[Q] Thinking of getting Galaxy Tab 10.1 to replace iPad 1... - Galaxy Tab General

Hi Guys
I am trying to decide on switching from my 64GB 3G iPad 1 to a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was hoping you could give me some feedback?
Basically, I have been something of an Apple user for the last few years, but have recently gotten an SGS2 which I just love....way more than my iPhone 4S!
As the iPad 1 is now a little old, and quite a heavy beast, I am thinking of going for a 10.1 instead. I can only really afford a 16GB one (with 3G), so would plan to get a SD card adapter for playing bigger files.
Any thoughts you guys have would be great!
Cheers

This is the forum for the original 7" Galaxy Tab. Please try asking your question in the appropriate forum for the Tab 10.1" which can be found here.

[Q] Best Emulators for TF101

Hi all,
I've got a large collection of Megadrive/Genesis ROMs sitting around on a HDD and was hoping to put them to work on my TF101. Can anyone recommend a good emulator? If the best isn't free, I'm happy to pay for it.

Ooo, sorry to hijack the thread, but @id10terrordfw, how is the Galaxy Note? I mean, do you still use your transformer as much or has the galaxy note made it less necessary? I'm deciding between the Note and SII, but it's hard to find a review by someone who has both the Note and the transformer, and previous experience with the SII.

I still use both frequently, but i have to say the note is by far my favorite phone I've ever used. And I've used a LOT.

[Q] Which Android tab should I buy? galaxy tab or note?

Hi not sure if im in the right place however im in the market to buy an Android Tab, i own an ipad 3 but my wife wants a Samsung Tab and im unsure which to go for, does anyone have any suggestion?
She specificly wants a Samsung but im unsure of the difference between the Note and the Tab2 any help would be appreciated.
Note. Tab 2 is like Tab without LED Flash.
Tab 2 would be a much better option.

And why would Tab 2 be a better option? I have tried the tab 2 over a period of time and i must say that compared to the Note 10.1 it sucks, big time!
I have a N8000 and its easily the best tablet i ever touched. I have owned several tabs (Transformer,Folio, Vega, GT-P7500 and some more) and some are good but nothing compares to the Note 10.1.

You must be trolling! Anybody would prefer a quad core processor, two gigabytes of ram, and a five megapixel camera over basically the same specs of the tab 10.1 that the tab 2 10.1 has.

Sprint Note II for $149 on new accounts at Amazon Wireless.
If you sign up for new account. Pretty awesome deal. Back-ordered 2 weeks.

Its quite an amazing deal alright. Even if you bought it, swapped a line in and cancelled the account it would be cheaper than buying it on Swappa.com. this guy said it here first, though, i believe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036150
If the "cheap feel" of the GN10.1 bothered you you are going to REALLY hate the GN2. It is a quality piece of tech but feels very light and plasticky. Honestly you will probably put a case on it anyway so who cares, but its not going to win any "look and feel" awards.
You gotta love Samsung - "Looks like hell, works like heaven".

I'm waiting for the 1 inch Note IV that I can wear like a watch
I don't see the need for a Note 6.5 inch. Too small too take serious notes but too big to carry like a phone. Kind of a nothing burger.
No possible way for 6.5 inch note, unless it replaces or is offset of their 7" tabs.
That somethin we said when the note 1 came out but still people buy it right
Well theres a market for a Note phone, tablet, probably 7" too, but i dunno about holding 6.3" phone to my head, nor 10.1 phone. Tablet sure, but....i understand they think if they can take the bezel away, but not as a phone. We are approaching the limit.
My wife has a NoteII, and it's a great phone. If I could find a practical way to carry it (too big for a belt case) , I would get one in a heartbeat. To me the "look and feel" of NoteII is the same as Note10.1.
Just played with the Note II at the Sprint store. It is big enough to take notes on if you write small.

