Hi, I have a question regarding the ability to use Nook Tablet not in the USA. I live in Poland, but I'd like to get the Nook Tablet. If I buy it in the USA and get it to Europe will I still be able to use it - I mean root and get the ICS working?
Yes it works, I'm using here in Brazil, I don't see why wouldn't work
Yep, plenty people use their NTs in different countries.
You'll be fine with rooting and using all Android apps that are available in Europe. The only limitation will be that you can't use the B&N store, which really isn't a loss.
Well I use a vpn to go b&n market.

I have a 16gb wifi tab from South Korea. Do the same rooting/flashing methods apply that are currently available to American tabs.
If no one can say, is there a way I can check so I can offer this information to others who will be purchasing the tabs over here?
Thanks!
It should be the same, root still revolves around SU and Busybox.
The only thing I would worry about is a locked bootloader, if you have to flash it with the North America one, it might not work.

Hey shanmc, on your Korean version of the TAB do you have the reader's hub with kyobo, yes24 and other Korean bookstores linked to it? I'm hoping the US version comes with those or an option for them since I'd like to purchase books from those stores.... I have the 16GB wifi US version. Enjoy your new tab!

i too would like to know this
as i will be in skorea in about 3 weeks i would like to know if it is worth while to buy a galaxy tab 10.1 with wifi (and probably UMTS as well).
is there already a known opportunity to root and flash the galaxy tab 10.1 to an european version of android or a kind of stock rom without any korean widgets or korean specific customizations?
cheerz
All wifi versions should root using this process. It is the verizon lte tabs that are buggy.
If any mods are around, I sure need some help on the LTE 4g version tablet and how to root the thing. The instructions appear to be the same across the net but, the verizon tabs go black after booting back up and trying to get into recovery??

Hi everyone. I am desperately trying to find the answer to this question and I am running out of time. I am presently on holiday in the U.S. and I have calculated that i can buy a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus in the U.S. for the equivalent of around £ 280.00. That is a huge saving on the U.K. Price. However I want to make sure that the Tab will be compatible with the U.K. Google Market first. I just want to make sure that as the device will be software registered as a U.S. device it will allow me to use the U.K. Market. Or is there a work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you get back to England you may just have to do a factory reset but not likely it should be fine for a sure answer would be best to ask in the device forum
Thank you for the prompt response. I will ask in the appropriate forum as you suggest.
I would check with Samsung UK. Send them an e-mail.
I have an HTC Desire HD on Orange UK. In the market I have only ever seen apps & books. I have never seen movies or music listed. I have, until now, assumed that these were probably only available in certain countries because of licensing agreements.
However, upon arriving at work this morning I was discussing the rebranding to Google Play with a colleague, only to find out that they have, and have done for a while, a section in their Market/Play Store for movies. They have an HTC Desire S on T Mobile UK.
Why would I not have movies available via my market? I'm guessing that it wouldn't be handset compatibility, so would it be that Orange are blocking this for some reason? Who else, in the uk, has the movies option, and who doesn't? What is the common ground between each group?
They do not have music as a Market section, so I guess that I was right about this, and it is not available to the UK at all?
Thanks,
SilentBob
Only available in USA right now

But my colleague has a stock T-Mobile UK Desire S, and he has access to movies. He says he has for quite some time.
I always tend to use Market on device. However, just had a look at it on web, signed into my account and lo & behold movies are offered as available in the UK with UK prices. However, when I go to the Google Play Movies app it says "This app is incompatible with your DesireHD".
I will have to get my colleague to look at the app under his account and see what it says about compatibility with the Desire S. Not that I can see why the Desire S would be compatible if the DHD isn't? Unless, like I said, it is down to the network?
Edit:
Got my colleague to look at the Google Play Movies app in his desktop browser, and it shows as compatible with his HTC Desire S (T-Mobile UK), but as not compatible with his Orange San Francisco. Does this perhaps confirm that Movies are being blocked by Orange UK?
To any UK Desire HD users - Can you access Movies via the Market? Which network are you on? Network branded device?
To any Orange UK customers - Can you access Movies via the Market? Which device do you use? Network branded device?
I've been trying to understand this too.
I have an unbranded Desire HD from Carphone Warehouse on T-mobile and no Movies option
My wife has a t-mobile branded Desire S also on T-mobile and has Movies option.
Both phones are running 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 and both have market version 3.4.7
Seems to me that the market doesn't think the Desire HD is movies capable. Strange when I can stream a ripped DVD from my phone to my TV over wifi with barely any noticeable loss of quality.
So I know that it won't be released on July 30th like the Wi-Fi only model, but I am curious as to how to actually obtain the 4G/3G/whatever service. I know you buy the device from the Google Play Store, but does it come with a SIM card that you just go to T-Mobile or VZW or AT&T website to activate? How does that process actually work?
I've owned many tablets, but they are all Wi-Fi only. This will be my first tablet with Data.
While I'm here, my main use of this is for mostly media(ie Google Play Music, YouTube, Pandora, etc) but also Navigation via Google Maps, is it a good device for Navigation in the car? Do you recommend a certain dock/mount for the car?
I know it's a lot to ask, but I very much appreciate any information you have
When you purchase a tab, it doesn't include a SIM card, you need to purchase one from a dealer (of your favorite carrier).
Any dock for car should be fine (provided that it supports 7'' tabs), of course, there are specially-designed docks for the Nexus 7, but again, any of them should work.
So who would you recommend for that? VZW? AT&T? Or T-Mobile?
I have VZW now but they are expensive.

Hi,
I am currently looking for a tablet for my cousin who is in india. I am looking for a android tablet that has 3g/lte capability. He would want to install an insurance app on there as well. What do you guys recommend? 16GB or 32GB is fine as well, he doesnt need alot of space. Please let me know what your guys recommendation is.
