In the UK, just bought a galaxy tab 2 7.0 after reading reviews galore, bit annoyed to find no IR port at all!!
Is it because its a UK version?
Also, i dunno if anyone else has the same problem but i can't get google+ to update, gmail to update, nor can i download facebook app either ?!?
Is it just me?

sounds like you got a knock-off of it and not a genuine tab. Or possibly not the tab 2.
what is the model number listed in settings?
Not so, it's was from carphone warehouse, it's genuine alright, but i expect it's cos it's a UK version or summat. Also, changing connection sorted the downloads out. Which is odd, cos i have two other android devices that work fine with my home network.

Bummer! Would have found that useful!!
Cheers for clearing that up tho
It appears only the us models have the ir blaster. I also bought the device based on the reviews, as the manual is not included, samsung should make a spec change like this clear. Still i love the tablet.
Yup, gotta be honest, for the wedge, it's great. Only thing lacking is the camera but i really don't think I'll be using it anyway.

I purchased a Galaxy Samsung Tab 2 7 inch 3G P3110 version in Singapore. There isn't any IR blaster port either.
There isn't much use for the IR blaster, not for me anyway. Samsung hasn't released the code for it, so the tablet is essentially a P3110 once a custom ROM is installed.

I have been reading some reviews and from what I gathered is that the US version does not have an IR built in. Can anyone confirm this? And is this also for European versions?
I tried looking it up but some say it does and some say it doesn't.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0" and YES, it does have the IR Blaster built-in.
As of now, only apps I found for it was the Peel (it came with the tablet) and Touchsquid.
I think the way it is 3113 us version has ir. 3110 international version has no ir.
good day.

I can confirm this. The Dutch (international) version (P3110) has no IR.
Samsung Tab 2 IR blaster
The Samsung Tab 2 sold in the US has an IR blaster. It appears they don't include the feature outside the US. The Peel app is not fully functional outside the US so perhaps that is why they have IR only in the US.
The Touchsquid tablet has an IR blaster, and is available worldwide. The TS PRO remote control app is included in the price, costs $49 on the Samsung.

I don't know that I'd call Peel fully functional withing the US either. It's been nothing but a buggy piece of crap that crashes all the time for me. Maybe the latest update will fix some things.

Haven't had it crash, but i am unable to select a content guide, had to lie to it and say I get ota tv. Otherwise works well, not that I've used it much. Almost seems like a novelty, it easier to just use my Damn remote

Well i have the US version of the tab (P3113) n i live in india....I can use peel to control my TV n all....
The Peel app asks you if you are International or in the US - the guide information may not work but the remote functions should work. I don't know, after about 5-10 minutes setting mine up with it working it just stopped and hasn't worked since.

Bought mine a while ago and it had no IR. It is the P3110 and I am from Greece. So freakin' disappointing.
Hey Gang,
Just want to make sure all the S4 owners know that Mifare Classic Tags are NOT fully compatible with the new Galaxy S4 since it used the Broadcom NFC Chip. Mifare Classics are the most affordable and inexpensive and are compatible with previous Galaxy models (S3, Note, Note 2) but are NOT fully compatible with this new S4.
NTAG203 tags are fully compatible with ALL NFC phones including the new Galaxy S4!
Any NFC Tag that adheres to the NFC Forum protocols will be fully compatible so stick to those. Of those, the most popular and affordable are NTAG203 Tags which work great and have about 137 bytes of usable memory. This will be enough for almost any NFC App EXCEPT the official Tectile App which uses way more memory than it should. I'd suggest not using the Tectile app - there are many better NFC apps!
The 137 bytes on the NTAG203 tags is also enough to create a basic contact sharing tag with Name/Business/Email/Phone, but if you're wanting a full business card with name/business name/street address/website/email/phone/etc then 137 bytes probably won't cut it. (TIP: Install the NFC by MOO app - type in all the info you want on the tag and see how many bytes you need BEFORE buying).
Another tag that is gaining popularity is the Topaz 512 which is also fully compatible with ALL NFC phones and has 512 bytes of actual memory and about 480 bytes of usable memory. This should suffice for the Samsung Tectile app as well as holding all your business info. However, these are more expensive than the NTAG203 tags and will be overkill for most applications as the NTAG203's have plenty of memory for most task launchers or basic contact info.
There are other NFC Chip formats out there - any that adhere to the NFC Forums Type 1 or Type 2 compatibility protocols will work with the Galaxy S4. But based on what's readily available and popular the main thing to remember is that Mifare Classic Tags are NOT compatible with the S4; NTAG203 Tags and Topaz 512 Tags ARE fully compatible!
Hope this info proves helpful and keeps some people from wasting money on tags that aren't compatible.
Found this out the hard way. I have a bunch of mifare tags that I used pretty extensively with my skyrocket and my express and they just plain don't work with the s4. You just get an error that says "tag not supported."
Thanks for the additional info. If you search the forums you will see that there is already a couple of informative threads about this issue but more information is always welcome.
I wish I found this earlier .. I bought 5 tags off ebay and their the Mifare tags and just tried them out on my GS4 with no luck, good job they didnt cost much.
Thanks for the info about which tags actually work with GS4:good:
I used tectiles on my S3 and it was a bummer to find out it does not work with my S4. Thanks for the info :good:

This is not true. TagsforDroid sells NFC tags that are compatible with S4s, you just can't use the Mifare tags (as has been explained).
Ok, since this is the general forum, Im gonna ask a newb question... what can a user do with a NFC tag? I thought they were the type of things that I can just wave my phone at in starbucks to buy a cup of coffee with, but Im guessing they are something else altogether?

I just wrote toggle mobile data on/off, Wi-Fi on/off blocking mode on/off, & auto sync on/off using one NFC chip. These things are nice. I did not use Samsung's model.
I use tags from tagstand.com with my S4 in conjunction with the NFC task launcher app. They are compatible.
P.S. This thread should be under Accessories.

To put it short, they are little tags with chips in them that u can program on ur phone and when u place ur phone next to them it automate tasks on your phone, like I want my gps to turn on and my navigation to open up all without touching/pressing any buttons. so I can stick one of these on my car cradle and when I dock it, it does the tasks. But theres many other things u can use them for.. these have a few ideas

i think you're thinking of the wireless charging Qi.
I believe this is an important fact, however for some reason, there was no mention of this in any of Samsung's stage intros, news reports, or even spec sheets and even any Note 3 reviews.
How can such a big company with an enormous marketing department fail so miserably.
Its is a far more useful feature that the infrared which is mentioned. Also in the current days its even way more practical than the smart-watch they made (which in all honesty has not real life practical use if you have a phone and a BT headset. And without a phone it cant even function on its own).
Anyway it is good (now confirmed) news, not matter the blunder, That Note 3 does in-fact support ANT+
http://www.thisisant.com/news/ant-has-been-integrated-in-samsung-galaxy-note-3
I personally only realized it when and end user reported it in a forum which I follow.
Why they (Samsung) should play this so lowkey I will never understand. I am almost certain that this is going to be news to a lot of the people who worked on the GN3. And its not even funny.
So many sports/fitness people can make good use of it.
It seems to be working on all versions of Note 3 (SD800 I was sure, but a used reported that his equinox also has ANT+). I have to confess that this later part still has me wondering, as it is know that the Snapdragon has had integrated ANT on its chips for a long time (its not something that Samsung added by itself, hence you have it on the Sony Z Ultra also and if rumors are right then the S4 will support it with the next firmware upgrade), but I never heard (till this day) of an equinox that did support this. Doesn't really make sense. You can do a search on google with SD/qualcomm and ANT and you will return positive results. Qualcomm is a part of the alliance. How ever if you do the same for equinoxx you wont find any thing, not a single thing!.
All in all I am very happy. As I dont have to trash my Wahoo speed and cadence sensor. Just to buy a BTLE version of this, to which the android support is still shady and continues to disconnect according to current users. Also very few apps have BTLE enabled for android (As they really waisted time getting here). I think officially so far, only Runtastic pro has in integrated.
However a lot of apps have ANT+ support, as that has been with android since the (Sony Xperia pioneered) 2011 days. If you have problems connecting your ANT device to Note 3, then try this universal connection manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iforpowell.android.ipantman it works with any ANT sports app, not just the developers own. Also lets multiple apps use data from the same ANT device. Basically a must have!
There are very many sensors to choose from, all now compatible with the GN3: http://www.thisisant.com/directory you can filter at the side.
A little background on ANT (as I can see from the replies, that a lot of people are like "ok, but what is ANT?"):
For those that are new to this. ANT+ is a wireless protocol that is similar to Bluetooth, actually more like Bluetooth LE. It is usually found on sport monitors/sensors like a heart rate sensor and is used mostly to transfer information to a reviver/logger, like a "bike computer" (things like speed, cadence, power, pulse, etc).
ANT+ has a wide list of compatible equipment (as its older than BTLE). Formally you needed to buy an expensive receiver/computer (like Garmin) for $400. Now you can use your phone to do this for free and even do it better (as the phones can do much more and has many options for apps/customization.). Also you can simultaneously navigate a map, take calls, listen to music, etc. All-in-one.
See these for any example of ANT+ compatible Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strava or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.endomondo.android both of which, as you can see are very popular. Most of this really became popular with the Sony Xperia Active, which is water, dust and damage proof, so people didn't mind mounting it on their bikes.
Basically you dont need ant to use these apps. The built in GPS on these phone can do wonders (tell you speed, elevation, position). But if you want even more detail and also you wan these details to be more precise, then that is where these sensors come into play.
Ok. Now I know some people might have the feeling, that they have been "living under a cave". Don't feel bad. I too didn't know anything about all this about a year ago. That was when I dusted off my bike in the cellar. As I was getting too fat

So weird: If you do a search for Note 3 and ANT+ on google then all you get is the Sept 5th report from thisisant.com site that I linked and few tech news channels that echoed it the same day or the next. That is all.
So you have Qualcomm then, right? That confirms my supervision.

I personally only realized it when and end user reported it in a forum which I follow, that he revived his Note 3 and it paired with his ANT+ device.
Why should the play this on low-key, it a more important feature that a lot of other things that are published.
So many sports/fitness people can make good use of it.
I suspect that it might be limited to one version only, that is either Exynos or Qualcomm. Still looking for specifics, maybe someone can shed some light on this.
(I think Qualcomm is the winner here too?? as those have had this feature in Sony Ericsson Xperia and Motorola in the past)

thanks this is really good news for me.. I just want some more information as to which version has the ant+ support. I just sold my wahoo rflkt and bluesc. I replaced it with a garmin edge 500 and was thinking about getting the footpod for running so this will be great if I don't need a key. This was one of the biggest problems for me switching to android that I had to switch out all my sensors because they aren't supported yet.
I emailed them via thisisant page asking which variants had ant and they said all variants. This was a week ago. I have N900T.

That is exactly the story of my life. I had to buy a stupid OTG cable and mini USB ant dongle. All which made it impossible to put the note in the mount that I had.
Also heart rate monitor is normal bluetooth which only lasted 4 weeks (Ant would last 6 months).
So far it seems that N9005 is 100% confirmed. Also this is what makes sense (looking at the chip manufacturer).
I am yet to see any info on N9000.
EDIT: Randpost (post above this one) got an email from THISISANT clamming that all versions support ANT+. This would even better news if its true. Lets hope we see more confirmation.

Sorry Willcor, but you have some stuff mixed up.
Polar doesn't have anything that is ANT+ compatible. The have either Bluetooth or thier own "WIND" system.
Anything that has ANT+ written on it and is a sensor of some sort should be compatible with Note III.
Here is a comprehensive list of ANT+ sensors. Just fillter at the side, for what you want (eg cycling).
http://www.thisisant.com/directory
ANT+ is in this way different from BT. If you have say Endomondo app or Strava (or many other) apps from appstore then no mater what ANT HRM you use, it will work. ITs not connecting directly to the app, but rather to the ANT service on android which is universal.
Ray Maker of DC Rainmaker on Twitter reports ANT+ is coming to the Samsung Galaxy S4 through an October Firmware update and will be supported on all flagship devices going into the future
dcrainmakerblog
"We will support ANT+ in the Galaxy S4 in a firmware update coming in October" - Samsung (at the ANT+ Symposium)

Hell, got full set of ANT+ device and bougut a BTLE HR for note3... complete fail
And the saddest part for you wm2001 is that BTLE support is still veru buggy (no reconnect after disconnect) and most of the sports app dont yet support it. I think so far only runtastic and ipbike.

Since the ANT Radio Service is unified across all phones with ANT including the Sony Xperia line I'd say there's a decent number of good reviews on it so far, but let's see what the Note 3 people say for awhile.

There was always android beam, but S Beam used to utilize WiFi direct which allowed me to transfer a movie of like 1.5 GB in 1 minute. I don't think android beam uses that.

Android Beam uses Bluetooth, which is painfully slow compared to S Beam which used WiFi-Direct. My s4 has S Beam, and it's an incredibly useful feature, especially considering how large photo and video files are getting now. I can't find where to enable S Beam on my Note 5 (Verizon) which is a huge disappointment, and the only problem I have with my new device. So Beam is orders of magnitude faster than Android Beam. All of the hardware is onboard, so I'm hoping it's an oversight that'll be fixed soon.
Wifi direct is present inside wifi menu near MORE button and works great. I guess they just dropped the name of S beam to avoid confusion with android beam.

Yup, no more s beam. Wifi direct gets the job done for large files or lots of pics though.
