Not a owner yet - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on this phablet. I live in the US so I'm guessing ima have to order online? First id like to know if it works well as a phone and battery life. This seems much more unique than a note 2

I expect that there is a very good reason why these devices hold their value.:highfive:

I have two P6800s one for me and one for she who must be obeyed and both are fantastic devices. i believe it is one of the more flexible for use devices on the market. I sourced both of mine from http://www.onthegosolutions.com/. If there are any available that is another source. just looked at the website and he shows 699.00 for a new one. Over the years have bought about 8 different phones and never had a problem. Best of luck finding what you want. BTW i use 64 g cards in both so have plenty of memory and storage.

If you don't mind at buying a used model, you can find it on Amazon.com for $348...

Could be some users that couldn't wait anymore after the Jelly Bean ROM...
I guess Amazon is serious enough to not let their customers selling crappy products... ^^
EDIT : Battery is very good and as a phone also even though a bit too big...
But you can use a wired headset or a BT version...

So other stores are reported that they're sending their touchpad back to HP which means more to sell coming from HP.

Craigslist is the best list

No. Craigslist would be people buying for 99/150 16/32 GB units and trying to sell them for 200/250, just like eBay.

Anyone know if this will work with a receiver HDMI input vs direct to the HDMI on the TV? My setup has all my electronics in another room and I would love to hook this up via HDMI to my receiver and be able to "switch" to it as needed.
thanks...

Funny stuff... people are still using this fake site to swindle best buy out of some cash?!?!? Want a laugh, try to even get to a checkout on surefireshops!
Many best buys will not honor this, they usually only match some of the big sites.

I went to Best Buy to get the price match. They identified both sites that have it listed for under $350 as "Phishing Scams". For whatever reason, they still did it. I walked out for $349.99
This was today after returning my Note 10.1

The international one, because it will get software updates faster, no at&t bloatware, and you don't live in an LTE area so there shouldn't be a differencr

Tablet ideas

I need ideas on a new tablet. My wife has this note 8.0 which is rather nice to me but... if I was gonna spend $200-250 is there anything else I should get rather than a note 8.0?
I love custom roms.. I'd love an IR blaster.. larger screen is a maybe.. I'd love it to last two years before abandon by the community.
I don't want a 7in really.. they feel cheap. I don't want less than 1.5gb ram, I don't need 3/4g- simply wifi
Thanks for the ideas!

I recommend the LG GPad. Out of the tablets I've had its my favorite and Newegg has it for around $230 :good:
Wow OK after looking that up it looks exactly like what after!
A couple of concerns.. Just from reading the new egg reviews people complain of over heating, the brightness messing with image quality and battery life being terrible.
Are these fixed with just flashing CM11? I've know LG software to be terrible usually so I'd point fingers there before the hardware.
Still open for suggestions! But that's amazing spec wise for the price. Wonder if Best Buy will price match it lol

I've had no issues aside from the low battery life. The brightness isn't the greatest but its still perfectly acceptable once you get it above 40.
I've tried a lot of the different roms and actually for me the best is the flashable stock kitkat that's available on the forums. All the others had various issues wifi, gps and general bugs. While the stock isn't the overall fastest its very stable and I still get almost 27000 in antutu.
Best Buy will pricematch Newegg but their running very low on supply.
I bought the GPad and the Samsung 8.4 Pro at the same time and kept the Gpad as the Samsung killed my eyes with the brightness and very small text. I think you would be happy with the Gpad :good:
Edit is your name Nathan?
Yes my name is Nathan. I've had the handle of talk2nate since about '93. Not very cool these days but its mine everywhere lol.
I'll have to see if they have that pad in stock. They offer a 15 day return so maybe I'll try it.

Reason I asked is because my name is Nathan also You may want to grab one quick as I noticed Newegg went out of stock right after I replied last but I just tried adding multiples and looks like they have 4 in stock. Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
Well I tried but they were all gone. Amazon has four left but they are $272... maybe I should just get something else :/
