Tab 7.7 old and discontinued? Should I buy it?

Thinking of buying the 7.7 but is has no jb support. It it old and discontinued?
Verizon has it on clearance CPO sellout for $279.
Should I just get the Nexus 7 with jb?

In my opinion, Tab 7.7 is great device until now. It is still unclear whether jb will come for p6800 or not.
but as you can see the support from samsung itself isn't that great, so I would suggest to make an alternative

Personally I have both devices and both provide me with enjoyable experiences. Is the 7.7 EOL? Probably but it's still a very worthwhile device especially viewing mp4 movies and any other visually-rich activities where space is an issue.
If you have the $280 to spare I'd pull the trigger. (You save FAR more than I did when I bought mine many months ago when it first came out!)

Same decision here and I chose the 7.7 after comparing to the Nexus. Even though its old and discontinued it still blows away the nexus IMHO. The screen on the 7.7 is miles better and you have the SD card slot. Also I am running JB 4.2.2 flashed following information from these very forums.

Which ROM? How's it running? Just curious. CWM protects from the brickbug so was just waiting.....

Old, maybe, but other than the Toshiba try to find another tablet with an almost 8" Super AMOLED+

Ended up getting the Galaxy Tab 2 7" at Frys for $219 with JB installed. Saved $150.

Hope it will give you much pleasure despite the fact that it is a low-end device, opposed to the high-end 7.7

GT 7.7 is better built quality than Nexus 7.
it's supposed to get JB as Samsung Thailand says.
but when this happen, already Android 5.0 will be out, and maybe 7.0 inch tablets with Full HD displays will out also, so if you like software upgrades fast and clean, go to nexus cause Samsung sucks at it, or wait until Full HD tablets with Android 5.0 is out.

it's still a great tablet. such excellent build quality, expandable memory, screen is amazing people comment on it all the time, option to get a pay as you go sim, keep it in there and get data as needed on a month to month basis, still quite fast with ICS. JB would be nice but not 100% needed plus there are some ROM options that provide JB like features.
im flying overseas this summer, right now there is no other tablet i would want with me. i can put multiple movies on here and watch them, and enjoy wifi wherever, and if really needed get wireless data also. what else could you ask for? well a nexus device with this kind of build quality, expandable memory and this screen. but that is not happening yet.

Dude ... the screen is really enough reason to buy that awesome device .. the only tab with Super AMOLED Plus screen !
and btw .. Samsung announced that it's going to have Jelly Bean update in Q2 i guess

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3

I heard this from a friend and I want to make sure that this information is correct. Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 coming out soon? if so when and where can I find this info so I can read it for my self?
I also have the Original Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (WiFi) and I am running 4.0.4 and I am wanting to know if and when 4.1.2 or Jelly Bean will be officially released for the Original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I do not want to root or download a Non Official rom to my tab.

I do not know about Galaxy Tab 3. But I do know that the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not included in the list of devices Samsung plan to update to Jelly Bean. So ICS 4.0.4 is the last update you are getting. If you want Jelly Bean, however, you will have to root your tab and install custom rom. I also use the original tab and in addition to ICS I also run 4.1.2 and the current Jelly Bean 4.2.2, both courtesy of an XDA Developer, Pershoot.

(Deleted. I misread the thread.)

There was some mentioning a couple of weeks back that this GT-P8200 got its BT certification and meanwhile also the WIFI one http://www.tabletblog.de/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-plus-wlan/
They even claimed it could become announced together with the Galaxy S IV
lets see whether and when it appears - still thinking of to sonys xperia Tablet Z or the Asus TF700 as an alternative (with the latter being a bit rusty)

hopefully soon

I have no inside information about a pending release of a Tab 3, or anything else for that matter, but I noticed something interesting at the AT&T store yesterday. They have a special going on right now if you buy a Samsung S3 phone for $199, (with a contract), you can also purchase a Tab 2 10.1, (with a SIM card) for an additional $199. Not a bad deal if you want a Tab 2. I am sure that the S3 will enjoy a big price cut as soon as the S4 hits the stores, however.
We all know that the S3 will soon be replaced by the S4 and retailers are probably looking for ways to clear out the existing inventory. The same might be going on with the Tab 2. This could be an indication that the Tab 3 is on the way as well. Time will tell.

almost a month later and still no news on a new 10' flagship tablet from Samsung. The same old news get recycled every now and then but nothing tangible.
Hopefully after the launch of the S4 we start hearing real "new" news about a octo core powered retina all sing all dance tablet that is available in the not too distant future
don't want to wait till x-mas ...

