[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
It does appear that way in their pics. I guess it's just a byproduct of a bad photoshop. Really stupid for them to even photoshop their backs on to the phone, since they produce the backs and SHOULD have a GN3 (even if it is just a dummy)! Anyway, their official pics of their product are extremely misleading! I don't have this back, but I suggest those that have received this, email the company and tell them the product you received doesn't match the product they're advertising. They might send you a partial refund for the inconvenience, and hopefully that will at the least prompt them to update their pics at minimum! That way other potential customers aren't mislead.

Is there no way to take pics from the Gear without "Galaxy Gear" showing on them? That would be extremely annoying to have on every pic taken with it!

Or did you just put/leave that on there so we'd all know what device you used to take the pics? Maybe I should start putting the device's name on pics I take with it, lol.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
I'm really torn between these two.

While the new note comes with a stylus and has one inch lager screen, kindle is much cheaper (starting at $379), much much lighter (370 grams) and has a better screen resolution (339 PPI). Both devices are quite powerful and have good camera.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHJRYYS/ref=kin_comp_dk_a_txt

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Gasaraki-:
The Amazon tablet is locked to their FireOS, so no play store, no google apps, no accessing the Android OS. That is until people unlock the thing and start coming out with ROMs.

I ordered the Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
You can always download apps in apk format and install them, can't you?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ddavtian:
If you don't need S-pen and multiwindow, don't pay extra.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
For someone who uses the s pen mainly for annotating books I guess a $2 s pen can do the job.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
The new kindle has almost the same price as note 8.0 despite having 1 inch larger screen, almost double screen resolution, better camera and processor. I wonder why Samsung is overpricing its products like that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Guess I'll wait a few months for either note 10.1 price drop or the expected 10 inch kindle HDX comes out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jinda628:
Its not the same. A 3rd party stylus wont make that Kindle work like the Note 8 or 10.1 because of its lack of digitizer.

I'll take the Note 8 over the kindle if same price due to digitizer and Spen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skywalkr2:
Is this a serious question?

1) Samsung wants a profit on their hardware sales

2) Amazon does not

... do the math...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
I agree. but I don't think it will do much diffrence for students like myself using the pen only for annotating pdfs. Also, for us the ultra light weight is a big advantage.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Gasaraki-:
True. Amazon is selling at cost so they can lock you in to their environment, their store, their books, etc. You can't even install the Nook reader if you wanted to. No Google apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Overpricing products doesn't always mean more profit. Samsung should be more reasonable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Says who? You can install whatever apps you want, you just can't get them directly from google store.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
and i used to pick on the people who would complain about a few pounds on a laptop, lol. i just kidding lol.

the nook hd+ i had did wear on your wrists a lot quicker than my old galaxy tab 8.9 did.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Many complained of not being able to hold the old note 10.1 for more than 15 minutes. With a 370 gm tablet (thanks to magnesium built) you won't have a problem holding it for hours. Perfect for students.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
Ignoring the fact that you are trolling this board, annotating with a capciative stylus is hugely different than useing an active digitizer stylus. And if you wanted to do that, might as well get the ipad which has the best apps for it in goodreader and iannotate.

Like sell products at a loss or no revenue? If I wanted a device like that, I'd get a nexus device and not invest myself into amazon's tiny ecosystem.

If you want to go that far, you might as well get a nook HD+ which is 120 bucks on ebay today and save yourself over 200 bucks. Can anyone really tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p at 9" screen size? Probably not.

These are devices for different purposes. I for one need it because I've gotten use to the active digitizer for my classes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Ignoring the trolling part, I've already admitted in my primary post that s pen is an advantage for samsung note. The question is: does it worth an extra 150 bucks? Getting an ipad won't solve the problem either.

If you think $600 for a 10.1" WiFi only tablet is reasonable price this is your opinion, but most customers and experts disagree.

But again not everyone is as rich as you.

Comparing the new kindle fire with its 2.2GHz quad-core processor and 339 PPI screen display to nook HD+ is just laughable. Also you brought a bad example as nook HD+ weighs ~520 gm which is 150 gm heavier than kindle.

Actually the one thing that held me back from buying the old note 10.1 is the screen resolution. and of course you can tell the difference specially when reading small text.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
It's $550 for the 16gb one. Get your facts straight before you make overgeneralizations. $550 is a lot and Samsung made a mistake. People will still buy it especially students who got it last year and have gotten use to using a note in their workflow.

Most people don't care about weight. They care about value and size. Amazon tablets still don't have an sd card slot and they require to use their crappy OS. Yeah you can eventually root and rom it, but it's a lot of trouble. The price is also realistically $400 ignoring their pathetic special offers. $400 for a device that's only for media consumption? Who gives a crap about extra power when you don't really use it? If I want a reader I'll get a nook HD+ instead. Students want good apps and good ability to write notes. The kindle is a media-consumption device and less a tablet. The app store is even worse than google play. All that extra power is meant to power things like multiwindow mode and render pdf's faster along with making the UI smoother.

