[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
Change rom

Dude, I had the same problem when i switched to different roms, I have found that AOKP and CM9 roms with STOCK kernel are far better than any other roms with siyah kernel, no matter what you change in siyah kernel (undervolt, governors...setcpu etc) they will never be as good as CM9, trust me.

I got bored of changing back to cm9 always, its really the best stock rom.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acegolfer:
Have been using N7 since the day it came out. I love the speed and was wondering whether it's primarily due to hardware or software.

My main question is do other JB devices such as GNex, NexusS also observe as fast speed as N7?

If you have such devices, I'd like to hear your impression rather than a simple yes or no answer.

My Galaxy Nexus has felt quite a bit faster since I put Jelly Bean on it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert00:
buyed yesterday n7,gnex users from december 2011,both are very fast,but i feel a bit more quick the gnex,also if 1.2 dual-core and with old gpu.i have to say that i always use overclocked gpu and cpu,instead in this tablet i have yet to oc or change speed\governors\kernel :silly:

it's my third tablet,had the first gtab p1000 7",then a transformer 10",and now i returned to my belowed 7",the best compromise!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
id say my galaxy nexus is just as fast as my seven overall in the ui. but with certaun apps and games the seven blows away the gnex.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert00:
ok,thanks for the reply simms.i think so,but haven't had the time yet to root\oc and test at my best the system.also the tab now is empty..i will return in this 3ad after playing a bit with that.for now i'm quite satisfied.i want to try morfic (love his kernels!!)and motley kernels...

I'm building aokp build 2 in my linux environment right now...and in the meantime i want to root\cwm this baby!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cute_kayani:
In ICS xperia p battery is consuming more power as compared to GB. I have set brightness to 0%, auto syn off, Mobile data disabled, but still battery level drops down too fast.

There is no battery full notification in xperia p.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] babu.rajiv2007:
I think you games a little too much :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cute_kayani:
Just played granny smith for a while.

Daily i charged my cell twice or thrice and after few hours battery drops down to lowest level.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] babu.rajiv2007:
Try this:

Fully charge your phone, switch it off. Check after 2-3 hrs, and see if the battery level has dropped. If yes, then, its the problem with your battery.

IF not, some app is draining through a ditch.

Install GSAM battery monitor, and use its app usage. :)

One more thing, screen calibration is also missing in sony. So how to calibrate screen?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DrKrFfXx:
Dolphin Browser = 9%? As much as a game?

That's quite high if you ask me. I use Chrome and it never gets more than 3~4% of battery usage.

I'm not on a P but on a S, but the usage figures proportionally should be comparable.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
Hello,

How are you?

So, I'm thinking about buying a tablet.

My main goal is to have a biggest, more comfortable device for web browsing to complement my galaxy nexus.

I was thinking about a nexus 7, but being too close on size to my nexus, made me consider a 10 inch model.

I liked the fact that the nexus 7 is updated by Google and runs stock android, but there seems to be a good community of support for Samsung tabs, and with ROMs like cm9 and cm10, that might not be the deal breaker.

I also looked at the Acer a700, because of its screen. The high res is really appealing, but the price is around 400.

I can get a sweet deal on a tab 10.1, for 200 Euros. So, is it a good bet today?

Thanks.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aelsharawi:
I'm happy with it especially after ics update

But why don't consider Asus prime?, note 10.1?

Or wait for the next generation from Samsung I think it will be soon
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] easy2boy:
10.1 inch is good for broswe internet go ahead and get ur tab
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
The reason I'm interested in the tab 10.1 is mainly the price.

At this time I don't know if I would use a tablet all that much.

At first I'm guessing I would just use it in the couch to do some web browsing.

When I go out, I usually just take my nexus in my pocket and it pretty much covers my on the go needs.

If I have a tablet, I might take out out sometimes, but my fear is not using it enough. That's why I am not thinking about a tf700 or iPad 3. I just think I would not use them enough and would probably feel sorry for spending 600 on a device to sit on the shelf...

Anyway, does the tab 10.1 still holds it's own against those tegra 3 tablets?

How is web browsing with the screen's low PPI?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] johnqevil:
I got my wife a Tab 10.1 on clearance ($250) a couple of months ago. I bought my Nexus 7 at the same time. The only time there's a difference between us performance-wise is 3d gaming. All other times there's no real difference.

