GT-P6210 Missing IR & Kies ICS issue - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Hi all,
Couple of questions if you can help at all?
I opted to buy the Galaxy Tab Plus as a wedding present for my brother on the basis of it having an IR Blaster. However, the one I received doesn't have it and it is definitely the above model. I've bought it through a UK website (Pixmania), checking bothered US and UK variants they both should have it. The only country I've found that doesn't have it is Canada and that's adhoc!
Next, in my attempt to update to ICS as well Samsung Kies isn't going beyond the latest firmware for 3.2, which is making me think even more it's an international model as I believe ICS has been rolled it to all of Europe.
I've raised it with Samsung and Pixmania in the hope of resolving, but thought I'd ask the forum if anyone else has had similar issues.
Cheers.

Hi
I got the model from future shop in canada but we don't get ISC update officially for the gt-p6210

Thats the strangest thing, Canada is the only country that I've found through the web that has these missing.
Annoyingly I've know no idea how to check what region it belongs too!
I've raised it with both Samsung and Pixmania and will report my findings.

The IR blaster is region specific and is also missing from some European and Asian models too as its not compatible with their electronics, its not just Canada. The only way to be sure you get one that has it is to get a U.S. P6210.

Nope, The Asian models have it too.. the official international model is - GT-P6200 and it has IR blaster as well..
Canada is not the only country left without ICS, even Australia hasnt received official ICS support yet..
but it doesnt matter, we have XDA to help us out for that..

[Q] Warranty For I9020A?

Samsung USA does not recognize my IMIE and the phone is no longer showing on the site. I tried to register it with no success so i called customer care and was told my IMIE isn't in the system, any advice?
Isn't that an canadian version, the Rogers one?
Yeah i'm using it on AT&T. The phone was on the site a couple of days before i got mine.

Mine is the same version so, I will try registering maybe it has to be done through Samsung Canada.
i tried but it requires a Canadian address

Then Samsung USA wouldn't cover the warranty, since it wasn't sold in USA market.
yeah i was afraid of that
I bought mine from Best Buy in Canada but can't register it on Samsung Canada's site. The model number i9020a does not exist in their database...
so this issue is not just a samsung usa problem

Just registered my i9020a but had to call Samsung Canada and do it over the phone. You get 3 months additional warranty when you register.

À swedish guy from asus that is active in asus threads on most big forums in Sweden told us to NOT wait for 3G version. Hes very carefull and always use words like "if it comes" and "a potential 3G version".

Afaik, there was never a 3G version announced in the first place.
When ASUS demoed the tablet as CES, they mentioned 3G. A bunch of sites have also said that 3G will be coming after the initial launch, but no-one has any dates or anything.
Tentatively Q3 for UK AND/OR 2-3 months after the Wifi release.
Digitech.ch was supposed to get them by late June but now they are showing as mid July.
3G model does exist. But you may end up waiting way in August to get it. Almost the same for Galaxy Tab 10.1 too.

[Q] What is the difference between GT-N8000 and GT-N8013

Apparently they're not the same because I've seen the same model number for 16GB and 32GB, can anyone actually clarify the difference, because there is no documented changes that I've seen published by Samsung. It's a bit of a black spot.
Thanks!
EDIT: I think N8000 is 3G and N801X is Wi-Fi can anyone confirm this?
Confimed
Yep, N8000 is 3g & wifi, N8013/10 is wifi only.
Most of the roms available are for the N8000 so, personally, I got an N8000. Like the fact I can use the 3g as well when in an area devoid of wifi... I live in Australia, this is pretty much the norm - no wifi...

So far, no one knows... It used to be 10 vs. 13 was no IR vs. IR blaster, but both have it now...
Once someone figures out the real differences, I'll whip up an N8010 device tree for CM.

Answer straight from Samsung.....
I was wondering the same thing so I emailed Samsung Australia, this is the reply:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
The N8000 is a 3G variant of the Galaxy Note Tab, you are able to make phone calls and browse the internet using a network provider of your choice. Please be aware that there are two major different models with the Galaxy Note Tab, there is the GT-N8000 which works on the 900 band, this means that Optus and Vodafone will work and network providers under them, and there is the GT-N8000T which works on the 850 band, this means that Telstra and the network providers under them will work.
The N8010 is a WiFi only tablet. This tablet is unable to make phone calls unlike its 3G variant.
The N8013 is an overseas model of the WiFi variant and has not been released in Australia.
I hope this has been some help to you.
If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Samsung Customer Care on 1300 362 603.
Thank you for contacting Samsung.

That is indeed helpful, thanks
Sent from my rooted potato using xda premium
A friend of mine got his galaxy note 10.1 from states before it was available in Canada. He has a 16 GB model and it is N8013. I got mine two months later in Canada and it is a 32GB model N8010. (haven't seen 16 GB variants yet)
I did a comparison between the two. The obvious differences are: updates are available at least a month sooner for the N8013 models before they are available for the N8010 ones, out of the box N8013 came with some apps like Kno textbooks that were not found on N8010 model out of the box, the screens on N8013 model has a much better color saturation and produces deeper colors than N8010 model, and finally the N8013 models weigh noticeably more than N8010 models which can be a result of the materials used in making the two. N8013 has a much better built quality than N8010 models.
Hope this helps.

I agree, Samsung's naming convention is so confusing. To top it off, they release so many models every year.

