Opinions needed please - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok first off i hate these questions but i can get a brand new sealed 10.1 wifi/3G 16GB for £249 i know the galaxy tab 2 is out etc but is buying the 10.1 for that price over other tablets still worth it?

I think it's a fair price if you want a 10 inch screen and if you put cyanogenmod on it.

Thanks jay for taking the time to answer

Thinking about getting one...

What's your honest opinion of this phone? Should I wait for something coming up? Also looking at LG Nitro HD... Thoughts?

Its a good all rounded fone. Its up to you does it fit your needs?
Which ever fone you do get will be surpassed by something better why keep up with the Jones..
I say go into a store and try out the handsets you have in mind and go from there...
As of now, buy one. By April or so, I'd say wait for the SGS3

The only con I've seen so far with this phone is that it doesn't have gorilla glass. Anything else? I see some good devs.

I'm pretty sure it does have gorilla glass.

I think it is advertised as having gorilla glass. It is sturdy that's for sure. You can check some youtube videos on sgs2 drop tests.
After more than half a year in the market, I don't think there is any phone that can match the SGS2 and with a healthy modding community, it really is the phone to get if you are looking for one now.

Judging from the signature, I believe you got the S2 Sky Rocket, not the international Galaxy S2

[Q] What 7" tablet to get?

Needs:
GPS
Custom roms
Android 4
7" screen.
Nice to have:
Bluetooth
No hw buttons
Competetive price
Dual or Quad core.
Don't-care:
Battery life - it will always be connected to powersource
Design - only the screen will be visible
I had decided to buy an Ainol Novo7 ELF II, as it is priced right, size is right, there are custom roms for it - but it lacks a GPS receiver.
It doesn't look like any of the chinese tablets have bluetooth nor GPS - can this be right?
What aree my options, anything you can recommend?
...Nexus 7? Fits all your needs, but one. Android version, it has 4.1, not 4.0
At this point Nexus 7. It'll already be running 4.1 and your pretty much guaranteed updates from Google or else ROMs from XDA. Many less common 7" tablets may never see OS updates or ROMs.
The exus 7 is the most obvious choice, however.. it is not for sale in Denmark :/
Maybe the
Archie 80G9?
Its 8" but blogger is better ;P
It runs official AOSP ICS.
And I'm pretty sure that Archos will give it 4.1

Also check out this tablet.
It runs 4.0 and comes with Google Apps.

If you didn't have the Note or Note 2, what phone would you most likely be using now?

For me, I think Samsung Galaxy S III hands down. Runner up would be the HTC One X. That's also a very good looking phone.

Iphone 5 is good if you like simplicity. Android is more of modders type of phone.

Same.
I would probably have tried to get a HOX if I didn't love the note so much.
Probably some cheap flip phone. Kinda getting tired of paying 190$ a month for 2 phones when neither me or my wife make calls and send maybe 500 texts a month and now wifi is at 9/10 of the places I visit.

Reminds me of a time before these nice android tablets, I got a Samsung Q1 Ultra and hated windows and linux on it, so I ported Android-x86 donut to it.
Just a little after that the Streak came out and I felt like I wasted my time and money.
I had an AT&T HTC One X, but I got it early and I kept getting emails from people saying that they tried calling me but I never got the calls.
I returned it and got the Note.
I would probably also be on an sgs3.
HTC one x.which I have... tried the s3. Didn't impress me at all.. still waiting for my perfect phone. If the one x had a SD slot and a battery u can swap out. That would be my perfect phone.

[Q] Help me choose my phone

Hi, I am new user in here and the list with topics is so long...so I decided to write a new one and wait for a good advise.
I have Htc desire from 2 and a half years and now I want to change it. But there is the dilema...Htc One X, Htc One S or Samsung Galaxy S 3.
This is the big question. So pls help me by telling which is better (from your experience).
Are you serious?
Are you on a S III forums asking for advice on what phone to buy?
I think you'll find every one here will say Samsung s3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
HTC one S all the way.
Much easier to fit in your pocket.
IPhone 5
Nah I'm not really gay. S3 is a belting phone. Wouldn't swap it for anything else on the market right now
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If hardware is most important then S3,if software, then nexus 4.

honestly, i would get an asus transformer. for almost and extra 50.00 or 75.00 you can get a really amazing tablet and a lot bigger. i have the asus transformer tf300 and it is seriously the best tablet i have came across. the google nexus 7 is good for 200.00. if you go the extra mile it will be worth it.
Nexus 7 all the way. Started w an Asus TF101 w keyboard, didn't use much. Just too big and heavy a format for me. Nexus 7 gets used all the time perfect size for me. Nexus 7 has loads of ROMs check out the Nexus 7 forum here.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Nexus 7 for sure. I bought an 8gb and it works great for what i use it for. Have paranoidandroid on it and havent rebooted it for almost 1000 hours. Very stable and battery life is amazing.
The only thing i wish was better was the screen. Next to my Evo the thing looks like garbage. But with them both having the same resolution it's understandable. I will definitely be buying the updated N7 if they come out with one. Kind of tempted to buy the N10 but i think it would be too big for what I use it for.
Anyone have the Galaxy note 10.1? I don't care for roms and stuff, just would like to know how the hardware handles running apps and how are the s-pen apps for kids?
