Now if I could get this thing rooted all would be well.

Nice, didn't know they released that yet...

Which version? 7/8/10? The hw differs. I'm waiting on the UPS man to deliver my 8.0 one today.

keep us posted.

My local Walmart has the 8" version of the Tab 3 for sale.

Good buy? Need quick answer.

I was offered a like new Galaxy tab 2 10.1 for 250. Is that worth it? Will a new one be coming out? If I get them to do 200 should I buy?
Thanks for the help

I bought my used Sprint Galaxy Tab 7 (white) for $200 in MINT condition. Asking price was $280. Doesn't hurt to say I have cash on me and can meet you in 30 minutes inside a Starbucks.
Ok thanks for the help so is 250 high? Will there be another tab coming soon? One more question. What do you guys think of this tablet? Is it smooth enough? Is cm10 or aokp the best room? I dont really care about touchwiz

No its a low price. The tablet is awesome. The 'best' ROM can only be determined by you.

I'll bump this a little bit. I just ordered Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for 200 euros (they are normally like 350-400 euros here in Finland), and now I'm facing a dilemma.
I already own Xperia Tablet S, and ordered the Tab for my parents. But what do you think, should I keep the Tab for myself and give the Xperia Tablet S to my parents? Both are excellent devices, but Tab 2 is only a dual core. But there are 100x more custom roms for Tab 2 than Tablet S. There's pretty much zero roms for Sony.
CyanogenMod and other thingys gets me interested on Tab 2, but the "low specs" on Tab 2 gets me leaning towards Sony.
What would you do?
Apple's and oranges...but
I have a kindle fire hd 7" with no roms but fair specs....
And a tab 2 7" with cm10.1 with mediocre specs...
I use the tab 2 almost exclusively...

why not buy NEXUS 7? it's awesome.
Maybe because it costs more, and is smaller. 3 inches is quite a lot.
EDIT: In MY case (where I got the Tab 2 for 200€) it's cheaper.
Sorry to hijack this thread.. I am looking to buy this tablet(wifi 10.1). Actually i was confused between this and nexus 7. But the display size won over nexus 7. And am new to tablets as well. Will this tab survive another 5 years of time ? Does this tab support usb host and hdmi or mhl? How's the battery backup time(wifi on 24x7)?

just bought mine today for $180 at walmart but it's going back tomorrow. the thing lags way too much for me. guess ill either buy a nexus 7 or wait.
Got the nexus 7 today and its like night and day. The only minuses are no expandable storage or rear camera. I liked the design of the tab 2 but the lag killed it for me. Maybe ill try out the galaxy tab 8 when it hits.

[Q] Have Note 10.1 Company buying another what you suggest?

Yep, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 as a personal tablet. My employer has approved a me to get one for work. I already use my Note 10.1 for work stuff
I was wondering what would you guys suggest me get another 10.1 or something similar
I'll need data so one with a sim card and at least 10" screen
thanks
Nopes not really a lover of the iPad. lol
thanks

For productivity, the note is the best. You can check out the note 8.0 as well

If i had the choice I would get either the note 10.1 or 8 with 3g, I am bias and cant see any other make worth getting,
If you are not in a rush wait and see what new version appears in the next few months.

Which model for Canada?

It looks like AT&T is getting model SGH-i337.
Does anyone know if Canada will be the same, or if it will be the 9505?
Just thinking ahead to ROMs and exploits.
I believe we are getting sgh-i337M

Ugh. That surely complicates using custom ROM's? Or can we use 9505 ROM with the correct radio ? Sorry, been awhile since I had an SGS II and it was an Int'l one for this reason!

I know there are a few custom rom ports for the galaxy note 2 LTE from the International Galaxy Note 2. I am sure there will be some custom roms that will be ported to work on our galaxy s 4. Europeans are getting some of the galaxy s 4s with the same hardware as we are.
I have been reading today, the bootloader may be locked on the galaxy s 4.

Hello fellow excited GS4 waiting Canadians! Is there a pre-order and arrival thread for us?
thanks
If you preordered through bestbuy canada, it is a mess, no s4 at least until wednesday next week.i was told today, they are having a hardtime to get phones even for pre-orders. There is a shortage of phones for the galaxy s 4 launch date

I've been using a SGS3 (GT-I9100) for about a year now. My area didn't have LTE and I wanted better access to ROMS,so it fit the bill perfectly.
Now that LTE is available in my area, would the 337 or 9505 (lack or 1700MHz LTE the only key difference?) have better options for ROMs?
Any guesses at this early stage in the game?

Where did you get the LTE version? Does it support US bands?
I got mine in hong kong. It just came out.
From gsmarena you can find the compatible lte bands:

There are just too many lte bands from different carriers, and you will have to check.
Sent from my SM-T315 using xda app-developers app
I think the performance is really average.
I also get a lot of crashes on gallery app. I have lots of picasa web albums. And when scrolling in the gallery app, it just shuts down.
Nevertheless, I think the screen and size are awesome.
I am hoping all these can be fixed by an update or custom rom.

Thanks. Looks like it doesn't support the 1700 AT&T band. I'm sure it will be out in the US soon enough. I'm tired of buying tablets from AT&T as they never seem to get upgraded. I was hoping for a unit directly from Samsung. Hopefully, there will be a Nexus unit with LTE that is bigger than 7 inches.
For those who are experiencing sluggishness and forcw close on the gallery app, it is caused (i think) by the new cloud sync feature. It is under settings. I turned everything off (displaying Dropbox photos, videos, and documents sync... Etc)
Gallery app is fine now, and all my picasa albums are good now. I will probably do another hard reset and redo everything again.

Just download the latest rom from the site posted in my previous post. Then use the Odin windows software to update/flash the downloaded rom.

Make sure you pick the right tab version (310, 311, 315) and then pick XAR (cellular south) for US. Although not sure there is much difference for wifi-only models.

You can check which one you have (first!) by looking under Settings -> Device.

How can I do a screen shot on this bad boy?

Upgrade from GT-P7510?

Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7150 to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3?
It's going to be a gift so no cost to me, but my 7150 is still running everything I want and need just. So I can't decide if I should ask for something different in the same price range.
Thanks for any opinions :good:
Well I didn't wait for opinions and went ahead and got the GT-P5210.
I'm pretty happy so far.
