galaxy tab 7 plus

Hello, is the galaxy tab 7 plus wifi only version going to get cyanogenmod 9 android 4.x? I read somewhere before it is but i don't see anything happening so maybe i read wrong. This is a very nice device but looks like its being passed up. It looks like alot going on for the new larger sized samsung tabs and other devices.

Samsung has announced that it will be getting ICS (android 4.0.x), but I haven't heard/seen anything concerning CM9. On the other hand, if ICS from samsung shows up (and they post the source as they are supposed to do), and CM9 shows up for other tablets (as well as other exynos-based devices), it should be trivial to do the port (and I might even take that on myself.)

Where's the IR port???

In the UK, just bought a galaxy tab 2 7.0 after reading reviews galore, bit annoyed to find no IR port at all!!
Is it because its a UK version?
Also, i dunno if anyone else has the same problem but i can't get google+ to update, gmail to update, nor can i download facebook app either ?!?
Is it just me?

sounds like you got a knock-off of it and not a genuine tab. Or possibly not the tab 2.
what is the model number listed in settings?

Not so, it's was from carphone warehouse, it's genuine alright, but i expect it's cos it's a UK version or summat. Also, changing connection sorted the downloads out. Which is odd, cos i have two other android devices that work fine with my home network.

Bummer! Would have found that useful!!
Cheers for clearing that up tho

It appears only the us models have the ir blaster. I also bought the device based on the reviews, as the manual is not included, samsung should make a spec change like this clear. Still i love the tablet.

Yup, gotta be honest, for the wedge, it's great. Only thing lacking is the camera but i really don't think I'll be using it anyway.

P3110 has no IR port

I purchased a Galaxy Samsung Tab 2 7 inch 3G P3110 version in Singapore. There isn't any IR blaster port either.

There isn't much use for the IR blaster, not for me anyway. Samsung hasn't released the code for it, so the tablet is essentially a P3110 once a custom ROM is installed.

What is P3113?

Hello. I've never owned a smart phone or tablet of any sort. I'm trying to root and I keep seeing things like P3113, P3110, P5100...I'm trying to figure out which one I have. What do these mean? I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7". When I look in the "about device" section I don't see anything like any of the things listed above. Model number is SCH-i705, Android version is 4.0.4...What am I looking for? How do I find out?

Write the model number in google and see
Or try to dial *#1234# if you can
Or see the back of your tab soooo small fonts
Or see the packaging of the tab
I think it is verizon wireless as this link ( variant of tab2 branded by carrier) if so do not use files in this tab2 forum to root or so it may brick the tab as internal hardware may be different so files and roms etc here do not apply

Yes, I did buy my tab from a Verizon wireless store. I didn't know that would make a difference. But yes, I looked on the back of my tab and on the packaging and everything and I don't see any P- numbers. Only SCH numbers. This is frustrating. I've looked and can't find any information on rooting a SCH-whatever tablet.

No problem just a new device released wait two days then write in google search or xda search root sch-i705 the device is new so tutorials are about to come or another solution return it and get p-3113 (i think found in America but wifi only)or p-3110 ( i think found in europe but wifi only) or 3100 (3g with gsm module and telephone functions but not work with cdma carriers i think work only with at&t) if you can

I925 Note 10.1

Hello all,
I have my brother's Note 10.1 that he wanted me to put a newer custom rom on so that he could use a more recent version of Android. He bought this used. When I look in the about section of settings, it says the Model Number is SCH-I925. Which according to Google and Samsung websites is correct, it is the Note 10.1 first edition. If I type the model number into the device search bar here in XDA it comes up as a phone. So, through some research, I was at least able to find out this tablet is not the 2014 version (Looked at the camera and it only goes up to 5MP so must be original version). However, I am not seeing any roms with the I925 in the title. Most are for 800, 8000, etc. So just looking for a little guidance. I am no stranger to flashing roms so I can work my way through the actual process. But usually the model number matches the roms and at this point I am not getting any matches.
What says you guys?

Thats the Verizon model .
I dont know of any roms .

Different firmware for a Samsung tablet

Hey there, I recently found out Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 will get a DeX mode and thought about how to get it on the previous flagship tablet of Samsung - Tab S3. I have one and I really think that DeX mode will be a nice thing to have on a tablet with a pen. We all know, that Samsung can add that feature later like it did with S9 camera functions on S8 with last firmware update. So there is the question: is it possible to install a Tab S4 firmware on a Tab S3? They have different screen ratio but that must be all differences out there. Maybe hardware home button also. I read about installing different firmware on Android tablets but often people said something like "the devices must be nearly identical to use the same firmware" and all that stuff. But really, the only thing that is really alarming me is the software buttons on Tab S4. I think they will float there for no reason if it si possible to install Tab S4 firmware on Tab S3. If you know something about a different firmware on Android device, please, tell me. Thanks.

It is possible to flash a firmware from a different device but they have to be of the same hardware chipset. For example, some models of US versions of Galaxy S3 can share each others firmware, but the S4 cannot use the S3 firmware.
But, generally speaking(95% of the time or more) flashing a firmware from a different device results in a hardbricked device. This is mostly due to differences in bootloader and modem. I have a Galaxy S3 SCH-S968C(Straight Talk) that can use the custom ROMs from the SCH-I535(Verizon) because they are virtually the same device BUT the SCH-S968C CANNOT flash the SCH-I535 stock firmware, it results in a hardbricked device, even though they are the exact same device.
There is no definitive answer to your question other than it is "possible" to use another firmware. But it is ALWAYS a special case scenario because you have to research the devices in question to see exactly how similar they are or are not.
There are cases of devices from one country being used in another country by flashing the firmware from the country the device is being used in, but it is not possible on ALL devices.
