[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Buddy please check there was a post where people started taking about the device being laggy and slow I and one more posted video proving otherwise and after that people started saying otherwise so if you want to see my device you can go and see it in that video. BTW you were suppose to post a picture still have not seen it. Yes I keep asking for proof because if I tell you my piece is made of gold would you believe it ?? No then how do you expect me to believe it.

As far as manufacturing in Philipines mine is grey and made in korea so i do not know the issue with the build quality of devices manufactured there yes there will be a difference in mother board of a 32 Gb device because a 16GB memory chip will be added but thats what it will be.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
Min says it is made b y samsung ,:) how yo know where it was actually made
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Check the label on the box which has the price and other details the one manufactured in Philipines have a philipine address and korea ones have address from Korea
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhd1802:
My box has no "made in ...." markings. Though one of the small clear stickers of the back of mine had "P3 made in Vietnam"

White 16GB UK with no build issues

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dale_cooper:
Just a quick thought... my assumption proved to be correct - if you don't have a case, GET ONE. Plastic flexing, any of that kind of stuff, is non existent with a case on. I bought the moko slim case from amazon; wow its great. Looks great, feels great, and holding the tablet while laying down is now so comfortable because it will stand up.

Case is a MUST !
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cp_kirkley:
I agree that the case is a must but I find the Moko, and others like it to be very ugly. There has to be some nicer looking options.

Thanks all for the opinions regarding the casing/color.. I've just ordered a 16GB 3g version and was a bit worried about how bad the flex would actually be. I played with the Note 10.1 in Best buy a few days ago, expecting the creak to be absolutely HORRENDOUS, as it would be publicy handled and mistreated. To my surprise the build quality seems sturdy even with the light glossy plastic. I cant bring myself to order white electronics, I ordered the grey version and it should be here by Thursday at the latest. So excited!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dale_cooper:
The slim moko looks very professional IMO - it fits tightly, the padding on the inside isn't bulky, and I like how the bezel/trim of the note is not covered up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Now you know why i used those words, dont worry the creaking noise are characteristic of plastic but its not as bad as is said and if you feel its not proper you can always get it replaced so there is no issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] androidjobe:
Hey got my 3rd one in today -- that means I have one white (16G) and two slate/grey 32s (old and new.)

I'll try to get some pics uploaded when I get time, but I wanted to confirm:

Fact 1: Both grey models have a darker (yellow hue) screen then my white one.

Fact 2: The old grey one has a visible yellow hue to the screen

Fact 3: The old grey one had a loose pen, not so loose it fell out, but much looser than my white one

Fact 4: The old grey one creaked

Fact 5: The new grey one is almost as bright as my white one (super close)

Fact 6: The new grey one has a hue that is yellower than my white one, but less yellow then my old grey one

Fact 7: The new grey one has a pen nearly as tight as the white one, its noticeably louder than both the white and old grey one when pulling it out

Fact 8: The new grey pen is darker in color than the old grey one (almost off black)

Fact 9: The new grey one, like the white one, only creaks near the pen sleeve

Fact 10: I've spent $1500+ USD testing three devices in home and comparing each of those three to 2 store units, I've done my hands-on research. I've contributed to this thread a 'Thanks' would be appreaciated.

My personal conclusion: I can no longer say through personal experience alone that there is a quality difference between white and gray.

I can unquestionably say that there is a quality difference from unit to unit, both gray and white.

At the end of the day I love this tablet and I've had several die-hard Apple fans tell me they are considering purchasing a Note 10.1 after I demoed any of the three units to them. I still recommend this device, but

like any TV/laptop/car I recommend you evaluate the unti you get in hand. Assure its to your satisfaction before you return period lapses.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Buddy, I said I would get my third one on friday, and post pics shortly after.

Its Thursday and I got my third one a day early, and posted my findings, simmer down.

P.S. feel free to post thanks for the time I've taken to buy and compare 3 units.:highfive:

Its hard to capture three screens at equal viewing angles, but I did the best I could in a hurry.

If you look at the white section of the screens its easier to see the yellowing (bottom right) but I dont feel like this picture did the yellowing justice, it was worse than what the camera picked up (due to angles.)

I'll keep my question short and straight. Is it possible to upgrade or flash new updates/custom roms to any android devices? As in, there are a lot of Non Brand phones which are running Android Froyo or GB. Is it possible to update them with custom ROMS :confused::confused:

Very Imporant - Security Exploit for HTC Desire

I suggest you read the entire post and DO NOT IGNORE IT, the HTC Desire is DEFINITELY VULNERABLE

As some of you might know, the Samsung phone remote wipe exploit is not limited to Samsung phones, in fact, older HTC models such as the HTC Desire are vulnerable too!

If you are unaware, read all about it on this link {siliconrepublic.com} - It's NOT limited to Samsung phones, I can confirm that UK HTC phones are vulnerable too, including the Desire!

This webpage when viewed on your phone will tell you if you are vulnerable:

http://dylanreeve.com/phone.php

Simply navigate to it and if it displays your IMEI number then you are vulnerable.

A simple way of being notified if your phone is being attacked by a malicious SMS or webpage is by installing TelStop:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mulliner.telstop

It will open the default application selector when you hit a webpage that is trying to dial a number, when you choose telstop it will inform you if the number is malicious or not!

If you are not sure about visiting that page, I suggest you view it from a desktop or laptop computer and check the source code yourself.

This line will show your IMEI number:

<iframe src="tel:*%2306%23" />

It's an incredibly obvious and simple exploit and I'm in disbelief that it's gone unnoticed for so long, all it takes is opening an SMS or going on a dodgy webpage and then your sim and phone are wiped and potentially bricked.

My phone is a UK HTC Desire with Oxygen ROM 2.3.2, Android version 2.3.7

UPDATE: Looks like the HTC Desire might not have a reset dialer code, making the vulnerability not as bad, but we need confirmation on this one.
[Desire General] theliquid:
Latest Sandvold Build is vulnerable.

Btw.: HTC One X with Stock Rom too ...
[Desire General] gie62001:
Hehe I don't know whats with all the paranoia about security ;) unless you're trading government secrets or doing a lot of online banking via your phone I don't think this should be a real issue.

[Asus Transformer TF700] misiek_to_ja:
Hi guys,

Is there any way to make our status bar longer / wider ? It really irritates me that some notifications do not show up on the status bar (like GMail, Facebook, Tapatalk etc.), because there are other apps occuping the place in status bar permanently (like CPU Usage Monitor, Battery Indicator Pro, Tasker or Avast! Mobile Security). So sometimes if I don't catch the notification sound I can't tell there is new email, facebook event or tapatalk post just by looking at the screen. I need to click on the status bar to see all the notifications. I turned off permanent notifications for some programs like Tasker or Avast, but this way they are not prevented to be killed by internal task manager. Taking into consideration the fact that status bar occupies only small part of the screen I would say it is a huge waste of space. Is there any way to hack it and make it longer / wider to display more icons / notifications ? My HTC Sensation shows more icons in the status bar and it has this nice arrow sign to indicate there are additional notifications. Here we don't have such indicator.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I'm not absolutely sure about the stock ROM -- although I think I do know and that the answer should be in the negative -- but on CM10, for example, there is an option to display the number of open notifications in the task bar. I haven't tested it so far -- if I remember to, I will give it a shot and report back in.

Bottom line: probably on a custom ROM. :)

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myawan:
A Lithium-ion battery has normally 400-1200 charging cycles (Ref. Wiki).

Couple of things that shorten life span of a battery:

1) Complete discharging, it is recommended not to go below 20%

2) High temperature which implies that if you OC too much your device will heat up and battery life shortened

3) If you consume 50% of your device battery on day 1, recharge to 100% at night, and do the same thing on day 2, then you would have just finished up one charge cycle of its battery life. Constantly recharging a lithium ion battery does not shorten the battery life more than normal usage would. Hence constantly recharging a lithium ion battery does not shorten the battery life more than normal usage would. Avoid letting it sit on empty for too long; instead, keep it charged-up if you can. (REF.)

