Tab 2 or note 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 2 General

If i use the tablet to surf and email..just basic things and watch movies. Would the tab 2 10.1 be sufficient enough because i don't wanna spend $500 for the note 10.1 if the tab will be fine. And how have the official updates been for the tab2... Thx in advance

I would say for basic stuff, you should be fine with the Tab2. The big reason to get the Note 10.1 over the Galaxy Tab 2 IMO would be if you used it for note taking, or artistic work, because you would have the S-Pen. Updates for the wifi only models have been coming about one per month from what I can tell, not sure about the 3G model. There hasn't been anything recently though, but I'm guessing that Samsung is spending time getting a Jelly Bean update ready rather than continuing to work with ICS. I'd guess that we'd get an official Jelly Bean OTA shortly after the SGS3 does, given the recent "leaks" popping up on SamMobile.

The tab 2 will keep you happy.
I wish my 7 was a 10 sometimes.

Install cm10 in this tab and you will make all basic and advanced tasks

tab1:
1-tegra2 better in some games that need tegra chip but not better in videos as no neon libraries so less extesions work for videos
2-android honeycomb 3 not ics or jelly bean officially
3-front camera 2 mpixels back camera has flash
4-no sd card slot
tab2:
1-omap processor which is open architecture so more development friendly and operate more video extensions
2- ics official out of the box and leaked jelly bean (i think official in the near future)
3-front camera vga back camera has no flash
4-sd card slot up to 32 gb and some managed to operate 64 gb
5-thicker by about 1mm
6-front speakers so better audio directed to you
I recommend tab2 and install cm10 in it work good in this tab

I think tab 2 is a good option..only cons are no AMOLED display, No adobe flash player support and mediocre camera without flash.. if you don't mind these then tab 2 is an excellent choice

For me no as i install apps from google play and not from unknown sources, i think i'm safe
May be will install one to scan my tab then uninstall if find it resource heavy

If you aren't installing random apps from the Market and aren't sideloading pirated apps (shouldn't do that anyway), my opinion is that you should be safe without an AV app. From what I've seen on various android news sites, most issues come from China, and only happen to get to the US and other western countries when they get popular on the Play Store before getting pulled by Google. The other source is pirated apps.

[Q] handwritten notes app?

is there any GOOD handwritten note apps (like something I could functionally use to take note on my 10" Viewsonic G-tab?) something similar to Dan Bricklin's® Note Taker HD App for the iPad maybe?
Try "Most It".. By far the best notes app I have tried.. I don't know how would it work on a tablet but you can give it a try..

MADDEN 12 for galaxy Note

I have looked all over the internet literally every where but I failed to find a working version of the game for the note.
The closest I got was 'Adreno' SD data files which runs on the note but only parts of the game and sounds work. I searched all over and I know one solution is to root my phone then use chainfire3d to play the game but I'm stuck in a situation where I cannot root my phone (I'm in a LA1 kernel). So is there any other ways I can play the game on my glorious big screen phone?

Downgrade ROM first, then root, then chainfire.

Videostreaming!

Posting here as the Note is what I have.
Can anyone guide me around how to get video streams delivered through (xxx. Watch series) to work full screen on Android GB or ICS!?
Would love to, be on the same "page" as my US friends.
Thanks!

Sketchbook CM10.1

Just curious if anyone else has had a problem when running cm10.1 on the note 10.1, the problem occurs when I am using Sketchbook pro, there is a weird lag or stuttering when drawing, almost like the processor is trying to catch up with the program, anyone know if there is a fix or soothing u can do to improve the performance of this application with cm 10.1 , Sketchbook never had this problem when using stock rom.

[Q] Sketchbook Pro Updated to match Higher res capabilities?

Does anyone know if Sketchbook pro/mobile will be updated to allow artists to take full advantage of the increased resolution?
It would kinda suck if we're stuck with the same restrictions that were on the 1080 Note 3 now on the QHD screen :-/
Maybe not right away.. However, you can bet that there will be an update for it. As sketchbook does have an app specifically for the Note series.

ok good news:
The Sketchbook app for Galaxy will be updated for QHD:

I'd assume its the same version found in the Note 2014. I have one and it handles 2500*1600 just fine! If I had to wager a guess, well get the special "Sketchbook for Galaxy" tailored for the higher resolution!
