[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
No. I own a few Samsung devices (TV, couple of tabs, s2), but when I did a quick check I own a myriad of devices from other manufacturers too. LG, Panasonic, Sony, Archos, Microsoft, Lenovo, HTC to name the ones within eyeline.

I buy tech that works for me, suits my needs and crucially is the right price. Years ago I would buy the latest gadget because I felt I must have it, only to be disappointed and left feeling I had wasted my money. Now I decide a price for what I think a device is actually worth, in my mind the wifi note 10.1 is not worth more than £300 (no tablet is) so when it went on sale at £400 I held off from buying. Was about to buy a Nexus 10 or a 3G Nexus 7 to replace my 3G OG Tab 7. Then a few months back the Note 10.1 dropped to £318 at Tesco added to that was a £50 cashback from Samsung. I also managed to use a few codes I had lying around and ended up paying £230 for it.

Have to say though, after using it, I don't think id have been too disappointed if I'd have paid £400 initially. :laugh:

Also, to the screen res _issue_ what exactly is the problem? I have used the spin doctored _retina_ display next to the Nexus 10 next to the Note10.1 and you know what. After the initial oooh that looks nice, or as i call it the 12 year old girl moment, once I set them all up to my liking I barely noticed the screen. Was too busy actually using the tablet to see IF it was the one i would splash my cash on. I guess beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder.

Build quality? All my devices end up in a case anyway, but I wish someone would point out the glaringly obvious flaw because (having used most of the so-called quality tablets) I dont find a problem with the build quality.

I would recommend this tablet to anyone. Will I buy another Samsung? I am looking at the note 2 because having used the stylus I do not want another stylus free device! That _bloke_ who said stylus was dead was wrong. In fact, it outlived him :rolleyes: So unless Google or whoever releases a stylus device with all the functionality of the note then it may have to be Samsung for the foreseeable future.

Oh, and Allshare. Damn you gloriously converged and ticks most of the boxes working devices, looks like I've been caught in a Sammy spun web! Man, IF they bring out sTunes I'm heading for the nearest cliff :eek:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] da.trute:
I always try to remain objective with new Samsung product releases but this is becoming increasingly difficult as they are so good, I know now a Galaxy S3, a note 10.1 and a Samsung Smart TV :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
I own a few Samsung Items too, the fact is if its a quality product then its worth the money to get.

The trouble is that these companies get too good a reputation then start to stuff around with the quality because the almighty dollar beckons seductively. They start to loose they're quality and coast along on they're reputation. They also tend to price items to the brand rather than for what it is.

If and when Samsung slips up and slides into the that stagnant muck and another phoenix company rises from the ashes I'll change to the best tech available that works how I want and need.

After all, its not only what they produce but what we as the consumer deserve at the best price possible...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Haldi4803:
nope! i'd never buy a sgs3! the only other thing I'd buy from sasmung would be a ssd 840 pro ^^ tough I heard there are some problems with them!

maybe a Samsung tv but only if it beats the competitors! not because of the name.

or maybe a ship... or a self firing gun... one never knows!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] timkd127:
I consider myself an Android fan boy. It just so happens that at the moment Samsung is producing quality high end products that run android. I have an sgs3 and a note 10.1, and I'm extremely happy with both of them. But I would have no problem jumping ship if another company came out with a machine that I liked.

In my opinion HTC has the best build quality. I don't like the Samsung touchwiz as it feels cheap in my opinion!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] COA4178:
I am a samsung fan and more of an apple hater
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jappy01:
not really a fanboy of samsung.

but being an android newbie, the Note 10.1 gave me a good platform to start my shift from ios to android.

with the basic quad core, 2 gb ram and external drive, these are the must haves for a tablet for me.

the screen resolution is already ok with me, coming from an ipad 1 user.

from the iphone to the ipad, i've always wanted the bigger screen for my mobile needs. went to the point that i even converted the ipad 1 into a fully functioning phone. too bad the bluetooth headset never worked, coz if it did, i think i wont be enticed to move from it to the note. but good thing apple did not make it possible for the bluetooth headset to work, which made me get the note 10.1.

using the note for the past weeks, i cannot complain. what i read before is exactly what i am getting, plus more.

i am happy with my purchase and if this unit can last me like my old ipad 1 did, then ill be happy about it.

lastly, its my choice, whatever my friends and family say whenever they see me with the giant phone. =)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pacificwing:
I have to give Samsung props for being one of the few android manufactures to break from the mold and try something new. Everyone else seems to be just copying the ipad. Granted, Samsung is no stranger to stealing ideas from Apple (lawsuit anyone?), but one could argue that Apple stole those ideas from someone else. This is a day and age where you are likely to get sued for even releasing any consumer electronics, regardless of if it is copied or not. It is not a good market for innovation, so I have to give acknowledgement when I see it.

The cost of the galaxy note 10.1 is really high, despite the cheap plastic feel and the low resolution. The saving grace is the s-pen, which I have a feeling makes up for a good chuck of the manufacturing and licensing costs. That being said, even their tablets without the wacom feels cheap.

