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.

[Q] Rooted Samsung G-Tab 2 10.1 won't output HDMI sound

I recently purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 with an HDMI adapter and decided to root it and install a stock rom so I followed this guide. I followed the steps and installed the InfectedROM which seemed to be working fine aside from the fact that the bloatware wasn't being removed but I decided it wasn't that big of a deal. Before I did all of this, I used the tablet to watch a video on my TV which is one of the main reasons I bought it and it worked fine. However, after flashing the new rom, only the video is outputted through HDMI and the sound comes out of the tablet and not the TV. I've looked for hidden settings or something similar but found nothing. I then installed CleanROM and the same thing happened with it too. If anyone knows what's wrong, please let me know. I'm also willing to restore it to the way it was in the box if someone gave me the original rom.

So what would you Note 10.1 owners do now?

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.

Do you recommend this table? Difference between model names?

Hello
I am thinking of buying a note 10.1 after I feel in love with my note 2. I have an motorola xoom today and I was wondering if you guys recommend me to buy the note 10.1 and is it worth the upgrade from xoom?
Also i wonder what is the difference between the model names? GT-N8000 and 8020? I read that one of them didn't have hdmi connectivity, can someone shed a light on this?
Any known problems with the note 10.1 that you should know before buying?
Thanks

N8000 - 3G connectivity (Calls and Mobile Internet)
N8005 - 3G (Mobile internet only)
N8010/13 - WIFI only models
N8020 LTE/4G model (Calls and Mobile Internet)
All Models use WIFI, but N8010/13 don't allow SMS and Email with sim cards, N8000 & N8020 allow phone calls..

Definitely a good tablet if you're looking toward education. The stylus is great.
Biggest advice: Get the 32gb model. 16gb is fine for a phone..but not a tablet. The OS and bloatware sucks up a good 5gb of memory. Amazon price difference when I got mine was about $50. Well worth it.
And..order a CLEAR screen protector. The Moko is great. Can't even see it if placed properly.
I got an M-Edge case that allows the tablet to rotate so you can stand it up either landscape or portrait. Pretty cool.
Don't know much about the Xoom so can't offer comparisons.

[q] at&t sgh-i497

I got this Tab from someone who did not want it anymore. It has 4.1.2, stock it looks like. I see many updated for the P51xx. It looks like it may be the same thing, but since Tabs are a new thing, always had a Note, but went to an S4 for work, so wanted the Tab to read on and web browse.
Should I follow the directions for the P51xx for my tablet? or just the ones that say SGH-I497?
Specs:
16GB AT&T 3G +Wifi
Android 4.1.2 (Stock?)
Baseband-i497UCMF2
Thanks in advance. Have a great day! :good:
