[Q] Quickest rooted 10" tablet - General Questions and Answers

Since there is an RDP app as well as Team viewer available for android I am looking at getting a 10" android tablet instead of a Windows tablet. I have read quite a few reviews and I would like to hear some feedback from actual users now. I need one that has good reliable Wi-Fi capabilities since a lot of times I will be remoting to other devices. I also need a microsd slot. I also need at least a 1280x800 display. I had looked at the Nexus 10 but no microsd. Right now I am leaning towards the Samsung Note 10.1(the new version), Asus transformer Pad, or possibly the Galaxy Note 8. I am open to any other tablet as well as long as it meets my requirements.

Yep, the note10 and the trasformer are pretty good choice, I also recommend to check the Sony Xperia Z tablet:

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 VS Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 -10.1

Hello. I am looking to buy a 10 inch Android Tablet for around $400...which one is better ? or is there a better one avaiable within this price range. Thanks in advance.....
Asus!
Hi, both these tablets have ics, but the Asus is much more powerful with a quad core processor, im not sure what the Samsung has, also the Asus has a better front facing camera, and it has many more ports so you can put micro sd in the tablet, same as the Samsung but the Asus has more ports on the keyboard dock also.
If I were you and you wanted to play games and do things smoothly then get the Asus, I would get the ASUS, hope I helped, Go here to do a proper comparison site
Type Tablet nation into Google and click on the first one,then scroll down a bit and click compare all tablets then click the asus and sgt2 im not allowed to put links so youll have to go the long way.

[Q] need some help choosing

Hi guys,
Im looking to buy my first ever tablet but im having trouble choosing. I'm a university engineer student and need a tablet that can take notes(alot of typing), browse the web(flash must have), remote access desktop back home (must have) and possible play few games( nothing fancy). I had a laptop(windows 7) but it was big, heavy and ended up breaking when I was rushing from class to class. That's why I'm looking for a smaller tablet. I want to stay away from laptops and try something new (android). I do have a windows desktop at home, so i dont really need another windows laptop. My budget is about 400-700 Max.
After doing some Googling I found:
Asus transformer infinity tf700t (with dock)
Samsung galaxy note 10.1 (probably will buy a dock for it)
Windows surface (has cover/dock)
Ipad 2 (don't really like apple products because there is no customization to it, but still considering)
So far I'm looking at the Asus tf700t because of the dock but since I have never owned any android tablets I'm a little unsure if its the right choice for me.*
Any tips, suggestions or comments will be much appreciated.
Thank you
You can't really go wrong with an android device. On stock OS android is more stable than any other mobile OS. And that's without losing all the customization. Where as on the iPad or any other OS or tablet/phone you have to do some sort of hackery or something extra. But out of the box an android tablet runs circles around anything else available. I can't say however the tablet apps are as polished in iOS in android. That is just simple mathematics... there are so many more phones than tablets so fewer developers work on them. But don't let that discourage you. You will still find what you looking for and more with the tablet your most interested in.

I have looked around asus transformer tf700 section and i found some good tips and everyone says its definitely worth the price, though some problems with battery life.
thanks for your comment btw.
I say go for the Galaxy Note 10.1. It's a bit newer and you also get a newer version of ICS. You may take a hit in the screen resolution, which is 1280 X 800. You do get a quad core CPU, with the Mali-400mp GPU, and 2 GBs of memory. Plus you get a pen with it ^__^. When looking at the Prime you may get a higher resolution screen of 1920 X 1200, you get a dual core CPU, the Adreno 225, and 1 GB of memory. In terms of GPU power both offer about the same performance wise. With all the other bells and whistles both have very comparable stats.
Here's a long and detailed review for the Galaxy Note 10.1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wf_PqPi2tw&lc
Here's a long and detailed review for the Prime Infinity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xvzgGOpUFA
Specs on Galaxy Note 10.1 http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-4573.php

If you can wait for the Windows Surface tablet to come out to see what it offers, and I highly suggest not to get an iPad because it doesn't support flash lol, and has little to no customization. Plus it's the older iPad 2 which only has a comparable GPU the PowerVR SGX543 MP2. However, the screen res is even lower than the Note 10.1 (1024 X 768) , and it has only 512 mb of ram (which in some occasions isn't enough anymore), has no dock, and has no expandable storage either.

Thanks for the great links and tip. I'm going to do a tryout of some tablets to see how easy and good they are at note taking. If the infinity it Samsung galaxy note 10.1 don't fit my list. I will wait for the windows surface pro to come out and buy it, that is if neither the infinity or samung note 10.1 satisfy my needs.

Benefits of Samsung phone and tablet

I'm purchasing a galaxy note 2 from sprint next week. I am also in the market for a tablet its either the samsung note 10.1 or the ASUS infinity. Is there any benefits of having a samsung phone and tablet? The reasons why I want a infinity is for the slightly better display and battery performance, but like the S-Pen functions on the note 2. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

