[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
I want it for the CPU. I dont care for the Tegra 3.
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
Dump the USB stick and get the Verizon 4G LTE Mifi device, it allows the connection up to 5 mobile devices and doesn't have the quirks and limitations that a USB air card have which primarily drivers and connection limitation.

I used one for my Prime in the past, I haven't tried it on my new Infinity yet, but I'm 100% certain it will work as all the Mifi does is create a 4G LTE hotspot that any wifi enabled device with WPA2 support can connect to.
[Asus Transformer TF700] brucewilsonpa:
I agree with this approach -- if you really want connectivity away from a wifi source I see this as far better way to go -- you can carry the VZW Jetpack in your pocket and it's good for a number of hours, usually long enough to bridge between wifi connections -- it also can be powered by AC if near a power outlet. The down side, of course, is the need to have an additional data plan.
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
Actually, there is no additional data plan required if you have the share plan. And whatever the cost, it would be the same for the USB as the MiFi, but the MiFi can drive more than one device at the same time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Are you really concerned with the possibility of changing carriers? If so, what is the area in which this would be used in? Verizon uses CDMA for their 4G and though CDMA is a better technology, it is only available in North America (thus, less carriers and use space). If you have any plans of using this setup outside the US, you'd be much better off with GSM which is now coming into the 4G level but can be used world-wide. I have a ZTE MF60 which I used in Europe to get 3G mobile data on everything - 2 laptops, 2 tablets and a phone. The mobile wifi hotspots definately are worth the annoyance of carrying around an extra device. Haven't tried it yet, but one could possibly use the keyboard dock USB to charge the hotspot and provide access to other devices. So, you basically have 2 choices ahead of you: Technology type (based off of region of access) and How you want to use it (plug into only one device or a hotspot for everything).
[Asus Transformer TF700] omahacrazymike:
If I'm not mistaken, Verizons 4G technology is actually not based on CDMA. Verizon 4G phones inherently have GSM capabilities (if the kernel and ROM support it) because it essentially uses a GSM antenna. They also have CDMA radios as well, to support Verizons 3G network.

Correct me if I am wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
The only thing that might pose an issue is that the LTE frequencies that VZW uses are not the same world-wide, so while the GSM side should work, LTE speeds might be difficult to achieve outside the US.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Seems I stand corrected. The 4G LTE is based off GSM, so at least that would work in GSM areas (though perhaps not at 4G speeds). Phone communication still uses CDMA unless its a dual phone that can use GSM or CDMA. GSM functionality is not natively inherent to Verizon's phone nor CDMA. If you want to test it here in the states, move from Verizon to AT&T or T-mobile. If it works that way then it will work in a GSM environment.

Why Verizon 4G LTE smartphones are a bad choice for world travelers
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
Actually, the Razr with ICS provides global roaming, but so do their 4G jetpacs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Well, now that's cool about the RAZR... might have to read up on that 'un.

But what I meant is that one needs to find a specific functionality that allows for such roaming. Buying Verizon does not automatically get GSM nor does having CDMA automatically work worldwide. One needs to find a device where it is specifically mentioned, such as that RAZR you indicated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
The 4G JETPACS do call it out. They support GSM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Yeah, I see that it's 4G LTE and they mention it's "global ready". Is that the new marketing term for "worldwide"? Good find in any case and probably very applicable to the OP if they wish to go with Verizon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HowardZ:
Well, I was comparing tablets to my HTC rezound phone with 4.3 inch 720p screen, mhl hdmi, and removable sd storage.. It has the radio hardware an and antennas for Verizon's LTE, and also for GSM. There are people in other countries who use it with GSM with a Rom change.

I figure that tablets were invented by Apple because some iPhone users prefer a larger screen. However tablets initially had no cell radio because Apple either thought it impracticable to use a tablet as a phone, or wanted people who prefer a larger screen to buy both an iPhone and an iPad, or perhaps some other reason.

However, Samsung sells the Galaxy Note, and it is rumored HTC will soon release a new phone with 5 to 6 inch 1080 p screen and quad core cpu. Hopefully it will have a similar radio to the rezound's.

Thus it seems what I really want is a phablet, a phone with a larger screen. One that can do everything my existing phone is capable of doing, but has a larger screen for web page viewing. With no need to carry around two devices.

It has been invented, Samsung makes it, and other manufacturers are also designing them.

