Let me just preface this post by saying I Never Ever Ever start threads I come to forums like many of you for knowledge, news, tips, and just to all around see whats going on in tech. Thispost is far out my character for two reasons. 1 Because I LOVE and support android OS and 2 becuase I never wanna bother other readers with my personal experiences. That being said this ladies and gents is a code red emergency. Before i go any further let me just say that all the views and examples i speak of here are nothing more than my opinion and my personal experiences and are not meant to condem any product or company. Ok..........sigh I HATE my Galaxy Tab 10.1 More than ANY electronic ive ever purchased in my entire life. Im typing this post using it and its taken 17 minutes to get to this point simply because the keyboard is lagging that bad when I go to correct a typing error it takes 8-12 tries to put the cursor in the right spot. Now before you ask anything or assume anything the answer is YES! Ive done it all. Hard reset soft reset update root overclok custom rom touchwiz official touchwiz nothing has been a decent usable experience. I work at sprint I got the GalaxyTab the first day we had it available in the store. In my store im the TABLET guy I set'em all up know the most about'em and sell the most. In our store currently we have the Xoom the Evo View the BB playbook the GalaxyTab 7inch and the GalaxyTab 10.1. I also own a Toshiba Thrive which I purchased after only having the GT for 48 Hours. It was that bad. My main problem is the Amazing reviews this thing got. How smoothed it looked in all the review videos and how every site called it the first true competitor for the ipad of HoneyComb tablets. I know im partially to blame for trusting samsung after dealing with Kies desktop software on my GF galaxy S on Tmobile. Or the fact that that phone has the most horrible gps chipset known to man. Or that although light and sleek in design the build quality of samsung mobile products is almost laughable when compared to something like HTC or Moto. Or even better still knowing that there update history alone is enough to stay away from anything samsung mobile. Or the daily I see the samsung epic come in for service and or repair due to lag failed OTA updates and lines in the screen. But yet I went against every bone in my body and gave samsung a chance on my first owned tablet experience and boy was i in for a nightmare. Now i myself am a Android lover/supporter like the next man but Ive come to the realization that HoneyComb is very much a beta feeling OS I dont think i'll personally get that true tab feeling on android until ICS but I knew what i was getting into with HC so no big deal there. Problem is this tab for me at least has been plauged from minute one with issues the biggest of them being LAG! My god i cant tell you how bad this thing lags. Everywhere in the browser switching homescreens opening apps live wallpaper keyboard input you name it its lagging. Rooted and overclocked to 1.4Ghz hard reboot fresh install of the new touchwiz no new apps nothing on any homescreen its almost unbearble. Now granted I dont think people for the most part are having the level of lag and issues that im having. But based on my extended use of 4 different galaxy tabs, my co-workers our store demo my friends and mine. None of them perform as well as ive seen and heard in reviews video and written. Idk maybe my expectations were to high, maybe the tegra 2 really isnt all that maybe honeycomb is a little too beta. But wait none of that can be true cause I love my tegra 2 rockin honeycomb sportin toshiba thrive tab. I do get a little lag here and there on the keypad and HD video playback is still hit or miss but otherwise it well out performs my GT on almost every level. So i dont know maybe I got a lemon Im gonna exchage it tomorrow for a new one but Im not very hopeful. Maybe im doing something wrong who knows. All i know is as a HTC live or die type of guy I gave samsung a chance and i feel burned........BAD! I own an Evo 3D and it destroys my GT in smoothness and jusy overall funtionality im hard reseting my GT 3 to 4 times a day thats not normal. So anyway im rooted so if anyone has a rom they suggest that is smooth or anything that will get me outta this nightmare id appreciate it. Please please help me not HATE my GalaxyTab 10.1 ps too late
