Well, if you all haven't noticed, the Samsung video player is ugly. The big buttons are annoying, and the grey blue theme is ugly. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the AOsP video player onto my S4. Thanks!

Hello I created this thread to share each of our thoughts, opinions, and feelings about the device so far.

I'll start.

Pro's

So far I really like this device. The screen display is the best I've seen so far.

One of the best features is multi tasking. The screen size makes perfect sense for doing so compared smartphones.

The main reason I ordered this tablet is because of college. Reading articles and textbooks are great due to 1080p display and it's pixels per inch.

My magazine/flipboard is a great integration into touchwiz ui even thought it feels laggy at first.

Con's

Though this is branded as a high spec device, I did notice some minor lag which doesn't bother me to much. But for a high end device and it's asking price, it's unexceptional!

Missing certain note 3 features like nfc, usb3.0

Physical buttons personally isn't the best idea. When I use this device in portrait mode, my fingers sometimes might hit them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wilsonhuang:
Anyone want to share your impressions and experience about the device so far?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Live4Racing:
Pros

- SPen

- Multi Windows Feature

- Hardwarekeys

Cons

- very hot around the camera (in Potrait Mode its to warm for me, on the other side is the home button)

- lags are often (Chrome, Firefox extremly. other Browser ok but not for a tablet for this price)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
Agree almost entirely with op. Hopefully custom toms get rid of lag.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] princeplanet:
I'm coming from the TF700, so I'm in heaven.

My pro's, beside not having extreme lag like my Infinity, are the screen and, also, the feel. The TF700 used to dig into my hands when I was holding it between my thumb and forefinger. This device is smoother on my fingers; when I hold the device in the same way, the device doesn't cut into my hands.

My cons are basically using Touchwiz (this is my first Sammy-d, so I have to become adjusted and figure out where to go to adjust settings and what-not. I also don't care for the physical buttons, because I'm constantly changing from portrait to landscape, and vice-verse.

But, overall...I'm very happy; I'll put up with the little things as long as I have a tablet that will do what I tell it to do, instead of waiting for an eternity.

:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rap6388:
Pros: screen is awesome. S pen seems better than original, stock video player does better job with media server

Con's: Listening to all the people who probably do not even own the device talk about lag!

I propose that you have to prove ownership of note 2014 to post a complaint about lag AND show video proof.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Oh yeah!? Well....... I say anybody NOT having lag should also prove it with video and at least two ghost apparition sightings. It IS nearing Halloween :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
Just to let you know the resolution is higher than 1080P.

I agree with Most of your list though
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] gina$zanboti:
Pros:

-Display (as everyone has already mentioned).

-Design is sleek and much more comfortable and easy to handle than the previous model. I love the hard buttons and it works well with me. One issue I have heard about though is that the main menu button isn't receded so sometimes when pressure is applied to a case around that area it will wake up the tablet. As I don't have a case yet I can't confirm that this is an issue, but I believe just be running my finger over the button.

-S Pen (for the most part)

-And despite what many have said this thing is generally very fast. It's only within some applications that it gets a little laggy and I'm hoping that this will improve with software updates.

Cons:

-Mainly the software. I hate the new S Note. So much in fact, that I purchased Lecture Notes without having received my galaxy perks (which I"m still waiting on actually). Also I was a little disappointed that the air command wasn't customizable as I had heard it would be (or maybe I just haven't figured out how to do that yet). Taking screen shots with the lasso and s-button seems slower than it was in the older model, but I love that there are more options to shape the outline more cleanly.I'd also really love to be able to uninstall or disable some of the bloatware, like mymagazines. I'm sure it's a great app, but I personally have no need for it.

-There are hardly any accessories out for this baby yet. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a case.

-The back of the tablet gets a little warm, but not so warm to the point where I'd be concerned about it. I've had laptops that would get uncomfortably hot so maybe I've just been desensitized to this issue.

