[Windows 8 General] Lysdexia:
First off, I apologize if this has been asked, I could only find a relevant thread about RT versions. Also, I was not sure if this should be posted in the Windows 8 general forum or the Microsoft Surface forum (I figured it was only for the Surface, not all tablets), and if I placed this in the wrong place, please delete it.

So on to my question: does anyone have a suggestion as to which Windows 8 Pro Tablet/Laptop hybrid to get? I would be using it to replace my old laptop: I'd like to do the standard stuff (watch videos, browse the web, etc), use it for notes in class, play the occasional game (nothing serious, probably just WoW, the real gaming I do on my desktop), and code in Visual Studio. I definitely want one that comes apart, like the Asus Transformers, so I'm not even considering sliders or all-in-ones.

I've read a bit about some of the tablets, but I honestly have no idea which one to get when they come out. I wanted the Microsoft Surface, but the kickstand instead of solid base kinda kills it for me (I want to be able to type with it on my lap), and I just can't weigh the pros and cons of the other tablets. I love the build quality of Asus, but I've heard bad things about atom processors. Samsung has an i5 version, but I'm not so sure about the build quality (I've never cared for plasticy laptops). I know the Samsung has 4GB of RAM, and I heard Asus has only 2GB (which would be abysmal, if they don't offer higher that will probably make my decision for me). I don't want to go anywhere near Lenovo, and I haven't heard much about any other brand (where are the specs for HP, Dell, Sony?).

So unless I'm missing something, I'm looking at the Microsoft Surface if I suck it up and embrace the kickstand, the Asus Vivo or the Samsung Ativ. The Asus will probably have better battery life, but the Samsung will (I believe) be far more powerful. Battery life isn't that big a deal to me as long as it can last around 6 hours or so on a charge (side note: do the docks have batteries in them like in the Transformers?), and I don't really know how the atom fares for what I want it to do. I know there is more to be seen from the other companies, but I have heard little about HP and Dell, and I don't like the design of the Sony Vaio Duo 11. Not to mention I don't want to wait for several months for the Surface or any other tablet coming out later (my laptop is really starting to crap out... Thanks "best friend" for convincing me to get a Macbook Pro a few years ago :p).

So anyway, my mind is all over the place and I really have no idea what to get. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if it seemed like I was rambling, I just really can't put all the factors together to make a decision.
[Windows 8 General] sketchy9:
What do you have against Lenovo? They make very good hardware, even if the design leaves something to be desired. But in your situation it might be ideal. The digitizer would help you with note taking, although I'm not sure how the Clover Trail processor will hold up to WoW or Visual Studio. I'm personally going to get one as a netbook replacement. Might be worth a look for you.
[Windows 8 General] Chillingly Based:
Yea I was going to say, right now its a decision between the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 and the Microsoft Surface.

The Thinkpad has a keyboard that can support the weight or the screen, active digitizer, legacy application support among others. The Surface RT is lighter, will probably be cheaper and comes preinstalled with onenote.

Had the Surface RT come with a digitizer I would have been all over that.
[Windows 8 General] Lysdexia:
Thanks a ton for the replies. I guess I've just heard a lot of bad things about Lenovo from friends, I'll look into it though. And I guess I'll have to wait for them to come out to see how well the processors fair, I think I'll end up going with an i3 or i5, but if the others aren't too far behind I may go for them instead for a cheaper price and longer battery.
[Windows 8 General] cpu999:
Get a tf book...
[Windows 8 General] Lysdexia:
I hadn't heard of the tf book, but now that I've looked at it it really seems like a contender. Do you have any idea when it's going to be released?
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
I am in very similar situation to yours.

I am trying to follow information regarding upcoming devices. I used to have Asus 1201N (Atom [2 core] 330 + ION platform) and was very happy with size, weight, screen, performance. I do web/mail browsing, movies (downloaded or streamed) plus quite a lot of writing for some websites.

I got rid of it because it was very hot device with warm/hot air constantly blowing out of it. I swapped it for an iPad bo it is just a toy not someting I can use to work.

So... in my case I am looking for:

approx 11" device (10 is definitely to small to work... 12" not mobile enough - tablet itself would be to big)

I think I will go with Atom. I dot suppose it will be worse than current range of Atoms... if I can get smooth playback of 720p mkv out of it I am settled.

One more issue I see regarding i3 and i5 CPU's are battery life and heating. From what I have seen hybrid devices with iCore processors will have an active cooling system (fan) unlike ARM and Atom based devices

Screen resolution - 1366 x 768 not more. Why not Full HD screen? Two reasons.

1. Atom could struggle in this resolution.

2. Since all I watch (I do not have a TV - no time) on this device will be either downloaded or streamed Full HD screen will make those films look bad when compared to HD ready resolution

decent battery life, reasonable weight of the tablet part of the device (if I can stay around iPad 1 weight it would be cool)

As for now my focus goes with 2 devices: Asus 810 and Samsung Smart PC (PC Pro will have iCore CPU).

It seems that we'll have an assortment of models, but are prices mentioned somewhere? All I've seen its the Vaio Duo with a price tag of $1200 and all I can shell out is two thirds of that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
For those who think there power button is broken because they push the button a ton of times..

Its not broken!! Its just a delay push it once and wait it will turn on it takes about 5 secs my brothers take 10 secs..

If it doesn't turn after a minute make sure your cover button is actually hitting the soft phone button, after you do all that then yes there's a problem with your hardware
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my screen didn't immediately turn on when I hit the power button I'd consider it not working properly and warranty it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
I come from the 1st mytouch 3g platform.

For us this was normal, as some devs delayed the power process on purpose for roms on gb,

I could be wrong but I know that when my phone was stock it booted quick after I went with ics and s-off my boot was delayed it varies from rom to rom for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Coming from a Moto Cliq my Amaze turns on fast. But that's just comparing Grapefruits and Oranges (I dare not say apple)
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
True but I'm just saying that I think its normal, to have a bit of a delay now if the phone literally does nothing at all after a few seconds then that's a problem
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Speed rom 7.8 doesn't have this lag, it shouldn't have it anyways
[HTC Amaze 4G] jgoedhard:
I had this problem but fixed it with a piece of tape (black electrical tape) over the power button inside the case.

I got a new cover under warranty...didn't fix the issue,

Got a new battery which didn't fix the issue but it did fix the reboots and shutdowns.

Changed back to energy. ( don't know if this did it)

I know the button does work inside the case but I felt like taking a hammer to the button.

What happened is the plastic cover over the button gotten thin over the time by pressing the button so many times.

Now it works flawlessly. Well i guess the until the tape or the plastic cover thins more.

Now i'm loving my Amaze once again and won't be selling it for half the price anytime soon
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
I use volume buttons to wake phone turns on instantly with power button just have to press it kind of hard but with volume buttons not the case
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
I'm talking about like if your phone is turned off.. and you hit the power button to turn it back on it lags,
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngambek2003:
I'm curious what kind of shutter lag does the camera have? I have a Galaxy S3 now and am pretty happy with the almost zero shutter lag. Is the shutter lag on the Note 2 comparable to the S3?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] carrthee89:
Hey guys, am planning to buy x5 pro,, am satisfied with the specifications(in this price range).. jus need your suggestions. whether i can buy this model.. Is it outdated?? jelly bean update?? any common hardware probs??

BTW , am coming from lg p500 community..

Posted already in Q&A section, but no response.. thats why am posting it here.. Sorry...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hung.ngomanh:
good choice

I thinks the X5 or X5 pro is the good choice for this price.

JB now is not available yet for X5 or X5 pro :(.

And let buy it if you want, don't hesitate :))

I'm from VietNam and i will buy the U8800 in the end of this week :), just wait for the transporter :)

:good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Generation_Next-2000:
Please guys don't go for U8800, instead go for U8800 PRO. It has got more ROMs here at XDA, better configuration. Also has Official ICS update. Its not there for U8800. M using Pro and there r many ROMs both of GB and ICS to try out this phone. and JB is soon going to come out for Pro and not for simple U8800, since a developer is developing it and going to release it for u8800 pro only. So go for U8800 PRO, not U8800. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
If you can get the g300 (8815/8818) where you are, go for that one. Upgrade to ICS available now, bigger screen, nicer build. Just better all round. Otherwise get the x5 pro. The regular x5 has not even got an official gingerbread running on it let alone ICS or jellybean.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hung.ngomanh:
Thanks all,

But who say the ICS or JB can not available on U8800 ?

We have many dev and i believe nothing we cant do !

I will try on U8800 and waiting for the "best ROM" for it !:victory:

Okay I have been having this problem for about 2 months now and I'm tired of it ! I cannot call or text just one person in my contacts *my girlfriend* and I'm really trying everything possible to try and fix it. I've deleted her contact , I've entered her number manually, I've factory reset my phone. I can call her once in a while but its usually rarely ! I can get her texts but not her calls. And she can't get my texts or calls. Someone please help and thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Did you buy your phone on Craig's or Ebay or Backpage?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SenorChavezz:
No I got the phone brand new from t mobile. Before we were able to talk fine and then just one day we couldn't for some reason.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Could be Sim related. Walk into a Tmo store and see what they say.

