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?

May i know what kind of battery problem that u had?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Well, nine months ago I got the Galaxy Tab P1010, WiFi model. In this time, I was looking for a cheap tablet, and bought this. Two, three months later I was looking for an update, to Gingerbread (the lastest android in this time, because Samsung said no to honeycomb).
I didn't found. But on semptember, a tweet said that Gingerbread was coming in few weeks, wow, I was very excited, soo I waited... On 15st of octuber, ICS is launched, W-O-W. I was surprised by a very, very, very pretty Android.
In this time I was hoping for Samsung(lol), but, some weeks later, the surprise: Just the dual-core tablet will got.
But, I said: Oh no, but maybe someone on XDA will do this ROM, because the android 4 is open source.
November I installed the gingerbread by SamFirmwares, it was good but ICS is better! So, this time, I went on the forums searching and searching.
On december enough project was lauched, so I start to do a idiot thing: Ask for someone do the ROM, I learned the lesson(uff.).
In january, I saw a topic called for: Cyanongemod 7.2 and 9 for p1010. When I saw I think that was another guy asking if is disponible an update, but, was Motafoca saying that will do this. Wow! I spend months and months being a tester with PSO. It was nice, but who saids that it will be soo hard? Motafoca said that is the most difficult work on develop.
But, all this experience make me fell like a idiot. Why? Because Samsung launched Galaxy Tab 2, for the same price but with dual-core and honeycomb. Just Motafoca is working on this now, and... the question:
Do you, p1010 user, fell this way too?

wow, you seriously just said exactly what i feel since the moment i got my p1010. Samsung doesn't port ics to older devices, it just makes new devices so you HAVE to buy their products! and i really appreciate Motafoca for what he's doing for our near forgotten tab! no matter it's taking this long, but i believe he will give us a working cm7 in a few months! thanks for this thread samcortez!

And no Value Pack for us.
Picked up a Galaxy Tab about 3 weeks ago! But the touch screen started to freeze last night! So got a refund from Asda and just pre ordered a Galaxy Tab 2 from Carphone Warehouse for the same price I paid at Asda!
Even with the New one being released! Would have still been quite happy with the old one, if not for the fault!

I'm happy with my tab too (except for freezing, looks like a phone, lagg of support etc....) but i don't want to buy a new device each time there's an android update, i just want to use 1 device for a long time WITH new firmwares. even the very first android device (i think the htc one) got an update quite fast after the release of ics. and this new tab ran on froyo till just a few weeks ago. im just feeling fooled by samsung by buying this device

Well, i felt this way too after the first two weeks where u get good support from samsung, but after they treat u like dirt. And thats why we came to a much better and faster supporting update platform, called XDA Developers!
I dont give a **** on samsung and its updates, i got two samsung tablets p1000 running aokp #B36 and p6200(7.0 plus) with 3.2 stock.
So guess which one is running really smoother with more features?
Of Course my p1000 with aokp!!! Just to mention that the p6200 is actually double fast in hardware specs..
Guys, we got devs who really care, samsung is not even worth this post...
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA
It is samsung following Motorola steps.
It's just frustrating as really love my tab just wish there was some more devs working on it. I don't have the time to go near this kind of project myself.
Hehe my coding is even more rusty than my tab. But now prestigo are selling ics tabs for under €200 and spec is similar to our tab. Grrrrrr

Samsung published a blog post today, confirming the appearance of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III at the Olympic opening ceremony in London that just took place a couple hours ago.Samsung have uploaded a behind-the-scenes of the appearance and all the work that went into it.

anybody know that video?
so has anyone heard any rumors or other leaks about the possibility of there being a note 5? if so what have you heard, and what do you think of it. I am waiting to see if samsung decides to make one to possibly upgrade to it.

yes i realize that. the only reason i ask is because in the past i have started hearing rumors about phones before the one that was about to come out was actually released to the public.

Your best bet it to wait for S6 rumors. They usually have the same features but the Note series has better hardware.

