Samsung announces Galaxy Tab 10.1 updates - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

http://www.samsung.com/us/article/galaxy-tab-10-1-updates
Samsung talks about the upcoming update "coming soon". Includes TouchWiz, quick toggles (like in other TouchWiz UIs), live panels, app trays, Samsung Hubs, Swype, etc.

Awesome, I wish they would give us an actual release date though.

Awesome. I'm actually looking forward to what the new Touch wiz offers.

I looking forward to anything in any shape or form of an update that will make my tab recognise music or have google music not FC. Be nice to have almost any app on this tab-el-pile-o-crap not fc or lag so hard i end up enjoying my evo more. Seriously find my self busting my evo out of my pocket to do something my tab cant. Pictures Fc. Music Fc. Browser Fc. Market Fc. Galary Fc. You know what Fc's on my evo? Not a damn thing. Even whe it first came out it played my mp3s and hardly force closed. My flash experience on my evo is even better. Ok sorry im ranting lol

Or just now when i try to click the link using my tab it wont even bring up the webpage. Says to many redirects and closes out..hahaha what a POS

Thanks for the link. I signed up for an account.

Maybe you should return it and wait for something else?
Just sounds like you have a bad unit. Maybe a factory reset will help.

i have none of the above problems, everything you just said works without problem on my tab so i would venture that you have a bad unit, return it and get a new one

Take it back if you can. I only kept mine for 3-4 days before I decided I wouldnt be able to look past the issues you're having.

amen brother

I'm still trying to figure out how to get around Fry's restocking fee. They want to charge me $90 to return the tablet. Apparently crashes and reboots not good enough to be defective.

looking forward for that

the only way is to return to a store that has none in stock. ask for an exchange and if they don't have any in stock then you should not be charge a restock fee. I've got lucky before returning a notebook.

no, for repair. shops do the same but some of them will give you a new one, so you don't need to wait 1-2 weeks.

Actually, in Italy the GTab 10.1 will be released on the next week (7th july) with Android 3.1 and Touchwiz included. I suppose the american version will be updated soon.

MLB.tv: No Streaming for Epic 4G

Well - thank you Samsung.
MLB.tv updated the AtBat2011 app today to include live streaming on Android devices. Woohoo, right?
Well, not so much. Because Samsung has delayed the official FroYo release for the Epic, the Evo is the only Sprint Device that is supported for live video streaming. Of course, I'm sure my ACS FrozenROM could handle the requirements, but because the Epic isn't officially supported the video option doesn't even show up.
I doubt there are any tricks to spoof device ID, but if anybody has any ideas, that would be great.
Otherwise, I just have one more reason not to buy another Samsung device again. Or, more properly, one more reason to be upset about the FroYo release (or lack thereof).
Here's the link to the app: https://market.android.com/details?...android.gameday.atbat2011.full&feature=banner
I feel your pain on this one. I got the update this morning and was psyched about it. But I was quickly let down when I notice my Epic wouldn't work!!
Thanks for this update. I almost bought it yesterday, then I saw that MLB partnered up with Apple for a free month trial for iPhone users. Hoping for the same Android deal, I see that it's wrought with problems still and not ready for primetime.
The Nexus S is supported, so is there a way to spoof the Epic as a Nexus S? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that one of the ROMs was using a modified market using a Nexus S identifier. Could the same approach be used here?
LIVE GAMES!? GET THIS TO WORK, NOW!!!! I always loved getting the radio feeds but if I can get the actual games, I'd freak the hell out...
speaking of that...when i goto mlb.com on a winmo device..gameday doesnt drop down anymore???? i havent found a way for gameday to come up on the epic, if there is one. but i also would love to listen to the games, anyway to do this on the epic??
Yea, the MLB app. It's $14 but well worth it if you use it as much as I do. I'm dying for live stream of games.

Not without some kind of tweak it appears, I've got the MLB11 App and I'm on Bonsai and don't see any live video options so it seems to still be reading it as an Epic.

If you can afford it, get Slingbox. They run from $150 to $250... The Solo (the lesser priced one- beware) has some issue with capacitors.. Anything that you can get on your TV can easily be forwarded to your device. I have an Epic, as well. Slingbox forwards me my MLB account (from Roku)... I also get Netflix, Hulu Plus, and lots of other stuff.. music YouTube, International News, etc. If I have a net connection, I can watch and listen to anything on my TV or Roku
To afford all this, I cut my Uverse account back to basic at $19 a month plus box rental. I was spending $90 a month prior to hooking up Roku and Slingbox. One time investment only for Slingbox and Roku. You will have to fork out the $29 for the Slingbox Mobile for Android app to accomplish this. It includes clever remote control codes to manipulate your TV and other hardware at home.
MLB looks fabulous on Roku this year. Last year, it was problematic. This year, great.
You'll be watching the World Series and all the playoff games without forking out any more money. It's a great way to go. Im saving a lot of money. I use it off and on when work is slow.. watch a couple innings, etc.. When we travel, I use it.. .I also use the Sling software on my laptop.
So if live radio working? I want this app.

So I went ahead and installed CM7 Alpha 1 to see if that works, but no such luck. When I go to my account on the market (web version) it shows the phone as a Samsung SPH-D700 under Model. When I'm on another ROM it shows up as just SPH-D700 and the manufacturer is the same in both cases (Samsung)
Could someone please drop MLB Android support a email and ask them why our phone isn't supported?

Great!!! Keep us updated.

Be Cautious of the market!!

Last night when I was buying an adw theme for my tablet, I noticed that instead of the 99 cents I want supposed to be charged, I was charged 99 dollars. I checked and apparently there were not one, but two 99 dollar charges made to my account. I'm currently in a dispute right now with google over this. So my advice is to ensure you check the charges made before the fifteen minutes is up to avoid the hassle I'm currently going through
Are you sure you haven't bought 100 ones
Oh I'm positive.... I'm looking at the confirmation email right now where it shows me being charged $99.00.
I'm not sure why I got double billed though.
Just wanted to make everyone aware of this, as I purchase stuff frequently and nothing like this has happened before.

Just go back to the market and take a screen shot of the page to keep on file and send a copy to google with your complaint and check the decimal point ie $099. or $0.99
just could be a mistake.

[Q] Having Difficulties with android BROWSER

Hi, I just got my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 one week ago. Having fun with this awesome tablet. Very fast and interesting tablet. FANTASTIC!!! However, I have some difficulties using the default browser. When I was surfing Xda forum or whatever forum which contain a long page and have a lot of stuff, my browser started to get lagging. When i was trying to scroll down, the browser was lagging for while then started to load the page again. The browser was slow and is incomparable to ipad2. I was not trying to praise ipad2 or what, i just simply get upset with the performance of the browser =(((( ..you guys have any idea about this problem? Any suggestions for me to improve the browser performance??
CHeers.
Try to scroll down to bottom and change to Xda Classic in the drop down.

Yeah, that's true, but the same happened to me with the Asus TF.
I was reading on Xoom's forum that Honeycomb 3.1 update have better browsing speed and scrolling, also the OS UI overall. It's matter of time if someone reports better results with XDA 2010 mode under 3.1

Having problem using dolphin as well..so many problem when i surfing webpage that contain of long page or full of flash...Will samsung or android sort this out soon? Or just i am the one who having the problem?
I am also having a strange issue. Ever since I browsed XDA I will now see page artifacts left over show up randomly from the forum on other sites. For instance, on a google search result when I scroll I will see a large square chunk of the XDA page for a second. I have tried clearing browser cache, history etc... any thoughts? I hope this makes sense

This is a known issue. Once we have root we can replace the browser with the browser from the Xoom.
I wanted to love this tablet but seriously the bugs make this thing crappy. The browser issues are bad. Dolphin works but tweaks out from time to time. Add in the wifi and disappearing status bar issues. Makes me wish I had sold this puppy. So unhappy with this thing. Really disappointing. Glad it was free.

I haven't been having much problems with my tablet other than the time change issue which was fixed using someone's apk to unlock the automatic time. I too have a few issues with the browser occasionally, especially scrolling in XDA but you just have to be patient. Sometimes scrolling will stop working but I just close all my tabs and re-open and it's fixed.
I'm extremely surprised at the fact that some people are upset at the fact that we got a tablet that is not even publicly released yet for another month and it has bugs. YES, the unreleased tablet has bugs. It was mainly given out at a "developers conference" to DEVELOPERS to develop for. I am absolutely happy that they gave us these devices so that now the people whom want to develop applications on a tablet device are now able to test and debug on an actual device other than the emulator which they admit is not-so-good.
It's almost upsetting that people are so easily selling these on ebay just to make a quick buck and chance the fact that google may stop (but probably won't) giving out these sorts of devices to developers in the future developer conferences.
I wouldn't have a problem if it was just a few bugs. Or even bugs that didn't stop daily use. However I have probably an entire page of bugs and issues with this thing and I haven't done anything fun to it yet. I can only go maybe a day or so without restarting it.
Maybe I sound ungrateful and I shouldn't be. But my frustration at this thing is unpalatable. I hope that Samsung fixes these issues and soon. Because to me this thing is almost unusable and I am certainly not going to develop on it until something more stable is available.
I also don't understand the decision to announce 3.1 and then a few minutes later give everyone a device with 3.0 and tell us a competing device will get 3.1. WTF?! In what meeting did that sound like a good idea?
I'm sorry to hear that you're having so many problems :-/

AT&T Note 8 Question

I currently have the wi-fi Note 8.0 and love it. I would like to get the AT&T model but is it rooted yet and does the multi-window option work? Finally is the AT&T note stuff here or is there another area to look for? Hopefully these questions don't sound to dumb.

Rooted Yet - No
MultiWindow - Yes
This is it for AT&T Note 8 LTE SGH-I467
I'm sure that it will be rooted soon. (I Hope). I got one a week ago and love it. I only want root so I can install Titanium Backup. Custom Roms are nice, but I just want to be able to debloat and have a good backup
since this is a question, you should have posted it in Q&A....

I agree, I should have caught that.
The AT&T model is not rooted yet. The multiwindow feature works great. There is no specific forum for the AT&T model so we discuss it here. I highly recommend picking it up if you can. I'm absolutely in love with mine. It'll be even more awesome once they get it upgraded to Android 4.2.
I too purchased the AT&T Note 8. On the morning it became available actually. I too love the Note 8 and highly recommend it. Especially so with the bundle deal that brings the price down to $199.
That said I have found a few issues that are in need of fixing. Firstly, of course, is the ability to root so one can use Titanium Backup to debloat. But also many have found that the screen freezes momentarily randomly. If you want to use it to play games you will be disappointed. Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.
these are all reasons that I bought the wifi version; we already have root, there are custom roms/kernels, custom recovery, and since there is wifi almost everywhere, and where there isn't, I can tether to my Note2, I didnt see any reason to give ATT another dime of my $$$$
hope you guys get root/custom recovery soon, because a tweaked, debloated,OC'd Note 8.0 is nothing but fun!

I hear you. However, some of us who were buying new phones anyway the AT&T bundle deal pricing of $199 for the Note 8 as opposed to the $499 retail made sense. Yes, I would liked to have root already but I will live with the wait in light of the initial cost savings. Now when can I get a Note 3???? :laugh:
not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.

I also find that Chrome has problems. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue or a ROM issue but Chrome seems to not get click placement right when tapping on the screen, especially when using the pen. You have to tap below a link to get it to actually fire. Very annoying. Even with the brand new Chrome 28 release a day ago, it still does this. I'm using the stock browser until this gets resolved.

The chrome issue popped up with latest chrome update for me. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

Rumor has it the Note 3 will be available at AT&T on Sept. 4th.

Is almost certainly a Chrome issue. Chrome 26 works fine. The problem was introduced in Chrome 27. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. In the meantime I'm just using the stock browser. I didn't see it as a big enough issue to do something drastic like taking it back.

Last night's update of Chrome Beta (their second patch for this issue) fixed the problem for me. It will likely be a number of weeks before the patch makes it to the stable Chrome release.

Yeah I just saw that. Thank God they fixed it! I want to use Chrome rather than the stock browser. I hate that sites I open on the Note 8.0 don't get synced to my other devices. haha

Okay, I thought I was either drunk or crazy. I swore Chrome was registering wrong clicks and it would eventually just stop with the input all together. What a terrible bug - I too was forced to use the stock browser. Glad it's fixed in the latest release. Let's hope that makes it into the Play store sooner rather than later.