I was hoping to hear something similar by now, too... my guess (hope) was that details would start to slip out about a new uber-powered GTab and a possible release date when the S4 was ready - but the lack of noise makes me wonder if a Nexus 10 is in my near future instead. The 16 and 32GB versions are in stock... wait a couple more weeks for some news, or 2 days for a new toy from Google on my doorstep... decisions, decisions.

galaxy note = galaxy tab + stylus???

http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/29/4281278/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-announcement
Looks like they're basically just updating the look of the Tab 2 7" to match the Galaxy lineup hardware design. Almost identical specs to last year's model. And no mention of a 10" model.
I have the Tab 2 7" and don't want a much bigger device (although I could live with 8".) But I was at least hoping for a resolution bump. Hopefully the Nexus 7.7 rumors will pan out.

Is it me or are the specs for the Galaxy Tab 3 super underwhelming. Dual core 1.2 ghz? Thats what I have my 1st gen galaxy tab running at lol.

i bought an att samsung galaxy tab 10.1 sgh i497 yesterday and im dissapointed that it doesnt have built in phone and messaging, there is a mod on this forum for the older model which i forget the model number they listed but its 3g, the one i have is LTE , i hope someone develops a phone mod for this i really wanted it to be a phablet

Here is what you are looking for

well at least the Samsung galaxy tab 3 7 inch has been released and it is a little less wide than the tab 2. micro usb charger is nice and aluminum bumpers, other than that everything has already been said.
I am curious when developers will post their findings as I am not pleased with the stock rom. Wifi kicks out after being idle.
SM-T210R is the model number

Here are some pics with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1!

Am I missing something or is it basically the same tablet we have but with a different processor and IR blaster?

2013 Note 10.1?

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a Note 10.1. I currently have a Note 2 and I love it but I'm starting to think the screen size isn't enough for me anymore.
Is there any news about an upcoming 2013 version of the 10.1? I just dont want to buy one if the new version is coming in a couple of months. TIA.

Next month marks the one year since release of this tablet. I'm pretty sure an update is around the corner but haven't heard anything official. With that said if you can get a good price on it I've seen it on sale for like 350 I think it's still worth it.

rumor i heard was 8 core with a 12" screen. if true i don't think i'd be able to fight the urge to get one! i love my windows tablets, but windows just isn't very touch friendly and i can't stand metro (none of the apps i use are modern ui based so that's the biggest reason for not being touch friendly).
amazon has some refurbs for $300. i'm trying to stay away b/c i really don't need the temptation. dad's birthday, parent's anniversary, daughter's bday are all coming up in a few weeks.

First off, I love my Note 10.1. I bought it 2 days after release and still think it's the best tablet out there. However, the 2560x1600 HD display, and extra screen real estate are SO tempting. Unfortunately, I can't justify another tablet. A nice telescope is actually higher priority right now.
http://bgr.com/2013/06/10/samsung-galaxy-note-12-2-specs-release-date/
If you can wait, it may not be too long till the new one releases. Also, the price of the 10.1 might drop when the 12.2 comes out.

What do you think about the Ativ Q?

I certainly hope that now that 4.4 supports Ir blasters we will see custom ROMs that support it as well. Idc of Samsung doesn't update to 4.4 but I sure hope the community does

Maybe next year when android 5 updates come to the galaxy s5 comes out we will see a 4.4 kitkat on our tablet. Priority will always be new phones and tablets. But im pretty sure we will get it some day. Also I think there is a problem with incompatibility from snote from note 3..a lot of complains will happen if the note 10.1 upgrade with it and people cang open files

Which model are you guys talking about?
I have a GN GT-N8013 ( 64G GNote 10.1 original ) and am still waiting for Samsung to come out with 4.3.
Am happy with the basic note but would really love multiple user support.

It's not likely the 8013 will see anything beyond 4.3.

Call it insider knowledge.

Note 2 and SGS3 having similar internals are supposed to get upto Android 4.4 Kitkat..so why not?
But having said that both these phones have only just started getting 4.3 few days back in some regions, so who knows Kit Kat can take couple of years to come to Note N8000, when Google release android 5
Its really a shame on Samsung, they should only release a limited number of devices each year for which they can release timely updates..

As it sits right now, we are 3 OS versions back. We will get an update in the (near?) future. Will we get 4.4? Probably. Will it be before the end of 2014? Right now it seems unlikely.

I'm living in the Netherlands and my Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 runs on Android 4.1.2. (The latest available version in the Netherlands)
When will the N8010 get android 4.2 or higher.

I dont think samsung is considering an update for the tablet. If it was the case we would have seen at least a couple test roms.
But i still didnt give up on wishful thinking.
Anyways if this tablet dont see any updates, I will never buy a samsung again unless it is nexus.

