Hi, I've been reading note 10.1 forums over a month even though I'm not lucky enough to own one yet. I'm not gonna question you're knowledge and awareness of these forums contents since I can see that you (mitchellvii) are a lot more active in here than I am, but yet I'd like you to point a thread that is about what applications is there available on google play store that are fun and educational apps for children less than 2 years old. I've not found one. Yet there might be one of course but you said that this particular question has been asked extensively, which is a synonym to a phrase such as "many times" and "over and over again".

I agree that these forums share so much information that half of these questions asked here could've been avoided by reading a few pages, but I think that when you search these threads in your time of boredom or your interest - which is exactly what I do - you should read what it's about instead of only reading it's title which seems similar to those 10 other threads where you just adviced people about not to ask those same questions "extensively". And maybe, just maybe then give your "constructive" answer.

I think that this guy here asked a very good question concerning what use note 10.1 could have to children, even though I'm only 19 years old and don't have any little boys or girls.

Please don't hate me because of this post, I just expressed my opinion on this matter and I might be wrong. I just think that people asking polite and appropriate questions should be treated the same way if the exact questions hasn't been answered yet, shouldn't they?

I think my point here is quite good and it emphasizes good team spirit. But maybe it's just me. Is it? :( (((see I'm sad and hopeless and yet I have some sort or HOPE that I'm not alone when I think that internet forums shouldn't be a place where people say inappropriate and rude things just because they don't need to say it face to face cos it's easier to say those in here.)))

Yes that's something to look for but can it be found here in xda galaxy note 10.1 forums? What I was wondering was if this questions has asked in here before. I don't know if you got this link from xda note 10.1 forums since I obviously didn't read them all before posting my opinion. But if a person comes on note 10.1 forum and asks a question that's not been asked and answered here, we should give him the answer if we have one and we should NOT expect him to google it if the questions is as ungooglable as this one is. Xda is about helping, not about "you can't ask that and if you ask you won't get an answer because someone asked something like that a month ago so you should already have an answer because someone gave it to someone on some thread some time ago". Right? We can't escape the fact that there will be "help me! Should i get ipad or note i don't know and i'm dying"- threads every god damn day but this one is not a thread like that. This one has a particular point focusing on children and I think it's a great perpective. And I do feel sorry now for the creator of this thread cos I just filled the first page with my thoughts :D sorry about that but I just thought it needed to be said somewhere.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
What you're looking for doesn't exist. But after you've done the research it would be great if you could post your results to help others in the future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cs_allu:
I'm not quite sure what you're saying? I'm not looking for anything. In my first post I replied to mitchellvii that he's not actually helping anyone which should be the point in here. If you read my posts I think you'll see I don't currently need any help and I'm not looking for anything. Excuse me if I didn't catch your point on your last post but please explain me if you think I missed something which is quite possible since english is not my best language. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Typically forums like XDA are very general. What you're asking about is very specific. Also, at least in my time here, there hasn't been a lot of focus on mobile devices being used by children. So if you're looking for information I don't think you'll find anything specifc enough to meet your needs. If you're asking if there's a need I'd say yes, but it would be of interest to a small subset of the community. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cs_allu:
Oh and I wasn't looking for a thread concerning this matter cos I thought from the beginning that it doesn't exist, so I asked mitchellvii to point one which he obviously hasn't been able to do yet. My purpose was to tell someone who just replied to a unigue question - "there is plenty of other questions like this one." - to go find another one if there's so many of them. Okay?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I know where Mitch was coming from. Just today there were three threads started besides your all asking "should I buy a Note?" That in addition to others that were already open. His answer assumed yours was a question already asked but yours was specifc to children. Nobody should be offended. Hopefully you'll get the Note and someday have children you can hand it down to. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Ironically, I find your posts to be even less helpful than the poster you originally replied to. JMO
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
First of all you need to chill out. As Barry said we get 2 or 3 these "Why should I buy this tablet?" threads each day.

The OP didn't mention his interest in educational apps until about the 8th paragraph down. 90% of his question has been asked and answered hundreds of times. Thus it is pretty clear to me the OP did not spend 10 seconds searching for an answer prior to asking, otherwise he would have just asked about educational apps without the rest.

Read then ask.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

I have requested the Mods to place a stickie about this at the top of the page so we can hopefully cut down on the duplicate threads.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Hilari0:
Well, I think I made a better thread by describing my situation, rather than simply starting a thread with: "Are there any educational apps for this thing?"

You say: read, then ask

I say: Read the whole initial post before answering, not just the first line.

And for the record, I have been searching and reading a lot before posting here, but didn't really find any clear and good information regarding my question..

Anyway, none the less, I got some good answers here and the link that was posted was very helpful.. It really makes it easier to decide, and I'm 90% sure that I will go for the Note.. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
So would you suggest buying at a certain location in case the price drops? Is Amazon a good choice for purchasing this? I get 5% cash back if I buy with my Discover card starting Monday (online purchases). I hear Best Buy is good too for their return policy. I've always loved Amazon for no-hassle returns though. Any advice?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I think the lowest price last year for the OG G-Tab 10.1 over Black Friday was $349 vs. $499 retail. I wouldn't expect any better on the Note. But hey, these are crazy times so who knows what retailers will do to bring people in this year. Price protection's usually 30 days so you'd have to wait until the end of October to have the reseller match any holiday discounts. If you know anyone that's a Best Buy Silver Rewards member I think they get 60 days price protection.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cs_allu:
That's true but when someone would lighten up and think about what I said then there would be even more helpful posts ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Guardsix:
I have owned every iPad produced including the iPad 3 and I have owned the ASUS TF201. I now have an ASUS TF700t and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

For the purpose of educating your young child, you cannot go wrong with an iPad! Yeah, I know that sounds crazy with all my Android stuff but if you want simple to use and easy to experience you can't dismiss Apple's IOS6. Any child can pick up an iPad and instinctively know where and what to touch after being shown the first time. I know this from experience. My two year old niece is a whizz at the iPad and will go after it instead of my other tablets. It is much easier to use for a child.

Just my opinion. I don't own an iPhone either; Samsung Galaxy Nexus!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fvig2001:
I agree with the previous poster. iPads are easier to use by children. My 3 year old nephew uses his iPad annoyingly well. He even swipes my iPad and looks for games when he has the chance.

IOS apps also have way more educational software than Android will ever have. I don't know much about the quality of those software though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] junrider:
Yup, I can vouch for the ipad. I bought my daughter an ipad2 since she was less than 1yrs old, shell be 3 in Jan. And she got the basics at 1 and mastered them at 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
If I got this tablet for $349, I would be thrilled! Do you think Best Buy does the price protection with holiday sales though? I wonder if there's a caveat for that.

Also, I need to find someone who's a silver rewards member for sure if what you say it true!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] holgalee:
The note 10.1 is lighter and I won't be surprised if the polycarbonate body is better able to absorb shocks if dropped, than the iPad. But, I do believe there should be more and better quality apps for iOS. That said, there are probably more android apps than you can possibly cope with for children, and the number and quality just keeps improving. Someone mentioned about free apps for children from the Samsung appstore, and that's what I've noticed too.

For me, the android system is more liberating, especially in terms of file management and ways to customise the interface, thereby making it truly my style. It may sometimes be slightly less intuitive to use than iOS (e.g. different ways of doing the same thing), but it's also more enriching, especially for reasonably intelligent adults who do not mind spending a bit more time learning the system. I've always felt iOS is overrated and only strong in apps but nothing else, so your mileage many differ. This comes from my experiences in owning an iPod nano--need iTunes just to delete or rename music file--and playing with the iPads belonging to my office and close relatives.

I believe your daughter will like whichever tablet you get. Oh and the front speakers will be really helpful in playing videos and sounds.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
I agree.

My 4 year old now is a pro with android already... he discovers things on his own...

Reads istorybooks at bedtime, youtube for songs, math pro to generate random addition questions.... and yes boatful of games like osmosis, temple run, nfs, asphalt7, crayon physics...

He has been using tablets for past year now... and he can pick any new device now and start using it..

We only allow use of tablet for 1 hr a day for him though.

Android is intutive for him.. so don't worry.. kids are intelligent people, and will learn what u give them faster than u think...

I am growing up with my son again. We play turn by turn :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] andromorph:
You're doing the right thing, A friend's firend has 4 year old son who has "wall eye/wondering eye" syndrome (don't know the exact term, I'm not good at English) due to excessive PC usage. Guys don't let your children to look at a PC monitor, notebook or tablet screen for several hours, especially kids under 7 years old. Their eyes are much more sensitive than the older ones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
I have tried allshare, imediashare, playtosamsung, etc. but none of them send my Note's screen to my Samsung smart TV regardless of what I am browsing.

There has to be an app that transfers anything and everything from a phone's screen to a smart y'all screen seamlessly, but I have not located it. Wifidirect connects devices but while trying to share anything, it doesn't show the wifidirect connected devices.

So, please do not suggest any of the above apps again, but some apps which really work. As an example, if I am streaming a video in a browser, when I go full screen, I would like to transfer the full screen video to the TV. I am hoping for a similar functionality from the phone to the TV. Allshare allows browsing from the TV but that's clunky.

Is there an app that allows the Note to be used as a wireless keyboard for the Samsung smart TV? Thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoux:
For pictures, videos and music, Allshare works perfectly for me. I have a Samsung LED Smart TV connected to the same router as the Note.

The media should be available on the device storage or SD card. You cannot do that if you are streaming media from sites like youtube.

Else get an MHL adapter and connect to TV via HDMI cable. This way you can mirror your screen exactly as it is in the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petrus44:
Hiya,

Not quite what you want to hear, but... I'm using the HDMI adapter plus an Apple BT keyboard and a BT mouse. This works great with standard ICS and standard Kernel. Play's video, edits mail etc... If you have a 23" monitor with HDMI input you will have an acceptable replacement for a desktop for web browsing/mail etc... I've tried a few ROM's/Kernels and have had a mixed bag of BT working. Latest Speedmod kernel and Latest RocketRom seem to be ok.

I know that some Samsung Smart TV's are supported by the app from the market, but sadly not mine... :( The Remote app works fine though, via WiFi.

Cheers,

Pete.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex6vasy:
First, I apologize for starting a new thread on this subject.:fingers-crossed:

I just bought my Galaxy S II and I wanna root it,but I'm a little unsure about the whole process.

I also got a VYL00M emmc chip, which is vulnerable,but I'm on 4.0.3 i9100BVLPB.

Here are my thoughts and my questions :

If I flash via ODIN the coresponding CF-root kernel.

But then do I need to flash Syiah kernel through the CWM that comes with CF kernel so I can safely wipe and avoid brickbug?:D

I hope someone can provide a little aditional information and guide me through the process:angel:

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
ICS 4.0.3 firmware is not affected by the brick bug.

However, you still need to post your ROM and kernel details. Goto Settings - About phone, and post everything you see
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex6vasy:
I should have done that from the beggining :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1.

Like i said earlier, you are safe from the brick bug because you are running 4.0.3 firmware.

The brick bug only affects 4.0.4 firmware.

2.

To ROOT your device only, you don't need to flash any kernel.

Root with this method: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex6vasy:
After that can I safely full wipe and simply install Sensation Rom ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes.

Don't forget to backup your ROM first
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex6vasy:
Ok.

I've flashed Syiah kernel through ODIN so i guess everything should be safe right now,right ?

Please confirm :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes. You are safe, Just like before you flashed Siyah kernel

Actually, you never needed to flash Siyah kernel via Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnubuRe:
Hi

I have the same phone details as the OP. a UK T-mobile running ICS 4.0.3 i9100 BVLPD

I rooted my phone the other day by the simple method in link above... BUT isn't this method of rooting limited ?

I would like to root my phone fully using an insecure kernel & Odin but i dont know where to get the correct kernel for my phone, i need an insecure & original secure kernel to do this right ?

Sorry for my nuwbness questions.

Peace
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
What are you talking about "limited" and "fully".Its either rooted or it aint.

That method doesnt give you CWM,if thats what you mean.You can just flash a custom kernel that contains CWM if you want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Isn't exynos abuse the faster way to get rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnubuRe:
Ok, my bad, i am a nubie after all :angel:. i thought i'd read somewhere that this method was limited in some way.

But now you've confused me a lil more, the thread (also in ur sig) says it does have CWM

Am i again mistaken ?

Anyway i did it the other day & have SU, downloaded T-backup and am now reading\researching on how to make full back up b4 i try a rom.

Peace
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnubuRe:
owaiga from

Cool, I made a back up in what i think is CWM and it put a 1.4GB folder on my sd-card.

Am i right in thinking i could mess up my phone, reset it or delete progs & mess with setting ...THEN as long as i can boot to recovery & CMW & load the back up it would return it back to how it is now ?

Peace
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
That is temporary cwm-not permanent.If you rebooted after flashing the 2 files......it launches stock recovery.

Anyway when your rooted/got permanent cwm you should be backing up your efs and doing a nand backup.

