Just want to know your experince, heavy gamer should use ipad instead of TAB?
Any reason behind this?
*
well..

Portability

Obviously Gtab wins, it can actually fits in ur pocket. Thats hows i bring it around without any pouch or bags.
Unlike Ipad. i need to bring along a sling bag to fit it in.

The Gtab is definitely nicer to hold and type on. Ipad would be great too if u have Caucasian sized hands..

Gaming

Ipad for sure wins so far. Though most of the Gameloft games are coming/came to Android but Ipad always gets the best first. From Infinity Blade to the seasonal angry birds.

I played BIA2 on both device, Ipad somewhat gave me a smoother feel when maneuvering the on screen controls.

Bigger better screen sure is a plus for gaming..thus IPad wins. You hands get cramped after that..haha

Browsing

1 word : Flash
It makes a whole load different experience.

Other than those..its just Android VS IOS

thought of getting my tab today n hanging on to my ipad just in case!
i`m not a gamer but enjoys mobility n easy access to the net.
i`ll join the gang n look forward to the Tab gang meeting aft CNY!!

thats a wise choice. just keep both. haha..
best of both worlds. but i bet u will be bring out gtab more than ipad.

GUYS..

theres something i dont understand.
Ive watch those videos on youtube bout how tough the Gorilla glass is...
But in the end i still have a scratch on my gtab.
Its just in and out of my pocket daily.. no keys..no coins..nothing possible that could scratch it.
wtf right...

conclusion: even a Gorilla has its soft side.

i believe theres some elements that can scratch the gorilla glass which they havent figure out.
keys, hammer, pointy things..those are the things they tested on.

maybe temperature? sweat? grease? that weakens it?

maybe...maybe...

used that kinda case on my htc magic before..

for me..i think its best to apply invisible shield or something like that.
those cases will protect the back of the phone indeed but from the side..dust will somehow accumulate and repeatedly scratch the inside of it when u least expected.

Hey bro.... are you using stock ROM?? I faced the same issue also... very disappointed! sad.gif(
Change the network to GSM only dont seem to have this problem.

Now upgrading to JM4 and hope it solves this issue. Otherwise will need to try flashing to other custom ROM.
*
mine is already running on jm4 stock rom.
i tried to root it previously but cant seems to work with z4root. so i give up..going to use it as it is..
bcos the z4root failure made my tab lag like shite . i need to reflash it.

YES - you can use 5v/1000mA this is the minimum. Anyway any compatible cigarette lighter or desktop charger is cheap - as long as it can charge the ipad it can charge the TAB. My USB cigarette lighter only 1000mA and infact I find charge the TAB equally well - I also use it to charge my previous ipad and Dell Streak

Few Msian users in this forum with JMx firmware has successfully root using superoneclick . Sure can work - if cannot usually means your PC fail to detect TAB. Troubleshooting this please refer my post #3 for solutions. Don't assume the TAB is detected by the PC

Use Superoneclick to root

thanks..i know that works..just that it requires a bit more work compare to z4root..haha

Means Digi's problem or the Tab?

QUOTE(L7Awesome @ Feb 28 2011, 08:37 AM)
I swap between Digi and another provider.  When I use Digi, sometimes the traffic will drop or hang.  It's seems to be very common not only on the Tab but my previous Samsung i780 as well.  I can conclude that this is a Digi issue.  What you can do is to get another provider's SIM and try it out.  The thing is that the place I use Digi is at it's borderline based on the map in Digi 3G/BB website.

thanks for the reply guys..

time to switch to the other side..hehe

I have a problem with my Tab where when you lock it, sometimes when you go to unlock it the Tab has turned itself off and you have to hold the power button for a long while to turn it back on.

anybody?
thanks

Just installed Modaco kernel ( no ext 4 convert ) , during kernel change the original rom will be backup on ext sdcard. Rename the backup file as original stock. From recovery , just restore back


Added on March 4, 2011, 9:59 pm

It should be download mode NOT recovery when you want to flash with Odin


Added on March 4, 2011, 10:01 pm

What mail app ? If this happens only after you change rom. try address it to the developer to get a fast answer


Added on March 4, 2011, 10:05 pm

Looks like battery issue . the TAB should not switch off itself on locked mode. Do you have any apps controlling battery usage that at default after some time shut down phone
*
Sometimes when I plug in the power. It shows the locked screen but totally can't touch anything. Need to force shut down. I didn't root my tab. So shouldn't have any issues I think.

suggest you do a hard reset and see whether issue arise again. use titanium backup or mybackuppro to backup. these 2 software you need to root phone. If you dont want to root, than reinstall all apps allover again.
If issue again, than is definately battery issue , send in ask for replacement battery
*
but been using for months. only recently this problem randomly occurs.
if its the battery. how come when i plug in, the screen still lights up at the locked screen.
like u said.could it be the apps? task killer whatsoever? any possible apps that will do such thing ?

thanks for ur reply.
