[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
I have a tf101. Asus makes some beastly tabs but they have bugs and stuff. Like the stock ics firmware causes SoDs but there's an awesome italian kernel dev named guevor that pretty much fixed it and its basically his job working on the kernel.

I've heard the Acer tabs are alright, I saw an A200 for 200 somewhere. There's also a new Acer tab with a 1080p screen coming out soon for 450 and there's also the Asus tf700 coming out that's an ipad 3 killer in the benchmarks.

But if you want to be cheap like me, get a tegra 2 tab. The application of the tegra 3 processing power isn't a huge thing at the moment.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
It really depends on your price range. I am gonna make a last pitch for the ipad, it is iOS but you can jailbreak it an stuff. It has WAY better apps and more that are optimized for the screen. I was at the best buy mobile and i could barely figure out how to use the android tablet. You have an issue if the kernel dev can't navigate through the OS to find the settings button. Anyway, if you are dead set on android, google is expected to release a $200 dollar nexus tablet built by asus w/ tegra 3. That will probably be your best bet.
[myTouch 4G General] Launchpad McQuack:
Thanks y'all.

Yeah, been reading up on tabs all day and found some info on the nexus. I wish some details would be released on what kind of functionality it will have, but the price is definitely right along with processing power. I can live without a camera, but GPS might be nice to have in a 7" tablet. Hopefully the info goes viral after I/O next weekend....and ordering one doesn't require a lottery.

Anyone have any experience with the Dell Streak? I've found very mixed reviews out there. Super poor reviews on the Lenovo and Vizio. Seems Samsung, Acer, and Asus have best reviews and fair pricing on 7" tabs...I'm trying to stay under $250, goal being under $200.

I really just can't support anything i, even though I know the products are nice and jailbreakable. I bleed Android for better or worse. Started with a G1, had original chrome beta, and except for Wave and Drive failing, I have never been disappointed by anything g. I've talked and fought so much against iSheep and the iMachine I might get crucified if I showed up with an iPad ;-)

[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Don't get the ipad. My dad has an ipad 2, doesn't do **** with it... I jail broke it, still doesn't do **** with it.

I mess with it myself and I get so bored with it. Yea its all nice and smooth and user friendly but it doesn't have the functionality of android.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
i got a Dell Streak 7, if you want my honest opinion, it's bad. the battery life sucks on this thing, and it took me a whole day just to upgrade to honeycomb. and they literally have NO development support AT ALL :( and worst of all, the thing comes with a Tegra 2 processor but only 512 MB of RAM. WTF :confused:

IMO, Dell tablets aren't worth it.

my dad has an Acer A500 (10 inch) and a friend of mine has the Acer A100 (7 inch). Acer is okay i guess, much better than Dell, but occasional lag on both devices. not sure if it's because of the way my dad and friend uses them, but battery life on the A100 is bad as well. A500 is okay, about 2 days moderate usage.

i think you should either wait for the Nexus or go for ASUS. i hear great things about those tablets, and they seem very great as well. and they've got HUGE development going on over there. :)

[myTouch 4G General] ExtremeNerd:
For the best value for your money, I'd suggest the Skypad A2. For just over $100, you get 7" ICS ready tablet, pre-rooted, with HDMI out. How many sub- $200 tablets can boast that? There are a couple of great reviews on Amazon and a handful of custom ROMs.

If you're looking for value, I'd recommend it. I've had no issues and loved it so far. If you're willing to spend the extra couple hundred, you can do much better.

[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
The cheaper tabs only have 512mb RAM, am I correct? My mom's nook tab has 1gb of RAM and a dual core processor, so I refuse to have anything less powerful than my mom's nook tablet.
[myTouch 4G General] Launchpad McQuack:
Yes, the screen resolution and ram seem to be the biggest limiting factor for price. the Asus nexus looks to change this however with serious processing/ram power and a decent screen for ~$200....so the hype talk says. We'll see what happens after I/O this weekend. Bit I agree, for me 1Gb ram will likely be mandatory for good presentations.

Tapatalking from my Beaten Dark Unicorn Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] ExtremeNerd:
Yes, low RAM, but if you're looking for value, how important is that? The 1.2 GHz processor does great with it, and I've regularly used PSX4Droid with no issues. I can't think of anything more processor intensive than that.

It's all about what you need/want. Personally, I'd much rather have the HDMI out and ICS over a nook.
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Is that 1.2 single core? What about screen res?

I believe everything should still run smooth on devices with specs similar to those as this phone can too.

I bought fpse, and it actually runs smoother on this tablet if i enable it to use only one core. Lol
[myTouch 4G General] ExtremeNerd:
Yes, it's a single core. The res is average at best, since it's a 7" WVGA (800x480). It's pretty necessary to use the HDMI out, which gives full 1080p res.

There is no way it can compare to more expensive tablets, but it's something I could throw away tomorrow and not feel bad about losing.
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
That's pretty sweet. That's something you could give to a child for a toy or whatever, though some parents these days (some I know personally) buy their children iDevices...even the ipad -_-
[myTouch 4G General] ExtremeNerd:
Exactly. it's something I could literally throw to my 4 year old nephew and not think twice about. A tablet was something I couldn't justify since I have a work laptop and personal one, but the price was too difficult to pass up.

