[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
If you have a N3, the N10.1-14 is actually a giant version of it and everything works

exactly

the same way which makes moving between them a breeze. That Scrap Book, S Note, Bookmarks, and even open web pages sync between them is great too. I had a N2 and

hated

the way all the multiview apps were implemented differently from the N10.1-12.

My thoughts, YMMV...

Pen Window

- Brilliant. Being able to open a browser, calculator, and the dialer and have them turn in to "chat heads" that stay available and float is a great feature.

Multiwindow

- I didn't like it at first but it's grown on me. I like that Pop-up Browser's been replaced with the same functionality as what's used when you proactively open a split screen view. The application of multiwindow is now much more consistent across the device.

S Note

- It's much cleaner and more modern looking now and is also much faster to execute functions. No functionality is missing from what was previously offered but its been prioritized so that most used stuff is easier to access and less used stuff is now in sub-menus but still just a click or two away. I love that you can now select whole blocks of handwriting after the fact and use the "transform" tool to convert it to text (which seems more accurate).

Action Memo

- Love it because of the added versatility over the former Pop-up Note. Don't love the disassociation with S Note but understand why it was done. That separation means there's no set-and-forget way to sync them if you want to view them across multiple devices. Action Memos I want to share I send to S Note (as a picture) but there they can't be edited. So there's been some serious gain but a bit of loss too.

^^^^^

This.

It's an out-of-box failure - they happen. Even if you could some how magically revive it why would you take the chance that a pretty clear problem could re-occur? Also, posting in multiple threads isn't going to change the answer.

I don't have the N3, but I do have an S4. The multi-window is pretty similar except the S4 uses a line rather than a dot between the windows. The difference is the S4 doesn't have the pen window option. In my mind the pen window option is analogous to the cascade option on the 2012 version. The difference is, I now have to maintain two lists of what apps I want available. But I did buy the app pen window launcher so at least I don't need the pen to get that functionality.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Adding multiview doesn't make the S4 a Note. I use multiview for some entertainment but the majority of what I split is for productivity and creation. The S4 with no practical way to enter notes (the lack of S Pen) and the limited screen granularity trying to hit things on an even smaller display than the N3/N10.1-14 with your finger makes it pretty much a non-starter not really worthy of comparison against the Note-series. If I didn't want the S Pen/S Note (which requires a "phablet") features on my phone I'd have a smaller device; probably a LG G2. Again, YMMV.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] sleekmason:
pretty damn neat!

10! . .. er, I mean, This tablet rocks. Coming from a cheap phone to something this nice seems extravagant to me.

I think that the S Pen feature could be more intuitive, by maybe removing a step or adding some simple box displays to the left of the screen that aren't trying to look fancy.

That being said it packs just about everything you could use into a small form allowing me to disregard my laptop almost entirely. the addition of a USB port and allowing you to root your device without jumping through hoops would complete it wouldn't it..?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] anthropoidape:
I've had mine since just before Christmas. I love it. I mean, I really love it. It is just about the device I have been looking for all this time. I added a MS Wedge bluetooth keyboard and mouse and they look like they were made for each other. With VPN and RDP it's just about my ideal mobile work device.

But... I have to send it back for a replacement. It has the bluetooth connection issue some of us have encountered. I am really disappointed but there you go.

I recommend this device highly but I recommend NOT rooting it until you are really sure you have a good one, and I recommend buying it somewhere where exchange can be made with minimal fuss.

I am hella glad I didn't root mine though I was sorely tempted to do so.

That's just my experience.

Small comparison between Note 10.1 2014 edition and Ipad air.

I have used both tablets (Ipad air and note 10.1 2014 edition-p601 recently)

In my opinions both are great and fantastic however each one of them has its own advantages.

Note 10.1_p-601

Screen resolution is not good as the Ipad air, which is amazing in the Ipad air in comparison to the p-601.

Touch sensitivity is much more in the Ipad air in comparison to the p-601.

No lag or delay when you use Ipad air with multiple applications in the background, while you will notice minor to moderate lag when u use the note with 2-3

applications in the background.

Overall performance is much better in the Ipad air despite its RAM is 1 gb, while the p-601 has 3 gb but its overall performance is much less than the Ipad air.

