[Completed] Dilemma for which Tab to buy.! - XDA Assist

Hello there guys and thank you all in advance for your dedication and your help.! I want to buy a Tablet pretty soon and i am amongst 2 of Samsung's Tab 4 T533 or Tab A T550. I need a Tablet which can be rooted for sure cause i'll need to install X Mod to this Tablet. So i think i saw that Tab A is already rootable (not sure though). From the other hand i think that Tab 4 is certainly better.. So you know anything about when Tab 4 will be rootable? Or should i just go for Tab A which is already rootable (i think).. Thanks for your time again guys and really hope to get an answer from you soon.

The P3100 has phone,SMS etc. I've recently swapped my galaxy note 2 for a tab 2 as my sole device. Use it as a phone or with wired, Bluetooth headset etc. Just class it as a big phone.
Note that the WiFi only version has no phone capability
Answered with some research.....

I did a lot of research, but it was not clear for me at all.
Yesterday I contacted a french hi-tech seller about the galaxy tab 2. The guy answered me that I cannot phone with it. If I want phone capability, I have to buy the note 10.
I'm sorry but the subject of "Can I use my tablet as a phone" is a tricky one, or at least not clear at all.
I'm planning to offer a tablet as a gift for my parents. So if I can phone with the Tab 2, then I'll buy it for Xmas. Otherwise, I have to find another one !
So guys here are saying that the galaxy tab 2 has phone capabilities. Without any modifications ? Any country ? It works out of the box ?

This is good news. Thank you very much to all of you.
The Tab 2 is much cheaper than the note 10, so it's a good option for me.
see ya,

P3100 is the 3G version of the 7 inch Tab 2 and it's totally different to Note 10, i hope you know this. It's not the 10 inch Tab 2 and there are 6 types of Tab 2: P3100, P3110, P3113, P5100, P5110 and P5113.

Waa, thanks for asking. I meant the 10 inch version.... 7 inch is too small for my old parents !!!! :silly:
Does it change anything ? The 10 inch version does not have phone capabilities ?

I have not bought it yet. I am searching for a "good" one. good means 10 inchs with phone capabilities...
tab 2 10.1 have 3g version too just like 7.0 but i forgot what is the phone model.. hmm maybe p5100?
P5100 is the 3G version of Tab 2 10.1 inch and it has support for GSM voice communication, SMS and MMS.
Great! Thank you so much!
I will buy this one!

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.

[Q] Galaxy R or Galaxy Express?

Should I stick with the Galaxy R? Or get an Express once it's out? It's I8730 btw.
The specs seem almost similar to me. Please tell me the difference between the two also?
Thanks!

the only major i can see is they have removed tegra 2 cpu!and put amoled scrreen!not worth upgrading since u could order nexus 4 for 22k through ppobox ,which is the best phone rite now!
First, use Q/A thread.
Now, its like asking for new mobile for which we already have a thread. So better to move on that thread then making new one. But if you have already made then There are two
1) Galaxy Grand -> Cheap & best in its Range
2) Nexus 4 -> If you are lucky then you can have it.

Im surprised there is'nt ALOT more Custom Roms for the Tab 3 T211

Im honestly surprised there is'nt more Custom Roms available for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211, for instance, Roms like Miui, C.M 10.2, AOKP, PACMAN, or even a Touch Wiz 4.3 Updated jump Off to run flawlessly on the Tab 3 T211. Im like really Baffled over here wondering whats going on, this is a great lil device , however this stock 4.1.2 SUCKs. Please, we need a great developer to cook up something RAW for us to Flash. Thanks for listening....

I really hope for someone will make it soon. I can't do it myself, I don't understand the program language.
So, for you developer, thanks b4. Maybe you can spent your time to make a CM with very2 updated Android sistem (maybe 4.4).

Hey A, You just gave me hope..!!
I honestly hope your Right Buddy, cause from what i see in the forum theres only literally only 2 Custom Roms, Dont get me wrong i TRULY appreciate ALL Devs in this Forum and XDA as a whole, But i definitely dont know how to even start cooking up a Custom Rom, however if ANY devs would need any help with anything simple i always available and willing to assist. Now could it be there isnt many Roms for the T211 cause its fairly new, about how old it is already 6 months old..?? Cause thats a bit of time already. well i hope your right buddy, cant wait to have at least 1 sick rom with UNRESTRICTED TETHERING... I WISH ALL THE BEST TO ALL Devs and everyone as a whole in XDA..

We are here to help one another- Let us work hand in hand in helping to get this device to work as great as possible. Honestly speaking this device may be lagging at times....but this can be resolved by Kernel revamp plus tweaks like :
- Scorpion Bionic Optimisation
- Neon script
My setup to be honest :
Stock ROM..Rooted
Crossbeeder Tweak
So far have not removed any bloatware yet and with the above setup my Antutu (full test) score is on my SM-T211
It'll be worth the wait. My phone is a Motorola Atrix HD. It was released August 2012 and didn't get any real development until the bootloader was unlocked in April of 2013. Since then it has most all of the major ROM's on 4.4.2. Everyone kept saying the same thing about this time last year. Just stick it out.

Totally Understand your dilemma..
Hey B, the deference with the the Galaxy Tab is there no BootLoader holding back the development. i honestly think no big development is acquiring because of the hardware, its not much to brag about, its only a Dual core, i think thats the problem, and with this stock System its really laggy, well for me it is, cause i have the note 2 as well. Anyway i will be here patiently waiting cause in really loving this device, once it get some steroids then ill love it even more. Thanksss.

Once thats downloaded press the menu botton on the botton left side of the Tab 3, then press settings, go to and Click on ''Change Device-profile", then scrool down and tap on Samsung S3, then Click on ''Chanse SetUp-Method" then press "Netd-Ndc (master), then Check on "Wifi-driver reload", thats all it takes, ENJOY..!! Your going to see other options Checked, leave it as is, as for "Wifi-Encryption" you can click that on and set up a Name and password, i did... Hope this is use full.

So to make sure that I understand what you are saying... I could, instead of having a Wi-Fi Hot Spot from Sprint, have a Tab 3 from Sprint with a data plan, install this, and then be able to use this tablet as a Hot Spot? I currently use my Note 3 (that has unlimited data) but there are times I'd rather have the Hot Spot (or this tablet) as how I connect my laptop to the internet (Like when 4G isn't available and using the Note on 3G basically disables the ability to do phone and data simultaneously).
I don't use the Hot Spot very much so I could probably do this with a limited data plan on the tablet and get away with it.
Anyway. Too long of a post to simply ask if this allows tethering of a Laptop to the Tab 3 for the laptop to use the Tab 3's data plan.
Thanks!

Well 4.4 Kitkat is coming soon from Samsung. Most people like Touchwiz and you can't get a lot working beyond 4.2.2 in any ROM until Samsung drops a new version and the libs can be updated. Not much to do until 4.4 comes that hasn't already been done. Root, then a few tweaks and the tab really hums. When you branch off into cell providers tab versions it gets even harder because you need new /different kernels, modems and firmware specifically for them. In other words there just isn't that much demand for custom ROMs and it takes a lot of effort.
Its funny you say that D.
There isn't even 4.2.2 Build out for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211.. The Tab 3 T311 came with 4.2.2 out the BOX, so it has nothing to do with waiting, cause 4.2.2 is there, however your right when you say there isn't any Devs willing to put in there quality time to cook anything up for the T211, I dont know why cause this Device is a nice lil jump off, so i just made the decision to sell it and cop the Tab 3 8'' T311. Much better device, barely any lag and it came running 4.2.2 out the box, Plus it comes with 16gigs of internal storage, and it just costed me ONLY an extra $10 after selling the T211 for $350, i came off like a fat rat.. lol... So I have my Note 3 Tweaked out, running Jovy23 Darthstalker V6 Custom Rom, Tethering my Tab 3 T311 FLAWLESSLY... Im Loving It..!! :0

Stop hoping.. WHen Tab3s get the official 4.4 is when you will see a working 4.4 . You can't port things without a proper kernel , libs, blobs, and framework to build on. Libs and blobs are not all open source and its tricky to build a kernel without a vendor base. Samsung should be pushing out some 4.4 in April / May

Cell carrier versions always lag behind because they require the cell carrier to add in their bits , kernel, radio, modem, etc.
Hey T.F
I Agree, i would LOVE a T.W 4.4.2 KitKat myself. Im running CM11 (Big Up to CM) and its running GREAT, FLAWLESSLY on my T311, however I Know TW 4.4.2 KitKat will be ported at some point to our 8" Tab 3, look at the bright side though, at-least we have a few options and are not stuck on 4.1.2 like the T211....
QUOTE=thefoss;51314636]I just got a Tab 3 8.0. Was really hoping for a 4.4.2 Tab Pro port[/QUOTE]
Well after reading all comments ... its mean this device is not so good ? Complaints about lags or no custom rom?
Even on stock rom you can improve performance with tweaks like edit your build.prop and add some tweak or add tweak in init.d folder like fly-on mod...
For me I use stock rom 4.1.2 with some tweaks on build.prop
I can play games like asphalt 8 or gta san andreas or play psp game almost smooth with no lag except some game on psp emulator of course I cant compare with my nvidia shield... but for me this galaxy tab 3 7.0 is good enough
Here my score on antutu

Looking for some good "Phablet"...

Hey all...
I'm actually using a Galaxy Note 4 in my private time... Now I'm looking for an atleast 7" Tablet (Phablet, what ever) for working business... As I'm not up to date what devices are on the market right now i thought i could ask for help here. I thought about something like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra if i remember right...
The device should at least meet the following speccs:
LTE
~7" Screen
1.5+gb ram
root has to be possible
Android 5+
U got to use it as a phone without using a headset (yeah i know it might look funny to hold an 7" tablet on ur ears )
As for the hardware speccs anything like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T715 LTE would be nice. But this 8" seems to be a bit unhandy.
I appologize for my bad english and hope for some nice ideas on what to buy
Thnx in advance
