I too had to do it via another computer. However, even the op guide for KFU says to use Kindle Fire Drivers from another post to get the right drivers. Search around for them, they are here somewhere (that's the exact name of them). The server for KFU is back up now so you'll be able to get the proper twrp files needed. Download those first instead of letting the KFU do it for you. Then continue on. Also, the superuser the KFU installs will force close, so you're not getting proper root. Find an older version of that after you are all done. After I downloaded the su from my phone, im now getting prompts instead of force close to allow su permissions.

I just want to tell you that you just fixed the problem I have spent the past 7 hours trying to solve!!! :D
[General Questions and Answers] Nascor:
I'm currently thinking about buying a tablet, but I'm not certainly sure if should get one, and, if yes, which.

I'm planning to use it mainly for watching movies, surfing the net, playing some games and probably doing some office stuff on it (like e-mails, but also text documents etc.). Entertainment stuff is the main focus, the last one could be neglected...

The maximum I'd be willing to spend would be something around 400 Euros (by looking at the amazon.com store, it's like more or less exactly the same in dollars, without conversion... :eek: ) but less would be definitly better (off course, if a few bucks more make a huge difference, it would be also okay).

Concerning features, I would like:

The screen size should be 8" to 10", the bigger, the better

A USB port (which supports working as host) would be nice to have

The screen should be pretty responsive, and also with a rather high resolution

A front camera would be nice (doesn't have to have the best quality)

It should have a good CPU and GPU, so games and stuff run smooth

At least Android 3.1, an announced update to ICS would be much appreciated

some kind of SD card slot (or an other way to extend storage, an USB port counts ;) )

As the CES 2012 is about to happen, and probably some new tablets are going to be announced, I am also open to tablets that are going to be released in January or February this year, as long as they are in my price limit.

Oh, and by the way, regarding this, are there already tablets on the way, which are wort waiting for?

I'd be very glad if you made it till here and also would leave a comment below:D

Best regards and I apologize for my bad english ;)

Nascor

P.S.: Before I forget, one last question: Is it possible to put a 2,5" Hard Drive (powered over USB) to an Android tablet?

P.P.S.: Oh, and if it helps in any way, I own a HTC Desire.

[General Questions and Answers] azy141:

[General Questions and Answers] Nascor:
Just wifi is enough, if I really need 3G I can enable tethering...

The Acer one is certainly not bad, but I kind of don't like the design, but thanks.

I will have a closer look at the Xoom now...
[General Questions and Answers] azy141:
After a search I would get the xoom for that price aswell so that's what i'm recommending too
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
I suggest to go into a shop and hold both in your hands.

First i liked the xoom alot better, but the iconia just feels so much better when holding it. The sound quality of the iconia's speakers is really astonishing.

The iconia has a normal sized usb port, the xoom doesn't.
[General Questions and Answers] samuel109:
Sony S Tab!?
[General Questions and Answers] Nascor:
That's a real advantage over the others, I think I'll look at it in a store nearby in the next time...

The Xoom is said to be pretty unresponsive, and also, the SD slot seems to stop working occasionaly, is that true?

looks rather good, but are the 16 gigs enough for a bunch of games? The 32GB one is much too expensive, I think
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
there is Asus Transformer Prime, but it's 500 euros the 32 gig version.
[General Questions and Answers] samuel109:
I think 16gb is enough, plus you can just add an sd card if it isn't.
[General Questions and Answers] mirai0nikki:
Transformer Prime would be great for you.

10-inch display with 1280x800 resolution, Super-IPS

It has optional keyboard dock that has USB-port, so you can connect your hard drive, it'll recognize it as disk drive and you'll be able to view the hadr drive as a filesystem.

Front-facing camera is 1.2 MP.

Tegra 3 is the best for gaming and has a great GPU right now. CPU is great too.

Android 3.2 Honeycomb is coming with the tablet. There's an update to ICS coming (14-15 Jan)

SD-card slot + USB-port on the keyboard dock.

But costs 'a bit more' than you wish. About 585 Euros ^_^

So, I think that Acer Iconia Tab A500/501 is the best choice for you :)

Or you can watch at the original Transformer which costs about 350 Euros (16 GB)

Original vs Prime:

Screen (IPS vs S-IPS);

processor (Tegra 2 vs Tegra 3);

camera (5 MP vs 8 MP).

