Oops, another fail for the more-than-double-price tablet.

Also, whilst the GPU chip in the Ipad3 is better than Tegra3, performance is almost identical due to the amount of pixels the Ipad3 needs the GPU to push.

Apple doubled the cores in the GPU from ipad2>Ipad3 but the screen is pushing out x4 the pixels - hence a lower performing GPU compared to ipad2.

So, why pay more than double for a device that has slower browsing and identical gaming performance?

It also only has a dual core cpu, whilst the Nexus 7 is quad core running at a higher clock speed too.

ALSO jelly bean runs at a smoother & higher framerate too, and it's actually portable. :)
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
iPad3 GPU is not better than Tegra3. Attaining a high number on useless synthetic benchmarks do not equate to real world graphics games and apps performance. Also, when it comes to graphics effects and physics Tegra3 is superior.
[Nexus 7 General] Jenich:
Fanboy self-flattery :) each camp does that equally...

Tegra 3 12 gflops

A5 16 gflops

A5x 32 gflops

Just raw computing power of gpu... Simple. ( source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5663/analysis-of-the-new-apple-ipad/ ) check out other tables there... They might tease you good too :)))

Here is my highly scientific comparison:

Volkswagen golf:

Inexpensive

16 cylinders!

Cosy and spacious for family

Golf club no. 5 iron

Might be expensive or cheap

No cylinders at all (sic!)

Waaat? You cant ride it to the nearest sams club to return deffective nexus 7?! What a rip off!!! (couldnt resist :) just kidding - been there!)

Enjoy your devices and take it easy :)
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
For me, the biggest comparison is in areas of functionality. With the N7 (or really Android tab) I can do the things that are most important to me. Namely, access files on network shares, browsing, advanced email features, etc. The iPad is just far too limited. I heard in iOS 6 they finally add the ability to attach files to emails, but network share access still seems to elude Apple and the devas who write iOS apps. There is only one app that is complete garbage. I guess if you want games the iPad is cool, but I've yet to find a game really worth my time on a tablet. Not much will change that. If I want game play, I'll buy a console or reinvest in a newer gaming PC.
[Nexus 7 General] Jenich:
Ios is insanely closed ecosystem, but almost everything is possible with jaikbreak. For instance anyattach tweak adds all the attachment function to email app, so there is no difference between android and ios mailing. Why do I need to tweak email app so I can do basic task? Don't ask me :))

I really dont get it why they made ios that stupid :)) anyway... I am using both systems daily and heavily and I cant say ios is lacking any features... Usb host, file sharing, samba, file management, terminal, no need to use crappy itunes (ifile), full multitasking ( like recording in garageband using external sound DAC and recording video in camera app at the same time - in courtesy of quasar tweak)

Just saying... It is all possible... You just have to be a poweruser :)
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
I'm less and less impressed by the display on the nexus 7. It has pretty dull colors, yellowish whites and an over all murky look when placed next to a good screen(my super amoled screen). Can't complain too much though, because the price is good.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
Whites are very white...

You using auto brightness?
[Nexus 7 General] Shrink:
From the display point of view, I just can't imagine the retina display providing such an enhanced user experience over the resolution of the N7 (at least from the point of view of my old eyes).
[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:
ipad = very boring after <10min. of use
[Nexus 7 General] ikeny:
Agreed. But then many user aren't exactly seeking for excitement from the OS. They are probably more interested in the apps themselves, or they just want things to work with minimum effort or a minimum learning curve.

I am a tech geek and I enjoy fooling around android. However, I would only recommend iOS to my friends and family who are not tech geeks. For the exact reason that it is dead easy to use; i.e., boring. Furthermore, they can walk right into an Apple store for FREE seminars and one-on-one tutorials any time they own their devices. Yes, even though iOS is so simple, some people still need help with it.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
I still think Siri is still a lot better than Google Now. Google Now is obviously a bit quicker as the videos show, but Siri still provides a whole lot more answers (and much more detailed) and results. Google Now likes to search Google... a lot.

Siri also provides more "complete" results. If I want to find an Italian restaurant, and simply say "Italian Restaurant" both will give me a listing of restaurants, but Siri's will be a list of restaurants, their yelp review, its distance, and its price. Google will simply provide a list of restaurants and their addresses (which is pretty useless if you don't know the area). The list goes on and on with stuff like restaurants, movies, and more relatively simple queries. And there are just a whole lot more questions that you can get an answer to on Siri than Google Now. Google Now googles way too much. And I realize that there will/are also be questions that Google answers and Siri can't. But as of right now, that scale is heavily tilted in Siri's direction.

Google Now is certainly quicker, nobody will deny it. And speed is definitely a very nice thing to have. But if it doesn't provide you with much better than a Google search when you go past relatively stock questions, then what good is it It also lacks a lot of system integration like facebook, calendar entries or app openings. It is good, and is very good for its first attempt out of the gate, but Apple has had a year head start to work out kinks and add functionality, and it shows.

Disclaimer: This is after messing around with an iPad 3 on iOS 6 and a Nexus 7. I was not all inclusive and don't pretend to be; and honestly I do not use either voice assistant on a regular basis, so I'm not claiming this as a definitive study. But in the last 30 minutes messing around with both asking a lot of questions that I could think of and some I found on youtube comparison videos, it really wasn't even a competition. The only thing Google Now was definitively better at was being faster.
[Nexus 7 General] Lodovik:
No, I would never sell my iPad3 because I got a Nexus 7. I bought the Nexus7 because it was better a some tasks that the iPad3 (ebook reading, for example is important to me). This is the same reason as why I bought an iPad because it was much better than a notebook when using it to read magazines, surf the web, consult PDFs. They complement each other and Steve Jobs was wrong when he said that the 7 inches tablet form factor wasn't good at anything.

I hope Apple would not make the mistake of bringing an iPad mini with 4/3 screen ratio and a 1024x768 screen. In fact, now that I have the N7, I really don't care much about the iPad Mini as I find this device extremely nice to use. As for Android vs IOS, it's like freedom vs living in a jail. You're more secure with IOS but you can't always do what you want. The more I use Android, the more I like it. But I will still keep my iPad3. I sold my iPod Touch 4G though...;)
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
No. The brightness was at max on both my screens, the super amoled looked 10x better in terms of color and whites. Perhaps it's just my device, I didn't notice it until I saw them side by side. Yellowish isn't quite accurate but it looked off white compared to the super amoled.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
Definitely your device, i have mine set to 50% and whites are very white.

Your also the first person I've heard say an amoled screen produces white.

I've owned a few amoled screens, and white is something they don't do.
[Nexus 7 General] Justdoit2u:
Only in the USA! Outside of its native country SIRI is crap as the search doesn't include businesses! Yes with the N7 non USA users are to set it to USA settings for it to work the same because for some reason it removes some functions overseas but you can always add something like speaktoits assistant for even better voice interaction!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
Ok thought i would post my own thread to see if anyone can help me.

I have a S3 from Three UK. Was running on stock Three rom. I flashed it with the latest non branded S3 rom. Now the WB-AMR setting is off and i cannot turn it on even though it was on as default in the Three branded rom.

What i want to know is will the WB-AMR only be switched on on the Three branded rom or could i for example keep the unbranded rom but flash the Three CRC to get the hd voice enabled? Or is this setting contained within the actual rom itself, therefore i would need to go back to the branded rom to obtain the hd voice? Im slightly confused. Any help appreciated. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CSC can be flashed as standalone. See the rom guide.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
Sorry i already know this (should have said) but is the HD Voice option stored on the actual rom or the csc? Dont want to flash the CSC to the stock branded Three rom incase it doesnt work then i have to install everything again. What exactly does the CSC do?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
:) So would i be correct in thinking that flashing the original Three CSC will give me back my HD voice and i can use this in conjunction with the latest unbranded rom? If i done this would i be able to continue to get updates via Kies or OTA or would this cease seeing as im not using the supplied CSC with the rom?

Thanks for your help btw. Appreciate it :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
Ok i flashed the stock Three CSC but when i go into change the CSC it still lists the same options as before. I.E BTU,CPW,DBT,ITV,KOR,XEF,XEO.

Phone is still on CSC I9300OXABLG8. Im even more confused now. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
Ok spent more time with the phone and managed to get the Three CSC onto the phone with the latest unbranded firmware. It didnt however re-enable WB-AMR (HD VOICE) so i flashed it back. It would appear that it is enabled in the rom. Why it isnt enabled as standard i have no idea seeing as the phone supports it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
What are you doing to check and enable the setting? And did flashing the CSC wipe your device?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
I don't understand why Samsung have disabled WB-AMR on unbranded devices.

The hardware obviously supports this feature, so why not at least have it as a settings option? Most networks here appear to support it.

I'm also with THREE UK and I'd like to use HD-Voice, but WB-AMR is disabled.

The phone is smart enough to load all the other settings (e.g. service centre numbers) related to my network, so why not WB-AMR?

Yes, I know I could flash a different ROM, but I don't want the operator bloatware or any theoretical risk of losing warranty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
I was going into the service menu via the code i found on here. There is no option to turn on WB-AMR. I can see the menu but pressing Audio doesnt do anything and when i go into the WB-AMR menu it is turned off with no way to re-enable it.

