Hey guys,
Anyone have this device? Can a subforum be opened?
It's excellent - I just got it and there's a lot of work to do
I added info at the XDA Wiki...

Can you provide pictures?
I really don't believe this device is out.

it has been out for a loooong time, there is another device similar to the Beam was on July, the other one was on March
both are for Europe market
they don't seem to be very popular
they are from the 8000 family, although the spec are very close to the Galaxy S 9000 family

Few weeks back I came across a review of this phone on youtube. Even though it was announced early this year (and GSM arena says its already available), I didn't find any information indicating that this phone is actually available on the market. I was looking for it's price.

good idea
Just bought mine a week ago from StarHub (the official retailer for galaxy beam).
I second the subforum idea. How about starting a google group as well since the community is so small.
For those who wish to purchase the phone:
You need to place a reservation at StarHub Center before making the purchase. It takes about a week before your phone is ready for collection.
I was lucky enough to get it immediately because someone cancelled his reservation.
waiting for mine, deseperatly ....
i'll check with Admins and Sr Mods to see if they want to create a new forum for it
That's great! Thanks man.
nocomp: you may try bugging their hq at cuppage road. They might just have an extra handset lying around like mine. Haha
i ve bought it from a local shop in singapore, they were agree to send it to me to france.
still waiting for the delivery...... the singapore post tracking service, isn t much alive since 2 days......
i guess that ll be a change from my nexus, what i am pissed of, is that you can t use an app that use camera and projector in the same time
it seems that what has to be done, (part of find a way to upgrade it to froyo):
get gps working when projector is on
get projector working when camera is on
can you tell me if the galaxy beam has also the tv out like galaxy s?
best regards
herve
I have some bad news for you. Samsung has officially stopped software support for that device last month and said there's no plans for official froyo for it as there's just not enough beams out there to warrent the support as it was only sold in Singapore and very small numbers. They now have all development on tablet and galaxy s models. Google for more info. I read that last month someplace

hi
thxx a lot, that news has been goin on here and there fr a while, surely some ppl can adapt 2.2 to the beam model.
i finally received mine )))
bad news, impossible to install an application from android market :'(
never happend before with the nexus, i get the message "unable to download" either i am in wifi or 3g
any idea why?
herve
Hmm never had a problem with market. Have you tried replacing the stock market app with a generic one from ipmart? Perhaps it's locked down to Singapore or something.
Topic moved to General until and if a new proper forum comes into place for this device.
hi,
well i ve took sim card off n sdcard off, and then it was working over wifi.
put the simcard back again and market was working.
no idea wtf happend.
hi,
how can i know what software update is current?
my version is 2.1 update 1
I8520DXJ11
kernel 2.6.29-zeus1
can t find in the setting menu the update section
thx for your help
btw i ve found this, anybody tried it?
http://shomblingteam.blogspot.com/2010/08/samsung-i8520-galaxy-beam.html
My phone is running the same firmware version as yours. It's released on 1 Sept which is more recent than the July version on that blog.
hi,
thx for the news, so if there is an update it ll appear in the "about" section right?
do you know any trick/tweak for allow to run gps when using projector?
herve
Probably, but I doubt there will be any more updates since the beam is not getting froyo. Hopefully I'm wrong...
I'm not aware of any tricks but if you have the time and expertise try editing the source code? Haha I'm no expert either.
I've tried to find these things in stock since they were released...Just was able to pick one up. They are mini little android collectibles that were licensed by Google
If anyone else is interested Daily Deal has them in stock
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=49323
Shows in stock for me now.
ANDROID MINI COLLECTIBLES SERIES (01-12) in icellphonestore.com
you can buy a whole lot of them here http://s.dealextreme.com/search/android
I bought one a while back and it came, the only problem is that it takes about a month to come in the mail.

I know Dead Zebra also sells them...but they're out of stock...so....lol

Nice find on these!! I bought some on ebay a while ago. I paid almost $20 each for them, I could have practically bought the set instead of three for the same price....
Excuse me if this sounds rude or anything but the dealextreme ones look fake. From what I read, the ANDROID words are suppose to be in the back and are more indented. I've been trying to get the 1st series, but there's just so many fakes out there now. . . ..
OH yeah, the site from deadzebra is the official one, they are the ones that partner up with google to make it. They have a post to show how to spot a fake. I can't link it because I'm a noob though.
@kekoukela i think icellphonestore.com android mini collectibles is genuine ！！

I bought one from this site on the 14th of March, and it came on March 31st.
1st series, and looks legit. "android" on the back and all.
But...I'm not super familiar with what is legit and what's a knockoff. Not that I care either. It's pretty cool regardless.
Anyone know where I can get a case in South Africa,vodaworld does not have any.

Don't know of any stores in SA as I am in Australia, but if you vote on the link specified in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051130
then Casemate may decide to make the case and you could then order it online
I had a xoom and sold it for the tab, The tab fits in xoom case i have, the camera cutouts on the back are wrong but at least its protected.
This is the case i have.

I have the same issue. Samsung South Africa dont even have the device yet. They are expecting it this month.
In terms of accessories, i have also looked around like a nutter, and i cant find anything.
An Incredible corruptions store in Eastgate said they should be getting this week. I will be checking tomorrow as its Friday.
Thanks, still no luck. Phoned Vodashop vodaworld again today,still nothing. Let me know about eastgate.

mine came with a case and it's pretty awesome, better than any aftermarket case that i've seen
Any of you guys from SA find a case???
I've had my tab for 3 weeks now and I still can't find anything. Got some family in the UK - seriously thinking about getting a few from ebay.co.uk and getting them shipped here.
Hi guys,
It fits in an Ipad 1 case. Needs cutouts for power and camera though.

Still no luck for me, Vodaphone shop said they would contact me when they do arrive. Very frustrating, they never seem to get it right in SA.
Saw a tweet from Samsungmobilesa that vodashop's should have accesories available mid June.

Did a few stops today while I was out; IC Eastgate say they will get stock next week, IC Greenstone say they have no clue when stock is arriving. So I popped in at Vodaworld; The Vodashop recons 4 - 6 weeks until they expect stock and the Samsung Mobile guys say that they have yet to get their hands on the device never mind the accessories....
have2have has got a cover listed for around R320. Only thing is that there is 7 - 14 days for delivery... placed the order and now I wait

So far the service has been awesome. They email you every step of the order; I know that the package is now waiting to go to Washington Dulles Airport as soon as they finish the customs paperwork...
I had just made an order on ebay for a case....
Will update when it reaches...
Some cool cases that I come across too in China, but no idea on quality.
At least it is made specifically for the 10.1v!

Let us know how it is please
Yes please do let us know!
Also in SA, and have been searching for a case since I got the tab 10.1v.
But now since Vodafone has dropped/discontinued the V version, i'm a sad panda because it means that 10.1V accessories (or at least a case) will be VERY rare...
so if we can get at least 1 good case somewhere it will help us early adopters a lot
looking forward to your feedback (and thanks all for the links so far!)
ok, seeing as no one has either received their imported cases yet, or no one actually cares to reply... heres an update after we did some research the last couple of days.
(also posted on AndroidZA)
decided to import a case, seeing that it is pretty much the only option...
Apart from the importing fact, we also have just about 2 options of cases
I settled on this one from amazon uk : goo.gl/mbHcJ
They estimate about 3 weeks for delivery so we'll see... at least its quite cheap (though shipping isnt...)
Saw that Have2Have advertises a similar case (goo.gl/3bboh), but called them and their US supplier doesnt have stock, so thats a fail.
But here is another viable option, though it is VERY expensive, but looks gooood...
goo.gl/TjDtg
hope it helps someone. i'll update once i get that case.
[edit: sorry about the links, cannot post links yet apparently - so just copy & paste the goo.gl links into the browser]
case from ebay...
hey people,
the case i had ordered from ebay arrived and here are pictures of it.
fits the ports really well, meaning that i can use all my ports.
microfiber material but feels not as nice as the apple one.
am quite happy even though it is a little loose (due to the material being slightly stretchable). can stand too!
pictures!

Thanks, how much did it cost, and when did you you order it? It looks decent enough and we cant really afford to complain, except for the fact that I really would like a screenguard for the tablet as well.
I thought about posing this question in the Q&A section but since it is an accessory I thought I’d list it here. Has anyone heard of a planned release date for the Allshare Cast dongle? I saw Amazon is taking orders at $100 saying it “usually ships within 1-2 months” but that’s not exactly precise.

Did you ever find out your answer? I need to buy on of these asap. I saw it on amazon too and it says 1-3 months now. Are they not available in the USA yet? Also I called the Official Samsung Accessories department today and the guy was very helpful, but had NEVER heard of this device. Seriously, I sent him a few links of the device on Amazon and the Review of the device off Engadget. He called me back to let me know, no one there had ever heard of it either.....Weird!
It's available in Poland
From all I've heard it should be last week of August in UK, and I just don't get why we get the high end phones released and announced first over here because we are one of the biggest markets, but Samsung always give us the accessories last and not bother with any firm release dates, I mean a lot of people are already pissed off with lack of Mass storage mode and External App moving so you'd think they'd have enough sense to get the accessories out as quick as possible to divert attention away from everything else they messed up.

Yeah I know what you mean... I mean stupid HTC has there Media Link out already. It does practically the same thing, but from what I have seen, it isnt quite as good. I wonder if it is even compatible with with other android devices. I want the Allshare Dongle because as a teacher I want to use its presentation mode for power point.
Hey guys, one more thing, I also Have a Nexus 7, you think I could install Allshare on the Tab an use the dongle with the tab as well? That would be ideal!
Allshare funcion uses wireless lan (router) to stream only videos, photos and music.
Allshare cast dongle uses Wi-Fi Direct technology to create mirror of the phone on the TV screen (you can also play games). You don't have to be in the area with wi-fi network.
Allshare cast dongle only works with Galaxy S3.

Here in sweden we have had it for about 2weeks now and my two cents in the matter is,,,,as of now the dongle doesn't work very well ,,
No 1080p , problems with connection, picture in picture (popup play) doesn't work,
Overall iam kind of disappointed
Hopefully a fw upgrade will correct some or all of the problems

I know this has been mentioned before, and we sound like a broke record. But in my frustration I must say this again.
It's impossible to find any Samsung accessories on any online retailers besides eBay at outrageous prices.
Been trying to find the HDMI MHL adapter: 3PHPBEGXAR
For the Note 10.1, and after 10 pages on Google full of retailers that are OUT OF STOCK, it's clear Samsung has no intention of making customer's happy after their initial purchase.
Even Asus, a much smaller company has made their accessories available at my local retailer at a good price let alone online.
This is unacceptable.
Could be. Try here. I just got my book cover from them.

Send it to my business and I will forward it to you.
PM me if you would like to. You pay the exact shipping nothing else. Just trying to help.
Thanks for the offer. Appreciate the kind gesture. I decided to order the Tab 7 dock instead, on Amazon. $27 shipped to Canada.
XDA Users report it also works for the Note 10.1
CostCaption has some rather hideous ratings on http://www.resellerratings.com/store/view/CostCaptain/page/2
I'd be careful before ordering from them, especially if the product has to take detour first.

I have the tab dock and it works perfect. Glad you got it sorted. You will like it! It's pretty cool, I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse by ianker and its amazing.

I totally agree, its soooo hard to find accesories for note 10.1. It would be great if they do something on this area coz i really love my note.

+1 scandalous pricing for the HDMI cable and still not dedicated HDMI / MEDIA Dock, Apple are expensive but at least the gear is available. SAMSUNG FAIL. I've order the tab7 dock to, looking forward to my little DIY project.
What tab 7 dock are you guys talking about. The ones I've seem have corners that would prevent the note 10.1 from fitting
just bought a All in One card reader, CF, Sd, MS, microSD, for the galaxyTab... works fine on Note10.1
bought it at the market in Vietnam for 10$ ^^ No offical accesoir tough.
Dude, if you register your device on Samsung's website, they send you a 50%-off code. I got the $99.00 AllShare Cast Media Hub for 49.00 & the desktop dock for like $15.00. I also picked up a navigation mount with USB auto charger for the GS3 for $10.00 (nicest nav dock I've seen in awhile, very solid.). You can use it for up to ten items on Sammy's accessories on their website.