Then start pissing about with roms.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Yes,but watch out with your media/external sd files and the version of cwm you use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnubuRe:
Thx theunderling

I see now... so i DO need to get permanent CWM ? I'd need to flash an insecure kernel for that right (i have one ready)

Dont yet know what efs is (ill read up on it) and nand back up ? i just been doing a lil reading on that and thought the back up i'd done is the same thing, they were calling it Nandroid back up, is that different ?

Peace
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Just flash Siyah kernel in ODIN and then you will have root and CWM. Its that simple. No need for anything else at all.

I dont understand why we always have all this crap and unnecessary files/steps etc.

Connect phone to PC.

Reboot phone into download mode.

Load up ODIN.

Flash Siyah kernel.

Thats its, Once done you will have new kernel, cwm recovery, rooted system, SU, and also CWM app installed.

If you want new rom simply reboot into stock, wipe data and flash rom you want, You dont have to worry about cwm again as all custom kernels come with recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Yeah I missed your other post saying you had done the nand backup as I was in the middle of writing my reply when you posted yours.
[Windows 8 General] circleofomega:
I need a PC... ANd I want to know on what config will W8 run. I need it for basic usage, browsing, Word, and some music. But wifey needs it for some heavy 3D design work.

So was wondering what PC is this, shown in the ad? Also, I am looking for a clutter free desktop cause my current desktop is a mess to say the least. Also, a question that keeps bothering me, does the desktop need to be touch? There are a few PCs out there which are touch. But am not sure how smooth or fluid they are and all the more, how fast will they respond to touch on a W8 operating system.

So as of now, I am currently open to both possibilities, of having it touch as well as non-touch, but W8 is a must and high specs is a given.

Can you all suggest a nice OEM that has a machine checking all the boxes I mentioned?

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
You do not need touch, in fact I think it works better without it. I use windows 8 on quite a few machines including my work pc and triple monitor gaming rig.

As for spec a rule of thumb is if it runs vista or 7 you will be able to run 8. Not only that it will be much smoother. I even have it on an old laptop with Centrino processor and 2gb ram and its as smooth as anything. Also clutter is easy to clear you can just unpin stuff from the start screen then use a right click to bring back what you want. Plus you can group your programs easy as pie. If you need any help with setups just pm me I will be willing to give you any advise.

One thing to note is that if you want to handle 3d graphics its worth making sure you get a rig with a good graphics card (amd 6970 upwards), There may be better cards for 3d design I am coming from a gaming background but its a real must. If I was building I would put about 3rd budget to graphics.

I don't know much about oems as I build my own setups but dells xps laptops rock. If you want to beef up the pc and don't mind rebuilding then it is worth picking up a good ssd to install the os and programs on and leave normall hard drives for files etc. If you do that you will see your loading times cut right down. I noticed a boot diff on my laptop from 45 seconds to 7.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

I may be really wrong but that pc looks like a Lenovo idea center.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>But wifey needs it for some heavy 3D design work.

When you have a specific need, you need to be specific. Make sure that the desired system has both hardware chops and software drivers for the particular application(s) and use.

As has been said, Win8 has basically same requirements as Win7. What you're asking about is an all-in-one (AIO), which typically uses (weak) integrated graphics and is geared toward basic general uses, and may not fit the above "3D" need.

There are other options aside from ready-made AIO setups. There are compact systems using either proprietary or mini-ITX form factors that can be VESA mounted on the back of the display. This affords the same minimal footprint you seek. The trade-off with compact systems, again, is typically weak performance or storage, and needs to be considered against your intended use.

>Also, a question that keeps bothering me, does the desktop need to be touch?

That's the multi-billion dollar question that MS is trying to answer, and the public is trying to figure out. At this point, nobody knows, because Windows is in a state of transition, and I don't think even MS knows the endpoint. Metro capabilities presently don't encompass the desktop, hence its Jekyll-Hyde split personality.

Desktops have a typical upgrade cycle of 2-3 yrs. For your present cycle, you should settle on "no touch," and prep the system the same as a Win7 device. Because even when Windows get fully up to speed on touch, it will take a couple of years for the apps to be upgraded, and you can worry about it in the next upgrade cycle. This is an optimistic case that assumes "when," not "if" touch can be successful.

Touch on desktop will likely come in the form of standalone touchpads, which can be easily added to existing non-touch systems. Touch-capable displays will probably not be popular, simply for the awkward and tiring ergonomic issue of having to perpetually raising your arms off the desk.

To sum, don't worry about touch at this point.

>Can you all suggest a nice OEM that has a machine checking all the boxes I mentioned?

You need to do your own footwork, depending on your locality.
