Is it still worth getting?

Hi i used to own a galaxy tab i had it for a few days with o2 UK sim locked and i found it was very slow and browser wasnt good apps wouldnt display full screen. With the new gingerbread update now out how is this now and is it worth it. I am about to recieve a little work bonus and im tempted to buy a tab again as im using my phone for internet.

I have none of the problems that you described, so I'd obviously say it's worth it. But no-one can tell you whether you should or shouldn't get it. Maybe shop round a bit and check out the alternatives first.

like john mentioned nobody can tell you to buy it or no
but my advice is , if you planning to buy it again , buy it GSM , unlocked to get the best out of it .
in the other side i will recommand you to buy it again as its the best tab 7inch in the market

I'm new to android,a complete noob..my 1st android and I choose galaxy tab p1000..never regret I bought it at the 1st place..I prefer it much more than the iphone4 I gave to my wife..

Like John and k0sh, I can't tell you what to buy, but having come from froyo to gingerbread (and now running overcome 3.0) made me feel like I had a new tab. More stable and responsive.
The browser issue you refer may have to do with the agent (android vs desktop). You can solve it by using a browser like dolphin hd. I believe that, on overcome, you can browse as desktop on stock browser.
Cheers

Did you already purchase SGT 7?
If not, maybe you can consider 8.9 also. Reason for me to own SGT 7 is only because it have phone ability and big screen for browse internet and portable. I'm sure 8.9 version also have phone ability but not sure either it is portable

If you got it already, id say go and get the htc flyer

It as alot to do with it. Our carriers have alot more control over what is put on the phone. Plus most of the OEM are Europe based with a much larger market area. This has always been the case and always will be. Main reason I no longer by US based phones. I am willing to pay more for the phone for better updates. Hell the euro version of the phones sometimes gets updates the US version never sees

How do you get the euro phones?

Order them at full price from different sites. On the for mobile solutions is a good one as others. It does take a little bit more research to make sure you get a device that works on your data bands. Like att. I can order a phone from Telstra in Australia and it will work on my 3G network. Yes it is more expencive but it bypasses alot of things. Mainly now with the government adding the chip to our phones for them to send texts directly to our phones with no way to prevent it or turn it off.

.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Because there is just too much carrier politics in USA. And, of course, they are willing to pay everyone to STFU and/or GTFO.

Fken awesome! I hope we can get the Radio sooner than that though. But this is great new nonetheless...i was beginning to think that the Tmo Note was just a rumor after all. This proves it wrong.

Great news, can't wait to get better speeds...I would've considered trading my current note for it, but it looks like they will only carry black, I love my white note too much.

Does the T-Mobile version have the exynos processor since no LTE?

These dates have to wrong cause all new devices are released on Tuesday. They are just like CDs and DVDs, always released on Tuesday. Maybe they will be released yhe same week of these dates.

i wonder if it will have the Wifi Calling feature?? If so, I'm trading in my AT&T for a TMobile Note. Can't wait and it's on my birthday, whoohooo

I hope we can extract the wificalling apk and use it on T-Mobile sims . That will make my note complete:')

That's not true entirely my friend. As a sales rep for the big three we do release phones on special days sometimes... just like on certain days other than Tuesdays they release DVDs and movies and music and such. Discluding pre orders of course.

Well ****. I was going to buy a Note outright from AT&T on July 2nd to use on tmo but now I dunno if I should wait. If it's the same processor, will we be able to port a better radio to the att version? I had my heart set on white...

Well im one of the lucky few who knows someone with a note and insurance so i paid the deposit for mine and im on tmobile so the wait for great signals seems worth it to me since i paid less than half the price for this phone.

It will be the same one though right? No need to worry.

If they were smart, they would bring the exynos and advertise as the most powerful note offered in America or some crap. They don't need it to be LTE equipped yet, so it would make sense and give them an edge.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA

Has anyone gotten any update to which processor will be used see as how t-mobile does not currently have LTE???

The T-mobile galaxy note will use the same S3 snapdragon 1.5MHz processor that is used in the At&t Galaxy note.

This is great! If the hardware, is the same then we be great for us ATT Note using Tmobile users! Can't wait.
Just curious, if the hardware is the same, how is the Tmo version going to have 42+mbps, since the ATT version can only support 14mpbs. Is it all in the radio update?

Not that I don't believe you because this seems like the easiest and most logical thing for t-mo to do but do you have an reference's? Also since the hardware will be the same will AT&T roms/kernels work without any modification?

If you look at the 2nd and 3rd screenshots you can see the tmobile note uses the same cpu/gpu as the at&t note. The specs could change between then and July 11th, but my imo, i don't think it will. As far as roms/kernals go, i don't know. A dev could better answer that question.

Where do I OFFICIALLY buy the lg optimus 4x HD?

I really really want this beast as my first smartphone (Verizon), but I can't find where to officially buy it. I know its on eBay but I don't feel like trusting it since the phone is so new. Lg official site doesn't have it, and Google searching didn't help too much either so where did you all buy yours? I feel stupid for asking, so sorry if its a noob question..... thanks in advance!

yeah, more like that! That would work, but I don't want to ship from Europe and yes I'm also looking into seeing if the 4x will work on verizon
Sent from my AOKP ICS Flyer using xda app-developers app

As far as I know, its only been released in North West Europe, and even that excludes the UK.
So you'll either have to wait, or get it imported from Europe. Pretty sure any US seller at the moment will have done the same.

