[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueback22:
I'd like you to tell me everything that's wrong with the Note 10.1 (freezing, stuttering, lag, connectivity drops, etc.). Let me get this out of the way first.

I LOVE ANDROID. Let's get that out of the way. I am trying to decide if I am going to buy a Note 10.1 or not, but I'd like your experience to help me. Here is the list of what I've had...

Xoom - Nice tablet, but the weight and thickness wasn't my thing, so I returned it for a Tab 10.1

Galaxy Tab 10.1 - I got this tablet when it first launched. Great tablet. Never a huge fan of Touchwiz, but it wasn't very intrusive. Wasn't happy with Samsung's software support (updates very slow, Hulu not supported, source code not dropped for easy upgrade to ICS via ROM). Overall I was very happy.

Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 - Sold GTab for this. Screen was awesome, connectivity ports were great (USB, HDMI, SD card), ICS installed at launch. It's one MAJOR problem was the poor quality control which has led many people to problems. I dealt with a ton of lag/stuttering/freezing issues while any sort of data transfer occurred such as app updates. I dealt with it for 45 days and couldn't handle it anymore. The only other issue was low speaker volume. I return it for the iPad3

iPad 3 / New iPad - I didn't like my options in the Android space for a new tablet and the guy at BestBuy told me the Note 10.1 drops WiFi intermittently, so I decided to give iOS a shot. The hardware is great. It's high quality, feels solid, and is very smooth (hardware/OS integration). It's biggest problem is that it runs iOS. I feel very limited by the OS being an Android guy. I don't want to spread my dollars across 2 ecosystems and I will not leave my Android phone (Galaxy Nexus). While the system is smooth and serves basically all of my needs, it's not Android. I even jailbroke it and got certain features I like from Android, but it's not doing it for me (no mouse support, no customizable keyboards, most apps aren't free, no custom ROMS, that damn Home button, etc.)

I KNOW that the Note screen isn't HD, but I didn't mind the GTab screen. I know Hulu isn't officially supported, but due to XDA I should be able to install the hacked APK, I know it runs Touchwiz, but if I don't like it there are ROMs to replace it.

I think BestBuy (and my wife) will kill me if I return a 3rd tablet to them. Please tell me what you don't like. My biggest concern is the "flexible" plastic back. Felt like I was going to break it in the store.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethandissi:
Hello, I am a fellow convert from the TF700. Although the screen was great, the lag ruined that tablet for me. So about this guy, fits in hand much better, I have not had any lag or fc, which I was having regularly on TF700. I use it for school and can honestly say it has officially replaced my notebook. The only real qualms I thought I would have is the resolution, but surprisingly I hardly notice. I would recommend giving this tablet a shot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Not to seem rude, but there are already about 8 threads that cover all of this many times over.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueback22:
I agree, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted so I created a new thread.

[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Just saw this on the homepage:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/first-custom-skin-surfaces-for-htc-sense-4-devices/

when they do release the program i hope it can be made to work for us. I tried to download the skin but since viperrez is a mix of ville fireball and evita it doesnt work because theres one version for hd(one x) and one for qHD(one s). I didnt think it was gonna work anyway but hey it doesnt hurt to try
[HTC Rezound] kkryter:
I saw this as well and was very happy about it. Great news as I've been looking forward to some great theming for the Rezound. Here's to hoping that it happens as soon as possible!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yamilrx:
My phone is rooted and a custom rom is installed but i keep getting the official google warning to update my phone. I tried updating to see if it would go away but it freezes the phone probably because I am rooted. Does anyone know how to turn the update warning off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fiftyclick:
1. Wrong section

2. Try flashing a newer or updatable rom - most of the newer roms that are out do not have this warning, and if they ever do they won't crash when you try to update.

I remember when using windows mobile I loved Chronos by Active Kitten (http://activekitten.com/en/games/detail.php_ID=351.html), it had everything from quarterly to hourly charms/alarms, stopwatch, timer, normal alarm clock.

I'm looking for something with all those features for android. Any suggestions?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReDxKinG:
Hello all, I'm from the evo3d forums, and i just got my tf300t and only have 2 questions ...how do I know/check what my current firmware is? Also, there is a pending firmware update but I am not sure what it is for...I'm guessing its jellybean but after seeing the jelly bean issues thread I am hesistant to download it so I'm curious to know if there is any way to know what the update is for without actually doing it, that little firmware message keeps popping up and its starting to freak me out...the suspense is killing me lol someone please advise
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Go to settings - about tablet at the bottom - all info is there. If your android version is anything other than 4.1.1 then that would be why you're getting tagged for the update.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReDxKinG:
Thanks my current version is 4.0.3...should I update or stay with ics? That thread about the jelly bean issues that many people are having with this tablet have me hesitant to update combined with the fact that once u go JB there is no way to get back to ICS..what do you guys suggest?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RangerLG:
Are you wanting to root your tablet? If so, stay on ICS.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f4s7d3r3k:
I would hold out.

Personally I would stick with ICS for now. I updated my girlfriends tablet to JB and now the backspace on her dock works intermittently.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
If you're up for unlocking the thing, then you can try one of the JB ROMs with the option to return to ICS (even stock ICS) later. I've been running JB since July on AOKP or BAKED BlackBean and love it. Both of those boot with the ICS bootloader so you're able to swap back and forth.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xaphino:
I am also in the same boat I'm on 4.0.3 and just got the update notification. I had updated as soon as I got my tablet but I guess that turn out to be the minor update. Now knowing that I am still on ICS. I was curious to know where I can get information about Rooting my tablet. Also if I am on ICS do I need to unlock the bootloaders?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Look in the Dev section for the debugfs method. This method does not require unlocking. This method only works on ICS.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReDxKinG:
Yea I think I'm going to stick with ics for the time being, is there anyway to stop the firmware update message from popping out or disable it entirely as I would certainly hate to press the install button by mistake when I'm drunk or something lol

It appears that you are up and running again....please look at the "note super everything thread" located at the top of the general section..

