yea.....definitely a reason to get the Tab

Just checked potential pricing.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-reported-to-retail-at-699-and-799-in-europe/
Is it just me or does it appear to be RIDICULOUSLY expensive?
Nice device though!

I agree but that site "expansys" from what i read in the Samsung Tab price posts jacks the prices up anyways. Lets hope its cheaper.

Ive noticed these things have insanely inflated prices any time a cell radio in is in the spec listing. I have no intentions of buying one for that purpose.. that is a bit stupid. Wifi would be just fine.. specially considering my dinc can supply it's 3g service without any extra monthly fees
Though it's awesome they rooted it already.

it'll be rooted and sim unlocked in no time because it uses all the same from Galaxy S

Its not just that. Anywhere that is currently listing a sale price is utterly guessing. They genuinely have no information to work with. And then expansys are adding 200 on top of total guesswork.
Also, rootedness = awesomeness Can't wait to get this thing running. We might even get Cyanogen for it. That'd give it some real chops. Full bluetooth support + sixaxis controller/wiimote + SNES Emulator + 7inch screen/HDMI + 7 hours of battery = ultimate in traveling awesome. All of the gaming stuff gets better hooked up to one of these. ScummVM, emulators, tower defense, even suduko and mahjong is cooler.
My real dream tho... BT mouse and someone to port C&C . Thats one hell of a train ride *drools*

Thats awesome.
Lets OC it and toss some fix the lag lol

Yay! Can't wait to get a hold of one of these

Someone elsewhere in these forums posted a link to someone who had managed to get quadrant scores, and it would indeed seem to be plagued by the same kind of problems as the stock SGS, primarily because they haven't changed a whole lot. Luckilly since it is so similar to SGS, it strikes me that the current lag fixes might not even need to be changed for the SGS, aside from initially needing a manual update.zip route until someone makes a specific one-click app, since I imagine the Tab will have different usb drivers.
Still, anything you can do to make the SGS rock harder, you can near certainly do to the Tab. Just have to wait for the units to show up and the chefs to get to work.

Wait so am i mistaken that they are removing just voice dialing.. meaning like.. "call mike jones" and it auto calls.. or are they removing the actual PHONE capibility in the tab? If they do that Im not gettign it, i was all hyped that I could have a tablet that was sweet and have a phone, no need for both I tell you that.

$750 in indonesia, nice pad

Who actually likes this phone?

I mean, common, with all the people asking if they should get an iphone or this, or what's better, this or the nexus, or all that other crap, am I the only one who realizes the absolute potential of this phone and how it pwns (excuse the crude terminology xD) basicly every other device out there including the crackberries and isucks, like just today I got about two hours total talk time, bout 5 hours online, wifi on for about 4 hours, bout 5 hours music through bluetooth and bout two through 3.5mm (damn thing lasted longer then my s10-HD), Data/gps and bluetooth on all day and going on 15hours uptime with 22% left on battery.
It performs extremely quick, compatible with basicly everything droid and ahead of the current market including the new nexus in specs, what's to question? The fact that carriers are being slow to release an update?
We already know that itl be comming fully touchcrapped out, and most people on this forums definitely aren't experienced enough to lay their hands on a system file let alone build a rom and will have to wait till someone releases a AOSP style build, with that being said, we don't need the carriers, only the drivers, then we can port what we need, so, why all the complaining, I say simply, if if you question the purchase, go for the alternitave, you probably couldn't handle the device properly anyways.
Opinions? And keep it clean, believe it or not, I'm actually going for a "healthy" discussion xD

I choose this one.

I don't know how anyone could question it you can do so much with it its incredibly user friendly and poweful, easy as hell to flash, (although that counter sucks...),
Good lineup of cases, amazing screen and perfect resolution, I even like some* (very little) of TW,
I still say if you have to ask yourself, take the iphone xD

I LOVE this phone, it's a monster!
I can close to literally do anything and EVERYTHING with it.
A side note is that this is Android, and if you're not too bright then you're just wasting your phones potential and would be better off with an iPhone.
Idk why so many ppl worry about these lines and blobs, you obviously have to look for them in order for them to get annoying... Either that or I don't have them as bad and atrocious as others say they are.

Ye lol I like the processor and gig of ram part with my 16gb sdcard xD
Even compressing large zips are a breeze on it, and even with apps like android hexeditors and droidedit (notepad++ for droid with awesome features basicly) you don't even need a pc really xD you can basicly do what you need right from it,
haven't turned on my pc in about 3 days, on fibre optics and 802.11n router, I burnt through 400gb on my bandwidth last month xD)

I love this phone no doubt despite the lines problem i notice sometimes. But you actually get used to it.

Least you got a white obe xD telus didn't have any when I exchangex my first one, which they didn't have any then... and probably don't now...

Love the phone, I get bored pretty easily but have had this phone for a while now. Maybe it's the wait to see what ROMs come out of it (knowing Eugene is working on cm7 is great). Maybe it's just that there really isn't anything better at the moment for me.
Also as far as I know, Telus never got the white SII X

I love this phone, even with touchcrap and lack of ICS/CM (for now) its great. I'm excited to see CM 7 better supported soon and eventually CM9, that will be a great day for me lol.
As for the lines and blobs...after flashing newer kernels with updated skyrocket drivers it is reduced quite a bit.

Ye I love the lil things in crapwizz like turning of auto brightness and holding the status bar to adjust, and other **** like that, the GUI is to big in my opinion, icons are huge, fun to theme though, got CS5 so pngs are really fun
CM9 will definitely please a lot of people that's for sure, I just want drivers its pretty bad when I can build ICS for my old ass 3g lg (fun times.. good old days..) and I can dev all I want but its useless without proper sources xD
Those with like first edition s2x are probably having the blobs worse, samsung being cheap again, (look at the nexus..)
Find an excuse to RMA, that aughta do it
@christ1119
Ye it sucks... they look ballin woulda looked weird in a ballistics case though I guess..

I, too, love this phone. There's not a phone on the market I would rather being using.
It's got the best hardware of any current phone (except the Skyrocket, and that's the same phone for all intents and purposes since I'm not on AT&T).
Only thing I miss from it is AOSP ROMs, but that's just software, and those will come in time.
Nice to see some positiveness on this forum.

I was just about to order a galaxy nexus and this thread is holding me off for a bit.lol

I effin love this phone as stated in this thread it does everything i need it to and more. The fact that it is a qualcomm does not bother me it is more then capable of tearing anything u throw at it up. And as far as the lines go i dont see them even on low setting nor do i care to look for them. I think this phone hulk smashs every phone out there and can only imagine how much fasrer it will be when we do get ics and use the processor to its full potential coupled with true hw accelaration. I cant wait

Couple screenies....i think this is my new setup for awhile

Sent from my SGH-T989

I agree with everything in the OP, to be honest, I had issues with GB and bugs on my other devices like my G2x (major issues on that, didn't wanna root it cause the dual core was pretty awesome but still did because of the ****ty stock rom). But ever since I switched to my SGS2, although being different from the original, no update to ICS in sight anytime soon, I'm least bothered by it, this is probably the most complete and bugless stock rom I've had on any device, I don't mind touch wiz one bit, know others don't like it but it's cool by me, there is a few things I wish I could change on it but ey it works, it's smooth and all the neat little features are actually pretty sweet. I actually use the default apps for just about everything, the response and performance is awesome compared to my previous phones (G2x response was pretty nice too btw just crappy bugs), only thing I had an issue with is my gps signal being lost at times or taking a while to lock on, but I kinda figured out why since it only happens in certain areas where I live, other than that, I'm pleased and loving my phone, not in much of a hurry for ICS since I can do everything I need to on the current system software and data speeds are awesome and the camera takes beautiful pics, what more could I ask for?
(Wish we had a little more support on accessories though, like cases and stuff like iPhones do, I have about 10 cases to choose from, most being plain, they have a bloody wall full of 'em in all designs and patterns you could think of, unfair much? Lol)

My Nexus S got stolen. Do I get a S3?