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nundoo:
I noticed a few times, with some of the phones or devices I used to own, that if you, for example, after charging the phone, let's say play a graphics intensive 3D game for 15 minutes, the battery meter will drop quite a lot(e.g. 15%). But if you leave it on stand-by immediately, you will notice that after some time, the battery meter will indicate with 3-5-7% more than before.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Lithium battery's do last a long time but they do loose there charge and become weak. After a year and a half I would defiantly consider buying a new battery. I wouldn't recommend the cheap $3.00 battery's but I would look on eBay or amazon and find a stock o.e.m battery. Brand battery's are more expensive but last probably 3-5 times longer then cheap battery's. I've read and heard that lithium battery's are not suppose to get hot but they can get warm, if the battery gets hot then it can destroy the battery and won't hold a charge as long as it should.

It also depends on what ROM you are running and what applications you are running, all that can add up and drain your battery fast. I would change a battery on a phone about 5-7 months or maybe even up to a year. Depends on your budget and what you can afford. hope this helps

My charger squeeks. When the tablet (or dock) is plugged in, and is fully charged, the charger starts squeeking. When I unplug the proprietary connector from the tablet/dock the noise stops. Whenever there is something to be charged (either dock or tablet), the squeeking stops.

So basially, the charger only squeeks when it is plugged in and not actually chaging, and does not squeek when it is plugged in and 'idling'.

Anyone else have this issue? I have a European/Dutch outlet connector btw.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Same here, and it is normal behavior and nothing to worry about. As far as I know, it's just a higher frequency version of the well-known 50Hz 'hum' and has to do with electronics in the charger. Most transformers (i.e., power converters) have this, as even when you unplug your device, there is still induction going on in the secondary spool of the transformer, and therefore, it is still 'working', albeit with no actual, useful output.

That's also why a power converter still consumes electricity if you simply unplug a charged device and then go to school/work/whatever -- to stop it from '' bleeding', you need to unplug the charger itself from the wall socket.

Check some others you may have laying around and if you put your ear close enough, you'll hear them doing it too. Hell, even my television set does it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Itwill probably do exactly the same, although at a 20% higher frequency. ;) EDIT: actually, that might be a good thing if you're slightly older, for I must admit the frequency of the beep is very annoying (I have pretty good hearing, and the tablet signalling it is charged from next to my bed is irritating to say the least....).

And, err... yeah, it was kinda obvious this attracted a lot of attention from the Low Countries. Luckily, I am pretty sure we all have the same kind of electricity (and applicable laws of physics). ;)

When I charged the 700 overnight for the first time, my girlfriend/now wife poked me awake -- since I hold the designated household mosquito killer position -- that there was this HUGE mosquito that needed swatting. She said it sounded so humongous that she was scared that if the thing would bite, she would be sucked empty as a flat tire. :laugh: I saw nothing, obviously, only hearing a slight beep, only finding out the most probable suspect the next morning. :)

Yes, they do seem to become increasingly more common... Probably because the companies have a hard time realizing the calendar says 2012 and not 1912 :p Ironically, they nearly always coincide with a football match...

I have an unusual sensitivity to high frequency noises. However, I misstated my original post - I meant to say I have not noticed it thus far.

I am slightly older (41) but I also have tinnitus in my ears, so it's a bit strange that I am s attuned to high frequency noises at all. Maybe if I am lucky, the whine is at the same frequency as the ringing in my ears, and it is thus in phase or canceled out? :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I dunno -- I'm 33 years old and have tinnitus as well, and I am very high-frequency sensitive, as well. Might be the condition in itself, or maybe everyone has tinnitus when you'd measure but most people just do not have the hearing to pick it up <?> -- talk about bending a disadvantage to something positive, hahaha! It depends on the build and proportions of your inner ear, though, which explains why I pick it up so clearly and you seem not to. Call yourself lucky though, for I have taken to charging it during the day when I am at home and busy with the kids, or in the hospital during a shift, when I don't have that much time to play around with it anyway. I try to avoid the overnight charging at the moment; I might pick it up where I left if/when my hearing goes south and I can't make it out anymore. ;)

EDIT: slightly (at best) off-topic, but can you hear the power converter of a cathode-ray television set when you turn it on? I can hear all kinds of electronic equipment being turned on -- with the volume down to zero, obviously, for the humorously-inclined in here. ;)
