Hello,
I am about to buy myself a SG Tab 10.1 . But wondering if to buy the WIFI version or the 3G.
I know that with wireless tethering and a rooted android phone I can just connect my WIFI Tab aswell.
But beside that I saw that there were custom roms around but many are for "wifi only" .
So is it true that there are almost no custom roms for the 3G version???

Yeah most of us grabbed them when they first came out in July or @ Google I/O, so we only had the wifi edition to choose from.
The 3G version will probably pick up in a couple of months, but I'm thinking the LTE version is the one that will take off, since everyone wants faster interwebs
Alright. Thanks for your answer.
I do hope more will come out for the 3g. I am in Europe so the 4G won't do me any good for the moment.
So now I am doubting what to buy

Hello,
I know its been asked a number of times. But I am based in the UK. I am now looking at the 7" HTC Flyer WiFi 16Gb as I am mainly at home with WiFi or at University which is also saturated with WiFi. When ever not in range of a WiFi I will tether to my Motorola for 3G.
Hence I can't justify the price of a 3G unit.
Based on above does it make sense just to get the WiFi model, again cost wise I can only go to the wifi model.
Thanks
if your budget for only wifi then just wifi
3G version is great since its kinda cell phone replacement
I have the option of getting a 10.1 3g version and looking around the forum it seems most roms are cooked for non 3g devices.I dont plan to get a new data plan so dont need the 3g basically. so here is my Q:
will flashing a non 3G rom only disable the 3G capabilites (yet wifi works) or will it not function at all (the whole device)?!
I appreciate any help.
If you read the dev forums, you'd see that yes, in fact, wifi ROMs disable 3g but otherwise work on 3g devices.
hoping to bag Flyer by the weekend
I see they are getting HoneyComb now
But HTC is not saying if they are getting ICS
from a flashing point to ICS when a custom ROM is cooked, how much harder would the 3G UK version be vs a plain WiFi version?

none harder...i have a 32GB WWE, which is what i assume a "3G UK version" would be, and from what i can tell around the boards most complaints come from the US variants, the View and WiFi only version
also, i had a wifi only tablet (the transformer) and i thought i was being really smart to use my phone's 3G data as a wifi hotspot, but that is such a massive battery drain it made both devices useless to me
if you can afford the 3G/sim card version, get it
My sister is getting ready to get her very first smarphone. She looked at several and the one she wanted that fit her budget was the S II. I know it is LTE but is HSPA+. Since I recently switched from Sprint to and ATT LTE device I am not familar with HSPA at all. Are the data speeds decent? She probably won't root this either so I was wondering how it is out of the box for a new user. Also any known issues to be aware of?
Dont worry she's probably not using the phone to run a server or to stream HD content so she'll be more than fine with the speed provided. Those speeds exceed the needs of twitter, fb, yt, navigation or any other use your sister will be giving to her phone.
Cheers

I would add there are 2 different AT&T Galaxy S2 one being i777 and the other is i727 (Skyrocket LTE) I would recommend the sgh-1777 but other people will tell you different....when you said " I know it is LTE but is HSPA+" did you mean NOT LTE? With LTE will be i727....GL
EDIT: There are some issues with the ICS update in the kernel here is a link with some info you can read just make sure before she does any updates do some research...

did you check the network mode (GSM / WCDMA) settings?
yes that's already checked
So...with only WCDMA you get no network right?
I guess you could flash another Modem, can't hurt.