Hi Guys,
My trusty nexus s running Codename Android got stolen yesterday and I'm pretty bummed out. I had just uninstalled the tracker to test the batter life so it's pretty much gone!
The silver lining is that I have a reason to get a S3 now, but do I?
I am excited that CNA is testing a beta for the S3 which is cool, my favorite ROM.
From what I'm reading here, I guess the biggest concerns I have for the S3 are the lack of mass storage support? Is this true or does it use MTP like the tablets? also the size, it it going to crowd my pocket in my not so baggy jeans?
thanks for your thoughts on this.

It uses MTP, and it'll fit in your pockets just fine.

Dude get it. The size is perfect and you will not regret it at all. I also thought it would be to big but no its perfect. Very nice for browsing too. Older phones I would never browse xda I would use my computer but now I relarely use my laptop. The performance of this phone still blowsme aaway. It bangs on my galaxy nexus. Development here is getting better and better. Plus we had about 8 leaks (stock jb) in the past month.....camera is a whole other animal. This phone is a beast

I'm a small dude and I wear "skinny jeans" (I don't go to the extreme of my balls bulging because my pants are so tight, but they are slim fit) and it fits perfectly fine in all my pants. On that note, I NEVER (even when I use to wear Jnco Jeans back in the '90s LOL) put anything in the same pocket as my phone, so, I don't know how to say if it does or doesn't crowd my pocket since I don't put anything else in there.
The phone is a comfortable fit in my pocket though.

It uses MTP but at least it has MicroSD. So for big files, I just take out the MicroSD and copy stuff over.

You can install this tracker remotely if you would like to find out where your Nexus is.

Okay. Picked up a new S3 from Tmobile today, they had a good deal going.
I'm a little bit freaked out by the flash counter thing (I've only ever had nexus phones) so I rooted it with the UVALH2 and seems good, now I get to debloat a little bit.
Looking for a way now to remove the annoying tmobile sounds on start and reboot, why do they have to be so abnoxious?
thanks for your recommendations, I really do like this phone.

About to pull the trigger on the T-mobile Note 3

I am about to buy this phone by this afternoon. I am coming from a Nexus 4. My reasons are as follows:
1. Need faster speeds (LTE).
2. Want an AMOLED screen
3. Need better battery life than what I have now
I fully intend to root this device and put CM 11 on it.
Please let me know what are the negatives that I'm in for. I've read some things, but nothing definitive that someone can point out. It would be much appreciated for those who actually have the phone to chime in and let me know what shortcomings you have with it so that I can ensure I'm making a sound decision.
Thanks as always!

You will catch hell from jealous people about the screen size, that's it. Enjoy this awesome phone!

If you have a choice between Android 4.3 and 4.4.x it might be better to get 4.3. From 4.3 you would be able to load an unauthorized 4.4.2 which has more potential then the authotized 4.4.2.

Can't really think of any negatives. The Note 3 is a great phone. One negative you might get from someone is that the Amoled screens are notorious for having burn in. I have yet to experience this and haven't seen any reports of it on the Note 3. I don't think it's anything to worry about and I'm sure Samsung made sure the display on the Note 3 is top notch.
I just thought of a negative actually: in my opinion, the display is a bit over saturated, but it's not too bad.

Would you guys say that CM11 is stable enough in its nightly form to be used as a daily driver?
And believe it or not, my Nexus 4 has temporary burn-in even though it's an IPS screen, while my old SGS 3 which is an AMOLED did NOT have any burn in.

