That application is probably the most useful application that HTC has come up with :D
[HD7 General] xma1e:
probably HTC's punishing MS for not letting it bloat the new OS
[HD7 General] Corias:
I wonder how MS let HTC to release apps with that design. They didn't even try to follow guidelines.

Lolwhat, Love app could be very useful instead of dice or coin :)
[HD7 General] schmoo:
Dont use the HTC category, use search to find HTC and you will all the HTC apps - One excellent one is "Attentive Phone"

Hi I have the Htc HD 7 on O2 network Uk and I have download all the Htc apps and are running fine.

although I do feel that htc hub is a waste on the phone. I t should have been more like how they have it on android. I beleive Microsoft is at fault.

But they are brilliant apps though too bad they dont compliment WM7 much as they do android .

Might get my self an Desire Hd as well :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] i_machine:
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me with my problem.

I want to make the Sense navbar (semi-)transparent on the Smoki X.1 ROM.

I already tried to, I edited the files in directly Rosie.apk (with Winrar), made them more transparent with Photoshop, saved the .apk and pushed it to my phone, restarted, but nothing changed. I also looked at some other mods with a transparent navbar (in the drawable folders), but the file structure seems different.

Can someone point out to me what specific files/images I need to edit? Or whether I need to edit another .apk as well.

Thanks in advance :)

[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Hmmm...interesting. After a few days use, and now reading your review, I'm starting to think there are two different versions out there.

While I agree with most of your comments, some of them seem totally off the mark for me, among those:

The Samsung email app seems pretty awful to me. It's painfully slow and takes ages to connect to POP3 or SMTP servers. It has also force closed a few times. Whereas the new GMail client is damn near perfect IMHO.

Also, I'm having trouble finding quite a few apps in the market. And it's not because they're not available in my country or not compatible with the Galaxy Tab. Latest example: UAE (Amiga emulator) for Android. Works fine, but I had to download it with my G1 and then transfer the apk to the Tab.

On the other hand, I find that the new Youtube client works flawlessly. Fast, smooth, auto-fullscreen in landscape mode. Awesome. Also, the browser is a delight. Blindingly fast (much faster than anything I've tried on my other Android devices) and amazingly intuitive to use (stuff like automatically scaling the text perfectly, ultra smooth pinch-to-zoom, very flexible editing options in textboxes etc.)

Finally, and this seems the weirdest discrepancy of all: My screen is most-certainly not matte. It's high gloss and very attractive to fingerprints.

So? Two versions of the Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
excellent first review and i agree with all the points being using the tab since one week....

thanks for putting that down mate.....
[Galaxy Tab General] Khisha:
+1. I definitely share your impression all the way. I also have glossy very fingerprint friendly screen with the same behaviour. Fast browser, flawless youtube, and good gmail app.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Well, i dont know why, but id guess youre running different firmware... could you tell us what it is please?
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Sure.

Bought the phone in Switzerland, unbranded unlocked version. Running on Swisscom network.

I haven't rooted it or modified anything yet, so this is still retail version.

From the device info tab (translated freely from german, please forgive any errors):

Model: GT-P1000

Firmware Version: 2.2

Basebandversion: P1000XXJID

Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9 root@sep-58 #1

Build Number: FROYO.XXJID
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Mine is exactly the same. However, the Webkit browser is definitely not smooth. I am using the Flash player update, so it may be partly responsible.

How very strange... im using webkit to access the android version of igoogle with 10 fully expanded widgets right now. Its definitely not smooth.

Definitely not like iOS or Opera Mini are smooth.
[Galaxy Tab General] Khisha:
I would suggest everyone will dial *#1234# and put in here all the info about firmware.

What I got is PDA and CSC are JJ2 and PHONE JJ1.

CSC is locally branded for my operator (Cellcom)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
My Italian tab bought in Russia:

PDA: P1000XXJID

PHONE: P1000XXJID

CSC: P1000OXAJID
[Galaxy Tab General] ballah:
Could you test it with Quadrant and let me know what the score is? :)
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
$1200 ?!!! Seriously, that much? Not worth it really. I mean I have an Epic 4g so I can attest to how good the Galaxy line is but to pay that much is ridiculous really. No offense though if you can afford it but that's a lot for this thing.

Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
I share the same experiences as others in regards to the Samsung email client.

It's good but it is slow.

Fortunately, Nitrodesk just released a new version of Touchdown a few days ago which supports Tab devices and has the same layout as the Samsung email app.

The major advantage is that it is not slow at all and has ton of more exchange features.

I also find the browser problematic and slow, with our without flash (just like the SGS). there is something very wrong about the browser sumsung is releasing with 2.2 and i hope it can be fixed with future firmwares.

