A new screen design was introduced for the 10.1 in October. It's also being used for all repairs. I don't know about the 8.9 but based on the time of its release I'd say it's probably using a different design then the original 10.1 also.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Samsung galaxy tab 7 vs Htc Flyer

hi
i'm planing to buy one of those...galaxy tab 7 or HTC flyer...
wts ur idea?which one is better?
thanks
SG TAB 7 has working ICS already wheil Flyer well we all know how it is...
Hardware wise... do the math...
I wouldnt change Flyer for Tab regardles OS.
Neither. Get a Nexus 7, unless you have to have an SD slot. The Tab is a good value for the money, but the nexus 7 makes it look like a ripoff lol.
But if your wanting best bang for the buck with an SD, and a rear camera, than yeah get the Gtab2
EDIT: Wait what tab are you talking about? Samsung has 3 7 inch tabs. The orignal Galaxy Tab, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, and the new Galaxy tab 2 7.0. Because if you're talking the original Gtab, than the Flyer is worlds ahead of that oversized Galaxy S1 phone.

Only works with stock ROMs . Will not work with CM based or AOSP
Ive been reading many posts about the HDMI adaptor not working... I just downloaded Samsungs Samsung care app and according to the tv out section my G Tab 2 10.1 p5110 does not support it... maybe if somebody tried the same app on a device which has been successful in using the adaptor and see what it says on that device.
Also these tabs are bril... I saved over 100 £ on the device just costing me about 180 £. Bargin!

just got this adapter today. As previously thought, it does not work on CM10 but what's weird is that my wife has the original Tab 10.1 and it works on her's running CM10.
Anyway, I'm going to reflash my Tab with another ROM to test it out.

Video out does not work on any CM based ROM

That's what I'm saying. Our Tab running CM10 plays video and audio perfect. There must be some modification in that rom to make it work. Oh well, at least one of our tablets works

HDMI out on a CM based ROM never happened, can't happen, it doesn't contain the drivers to make the hardware work.
If you are talking about playing video on the tablet screen, you are in the wrong thread, This is about HDMI

Where did you get this info? It's not detailed enough because there are 3 different models numbers for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1” and only GT-P5113 model supports HDMI output. Adapter is useless for GT-P5100 and GT-P5110 users.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDTV only works for the GT-P5113 and not the GT-P5100 or GT-P5110

Correct, the P5100 does not have video out so this will not work.
See this page for compatible tablets

I bought this adapter yesterday. However, it does not work on my 5100..
waste of money...

Well......... several post here point out that only the P5113 has video out and so does Samsung's accessory page. So.......................hoping just won't make it so...
So does it work or not???? The EPL-3PHPBEGSTA HDMI adaptor for the P5113 tab??
On the stock Samsung ROM, you have to attach a power cord to the adapter as well in order to get video - P5113

Cover with included keyboard like the Nexus 9?

As per title does anybody know if there's already something similar for the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1?
I mean something slim so no docking station or other bulky stuff.

I'd like to know this for the 8.4
This, along with a light amount of dev support and Samsung virtually abandoning the 8.4, is why I am heavily considering getting the Nexus 9 with my tax refund. Tab Pro 8.4 is nice, but I want to rid myself of Samsung after this.
