Hi dear!
I'm currently using Nexus S but I want to get galaxy tab!
I used to have iPad 1g and it was quite useful for study and web browsing.
I miss my iPad right now but I have not budget t.t
So I just want to get galaxy tab as a phone and a tablet pc.
I have some questions so please answer me asap before I make a decision!
1. how is the battery life? (compare to smartphone such as nexus s)
2. How is the internet browsing? (compare to iPad, does it have lag when scrolling?)
3. as a phone, is it okay? (I heard when calling, can use a bluetooth earphone)
4. is it fine to read pdf files? (as I'm a student so I need to read some pdf files and ebooks in galaxy tab.)
5. Skype has been updated hence is video chat working on galaxy tab?
Please reply me I don't mind whether or not it will be updated to honeycomb if it works well as a phone, an ebook reader and a multimedia device.
oh should I root it for better performance or is it okay with a stock rom?
1. 8 hours flat out depending how you use it 2-3 days if you leave it alone.
2. Depnds what browserdolphin browser hd is the fastest.

3.as a phone its ok if you use earphones or handsfree but impractical without them as you have to hold it upside down with the screen pointing away from you.
4. Yes you can as long as you get all the free adobe stuff of the market.
5. Yes you can video chat now although it's a bit pixilated and laggy.
6. If you want extra functionality or to install custom roms boot animations and have full control over it, root it with superoneclick, you can get superoneclick from shortfuse.org
NOTE: ROOTING WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Okay thanks for reply
but I saw the stock browser on gingerbread is blazingly fast!
should I use the third party app?
Btw, I read that if I root, I can also do video chat on google talk, is it right?
two more! handsfree is in the original package or have to buy?
lastly, after rooting, how can I update OS although we dont know exactly when it will come out?
Stock browser is very fast but isn't tabbed and dolphin browser is which is slot faster.
Earphones with a microphone come with the tab but handsfree kits come separately and you don't need any kind of special one just one with bluetooth.

Yes you can video chat as long as the other person has a pc with a webcam or a rooted device with goggles talk on it.
For the last one that's a question to go to the development section but all I know is you need to get the files from there and flash them with odin there will usually be a guide that comes with it.
Hope you buy a galaxy tab or you might consider galaxy tab 10.1 (the ipad slayer)

Seems you could get your question solved with gtab which has low budget

I love my Tab. Do lots of surfing and reading on it. It's the perfect size (for my uses anyway.) Don't have any plans to replace my phone with it though, so can't say as far as those aspects go. If you can find one for $200 or less, it's a steal and well worth the money.
Definitely

Thank you for reply.
But in New Zealand where I live, tab p1000 brand new is still 640 and only wifi version is 500. Is it worth if I use it as what I stated on the above? Hm..

i recently got my samsung galaxy tab and it's the best device i had ... with custom rom i use overcome rom and the battery life is really great .. the best size for a tab as you can hold it with one hand while going out and even to use it as a phone .. many many apps and games are optimized for it ... great Tablet indeed ..
Can someone point me towards a list of stock apps safe to remove? I know I saw a list somewhere here but no luck finding that right now.
Thanks
take attention to: sorry, couldn;t find it here.
You'll need root, and I'd recommend you to freeze it first, before uninstalling, using Titanium Backup.
I would thank you if I had a Galaxy S 2 or had asked this question in the Galaxy S 2 section.
Sorry to disturb you, but if I'd be you - I'd look on common apps at beginning.
If you're unable to do so - apologies again for taking your precious time.

If you care to open your eyes and take the time to read what this guy has posted for you, you'll see that almost all, if not Every one of the apps on that list are in standard sgs roms. Take your thumb from up your arse and hit the thanks button for his useful post.

Since the new Galaxy S4 has been announced, the S Health feature looked very nice! I went to a XDA forum where they ported the S Health apk to the Galaxy s3. I downloaded the apk and placed it in /system/app/ . I then restarted my phone and when it started up, I see the lockscreen and i have about 5 seconds and then the device freezes. I cannot do anything! I have to hold in the power button or take out my battery for the phone to restart again (only to freeze again once it starts up, making the phone unusable). I have a big feeling that it has something to do with the S Health apk. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! Thanks in advance
Link where i downloaded the S Health apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746670

Since its a system app you can reflash your ROM without wipe to remove that system app.

Maybe it's due to the SDS fix. It is said that, instead of damaging the device, the fix occasionate freezes. Check for the SDS freeze post in the forum and U'll get more info. The S Health is definitely not the cause of those problems.
