Yikes! Just got my brand New Galaxy Tab last Tuesday and now I've been informed that there is a Note 10.1 around the corner.
The "only" difference I've seen so far is that it will pack a 1.4 processor, stock ICS, and external sd card slot.
Since I got this one in Costco is returnable. However, I think the Note will start @ $500 (maybe more...)
I dunno... You guys think is worth the wait?
It's just that I have a SGS2 and is sooo much faster than this Tab. Will flashing a custom ROM to this tab make a difference in speed?
Thank you for taking my question.

I can only say I'm running my 10.1 @ 1.4 and haven't had any issues not caused by myself.

You missed the whole point huh, the pressure sensitive stylus?
Value is a subjective thing though, only you know what you need out of the device. Going with the note will surely mean a longer wait for development of custom ROMs. If the added features make up for that as well as the delay between launch and shipment then go for it.
Me personally i find the idea of the stylus intriguing but then the ram limitation (the 1gb of ram, not sure if this is an Android system restriction at this time but I'm guessing so) is cause for pause for me. We all look at lag critically and i always wonder how additional system ram would improve that. If increasing it on a standard PC improves performance to a degree then surely on a tablet it would as well. Of course that would add additional cost but I'm sure many would spring for premium models with more memory. I bring up this issue because of Samsung partnering with adobe on the inclusion of Photoshop touch with the note. Moving towards marketing tablets for graphic production using the stylus needs to come along with the ability to do it well without the lag and unresponsiveness shown in the demos. Surely there are driver optimizations that can help yes but anyone who uses Photoshop regularly to do production knows that ram is hugely important.
Baby steps though, the note is certainly a welcome addition to the tablet arena. If an LTE one comes out in the next year is certainly consider it.

What did you oc'd with? I have setcpu and it will only go up to 1.0.

Need to flash Pershoots latest kernel. His droid basement blog would probably be the easiest to find since I don't have a link to his thread here handy.
I'm using setcpu also and had the 1000 limit. Flashing his kernel gave me the1400 option with no other changes needed.

Return it and keep saving to get the galaxy note 10.1. I read a couple weeks back they were holding of release til june to switch out the dual core processor for a quad core processor. I think it would be worth returning any tablet to get the galaxy note 10.1 if this rumor is true.

If this rumor is true I will crap my pants
id wait if i was in your position.. really. return that **** and use your desktop or laptop till it comes out, i wish i would have.
It has been upgraded to quad core 1.2 ghz so return your tab and get the note 10.1

Hi guys,
I have a weird question i was thinking about how it will be awesome to see Windows 8 on GALAXY Tab 10.1 so is there a way to use Windows 7 or 8 on GALAXY Tab 10.1 P7500 or evem iOS.
Thanks.

Definitely not ios apple would never allow that in a million years dont know about windows but I think the tegra 2 chip would pose problems

The on the iOS i agree 100%,but i really think the Windows 8 Tablet version would be good on the GALAXY Tab cause so far there isn't an Quad Core Windows 8 tablets anouncments so i think it would run smoothly on the Tegra 2 Processor specially cause it runs VERY SMOOTHLY on android.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
the likely hood of a dev spending time to port over win8 is very unlikely everyone is all about ICS and making that play well with our tab.
Out of the 3:
Samsung galaxy ace
HTC desire C
Huawei ascend g300
Which one is the most fast and fluid and the most "future proof". Not in terms of software updates but in terms of which one would work just as fast in the future?
Thanks

I guess you should compare the phone specs, as mentioned out of 3 by visiting here : www.gsmarena.com
The Huawei has the best specs, but I'm interested in how they perform

It has got 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Adreno 200 GPU and 512MB RAM, so the H/W seems legit. But its still stuck with Android 2.3. You may even want to check if there is active development going on here at xda for customizations or ROM upgrading.
EDIT: If you're interested you may look the features of Galaxy Ace 2 I8160, it looks pretty cool too and slightly more features than Huawei and cash difference maybe not that high too.
Well the Galaxy Ace has by far the best battery life and Samsung phones always have the best Rom customisation scene so you can always keep your OS looking fresh.

If it gets ICS, then Huawei is a :good: from me.
But don't consider going for Ace now. Not that I'm saying its a bad phone, but its hardware is outdated and no enough RAM. Rather considering Ace 2 or Ace Plus will be good.
Now I've completely changed my mind after looking at some monthly contracts. Don't think the Huawei is an option anymore. It's between these:
HTC one V
Sony arc s
Sony Xperia U
Anyone offer any guidance on which to go for or even go for another?

- Every Phone coming with minimum 1GHz Clock speed (Arc S = 1.4)
- Only Xperia U has secondary camera (video call) but don't have SD card slot, it means you only have 8GB of internal memory, out of which 4GB is only usable.
- All coming with 512MB RAM.
Anyways HTC One V is the latest out of three with default OS as ICS. Other Sony phones should get an ICS update. And rest, the decision is upto you for which model you should go for. If you don't consider about Secondary cam, then One V is a done deal, and also performance wise it should be fair good as the hardware is updated to 2012 (Bluetooth is v4.0).
Good Luck!
Basically, they're all good, right?
Would the extra 400MHz of the arc S make a huge difference? Or the dual core of the Xperia U?
Also (slightly off topic), would a dual core processor, clocked at 1GHz be superior to a single core processor clocked a 1.6GHz? What are the benefits of more processors?

If you're gonna buy a new device, I would not recommend to buy the models that have been released one year old or so. Maybe its personal choice, but I feel that way.
That extra 400MHz may make a difference if you tend to overclock the processor to run the games fine without lag or so. I'm not sure anyways. But you told you're only interested to keep it as Stock and not interested in modding or flashing custom ROMs. Anyways I guess 1GHz is fair enough as every phone nowadays is coming with that clock speed, so its likely that Games should support.
If my knowledge is true (it could be wrong too, lol) I guess a dual-core processor performs more than a single-core even if the single-core is clocked at 1.6GHz or so. You should seek some more advice about this, because I'm not sure about what I said. But seriously, you want to go for Xperia U? It doesn't have SD card slot, all you have is 4GB of usable internal memory for apps/games. If you're a type of person that installs almost everything from Play Store, it doesn't have enough room for it to fit within 4GB memory. Otherwise, its fair!
HTC One V

I know, but the phone isn't for me. Its for someone who's going to use it for basic needs, I.e. calling and texting. I just want the phone to work smoothly and fluidly without much lag. I know they're all good, but which would be the best option?

Dear All;
I know that this questions was asked by everybody, and the answer is very complicated, but here I'll ask a specific question regarding the specifications.
here I'm evaluating the hardware, but not the design, weight and dimensions.
After my advanced search I found that Samsung GT-N7100 Galaxy Note II 64GB has the top level specifications that android smartphones could have up-to-date.
Regarding the following:
CPU: Samsung Exynos 4412 (1.6GHz)
RAM: 2GiB
ROM: 59.6 GiB
Display: color Super AM-OLED (5.5") (720 x 1280)
Camera: 8MP with AutoFocus & LED Flash, 1.9MP front Camera
Expansion Slots: microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash, microSDXC
Battery Capacity: 3100 mAh
Wireless-LAN: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n
Analog+Radio:Receiver: FM radio (87.5-108MHz) with RDS
My question is, Is it really the best specifications?, Did I miss important specifications that I should take it in my consideration?

If you consider that the note is a "phone", then, yes, it has the best hardware. Htc one x+ comes right after it.

yea...my username sucks...deal with it...
Your not missing anything but it has the same CPU as the S3 and more RAM. You're not going to notice a difference really unless your multi tasking a lot. You may want to wait for the next nexus phone though to see what it has to offer. The best hardware doesn't necessarily provide the best user experience. Also if you plan on playing Tegra games then the best hardware would probably be a phone with a Tetra 3 as some features are only available in those. Basically overall yes the Note II is the beast.
Thanks for your replies
But 1 more question, the problem I counter with all samsung ROMs that it should have main frameware and then to flash the custom rom over, but the story is completely difference with HTC, that the custom ROM is standalone ROM. Am I right?
Because, I bought my HTC Desire HD 2 yrs before & it was that days best HTC products for android, and after 2 years, it still performing good. But, it's the time form renew. really, my plan is HTC, but the note 2 specifications, try changing my mind.
Advice plz.

I'm sorry but I'm fairly new to flashing ROMs etc. I have had no trouble doing so with the excellent tools available here. I'm insure exactly what your question is but I'm running SuperNexus ROM on my S3 and it was pretty easy to get there. You have to wipe before putting the ROM on... not just flash it over it I think. As far as I know the ROMs are standalone...
HTC are OK but I think they have too much bloat. I had original desire which I loved but I find their newest phones to be full of useless software.
I seriously doubt you will be disappointed by a Note II, but be careful the phablet form factor is far larger than the HTC Desire HD.

Its not necessary to take phone with Tegra GPU cause there is a Chainfire 3D. I think that Sammy SIII has the best hardware specifications so far.
