my problems with this tablet. - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General

i have 3 things that i find utterly annoying with this tablet.
1. it seems that while in drawing with sketchbook pro, the button on the s pen gets in the way, idk if i just cant figure out how, but it needs an option to turn off the button.
2. the sounds removing the s pen(at least for me) kinda suck, would like the option to add custom sounds.
3.this is just a toss in one, but when i got my tablet, the right botton corner was up, like it hadnt been put together from the factory, after about 10 min about gentle coaxing it snapped back into place, but come on samsung... 600 for a tablet with out of the box defects?? not a big issue though

I agree. I had the original 10.1 & loved it but I sold it in hopes of getting this new 10.1 or the surface pro. Glad I didn't get the new 10.1. Then some people complain of lag on it. I guess it's all the bloatware Samsung has running on it. Good luck either way.

You should be able to replace the pen sound once root is available. My original Note 10.1 does the lightsaber sound. People at work get a kick out of it. You basically use a root enabled file explorer and replace the sound files. Pretty straight forward.

I went with the new Note 10.1. My wife is getting a 256GB Surface Pro 2. Something tells me she is going to have the better experience.

After the second update a few days ago it's butter smooth now.

She will, until she tries getting apps to do stuff or really customizing her experience. The Surface Pro 2 is a diesel device, but I hate the Windows 8 mobile ecosystem.

Windows...hmm where have I heard this name before?
Im thinking about Note 10.1 2014, but I wanna see if Google will annouce a new 10in tab on 24th, because I rather get that.

I'd highly recommend upgrading your S Pen. I ordered and just received my Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel. The difference is night and day, the weight, size and feel is much better. The button is almost flush too. I got it just for Sketchbook and really makes a difference.

I've heard there was some offset issue with the Bamboo Stylus Feel, are you not running into that issue? Also which model did you get (color)?

Ask yourself if you will use the s-pen at all. If the answer is no, wait it out or just get the current Nexus 10. If the answer is yes, get this. The screen is GORGEOUS, it runs really well, and feels INCREDIBLE in the hands. I don't care what comes out on the 24th, I will not regret this (and I could 100% return this tab if something does come out).

Also rumor is that there isn't any hardware being released on the 24th event.

An announcement will be good enough, and if stuff does become available to purchase, that is just icing on the cake for me.

I did notice some offset. The offset for me is when I have the pen angled. Depending on how you hold will determine the offset. The s pen does seems more accurate. But the Wacom feels better in hand. I haven't done any detail work with the wacom, just loose sketches. I could see using both. I know there is the Samsung version, maybe that one doesn't offset as much, not sure. I was gonna order one to test out.

I don't think it's that simple. I like stock Android and all but I worry about stability and quality control issues with nexus 10 tabets. I hope I'm wrong for others sake but I had a bad experience with the last nexus 10. Bad light bleed on two of them and crashing issues. I went into purchasing thinking was was not going to use the Spen that much but man am I glad it's there. It's just nice. Plus I'm really digging all the extras like the dual apps in split screen for example.

Fair point. Even when custom ROMs come out I'm not going to put AOSP on here because I really like the Samsung extras. I'm really amazed at this tab. It's phenomenal all around. We get something like hyperdrive or Revolution HD and it'll be spotless.

Also, I hope people are taking advantage of the Samsung app "Watch On" that came installed.
Uses the ir blaster to change the volume and channels with a cable guide that you can just press what you want to watch and it changes it for you. Also if you have a newer smart TV you can watch what you are watching on TV on your tablet. It's like magic lol. I have my tv, cable box, AV receiver, and blu ray player all set up a land It's makes for an awesome experience

I found this application to be just awful. I ended up using "Smart Remote" as I just could not stand the interface. I don't have cable, just a media center, so giving me all sorts of info on whats on TV is useless. I wish there was a way to turn that stuff off, as I may use it then.

Screen comparison

How does the screen compare to the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1.? I know people say that the Galaxy tab screen is over saturated but that is a good thing to me because the colors pop more, and I seen a comparison video of the 2 and the galaxy tabs screen is much brighter not that it matters because I usually turn down the brightness, i just want to know if it's a really close call or does the Samsung blow it away?

