[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I think breaking the current pixel barrier on 7 inch screens is something that all of the manufacturers are struggling with, especially with price expectations being what they are now compared to when the 7.7 was first released.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Bandage:
product sheet revealed also...Quad-Core 1.6 Ghz. Exynos, I'd imagine.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/0...-galaxy-note-8-galaxy-young-galaxy-x-cover-2/

My guess...the slightly smaller battery & Super Clear LCD will put it right around $299-$349 price point
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jtskier11:
Any thoughts on how that display will compare to AMOLED?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Bandage:
Comparison testing has shown AMOLED screens to have higher contrasts, deeper blacks, etc. Also better outside viewing & power consumption.

Not to say that Sony's Super Clear LCD is terrible...on the contrary, it can really shine in the right scenarios. I really think price point is the sole reason the Note 8.0 will be featuring it.

I'd be willing to place money on this being a sub $300 device
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
they should've made two of these, one aimed for the low-mid market (w/ LCD) and the one aimed for people with deep pocket

seriously, this is not a replacement for out 7.7 it's just another Note, just like the note 10.1 was made not as a replacement for Tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rEVOLVE:
Too bad, I was hoping for a 7.7 Note w/ the SAMOLED+ screen. I wouldn't even care as much about higher resolution, as I'm fine w/ the 7.7's and same specs as Note2 would satisfy me. What I do want is the stylus w/ airview, & MultiView as I sometimes wish my Note2 and 7.7 were one device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
^likewise, but what sammy did was lower down the bar just to compete with a lower spec'd iPad Mini, even our old 7.7 will whip the ipad easily, I've seen the mini, compared it side by side with my 7.7 and immediately, there's a striking difference in screen quality and resolution.

Then I remembered, the Galaxy tab 10.1 2 is another "DOWNGRADE" from the original 10.1

hey sammy should start making a new low budget tablet line tagged under NEBULA series LOL
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Masterface7:
well... at least it still has the earpiece?

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/01/24/leaked-samsung-galaxy-note-8-0/

honestly i am not sure who to blame here. Google decided to use a horrible ui for all tablets from 4.2 forward essentially using just a enlarged phone ui.

So in response samsung just made a huge phone hardware...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I have one question, why is it that they come out with these great specs but the one thing they drop the ball on is the front and rear cameras? The newer galaxy phones have superior cameras so why not the tabs?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
after seeing the specs, i wouldn't even will think to replace my tab with this one.

Reasons not to buy G Note 8.0

1. no amoled screen !! resolution is the same on a bigger screen, meaning pixels per inch will be lower.

currently the trend says it has to be over 250 to 330 for tabs.

2. Battery will be worse on LCD screen and quad core processor that i don't need its power, and you make it smaller capacity the GT 7.7 !!

3. Hardware Keys instead of Sof Keys !! are you Kidding me ?!!!

4. all placitic design, i love metalic back of GT 7.7 it makes you feel premuim :)

5. the white bezel isn't great like the black bezel next to black amoled screen.

black amoled screen with a black bezel makes you feel like it's end to end display which is very nice design.

-----

what i did like is, quad core processor, the dual core is enough for jelly bean so far you, there's no applications to use such powerful processor so far.

2 gigabyte ram is a lot, especially that android is excellent in ram management and swapping.

Final conclusion:

Don't buy it :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
It looks like a giant phone! Samsung has no good design people working at the company, honestly I have not seen one good design out of this company that is unique usually a copy or borrows a lot from other devices in the market.

I feel the only thing this note 8 will have going for it is price, if that is too high then it is doomed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Masterface7:
I actually really like the tab 7.7 design. I wish it had a smaller bezel but meh still an awesome product, I wish i could open it up and just upgrade the processor like a desktop.

I am just gonna reply to 3 because i was thinking about it. I am normally 100% against hardware keys on a tablet because they just make the overall dimensions larger, however android 4.2 has so many bad gui elements I feel they are almost justified. The software keys take up a ton of on screen space as well as they are horribly located in landscape orientation. In this one case i am alright with the hardware keys only because it is better than the current alternative.

a normal thumb has no chance of easily hitting that button.

in summary i don't like hardware buttons but i Hate the forced 4.2 gui so samsung getting rid of that bottom bar entirely is welcome in my book.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] whitehawk66:
meh

Looks like cheap garbage.

Long live 7.7 form factor!

(With processor upgrade in a brushed black aluminum casing of course)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
it's a bad UI design from google, i think samsaung won't follow google with the button placement changes.

i criticized google once they launch 4.2 for that, and i think cyanogen mod can replace the software keys and notification of 4.1 instead of 4.2 is someone asked them. or even make it in the settings menu.

but anyway software keys are better, you can even theme it with a good looking keys :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vauxhallastra:
Regarding the screen bazel, I have to disagree with you,if the bazel was any smaller,i would just be pressing the screen too much in the wrong place and making more mistakes.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I liked the design of the 7.7 as well, this is why I got one last year. Would be nice if a new 7.7 came out. Sammobile did mention something special at the show, I don't think it is the new S4 since that should have its own show in march apparently.

So perhaps this surprise at MWC in Barcelona will be a new amoled tablet from samsung? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
Within a few months Apple will come with "the most amazing new iPad mini" with Retina display.

And Samsung who had at least one year lead on this format and technology will just look dumb with their ugly Note 8"

Honestly Samsung what are you thinking? It's just sad
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rathian:
If you can make calls and text on the note 8.0, i'm sold... i have a tab 7.7 and a note 1.... i must say, combining the two would make an excellent choice... but of course the design could have been improved a bit more, but then again, with apple's lawyers eyeing and sueing everything that moves it would have been left with not much choice to design the device they way that it is... i have not much issue with that....

hardware buttons definitely understandable, but it isnt too hard for the software developers at samsung to modify lines of code in the android source to make the normal tablet UI come back (it has been proven to be do-able and the lines of code has already been exposed)....

Phablet UI is the worst step google's android team has taken... they have gotten as lazy as apple in terms of pushing for a good UI for specific ranges of devices...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
I think our tablet is an expemtion of that 'phone ui" why? I compared ICS for 7.0 and 7.0 plus, together with the Note I ICS, ours i a bit different with more functionality

another thing to compare is the firefox browser, the one install in our device is clearly different on those first 2 tabs mentioned, those first two seems like a blown up phone while on our tablet, it feels like the browser was made for it (different tab selection for firefox, smaller fonts and address bards etc), could it be the resolution? no, I tried firefox in note II as well and it displays the one like in those other 2 tabs

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

and if this is the legendary note 8.0...

IT DOESN'T HAVE LED Flash T_T. well hopefully this isn't the final product
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rathian:
If you havent been up to date with 4.2 Jelly bean, there is no more TabletUI, but a unified Phablet UI.... meaning your tablet will have the same damn UI as on a phone, with the navigation buttons smack middle (which is a pain the in ass and fingers for 10 inch tablets in landscape mode)...

but analysing the pictures, there is a noticable lack of navigation bar at the bottom and the systemUI bar at the top.... meaning to show, its hard to tell what kind of UI samsung is gonna provide on note 8.0...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haisien:
My Galaxy Note 10.1 is stuck in recovery mode and I'm not sure what to do next. Here's what happened:

After connecting to wifi, a software update was downloaded and a message asked me to install it. I accepted, because otherwise it said it would remind me in 3 hours.

I left it plugged in and went out. When I came back, there was a screen warning me of the dangers of installing a "custom OS" (?) The options were to press the volume-up to install it, or volume-down to reboot. Neither option did anything. Hard rebooting went to the same screen.

Later, I tried to charge it, but got this repeating sequence: the symbol showing a charging (but empty batter) for a couple of seconds, then a picture of the android robot with blue polyhedron thing (like here), then blank screen. A few seconds later it repeats.

Finally I try rebooting into recovery mode:

Android system recovery (3e) ... reboot system now apply update from external storage wipe data/factory reset ... MANUAL MODE -- Appling Multi-CSC... (sic) Applied the CSC-code : INU Successfully applied the multi-CSC.

Now, I don't really care whether I get the update or not, or whether I lose some data - I just really want a working phone again. I'm travelling atm, so it's a bit inconvenient. But mostly I'm asking for help to avoid making the problem worse.

So: what should I do?

It's a (unlocked) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with ICS.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulbous:
Download the full firmware for your region. Then charge it fully

Install Kies so that you get the USB drivers.

Download Odin

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded

start Odin and select the PDA,browse to the firmware and select it.

Enter download mode on the note with Power & Vol up

Make sure kies is not running

Now connect it and check that Odin finds the Note.

Press start to flash the firmware.

Don't go out while it flashes!!

to change the icon go to

system\framework

copy framework-res.apk to your computer

open it using unzip program

replace

\res\drawable-mdpi\tw_pointer_spot_hovering_spen.png

with icon you want. (in my case I made copy of it and edited using photoshop)

I did not unzip the apk. I dragged new file onto unzip program and replaced the png file.

copy the file back to system\framework using root explorer and replaced it.

it worked without problem for me but make backup just to be safe

I tried some app from store but it did nothing, just in app confirmed and after reboot came back as ware before doing anything

so the best way is trough recovery

some people says that swap should be 0, but I do not really know, mine isn't 0, it is a virtual memory and prevents some apps to be shutdown by low memory killer and maybe improves a little multitasking, I am using ics rom and eats a hell of memory so I am dreaming that not 0 swap it helps a little

I was looking for something similar to GripTight micro stand (http://joby.com/smartphones/griptight-micro-stand/) but they only have it for S3 with no plans for N2 yet. Those other wire-wrap ones, like Breffo, will not hold it securely, and a regular stand you lean your phone on is also not what I'm looking for. Definitely would like something like that GripTight which clamps to the phone with a minimum bulk and can be used as a kick stand or phone holder while I'm in bed watching or reading. My current case has a kickstand which I use with my finger through it to hold the phone, sort of like an alternative to FlyGrip, etc. I will be switching to another case without a kickstand and don't want to attach anything to it permanently like that flygrip or bunker ring, but rather have something I can clamp on and remove easily. Any idea, please?

They keyboard is a Logitech BT keyboard made for Android 3.0+, and the mouse is just a wireless Logitech (I used a few different ones actually).

Hardcore PC? Maybe in '05 it was considered "hardcore" in reality you can run it flawlessly on a dual core, as long as the GPU is adequate. Smart phones are a different story, but I expect with a Tegra 3 or alternative it would be possible to emulate a less intensive game at a feasible frame rate.
