[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dadeo1111:
My son, in college, sold his iPad2 - tired of apple and being locked in - and is looking for a comparable Android replacement. Any new suggestions. The N7 looks like the winner in the 7 inch space and for 10 inch I gather the Asus Transformer line is great on the higher end. How about Samsung? I am a little surprised to see them missing here. I thought they were a tough apple competitor?

I'll take all advice you have to offer - cheap tablet or new premium one - and pass it on. Thanks!

As for me, I'm happy with my Kindle fire with CM10 but covet the 16G N7. . I think he wants bigger, newer, faster..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Go with the nexus 7. Just because it's $199 doesn't mean it's "cheap". Does he really want a 10inch tablet? I feel like they're really uncomfortable to use.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] co.ag.2005:
go check out the reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (another) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (another). They don't sound like real winners to me but I also haven't tested them personally.

FWIW, I like my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Honeycomb on it was garbage so I was running CM9 (and then CM10) for a while but I just flashed a fresh copy of Touchwized ICS on it and like it a lot more. Now I'm just waiting for pershoots OC'ed kernel. I'm tempted to sell my Tab for a Nexus 7, however (hint, hint ;) )
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dadeo1111:
Thanks Guys!

I plan on telling him the N7 is about the best thing going now, esp. for the money. I tried his iPad and found it to feel huge, but I'm used to my 7 inch Fire.

I've heard Honeycomb was junk. I'd like him to get something he doesn't have to mod to enjoy for awhile. I was new to android and actually enjoyed my stock KF for about 2 weeks before I felt the need to root it. Then I was blown away - I really like the Android experience. I don't know if he'll want the 7 inch form factor for school, tho, but will recommend the Nexus 7 to him anyway.

I was thinking the Asus Transformers looked like nice systems, even without a keyboard..and there is an HTC 10 inch that looks interesting also. The Transformer Infinity really caught my eye. I think it comes with JB now. But is the same cost as a new iPad. I'm not sure how important price is..I know he needs is for school but that's about all. The Windows RT tablets come out in a couple of months - those look interesting. Not heard much about them. Is there any other 10 inch tabs coming out in the next month or so I can say to wait for? There's a new Kindle Fire coming soon - a 10 incher too, rumor has it. . But then he'd need to root it - or rather I'd have to for him. I get antsy enough rooting my stuff, but really antsy rooting others new hw.

Looking at the performance chart here - http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-review/ - that Acer Iconia seems to beat all others benchmarks. I'll mention the Acers to him too, unless there is something about them I don't know.

Are any of these 10 inchers we' ve mentioned not rootable, or dangerous to root? I had some moments rooting my Fire - soft bricked it once or twice with unproven mods.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I want a Galaxy Note 10.1. That thing looks sick. I don't know why but the past 2 weeks or so I've been really missing the Galaxy Note I sold to get the One X. The S-Pen comes in really handy. The tablet must be nice.

I've read some reviews that said the Note 10.1 isn't for everyone and that it doesn't really add much to the experience unless you do a lot of note taking or drawing but I'd rather have a tablet with that option if I ever needed it then not to have it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Unless you want a 10 inch tablet or you don't care about development for the it, the Nexus 7 is the best bet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
Nexus 7 hands down clear winner. Aokp on it is effing sexual.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dadeo1111:
The Nexus 7 is only missing one thing, IMO - the rear-facing cam. Not that I'd take a lot of pics with the N7, but might need to scan a qr code or photo a doc or address - stuff like that. Wonder if there's a work-around mirror/lens that would snap on the front-facing cam and aim it back to do the tasks I mentioned? That would be a cheap, easy fix for this issue for me since I wouldn't need that cam often.

iElvis - we need to adopt your sig policy in the Kindle Fire forum for CWM/TWRP since we have that same issue too. We only have one model tho, but CWM consistently bricks CM9 and CM10 flashes

Thanks again for all for your suggestions. Still lack input on Acer Iconia 10 incher but you've all been a ton of help. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I hardly ever use the rear facing camera on my HTC Flyer tablet. Over the course of over a year of ownership, I can probably count the number of pics with 2 hands, and have fingers left over. I mostly only use the tablet at home, or while traveling. And it seems that most every tablet has a crappy camera. So I'm just better off using my One X for pics, which I always have on me, even at home.

Although it matters how you would use your tablet, and that will certainly vary from one person to another. I thought I would use the camera on my tablet a lot, especially with the Notes (Evernote) function on the Flyer, embedding photos into field notes for work and whatnot. But I never ended up using my tablet much that way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
I had an iconia. Acer touch screens SUCK. Honestly...n7. Its a joy to use and cheap as hell. As for a camera...that's what your phone is for.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
As a tablet to compliment the One X, this looks pretty cool.

But I think I'm set on the 7" form factor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Booker21:
Hi,

I used a google app to change the dpi. i chooses 180 but it froze, so what i did was a recovery and restore from backup.

but since then i have a bad screen quality. I took a screenshot so you can see.it´s looks like a 8bit trying to display a 16 bit. You can clearly see this "degrade" on the icons top.

The screen does look ok, because i can display pictures or any type of content and it looks good. The problem is with some TWiz menu.

take a look at the "keypad" square. You can clearly see the lines there. It happens only there and on some menus, but mostly there.

I tried reinstalling the ROM with Odin, doing a wipe cache and factory reset and same results.

any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Emotion:
That is normal in stock Samsung's dialer app. It is not your phone

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
OK, my Vivid is really running quite nicely on the stock OTA ICS, only one issue remains. Every time I restart the thing, it goes through the Android is upgrading routine. I am aware that this is caused by ICS clearing a cache every time it restarts, but really... I have a lot of apps on this thing and it takes forever.

If any of you knowledgeable people out there have solved this, I will greatly appreciate it. I have looked through the threads and have not found anything, but my searches may not be the best.

Thanks for any assistance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
This does not happen on a deodexed custom Rom only stock there are plenty of stock looking custom roms you can try
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] altanimi:
ICS just does this (even on the Galaxy Nexus). Any deodexed ROM should solve this issue, and your phone should boot faster, too. Look around the dev section, there are plenty.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
OK. I was hoping to stay on pretty much stock (rooted, unlocked of course), but it's nice to know that there is a solution for the upgrading issue. For now, I will probably just stay on stock and deal with it, but if it really starts to bug me I will go with a deodexed ROM.

Thanks for the help, you folks are great.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
In articles released today, Nvidia said the Tegra 3 chipset will support miracast (an open streaming tech similar to DLNA) for mirroing/streaming to other devices/ monitors. Will the Nexus support this and would this be their workaround for forgoing the MHL/HDMI? Or would it only be on future models? -Ara
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfucci:
I'm very curious about this too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckl_88:
I've looked into this briefly and from what I gather, any device that supports WIFI direct should be able to do this. I think I read somewhere that the N7 has wifi direct. Miracast is only a standard. There are other non-standard devices out there that can also do the same thing, but requires changes to the core android files.

Search for xbounds on youtube and the internet. You will see some demos of it. it requires an hdmi dongle that has wifi on it that communicates with your device.

In any event, if the N7 doesn't support miracast, it will support xbounds via a custom ROM (if and when somebody decides to build a custom ROM with xbounds integrated). Then all that is required is the xbounds dongle. Unfortunately, there is not much information on xbounds and when it will be released.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e-zzy1:
What would I need to purchase to get this working?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
Hopefully, we don't need to buy stuff, we just need to update our devices when miracast comes down. There's a list of compatible devices on the Wi-Fi Alliance website. -Ara

EDIT: here's a link to the tegra explanation of miracast, taken from an article on the issue. Yeah, a dangle may be involved depending on the setup. http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/tegra_white_papers/tegra-miracast-whitepaper-final.pdf

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfucci:
Shouldn't need a dongle. Maybe a Raspberry Pi but everyone should have one of those anyway :) Search "Android Transporter" for more info.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwistedRat:
Nexus Q might get Miracast support

Nexus 7 and most Tegra 3 (also Galaxy S3) phones/tablets can get a fw upgrade to enable miracast (most that support WIFI Direct probably can have Miracast enabled).

Now that google is having another round of tinkering on the Nexus Q before release we might end up with Miracast support in it as well.

Personaly I think Miracast will be added out of the box and maybee even Google TV.

I only hope that it won't be possible to disable mirroring from inside an app using the API, if so I'm sure some streaming services will disable mirroring of the screen while using there apps lika HBO Go have done to Airplay :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Using a Raspberry Pi would be like a dongle... I'd like to get my hands on one to play, currently, there is a 12 week delivery time on those as well and you most likely would want it in some sort of case for it as well.

While most likely a solution, not a real clean one for mass marketing. That will come though.

Hopefully it does include support, but that is still a bit pricey and also not very portable.

Think of something you put in your briefcase, take out for a meeting, plug into the HDMI port of whatever display is in the room and play. So it needs to be portable, reasonably priced and easy to use out of the box without a lot of fiddling with it.

Yes, happens all the time. So this is rom fault? Should I just use rooted stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pjflo:
This was happening all the time to me, on stock ICS and when I went to JB.. I am running my own build of CM10 and the issue has subsided.

Personally I Think a bad flash is to blame.

just try reflashing.. like i say i had this problem consistently and flashed many different roms with no resolution.. but now its fine very odd..

Like i say do a wipe and full flash/reinstall.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgerard:
I also have to disagree with this. My GSM Nexus on T-Mobile has been rock solid. GPS lock in about 3 to 5 seconds and never a drop call and data speed has been great. We all know the first T-959 Vibrants had GPS issues but I sent mine in and Samsung fixed it. I wonder if it has to do with location? Here in Chicago my friends who are still on Sprint always complain about dropped calls and loss of network. And they are all using a mix of phones from different mafs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enik_fox:
A lot of it also is how the phone handles the signal display. Some phones display a higher signal then others as like a placebo. 5 bars on a moto RAZR and 3 on my gnex and mine still wins in speed tests.

Yea, do the bars really mean anything? I have had 8 Mbps download speed on full bars and 9 Mbps on 0 or 1 bar of signal and still no issues with calls.

They don't. You could have 5 bars and 500k people on the same tower as you and you'll get better service with 1 bar and 50k people on the tower.