N8013 Bluetooth Keyboard Fitment
Sorry to open up this old thread but I have a related question. I am thinking of purchasing a bluetooth keyboard case off eBay for the N8013 but the Chinese seller says it will not work with the N8013 version, only the N8000 version. The tablet snaps into a plastic form fitting case that appears to be the correct shape. The plastic part rotates so can use the tablet in either portrait or landscape mode. Could it be software related? I thought if something worked with the N8000 and/or N8010 versions it would work with the N8013. Is this an invalid assumption? I cannot think of why this wouldn't work. Anyone know why it wouldn't?
Tried to post a link but haven't had enough posts yet.

Canadian Galaxy Note 3 Users

Welcome fellow Canadians!
Seeing as the Galaxy Note 3 is going to be released in Canada very shortly (October 4th), I figured we should get some discussion going on where you're buying, and any speculations to price points.
I just got off of a chat with Telus, regarding an email I had received, offering $50 off a device when you sign a contract, OR, stay month-to-month. So you can save a bit of money for those who are purchasing the phone outright, or even signing up for a new contract. You need to call a special sales line: 1-877-279-3900
Also, while she couldn't officially confirm, the rep did tell me that she would strongly suggest I go to a corporate store on Friday.. Obviously this is just in case there are shipping delays (doubtful) but I think that it's quite safe to say that it's coming out on Friday!
Currently, Wind Mobile is the only carrier to officially announce their pricing, but I think that it would be safe to say that the other carriers will be in line (roughly) with Wind.
- WIND 40: $449
- WIND 30: $549
- WIND 33: $549
- WIND 20: $649
- Outright: $749
I was also able to "confirm" with the rep, that the price point for Telus would probably fall around $799, so that isn't too far off of Wind's pricing.
Discuss anything related to the Canadian launch of the Note 3! :laugh:
All I really want to know is if the bootloader will be locked like the US variants or did we escape it again like with the S4?

I just checked out Mobilesyrup's review of the Galaxy S2X and it had an unlocked bootloader. If the S4 had an unlocked one as well, I'd be very hopeful that the Note 3 is unlocked as well, only time will tell! 4 more days..

Which International Model Works Best In Canada N900 or N9005?
Hi Guys
As the title states, which model works best in Canada specifically on Bell, the N900 or N9005 model? Also will I get full LTE with the N9005 model? I've tried researching them and keep finding different answers. Sorry if this topic has been covered prior. Just sold my Xperia Z Ultra C6833 to jump over to the N3. Or should I wait for the Canadian release on Bell which I believe is this Friday Oct.4th?
Thanks Again

Im having the same problem myself. Wondering which models will work on Rogers with LTE? Its difficult to understand the band and frequency numbers. I have never had to research a phone like this before I bought it. Some of the numbers match and some dont, does that mean it'll work? Or does it have to have every number matching?
But ya, my question is the same, will an unlocked N9005 LTE work on Rogers?
You can't quote me on this, but if you're looking for LTE, then the only version hat works would be the Qualcomm N9005. I believe the N9000 is the octa core 3G international version.

Hey AllGamer, nice to see you back from the Galaxy S2 days
I found the Wind Mobile pricing from Mobilesyrup: http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/09/28/w...laxy-note-3-on-october-4th-heres-the-pricing/
Bell also announced their pricing today as well, off contract: $799.95 (http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/10/01/bell-samsung-galaxy-note-3-to-cost-799-95-outright/). Which is right around the pricing that the CSR told me yesterday.
Does anyone know for sure, 100%, if the T-Mobile version of the Note 3 will work on Wind? Normally this is the case, but I ask because the T-Mobile version is the snapdragon model whereas Wind is going to be carrying the Exynos model.
I really want the dev support, and from what i gather, dev support is going to be none-existent for the Exynos version? Or is this maybe not going to be as accurate as it is/was for the S4? Or am i wrong about the S4 here too? I just remember reading and hearing that samsung doesn't release source code for the kernel etc for the Exynos chips - which i don't understand fully because I did read a few posts about how samsung had released the source for the Note 3 (or maybe it was the Note 10.1 2014) with the Exynos chip...
can anyone shed light on these issues for me?
Specifically, four questions:
1. T-Mobile Snapdragon phone on Wind Mobile? (Or any other snapdragon phones on Wind?)
2. How does the dev support look like it will be for the Exynos version that Wind Mobile is going to be selling?
3. Does the source code that samsung released for the Exynos model of either the note 3 or note 10.1 2014 mean that they are releasing more source code than they used to for their Exynos chips? Or was this stuff all released for other chips too?
4. Do you guys know if there will be a way to purchase the Note 3 outright from wind if you are not going to be on a new contract? I'm on wind already and i want to keep my existing plan because it's a better deal than any plan they have had since they offered this one, but i obviously want to buy this phone friday... i know with the S3 i had to activate a new plan, but of course then i just threw out the new sim card - worry here is that one wind guy told me that for the first month they may not even allow outright purchases only purchases on the wind tab, in which case i couldn't just throw out the sim card and use my old one could i?

It seems to be $749 off contract, no idea about them selling them only after one month though.

I imported my N900 as soon as I could
I'm on Bell, everything is perfect. I have LTE coverage in my area but I can live without, no lte mean better battery and that what I need.
I did the same thing in the past for my Galaxy S4, I imported the Octa core too.

[Q] OPO Network Supported all over India?

I know that the international model is supported in India. (Airtel and Vodafone)
But I'm thinking of importing this phone from China. They have a different kind of network some TD-WCDMA which is not supported in India. Will the Chinese model work in Indian 3G? I've asked around the OPO forums and nobody seems to know. I've messaged their support team but they haven't replied. Any ideas about this?
"They have a different type of network..." I think you just answered your own question. Plus the fact they aren't releasing it in India you're probably better off getting the international version or getting another phone in India. You guys are going crazy for this phone!
