I say go for the Galaxy Note 10.1. It's a bit newer and you also get a newer version of ICS. You may take a hit in the screen resolution, which is 1280 X 800. You do get a quad core CPU, with the Mali-400mp GPU, and 2 GBs of memory. Plus you get a pen with it ^__^. When looking at the Prime you may get a higher resolution screen of 1920 X 1200, you get a dual core CPU, the Adreno 225, and 1 GB of memory. In terms of GPU power both offer about the same performance wise. With all the other bells and whistles both have very comparable stats.

Here's a long and detailed review for the Galaxy Note 10.1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wf_PqPi2tw&lc

Here's a long and detailed review for the Prime Infinity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xvzgGOpUFA

Specs on Galaxy Note 10.1 http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-4573.php

Specs on Prime Infinity http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_transformer_pad_infinity_700_3g-4604.php

If you can wait for the Windows Surface tablet to come out to see what it offers, and I highly suggest not to get an iPad because it doesn't support flash lol, and has little to no customization. Plus it's the older iPad 2 which only has a comparable GPU the PowerVR SGX543 MP2. However, the screen res is even lower than the Note 10.1 (1024 X 768) , and it has only 512 mb of ram (which in some occasions isn't enough anymore), has no dock, and has no expandable storage either.
[General Questions and Answers] technewbie:
Thanks for the great links and tip. I'm going to do a tryout of some tablets to see how easy and good they are at note taking. If the infinity it Samsung galaxy note 10.1 don't fit my list. I will wait for the windows surface pro to come out and buy it, that is if neither the infinity or samung note 10.1 satisfy my needs.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jinx083464:
My last phone (xperia play) I would often make use of the google voice search to get my bus routes. Just hold the physical search button down and your prompted to speak. Speak 'directions to wherever' and google maps pops up recommending bus routes to my destination.

I'd like to be able to do this task just as easily on the galaxy s 3. There is no physical search button on the device, but you can hit the home button twice and it will pull up S voice. But now when you ask for directions to something, it puls up navigation instead of google maps, and does not get me my bus routes as was my intention. So, I'm wondering if I can either set up google voice search to be used when I double press the home button instead of S voice, or if I can change the default app launched for the 'directions to' voice prompt in S voice.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] instechgainza:
best bet is to change a launcher..I'm using apex launcher and set up the home key action to voice search or whatever application that need to show when pressing the home key.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sriharsha_ss:
Use app called Home2shortcut. Disable launch svoice by double tap in svoice settings. Open home2shortcut and follow instructions.

Beautiful case wich is available in two colors.Whie and blue, the blue one fits really nice for the blue S3.

I'll write little more tomorrow :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] marcucci217:
Hey thanks for the share. Interesting that the sides are unprotected in this shell-style case when it seems like the norm for manufacturers of similar styles to leave the top and bottom unprotected instead. Not sure which I like better. Hmmm
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mr.megi:
Yeah, if you take care of your phone than this case works good. It doesnt add bulk on the sides and the phone feels like normal when you hold it.

I am putting this here because i dont see one of these threads here in the GN General thread. So I'm putting one here.

---MUST CREATE A DROPBOX ACCOUNT IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE---

If you already have Dropbox installed on your Android device, you must Clear data, Force close and finally uninstall it from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Dropbox.

AUTOMATIC WAY:

1.) Download this zip file(You will notice S3. Ignore it)

2.) Make sure dropbox is gone

3.) Boot into recovery

4.) Flash the zip in the link

5.) Reboot(will say upgrading)

6.) Login, and after about 3-10 mins (30 in some cases) you’ll get an email that says you’ve got 48GB of space added.

OR

MANUAL WAY:

use root explorer or similar apps. You must extract the zip on your phone.

add this files:

---System/app/Dropbox.apk

---System/app/DropboxOOBE.apk

add this file:

---system/framework/com.dropboxpartner.jar

Change all permission to rw- r– r–

after that reboot.

Thats it!!!! Enjoy!!!:D

The 48GB will last you only for 2 years.

YOU MUST DO THE FIVE OF THESE IN ORDER TO GET YOUR FREE 48GB(applies to auto & manual):

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Eh why??? :confused:

It's not hurting anyone. It can only benefit ppl. 2GB is nothing when u first open dropbox.

