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?

Samsung GT-N8010 Emerges, Could Be Galaxy Note 2
- Samsung GT-N8010
South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics is reportedly gearing up for the release of a new flavor of its Galaxy Note device, one that has just been spotted with model number GT-N8010.
The new device was seen over at the WiFi Alliance, where it received the necessary approvals with support for EEE 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity capabilities.
However, beside the fact that it sports a model number pointing in this direction, there is no other proof that this might indeed be the successor of Galaxy Note, which was made official in September this year, during the IFA show in Berlin.
Moreover, there is also the possibility that this would be a different flavor of the already available handset, since Samsung has yet to launch it in some new markets around the world, such as the United States.
One way or the other, next year's CES or MWC shows might shed some light on this.

I picked up a tab 3 today, just wondering if its been rooted yet, anybody know?
COngrats on your tab 3 but you are in the wrong section. This is TAB 2 sections.

I know but there is no Tab 3 section
Just curious. I saw that they recently released the Tab 3. What does it have over the Tab 2 besides a home button? Specs seem almost the same.
The main differences between the two are the processor 1.2Ghz and the 1.3 megapixel camera. It also has a nice alluminum bezel, micro usb port and the home button. Other than that not much difference.
Sent from my SM-T210R using XDA Premium HD app
yep, they dropped the funky charger, micro usb port like you said and the entire body is less wide--my screen protector from the tab 2 hangs off on both sides.
looking forward to a new section!!
Tab 3 7.0 rootable yet?
Do people able to root the device yet? Can we use the same method as the tab 2 7 ? Will it brick or anything?
Unless you see a specific root instruction for your device, do not try anything.
No matter how similar tab2 and tab3 are, they are different devices. Just wait for the new section for your device to be created.
Stop bringing your questions here, cuz we can't answer them. We all have tab2. How would we know?
There are probably dedicated threads for nexus 7.2 but nothing for our tab 3 yet. My 8 will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to root and debloat.

Im curious. Those of you who purchased the Tab3 7 inch. Are you upgrading from another 7 inch tab? What tab is this one replacing?
I am upgrading from the tab 2 7 inch just because they were out of stock on a return. wish I hadn't the tab 3 is no big difference, the stock rom is bloated and yes, the internet gets dropped when idle for me too.
I got the 8". Replacing a 1st gen Kindle Fire - tired of being restricted to the Amazon App Store etc (and rooting of course takes away the instant video and free kindle book prime benefits) . Also have the Galaxy S Blaze phone and very happy with it which led me to the Tab 3. 8" is a really nice size for use as an e-reader.
On both the Tab 3 and my S Blaze, I had trouble keeping WiFi connection when connected to my N router (I run one G and one N b/c I don't have a dual-band that will maintain the N speed and we still have some G only devices). They stay connected to the G (Linksys) with no problem. Never investigated further as it doesn't make enough difference for me to care. Something to think about.
anyone with x86 10.1?
how it's for gaming? carma, gta, dead space etc?

I have a tab 2 10.1
im looking for a replacement but im torn between
Galaxy tab 3 10.1(hasnt been released in my country yet)
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy Note 8.0
all of them are quite an upgrade from my tab 2 but i dont know, what do you guys think?

Yeah, I just came here to start a poll on this story
IMHO we will get it - I think the original Samsung plan was to release a final 4.4.2 for the Note 3 only AFTER the S5, but the XEO leak might have prompted them to release early (and again IMHO unfinished, but that at least has forced a lot of apps to be updated for 4.4 much earlier, so it will make a much nicer launch for Samsung with the S5).
I hope not. That would hold me back buying the note 3. The New settings...meh

Officially, I don't think we'll get it. Look at the note 2. When the Note 3 released many thought air command would come to the note 2 with the 4.3 update. It turned out not to be so.
Unofficially Air command came to the note 2 before the offiical update arrived.
Which proved the device was more than capable, but Samsung didn't want to jeopardise potential upgraders ,so it wasnt ported.
We'll see though, no one knows for certain. Quite frankly I've been surprised Samsung have shown soo much support for the Note 3 with updates. Hopefully the trend continues.

Note 2 and Note 3 are direct competitors on the same segment of the market which is DEFINED by the SPen (and I would also add here the original Note 8, which has not even got 4.3 but at some point might jump directly on 4.4) - so on all those it is not a surprise that Samsung holds back stuff on the older models in order to sell the newer ones.
However the Note 3 and the S5 are not quite on the same segment.
But in the end you could be right, and Samsung could just slow-down the updates. But they might still need a new set of updates with the new Gear stuff anyway, so we'll probably see more details in 2-3 months.
I hope so. Tired of looking at the same Touchwiz for so long.
I am Aquaman!
i hope they change TW with new one. also i am tired of using the same TW since years.
Ps. as i noticed that galaxy s5 is a bit far from expectations. Personally i got disappointed and happy owned a note 3
note 3 new touchwiz
I do hope they update the note 3 with the new touchwiz please it looks better and refreshing to the users and i think it will be more light than the touchwiz the note 3 has right now hopefully they do update it with the new software s5 has along side with kitkat

I'm just waiting for a tablet to come out which really is high end. .. comparing stuff with the note 3...everything out for me is a bit... meh lol
I hope that Galaxy Note 3 can have the new Galaxy S5 UI, do you think its possible that some user can port the Galaxy S5 ROM to Note 3?

Well, actually after MS came out with phone interface in Win 8, making it totally useless for mouse operated computers, KK breaking third party program usage of SD cards and Google maps update getting rid of traffic menu option, the only option I ever use on daily bases, me think everything is possible LOL. So it should be menu key long press brings multitasking on Note 3, I could go with that.
So what happens with S-finder we get now with long press of menu key?

s4 might get some goodies and that too after 6 months but note 3 might not.
We will as the trend for Sammy to update all its devices to the same icons and some other stuff. But as far a full blown version I don't think so

Note tablet is pretty decent the 10.2 2014 Edition. - it's basically a massive Note 3 without the call functions.
Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy Tab A for Korean markets, with S Pen also mentions the United States and the UK.
Here is the link from Neowin.net
http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-officially-unveils-the-galaxy-tab-a-for-korean-markets-with-s-pen
"Galaxy Tab A" is not a samsung note 10.1
And some of the specs are even worse then the Note 10.1 (2014) specs, e.g. display.
So no, this is not an upgrade.
The title of this thread needs to be changed. This is not an announcement about a Note tablet.

Even though it is not listed as a Note it is still is a note device since it includes and SPen. It is just semantics.
No, it's not a Note device. It's a tablet with an pen. Would a iPhone with a SPen a Note device? It's called the Galaxy Tab A for a reason. The reason being it's a Galaxy Tab A. Not a Note.

Yes, it could have been semantics if this tablet had specifications that were an improvement over the Note 10.1 2014. They are not. The device resolution is lower than that of the Note 10.1 2014.
However, it is true that Samsung has released a tablet that Samsung regards as the continuation of the Note 10.1 series. Unfortunately for those who like Android, these tablets are powered by Windows 10.
No semantics at all, a Tab A device is not a Note. This Tab A device is a continuation of the Tab A 9.7 with S-Pen, not a follow up to the Note line.
