[Asus Transformer TF700] deathgod1:
I keep hearing ppl saying to wait for winRt instead of getting an android or iPad, and am curious as to what winRT can do that can't be done on an Android or Apple tablet? It was my understanding that winRT would be limited to windows phone esque apps and you would have to get a windows 8/pro for the full experience. I was excited about the Surface when it was announced because i thought i could use all the programs that I'm used too from previous versions of Windows, but that version of the Surface isnt coming out untill later this year right?

I just don't see Windows RT succeeding at the current price point without the legacy support. $250-$300 would be more reasonable IMO.

OP I've seen videos of the Note 10.1 in action and its great, but so is the infinty when it works. If u can hold off until next year, I think Samsung will be releasing a very high res tablet with potentially exynos 5 series cores. I'd get a nexus 7/nook tablet/fire HD while u wait.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
I'm running Fedora 17 on a Dell Duo for notebook purposes and it absolutely rocks. Its totally stable, no bugs, surfs great, fast, multi tasking, etc. Its an amazing combination for a netbook. The only thing it doesn't have a lot of is video power. Its definitely not a gamer in that regard.

The Duo came with Vista. SSSLLLLOOOOWWW. Touch a link and wait and wait and wait. It didn't even surf well. Its outright fast with Fedora and Fedora is improving with every release. Its way faster surfing with the Duo than the Infinity. Firefox works way better on the Duo than it does on the Infinity.

KDE 4.9 is a really nice desktop and tools like Libre Office or whatever its called are pretty nice these days. I chuckle to myself every time I realize I have the power of Linux in such a small device.

I got my Infinity to see what I was missing in Android land and to get a tablet that I can read in a car or outside. The Duo screen is almost invisible in anything near daylight.

I'm impressed by the Infinity hardware. The screen rocks, the GPS is good, etc. I am not impressed with Android itself. Its a poor, poor cousin to Linux, for example.

I wouldn't own another tablet without the IPS+ screen. ASUS should be releasing the 600 and 810 models later this month and the 600 might have an 11.6" IPS+ screen on it. It will be running WIndows 8. I'd get a 600 in a heartbeat and put Linux on it. I might do that anyway and retire my Duo. I'll keep my Infinity for around the house and in the car purposes. Its so convenient for browsing, which is about all I ever use it for, right now at least.

My wife has a Sony laptop with Win 7 on it. Her laptop before that had Vista. As far as Windows goes, are you kidding me ? I totally fail to see the attraction. And I pay about $100 for that crap every time I buy a device and install Linux on it.

Hello Peeps,

Have any of you noticed that your power button is loose or wiggly?

I just noticed it on mine, my phone is only two weeks old and I just noticed this issue.

I am pretty bummed about it cause I just achieved root on it.

I suppose if I were to try to take it back, they would not exchange it because of it being rooted.

Any thoughts on this?

The power button is working just fine, I just do not like that it is so loose.

I did a google search and I see that some other people have reported the same issue.

Thank you,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sultan.of.swing:
Its normal, hell mine fell off one day.

I use a case so its no longer an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
Ya I think it is a pretty common problem but as long as it does not fall out then you are fine it's just one of those "build quality" issues that Samsung seems to have on all of their phones... Gotta LOVE plastic... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CKtheProblem:
Yeah its just a poorly designed button to begin with. More of it "hangs out" of the case in the back than in the front, which makes it easy to apply too much pressure to certain areas. I definitely see how snapping it off could be a very easy thing to do, so my best suggestion would be to get a case or something. If you're that worried about losing it, you could always ODIN your phone back to stock and take it back to Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Patr1ck.:
I took mine in to the verizon store, and the reps said that it was normal. I think it's just designed that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Definitely normal. My brand new one had a loose power button, and the replacement I got for a different problem, also brand new, has a loose power button.

I love my GS3 but wish it was made a little better, with higher quality materials. Like aluminum, and glass. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
Mine is loose as well. As long as it.works your fine

Even the s3 I had with sprint was loose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeg Boy:
Hello Peeps,

Thank you for weighing in on my post.

From what I have found, it is pretty common.

I have a case on my phone and I found an app for a lock screen widget, so I am trying to take it easy on my power button.