Perhaps some day all phones and tablets will come with global radios. Cell phone providers will be banned from selling hardware, and have no involvement in approving and bloating ota updates. Of course this will not occur by the time my Verizon contract is up.

regards

Howard
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
I have a Samsung Note I717 on AT&T and a Razr Maxx on VZW. I also have the TF700. I have the same software on all three. Why? I mostly use the Razr for phone calls and as my main device because the network is much better and the battery life is in a class by itself. I like the Note because I can leave my paper notebook home and I can use the pen to take notes. It also gives me a backup phone, but to be honest, it is too big to use without a headset. It also lets me change batteries (PITA, but useful). The TF700 with the dock allows me to leave by laptop home when I really need a keyboard to type long documents and emails. And, when I am not able to use WIFI for the TF700, I use either the Razr or the Note as a tether. Since VZW LTE is almost ubiquitous now, I use that to tether the most, but in the rare occasion when there is no LTE, the Note is better.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
I think I bricked my tab 2 (gt-p3113) it keeps on looping at boot, I recently flashed cm10 on it then flashed stock rom (it was laggy, so I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery to reinstall cm10) after flashing clockworkmod, it kept on looping. I don't know what the problem is, please help.

UPDATE: I kept on pressing random buttons to reach download mode, but I need a stock rom + stock recovery (this rom was 4.0.3) for my device (samsung-updates site is moving servers or so)

I downloaded my stock rom from this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645295&page=3 it's laggy + apps kept on crashing)

I need a new stock rom because flashing clockworkmod recovery on this rom always causes a bootloop, I want to install cwm recovery to restore my data.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickywinataa:
first, try to download the stock recovery from sammobie.com , put it on your external sd & then try to re install CWM via odin, wipe your data and everything (if you're returning from CM10 to stock one) and then re-flash the stock ROM, hope this might help you :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
I couldn't find it on sammobile, but I googled it (794MB, downloading..) I think the problem was that I flashed cwm for 4.0.4 (seeing as I had 4.0.4 before cm10) then the stock rom I flashed was 4.0.3 (I can't update my device via OTA, idk why)

I'm just afraid the newest firmware I'm downloading lags and so, because the one I downloaded earlier (the 4.0.3 one) keeps lagging and force closing apps.

UPDATE: I flashed it, works perfectly fine, now I'm on my way to flash clockworkmod recovery and to root it in order to run cm10, but is there a way I can ONLY flash the stock recovery back? the md5 file I downloaded contains recovery.img is there a way I can flash it in odin without the whole ROM?

Your Tab is not bricked. A bricked Tab / Phone will not turn on. There won't be any response from the device, whatever you do. Because, I bricked one of my friends Mobile.

All you need to do you is, to install a proper firmware on your Tab 2. PM me if you need any help.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike02z:
Mine started acting like it was bricked. Refused to turn on. I held the power button for 2+ minutes, nothing. Then I let it charge for 4+ hours and tried to turn it on, again, nada. I then unplugged it and held the power button and it booted. The first time the screen went to sleep it would not respond again. Plugged the cable in for a minute, then unplugged and it started. Battery was at 90%. It is on it's way back to Samsung now. They say 7-10 business days, we'll see.

So im ready to upgrade my phones on Tmobile and I read that the SGS 3 does not support LTE on Tmobiles network. Is this a deal breaker? Ive read that LTE is a battery vampire. Tmobile LTE network isnt due till next year. I plan on keeping the SGS 3 for 2 years, hoping it would be a bit of future proofing for me since its the hottest phone right now.

Is no LTE support a deal breaker?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It's up to you, if LTE speed (constant 15Mbps+) is necessary for you then get an LTE S3 like ATT. If 3-7Mbps speed is enough, then get an HSPA+ only S3 like T-Mo.

However, the T-Mo S3 has 42Mbps+ radio, so if you a near a T-Mo tower, you can potentially get 10-20Mbps download speed.

You might better off ask this at the T-Mobile S3 section.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BrightMikal:
Hello, and thanks for reading.

First up, the simple stuff.

My girlfriend recently suddenly passed away. She leaves behind a Samsung GT-B3410 with a security code (Phone lock)

I'm trying to get in to access texts, etc. So the on-board memory.

I've tried:

Her service provider, Orange - no luck

The handset maker, Samsung - They can bypass it, but by wiping the phone.

Police, to see if they had any methods - Pointed me to PC World :confused:

Samsung Kies software, to see if it would bypass and read the data - No, it doesn't

"Master" security codes - Missing the asterisk sign on the numpad, plus possible wipe of phone.

Those phone unlocking shops - 1 shop out of about 40 said they could, but each time I've gone back they've been closed. Not sure if they're shut for good.

I'm not trying to unlock the phone for use on other networks, and I've already copied the files off her memory card - pictures, videos etc.

There is a piece of software, found on unlockbehold (google, sorry newbie here) which claims to do exactly the job I need, for Samsung handsets.

I can't verify whether it's legit or just malware, but either way I downloaded the free detector software, and it doesn't support her handset.

If anyone can help, please reply.

Thanks in advance,

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
Okay so I plan on ordering a touchpad this week or so and I have some questions regarding the roms and their stability.

first of all, which roms do you reccomend and/or are the most stable?

Are there any roms in beta? the only one I know of is Miui :(

Is there a rom with microphone/camera support?

And finally, is an hp touchpad worth the upgrade from a Viewsonic Gtablet (if anyone else has used both and compared them)?

any help is appreciated :laugh:
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
Firstly, you probably should have taken a moment to do a search - almost all of your questions have been asked many times before. However, to save you from the flame-bait and others who'll consider you a troll, I'll try and help you out a bit.

So, to answer your first question, the most stable would probably be the official CM9 Nightlies. To the best of my (personal and limited) knowledge, none have been promoted to official "beta" status, but then again, we went from an unofficial Alpha to Alpha2, to the nightlies. So that's probably your best bet for stability. I know from personal, anecdotal experience, that I haven't had a crash on my TP in weeks, and I would call it definitely stable. But that's just me.

Microphone support has been added into the repository, but the camera isn't as of yet. Which honestly doesn't bother too many people, unless they need to video chat. And if they need that, the nice thing about the TP is in about 5 minutes you can have it rebooted into WebOS, which has Skype native support, and you can chat from there. Then, do a quick reboot (about 2 mins or less), and you're back in Android.

As for the upgrade from the GTablet, I couldn't tell you. I know that I really enjoy my TP, and I like the way it looks and handles better than my father's Galaxy Tab 10.1, but that's just me. For the 200 bucks I paid for mine (including shipping to Canada), I can't say anything bad about it. It gets used daily, flashed daily, and it works like a hot damn all of the time. So yes, I suggest you get one, because it's an amazing piece of technology, AND it's in the process of getting an upgrade to Jellybean, so that's another plus in it's books (that a lot of other devices don't have yet).
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustinhayes93:
I would suggest you get one also. But I would view eBay for about a week or two. Usually you can find

It'll work with calls and text and at best on a edge or gprs web. Unless you can find a 3g service that uses ONLY the 2100 mhz band.

Otherwise the 3g with straighttalk won't work as it requires 850 or 1900 mhz bands but you should still be able to make calls and texts

Or any better solution .Thanks in advance.:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
So let's see what happened here...

You downloaded some other phone's TWRP and flashed it on, seems like it would work, right? Nope. What happened is that the zip flashed the other phone's recovery file (which will not work on your phone anyway) to the phone's EXTENDED partition.

To recover you will need a Linux OS (Ubuntu for example), and I will try to send my mmcblk0p4 for you to flash on (not sure it will work though).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
This mean that recovery is not just the recovery.img file there is others files,if so where they are?in system?

I don't have Linux OS therefor I'll download Ubuntu and I'll try it. Can you explain more about how can I solve the problem in Ubuntu?What is mmcblk0p4?

Sorry to bother you, can I solve the problem by force upgrade?by installing a stock rom for example.

I have a Nandroid backup. If that information is useful.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Hopefully the mmcblk0p4 partition just got overwritten by the recovery and nothing else is touched, but let's see. I am not very clear about this as the recovery file is about 5M size, but the mmcblk0p4 holds only 1KiB.

Download this file: mmcblk0p4.img

Turn on your phone to the pink/blue screen & connect to PC.

Open Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)

Check the dmesg log (write dmesg). Note the /dev/sdX.

Navigate to the folder you saved the file (cd).

Write in "sudo dd if=mmcblk0p4.img of=/dev/sdX4". Replace the X with the one you got from the log. (If it asks for password, use the one you installed Ubuntu or simply press enter)

Exit the Terminal and restart your phone.

This writes back the mmcblk0p4 original content, so it might fix the device. If not, we will have to dig deeper.

If something is not clear, be sure to post back.