They've already said it will get 4.3 and 4.4, we'll get 4.3 sometime before the end of the year. 4.4 would be like before summer lol.

i wont fall into the same trap again. thats the reason holding me back from buying the note 2014.

Sorry guys if this is going a *little* bit off-topic (I'm going to talk about Android 4.3, rather than 4.4, but hey, still about an update for our awesome yet forgotten 10.1....)
It's a quote from a reply on other thread, by me.
I recently spoke to a Samsung rep (Samsung's website live chat) and with a Samsung rep (in person). Both said:
"it will be updated, at least to Android 4.3, but we cannot tell you when".
So I'm pretty sure we are getting 4.3 at some point. Heck, if the Note 2 and S III got it, it's only reasonable that our Note 10.1 gets it. It was the flagship tablet of its (short) time, such as the Note 2 and S III being flagships/high-end. Everyone's been saying that Samsung won't update it to force us go for the Note 10.1 2014 edition, so why did the Note 2 and Galaxy S III get the update (ok, ok, Galaxy Gear blabla)? Wouldn't they force you to go for a Note 3 and Galaxy S IV? You get my point.
So, be prepared to wait (wait... wait... wai...), and official news about the updates *cough kitkat* are coming.
My guess is: Android 4.3 and no Android 4.4, unfortunately but thankfully.

[Q] Brand new note 2012 or refurbished 2014?

Hi,
So after a really long search through every single tablet on the world its only this last choice left to make.
Brand new sealed box Galaxy Note 2012 version (16GB)
vs
refurbished Galaxy Note 2014 (16GB) + extra 50$ more expensive (400 instead of 350).
I'm not willing the pay for the full price of the 2014, the question is, is it worth to get the newer but in refurbished condition?
The only big differences I see between those two are the better screen and the new software.. everything else looks pretty the same..
What do you say?
I'd like to hear your opinion as an owner please,
Thanks,
Jordan.

As an owner of the 2012 version, I am waiting for a good deal to sell mine now so that I can get the 2014. Samsung has a bad rap when it comes to updating their pricier android devices, and upgrading hardware in order to secure the validity of the device is one of the only options left for the 2012.
I'm not counting on them releasing the rumored 4.4,2 update for the n80xx line at all.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk

If I were you, I'll never touch refurbished stuffs.
But still the choice is yours.
May be 1 other alternatives is just wait until the 2014 edition price drops

I don't have an answer for you but i can tell you I wouldn't get too hung up on which version of android it has. I am constantly updating my phone with newest ROMs and in my experience the difference between jellybean and kit kat or even ICS aren't very noticeable. I just bought a new 2012 version and so far it seems fine to me. I didn't even look at the new one though because i want going to spend over 350.
FYI, in case you didn't discover this, amazon has white ones for 350 and Best buy has gray ones for 350. Not sure if BB has free shipping though.

Thank you all for replying,
That was kinda what I was thinking,
Another question,
Are the ROMs available, still active? do they still updating their self? like atleast once a month?
I'm not an addicted user who changes ROM every week, but I know that atleast for the beggining I would wanna have the option to play with it alil,
Whats the latest official ROM samsung has provided to the device and whats the latest there is out there on the ROM list (ones with touchwiz)?
Thanks again.

There isn't a huge community of users for either tablet as its rather expensive. But even the 2012 edition is one of the most powerful tablets on the market today.
Samsung doesn't do the best at releasing updates but they have promised we will see 4.4.2 on the 2012 edition this year. Tho to be fair the amount of difference I expect it to make is near zero. The only functionality the tablet is missing is wireless display options. The only thing I wish I could change is running touch wiz.
Biggest reason I can see to go with the 2014 is the regular charger. The 2012 has a proprietary connection that isn't easy to find replacements for.

So........ what did you decide?

I have both versions and can honestly say that apart from my 2014 having the air command feature there is no real benefits from it. There are not many customs roms out for either of them and what there is don't offer anything better than stock imo.

Samsung Galaxy 2012 (GT-N8000) no doubt!
When you wanna get best tablet by my opinion buy this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...UTF8&qid=1397148945&sr=8-5&keywords=note+10.1 or whenever you want. When do you don't need calling functions get 2012 GT-N8013 it's cheaper version of Samsung Galaxy GT-N8000. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 is still too expensive. And 2012 have better support, upcoming KitKat 4.4.2 and a lot of custom roms!
But it's only my opinion... Everything is on you! :highfive:

I picked up this one a few days ago, and so far its been great, no issues. To me it was a pretty good deal.