Strangely enough, using Dolphin HD (which is also using the same libwebcore.so file) is resulting is a slightly better experience.

Other than that i am really enjoying the Tab. there is no lag at all in the OS (minus the browser). Youtube works just fine for me and the video player did play every file i threw at it until now.

I find the battery life very good and i am heavy user. i get more than on full day with heavy use.

You *should* be getting 8 hours usage with screen on (i.e. actual usage).

Update: i do find the task bar drawer to be jittery for some reason on any firmware BUT XXJI5. on JI5 it is super smooth and solid so i am not sire what Samsung hanged in all other firmwares that makes it so slow.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I paid about the same as most eu states for one of 10 that a friend actually shipped from Italy as a test batch. Others are paying 700 to 900 euro.
[Galaxy Tab General] ahm1010:
Hi

Couple of web sites indicated that galaxy tab is using atmel screen where it allows using solid objects like stylus and not only finger touch. Could please confirm if stylus working with galaxy tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Its a capacitive display, so a capacitive stylus will work.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] k2bikerider:
Review looks good, Look forward to seeing it when released in the US...
[Galaxy Tab General] Garret:
Nice review :)

A small note about the section where you mention the lack of a kickstand. There are many cases ( official & third party ones ) that allow you to use it like a laptop ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] AndyCr15:
Is there a good site for Tab accessories? I want to contact and see if they want anything reviewing :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Garret:
You should contact "zenus" and review some of those great-looking cases they have. It's a shame they have no reps in Europe... :( I think they're Korean or sth.

That's their official site, check those great cases ( some forum members already bought galaxy tab cases from zenus )

[Galaxy Tab General] alrey:
heres my review after 3 months of using it (more or less the same as the first post):

pros

- great size. fits in the pockets of my shorts and pants.

- good email app. with conversation view and can view pasted images in body.

- good calendar with features to display local holidays and birthdays.

- as far as i know, the only tablet that can function as a phone also.

cons

- not as snappy as ipad.

- default browser really needs a speed boost especially if the site has flash contents. im using firefox as an alternative if i dont need flash.

- its functioning as a speaker phone w/ everyone near you hearing the conversation. the only way to solve this is to use a headset. why not make the speaker and microphone placement more like the regular phone and tone down the speaker as it can be placed near your ear? speaker phone is an option. i don't mind holding it beside my face :)

- the gingerbread update is taking forever to reach the philippines. believe it will help a lot in speeding up the SGT as i have a HD2 thats snappy with gingerbread ver 2.3.3 and then later with 2.3.4.
[Galaxy Tab General] alrey:
i could not wait anymore and flashed to 2.3.3. everything is faster now :). although i still get this feeling that it is less responsive than ipad. maybe because sometimes when i click something it does not register and i have to click again.. or when i flicked the screen lightly and it does not move.

why do i get the feeling that java is at fault here. ive had bad experiences in java:

- Azureus

- our jsp pages at work :(

- web sites of our business partners written in java

- our document management system that is java based

- ... the list is endless

and when i tried to program in java .. i hate it because it so verbose that you have to type so many thing to do such a little thing.

my experiences with C is the opposite,

- fast C programs running in unix

- utorrent

- etc.

and ipad apps are written in object C! can you see how responsive the ipad is even on games?
[Galaxy Tab General] mclaren2:
hmmm... facing a rather difficult choice here. i own a htc desire and very happy with it.

but im looking for something which i can have in my hands while relaxing in the sofa and browsing the web etc.

as i like android and see that the prices of the galaxy tab have dropped much lately, im really considering this one now.

but then: the ipad 2 - which i hear gr8 things of - is only 100€ more - wifi only.

as i would use it mostly at home anyway wifi should be ennough. if not, i plan to use my htc desire (data flatrate is included in my phone contract) as a mobile modem via bluetooth - will that work with the galaxy tab (im pretty sure about it) and with the ipad 2 (not so sure about it)?
[Galaxy Tab General] koovoodoo:
Yeah, I don't have alot of experience, but it seems like a really good device so far. Still new android
[Galaxy Tab General] robobear:
its great tablet for me... not tiring my hand, slips in to my pocket, flash, and my freedom to tweak and choose whatever i want to put on it..

hurrah to overcome hermes though for making tab experience 10x better

[Galaxy Tab General] mharty1972:
yup i agree very glossy fingerprint attracted screen. the youtube app works well for me too and since the update to gingerbread everything is a lot faster.

all in all i love my tab great games ,great video great battery life and its portable sweet.
[Galaxy Tab General] zakkenjongen:
Good review, thank you, it helped me in making the choice of buying a Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Declan79:
Mine

Pros :

-just like others post:) : handy,exactly what i need,customized

Cont :

-limited multitasking, after upgrading to gingerbread by samsung centre in my place, just exactly before i try to rooting....suddenly blank and really died. this means no recovery mode or kiess or other way. this morning i've checked on samsung, i will get new korean battery(my previous china is no problemo at all, status 91% last time gtab ON and new machine:confused:

Wonder how those gtab user whom already custom ROM,rooting, etc to take more control on the device
[Galaxy Tab General] naimmkassim:
Are you sure you dont mind holding it near your ear? Its look odd.

Now Im in dillema, still try to figure out how to carry it around, I dont have a big pocket. Thinking to buy a small bag and put my SGT in and carry it away, but would it be to bulky for me to carry this 7" tablet, its more easy and convinience to carry my 4.3" sensation, just put it in my pocket.

About the calling, not really feel good if someone else were listening also when you using loudspeaker (especially private one :D). Dont like the stock headset with all those wiring, I'm tinking to buy a BT headset, or should I just stick to use my htc sensation as a phone and SGT as a multimedia experience only.

Ohh..confiussssss..... :o

Edit 1: I like my SGT mainly because of its screen is bigger than my 4.3" sensation & convinience in my one hand :).

Edit 2: I also like my tab more than my Note book due to below reason which note book could not do;-

a) My tab can take picture.

b) My tab can video record.

c) My tab can make a phone call.

d) My tab can make a video call.

e) My tab can send sms.

:D:D
[Galaxy Tab General] OberonSnowcat:
I've been running a GTab since late Feb and so far have loved it because of it's utility, portability, and ease of use. It may not be quite as smooth as the iPad in some areas, and is being left as a dead end by Samsung, wish they would support it a bit better. However there is an active dev community out there who has provided many things including the rom and the overclock that I use on it.

With the overclock on I generally get between 6 and 8 hours of screen time before the battery dies, usually enough time to have a full day before going home and plugging it in for the night.

I've also found that it is decently durable with a couple of 3ft drops onto pavement the only signs that it did fall was some scratches on one of the corners that did nothing to affect the function of the device. I use the Samsung case which is rather minimal but protects the faces without getting in the way of the screen.

Pros- Portable

Durable

Light-weight

Functional

Cons- Slight Lag

Lack of Functional Sync Software

Hard to read in direct sunlight
[Galaxy Tab General] naimmkassim:
Drop your tab!!!! That was something I could not accept if it happen to me. I would kill my self before I drop my tab ;P , if drop, i'm die!! (keep crossing finger so that my tab is not drop)
[Galaxy Tab General] FC1032:
Most of the your stuff have been covered...

But I really really wanted Samsung to eventually add USB support. Another gripe is tat the keyboard dock only works in portrait. If it worked in Landscape or in both orientation I would have bought one
[Galaxy Tab General] naimmkassim:
I heard some one else saying this;-

"If you have an android phone, you are a geek!!"

If you have a tablet android oversized phone, then you are an uber geek!!"

ROFL..hahahaha..lol!!!!

I agree with those people and I'm one of the proud geek to use this SGT!! :D
[Galaxy Tab General] SolarusArc:
I regretted purchasing mine. I bought mine in November on the first day they were available in the US. Mine is the T-Mobile version and I'm really glad I did the month to month thing and not contact.

At first, I was very exicted about my purchase , then about 6 months later my Tab died. Nothing I did would allow it to turn on. So I went back to the T-Mobile store where I purchased it. They made a couple of calls and said I would have to deal directly with Samsung, they weren't allowed to troubleshoot or service the Galaxy Tab.

So I called Samsung, told them what product I had, the model #, the serial #, where I was calling from (I live in the US) and what my problem was. The call went downhill from there very quickly. After telling the support person my tablet wouldn't power on, I was asked if I was calling from it. Then I was told to yank the battery out and put it back in. (which you can't do without voiding the warranty). Anyway, I spoke to a supervisor who basically asked me the same stupid questions and made the same stupid comments, he even went as far as to tell me I couldn't speak to anyone above him and that I was as high up the chain of command as I could go.

It also took them almost a month to repair my Tab, they don't do advanced replacements. They also don't know how to track your product once it arrives either.

I'll never purchase another Samsung Mobile product, their servie is just awful, absolutely horrible.

Hope you guys have better luck with your Tab than I have had with mine, it's not working right again and quite frankly I'm not going through the hassle of calling their "support" people again, the first time was enough for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] naimmkassim:
If I may question, before you tab dead, what did you do? did you root and install custom rom? Or is it still in stock rom?
[Galaxy Tab General] gino8080:
I like it, but it's a bit too heavy
[Galaxy Tab General] naimmkassim:
This tab is for a geek thing,,of cause its heavy,,but not so heavy compare to apple one :B
[Galaxy Tab General] domnukalu:
I have my Tab for a month now.

