Samsung Releases Kernel Source For The AT&T Galaxy Express And T-Mobile Tab 2 10.1

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Express, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News, T-Mobile

Do you ever wonder if Samsung gets tired of releasing devices? While most manufacturers have vowed to release fewer superfluous phone and tablets, ol' Sammy is still going strong, offering up new Galaxy devices almost weekly. Maybe some people like the choice. Or maybe not. Either way, I don't see any signs of them slowing any time soon.

With more devices, of course, also comes more source code. Today's batch of piping hot source is for the Galaxy Express on AT&T and the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 on T-Mobile. Hackers, modders, and tinkerers, this one's for you - hit the source links below to grab the download and do things with it.

Available Today On Sprint: LG Optimus G, LG Mach, And Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 LTE

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Mach, News, Optimus G, Sprint

If you've been aching to buy a new device on Sprint, today may be a good day to stroll through the doors of one of the carrier's retail shops to check out the new arrivals: the LG Optimus G, LG Mach, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 LTE.

The Optimus G is, of course, the flagship of the bunch, sporting a 4.7" TrueHD IPS+ panel, 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2GB RAM, and Android 4.0. This device is, for all intents and purposes, a non-Nexus version of the Nexus 4. Even though the OS is now dated, the hardware is still solid and performance should be among the best in its class.

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.

Samsung Posts Jelly Bean Open Source Files For Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, 7.0, AT&T Galaxy Note II

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Samsung

It looks like Samsung has posted up some fresh new open source files today, including files for the AT&T-connected Galaxy Note II. The real story, though, is that Jelly Bean open source files have also been posted for both the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, neither of which have received their official 4.1 updates just yet.

Readers may remember Samsung hinting at an impending update for these (and other devices) back in September, but the availability of these files may suggest that the update is looming very near.

AT&T Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 With LTE Launches November 9th

Posted by David Ruddock in AT&T, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News

Starting Friday, you can get your hands on an LTE-enabled variant of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for AT&T, for $500 sans contractual obligation. And, if you buy a Samsung Galaxy smartphone (read: a Galaxy S III) with a new 2-year agreement on AT&T, they'll give you $100 off on a Tab 2 10.1. And that... might be of interest to you. This AT&T edition is also $50 cheaper than Sprint's. As for specifications:

10.1" 1280x800 display
1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon MSM8960
1GB RAM
8GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
3MP rear camera, VGA front camera
Android 4.0

And if you have an AT&T Mobile Share plan, you can add this tablet onto your existing data plan for $10, which is certainly one advantage of shared data buckets.

[Update: Price And Release Date] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 LTE Making Its Way To Sprint In The Near Future

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News, Sprint

Update 11/1/12: The tablet will come out on November 11th for $549.99.

Another day, ten new Samsung device announcements. We've already taken a look at the Galaxy Music this morning, and now the Korean manufacturer has announced the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is coming to Sprint's growing LTE network.

This is Sprint's first LTE-powered tablet, and packs a bit of a spec boost over the Wi-Fi model:

10.1" 1280x800 display
1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon MSM8960
1GB RAM
8GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
3MP rear shooter, VGA front camera
10.1 inches x 6.9 inches x 0.38 inches, 1.29 lbs.
Android 4.0

Like most other recent device announcements, there's no word on pricing or availability, only that it "will be announced at a later date." Cool.

T-Mobile's Galaxy Note II Official Today For A Wallet-Emptying $370, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Available 'In The Coming Weeks'

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News, T-Mobile

Today's the day, T-Mobile folks: the Galaxy Note II can be yours for the low, low price of... $370. OK, so maybe that's not low at all. If you want to get it cheaper, Wirefly's your best bet. Still, if you prefer to walk in to a T-Mo store and walk out with a brand new behemoth in your pocket, you can do that - you'll just have to pay extra.

T-Mobile also announced today an upcoming addition to its tablet collection: the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. The Tab 2 10.1 (I still hate that name) packs a 1.5GHz dual-core chip, along with a solitary gig of RAM, and Android 4.0.

AT&T Announces A Handful Of New Galaxy Devices: Express, Rugby Pro, And Tab 2 10.1

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Galaxy Express, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Rugby Pro, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News

Last Updated: January 14th, 2013

Wow, AT&T. Instead of sending multiple device announcements on different days, the company just announced a few new smartphones and a tablet for its 4G LTE network, all of which are made by Samsung. Let's take a look, shall we?

Samsung Galaxy Express

The Galaxy Express seems to be sort of a tweener device. Not in terms of "your child between the ages of 10 and 12 will love it!" but in that it appears to be right in the middle of the Galaxy S III and some mid-range devices.

4.5" Super AMOLED display
1.5GHz dual-core processor
5MP rear shooter
2000mAh battery
Android 4.0

Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro

Much like its predecessor, the Galaxy Rugby Pro is a rough and rugged mid-ranger.

CyanogenMod 9 Hits RC2, Adds Support For Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Skyrocket, International SIII, And More

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News

Each and every day we inch closer to a final release of CM9. While we're all excited for CM9 to hit the stable channel, we all know what that really means: we're one step closer to CM10 nightlies and Jelly Bean goodness across the board. In fact, a few devices have already gotten an early taste of what CM10 will be like.

As excited as we all are for CM10, though, those who are currently running CM9 will be glad to know that RC2 was released late last night. As expected, this basically just brings stability improvements and bugfixes, but it also adds support for a handful of new devices:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (all variants)
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Samsung Galaxy S II (T-Mobile)
Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T)
Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 (International version only)

As noted above, RC2 for the Galaxy S III is for the version of the device with the Exynos processor only.

Official CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Arrive For The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 And Tab 2 10.1

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Android OS, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, News

With everyone anticipating the introduction of fabled CM10 builds, the CyanogenMod team is still hard at work bringing official CM9 support to even more devices. The latest additions to the list are the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (p3100, 3110, and 3113) and Tab 2 10.1 (p5100, 5110, 5113), each with their own nightlies ready for download and flashing.

It's worth noting, of course, that since these devices are just receiving their first nightlies, you may run into a bug here or there. But that's part of the fun of staying on the cutting edge of CM support, right? To grab your device's nightly build, just hit the appropriate link below.
