[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidjobe:
I have a slightly less sensitive area about 1 inch to the left of the camera. The spot itself is about 1/2 long and 1/8 in deep.

Frankly what bothers me more is the yellow hue of the screen. Went to exchange it at best buy and they tell me they will not longer carry the 32 gig model?is this because of quality issues I wonder?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adneo:
Sorry for the late reply, could not reply earlier as i was travelling.

For everyone's benefit i have uploaded a video i took of the issue on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccsh8X2JyGg

Please refer to the video above and also incase you notice differences or anomalies with your note 10.1 , i suggest you take it up with Samsung.

I believe that you should get full value for your investment made in the product.

For all other people who thought i was some sort of Apple marketing exec or trolling the forums.

Please check the video and that should answer your queries.

Mate, did that test with mine and had NO dead spots... I'd take that back to the shop you bought it from as that is ridiculous... I did one better than you though, I tested the entire screen from outside all the way in. As I said, no problems. That looks like a warranty job to me...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adneo:
Thanks for your time for checking and reverting.

I know its a manufacturing defect and detected the same issue in 3 replacement units.

The only common factor in all of them was that they were made in Vietnam.

I have submitted a refund claim , as i am totally pissed with their quality control.

It for the benefit of other people who might still be in the dark that they actually dont have a fully functional product.

We need to take issues up like this straight to the companies as they take us for granted.

You know what the samsung rep told me when i told them about the different colour saturations and quality of reproduction between the replacement tablets?

"That cannot be taken as a defect as its a difference in perception"

This is a level of quality control atleast by Samsung India.

Looking forward to others' feedback.

ok my tab is very good quality but when i touch the pen when i didnt use it , it make a sound , and i have light bleed in the lower left corner behind home button but it didnt bother me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chookmeister69:
I don't think your Made in Vietnam theory is necessarily valid. I just bought mine today (I'm in Kenya and it's made in Vietnam) and I'm extremely happy with it. I watched your video and my entire screen is perfect. No pen hassles at all.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
The less sensivity near the camera is I think more an issue with some interferance from an internal part like the camera or may be some wireless transmitter is present over there
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adneo:
Yes you are right.The wifi module resides in that area.The weird part is the sensitivity was ok when i opened the box and till the time i didnt switch on wifi.The moment i started using wifi i noticed that area on the screen getting warm and the sensitivity issues popped up.

It was the same for all the replacements.

Ideally there should some kind of em shield to enable wifi operation without obstructing the magnetic digitizers.

Thats why i am so pissed at samsung's QC.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adneo:
I had come across a mail to CEO link in the samsung website, out of curiosity i had fired a mail from the link stating the situation i was in.

To my surprise i got the below reply:

Dear Mr. Ghosh,

Samsung Namaskar!

We thank you for contacting CEO’s office and for giving us a chance to assist you.

In reference to your mail regarding the Samsung Handset, we would like to inform you that we do a quality testing and quality checks before bringing the product into the market. However there may be a case in which Handset may have some minor problem and for that Samsung provides a year warranty.

Our main focus is on the quality of the product that we launch in the market. However we have acknowledged & accepted the feedback given by you.

Please be advised that your feedback/suggestions are important to us and are being reviewed carefully.

Thanking and assuring you for best services always.

With warm regards,

CEO’s Office

Samsung India Electronics Pvt. Ltd.

I am not sure as to what the person's capacity is who drafted the response, but he has used the CEO's office signature.

It seems samsung is more concerned about the quality of a product before launching it into market and has not stated anything in the reply which talks about quality control in day to day production lines.

The reply goes to extent of mentioning the warranty provided.

I always thought that any reputed company's target should be that customer need not invoke the warranty of their products.

Its also noteworthy that in the reply the defects , which included the difference in colour reproduction, and volume levels from the external speaker and the spen issue i had discussed earlier, are referred to as minor defects.

It seems Samsung India atleast doesnt bother about their customer losing their time and trust as they run around with their samsung products to get them fixed by invoking warranty.

My point is the Note 10.1's USP was buisness productivity and rather than ensuring that the company is saying, "oh well there is a defect and we dont care if you gotta miss a meeting or draw schematics on paper , if you want the product to work you need to run around our service centers as we gave you a 1 year warranty!!!!"

I am looking forward to your views on this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmr5019:
Hey guys, mainly asking for your opinions so just let them fly.

I currently have a Thunderbolt and my contract is up at the end of November now I am trying to decide what to do next. I was fully anticipating going with the nexus 4 (I was prepared to never buy a non nexus device as long as Google keeps making them). Now that the nexus 4 will not be on Verizon and switching to at&t isn't an option since I get 25% off my bill through work, what would you guys do if you were in my situation? The Gnex is going to be cheap as hell when am eligible for an upgrade and am still considering it, should I be? Do you think Gnex development will slow down dramatically any time soon? I'd also hate to buy a phone with outdated hardware...do you guys run into hardware limitations withe the Gnex?

The only other phone that intrigues me is the galaxy s3. Mainly because it is so popular that I see there being a huge development opportunity there? I looked through the thread for the GS3 and it looks like there plenty of aosp roms and it looks to me like there will be quick updates for it as well. The biggest things I hate about the GS3 are the hardware buttons, I love the customisable soft keys in aosp and think that hard keys are so pointless anymore.

I'm pretty much against moto but if you really think I should look at something they have to offer, let me know.

Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated, thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
My advice? Wait and watch. See how the N4 actually pans out as a device itself. It could be a hardware flop for all we know at this point. There were certainly fun hardware issues with the Gnex.

Then wait a bit longer for the HTC DNA. It might turn out to be a barnburner, or something to burn the barn with.

Then make a decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATMOSF3AR:
I'm not sure if the Moto RAZR i or HD is a good option or not for you.

Its up on you dude. go out & explore something new and one more thing that the GS3 is a pretty good option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I would wait if I where u. If u really need a new phone I would say the galaxy as 3 is a good choice. I have the gnex with Verizon and I love it. I dont have no issues at all my signal is always good i dont drop any calls or never go into 3g lol. (Must be my area i live in) Only problem I see u having is the storage capacity. The gnex on Verizon is now offered with only 16GB. No more 32GB. But as stated before, wait it out a few more months and see what's around the corner. If anything get a used nexus from craigslist for like 250 bucks to hold u over. That way up don't waist your upgrade on a phone u might regret
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
25% off of Verizon's prices is still more expensive then Straight Talk or T-Mobile prepaid.... why not get a Nexus 4 anyway and stop signing contracts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The answer for most people? Coverage.

Coverage, Coverage, Coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonbruin:
If you have a Thunderbolt, that means you still have unlimited data right? So if you're planning on buying a Nexus anyway, you might as well just find an unlocked one (i've seen used ones for ~$150-250) so that you won't have to upgrade. If I remember correctly (and I might be wrong), but Verizon only takes away the unlimited data when you try to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davisbs999:
No offense, but then he'd be stuck with T-Mobile's network and current lack of LTE. I root for T-Mobile; however, I was miserable when I was using them in suburban Denver, due to relatively inconsistent/slow data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
You can use AT&T's towers via Straight Talk if T-Mobile isn't great for your area. AT&T's HSPA+ network is pretty expansive.

Also, he wouldn't be "stuck" with anything - he could take the SIM card out and flush it down the toilet if the service bothers him. That's the beauty of not having a contract ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davisbs999:
I had the gnex on Verizon and loved it, except for one crucial issue-battery life. Sure, this was remedied somewhat by getting spare batteries, but this got to be a pain in the ass.

I currently have the Verizon SIII and love it (I find the dev community to be more than adequate). Yet I agree that it is worth waiting for the inevitable next greatest thing. The DNA does look to be badass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmr5019:
Yeah the main reason why I stay with Verizon is coverage and my discount. At&t is the only other viable option, all the others are spotty at best around where I live.

