I don't think people appreciate how challenging it will be to run full MS Office applications on a 10 inch screen. Most databases and spreadsheet businesses use have been created with much more real estate in mind. I have a triple monitor setup in my office and often even that isn't enough to handle having my database, a browser, 2 word docs and a spreadsheet running.

Can you imagine how small text will be on a 10 inch HD screen if you shrink down an app designed to work on a 15 inch screen? You'll go blind.

If Surface RT sells for $200 as the rumors go it will be a home run smash. But MS will lose hundreds on every tablet they sell. You simply cannot build a 10 inch tablet with a keyboard and fast CPU for under $200. They barely make money on the Nexus 7 and that thing is tiny.

If Surface RT sells in the $450 to $550 range, it is competing with a non HD screen against the iPad3 and with no pen against the Note 10.1. The only thing it offers is Windows with a limited version of Office that cannot be fully appreciated on a 10 inch screen.

It will be product in between. Unless MS can sell it at a huge loss, the Surface although impressive will be a fail.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jedah:
I totally agree with this. My current desktop setup is my laptop connected to a keyboard, mouse (or Intuos), and a large @$$ monitor. The perfect setup for me would've been a Windows 8 tablet w/ Wacom support that docked to a keyboard and had USB ports (or a dock), HDMI (or plane monitor) outs, and a ton of storage (perhaps one of those hybrid ssd/hdd hard drives), while not breaking compatibility with Photoshop or any of my other apps (I'm a bit skeptical how well Win8 will support legacy apps). Those are alot of things to get right, and I was getting tired of waiting and hoping. So, I went w/ the GN10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Think about this. The Surface Pro is targeting business users. Many of those users will be working for large corporations which have designed most of their forms and documents to work on 15 inch non HD screens. These same forms and documents will be almost impossible to read on a 10 inch HD screen. We are talking about 4 pt font sizes here.

Do you think large corporations are going to redesign their legacy forms just to work on the Surface Pro? No they won't. This means corporations will not be buying the Surface Pro for their people. The exception would be employees who must have a pen. If not there is NO reason for a corporation to pay ultrabook prices for a device which cannot correctly display their legacy forms. No. Reason.

So that pretty much kills the Fortune 1000 space for the Surface Pro.

How about college students and young people who want a tablet to write on? Well these students will.be getting all the Office productivity they need from Android Emulators. They don't need to spend $900 for a device that they can get for $500 and perform the kind for work they need performed.

So no Fortune 1000 and no college students.

So the question is, WHO is going to buy the Surface Pro? The ONLY real benefit of Windows over Android is access to full MS Office but the tiny screen makes MS Office all but unusable to users working with legacy forms designed for 15 inch non HD laptops. The "Office Advantage" just went up on smoke.

The Windows Surface will be a device without a country. No niche that it fills where it blows the competition away. The ONLY way Surface RT sells is if they can do it for $200 to $400. Any higher and no. It doesn't have an HD screen or a pen. It can't compete at $500.

** BarryH thank you for proving my point. Imagine your face 2 feet from that form as your type. Now that is just Excel and Word which can be easily resized. How about database forms whose sizes are hard coded?

At the $500 price point there is nothing now or in the near future which can compete with the SGN10.1 if you desire pen input.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stuartv:
Who, in their right mind, thinks the Surface Pro is intended to be a desktop replacement?!?! It's a TABLET. With a digitizer (like the Note - which has an even smaller screen). And a keyboard option (like the Transformer - which also has a smaller screen). It will be for doing everything you can do with a Note, and everything you can do with a Transformer, all in one. Plus, you can do even more than either of those because it's full-blown Windows. I definitely don't see how the statement "an app designed to work on a 15 screen" makes any sense or has any relevance. Windows lets you adjust font sizes, etc., to accomodate whatever size screen and whatever vision requirements the user has. I don't see MS going backwards on this with Win8. People are using their 10.1" tablets for editing Word docs and Excel spreadsheets. The Surface should be just as good or better for those same things.

What is WITH you and bashing the Surface? NOBODY is saying they're going to build a 10 inch tablet with a keyboard and sell it for under $200. Some people are saying that they MIGHT sell a 10 inch tablet for $200. But that's not with a keyboard. If the TF's keyboard price ($150?) is any guide, it's pretty obvious that they're not going to sell a tablet AND a keyboard together for $200.

So, your comment about selling it at a "huge" loss or it will be a fail is pure rubbish. It's just bashing the Surface for the (apparent) purpose of convincing people they should buy a Note now, instead of at least waiting to see what the RT price actually is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
So Stuart, imagine you are a businessperson. You have a choice. Do I buy an ultrabook that can display my company's legacy forms at full size (btw, database forms cannot be resized) or do I buy a Surface Pro that can't?

Stop being a cheerleader and think for a second. Most companies have survived a long time without pen input. They won't make big changes just to have it now.

Windows 8 will be a failure. The desktop solution is a joke and the mobile version won't get traction either.

Think about it man. Why the heck does MS office need a touchscreen at all? It is designed for a keyboard and mouse. So if i don't need a touchscreen why pay an ultrabook price for a small screen?

MS Surface will fail unless they can sell it at a loss. Microsoft doesn't get it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Instead of fighting, here's the link to the Samsung Unpacked event where the Note 2's being introduced live. It'll have JB so we can see what to expect when the Note 10.1 gets it. The event starts in five minutes.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Ok Stuart let's agree to disagree. I say Surface will be a fail you say it won't we''ll find out soon enough. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stuartv:
I have NO DOUBT whatsoever that, at some point in the future, you will be able to point at something about the Surface/Pro and use that as your justification for saying it is "a fail".

:D

Stuart I enjoyed the debate. We'll see.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
If Lenovo knew as much as they think they do, then their Android ThinkPad Tablet wouldn't be such a pos. I should know, sadly, I own one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Vostok 7:
I was dead set on a Thinkpad Tablet before I found out about the Note 10.1. I'm a huge Lenovo fan and it was right up my alley, but the Note is definitely better by far. The only thing really missing is the Lenovo aesthetics.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Yeah, I went all out on my TPT. It was my dream machine. It sits in ruins, as we speak, waiting to go for warranty repairs.

GPS never worked

Camera shots always unsharp

Speaker is shameful and located poorly

Micro USB failed - most fail quickly

Software updates are so slow as to be ridiculous

Power button and volume buttons fail quickly due to poor design/securing

One of my hardware buttons fell off - back button - while on a flight, surrounded by iPads. Yeah, that felt great.

I know there's more, but I'm too tired to think of them all. I am so very OVER the ThinkPad and Lenovo.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Vostok 7:
Good to know I dodged a bullet then :D

The other one I almost bought was a first gen Transformer, I've heard those have had their fair share of issues as well.

This GNote 10.1 is my first foray in to an Android tablet (not Android in general, I've had an Android phone and an iPhone now for several years, and previously had a Nokia N770 MAEMO internet tablet). Coming from an iPad the only thing that hasn't blown all my expectations out of the water is the materials quality... Would have preferred at least a little bit of metal. But oh well, everything else is fantastic so far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Man, you dodged a HUGE bullet. This thing smokes next to the ThinkPad, with none of the issues. I didn't know what a great Android tablet was until I got my GNote.

A few things that Lenovo did right -

GG and IPS

Durability - it's a BEAST, and you can't kill it

Tablet backing - soft rubber so easier to grip. I already dropped my Sammy. :mad:

Rubberized plastic, it looks like. Might be a bit more durable than wood.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I've been on that kickstarter page since launch but last communication with them, I asked about smart covers. They said they wanted to keep the case simple as possible and not include it.

Other than that, I do agree, they resemble the treegloo/portenzo/dodo/reauthored cases, just without a lot of customization.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iElvis:
Oh. That's a negative. Too bad.

[HTC EVO 3D] omgallthenamesaretaken:
Hi, folks - longtime lurker here.

I'm trying to revert to the stock ROM and see if the Sprint official rom resolves some call/text issues I'm having (don't think it will but next step will be to take it to sprint to get them to fix it, so I'd have to revert anyway).

I'm trying to follow the stickied "return to stock" thread, but the download for the RUU seems to be broken. Anyone have a working link for RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00 .121, or know of another RUU that'll work with the same instructions?
[HTC EVO 3D] omgallthenamesaretaken:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newskate9:
Seems many having various wifi issues and also seems not a lot of fixes. So here goes.

Running EOS JB, and Morfic kernal. I want the wifi to shut down when ever I close my case / or when the screen goes blank (i.e. sleep). I'm sure there a various levels of sleep, but read on:

Setting in advanced to shut wifi down when sleeping, it does. BUT, it wakes up every few minutes. This has to kill the battery. I've turned off every updating I can find but that does not help. When it is asleep, it should stay asleep!

I installed Llama - I use this on my Maxx with perfection. I set the advanced settings wifi to stay on always - then set up Llama to turn it off when screen goes blank, and then back on again when screen comes on. Works perfectly! No through the night updates. BUT - when I'm USING the device, I'll lose wifi completely for no apparent reason!!! I look at Llama event log, no entries there. It is just shutting off. I have to cycle the toggle off then on again for it to restart.

So I removed Llama - it's back to "working" but still updating constantly.

Any one have any ideas on how to control this beast?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froggy666uk:
Can llama put your tab in airplane mode instead of switching WiFi off? Might be worth a try if so. I use tasker to do a very similar thing...puts tab in airplane mode 2 mins after screen off and cancels it on screen unlock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newskate9:
that is another option I hadn't thought of. I've gone into advanced settings and told the wifi to stay on ALWAYS - and I'm using Llama/screen to see if works. So far so good. The problem I'm trying to solve now it seems, is keeping it on when awake. I like the airplane option an an alternative. I'll update as I go along here.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] juventino101:
Alright. I've searched the forums for 4 hours trying to find different answers to my questions and I haven't had success in all. So, in case I'm that much of an idiot for asking a question that's been answered 1000 times, I'll be happy if you point me in the right direction instead of "politely" asking me to use the search button ;).

My GF bought an Ace which we were unable to root until we stumbled across the fact the 5830M differs from other models in some ways. We finally got it done yesterday with the help of this thread (I should add the her sole intention of rooting the phone was to expand her Ace's internal memory to be able to install more apps). and we are supposed to partion her SD card (32GB) today. However, after going through so many threads, and deciding CWM will do the partition, we are now unsure about wether we should switch ROM's or keep stock.

So, my question is: Is there any disadvantage of having a rooted phone with its stock ROM? Or better yet: Is there a reason as to why I

SHOULD

change ROM's?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] GermainZ:
Hey there,

At this time, there are 3 custom ROMs that are truly different: Razodroid, Retribution ROM and the rest of the deodexed ROMs (2 or 3, I believe).

Let's take each on its own:

Razodroid offers the following:

In other words, it will bring you a slight performance boost, more juice, a different look and some (currently buggy/not so smooth) new features such as swipe to clear or 14 toggles.

Retribution ROM has less features. It's mostly about performance, but it's still in a beta stage, so there's more to come:

Both of these ROMs come along with Rafael's kernel, which adds support to init.d, iptables and cpu governors, among other features. They're useful for running scripts at boot, using firewalls (e.g. DroidWall) and changing the phone's governor (as the name suggests).

Last comes the deodexed ROMs that have no additional features. As any deodexed ROM, they remove odex files, giving you some extra internal space (at the cost of a slight performance hit) and allow easier theming, allowing you to get, for example, an ICS (deodexed) theme for the S5830I (it's made by rajrocks, search for it if you're interested).

To sum it up, there are no disadvantages of having a rooted phone with the stock ROM. Actually, you have almost no reason to get a custom ROM unless you're interested in the new features they bring, especially that performance/battery tweaks can be applied using scripts or manually without needing a custom ROM, if you know what you're doing.

EDIT: You should however consider getting Rafael's latest kernel for the reasons mentioned above: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818830
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] juventino101:
Very detailed answer. Thanks!

TBH, I think we'll just keep the current ROM (if it was up to me, I'd be tweaking the hell out of the phone) seeing that it isn't really necessary. If we do, we'll be picking option # 1.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] jraquino:
The only disadvantage of installing a custom rom (i think) is the bigger chance of losing your phone's warranty :p

Will those ROMS also work on s5839i?
