CyanogenMod Now Serving Up 10.1 Nightlies For The Note 10.1 Wi-Fi (N8013) And GSM (N8000)

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News

Hey Note 10.1 owners – ready for some CyanogenMod 10.1 goodness? Great, because it's finally here. The first CM10.1 nightlies are fresh out of the oven for the N8000 (GSM) and N8013 (Wi-Fi) models over at Get.CM as of just a bit ago.

Definition: A "nightly" is a bleeding edge release that is built on a daily basis, usually at night after a full day's worth of new code has been committed.

It could oftentimes be unstable and not properly tested, lacking any changelogs, but eventually evolving into alphas, betas, release candidates, and finally stable releases.

As always, if you plan on giving 10.1 a try, don't forget to grab the latest GApps.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, News

You know what's fun? Source code. Source code is fun. OK, maybe it's not everyone's idea of fun, but Samsung has just released the kernel code for three more tablets – the international Note 10.1 (GT-N8010), Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5110), and tab 2 7 (GT-P3110) – and we thought some people may get excited about that.

This means more tweaks, mods, and other un-stock things are coming to the aforementioned devices. So, if you've been waiting to overclock (or some other neat thing) your tablet, keep an eye on your favorite dev – all the goodies should be just around the corner.

Everything Everywhere Offers The First LTE Tablet In The UK: Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Everything Everywhere (EE), Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News, Nexus 7

Say what you will about the sorry state of broadband in the US, we were one of the first to have large-scale LTE networks available to the public. It took about a year for mainland Europe to catch up, and the UK is still in the very early stages of getting their high-speed networks started. Everything Everywhere (EE) has taken the lead on the tablet front, offering the very first LTE tablet to United Kingdom wireless users: Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1. Plans start at £25.99 per month for 3GB of high-speed data.

On the cheapest plan, the Note 10.1 LTE will cost £249.99.

Jelly Bean 4.1 Starts Rolling Out To Wi-Fi Galaxy Note 10.1 In Germany

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News

If there's one thing you can say about Samsung, it's that the company is at least trying to push out updates, with a sizeable number of devices already running Jelly Bean. Sure, it's 4.1 and about six months behind the Nexus baseline, but the company is better than most manufacturers about rolling out updates lately. As if to demonstrate this, the Wi-Fi Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8010) has started to receive Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (JRO03C) in Germany.

XDA users in Germany are reporting that the update is rolling out to their devices right now. No word yet on when or if this will roll out to any other countries, but we imagine that slates unbound by carrier restrictions will see it sooner rather than later.

Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 (3G / Wi-Fi) Jelly Bean Update Rolling Out In UK, Spain, And Nordic Countries

Posted by David Ruddock in Device Updates, Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), Jelly Bean 4.1, News

After beginning its steady march to wide release in Germany a few weeks ago, the Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) update for the Galaxy Note 10.1 is making its way to more European nations today. The UK, Spain, and various Nordic nations (presumably Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland) have the firmware available now (grab it here or here), if you're feeling impatient. Otherwise, just keep hitting that "check update" button over the next week or two, and sweet Jelly Bean goodness should be on its way to you shortly.

This presumably includes the "Premium Suite" upgrade we covered last week, that enhances multi-windows functionality, adds air view, and many other features found on the Note II smartphone.

Samsung Shows Off The Upcoming Premium Suite-Enhanced Jelly Bean Update For The Note 10.1

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News, Videos

Last Updated: November 24th, 2012

When Samsung first launched the Note 10.1, it had some really solid ideas, but didn't do so well with the implementation. Soon after, the company released the the Note II, which improved on how it handled a lot of things that seemed to miss the mark on the Note 10.1 - namely multi-window, which allows more than one application to be run side-by-side.

Good news, though - Sammy just released a video that highlights the upcoming Premium Suite features that will be part of the Jelly Bean update, and it looks like they made a pretty major overhaul to multi-window.

Samsung Releases Open Source Kernel Files For Galaxy Camera, Note 10.1, And Others

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Galaxy Camera, Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, Jelly Bean 4.1, Samsung, Stratosphere II

Samsung is back again with a fresh batch of source, today dropping open source kernel files for the Note 10.1 (N8000), its LTE counterpart N8020, the Stratosphere II (SCH-I415), and Sprint's version of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SPH-P500). The most interesting device on the list, though, is probably the Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100), which is just arriving at UK retailers this month, with no firm date announced for a state-side debut. Though the Galaxy Camera is a somewhat unconventional Android device, it's still great to see Samsung keeping up with its pattern of timely open source file releases.

If you've been waiting to put your hands on the official kernel source for these devices, or just want to take a peek at what makes them tick, hit the appropriate link below.

Brussels Philharmonic Replaces Sheet Music with Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Android OS, Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News

It looks like the Galaxy Note 10.1, despite our review, has found a higher purpose after all – as a digital sheet of paper. Looking for a solution for more quickly distributing sheet music while cutting down on waste, the Brussels Philharmonic has adopted a fleet of Note 10.1s to act as dynamic digital song books.

In the Philharmonic's search for efficiency, they initially turned to neoScores, whose software allows for quick, easy sharing, discovery, annotation, and use of digital sheet music. Samsung will be providing one hundred Galaxy Note 10.1 units to the orchestra members, all pre-loaded with neoScores' app, and all with their own S-Pen to quickly flip pages.