Yeah I never thought of trying to get a gnex off contract. That would probly be the best option seeing that I'm getting married in June and will most likely have to revamp my plan for me and the wife anyway.

My friend just got the s3, he doesn't root or anything like I do but I can still bug him about the battery life at least.

My Thunderbolt has spoken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iArtisan:
Step 1: Buy Straight Talk AT&T Sim

Step 2: Buy Nexus 4

Step 3: Drop Verizon

Step 4: Save money

Step 5: ????

Step 6: ... CONTINUE TO SAAAAVE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmr5019:
I've only ever dealt with Verizon so can you include a few more details? Isn't straight talk sprint, but you're saying at&t sim?

My Thunderbolt has spoken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
The only way I'll be buying a Nexus 4 is if it's gifted to me.

I honestly want to wait it out for MWC and HTC's 2013 lineup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmr5019:
I'm not real big on the next best thing, the S3 would be in that category for me. Do you stick with touchwiz ROMs or aosp (or aokp)?

I have a sour taste in my mouth for HTC and I'm sick of waiting. I thought I waited for the next best thing with the Tbolt when I was coming from the OG droid. Samsung at least gets it right with their flagship devices. They don't come out with almost an identical phone but with more bugs worked out 3 months later.

I'll wait till Christmas and see what all comes but that's as long as I'll wait.

My Thunderbolt has spoken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
How do you buy something gifted to you?

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Straight talk offers an AT&T SIM that gives you unlimited* everything for $45/mo. I think it's actually their most popular plan.

*2-5gb of data before they start to nag, depending on how the stars align for you. Since, you know, unlimited is never actually unlimited in the US anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
If you are only with verizon because of the discount, try calling up another phone company and see if they can match the offer or sweeten the pot for you. My brother gets a corporate discount with Bell (here in Canada) and so he called up Rogers (who he's with), and told them that he can get such and such plan for such and such price and asked if he can match it otherwise he'd switch. I forget the specifics of what he got but he was able to get a discount because of it.

Otherwise, just wait like many others said. Perhaps you can get a sweeter phone than the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
don't be annoying like that :p

To OP: I'm in a similar situation actually, except that I use a GNex right now instead of a TurdBolt. Nobody knows if a Nexus 4 will come to VZN, but I'd probably just buy a GNex until something better rolls around later. And if you do have unlimited data, DO NOT UPGRADE! I cannot fathom losing my unlimited data at this point of my spoiled-data-consumption life. And the development for the VZN GNex is pretty healthy actually. Nothing to complain about, especially when you know you have a reliable connection at the end of the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
I'm in agreement there, I dumped my tbolt for a gnex and it was a huge step up. You can grab one for fairly cheap off contract now too. I have little to complain about besides battery being a moderate problem. It still beats the tbolt for battery life by quite a bit though, and has given me better data reception. My main urge to upgrade is called 'upgraditis'. For now I'll be trying to treat the symptoms.

The default to unlock the lockscreen is swiping right, but I'm just so use to swiping down and it wont let me switch it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaxp3r:
Prior, I did a search on Google (most results were on forums that are blocked at work) and on here (most results were about benchmarks, which don't matter too much to me).

That said, I'm just curious if anyone has any firsthand experience with both of these tablets. I've been debating getting one for some time and I was on Newegg earlier and saw that the TF300T (32 GB) was on sale for $299. I texted my uncle about it, who is an even bigger tech buff than I, and he told me that he was thinking about selling his lightly used Prime (also 32 GB) for $250.

Some of the search results that I found mentioned something about the WiFi being dodgy in the Prime, so I was wondering if anyone could provide insight on that specifically as well. A video "battle" that I watched basically summed it up that, to the everyday user (IE not a power user) the TF300T is essentially a plastic version of the Prime.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
The ability of the primes screen to go to 600 nits of brightness is one really great thing. I can use it on a very sunny day no problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jotha:
Well, I have both.

