[Q] Got the note 10.1, now what?

Hey guys,
i got myself the samsung galaxy note 10.1 and well basically i want to know what are the best features of this tablet?
I also want to know if rooting is really worth it & finally a lot of the widgets on the store suck lol, is their a place where I can get nice ones? And nice 3d hd live backgrouds?
Also What is the best application or emulator to play PS1 games on my tablet?

[Q]Galaxy Tab 2 or Nexus 4?

Guys, i have a [probably] stupid question.
I know the two devices listed are a phone and a tablet but...
I dont have a lot of cash. I currently have a Motorola Defy running on CM10. Im asking myself should i buy a Tab 2 (which is now $179 on amazon.com) and keep the Defy (and have two devices) or sell the Defy and buy a LG Nexus 4 (having a single device). What do you guys recommend? My main uses are browsing the web, reading books and watching movies, occasional games, and occasional office documents editing. I want the portability of the Nexus 4 and keeping my device with me always but the larger screen of the Tab 2 has an advantage.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
Once I decide to buy a tablet I had the same question.
It´s very easy to share the phone internet to tablet when out of your home or other place without wireless and once connected via bluetooth the tablet will give you a very nice confort for internet browsing, email, etc, besides book reading and other task such as games if it´s also the case.
It´s not good to answer a phone call with a tablet - wierd experience. And you will have to keep it with you, sometimes it´s size will be a problem. If you focus a less sized device you will lose the benefits of bigger screen, sometimes 7" seems to be small and sometimes big. Everything will depends upon your usage.
From my point of view you should keep with your Defy and buy the Tab 2, Wifi version. Nowadays I have also a Galaxy tab 2 7.0 + Motorola phone and they are very good friends one to each other. I am happy with my choice as with my phone I can do everything I would do a 3G version, ie (P3100).

Get the Nexus 4. It is fast, has stock Android, and you don't have to keep up with two devices.

Galaxy tab 2 have 7 inch screen so good for reading books,have full hd playback so good for movies,support most of hd games
So it must be great.
And on other hand if you want pure android experience,fast processor,2gb ram,early updates,a better camera,intense gaming go for nexus 4.

7" is a different experience than a 4". I find myself using the tablet (7.0) over my phone most of the time.

Thanks for all your answers... but i still cant make up my mind maybe ill wait for some time and save up for the nexus 4

Even I am stuck with the same problem. Though the tab 2 has a 7" screen its no HD display, that's what is stopping me from getting a tab 2.

Well Tab 2 7.0 is 179.99 shipped while Nexus 4 is 393 tax and shipping. I love my Galaxy Nexus and Tab 2 7. I think it's a good combo. Between the two will be how you spend your days. Near wifi most of the time? Get the tab. On the move a lot or need a powerful phone? Nexus 4. And then there's the price difference. Even though the Nexus is a bargain, price difference is big.

I have a Nexus 10 and have been really happy with it. I will say that the stock ROM is a bit buggy which hopefully Google will sort out soon. I've been running several custom ROM's and have found the, to be much more stable. The screen is gorgeous btw!

depending on your budget i would suggest going either for nexus 7 or the nexus 10. both are really good tabs

You may want to wait a few months for the new tablets to come out with Nvidia Tegra 4.
But if you must buy a tablet right now, it depends on what you want and your budget. Here is a last of tablets and some things about them:
Asus Transformer TF700: Attachable keyboard, nice Asus apps, fast OTAs, fast processor, good gaming device
Nexus 10: Fastest processor on the market, gets updates before any other brand devices (direct from google)
Nexus 7: Cheap, decent processor, gets updates at the same time as Nexus 10
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Not Galaxy Tab 2 10.1): Multiview, stylus, Samsung mini apps, TouchWiz (Some people hate TouchWiz but I like it), decent processor.

I love my nexus 10, this is a great example of the way android is meant to operate.

Between this and the TF700 for a purchase

knocked out the kindle because of problems iwth unlocking and a lot of consensus of it NOT having a display that's better than tha Tab 2 and a lot of I/O issues with the Asus.
What would you guys say is the main problems for the galaxy tab 2 10.1? For someone who plans on immediately rooting and AOSPing a Tab 2 10.1? I plan on streaming HD movies and TV SHows during bedtime from my media server and for reading the Economist Kindle. I'm an intern pending a job at the end so I can't spend $500+ for a tablet.
My current android device is a very smooth and customized (look at my signature) Galaxy S3. I never keep stock bloatware

well it is your choice you can go to a retailer and check out the device !! but also you can go for the nexus 10 a very nice competier

TF700 maybe a good choice, or Galaxy Tab3 8.0 ?

Help me deciding which device shall i get

Dears ,
i am using android for years now not a new user ,, i used to carry 2 phones one for work the other for my personal use like games, watching movies, listening to music, etc...
I had Note 3 N9005 and Moto G Dual SIM but both was stolen from me 2 weeks ago ,, i decided to get a cheap device with 2 SIMs to carry instead of buying a 2 new mobiles - there is no money of-course- so i picked LG G PRO Lite Dual a dual SIM phone from LG which is good so far with big screen doing the job and LG announced that the device will be updated to Kitkat by the end of the year which is not bad
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_announces_kitkat_updates_for_older_optimus_models-news-8908.php
So now i am using this phone for all matters ,, Mails Music Movies Work ,, i miss having my own personal device for my entertainment and can't decide ,, shall i get a tablet ,, shall i wait for Note 4 ?! but don't think that it's a good idea to carry 2 big size phones
if i will get a tablet which is better ?! Galaxy Note or Galaxy Note Pro ?! Shall i wait for the Tab S ?! Next Nexus tablet ?! very confusing to choose
so please advice if you have a similar situation ,,, what shall i do ??!
Thank You
