I know but there is no Tab 3 section

Just curious. I saw that they recently released the Tab 3. What does it have over the Tab 2 besides a home button? Specs seem almost the same.

The main differences between the two are the processor 1.2Ghz and the 1.3 megapixel camera. It also has a nice alluminum bezel, micro usb port and the home button. Other than that not much difference.

yep, they dropped the funky charger, micro usb port like you said and the entire body is less wide--my screen protector from the tab 2 hangs off on both sides.
looking forward to a new section!!

Tab 3 7.0 rootable yet?
Do people able to root the device yet? Can we use the same method as the tab 2 7 ? Will it brick or anything?

Unless you see a specific root instruction for your device, do not try anything.
No matter how similar tab2 and tab3 are, they are different devices. Just wait for the new section for your device to be created.
Stop bringing your questions here, cuz we can't answer them. We all have tab2. How would we know?

There are probably dedicated threads for nexus 7.2 but nothing for our tab 3 yet. My 8 will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to root and debloat.

I'm just like you, can never wait for these type of methods! They should sell these also as "rooted version"..!

I just got mine 3 days ago, so far no big problems just an occasional hang-ups when i open several apps....

Im curious. Those of you who purchased the Tab3 7 inch. Are you upgrading from another 7 inch tab? What tab is this one replacing?

I am upgrading from the tab 2 7 inch just because they were out of stock on a return. wish I hadn't the tab 3 is no big difference, the stock rom is bloated and yes, the internet gets dropped when idle for me too.

I got the 8". Replacing a 1st gen Kindle Fire - tired of being restricted to the Amazon App Store etc (and rooting of course takes away the instant video and free kindle book prime benefits) . Also have the Galaxy S Blaze phone and very happy with it which led me to the Tab 3. 8" is a really nice size for use as an e-reader.
On both the Tab 3 and my S Blaze, I had trouble keeping WiFi connection when connected to my N router (I run one G and one N b/c I don't have a dual-band that will maintain the N speed and we still have some G only devices). They stay connected to the G (Linksys) with no problem. Never investigated further as it doesn't make enough difference for me to care. Something to think about.

anyone with x86 10.1?
how it's for gaming? carma, gta, dead space etc?

what's a good 3d game to try on 8.0? i don't game on tablet or phone.sometimes play ballsbreaker and drawsome type of games.
still no dedicated tab 3 thread? tab3 doesn't deserve any attention? overpriced crap? i like my 8. mostly 5 star reviews. hope its going to be very popular soon.

I have a tab 2 10.1
im looking for a replacement but im torn between
Galaxy tab 3 10.1(hasnt been released in my country yet)
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy Note 8.0
all of them are quite an upgrade from my tab 2 but i dont know, what do you guys think?

Galaxy Tab P1013

Samsung is releasing a new Tab under the Model No. P1013
the only confirmed difference from P1010 is the black back cover , nothing else
Hardware is the same , and it using Froyo 2.2.1
so far it is using the same ROM installed on P1010. you can find the model No. P1013 mentioned only on the back cover .
Where did you get it?
In the US?
Still under development. the one I got is for testing purposes only.

I have tried 5 or 6 Samsung devices before being released, after release no hardware changes only software.
Last week I tried the galaxy tab 8.9 inches; honeycomb is laggy. But for sure it will much faster after fixing all of the bugs. It will be much better than ipad2.
By the way. You can install the back cover on P1000, not easy but applicable.

Galaxy Tab. Buy or wait?????

Hi folks!
So, my question is:
Do I buy a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or do I wait a bit more so I buy a next generation Galaxy Tab with quad core and stuff (are the releasing it soon?).
Galaxy Tab 10.1 will receive ICS?
What would you recommend?
I know there is another post about this problem. But the answers were from June. I want to know now in November. What do you guys think?
Thanks!
If samsung can assure you that when you buy a 10.1 you will not get one with the "newton rings" then buy it.
For me I would not recommend samsung......sorry folks.....

What you want to buy is totally up to you, but as for updates, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 *will* receive the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade, which will bring a whole heap of new benefits.
And there will always be people like bongski who may have had bad experiences, but rest assured that of the three Samsungs I've bought, I've never had a problem with one.
Also, for future reference the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does have its own forum here on XDA.

I agree. As much trouble that I have had with Samsung support is just amazing. I had the battery problem and finally had to open up my tab and disconnect the battery to fix it Samsung knows about this problem and should have had a recall. This does not bid well for Samsung.

I agree. Read all you can from the xda 10.1 forum particularly the problems encountered,then make your own decision.....
Thanks, guys!
Sorry, I didn't find the 10.1 forum....
I think I'll buy it!
plenty of newer tablets coming out... just wait a bit... personally, i WAS holding my breath for the tab 7.7, but i passed out...
Some if not most 10.1 suffer lag and you will probably need to root and load custom roms. I have my brothers tab and have not rooted it yet and I can't stand the lag. Sometimes I feel like I'm back to single core. I think for the most part its Honeycomb combined with touchwiz. I'm gonna give it back to my brother and wait for the Transformer prime with quad core. I'm sure ICS will fix most of the lag but I don't know if I can rely on Samsung to get ICS anytime soon. I also don't like that it doesnt have an sd card slot.
For now Ill be using my Samsung 7 inch tab till the prime comes.
Buy now or wait for the new technology? Well, if you always wait for the technology you'll never buy anything!
I'd wait and see if Samsung get over their Ipad cloneing phase...
Not that the 10.1 is a POS ipad but the fact that you can't put in an sd card and have more memory is a little too apple for me... That was the most compelling thing about the GTab, it had expandable memory...
I don't see the point of getting a more higher powered beefy machine that uises apps that are 2-5 times more memory dependant on installation and having NO memory to use, not to mention songs, movies and ebooks... What was Samsung thinking?

Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), offers Ice Cream Sandwich on a seven-inch platter

Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), offers Ice Cream Sandwich on a seven-inch platter
It looks like Samsung has just taken the wraps off its latest tablet offerings, with the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) -- an ICS-laced follow-up to the company's original seven-incher. Available in both 3G and WiFi varieties, this redux doesn't mark a huge departure from its predecessor, packing a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1024 x 600 LCD. The big changes, however, come in the software department, with the Galaxy Tab 2 shipping with Android 4.0 straight out of the box. Other than that, you'll find a three-megapixel rear-facing camera, a VGA shooter up front, Bluetooth capabilities, and HSPA+ connectivity. No word yet on pricing or availability, but it's worth noting that we first saw this announcement hit Samsung's RSS feed earlier this morning, and it appears to have been pulled since then. It all looks awfully official to us, but when it becomes officially official, we'll be sure to update this post accordingly. Until then, be sure to head past the break for a shot of its backside.

Maybe, the galaxy note 10.1 is good for you
They're yet to mention whether this or the new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 have the Tegra 2 chip, even if I didn't have my original Tab there's no way I'd buy it with a Tegra 2.

Me too.......
Really, ohhh come on Samsung why are you doing this, this is an inferior model compared to the galaxy 7.7 the only thing it has going for is ICS which the 7.7 doesn't at the moment. This is why Samsung is playing catch-up to Apple even though I deeply believe that the tabs are supperior but churning all these different models for what? Just concentrate on one single model and make it the best device available.

I would rather get the Asus transformer infinity 700.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
that would explain why samsung doesn´t upgrade the original tab to ICS
7" is good for carrying around, so 3G is a must-have feature.

Note 10.1 Pro port?

Here's hoping a dev can grab the system dump of the note 10.1 Pro and port it over to us since the hardware is exact. Since Samsung is taking their sweet time to give us our update to kitkat and magazine ux....
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
There is no note 10.1 Pro.
The firmware for the note pro 12.1 has been available for quite some time now but as far as I know no dev has tried to port it.
It might be fairly easy since the hardware is the same but I think the difficulty has something to do with the bootloader needed by kitkat.
I do believe there will be a 10.1 pro I was reading about on Engadget. Maybe just a tab pro

tab pro is the name of it. And yes, it is probably possible but don't get your hopes up. Things move slowly or don't move at all development on this device. And it would be better to port the note 12.1 since we would retain all note features but gain extras. The note 12.1 has nearly the same exact specs, even the resolution is the same (screen size in this case doesn't matter).

Scrosler tried and gave up because it was too much hassle,

[Q] So... is CM coming to this device?

I am quite new to the forums but I am just wondering if CM is coming to this device... seeing as installing CM11 on my mother's Galaxy S3 and it works super duper fast, the Tab 4 Lags with touchwiz...

Probably not. This devices are not so popular and all good devs have a Nexus 7 or 9. So Id bet this tabs wont get cm11 or 12 or anything but a debloated stock rom.
What is your device?

T230NU, I really need a langauge pack on this device since my mom doesn't quite understand English.. Russian would be good
Thats upsetting considering they had CM working on a little crappy Huawei phone, but wont do it for a samsung tablet...
It depends on the devs. We got so lucky that some devs owned the tab s and made a unoffical build of cm11 and aphla build of cm12. I own a tab s and are lucky to have cm11 on this device.
If a talented Dev applied himself it is possible but mostly the issue is our chip set is hard to work with. The tab s wasn't.

i bought a SM-T530 today, first tablet but had many android phones (htc desire, s2, s3, htc m8 and so on) and rooted/rom on all of them.
impulse bought this tab 4 tablet expecting good things due to the fact its a samsung tab series and just expected there would be a scene of roms for these samsung tablets! boy was i wrong.
very dissapointed i bought this tablet now considering i cant even find an aosp rom for it at the moment.
first time i have not researched a device. i burnt myself big time. im never a fan of stock roms. :crying:
will keep an eye on these forums for roms. hoping someone does an aosp rom of some kind for it.

Yes. I do not think the Tab 4 chipsets are exynos. Our tab s are exynos which is probaly why some devs who dont own this tablet still makes kernels and roms.

Yeah, my niece got a tab 4 for christmas, and I was helping her out with it, since I'm the "tech" guy. I was pretty disappointed with it, to be honest. It made me really appreciate my nexus.
So far only real gripe I have is lack of brightness sensor... Amazed they left that off.

Yeah, same here. And the non lighted software keys are kind of annoying when using the tab in the dark like I am right now.

completely agree. not sure why they did that.
Not an exynos in t230. Its marvell pxa1088 Which is a four core similar to the dual core in tab 3 7 inch

Maybe create a petition on porting cyanogenmod to tab 4?
hi,
the sm-t23x is going to hit the same wall that the tab 3 7.0 hit because of the marvell situation.
although, from the effort with the tab 3 7, there may be new knowledge available marvell wise for working
with the tab 4 7.
I would recommend getting to work on it over waiting for someone else to do it. :good:
