[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] padesy:
just wondering if the release of Microsoft surface Windows 8 pro will render all the Android tablets outdated...

what would be the fate of g note 10.1, when the surface hits the shelf Feb 9th? Will you dish your note?

let's talk about its pro and cons
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JJEgan:
Will it be the finished article is the usual MS new release question .

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] alexx910:
First of all, windows 8 sucks.

Ring out, Galaxy Note 10.1 is still the winner. Dont see anything useful in the surface pro and win8. too complicated for me as a win7 user, and the surface pro is too expensive. I still dont regret that I have bought the note 10.1

There's nothing to discuss about.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
I don't like Windows 8 at all. This is the first Windows OS that I haven't updated my home systems to as soon as they are available. And it's not a matter of cost since I have access to 10 licenses at no cost. I installed it on my laptop and tried to use it for a few weeks and went back to 7.

While I think it's an OS that's more suitable for a tablet or phone than a desktop, I still think it's awful. I just think MS made a huge mistake with this thing.

IOW, my Note isn't going anywhere in the near future. And when it goes, it won't be for a Surface anything.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BBlax:
Yes. The gnote wasn't that good of a tablet anyways and the only thing appealing about it was the wacom digitizer, in which case the Surface Pro has it outclassed because you can run full fledged applications such as photoshop on it. ARM tablets are toys compared to x86 tablets but it in the future you'll still see low cost tablets from the Nexus series being popular.

Really even atom tablets today does tremendously more than what $500 android tablets are capable off and they often cost only $50 to a $100 more. And with incoming Haswell it'll address any negatives such as battery life. But with that being said atom tablets are already well within 10 to 11 hours of battery life while i5 variants are ranging around 5 to 7. Unless manufactures see this as a method of profit and start to include smaller and smaller batteries, (or razor thin ones) x86 tablets in the future will be comparable if not better in battery life while offering substantially more power.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] RETIEF:
simple answer.

NO.

Surely using a stylus on ps touch, is 10x better than using your finger on a surface pro. Outclassed :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] 299792458:
Which i5 tablets get 5 - 7 of actual use? As a previous owner of one who just ditched it for the note I am very curious. My biggest problem was by far sub par battery life.

I think surface pro is the future of the Windows branch of "PC" for the masses....even though it will take a couple of years before they are palatable. But unfortunately I also think that the market is much larger for casual users (those who initially only want web and email). IPad, Asus, Samsung tablets are going to become even more prevalent. 20 years ago only ultrageeks used computers, today grandma has a Facebook acct. There are so many people that mobile computing is being used by now.

People who want to run Photoshop and other real warez will be fulfilled by the new surface pro types that I think eventually will become laptop and desktop replacements as well. At the same time the Apple and Android apps are slowly closing the gap. There is much more complex software available for mobile platforms than there was just a few years ago. This is where many new developers have emerged and it is a market where traditional softwares are dying to get into.

Microsoft is wayyyyy to late to the game, and they will never capture the casual users. I think they will hold a smaller market of business and previous PC users who haven't yet completely jumped ship. Apple and Android are here to stay as the majority, and Microsoft unfortunately as the minority.

That being said I still use my custom built Intel Z77/i5 3570K-based PC with 32GB RAM and Samsung 830 SSDs for RAW photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop, using MATLAB, Visual Studio, Mathematica, Sony Vegas, Handbrake, Acrobat, etc, etc, as well as an occasional game of BF3. I use my phone and tablet for everything else.

I love my note 10.1 I look at all info on tablets cause of curiosity but so far I want for nothing my note does all I want it to be able to do :)

I think my desktop is enough for windows . I dont need windows tablet . My note 10.1 enough for me outside my house
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HUYI:
just like others have said a big NO, i'm sure you have heard recently android is growing fast in terms of market share, microsoft dropped everything and tried to catch up with windows 8, too little, too late, microsoft are not only alienating thier pc gamer userbase with such a horrofic UI in windows 8 but most gaming card drivers don't work on 8 so why should they upgrade and loose features?

lets see if anyone will take something like that outside to work and be a laughing stock, the app store is nothing compared to ios and android, microsoft will never compare to either of them, not even a child can use windows 8 properly check out youtube and see for yourself, windows 8 is overcomplicated sqeezing tablet features into a desktop is the dumbest idea i have heard in my life, what the were they thinking?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HeartStrong07:
Been Waiting on Microsoft Surface Pro for Work

Well, I own a Galaxy Nexus and N7 and have owned an iPad4. I am anxiously awaiting the MS SPro because I am hoping that the stylus integration will truly eliminate the use of pen/pad of my note taking. I also look forward to the integrate of the stylus with One Note.

The MS SPro stopped me from buying a Google Nexus 10 (no pen); Galaxy Note 10.1 (pen but less than ideal integration with Google Drive - i.e., no editing of slide presentations in the Drive).

If the writing experience is good; if I can access my PowerPoint presentations within the SkyDrive and edit them with the stylus, or touch screen, or keyboard and if the integration with One Note is good, particularly using the pen .... the MS SPro may become the preferred business tablet ...

with Google Tablets occupying the purely consumption space.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
VERY Good point about annotating Power Points.

So far it's been basically impossible to do on Android.

No one wants to have to convert to PDF all the time.

Until SoftMaker remakes their Office Suite to the same level of functionality as their Windows Mobile 6 version (which basically WAS MS Office) Android can never be a serious productivity tool.

