[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
When I created this thread I was leaning away from getting this tablet. But you guys have really turned my opinion around. Also, on top of these responses I've found out that the device includes such things as an IR blaster (I'm not mistaken right?) which is something that won't exist on the Nexus. Also, the dimensions of the device are the same as the iPad 4, but with a larger 16x10 screen. I might hate a lot of what Apple does, but I agree with the dimensions of the iPad being a nice fit for a tablet, minus the 4x3 screen (what decade is this lol). Every single 10" Android tablet is long and short making books look weird when in portrait mode.

All that on top of the S-pen, multi-window, hard buttons instead of a navigation bar and a fully functioning root has got me really interested now. So, I contacted Amazon to see if they'd extend their $50 gift card promotion to the black 32gb version (currently only for the 16gb white) and they said that they'd be happy to make an exception, but they'd have to run it by their promotional department first. I expect to hear from them within the next 24-48 hours.

Long story short, Iooks like I'll be joining your ranks guys :)

P.S. if you guys have other things to add about the device, I'd love to hear it. Been checking up on this thread constantly. :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
Agreed. Honestly all it needs is the bloat removed and with root you can do that through titanium.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] edthesped:
I don't get it... The device is a failure because there is no developer action? In pretty happy with my note and much like my s3 and Gnex before it I wouldn't run 3rd party software on it anyway. I would, however, root and de bloat if I could do it without tripping Knox.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] icebergisonfire:
Agreed. Is there a guide about what I can remove through Titanium? I've rooted my tablet but with hat it does, I'm not really asking for much. It was great out of the box.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
This. We definitely need to put together a de-bloat guide. It's the very first thing I do with my android devices. I wonder if we can use the Note 3's information to compile a list?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ettepetje:
I seem to remember a topic with apps which can be disabled, without root. Not many posts there yet. Will look it up..... Done

There are 2 in fact:

- Disabling Apps

- [Q] Removing Bloat...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jaztech:
I've had both the original Samsung tab 10.1 and. Galaxy note 10.1. Both tablets needed development and rooting straight out of the box. They were both lacking in functionality and had significantly more lag. I rooted and installed custom roms for those devices because it was needed. I can honestly say for me at this point there is no absolute need for any rooting or rom develppment. Although people say there is lag on this device, this device with nothing but 3 software updates from samsung is leaps and bounds faster and more responsive than my previous develpoed devices. This is the product Samsung should have come out from the beginning. There are a couple things that can be done to increase speed such as installing nova launcher but these are minor things anyone can do. Hope this helps to change your mind :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
Have lost interest in rooting/custom ROMs since benefits like free WIFI tethering can be achieved without it with toggle widgets, Jelly Bean support debloating by disabling apps, etc. while there are benefits to staying stock such as to avoid invalidating warranty, maintaining stability and features like multi-window multi-tasking. Once Google include built-in support for wireless bluetooth PS3 game controller to replace root required SixAxis controller app it erases any need to root/custom ROM for me. So, this is a non-issue when I get the Note 12.2 Snapdragon 800.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] atg284:
wait...how do you get the PS3 game controller to work without root? I want to sue mine but do not want to root the tablet. Does it automatically set up the joysticks too or does it use them like a D-pad? It didnt pair when I tried it. Thanks for any tips! :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Stocklone:
I absolutely LOVE it for note taking capability. The trick is finding the note taking app that works best for you. I personally love Quill but other people like other apps. I hate S Note though. It should be called Sh!t Note. I've been taking notes for over a year and have not touched a paper notebook since I bought the original note 10.1. My personal recommendation for screen protector is ArmorShield because it is kind of squishy which gives you a little more drag and I think makes it feel more natural. I have all of my notes in one place, tagged and organized. My co-workers have a pile of notebooks and sticky notes with no idea where anything is. It's a beautiful thing and my notes will never be heaving than 1.2 lbs. The best part is that the width of the screen in landscape is the width of a regular sized sheet of paper. The new high res screen and better S Pen makes for some beautiful notes. I could not recommend more for note taking. I love it. It's been a game changer without a doubt. I has completely redefined how I work and what I can do. I literally have the equivalent of having a notepad with a camera attached to it. I'm doing things at work my co-workers can only dream of. :)

I wish I had this in college honestly. I'd have a folder of files instead of 4 boxes full of notebooks.

I rooted it. I disabled knox and s finder with titanium backup. With the latest update and having root which allows me to use the 3rd party apps I need to make this tablet usable, I actually love using it. Before I could mod it though, I wanted to break this tablet in half. I hated being forced to use the physical buttons in the center and S Finder replacing Google Now. Rooting is super easy for the wi-fi edition if you don't care about tripping the warranty bit. I imagine with each update it's only going to get better. It took the original Note 10.1 4 months before Samsung finally optimized everything and squashed the lag. I'm hoping the same thing happens with the 2014 edition.

I'm still annoyed Samsung is using a phone notification shade instead of the new tablet one Google designed but I can live with it. It just looks absolutely ridiculous. I'm hoping Samsung will eventually fix that in an update but I doubt it. Samsung may know how to add valuable features, they have no clue when it comes to software design it seems.

My view of this tablet is very negative for non-note takers because i think you can have a better cheaper experience elsewhere. But for people doing note taking, it has few peers. My wife's Surface pro 2 can also do some amazing things for note taking with Office 2013, but she paid 3x what I paid and has to deal with different set of trade-offs. It's in a completely different class.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
Wireless bluetooth PS3 controller support via SixAxis app still requires root until Google add built-in support in future Android release. For now, PS3 controller works with USB cable without rooting.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] atg284:
Ah I see. I guess I was hoping google already had support for it and I don't really want to root right now :/

I did play around a little bit with it directly plugged in but the joysticks did not seem to work. Also with it plugged in do you need an app to map the buttons? if so, which one is the best for that? When I tried playing Asphalt 7 I did not see a section in the settings for controller support :/

Thanks a ton for any help!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
Wow! It sounds great. I'll definitely look into that screen guard and app as well. Thanks for this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
Works on unrooted Note 3 via wired with genuine Sony PS3 controller on Samsung Smart Dock (without this pretty sure you'll need USB OTG cable), without any special app like SixAxis Controller and Asphalt 7 even though controller is unlisted in settings. Should be identical on Note 10.1 2014. Just make sure you plug in the controller first and confirm it's working by navigating the home menu (if you can't get this far make sure you have USB OTG cable). Then, launch Asphalt 7, go into controller settings and select one of the two non-accelerometer options so it doesn't throw off your steering on uneven surface then just play.

I've yet to try games that don't have native wired controller support with the help of SixAxis Controller app to map physical controls to virtual screen controls but it should work according to the links below. I'll update when I get a chance to confirm.

You rock! Thanks a ton for the information. It's greatly appreciated. I will give this a try :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] redstar299:
Even if you don't need the pen... the screen is amazing. I had a Nexus 10 which has the same resolution, but the colors on this display arent so vibrant I personally feel it's the note has a better display. Not hating on the Nexus it's a good tablet, works well but I just felt the color was a little dull in comparison. Multitasking is really good on this device as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Crazypinoy9:
The only thing people need to do is after root is remove the bloat and tweak it using Wanam....and make sure it's updated to the latest firmware cuz the latest update makes the UI so much snappier.

I came from the Nexus 10 and the previous note 10.1. This is a night and day difference. In terms of developer support I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure eventually there will be at least a few roms...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] HeathicusF:
Like others here, I have rooted and put a custom ROM on every Android device I've had. But, I feel no need to do that with the Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). I love the performance. I love the features. There are some things I dislike (such as bloatware like My Magazine, and "grouped" apps in the app drawer that I can't find a way to ungroup), but they are really quite minor. So far, this is the most perfect Android device I've ever used.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ajamudc:
+1. I sorry that some have been having issues, but I have to second this. This is the best Android device I've ever had. I did root mine, but only because I wanted to remove a specific feature (waking with the home button). Performance-wise, I have no complaints.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] py3693:
I got mine yesterday. I use it for mainly for note taking. The new S-note work wells with Evernote (you can now view the contents of the synced notes). I was able to root it and use Titanium Backup to disable Knox. However, PPTP does not work on this device. I use the VPN Root and the log file show missing pptp kernel. That's the only set back for me, but I can live with it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dr.m0x:
It's only the second best Android device I've ever owned, in the sense that if I had to choose only one device I'd take the Note 3 over the tablet.

Not DOA
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] greyhulk:
Just to chime in: I don't think the tablet is doing very well, but I also don't think it's DOA. Price may be holding it back a little. I also recommend getting the 32 gb model for only $50 more. The "move to SD" thing doesn't really work like it's supposed to. It doesn't actually move the files to the SD, it simply emulates them on internal storage, freeing up nothing.

For me, this is the only tablet with this screen, the SPen, and the ability to run two apps at once. Don't underestimate the utility of a tablet that will allow you to browse the web while watching a YouTube video. You certainly can't do that on an iPad.

I think the only reason it's not doing very well (relatively, I'm sure sales are still good enough) is that when people think tablet they don't really think tablet at all. Your average retard on the street thinks iPad thanks to apples marketing and has no idea what the Note can really do.

Having all my notes in one place, being able to index and search them with s finder, these things are invaluable to me.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
^^^^ lmao @ "retard" That earned you a thanks lol

Yea man the iPad isn't a tablet, It's an overgrown iPhone that can't make calls. The only thing "tablet" about it is it's size.

To think that costs nearly the same as this with a fraction of the features and capabilities. The power that effective marketing has is incredible.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] greyhulk:
While I agree that Android (and especially the Note 10.1) makes for a much better tablet experience, you can't discount the fact that developers are making many more Tablet specific apps for iOS. I have to keep an iPad around just because it has great apps for controlling my Foscams and a few other odds and ends that just aren't covered well in Android.

That being said, I mostly read on my tablet and watch YouTube videos and the Note's ability to run two apps at once gives it the automatic win for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] v8esprit:
Devs aren't developing because it is Exynos. Look at the development going on the Note 3 with a SnapDragon. SnapDragon LTE Note 10.1 2014 arrives and a lot of the work will be transferable. Im hoping for a Note 12.2 with SnapDragon 800. Expect to see the developers from the Note3 port their stuff to it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] adamantypants:
As this device is only a month old, there are still relatively few developers with it. I've been using this forum for years now and one thing I've learned is that early adopters get the shift. Devs love to squeeze the power out of their devices so when new ones come out they're not always the first go jump on.

In my experience devices that release toward the end of the year typically see developer support right after black Friday. It's a twofold positive, if the device we want is on sale, interested developers buy it and we finally reap the benefits.

Wireless car charger solved

I am currently using a GS3 with the palm wireless charging guts glued into my phone's back cover. Obviously, I use a plam touchstone to charge it. I replaced the steel discs from the pixi cover with rare earth magnets in my setup. no problems with compass or nfc resulting.

Car setup. I have a touchstone in my car, and after a lot of experimentation, here are my best practices. It's important to note that magnetic power is great for directional pull to hold the phone to the charger, but the pull is uni-directional, not omni-directional, i.e. the phone will stick to the charger, but can easily slide off of it. The fix for this is friction. Covering the surface of the charger with something like this solves the issue. I found a stupid expensive "micro suction cup" sheet withe 1000's of micro suction cups per square inch on one side, and a very strong adhesive back on the other. it works great, but I don't know where to get it anymore. $40 for an 8x8 sheet. I suspect the grip go uses something similar. Good luck.

My Apologies to Mods, for any mistakes this time ....

suppose this may have been asked in the past, not that I am seeing it in this annoying similar themes frame that keeps sinking lower and lower on my screen as a I type (ARR!!), but I am looking for the interface from original Splintercell games.

To be honest, I have never played the new games for the franchise but I am particularly disappointed with the direction they have taken. The suit and silenced pistol were the trademarks of Splintercell and without them, that game is likened to Grand Theft Auto.

If anyone could make a realistic OPSAT interface in line with canonical Splintercell, I would really appreciate it.