Plus a lot of ppl use drop box instead of Flash Drives at my school. So I figured well this would be useful for Flash drive alternative.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nathansuchy:
Why is this topic not deleted by a mod people can commit fraud but i can post an advert for my forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Omg shut the hell up with this "why isn't this thread deleted" ****. The same thread was made a few months and everybody jumped on the bandwagon...

By the way, drop box will eventually catch on and revoke the space just like last time.. just sayin'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
Scamming dropbox is not something XDA supports. Plus as others have mentioned there's a good chance you'll just get the space revoked anyways.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joerolando2701:
Hey everyone just wondering about changing the bootsplash on the vivid. I'm familiar with many methods of changing it on the inspire and was wondering if its much different on the vivid since I'm not seeing any info out there on it. I usually convert my resized file and flash with fastboot adb just wondering if the process is the same thanks a lot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Like the HTC splash screen or the animation? If its the animation then just put a bootanimation in customise/resource and name it ATT_bootanimation.zip

If its the HTC splash...idk, I think that's built into the kernel? Could be wrong...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joerolando2701:
The splash not the animation on the inspire and EVO 3d you had to convert your resized image to a special img format then flash with adb or through bootloader inside a pd zip file if you weren't s-off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
I'll look into it...never done it...but ill give it a try later (I have an infuse incase it bricks this phone)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joerolando2701:
It appears to have worked using the nbimg tool and method found in the inspire forum only change was changing the size of the image and the size in the command line to 540x960 instead of 480x800. I'll post full instructions later when I get time for anyone interested in changing that ugly white HTC splash.

I have heard mixed things about batteries that keep the same format as the original, but this is mugen... I'm expecting quality.

I would buy a larger battery it a bigger cover existed though
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
I have it and i can say, it gives u about 20-25 % more of battery than standard. Not bad at all. And for 25 dollars, i think it 's a good price

If u know where to buy one of those batteries could u post link, plz?

:laugh:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
I have the Mugen Power Battery and i must say it is working well. The extra juice of 300 mAh gives you about 1h more of gaming time ,this means 4 hours instead of 3 hours with standard battery (maximum brightness, no overclocking). With overclocking to 1.5GHZ you will get 3 hours of game time. Battery fits good into the battery slot but it's not as easy to get it in or out of the slot as like the normal one. But thats okay. No problems with the original backcover. You can get one at their official site, just google it. It is safe and you get your package in about 2 weeks normally because it ships from Hong Kong. Or you find a shop which offers Mugen Power Batteries. Remember that the Battery for Xperia X1, Xperia X2 and Xperia X10 share the same battery size.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivenby:
I have been using mine for a few weeks and I get 5 hours of screen time and like 12 idle(heavy use)

light usage I can't get like 40 hours
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Sounds like a pretty good upgrade.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Well, my first day with the Mugen 1800. :victory:

Right now seems the battery drains much slower than before but it's somewhat difficult to put in place because it fits tighter than the original one. Even I was feared of breaking something while I was trying to put it inside, lol.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
So guys, since Mugen Power is having a Countdown discount this Christmas, can anyone make another comment on their 1800mAh batteries for the Xperia PLAY after months/weeks of using it? I might be getting one in the next few hours and I want to make sure I'm not shelling out dollars for a crap battery. I know Mugen has a good rep but reviews talk better. Please guys, say something, convince me! :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivenby:
It's the best battery I have ever seen, it constantly holds like 20% more than the stock, even after 6 months.

You need to be rooted to modify a few settings btw.

It's expensive but if you got the extra money and need more charge, then absolutely go for it.

I constantly got 5+hours of screen time
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
And by screen time you mean?

I'm thinking of buying because I think the stock battery is already losing its former juice. It already easily drains 8-10% of juice by just fiddling through SMS conversations. Jeez. Additionally, after I full charge the battery and leave it idle for about 30 minutes, the percentage usually just drops to a whopping 74%. That ain't healthy anymore, right?

I've been using genuine MSM.HK batteries before and they are the best I think. So this is basically my first time to buy and use a Mugen battery.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivenby:
Screen time means the time that the screen is on.

