Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" Infrared

I have been reading some reviews and from what I gathered is that the US version does not have an IR built in. Can anyone confirm this? And is this also for European versions?
I tried looking it up but some say it does and some say it doesn't.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0" and YES, it does have the IR Blaster built-in.
As of now, only apps I found for it was the Peel (it came with the tablet) and Touchsquid.

I think the way it is 3113 us version has ir. 3110 international version has no ir.
good day.

I can confirm this. The Dutch (international) version (P3110) has no IR.

Samsung Tab 2 IR blaster
The Samsung Tab 2 sold in the US has an IR blaster. It appears they don't include the feature outside the US. The Peel app is not fully functional outside the US so perhaps that is why they have IR only in the US.
The Touchsquid tablet has an IR blaster, and is available worldwide. The TS PRO remote control app is included in the price, costs $49 on the Samsung.

Actually Touchsquid came up with a separate app specifically for Samsung Tab 2 (sold in the US with an IR blaster), costs 19.99$

They say this TouchSquid app should work on the Tab 7 Plus as well. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth $20?

I don't know that I'd call Peel fully functional withing the US either. It's been nothing but a buggy piece of crap that crashes all the time for me. Maybe the latest update will fix some things.

Haven't had it crash, but i am unable to select a content guide, had to lie to it and say I get ota tv. Otherwise works well, not that I've used it much. Almost seems like a novelty, it easier to just use my Damn remote

Well i have the US version of the tab (P3113) n i live in india....I can use peel to control my TV n all....

The Peel app asks you if you are International or in the US - the guide information may not work but the remote functions should work. I don't know, after about 5-10 minutes setting mine up with it working it just stopped and hasn't worked since.

Does the indian version has ir or not?....can anyone reply

Probably not. Pretty sure it's US only.

Bought mine a while ago and it had no IR. It is the P3110 and I am from Greece. So freakin' disappointing.

NFC Tags

Which NFC tags are you guys using me and my brother are wanting to buy a pack of them. I mean the Xperia Tags, the LG Smart tags and the Samsung Tectiles are the ones we will split the cost for.
I plan on having one in my car for Music or Google Maps to launch and one by my bed for the alarm to turn on.
So what do you guys think is better or are using from the Sony LG and Samsung NFC tags.......?

Be aware that the nexus 4 (and 10) has a different NFC (Broadcom BCM20793 NFC) controller. The vast majority (all?) of previous android nfc devices has a NXP controller ...and Mifare Classic tags uses proprietary protocols developed by NXP ....so, they are not compatible with the nexus 4 / 10 ...
--> the samsung tectiles are mifare classic tags, so I wouldn´t recommend them for a nexus 4 or nexus 10!
--> sony smarttags (mifare ultralight) should be compatible, but are quite small ...
--> LG, don´t know which technology they use ...
Bottom line: try to get NFC Forum Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 or Type 4 compliant tags and stay away from mifare classic tags with your nexus 4 ...
I couldn´t give you a more detailed advice, which tags to buy, because i prefere to re-use write protected nfc tags, like my library card

I bought these ones from eBay and they work very well for me. Got a couple around the house and in my car.

I have no idea what type mine are but I have a bunch from the XDA keychains from the Big Android BBQ. These ones.
They work really well. And XDA TV they show you that it's possible to open them up and remove the sticker. Now I've got one in my car dock and one in my desk dock.

I also have Milfare Classic tags (from Tags For Droid via Amazon.com). They work just fine.

I'm using NTAG203 from RapidNFC and they are working fine.

Yes, you can use the ID for some apps (like nfc retag ) , but you can not read or write MIFARE Classic 1k tags... At least theoretically and with my testing Nexus 4 device on 4.2....

The only thing that can be read from Mifare tags is the UID, and that can be used to trigger actions using an app like NFC Task Launcher, but you can't actually read or write any data to the tag.
You can test this out with a tag and the app NFC Smart Q, or by trying to write a tag with a Nexus 4 and read it with a GNex or other NFC device. I've tested this pretty thoroughly.
Basically, if a tag is Mifare compatible or a Mifare tag, it'll kinda work, but not properly with a N4.

Without special needs (outdoor, metal) NTAG type will be best choice for most. Newest type with highest ScanStrength.
With the Xperia smartTag app, you can use the tags on a very differente way. It doesn’t write anything to the tag, it just associates a set of commands with the found ID/URL. May be interesting for some.

I bought a kit of them from tagstand.com back when I purchased my Galaxy Nexus and have a few left over. I just tried them out with my Nexus 4 and they seem to work, though I've only tried the ones with their old logo on it, I believe they are all Type 2 though and should work fine.

What phone and program you use?

