    Help Dual-CDMA/GSM and Hangouts question

    So is this a totally unlocked dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone? Will a phone purchased from the Play Store be able to be activated on Sprint or is Sprint getting a CDMA only variant? Second question is regarding Hangouts. Will Hangouts on KitKat get the SIM-Free calling feature that iOS recently got?

    Picasa Web Albums Problem

    I remember having this problem on my GTab 8.9 as well. Whenever I have pictures from my Google account sync to my Note II, it syncs every picture I've posted on G+ as a separate album, which horribly clutters my gallery with irrelevant and pointless albums. I remember not having this problem...

    Missing notification icon and updating with root

    2 questions. First: I have a blank spot in my notification bar up top that doesn't seem to correllate with any of my apps. Does anyone else experience this? See picture below for reference. Second question, I rooted using Odin, but I kept the stock bootloader. Basically I rooted just so I...

    My impressions

    Picked it up today at the Sprint Store. Tried to get it at Best Buy, but that's a story for another day. Build: The build feels really nice. It's definitely "plasticky", but the slider mechanism feels pretty solid. No less than the Samsung Moment it's replacing, and that thing has lasted 2+...

    NFC Help

    So I went to McDonalds today so I could try out Google Wallet. I went to the wireless settings to make sure NFC was turned on, went to Google Wallet to make sure it was unlocked and the $10 debit card was selected as the card I wanted to use, and I made sure I connected to the McDonalds wifi and...

    Help Missing voice commands

    On my original EVO 4G running CM7, I can long press the search button to get the voice command box and say things like "Send message to _______, " and then state my message in order to send text messages. On my N7 when I say "Send message to______, " it responds with "This device cannot perform...

    Looking for a keyboard case

    I am looking to see if anyone knows about a slideout keyboard case for the Galaxy Nexus like the ones they sell for the iPhone. My wife needs something to replace her Samsung Moment and the Nexus would be perfect if I could find a keyboard case, since she demands she have a keyboard. When I...

    Help How to update?

    I've noticed on my GTab 8.9 that when I go to the settings to check for a software update it forces me to either sign in with or create a Samsung account. I do not want to get a Samsung account but I can't see any other way to get my tablet to check for updates, i.e. the new 3.2 update that just...

    Help Back Cover removal

    Okay, so I was reading through the manual and I realized that I can actually remove the back cover and install a MicroSD card. I just assumed that this thing was sealed up. I tried to remove the back cover but I keep getting nervous because I'm placing a lot of pressure on the device but it...

    MHL Support on Honeycomb?

    Hey everyone, I just got my EVO View and updated it to honeycomb. I bought an MHL cable from Amazon because I read that the EVO View had an MHL connector on it. So I plugged it into my EVO and my HDTV, the screen on my HDTV went black indicating that it detected at least "something" plugged in...

    High profile h.264 support?

    One of my major beefs with my galaxy tab 8.9 and other tegra 2 devices is that they cannot play the videos that I encode in high profile h.264 even though my HTC evo can play it just fine. Can anyone confirm that this problem had been fixed on tegra 3 devices? For reference,I use freemake to...

    Got my 8.9, still unsure

    I got an 8.9 last night at BB. I definitely love Samsung's form factor. That thinness is a must have in a tablet IMHO. I had a Xoom for about a month before I returned it because of its weight and uneven shape on the back. The plastic construction is bearable, but longterm I am going to want...

    Here's hoping for a launch on Oct 11

    Okay, everyone knows that Tuesday's event is going to be the Nexus Prime launch and the Ice Cream Sandwich launch. But I'm hoping there will be a "one more thing" and that they'll announce availability of the Tab 7.7 as well.

    IR Xmitter? I'm sold! But it's still probably a no-go

    So I've decided I can live with needing adapters for the obnoxious AIO connector. The IR Xmitter blows the door open for universal remote apps which I've wanted for a long time without needing a dongle or some sort of add on. Now here's the trick, they've clearly positioned this device for...

    SAMOLED+ just might be the irresistible feature

    So I had pretty much given up on the 8.9 because I couldn't get past needing an adapter for everything. But being that SAMOLED+ is a Samsung creation and noone else is likely to have it, even if they make a 7 inch tablet, I just might be sold on the 7.7. Damn you exclusivity!

    Is Costco getting the Tab 10.1?

    This is sort of a preemptive thread in case anyone gets some inside information. I got my Xoom at Costco and plan on returning it for a Tab 10.1. It'd be nice if I could execute the whole deal at the same place. Does anyone know anything I don't? It seems the Xoom is still the only honeycomb...

    Did anyone get a Google I/O Tab 10.1 today?

    Please, if anyone got a limited edition Tab 10.1 today at Google I/O, please stop spending all your time playing with it :p and share some information, maybe pictures with the community. I'm dying to know how the weight and feel of it compares to an iPad 2.

    Help Radio app?

    I was wondering if there was an FM radio app like the one on my evo that would use a headphone cable as an antenna to pull in FM signals? Anything I found on the market was for internet radio or a local station database.

    Help h.264?

    Does anyone know what's up with shoddy h.264 playback on the xoom? I have some movies that I converted using Freemake using the android preset with h.264. They won't play. I've even converted some youtube lectures for my college classes that are 360p, and they don't work either. If I use the...

    Who is waiting for the Tab 8.9?

    I was going to get a Wifi Xoom until I held the iPad 2. Then I realized how much those extra millimeters mean when crafting a modern tablet. I was stoked when Samsung announced their super slim Tab 8.9 and 10.1. I'd love to go down and buy a 10.1 when they're released, but I prefer the smaller...

    Can we get more sub-forums please?

    Would it be possible to get a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 forum going here? I keep looking for discussions about it but all the discussions in the tab forum are on, well, the 7 inch galaxy tab.

    Help Would a dual-usb cable charge this thing?

    Xoom comes with the dock? (no)

    I'm going to go ahead and assume building43 was mistaken and he just happened to be sent a dock for review purposes. He says during his video (good video btw) that the Xoom comes with the dock. I really find this hard to believe. I asked him about it in the comments section but no response yet...