Sadly, I always get the question, oohh, is that an iPad?
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Not to rain on the parade but skypad? Never heard of the brand, stick with the big guns bro
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
For $199 the Nook Tablet isn't bad. It's pretty quick and there has been a lot of development for it. It's lacking things like gps and any camera, but it was designed to be an ereader. One thing it does have is a micro SD slot. There is a lot to be said for that.

Also, rooting it is insanely easy. No adb or terminal emulator usage necessary. Simply download an image, verify md5, burn image to sd, power off, insert sd, power on, wait 2 min, power off, remove sd, reboot. Done.

It's no superoneclick, and more is needed for recovery, but you have to admit. That's easy.

Thought I had to share this: EA is throwing a sale for some of its Android apps because of Father's day (source).

Here are the games in question and their respective discounts:

FIFA 12 - 40% off

Plants vs Zombies - 33% off

Dead Space - 30% off

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - 20% off

Be warned though: as of the last update, the XP controls are not working in Dead Space.

Finally, I was thinking of grabbing PvZ. Is it worth it at this price? Or can it possibly get a better discount for Christmas or something?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] endingcolt007:
Hi, i have a galaxy note GT-N7000 which was running the stock GB out of the box. After updating to ICS using Kies, i rooted the phone and installed SU and it worked fine. I then tried to flash Kingdroid ROM v3 onto my phone after which the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" boot screen. It does not even go into the boot animation. I cannot access the recovery however the download mode is still accessible. I even tried flashing a stock ROM using ODIN (GB & ICS ROMS) but the setup keeps hanging at the image....

I believe that it is the eMMC bug which i did not know of before flashing.

I need help because i have no clue how to fix it and it would really be a pity as i cannot afford a new phone already. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
OK slow down ,when you flashed it ,did it complete flashing kingdroid from CWM then you manualy rebooted? only to be stuck on samsung logo

or did it hang during CWM flash and rebooted on it's own?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adv1sory:
You skipped the part about being on a safe kernel before flashing Kingdroid. Did you do that or did you use the stock ics kernel to flash kingdroid? You should always read!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] endingcolt007:
when i flashed the kingdroid ROM v3 using CWM touch, everything was fine. The installation completed and then i did a factory reset/wipe and cleared cashe & battery stats & dalvik cashe. After that i rebooted the phone and it never went past the "Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen. I have tried flashing stock ICS & GB ROMs but they all keep hanging up at image.fs. So is my Note indeed hardbricked?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prasad.adam:
As a last resort try flashing stock gingerbread with bootloaders using ODIN. If that fails you can try partitioning method as suggested by hg42 or take your device to Samsung service center and tell them it bricked while doing factory reset from settings. Motherboard replacement time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] endingcolt007:
Ive already tried flashing stock GB with bootloader but it hangs up at "factoryfs.img"! I guess i will have to take it back to Samsung Service Center. But will they charge me for it because the custom binary download shows "1 count"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smarda7a:
try this method but with GB files....

or try flashing a GB kernel then stock ROM with bootloader

good luck..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prasad.adam:
No, they won't know binary count. So go ahead.

Before that try reinstalling any GB Rom incase you are not emmc bricked.

Download AbyssKernel 3.9 and then do a cwm install of a GB kernel ....

Incase you got ur download mode ready, flash the Abyss kernel or let me know I will guide you thro ADB ..

i tried flashing stock GB ROM with bootloader but now my phone completely refuses to turn on. I think it is bricked for good! i have reported this problem to samsung without mentioning that i installed a custom rom. I told them that the error occurred when i upgraded from GB to ICS. However they are going to charge me a good $50-100 to get it fixed for software issue but even more if hardware problem! I really am in no position to pay so much as i purchased the Note only days back. Will this be covered under warranty and will they know tht i had flashed a custom rom?

No it doesn't - it works for a select few people. If your damage is in another area, it won't work. If the damage spreads (it has for some people), it won't work. Many people who did that found their device to be highly unstable afterwards.

Hey guys, is there a way to get the drop down menu while using the web browser ? Sometimes I can access the drop down while browsing but not all the time. Also , any way to get tabs like chrome to appear on the internet browser ? Please let me know

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Its a new thing for the HTC browser they implemented.

You're supposed to see the menu bars you desire when you pull the page down. (or is it up? Its one way, not the other)

You can kind of get around this by going into settings > then lab > and try out the edge of the screen menu thingie.

I know thats all vague, but its there. Go check it out. It enables you to touch and hold the very edge of the browser window and it brings up a splash of options that are the ones you're seeking.

Edit: it's not just touching and hold the edge that brings it up. It's the very edge. Actually diabolical. I prefer HTC browser over chrome on android.

So, I'm digging the stock Sense settings widgets for quick on/offs from my home screen. Wifi, hotspot, etc are all incredibly convenient. I'd like to use the screen brightness one also. It basically toggles the backlight in one-third increments, and its indicator "lamp" has three segments to tell you where it stands.

BUT... I like to keep the brightness set to automatic, from the settings-display menu. And if I ever want to override this (movies, etc.) with the widget, there's no way to set it back without going into the full-blown settings menu.

Would be niiiiiice if HTC updated the widget to support automatic brightness. Heck, they could even make it work so that just the middle indicator segment would light up to let you know you're in automatic state.

Hope they're listening. Meanwhile, does anyone know of a decent, ad-free alternative? Or can the stock one be modded?
