What the title says. It seems to be very similar to the EEE, but it's lighter and does 3G. What's everyone's take? I'm having trouble deciding whether to get this or the Transformer.
They are similar. The galaxy tab is lighter smaller and thinner. It also may come with a different SoC then Tegra 2. I forget the name. Something similar to the Galaxy S2 and will probably be DiVX certified with better video playback support.
It does not have a dock, it does have a touchwiz skin.
Touchwiz kills it for me, that and $100 more and June release.

I have the Transformer and I'm lovin' it, but I'm waiting to see what Samsung comes up with. I'm intersted in both tabs that they are advertising: 10.1 and 8.9.
Actually the smaller one is even more intersting because I don't think the bigger one differs enough to deserve another look after the Transformer.
rio
isn't 10.1V the heavy old one?
from what I saw on youtube, they're emphasizing that the tab 10.1 is a pure google experience with no touchwiz. It has tegra 2 as well.
I was set on waiting for the 10.1v since there were sites reporting it had a USB 2.0 slot (most likely mini). Come to find out it doesn't have one and also does not have an HDMI output (mini or otherwise). If it had both, I would have waited. I was hoping it would have the perfect hardware that all other tablets have some but not other (HDMI, USB, LED camera flash, microSD, etc).
I thought the 10.1v was essentially a limited-run (i.e. bastard child) product, since Samsung will be re-releasing a thinner version to compete against the iPad2.
Personally, I think the 8.9 version will be really sweet (only 1 lbs.), but the Transformer and its uber dock still gets my vote.
10.1v is the 10.1" version of the current Galaxy Tab. The non-V version is the real one you want which has Honeycomb on it. Samsung = too many models

the 10.1v is the model exclusive to Vodafone, with 3g. The 10.1 with no v is likely to be wifi only. It's supposed to be thinner and lighter than the ipad2.

The whole thing is kinda weird. According to the Wikipedia the 10.1V is 4g heavier than the 10.1. It is a lot thinner but 4g is nothing to a 600g device.
Hi is there a possability that the JB - 4.1.1- XXLS2 from the Note N7000 can be ported over to the tab 7.7 since both have exactly the same
hardware! of course there will probably be a kernel issue I'm not sure since I'm not a developer but I hope that this might be a way to make our
Tablets revived for a few more months since it still is probably the tablet with the best possible screen and size!!!! Lets hope for the best
what's really would help is getting the documentation of the whole chipset.
they need details for developing the hardware abstraction layer (HAL), this will help in all later android releases not just JB.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.

Man I've been wondering about this same exact thing!!!!...Would really like to get Project Butter 100% on my 7.7. Although, I think the devs have done an awesome job so far...I also wonder if they would be able to incorporate the touchwiz/multiscreen UI as well with JB onto CM10.
Is it as simple as just dropping the "image/rom" from the N7000...idk, Im completely noob when it comes to this stuff.
I really wish Samsung would just release a fully functional OTA JB on this tablet. It blows the Ipad mini out the water.
how to download please ?
Im honestly surprised there is'nt more Custom Roms available for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211, for instance, Roms like Miui, C.M 10.2, AOKP, PACMAN, or even a Touch Wiz 4.3 Updated jump Off to run flawlessly on the Tab 3 T211. Im like really Baffled over here wondering whats going on, this is a great lil device , however this stock 4.1.2 SUCKs. Please, we need a great developer to cook up something RAW for us to Flash. Thanks for listening....
Patience Dude...just a matter of time.....

I really hope for someone will make it soon. I can't do it myself, I don't understand the program language.
So, for you developer, thanks b4. Maybe you can spent your time to make a CM with very2 updated Android sistem (maybe 4.4).

Hey A, You just gave me hope..!!
I honestly hope your Right Buddy, cause from what i see in the forum theres only literally only 2 Custom Roms, Dont get me wrong i TRULY appreciate ALL Devs in this Forum and XDA as a whole, But i definitely dont know how to even start cooking up a Custom Rom, however if ANY devs would need any help with anything simple i always available and willing to assist. Now could it be there isnt many Roms for the T211 cause its fairly new, about how old it is already 6 months old..?? Cause thats a bit of time already. well i hope your right buddy, cant wait to have at least 1 sick rom with UNRESTRICTED TETHERING... I WISH ALL THE BEST TO ALL Devs and everyone as a whole in XDA..

We are here to help one another- Let us work hand in hand in helping to get this device to work as great as possible. Honestly speaking this device may be lagging at times....but this can be resolved by Kernel revamp plus tweaks like :
- Scorpion Bionic Optimisation
- Neon script
My setup to be honest :
Stock ROM..Rooted
Crossbeeder Tweak
So far have not removed any bloatware yet and with the above setup my Antutu (full test) score is on my SM-T211
It'll be worth the wait. My phone is a Motorola Atrix HD. It was released August 2012 and didn't get any real development until the bootloader was unlocked in April of 2013. Since then it has most all of the major ROM's on 4.4.2. Everyone kept saying the same thing about this time last year. Just stick it out.

Totally Understand your dilemma..
Hey B, the deference with the the Galaxy Tab is there no BootLoader holding back the development. i honestly think no big development is acquiring because of the hardware, its not much to brag about, its only a Dual core, i think thats the problem, and with this stock System its really laggy, well for me it is, cause i have the note 2 as well. Anyway i will be here patiently waiting cause in really loving this device, once it get some steroids then ill love it even more. Thanksss.

Once thats downloaded press the menu botton on the botton left side of the Tab 3, then press settings, go to and Click on ''Change Device-profile", then scrool down and tap on Samsung S3, then Click on ''Chanse SetUp-Method" then press "Netd-Ndc (master), then Check on "Wifi-driver reload", thats all it takes, ENJOY..!! Your going to see other options Checked, leave it as is, as for "Wifi-Encryption" you can click that on and set up a Name and password, i did... Hope this is use full. Again i will like to THANK TevE for this GREAT hack, i had it running on my Note 2 As well. Works GREATTTTT>>>!!!!!!!!

So to make sure that I understand what you are saying... I could, instead of having a Wi-Fi Hot Spot from Sprint, have a Tab 3 from Sprint with a data plan, install this, and then be able to use this tablet as a Hot Spot? I currently use my Note 3 (that has unlimited data) but there are times I'd rather have the Hot Spot (or this tablet) as how I connect my laptop to the internet (Like when 4G isn't available and using the Note on 3G basically disables the ability to do phone and data simultaneously).
I don't use the Hot Spot very much so I could probably do this with a limited data plan on the tablet and get away with it.
Anyway. Too long of a post to simply ask if this allows tethering of a Laptop to the Tab 3 for the laptop to use the Tab 3's data plan.
Thanks!

That is not that simple as you think we need a source we need to build from source we need a github page for T211 and we need a developer who is intrested for this device and has the time to do it!

Well 4.4 Kitkat is coming soon from Samsung. Most people like Touchwiz and you can't get a lot working beyond 4.2.2 in any ROM until Samsung drops a new version and the libs can be updated. Not much to do until 4.4 comes that hasn't already been done. Root, then a few tweaks and the tab really hums. When you branch off into cell providers tab versions it gets even harder because you need new /different kernels, modems and firmware specifically for them. In other words there just isn't that much demand for custom ROMs and it takes a lot of effort.
Its funny you say that D.
There isn't even 4.2.2 Build out for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211.. The Tab 3 T311 came with 4.2.2 out the BOX, so it has nothing to do with waiting, cause 4.2.2 is there, however your right when you say there isn't any Devs willing to put in there quality time to cook anything up for the T211, I dont know why cause this Device is a nice lil jump off, so i just made the decision to sell it and cop the Tab 3 8'' T311. Much better device, barely any lag and it came running 4.2.2 out the box, Plus it comes with 16gigs of internal storage, and it just costed me ONLY an extra $10 after selling the T211 for $350, i came off like a fat rat.. lol... So I have my Note 3 Tweaked out, running Jovy23 Darthstalker V6 Custom Rom, Tethering my Tab 3 T311 FLAWLESSLY... Im Loving It..!! :0

Stop hoping.. WHen Tab3s get the official 4.4 is when you will see a working 4.4 . You can't port things without a proper kernel , libs, blobs, and framework to build on. Libs and blobs are not all open source and its tricky to build a kernel without a vendor base. Samsung should be pushing out some 4.4 in April / May

Cell carrier versions always lag behind because they require the cell carrier to add in their bits , kernel, radio, modem, etc.
Hey T.F
I Agree, i would LOVE a T.W 4.4.2 KitKat myself. Im running CM11 (Big Up to CM) and its running GREAT, FLAWLESSLY on my T311, however I Know TW 4.4.2 KitKat will be ported at some point to our 8" Tab 3, look at the bright side though, at-least we have a few options and are not stuck on 4.1.2 like the T211....
QUOTE=thefoss;51314636]I just got a Tab 3 8.0. Was really hoping for a 4.4.2 Tab Pro port[/QUOTE]
Well after reading all comments ... its mean this device is not so good ? Complaints about lags or no custom rom?
Even on stock rom you can improve performance with tweaks like edit your build.prop and add some tweak or add tweak in init.d folder like fly-on mod...
For me I use stock rom 4.1.2 with some tweaks on build.prop
I can play games like asphalt 8 or gta san andreas or play psp game almost smooth with no lag except some game on psp emulator of course I cant compare with my nvidia shield... but for me this galaxy tab 3 7.0 is good enough
Here my score on antutu

useless tab
i have a galaxy tab 3 t211 but i think tab 3 t211 is a useless tab there have 2 custom rom for tab 3 t211 and all off them useless i think tab 2 is batter than tab 3
Is Android 10 Go possible? Or maximum 7.1.2?
I don't mind slowness until it is unusable. Galaxy S2 did it even without Android Go, why Tab 2 can't?
Also how to make custom rom myself?
Update:Installed Lineage 14.1, it is still fast(er than stock rom)
Hi i also waiting
Yeah. Even our ancestor Galaxy Tab 2011 Wifi recieved Android Oreo.

ooof didnt expect that
but thiss device is ages old and its nice of devs to keep it updating to latest security patches
making a rom is quite hard i guess (tried making one but didnt understand stuff) hopefully if devs want they can make one but i dont think it will happen nougat is still buggy for us
Me too

yeah, it's sad that the predecessor got oreo and GT2 haven't. Oreo go edition would have been the best rom for this tablet and any aging tablet for that matter as it is modern and is easy on hardware with 1GB RAM and underperforming processors.