Battery of the Ipad air is much more powerful than that of note p-601

Ipad has its own unique features like air drop and air play.

But the Note p-601 has its own unique advantages.

S-Pen is a great and powerful tool. Actually when u start using it you will like it.

S-Pen features and applications are great: air command, air view, S-note, ..etc.

Note p-601 is much reliable than the Ipad air when used for reading or editing texts.

Features of the camera are more than the standards for the Ipad air.

So finally in my opinions both tablets are great and each one of them has its own taste.

Sorry but the first one was false, the resolution on the Samsung is higher and better than the ipad air
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Duly.noted:
And on clean room I can run 10 apps in pen window with multi window open watching YouTube and browsing the Web and not get any noticeable lag. Also the note is flat out more powerful than the iPad air. Specifically for anything processor intensive or ram intensive.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
"Multiple applications in the background," especially with 1GB of RAM, on the iPad Air ain't going to get you much. I don't consider a handful of apps that remember their state when you come back to them "multitasking." Especially when only apps updated to make use of the new iOS 7 API can run background processes when not in the foreground. Call me when you can use apps in multiple windows at the same time and dynamically share data between them. The Air has some benefits but multitasking, even against regular Android tablets isn't one of them.

P601 or P605

Hi Everyone,

First post here (I think - been scouring these forums for a long time for information, but never posted I don't think) Anyway, I have a question...

Is it worth getting the 4G/LTE(P605) version rather than the 3G(P601) version? All the reviews I have read/watched either have the WiFi Only(P600) or the P601 and just mention the P605. I think this is quite a relevant question considering the different chipsets used for the different models.

My philosophy when buying tech has always been to buy the best within the range so as to prolong the next purchase in the tech arms race and to get the most enjoyable user experience.

Thanks for the comments,

Dylan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Go to the N3 forum. There's lots of comparisons between the Exynos and S-800 variants. The N10.1-14 uses the same chips so expect the same results. And the general consensus is those results are strikingly similar. Just going by benchmarks the S-800 wins some as does Exynos. I don't think the differences, positive or negative, would be noticeable in every day use. The S-800 version has Qualcomm's QuickCharge chip which means it fully charges in five hours versus seven for the Exynos version which is a benefit.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nielo360:
Iv changed my mind about the note 2014s screen, in my opinion its poorly calibrated despite having beautiful color quality the gamma is simply terribly low,while gaming and watching movies. The LCD tech is just a huge inconvenience when laying in bed and gaming with a moga pro, u can notice the screen fading away in darker areas.

When viewed upfront the screen is great with vibrant colors but the gamma is still simply bad many fine details are lost, just open play store and compare the lighter shades to another phone half the shades are missing..another example of this is AVP game, on default brightness you can barely see anything in the game due to lack of gamma except for the well produced vibrant colors in lit areas (it was not coded this way most other devices display the images properly by default with darker area shades properly differentiated)

as for the rest I love the note 2014 over any other tablet.

Scrapbook - Huge Plus

So I have had my Note since Christmas. I never really played with the scrapbook feature through the S pen until today. Everyone has come across the recipe on a Facebook newsfeed that looks good. The only way to keep track of it is to like it and hope to find it on your profile page. Well...today I came across a recipe and turned my note portrait (normally use in landscape mode). I removed the S pen, choose scrapbook and captured the whole recipe including photo. I now have it saved in a Baking scrapbook stored locally. Awesome!

is the light bleeding right where the Google search box is?

Ive go a bit of light bleed as well but its exactly where the Google search bar is. I'm starting to think this design choice was done on purpose
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
No, the bad point on mine is just on the right of the back touch button. They can't foresee where the bleed will be. I believe it just happens whenever the tablet gets put together.

I'm not writing this to dispute your experience with Samsung customer support but to share an opposite one. Yesterday I went to the Samsung website to register the Note and collect on my rewards. Suddenly there is a problem, the website will not accept my serial number or WAC code. Many repeats-no change, so I went to Samsung's customer support website and started a chat session.

My rep, Nicholas J, asked me to give him the data and he would register me. That must have caused him the same problem because he quickly came back to ask for pictures of my SN and MAC. A handy cell phone (Sammy Note II) an email and we are back in business. It took a little time but suddenly there was an email in my inbox declaring my successful registration and showing how to collect on my rewards. Problem solved in a single chat session. Sometimes it works out right.:D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] robertsydbrink:
This is my first 10" tablet and I have been sceptical about this size most due to the weight of them in the past.

