Sorry for not having checked if Tegra 3 had already come out before posting... I assure you I have never smoked anything in my life! :D

iPad's graphic card is twice more powerful than Tegra 3, according to what Tim Cook reported yesterday in the keynote. If it's true or not, we'll see, but the announcement is startling anyway. I know there are tablets with quite a nice display, but the resolution of the iPad is unprecedented for a tablet... That's impressive! I love it when competition reaches this levels :)
[Android General] Rashkae:
Good time to get started! :D

Well, Apple is well known for massive massive massive fluff (or blatant lies) in their presentations. In all likelihood they took one specific game/graphic app and specifically optimized the heck out of it, then tested it against a Tegra 3 system which ran an un-optimized game.

Yeah, the resolution is nice, but I can assure you the competition is not waiting. ;)

The IPS panel on the TF701 is stunning. Perfect color rendition, viewing angles like mad, etc. Plus it's a wide display which is nicer for watching movies, and it's a lot lighter than the new iPad (which needs to lay off the Krispy Kremes)
[Android General] mcord11758:
The iPad as a device is great. It all comes down to do you like ios
[Android General] Rashkae:
Yup, I agree. Some people may say "android phone and iPad for best of both worlds".

Personally, I prefer android on both for easy synch, google cloud services, etc. It all depend on which ecosystem you prefer to be tied in to - some people may prefer iCloud, etc.
[Android General] alex2792:
Any android tablet priced over $200 does not stand a chance against the iPad. Furthermore after W8 launches android will be relegated to junky KIRFs from ZTE and Pantech where it truly belongs.
[Android General] UltimateGoblin:
I would not say that.

But it is true that now a new benchmark has been set. And I personally believe that this time, for the first time, the price that the iPad is selling at is justified by the impressing hardware. How many times have we said "I can find better at a cheaper price"? Now OEMs will have to struggle a little. Not only they will have to compete with iPad's hardware, but also with its price. Which, I repeat, now really seems something like... competitive.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Agee in part outside of the w8 thing which is a joke. Happy to see more options but I have yet to see a windows op system on a mobile device I could stomach
[Android General] djluis48:
Lol?

I like the new ipad, but i just cant stand iOS and it lack of customization.
[Android General] spunker88:
The screen resolution is pretty good and I imagine the Android tablets will be 1080p capable this year. Thats not copying Apple, screen resolutions are always getting better over time. Most tablets have pretty poor screen densities when compared with phones. The Asus Transformer resolution of 1920x1200 sounds like a good one since it will fit 1920x1080 video fine with extra room for the ICS buttons below.
[Android General] Foscot:
I am torn between getting the new iPad or waiting for W8 pads to arrive...

Any opinions?

I need it for school as well, so that's one point for W8 running normal Windows applications.
[Android General] Archector:
hype

I think there's a lot of hype with the W8 tablets, likely those will be a bit expensive if they come with a X86 cpu to take advantage of the existing windows aplications.

Yes, the ARM ones will be cheaper but it's like a developing for a new OS, Microsoft will have to start from scratch and the competition is already established.
[Android General] Foscot:
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Windows 8 might be a big tablet hit, it also might die out from the heavy competition... They might just be a bit too late.
[Android General] MikeyMike01:
Install Windows 8 on one of your computers and give it a go. For me, it was a giant disappointment.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Android General] Foscot:
For me too, but when Windows 8 reaches tablets, we'll surely start to see a mixture between tablet apps and Windows applications. It WILL be expensive though. I think I'll get the iPad :D
[Android General] telep:
I really think that the "new iPad" is great, but i dislike iOS, i think that iOS, android and "WindowsFail 8" on tablets need to be more productivity oriented. Today tablets are gimmick, big phones, with little extra usability over them, but if they want the tablets to replace PC they need somethiing more beside social apps and games.
[Android General] alex2792:
Problem is when you start adding stuff like keyboards,mice and desktop OS-like features you may as well get an ultra portable laptop that does those things much better than a tablet.
[Android General] Foscot:
I agree, but apps like OneNote and Google Docs on Android and iOS are slowly adding to the productivity-abilities of tablets and phones.

Tablets are mostly gimmics, but they sure are very cool ones?
[Android General] mcord11758:
I will let you all know, my company is giving us all iPads next month for work.
[Android General] I Am Marino:
If I buy an iPad, it's going to be a refurbished iPad 2.
[Android General] Gamefreak2:
Lol there ar better tablet on the marker then the IPAD 3 lolz :) Sony FTW.
[Android General] Foscot:
There are some pretty nice tablets, but Sony just don't make them.

