First of all why would you even want to compare a stupid unusable pricey device like apple to and android ..
You clearly don't know the difference LOL.
the reason people get virus in an android phone is the same reason a person would get a virus on a laptop, its if your either stupid or someone is after you data to hack you .
so please the capabilities of an android user to that of an apple user is like comparing NEO from the matrix(for android) who can do whatever he wants with his coding ,etc.. to that of a regular person who just wants to game or watch videos and will pay any price a market will say for just plain quality of screen resolution but has no bloody worth .. your TOO DUMB TOO UNDERSTAND WHY ANDROID IS BETTER THAN APPLE IOS .

mahesh123, 08 Jun 2015I didn't know much about note,I had an ipad for 2 yes. My i... moreyup, you're an apple fan boy :D. kidding... Look, i get it that you didn't have a good experience with this device. A mature way to convey that would be to express your opinion and your opinion only... If your note is collecting dust, who cares!!! that doesn't the device "unpopular and unfavorable"(if you had bought like a million of these, then yah your word is more then an opinion in this case). Finally (you brought this one on yourself buddy), this device is better then any ipad out there. Now iam saying that not based on my opinion, but from the ratings here in gsmarena. Can you still say this device is "unpopular and unfavorable" :p

mahesh123, 11 Jun 2015I too had the same belief until I used iPad. seems like you... moreInteresting discussion you guys got going on here. Though I have to say note 10.1 2014 has it's advantages... Personally I think the pen is the major selling Pont of the note and you are right android os do lag with time, the capacity button also get in the way while using the pen, and charging / discharge could be a pain in the ass most time.
Despite all this I still like the note 10.1 tablet 2014 because
1, it is cheaper.. Bought mind 6 month ago for 150 dollars
2, the pen,... If you no how to position your hands you can avoid accidentally touch the capacity button
3, the display is gorgeous
4, the size and weight are just perfect
5, the battery last long

heeroo, 09 Jun 2015I simple minded & straight forward user...so complexity... moreI too had the same belief until I used iPad. seems like you have never used iPad and if once you start using iOS you will never go back to Android. Android is a crappy OS for tablets with all virus , junk apps, making the device slower and slower with time. Also windows OS is improving on tablets, android is getting worse and worse. At least that's my experience. Most of my friends in US have switched over to IOS from android since apple device are not as expensive here.

And I still stand with my words, note is a piece of junk com p a red to ipad & surface. If you don't believe me go ahead and waste your money.

AnonD-114015, 07 Jun 2015look buddy, i only commented because you called this device... moreI didn't know much about note,I had an ipad for 2 yes. My intent of getting note was better specification and ability to use pen. But It was a big disappointmentioned, since note has a stylus but the way it is implemented renders it useless. The scratch pad provided doesn't have any customizable size. Second the touch buttons provided near the home will always keep disturbing while writing text, I have to rotate the note . After some time I was so tired and frustrated I had to keep my note only as an extra device and my iPad is busy with my wife and kids. Believe me nobody touches my note ever. This clearly shows how unpopular and unfavorable note is. I have borrowed surface from my friend and the stylus interface seem to be much better and usable. I am not against note or any device but based on my experience want keep people warned so that they don't waste their money on this device.

Mahesh123, 05 Jun 2015and yes, I am using p605 you may be using different one to ... moreI can tell you my surface & ipad has been collecting dust, so I could say the reverse of what you originally said: "do your research and avoid surface or ipad". However, it would be stupid to tell someone that he/she should "buy something else because I don't like it".

mahesh123, 05 Jun 2015As a user, why should I bother which OS (IOS or android) I ... morelook buddy, i only commented because you called this device to be a piece of junk based on your ignorance. I mean, if you want simplicity and ease of use over complex functionality and better Personalization, why buy this device in the first place and not go straight for an ipad instead? Iam a techie and i hate most apple products from experience, but do i think or call them junk, offcourse not... Now your last comment on power management is a valid acceptable opinion. So all iam saying is that, try not to trash talk about a device, since what you or i say is not a fact, but just an opinion based on preference. P.S. Just incase you are an apple fanatic, name one ipad device that got a better voting then note 10.1 2014 for design, features and performance in gsmarena :D. unless you disagree with all the gsmarena users, in which case shhhh!! :D

I will always look for ease of use rather than getting into complexity of OS. When I say loosing charge without use I mean to say I just dont touch both the devices for said hrs. Now what should really go in the background is complete hibernation or clocks disabled or throttled down to save power no matter how many apps were opened, that's what I believe the power management to happen. I think the way power is managed between iPad and Note is different and does matter. I have also realized that charging current of Note is much higher compared to ipad. Seems like Note current consumption is much higher compared to iPad.

I had mine for almost 2 years now, and i'm still very contented with it. Very good battery, very good resolution, etc. I've tried other tablets/phones of other brands before so i know what i'm saying. I still wont exchange mine to other new released tablets..

mahesh, 31 May 2015Well I don't comment without experiencing anything. Here ar... moreagain, how ignorant can you be?. because, except the battery & charging issues, everything else is just a comparison between android and ios, personally i can give you 100 complaints on ios, but whats the point. Lets stick to your device specific issues, shall we.
Now, i did as you said and after 8 hrs, the battery was 93%( i play game of war, clash of clans, boom beach with multiple accounts, just for the record). Yours could be lower then that, but 70-80% suggests you have alot of background activity going on or something else is wrong. Ipad does have a better battery life but your claim about the note's battery life is either inaccurate or specific to your device only. I can say that with confidence based on your issues with charging.
My note charges from less then 10% to 100% in 2.5 to 3 hrs (while on and i can be sure because my usage demands charging every day). longer if i keep using it while charging. I use the same charger that came with the device. if your claim of 6-8hrs is true, iam really not sure why you haven't gotten it checked (2 years warranty if iam not wrong).
Frankly speaking (based on your claims), ipad would be a better choice for you, not because its better (again, i dont want to get into the android vs ios debate), but because it suits you better.