EDIT: She's very happy with the device for web browsing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
Thank you for your reply.

That is really helpful.

can you tell me your opinion about the difference in PPI from both models, since they both have the same resolution, but the nexus is smaller?

Also, how is the tab for typing with the thumbs in portrait mode?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djmatt604:
A modded 10.1 with performance tweaks is a joy to use. Battery life is sick @ 7000mah too. I have one for myself and one for the wife and they're wonderful. The kernel I'm running is OC'd to 1.4GHz and GPU @ 400 so while it's still not a match for newer devices, 3d games are still running nicely. A build.prop tweak for increasing buffer size will make web browsing even more enjoyable and most custom roms account for that, I've found.

In portrait mode the tab is still a bit wide...if you have long thumbs you shouldn't have any issues. If you were cursed with bitty digits stick with landscape and key the way you normally would. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] essedee:
I don't know anything about the Tegra 3 devices but I can tell you about my experience with the GT7500 . The main reason I got it was for Web browsing and watching video content on my daily commute. I really like using using this device and I may be imagining it but the display seems crisper since ICS updated. If you can get one really cheap I say buy it :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vicoleon:
I think it is

I think it is an option, is fast, convenient and runs android. The only think i guess should be reconsidered, is the price since with the introduction of the Kindle Fire HD, its price is now prohibitive.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
If you can get it for under 250, I would think so. If you're a spec freak, you might prefer a quad core but you'll pay a lot more for a ten incher.

It depends on what you plan on doing on the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
Yes, I can get it under 250 and I just plan on using it for web browsing, tapatalk, some note taking, videos... no gaming. Just maybe the occasional angry birds type of game.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Serpentene:
No. There are better and cheaper options.

ASUS is a better choice..bang for the buck.

Google Nexus is pretty sweet also.

I own these Samsung Galaxy tabs gentlemen...this is an unbiased opinion.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] QuadBro:
İn my opinion,in this year (Q4 2012) Galaxy tab 10.1 is still nice tablet.but in 2013 GTab 10.1 become old.my advice is you should not take it.wait 2013 :good:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
Hello.

I know it is not state of the art, but all I want is a tablet to web browse on the couch or on the coffee shop.

I am also thinking about an original Motorola xoom. It is almost the same specs as the tab 10.1, but it runs stock android without the need for custom ROMs.

If I get any of the two cheap enough, maybe I could resell them in a couple of months and then pick a better 2013 tablet without much loss.

And until then I could have a nice tablet to browse...

Thoughts?

Does a 1920x1200 screen make a huge difference in browsing experience? Is it worth twice the money?

Cheers! And thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Serpentene:
In my opinion the only good thing ever to come from Motorola was their MC68000 CPU chip.

And that is very ancient computer history..

Motorola products do not have good track records.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] clonski:
Argos have been knocking them out at "half price" in the UK. Mainly 3G models left for home delivery. Likely to be as rare as hens teeth in store. I've ordered a 16GB 3G model for £250 (it's being delivered tomorrow :)). Seems like good value to me.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
So, how is the state of CM10 development for the tab 10.1?

Already with project butter and stable?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kisrita:
I can tell you that prior to the ICS update, I was very unhappy with the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It was frustratingly slow, and using it was not a pleasant experience. Then I bought a Nexus 7 and totally fell in love with it. I did end up tweaking it with Nova launcher, but did not root it. After the ICS update I still wasn't happy with the performance of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Then I added Nova launcher and the same tweaks as for the Nexus 7. Did not root the Galaxy tablet either. And the performance seems to have improved so I am no longer complaining. However, I have to say that I still rarely use the 10" tablet. For me the 7" form factor and the higher pixel density works better. Or the weight. The 10" tablet never leaves the house, and rarely leaves the bedroom. The 7" tablet goes everywhere. I would recommend giving some thought to what size works for you best. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. The 10" tablet should be better at note taking. I've seen lots of comments that the 10" should be better for videos and web browsing, but that hasn't been my experience. The Nexus 7 seems to have more apps available for it. For example, Flipboard is available for the Nexus 7, but not for the Galaxy tab. (It works fine on the Galaxy tablet, you just can't get the apk from the Google Play store.) If I had $250 to spend and did not have either tablet, I would either buy the Nexus 7, or save up for a better 10" tablet. I don't think the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is worth $250, not when you can get a tablet that works better for $199.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
For the usage you describe either the galaxy tab 10.1 or the xyboard would suffice (the later having microSD expandability). If the Asus Transformer TF300 is in the same price range the it is worthy of a look too (tegra 3), though I'm not sure what the status of development is for that device.

It has taken a long time for development to get to the point that it has for the galaxy tab 10.1 due to how long Samsung decided to wait to release ICS. CM9 development is far along with CM10 still needing work. There are some great devs here as in other device forums.

As for screen resolution one would expect that despite the color accuracy issues of the nexus 7's screen the higher pixel density of that panel would render text better and in my comparison between the two (I own both) that is the case so I would expect no different from a 1080p screen on a 10-inch form factor. That said the 10.1 does have a very nice panel and it's adequate for the use you describe.

Its great that you're doing the research so that you enter into your purchase eyes wide open. Know that you're buying into an aging platform and make sure you can live with the tradeoffs that come with that in order to get the lower price you're looking for.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
I thank you for your insights!

There are really helpful info here!

In regard to the nexus 7, it is a device that is also on my mind. Mainly because as I said, I love my nexus phone and the whole nexus experience of stock android and updates from Google.

Does who own both, how is the web browsing on the 7? Does the higher PPI makes up for the smaller screen?

How is using nexus 7 vs a smartphone like the galaxy nexus? Very different? Or is it a close experience?

Cheers and thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
IMO the 7-inch form factor in a tablet is great for holding in hand to lounge around and read forums or watch videos but is a little cramped for web browsing. It comes up short vertically in landscape mode and too narrow in portrait mode to make web page text comfortable to read for my aging eyes.

I do really like my Nexus 7 though, but once official ICS came out on the Verizon 10.1 I've started using my 10.1 daily again even at home.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kisrita:
I have a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 so here's my two cents;

I find myself browsing on the Nexus 7 the most. But I spend even more time browsing on my 55" HDTV from the couch (connected to an HTPC). I cannot stand browsing on the Galaxy Nexus. It's too small. It's ok in an emergency. I do like browsing on the Nexus 7. Two weeks after I got the Nexus 7, I took both tablets with me on vacation. I ended up using the Nexus 7 exclusively except when I wanted to show pictures I took, I chose the 10" tablet the show them off - the larger screen made it more comfortable to share with two people at the same time. But since then, I have never used the 10" tablet outside of my house. The Nexus 7 is just so much more portable, and browsing is comfortable enough that I have never felt the need to revert back to the 10" tablet. I've used the 10" so little since the Nexus 7 came out that I'm not sure I'm a good enough judge of the differences any more. Initially the Galaxy Tab 10.1 drove me crazy because it was so slow, however I don't think that's a problem after ICS and Nova tweaks. There is probably some other situation when a 10" screen is better. I just haven't found it in the 2 months I've been using the Nexus 7.

Regarding the better ppi of the Nexus 7 - yes, this does make a difference because you may hold the 7" tablet closer to your eyes than a 10" tablet. It is good enough on the Nexus 7 that you can view full page pdf, which was an unexpected pleasant surprise for me. I do very much prefer the screen of the Nexus 7 over the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and would have a difficult time reading on any device with a lower ppi. I don't think it matters for pictures and video. If you need a tablet that will be fixed somewhere away from you, (like on a wall or dashboard) then the bigger screen would be better. Otherwise, in my 2 months of normal use, just holding it in my hands, I haven't found a disadvantage to browsing on the 7", and continue to reach for the Nexus 7 even when the 10" tablet is next to it. I think mostly because it's a more convenient size, weight and snappier. However, the 10" isn't bad, and someone who is less sensitive to size/weight of the tablet might prefer that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
But since the 10.1 and the nexus 7 have the same resolution, isn't the space available both horizontally and vertically the same when a webpage is loaded?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kisrita:
I agree it's no good in portrait mode. But landscape mode is comfortable for me though, and I also have aging eyes. But I'm near sighted, so aging eyes only means take off those glasses when viewing something small enough that I'm straining through the glasses, I can still see landscape web pages comfortably without glasses.

But that is a good point, for those needing reading glasses, a larger screen would probably be better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
See this is the challenge we all face with tech, not only are devices different but so are we!