This is kinda about the note 2. To mods. I am not trying to sell or link to anything here on XDA. I just want some opinions.
So I want to trade my Note 10.1 for a New note 2. Does that seem okay? I know sometimes if people have an available upgrade through their carrier that you could probably get the phone for two or three hundred. So it would be a good deal I think. I think the hardest part will be finding someone that doesn't mind using up their upgrade. Anyway thoughts and commets welcome.
My phone has bit the dust and I dont really have money to use for a phone so thats the only reason for the question

Should this be in another forum? LOL, but anyway, got my note 2, love every moment of it, and now my note 10.1 feels relatively choppy. Hopefully jelly bean (whenever it gets to me officially) will solve it.
Getting a Note II today...Fed Ex can't get here soon enough. I'm also in the market for a tablet and narrowed it down to the Note 10.1 or the Nexus 10. For those of you that have both Notes does it make sense or is it redundant?
Maybe I'm backwards
But I got the galaxy note 10.1 AFTER my galaxy note 2. The galaxy note 2 is AMAZING! It's such a big upgrade to the original note. To be honest I don't really need the tablet but I felt having a bigger screen would be more productive. Im lucky my boyfriend decided to buy this as a Christmas present. The phone is definitely snappier. It just works how it should. Remember everything is optimised probably mostly for the phone . I feel the tablet could be a lot tighter but then again the note 2 does have jellybean. The screen is a lot nicer than the tablet but again higher ppi. If you replace the tablet you might miss the bigger screen to be honest. You can work with it, but it's still small for drawing. Probably note taking will be alright. I'll admit my phone is pretty much deals with everything I need. Definitely the smartest phone I've had.

My boyfriend was actually trying to put me off getting the tablet because he said it's just a bigger version of my phone. However, I've been using it a lot lately because I'm too lazy to use my laptop. I'm going to prove to him I'm going to use the galaxy note 10.1. I have wasn't sceptical about tablets as well but the bigger screen estate really does help. Particularly with split screen, and if I want to read magazines or manga. But it's up to you. I especially got the note because it's so cheap right now :3

Well, the fact there are 2 pages of comments in 2 days should tell you that GN10.1 owners are interested in discussing the GN2 as it relates to the GN10.1. Since they are sister devices this thread makes perfect sense. The mods get that.
With all the garbage repetitive threads in this forum, this one actually makes sense.
---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------
Question for those with the Note II and the GN10.1. Do you find the Note II real estate sufficient to take notes on the fly as you can with the GN10.1 or do you have to write so small that it becomes difficult?
It's been hard from me to try this out at the store as all of the Note II's have magnetic anti-theft devices attached which play hell with the pen input.
I suppose I could try writing really small on my GN10.1 to simulate the experience. Also I could write more often in landscape mode which would provide the same basic width as portrait mode with the 10.1.

So what do you guys think is a fair price for the note 10.1? Am trying to get a note 2. Just need some opinions. Thanks. I would rather just trade outright but if I cant i need to know a good price to ask?
Looks like the ones up for auction in eBay are bidding at around $380 for used units.

Worth It?

I know this may be a biased crowd but I was wondering if this tablet is worth $319? I am in the market for a 10'' tablet and I've narrowed it down to a few options that include the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10''. Also is a good tablet? I've read some of the post in this forum and I'm hoping if I do chose to get this tablet that it'll get some custom roms because I am not a fan of touch wiz. So overall what do you guys think of the tablet?

I bought the 8" model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 and am very happy with it. I have also looked at and priced the 10" tablets and $319 is a very good price for the 10" tablets. I got the 8" tablet because it is a more portable tablet for me and it fits in my purse a lot easier than the bigger tablet.
I hope that this helps you out.

I just bought the 10.1 and I really like it. Size is a matter of pure personal choice though. I already have the Samsung Note 2, so I have a large "phablet" for browsing and needed my Tab to be large enough to do real business (excel, coding etc).
fyi... I also have the Logitech ultrathin folio for the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (case and BT keyboard) and it rocks!

What to do with old Galaxy Tab 4

Hey there. My elderly father spilled wine all over his fire tablet and asked me to dig up his old Galaxy Tab 4 as a replacement. I haven't rooted or ROM'd in quite a while (My Pixel 2XL doesn't really need a better OS so I leave it alone) but this old Tab 4 is a dinosaur and could probably use an upgrade. The Samsung UI, for one, is atrocious.
Any ideas on what I should do to bring it up to speed? It's a GT-P5210 on KitKat 4.4.2.
Would an upgrade to Nougat/Oreo/Pie help performance or is the hardware too old? Any suggestions on a particular ROM?
I appreciate your help!
i have an old samsung tab 4 and am in the same situation here. I`m not a really expert in this area, but I really appreciate it if anyone could get a solution about what to do with this device.