The European 4X will never work on Verizon, completely different network standard. It would run just fine on AT&T however.

I got mine from Negri Electronics, it seems like a pretty good site

don't waste time on it, our EURO models do not support US 4G LTE, you need a different mobile for that.
as previously said, only AT&T will work for you, as they got UMTS/3G support
i guess this guy seen the US edition of 4X here

OK thanks for the quick answer, I figured as much I guess I may have to deal with dual core and wait a while then. Its a shame, I wanted something that would outclass the razr HD and other snapdragons, but I don't think quad core will be coming to Verizon for a long time

You might want to wait for the LG F180 then. It may come out in less than 2 months.

Sorry for the bump but...
As I live in the states and had my heart set on this phone I was just wondering if anybody knew of any carrier other than at&t who supported umts/3g as stated in the above post?
At&t just sucks as they are money hungry leeches. Anyways, I don't really know where to find this information and was hoping someone here would know.

Please note that although the price to performance ratio of this phone is excellent, the only things you can do with this phone is,
1. Upgrade to the latest V10f firmware.
2. Root the phone.
3. Install CWM Touch.
4. Install a Deodex-ed app and framework on the phone.
5. Install a Camera Mod which "fixes" poor lighting.
Things you cannot do due to the locked bootloader.
Install a custom kernel and rom, which is probably what everyone is pissed off over LG for.

That is incorrect. Wind uses the same GSM bands as T-Mobile.

Could an offical JB ROM finally be on its way?

AT&T Notes get theirs tomorrow. Hopefully we get ours too/soon, maybe like the S2 did.

That's making a big assumption. T-Mobile may not even be thinking about JB for our phones. After all, they didn't sell very many of them to begin with. They may be focusing on getting updates out to their more popular phones (GSIII and Note II).
I would love to see JB from T-Mo, but i'm not holding my breath. Plus, with CM10 and Carbon ROM already at 4.2.2, it's not like we don't have decent JB options.

I would love to try a touchwiz based jb ROM though. But that means I would have to go back to stock unless ptmr wants to update his Jedi leader ROM if we even get jb... I don't see that happening though

S suite / touch wiz and wifi calling is what I miss on CM.

The closest thing I can suggest would be to flash the at&t version but use the "blaze" modem. If you do go this route make sure that the one that you flash is prerooted that way you can remove the at&t bloatware. Now you will loose the WiFi calling until someone can go through both two versions to find where the "WiFi calling" is located

Actually there are about 20k of this model in the wild. T Mobile made a deal with Samsung in order to get a jump on the Galaxy 4 they literally bought enough of this model to fill a warehouse. T Mobile then turned around and contracted their sales out to places like Costco and Wal-Mart where they are still being sold at a discounted price.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

I wouldn't mind flashing the AT&T JB if it will fly - just to see what the feel is like.
I am quite dependent on WIFI calling, but I can always reflash the original and reload my apps I guess.
if anyone has already done this: if there are kinks, could you please post back?

If it does one out I would like to see what is different because from what I understand the Canada version has the pop out browser which the att version doesn't meanwhile both are missing the nav panel and multi Window

Wifi Calling is the only one I miss with CM based AvatarROM. The S Suite are just something there that I used 10% of the time. And I hated touchwiz. It makes my phone sllloooowwww and buggy. I'm loving my ROM now its fast, although not as smooth but still very stable.

I agree with that statement and I have wondered is there a way to compare the touchwiz from the att room and the touchwiz from tmobile to find the difference? I would be more than happy to wade through the code myself is someone could point me into the proper direction.....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium HD app

just reading around the web, the JB release I think is inevitable. i717, s3 and s2 are out, the international version N7000 is out in some parts of the world [not all], so, its just t-mo that is slow at this point. could be any day, any hour.
then we'll all figure out what we hate about it and resume complaining....

Good point......
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

I'm frankly on the fence here - reading through the AT&T version group's collective notes - I dunno what the gain is with JB.
that its new? there are a number of folks that have had troubles [this is not unusual - check google for any sort of notes on 'upgrade to jelly bean'] - shorter battery life, jerky performance, hangs, lags.
I am VERY happy with the stock/rooted/debloated performance I'm getting.
we just picked up a GS3. I was set to be dazzled by its performance etc and spent hours getting it nuked to the bone, then installing, rooting, debloating. To me, its not worth the extra money compared to what I paid for the note 1. there is neglible performance difference [i'm not gaming, so take that into consideration]. side by side, any fool on earth would pick the Note's display, not just because its bigger but it looks startlingly gorgeous next to the GS3. The GS3 had a bunch of wifi connectivity issues. I don't know if I have them all squashed yet or not - jury is still out.
there's more "interference ware" on the GS3 - things that are scanning in the background to tell you all sorts of dangers are lurking. some I could uninstall safely, some not. the Note, the way I have it config'd, is 'quiet' by comparison.
battery life looks like the Note wins so far. will know better once the GS3 is finalized and real use occurs a lot.
if it were strictly my call, I'd trade the 3 for another note 1.
jellybeans or not.... i prefer beefsteak.

What about beefsteak flavored jellybeans?

Thats true but we will always have problems until they release the official JB, we all suffer from the random reboots followed by the blue screen when running these roms....Im using rooted stock, that way I know everything works instead of finding out when I need to use a feature.
