[Galaxy Tab 2 General] AWhistler:
I just switched from an Asus Transformer Prime (TF201), a member of the same pedigree as the Nexus 7, Infinity, etc. It is a piece of junk. GPS flat doesn't work (it did in an earlier firmware version), WiFi stinks, and the glass cracks if you look at it the wrong way (mine cracked from the keyboard dock...too bad since the dock was the best feature). The digitizer and screen work, but the glass has a spider web on it. Plus, Asus support is abysmal. They used to be a fantastic company, but something changed and they are AWFUL now. Stay away.

I would only consider a Nexus 7 because Google supports it.

Anyway, I jumped all over the BestBuy GT2 7.0 deal. It seemed to be the best featured device, the knowledgeable sales guy (yes, my BestBuy had one) recommended this one or the Acer, and with the special deal there, I chose the GT2 7 for $250. I am not regretting it so far. From what I have seen in this forum, the videos I saw on Youtube, and other Google search results, I think this is a deal everyone should jump all over.

For the record...I also own an Asus Netbook (1001P), and have built PCs with Asus motherboards. I jumped on the TF201 because of ASUS' reputation of making good hardware. That was my biggest mistake, and perhaps others' as well.

I was gonna buy the nexus but I really didn't want to have them ship me one as I wanted it now lol. Found the bestbuy bundle with keyboard and usb thing and WOW I love it and it's really amazing. Even just stock with root, it's a great tablet. :)

Well it comes with a keyboard:) And a real nice one too!

Don't know if this will help anyone make up their minds. Costco in-store (not available online) has instant manufacturers rebates for the SGTs.

Offer good till 9/9/12. Saw this in Hawaii.

7.0 is $239.99 less $20 rebate = $219.99

10.1 is $379.99 less $40 rebate = $339.99

Costco also has the bundle in store for 239.99.

I got the Nexus 7 Saturday afternoon from Office Depot and was enjoying it....right up until I noticed the left side of the screen lifting. I was hoping I would be one of the lucky ones. I took it back the same evening. I went to Best Buy yesterday and got the Galaxy Tab 2 Student Edition. It's white and comes with the keyboard and USB adapter. I am very happy with this tablet. Aside from the functionality, it's very nice looking. Reminds me of the SG3.

While the Nexus 7 has a lot going for it, I can honestly say I am not sad that I had to return it because I am very happy with the GT2. Touchwiz is pretty nice. And the ext-sd is handy.

When I returned the Nexus the guy at Office Depot said the demand was so high that they ran out so Asus ramped up production of the N7 to keep up and it looks like they are keeping up, but they are definately sacrificing quality to do it.

Probably not without a lot of changes. Unless you want a paperweight.

It is possible but quite useless.

There is only one way to find out if it would boot at all though. Try it for us :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
I rememeber back in the OG Evo days we had a few ports of different versions of Sense. Was wondering if anyone is currently working on any. Asking because just got my replacement 3D from Assurion and updated to ICS & Sense 3.6. And I have to say WOW! It's like a whole different phone and it just reminds me just how much Sense 4 blows! No lag, real multitasking... I can't believe this is the same phone from a year ago. Sense 3.6 on the LTE would be perfect. Sense 4 is the worst creation ever.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
yeah port Sense 3.6 to the EVO LTE.....ummmmm right.......:cyclops:

u send me ur LTE and keep ur 3D then and well call it a deal. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
LOL! But honestly I don't really see any improvements. Looks almost the same but 3.6 runs wayyy smoother and it has "real" multitasking. Not this pitiful excuse that HTC threw into 4. I think 3.6 with our specs would be better. Used to love Sense until this version. Guess its back to Apex and Fancy widgets.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Those sense ports were sense upgrades. Nobody spends time going backwards
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Everything you're saying is just... wrong. 3.6 definitely wouldn't be smoother. 3.6 would not run any better on our specs than Sense 4.0 does.

I can't wait for someone to fix this multitasking so that people can stop *****ing about it. I'm seriously getting sick of it. If you don't like it, find a way to fix it yourself, run AOSP, or get a different phone. Complaining endlessly about how the multitasking isn't perfect isn't doing a damn thing. We know that it's a problem. But it seems like we have a handful of threads every day of people complaining about it. And guess what? It doesn't contribute one bit to fixing it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DB13:
+1 Seriously the people that complain about it daily need to just trade in their EVO's and get an SGS III or an iPhone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Well in the case of this thread, the OP was using multitasking as a reason to ask whether 3.6 ports were possible. Not just to complain. And honestly, I find it to be a valid argument if the inferior EVO 3D can run 3.6 smoother than our phones run 4.0. That makes no sense!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
It doesn't run smoother than 4.0 in our phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yamaford:
Smoother doesn't just mean flicking the screen back and fourth and watching the pretty animations ...smooth to me means an app behaving like it was meant to, I.e. only having to open it one time . Oh there I go *****ing about the stock product I paid good money for not working as advertised. Thank you CMX team for pulling HTCs slack. Hey HTC, how about send them what they need to fix the camera and my phone will be perfect:)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
I said this before in another thread in the Q&A section that suggested the same thing. It would be like buying a PC right now with Windows 7 and eligible for a FREE upgrade to Windows 8 when it releases, but instead wiping it out completely and putting Vista on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Have you actually played around with a updated 3D running 3.6 & ICS? Didn't think so. I installed the same apps on both phones & have been testing it out for the past few hours & I can say without a doubt that the 3D is wayyyy smother than the LTE running 4. Not just flicking the screen but opening apps and all around performance.