As always samsung uses to upgrade devices that is not too popular in 6-7 mounths after the AOSP release.
Lollipop was announced for Note 2, Note 3 and Galaxy S4 by Samsung Finland.
I have hopes we will get Lollipop, at least I'm praying
Sadly I have lost all faith in Samsung and will not purchase another of their products. I realize it's sacrilege around here but I bought myself an Ipad air 2 for Christmas. Being that I'm keeping the note 10.1 (2014) I'll have a good comparison between the two items.

I agree but there is no other android tablet with s pen in that size and prize range.... next best thing is ms surface but that's something else completely.
The thing is, I use the pen for alot of stuff (drawing plans to rearrange our flat for example ) and alot of friends and family are totally intrigued by it. I can't imagine buying a tablet without pen after this... its a must have feature once you're used to it. Sadly there is no real competition...
Nevertheless I'm almost sure there will be a lollipop update for it reasonably soon (2-3 months). Unless samsung releases a note 10.1 2015 in the next 2-3 months then the update could be even later. But remember even the original note 10.1 got updated to KitKat!
It'll probably never happen...
So sick and tired of samsungs crap support. I am also sick of my Note 10.1 2014 just being "good enough" to get tasks done. I only use lecture notes for this tablet to annotate pdfs. With no lollipop in sight, I'm buying a surface pro 3 at the beginning of next semester to replace this tablet and my ultrabook. If i get real desperate for android, I'll use Console OS. Peace out sammy, if you have no interest in supporting your products, neither do I...

I thought it worth to let you all know that I am using Lollipop on a Samsung Note 2014 10.1(SM-P600) wifi only.
There is a thread on the android original development forum by RaymanFX. Its Cyanogenmod 12 which means its Touchwiz free and KNOX fuse is tripped.
More importantly however its miles ahead of KitKat- touchwiz in terms of responsivenes, snappines and fluidity.
There also is this article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/analysis-of-the-galaxy-note-3-android-5-0-leak/ and if all is well and truly as remarkable with Touchwiz- Lollipop then I would love to see this ported somehow to Samsung Note 2014 10.1(SM-P600) wifi and sister/brother models.
Adding all Apps from Samsung Note Pro 12.2 to such a port would be like phenomenal! I have donated before and would donate again on a project like that.
:good:
This tablet will be updated but it's going to be awhile so relax and enjoy life until then.

If you bought a Samsung tablet and expected much more than 1 update, you're a fool. It's a trade off for superior functionality over the more-update Nexus tablets.

I have a Nexus 7 (the first edition). It received the Lollipop update last year and since then is almost useless due to lags and sluggishness. I also got the most recent update (L 5.02) which they claim it fixes N7 lags, but I did not see any improvement. Everything is slow, browsing is slow, booting takes minutes.
With this experience, I have no rush to update my Samsung tablets to Lollipop
Samsung should think about why their sales are going down... l hope this powerful device will get Lolipop but if not I think Samsung will loose aanother buyeri...
Poslano s tableta (tapatalk)
I guess I'm the only one still happy with my Note 10.1 2k14 edition. I'm running a custom ROM. I use the handwriting and s-pen functions quite a lot and don't imagine that I would be happy without those functions. My tablet still functions fine and is nice and responsive (not as fast as my Note 4, but also not as new). I'm really in no hurry for Lollipop on my device. KitKat runs fast and is stable for me.
It's time for Samsung to wake up. This is a modern world. We pay premiums prices for top-rated Samsung phones and tablets, and expect regular updates. We dont need to beg for the updates. The computing world changes rapidly, and samsung should follow suit. It's becoming clearer that Samsung cannot keep up with Google releasing free updates to free android softwares. It's becoming clearer that Samsung Tizen software will eventually be a useless OS.
Just out of curiosity . . Why is getting lollipop so important that people are willing to sell their tablets in shear outrage?
I've got it on my note 3 and in terms of functionality there is very little difference . . .
