10.1 vs note 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Just wondering if it was worth upgrading my samsung galaxay 10.1 to the note 10.1 special after i can finally make voice calls from it. As am just waiting on a phone call to say when the 3g version is coming in stock

Quad core processor
2GB of RAM
Getting Jelly Bean
If you have the money, I wouldn't see a reason not to upgrade.
Just hope Samsung doesn't give up support for it or take forever to provide further upgrades as has happened with the Tab.

Ding Ding Ding. Exactly. They did it with the OG GT then the GT 10.1. They've given no reason to make us think support will be any better on the Note 10.1.

I do not like the way Note 10.1 looks to be honest. I had my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with me when I stopped by BestBuy and compare them side by side, tell you the truth, my a year old Galaxy Tab 10.1 still better looking then newest Tab Note 10.1!!
but as far as hardware specs goes, of course Note 10.1..if only I can afford it now (money gone to my newest toy Nexus 7!)

Just a question: how are you going to upgrade your tablet? Is it a kind of an offer?
For me, I am an owner of both Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Note 10.1. For design, the Tab 10.1 is thinner, lighter, and has more solid feeling.
But I think it is worth to get the Note 10.1 because it is far much better in terms of:
- Performance: Note 10.1 is amazingly faster, has much better response to touch, especially that the note has Quad Core processor with 2 GB of RAM vs Dual Core processor and 1 GB of RAM on the Tab 10.1.
- WACOM technology: You are now using a tablet and a notebook, and you will no more need a paper an a pen. Whereas the Tab 10.1 only uses the standard stylus with response issues.
- Brighter display on the Note 10.1.
- You can have phone calls and send SMS and MMS using the Note 10.1, but not the Tab 10.1.
- Multi-Screen multi-tasking is amazing.
In short, yes it worth the upgrade if you are looking for better performance and a replacement for papers and pens, and especially worth it if you are having this device for learning and education. Galaxy Tab 10.1 has performance issues, and it has lags and not very fluid like in other tablets.

hows the software on the note? looks good on the adverts....

It is perfectly designed. I love the "S Note" app very much. It is definitely of high performance. No lags what so ever.
BTW, there are some software additions to Note 10.1 in ICS that are not present in the ICS of Tab 10.1. For example, the "Remote Controls" of finding out a lost Note 10.1 is not available for Tab 10.1 - the so called SamsungDive. Also, lock screen options like putting "Stock" information or "News", or weather on the lock screen is not present in the Tab 10.1.
And that's plus more of them

Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE, which I have, is unable of doing phone calls or sending simple SMS or MMS, in spite of the fact that I got ICS 4.0.4 on it!!
In short, seems like Samsung is not supporting their old Galaxy Tab 10.1 like it should be.
But you can do this with the 3G Note 10.1

I don't care for honeycomb!! I don't care about the past.

Simple though, according to Samsung Dive, my SCH-i905 model of Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not supported, kinda weird!!

Hey man! I did not know this was a signature, I couldn't guess it is kind of kidding, so I am sorry
BTW, the Note 10.1 is a very amazing product.
For whom asked about the Note 10.1 applications, I have extracted system.img file, and I will start by posting some familiar apps, but I am NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHETHER THEY ARE NOT WORKING OR IF THE CAUSED HARM TO YOUR TAB
Since the apps are large, I will post them gradually by posting external links.

Samsung quality and displays are unmatched..in all of their product line.
The S-pen is so freaky cool.and the notes multi tasking windows is a huge productive plus.
If you want a notebook or net book substitute the note may do it for you.
Some one posted it matters on what you want to do with it and what your budget commands.
That is the answer.

Right it doesn't look like they will be getting the 3g version in so I need to make a choice do I keep the my galaxy 10.1 3g and keep the benefits it bring being able to put my sim in it or do I lose that benefit but get a better tablet the Note but wifi version only

That should be up to you and your needs. If you really need 3G, but want a more powerful tablet, you might have to invest in a different one.

oh my goodness, this guy is right. my friend also has the note and it seems a bit bulkier. The tab 10.1 still has that cutting edge look and is much more slim than its brother note. samsung is clever - they release new things and force people to think about upgrading, but it's just my opinion.

You know what its one of those things I don't use the 3g much but bet you when I haven't got it I will miss it or suddenly need it

Well had it for a few days now and its a great tab feels a bit heavy but its still a great tab the only downfall is without the 3g you suddenly realize how much you do use is and miss it so because of that am going to have to send it back and keep my galaxy 10.1 till I can get the 3g note. If anyone is coming from a wifi tab to this will be very pleased but if anyone is coming from a 3g tab then wait and try and get the 3g version

Thinking of picking up a 10.1 today.

I was looking to get a Transformer Prime before X mas but the constant selays and Asus not being truthful about release dates has turned me off. I would like a tab b4 the holiday and I know the Samsung 10.1 is the next best thing in the dual core world, can ypu guys let me know how the development here is and also pros and cons of the tab to make me confirm on buying a Galaxy tab, thanks.

Just raeding through these forums tells you all you need to know about the 10.1 all you need is one great rom and one great kernal. We got both of them ;-) Just buy one now and you won't regret it
Nice signature pic by the way .
Haha thanks. Yea Ive been in the community for a while. MT3G, Nexus One, Galaxy S 2, im loving Samsungs products, I got a entertainment system and television so a tab wouod be good also, plus I know Pershoot does kernels here and hes the greatest so I think i'll be making a good decision.

Development in the tablet thread is considerably less active than that of the samsung galaxy S2 you have, but thats just representative of the number of owners of phones against tablets.
Although few in number the devs here still push out some great work, you will find ROMs based on the recent android releases and a couple of custom kernels that are both fast and stable.
And as the prices of tablets drop the forums are only going to become more active.
I hear that, I know the Tegra 3 on tge Asus tab is really good but im still wondering why the price on it is so low compared to the Samsung and Apple pads. Etc, asus prime 32gb tabs are the same price as the Galaxy 16 gb tabs. Is it the screen? Quality? I know Asus is not a big brand like Samsung and Apple but im lost.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If you CAN wait, do it.
The new Tegra will be much much faster, and even consume less power. the Galaxy Tab is a good tablet, at least with custom rom/kernel on it. If you want one now, buy it. You won't regret it, especially not after we got CyanogenMod 9.
What is a bit a downer is the proprietary connector on the Galaxy Tab. That sucks, to be honest

No, the "sdcard" is mounted directly on the board. It also isn't an sdcard at all So, there is no way to change the storage capacity.

If you can, buy it at Costco. They have them for about $75 off right now in-store. They also turn their stock really quickly so the one you'll get will be a more recent build which has a new screen design. Costco also has a 90 day return policy so if you're disappointed you're not married to it.
I had a Wi-Fi tab originally and just got a 3G Tab from the UK knowing that the Prime's release was imminent. It's got some lag at times but if you read the first impressions posts in the Prime forum it appears it does too which means s/w still plays a role. I think the biggest advantage with Teg3 will be in gaming and local video playback performance. I don't do much of either so Samung's build quality and better audio and video codecs are what made me re-buy one.
Asus has a pretty poor track record h/w wise and there were a lot of issues with the TF1. The Wi-Fi issue with the Prime that's still not been fully explained should give people pause. Both Acer and Lenovo are coming out with Teg3 tablets in Q1. Production starts on the Lenovo in January. If you like the Tab, keep it. If not, at the end of 90 days you'll have some additional choices. Of all the future tablets announced, Samsung's 11.6" Tab with an end-to-end high resoultion screen and second-gen Exynos processor is the one I'm most excited about. That could make me switch but I'm really happy with my current Tab for the time being.
The 10.1 is a nice tab, but it's starting to get a little long in the tooth. If I didn't get mine as cheaply as I did ($320 on Woot) then I probably would have waited for the next crop of Teg3 and Exynos devices. If you absolutely have to have a tablet right now, the Tab 10.1 is a fantastic choice, but definitely shop around.
Yea. I went to Best Buy a little while ago and played with the 10.1 and found it very laggy... even though I know people been using it all day and custom roms and kernels would fix it I still realized that I think it will be better to wait a few weeks for the Prime for the same amount of $$ of a 16 gb Galaxy tab I could get a 32gb Prime thats ICS ready.

Yeah, although I want a 10.1 tab, the fact that it's equally priced as a new quad-core tablet with more space and ports is preventing me from doing so. I can only hope they drop the price in light of the release of the new quad core beast...

Need advice... should I buy?

Hi, I'm looking from advice from existing Galaxy Tab 10.1 users.
I am a self employed web designer and am looking for a tablet that I can use as a mobile portfolio and for demos of sites under development, etc.
My main requirements are... light, thin + decent 10" screen and ideally something that doesn't feel too cheap so when I hand it to clients it feels OK.
I can get a (reconditioned) Galaxy Tab 10.1 on eBay UK for £190 so it strikes me as a good deal.
Would a Galaxy Tab 10.1 suit my purpose? Is the ICS build OK? Are there any gotchas? As I said it will really be used fairly infrequently. I have an Android phone (Moto RAZR) that I can tether to the tablet for 3G data.
Any advice or thoughts are very welcome!
aesthetically speaking, the G-tab 10.1 is a very nice device. the new ICS update has been working very nice also.
however, the "gotcha" is that it's last year's hardware (dual core Tegra2). Getting one now really puts you behind the curve compared to tablets with current hardware. Personally, I wouldn't get anything less than a quad-core cpu.
The Asus transformer TF300t is the best deal on a 10" tablet right now (quad-core Tegra3, and it just got the Jelly Bean update), but it's not quite as nice feeling as the original G-tab 10.1, and it's still probably a bit more expensive than 190 english pounds

Nothing he is wanting to use the tablet for would need anywhere near 4 cores. Nothing we have available to us right now fully utilizes 4 cores. ICS is the first firmware to even fully utilize 2 cores. By the time we need quad core tablets, the current quad core tablets will be old and outdated anyways. I say, for what you need it for, the gtab will be just fine.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Pulled the trigger on one this morning. :good: As Towie said, the Tab will mainly be used for web browsing a single site at a time during meetings and a bit of Evernote / gmail / etc.
If it proves useful I'll probably upgrade to a quad-core (or whatever the state of the art is) next year.
Add a nice oem Samsung leather pouch and the ics update and you're set. Looks professional and the browser is much better (displays non-mobile optimized sites very well.) Good luck with your business.

The Samsung case, while a bit pricey, is really nice. After buying two Tabs for my wife and me, the first accessories I bought were the Sammy cases.

I actually picked one up for $11 US at an electronics chain store that was dropping all Tab accessories. HHGregg is the chain. I was shocked at the quality when I opened the package. Much better than the OEM case that allows it to stand and has the magnetic flap. That thing can't even tolerate a finger nail swiping it and it was $50.
in short? NO.
get SGT 2 10.1.
SGT 10.1 will not allow you to make gsm calls, while pretty much any other Samsung tablet with 3G will let you.

The Galaxy tab 10.1 3g can make calls. I made a few today. Well, the hack was only made available so that's why most users wouldn't know about it.
Btw, I upgraded (downgraded) Sgt 2 10.1 a month ago. It was horrendous. Screen was nowhere near as good and I couldn't get a HDMI adapter for it and battery was crap. Ended up keeping the original and selling the tab 2.

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.

Neither one of them.
About the iPad, I don't even want to talk about it or any other iBullshett from Crapple. If you are one of the Apple fanboys, by all means please buy it and get out of here.
And now the Galaxy Tab. I have one and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to buy it. Talk about specs, Galaxy Tab isn't the best tablet out there, in fact it only has a dual-core 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM and very poor screen resolution which lead to poor performances and speed.
But all that still doesn't annoy me as much as Samsung's lack of proper support for 3rd party development. ICS has been release to the public almost a year ago and here we are still desperately waiting. Sure you can flash some custom ROMs to have a taste of it, but thing is, none of those ROMs has a fully functional camera due to the lack of the required driver which Samsung doesn't want to release. The same thing is happening to the Galaxy S3 now, it might take years before S3 users can get the Project Butter (which has already been launched) to their phone. But this is kinda offtopic so I don't want to talk much about it. All I want to say is: due to Samsung's crappy support, stay away from its products.
What I'd recommend you for now is Google's Nexus 7. It's Google's very own tablet so you can be sure that you'll always be up to date.
I'll advice you to go with ipad 3.
I've my tab and my friend has ipad.
Comparing both.... Ipad is way better than 10.1
Incase you want android, go for nexus 7,note 10.1, or Asus infinity pad

In my opinion, iPads are toys. Great for entertainment but if you want something that is close to a lap or desktop replacement get a Tab. Ignore Browy. The Tab 10.1 does NOT have "very poor resolution" or performance. I updated to ICS and it's plenty speedy, and there are lots of custom ROMs and tweeks to enhance it even more. something iPads will never have.
Listen to Kishorsidu and Browy. I agree with what they say. Don't buy a Galaxy Tab 10.1 it's too old. It was a good tablet when it was first released, but technology has moved on, and there are much better devices out there whether you want Android or Apple.
If you ask it this way, ipad 3, for sure! 10.1 is ****ing slow and old, and fw support is weak(official and xda)
I know there are android fanboys around that will argue against any apple product no matter what. I find this stupid and fanboyant!
I've been through Symbian, Symbian UIQ, windows mobile 5, 6, 6.5 , iOS, android, dos3.3- dos6, windows 3.11, NT, 95, 98, XP, 7, beos, os/2, all sorts of linuxes starting with slackware 3.2.
What you learn in the end is: there is no best, superior super duper ultra os. It all depends on your needs, what you expect and like!
So, go to the store and compare, read reviews and decide.
Also note, android like any linux product is a beta( even the "stable" versions). Its for people that like fiddling with stuff. This is not a bad thing! I like doing this from time to time.
If, on the other hand, you need something that just works, without being constantly kicked, pushed, rushed and fixed you might like the ipad. I dont say that iOS has no flaws and bugs, what I say is that in general, the things that apple promised, work.
Also, note that all apple devices get at least 3 years of official updates. Most android devices get forgotten in oblivion by their makers in about an year and your only hope is xda!
P.S. This is not anti-android, anti xda post! I respect all xda devs for what they are doing and I like android as a concept! I'm just expressing my view on the current situation!
regards
samsung galaxy tab 10.1 is still good unlike everyone says. you just have to make sure you don't screw with it too much installing custom roms and whatnot. i have had mine for a year and it's still amazing fast considering the fact that it's loaded with a pile of apps. don't exclude it from your choices.

this rom is amazing. get it.
The right device depends largely on what you want to do with it, and whether you're invested in either ecosystem. If you've already got a library of music/books/movies, etc. via iTunes, then the iPad is the choice. The same is true if you're invested in Google's ecosystem.
However, in terms of Android tablets, I wouldn't recommend the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (unless you're on a tight budget, because one can be had fairly cheaply)...and I say that as someone who owns one. Its not that I dislike it. On the contrary, it really does everything I need it to do. The problem is there are several newer, better tablets out now.
Probably the top 3 I'd consider (not in any order):
ASUS Transformer - Quad core Tegra 3, 1920 x 1200 resolution
Nexus 10 - 1.7 GHz Exynos, 2560 x 1600 resolution, Google reference device will be among the 1st to get updates
Galaxy Note 10.1 - S-Pen functionality is awesome and it has some other great features
You may also want to consider a MS Surface or other Windows 8 tablet.

Replaced My 7.7 With a Nexus 10

I've replaced my excellant 7.7 with the excellant Nexus 10 which is the only Android tablet which is better for my needs than the 7.7 mainly because of the much better screen resolution.
If Samsung had updated the 7.7 with a similar screen resolution and added s-pen support then I would have bought another 7.7 for it is more portable.
However, with no sign of Samsung about to make the changes that I need then I decided to get the Nexus 10 in case the changes never appear.
I would just like to thank all on this forum for the support which helped me get the most from my 7.7.
The 7.7 is for me without doubt the best tablet ever made. I love mine and will never give it up. The form factor/ design is beautiful. With ics this baby is very useable and quick. It's a shame it never had the market it truly deserved.
I have since bought a note 10.1 - only for the wacom tech. Must be honest, i don't like the design of the note. Also the screen res while adequate is nothing to write home about. Overall, It just doesn't feel as "premium" as the 7.7.
The jellybean update on 10.1 has provided a killer feature - multiview.
I want too bothered with no jb for 7.7.. But nowthat i have used multiview i am really craving it for the darling 7.7.

Well send a big Thank you to Apple for killing the sales of the 7.7 worldwide, making it too expensive for Samsung to develop JB for it.
Lets just hope that CM can pick up the exynos sources one day.
If it comes out for the note hopefully it will come out for the 7.7, shouldn't be much work for them.
