[Q] Do we need a seperate sub-forum for the 10.1v - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

I think we need a seperate forum for the 10.1v to avoid confusion.
What do you think?

I feel that will be a great help. The devices are different enough.

I would say YES, but only if 10.1 (new) comes with Exynos inside. If not it will be the same device just with different i/o ports.
Let's wait and see.

Fair enough. I think at the least, this forum should be renamed to 10.1v until further information is available.
It's also likely to get flooded with chatter about ordering, shipping etc getting closer to the 10.1 (no V) release date.

I think so..... I've seen tons of new people in this forum, flooding it with questions about the 10.1V. It's slightly annoying.

Point taken but I don't think you can blame people for posting about one version or the other. Until each version has it's own forum, this will be treated as a 'general' 10.1 forum and there is bound to be confusion / frustration.

But if the only major difference between the 2 will be thickness there is no need for 2 forums. Is there?

Nobody knows what's inside the 10.1. I doubt whether they will be similar enough to share ROMs.
The problem is that the 10.1v will be out next week and in the absence of a dedicated 'v' forum, this one is likely to get hijacked.

Well... 10.1v can be created.
If both tablets will run Tegra 2 they can always be merged...

It already appears there will be many more differences than just thickness. Though I guess devices like the Magic (Sapphire) with the 32a and 32b versions were kept in the same forum. Also seems like the two versions may share accessories as well, so that further confuses things.
I can't imagine they will share the same cases though.
There really does seem to be a lot of confusion and threads getting hijacked right now (take a look at Galaxy Tab 10.1v 32GB thread to see how far off topic it can get and how much confusion there is).
Fun times

So far non of which influences software. For me, major difference is SOC which at this point is not verified.
But if both devices will be a Tagra2 tablet than all the same applies to both of them - software and "tricks" wise.

Yes indeed!
svetius created us a seperate sub-forum for ROM development. That should be sufficient, at least for now since its the only forum where it REALLY matters. If you're creating new threads, its probably worth putting 10.1v or 10.1 in the thread title. Mind you, the latter might still attract posts about 10.1v as it is more generic

Galaxy S Gingerbread rolling out in Europe

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/16/galaxy-s-gingerbread-update-now-rolling-out-across-europe/
Looks like the i9000 is actually getting that 2.3 update. Maybe some other SGS models will start seeing it, I'd say everyone but us will get a glimpse.
Wrong section.
But yeah, at least the gs family looks like it will all get gingerbread.
Usually if its pertaining to Froyo/GB people don't mind seeing it in here. Hell, most people only view this subforum of the Fascinate and not general or any others. But you're right.
I feel like the Epic and Vibrant will get it in a few months, and then 25 years later Captivate, Mesmerize, Fascinate.

I have my bookmark set to the main page, so I can decide which board I want to look at, and I frequently visit the general board.

I don't see how it'd be ironic if Samsung is first.
Google worked with them to release Gingerbread on some hardware that was only slightly different from the rest of their phones... They had an experience, resource, and time advantage over every other carrier... and yet they failed.
That's ironic. Samsung had every advantage, and yet couldn't even freaking get Gingerbread out on their flagship product before someone else. Seems like more motivation to me to avoid any future Samsung products.
And yeah, where to post things seems pretty obvious to me: Any discussion thread, where we're just talking about various random things go in General, questions go in Q&A, and actual releases (or things closely related to development... random questions about a ROM wouldn't warrant a new thread) go in Development. Posting things in the wrong section just to get more eyes seems fairly silly to me... if people aren't reading General, it's probably because they aren't interested in those things, probably only wanting actual ROMs/kernels/etc. Then again, making any comment on this topic seems to be a good way to get people to just flame you.

Honey Comb 3.2 coming to Xoom in a few days?

I was so happy that I finally got my 3.1 update last week for my iconia but 3.2 is ready to come out in a few days... Hopefully we will get this update sooner this time.

From what I read online 3.2 is suppose to be a version optimized for 7 inch tablets and the Icecream Sandwich 4.0 will be release in the 4th quarter of the the year for all tablets.
Nevermind... it will be ported for sure. Heheh
Based on Acers history, do you think there is much of a chance we will even officially see a android 4 (ICS) release for the A500?

Bet you fifty bucks we get it from the devs here LONG before we get it from Acer.
Google have said that ICS will be open-source, so that's the point where you'll start seeing some real innovation in tablet ROMs. At the moment the custom ROMs are nice, but it's largely tinkering around the edges + new kernels. ICS will change that.
So I wouldn't worry too much about Acer bringing it to the A500 - someone will, and it'll be better than Acer would have done it.
Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.
Besides, just wondering why are you posting XOOM news in Acer A500 forum ?

