[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
So far I basically use this thing as a web browser, twitter reader and forum crawler.

Of course I rooted, themed, installed new kernels, bricked it, brought it back to life, and now I'm back to stock rooted.

So what else can this thing do? I bought a USB dongle thinger but I don't like watching movies on the small screen (I get headaches easy). Give me some ideas?

Have you tried alternate ROMs? If not, I'd recommend Paranoid Android. It's smooth, fast, stable, and it allows you to choose between phone, phablet, and tablet mode for every app.

If PA isn't your style, try Slimbean or Cyanogenmod 10.

There are a lot of ROMs out there to mess around with.

I want to start porting apps. What do I need to know about porting? I have tried porting libs and other data and didn't have luck so I know I'm missing so something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] thompsd:
Well if you mean by porting you want to move apps from one device to another I found a good way to do that is to back up all apps via titanium on the device you have and then copy the titanium folder to the sd card you're going to use on the amaze and restore from that. Careful not to restore any system apps but most work well. As an example I subscribe to the wsj and the amaze app is pretty fast and works. On my Prime that version won't install instead they use a much more media intense app which while nice takes 5-10 minutes to load the paper. So I did the above trick and now I can use whatever on my prime, no problems.

Has anybody tried an USB DAC on the new CM10/AOKP ROMs? Do they work? Are they supposed to work?

Also, I've heard that the S3 supports USB DACs out of the box. Is there any chance for us to get this feature with the next official ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sprintuser1977:
There's been a huge debate in the note forums about this phone and I wanted to give my thoughts in short form. Honestly, the only thing I miss is the screen size. The s3 screen is better. The s3 is snappier, it has a better camera and the form factor to me is better.

ill adjust to the screen, typing has been the biggest problem. I was going to wait on the note 2 but after the conference I was let down how little it was an upgrade. Don't get me wrong, the note is an awesome phone in every way, just giving my 2 cent. I had sold mine and was gonna get a note 2 but being a phone whore I figured I'd get something new!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hesh.monster:

I came from an iPhone. I could type about 36WPM in portrait. With the s3 I can't go that fast, but I have less typos. I look at the iPhone which my wife now uses and think wow thats a small screen. I don't know how I made it watching Netflix on that puny thing.

I could never stand to watch videos on my iPhone but with the Gs3 its awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
You're not alone - when I looked at my Droid Incredible (i.e., same screen size as today's iPhones) the week after using my new Galaxy S III, it looked like a toy. But, I previously saw it as entirely fine from a display size perspective.

It still operates like a champ, though I can't see going back to a smaller display for my daily phone except as a temporary backup.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corys00:
I have a Nexus 7, been running an AOKP rom on it for about a week, maybe a little less, but it's been stable. Yesterday afternoon, I go to open Flipboard, device reboots. However, all it's doing is bootlooping. So, I use the Nexus 7 Toolkit and reflash the stock image, it comes back to life. I use the one click for all option, everything still is fine. However, if I've flashed a CM10 rom and another rom (the name is skipping me), once it tries to boot, it bootloops still. Before I flashed the CM10 rom, I flashed a CM10 compatible kernel and it was fine on stock, but once I flashed CM10, bootloops.

I'm at wits end and open to suggestions now. And no, I didn't get a logcat, I didn't think of it last night for some stupid reason.

[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
I'm having an issue with my tablet constantly rebooting during Dropsync's initial setup and sync with my Dropbox folder. I setup Dropsync to sync photos from my dropbox folder and after about a dozen or so downloads, the Infinity locks up and then reboots. Once the tablet reboots, it will continue to sync for a short while and the same thing happens again and again unless I'm quick enough to disable Dropsync.

The irony is that I was about to post a thread here using my laptop, while my Infinity was doing it's dropsync thing. The thread was going to be about how pleased I had become with my Infinity over the last few days after solving some of the issues I was having. I'll still post the successes I've had, since this dropsync issue does not change that. I've found that some of the lag that I've been experiencing is app related and not limited to the TF700. The Netflix app and the game Gears and Guts were two such apps that as it turns out, are laggy on many many systems, so I can't blame the Infinity. Turning on "force 2D rendering", has helped a lot, especially with Netflix. I was also getting lag while scrolling on some websites but that turned out to be browser related since the same page worked flawlessly with another browser. As for the general lag and sluggishness, a factory reset seemed to take care of those issues (thank goodness for Titanium).

So here I am, getting ready to write a "I misjudged my Infinity" thread, and now I'm getting crashes and reboots because I'm pushing my tablet "too hard" by downloading files? WTF!? My friggin phone has no problem with this! I'm re-frustrated (is that a word?).

Any other users of Dropsync or a similar app have this issue? Is this something that is fixable via software (update or ROM)? I think either way I'm going to return my tablet while I'm in my 30 days. I'll exchange it for a new one and see if it fairs any better but the leash on this thing is getting shorter and shorter. It's too bad, I so want to love it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
UPDATE

I'm now running drop sync as I'm typing this on my Infinity. It's running flawlessly. The difference? I changed the destination folder from the external sd card to internal memory. It's a work around. There shouldn't be an IO issue that precludes the use of the sd card for large downloads but at least I can live with it. But for the price I paid for this, along with the keyboard I shouldn't have to "live with it". I'll hold out hope for a fix.

There is a way to get your unlock code for free.. calling at&t or rogers and telling them you want your unlock code and they by law must give it to you...

Why pay when your legally entitled to this code?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I heard that for Canada that they will give you the code after you contract is up because then you have fully paid for your phone and they are obligated since it is now yours. I have not tested this just heard it from a friend who will try this method in 6 months when his contract is over. Any one try this yet?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkshado:
hazard1nc and dudejb: Going by my experience and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock

USA: T-Mobile has given codes as long as you fulfilled a few conditions. AT&T now gives them on request due to a binding class action lawsuit settlement/decision, not an actual law.

Canada: There was an attempt to mandate SIM unlocking by law, but the bill never passed. Carriers might provide a code according to their policies and whims, usually for a fee that's akin to highway robbery (50-75$). None will provide a code upon purchasing a phone outright either.

joewho21: I've searched for the errors you've had and couldn't come up with much.

MMI codes are like the codes you've used to get the phone's lock status and perhaps feed it an unlock code.

Is the error popping up on its own? With a SIM in the phone? Without?

My best-guess-based suggestion: without a SIM card in the phone, flash CWM, backup your /efs partition, making multiple copies. Then delete the nv_data.bin file on your phone, and reboot it. This should (and can be confirmed with nv.log afterwards) force the phone to restore the backup nv_data file. Depending on what NewEgg did to unlock at first, your phone should now be locked to Rogers, and still have its IMEI valid. Shut down the phone, insert your AT&T SIM and turn it back on. With any luck you should get a prompt and be on your way.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
If you're having problems with internet (and mms) it's likely that you need to enter the correct APN settings. A quick search around these forums should mention how to do it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly: if I go to AT&T or Walmart and just buy a Captivate Glide outright, no contract or anything, I can then call AT&T and say hey I need the unlock code for the Captivate Glide? Or even get it at the AT&T store if I get it there instead of Walmart?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
Better to wait 3 or 9 months depending on the contract - they can't toss out the SIM unlocking code when the phone's pretty fresh. Same for any carriers around here, from what I'm told.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
That's kinda what I thought. I just want to buy the phone without ever having a contract. I pretty much thought the order would be buy the phone, buy the unlock code, insert the SIM card from Net10, have Net10 service. Though I've heard conflicting reports on whether AT&T stores will sell the phone outright without me signing up for a contract. Walmart, on the other hand, doesn't care, but somehow the Glide there is more expensive by about $100 than at an AT&T store.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
Yeah... It does suck but some online store like www.newegg.com do sell the unlocked Android phones, even scary expensive ones cheap - sometimes they gets put up for sales - I remember SGH-I927 was to be sold for $250 there. I'll check.

EDIT: Yup, still $250.

And I bought mine used at a pawnshop for $150 as I had to ditch the Straight Talk phone, since I have been having issues with few peoples (long story), but now the problem's solved. AT&T gave me the SIM unlock code instantly as it's maybe a few months old and was sold off as a second-hand so I'm not binded to the contract. And if you bought a phone with the full price paid off, not subsidized, they can give you the SIM code, you gotta check with some AT&T CSR who have the patience.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
Thats sad! I purchased AT&T 2 Glides and one iphone4 at walmart last year. got them with a 2yr contract for just under $100 each. they wanted to sell me insurance for an extra 4.99 a month. I asked, "If I have to use the insurance, what is my deductible?" I was told that for all smart phones, I would have to pay $200 for a replacement! If I can get a "unlocked" glide online new in the box for $250 - $300 why should I pay $4.99 every month plus when something happens, have to pay another $200! I laughed, declined and said I'll take my chances! The sales clerk had the nerve to ask... "Are you sure you don't want insurance" :D God forbid something happen to my Glide, I still have my old moto razr as backup!
