Simple

'

Really simple answer: new technology. Why is it that computers from 1980 which had 33mhz processors and 1.5KB of ram are 6x more expensive than the laptop I just got with a quad core i7. Phone technology is newer, and therefore will cost more, until they invent new ways to produce them cheaper
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
one of them is kinda a touchscreen, i think. also have to pack the processor more tightly into the screen, rather than in some keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] obscuresword:
Agree with Theonew. Think about it there are far more notebooks running windows than people using tablets. This means that it is going to be much easier to make a profit on a windows notebook, than on a tablet. Remember tablets use relatively newer technology than what notebooks use so the cost to manufacturer goes up. Companies are always look for a way to make a profit, and cut cost to reach that goal, and with tech the first thing they look at is downgrading the specs. Android just is no where near as popular as windows (since 90% of the worlds computers are running some form of it) so those who create windows notebooks can afford to but better specs in their machines because there's a much higher demand for it. It is always about supply and demand, cutting cost, and getting the biggest profit margin when selling products
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
Sorry, but this is all BS.

If there's more demand for something, the price goes up, not down. Manufactures would raise prices as much as they can in order to maximize their profit.

In particular, they wouldn't just add more power out of gratefulness to the consumer. Why erode into your profits when you don't need to?

If your story was an accurate portrayal, then Windows machines would actually be more expensive than Android, for the same power. Evidently the opposite is the case.

(In fact, it is supply and demand, but in this case, due to more expensive technologies, the supply is weaker for the tablets. This is what drives the relatively high costs. It's definitely not demand for the tablets that are driving it.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shravanm18:
I am pretty new to flashing and rooting android phones. I have a GNex 4.1.1 JB Stock ROM. It was stuck in a boot loop somehow and I wasn't able to fix it by factory reset. Someone told me to unlock and root the phone to install a new stock ROM.

I unlocked using the Wuz toolkit. But rooting wasnt possible because I couldnt push files through ADB. Then I tried doing an ODIN flash using this method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827685). But I got stuck at NAND Write Start.

Now I have a Phone <-> Yellow Triangle with Exclamation <-> Computer. Which I believe is download mode for Samsung.

Then I tried an OMAP Flash using this method (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1465412.html). I was successful installing the OMAP drivers and running the bat file. However I am still have the phone/yellow/triangle/Computer logo on my screen.

I tried to do an ODIN flash again but still stuck at NAND Write Start.

I already tried to do this:

1.) Repartiion using the PIT file [ODIN]

2.) Then OMAP flash

3.) Then Flash PDA file using ODIN.

I also tried it by swapping steps 1 & 2 but no progress.Can someone tell me the exact sequence of steps or any advice what to do now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
First of all, let me list your mistakes before I help you out:

Mistake #1: You used a toolkit. By doing so, you skipped over the entire learning part of unlocking and flashing your device, so you have no idea what went wrong or what you did.

Mistake #2: You used Odin when you didn't have to. You can mess up your device with Odin, while it is next to impossible to do so using fastboot. We have a Nexus device, i.e. a device with an unlockable bootloader and the ability to use fastboot. In my opinion, Odin should only be used as a last resort.

Mistake #3: You did not read enough before you decided to fix your bootloop. There are a bunch of stickies in the General and Q&A sections. Did you read any of them?

Now, on to fixing your issue.

Go to the Dev section and find the IMM76D Odin file in a thread started by Chainfire.

Follow the instructions in that thread to flash the complete package. Odin should be able to flash your device even though you are on the screen you currently see. Do not use a JB Odin package, use an ICS package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shravanm18:
I read a few articles and i know it wasnt enough. I posted a thread on android central and a senior wrote down some steps and i followed that. But going for odin and omap was totally my experiment.

I links to the imm76d image do not work any more. File not found error. There were no other sources i could find. Do you have another link to the file?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I can't remember if I have them on my PC (I'm not near it at the moment) -- if i do, i will upload them tomorrow. But in any case, you should be able to find links somewhere via a Google search, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swimdude1120:
Worse comes to worse I have the Odin files too if you guys need them. I've used so many times to save my ass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I have my stock rooted files in a twrp backup. I'm unclear how that works they Odin but I'll pm you the dropbox link.

EDIT guess it would be if great importance to know if you are Sprint or not..

And i meant to quote the guy needing them. Oops
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I just looked at the thread I was referring to earlier, and someone already had posted another link to the files. The OP did not read the entire thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Isn't that what got him into this in first place?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
He cannot load a recovery if he has no fastboot access. His only option now is Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
at least Odin is easy enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shravanm18:
I downloaded the image and tried an odin flash but seems to be stuck at nand write start. I also see that this process does not have a pit to repartition. I had previously tried to re partition it using the pit file given in the jb stock rom odin image. Can i use the same one here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You shouldn't need the .pit file. That's what probably messed things up in the first place.

If Odin is not working, I guess you can try Omap flash and then Odin. Note that if you try omap flash, and then Odin still doesn't work, I don't think you have any other option besides sending it in for repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shravanm18:
I tried the OMAP Flash. It executes perfectly in the command window but my phone still shows the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow excalmation. After that I tried ODIN flash the IMM76D tar file but I am still stuck at NAND Write flash. What I want to know is that what are the reason for getting stuck at NAND write flash and what should have happened to my phone after OMAP Flash was complete?

Furthermore I was also thinking if using a USB jig would help me get back into fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
After OMAP Flash, you should still see the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow exclamation, but now Odin should have worked. Not sure why it gets stuck on NAND write flash. Maybe try un-checking the F. Reset Time option. Someone about a week ago said that it worked for him.

Bored of all the swiping games you ever played?! Here you are one of the most interesting brain challenging game for you!

The main objective of the game is to make the blocks disappear by aligning three or more blocks of the same pattern together either horizontally or vertically in the limited number of moves!

Swap blocks to align three or more of the same color to finish each level with a predetermined number of moves.

Blocks can only be moved horizontally, not vertically.

The white blocks can be moved, but not disappear.

I bought a brand new 64gb flash drive to use with my nexus 7 but while it works fine initially in windows it then shows up on the n7 as 'damaged usb stick'. Then when i plug it back in pc it requests reformatting.

I have successfully been using a 4gb flash drive on the n7 with stickmount though.

So it it possible my brand new flash drive is corrupt or are there limitations with n7 and stick mount that make it very 'hit and miss'?

Anyone else had similar issues?

I want to know if anyone has managed to alter the embedded SIMs such as those found on the Sprint LTE phones.

I would think that Sprint would be able to do it for example when they refurbish phones for replacements.

Are there hacker tools for this and is this legal?

Been reading awhile and can't get the simple answer I'm looking for. Just flashed Mosaic9 and I need to speed it up. I already have voodoo installed but disabled. Will Voodoo even work with Mosaic? Can I just enable and reboot or do I need another speed mod kernel? If so where can I find it? I'd like to avoid Odin if possible and just find a zip to apply. Thanks.

Hi

I am trying to play around with making my own android driver (just basic things at the moment) but cannot figure out how to compile them. Before trying to write my own driver i would like to compile one of the included ones (in this case its one of the gadget drivers for mass storage). I cannot work out what i need to add where to make it compile. I have compiled the kernel successfully.

What do i need to change so that when i type make modules it will compile the drivers i want into a .ko file (at the moment this would be the gadget driver but in the future it would be my own drivers)?.

Thanks for your help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] darcpyro:

Worked out to compile the built in modules i just needed to fun make modules. As far as a custom module, make a Makefile as outlined in

Thanks for the video. Would like to see how well the handwriting recognition works whenever you've got some more time.

A couple of minor points about the video though - there seems to a lot of background noise all throughout the video. The lighting seems to be quite dim as well. But overall, a nice job. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] denniegst:
Write a full page of note with equations and what not, please.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] floiancu:
As per request I've put together a video for the handwriting recognition. It works very well, but for now there's only support for English.

http://youtu.be/hg0iN2B2yN4
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Alabama978:
Pretty impressive.

What happens if you write a sentence that is two lines long, does it still recognise it all and show it as a long sentence of text?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] floiancu:
Before I filmed I managed to write a paragraph (3-4 lines) at once, but afterwardsI don't know why I couldn't anymore... you could write a lot smaller than I did and a lot more text fits in.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] floiancu:
I just tried it again and the thing is you can write as much as you want as long as it's a single sentence, because it not only recognizes the writing, but also tries to understand the meaning to be as precise as possible.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
Did you know that there is a better way of utilising handwriting recognition? Use the Samsung Keyboard and keep your s pen on the keyboard icon then slide and select the T icon that has a pen symbol neat to it,the icon is located to the left of the space bar. You will now get a handwriting panel where you can start writing, what you write in this panel is converted to text.

To make things even simpler, go to the settings menu which is also located to the left of the space bar and choose the 'Handwriting' option then select "complete recognition" - Now you will be able to write Long sentences in the handwriting panel and also make corrections on the fly before you commit the writing to the notepad. You can also use gestures to add spaces, insert text etc

It will be good if you can make a video of this type of input as it really shows the capabilities of how notes can be taken very quickly and effectively.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] floiancu:
Infrared port demo - http://youtu.be/Ux63IVTSod8 . You can use your Note 10.1 as an remote control with the preinstalled Peel Smart Remote app. It supports a wide variety of brands and product types and if a certain control doesn't work you can customize the code.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] floiancu:
I made another video showing the handwriting recognition and the formula match and the shape match. I also took on the advice from HasC (thank you very much!) and showed how you can use handwriting as an input anywhere instead of the keyboard.

In my opinion the formula match works incredibly well! It recognizes all sorts of mathematical symbols and as an engineering student, I'll surely use that a lot! :)

Does Google own handwriting works ? View attachment 1271807

Screen shoot from galaxy S2 stock browser.

If yes to what extent ?

tapatalk سے لکھا گیا
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
Google's own one does work however it is not as smooth as the Note. It is also quite slow compared to the Notes pen input and this functionality will be more useful to those who do not own a Note and would like an alternative input method.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] drraptor:
Thanks, for the quick response.

One more question, does the remote work with other appliances such as air conditioner A/c ?

How is the battery life with and without WiFi.

tapatalk سے لکھا گیا
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] floiancu:
As HasC replied, the Google handwriting input works slower because it's online, but it's perfectly compatible with the S Pen.

The remote app (Peel Smart Remote) only works for multimedia devices, but the infrared port is universal. If there are apps in the Play Store designed for A/Cs and so on, it should work just fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
Not sure about the A/c control, The remote app allows you to pick from a number of manufactures or codes for use on televisions.

The battery life is phenomenal but depends on what you use the tab for. Videos,wifi direct etc. will consume the battery far quicker. Yesterday I was practically on the tablet the whole day browsing with the wifi on continuously and by the evening, I had about 47% juice left. The tablet was running since charging for 17 hours and the screen percentage according to the stats was at 82%.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] drraptor:
For what was the screen time. Can you use a battery indicator and post the screen shots of the usage. Long battery time without WiFi means can be used as a paper notebook replacement.

So handwriting recognition doesn't work in each and every app ?

I just saw the verge review, it confirmed why he is know as Apple fanboy. http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/8/15/3244180/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review-video

in his review s-pen tool but laggy when using along with a browser window open. Does your do the same ?

He was also writing at quite unusual angles, does it works at such angles?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
My screen time was for heavy browsing I have attached a screenshot to demonstrate,

The verge review is a pile of ****, The proof are the videos on this thread. The 0P has demonstrated by intentionally writing badly to show the accuracy of the recognition. I have tried to write at some strange angles when writing this post and the recognition is acceptable bearing in mind people should not be writing at unusual angles when supposedly carrying out professional reviews.

With reference to multitasking on two screens, you need to select the app before trying to use it,this only takes a second to do and activates the app. Even on Windows applications, you need to click on or switch to the application before use , on the Verge review he was just sliding his finger up and down between the two apps and saying it lags, who in the real world will multitask in this manner ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] drraptor:
Thanks but I was looking somethinglike this ? View attachment 1272060

I don't think even, iPad 3 do true multitasking.

As for handwriting most people won't write at strange or unusual angles while taking notes or in other usual situations.

I wanted to see a preview of this apps, since i tried the Snote on Bestbuy, and its kind of slow, for my speed sketching. wanted to use Adobe Ideas Which is a vector app, but for some reason, the US version doesn't have Adobe Ideas... or am i wrong? is it possible to create a video, using sketchbook pro, and markers? i just want to see the speed, and "tablet" view of each of this apps.

Also, dumb question possibly, but how's the GPS on the Wifi version? I'm also wanting to use it as a Garmin, but with predownloaded maps already in it. :eek:
