hmm -> http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/12/pod-touch-hands-on-2012-video/

I actually think it's a pretty sweet looking device.. :eek: I think i will get it just to see what this iOS is about (since i've never owned an iOS device before). They say it'll get the iPhone 4s' processor, which is (AFAIK) is very powerful and is (much) more powerful than what Samsung Galaxy players have. No way i'm parting with my Galaxy Players though :o (In fact am planning to get the new 5.8 as well). Pitty this iPod Touch can't be upgraded to Android.. and Apple devices have crappy batteries (except iPads, iPhone 4S has a 950MAh battery, which is a joke!)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yup, well tell me what you think.

My dad has an iPad, and here are the biggest things that bug me about iOS: first and foremost, WHY THE HECK ARE ALL THE APP SETTINGS PUT INTO THE SYSTEM SETTINGS!? It just makes no sense! When I want to change the settings of an app, I should find the settings in the app, NOT have to dig around in the system settings! Another thing that is super annoying is the lack of a common back button like android. The unisearch is also junk compared to android's, for example no search suggestions and no customizing searchable items! Another HUGE handicap is no file browser (yes you can jail break, but my dad won't, and frankly you shouldn't have to!). I think this feature is one that truly shows how much more open and PC-like android is! The list goes on, but these are the ones always giving me a headache.

If you guys search YouTube for galaxy player 5.8, you'll see the new device, hands on, by some Russian reviewer.

I would post a link, but I'm on my phone at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Thanks for the tip. The fellow reviewing the device did a side-by-side with the S III, and the disparity in screen quality in terms of clarity and contrast was painstakingly obvious. You could see that every color on the spectrum was not as lush on the Player 5.8 compared to the S III.

Seeing as how the price I mentioned a few posts ago seems to be official, I am having reservations about buying the device, after all.

My plan of action:

By the time I could feasibly go to Seoul, or by the time the device would potentially be released in the U.S., should it be released at all, the Galaxy Note 2 will have been released. Seeing as how the Note 2 will be full HD, have a much better screen, and be packed with many more features, I think I am just going to wait for a Note 2 and hang on to my current Player 5.0 and hope that developers continue to port things to it.

Thoughts? Ideas?

By the way, here is the link for that YouTube video:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] euphoriaflow:
I think that's a fine plan of action, Note 2 would most definitely be better.

If the new Player has a reasonable enough price, I might consider it, however, if it is too expensive, I'll probably just go with a 16 GB Nexus 7, since 8 GB is certainly not enough for me, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
That all depends on what you consider reasonable. I have found prices listing the 16GB at $400 and the 32GB at $425.

After looking at the page in question, I can tell you that there is no explicit mention of hands-free in that sentence, nor any other page. The page says that you should not connect a mono speaker headset to the device or sound may fail to come out. There is no mention of a hands-free profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
yes, i watched this review the day it came out and can tell you that it's hopeless, the guy only compared the device to his SIII and mentioned the official specs. As far as the screen is concerned, the difference was expected i'm pretty sure the screen in the new 5.8 would be very similar in quality to that in 5.0, so if you are happy with your 5.0 screen you will be with the new screen as well. The AMOLED screens, having infinite contrast do look much brighter comparing to pretty much any screen technology, but you have to pay for it. The best thing about Galaxy Players (for me) is that they are NOT phones if you want a phone, the new Note 2 will have an awesome screen, no pentile matrix and it will certainly have huge development going on for it.

I'm sure if the new Galaxy Player 5.8 gets released in the west it will have a lower price tag (the Korean YP-GB70D i believe is considerably more expensive than the 5.0) or otherwise it won't sell. In any case, my personal backup plan is the new Amazon Kindle Fire HD - Dual-core Processor 1.5GHz; 8.9-inch display with crazy Full HD resolution!!! (1,920 x 1,080). The base configuration, the Wi-Fi-only version with 16GB of internal storage, will cost US$299 the 32GB Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is priced at US$369. The 4G/LTE version with 32GB storage will be US$499.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joemhewitt:
Looks nice. It might upgrade my current yp-g70 it it's cheap AND gets released in the UK
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I'm still debating with myself as to whether or not this device is worth upgrading to; considering the specifications on it. Although it was released just days ago, from today (9/14/12), it already has very obsolete and underperforming technology within it.

As for a potential UK release, or international release for that matter, that remains to be seen.

With regards to pricing, I would encourage future posters to PLEASE READ POSTS BELOW FOR DEVICE PRICING! CHANCES ARE THAT SOMEONE HAS ALREADY MENTIONED YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS BEFORE. I am getting tired of continually needing to rewrite prices on every post when I have already written them twice, or three times, below.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
So, I went back and took a look in the manual at page 121. (When I replied to you before, I was more or less quoting from memory, and the page I was quoting from was the troubleshooting page. :eek:) On page 121, however, I looked at the line you mentioned and found something that really piqued my interest! It said -- and I am giving you my translation, not Google's --

블루투스 기능을 지원하는 스테레오 헤드셋을 연결해 음악을 듣거나, 휴대전화 또는 외부 기기를 연결해 데이타를 주고 받을 수 있습니다 --

By connecting a headset supported by the Bluetooth function, it is possible to listen to music wirelessly or one can connect to a cell phone, or external device, and transfer data back and forth.

The latter half of that sentence is quite ambiguous with regards to functionality of connecting to a phone or external device. :mad:

However, I did a search in Korean within the PDF (핸즈프리 = Hands-Free) and found highly unfavorable results. In the continued explanation of the Bluetooth features AND the troubleshooting section, it said that Mono (mono speaker) headsets are not supported by Bluetooth.

Here are my translations of what I mentioned above:

1.

From the Bluetooth explanation (cont.) page #123:

블루투스 인증을 받은 스테레오 헤드셋인지 확인하세요. 모노 핸즈프리 헤드셋은 지원되지 않습니다.​

Please make sure that you are using a certified stereo Bluetooth headset.. Mono Bluetooth headsets are not supported.​

2.

From the troubleshooting page #141:

블루투스 연결이 안돼요 (Section title - Bluetooth won't connect!)

블루투스 인증을 받은 스테레오 헤드셋인지 확인하세요. 모노 핸즈프리 헤드셋은 지원되지 않습니다.​

Please make sure that you are using a certified stereo Bluetooth headset.. Mono Bluetooth headsets are not supported.​

제품이나 스테레오 헤드셋, 휴대전화의 전원을 껐다가 켠 경우 연결이 해제될 수 있습니다. 해제된 경우 다시

연결해 보세요.​

There have been cases where a Bluetooth product, headset, or phone will lose power and turn back on in the middle of a connection. If this happens, retry establishing a connection.​

--- And, that's all she wrote.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
right.. this part is the most interesting really.. and it can mean anything, could be just transferring files or who knows.

Since you know korean, why don't you ask some korean owners of the device (sure there's some forum where they congregate) and find out for sure? If this device doesn't support bf hf profile it will loose a lot of attraction for me. But why would Samsung not implement it? I mean Android doesn't support this functionality natively and so Samsung has developed its own software to support it (sometime after they released 4.0 and 5.0) and included it in the next generation of devices. Why would they drop it from the next generation after that? Doesn't make sense to me.

BTW i'm getting my Gmate next week.. hoping to turn my 5.0 into a full featured mobile phone with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nooktablet:
just went to samsung korea website and it made me really really really really really want this thing http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/it-mobile/mp3-player/smartplayer/YP-GP1EW

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

according to google translate, the battery last

- MUSIC: "Up to 65 hours (setting initialization, screen off, based on Wi-Fi off, MP3 192 kbps)"

- VIDEO: "Up to 7 hours (setting initialization, qHD 960 x 540 H.264 standard)"

oh and if you can please translate this image :D

apperanly it does not have hdmi support :(, i rarely use though, but it's nice to have
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Parts of me really, really, really want this thing, too. But, a lot of the technology within it is obsolete, so the price tag of $400 for the 16GB is not at all appetizing!

As for the picture translation, you would be correct to assume that the device does not support HDMI, as it is not even mentioned in this picture. All of the features mentioned on this picture are surely features that you are already acquainted with (power button, back button, menu button, antenna, etc.).

However, take a look at this web page. An individual who purchased the player uploaded a picture of the device unboxed.

You can see a sticker that indicates that the device supports HDMI out at 1080p.

http://cafe.naver.com/joonggonara/128736997

Apparently, this individual is selling it immediately after s/he put the battery in and turned it on... ::eek:​
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nooktablet:
i clicked on the link and it took me to the page that looks like this

as for the price, when it comes to the US samsung should price it lower than $300, otherwise no one will get it, or at least i won't get it, and like i said i expect the price to be around $250,

but can you use the thing called "MHL" for HDMI?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I figured that might happen.

I hope it comes out for the USA. I want to get a new PMP device. I currently use a galaxy player 5.0. I would love a galaxy player 5.8....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Anything's possible, I suppose. But, that all depends on how well it sells in Korea.

If it sells well in Korea, I predict that we'll next see a release in Europe, then Canada and America. I've never tried to make a sales forecast before, but based on prior experience when the Galaxy Player 5.0 came out when I was living in Korea, they released the Player to the West about 6 months after the Korean release.

Don't quote me on that, but it could be a useful and tentative timeline for a U.S. release.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Bad news. I just found multiple sources saying that the Player 5.8 will not support a Hands-Free Profile.

On the other hand, I did look up the Gmate device you mentioned and it sounds quite enticing. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
Damn.. stupid Samsung. Maybe it's just for the Korean version, let's hope the Int version supports it... yeah right. :rolleyes:

The Gmate, from what i understood after reading their forum is not a glitch free device (as most of the stuff developed in China) i am going to test it and see how it works for me.

I would buy if <250$ and has flash ..players are for younger people and we go out in the night
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nooktablet:
it's an android device, it runs ics, so it of course has flash player, even if samsung updates to jb, we still can sideload
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Thank you for your contribution to the post. However, I think he was more mentioning the flash in regards to the camera. After he mentions the camera flash, he then goes on to mention that the Galaxy Players are designed for young people who have active night lives.

But, to your point, it damn well better have flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Samsung's probably trying to make back money lost on that lawsuit. They are catering this device specifically to Korean students who use devices like these as dictionaries and study hubs. Moreover, I would guess that a lot of the students buying this device are younger and don't have much knowledge on the obsolescence and value of the technology -- or lack thereof -- in this device.

Has any one got full specs for this ?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nooktablet:
http://revision3.com/mobilegeeksreviews/samsung-galaxy-player

They say it uses the omap 4430 processor clocked at 1GHz,

I don't really know much about this processor, but when i played angry birds on my old nook tablet (which uses this processor) it ran smoothly.

I'm guessing it can't run heavy games like asphalt 7, ritpide gp,...?

And how good/bad is this processor compared to the apple A5 used in the ipod touch 5th gen?

And damn, it's already on sale on ebay for the price of an ipad, shipped from korea

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
$470 for this .. is a joke. i would rather buy a 7" tablet with 4000MAh battery, HD IPS screen, 3G, alluminium body, stereo speakers and still have some change left..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] atcq28:
Damn... better off buying a tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nooktablet:
Don't worry guys, i don't know about other markets but i'm pretty sure when it comes to the US (hopefully it will) the price will be lower than the price in Korea.

The guy on ebay is just trying to make money, and only expect crazy to buy from him.

samsung is selling the galaxy tab 2 10.1 16 GB for $400, galaxy tab 2 7.0 8 GB for $250, how the hell are they going to sell a smaller device at $400?

according to sammyhub the galaxy note 10.1 ($500 in the US) is sold for 800,000 won in Korea, which is about $720.

so in their home country the price is pretty expensive, but in the US it's different, i mean cheaper. not sure why they do this, sammyhub also says the note 10.1 was released in Korea AFTER it was released in the US.

now apple is selling the ipod touch 5 for $300, if samsung sells the galaxy player 5.8 for the same price, i will *consider* it, $250 or below, definitely buy it, more than $300, no way.

but reassure and believe me, the price won't be $400 in the US, or maybe samsung won't even sell it in other countries.

[because i don't need a phone, that's why i'm seeking for a phone-minus-phone-calling-functionality device, if i do need a phone, then i'd go for the galaxy note 2 no question lol. so for other people, if you want a (smart)phone, i'd suggest don't bother with this one, the note 2 is awesome, and it's coming]
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
I don't understand how can Samsung sell their devices at such rediculous prices in their home land? Don't they have competition from Cowon, iRiver and such..?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Yeah 400 dollars for this is ridicolous. It's like have way between a PMP and a Tablet. Is 5.8 inches pocketable or what lol.

Sorry for the late reply...download goo manager from market. Then flash twrp from there. It's pretty easy

So yesterday I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, I installed PA 2.0 and everything was good for a while. Suddenly my SMS stopped working it was late so I decided to sleep and see how it was tomorrlw . Today when I woke up I couldn't even make calls, I then reinstalled PA and it was working fine again for a while and again SMS stopped but I could make calls I used phone info app and noticed the network was on CDMA only so I changed it to CDMA auto (prl) and still no SMS tried wcdma Nada. So frustrated I installed miui and right away no SMS . I then installed mokeeOS because I thought it was jb effing things up. Booted and again no sms , calls are good and MMS is good just SMS.
