[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberlion17:
So... I need everyone's opinion on this. As this has been going on in my mind for weeks :P I'm considering of buying a budget tablet since it is becoming a necessity for us medicine students for reading our ebooks and medicine apps. :D Months ago I was considering buying iPad 2 since it can now be bought under my budget :D Then came the google nexus 7; I was so amazed by its price for its specs. So here are my pros and cons. I'll be gauging largely on the gadget's academic use for school :)

Ipad 2

Pros

+++++9.7" screen (large screen estate for ebooks)

+huge array of apps

+brand name (durability guaranteed)

Cons

--Apple iOS (needs to be jailbroken to be of good use, as I'm a med student, I have no time to jailbreak it myself :P)

--low res

-Can't send files over bluetooth to other non-apple devices

-a bit pricey compared to nexus 7

-heavy

Google Nexus 7

Pros

+++considering its specs, it has an AMAZING price tag

++high res

++light

+Android OS

+can easily communicate with other devices, I have my trusty SGS2 so I can transfer my files seamlessly between devices

Cons

----Screen size is a mere 7" only

--Apple iOS has many medical apps compared to Android (ex. Netter's Atlas of Human's Anatomy and Visible Body)

-ASUS brand is not that known here as a tablet manufacturer here in the Philippines (I don't even know where their service center here is. lol :laugh:)

The most major factors here are the screen sizes and the resolutions of the devices. Is a 7" tablet enough for heavy ebook reading? :) Thanks guys for the help! :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
IN many peoples opinions 7" is actually BETTER for reading than the 9" the device is much lighter and easier to hold in one hand making for a easier experience. Theres a reason all the ebook readers are around 7" it's just the best size for reading.

Nothing really you can do about the lost apps, though there is the Google Body app, though i doubt it'll be enough for you being a med student. and there may be some other alternatives.

as far as ebooks go, the ipad may have the larger screen size, but the 7" form factor is generally considered much easier to use for reading.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:
Jailbreaking literally takes about a 2 minutes to do. Doubleclick, and the rest is done automatically.

I have been happy with ebooks on a 7". PDF's of magazines can be a bit more difficult to read.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kiko1970:
Hello all,

I am owner of GT - P7500 / 3.2, P7500XXKL4 stock rom / and till today I did not have any problems with my tablet. Today when I tried to charge it, I got a massage - USB MTP connected and sign below as it is when it is connected to PC. At this situation battery does not charge. If a switch of tabled it charging. I tried many things, but nothing helps me. Please advice me what to do! Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
well it seems to me as a rom problem cause if you turn it off it charges, kind of the tablet recognizing the charger as a usb connection, the only thing i can think off to help you out will be to wipe everything and see what happens.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kiko1970:
Thank you! Do you think root will solve a problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
I don't think so. But i'm pretty sure a full wipe will do the trick if that doesn't work you will need to reflash your system.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kiko1970:
How to make a full wipe?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
Well first make a back up cause it will erase all meaning apps, apps data and configurations, the info that you have on the internal storage will be fine; now turn off your tab and then turn it on while holding the volume down key (the one that is next to the power button) once it turns on release the power but keep holding the volume key until you are shown 2 options one of them showing "downloading..." select the one with no letters (kind of a box with an arrow and the android logo) using the volume down key again and then the volume up key. Once you are on the android recovery select (this menu is controlled only using the fisical keys, volume -/+ for moving arround and power for selecting) the wipe data/factory reset option and once it's done the wipe cache one then reboot.

This is known as a full wipe :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kiko1970:
Thank you again. Did all as you explained to me, full wipe done, but problem still happens and I cant charge my tablet...may be go to store which sold it to me?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
mmmm let me understand this; while it's on and you connect it to the charger it tells you that it's connected as mtp right? but if you turn it of and connect it, it charges fine?? am i right??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kiko1970:
Yes, that is right, but today I wait 4 hrs when it was switched off and charging and after 4 hrs it was only 20-25% charged.....now the same switched on and when connected to charger - MTP....as it is connected to USB port on my PC
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
Well mate the only other thing that is in my mind will be to reinstall the rom from kies. Or maybe root and try a diferent rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kiko1970:
Tried already this, but now the new problem appear - can not connect to PC via Kies
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
Found this i don't know if it will help but if you don't want to root then the best option is to take it to the place you bought it as you say before.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drug-tito:
Hi

I have defy+ (MB526) Red lens.

I upgraded from stock ROM Android 2.3.6 to CM9 (4.0.4) Jordan nightly 13.6.2012.

New android works great but it has one HUGE annoying bug - battery wont charge more than 4.15V and it used to be 4.35V.

I was reading and I know it bugs exists for many people and there is no solution :( I tried 2 different battery patches and it didnt work.

So now I want to go back to CWM backup that I did on official ROM (nand backup). But I heard it could be a problem because now i got newer kernel?!

Those are the details I have now:

CM9 Nightly jordan 13.6.2012 Android 4.0.4:

Baseband version:

EPU93_U_00.59.01

Kernel version:

2.6.32.9-gbdd614e

hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid51 #1

----------------------------

And this was my stock Android before upgrade to CM9:

Stock Android 2.3.6:

Baseband version:

EPU93_U_00.60.03

Kernel version:

2.6.32.9-ge281b6e

hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid51 #1

Build:

4.5.1-134_DFP-231

----------------------------

So my question is can I use nand recovery to go back to my stock android backup that i have. (full system backup)?

