Thank you for the fair comparisons. Its often difficult for me to believe reviews are unbiased. In this case, I can relate since I own a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Nexus 7. And maybe, just maybe I will check out the mini iPad to see for myself. Up to this point I have had no interest in apple products, because of what I felt like unnecessary restrictions. But if they do come out with a mini version, and a price tag to match it, I think I am finally convinced to give it a try.
[Nexus 7 General] aneftp:
Just wanted to point this out. Same can be said about any Android tablet. Aren't Android tablet's just "one big Android phone?" Think about that since they (both ipad/iphone) and Android (phone/tablet) share mobile OS's.
[Nexus 7 General] bahehs:
In ics they have the tablet UI.
[Nexus 7 General] Drewbin:
Ya I agree. Now the the Android tablet UI and mobile are very similar. Android still tweaks it a little bit for example notifications being on the bottom instead of the top the menu keys being off to the side as opposed to the middle, and the lack of a 'dock' or whatever its called the phones have that the tablet does not. iOS is exactly the same across the phone and tablet besides some apps taking advantage of the larger screen, which the same could be said for Android

I was talking more the jump from Ginger bread to Honeycomb, now there very very similar.
[Nexus 7 General] emreis:
I have pretty much the same opinions, except that it is the iOS store that seems more expensive to me. And I can almost always find an app with a function I need for free on Google play while the iOS store has 1 or 2 good paid apps, and several terrible free ones (ex. the mkv player I was looking for a week ago)

I should also mention that I have the 3rd gen iPad, and it definitely beats 7 on the looks and build quality. However, I often just get extremely frustrated with the OS, I don't know if "locked down" is quite the word to describe it. Really what would make the happiest person alive is putting Android on the iPad hardware (or shell anyway).

To sum up: 3rd iPad looks delicious, and it a joy to use with things Apple wants you to use, but lacks a lot of functionality. The Nexus, ironically, "just works."

This is my only problem with the device so far. Seems more like a software issue due to the nature of the temporary fix
[Nexus 7 General] Run L1ke H3LL:
Like yourself i too have had the opportunity to own both devices. I found the 10" form to be way to big for me. It even caused me to sell my iPad.

However, the 7" size on the nexus is perfect and honestly expect apple to come out with a tablet this size because imo it really is perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Sounds like you have something eating your battery while it's in sleep mode. I lose about 2-4% overnight.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
How is having device specific app a good thing? It's actually pretty stupid to have a specific iPhone app, a specific iPad app, a specific iNote with digitizer pen app if they ever come out with one, etc. when it's simpler and more efficient to have one app cover all devices.

As for the claim with touch input not registering, have you enabled the built-in show touch input under developer options? More than likely it is registering the touch input but the app is busy such as is the case with Chrome when it's downloading and rendering a long web page.

As far as UI responsiveness iOS doesn't really do much other than display a static grid of icons. I can take an ancient 386 33MHz PC and it'll display and navigate the Window 3.1 desktop with ease. They both do very little to nothing with the UI.
[Nexus 7 General] F34RDR01D:
Yeah, as far as the battery goes... I'm at 72% on my Nexus 7, after 55hrs, no charging involved. lol. Its been used a little, not too much, but it's keeping its juice for me.
[Nexus 7 General] sparkerjc:
Stock rom? Is wifi/everything turned off?
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
If your not using the device, WiFi and Bluetooth go to sleep. So in effect the device goes into "airplane" mode. If I go the day without using mine, it drains at about 8-10% a day as well.

I love when I see other people that "get it" when it comes to Android app development vs. iOS app development. I'm constantly trying to explain to iFans and even some Android fans that in android you don't need multiple apps to cover phones, tablets, and now even TVs. But with iOS you do.
[Nexus 7 General] maxqc:
Sorry but I disagree... For example, take Twitter on Nexus 7 vs iPad.. Please don't tell me it's better on Android:

vs
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
You disagree because you (apparently) don't understand what I or the person I was responding to are actually saying... We are talking about app development, not comparing one Android app to one iOS app. What we are talking about is on a far larger scope. If devs don't restrict themselves to SDKs older than 2.3 apps can be written to display and work perfectly on multiple screen sizes without needing to be "stretched out" but instead have their own discrete set of UI elements/layouts, etc based on the screen size. In other words, a new version of Twitter than basically forgoes old versions of Android could be made to work like the "phone" version you see on the N7 AND work like the "tablet" version you see on the iPad, but in the same apk. This is probably where Android's infamous "fragmentation" issue really lies. Supporting legacy versions of Android. In the case of your Twitter app, it supports all the way back to 1.5 right? So of course it will be little more than a stretched out small screen app.

Does that make more sense?
[Nexus 7 General] maxqc:
Yep! Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] Kotyaer:
My wife has been suck with an LG Vortex for the last few months, and Verizon really is dragging its feet helping us. They want to issue replacement after replacement, when I've found that its a base issue with the phone.

The issue being some sort of screen saber, looks like dock mode almost, that pops up at the most random times, in her purse, while she's texting, on a call, tweeting, whatever. We've resetted it twice now, and that seems to stave it off for a few hours.

So, has anyone owned this phone, us it worth rooting? I found a few posts online about rooting it, not sure how well it works.

The worst part, is that she's seen my bionic, and knows what a smart phone should be, stock. She really wants to just switch phones, but we have 8 months till she's eligible for an upgrade, and Verizon wants us to follow their script first, before we even get the option.

I just think they'll drag it out until we are eligible for an upgrade. As it stands, her phone dies in a couple of hours, just sitting in her desk drawer, which negates its use as an emergency item in case something happens at work.

[General Questions and Answers] mikef:
There is no forum for the Vortex, so not much development. Probably have to stick it out or get an off-contract phone. You won't be able to access the marketplace here on XDA since you haven't been a member long enough, but there are sometimes good deals on ebay if you are careful.

I found a couple of posts here on XDA that stated z4root would at least give you root access to able to clean out bloatware and such.
[General Questions and Answers] Kotyaer:
Was thinking about getting root on it. Talking with verizon still, don't want to give them any reason to go "HA! IT WAS YOU!!!" if they want to swap units and find that I rooted it. I know it's rare, but I've become less than.... courteous with these folks, and I'm sure that there's at least one person who'd like to stick it to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] byproxy:
so i downloaded a CWM touch recovery that claimed to be kexec compatible from another thread and pushed it to the phone. loaded up fine. what i found odd was that i though only v6.0+ CWM's were kexec compatible. this CWM, however, reads as v5.8.4.5

i don't run a kexec rom at the moment... i had it installed for a short stint with CM10. i've since switched back to synergy.

anyway, wondering if anyone can confirm that this CWM is indeed a kexec compatible recovery.

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yeah it's the cwm touch. You just edit a file and it's supposedly kexec enabled. I've been too chicken to try it though, just don't have time on my hands to flash back via Odin because I'm never home >. >
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I used cwm touch with the first kexec kernel/recovery package that required to reflash the kernel each reboot. I believe it was called "boosted v.01"...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
I've used it and it worked with cm10 but not bean. Those are the only 2 kexec roms I've tried it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yeah but that was just a kernel. I think Kexec has come a LONG way since then though.

I finally ran the v6 supercharger script, I'm using launcher pro on liberty3, I ran the script on one setting and checked after I ran and it said my launcher was bulletproof ie supercharged, I then changed to a different setting rebooted and now it says my launcher is locked in memory, I un checked "keep launcher in memory" in launcher pro, do I need to stop the launcher from making cahces also????
[Motorola Droid X2] GuestK00367:
What else does it say in the V6 script? What percentage does it say you are supercharged? It's recommended that you disable "keep launcher in memory", but no need to do anything else. Try rebooting your phone after disabling keep launcher in memory and see what it says when your run the script.

[Motorola Droid X2] GuestK00367:
What won't install busy box? I could be wrong but I believe CM9 comes with busy box pre-installed, I think most custom Roms have it sort of built in. I know CM7 does, so I'd imagine CM9 does as well. Have you tried running the V6 Script? It will tell you if have busy box or not, as it checks for it as it runs. Your Rom may already have it, and that's why you couldn't install it using the app from the Market (if that's what you did).
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
No I need the custom busy box required for v6 supercharger... the app works lol. Also this rom does have a busybox but its not the right one... I have tried v6 and it won't run. Busybox incompatible .

[Motorola Droid X2] GuestK00367:
Oh lol, I don't know then. When I was on CM7 it had a different busy box version number than recommended, so when tried to install the updated version from within the busy box app, it would just hang forever after I hit the install button. So I just ran V6 with the version I had and it worked fine.

Maybe try grabbing the supercharger starter kit on Zepp's V6 thread. It includes a version of busy box that has already been verified to work with the script.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigitm:
Hi guys,

I think I (soft-)bricked my Galaxy Tab (P1000). I hope you can help me :)

About a month ago, my tablet had installed the Overcome Rom 4.1, based on Android 2.3.

I then decided to try CM9, so I installed one of the first CM9 official nightly builds. I think I installed it simply through the CMW Recovery.

Yesterday I found that the 9.0.0 stable build was out, so I downloaded it from get.cm.

I used Titanium Backup to backup important app data into the "internal sdcard".

Then I used ROM Manager to "install rom from sdcard", choosing to erase cache only (not data), and to create a nandroid backup of my current rom.

ROM Manager rebooted into CWM recovery and started to nandroid backup and to install the new rom.

But, sadly, at next reboot, the tablet was stuck at the samsung boot screen.

It was also impossible to enter recovery mode with the volume up key. The only working mode was the download mode (activated with volume down key)

Today I tried to flash the CWM boot image (downloaded from the Samsung Galaxy Tab (GSM): Full Update Guide" on CM website) using Odin.

Now I can access to CWM Recovery, but it shows a lot of errors.

E.g.:

entering CMW Recovery

CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.8
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

mounts and storage > mount /sdcard

Error mounting /sdcard!

mounts and storage > mount USB storage

E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Now here's my questions:

1. What happened? Did I do something wrong in updating CM9 to the stable version?

2. Will I be able to restore my data and/or my nandroid backup?

I can't mount my sdcard from CMW, but when I choose "restore from internal sdcard" it correctly tells my backup date, so I think the internal sdcard content is still there somewhere...

I'd really appreciate to restore all my apps and data!

3. How can I fix this mess? I'd like to have the CM9 installed and working.

Thank you very much!! :angel:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigitm:
Ok, I've just realized that the internal sdcard is /emmc and not /sdcard.

So the "mount /sdcard" error is normal.

I can correctly mount /emmc from CWM, but if I try to install a rom from a zip file (either the CM9 old nightly or the stable build, which are both saved on the internal emmc), it says:

Just restock and start over again:

From the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385153

How to Flash the above zips :

You need to restock your tab if you are running an old MTD build, (only if /system isn't 406 mb, check it by the command `df system` or use an app (such as root explorer) )

IF you are coming from a FSR (STL/BML) ROM (aka Samsung ROM - anything else than the latest CM9 builds / AOKP builds, i.e. any GB ROM, no need to restock)

IF you are coming from a froyo ROM, you need to flash a stock GB ROM first, follow the guide below :

Restocking :

Follow the team overcome restock guide [http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17], and completely restock your tab.

Once you've flashed it, reboot into download mode again and flash any kernel with recovery (any non-MTD kernels from humberos.com.br, or this forum, for your tab model)

After you've flashed the kernel, reboot into recovery, and this time, install the zip you just downloaded from CyanogenMod servers.

Install Google Apps if you want (gapps-ics-* from goo.im) [optional]

Reboot and enjoy your tab

Normal install :

You need to have a kernel with CWM Recovery

Get the zip from the above download links

Put the zip on your sdcard, reboot into recovery, and install the zip

It'll reboot a few times during the install, that's normal
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigitm:
Will I lose all data on the /emmc partition (including all my TitaniumBackup files) if I restock?

If the answer is yes, is there a way to copy some files from the emmc to an external sdcard before restocking? (e.g. using CWM, or Odin/Heimdall)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qqqxxxzzz:
Only if you install overcome rom (via CWM).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G0G0L:
Restock to 2.3.3. Then flash overcome before flashing cm9.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setalosas:
I have exactly the same scenario as you described, so I'm interested, could you find a solution?

I can restock with Odin using theTeam Overcome Guide, the tab boots ok. So I try to install CM9 again, I can flash the zImage with Heimdall no problem, but when I choose install the CM9 zip from the internal sdcard, I always get the same getprop assert above. I made this loop a few times now (trying to install CM9, restock), but it's always the same.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Weird that never happen to me.

Just to be crazy, can you try flash AOKP build 40 instead?

If it works, then flash cm9.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setalosas:
restock -> overcome 4.1 -> CM9

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setalosas:
1. restock as described the overcome guide

2. oneclick rooting

3. overcome 4.1 with odin

4. cm9 with cwm
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:


Sorry, by now I know overcome guide by heart and probably can write it out with my eyes closed.

but...

3. overcome 4.1 with odin

What is that?

I thought you flash overcome 4.0 kernel tar using Odin,

Not overcome 4.1 rom

Overcome rom is flashed using CWM only.

So, You mean restock - overcome kernel - overcome 4.1 - cm9

Rooting is redundant.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setalosas:
No, I didn't flash the overcome 4.0 kernel.

I used odin with the Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe.zip file unzipped, and put the proper files into the pit/pda/phone fields of odin. That's all.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomubber:
bummer

flashed GT-P1000 with CM9.1 stable version too. Suddenly the device keeps auto shutdown with unknown problems, app crashes such as Google Play (which I itched to remove and updated to the somenumber version) and changed Apollo app back and forth and back again of 1.0 version from the separate developed apk with the original cm9 Apollo. and then after many times flashing and tried to restore the CM9.1 Stable, the device wont let me use CM9 again. On boot scanning sd card, it shuts down weirdly. maybe there's some problem for my device with CM9. sigh.

Use Titanium Backup.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheDarkDefender:
Yes.. as emannxperia says , its not recommended.. might result in force close of apps.. so use titanium pro.. and follow this..

1. Setup the partition. Setup link2sd. 2. Reboot

3. Turn on autolink in link2sd

4. Now goto titanium.. then restore all apps plus data.. now every app is linked automatically and ur sdext is also restored. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] JN3141:
In Link2SD, there's an option to relink APK files from the second partition, and I've used that without any hassles (that I've experienced). The data doesn't get linked to the second partition though, so it still needs to use Titanium Backup :eek:

But either way, safer to just wipe the second partition and restore a Titanium Backup.

* --update_package=path - verify install an OTA package file

* --wipe_data - erase user data (and cache), then reboot

* --wipe_cache - wipe cache (but not user data), then reboot

* --set_encrypted_filesystem=on|off - enables / diasables encrypted fs