Again, I'm not happy this thing costs $550 at all, but I'll get it anyways because It's only $50 extra and I really would rather move over all my apps and files now rather than later in the semester.

I don't think I have ever seen a student use a kindle ever. Almost everyone has macbooks and ipads and a few galaxy note 10.1's where I'm at.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
i do agree with you. $550 last year for the 32GB was pushing it and adding another 50 is really testing me. as much as i love the spen and samsung tablets i think this may be my last samsung @ 10.1 inches. that money would be better spent on the windows tablets - though i hate how touch unfriendly desktop is and i ain't messing with metro/modern ui.

just 2 years ago people were *****ing about paying more than $300 for an android tablet and look where we are now. if we'd have shown that we weren't willing to pay they wouldn't raise the prices. and, yes, i'm just as guilty as the rest of us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Nowhere did I mention $600 is for 16gb version. I said it costs extra 150 bucks which is true: new kindle fire HDX 8.9" 32gb without special offers is $444. Do the math

Some care about weight, others don't. Personally I use the tablet as an alternative to books which requires holding it for long periods. So weight is extremely important to me.

As I said twice earlier in this thread you can install whatever android apps you want on amazon tablets. you just can't get them directly from google store, unless you root your device of course

http://kindleworld.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-reviewer-myth-that-kindle-fire.html

And of course you need more power for rendering complex pdfs faster etc.

All in all, samsung has a slight edge over kindle but it doesn't worth paying extra 150 bucks. Unlike many people here I pay for my things myself, so I better wait a few months.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GitterDunn:
It looks you can get the Kindle with up to 64GB of storage (for under $500)...if you need more than that (like I do), then you'll want the expandable storage (microSD slot) option that Samsung offers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qzic:
Note within $25 of HDX

I searious considered the Kindle 8.9" HDX. Price wise, they aren't actually that different (see below). In the end, I don't think the hardware comprimises in the Kindle HDX (which are really very small) are worth the minor difference in street price I would have to pay.

HDX 8.9"

Pros:

- Amazon video is better integrated (I have Prime)

- Can read freek Kindle books from the Kindle Lending Library

- Significatnly (30%) lighter 374g vs 535

Cons:

- No MicroSD so need to buy a larger size (

- Smaller Screen may be less functional for productivity

- No GPS

- Problamatic getting Google Play Store installed

- Some incompatibility with Play store apps

- Less likely to get new ROMs / Updates

- Rooting and new ROMs may remove the top two Pro's above

Cost View:

$494 - 64gb since it isn't expandable

-$15 - W/special offiers (will remove after rooting/new rom)

+$46 - Sales tax

=====

$525 - Out of pocket price for Kindle

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Pros:

- S Pen and an activie digitizer

- Additional HW functionality: GPS, micro sd, rear facing camera, Wolfson Audio

- Larger Screen

- Samsung enhancements (e.g. multi window)

- Likely ROM / DEV support

Cons:

- "Cost" (but in practice it is within $25 of the HDX)

$599 - 32gb and will add a microSD later

-$25 - Google Play Store Credit

-$25 - NewEgg coupon

=====

$549 - out of pocket price for Note
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] atg284:
Yeah but its the whole being locked into Fire OS that I don't like and would rather pay more for Android and the google play store... even with TouchWiz
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Nice comparison but you added $46 sales tax on kindle and forgot to add $25 for 32 SD card on note. ;)

Plus in my country I can't get use of google store credit or newegg.

So still $150 difference in price for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
This comparison is a bit silly because I don't think the kindle x is really the main competitor to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. I think the new nexus 10 and the new Transformer Infinity will be the main competitors.

The new Nexus 10 will probably have the same screen resolution again with a quad-core tegra 4 and just maybe a $50 cheaper pricepoint per tier ($349 for 16gb, 449 for 32 gb) The new transformer infinity will be 399 for only the tablet and 499 with dock (with an extra battery inside). Either one will have the kindle beaten on price for the features. The Note will likely have more ram (Samsung makes its own lpddr ram) and the pen. It really depends on whether you need the stylus.

If you don't, I'd argue for the LTE version of the Nexus 7 2013 as the very best tablet you can get for the price as a student. A snapdragon 600 inside and 4g LTE for only 349? Yes please. Portable and fast enough to render pdf's quickly and act as a quick hotspot for your macbook on the fly.

The transformer pad might be a good deal too if Asus finally got its act together. 399 for a tegra 4 and 2560x1600 screen is a good deal. Only 100 more for a dock that will turn that tablet into a makeshift ultrabook with 10 hour+ battery life? Seems good.

The Kindle looks nice on paper with the 2 day battery life and Snapdragon 600. I just don't see the niche of the 8.9" tablet myself.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qzic:
I feel the same way about 7" devices. It seems that they aren't big enough to provide enough utility over and above a smartphone.

I think 8.9 is the minimum useful size for a companion tablet when one already has a smartphone.

But that's just my opinion and 7" devices sell very well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GSLEON3:
Of course my KF HD 8.9 is the LTE version, but it most definitely has GPS, as does the HDX 4G/LTE version. I cannot speak to the WiFi only version, but I know for certain the HDX 4G version will again have GPS, supplemented by A-GPS & Wireless Location Services.

The 8.9" screen is nice & weight is my only complaint in the current version of the KF HD. With dual boot, the tablet is great & I have all of Google apps installed, including the Play Store, even in the Fire OS. As an Amazon Prime member, the KF is hard to beat for entertainment purposes, which include the ever growing lending library. I also have a Note 8.0 & recently sold my Note 10.1 on Swappa. I am a heavy user & have been fairly disappointed with Samsung's recent devices in regards to battery life. The new Nexus 7 outlasts the Note 8.0 in real world use nearly 2 to 1 & so does the KF 8.9, even with 4G vs. the GT-N5110. Don't get me wrong, Samsung has introduced some interesting features. Most of them have been more novelties than useful productivity tools for me, but again, I am not you. Since we probably have different views on what the best socks & underwear are, I can hardly expect that we'd agree on something as complex as a productivity & entertainment tool.

In the end, it all boils down to personal preference. If I were in school again (I am a mechanical engineer) I would find a digitizer a great utility. However, I would not be willing to sacrifice the power of a laptop. If I had to settle for a hybrid device, or felt I couldn't live without the digitizer, I would probably go with the Surface Pro 2. That's me though & apps are not that important to me. I enjoy entertainment, but that's something I can get via Flash or HTML5 with any browser on the MS device. Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel & a few legacy engineering tools are what I find important.

After several crashes of my K-Jam due to the SBP Pocket Plus (including the latest version (3.0.4) I have found a good solution.

I went to the advanced options in Transcriber and set shortcuts to launch programs from any page in my K-Jam. for example when I writ:

"CT" ..... it opens my Contacts

"WMB" ... it opens my Word Mobile

"Pw" ...... it opens my Battery panel

Its even better than PocketPlus because I can open it from any page.

I need help in the following:

Where is the shorthand library file stored in the K-Jam (WM5) so that I can save it in case of another Hard Reset?

I have tried my previous S3 MHL adapter (not original) on my note 3, it is working but sometime the screen on my TV will become black for a few sec.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
It'll work, but only output at MHL 1.0 spec.

What would the difference be in regards to other specs? Image quality?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
+1
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Output is 30Hz, rather than 60Hz for MHL 2.0

Noticeable difference in smoothness between 30 and 60 for me, not that I was particularly bothered my MHL output before.

I wanted to ask this before i flash a rom. Its the gsm version of the HTC one. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hcukk:
thanks for the quick answer :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] HyDRo1X:
Short answer: Yes

Long answer: Yes, but there are a few kinks. For instance the roms work perfectly fine without anything messing up. I for one have an m7att and was successfully able to flash roms between the att and ul variants flawlessly. However I then flashed philz advanced touch recovery on the ul forums and once I didn't like it tried to reinstall regular clockworkmod, however i was only able to install the ul version and now i can only flash ul roms. I can't reflash the att version yet because i can't use fastboot on my win8 for some reason so i need to wait til i can get my hands on a win7 again. Flash the roms but keep your recovery the same!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jthatch12:
You need to edit the updater-script... Then you can flash anything.

Add me to the people that wanted this bad. I changed my order to TigerDirect.com for next day shipping. I should have it tomorrow. It'll be white instead of black but that's cool by me. 32GB is what I really wanted.

In S-Note can you make a profile for the various tips and colors?

I'm looking at getting my from TigerDirect, $70 international shipping to here in the UK, still under £500 for the 32GB model! I have a few questions:

1. Is TigerDirect reliable, domestically and internationally?

2. Will the Play Store credit work with a UK account, as well as the other "Galaxy Perks"?

3. Are there any other US sites selling this that are able to ship to the UK?

I'm also interested in this. I see a $80 shipping cost to Switzerland, but it's probably still cheaper.

I never really understand how the whole thing with VAT works. Can somebody enlighten me? Do I have to expect an extra charge frome a third party, other than what TD is charging me?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SlimJ87D:
Reasons why I Note 10.1 won't lag as bad as it sounds.

1. People forget to disable the double tap home to active S Voice.

2. I don't care for animations much, I'll be turning them off in developer settings.

3. All we need is just one close to stock custom rom.

Those 3 things made my Note 8.0 snappy. It hasn't lagged on me at all. I imagine the Note 10.1 will be perfectly fine with just performing 1. and 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qzic:
There is a good chance that you will have to pay import duty, which will be at least as much as VAT.