I have the galaxy note 2, and that inspired me to buy the galaxy note 10.1 I don't think I would have touched Samsung if not for the s-pen. I too would like to see other tablets embrace the non-capacitive stylus interface. Trying to use a stylus on a capacitive screen is a joke.

The proprietary connector is an insult. I can understand the need for a proprietary charger (given the high amperage and strict voltage requirement), but not including a micro-usb port is just stupid. Samsung is playing in the water with Sony and Apple by merging everything into one singular format that they control. The fact is, they don't stand a chance. There are too many big sharks in that pool already. If they were interested in customer loyalty, they would embrace open standards rather than try to force their customers into a proprietary standard.

I also wish Samsung would get their crap together when it comes to software. The entire s-pen suite is a jumbled mess, with bugs that have existed for way too long, and features that get in the way. I wish Samsung would take it more seriously, since we're not likely to get any better third party stylus software until the other manufacturers embrace this tech.

I enjoy the note 2 and note 10.1 for now, but I have no loyalty to Samsung. This simply are the only player in the stylus game right now (Lenovo's offering barely counts), so they can afford to slack off and neglect their customers. It isn't going to win them any points though..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
Even sad part is that you can't even find the accessories they want you to buy.

Samsung is a joke
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Has the Note turned me into a Samsung fanboy?

Nope, the Galaxy S and SII did... the Notes (both the OG Note and the Note 10.1) simply widened the gap between Samsung and the rest :)

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

LOL

For my OG Note I have the leather pouch, the HDMI adaptor, the USB host cable, 3 additional batteries and 2 desktop battery chargers. ALL of them original Samsung accessories.

My car dock is from Brodit because is better than the original one (it attaches to the dashboard instead of the windscreen) but I can find the Samsung one very easily.

For my Note 10.1 3G I have the desktop stand/charger, the HDMI adaptor, the USB and SD adaptors and an additional data/charging cable. ALL of them original Samsung accessories.

The bag I use is from Tucano because I like it better than the original leather pouch but I can find it very easily.

I am also about to buy a Samsung Bluetooth S-Pen and THIS one is less easy to find and by less easy I mean that I had the choice of "only" 3 European sellers on eBay (from the UK, Germany and Italy)...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] SteveYorks:
As the OP it's good to hear that no one seems to be blindly following one manufacturer, like can happen elsewhere!

I do have a lot of respect for Samsung, where they have come from, where they are going, and the innovations they have brought along the

way (thanks for putting stereo speakers on the front of mi tablet!).

I never really got along with touchwiz on my phones, probably because it doesn't have the beauty of Sense, but I think its fits perfectly in

the the 10" screen. It just seems ideal as it doesn't get in the way. Also as someone else pointed out previously, vanilla Android can be a

bit too barren, if I had that it would mean having to get a skin on it.

The Note 10 isn't perfect, but then nothing is. But I think they have got much more right than wrong with this tablet. As regards build quality, if

anyone gave me a choice of a metal bodied Note or a plastic one, for the same price, I'd take the plastic every time. It's better ergonomics

to have something comfortable, lightweight and not cold to the touch. I have no problem with build quality as I treat my tablet as a tablet,

not a hammer or whatever. The life cycle of my tablet is spent going from the carpet, when its on charge, to my lap, when using it, and that's

about it, it's more that solid enough for its daily grind. I'm quite sure that when it comes to upgrade time (probably a Note 2) it will still be in

the great condition its in now. I think metal would show tiny scratches much more.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Phoneguy589:
Since I had the Skyrocket I've been a fanboy I guess. They got it right with the SGS3 as far as making it uniform across the world in respects to size and shape. I think the Note 10.1 ifs the same size/shape as the tab if I'm not mistaken which means aftermarket accessories well be more diverse.

I do wish the charging port was on its side so I can charge it while in a portfolio case. Not something that is a big deal. The fact that it can function as a phone is sweet. I don't use it as one much but it is convenient when I'm out, I just forward my calls to my tablet and my Bluetooth syncs right up.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xdapao3:
I would choose a "plastic version" over a metal one even if it cost MORE!!

It's so much nicer to the touch (HATE the feel of metal in the hand) and it's so much more durable!!

It's ludicrous to hear people raving about the "superior, quality materials" of their metal/full glass devices (mostly Apple garbage owners) and then see them slap a case over those P.O.S. the minute they buy them to prevent them from shattering/scratching/denting like hell... LMAO!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nfinity:
Quite the opposite, actually.

First off, let it be known that I LOVE the Note 10.1. I use it for my Engineering studies, and it makes for the nearly perfect schooling device. But when it comes to Android devices, I generally strive for pure Google. I own the US 8013 version and, as I'm sure you're aware, it has yet to receive the JB update which was (essentially) promised by Sammy at the time of release. This isn't the first time Sammy's missed a deadline. The first of the galaxy line were all a mess when it came to updates. I want to own a device that KNOW will be supported with future updates, and right now I'm firmily in the "Unsure" category. I was kind of spoiled with the Nexus S 4G with official updates, and expect no less of any other devices I own now or in the future, but Sammy just isn't holding up their end of the deal... yet.