All I'm gonna say is, between the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Transformer, you shouldn't base your decision of buying which on the screen. Both have their good points and bad points.

Well, the Transformer has a MicroSD slot while GTab 10.1 don't. The GTab 10.1 is lighter, thinner.

I think the Sammy has a better screen overall. It is brighter and has deeper colors. But not by a lot. In my use of the Sammy 10.1 in stores, it did seem more responsive overall, and in comparison it seems I have to touch a bit harder to get the TF to register inputs. But I do agree the displays are close enough it really isn't the thing one should hinge their decision on.

That may be true...I've had my TF for a few days now and beyond the cool YouTube app, don't see much more I can't already do on my Samsung Infuse...I like the experience but I could spend the $400 on something more practical right now...itvis a fine unit but considering taking it back...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I think it comes down to a few things. The extra $100 you "save" with the TF, the microsd expansion, and the dock. If none of these matter to you, then you may want to get the Tab 10.1.
I use the TF as my main computer, so I could not live without the expansion space and most importantly the dock. Typing messages like this are such a breeze.

No! the transformer blows it away
The Samsung screen is sickly, samsung saw the negative reviews of the xoom about how flat the colors were and went to far the other way! It's gross!
The overall spec of the Tab is another joke, they read about ipad thin and decided to go thin, in fact it's so thin there's no room for anything, micro sd, hdmi.
What's the point in that

Actually, that's not at all true. While the number of Honeycomb-optimized apps are still around 300, most Android apps run on Honeycomb just find. They might not take great advantage of the larger screen, but they scale just fine in most cases and are fully functional.
I use my TF for 95% of what I used to use a notebook for. That couldn't possibly be true if Web browsing was all Honeycomb is good for at this point.

Bought Galaxy Note 10.1 today! Yipee!

So far I'm enjoying the experience!
But I still don't have a case that's why I can't use it that much. :/
And what are the tips and tricks for our Notes?
Thanks!

Actually You don't really need a case. I brought mine an my wife her's around the globe without damage scratches or creaking.
If You need a really slim case get original Sammy case. Although with partly bad critics it's the most unobtrusive case and works perfect in the limits of it's slimness.
Or get a Scott eVest like me, it's got a pocket for tablets : like a magician You pull it out ready to Note ............

I don't miss my Asus dock much at all. The note is pretty incredible. Really HDMI there is an adapter for that. If you can afford about $80 for it on Amazon the AllShare Cast dongle is amazing and can make for some slick presentations.
Bestapp depends on what you wantto do. But unique to the note LectureNotes is perfect for handwritten notes. Lots of postings on the forum about notes and sketching apps.

Which Galaxy Tab 2 is better?

Between Galaxy tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy tab 2 10.1, which one do you think is better?
Comparing the specs, pros and cons and design, which one do you think its more worth it for me?
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
I recommend the 7 cause it is a lot more portable, cheaper, might not have some fancy things as the 10.1 but it has great ROMs and now I just found this script someone made that will increase my memory because it swaps internal SD with external SD now I'm running 32gb of memory this tab is well worth the money and I saw at Walmart they sell it for 200 dollars now so yeah
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I personally think if you are buying tab 2 than choose 7 inch model.
10 inch model is highly over priced.it just have 3inch extra(higher resolution) and all other specs are same.
So go and get 7" tab 2.believe of you will never regret your purchase.
If you want 10" consider 10" note or upcoming galaxy nexus 10.
Thank you for all the replies. So, in terms of specs, there is no particular differences between 7.0 and 10.1?
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
Yes no difference in two models except size and resolution.
And pressing thanx button is much better than just saying thanx.
But i heard that the tab 2 10.1 have 2 speakers at the front instead of 1 speaker at the side. I dunno if this helps but i regularly go to YouTube for entertainment.

