Still a viable option? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it still a good idea to get the 2012 version of the Note 10.1? I'm thinking of using it to read PDF lecture notes, replacing the pen and paper notebook and using it as a 'remote' during presentation and Evernote synchronization. The specs seems decent enough, almost the same as my Note 2. I'm tempted to get the 2014 edition but what with KNOX and all making it hard for custom Roms to be flashed. I've run into some ads where they're selling it at about USD200-400 for the secondhand LTE version. So what do you guys think about this device? Think it'll last with for about 3-4 years more? Any problems or quirks?

I just picked one up. Upgraded from my touchpad lol. I wanted a 2014 note but got this 2012 for $190. Couldnt say no. I was between this and the transformer infinity tf700.

Same here, just got mine used about two weeks ago and I'm loving it. Picked up a 32 gig model used off Swappa for about $225 with a bunch of accesories. I bought it because I take a lot of notes at work and wanted to have everything in one place.
So far I've been running a stock rooted ROM that I debloated and it is working well. I didn't really see much more value in the new model for what I am using it for. The S Pen works great with Lecture Notes... Plus I am enjoying using it for drawing and artwork, a benefit that I hadn't foreseen.
Good luck!

Walmart has the 2014 for Black Friday for $299 ... Might as well get the newer one unless you need the extra storage space.

Walmart has the GALAXY TAB 3 for $299, NOT the 2014 Note 10.1. Dont spread false info. The tab doesn't compare to the note...

Must be regional specific. My ad lists the iPad mini for 299 at 6pm, not the Note 10.1. In fact, I cannot find your image anywhere

Nexus 10 Leaked

http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/26/google-nexus-10-leaks-android-tablet/
What do you guys think? Ugly but powerful is what I have to say. Exynos 5 Dual is ARM Cortex A15.
If it is priced correctly then it be awesome, but I don't think Samsung would price it cheaper than Note 10.1, unless they are not direct competitors of each other...
Hey fred. I can't wait for it to be announced on monday (hopefully). I will probably be picking one up. It's not the looks, it's specs that get me. Hell it will be in a case anyway lol
Yeah, I was thinking it looks like a Tab 2/Note 10.1 (blech), but the specs are very appealing.
Depending on the amount of storage id give up my Asus for it.

which asus tablet you going give up for this? I might ditch my tf300t if it comes with sd-card slot....
Edit: re-read the article if it's true that it has no sd-card that's going be a bummer:crying:
If they offer more than 16 GB of storage at a reasonable price point I'll replace my Tab2 for this.
Am I the only one glad a manufacturer has finally realized that speakers belong on the front of a device where sound is directed toward the user rather than in some random direction away?
I may get booed for this but I like the phone UI on the N7 and 10. I'm a fan! I wish my 7.7 had that UI. I'm a bigger fan of the specs on the 10. I hope I'm a fan of the price tag though.
Nice thread Fred! :beer:

I actually agree with you. It's not bad if you think about it. The iPad does it and it works fine (sorry to compare to the iPad :silly. It's less cluttered.
And thanks for the compliment. I'm trying to be more useful around the site; I used to help out a LOT and now I find myself lounging in the Marketplace thread way too much.

If it looks like that, its going to lose sales based on its ugliness alone. If I was looking for a tablet, I'd see the specs of this thing, decide to buy it. Then I actually see it, and im like "ewwwwww"

S2lte Holiday Pricing

I'm getting someone a phone for Christmas and it's between the Skyrocket (really S2 lte here in Canada) or the S3. Here's my problem: I can get the S3 for zero dollars thru futueshop, but they are also having a deal where you can get an S2Lte for zero as well WITH a $150 gift card bonus.
Which is the better deal?
On one hand, the S3 is the newer device, but on the other, the S2 LTE is still relevant and that gift card is tempting
Which would you pick?

I backed it on kickstarter awhile ago. I'm getting a dock and a carry case with my gamestick as well
I can't wait to see what color will be voted in, I may just get black though.
Hopefully once the actual console has been distributed to the devs there will be a forum here specifically for it.

If you're interested in it, I believe they are setting up their site to allow you to pre-order one. You might get it later than the 'backers' but it's a start.

Motorola X phone!

I thought I would start this thread about the much anticipated and highly fabled Motorola X phone, and quite possibly being the new Nexus 5 device.
Please state any relevant information, such as verified rumors and/or trusted leaks from reliable sources that you might have.
Also, what would you like to see in this upcoming super phone? Let's start the chatter folks
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
You first! I know nothing about it!
Anyone else find it interesting that X phone has passed through the Fcc for all other US carriers but not T Mobile? I've looked on the T Mobile website and I don't see any kind of Motorola devices at all. I also don't see any mention of T Mobile on the Motorola website. In fact the last couple devices the T Mobile has had for Motorola were released 2 years ago I think it was the Defy and the clique. Anyone here anything about a TMobile variant of the X phone? I wouldn't necessarily be interested in a unlocked version because they usually don't support T Mobile's wifi calling.

New rumors said that Android 5.0 and Motorola X Phone both dropping in October. So far, of course, these are rumors.
I have also heard those same rumors and then I also heard that the Motorola X might very well be the Nexus 5 phone with such amazing specs as Android 5.0 and customizable features such as 4gb of Ram and 128gb of internal storage plus an SD card slot just to name a few. I really do hope these to be true. I will be buying this phone and would really like it to blow away all of the competition, Motorola and Google are due

It could have something to do with those sensors they talked about. How the phone will know if it's in your pocket or in the car and at what speed you are actually traveling.

Still a little skeptical, but it does seem like this is actually happening now. Really hoping this case wont be gigantic and ugly. If it's not gigantic, it's going to be a buy for me.

With the phenomenal battery life I've been getting on 4.3, I don't think I have a need for this battery case anymore, but I may still buy one for emergency purposes like hurricanes or road trips and such.

Yes it totals out to be 4350mah
What would be cool is if they used the same batteries for all if their cases, so you could use them as backups in future phone cases.

You should be able to order from amazon or their eBay page with extra shipping charges. I ordered in Canada from amazon since it was cheaper there than their eBay page.
