[Q] Nexus s vs Galaxy S+

Hello.
I'm about to buy a new smartphone (im running Galaxy Spica right now), and I dont know what to buy..
I have a choice to buy Nexus S or Galaxy S + and I dont know which one is better for me. I am a student of computer science, and certainly I will be able to write software for Android. But I would like to record 720p videos..
Also, I found that on Nexus ICS have many problems right now..
Is there any chance for ICS on Galaxy S+?
Or maybe I should buy something else? My phone should be fast, have big screen (cuz I need to read pdf on this) also games should works fine.
I have about 250 euros.
Thanks for help

The P3100 has phone,SMS etc. I've recently swapped my galaxy note 2 for a tab 2 as my sole device. Use it as a phone or with wired, Bluetooth headset etc. Just class it as a big phone.
Note that the WiFi only version has no phone capability

Answered with some research.....

I did a lot of research, but it was not clear for me at all.
Yesterday I contacted a french hi-tech seller about the galaxy tab 2. The guy answered me that I cannot phone with it. If I want phone capability, I have to buy the note 10.
I'm sorry but the subject of "Can I use my tablet as a phone" is a tricky one, or at least not clear at all.
I'm planning to offer a tablet as a gift for my parents. So if I can phone with the Tab 2, then I'll buy it for Xmas. Otherwise, I have to find another one !
So guys here are saying that the galaxy tab 2 has phone capabilities. Without any modifications ? Any country ? It works out of the box ?

This is good news. Thank you very much to all of you.
The Tab 2 is much cheaper than the note 10, so it's a good option for me.
see ya,

P3100 is the 3G version of the 7 inch Tab 2 and it's totally different to Note 10, i hope you know this. It's not the 10 inch Tab 2 and there are 6 types of Tab 2: P3100, P3110, P3113, P5100, P5110 and P5113.

Depends on which "this tablet" model you have. What is your model number?

Waa, thanks for asking. I meant the 10 inch version.... 7 inch is too small for my old parents !!!! :silly:
Does it change anything ? The 10 inch version does not have phone capabilities ?

[Q] Help! My note 10.1 was bricked !!

hi,
I got a secondhand Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) with Android Honeycomb version a few days ago.
To upgrade android OS version from honeycomb to jellybean with official ROM,
I entered Odin mode and saw the product name was "GT-P7570".
Even if the product name shown on Odin mode was GT-P7570, I flashed the official ROM to my note 10.1,
because the model number displayed on the Note 10.1's "About device" menu was "GT-N8000".
Anyway. my secondary note 10.1 seems to be bricked. (dose not turn on, enter Odin mode, and see charging icon while charging with AC adapter.)
I heard that there are three types of brick mode ("hard brick", "soft brick", and "coma brick"), and I don't know what kind of brick my note 10.1 encountered. Are there any ways to fix my note 10.1 ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to know what the product is first . Honeycomb is a very old OS .
A guess this is either not the Note or its been flashed with old Tab Firmware or other non Note/Tab firmware .

Yeah, and somebody may have altered the build.prop to make it Seem as if its a Note 10.1. Sounds like Sounds like You May have been cheated. Does your Tab have a Pen in the bottom right corner? If not its a galaxy tab 2 10.1...

Sounds like a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Especially if it came with honeycomb.

Yep, the Note 10.1 came Natively with ICS. Never had honeycomb. That was the previous generation of tabs...

The seller said that the initial version sold in germany, (my second Note 10.1) has no S Pen slot.
At that time of purchase, the S Pen came with the note 10.1 separately.
When i search on the internet, in my case, there is no way to fix my Tap with software manner.
The only way for fixing is to change the mainboard of my TAP with extra charge :crying:
Should i call Samsung to fix my Tap or is there any other ideas?

I'd take it back and demand my money back as it was sold under fraudulent circumstances. No note 10.1 was sold without spen, that was its main selling point. If it happened here in Oz, if it wasn't either replaced or refunded I'd go to dept of consumer affairs.
At the very least they can pay to get it fixed as you have tried to upgrade on the premise that it was a Galaxy Note 10.1, not the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
If you bought it privately there may be not much you can do but if its a store I'd be making sure I got my money back.

