[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stuartv:
I wish I could say that. I got a 13 page Word doc to review the other day. Every time I tried to open it with Polaris it would end up just putting me back at the Home screen. I finally had to open it on my PC, save it as a PDF, then email it to myself, so I could open it in a PDF annotator so I could review it and mark it up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hanexs:
Odd, I just did it again to verify. Right from dropbox, I can open doc, docx, xls, xlsx, and even ppts! I can edit the files by tapping on the keyboard. Or hit the plus button in polaris docs and add freehand writing and even highlighting. And the best part is I just hate save and 30 seconds laters its synched on my main computer through dropbox.

Wonder if you have an older version of polaris maybe?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stuartv:
It does work on some docs. I just don't understand why it wouldn't work on this particular one. It was a pretty vanilla contract from my attorney. No embedded graphics or linked files or anything. I don't even think it had headers or footers. I downloaded it from my email into my Downloads folder. And Polaris would not open it.

I always keep completely up to date on Google Play. But, since Polaris was pre-installed, I don't think Play gives me updates for that. I guess I am supposed to get those via Samsung's app store? So, I don't know if my Polaris is up to date or not. I guess it is whatever version came in the Note's factory LGB firmware.

ps. I just went into Samsung apps and I didn't see any update available for Polaris. I went to "My page" and it showed some downloaded apps, so I guess that's where it would have shown me if there was an update available for Polaris. If not, then I don't know where I would get an updated version of Polaris (if there even is one).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] goosechen:
I have a Note 10.1 and a Samsung Series 7 Slate (running windows 8 RP).

I won't say which is better since I use them for totally different reasons.

For note 10.1, I use it for note taking at work and sketching while commuting by train. Note 10.1 is good for holding with one hand and the battery life is just amazing, (if I use S7S instead, I feel it is too heavy and the hot air blown from the fan makes my hand sweat so I cannot hold it too long). I don't use it for document editing at all and I haven't found any need for that.

For S7S, I use it while I'm on business trip. It is good to have a full version office to do some small document editing while out of office. Plus I can still do some engineering stuff if my project needs me to hot-fix some error etc. Not have to mention this tablet is great to do presentation. However, when it comes to heavy document editing and serious engineering development, S7S is just not good enough since using touch on Office and other CAD software is just a pain in the @ss and not productive enough.

Just buy what you want and use it for that purpose. there isn't one tablet that can fit everybody's every need.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
It wouldn't surprise me. When we started comparing S-Note version numbers to figure out an import problem it turns out there are six. Two are borked and four are fine. Polaris is supposed to allow annotations in PDFs but it's broken on my version. Is it working on anyone elses? My version is 4.0.5001-35-FV03.

Note 10 vs Samsung Ativ

I was reading through these same forum lists to answers that have cropped up in my head between the Note 10.1 and the Ativ. :confused:

I don't wish to hijack the list here from the OP, so I may start my own one, however I will continuing reading this one.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jeggen:
I still have a laptop for those exact reasons.

I'm not an engineer anymore but have a profession that requires some extensive writing and often using some very particular formats. I also do some research and have research/digital library software that has both a mobile (lighter) version for the tablet but still is only about 50% functionality of the full blown version.

What's nice is that having my tablet covers my travel needs 95% of the time. Had I wanted a laptop to replace what I have now I'd want an ultra book... which would be ultra expensive. Instead I bought the Note, Bluetooth Keyboard and an SSD for my laptop which provided considerable performance boost for my laptop and all the portability I need for 95% of the time. The other 5% I just pull out my laptop. Unfortunately my storage needs and the performance needs to do the searching a Win8 tablet wouldn't cut it anyway and would likely be a regression of performance from my laptop and certainly a regression on my bank account!

There is no better advice than to realize nothing can do everything, prioritize your needs and buy what you will meet those prioritized needs the best.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroidAble:
Try LectureNotes. I was a OneNote addict, but I think I may have finally let go. The developer just keeps improving this app to the point where it is almost as good an MS OneNote, for my needs (see post: Ditching S-Note for LN). He tells me he is working on a way to work with a calendar. If that happens and I can create tasks straight from LN onto a calendar, I think I would have everything I need. Look at all the improvements he has made under the "About LectureNotes". I literally feel like I get a present every couple of weeks. When I see there is an update waiting, I am immediately check to see if it will benefit me. Not only that, but he will take any request and usually make it happen. I asked for a date stamp and he did it. I asked for more options, and he did it. Apparently, someone asked for more, and he did it. Great developer.