Thanx
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keghan:
Download the SBF file and flash it with RSD lite
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drug-tito:
Are you sure I cant restore NAND backup? As far as I can see, both versions use same GB kernel 2.6.32.9-xxxxx

Thanx
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcospulido:
if you did a NAND backup befor flash, restore it!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] papertreeprophet:
I was hoping to finally get to use it, as my work has vending machines with credit card/nfc readers on them. I downloaded it but it says can't be used on my device/network. I tried searching but didn't find anything for the S3.

Is it an issue with AT&T, or the phone? Is there a work around?

Thanks in advance ;)

I think it is only for sprint atm :/ kinda lame.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] laprodigy001:
hello,

i am thinking about rooting my galaxy s3 T999.i was wondering what are some of the things you can do with a rooted phone?is it safe?i have the insurance on my phone.will this void my insurance in anyway if i needed to use it?if i download one of the custom roms with less bloatware will i be able to do everything i could with stock ROM.(games, internet etc).is there anything i cant do with a custom rom that i could do with stock?

sorry for being such a noob..

great site.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] laprodigy001:
if i root and jelly been comes out for the galaxy s3 will i be able to upgrade without affecting my root or anything.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jabberwockyyy:
Yes it is very safe. Simple too! It can be done under a minute. I rooted my phone using CF-root. Rooting voids your warranty though, but you can reset the flash counter with Triangle Away and they will be none the wiser. :3

Yeah custom ROMs can do everything a stock ROM can and more. You should not be missing any features.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

I think you will have to reflash the root using mobile Odin. Not too sure. Maybe someone else can come here and verify.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stevessvt:
FYI, Its been discussed countless times, in countless threads, Triangle Away does NOT work for any US variant of the GS3 currently, and its author says he most likely wont be making it work, either. Maybe someday someone will get it to work, but as of right now, no.

I know some people love sense, and others don't. Sense is not just additions, HTC or Verizon removes some Google gapps features.

[General Questions and Answers] samiro:
I read a lot of posts here abut installing Hebrew (MENUs) in android Chinese devices... But this is

not

my question

I just want to know - if the direction of right to left (rtl) is solved in android 4 version.

I want to buy Chinese device -

leave the menu in English

- and just want to type and read Hebrew (sms, surfing etc.) - (buy downloading hebrew keybord app).

thank you alot - this will help me.
[General Questions and Answers] Alpha120:
IMHO, for writing hebrew and reading it, I think is not related to the Android OS version.

Also, I think maybe the problem is that you can not change the rtl setting in chinese devices.

You could try to get a multilanguage rom for your device and check if hebrew is included.

But that was just my opinion.

Have a nice day!
[General Questions and Answers] samiro:
Hii

Hebrew is not included in the languages menu.

But I read a lot about that android 4.0.3 support RTL - and don't matter if it's Chinese or not.
[General Questions and Answers] Alpha120:
Hi again.

I have tested with my phone, SGS+ with "paranoidandroid" rom (ICS) and changed the system language to hebrew (i think it was) and I can write from right to left using the stock android keyboard.

I meant chinese phones are less supported and you will have a hard time searching a compatible rom or even rooting it.

So, question answered?:D

sound good you say "I can write from right to left using the stock android keyboard."

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lex_Ender:
i own an Xperia neo v and am trying to unlock it... I chose the test point method as depicted in the noob's guide which i found in the xda forums... it says to attach the test point to the ground (which i did using a wire and a pin) then connect the usb cable... while windows is searching and installing device detach the test point and windows will fail to install a driver which u then manually install from s1tool...

The problem i am havin is that when i attach the usb cable to the phone my computer doesn't seem to sense my phone at all... i've tried it on both my laptop and desktop and it's the same in both places... can anyone shed some light as to y i am havin this problem???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
connect the test point,click ready,at the same and then connect usb cable...

this job better if do 2 person,one person connect test point and 1 prson connect usb cable...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lex_Ender:
i'm quite sure i did it the way u said it... connect the test point, click ready on s1tool, connect usb... nothing happens... i was holding the pin to the test point for roughly 5 minutes waiting for something to happen but nothing...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
hurmm..weird,it should search the driver after u connect usb cable...

before this,i experience this problem for the first time,realized that the step is not correct...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lietotajs:
Delete in device manager S1 device and try all again - when windows asking for driver, not let automatically search, but manualy select from device list and brouse for driver.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lex_Ender:
That sound's like it might work but can u provide some steps as to how i might delete the s1 device in the device manager?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
this win xp system.make sure phone is ON and connect usb cable.

GO control panel>system>hardware tab>device manager>

search Universal Serial Bus controllers,if i m not wrong it will list zeus flash drive if u have already install it.

if exist,uninstall the driver...reboot...

Hello,

Looking for a case that can cover most of the phone, like an otterbox defender. Shattered my screen and now I need to cover the phone as much as I can, so I can return to best buy and add their insurance, Please help.

Already ordered a carbon fiber skin that'll cover most of the screen.

Why do you need a bulky case if your returning it to bestbuy?

allow me to translate his post:

"I shattered my screen, and i need a large obtrusive case that will hide the damage, so I can get insurance, and THEN get them to pay for my phone.. that I broke before getting the insurance."

Essentially, he is looking to scam best buy, and needs a case that will hide his damages when they inspect it... he is hoping they will not actually inspect the phone (unlike every best buy i have ever seen).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gunner86:
Wow.... And we wonder why we pay so much for stuff now days..... Its because of scammers like you....