Could you guys point me to somewhere to read up on how to program NFC tags and how to use them on the phone. My N4 is the first device I have had with NFC so I want to catch up to all the cool things I can do with it. Here I was thinking it was only used to pay for coffee 0.o

This might show you how

Nexus 4, NFC Task Launcher
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I got some free samples of TI Tag-it NFC tags.
Ended up with 5 standard (23 message bytes) and 5 plus (250 message bytes) NFC chips, that are about the size of a US quarter.
The standard ones are quite slow (have to hold the phone over the chip while it takes a few seconds to read it), while the plus ones are quite a bit faster.

I have just set up an NFC tag using the free tag that comes in the AT&T Sony TL box.

I got a dozen tags from Tag Age (http://www.tagage.net/) roughly 2 years ago and they have worked great with my NS, using NFC Task Launcher (prob an older version. got it way back when the dev was first working on it on XDA).
I get the most use from a bedside tag for clock/sleep (until I got the official NS dock) and a tag on my universal car dock for Bluetooth and car mode.

Can you program to those? According to another seller, they don't work with the Nexus 4. The model seems to be one letter off (1108 vs 11R08), but that may be a typo. Also, that seller says these are Mifare classic, but in this page it's implied that the S50 is something else and that it is compatible with the Nexus 4 and 10.
Just double checking cause I'm getting some.

I am using tags from my NFC Hobbyist Starter Kit from tagstand.com.
http://nfctags.tagstand.com/
They are compatible with my AT&T Galaxy S4 when used in conjunction with the NFC Task Launcher app.

Hi I just bought this phone, come in to share your experience on rooting and many more features inbuild in this beast.
I was pretty interested in the inbuilt antenna did anyone exploit it ?
Has anyone solve the video call , roaming issue, which prevent you from using.
I root my phone via this link

I guess, as all other Korean version of Samsung phones, this phone has problem with SMS more than 70 chars and multipart SMS?
Also, this phone comes with two lame colors making it out of my interest
I'm waiting for I9506 with traditional black color. Well, kind of black, but anyway better than blue or red.

The latest firmware solve the issue. I have tried no issue for me,,,

This is not an issue. This is the standard for Korean mobile network operators. Nothing to fix there. Probably, you didn't understand what i meant.
Can you send SMS with, let's say 300 characters? both latin and non-latin symbols?

Thanks for the info... I know what u mean after 160 character, it should split into two SMS.
I have tried for more than 300 character, it will sent as MMS.

May be it's possible to fix it using some parts from I9506 firmware if E330S doesn't have too much hardware differences in modem connections.
Actually, I'm very familiar with this problem because I've used SHV-E210K for more than a year. I've succeed to use whole I9300 firmware with some framework patch and few libraries from E210 firmware. But since it's very tricky and not exactly will work for E330S, I'm not confident to buy this phone, although I can buy it here in Taiwan without much hassle and for a good price.
I still hope I9506 will widely spread later this year, so i don't have to mess with Korean firmware anymore

Well actually I dun use SMS that often now... it is really useless to me.... everyone is in watsapp and other application for chatting.
I hope someone could solve the video calls and update of software still prompting required of SKT SIM and ROAMING not allowed.
the mcc and mnc is hardcoded into the firmware.

Yeah, there are lot of SKT (in my case it was KT) things are hardcoded in firmware(framework) of Korean version. That's why I've decided to move to I9300 firmware with patches instead of trying to patch E210K firmware.
I agree that SMS is not as important as it was before, but still in some cases you cannot replace it by whatsapp or other internet messengers. Still many people i know don't use mobile data plans. So, SMS is the only way to send the message to these people. The problem with SMS even worse when your communicate in non-english language where you limited by only 70 unicode characters. For example, in Russian language with its usually long words is really hard to fit sentences into 70 characters

Hi guys
I am new at forum...I want to root my phone but i don't know how...Please can you explain me the way step by step?Also it is my first android phone...
Thanks for your time

I tried go sms pro seems to be another alternative..

The above link is how I use to root my SHV-330S

I'm curious if dimensions of E330S are exactly as I9500/I9505?
My E210K is a little thicker than I9300 making almost all hard cases incompatible.
Also, curious if back cover and its hooks of E330 is compatible with I9500/I9505? I know about antenna corner cut (which is easy to make), but besides this back cover of E210 has completely different hook positions than I9300 making covers completely incompatible.
I have some kind of itching I want SD800 version, but don't wanna wait for I9506. But having experience with complete absence of accessories for SGS3 SHV-E210, i don't want to loose accessories again.

Exactly.
By the way I'm happy that I bought the e330s. Speed, 32gb, charger and second battery are worth the trouble to impoprt it from Korea. All is as I hoped it would be. The only drawback is that I didn't figure out how i get NFC working.

