[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tghockey07:
Here's what I'll tell you,

Tablets are a great internet viewing device and fun to pay games on, but they are more of a filler between a phone and a laptop. If you do not have a laptop or your own computer I would suggest the computer.

At this point in time, if I were you, I would get an HP TouchPad for $99 (if you can find one) and play around with it. If you like it then good, if you don't you can sell it on ebay for most likely more than you paid or keep it because it is only $99. Then you have the rest of your money to get a laptop or Galaxy Tab if you find the need for them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
The writer seems to be someone that hates tablets as a whole.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jake-CT:
I agree about the engadget article. Not a good idea to admit to have never owned a tablet to enable you to give a fair opinion. I have never owned a Ferari and can see it as a bit of a waste of money compared to a regular car... a toy... but I am pretty sure if I tried one for a month I would fall in love.

Most people I know have a simillar relationship to tablets. They get hooked on the ease of use versus pulling out a laptop and while they aren't good for writing a novel, there's a lot of stuff they are good at.

There is a funny tablet backlash coming from so-called creatives, especially "writers" (an article on engadget doesn't count imo). People who say "I dont want one because they are just for consuming - I am just too creative for that. I produce, man." Do you not own a TV? Radio? Games console??? A ton of great stuff is mainly for consumption of media. Get over it. And to be fair, while it is not always easy to produce stuff on a tablet it is not fair to say they are not able to create anything... In any case lets not go down the road of tablet owning = not creative, which is clearly BS.

Whoever said technology companies inspire religion like feelings was spot on. Can't we get a bit more tolerant in this debate: to justify any tech purchase you have to know what you are going to use it for. When will it work well, when will it not. No one item will do everything you want so just make sure you understand your priorities and buy according to them not according to looking cool (though that could be a priority, I guess). A forum like this is a great way to hear some opinions but really there is no right or wrong answer it is subjective.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hyperx136:
I definitely agree that you would need a laptop first. If you still want to get a tablet then try to get the HP Touchpad $99. Because i'm pretty sure that in your case you will regret spending $500 on a piece of equipment that you don't use nearly enough. You might play around with it alot at first but after a couple weeks, you would want to have a laptop.

So, I am desperatly waiting for a new version of iconiaroot which is capable to root the A501 on HC 3.2. I need it to run Drive Mount, without Drive Mount I am not able to hook an external hard drive formatted with NTFS.

Yes, yes, sure, I can reformat it to FAT32, but this drive holds app. 600 GB video files and I don't want to push them on my NAS with a transfer speed of 1.3 MB/second... moreover, this hard drive WAS formatted with FAT32 and this caused my A501 to crash, therefore I decided to convert it to NTFS and this worked VERY well with Drive Mount!

Devs, please try to find a way to root HC 3.2!!!! :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhesselmans:
hi guys,

I really need your help. My rom was freezing all the time, so I re-flashed it via recovery. Everything was smooth again, but I wanted to restore my data (as I didn't want to start over with my games). I had made a backup via recovery, so I selected the option 'restore data' in recovery and it got to work. When it was finished, i got an error saying something about a file being a read only file. So I wanted to go back to the main menu, but I couldn't. I had to take the battery out and try to reboot. I got the white screen with the green HTC, so I thought everything was okay. But it didn't boot any further than that. It just stayed there. So I took the battery out and rebooted into recovery again. This time I got a list of errors saying something like 'E:can't mount cache/....'. I googled the issue and found a fix for the problem, which would be to install the update via bootloader. I downgraded and rooted my phone using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261. The method uses an update which is 1.34, so I decided to try it. The update didn't work, and I'm stuck on the update screen. It says Fail-PU on the first 8 lines, [9]TP - OK, [10]TP- Bypasses, and than at [11]Radio_V2, it says '-Updating' and it just stays there. I've left it all night last night and it was still stuck there. I've tried taking out the battery, as I can't do anything and try the update again, but it didn't work.... Can someone please help me?

I'm afraid you might have a hardware issue. It could be one of two things, either the emmc has gone bad. Or the partition table has been messed up. The second thing is fixable the first is not.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androma:
Ok, I'm not good at keeping it short, so I wrote 2 versions so hopefully nobody has to read more than they necessary.

The short version:

Is there a way to find out what location the android market thinks I'm in for the purposes of letting me install apps, without rooting my device?

Also, is there a permanent way to change the location of my device so I can root, change, unroot?

The long version:

I have an Asus eee Transformer running And6roid 3.2 (Honeycomb) which I purchased here in New Zealand as a Taiwanese import.

I am getting non-English results on the android market and some market apps are not available in my location when I try to install them.

I've looked at the How is Android Market location determined thread and various threads about rooting your phone and installing Market Enabler. From what I understand, it takes your location from your sim, but my tablet is wifi-only so it has no NZ sim.

Problem: My tablet is only a few weeks old and it still has a lot of life left in its warranty. I don't want to root it in order to fix my location until I definitely know it's not properly set to New Zealand.

From what I understand rooting it will let me use Android enabler, but it will:

- Void my warranty unless i un-root it before sending it in for warranty services to Asus

- Prevent me from receiving further Asus updates

I want to double check that I am actually having the location issue before I decide to root my phone. Anyone know how I can do this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan.dobrescu:
no, without rooting I don't think you can
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androma:

In the Xperia X10 section they have found a way to get the Bravia Engine and xLoud in their handsets...:)

In fact the Bravia Engine and xLoud is no other than a software optimizer, there is NO hardware at all for them to work...;)

All SonyEricssons new Android phones is with the Bravia Engine, and all the devs over in Xperia X10 section have now also the bravia Engine in their own roms, even though X10 never did get the Bravia Engine officially...:-)