So far lots of Office Suites miss a majority of functions and even LOSE document data you originally had put in the document from the official MS Office, if you save.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
With the gazillions MS spent on advertising Surface RT and even opening pop-up stores in malls to sell it they sold fewer than 1MM over the holidays. Samsung canceled plans to bring to bring the Ativ RT to the U.S. because of lack of consumer interest. Surface Pro is nothing more than Surface RT with the ability to run legacy Windows apps. The devices are twice as thick, twice as heavy, and battery life is unknown. The real change in personal computing is the addition of touch screen interaction and you'll see most new ultrabooks and notebooks including it. When that happens it's really just a choice of picking the Windows device that best suits people's needs - a small light ultrabook with a touchscreen with better battery life or a heavy Surface Pro with limitations and a removable display. Legacy Windows with all of its viruses and maintenance chores really isn't a competitor to consumption devices like iPad and Android tablets. And unless something changes Surface RT is already a fail. Samsung canceling the Ativ RT and releasing updated G-Tab's next month is a pretty good that Android will be around for awhile.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] padesy:
well, February 9th is just around the corner.... let's wait and see if Microsoft will surprise us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dtziheucdavis:
I actually have a surface rt as well. It's inferior to the Note in almost all ways, but it definitely has two advantages.

1 the type keyboard is extremely nice to use and convenient

2 native ms office support is great when you need to work with word, ppt docs, and etc
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
There's no surprise, here's the specs from their site. In the 64GB version, because the OS and installed apps are huge, there's only 23GB left for the user. And it's already confirmed to get half the battery life of Surface RT.

http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US/surface-with-windows-8-pro/specifications

So...

$999 - 128GB Surface Pro (23GB is way too little available storage)

$250 - Office 2013 license (it's not included in Surface Pro)

$130 -

"Type" cover (the "touch" cover included would drive productivity users nuts)

$1,379

I don't see people lining up for it.

Here's an interesting article comparing the RT to Pro...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
I'm sure it's been addressed but I'm having issues when installing apps from the market. It downloads them but when it installs I get no storage space. It's impossible because I have over 3gb storage free and 1gb internal storage. I'm running cm10.1 1/25 if that helps. Just weird considering I installed things fine the other day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
I was getting this error, too. I couldn't figure out what was taking up so much space on my internal SD. I did a search on it and clockwork can leave behind some serious blobs. Delete the clockwork folder, namely the blobs folder, but I just deleted everything and made a new backup.

While your at it, look for other old, unused files on your SD to delete. ROM toolbox will give you a last modified date. I only delete stuff that hasn't been used in like 2 months.

Another great way to free up space is by using apps to SD. I move all my games and larger apps to my SD card. I'm working with well over 100 downloaded apps and I haven't even filled up half of my internal storage.

Bottom line, storage space requires a little maintenance now and then, just like a computer. Unclutter. Delete all the crap you'll never use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mship:
I had the same issue with clockwork mod. The blobs was using up 1.5 gigs of internal space.

From what I read it has to do with the new way that incremental backups are done. But I don't do any nandriod on my internal memory so I don't know how it got there.

I just deleted the blobs and it gave me that space back. Will look into apps to sd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
Well I erased the clockworkmod folder and still nothing its very selective about the apps it gives the error to. I installed shadow gun dead zone and it went fine but I tried a battery app and it gave the error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
Have you tried clearing market data? It might be as simple as that.

Also, get ROM toolbox and back up your apps once you get this figured. I usually stop that data hoggin' auto download from the market and just install ROM toolbox. I restore apps only and some select data. WAY faster! Use less battery! Switch ROM fast! :cool:

hello to all...i am new to this developing. i have a rom file in .zip format....inside it there is system folder. i want to convert this .zip into a system img file. is it possible?? actually i hav a phone on which sdcard is not getting detected. so cwm recovery wont work, niether adb is detecting that device, so i want to make a system img file from this rom so that i can flash it using fastboot. Plz help me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
For future reference, at the very least, state the device you have and or are having problems with. Makes things easier for people like me ;)

What your asking for doesn't exist to my knowledge. However, you can extract the contents of the zip to your hard disk and use fastboot to flash the file "boot.img' which should be in the root of the zip you have. Everything else needs to be pushed via ADB to the /system partition. If your CWM is built correctly, ADB should detect your device when connected. That's assuming that you have your drivers installed already.

In reality, I don't think that what you are wanting to do can be done, however I don't know everything either. :silly: Best of luck :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chdiryoung:
I tried this using Livesuit 1.11 for a softwinerEvb a13 tablet (no other known device specs) and it said the image file was invalid. Situation is I soft bricked my tablet by flashing the wrong cwm zip. Finally found out how to connect via Livesuit (kinda like fastboot or bootloader mode or something? like Odin?) to flash stuff to it. I decided to use an erase img .img because where I found how to connect it suggested that to the OP (on techknow). So now instead of the tablet just being stuck on the first screen when trying to boot (normal or recovery), it doesn't do anything at all since there's no boot.img. Which I'm not worried about since It connects to my laptop just fine via livesuit still so I can get a boot on it (ADB won't detect it - pretty positive it's not ADB user error [I run cmd "adb root" when the tablet is connect in whatever mode its in - the way livesuit detects it - and adb says no device found]. BUT I can't find a stock firmware/rom/boot.img for it anywhere (mainly since there's a bunch of clones of this tablet). I'm downloading a few roms (in boot.img format? - .7z files) that I found for "this" tablet (meaning the devs don't know which clones which roms work on lol).

ANYWAY haha, my question is, is there a way to do what you said in the above quote that will work in my situation? I'm not advanced enough to know why livesuit says the image is invalid. I tried it with a cm10.1 zip made for this tablet and a cwm zip made for this tablet (for both I extracted the files and then tried flashing the boot.img I found in the directory(extracted folder right?) via livesuit. livesuit said image file invalid for both .img's.

Please help me :) and THANK YOU in advance.

I'm open to anyone's help and any help is much appreciated! Thanks buttons will be pressed!!!
