What's on your Android Christmas list? - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General

I recieved this as a gift a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I was going to upgrade my note 2 next month but will not need to since having this.
My wish list for this would be a better case. I have one from amazon that holds it in both landscape and portrait but is too flimsly. Any ideas on a better case?
What is on everone else's android Christmas list?

I got it 2 weeks ago, came with 3.1
but I've allready rooted him and now I'm waiting for CM9 ROM or another ICS ROM.
Which one do you have? Wifi or Wifi + 3G ?
You'll love it even more with CM9/ICS ... all residual lag is gone
I just got one for Christmas too. Came with 3.1 but there was an update for 3.2 that I did. Now rooted on stock from with OC kernel.

I just bought mine yesterday. $388 Boxing Day deal
Running 3.1 atm, waiting on the 3.2 update
Hows your case? I'm still looking for one
And actually how do you determine the manufacture date of the tab based on the 5th "Letter" in the serial number?
I picked one up for myself Monday as a trade in from a Kindle Fire and I am so happy!
The price difference well worth it and since I was able to put the money from returning the Kindle Fire I was able to grab a 32gig tab, simply awesome!
mum picked one up today (i went with her obviously) for 439 at Costco, and it was bundled with the official samsung leather sleeve... wifi only here
90day no questions asked return policy and 2 year warranty... not a half bad deal in my opinion
Is yours a Rogers or wifi Tab? If its Rogers you can update Android but if wifi only then Samsung have yet to release 3.2 for some reason

Wi-Fi model.
Yeah after reading into it, realized that the Canadian Wi-Fi models didn't receive the update yet
Got my wi-fi model today, rooted and custom rom on within 15 minutes.
Got mine on the 23rd. Am loving it so far. Not sure if I am going to keep it though. I also have a Transformer Prime on order that will get here sometime the first week in February.
I want to compare them side by side but I only have 30 days to return the GTab that I picked up from Sam's Club. I may return it and then repurchase one or with the problems that I have heard about with the Prime so far, I may just keep the Tab.
What should I do? What should I do? Hell, maybe I will just keep them both or sell one later on ebay or CL.

The tab gets way better once you change to a custom rom.

True! I'd recommend task's for smoothness, funtionality and stability.
First thing you want to do is root this bad boy and install a custom ClockworkMod recovery, from that you can make a nandoid backup of your stock rom, then flash away. Id recommend you try tasks rom beacuse it is still close to the stock feel plus its fast, stable, and loaded with features. Enjoy!

I'd keep the galaxy tab. With the transformer prime's problems I'd wait for new tablets to come out like the nexus tab or ipad3

How did you get your tab 2?

Hi there
I made this thread because everybody must have their story of how did they get the tab2
Mi \ne is simple-I just finished middle school with good grades and my dad bought me a tab2 7.0
So let's hear yours guys and girls
AndDon't flame and troll please
Good idea my story as i sold my ipad1 64 3g and put a small amount of money on the price i gained from selling and bought my tab2 p-5100 from a store near us with decent price no regrets as i had my galaxy s2 before and tried android system in it and found it more open and customized than ios of my sold ipad1

I bought a kindle fire from.best buy.
Returned it
Got an Acer a100 Iconia tab
Returned it
Got my Galaxy Tab the week it came out from the first batch at best buy here. It's good to know someone up there.
I liked the Acer. If the tab2 hadn't been there I'd still have it. Im glad I have what I have. I kinda wish it was a 10 inch. Anyone want to trade? Heh
I had some money from christmas,birthday etc and I wanted some cool android phone/tab which is not a low-end device such as my (orange monte carlo/zte skate(armv6,800mhz,512mb ram)) so i was looking for a good device for a decent price and chosen some products for e.g htc one v,xpera p or s or u,samsung galaxy ace2, but i really like the zte's "huge" screen(4,3") and my hands/fingers are also "not so small" and i didnt wanted a 3,5" or 3,8" then i decided to go with the galaxy tab 2 (p3110) and kept my zte skate(for phone calls and messaging) next day I went to a store and bought it.
bought a iconia a100 returned and bought a galaxy tab 2 7"
Traded a g2x at best buy and got 120 store credit and paid cash for the difference.