Honestly with the sound quality this tablet has its still got a great speaker! I watch tons of movies on my tab all the time, Netflix, xfinity, and downloaded movies they all sound in a way surround although the speakers are only on the bottom. There are actually two I'm almost positive well I have two haha

Buy the 7. The 10 I think should have better specs than the 7 for the price but it doesn't. (Other than the resolution)
If I got a 10 I'd go for the note 10.1.
1000th post, whaa
go for the 7 inch. if you want a 10 inch model, i recommend buying the new nexus, or even a kindle hd, which is not 10" but have better specs. the tab 2 with 10 inches really should have an upgraded cpu at least.

So that means that I should just get the tab 2 7.0 because it has no differences between the 10.1 and its cheaper? The reason im buying a tablet is because i am getting only $500 from my school and idk which tablet is within this price.

I don't know, man... you want the speakers, you want a bigger screen... seems clear to me you want a 10 inch. I really don't get why're you asking, if you read your posts, all of them aim at you wanting de 10". Maybe you just haven't realized it yet.
To me, there's no "better than". 10 inch and 7 inch can accomodate very different situations... someone said "it's only 3 inches", but that's A LOT. That's almost the difference between a regular smartphone and a tab. And 43% extra. But at the same time, it's less portable, and more difficult to handle.
You have to choose, depending on the use YOU will give to it, so that's where you start. Watching videos, or the kind of apps... even how are you planning to carry it.
I like my 7", because I can watch videos, read news and e-mails one handed. It's a very comfortable size for playing games, as well. And I can carry it on my bag without having to remove anything of what I used to carry before. Eventually, I'm planning to get a belt-holster kinda thing. Some other people might prefer to sacrifice some mobility, to get some more screen real estate, and get a richer multimedia experience, but in my case, for those situations I jump to my laptop. 10 inches would be too close to its screen... the same way, if I had a Galaxy Note, a 7 inch would have been too close to my phone's screen (this is why my "gnote-owning" wife isn't interested in a tab).

Why i prefer a bigger screen is because I can see better and it is more of a comfort to use. But if the 10" isnt going to have a better specs than the 7", then I wouldnt have any choice other than the 7" because wasting money on something with **** specs isnt what i intended to do. How I am planning to carry it is simply just put it in my bag.
Same goes for me. If i had the 7" tablet, it will be really close to my screen because of my note being 5.3".
Then again, screen size is an issue but not a must for me. If the google nexus 7 is better than tab 2 10" in terms of specs, I will take that. I heard that it is running Jelly Bean, sounds cool.

I prefer the 7.0 because of portability. There are several ROMs to choose for already and you can now swap ext sd with internal SD!

Then again, screen size is an issue but not a must for me. If the google nexus 7 is better than tab 2 10" in terms of specs, I will take that. I heard that it is running Jelly Bean, sounds cool.

If you have a Gnote, a 7-inch tablet is a little redundant. Nexus 10 / Note 10 would be a good option.

i was specting at least, water proof, The new Sony Z1 looks tempting, the only thing holds me back is the big screen Note series :crying:
Very cool, soft touch back looks great, love the new S Pen features. Will be picking this up at launch, but it would've had to be truly terrible for me not to at this point.

You were expecting a phone with a context sensitive stylus slot to be waterproof? I mean, it'd be nice, but expecting?

If you have a Note2, why disappointing? So far looks like a software and size bump. Not worth it for most of us to upgrade unless it's the time for you, but I'm not disappointed. If my Note2 ever completely explodes I'll get a 3.
Sohebq has already started a thread about the release stuff btw.

It’s finally got pop-up apps (vs. two sizable parallel windows) which the Note 10.1 has had since launch. They are so much more flexible and productive. TW doesn't look to have changed much but how it works, at least on the N3, seems to have been pretty heavily revised. The camera's huge so I'd assume some pretty trick stuff is going to be announced. Also, there are no speakers on the front or the back. Dual speakers (one on each side) maybe? We'll know soon.
P.S. - I hope it comes in brown.
The video's been pulled but here are some stills. I like the "leather look."

