[Asus Transformer TF700] Sher The Love:
I was in your boat a few weeks ago (a tablet for school deciding between these two). Bought the tf700 and returned it a few days later for the note 10.1. The tf700's performance issues werent worth the $500. It had a lot of trouble loading magazines from Google play and anything else highly detailed. My wife's original tab 10.1 was loading things faster. The speakers are also terrible but wasn't the deal breaker.

The note is fast, stable, and more useful for school, but after seeing the screen on the tf700, I couldnt possibly stay with it. PDFs and textbooks for school look a million times better on the tf700. You could stay zoomed out on magazines and still read the text. The notes screen just hurt my eyes.

I returned the note and decided to wait for something better. A note 2 FHD would be awesome....
[Asus Transformer TF700] blue13x:
The Note 10.1 is better for school IMHO, the note taking and multi-tasking.

I thought the Infinity was the best and the keyboard feature is awsome, but then again an Asus netbook can be had for 250 euros.

Here in europe you can only get the 64gb keyboard inifnity for 710 euro!

I ordered the Note which was 475.

The Asus also has a lot of issues, for a tablet of that price.

It would have been great if the sammy had FHD screen, but the digitizer was the reason why it was kept at 720.

For taking note, doing research and reading and annotatin pdf I see the Note being the better choice.

The 700 is good, but if you really need a keyboard a netbook does the job and you can use full windows apps.

Since you are trying to find a tablet to use at school I'd recommend to buy note 10.1. I'm also a student and I have the same motive than you. :) I don't own note yet since my operator here in finland doesn't have notes for sale yet. I've been reading these kind threads as mitchellvii told you to do as well. Yet I understand that not everyone has time to read forums expecially if one wants information fast :D buy note because of its multitasking advantages and the s-pen. Splitscreen is in my opinion the most useful thing to have in a tablet used for studying. There is a lot bigger resolutions on other tablets screens but 1280x800 is enough :) and even it isn't I'd still buy note because of it's ability to multitask :) hope this helps!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
I would recommend the Galaxy Note 10.1. It IMO is really the most productively designed tablet around due to the multiscreen and the popup windows allowing you to do more things at one time.

As to those that feel they don't have time or that their time is so important that they can't offer a helpful reply, I ask you to please do not waste your time posting a responce to my questions, if you don't desire or have timetime to be helpful. I mean no one is forcing anyone to post answers to any questions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Sorry but we feel that if a question has already been asked and answered 1000 times a new member should respect the Forum and do some research before asking the same question again. The experienced members who help a lot of people find this very annoying. It is clear from the OP's arrogant response that he made no attempt whatsoever to research prior to asking his question. Why should he do any work when we can do it for him? It's just basic forum etiquette.

Like I said, clueless is cool, lazy is not.

I used my Prime+keyboard dock to take notes all last year for my classes, but it wasn't the most reliable thing ever. I had quite a few random reboots in the middle of class and lost a good deal of notes many times.

The Infinity, as far as I know, has more or less the same issues.

Be nice. We've all made forums blunders at one time or another. He asked the same question on the TF700 forum and they were helpful (albeit one-sided). You're making us look bitter. ;)

OP here's the link to a v-e-r-y long thread comparing the two devices. Shorthand: to get a HDMI-out port, FHD display, and an optional keyboard you're sacrificing quite a lot in compenent and build quality.

I've had the prime and the note, note wins hands down. The stylus is much more useful than the keyboard. The plastic body is actually better for Wi-Fi signal strength. If you need hdmi or usb out you can always buy the adaptor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostmypistons:
I'm bored and my time is free so I'll tell how I came to the Note. I owned every Asus tab with keyboard. My daughter was going back to college so I was gonna let her have my infinity and keyboard. One week before she left the Note launched so we went down to Bestbuy and grabbed the first one and brought it home to try. I never really trusted the Asus because of ANRs and crashes so I didn't feel comfortable letting her take it because I know she would be *****ing about it when something went wrong and believe me with Asus its always something. She used the Note for a couple hours and said it was great so I grabbed it and put it through the paces side by side with my infinity. After about a hour I was boxing up the infinity and on my way to Bestbuy to exchange for a Note of my own. My daughter has told me many times "the Notes the best thing for school hands down" when I ask her how it compares to her iPad2 (charger caught fire burn wall in her apt and got money back) she said they're too different animals. We are both trouble free and happy and the world is a better place..... because she's not complaining :)

That's honestly the best way to teach people to use the search function. Belittling them in a thread isn't going to do anything. If people would just ignore the threads they don't want to answer then it'd die out and eventually the op would have to learn to use search.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoushaSen:
There are many comparison out there. Unfortunately, at this point of time no tablet is perfect. The ideal unit would be having the stability, browsing speed and Spen functionality of Galaxy Note 10.1 with Full HD screen and extremely comfortable keyboard with extra extended battery of Infinity into one. Simply this just does not exist.

So you have to make a decision based on what is your priority.

I had 2 infinities for about almost 4 weeks, then Galaxy Note 10.1 for about 3 weeks. Now back to Infinity and that is where I am staying. This is simply because I realized full HD is such an important component for me. I read ebooks with high quality images, watch lecture videos, and browse web sites. So for these tasks, full HD is noticeable every second I use.

I don't miss Spen much just simply because my handwriting is bad and I can type much faster than writing. But I do miss the stability and browsing speed of the Galaxy Note. However, in the end these features were less important for me because application not responding/force close error usually only happens on Infinity when I watch Flash site, which is my leisure time (so I am ok with it). Slower loading time basically loses up to 10-20 seconds on very flash heavy site but again this is not a big deal for me as once the page is loaded I have no issue watching stream video.

So again this is just me but I had to weight different aspects of the each system to come up with this decision.

One thing I can say for sure is Infinity has phenomenal review across the board online and that continues to hold true; whereas, Galaxy Note has mediocre to sometimes terrible reviews from many sites. Don't look at conclusion or score. Read them and see what is important to you. Your conclusion may differ from reviews simply because what is important to you is different from reviewers.

It's your call on whether you want to install it or not.

My advice? Download it, but do NOT install it. Pull it from your cache folder and send it to one of the devs here. DO NOT post the link in the forums.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfoboy:
All right,

have just purchased a GB 2.3.6 while in Singapore for my wife.

Coming from a rooted ICS Galaxy S2. So I can back everything up with TB and move over. (data only... will install apps thru the market)

However, this whole EMMC thing is making me a bit nervous.

A couple ways that I can see about going about this.

Put rooted old version of GB on now, so I can have rooted Note, with CWM. Then Flash an ICS ROM and then a Safe Kernel.

Although, almost all kernel directions say to have an ICS ROM first, and almost all ICS ROMs say to have a safe ICS kernel first, so this is where I get confused about doing the GB root thing, as it seems counter-intuitive which to flash first!

OR

Do the OTA update, and then put on safe Kernel. (but if I understand this correctly, I will be in a position where an unsafe Kernel is now on the phone, as it will be the stock OTA, which I think I want to avoid)

My wife has of course, already moved over things that are on the Note, that I would want to back up first.

If I do the old version of GB first, will I still be able to run TB to grab stuff off of the Note now, and then move back over along with TB from S2?

before all this EMMC stuff... I was busy flashing away... now... agh!

Anyway, thanks for any information on bestest/safest route to go.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
Simple way would be update to stock ICS (using ota or Odin),flash odin hydracore kernel with ODIN and you will get root with cwm.

Note1: Do not factory reset or do anything when in stock ICS.You can do after flashing hydracore kernel.

Note2:You could use triangleaway to reset custom binary counter and triangle.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfoboy:
So, if do the OTA... does my wife lose any data? Can Root with Hydracore and then use TB, then do a full wipe... and should be safe?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
It may do a factory reset when updating through OTA.I haven't updated using OTA nor kies as I always stayed with custom rom.

Yeah after flashing hydracore,you will be safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.rego:
1.it is better to make full reset from GB 2.3.6 stock rom for a clean ICS install

2.use kies or OTA or even download ur stock ics rom and flash it using pc odin

3.dont make any wipes on ICS stock rom

4.root ur note using stock recovery zip method as instructed in dr.ketan thread,u will have root +no triangle at all

5.install mobile odin and flash hydracore safe kernel or speedmod.

Thanks to all... ended up rooting with Older-pre-rooted GB method first via PC Odin, so I could back up her data using GB. (not too much stuff... but wanted to make it easy for that)

This did give me the keyboard NULL error, but overcome using pre-installed swype.

Then tried OTA udate... can't with that rooted ROM.

So wiped all and installed Thai ICS Stock Rom via PC Odin

Then Did unlock via RootSuperSU and added busybox.

Could not figure out how to get CWM on without getting a triangle, so put on Hydracore with PC Odin, then installed Triangle Away, worked like a charm.

Then put back on TB, and restored her data.

Again... safely rooted and on Stock ICS ROM with Safe Kernel... not sure if wife will want any "goochie features" of other ROM's, but man, is that Screen just not the bomb!??! (and I use an S3!)

(waiting for official JB now for the S3, and if it comes to the Note, at least I know how to go about it smoothly for the next upgrade!)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the0bserver:
Hello XDAers,

I have been tearing my hair out trying to fix a localisation issue I have been experiencing with my Nexus 7 in conjunction with a HP Touchpad BT keyboard I purchased last week. While nearly all keys work properly (function keys aside, which I don't care about), there are a few important characters which are not displayed in the obvious way, and furthermore, the 'Alt Gr' modifier doesn't work properly (preventing access to key characters such as | and ~, heavily used in Linux, which is a huge issue for me).

Info on my setup:

Rooted w/CWM, standard kernel

Stock JB 4.1.1 ROM

The problem: The Touchpad keyboard which I purchased is in German, which is perfect for me as I am used to using a QWERTZ layout. However, I prefer to have my language set to English on the Nexus 7. This brings me to my conundrum; which .kcl and .kcm profiles does JB utilise by default when the German language is selected for the external BT keyboard? Thus far I have not been able to work this out. I have modified the default Generic.kcm as found in /system/usr/keychars/ but the characters printed are not affected by any change I make here. Its not a permissions issue, so please don't suggest this.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