There you will find all of the current rooting, flashing threads for your device....

Then read, read, read, and read some more so you fully understand the process, and could do it in your sleep. "Then" you will be ready to jump into kernels, modems, and custom roms....

And for future reference, Please stay away from youtube as an instructional video.....while they make for good entertainment, they often lack the technical side of the installation process, and can leave out important steps in the process...getting users jammed up with no help available...

[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
I've been learning more and more about how to change your PRL but I wanted to ask you guys to see which PRL you guys are currently getting the best signal and speeds on. I know it really depends and the same PRL won't work for everyone the same way but I would like to give them all a shot.

Best Sprint PRL until now

60687

Best Verizon PRL until now

00001

Note using this PRL could possibly get your contract cancelled by Sprint with too much usage. It will not let you know that you are roaming but you are.

I'm also going to try to put a tutorial on how to change your PRL on the Evo 3D for those of you who are interested and not too familiar on how to do this and how it works. I just haven't been able to get around to it with work and school.

Let me know what you guys got! :cowboy:
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Temporary PRL information

Until you get around to posting your own tutorial, this post in the MIUI thread will provide some information to users that are interested in learning more about PRL's, but it could definitely use some consolidation.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Sprint prl's will not affect signal or data speeds while on sprint's network. They only tell the phone what towers to roam on.

Technically the 00002 prl is a newer version of the 'all Verizon' prl.

There's already a thread for this. EPST by using ##775# on all Froyo and GB roms, and QPST with all ICS roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
1. Therefor better signal and speed...

I use Speed test and the difference is there.

2. Yes sir but I still got better service from 00001. I tried them both.

3. I used QPST with a GB rom using ##3424# so I have no idea what you are talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
##775# is prl. 7=p 7=r 5=l it worked before ics
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Well considering each prl update will maybe update 3-4 towers across the country, I highly doubt you are in that area to be affected.

Dial ##775#, hit update, choose prl, then hit menu-commit. A lot easier than hooking up to a computer with QPST, and you can do it anywhere, so you can change your prl if you are not at home or by a computer.

[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
I was only trying to help as well as see which PRLs were working best for others to give them a try and see how they worked for me. The intention of this thread was to give everyone an updated overview of the PRL situation and as ramjet set, consolidate the best information but I have changed my mind. You are right, there are plenty of other references. If a moderator sees this, please close thread.

Thinking about moving to WP... I remember seeing somewhere a web site where you punch in what Android apps you use and it spits out WP equivalent. Am I imagining stuff?
[Nokia Lumia 900] mindfrost82:
I remember something like that a while back, but I'm not sure if its still around or updated.

With that said, the WP market is growing every day, and there's some cross-platform apps and some unique apps (especially games).

If you list some of the apps you're interested in, we can put what we use or if the same app is available.

The ones I miss most are my banking apps (no apps for Chase, ETrade, or Mint.com yet). I know Chase is being worked on, but I'm not sure about the other two.

There's also no Words with Friends or Draw Something, which are both popular on Android and iPhone, but they're in the works and should be coming soon too. There's also no Scrabble by EA. For Angry Birds, we only have the original game, not any of the later versions.

There's quite a few good XBox Live games though, which I like how its all tied in with my XBox and achievements.

With all that said, if you're wanting to change to WP, I would wait for WP8 devices to come out.
[Nokia Lumia 900] biang:
Search for "E*Trade" and scroll through the matches. The app was just released.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mindfrost82:
Yeah, I downloaded it the day after it came out. Unfortunately its a BIG disappointment from their banking side. You can't do anything with checking/savings accounts other than see the total balance. You can see transaction history, no transferring of money, no mobile check deposit, no bill pay, etc.

IMO, it was a rushed job, especially when compared to the Android and iOS versions.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Mafiatounes:
Nokia released a migration tool for pc called Welcome Home, if you have an Android/iOS device you need to sync with it and it will give a list with the apps of your current phone for WP, if it cannot find the correct app it will give you an alternative.

I am kind of afraid to try it out, liquids ICS rom is the first rom I had that the flash actually works correctly, even if its slightly grainy...but I suppose thats what nandroids are for eh.

And for anyone wondering my current thunderbolt is a Asurion replacement, everything worked perfectly except for the camera flash( flash goes off then camera snaps the picture) and since I use the camera so rarely I didn't want to risk getting another replacement that might have some other problem I couldn't live with, you know the Asurion circle of death.

Is there a step-by-step procedure to do this for complete noobs like me? I don't know how to backup and root since it is my first Android device and I just don't want to brick it if I miss a step. Thank you very much for this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Consumers:
Would appreciate a full guide as well. Though it seems pretty straightforward, I wouldn't want to make an elementary mistake or one specific to this device.

Also, I'm curious whether full functionality will be present in translating over to a different launcher.

Thanks a ton for the great work to all involved (and great timing in getting it out a week after I got my hands on the 4.2)!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zebluk:
Ok, added a HOWTO for Windows users, I hope that helps.

@Consumers: I'm not sure what do you mean by "translating over to a different launcher", maybe you're talking about CWM? Anyway unless you hardbrick your device, you should be able to restore it to stock (even from the exclamation mark screen which is in fact another download-mode), just be safe and do backups when you're in doubt!

For now I don't plan on doing other updates. Now the stock ROM is dumped & rooted, I'll let the modders take it from here, if they feel like it ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zebluk:
Install Superuser I didn't include it to keep changes minimal.

Make sure you have rooted device issuing "adb shell" at prompt, then type "su". If you see sharp sign "#" you have root.