Yeah! The N3 has Qualcomm's RF360 which means it will support all available LTE bands. Unlocked N3's will work on any carrier worldwide and support LTE roaming (assuming it's provided by your carrier).
I really don't like it, and I'm a huge Samsung freak.

However I didn't like the s4 either, but it grew on me.

Worth it to upgrade from v1 Note 10.1?

I have the gen 1 Note 10.1 and absolutely love it. Is the new 2014 Note a worthwhile upgrade? In particular, are the screen and speed much better?

I just went from the OG 10.1 to the 10.1 2014... When I first bought my 10.1 last year, I was very tempted to bring it back because I hated the screen. I soon realized that I loved the device as a whole, though. I got a TON of use out of it. I couldn't give it up and I got over the screen for a while. Once I heard there was going to be a updated version coming and then they announced it was the same screen as the Nexus 10, I was sold immediately. When you are trying to read smaller text on the OG 10.1 screen, you strain your eyes because the pixel density is just not there. Everything looks grainy. Once you see the screen on the 10.1 2014, its a game changer. You can't go back. I swear it hurts my eyes to look at the OG 10.1 now.
All that screen comes with a price though. I still feel there are things that the OG 10.1 handles betters just because it doesn't have to push all of those pixels on the screen. There are times when the 10.1 2014 will have some random chugs and video video performance and I def think it's because of the extra resolution it has to process. Either way, the device in general is very fast and multi-tasks like a champ. I know for me it was a no-brainer to upgrade. But that might vary for different people and their financial situations.
Hope that helps
That helps a lot. Im going to go pick up one tomorow if the screen really helps with reading. By the way, I hope you dont work for Samsung lol.

Haha good call... If I did, it would be silly for me to point out it's flaws to obviously
Read the Note 2014 review as many as possible before you decide to upgrade.
I'm going to say Hell yes! The upgrade is worth it. Just for the screen it's worth it.. But improved s-note is great too. It feels like a much more premium tablet than last year's model in my opinion. Speed I don't notice much difference if anything the new version is a bit laggier but I see that getting fixed with software updates and it's fine for what I use it for the most. As a notebook for school

I went ahead and got it. The screen is indeed much nicer. It is quite large though. I find that snote in particular is much slower.

Large? You're comparing to original 10.1, how can this be large?
Sorry meant laggy. Damn autocorrect.

The speakers on the old Note 10.1 are actually pretty good. How are the the speakers on the 2014 edition compared to the old version?

They are not as good because they are no longer on the front.

They're a lot better compared to if they were located in the back. In my opinion, the location of the speakers on the 10.1 2014 is well justified for the slimmer bezel. Of course, this is a personal choice. Some people don't mind huge bezels (e.g., new Nexus 7).
I just got the 2014 ed. a few days ago, still getting used to it. I like that it's lighter and the screen is awesome. I'm not jazzed about the physical buttons and it's not as responsive. However, now that it's sporting a proper display I can pass down the Nexus 7 to the kids and use the Note tablet for reading as well. I'm really looking forward to Google Play Magazines on it. I'll try to remember to post more as I go. The higher storage capacity is nice also.
I own a first gen Note 10.1 GT-N8013.
The updates on the G-Note 10.1 2014 has struck my interest and I would really like to own one but............
The problems that are being reported with speaker gills and IR blasters being loose, lag issues and the Knox counter issue for root has put out that fire in me.
I may wait til next year or at lease wait for all the bugs to be worked out.

Valid concerns.
Holding out for Note 12.2" with Snapdragon 800 to arrive in the US. Coming from original Note 10.1 10.1" doesn't do the pen justice plus it's small for a device that requires two hands and miss the stability. Never once experienced a random reboot or hang which happens, although rare, even with Nexus 7, 7 2013 and 10. 2014 will be very interesting, too,with A57 ARMv8 64-bit variants on ~16nm node and 4GB+ DRAM. Like to see more AutoCAD like apps like CATIA.
How are you guys dealing with the changes to MultiWindowing? I miss cascade mode. Although, I think someone here has a way to show more than 2 apps at a time. Still looking for that.

You can have more than two, and any app, by using pen window manager (needs root).