I already have an Android device, therefore getting another Android device would be weird. The new iPad is not a bad tablet, it all comes down to preference.

By the way, if you need an Android tablet, choose ASUS.

If you look at the benchmarks, the iPad 2 was top notch, whereas the Transformer gets somewhat close.
[Android General] alex2792:
I'm sorry,but even Sony's CEO knows that their tablet is complete crap compared to OG iPad let alone iPad 3.
[Android General] sere83:
Samsung are reumoured to have an 11.6 inch tablet with a similar resolution display in the pipeline.

I'm an android user but can't really fault the iPad 3 in terms of hardware, the screen beats everything on the market and will for a while IMO. Shame no android manufacturer can really get their act together to put something nice out that can really rival. The prime is nice but not as nice hardware wise as the iPad and the GPS issues were embarrassing.

Regardless of apples smack talk and asus grand '5 core' claims personally I think the A5X will smoke Tegra 3. As a graphics company surprisingly Nvidia make some of the worst GPU's around IMO and I think all the upcoming A15 and quad core Xynos and Qulacomm chips will kill it too.

Despite its '5 cores' Tegra 3 outclassed the A5 but not by much, and lets not forget how the A5 completely decimated Tegra 2. I'm not a huge Tegra fan to be honest, If I get an android tab this year I will be waiting to see what other chip manufacturers bring out first.

Just disappointed that it's unlikely we will ever see the fluidity of iOS or WP7 on android, if only google had not F**ked up the UI rendering initially.
[Android General] PaoloRoncadillo:
Apple is mainstream, user friendly and if you need something more from your device, you can get it.

There always will be devices better, but is it worth the trade?
[Android General] player911:
I can't stand iOS but the hardware has always been a clear winner IMO. I could never use the phone but I've owned and liked the iPads. I ended up trading for the Transformer and my productivity spiked. iOS feels like a toy, fun to play with but useless once the novelty wears off.

The Tegra 3 is a beast. Quad core CPU and the GPU has like 6 or 8.

I'm torn on the screen. I have 1920x1200 res on my 26" PC monitor... really kinda overkill for a <10" screen. A large resolution means everything at lower resolutions will be complete crap. No longer can you watch sub-720p YouTube without it looking like ass. Apps and Games don't properly scale in iOS which will require duplicate app purchases.

It will be a nice device but check out the Tegra 3 only games being made.

IMO the current Transformer Prime is the way to go.
[Android General] apollooff320:
Hardware means nothing to me. What's the point in having a high spec Android phone or Tablet when the apps suck compared to ios apps? I was just looking at ios tablet apps on youtube and my same ANDROID apps suck in comparison. How can a first gen ipad run the Netflix app so smooth and asus transformer lags, why is the weather channel and USA Today app on ipad ten times better looking then ours? I can keep going on but i see no point. Customization of home screen isn't entertaining nor is it fun all it is an option. If I had the the money to get the new ipad I would get one in a heartbeat. Android is still laggy at times even after ICS and still is buggy. Then we have Sony and Nivida fragmenting Android even more. I think its time for me to just move on from the OS and probably pick up an ipad 2 next week then next year move back to Windows.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Netflix is laggy on the Asus transformer because the app is not well optimized for honeycomb.

Why bother paying for netflix use 1 channel and megastream
[Android General] ninjarobot:
The great thing about the iPads is that they set new and aggressive standards for the rest of the industry to follow. Hopefully in less then 12 months we should be able to pick up an android tablet with 2048*1536 resolution for < 250$ - go apple! :)
[Android General] UltimateGoblin:
I will wait and see what the new W8 tablets will have to offer.

I was planning to get a new laptop by the end of the year, but then I saw that W8 runs on tablets in the same way it does on laptops. The distinction tablet/pc exists no more in the new OS Microsoft: I'm sorry but I'll have to discard my plans of buying an Android tablet. If W8 does his job well enough, I'll just have one tablet which will be able to turn into a laptop if connected to a wireless keyboard and mouse. I was really waiting for the day this'd have been possible!

This is exactly what I wanted to say in the post #1! Apple is really good in setting high standards which everyone else has to follow... and the winner in the end of it all is the consumer :D
[Android General] apollooff320:
Maybe because I do things legally and Netflix works on my blu-ray player and xbox 360 and none of those do.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Ive read that older versions of the Netflix app don't have this problem
[Android General] Ju5Tic3Droid:
Myan why must johny appleseeds buy into apples lies..

The tegra 3 is far more powerful OVERALL iPad only scored better in the browser and I think we all know about the lack of flash support on ancient ass IOS

The ONLY strong point about the new iPad is the resolution and that is only better for apps that have updated too support the new high resolution or less eye strain for readers that's it... Other than that it's meager to good hardware on a less than demanding OS

U can have it... I'm going Asus Prime HANDS DOWN

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ebucel:
I just charged up my nook recently and then checked it out. It self updated to 1.4.2. I think I last ran a manual nooter on 1.2. In the upgrade they broke my zeam launcher and I can't seem to get back to my apps that were installed. i.e. to do a backup.

Is there anyway I can run a backup now that it's has 1.4.2 on it? :mad:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Just re-root and you should be all set. GMPOWER's made rooting 1.4.2 trivial.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimdon44:
Problem Updating to 1.4.2

I cannot manually update to 1.4.2. I have previously updated to 1.3.0 and to 1.4.1.

After I send the nookcolor_1_4_2_update.zip to my NC from my XP computer, the update starts to load. A box with an arrow appears with an android 'andy' and a green progress strip.

Then it stops and a white triangle with a yellow exclamation symbol appears next to 'andy',. Nothing else happens.

If I press the power button, clockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 appears with a menu of options.

I have never rooted or attempted an internal cm7 mod, but I occasionally use a cm7 sdcard.

I called B&N support and they say the triangle and 'Andy shouldn't happen.

It appears to me that clockworkmod revovery has somehow been installed on my NC internal operating system.

I would like to be able to receive additional NC updates.

My questions are:

1. Can I safely remove the clockworkmod recovery and then update my NC?

2. Is there a benefit to keeping the clockworkmod recovery that will outweigh the loss of future NC updates?

Thanks for your inputs.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
1. Yes, you can safely remove CWM and then update.

2. I personally install CWM as Alt Boot, install CyanoBoot to get the Power & Vol +/- access as well as boot menut to use recovery to factory reset via eMMC Recovery mode if wanted.

I have put together a CWM installable zip of stock 1.4.1 as well as some others.. and instructions on how to do it and files to put into stock ROM.... See this thread for instructions on doing it yourself.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourist2:
I am a bit luckier but still could not get the 1.4.2 installed. Mine is running 1.2. I also use uSD for CM7/CM9 booting. When I tried to update the Nook Color to 1.4.2 by putting the zip file into Nook through USB connection. Nothing would happen and the zip file will be gone. I also have problem in installing apps in Nook native boot. I really think something has been changed in NC even I use solely uSD method for CM7/CM9 booting.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMPOWER:
Since you have CWM installed on the device, you have a couple options:

You can download this file, LINK, boot into CWM, and flash the file to remove CWM from your device. You can then update the device using the stock method.

OR you can download this file,LINK,boot into CWM, and flash the file to update the device to version 1.4.2. This method will keep CWM installed on the device. If you no longer want CWM installed on the device after updateing, download this file, LINK, and flash it to remove CWM.

Keeping CWM installed on the device, will keep it from updating, and make it easier to flash/backup your system

If you have CWM installed on the device, placing the update file in the root directory of the device will not update it. You will need to select on the these options to update the device:

You can download this file, LINK,boot into CWM, and flash the file to remove CWM from your device. You can then update the device using the stock method.

OR you can download this file,LINK,boot into CWM, and flash the file to update the device to version 1.4.2. This method will keep CWM installed on the device. If you no longer want CWM installed on the device after updateing, download this file, LINK, and flash to remove CWM.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Not offending by any mean but do you make sure you understand the whole thing?

First question, why you even mentioned about "uSD for CM7/CM9"? You are running CM or stock ROM?

Next, after xfering the 1.4.2, did you boot from uSD and running CM?

Next, there is NO REASON the zip file will be gone unless it detected and deleted by firmware, in which I am strongly believe you booted into verygreens uSD.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourist2:
I have been using CM7/CM9 dual boot from uSD after I registered in Nook Color stock ROM. When I tried to update to 1.4.2, I removed the uSD before I put the zip file through USB connection according to BN's instruction. It went to sleep but nothing happened except that the zip file was gone. I tried that twice with the same result. I also have problem in installing apps in NC boot (with or without uSD inserted).

I am running mostly CM7 (and sometimes with CM9) using the dual boot uSD image from Racks. I did not know this way would install CWM or change anything in eMMC.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

Thanks for your help. I have been using the uSD dual boot image from Racks and I updated it a few times. I did not know if that would install the CWM or not. It is good to know that it can be recovered easily. Thanks again.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimdon44:
I still have a Problem

Thanks, but I cannot get to clockworkmod recovery. I tried: Power + Vol+, Power + V-, Power + Vol+ +U and Power + Vol- + U but none bring up the clockw

orkmd recovery. So I can't flash your zips from cwm. I can't find any other options to get to cwm. Thanks again.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fpga_guy:
One brute force approach is to restore to stock and then apply MN. If you want to do that you can create a bootable sd card using http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...od-recovery-twrp-version-3-2-0-1-sd-card.html

Then you can flash stock BN1.4.1 from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22809801&postcount=148

At this point, you can update to BN1.4.2 and then apply MN. I know many prefer to have CWM on emmc - but I am a firm believer in minimizing problems by keepin CWM on a bootable SD. Backup the device that you are running on has too many potential pitfalls.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourist2:
I thought it was Power + U.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMPOWER:
You can get to by holding n, vol +, and power for 8 seconds after you see the screen flicker, or just n and power for 8 seconds.

If you can't get to it, that is fine. I would double check the system version information to make sure that you are on 1.2. Then I would would re-download the update file from B&N, LINK. The system will only delete the file if are already running that version, the file is corrupt, or you interrupt it in the process.

If you continue to have problems, you might want to think about doing a system restore, LINK

If you have a fully working 1.2 installation, you can also open Rom Manger, and install CWM. You can then install the 1.4.2 file that I link to you, and if you wish to remove when you are done, you can just flash that last file that I linked.

At least one should get you to where you need to be
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ebucel:
Wipe

Do you have to do a wipe to run the new manual nooter and by wipe what exactly does that mean?

also which app should I use to run the backup?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadednightwing:
Ok, I kinda get your meaning, but could you possibly go step-by-step so I don't mess anything up? I really would prefer going with option #2 (why not use CWM while it's still on there?)

my most pressing question is -- how do I boot into CWM without using an SD-card? I have tried holding down "Power + n" and 'Power + Vol+", but neither work.

Thanks for any help you can give!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahfo:

anyone have some ideas they wanna pass along to me on what i should do?

how would i go by rooting it?

are there any rom's yet that have hardware buttons and HC

i will be using it as a wifi only tablet...

your help is greatly appreciated

thanks.:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NinjaMom:
Congrats! Your going to love this tablet.

As far as your questions... You are best off just reading the forums here. It's all here... You just got to find the threads that fit your needs best.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Welcome to the View man! First, if you're new to rooting, you should use kevinrocksman's multitool which is found is found here that will allow you to root and s-off so you can flash roms.

That same tool has the roms that are available for the view and it does the work for you. CypherROM(my rom) is a sense based Honeycomb rom that has all your tweaks, is themed, and debloated. It's also the most current HC rom.

Grafixnycs rom is desensed if your looking at going that route.

Gumby63 also has a desensed rom out.

Hi people, I have a i777 but the phone does not turn on at all, what happens is that it will turn the screen on when you plug it in, show the battery image for less then a second and do that 2-3 times before it just stays blank. computer doesnt recognize it or do anything when pluged to it.

Left it plugged in to charge and the phone got very hot. I have not attempted anything with the phone its not even rooted, just stopped working.

Please if any one has any tips or anything that can assist I would really appreciate it.

So i figured out somethings about the phone, It does go into bootloader mode only if i take out the battery and plug it in, with battery it does nothing at all.

Theres so much info about roms and all this other things i cant quite figure exactly what i need to do with the phone. I'm trying to find a stock rom, but like i said i don't know if its the room, bootloader, kernal or what the hell it needs to fix it.

Please anytips or questions or leads that can guide me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It would be helpful if you could give some details of the problem that you have. We can't just assume that you have the exact same issue that the original poster described in the first post. Please describe your problem in detail. The phone will/won't turn on. The screen is/isn't completely dead. etc.

A little background would also be helpful. How long have you had the phone? Was it working before? Where did you get it? etc.

Need enough information to begin trouble shooting the problem. Will be happy to help if I can.

I had exactly the same problem with my SII. I bought an external charger for the battery, recharged the battery using that and worked fine afterwards (the charger I bought came with a couple of spares which was a bonus as well ;-).