I sold my rooted NookColor on eBay for $165. Bought the GT27 from MacMall for $220 shipped on a 1 day special.
Happy with the purchase and the upgrade from the NookColor!
Went out to buy a nexus 7 and the store i went to didn't have any so i saw this ( my SGT2 7) and that was that
Almost had a punch up in the shop with the sales assistant and he was insisting i buy an anti-virus and a case for it. In the end i was rather rude to the guy and left in a bad mood , but once i got home and messed about with the tab i was feeling sweeeet !
Really hate shop assistants ( especially "tech experts")... they never know what the are talking about and just chat crap to get a sale lol.
Saw the Galaxy 2 7 at Best buy. Played with it, missed having a tablet, as I had given my Nook Color to my son. But then they announced Nexus 7
I saved in my birthday fund (gift for myself) for the Nexus 7, ignoring the Tab.
Then they revealed the lack of an SD card for Nexus, so I took another look at Tab.
Love it, no regrets
I'm now looking for 64 GB card, so YES i do need the slot!
I decided I was sick of carying about a bunch of different devices each doing different things and wanted to consolidate everything into one device. After researching tablets for about a week, I decided on on the GTab 2 and ordered it online. Because I live in China, the version I got was without many features available elsewhere (no access to Play for instance due to the Chinese government's disagreements with Google). I couldn't return it, but I didn't want to be stuck with a China-market tablet, so I looked into ways to 'fix' it which led me here. :good:
I was looking for tablet for about 4 weeks and actually decided to wait for the nexus 7 to be available in Germany. The other day I my brother and I were looking for some new PS3 games in an electronics market and I started to play with the tablets they had exhibited as I was concerned 7" are to small.
Long story short: I neither wanted a small 7" devices nor wanted to wait any longer. Quickly checked whether a CM10 nightly was available. Found it, went home to start the downloads and pick up my savings.
And here I am.

Well...I went to the darkside for a while and tried the iPad2.
I got a very good prices from my local dealer so I thought I´d give it a go.
But after playing around(or at least trying to play around) with it for a few days I feelt very limited and didn´t have the options and choices I was looking for.
So I went back to the store and swaped it for my current Tab 2 10.1, and I´m absolutely loving it...freedom and usability as it was meant to be !
I got a BlackBerry Playbook for Xmas for myself,loved the hardware but slowly grew more disapointed,so i rented some living space to a friend for a month, and bought this tab 'cause its the same hardware,just open source (good place to start learning dev'ing, is my other reason)
Saw the Galaxy 2 7.0 at Best Buy played with it and waited to buy the Student Edition, got the bundle yesterday and loving so much!!:victory:
I got mine at best buy.

Got mine free through a promotion with Telus. I signed up for their Internet and had a choice of a super crappy netbook or the Galaxy Tab 10.1... The choice was obvious!

No harm in trying. They do need a scan or photo of proof of purchase.
Bit of a kick in the balls for early adopters...

[Q] Nexus 4 discontinued? (Norway)

Hello
I'm ready for swapping out my old HTC Desire S, and one of the options is the Nexus 4 of course. While looking here in Norway, it seems that nobody is selling the phone anymore. I remember browsing around in early July and there were plenty of places selling them. But now it's hard to come by. As examples:
1) The biggest operator (Telenor) used to sell it, but the page is gone.
2) On online store (teknikmagasinet.no) states that the product has been discontinued
There's also that famous article from the Inquirer saying back in July that the device was gone from one big seller in the UK.
Could this be it? Could it be the end of the Nexus 4, foretelling the Nexus 5? I would like to know because if this is the case, then I can wait a couple of months.
Regards
/p
Well new phone is coming out in q4 for sure.

Hi,
Very likely there is going to be a new nexus launched in the coming few months. Nonetheless the n4 is a great phone. You'd do well either to buy the next one new when it's released or else get a second hand one at that point - lots of people will trade up & eBay their old n4, I reckon.
Sent from my Oric-1 micro
Thank you for your replies. Then it seems I'll hold it. Either new Nexus or second hand N4. :good:
I'm not quite sure but if the new nexus comes out on america at the end of this year, it will probably be sold out. It'll take some extra months until it te reaches Europe.
It's back again! Nexus 4, here I come !! :laugh:

T-Mobile no longer carries Nexus 7 :(

I went to buy the Nexus 7 today on the site and it was gone. Hmm so I called and the rep told me that is was no longer in the system. Said it looks like that will not carry it. So the only Android tablet the have now is the Samsung Galaxy tab 3 eww.
They will have the Note 10.1 2014 soon and likely the new nexus a bit further out.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
silver lining?
I noticed that the other day - I was struggling to keep myself from buying one, since the new Nexus tablet is probably arriving in a month or 2. I'm actually sort of glad T-mobile made the decision for me.
I was really considering getting one from them. Then I saw a like new used one for 210. Score!
Well if a new nexus 10" comes out with LTE, I know I will be selling my unlocked 7"