I got an hold of this one cheap and its just over 500g so I tried it out.

It's a pretty good device and im overall happy with it, but...

First the weight is still a problem. Its just to heavy to be comfortable to hold longer periods of time, especially with one hand. The magic weight seems to be around 350g for it to be light enough.

And it takes me to the second thing, the borders on the sides are to thin. When i hold it in landscape its hard to keep my thumbs from the screen, especially when I hold it with one hand.

And third is the screen. I've seen many praise it but the subpixel arrangement on it is to visible for me, it's basically half the resolution. I have not been this bothered with the pentile on the S3 and S4.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Tablet weight well the iPad which is considered the lightest tablet is 480g so really your never ganna be happy with a 10inch tablet. No-one with a large tablet holds it un aided for long periods of time and those that want to do this buy 7-8inch tablets which are perfect for this type of use.

I have yet to encouter any problems with touching the screen tbh and anyways pretty much all tablets are as thin but i dont find this an issue.

And about the screen well for nearly all of us its perfect and easily the best screen out there but there has been some people saying yhe screen is bad but thats deffo in minority.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Weight can still be further reduced.

New samsung tablet 10.1 pro is 470 gm .. iPad air is 470 .. Amazon new Kindle 8,9' is 370 (thanks to magnesium built).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Oh no doubt, The point i was trying to make was wanting a tablet of around 10inch size to be 350g is ambitious.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Kimo377:
Right, but you an't stop the advance of technology

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] robertsydbrink:
I know its not going to be done now. But i would like it at that weight for it to be comfortable (:

And 350g is not that far away i think. The batteri is the real problem which just can't be made lighter without losing juice.

And as I said I bought this because I got it cheap and wanted to try it out. I already have two 7" and one 8,9" (:

And the bezel being to thin might have to do with I got fairly large hands.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
I do get your point, we will get lighter 10 inch tablets in a few years but I think 350g will be a bit of a wait but I do hope I'm wrong.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rglebien:
This tablet is fantastic! Going from a first generation Kindle Fire running smoothROM to the N10.1-14 may make my opinions a bit exaggerated though. I've had this tablet for 4 days and I'm just blown away by its functionality.

PROS:

-Screen is amazing.

-S Pen is great, especially scrapbook and action memo functions

-Multitasking capabilities are nice on a tablet. Doesn't slow down easily, even while playing a game and watching youtube simultaneously.

-IR blaster is so useful. I really liked the watchON app too.

CONS:

-It gets a bit warm from playing some games (Sonic Dash, Punch quest, etc) occasionally. Nothing alarming yet, though I don't really have anything to compare it with.

-TouchWIZ is decent, but it has more features than I care for.

-Battery can run out pretty quickly with default features enabled.

That's just my experience so far. Hopefully they update to 4.4 sometime soon.

Don't know if you ever received your perks, but I just purchased the Note 10.1 2014 Edition. I also encounter issues registering the unit. Some how the unit registered itself. Received the email reply but the wrong S/N was forwarded in the registration. I attempted to register with the correct S/N but it's failed repeatedly. Plan to call tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] robertsydbrink:
Seen several people complain about the heat/warmth and I think mine dont get that warm. Just a little, in more a comfortable way to keep my hands warm :)

And battery time for me is simply amazing. I have used mine at work when I just have to sit a monitor my machine. Played Anomaly 2 for around 6 hours totally with all sync on always connected to 3G network. And I still had around 1/4 left of juice on it.

