love the super amoled screen and the perfect size/thickness

still waiting for accessories (casing, SP, car charger etc..) ordered on eBay, before fully using it

I'm using this 30pin to micro usb adapter as backup charger. Advantage is you can use your normal handphone charger which has micro usb connection to charge the Tab. Somehow the adapter boosts enough current to charge the tab as well... so no need to bring so many chargers when on the go...
will confirm if it works when charging on PC usb as well

for the micro usb charger, is it 1A type also can be used? or must be 2A too?

I've used it with samsung charger 0.7A... no problems charging to 100%

You need at least 2A to charge the Tab . Anything lower you will see battery charging crossed out and extremely slow , which is as good as not charging it

uncle benny, I've used it with chargers less than 1A (0.7A & 0.8A) and the battery charging is NOT crossed out... it indicates battery is charging

without the micro usb charger, it will not charge 100% even after leaving overnight

don't know why the adapter works, but it does biggrin.gif

I am confused now. I think I have mistaken the issue here. What is this micro USB charger ?
*
it's not a charger but a 30pin to micro usb adapter...

use any regular charger with micro usb connection to charge your tab

looking for BT Keyboard for landscape mode... i think the samsung dock is only for potrait mode (correct me if I'm wrong)

and don't like the cheap looking leather case + keyboard widely available

What do guys think of this keyboard (Zagg Folio) ? It's for the 10.1, the BT Keyboard shud be compatible with 7.7

Don't really need the case, the tab can slip & stand in the keyboard groove on landscape or potrait mode without back support (as shown in youtube review)

Do recommend other BT keyboard if available.

Designed for the 10.1... works nicely with the 7.7

Like the feel of the keypad, slim and light body, silver body matches the tab 7.7, battery lasts for months rclxms.gif
has some useful shortcuts as well (home, return, screen brightness, sound volume, copy/cut/paste)

also comes with sleeve for keyboard + tab 10.1 but not shown in photos