I bought a Vista computer soon as it was released and was back on XP within a couple days? Why? Because at that time XP worked wayyyy better than Vista. Your analogy isn't right. Just because something is a upgrade doesn't mean it works better. Now eventually they got the bugs worked out of Vista and it was better but not in the begining. Which is what I am seeing with Sense 4 when compared with 3.6.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
Sense 3.0->3.6->4.0 is not analogous with Windows XP->Vista->7.... Just saying, who would go back to 3.0 from 3.6?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
That's why I didn't use Vista to XP as an example. If you have brand new computer right now with Windows 7 on it, and you're getting a free upgrade to Windows 8 when it releases (knowing nothing about problems that may occur), would you really take the computer and run VISTA of all operating systems? No, I wouldn't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Why isnt it? Each was an upgrade from a previous version. I don't know who would go back to 3.0 from 3.6 but I know a whole lot of people who went back to XP from Vista. The bottom line is "IMO" 3.6 runs better on the 3D than our LTE runs 4.0 Not too mention I don't see what if any real improvements 4 brought to table over 3.6. If anything it screwed stuff up. If it was possible I for one would hop back to 3.6 in a flash. You can keep this ram hogging, broken multitasking 4 version.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DB13:
Someone close this thread because it's really going no where...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Well then, smooth to you means differently to what smooth actually means.

And it's not that it's wrong to complain about something that isn't perfect about a phone. But we know that it's a problem. That doesn't mean we have to like it. That doesn't mean that it isn't a bad thing. But complaining about it endlessly serves absolutely no purpose.

"Not working as advertised" is also a misguided statement, as it was never advertised that the phone would be completely perfect and devoid of software errors that can presumably be fixed.

It's the complaining that has to stop. Every single member of this forum is aware of the multitasking issue. It's been discussed to hell and back. It's time to acknowledge that we're all aware of this and either try to find a way to fix it or just shut up about it.

And I find it humorous how 9 out of 10 people here rant and rave about how they don't need stock and the developers here are better than HTC and so on and so forth but they'll still complain about problems that a stock phone has. You have different ways of dealing with this problem and you have the tools to prevent this from happening (for example, AOSP) and yet you still complain. And again, that solves nothing.

Yeah, I have. And I'm saying that you are wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
I would be a pretty penny that someone on either this site or on Craigslist is willing to trade you an EVO 3D for your EVO 4G LTE if you want to go that route. The fact of the matter is, the developers we have probably aren't going to waste a lot of time (that, in all fairness, will be required) trying to develop a downgraded version of Sense for this phone. Unless you can convince one of the developers that it's a good idea, or pay him/her to make this request possible, you'll need to learn to code it yourself and make it work. The majority of this board is anticipating Android 4.1 with whatever new perks HTC throws in when that update arrives, not about adding a last-gen overlay to a next-gen device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Fair enough. That was the original point of the post anyway. Seeing if it was possible to port another version of Sense. Then everyone got up in arms like they personally coded Sense 4 and was somehow offended because it is extremely flawed. Oh and if the HTC perks are anything like what we got with ICS on this phone I wouldn't hold my breath.

There is a sense 4.1 port coming over on mikmik
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
This should be interesting. See if Sense 4.1 actually helps us out on stock ROMs. I'm guessing it won't since it's a port.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
There's been a lot of good reports about Sense 4.1 increasing the overall performance of the One X. I would hope it does the same for the EVO 4G LTE, either ported or official.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kable:
I recentlly attempted to update my P6800 from ICS LQ1 to LQ2 via Mobile Odin.

The result was a tablet that would only boot as far as the Samsung Logo and boot chime and would hang there.

Many attempts were made to clear caches, reset data via both stock recovery and CWM versions 5 .5 and even 6 with no change.

Tried using PC Odin to go back to LQ1 and has the same exact results. suspected an error in a partition and used a stock p6800 .pit along with stock LQ1 .tar and still have same problem. Cm9 and 10 gives same results.

However I am able to install stock Honeycomb via PC Odin which seems to work fine except CWM backup is unable to restore a backup and hangs just after starting.

I still suspect a bad partition somewhe but dont see a way of verifying this. Have read many posts both here and in the Galaxy Note forum but none have solution that has worked for me.

