I bought the "RiDATA Lightning Series 16GB" from newegg, sold as a Class 6 card. Wanted some extra space, and Class 6 would've been a nice upgrade.

I definitely got some extra storage, but the speed was an all-around downgrade from my 4GB Kingston Class 2 which tested as a Class 5. The highest speed I've seen for the RiDATA is just under 4MB/s sequential read, everything else is abysmal. All speed test apps call it class 2 read/write, and the write speed even falls to class 1 at times. I've tried testing the speed through a usb adapter, through the charging cable... same results. Also tried formatting in different ways and different chunk sizes, nothing.

Probably going to RMA and hope that RiDATA sends me an actual Class 6 card.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hazell222:
Great info! Thanks. Thinking about getting a 16GB card, 4GB isn't cutting it for me.

Hi,

I have a compilation album (Ministry of Sound) 3cd, is there a way to get the player to see them as 3cds but without naming the albums cd1,cd2 & cd3. I have tried using Mp3tag. Putting discnumber 1/3,2/3 & 3/3 but it only shows up as one album.

Any help would be grateful....

Cheers.

hi there

i am a noob i just brought vibrant previously using htc hero...

i tried to flash bionix and bionix fusion with the new 1.2 ghz oc...

phone works well except when i play games like asphalt, neocore my phone freezes then i have to remove the battery and insert again...

what could be the problem

i am using J12 RADIO....

PLEASE HELP ....

VIBRANT IS 100% AN IPHONE KILLER ... LOVE IT....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thegreat520:
mine does the same thing not really sure why yet but if your using setcpu just put the speed at 1000 on both the proformance is unnoticable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarif_ziaee:
i had kept setcpu max 1000 and min 200 still it freezes when running heavy graphics games
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Your phone might not play nice with that kernel. Try flashing core 1.0 instead and see if that helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Yes, not all phones are stable when overclocked. Use the stock kernel and you should be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98classic:
^^^ this, but I'm sure you knew that since it says so every where.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
My phone runs great at 1.2Ghz with JAC's XMOD Voodoo kernel, but locks up constantly with Core, OCed or not. Try swapping kernels, but don't give up on the OC yet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafaesto:
I'm having the same exact issue, mine will just lock up for no reason sometimes as well. I'm not sure what it is, I kind of feel like it's the rom. I had problems originally with fusion to begin with. Maybe I'm not doing a proper procedure to install it?

Is it because I'm wiping and going straight to fusion? Please anyone else are you having this issue, I'm getting frustrated and feel my phone is slightly useless like this. I HATE stock.

Edit: Setcpu doesn't let me set to 1000 with Core 1.2Ghz, I can only get 1000 if I use Core 1.0Ghz (obviously). Again though, same issue regardless.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
Core is still in beta status and not all the bugs have been worked out yet. The issue the OP is having has been mentioned before in the Core thread in the Dev section and on the TeamWhiskey.com forums as well.

OP: To alleviate the freezing issue you're having, flash the 1.0GHz CoreV1 instead of the 1.2GHz CoreV1

Hi

Is there an app which allows your computer to text people remotely from your computer? Like a customised app for the pc which connects to your phone via bluetooth/wifi and just lets you access your phonebook and text people etc. I've tried PicMe but i think it lags too much and lets face it, its designed for a touch screen rather than a pc.

[Galaxy Tab General] johnnewhouse:
it costs $215 to manufacture, there will be a bit more in distribution and software.

http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns-Manufacturing-and-Pricing/News/Pages/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Carries-$205-Bill-of-Materials-iSuppli-Teardown-Reveals.aspx

that's a resounding yes from me
[Galaxy Tab General] mrmilo69:
I saw this earlier and I understand the obscene profit margins are commonplace so I have disregarded it. I think it should have been cheaper definitely. I feel if someone is just in the market for a tablet and isn't really into Android it wouldn't get a second look as it doesn't have any SUPER AMAZING BLEEDING EDGE killer functions to take the shine off the iPad and I don't think it offers enough new things to appeal to a lot of hardcore android followers. Galaxy S having problems certainly hasn't helped.

Market share = excellent hardware + near enough faultless software + 20% lower than apple product

They should have thrown in the Keyboard at this price and maybe Co-Pilot or something
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
I think the Tab is a LITTLE overpriced, but not monstrously.

The best way to assess this matter is to compare it to its contemporaries, such as the iPad. Now, I won't go in to a full comparison here, but I wil simply say that the Tab does more than the iPad, and yet costs about as much as one.

Not too shabby ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] Ravynmagi:
I think it should be $100 cheaper ($400 wifi, $500 3G).

But considering the current state of competition, it's no surprise they are charging as much as they are.
[Galaxy Tab General] zyborg:
Why don't you make is possible to vote for this? ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
I really don't think it's overpriced. It's a bit cheaper than its immediate rival, the 3G+WiFi iPad, and around here at least, that puts it right in the same ballpark as most of the other newer higher end phones.

The Tab goes for between 900 and 1100$ here in Switzerland, which is almost identical to the prices of the various iPhone 4 models. Galaxy S goes for a bit less (around 100$ less in most places). Considering that the Tab is clearly the most attractive of the available devices, being near the top of the price scale seems justified.

Btw, if google is to be trusted in this matter, it seems the manufactoring costs for the iPhone 4 are around 180$. Again, seems to be comparable.
[Galaxy Tab General] interqd:
for it is cheap here in indonesia.. only about us$700 50$ cheaper than galaxy s and 100$ expensiver than iphone4
[Galaxy Tab General] spekesel:
I got my tab for 650 euros. Similar ipad is 600.

It IS slightly too expensive, but the raw materials cost breakdown doesn't tell the whole story, you also have to consider

R&D

Internal Testing

Manufacturing

Shipping

Support

Local Taxes

Plus a healthy profit (we all want to make some money).

Considering all that, plus that I am happy to support Android vs Apple, I find it slightly too expensive, but not enough to make me change my mind.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Overpriced? Yes. Awesomeley awesome? Also yes.

But it really is a well-built, svelte device i would much rather carry with me than an ipad. Since i take my laptop (timelinex 3820tg) almost everywhere anyway, why would i want a device of similar size?

When the second gen tegra tablets arrive i will certaily get a 10 inch device to have at home. To play with in front of the telly or read papers on the loo. But for now this is the best mobile slate on the market, and i have no reservations about dishing out the $1200 they cost here in russia.

So good is the tab that i have even convinced a hardcore iphoney friend of mine to get one instead of an ipad. Hes over the moon with joy.
[Galaxy Tab General] agp64:
In Thailand a 16 GB version is the same price as the Samsung Galaxy S $772.6046 US.

If it was $500 US I would pick one up as soon as it was back in stock, But it seams there is high demand here so why not get as much as you can for you product while you can. We all know there will be a flood of Android devices soon then they will be a dime a dozen just like the apple I phone 3 is here now.
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
I find it slightly suspicious that iSuppli has decided it costs ~$10 to put the Tab together but hasn't quoted manufacturing costs in the past for other devices, just the price of components.

So, with that in mind, I'm going to base what I say purely on the estimated cost of parts.

So on top of that ~$205 value (which is in itself a rough estimate and may not be accurate), there's the cost of putting it together, distributing it, marketing it, R&D for both hardware and software and then a profit margin because, lets face it, Samsung are not a charity.

And that's just before we reach the price that Samsung are selling it on for, there's a whole extra layer of distribution and marketing costs for individual retailers plus their profit margin as well plus the possibility that there's a distributor between Samsung and the retailer, who will have their own costs and profit margin to add on too.

Comparing the cost of the parts to what we pay is a waste of time.

Comparing the value of the parts and the price we pay to other devices is a slightly better way of rating a product's value - the parts are worth more than the iPhone's but the Tab (here in the UK at least) costs about the same as the 16GB iPhone4 and less than the 32GB one.