Flashing the CSC did wipe my device.

Im still waiting on Samsung to get back to me. Over a week now with no reply from them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gooshy:
What code did you use to bring up the service menu. Im on a JB rom and the ones i've tried give the error "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
1-be sure that THREE support HD Voice

2-flash the latest THREE stock rom

3-root it

4-copy the /system/csc folder and the /system/SW_Configuration file to your external SDcard

5-remove all the bloatware apk (also look for branded bootanim, ringtones, ...) from the csc folder on your external SDcard

6-flash the stock rom you want

7-root it

8-delete all the content of your /System/csc folder

9-now push back the content of the folder and the file you have previously copied on your external SDcard

10-now you have to make a hard reset to aplly the CSC settings. There is 2 way for that depending on what was in the THREE /system/csc folder

10a-first way: open dialer and dial *#272*YOURIMEI# and select your CSC and hit "apply"

10b-second way (only if first one does not work): restart in recovery and make a factory reset

11-you're done

You should now be with your unbranded rom without THREE customization but with THREE csc settings (APN, HD Voice, Fast Dormacy, ...)

I do that on my phone and I now run Stock XXBLG8 with SFR (french carrier) settings and no bloatware or customization
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstevie:
Thanks Mopral i had seen you posting that in another thread but it isnt suitable for myself. I dont fancy having to do that everytime a new firmware is out , i quite like getting OTA updates with limited hassle. It is a solution but one we shouldnt have to do considering the phone and my carrier support HD voice.

*#197328640# is the code i used to get into the service menu. Im still on ICS so no idea if it works with JB.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
There has GOT to be a way to turn on the setting without flashing CSC....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Not sure...

It seems that there is no access to this settings on the SGS3

So until someone find a solution, there is only the hard way...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjgore:
Apologies for the bump, but this has been a VERY useful thread for me today, and I wanted to add something.

I had been using CM10 for a while which supports HD voice without any issues (CSC is only for Samsung ROMs) but then I moved to Omega ROM for various reasons, and the one thing I missed was HD voice.

I managed to get it working, based on Mopral's excellent steps below, but without wiping my internal memory and also without wiping data.

Here's what I did:

1. Used the code *#197328640# to get to the service menu. [8] WB-AMR Status showed "WB-AMR Setting: OFF".

2. Did a nandroid backup of my current Omega ROM v30 (DLJ2) setup using CWM Touch 6.0.1.2.

3. Flashed the I9300XXDLJ1 Three UK official stock Jelly Bean release found in this thread using MobileODIN (checking all EverRoot and SU Injection options).

4. Using Root Explorer, copied /system/csc folder and the /system/SW_Configuration file to my external SDcard.

5. Did a nandroid restore of my current Omega ROM v30 setup using CWM Touch 6.0.1.2.

6. Using WinRAR on my PC, I created a copy of the Omega ROM v30 zip file and deleted the contents of /system/app. Then I dragged and dropped the files from my external SDcard into the zip file to this location (using the "Add and Replace" feature of WinRAR). Did the same for the /system/SW_Configuration file.

7. Flashed this new customised Omega ROM zip over the top of my existing setup that I had just nandroid restored. I did NOT wipe data.

8. After booting, I used the code *#197328640# to get to the service menu again. [8] WB-AMR Status now shows "WB-AMR Setting: ON". Rang my wife on her S3 to test it, HD voice working perfectly!

I hope somebody finds this useful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parker09:
Hey, my question isn't for a problem but just a general knowledge one, when installing CM ROMs it always seems to detect the mobile data and obviously when setting up the phone through the installation phase it asks you if you want to enter in a Google account.

Why doesn't it ask you for WiFi credentials after choosing the language you want to use instead of using mobile/cell data to sync your Google account which might sync Emails/Calendar/Photos etc to your phone which could be fairly large if you have a lot of photos.

I'm sure there's a reason but just can't seem to think of one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
It could be because not everyone who is installing CM has WiFi access or its likely that's just how the setup wizard was programmed and designed to work.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
If you used adb then you know more than I do.

The only thing I can think of is if you are full wiping.

Booting into recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe dalvik

Format all partitions except sd card.

I suggested to get 4ext touch becauee you can use the screen to navigate in the recovery section instead of the volume buttons to format and flash.

If you are having hardware issues, could it be a hardware problem? It happebed after you got nervous which leads to believe it may be software related. But if you flashed a stock rom using adb, did that fully wiped your phone? I don't know.

If it didn't, try a full wipe.

Read this only for informational purposes. Don't try anything until you are sure it's not software related.
