolution really make a difference?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Why pay 50 bucks more for a 32 when you can buy a 32 GB sdcard for under 50 bucks and have 48?

Sent from my awesome Note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Because you can't store installed app data on sdcard anymore. On older android versions you could but no longer. So it's not like if I have 0 internal memory left and 32gb SD card, I'd be able to install a 1gb+ game. It won't let you install it into microsd card. So once you run out of internal memory on tablet, you can no longer install apps and games unless you delete other stuff you have on internal memory.

I know I can store my movies and such on memory card, but I cant install new apps and games on tablet once internal memory is used. It won't matter if i have 32gb sdcaRd :
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] EmerikL:
They won't sell the 32GB instores for some reason, only the 16GB. You can purchase it from their website. Yeah I know, its not the same, and not ideal.

Here is a list of retail outlets that Samsung said was going to carry it the 10.1.

Electronics Expo

HH Gregg

Fry's Electronic

Give one of those a try.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jjflemin:
I ordered a 32GB from Best Buy online. They charged me the correct amount and it should be here tomorrow. I just checked and they are sold out of the 32GB online. Not sure if it is gone for good though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
.I'M in the testing phase of this tablet ATM. I was impressed by the pen feature plus wanted to see exynos 4 quad core performs. As it's CPU and gpu is more powerful than tegra3. Tegra3 still a great Social btw ;) so I already know how the infinity would be. Basically a more powerful prime with 1080P screen. So I said why not test out the note first. Since I bought it from BB, I have 30 days to try it out. If I DONT like it I can always get a refund or exchange for infinity pad.

As for which I would recommend, that's depends on what matters most to you. If you bought your infinity from BB, try out the Note 10.1. If you don't like it, take it back and get another infinity. I do know jb is coming for infinity. I would pay those threads much mind on how its performing on the 300. I'm sure jb is performing much better than previous ICS version. As jb on my nexus 7 is flawless. Which also is a tegra3 tablet. I have seen the threads on different issues with infinity like the I/o. Although update improved it.it didn't completely solve it. I can only go off what I read on their forums since I don't own an infinity. Or at least, possibly, not yet ;)

How is your device performing? If it performs fine, you just may be suffering from wanting the newest latest tech..lol. if you having issues, give the Note 10.1 a try. IVE been very impressed with its build, performance,and display. No complaints and not a single ANR since I had it. This processor is very fast and battery life is great on this. This device will get better battery life than infinity pad. Based on what I read people reporting on infinity battery life. As for will the display resolution difference be a factor, I doubt it. Although this has the same resolution as prime, this tablet display looks slot better. The color reproduction and other stuff looks so much better. So for me, it looks good enough. It's a great display and makes the games look better. I noticed the difference playing nova3. The images and everything pop out more. It is a 720P display. Which is HD. Just not full HD(1080P). I've seen alot of people here saying they exchanged their infinity pad and ipad3 for this device and hardly notice difference in resolution. They were impressed with display.

I still support Asus as my experience with them was good. Which is why I bought a Google/Asus Nexus 7. Very impressive device also. So just because I have a note 10.1, doesn't mean I switched sides. Just testing the waters. Plus I always heard Samsung being thrown around as good quality. So I wanted to see for myself how it performs. Which admittedly, performs very well. Exceeds my expectations on it so far. I forgot to add, this tablet has the best stereo speakers on any tablet. Sound is amazing on this. True stereo separation, bigger speakers,and Wolfson audio equate to very rich, loud, and impressive sound coming from this tablet.

Final verdict: try it out. If you don't like it or not impressed, just return it and get another infinity pad. Nothing wrong with testing out other devices.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Thanks.very strange why they won't sell those in stores. Ill see how my memory goes during this 30 day refund period. I have alot of games previously purchased THST I'd love to install and try out on this display with stereo speakers. These more intense games now take up to 1-2gb of storage space. So it'll take no time to Max out 16gb. I remwber I was running low on space with my 32gb prime..lol. some games I can't install on this because they are tegra3 games.

Out of the box, a 16gb note 10.1 only has 11gb of free storage left. Even now I only have 7-8gb free storage left. I haven't even scratched the surface of all the apps n games I want to install on here...lmao.

Thanks again for the list.

Good to know. Thanks. Can I get the best buy store to order it from their online site for me, if online shows it in stock? Like if they don't have it in store, they can order it from their online store instead.

Edit: they still sold out online and shows not available for store pickup. Well I have 20 something days to decide if ill need more internal space(for games & apps) or not.

I got my 32 at Fry's yesterday. Only a 15 day return policy, though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ilostmypistons:
I just walked out of BB and they told me I could have the 32 in 3/5days

If I trade my 16 in on a 32 it will be the fifth different Tab I walked out of BB in three weeks.

I love that place
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
So your brick & mortar location said they are getting them in stock?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:
I got my 32gb online. They do not plan on carrying this in the store from what i was told, but you should be able to get it online just fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Yeah, online is sold out right now. Plus it seems only the dark grey is in 32gb. I'd love to switch up to a white 32gb. The white looks very nice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:
The way it seems is that they only made 32 gb grey. I didn't see the white anywhere.

Try using

www.nowinstock.net

Exact note page is

http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/samsung/

That site is great for tracking when it comes in stock and you can set up email/mobile alerts. This is how I ordered mine on day one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nakel:
Good to know... I'm loving my note but thinking of returning it for the 32GB version. BB website doesn't say back-ordered, it says sold out. I'm wondering if maybe they won't get it back online again??? I'd prefer getting it at BB because of the service/return policy and proximity of the store to me, but if they don't carry it Fry's will get the sale.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Wow, just checked Fry's return policy. It's changed, and not or the better:

They never used to have a restocking fee. BB still doesn't...

I'm considering returning my 16gb Note for a 32gb one as well. Same concerns about the app data. I draw a lot and could see how I might run out of space if I'm not careful. Also, this Note I have seems perfect so I'm doubtful of getting another great one :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nakel:

Op updated. Best buy has 32gb available online again. Better hurt up if you want one. They sell out fast. Check OP.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Itchiee:
I did the same... I wasn't happy with only 16gb for main storage.

We'll finally be reunited this weekend!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] twospirits:
I'm curious about one thing as I read this thread. With folks returning their 16GB Notes for the 32GB version, would it be safe to say that Best Buy would have to resell the returned ones at a much lower discount? And if so, how does one find out where or what the process would be to obtain one.

Edit: nevermind, I found my answer. Seems to be about 50 bucks cheaper depending on the store.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rap6388:
32 on the way!!

After having this for the last few days I know for sure this is the tab I want so I am returning my 16 GB for 32. I worked a deal with best buy to order the 32BG for me and then do the exchange when it comes in. I had to put the 32GB on my credit card and then we will do the swap, store credit, rebuy, refund my credit card dance when it comes in. Double Triple checked that this was going to be ok and as long as I had the store order it and ship to store they assured me no problem. Win/Win. I get a new 32 GB next week and do not have to be without a tablet for the next few days.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I thought of doing something similar. But I paid for the original 16gb in cash. I thought of keeping it and just paying for the 32gb one online. Then once the 32gb one arrives, I'd return the 16gb. But best buy told me any refunds over $429(paid w/cash) will have to be in a check mailed out to me. Didn't feel like waiting who knows how long for them to mail my money. Plus it would eliminate any screw up by them. Lol.

At least I have my Nexus 7 to hold me down till then. Its only a few days wait then ill have my new device. I just wanted to hurry up and get it out the way because those 32gb ones be going out of stock fast online. The best part is my 30 refund policy resets once it arrives. Plus the girl said I have 30 days to add on that $99 Accidental plan if I choose.

Has any best buy buyers here added the ADH plan? It seems like alot to pay for initially but could come in handy. You never know what could happen. Even if I break it accidentally, it would be covered and I get a free replacement device. I'm seriously considering it for the long run. I normally take great care of my devices but my 2yr. Old loves to play with them also. I let her use my Ipad but other devices catch her attention if I'm using them. She will pick up my Ipad and throw it on the ground/carpet ...lmfao THST ipad1 is built like a tank. She has banged remotes on the screen, thrown it, spilled milk on the screen, and it still works fine. I have it in a gel case. She destroyed my old targus trus hard leather case it use to be in..lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sonofdays:
Why in Store?

Can somebody please tell me why you're all buying from Best Buy and not Amazon? Especially if they say you have to wait a few days for it to arrive anyway for the 32GB version, why not buy online and not pay ~$50 in tax??

I believe you are all intelligent people so there must be a reason you've not avoiding the tax which pays for the 32GB upgrade itself.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nefariouss:
I think most people are buying from BB due to the fact they cover manufactuers warranty for a year. After the prime fiasco its a smart move.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nakel:
In many states, you have to pay the sales tax with Amazon. For instance, here in Washington State, Amazon charges a sales tax...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Ding ding ding! EXACTLY..lol if anything goes does with this device, ill be in that best buy crowd now ;) luckily I was able to get a refund anyways for my prime although I didn't get it from best buy.

I didn't know Amazon doesn't charge tax in alot of places. I wonder if they do in VA. So ill know for future reference or I might buy a case or something from them.

Plus I didn't pay $50 in sales tax from BB. It was more like half of that. Like $26 or 27 dollars. Even when I upgraded to 32gb.

Beware of Electronics-expo They are advertising the Samsung Note 10.1 32gb Gray for $548.00 plus Tx with only 1 gb of ram Double check before buying . That's what they are advertising here in NJ.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sonofdays:
Is that different from the 12 month parts and labor warranty that Samsung offers? I just registered my Note 10.1 has it shows that I have a full year.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
If you mean the ADH(accidental warranty) then yes, its different. Costs $99 for one year or cheaper rate for 2 years. But if anything happens, caused by you or accident, its covered and you get a free replacement device. For ex. You drop and screen breaks or cracks, its covered. Take it to best buy ANd they'll replace it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] twospirits:
usually I avoid such extended warranties, but I think I just may get one when I get the Note 10.1.

but now the question remains from where and which warranty. Reading up on articles comparing both it seems that Square Trade is a bit better, but I'm still need to do more research before finally settling on one .

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Man, Best buy pissing me off..lol my device was supposed to be delivered to the store "By" the 30th. Been checking all day on it. Now, when I just called, she said based on tracking, it shows it won't be here till Tuesday. I placed this order last Friday morning at best buy store. Last time the girl said it was in California still or whatever. That was like Monday or Tuesday. I know it doesn't take more than a whole business week and some days for this device to be delivered to thier store. Its almost $600 dollars total(like 575 or so) THST I payed for this 32gb. The longer they take, the more Im considering getting my money back. I've already just received my replacement Nexus7 so I've gotten back use to using it again. If i get a refund, since I payed cash and it exceeds their cash refund amount, I'd have to wait 3-5 days for a refund check to be mailed to me. I know this device better not have any defects ..lol.

Its got me thinking I could've been testing out an infinity pad all this time ;) rant over..just getting impatient waiting on my new tech device.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] EmerikL:
So did you finally get the 32gb from best buy?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Yep..it arrived like an hour ago or so. I was already heading up there to cancel order becaise they told me it still didnt arrive. I got tired of the waiting and b.s. delivery dates. So while im in car, i get email saying its ready for pickup..lmao so i have it now amd setti g everything up on it again.

I had a notification for update. Pressed it and nothing happened. I checked manually and it tells me no update available. I know my 16gb had an immediafe jpdate to Android 4.1.1, i believe. I know it updated.

So what version are ofher usa 32gb note owners on? Mines show 4.04. Am i supposed to be on 4.1.1 also, like my 16gb one was? Im hoping its just samsung servers busy or something. Id hate to have device that cant get or install OTA properly. If so its goimg back..lol Everything else is good so far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I'm glad you're staying. And yes, only the 16GB got 4.1.1. ;) If the OTA doesn't cycle back by itself just connect via Kies and you should be able to get it. If you haven't, you should install Kies anyway. It installs the Windows drivers for MTP etc. Good luck with the new(er) one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
I have a 16gb note. But i am still on 4.0.4!

System shows no update either... how to update via kies?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
He was teasing. All we know about 4.1.1 (JB) is what Samsung said at IFA and that is "very soon."
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
Oops...

Bit i think tjere was a software update for note 10.1. I never got any update notification (got my note 4 days back)... that's why i fell for the joke.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I actually wasn't teasing..lmao. oops my fault. I made a mistake. Just realized that's jellybean firmware I posted.

Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up. Made a mistake :) mixed it up with my nexus 7. I'm spoiled by how well JB runs on my N7.

On another note, no pun intended, infinity pad "supposedly" got JB update. Crazy thing is, only one person got it..lol. he posted screenshots and video proof and everything. So weird how only one person recieved it in the course of several hours. I hope Samsung gets it this week. If they release now, they could still beat Asus to the punch since only one person has it..lol.

I don't know if you saw my post in Infinity forum but I was so close to canceling this order and trying out infinity pad. At the 11th hour, on the way to BB to cancel, my phone gets email saying my 32gb has arrived. Figures..lol. I do love the white version but this black 32gb doesn't look bad also. It seemed to be wrapped in plastic differently than my previous one. I left the plastic on the back for now. Will serve as a cheap scratch protector until it gets to dingy looking or I take it off. I also wish THST screen protector didn't have all those words all over it. Could've made a good screen protector.

Device so far is solid. I think its about fully charged now. Time to finish installing all my apps again. Hopefully for the last time. Now I got plenty of space(32gb) for everything I need.

Hi everyone,

When I change my rom from AT&T to any other rom, ( ICS ) my phone takes forever to switch to LTE. from HSPA

When I loose LTE single and it goes back to HSPA then it takes for ever to switch back. I live in the DC area in a strong lte area.

When I re installed the stock rom from AT&T tar file it doesn't take any time to switch over.

I have tried all the radios from ATT to Rogers radios and nothing, all of them are slow to switch.

I don't mind the stock rom from AT&T but next month I am going oversea for a few weeks and I want to buy a sims card there.

I am going to buy the unlock code for my phone. Will it switch over or do I need to change the radio to and unlocked on from Rogers. If I change the radio now I am afraid of the same problem above.