In my opinion I believe the note 10.1 out performs the infinity and if all you want is the display get the nexus 10. I've had my note for 2 months and love it
isnt the nexus 10 have no expandable storage?
No it's not, that can be a deal breaker for some but i figure between dropbox and other cloud services it wouldn't bother me. But back to between the note and the infinity. Screen res the infinity definitely wins but hardware it's a close race. In quadrant standard (take that for what it's worth) i score consistently in the mid 5000's. When it updates to jelly bean it will be much better. (my galaxy s3 went from 5200 to 6100 with the update) i have yet to slow this thing down.
even though it is a lower res screen it still has more pixels than the ipad 2 and HD movies still look pretty stunning.
If you see some of the post in this forum there is a word that N10 has lots of issue specificly with display as far infinity is concerned it has whole list of issues which have been talked about by its owners in this as well as forum specific to infinity but when it comes to note you will find there are some issues with quality but it restricted to display only and most of the actual users (there are many who are fake owners who only citizise note) will only praise not
I agree that there are very few issues with this tablet, and if you have a note 2 then you will love having both devices so similar, it will make syncing them a breeze.
I previously had the Transformer TF101 (the original copper); this Note blows it out of the water. Sure, the display isn't on par with the Infinity's, but I got the Note because I use it for taking notes and drawing stuff. For me, I rather have the stylus over the keyboard (though I am looking for a keyboard dock of a sort) because I take notes in physics classes. However.. I'd go for the Nexus 10 if you don't need the stylus. Although this tablet has better hardware than almost everything out there (or is it just everything?), the Nexus 10 is a great price for a great tablet with a great display, and that's all you need if you don't want the stylus. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 for my phone, but I haven't noticed better syncing or whatever compared to when I used my Asus Tablet..
benefits:
- same apps for special Samsung markets
- synchronization works better on same brande devices
- special S pen application will works perfect on both device
- you need just Kies in PC (if you are using this kind of SW)
- compatibility of accesories

Which is more supported Asus Infinity tf701t or Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Sorry, not sure where this thread should go.
I am looking at getting a tablet. My choices are down to Asus Infinity tf701t (The new one) or Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. I am not a fan of TouchWhiz. I am looking at support right now because I will be rooting and more then likely installing a different ROM onto the tablet. That is the reason I am looking at support. Which one will more then likely have the most options for future ROMs. I am also looking at overall quality of the tablet.
I figure that if I go with the Note I can buy a bluetooth keyboard. I can deal without a pen on the Infinity.
Thanks,

Too bad you didn't get a reply to your question in about a month. I currently have exactly the same question. I like the style of the Asus, the materials used, the "on screen buttons", but the Note is quite a bit smaller, a tad faster, more memory, a better screen and better wireless capabilities (801.11ac + BT 4.0).
I suspect the TF701T will have better support from XDA, since its Tegra SOC is better supported. Samsung's Exynos SOC is closed source as far as I know. I remember the Exynos 4 was poorly supported... So I'm torn between two choices: either the Samsung with more memory and a better screen or the Asus that might start out slower, might run out of memory in a few years, but will most likely get better support. I don't like to base a decision on "most likely" assumptions

General consensus is that the TF701T has a better screen than the Samsung Note 2014. Having seen them side by side I agree.
I will be building a rom for the TF701T over the Xmas / New Year period as I have 2 weeks off and nothing to do :good:
Unsurprisingly, Samsung has much bigger market share than ASUS (or any other OEM for that matter), and with Samsung’s marketing prowess, the Note 10.1 2014 edition is more likely to outsell the tf701t by an order of magnitude. As such, there are likely more developers for the Note because it is the more popular device.
As a point of reference, you can compare development support for the Note 10.1 (original version) and the tf700, two previously competing flagships from Samsung and ASUS. A quick look at their respective xda forums will show:
1. Note 10.1: 117 threads in the Android Development section, 18 threads in the Original Android Development section
2. Tf700: 108 threads in the Android Development section
Obviously the numbers can’t tell the quality of the development community, but if you go purely by size, the original Note 10.1 surely has an advantage.
At the moment if you have no interest in the S-Pen there's no point in paying the extreme markup for the Note 2014, especially if you don't like touchwiz. Most AOSP built roms do not support the S-Pen. You might as well hold out for a Nexus 10 for 300 if you're interested in the screen resolution.
Own TF700t and Galaxy 10.1 2014 version
Had the TF 700 for two months before the screen just started to crack and became non - responsive. No abuse, no drops, in a case. Asus would charge 265 + shipping to replace screen. Contacted credit card insurance, collected the money and bought the Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition. BEST DECISION EVER! Still exploring the uses of s pen and awesome functions. I also had the tf 201 and did drop that one, tried to replace touchscreen...but, didn't quite turn out. Go with the Galaxy - much better quality, features, support and access to accessories. Read other blogs/forums on the cracked screen issues that Asus has and complaints with bbb.
Asus is very good about releasing updates, for the first 2 years, asus does not allways put the most current version of android on their tablets at release though. Samgsung does not have as good of build quality. TF701 is metal, Gaxlaxy Note 10.1 2014 is all plastic. I would go with the tf701.
by the way you are not stuck on touchwiz, you can install clockwork mod, or install GEL and switch the font to a better font then samgsung's defualt.

[Q] which 10 inch android tablet with 2 GB RAM to buy ?

I need your help in figuring out which 9-10 inch android tablet to buy. I am looking for a second tablet via ebay or Amazon around $200. Based on past experience with multiple tablets, in spite of all the pronouncement about android memory management, I have found tablets with 1 GB RAM laggy. Of late, I have loved using the 2013 Nexus 7 tablet (on kit kat and lollipop) and now would like to get a bigger android tablet for reading PDF text books. I am not fussy about getting the highest possible screen resolution. Right now, ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 seems to have the right specs at a very reasonable price, although some people have complained about certain apps not working well with the Intel Atom Z2560 processor. Can you suggest a few alternative choices ?
Thanks
