[Q] APT-X HD Bluetooth Audio

What is the story with APT-X? I am starting to see bluetooth headphones and other "receivers" supporting this, but I am not finding any information on which phones, mp3 players, or other "transmitters" support APT-X. Can anybody shed any light on this subject?

Would like to know this as well.
No point in getting a new phone if this isn't supported, at least I will have reasonable audio quality through bluetooth if I get a headset + phone with this.

apt-X is a lossless codec for bluetooth audio, MUCH better than A2DP.
If htc (for example) want´s to pimp a phone with it, they have to pay licence fee to CSR. As there are only a few bt receiver with apt-X, they will not pay and implement it (instead they get crappy "beats")
I think, apt-X is only a kernel-driver, no hardware, but not sure about this.
If so, a kernel chef could cook some additional codec in, but this is not open source codec...
I would LOVE an apt-X enhanced bt kernel for my sensation!

[Q] How does this compare with the Samsung Tab 10.1v?

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.

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.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 is banned in Australia

Bring out Galaxy Tab II already!

Meh. It doesn't stop me from ordering it online.

also, why would you want a galaxy tab 10.1 now? its tegra2, everybody's waiting for kal-el now.

apple was afraidd of the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and 8.9 so he's doing a process in europe too but only in germany already

Everybody? If you're only interested in the processor, then by all means the Transformer2 is the way to go. I had a Qualcomm HTC Jetstream for nine days before I returned it and the UI was a bit faster but the Tab was equal in browsing and faster at video. If weight, form factor, build quality, support, audio and video codecs, display, and better drivers mean anything the G-Tab 10.1 is still a great choice. I have a Wi-Fi and am waiting for a 3G from the UK. For what a tablet's supposed to do the Teg is fine and Samsung's better optimized s/w helps its performance a lot.

Why post this in the Galaxy S II section? The more relevant thing to post would have been the changes Samsung has to make to TouchWiz in order for them to sell their devices in the Netherlands, as that directly affects the Galaxy S II(source: Samfirmware tweet). Galaxy Tab != Galaxy S II.

But of course you can get it in Germany too. Without problems. It is only not allowed for Samsung to import it

I don't think that this will matter so much to Sammy as they can make a variation of the tab 10.1 and it would be legal for retail sale in OZ. Plus Apple is scared of Samsung, i don't think that they will be able to stop every tablet that Sammy will produce in future. So this is pretty much a speed bump for Sammy

Maybe you're right. In any case, I've only tried out the Transformer1 and wasn't particularly impressed with its performance. Then again, might be possible that the SGS2 has spoilt me.

I need help with buying a Galaxy Tab.

I like samsung but i really hate that they release a thousand models in a series, which is very confusing for average customers.
I want to buy a galaxy tab that that has 3g connection. I found 2 models online, which are GT-P75xx and GT-P51xx. What is the differences between them? From what i've seen, P51xx model receives a lot more support in xda.
Thanks

if it is better for gaming 7500 (Tegra 2), but if not then it is a bit newer 5100 .. although the game is also on it will go bad
sorry for my english

You're comparing the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 2. Specs are relatively the same between the two devices, but the original will be better for gaming with the Tegra chip. I believe the original may also have a slightly better screen, but otherwise, they are fairly similar. The P5100 will probably be supported longer though since it was released about six months ago compared to over a year ago for the original tablet.

If you want 3g tab2 so only two models:
3100 7 inches
5100 10 inches
The 7xxx is tab1 not two

Any diffs between Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 from 2014 and one from 2015?

Are there any tech spec differences between the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 manufactured in 2014 vs the ones from 2015?
Thanks!

No, they're identical.
The only difference between various NotePro's is the hardware between models. (P905, P900, A907, etc)

Thanks
