hello. i heard that the galaxy tab have a newton ring problem and a main "causer" of this is heat.
this is a series problem for me because i live in kuwait and it is 40+C and getting 40*C is lucky
and people say the screen crack very easy on low drops
i am thinking of asus transformer pad
what should i get
if your answer is the galaxy tab 10.1 because it is thin then save it for yourself
Hello, so far the samsung galaxy is one of the best tablets on the market. But the newton ring is a real pita. I suggest you to wait and see what will happen in the next weeks. I think they'll try to address this issue as soon as they can.

Ok what is Newton Ring in layman's term? Read it in wiki and all I understood is there's some light interference between two surfaces, etc

I'm in Texas.... Now it's about 105 every day and i'm using my tab by the pool everyday for like 1 hour. i have the tab since like 4 weeks or something like that and it works perfectly. no issues because of the heat.
dude,
don't hurry to get the tab. apart from the newton's rings prob, right now they are in deep **** especially ''after the australia's ruling'', and in the following days/weeks, the tab might even get banned in other countries. i guess Sammy might even stop production , and get another model out fast.(they have done it with p7100 so this wont come as a surprise).

thanks guys for all the comments.
but even if there wasn't a newton ring problem ... i am still having second thoughts whether i should buy the transformer or the galaxy tab
i dont think i care about the thin stuff
The main reason I bought the galaxy tab was because of how thin and light it is. Also I wouldn't be using hdmi out so the lack of a built in adapter didn't matter to me. If you do plan on using hdmi out, keep in mind that in order to use it on the galaxy tab, you would have to to buy an extra adapter and with the transformer, you would not. Same goes for OTG USB devices; you would need an adapter for the galaxy tab. But it really is amazing how much lighter and thinner this tablet is compared to any other tablet... I've owned the xoom and it was like carrying around a brick; the transformer is only 50 grams lighter than the xoom whereas the galaxy tab is over 100 grams lighter than the transformer. I've had great experiences with both Asus and Samsung hardware but in the end, I chose Samsung due to the much smaller form factor. If you do decide to buy the galaxy tab, you will be buying from a newer batch of them which seem to not suffer from the Newtonian rings problem.

If you're considering the Transormer and intend to root the device, you should take this into consideration.

The never-ending battle.
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 - 10:21 am - Android, General, Transformer
Been a while since last post, but it appears ASUS’s counter move have finally come.
All signs point to that with the B70 revision of the Transformer, they have changed the Secure Boot Key.
At the same time they appear to have disabled downgrades in the more recent revisions of the firmware (the one B70 comes with!)
This means: At this point it’s not possible to root B70 revision ASUS Transformers. We will of course see what we can do to find a way around it, but keep in mind neither of us have access to a B70 revision model nor do we intend to spend the money needed to get one.
It was a good run, and congrats to all those with pre-B70 revision devices and bummer for everyone who bought newer revision devices hoping to root
Thanks,

I'm waiting on my GT10.1 right now while I am at work and it is out for delivery.
I was in the same boat trying to decide between this and the TF. Ultimately I decided on the GT because of how it felt in my hand. Its not about thin, but it is related. When I held the TF, it felt great in landscape. Lots of bezel for my thumbs to grip but not obscure the screen and the back felt amazing. But the instant I turned the TF to portrait, it just felt bulky and awkward. Nowhere to put my thumbs and the curved back isn't as graceful in that orientation. Just felt fat to me. I sorta like the idea of an sdcard and hdmi, but with enough memory I probably won't use it. My phone has 16G built in and another 16G card, but I never put anything on the card.
Once I had basically decided, i did some digging and I'm actually really excited about the TouchWiz update. Personally I think it will make it more attractive (I don't like the Tron look of stock) and adds features. Basically once you stop going back and forth there will be a lot to love about whichever tablet you choose.
These are the two I am deciding on and hope to buy one a little later today. I have a samsung phone. Great device. People complain about the slowness of samsung updates. Turns out it doesn't really matter if you root and rom, so I quit worrying about that. My concern is that lack of micro-sdcard slot. On the one hand, I think 16gb is enough and perhaps this is the future, what with streaming and all. On the other hand, it would be nice to have those ports (with a usb adapter to carry around.
Then, just to confuse me further, my brother's Acer 500 is pretty nice too and has usb and micro-sdcard.
So, are people missing the sdcard slot and usb? the thin and light Samsung is in the lead atm

at first I thought I would miss the microSD slot but you could buy their 30 pin to USB for 19.99 at BB or go for the 30 pin/USB & 30pin/SD connector from expansys.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...-10-1-30-pin-to-usb-30-pin-to-sd-slot-219891/
I bought the 19.99 usb connector & http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HGFKR8 from Amazon for less than $9.99.
My USB connector does help not having on-board microSD slot
Plus with the Seagate WIFI GoFlex Satellites that are coming out. You can wifi stream.

How sure are we on this?? any idea of batch numbers or something which seem to have these issues fixed?
Bought mid June at Best Buy , and have the newtonrings
Hi, I life in Begium and was lucky to buy a SGT 10.1 in pre-order at Best Buy during our vacation in the US , mid June.
Unfortunely I've noticed last week also the "newton rings" , kind of "oil" in the middle under the touchscreen
I have take contact with Samsung Belgium by phone ... they never heard about that (maybe because the tab 10.1 is still NOT official released in our country)
I have send a email, but still waiting for an answer.
It happens only when the tablet is getting "hot" ... sometimes when sitting outdoor into the sun, about 25 degrees Celsius ... so that's not so hot
Made contact again with Samsung Belgium, finally they accepted the touchscreen problem.
They gave me a adress in Holland, a repair center.
Device send to Holland, posting on my own costs.
So they exchange the screen and sended my device back home

Yes. I have a B6 model (in the serial number) and a friend has a B8 model.
The B6 does not have the SAMSUNG name on the bottom of the glass near the charge port. The B8 (newer model) does.
Apparently, the newer batches have the SAMSUNG name on them. That being said, I don't have any Newton's rings on my B6 32GB model.

It's pretty basic but it won't cost you another fortune.

Imagine now somebody answers your post "Hey, I want to buy your phone. I will give. Xxx$. Do you agree?"
- you see now why you can't make such threads? Because it may be a hidden offer...
A smart idea, but I hope Mods can smell it....
Different countries get different prices. Why don't you check your local market?
You can sell it for 1700 zł in Poland if you really want to get such answers in international forums...

Please check your local/online second hand market for an estimate of prices.

Is there an official dock for the Galaxy S4? I bought one from ebay that was quoted as being official Samsung for Galaxy S4, but I received it today and the box says Galaxy S3. Yes the S4 fits in it and charges, but the fit does not seem 100% snug.. you have to sort of put the S4 in at slight angle instead of being able to just drop it into the dock, and although secure, it doesn't look like a particularly snug fit when sat in the dock.
Was I mislead or is this as good as it gets for an official S4 dock?
Here is the one I received:
http://i.snag.gy/8oePo.jpg
Thank you all in advance!
A good sticky for the S4 Accessories sub forum would be a list of all official accessories..no? Lets start one!!
To answer my own question, I contacted Samsung and they have advised me as follows:
I have provided you with a link below to a multi-purpose dock in which you could use for you Samsung Galaxy S4.
Samsung S4 Dock
There is not an official dock for this model of device.
I hope this information was helpful, if you have any questions please contact me or call the number below.

My response to them was as follows:
WOW. I cannot believe Samsung did not make a dock for the Galaxy S4. I mean...... really? It sold over 40 million units so you might have missed a trick there? 40 million missed users who might have bought your dock?
I have bought the dock that you recommend already, but I returned it for a refund the same day because in my opinion it is NOT compatible with the Galaxy S4 because of a few reasons: firstly, the S4 does not fit snugly into the dock - you cannot slide the phone in along the incline of the back of the dock, you need to tilt it forward which is annoying. There is no click or "feel" to let you know once the phone is fully inserted which leaves you guessing if you have pushed it in properly or not. And lastly, the dock is too light which means you cannot remove the Galaxy S4 from the dock singled handed - instead you have to use one hand to hold the dock down on the surface and the other hand the remove the dock. Overall it is not a pleasing experience.

Seems legit, I mean look at the guys feedback score: 4.2mil lol. Its also coming from California so I doubt it would be a fake as they usually come from china or places like that. If you find its fake just ask for a return via ebay and get free return shipping. Easy.