Does anyone know if the .pit file actually recreates your partitions? Or does someone have instructions on how I can manually do this via adb shell? Specifically the cache, data and system partitins.

Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrix Ashburn:
Try this.

- In HC use Locerra' CWM v5.x

In recovery:

- Clear cache.

- Dalvik.

- Data reset.

- Flash rom: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/showthread.php?p=223379

- Fix permission.

- Reboot.

If stuck after reboot...boot to cwm recovery again.

- Full wipe.

- Reboot and wait a while.

Hope it help and keep us posted ;)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorbakun:
I faced your situation before, here's what you should do

1 Install official HC 3.2 using PC odin

2 boot in to HC stock recovery

3 factory reset / Data & Cache wipe

4 do full boot into HC till you see your desktop

5 use your PC odin or Mobile odin pro to Install ICS over HC

6 Now you should be good to go.

Note if you can successfully boot into HC then your paritions are good, dont mess with them.

This has been tried several times with the same results each time. Boot loops.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletheus:
this is the EXACT problem i was having. here's what i did to fix it*:

disclaimer: i am waiting for HC filefactory slow-*ss download to take another F*CKING hour.... so i have yet to FULLY recover my tab... BUT i think i'm onto something.

i COULD get a full flash from odin with no hanging up...then i corrupted my /data and /system partition... don't ask me how: i knew to stay away from wiping with 3e stock ICS recovery, i used cwm 5.8.1 temporary zip that i flashed from stock recovery, IT messed up everything.... then i started trying to follow androguide.fr's revive from superbrick guide. (will post link later)

after days and days and DAYS of frustration trying to remove and remake /data and /system, /cache eventually corrupted. i was ready to blow my brains out.... just on a whim, without having read any of this stuff, i:

1) flashed the original pit file,

2) flashed ATO-ICS firmware

3) flashed CWM 6.0.1.1

4) wiped /data /factory /dalvik SUCCESSFULLY!!!!

5)....after wiping, e2fsck checking and getting clean partitions with every ICS CM9/10 rom i could find, and STILL getting stuck on the boot animation...

i finally read in a gNote forum that people with this problem were flashing back to GB (original firmware for the Note) and solving their problem, then they could go back to ICS... if you can't i'm SORRY!!! but i'm even just trying to get ANYTHING to boot at this point. YOU'RE POST GIVES ME HOPE!!!!

so try: flashing the original pit file, flash cwm 6.0.1.1, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, reboot and JUST do the e2fsck section of the NOOB friendly guide to recovering your tab from superbrick. --will post link later. that should at LEAST get rid of the corrupt filesystem. e2fsck every partition that you were having trouble with.

So I have been trying loads of ways to have a high amount of free RAM (for the Play). I've read comments from people who seem to mostly have 200MB+ free. But looking at my list of running services, I notice that Facebook uses a huge amount of RAM, ranging from 40MB - 60MB. So my question is, to those people who consistently have high amounts of RAM, do you have Facebook uninstalled?

I am on Stock ROM, and would like to keep it that way, I have rooted and removed all the bloatware I possibly could. But my free RAM hasn't really changed much. Ranging from 160MB - 220MB. (I only seem to get 220MB after exiting games like FIFA 12 and Dead Trigger)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badboynab:
AOKP JB OR CyanogenMod 10

WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
I use CM9 constantly for stability till CM10 is more stable though AOKP 4.0.4 I used that for more than a month and really liked the features so most of the time for stability I pick CM and for more (on board/stock) features I pick AOKP. Playing around with AOKP 4.1.1 it was unstable at the time but it should have gotten better but all the features that I missed and were missing from CM10 were there though CM10's build was a little more stable than AOKP 4.1.1.

Since they're both not 100% RC/stable beta then it all comes down to who gets better stability support first so you have to test them yourself and most of the great devs on our forums are keeping us up to date from the actual source. Remember more people work on CM than AOKP but like what AOKP stands for its a "Kang" of the features you like. Personally if AOKP has the stability as CM has then I would stick to AOKP.

You would just have to test it yourself or else it will be another this vs this thread and it will go on non stop. I flash a lot of things on my phone to keep testing which one I like CM9 -> CM10 -> AOKP 4.1.1 -> CM10 -> CM9

I think CM10 right now is smooth and nice, AOKP 4.1.1 is getting there but I always go back to CM9 when I need important calls or I am driving and using GPS because you don't want a random reboot to happen.

Overall I would just do a nandroid backup and flash away, if anything messes up then revert back. :good:

I have a Vibrant that has a KB5 modem, Glitch 1.3.1 Kernel, and CM-7 (2.3.7) stable. After a fresh install of CM7, my bluetooth won't pair (or find for that matter) any devices. I have checked with another phone and the paired to devices work fine. Everything else works great. Good mobile data , wifi, and phone reception. Just the bluetooth doesn't seem to be picking up anything. It is possible I might have restored something from another rom accidentally, but I froze what I thought might be an issue as well as was very careful (or at least I thought I was) on the restores.