Samsung will probably charge more than your not a Note is worth .
But if you can identify the product it may be possible to recover .

Samsung don't fix TAPS you need a plumber for that!
Couldn't resist.

When you flash firmware that was intended for another device,your device will be bricked.
Only solution is motherboard replacement.

help!!!

Please shelp me identify this tablets. Mine is the one above and shows GT-N8000 but it has no stylus. i flashed with GT-N8000 firmware now it wont boot up. please help moi identify

You got ripped off... If it has no pen its the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1... No note 10.1 was sold without the s-pen - it's the major selling point of the note 10.1...
If you flashed the note firmware on the gtab 2 then you will end up with a brick and may require the pit file to fix. If that doesn't work then its back to samsung....
Here's a link to a picture of the back and front of a galaxy tab2 10.1 - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_2_10_1_p5100-pictures-4567.php
And here's a link to the Note 10.1 - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-pictures-4573.php
You said it had gt-n8000 on the tablet. If this was in settings then it was because someone played around with the build.prop file which means they sold it under false pretenses.
If it said it on the outside then I believe its a chinese fake.... and heaven knows what firmware you would need to fix... You have a lovely paperweight though....
The back of your tab isn't from the Note 10.1, Across the top you should have a silver piece that goes across the top, and the camera aperture is supposed to be a square , not rounded....
Under the writing at the bottom - CE0168 there is a heap more writing, 3g, wifi and internal storage size.
The only other thing I can think of is you got a developement version of the GT-N8000, it came with 1 gb of ram and a dual core processor. There is no firmware available for this as it was only a prototype and didn't go to manufacture... Not even Samsung will fix this....

i agree with you bro, but there is a little difference with galaxy tab 10.1 p5100 and mine. mine has flash light behind and the speaker at the front aint joined to the calibrator. could you tell me the model number number of the one above .thanks bro. one luv

As I said, it's possibly the prototype made by Samsung in which case it is the N8000 BUT there is no official firmware as it was never officially released. That's if it is an original Samsung Product and not a knockoff....
I can't tell you what you have as I don't really know.... Sorry....

I finally flashed it with a P7501 file Tmobile file android 3.2. It started flashed until it got half way and it went off till naw it wont come up no sign of charging or anything. Wot do u think is wrong hard bricked or coma bricked

If there is no sign of life its hard bricked.... Coma bricked will at least get you to bootloader....

thanks for replying bro. i have a feeling there was no charge in it. because when i put it download mode after a mins or 2 it off itself. buh do u think flashing it could hard brick it.for now on getting home have plugged it to charge lemme see if sometime could happen. which social ntwrk are u on lets chat more better. thanks bro

Battery dying mid flash will cause a brick. One of the first rules of flashing is to ensure you have power!
If you cant get into download you have a paperweight....
Is there jtag for the note tab yet?

Do you recommend this table? Difference between model names?

Hello
I am thinking of buying a note 10.1 after I feel in love with my note 2. I have an motorola xoom today and I was wondering if you guys recommend me to buy the note 10.1 and is it worth the upgrade from xoom?
Also i wonder what is the difference between the model names? GT-N8000 and 8020? I read that one of them didn't have hdmi connectivity, can someone shed a light on this?
Any known problems with the note 10.1 that you should know before buying?
Thanks

N8000 - 3G connectivity (Calls and Mobile Internet)
N8005 - 3G (Mobile internet only)
N8010/13 - WIFI only models
N8020 LTE/4G model (Calls and Mobile Internet)
All Models use WIFI, but N8010/13 don't allow SMS and Email with sim cards, N8000 & N8020 allow phone calls..

Definitely a good tablet if you're looking toward education. The stylus is great.
Biggest advice: Get the 32gb model. 16gb is fine for a phone..but not a tablet. The OS and bloatware sucks up a good 5gb of memory. Amazon price difference when I got mine was about $50. Well worth it.
And..order a CLEAR screen protector. The Moko is great. Can't even see it if placed properly.
I got an M-Edge case that allows the tablet to rotate so you can stand it up either landscape or portrait. Pretty cool.
Don't know much about the Xoom so can't offer comparisons.