But you still have the USB-port on the dock, as well as the microSD card-slot.
[General Questions and Answers] Nascor:
haven't found it anywhere for 500, it's mostly sold for like 599

Sure, but as I read, you can't install apps and stuff on the SD card, it's threatened as an external hard drive (on the tablet s)

The Prime looks pretty good but also pretty (and probably too) expensive...the original Transformer looks also pretty decent, but as you need the dock for connecting an usb device, it's also like 499€, sadly

*quick edit* Feature wise the Xoom looks not bad, too. ~410€ for 32Gigs + 3G looks pretty good to me...gotta find some reviews
[General Questions and Answers] mirai0nikki:
Yeah, I've written about the price of the Prime.

Xoom is too laggy... Maybe you should wait for Xyboard?
[General Questions and Answers] Nascor:
Even with the new update?

The xyboard hasn't a tegra 3, is it worth it though?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatake212:
Hi Everyone, New user to XDA forums.

I want to change the Default home screen on my SG2 to screen number 4(I have 7 home screens)

My Current SG2:

2.3.4

PDA: I9100UHKI2

PHONE: I9100UHK1

CSC: I9100UUBKI2

The phone is Rooted.

I know the default.prop file is on the root folder and not in /system. However, when I use "root explorer" to edit the default.prop and I add the lines -

#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen

ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3

#sets TouchWiz Launcher screen count

ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=6

I save the the file and reboot the phone. But the problem is, the default.prop deletes the lines I added. At this point, I'm kind of lost here.

I know alot of people will say, use a different Launcher, but I prefer to use the touchwiz. I have no problems with it and it works for me. I have search all the threads regarding this topic, however I have yet to see a solution to this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Xperia Arc General] ozzygang:
I guess they are two different phones, often confused as being each other. If you look at the 'Nozomi' It has that kind of ring-like buttons at the base but the Xperia Arc HD this is not present on the back cover photo-shot.

I had my suspicions but all will be revealed at CES 2012 :)

Anyone looking forward to them.

Features Known: Dual core processors, 12 megapixel camera........list goes on etc.

Do we seriously need 12 megapixel cameras or is that just to make the product stand out in the market?

Can Sony make a comeback against the dominating HTC, Samsung etc. smartphones?
[Xperia Arc General] electrash:
Nozomi and arc HD are the same phone.

Nyphon and xperia DUO are other rummored phones..

Nozomi (arc HD) will have

1.5 SINGLE core CPU

1GB ram

16/32 GB internal memory

NO MICRO SD slot

MICROSim only

12mpx (or 13)

and 720p display (720*1024)
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
The single core CPU sucks imo, even if it's enough ^^

When all other brands use dualcore they should/have to do it, too.

Won't buy that phone, outdated on release...
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
If these are the specs most arc users will either stay with arc go for different phones. The only Thing that will make me get this phone is if it's build quality is half as good as iPhone4.
[Xperia Arc General] zangetsu2188:
I think it would be 1280x720. To maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio. :)

agree with you, only thing i love is 12 or 13mpx camera, and 720p display (HD)...

[Xperia Arc General] Zedd.:
The '12 line of Xperia looks promising.

But I sure do hope they have removable batteries and regular sized SIM slots.

Plus, lets hope that Sony does not mess up the handset division seeing as to how the they handled the PS3/PSN issue.

And I sure do hope that Sony sticks with the developer support they have going on with the '11 Xperia line. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I think the team working on the phones will largely remain the same.

I don't know about the regular SIM slots. In the end all phones should be usin Micro-SIM's. It's the logical evolution, no need to waste precious internal space on useless plastic. On the removable battery: they probably should try to keep it removable. But there are good things about a fixed battery too. They can usually have a much higher capacity!

damn.. such a hard choice. i'm thinking of going with the XPERIA S over the XPERIA Ion:

-no need for LTE as it's not yet supported in my city

-32GB > 16GB (16GB is too small for me)

-better design

-never liked the idea of a 'search' button on the front

-power button at the top instead of the right side (like the Samsung SII LTE)

-it's the international model so it would likely have better (xda) developer support

although i would really like the larger screen, battery, and (optional) dock from the Ion.