I just hope they decide to keep their word, and hopefully support the device further. Every other Note device (Including other versions of the Note 10.1) appear to be receiving their attention.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] conan1600:
Ive always respected the samsung products ive owned but i wouldnt say im a fanboy. I will put my money where i feel i can get the most performance. This 10.1 n8013 came with jelly bean 4.1.1 and i hope for more updates soon but the honest truth is ... it works for me like it is now so i can be patient for a while.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] aydc:
It has not turned me into a fanboy of anything, but after the horrors of Asus Transformer Infinity, this tablet feels wonderful, so I'm thankful to Samsung for bringing the joy of tablets back into my life.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
There's a big debate going on in the N4 forum about the signifance of it and Nexus in general. In short; to the majority of the Android world, Samsung and TW are Android based on their sales volume and market share. You might find the below interesting. And it just came out today that Samsung sold 60MM smartphones in Q4; that's 20MM a month. Their YOY growth for the quarter was 75% while the smartphone market (including Apple) grew 35%. During that same period HTC posted its lowest earnings ever. At that rate of market share shift for all intents and purposes Samsung

is

Android. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] freedomispopular:
My first Samsung was the OG Note. I got the Note 10.1 as soon as I could, and have since upgraded to the Note 2. Oh, and I do have a Samsung Blu-Ray drive in my PC. I've had nothing but good experiences. I've always been a big fan of rooting and CM, but I don't really care anymore. My devices are stable, smooth, and get amazing battery life, and TouchWiz has matured to the point where pretty much all the functionality I liked from CM and various third party apps is now baked in. The S-pen has always been the main selling point for me. I'm loving that there's all these "phablets" coming out now, but as they all lack digitizer input, I'm not interested. I'd consider other manufacturers if they made something that appealed to me, and I've gotta say, the W8 Pro tablets have me drooling, but those are a little pricey right now, not to mention the poor battery life and losing the ability to sync notes between my devices. I'll probably stick with Samsung devices until somebody else makes something comparable, and I'm probably more likely to consider Samsung-made PC hardware or TV in the future if I'm ever in the market for something, but I'm certainly not blindly loyal to them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ugotproblemz:
nope. if anything it makes me hate samsung even more. Promised jelly bean before the year ends, and yet did not deliver. Dont get me wrong, like i said, note 10.1 is a GREAT device, but it can be better with jelly bean....thy just been dragging this update foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. =/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
I started with the s3 then saw the note 10.1 has the pen and wacom digitizer so just had to buy it and really happy with both.

They are at the moment the best things I own, I'd love to have a smart tv too but bit put off by a story I read that hackers are able to use the camera that is built into it so doubt I'll get one.

I was always a fan of nokia mobiles until they moved onto touch screens and own an n8 which is just complete rubbish so bought the s3 as my first venture into android and I've become a fan

I'm happy at the moment and don't really see any point in upgrading until they come out with something that makes me go wow as much as my note does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheNetwork:
On my Infuse, there were always several issues with ported ROMs. There would be an insanely annoying bug where you would have no audio on the first call after a boot. They also (at least on my phone) always messed up when I entered a PIN longer than 4 numbers. It would just say "Incorrect PIN" even though it was correct.

So before I start sharing more lonely stories, do ports work fine on this phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ainen:
I haven't stuck with anything except CleanROM but the only reason is because I use a lot of TouchWiz features. I've tried most of the other ROMs and there weren't any bugs in any of them (that I noticed). They all seemed to work perfect. I've flashed many ROMs and never seen so many that just seemed to work right out of the box. The best advice I can say is find one you wanna try, make a full backup, and try it out.

I came from infuse too. I remember that bug. Paranoid and cm10 dont fully utilize the s pen. It loses page buddy and hover pointer. But it is super fast. I bought this phone for the full feature. So only full ports seem fine. What features do you care to lose or not.

So, i have a rooted gnex, [Toro] and had been running Eclipse (a 4.1 build from october) without any problems. Suddenly, I started getting bootloops on it. It'd start up. Load the boot animation. I'd get to the homescreen and reboot. Again and again. It said was the date was december 31, 1999. Pulled out the battery. Still had bootlooping.

At first I tried to see if I could just pull most of my stuff off of there first (I already backed it up a couple weeks ago, so not much loss. So, I have ubuntu 12.04, and did a adb pull /sdcard - said insufficient permissions for device.

After reading some threads here, I figured that I could restore my nandroid backup that I did last week.

so, to be safe, I rebooted to recovery (clockwork 6.0.1.0)

I wiped data in CM , wiped cache,

wiped davlik cache.

restored nandroid backup from last week.

---- that resulted in a bootloop to the nexus animation.

so, knowing that I had the paranoid android rom 2.99r1 and the gapps (I was going to flash it last week and never got around to it..) on my sdcard, I followed the instructions in that thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1712954

Performed a factory reset in recovery (isn't the same as a data wipe ?!)

then flashed pa 2.99r1

then flashed gapps

then wiped davlik cache, then cache.

rebooted....

Paranoid Android installation screen comes up. As soon as I hit start (on the installation screen), it restarts !

I tried again, returns to the installation screen, and if you hit start for installation or try the emergency call button, it reboots again :confused:
