Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

Just received my 7 Plus wifi. So far I like it, although there doesnt seem to be a lot of interest from xda or other forums. Since it was just released today, I suppose I need to be a bit patient. This is the closest forum so I am adding this post here.
I really need a root and adhoc fix so I can use it with my ET4G and sell my ipad!. Also I want to hide the status bar. I may dig into it attempting the 10.1 or 8.9 root, but I have a bit of reading to do on it first.

Hi there! Can you provide us with a system dump from your tablet? We can help with rooting.

+1 on this , this question is asked allot without any answer and also the benifit of the infrared port , but @the OP are you sure it is the 7plus it is not released yet
Edit : i found the link http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...333M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320309207&sr=8-2

I ordered it expecting it in about 10 more days or so. Lo and behold I got a shipping notice yesterday.
I have read that it uses the tegra2 processor, but I see no evidence of that. And now I attempt to find it on the web and it is nowhere to be seen.
I will definitely work on getting a system dump tonight after work. I might ask for some help onthis.

The main thing is that you are helping us to get ICS on SGS2, and I Thank you for that. I really hope that you will get us the system dump.

From what i have read, all i need to do is get the sdk installed along with kies, and adb copy system(yea i know, not exact command) One question:do i need to factory reset to protect my personal data?
I may even get this done before tonight at work

I tried a 1280x720 mkv encode with h264 part10 (avc1) with a AC3 audio track and the default video player sliced through it like bu-bu-butter even after fast forwards etc. Oh and it looked beautiful.
If thats not what you wanted let me know.

So now that the 7 plus has had its system dumped, who is gonna help me root this thing this weekend?

Very nice man.
Congrats on your purchase.
I want to sell my 10.1 but would like a bigger screen than the 7 plus but with Exynos.

Thanks, I like it, but I hope development catches on like the acer iconia a100. I would have liked to opt for the 7.7, but I read its not coming to the states and the pricetag will likely be heftier.
I bought it thinking it had a tegra2 but was elated to find it has the exynos.

I think, if I weren't already awaiting the HD SAMOLED+ awesomeness of the 7.7" tab, I'd probably sell my 8.9 now and get a 7 Plus. I've been saying all along that the Exynos is a beast. Tegra2 is a huge disappointment for me...
P.S. I've seen preorders from Expansys and Mobile City of ~$600 - 700 for the 7.7 import. Have my 3G 7.7 preordered now from Expansys. Oh baby! Can't wait!

Avadon no worky on Note with ICS... Any ideas?

I've been working with Spiderweb games on trying to get their RPG "Avadon: Black fortress" working on my Note, and despite others being able to buy it on the market I'm unable to.
I finally figured out it seems to be ICS related. GB Notes can buy it but ICS Notes cant.
According to the correspondence below they seem to think its "screen size" related.
does anyone know a hack that can let me buy this game? (I have root...)
Here is the last (somewhat disappointing correspondence I had with Spiderweb games support)
Hi again,
It's great that you figured out what the issue was. However, Avadon runs fine on ICS tablets, so the problem is not ICS compatibility. The only restriction we've placed on the Avadon Google Play listing is reported screen size - only devices that report screen sizes of "large" or "xlarge" to Google Play can access the listing and download the app. My only thought as far as possibilities go is that somehow the ICS upgrade changed the reported screen size of the Note from "large" to "normal" or even "small" (there are four sizes: small, normal, large, and xlarge). This is sort of unlikely, since the Note should not be classified as a "normal" or "small"-sized screen as far as Android devices go, but there's really nothing else I can think of which would cause this to happen. We won't be allowing "normal" or "small"-sized screens to access the Avadon listing because most of the devices allowed would not be able to play the game. So, I really am terribly sorry about this, but we can't do much to fix this issue on our end.
We regret the inconvenience.

I have two friends with n7000 notes that have never heard of your game so never searched for it in their phones, one also has ICS the other has GB.
The ICS phone can't buy avadon but the GB one can.
Does avadon support ICS?

Wow, I would have put money on someone knowing some sneaky hack to make it work... :-(
Is really a weird one seeing as it is support under GB, supported under ICS, supported under a GB note but just that specific combo of ICS on the note it isn't supported...?

Why not just backup your ICS rom, flash to GB, buy/install the app, back up the app with Titanium Backup, and then flash back to your ICS backup and restore the app with TB.

I wasn't able to install it on GB either. And I read it's Android 3.0+ and 7"+. So maybe a dpi change does the trick.