Haven't ran CM in a while. I feel I get a much more out of the phone on stock rom (with Google Now launcher and some Wanam Xposed modding)
but to answer your question, yes CM11 is very stable on the note 3 other than NFC not working. Unfortunately, you wont find any AOSP rom at this moment for the Note 3 that has NFC working. I can't really say if the latest CM11 nightlies are stable or not because I haven't ran CM in a while but there is the M5 build which I can tell you is stable. You can check the "official CM nighties" thread in the development section for more solid impute.
To make my answer more strait forward, CM11 nightless have always been stable enough for daily drivers (when I ran them) but I can't confirm that the latest builds are stable because I'm not running CM. Sorry if I'm confusing lol

Sorry, I just really don't believe in CM on the Note. Other phones for sure. But not on the Note. Putting CM on the Note is like buying a BMW and replacing the entire car with after market. You don't get all the Sammy stuff that this phone was built for. There's alot of gimmicky stuff that nobody (well I don't) use, but there are some fundamental things that are built into TW like note app, and things like that. Using CM i have been able to get all that functionality back, but using alot of 3rd party apps that just don't work as smoothly. My big thing is Sammy trying to make you use it's apps and not giving you the option to map buttons, flicks, blah blah, with other apps like google search.
All in all it comes down to what you prefer and what makes you happy. Very good phone with premium build and specs.

I'm not too interested in all the gimmicks Samsung put on the phone to begin with. Even if I just get a phone with a big screen with CM11, as basic as it sounds, that'd be good enough for me.

I agree. The Note 3 really doesn't have any lag with the TW launcher (though i use Nova Prime) anymore and I use the Stylus and like some of the features it has. To me it's like neutering the phone removing the Spen functionality. Why buy the phone and remove a lot of the point of buying it? Plus TW has grown on me, the UI of CM is so bland it looks like a kids project. I used to use CM on my Bionic but ever since they went commercial and became Cyanogen Inc. i will not use CM anymore, not after what they pulled on developers where they basically stole a lot of the work that individuals did and let CM use to help polish their OS and didn't even at least give credit in most cases, like CM designed it.

Yeah. Alot of us were kinda perved about CM doing that, but in return, they gave us "MOUNDS" of stuff to work with. So it's kinda a win , win. Plus Koush works tireslessly still to help out both the forum and the community. So i feel like, whatever lil tweak i announced on here over the years, these guys probably already knew about. Love the XDA community.

Exactly. This is true. I'm not tied to the hip with CM, but they just update a lot more frequently. Honestly, any ROM that gives me the flexibility that CM does, I'd be cool with.

I'm with you guys about cm on the note, it was great on previous devices but it just doesn't do the note line any justice. With the specs these notes come with even the bloat fest that is TouchWiz runs flawlessly, I use both adw ex & nova prime myself for a slimmer and more customizable experience but honestly the stock tw launcher is much improved since it's first showing back on the original galaxy s phones.
You buy a note 3 for its beast like specs, it's premium quality sized screen and s-pen. Only people with tiny hands can claim they prefer an HTC one m7/m8. Don't even get me started about build quality on HTC since people will just put a plastic case over it anyways defeating the purpose. Besides note line have proven to be the real game changers when it comes to cutting edge performance and specs, I was yawning over all the other devices that were struggling to keep up with our note 3 lol

Yeah I can see and understand where you're coming from. I know Koush does a lot for the community but that bothered me a bit. Plus the note takes a step back with CM in my opinion so i haven't even been keeping up with CM actually.

:facepalm: this whole forum is dedicated to exactly that so of course we think it's worth it.
That's like walking into a church and asking if this is worth it, everyone is going to tell you yes.

I do it for one reason, to get a custom kernel with high brightness mode. I need that because I use mine for nav on my motorcycle and need the extra brightness. So it is certainly worth it to me for that reason. It saves me from buying a waterproof GPS for the bike, which isn't cheap. Plus it is much easier to make custom routes on the phone.
You should look at what can be done with root and see if those things are if any value to you.

From experience the benefits are negligible at this point. They use to be useful years ago when Roms were exciting because they added a bunch of features.
You don’t have to look hard to see that the number of users rooting and flashing roms has dropped dramatically.

Loved It
Thank you ..

for me it's ad blocking, hands down. AdAway makes internet connected apps so much more pleasant, so much do that using other people's unrooted phones is a terrible experience to me now.
aside from that, it's tinkering with the system software, being able to tweak some games (REROLLING *cough*), and customizing the phone UI/sounds to your heart's content.