You get those types on any forums, not just this one. Support forums tend to be worse because there is a lot of the same questions being asked over and over and it tends to build up animosity and resentment among the people who've been around for a while. There is really nothing you can do except add a disclaimer with every post, explaining how you've exhausted every other option prior to posting. There will always be the crowd that feels posting on a support forum should be a last resort, to be used only after every other resource has been drawn upon. I've seen that iron-fisted approach turn some boards into vacant wastelands. In comparison, it's really not that bad here...for now.
Back on topic: I think the original poster was posting a seemingly Xoom topic on an A500 board because there a lot of A500 owners still wondering if they made the right purchase and look to compare the two. I speak as an A500 owner when I say that if a new patch comes out, and the Xoom gets it first, I damn well want to know about it.
Cheers,

Thank Goodness For Polls

Polls here show that the vast majority of owners do not find the Note faulty. However, there are threads here which seem in denial of these polls and are still claiming that the Note is faulty. Thank goodness for the polls so that we know that these faulty claims are not supported by the vast majority of owners.

"So what you are saying that those who had issues with the notes and had it replaced are making it up ?"
Of course not. All I am saying is that the evidence from polls here does not support the claims that all Notes are faulty.
EarlZ said:

Yes, because when there are threads claiming that all Notes are faulty then it is only fair to the Note to point out that polls here suggest otherwise.
Can you link us to the claims that all the notes are faulty, im wondering my self.
I dont see how that poll can change the fact that i got 3 notes in the row, all with 2+ dead pixels
10% faulty rate from that poll is not high?
Plus, how accurate do you think a simple poll can show? I mean, instead of voting 3 times for my 3 faulty phones...i can only vote once!!
My believe is...if you are lucky enoug to get a perfect phone...please be kinder to us unlucky ones who REALLY had a stressful times with this problem, and stop starting new threads like this to try and make us feel worse. Please try and put yourselves in our shoes

There are many ways of claiming something is faulty without saying it explicitly such as thread titles like "WI-FI Issues", "Screen Issues" etc which are easily spotted.

Come on...have we all lost the simple human quality of TRUST in this society now?!!
You have a point. People post gripes. Going by that alone, it would discourage anyone. The polls give a better picture.
You also might want to post a "Who has a fault free Note" thread.

I saw a ton of reviews and everyone loved their units. I came to the forum and I saw tons of complaints. I didn't think it was right. I started the poll to see of everyone hated their device.
You guys might be getting all the duds from a single batch from a single seller or single batch directly from Samsung. I feel and see now that most people don't have any issues which is the most logical thing. But this forum only had negative posts.
I think the poll helped me decide to buy the phone. while all the other threads discouraged me from it. That's not normal. So I took the plunge.

Thanks to your poll we know the vast majority of owners are not experiencing the faults suggested by the loads of complaints on this forum. It won't stop loads more complaints but at least owners and prospective buyers now know that the complaints do not represent the experience of the vast majority of owners.
Thread closed
Forums generally attract people who are looking for solutions to problems they are experiencing. That is why you see a higher number of complaints. Arguing with people who have had issues is extremely counterproductive and only leads to contention. Ignore the poster who don't post according to your own desires.

The Specifications of this device are listed as coming on android 4.3 on stock. I do not believe this information is correct. Also it says 64 gigabytes of ROM (Read-Only Memory). I do not believe that this information is correct either. Please update the specifications to reflect the actual specifications of this device. Thank you.
The mods are either ignorant, or downright lazy. Still no kfsowi section, and the specs are incorrect.

Just let it be. There is definitely a 64Gb version & it's really part 4.2.2 with a little 4.3 thrown in. Close enough. As a former mod, I used to get 100's of pm's & reports some days. Just take a look at the flame wars in all the popular device forums & you'll get an idea for where a typo or two sits on the to do list. Mods are not paid & most mods that are really active, are the globals, like I was, so they are dealing with a dozen or more devices at any given time. Cut 'em some slack.
But we should at least have a section for the kfsowi.

Yes. Though I do believe the KFSOWI is the newer iteration of the Fire HD. New hardware internals, though similar in many aspects to the earlier HD, yet maybe different enough to warrant a forum of it's own. On that point I am unsure, being as I do not have one.
It has an omap 4470. the original fire he has an earlier processor. It actually has the same specs as the 2012 8.9 HD, just a smaller screen, and newer software.
