[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkee24:
I feel like I can chime in since I have owned a PlayBook since its release.

The PlayBook has a great OS but it is sluggish at times. Flash is great but the browser crashes a lot. They have tons of apps but it is not the Top Prime apps that iOS and Android has. I do love the swiping of the bezel. I found that to be such a great feature. Allows you to really use the entire screen without compromise. RIM angers me because they promise so much but take months to deliver. I did enjoy the whole supporting .apk and allowing Android apps because that worked well on a good amount of apps but just not natively the way android handles it obviously.

I just bought a Nexus 7 this past Friday and it blows away everything that the PlayBook can do. I do still finding myself swiping at the Nexus bezel and its not working lol. Android and its ecosystem is just far superior. The community is strong and not to be messed with.

I used to own a Touchpad, I own a PlayBook, I own a BlackBerry Torch, I own an iOS5 device and now my first Android, Nexus 7.

Nexus 7 and Android has won me over in a matter of a few days.

But the playbook is old and has a ****ty os.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deckard79:
I prefer the Blackberry OS to anything Android thus far.

It's better designed.

Another user mentioned the browser crashing on the Blackberry - this hasn't happened to me once yet.

Blackberry also has HDMI out, which I forgot to mention.

Anyway, this wasn't intended to turn into a competition. If you love your tablet, great, whatever it is. But, as someone else mentioned, there's a lot of nonsense about the Blackberry on here and the choice between that and the Nexus is by no means clear cut. It depends on your own priorities.

129 pounds for a 64GB Playbook is an absolute steal.

I have some questions on my Nexus 7.

Is there a rear camera for taking pictures and videos?

Where is the HDMI port?

How can I get it in landscape mode on main screens?

Any way to improve battery life?

The GPS seems fast and responsive which is nice.

ummm you obviously have an att s3 it says i747 in your pic. so why would it be a problem for you to flash a att rom? lol

i don't get the point of your post..

it says that because hes running an at&t rom

Yeah I knew it would change my build prop, but had no idea the kernel would work. The Rom is sweet and it is listed at the bottom of the pic(not sure how to spell it) Love the options this might open up.

Need Help Doing this.

I am new to this Android world. I came from AppleLand. I got T-mobile branded Galaxy S3 witch is SIM unlocked and currently using it with AT&T. I would like to flash AT&T rom on this t-mo Galaxy S3. I have no clue where to start and how to do it. I read on this forum that flash counter is may be a problem if I flash non stock ROM. My question is

1. Is it possible to flash ATT rom on T-Mo galaxy S3?

2. That counter thing is going to be a problem?

3. Is my phone has to be ROOTED first?

4. All AT&T apps will work?

5. If there is any problem, Can I go back to T-Mobile rom?

Thanks.

My question to you is what for you do before flashing or did you just do the regular wipe cache and data factory reset? Also what recovery are you using?? Im on TWRP will that be an issue or should I go back to clockwork??

Just an update, I have flashed a working Sprint Rom, I had to edit the apn before flashing(if you don't know how to and what this is, don't do it you will not have data) but the Rom runs great.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DaMagicTicket:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Venal_System:
The easiest thing to do with apns is to use es file explorer and go into your tmo roms. Open "system", then "etc", find and copy the "apns-conf.xml". Replace in your sprint or at&t rom and flash as normal. Some att roms may have the correct file but it is quick and painless to do. Also you can change the name of your device in the "build.prop" in the "system" folder change the "ro.product.model" to SGH-T999. All can be done on your phone through ES file explorer. Be careful and I am in no way responsible for bricks or paper weights.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boredman:
I must be doing something wrong here, please help, here is my step trying to flash the T999 with i747 stock ROM

1 -- Rooted T999

2 -- Download i747 stock ROM from SamMobile Firmware Page

3 -- put T999 into download mode

3 -- use Odin, try to program it with PDA

When Odin starts flashing, it failed right away.

So what tool did you use to flash the ATT ROM? Can you share the procedure?

Thanks

I have the infinity and am rooted, is there a way to make apps think it is the prime? For example I used to play order and chaos on my prime but it says my infinity is "un recognized".

Any ideas?

I been playing with roms on my sensation for a long long time now. I have tried probally every rom there is. Some days il try 5 diff roms in an evening. Its almost a hobby to me now. I am currently using ViperS. I also prefer sense roms over aosp and aokp roms. Whenever i have tried jellybean roms like cm10 etc. It is so fast. So smooth. Unreal. Then after playing with it. I go flash viperS or elgencia. Whatever and its back to clicking an app or going through a menu and waiting 3 seconds or so for it to open. A sluggish expeeience compared to jb roms. My question is simple. Why is jb so smooth and its not even suppose to run on this phone. And older roms sluggish. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Edit. Have tried every kernel known to man. Not wanting to know how to make, for example, viperS smoother. Just wondering why jellybean roms so smooth

I can see that. Going from a aosp ics to a jb rom you can tell better performance. So going from sense to jb is a huge difference.

The built-in data counter is awesome, but I'm not sure on it's accuracy. From what I can tell, the overall usage is pretty much dead on, but the individual apps data usage add up to more than the total...

Notice the first three apps add to well more than the total. But I think the total is accurate, not the individual apps. I could be wrong.

[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
I noticed this yesterday while recording few videos using the stock camera app. I have been testing using stock camera app on both the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 based RELEASED ROMs and all seems to be affected.

I request members to check on their mobile by recording a quick video to see if anyone of us are NOT affected with this silly but IMPORTANT bug by Samsung. Suggests the level of testing they do before releasing these ROMs.

Also, when recording inverted with Samsung logo (earpiece) towards the right seems to fix this issue (as there is no change in channel mapping while changing orientation. However, playing back such files pose another serious bug that it only plays back fine on the phone screen and using MHL or a PC makes the video upside down despite the camera app supposedly fixing the orientation during recording.

My MHL connection is always fragile (though it worked fine for a day or so after swapping the mobo after a shocking hard brick). This also seems to be an issue with I9100 as I have tested it on 3 phones and all have the same issue.

To test this STEREO bug, you could record a quick video while snapping around the left and right microphones. They get reversed (swapped) during playback unless you record the video inverted.
[Galaxy S II General] override182:
It has been around........ since ics leak?
[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
I only noticed this on released version as the leaked one never worked for me as I dint do a wipe before installing them. After a wipe, I could access the stock camera app and notice this issue since the official release. Could well possibly exist since the leaked versions.

Samsung just need to remap the LR channels so we get proper audio on the video as it doesn't make much sense just to get stereo audio unless the directional clues are accurate. Also, they need to dynamically change this mapping for inverted video recording while also figuring why those inverted videos really look inverted on other devices and MHL - HDMI.

does a custom rom solve the problem with swapped stereo in video recording? If so, which rom would you suggest for the NOTE 2?

regards miraculous
[Galaxy S II General] king_below_my_lord:
Lol, I solve this problem by a simple solution, I hold the phone in reverse landscape while recording(ie home button will be on the left side), it seems that while recording the mic on the top is taken for the right side audio of stereo recording and the bottom mic for the left side audio of the stereo recording.
[Galaxy S II General] Stile35:
Ajde then you need to rotate video clip if you are watching on PC or TV. It is not proper solution unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II General] king_below_my_lord:
Yes that problem would be there though, I never knew it played like that in a computer, always used my phone itself to watch recorded videos. So our solution must be in switching the recording method between the two mic, ie, top mic for left side audio and bottom for right side audio. Maybe some kind of mod?
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
or just getting a program that flips the video afterwards.
[Galaxy S II General] Stile35:
Try to find such program that do it without recompression. Thanks.
