the [Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7] thread

[Reborns]

Hi guys, selling off my tab 7.7 cos going to try out Note 2! Comes with ICS Singapore version, extra charge/sync cable, original slim book cover and Premium Versus back case (soft leather). No micro SD card. Asking for only $550, has a very tiny scratch at the bottom. Besides that, it's in great condition. PM me or contact me at nine75367nine7.

Thanks!

a brand new set is only 545
most ppl me included wont want your used case, probably different taste or used exterior.. so u can't factor cases in...

i doubt anybody can sell more than 400 dollar for second hand used 7.7

Hi, thanks for your comment. My case is very new, just bought for a month cos the old case is worn out. So I believe there will be people who will use the cases I have. Anyway, I realised that prices have dropped and so I'll lower to $500 cos I would like to factor in the extra sync/charge cable and cases.

Got any fixed sequence of sites that will make it crash?

I use Chrome infrequently, but so far never see it crash before on my setup.

No fixed sequence. I can be browsing hardwarezone forums in full browser mode (not mobile) and after like 10-15 minutes it will crash. If unlucky, the entire tablet will crash. It's in 3G mode, not wifi if that matters.

Rumours of a Nexus 7 with 3G + GSM makes me wanna abandon my 1 week old 7.7 pulling double duty as a biga$$ phone

Strange.....I do that as well on mobile quite often, but never browser/device crash. But then again I've not been on stock rom for a long time.

Nvm lah, 3G Nexus 7 come out liao can say bye bye to 7.7 liao......

I like most aspect of the Tab 7.7, however after upgrading to ICS, the battery got drained very fast. even without using it, by placing it in the bag, the battery level will drop 20 to 30% by itself.

Making it not feasible to double up as a calling phone. Wonder what is the cause of it and is there anything I can do?

Thank you in advance for the experts' advice.

Dunno where you got that idea from, but most probably the Nexus 7 3G (if it exists) version won't be telephony enabled.

One very obvious trend is to see how telephony features are removed from mobile data enabled tablets in US. Even if the hardware supports it, Google won't support it specially just for overseas market - it's their style.

So don't bet too much on that, you might be disappointed.

one of your app is not compatible with ICS or not code properly causing wake locks.

Back up your data and restore your apps one by one and monitor..
If not just do custom roms/kernels lo

I have no issues with the battery draining. Still last 2-3 days with a single charge with moderate usage. Check your runnning services and see if there are any extra apps running in the background.

 

[wolvie77]

i wonder if the ipad mini's smart cover can be used on this tab?

Wow 2 to 3 days?! Mine last only at most 1 and a half days with moderate usage, and less than 1 day with heavy usage

Will iPad mini kill Tab 7.7 with similar price? 598 vs 618.

Sorry to inform you, 7.7 already dead before Mini was even announced.

 

[siandiao]

and suddenly, the iPad mini makes my Tab 7.7 seems so new and advanced

 

[xonix]

Sorry to inform you, 7.7 already dead before Mini was even announced.

Hmmm...why dead? Because of Nexus 7 ?

It's still got one of better displays (Super Amoled & 1280*800) for a 7 inch tablet and officially it at least got an ICS update.

I have this problem cos wifi can't go to sleep. If I off my wifi leaving it with 3G connection, overnight drop is less than 1%. I still can't resolve this problem

I feel its your battery problem or something.. Just 3G connection and drops to 1%?? Look properly whether u have heavy apps running? Or other things.. If everythign seems alright.. Could it be battery?? giving ur problems?? Weird to see someone with this problem....This came about after ICS?