Well... Ive had my Note for a week now. ANd originally I was certain I'd probably return it and wait for a windows device. But the more I use it I think its a keeper.

I can edit all my docs with pen or by typing with polaris docs. And the way it just opens and saves with one click from drop box is pretty mazing, it just works well.

I really miss onenote, and I s-note is just a pile.... but so what. I have ez-pdf and polaris docs.

If this thing charged over USB itd be a no brainer.

That was for you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
So what are peoples thoughts on this now that they've might have had both devices longer? I'm still interested in win8 tablet. Surface pro is getting ready to drop. But now you have all these ultrabook hybrids and other win8 tablets out. If I go win8, I got to have the fill blown OS. RT version sounded cool but is limited. I forgot who it was but some company is bringing out a dualbooting tablet with Android and full win8 on it.

this could be the holy grail.

Windows 8 Pro will be a ***** on the Atom, but thankfully you'll be able to switch to Android whenever you don't need Windows programs.

Too bad it has such a low res screen and active coolers.

Hate over emotionally defensive people, it's like being next to a popcorn machine, you don't know when they'll pop again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I think I saw another one. It has similar specs but had higher resolution and made by a more well known manufacturer.

Or I might have just been dreaming..lol

There's also now some win 8 tablets with 4K resolution coming out. Decently priced also(compared to other win8) 4k=UltraHigh Definition. TV manufacturer even made an 8k. These resolutions are getting ridiculous. Wouldn't the nexus10 be considered 4k or it falls short of it. Plus another issue is not all 1080p media or whatever looks good upscaled to 4k. Or at least that's what I read.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
Hahaha you should have seen blu ray on a 4K screen. It looks like DVD on a 60 inch 1080P screen

Looks like samsung has made up our minds for us and decided not to release an RT based tablet in the US .

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36563835&postcount=470
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Yes the reason for them doing that is the market trend and the reception windows 8 tablets have got in US looks like it a dead beast already atleast for now or a beast in ICU battling to stay alive
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] inmnbob:
I thought it would be hard to beat the Note 10.1. I used it as my primary device and it replaced my iPad and the HTC view that were my previous devices. I have to admit that now that I have the Samsung Attiv 500 that has replaced all of my devices. The windows 8 experience with office 2013 is pretty amazing from a content development perspective. I use OneNote and Exchange/outlook as an integrated solution that has no competition from the android and apple platforms.

I thought I was pretty much done with Windows but for work, digital note taking , office apps, multitasking etc it is hard to beat on a Windows Tablet.

I will still use my Samsung Note 2 and S3 phones and use the Note 10.1 for content delivery and hope that a 7.7in Samsung note is released because the form factor is a good fit to use it even more often.

Welcome to the SOSA Discussion Thread :)

[In my Infomercial voice] Here at SOSA, we are dedicated to giving you a quality experience, that's why we go beyond HTC Sense! Here, we give you a taste of Cyanogenmod, with a taste of the overseas love through FlyMe, and Just a dash of Mozilla with Boot2Gecko, all coming soon to an Evo 3D near you. At this time, because we currently do not do source code builds, we exclusively support the CDMA Evo 3D (Sprint, Boost Mobile, Virgin, etc.) and have no way of testing anything GSM related. As you can see, per our lineup, we are ALMOST exclusively AOSP, big names like Team Imagika, Venom, Team 420 and chubbz have the HTC Sense scene on lock :) Hope you enjoy it.

Here is where we talk about updates to the ROMs we have, and is the overall headquarters for all things SOSA, including tweaks, of course ROMs, and other contributions like wallpapers and stuff.

So, here is how the thread is set up:

First post: ROMs - Find all info on your favorite ROM, including changelogs, what to expect, and troubleshooting

Second Post: Team Info - All our team members, what ROM they are maintaining, and info about them

Third Post: Wallpaper/Sound Packs, Splashes, etc. - Self Explainitory

Try downloading on a pc and transfer to your phone. Had this problem with a kernel last week.

EVOLV3D through XDA
[HTC EVO 3D] Vesnik:
Really weird issues here.

When flashing 3DA_2.1.zip it just throws up the teamwin splash screen and goes back to twrp main screen. Had tried downloading it multiple times now. Never to phone, always on computer. Never have had issues with corrupt downloads.

h-boot 1.40, twrp 2.2. Should probably also mention i was running 2.0.1 just fine.

EDIT: Never mind seemed to work fine after an adb reboot recovery, couldn't even reboot from recovery. TWRP must of just beein bugging out.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I flashed it fine. Jbear hboot s-off latest ICS firmware bits
[HTC EVO 3D] Vesnik:
Got it to work, TWRP was just being weird. However Navigation still reboots my phone as it was doing in 2.0.1. Going to try re-flashing gapps as you suggested earlier, does no one else have this problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] goalie25560:
What version of Navigation are you using? The newer version of Navigation causes issues on those ROMs I use the 6.9.0 version of Navigation apk and it works just fine. If you need a link to the apk just let me know

Try to see if your "play store beats audio" has had any updates. Go into settings/apps/download/beats audio & uninstall update and wipe app cache. Start from there

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
Ok so this definitely worked for me (Finally!), so I wrote down the exact steps I took so you can try it on your machine. I haven't installed anything different on my iMac like drivers for Samsung or whatnot, but I did have a functioning KIES prior to Mountain Lion update. I uninstalled KIES since receiving Mountain Lion since it stopped working for me.

- Download the latest version of Samsung Kies: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP

- Open the downloaded DMG

- Once you have the .Kies20mac_S8173.pkg file window with the "Uninstall.app", right click on the KIES20mac_S8173.pkg and open using "The Unarchiver" and extract to a folder (I created a KIES folder on my desktop)

- From here you will see a file called "contents.pkg", Right click and select "Show Package Contents"

- Double click "Payload", it will create a file called "Payload-1", (at least it did for me)

- double click "Payload-1" and it will create another file called "Payload-1-1"(the payload part seems to have just duplicated so you may only need to do this once. But keep opening until you see the Applications Folder)

- In "Payload-1-1" you'll find the Applications folder, within the Applications folder you'll see the "Kies.app".

- Transfer the Kies.App to the Applications folder and then run Kies.

Should work fine and should also detect your Galaxy S 3.

HOWEVER

If you

already have KIES installed

but doesn't detect your phone or keeps prompting for update, try this:

1) Open the Kies menu and select Preferences

2) Click on the Update tab at the end

3) Uncheck the 'Notify when updates are available'

4) Close and restart Kies.

5) Now try connecting your device.

Or try uninstalling your current installation of KIES and try following the steps I listed above.

FYI, I am running a rooted stock ROM for Rogers with Kalagas Theme installed.

I hope this works for you too

In a nutshell...its what iTunes is to iPhones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunnyman:
I got it installed, but Kies refuses to detect my phone. I reinstalled drivers and still nothing. It says "connecting" but never connects.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
I had this at first but I tried a different USB port and it eventually detected my phone. I also tried toggling Camera >< MTP

I also found that using a JellyBean ROM it has a harder time detecting, I oft have to reconnect my USB a couple of times.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SquareWide:
I thought this had been confirmed to only work if you ALREADY had Kies installed before upgrading to ML?

I tried and it doesn't work on a new install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
WHat I did was install the latest Kies for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it worked perfectly fine for me, no modifications needed.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
Title says it all.

The specs of the X2 are a lot better than the DInc2's, so why does everyone dislike it over the DInc2?

Is it because of how hard it is to root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
P.S. In my area, vzw still has red DInc2's
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I don't think that it's the locked bootloader that's the issue since there's plenty of people who use their smartphones without ever rooting their phones. Rather, I heard that the Motorola Droid X2 has a lot of hardware/software issues that always occurs at some point in its lifespan. Specs don't mean anything especially if support is terrible. Some of our wonderful people here in the Dinc2 community can tell you more about it. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
this would probably be a better post in android general, as i havent noticed any particular amount of hatred towards other phones in the inc2 subforum

personally though? i wont buy moto devices until the stop encrypting their bootloaders....but even then i hate blur so i probably wouldnt

my take

if you only use aosp: get a nexus device

if you like sense/aosp: get htc device

if you like tw/aosp: get a samsung device

Blur sucks.