My vision dictates that I don't hold either tablet any differently in terms of distance to my eyes so for ME the 7-inch form factor is less satisfactory for web browsing because some web pages don't format well to fit within the screen size. Here's a good example; when browsing some articles on The Verge on the 7-inch tablet I find myself needing to zoom in but when I try to in portrait mode things end up rezising (text doesnt just increase in size, the page reformats in the browser) I sometimes find myself then zooming in and out on the nexus 7 trying to find the most comfortable size. I do much less of this on the 10-inch.

For youtube though, the nexus 7 is fantastic. Perfect size to hold and HD content looks fantastic on it.

Despite the color accuracy issues with the Nexus 7 though the text rendering on it is definitely better than on my GT 10.1.

Enjoy participating in these kinds of threads, illustrates our diversity.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
What about this I posted earlier?

If both have the same resolution...

It is just confusing me, because in theory, two web pages should look the same, horizontal or vertical.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Well think about it; both put out 1280x800 pixels but one does it in 10.1 inches diagonal screen size and the other does it in 7 inches. The 7-inch tablet will naturally have smaller pixels and therefore the ppi is higher yielding a sharper image albeit smaller in physical dimensions. On any given web page the either tablet is capable of rendering what appears to be the same amount of content on the screen at once BUT the image itself will be smaller on the 7-inch tablet and the text would be smaller yet sharper looking.

For someone like me who needs glasses for both distance and reading the sad reality is I need bigger fonts so dispite the lower ppi (pixels per inch) of the 10.1 vs the Nexus 7 I still feel more comfortable reading my tech blogs on the 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sunshine23:
hey guys, what do you think about to sell the GT-P7510 and to buy the Asus TF700 (its much more expensice!!) or even to wait until Q1/2013 for new tabs, maybe somethink like tegra 4/ 2GHz Quadcore?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kisrita:
The TF700 was on my shopping list before I bought the Nexus 7. It seems like a good tablet. If I needed a 10" tablet right now, I probably would get that. I like the keyboard that you can buy with it. Though I would wait a little if I could, Samsung may come out with something like the Note 10.1 but not so hideous looking. And there are rumors of a Nexus 10", though I don't know how real that is. The perfect tablet would have a higher PPI than the Nexus 7, but a lower weight than the Galaxy Tab for 10" or lower weight than the Nexus 7 for 7" tablet, with at least as good battery life and at least as fast as the Nexus 7. The one area I can compromise is the lack of SD card, and built in memory. I was so worried about that when I bought the Galaxy Tab that I paid extra for the 32gb and also bought the USB connector and large flash drive. I never needed it. 16 GB is plenty for me. I might be OK with 8gb, but don't like to fill the whole drive. But I tether for free off of my galaxy nexus with my 5gb per month for $30 plan that is twice as fast as my cable internet on a Sunday so I don't need to save an audio or video library on my tablet. (Yes, my cable internet speed sucks).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] johnqevil:
The tab is a bit big for thumb typing, at least for me, but might work alright for someone with large hands. As for image quality, the Nexus screen is a lot sharper.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
Just saw today that Samsung announced their jelly bean update for the tab 2

7.0 and 10.1 and the note 10.1.

The original tab 10.1 seems to be left out.

Will this mean bad news for the development of ROMs like CM10, mainly the introduction of project butter?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kisrita:
I second this, another advantage to the 7" screen. Its easier to type on. (Thumb type)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Serpentene:
At this point in the tablet game the absolute only way a 10.1 makes sense is if the owner wishes to root and customize kernel.

Even color calibration is possible for this tablet if the user is able enough.

But is only good for the developer/tinkerer.. And only if at a steal of a price.

This is an end of life product.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdourado:
I don't like touchwiz. I had a galaxy note prior to my nexus and ran CM ROMs.

The idea of the 10.1 would be to run the CM ROMs.

But now that Samsung won't launch an official jelly bean, cm10 might not have the right drivers to use things like project butter... is this right?

Also, I still can't make up my mind about the whole 7 inch vs 10 inch form factor...

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ChrisHRocks:
I can't make up my mind either. My plan is to buy a N7 and just have both the one I use the least can be the one for the kids to play games on! Sorted!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Serpentene:
I respect Google I really do. However, like any tech company..marketing the technology hype is more important than the technology itself.

Don't be too worried about "project butter."

If you really want the now obsolete galaxy tab 10.1 you can modify kernel and touch screen sensitivity if rooted.

Just so we're clear tho...4.1 jellybean absolutely its where you want to be on a Nexus 7.