Normally that's just browsing and chatting etc, gaming time is obviously less but still better than stock.

That is a lot of drain though maybe some rogue app is eating your cpu
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
After months of use, i'd say that with 1800mah battery you gain about 20-25 % battery. Not bad, especially for just 24 dollars (i guess less, with these days discount)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
If there's one rogue app that keeps running in the background even it was already closed, it would be Camera360. The app is awesome I think especially with the Magic Skin that I rarely see in a camera app so I basically cannot give up the app at the moment.

Now I'm thinking twice. 20-25% more battery cap at $30? I can't really decide because I could easily get a same (or even better) quality genuine MSM.HK battery at stock mAh for a measly $6 at a local battery shop that I can get to in under 30 minutes. Jeez, I'm confused. :D :(

PS, it appears $31.95 for me, minus 7% holiday discount so that would be $29.71.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
I spent 25.44$ months ago (actually it was $ 27.36 but i got 5% discount for "i like it" their facebook page or somethning like that
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
For some heavy use the Mugen gives you more confidence with its adittional 20%. I love don't be worried about if my battery will last until I arrive home.

If you usually don't have problems with the stock battery capacity then go for a normal, cheaper replace.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordBattleBeard:
I've heard good reviews for mugen batteries but personally I wouldn't spend that much for a small upgrade.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Yeah @LordBattleBeard, I've thought of that, too.

I actually bought yesterday a genuine MSM.HK BST-41 1500mAh for my Xperia PLAY and I'd say at same mAh, it outperforms my stock battery. No more questionable drains, temps stay constantly at 25 degrees Celsius even while gaming, and playing for 1.5 to 2 hours now only slashes about 15% of juice. I say I just made myself a good deal. :D

Thanks anyway, everyone, for your insights on the Mugen 1800mAh. ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzNTypeR:
In the same kind of boat and stuck between the two. Was going to get the BST-41 but was worried by one massive thing, my current battery, not sure about everybody elses, is a Li-ion battery and the BST-41 is a Li-Polymer. Should I be worried or should I just take the plunge?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
I think it's just fine. Most handhelds today use Li-Ion alongside Li-Po, and vice versa. I honestly didn't even know that BST-41 was Li-Po until you posted it and I actually had to look at my Play's original battery to confirm.

As for their difference, here are good posts to read:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
MSM.HK batteries? It seems like it. But MSM.HK is made in China and is distributed in Hong Kong so I think there should be an online store somewhere.

It is probably the most marketed and most trusted aftermarket battery for Nokia and SE phones here in the Philippines to the point that there are even counterfeit ones being sold to consumers. Good thing MSM batteries have their own manuals that ought to teach a consumer how to spot a genuine one.

EDIT: Tried to find an international seller, can't find one. :(

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper_Max:
Can anyone speak to whether the Mugen 1800 gets hot? more or less so than stock?

I've strapped a desk dock into my car to use as a car dock, and I've noticed while docked (charging) and using GPS (with the screen on as well showing Google navigation) my phone can get hot. I'm not sure how much of this is contributed to by the stock battery though.

e-bay also lists 1800 mAh batteries by Maxpower, and you can get a 2-pack for $11 - are those just not going to be as good as Mugen? (which I see for $40 for a single battery on e-bay)

This is the Lockscreen ported from Xperia Go. Tested and works very well with my XMP on HaSa ROM based on GB 2.3.7:D

Reported to be working with GB 2.3.4 too.:D

Download links updated with android.policy.jar modded to include skip track on long press volume button. down-previous track, up-next track.

WARNING:

I'm Not Responsible if you brick your phone or your phone gets stuck in a bootloop

FEATURES:

Very similar to the lockscreen ported from Xperia S to MDPI devices on ICS

1. Message and missed call notifications

2. Ability to change wallpaper of the lockscreen

3. Lockscreen music controls (without album art)

4. Lockscreen doesn't distort when in landscape mode

BUGS:

1. Gmail notifications aren't shown on the lockscreen:(

2. Lockscreen wallpaper isn't shown in landscape mode, no music controls in landscape. All in all nothing works in Lanscape as of now, I'l see if I can do something about it. But the good news is lockscreen doesn't get distorted. So you can still unlock the screen:)