To me that's pretty good :)

I've sat up and played galaxy on fire 2 for 5 1/2 hours straight with 25% remaining. I've used this thing for school, 12 hours off the charger, all day use. Still left with 20% at the end of the day. Amazing battery life!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
I agree, but some still like to complain saying that battery life is better on the iPad - well it can do tons more stuff than an iPad so it drinking a little extra juice (if it even does) isnt the end of the world lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Yes, and the fact that the iPad handles one app at a time and freezes background apps should mean that it will get a bit better battery life because it does no true multitasking. But take into consideration everything the note does and the fact that I can get 35 hours of battery out of it and you can see why it's just that good. Heck, stanby time on this thing is the best I've seen on any Android device even the nexus 7.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
The lag's been discussed ad nauseam. Working within an app I've never seen any lag with the exception of the spinning wheel occasionally appearing when heavy processing's being done (EG: a large piece of multimedia content being saved to the Scrap Book, transferring big content between two open multiview windows). Look at this video. Whatever's happening in 4.4 (or not happening in 4.3) makes a world of difference in performance. If I pinch-zoom to see all my seven home screen panels on the N10.1-14 it's a painful experience. In the video below the N12 is as fast as my N3 (which is fast). There's currently some random transition lag (moving between home pages, app opening [depending on the app]) but based on the video below our problems should be solved with 4.4 (with or without M-UX). The h/w in the N10.1-14 is the same as the N12 in the video and both push an identical amount of pixels (299 PPI on a 10.1" display on the N10.1-14, 247 PPI on a 12.2" display on the N12) so there's no reason we won't end up with the same level of performance.

What about KNOX? The warranty counter affects "enthusiasts" (us) which make up less than 5% of the market. The other 95% don't even know they have a bootloader or what root means. They'll be no worse off for the KNOX warranty counter. Everyone thinks the warranty counter is some diabolic plan from Samsung to nail enthusiasts. It's not. Its primary purpose is to make it easier for highly managed networks to detect a device that's been tampered with when it tries to join the network. I connect to five highly managed networks and three are now using the KNOX warranty bit for security. And I still haven't seen a case posted on XDA where Samsung denied warranty coverage on a defective component (bad USB port, inop headphone jack, display failure) because the KNOX flag was tripped. If anyone else here has please post a link.

What screen brightness issue?

And what the hell does a JDI (Japan Display) video (the one you posted) have to do with the "pro's and con's" of the N10.1-14? HTC uses JDI displays (among others) on the One. There's over 70 pages talking about inconsistencies between panels in One forum. So if you're holding them up as some sort of bastion of greatness based on what their showing at a trade show you're way off base.

I agree the knox issue would only affect enthusiasts which are as you said a very small percentage of people. For me personally this would be a non issue had their been more development on this device with Roms but its a niche complaint.

The screen brightness issue that some users noticed was that blacks were not being displayed properly or appeared grayish when the brightness was turned up a few notches and the whites become extremely bright. This is a great screen however it can be an inconvenience in some games or when the device is used in dimly lit rooms where black is more noticeable (could be lcd tech). However this too is a very niche complaint as only enthusiasts would really bother or notice this.

Lag is a non issue for me, I noticed it perhaps once, but I dont use touch whiz anymore.

The only mainstream concern I have is Samsung forcing people in asian countries to buy Exynos versions of their devices, I would have loved the option to have a snapdragon variant but I could'nt find it in India, Singapore or Bangkok while traveling. Im sure this is going to be the case with the 8 inch note coming out which im still going to buy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
GSMArena's testing doesn't reflect what you're saying. Black at 50% brightness compared to 100% brightness on the N10.1-14 is just as linear as the N10 and N10.1-12 and the white test is equally linear. For what you're saying to be true the relationship between white and black would change dramatically at 100% brightness. The contrast ratio also remains consistent at both brightness levels. So if there's an issue it's certainly not showing in objective testing. I keep mine on auto-brightness with the manual adjustment slider about half way toward the max setting and haven't noticed what you're describing.

First got The p601 3g 32gb edition and was disappointed as the screen had an issue and then had to deal with returning the product. The p601 had alot of lag and even with nova launcher you could notice the lag while in the homescreen, i took advantage of the delay of returning the product to test the product. I installed several apps and tried browsing on it and loading full desktop web pages and then ofcourse youtube. I did install flash and demoed if it would actually play well. HD videos were pretty good but a slight stuttering here and there. Its noticeble for certain picky people like me. I decided i dint want an "almost experience" by saving a couple of bucks and wanted to make sure i get the full freaking experience. I got the p605 4g LTE 16gb version as 32 gb wasnt available, not an issue since we have an sd card slot upto 64gb. I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its super fast compared to the exynos version. I am just glad i returned it v:D :D :D :D :D GET THE P605 you wont REGRET!!!!!