And the biggest problem I've had with this thing... the thing that has actually made me consider returning it is the customer service. I have not gotten my perks yet and contacted them several times only to get the run around. Each time I called back I found out that they had taken my information incorrectly and I honestly feel like they were toying with me. I spoke with one rep who seems more genuine than the others and said I should get them by Thursday so I'm holding out hope. There is no way I'll take this thing back, but if I dont' get my perks I may reach out to a friend who works for samsung in Korea. It'd be an awkward convo though cause I haven't spoken to the guy in years.... 대한민국!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vinotauro:
May be off topic (I am not writing a review) but I think 'lag' in general on this device is unacceptable. If you're advertising a powerhouse piece of technology and it stutters in an internet browser then something is wrong. Using a different launcher to reduce 'lag' is also unacceptable as it shouldn't even be there in the first place! Hopefully new firmware irons out the kinks (I'm sure the lag isn't tablet-related as it just needs some optimization)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
As someone with both the this device and an HTC one, I can say that the note certainly lags more. It's not something that's major, but it's certainly noticeable if your coming from something smoother.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] gina$zanboti:
I recorded a video on my crappy iphone, but i can't transfer it and i refuse to install that memory hog of crap itunes to get to it. I should be getting a note 2 in the next couple of weeks so i'll take a video then. is there anything in particular that you wanted me to do on it?

I admittedly dont' do too much on it besides browsing and taking notes. The worst I've seen the lag is when I have a webbroswer open and I'm writing in lecture notes. the writing shows up a second after i've written something and that is a bit annoying. Over all though I think people are being too critical of the lag. It's not so bad that it's keeping me from working on it (with the exception of using split screen between lecture notes and the default browser.

Besides for this tablet it's all about the s pen. if it wasn't for that i wouldn't have bothered with a tablet at all. I think smart phones are good for when you're on the move and if i'm going to sit down to watch a movie or do some gaming... well that's what i've got my laptop for. I don't live in a big city with good public transportation, but i could easily see myself just using my phone to watch a movie on a train or bus. I wouldn't bring out a tablet for that even if I owned one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
Sitting next to my rooted S3 running AOSP 4.3 it's a bit laggier. That's undeniable, IMO, and I'd argue that it's because of Samsung's bloated OS additions. It's not a device problem, I don't think.

However... I could not possibly care less. It's attractive, feels AMAZING in the hands (why is everyone complaining about the back?? I don't even want a case!!), the speakers are burly, the screen is superb, the stylus with the art apps can make stuff that looks like it was tone with a Wacom tablet, the cameras are SURPRISINGLY solid, it multi-tasks more like a PC than any tablet I've ever seen, and it's just... a joy to use.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Seems a lot of us sometimes forget the TRUE bottleneck of Android: The byte code Dalvik layer. This type of coding is not exactly multithread friendly and IMO seems amazing as good as the current passive cooled chipsets can do what they already do. Case in point, I never would have thought back in the G1 days emulators would be as efficient (MAME, PSX, PSP, N64). Then again, those apps are designed to not be multi-tasked.

IMO the issue is not as much the hardware or OE rom, but the platform itself as far as having global impact to software. iOS is not much better and ALSO lags. Such is the price of balance: Platform security (iOS andDalvik constraints), passive cooled devices, battery efficiency, etc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ckelly33:
Pros: Beautiful screen

feel and weight in your hand (compared to the previous version - which wasn't bad either)

S-Pen is less laggy and the finer screen allows for more precise writing/drawing

Cons: S-Note. I want the old version back.

Physical buttons. I really miss the natural "awareness" of where they are as compared to the old one where they were always at the

bottom of the screen.

Battery life isn't as nice as the first (alot more pixels to push I guess)

Lack of accessories (I'd really like a case)

Lack of root. I REALLY miss the 'add anything' multiwindow support'

I've waited a long time for a note 10.1 with this resolution but I'm considering returning it :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] richB7:
I returned mine to BB. For a high end device and the associated high price I didn't find the performance acceptable. Hoping for this or that doesn't cut it for me. If it doesn't perform up to expectations out of the box, it goes back. I'll keep using my better performing Nexus 10 until version 2 of that device comes out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BigStuart:
Count me among the disappointed... I got mine on launch day, and it's slower than last year's note 10.1.

New S Note is inexplicable.

Occasionally it hangs up and is unresponsive for at least a minute. (Happened in my beloved Lecturenotes as well as others)

Try this for a demo of the lag, I use LectureNotes with double tap zoom mode... open a note, double tap to enable zooming, pinch to zoom to 200%. Now double tap again to zoom back to 100% and watch it stutter. You can keep double tapping to switch between 100% and 200% and see the terrible lag. Do the same on last year's note 10.1 to compare.

It's not good enough. I expected this to be an upgrade!

