hello I just take my tab 10.1 from bulgarian mobile operator mtel' but this version is without the touchwizz... how to install it?
I'm currently reading a lot about the Galaxy Tab 10.1 / 8.9, since I want to get a tablet. I don't have the link anymore, but I read somewhere, that the 10.1 (the new, slim version) is supposed to get the TouchWiz UX / 4.0 whatever you want to call it in an upcoming update, but that might of course not be 100% true.
Do you have the 10.1v or already the new 10.1 (the slimmer one). If it is the slimmer on, can you select English as a locale? Is it possible to get the 10.1 of contract in Bulgaria and how much would it cost? I'm asking because I have relatives in Bulgaria and if it is a lot cheaper I would get it there.
Also, besides the quick settings toggle in the notification area, I'd rather prefer the stock Honeycomb UI. Also it would be kick-ass if the Galaxy Tab (except the Google IO limited edition) could get all the Updates directly (and therefore timely) from Google. Then I would buy one right away!
Hey all,
I am considering purchasing the Samsung P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plus Android 3.2 WCDMA Tablet Phone w/7.7" Capacitive - Grey (16GB) to use as my primary cell device. I would be getting the European model, so whether or not I could use it for calls is not an issue. However, I am a bit concerned that carrying around such a bulky device and a bluetooth headset to boot would be a bit much. So the question is: Should I use it for calls? Has anyone tried this before? Does anyone who uses one of these on a regular basis have anything to say about its bulk?
Thanks!

Please post your questions in the right forum, you'll get the response you need. This forum is the Galaxy Tab 10.1, has nothing to do with the 7.
it can be as a phone, but it may be a little big. Sometimes it's not convenient.
*Chokes* $655?
*Wipes eyes* I hope I'm reading that incorrectly.

The speed of this tablet is amazing, I have yet to find any lag, I seen some people complain about Samsungs touchwiz as being slow and buggy, I found that out on my Galaxy S4G, but that is not a problem as I use Go Launcher Ex, a free launcher on the Android Market, and by far IMO the best launcher there is, so do not let touch which stop you from getting this tab.
Hello guys
I want to buy the tab 4 t230 mainly for reading pdf files
is it a good tablet and how about its performance ? I don't want it to be all laggy
thanks for your help
I don't know about the 230, but I have the 330 model and reading PDF files, and any other sort of document is a overall good experience for me. One could make the argument that bigger is better, but for me having the 8" model in horizontal or even vertical layout has worked quite well when it came to looking at notes, editing documents or even reading textbooks for college lectures/classes. I haven't noticed any lag when it came to just looking at a file, only when it came to running graphics intensive games.
(Quick summary) I use the 8" tablet daily and love it. recently, I purchased two textbooks from the play store and reading them and other PDF files work perfectly. :good:
-still it's always good to browse around.
Update: Before I made the purchase on the 8" model I read around that if you have a little bit extra it was a good idea to buy the 8" model over the 7" cause of the different processors inside. So it's all about how much you're willing to spend.

Edit. I would not buy the 7...
I bought the 8 and the below is for the 8...sorry. I forgot to mention that.
The tab in itself is decent, but with samsung pushy BS Apps the tab is slower...
However, should you buy the tab >> Root device with Towel root >> Freeze / uninstall all bloatware >> Install nova launcher >> Disable animations system wide >> Move larger apps to SD >> Presto = You've got a good tab!
Samsung software is not needed whatsoever. You can get a huge performance advantage by removing bloatwares and providing near android stock performance with nova launcher and animations disabled.
srsly no, i am still unable to root it, for the same price i would suggest a nexus 7
I rooted it out of the box a night or two ago. Just got it.
Same here, root capabilities were available a few weeks to a month after it was available for purchase back in june. I bought my tablet back in May when it first came out. However, I would still agree that a nexus 7 would be a good purchase if you just want to use a tablet for reading PDFs. Actually the Nexus 7 2013 edition is on sale for $159 on Ebay. The Nexus is still Googles current-gen device as of now and has many accessories and what not available, while it took months before I could even buy a cheap case for this tablet ( Better cases and accessories are out now, just not a plethora made specifically for the Tab4).

What is your device model? My tab is the 8 inch one. The 8 and 10 have similar specs and processor whereas the 7" tab has a marvel based processor and thus is different methodology to root.
Also, Yes I did update to latest firmware on my tab. Opened the box, ran updates, and rooted all about 3 days ago.

thx for replying, mine is the 7 inch SM-T230, guess i will wait awhile
I do too know if I am speaking out of place, but can you return it and get the 8? Fr9. What is love ready Modders are having issues with the 7. The 8 and 10 are where it's at. I believe the 7 will always be sluggish.

yeah its a gift from the telephone company, if i get to pick i prolly will go with the 10 inch one, or the new sony z3tc
Ah, you might be out of luck until they can find a better root method for the marvel processor in your model..
Thiugh, reportedly if you go to the towel root thread it has worked for 7 inch users.
Hi All,
I am trying to look for the Tab 4, 7.0" in 16GB.... does this exist? Because if so, I am having trouble trying to find it... All I can find is either the 7.0" in 8gb.... or I can find the 8.0" in 16gb....
So if there is a Tab 4, 7.0" with 16GB storage, what is the model number for it please?? like T230... ?
Also, does the Tab 4 Tablets feature the Knox security?? And if so, is it permanent, like the newer devices... Or can it be reset with Triangle Away, like the older devices (ie: my phones, i9100 and N7000).
Any help gratefully received.
Basically mum wants to treat my dad to a Tablet, but for under/around £100. I am basically trying to find one that is very customizable and has a great community of ROMs and is safe from things like Knox. Is the Tab 4 my best option, or are there any other budget Tablets out there... with a large community of ROMs and safe for flashing...
Many thanks, Lister
Hello, I recently bought a Samsung tab s8 Ultra and also got a watch 4. Only I am actually ios user....
But unfortunately I have the problem that I can not connect this watch 4 with my tablet or phone.
But I had read in the samsung forums a post that there is probably an "apk" of wearble should give that I can connect my watch 4 with the tablet.
I hope you can help me further