My nfc is ok

My I9500 came with 32GB, second battery and charger as well. The only difference for me will be Snapdragon vs Exynos. I hate the way Samsung did by splitting market to two incompatible devices. Although Exynos is very competitive comparing to SD600, game developers don't bother to tweak their games to Exynos version.
While Exynos is more interesting by CPU (i wanna wait to see if 5410 will get HMP support or not) and better sound, i want to have well supported device, i.e. SD version. Although i don't care of CM/AOSP/GE ROMS.
Well, going to order E330S in Black Mist color. I've found such version!

SD800 is pretty insane in term of performance... u wun get any phone that is purely make in korean, even for the battery.

Nice ^ And the remote feature does not work for me, everything else is perfect i think, just the remote control
Edit, After watching your test instead of Mayiandjays you tought me how to use the remote, thank you

I guess this is the Note 3 clone post (only one!?!) so I'll ask my questions here! My phone is similar, but I think we'll all have a hard time finding "real" specs as you will soon see...
Have any of the rest of you tried any benchmarking/info apps to find out your real CPU/GPU/RAM specs yet?
My phone came with a (locked) version of Antutu that I think was hacked to show better scores and info. I rooted the phone (with Framaroot) and deleted the old version, installed a new version from the Play Store, and installed CPU Identifier. Antutu still miss-read the specs, but CPU Identifier gave a more realistic picture. (but not perfect)
The original Device Info screen: imgur.com/Js8e4FI or see "deviceinfo.png" below
Antutu's (still incorrect) device info screen: imgur.com/0OMilGl or see "antutu.png" below
CPU Identifier gave me a more realistic view of the processor, but still incorrectly shows 3GB of RAM: imgur.com/caapx2o or see "cpu identifier.png" below
Do any of you know an app that can show how much RAM this device actually has?
The processor seems to have confused Antutu and CPU Identifier as well since Antutu thinks its a quad-core Snapdragon, and CPU Identifier thinks its a dual-core MediaTek processor but says that the GPU is incorrect for the model it thinks it is.
I guess it will be a while before we know if any custom rom will work on these phones, but it would be nice to be able to use Xposed. I'm a little worried about trying it, but I'll probably get impatient soon and try it. It would be nice to at least know what rom is actually on it, as I think that info has been faked as well. I've tried to see if I can get any better info from the factory mode menu, (power + vol. down while booting), but it's all in Chinese: imgur.com/ivDFE4s or see "screencrap.png" below. Does anyone know what it says or how to change it to English?
---------------------------------
Okay, now the good news:
-It's actually a good phone for the price! I payed the equivalent of around $110 for it last weekend.
-The screen is bright and responsive, similar to the videos in this thread.
-The back of the case is branded like Mayiandjay's.
-The S pen is similar to the other pens. It looks almost exactly like the Samsung, with a fake button on it. The S pen menu only appears when you take the pen out, and I don't think the menu can be moved around the screen.
-It had the same desktop layout as the videos, but I think I lost some of that (and apps?!?) when I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I lost the Samsung boot up screen, (now it's an Android ani), and I don't seem to have the remote control app.
-The air gesture worked well (a bit better than s7yler's), and smart screen paused movies when I looked away.
-Multi window didn't work, but there is an app dock tab on the left side of the screen.
-It seems to get good signal and 3g, but I don't know about 4g. (we don't have that here)
-It is USB 2 with the fake USB 3 ports like the others.
-The Play Store is in the Galaxy Plus Icon/menu
-The resolution isn't what Antutu reports (1080x1920!) but I think CPU Identfier's 540x960 is correct, or it might be a bit better.
-The camera is only 8 megapixels, but that's okay, I don't take many pictures.
-While I don't think the phone has 3GB of RAM, the closest I've found to what might be more accurate is through using Usemon. While monitoring the RAM, it seemed to show about 1.5GB, but that might have been faked too.
All in all, it seems to be a good phone. I think s7yler's and Mayiandjay/Christopher.J.M's are better if they are actually quad-core, but until I can find an app I can trust or until I can change the rom, I don't think any of us can say what the specs are with confidence. This phone seems better than the other clones I tried out, so I'm happy with it.

U only have a dualcore phone friend

Can one of you guys who got the device tell me if you have to pay extra taxes when it reaches the customs? Also how is the smoothness of the ROM and hows the battery life?

Paying tax/custom control all depends on how luckly you are! With some of my orders, DHL delivered without any extra, while with others DHL contacted me and wanted bank or paypal proof of the value. There is no bullet proof rule that you can use. It is random if they stop your package when it comes from China.
The ROM is smooth, and the battery life is really good! seems to be near real 3200mAh.

For instances im thinking about buying mayiandjay's version and paying for dhl shipping with the original box, since my countries tax is 23% over the original value does that mean if the customs catch it i will pay a quarter more? or do i just need to send them the payment proof?