What I will say though is that the plans being offered by UK networks for the Tab are a rip-off but that's a separate matter.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Picked up my Tab yesterday from PC World for £499 without contract/SIM, and that's bang on the price point I expected it to ship at. If you view the Tab as essentially a cell phone with a larger screen and battery, I'd say at that price point it comes in pretty favourably when compared to similar cell phones (e.g. Galaxy S, Desire HD etc).

I do love it when you get these teardowns that supposedly calculate the "cost" of a product, but in reality all this is the bill of materials, and fails to take into account everything else involved in designing, developing, sourcing, manufacturing, advertising, distributing, retailing, and supporting a product!

Make no mistake, Samsung will have to sell an awful lot of these to actually turn a profit on the line.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
I bought mine from Currys (which is a sister company to PC-World, both owned by Dixons Plc.). It cost 499 GBP/£ with a free voice/data SIM card (and dongle, in my case) on a rolling contract (15 GBP/month, but can be deactivated and restarted at any time). It's expensive, but on a par with other high-end smartphones and tablets.

I will try the 10" Advent Vega tablet when it comes out on November 18 (250 GBP Tegra 2 device), but to be honest I am really pleased with the 7" form factor, which manages to be pocketable whilst offering a touch experience that doesn't hurt my eyes after 10 minutes (unlike small mobile phone displays).

A note about the Galaxy Tab display: there are mixed reviews, some say the view angles, color saturation and crispness are great, others the contrary (they even say there is ghosting due to the slow refresh rate). I think both camps are right: this is clearly not the best display on the touch market (the IPS screen on the iPhone / iPad just looks awesome !), but conversely it is clearly amongst the better ones. The Android firmware offers settings in the configuration panel to adjust the white/black balance and saturation. The manual brightness adjustment also needs to be used to get the best results depending on the environment. As for ghosting: yeah, the fonts sometimes look a little jagged when scrolling screens, but it's really not a big deal at all (it's not perceivable with most apps, to be honest).
[Galaxy Tab General] zen123:
I bought mine from currys.co.uk @ £499 through quidco so got a voucher for £25 off plus 3% cashback. So totally I paid £464.

However I still think its a bit (not much) too expensive. If Samsumg could have sold it @ £399 - £429 it would be perceived as much more value for money by the masses. I totally agree with previous poster about the UK networks overcharging for the Tab. Total cost of ownership over a 2yr contract totalling over £1k is taking the piss.

Now for me the Tab ticks all the boxes so even @ £499 I'd still buy it. One complaint I have is that Samsung could have at least thrown in some sort of protective case even it was one of those cheap neoprene type ones.
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
That's the networks.

They'll happily subsidise a ~£500 phone down to nothing up-front on a £30-35/month 24 months contract, so why should a tablet cost so much more?
[Galaxy Tab General] wuffa:
Depends how we look at it...

When my SGS was released, the cheapest I could find for 16gb version was £530

So placing it within the mobile market, which they have done, gives it quite an attractive price point at £500.

However, I was expecting, and still expect to see tablets placed within the laptop market at half the price of this.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
i will also pay $1000+ for the rumored galaxy tab 2, especially if it has amoled tech
[Galaxy Tab General] max2ict:
I currently own the HTC HD2 it cost me £499 but I brought the Samsung Galaxy tab because I am so disappointed with Microsoft’s market place. The tab cost me £475 to buy SIM free. It is an amazing product the screen is bright and big enough to use in all types of environments. I am still finding my way around the product having used only windows mobile phones but Android is easier to use.

The Android market place is fantastic lots of free software to try; I have downloaded several and removed them without crashing the operating system.

The price of Samsung Galaxy Tab is value for money when comparing it with the IPAD and my HTC HD 2 because I now only carry one device instead of two.
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
I think they priced it as they did so that when they release the next version they can keep the price the same but add SAMOLED, more RAM, and more internal storage...making it a relative bargain.

The price does seem a little high for the current iteration, but it will still sell well because it is a capable device that offers an open approach to media.
[Galaxy Tab General] PBL1:
peer pressure

If the iphone and other high end phones cost around £500 there is no way they can price a quality item as the tab below those so early.

sadly that is how the market works
[Galaxy Tab General] eozen81:
Hey guys, any ideas about Hong Kong prices of Galaxy Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] epakrat75:
If it's overpriced here in the US then so is the iPad. Thankfully, the Tab offers a better value proposition IMO while also being easier to afford.
[Galaxy Tab General] gareth824:
I don' think it is. I paid over £500 for my HD2 when it first came out and near £500 for my Desire, so looking at the size and extra costs involved, I think it's about right.

Can't wait for the SuperAMOLED version.
[Galaxy Tab General] raqball:
I dont think its overpriced by much. Look at the price of a phone off contract.

[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
If this wasn't sold at a carrier, there'd be a lot less *****ing about the price. Most consumers in the US and Canada think smartphones cost $200 or less.
[Galaxy Tab General] qipengart:
I think that the pricing isn't too bad!
[Galaxy Tab General] johnnewhouse:
thankfully the price is dropping quite quickly in the UK. its dropped £60 already. i think once the competitors come out in the next month it may go down by another £60 and that should put it at £400. the price it should have been from the start.

and if you paid £500 for a desire you were robbed blind.

i for one am fully aware of the costs of mobile phones, i got the galaxy S in the UK, unbranded and in the first week it was out, and after cashback from quidco it cost me £390
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
At first I thought it was over priced. Even when I was in the store playing with it I was like $600 for this?! But when I took it home I thought to myself this is totally worth it! The cheapest iPad is $500 and its can't do **** compared to this. I speak from experience; I have one. Paying $100 extra to be able to do everything my nexus does and more, its totally worth the price. Now that I can make calls from it, that is just icing on the cake. Do I wish it was cheaper? Of course I do! Who wouldn't? People look at this and see the smaller screen so they automatically think it should be cheaper. Smaller doesn't always mean cheaper. The iPad is going away soon and I will be taking that money and paying off the price of the tab. So I basically upgraded from the ipad for $100, awesome!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] epakrat75:
My boss who has an iPad was like this too but after playing with mine has come to nearly the same conclusion as you have I'd say. Primarily because it does some of the things he'd wished / hoped the iPad did / would do. So, those are open minded will see this while other simply will not. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab General] mrmilo69:
I saw the keyboard for £40 half price in CPW so managed to get me one, now looking for a Tab. Would pay no more than £400 for it and ebay seems to be hitting the sweet spot, especially as its £469 in Tesco and £444 in currys
[Galaxy Tab General] Garret:
I don't think it's overpriced either. If you consider the specs / abilities of the other tablets you'll see that it was priced just right.

Or, to say it even better, all devices in the market are overpriced, so the Tab is no different than the rest of the bunch :p

[General Questions and Answers] cabbieBot:
I know there are certain requirements such as having a 3G radio and camera that google requires for market access. At least, that's what I've read. My question is how are things like the wifi only Galaxy Tab going to access it? Is it going to be packing a 3G radio, but just not activated sort of like how the FM radio shipped in the nexus but wasnt activated out of the box?

I am exploring this question because NOOKcolor is launching this month and runs a skin on top of android2.1. I'm hoping it gets rooted with cyanogen on it because that would be awesome on a $250 tablet. But the question remains...would it be able to access the market? Can the 'hardware requirements' be bypassed by any means on a rooted device?

TIA
[General Questions and Answers] Zalatorisaurus:
Lots of devices run android and don't have a 3g radio and only wifi. They're mostly mp3 players but they can access the market as far as I've seen. It should be possible for the NOOKcolor to be able to reach the market. I don't know for sure though, I've been wrong before.