I love the display, I love the more compact form factor, and I'll get used to the new buttons eventually.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
Key words: launch day. I know it's ****ty that a new device gets rolled out with imperfect software, but that's what this is. An update or two and this will be perfect. The 10.1, by the time we all upgraded, had a lot of updates to it that ironed out its issues.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BigStuart:
You're probably right, but it's shameful that the new note is slower than the old one, launch day or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
There's a few culprits here.

1) Software just plain isn't optimized for all the cores. Think about the tech advances from the old G1 to now. Are our devices now as much faster, proportionally speaking, as they are more powerful? Not by a long shot.

2) Was the launch day 10.1 2012 faster? I don't think. But that goes back to what I said earlier.

3) I feel like the new OS is just bloated as all hell. The device isn't slower, the burly Touchwiz is. It's like getting a brand new laptop and it takes longer to start: the PC isn't the problem, it's the new Windows.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] luvmygadgetz:
You'd still be doing better than the poor individual who paid full price and is probably staring at an empty box and a charger cable. Not your fault.. you might as well enjoy it... if it wasn't you, somebody else would have bought it. Sad truth.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ps000000:
After a month with my P601

I notice that high screen brightness is a real battery sucker !!!:eek:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
It is a battery sucking vampire and I am still debating returning it to Best Buy due to this. I could care less about the pen, but want a 32GB model with micro sd. I would get the 8.4" if a 32gb was offered.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BclingergFJ:
Size wise I prefer the 8" series.

Via my Note 3
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
The 8.4 has poor battery life
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dr.m0x:
iPad Air is supposed to have good battery life.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
iPad Air has great battery life and can be set much brighter than the Note 2014 while having great battery life. When I travel with the 2014 I feel compelled to be near a power source, but not with the Air. It has 40% better battery life so far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jherring002:
but does it have an active stylus? that is the question.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dr.m0x:
Let's not forget multi window and the sd card slot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Stylus is irrelevant to me and ditto for multi window (so far). I have a 128 GB Air, but cost $180 more than the 32gb Note. I like both app ecosystems, but if game emulators and Flash were to go away, ipad air would be preferred device due to battery life and better wifi signal.

I love Android due near exclusively to the great emulators and Flash. I also have a Dell 5130 that also is much better with battery life and it is a Windows 8.1 device. Never would expect that but true.

Another few weeks to decide, but the only other options are even more power hungry Tegra 4 tablets. Need the 32GB for app storage and the SD slot. Trying different settings to try and get battery life to improve :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] LiMz:
Also my first tablet. I however can't use any device before rooting. Things like firewall and greenify are a must for me.

Overall I really enjoy the tablet experience. I only pull out my laptop if I need to do heavy typing etc. Wish I found a better screen protector though as the s pen leaves heavy scratches and isn't smooth.

I have tiny light bleed issues on the corners. Anyone else?

Pros

All what you guys are saying

My cons

Intermittent random flickering of the screen. It's so annoying and am not the only one.

I have read through pros and cons but as i need more info on the specific thing that will determine whether i will jump on the galaxy note ship, i thought i would ask..

Do you recommend this product for long sessions of note taking e.g. for seminars/business meetings, etc? in videos it seems to be rather slower than real life writing i.e. not a 1 to 1 writing experience. to what degree is this true, and to what degree is this relevant i.e. is it just about learning how to use this well? thanks!! your help will be MOST appreciated
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Svartsyn333:
I'm overall very happy with this tablet. However, I experience a lot of random reboots, most of them after waking up the device. But as I'm root and have Xposed framework installed "from the first second of using" I can't tell if this is causing them or it's simply a bug in the firmware.

Another thing that really sickens me is that the notification access is completely disabled. Yeah, I know there is no LED (bad enough) but there are apps as Dashclock Widget that need notification access to be granted or they don't work.

Last thing I'm sad about is Samsung's update policy. I've got the P605 and yes, I'm pretty sad about the fact that it still didn't get the 4.4 update.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

I can't say that writing is slow. I am somewhat a really fast writer and didn't feel a big difference to using paper and pen. I think it just needs a little bit of practicing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] STELIOSFAN:
After giving away the wi-fi model for SM-P605 LTE one, I have to admit that I love everything about it.

Great battery life, fast, no lags (disabled bloatware, nova installed etc) and no reboots or problems whatsoever.