I agree, worse case scenario I can always revert back to stock and take it back.

Thank you,

There's a little wiggle to my power button and I still use it constantly during the day, usually for turning off the display before waiting on a timeout.

Power and volume buttons as tight as a drum here.

Hopefully didn't jinx anything ;)

I did return my 1st S3 due to a possible antenna issue.

That S3 had a power button that was flush with the frame of the phone, and you had to 'search' around for it to feel where it was.

This S3s power button protrudes slightly, as it should.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmb3497:
For what its worth, mines been incredibly loose since day 1. Pops off when taking my case on and off to do battery pulls sometimes. I found a site where you can order replacements for a little under 2 bucks, so I'm not worried about it (I forget what it is exactly, but its just a quick Google search away if you wanna check it out)

Do you have a suggestion for a no-frills Theme for CM7 HDPI?

I don't like most of the themes because of some small details.

Sometimes the symbols in the taskbar are not good enough readable (contrast) sometimes the buttons are too small, etc.

Do you have a suggestion for a no-frills Theme?

Do you have a suggestion for a Theme, which looks exactly like Gingerbread?

Hey all,

I have to post here for now as I am new to the forums. I just flashed Jelly Bean, but it seems that the play market is only showing me apps that are compatible with Jelly bean, which doesn't include all the apps I use regularly. So, I was wondering if there was some sort of modded play store, or something that would allow me to bypass this.

Thanks, and sorry if I seem noob-ish; I am tech savy, but not so much in the phone world. :good:

[Windows 8 General] 2minuutes:
Hi! I've got Windows 8 Pro via one of the hospitals here in Norway, and it almost works like a charm ... Some of my important tiles like the Desktop-tile and Windows Store-tile is gone. Even the Metro PC Settings is gone. When I try to open it via the Charms Bar, nothing happens. I've had a look in the Start-Menu folder under Programs, and the shortcuts are there. So I tried to find the Shortcuts in the Windows Folder, which I succeded with, but I can't copy them in there. I get a message who says that The Operation can't be done, because the file I was trying to replace is in use by another application. I've also tried to open the Shortcuts from the original folder, without success, except the PC Settings shortcut, which only opens the normal Control Panel. So it's kinda frustrating. I've made myself a shortcut to the desktop which I placed on the Metro Page, but I really want the store and settings to work. So, does anybody know how to replace those .lnk file, or have another fix that' not resetting/refreshing Windows (that would be my very last option, as I lose my settings)

Hope someone can give me some help :)
[Windows 8 General] phailyoor:
I'm assuming it's a work computer. If so, it's based on how the computer was set up by your IT department. I would contact whatever people within your organization are in charge, but they have probably set the computer up that way on purpose.
[Windows 8 General] 2minuutes:
Actually, no, it isn't a work computer. I know a guy at the hospital who work with IT, and I knew he had earlier tried the previews, so when I was at RTM, I asked him which version he had, and then, he sendt the .iso file for both 32 & 64bit versions... So it is my private computer...
[Windows 8 General] phailyoor:
That's pretty strange then. Is this a fresh install, or have you been using it for a bit?
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
This may be a simple answer but its worth asking in case you didn't think of it. Have you just unpinned them from the start menu? ie if you can launch the start screen can you type desktop or store and they come up? If so you can right click and pin to desktop.
[Windows 8 General] 2minuutes:
I upgraded from Win7, but I've only kept data. I've refreshed it one time. I've not unpinned the tiles, and they won't come up as an search result when I search for them :(
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
to be clear, when you searched for them you just tapped the win key to bring up the tiles then typed desktop?

you don't need to click or do anything other than win key and type :)
[Windows 8 General] 2minuutes:
Yup! The only thing that comes up is my self-made shortcut for showing the desktop. Very strange, I think...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] colorado_al:
I was wondering if there is a way to make my tMob SGS3 do better at seeking and maintaining a WCDMA connection?

I know I can change the Mobile Network Mode to WCDMA only, and I do sometimes.

However, when it is in Auto mode, it switches back and forth constantly between GSM and WCDMA. In my home when I force WCDMA mode it has 2-3 bars of WCDMA and it does not drop the connection. When I put it on auto, it switches back and forth every minute or 2. I flashed and tried every modem possible but the results are the same.

Is there any way, besides WCDMA only mode, that I can make my phone more aggressively seek and keep WCDMA when it is available?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Dude I feel ya. I seriously think it all started once they switched to the 1900 band for 3g. Cause when I had my HTC HD2 it was mostly 3g in my house. Now it hardly ever switches to 3g unless I force it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] colorado_al:
It works great when I switch it to WCDMA only, however I keep forgetting to switch it to GSM/WCDMA when I leave the house or work. I'm thinking of getting some TecTile NFC stickers to cause my phone to remind me to switch or maybe try to find a way to automate it with them or something.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If it sits at G or E until you start a data transfer and then jumps to 4G this is how it was originally set up to operate. The intent was to save both battery and banwidth. It was like this for me until I updated and it stopped. It was annoying so I'm glad it was changed. But if you are on either build UVALEM or UVALG1 try updating to the latest official build UVALH2.

Otherwise it may just be the tower you're connected to is under heavy load and is trying to conserve bandwidth, or it may just not be functioning correctly.

One other thing it could also be is if your area hasn't been refarmed yet. (It may be that this is what changed it for me but its been a while and I know I had updated about the same time I noticed it, so I attributed to that) the more I think about it now, if updating doesn't change its behavior, this is probably what's going on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IRIE4IPIER:
wcdma only.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] colorado_al:
Thanks. I am on UVALH2. I think the way it is supposed to be setup is to sit on UMTS while conserving bat/data and switch to HSPAP when moving data (Both WCDMA protocols). It actually has been much better today. Don;t know if the tower in my area was having issues the last few days.

I checked for NFC programs that would allow me to change my networks based on location and none have that fine level of settings.

It isn't really a problem if I switch it to WCDMA only, it's just that I forget to switch it back to both when I'm on the road and I end up missing calls.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well, I guess that answers whether it was the update that did it for me! I'm guessing it must be due to the network refarming then. Like I said, it did the same for me for a while, but I haven't had it hapoen at all for some time now.

You could look for an app that lets you create location based profiles. You can set it to be one way at home and when you leave it'll automatically change to your other settings.

I would imagine Tasker could handle this as well, but I've never used it.

Hey guys, I have a VZ Nexus on the leaked JRO03O rom. Since then, is the official JB rom came out. Is it worth upgrading? Also, is there a better rom (battery life, performance, stability) than the one I have right now? It tends to crash from time to time and booting up takes a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoorOldMoot:
I have been using AOKP build 4 with Franco kernel milestone 6 and it is buttery smooth and very, very stable. I have had literally zero issues, crashes, anything negative happen while running this ROM with the updated kernel. I highly recommend trying it out.

Using the make more space part of the settings, it showed over 3gig. I was suprised there was that much, so I deleted it. I've now gone to play music only to find that folder, Music, empty!I can but assume that was the 3 gig it cleared !it can't be right to so that?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Unfortunately, that's the way the cleanup for the data partition and SD card works. It actually asks if you want to delete files in that folder, but if you go through it too quickly you can miss it. Next time I would recommend going through the cleanup very slowly and carefully, or cancel it and do a manual cleanup of the data partition and SD card.

Hope you had them backed up somewhere else.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuttyLemonz:
That's kind of odd. Have not seen that before. Try this, download es file explorer from the play store. Bring up the menu go to manager and then hit sd card analyst. That should tell you what is taking up space.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
This is a well known issue on some other device's, the SD card becomes sort of corrupted. The "lost" space is only accessible again once a factory reset/format has been done

A bid example is the HOX, people were claming to have like 8/10GIG!!!! less than they should, this space is called "Dead Space" and the cause is yet unknown.

Your only hope is to factory reset im afraid, sorry !

Hope this helps :)

I think I've done something wrong while flashing a custom kernel.

The kernel was flashed, the phone is booting but I am unable to get into the CWM recovery. Tried button-combo and also from ROM manager but no luck. Hence I am unable to flash any roms in the forum except odin tar's!!

Careful with Odin, it will brick ur phone, but no worry many ways to get unbricked. I had to make a jig. you can order one, same price either way, just if you make one check the ohms, needs to be 301k resistance.