Is it rooted and Rom'd?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SenorChavezz:
What could be wrong with my sim card ? And I think ill have to. And no my phone is completely stock with no modifications.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
check if she accidently blacklisted you or you blacklisted her. That happened to me before.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SenorChavezz:
I checked her phone I'm not on the blacklist.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chozyn:
Try your sim card in another phone and call/text her. I'd it works its your phone if not the possibly your sim. You can also try the same thing with her phone to see if the issue is her sim.

Good luck!

Hi!

Im on my fifth Nexus 7 now and thought that I finally received a perfect unit. This has no screen separation or creaking glass but noticed that the silver frame surrounding the tablet is a bit loose/squishy on the left side. The right side is very solid but the left is not and make creaking noises when I press on it.

Do you have this issue aswell?

Hi,

Somewhat new to this. Have a G2, and want to put it on Mimicry.

I did this.

Then I did this.

Then this.

Now I'm stumbling at the 10-yard line. I choose the Mimicry Zip to apply. Then I see this:

What comes out the other end is a weird Froyo/ICS monster that doesn't connect to the Play store and won't let me go on 3G, which my network requires to place phone calls.

Any thoughts on what I should do?
[General Questions and Answers] OmRomRom:
Is aroma hanging or is it giving false installs? If it is hanging then do this... reboot into recovery -> mounts and storage -> format data -> go back -> go back into mounts and storage -> go back again (I know, it's weird) -> then attempt to reinstall. That info comes from the guy that made Ariel for ATT SGS3 (I apologize for forgetting your handle sir). I have used this method. It works.

If that isn't your issue... Shout obscenities at your phone and get a beer? :D
[General Questions and Answers] TedTheShred:
So, I have made progress in the form of (sort of) giving up.

Instead of flashing 1.5.0, I flashed 1.4.0. Everything went smoothly and Aroma worked fine.

Now it's asking if I want to do the OTA to upgrade to 1.5.0 and I am hesitant.
[General Questions and Answers] OmRomRom:
Well I'd most likely go cautious. If it didn't work on 1.5 before then it may not if you upgrade (I know. No s*** right?). Personally I didnt have issue with aroma after taking the steps I listed by the dev of aroma. If it works for you with 1.4 then rock 1.4. Before I used Aroma I did full wipe and formatted system. Even then I got the hang on aroma logo. After the steps provided by the dev I was good to go.

There is a modem flasher out now that uses aroma and that has no hang issues at all. Maybe the dev ironed out the bug.

Sorry I didn't notice your response. I've been keeping an eye on all of Drew Garden's kickass stuff he's been churning out.

Ya but I have the files to flash after a att Rom so I was wondering if this would be the same or is the 7000 a totally different phone compared to the att or the tmobile one.

Do not flash any international ROMs!!! Especially the ROMs with the kernel included. You will most likely brick your phone. It's the kernel that im worried about. Play it safe!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirazdindar:
Hiya...

I have an unlocked Mytouch 4g (HTC Glacier). When I put my Virgin Mobile Canada (same network as Telus and Bell) SIM card in, none of the above three networks are available -- only AT&T, T-Mobile and some mystery network show up. I've tried various ROMs, including the latest MIUI, CM7 and CM9. I thought the Bell bands were supported. Do I need to flash a different radio, perhaps? Any leads greatly appreciated.

SsshirazzZ

ps. the SIM card is good. I can see the Bell network with the same card on an unlocked Samsung Skyrocket.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The bands don't seem to be the issue. GSM bands are 100% supported, and one of the 3G bands is supported (2100).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirazdindar:
Thanks for your reply.

I just can't seem to get it it see the Telus/Bell/Virgin Mobile Canada network. It can see Rogers, AT&T and T-Mobile (I'm near the US border), but not what I want. I've tried flashing the Panache radio, as well as different ROMS (including T-Mobile's stock Gingerbread as well as stock Froyo). I've tried several different SIM cards just to see if any of them would show the network. I remembered that I had my phone only foreign-SIM card unlocked by T-Mobile so I purchased a proper unlock code cellunlocker.net, but I can't get the phone to prompt me for an unlock code since it wasn't on stock. That's why I tried flashing to stock, hoping that I could get a SIM card unlock prompt, to no avail. Perhaps that has something to do with the T-mobile foreign card unlock already having been done, irrespective of ROM? Anyhow, I somewhat suspect this might be the issue, as it's the only thing I can think of besides unsupported bands, which you say is not the issue, or radio, which I've already tried. (Panache runs on the Telus/Bell network too).

I'm at a loss. I've put in about 8 hours to salvage my $150 phone. Virgin Mobile is the only real well-priced option here on Vancouver Island offering 3G or better. Funny thing is, if I were to buy a new phone, I'd probably want the same one (it's for my wife), but I don't know if the issue is specific to my phone or if I'd get the same problem.

Any further thoughts or input would be *greatly* appreciated... this has been one of those truly hair-pulling experiences.