GPS is much better on TF300 (nearly non-existent on Prime)

Wifi is similar for me (if there is a difference TF300 is a tad better)

Screen is brighter on Prime

Metal finish on Prime looks better than the "golfball-plastic" of TF300. Still the TF300 does not look cheap. I have both in sleeves so that does not matter to me anyways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaxp3r:
Thanks for the responses guys. Can anyone else chime in?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dutch81:
A classmate and I both decided to get Transformers mine is a refurb Prime and his is a new TF300. Wifi his is slightly better but both pick up the same signals his is just a bit stronger. Gps his locks faster than mine when I don't use the dongle with the dongle mines just a bit faster. Apps if it doesn't work on his then it won't on mine or vice-verse. Aesthetically people like the prime better due to the metal back but the metal back does scratch easily and the TF300's plastic back we found that scratches are harder to notice but if both are in a case then neither issue matters. We have swapped devices for a week and neither of us could really tell we weren't using our own as far as OS and APP experience went. This was prior to me be unlocked and rooted I chose to do this as I had a limited warranty he has yet to do this so we can see a difference now but that's a risk he hasn't decided to do yet.

If I was in your situation I would go with the Prime if the Wifi and GPS(with or without dongle) were functional and use the saved $50 dollars on apps/accessories I have personally spent that much on just apps in my 2 months of ownership.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jaxp3r:
Thanks Dutch, some of the things I had read just had me wary of the Prime.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Hi all here is my situation I've had my phone now for about 18 months or maybe a bit longer it wont charge to 100% every single time sometimes does sometimes doesn't. Phone turns itself off even at 50% power left then when re-started shows 0%, wait a while, maybe 10 or 20 mins then re-start again sometimes shows more power than before (today went off @ 56% came back on @ 84%, go figure). Back in the old days of nicads and ni-mh batteries there is a phenomenon called "recovery" where they magically get recharged from "sub-space" and then they last a bit longer.

up untill the past week I thought li-ion batteries were immune from the phenomenon of "recovery" but they have now showed me to not know as much as I thought....

Oh, the other dead (pardon the pun :p) give away that my battery is dying, is the fact that it has started to buldge and is now a little hard to get out of the phone lucky for me *touch wood, its not getting hot while charging, cause u know these things can go BANG and make big damages....

Just thought I'd share some wisdom of something new I've learned, who knows maybe some else can learn something new too...

:D

P.s. I've already ordered a battery set from eBay, 2 * 1500 mAh plus wall charger for AU$ 10 +$4 quick delivery... will have to see if those batteries are better than the stock batteries.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
Sorry to hear, but my stock battery's the best. It still provides advertised hours of stock, sometimes even more on custom ROMs.

But on the contrary, I did use two other third-party batteries, both from eBay, both from Hong Kong with the dreaded 6-week shipping to Canada. The first one lasted fine after the first year, the second one died on the day I used it @ 30%. I threw it in the snow (I think that's illegal and dangerous, oops) in rage. But the first one, as it aged its very short third-party imitative age, began to bulge, like yours.

I stopped using it and placed it in my wallet pocket as an emergency battery for whenever I'd really need it. Since my wallet is always on my person and I live in cold-cold-Canada, the battery was always warm from body heat, something I believed damaged it to the point of disrepair.

A few months ago on a trip to the States, I had to use it, but unsurprisingly it lasted for around half an hour at every charge and would never charge > 16%. Ouch.

I'm now back to one battery, but it suits me. The only thing I need now from my Legend is SMS and Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Regarding difficulties in removing the battery, have you tried the red lever? My bulgy battery was bulged for months before I figured that thing out, so I always either had to use it as a primary battery, or spend a few hours periodically shaking it out in a very gross, suggestive hand gesture before it got out ENOUGH to push the battery out. Pain in the bum! I found it, and it was a godsend from HTC, them probably knowing we'd use third-party batteries. <3
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Yes, thanks for the red lever tip, although I did know that one already ;) I could not use my finger to pull the red tab/lever down as the battery was a bit tight, I had to get a flat screw driver to latch onto the red tab to pull it down as it hurt like hell trying to use my finger.