I've read some of the post, sory if I skipped some pages, but I wanted to say some things about it:

my battery seams to come from another planet, never really measured, but I charge it all night, and once over the day. I use it mainly for web browsing. I saw the reviews with 9-10 hours, mine can barely get to 4-5. And that's a HUGE difference.

Another MINUS: the white back became very ugly, getting a brown shade on the back, in 3 days after I bought it. it looks like I scratched the floor with it, and it looks 2 years old.

MINUS: getting very hot. I know it has a processor and a cooling system, but with no connection (no gps, wi fi, etc, just plain HDSPA GSM) it's heating very fast.

MINUS: I've installed 17 pages of apps, and starting-up takes 2-3 minutes more than in the beggining.

MINUS: built-in email app and gmail app wok in the same time, can's uninstall gmail app.

MINUS: some problems with gps signal, the navigation app would need a big update, it's hard to enter a street number.

MINUS: default web browser wil force u to mobile version of the website.

PLUS: Opera browser, is a must for SGT, webpages showing great.

PLUS: using hacker's keyboard will give you a very decent 5-rows keyboard, for those tricky caps-lock passwords.

PLUS: XDA's existance :D
[Galaxy Tab General] Declan79:
having my SGT P1000 for about 5 months :

1. Flashing & rooting from the 1st time unboxed

2. Upgrade from froyo - ginger

3. Replacement PBA&battery at Samsung Centre

4. Back to gb, flashing to DXJPE (hold not to dxjpi)

till now still on dxjpe and getting more and more into this magnificent 7 even getting another Galaxy
[Galaxy Tab General] huney:
SGT Rocks!

I've had my SGT for about a month or so...

Luckily, got mine and its already on official Gingerbread ROM...

Can't complain :) Even on original, unrooted state, the customization seems endless!

Especially now when i got the thumb keyboard, makes typing in both portrait and landscape a total breeze.

Hope we get more android based apps and games.

This is a keeper, even subsequent to the release of tab 10.1....

SGT 7 is a keeper!
[Galaxy Tab General] hiu115:
wow, after reading people's problems here, I began to think why i bought my tab.

Well, the very reason i bought it was because i wanted to be cool having an android tablet with high specs, beating the a** out of my friend's HTC Desire.

And seriously, $1200 for your galaxy tab :confused:? that's more expensive than the Xoom.
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
But 7.7 ;)

Had mine nearly a year now, got it when it first came out for around £400.

Served me well as an multimedia device. But after using the dualcore ipads, honeycomb tablets etc. My tab seems mediocre now :(

Wish it was faster
[Galaxy Tab General] maggievideo:
2gb limit

I can upload my 3.2GB video to my tab, but I found that it can not be played.

And then I tried to split it into 1.6GB, it can be played well with its video player.

So I am wondering if this tab has a limit of 2gb video playback.

Sorry for this newbie question.
[Galaxy Tab General] teffers:
Had mine 2 weeks. Paid £149 for it :-)

Only real fault is a pressure point on the back of the casing produces a worrying mark on the screen itself, which has developed a permanent (if quite small) cluster of damaged pixels.

Not going to return it as it was purchased from Tesco as they were binning off their store stock so it would have to be a refund - considering a Samsung warranty repair but it's barely noticable at this point.

Overall very happy, but like a previous poster I'm after a 10" HC tab now :D (Xoom most likely) and have given the GStab to my other half.
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
£150!?

Direct from Tesco?!

Its good, no problem with battery.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Well hello everyone! I havent looked at this thread for a while. I think in the interim there have been six or seven tablets at my disposal, all i think better than this first attempt... Its quite tragic actullay that noone bothered starting out at a more ipad like resolution until it was too late.

Come to think of it, i was naive to buy this. I thought its sixe and style was what i needed, but really good ol jobs hit the thing spot on. I needed something like an ipad running android and this wasnt it...

By the way weve got 2 in the office and they both have dead batteries. I was thinking to turn one into a navigator or something...

[Galaxy Tab General] Dhekelian:
I found dealing with Samsung a right pain. Yhey were polite enough but they didn't seem to know what was going on. I had to send my tab back 3 times. the last time was due to it not updating through Kies.

My tab is unlocked but I was stuck on an old firmware despite Gingerbread and even a more up to date Foyo being released but even though Samsung themselves had my phone they didn't seem to know about the UK Gingerbread release.

As far as the tab goes I have a love hate relationship with it. It used to freeze a lot and apps used to slow and stutter so much so I waited for the years guarantee to run out and have just installed Overcome and it seems so far so good but there are a few minor problems.