WHAT I MISS IS multiuser functionality and I hate the lag when on lockscreen to wake up. But I am sure both are going to be solved with KK.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] sameer1807:
Battery life sucks a@@. Standby is okay but usage is just unbareable..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] buhohitr:
Did you upgrade to Kitkat 4.4 with a factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dr.m0x:
Same here, overall experience on the sm-p605 running 4.3 is much better than the SM-P600 on 4.3. Can't wait until we get 4.4.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] domspeed:
Having never owned a tablet I've got bugger all to compare to other than occasional use of my wife's I pad. That said, I had my SM-P600 Wifi version about 1 day and was quite disappointed with the lag.

After wiping this thing and running hashchecks's V2 hybrid rom I am really impressed. Totally different device now.

Seems like the size or resolution has changed though which I'm not sure I like, and I had a Google play store issue lots of others have had too. That has been rectified since wiping via pc/Google erase and reflashed again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vitamin.ben:
Owned a motorola xoom for near 4 years. During all this time I always had a single regret: not having waited 6 extra months to get something that had a Pen.

Also, this is my first android from Samsung.

Overall I f***** love this tablet so far, the spen+split view+floating windows add so much to the android experience that I don't its possible to describe.

I see people goin 'mimmimimi' over some minor lags when opening second window but common, its still a freaking tablet running 2 apps. Xoom actually had a custom rom capable of doing 3 apps in split view... and this note is probably 100x faster than it was. The only thing i find odd is that app layouts worked better in xoom with split view than in this note. With the xoom rom (I think it was called cornerstone) apps would resize naturaly to smaller layouts like phone depending on the view size, in the note stuff just eventually crumble thou.

And for Samsung, ok they bloat the hell out of their products, but some of their software not only make it worthy as also take the experience to another level. Just compare Samsung's window feature, that can take *existing* applications and run them in a window, and compare to sony's window... that needs specific apps done for running in window only :|.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BigStuart:
I'm still not sure what your point is here... I have the old one, I upgraded to the new one, the new one is slower than the old one. Not a happy customer experience.

The reasons why are irrelevant, this product wasn't ready for launch. They needed to optimise it to at least an acceptable level before asking us to pay $600 for it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Sounds more like a GPU bottleneck issue trying to manage data to the super hi res display. Most iOS apps will down scale to offset, but drawing apps can not do that, for obvious reasons. The ram can only help so much with this with Android. Diminished returns perhaps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
This also makes sense, and goes back to what I was saying about software optimization.

Confession: I'm not noticing a huge lag compared to my older model, just some. Yeah, it exists, but it's not a "slower" device. Actual operations are very snappy.

Best Tablet in the market Today !

Hi,

The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition is in my opinion the best tablet you'll find in the market today. The screen display and the sound in this device are impressive , the biggest innovation : The S Pen ! you'll be amazed how responsive this is.

The cons : sometimes it's slow when you launch multiple tasks at the same time , the Home ( physical) button should have thought in a different way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wingdo:
Pros:

Updated S Pen software

Insane screen

Feels sturdier than the prior model

Cons:

Heat near camera

The screen does not feel as solid dead center. There is some bend when I am taking notes.

"Lag / jitteriness, worst part is it comes and goes" -- tonight was the first night I have noticed this and I just realized I was in Power Save mode. d'oh

On the topic of the physical home button .... while it is not following ASOP standards, I am glad to see the return of the physical and capacitive buttons for two reasons. First and the primary one, on the 2012 Note when I was using LectureNotes as I got near the bottom of the page the side of my hand would hit the lower portion of the screen and poof ..... Settings menu / Notification Panel pops up. No way to disable that in LN w/o rooting. Very very annoying. Second, it does give you a bit extra screen real estate. Case in point, my prior phone was a Droid RAZR Maxx and my wife's is a RAZR HD. The non-HD RAZR has a 4.3" screen with capacitive buttons on the bottom, the 4.7 does away with the capacitive buttons using standard Android on screen buttons. When using the 4.7" HD, the actual program display area is the same as that on the 4.3" RAZR. I'd rather see the non moving buttons on a portion of the bezel which has to be there no matter what.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] megalomanic14:
Hey guys, I was just wondering...to anyone that had a note 10.1 original, and bought the n10 2014 was it worth the upgrade? If so, how come, what benefits do you see from it? If no, what do you miss feom the original?

Ive just been debating as I have a note 8 and note 10 that I love, but on my note 3 I dont like several things, like the new s pen, s note removing premium suite, and really would miss front facing speakers on new note 10.

So I was just wanting some feedback from previous n10.1 owners, and how the 2014 experience has been in comparison.

much appreciated,

Mega
