Why are no developers developing the Cyanogen mod 9 Android 4.x.x for the galaxy tab 7.0 plus WIFI only version? Its a real nice device and it will be awesome to have CM9 for this device. I believe the galaxy tab 7 plus is being ignored for the galaxy tab 10.1.
its all to do with the sauce codes...Samsung have them under wraps and are not letting them go easy also their is an issue with correct drivers etc... im sure when the codes are revealed their will be 100s of developers trying this baby out (wifi/3g) but in my opinion i think Samsung have kept this from us deliberately as they are launching the new g-tab 2 this is basically a crappy version of out tab but with ICS not honeycomb and buy them allowing development on our device before launch would kill the thrill of the new galaxy tab 2... disappointing i know
I read a article this morning that said almost the exact same thing you just did. the Tab 2 seems like a lower end device than what the plus is. Slower processor (or just underclocked) with ICS. I am perfectly happy with the tab plus.

This question is directed at folks who own a Note 10.1. If you were looking for a tablet today, would you buy the Note 10.1 again or would you buy something else? Why? If you would buy a different tablet what would it be and why?

In short: if I would by an android tablet I would definitely buy a Note 10.1 again, no doubt about it. However, having a quite decent laptop in the tablet would be nice sometimes so one doesn't have to carry two devices in school and still can run ie matlab and MS Office, so a series 7 Slate (also this from Samsung) is something I would really consider. But it's a lot more expensive and larger so using it for pure reading as an ebook-ish is probably not as pleasant but then again it's more devices in one combined with a small wireless keyboard.

Welllll,
I was waiting when I got my Note 10.1, then a really good deal (350 $US) came up on a refurbished 32GB model, so I jumped on it.
What I was cross shopping was the Samsung ATIV 500t, and the prices of those were down considerably, but after trying both in the store, the Note 10.1 was far smoother and a better experience than the ATIV, but the allure of running full windows Desktop apps (photoshop, illustrator, etc. )on a tablet is still there. The next line of Intel chips (Haswell, not the ones in the new G-tab 3) should hit the sweet spot of performance and battery life, and that's what I'd wait for, that or a sweet deal on the Note 8. The Note 8 is a very very compelling product, the pen is different in the 8" version and works a good bit better than on the 10.1, but the price is out of line from my expectations.
I bought the Note 10.1 for the features it had- 10" screen, Quad-Core CPU, 2GB RAM, fast Samsung Flash-memory and 3G connectivity (plus it's unlocked and there's kernel source available). For those specs, there's no currently-available equal.
That being said, once the upcoming Sony Tablet Z 3G/LTE comes out, I'll probably get it. I've had a chance to play with one of the prototypes and I like the form-factor and the fact that SonyMobile has released all the source already.
Every meeting I have when I start taking notes with my Note 10.1, I get asked about it and someone usually says "I wish my ipad did that"... There is simply no better pen input device on the market... yet!
I would wait because I would be expecting that a new Note tablet would come out, and this Note tablet would drop in price.

Actually, since the 8.0 recently was launched there won't be another similar tablet in this year or maybe "just in time for christmas shopping".

I would wait for the 5.0 upgrade if that is not just a rumour . or at least 4.2..... multiuser on this tablet would be usefull.
I too was looking for other new upcoming tablets like the new nexus thats about to hit in autumn or the xperia z that has sort of the same concept of multi tasking (refering to the floating apps that xperia home has) ; but i have trully fallen in love with the s- pen and multiwindow functionality and app developed here on xda !!
So for Now.. regarding your subject, the note is still serving all my needs in terms of performance.
The next note ( if there will be such ), will sure be quite interesting. The note 10.1 that exists allready has the cool revolutionary multi tasking concept mentioned, that not many android devices have yet implemented to be usefull enough for my user taste.
I'm thinkin that there are many directions to explore in android, that none big producer has explored till samsung started mostly .
Sure it would be great for me ...if i could run a vanilla aosp android 4.2 like on the nexus10 but multiwindowed... Even aokp and cm.....
Is should be possible in any device till now...no matter that version....theyre just teasing us.
I would consider the new Toshiba as that also had sd-card and a stylus but is super high-res. Just waiting to see how easy it will be to root. The resolution is the only way in which the Note could seriously be improved imo, but tbh I haven't found it to be much of an issue and I do a lot of technical pdf reading and annotating.
ASUS is currently giving its keynote presentation at Computex 2013 in Taipei where it has just rolled out the first of a few new Android devices, the refreshed and redesigned Transformer Pad Infinity.
10-inch 2560x1600 IPS display with 178-degree viewing angle
1.9GHz Tegra 4 CPU
2GB of RAM
32GB of storage, expandable by SDcard
802.11a/b/g/n Wifi
USB 3.0 port
4K video output over HDMI
399.00 price point and 499.00 with dock
The are also working on the ASUS Transformer Book Trio, runs Android "Jelly Bean"and Windows 8
It will have two CPUs -- a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 U4500 for Windows and an Atom 2580 for Android. It's also got two banks of storage available -- a 1TB traditional hard drive and 64GB of flash storage and a 1080p IPS display.
The Trio can be docked and used as a tablet or a laptop. But it also boasts an additional usage mode -- the docking station can be connected to a monitor to create a full desktop PC experience. So it looks like the Atom chip lives in the display, while the Core i7 likely resides in the dock.
All about android talked about it on there webcast this week. ( http://twit.tv/show/all-about-android/112 starts at 16:20 mark )
It looks like they are going after Samsung and Microsoft's business so you should expect a new line or upgrades from Samsung.
I would most likely stick with my Note 10.1 as I already know what it can do and I'm happy.

Now that's a good deal.
Was it new?
I would repurchase a note 10.1
Or even better buy a note 8.0

Which tablet is best. Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 T310 OR Google Asus Nexus 7C?

If your talking based simply on hardware specs I would throw a vote towards the Nexus 7. I have found Samsung devices less likely to be able to play high end games because devs don't seem to give love the the Xynos processor they use. If your patient you might see the game released later. That's just one side of a loaded question you asked
Ok so they just released the Galaxy Note 8.0, announced new tabs and the new Note 10.1 2014 edition, and now they've got these PRO series tablets out....
Is it me, or is Samsung doing way too much at once?
Don't get me wrong, the Note PRO looks awesome, but this is a little overboard. Some devices will be inevitably left behind on updates, and this only intensifies the problem..... What do you think?
I think that Samsung has enough invested that they would rather make 12 "OK" tablets then one "All in One" device to try and gain a bigger market footprint. This allows them to try and pull in more people due to the wide range of options. Don't like a 12 inch tablet? well there's also 10 and 8~ inch options. Want a S-Pen? Well there's the note series for that which comes in all sizes.
Personally there are only 2 comfortable sized tablets; 10 inch ones for school and work, and 7 inch for media and play.
I think the 12 inch tablet is basically Samsung giving us the closest thing to a desktop or shall I say "NOTEbook" for an android tablet. Like the Original note this could be revolutionary or it could flop. If anyone can make 12 inch+ tablets it's Samsung or Apple. Just my 2 cents

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk[/QUOTE] @ddggttff3 I see your point. Man they're just so all over the place. Makes competition seem irrelevant and updates for most devices unlikely. Yea, I think 12 inches is just outrageous. May as well include the dock by default.
@md1008 I guess so, but they need to start including keyboard docks and feasible hardware instead of all this bundled crapware allegedly worth hundreds of bucks.
I feel nowadays that they are only flooding the market, IMHO. Some are great products, for sure, but too much is just too much. You don't know anymore what to buy. It's like they made a tablet today, tomorrow they will make a new one but only difference is that 3G is now 4G. Why they didn't made the 4G in the first place and sell only this 4G-model? It would be much easier to update them, when they have less devices to update.
If I need to choose a tablet for me, from Samsung, I wouldnt know what to buy. When I look a some webstore to buy a tablet there is a list:
tab2 7.0 wifi tab3 7.0 wifi tab3 7.0 wifi+3g tab3 8.0 wifi tab3 8.0 wifi+3g tab3 8.0 wifi+4g tab3 10.1 wifi tab3 10.1 wifi+4g tab3 10.1 wifi+3g note 8.0 wifi note 8.0 wifi+4g note 10.1 2014 wifi+4g note 10.1 2014 wifi nexus 10 tab3 kids 7.0 wifi .... WHAT??
If I hadnt ever used Android, I would be lost totally. And this was only devices made by Samsung. Wait a couple months and there will be more of them! (Pro's and Neo's and ...?) If you considering to buy a smaller one, you have already to choose between these:
(tab2 7.0)
tab3 7.0 wifi
tab3 7.0 wifi+3g
tab3 8.0 wifi
tab3 8.0 wifi+3g
tab3 8.0 wifi+4g
note 8.0 (spen)
Was it really necessary to make so many models? Do you think, you will get updates in the future? Nowadays I understand it quite well why people like Apple and they feel that Android is just a big mess. Well, of course, we know that the problem is not Android but manufacturers like Samsung who are only flooding markets with multiple devices.
So yes, I feel Samsung is doing just too much.
Samsung is doing too much.
They are going end up like SEGA if they don't slow down.

Lol I know right! It's a circus! The hardware differences aren't even very significant. They would build more Customer Loyalty if they supported devices long-term and marketed massive feature updates well. They did it with the 4.1 update, calling it a premium suite. Maybe it didnt work so well. =/

I just got my watch today, but it is not able to connect to my Tab S 8.4 LTE... The Gear manager in my tablet cannot find the watch even though it is right next to it. I tried to reboot both devices and turn the Bluetooth off and on, and nothing works. Really Samsung, not even compatible with your own galaxy devices?

No smartwatch from samsung was compatible with tablets, regardless phone capabilities of tablets. So...short answer...NO

The watch will work with every phone with 1.5 gb of ram and android 4.4 and up. I'm sure you will find a second hand S5 for 100 $ to use it for 3 or 4 months. Then resell it.

Yea, that is probably what I should do now. Good advice, thanks.
I'm in the same boat as you. My primary phone is (and will continue to be) a Tab A with telephony. It won't work with the S3, so I picked up a cheap Android that lives in my desk drawer and is only used on occasions when the watch needs to be paired with a phone.
I run a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 and i had to buy a used Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to pair and configure my Gear S3. What a pity !
Hi!
Any updates on this?
I spent last couple of days trying to pair Gear S3 with Tab 8.4 Pro (SM-T325) running stock kitkat 4.4 - no luck (((
It's such a shame that Samsung doesn't even make an attemp to make their own devices compatible with each other. Was a big surprise for me.
So, did anybody manage to couple Gear S3 with any tablet? If yes, how did you do it?