I bought it as part of the humble bundle awhile back. It is version 1.0.6 and it installs fine on both GB and ICS. It downloads from the humble bundle app not google play.

I think he means to download an app that changes the dpi. Maybe it will trick the app store into letting the game show up.

Ha cool, we figured out what it was... Samsung have buggered up the way it reports screen size to google Play in ICS:
Hello again,
We confirmed from our analytics software that the ICS Galaxy Note is now reporting its screen size as "normal" instead of "large." We inquired about this to the Android team at Google and they think it's a mistake on Samsung's part when they prepared the ICS update for the Note. What we want to do is use a setting that actually allows us to specify which devices can access Avadon: The Black Fortress by minimum screen resolution instead of by these size labels which are sort of fuzzy. This setting exists in Android, but is not supported yet by Google Play. However, there is a chance that it will be supported by Google Play in the future, and at that point we'll be able to reconfigure the APK settings to filter devices based on screen resolution instead of this size value.
I wouldn't recommend trying to hack around this. Since you are obviously a very devoted fan and since you've really helped us out in figuring out what's happening with the Note, we'd like to give you a free copy of Avadon. This copy won't update with Google Play, but if you don't run into any issues on the Note, then you won't need to worry about updates.
Hopefully the ICS Note will be able to purchase Avadon in the not-too-far future! Thanks very much for your help and feedback.

ICS flash?

Is it true that flash doesn't work on ICS. I plan on using the NFL Sunday Ticket on my tablet this year, and I believe it uses flash. If ICS doesn't work with flash then I'm thinking I don't want to upgrade till they get that worked out. Can someone inform me that what I heard is right or wrong?

You heard wrong. Both ICS AND Jellybean are able to use Flash.
The controversy stems from Adobe no longer publishing Flash in the Play Store for 4.1+ devices, and no longer providing support or updates to any devices.
Regardless, it works, will continue to work, and by this time next year Flash, both mobile and desktop, will be a thing of the past anyway. Adobe is run by morons.

I know adobe is only doing bug updates now. My friend just got a nexus with ICS and is having trouble playing any flash video on it. Do you have hands on experience with it in ics on the galaxy tab plus? Here an article from last November about it. It still won't let me post links. So you will need to add the http and www and the beginning.

Just worked it out today. And only found out when things from my pc started to pop up on my phone and note. Then sent back. If a dummy like me can do that anyone should be capable.

I got the dongle a couple of weeks ago. Most of the time it links up easy, sometimes it's a bear. You have to follow the instructions to the letter to get it to work. If it doesn't link up, unplug it from power and HDMI and let it sit a few minutes. Then try again following the instructions precisely.
It works pretty well when linked up. The video and audio are about 400 ms out of sync unless you use the stock video player. It must automatically correct for the lag. So yeah, Netflix and similar services play with the audio out of sync. Also, audio does not play unless it is part of a video stream. I had planned to use it to play music through my AV receiver, but no such luck. Too bad, it would be a killer app for that.

Mine works flawlessly after I used triangle away. Netflix is usually prefect with no lag. I use the modded version of hulu with no issues either after I turn my ad blocker off. I got my dongle from Samsung's web site.

Really. I wonder why mine isn't syncing? Maybe it's the actual content. Could you tell me what specific show you've played on Netflix that played in sync? Also, do you know what version of Netflix you have? What model Note you have and what Rom? I'm using an 8013 with the latest stock rom... One other thing, could you try playing "Rules Of Engagement" and seeing how that works? Maybe a link to modded Hulu?
Thanks!!! Maybe we can work out what's going on.

I watch dirty jobs and South park all the time, I haven't had time to get to rules of engagement though
it's worked on stock rooted 8013, and lately I've been on redemption by pimpmaneaton

Yep, I'm using one at home and one at work... bought 1/2 price with the coupon.

I just bought this model number today. Is this firmware just for people that bricked their phones? I rooted mine today without issue and hope that there will be all the other goodies available like on my samsung phone. The guy at Sprint told me that there were already custom roms and recovery, but I found out he was wrong.

Can't find it anywhere on that link. I wouldn't mind having a stock unrooted restore in hand. This is all that's preventing me from rooting.

MagicJack also works for free phone call's. They give you a random Florida or Wisconsin number when you make a call, and no one can call you back, but for free it's nice. I think if you have a MagicJack hardware device you can use that number with the APP and have in/out calls free over wifi. It works very well with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (unlimited data plan) on wifi tether
