It is perfectly logical. I realize that you are blinded by your Apple bias but the ipad 3 to ipad 4 situation is completely different compared to the situations that you just mentioned. First, the One X to the One X + and the Tab 2 10.1 to the Note 10.1 are not full fledged sequels like the ipad 4 is. That alone makes all the difference in the world. If the One X + was the One X2 and the Note 10.1 was the Tab 3 10.1, then you would have a point. As it stands, you do not have a point at all and are just making irrational justifications for your preferred company Apple.

Second, the One X + is an overclocked One X and the Tab 2 10.1 and Note 10.1 are not even in the same product category. The Tab 2 10.1 is a budget tablet and the Note 10.1 is a productivity tablet. How that makes those situations worse than the Apple one is beyond me. In fact, it is totally laughable that you truly believe that it is worse. LOL. For example, Samsung releasing the Galaxy S3 four months after releasing the Galaxy W is in no way similar to the ipad 4 situation and definitely not worse. ROFL.

The equivalent of what Apple did would be if Google released a Nexus 10 part 2 four months later with a new charging port, a quad core A15 Exynos, and the newest ARM Mali gpu for $399. Of course, Google would never be arrogant enough to do that to their Nexus 10 customers and Android fans would never defend that like you are defending it but you get the point, I hope.

Do you have any proof that the GS3 has higher profit margins than the iphone 5? No? I thought so. Although I believe that there is proof that Samsung spent a lot more in the GS3 research and development than Apple does with the iphone 5. In fact, Apple spends less in R&D than any of the other big companies even when they have a 100 billion in the bank, which is another CLEAR indicator of them raping their customers like you quite hard.

We shouldn't worry about lawsuits? LOL. You are quite pathetic and sad with your Apple defending. Of course we should worry about lawsuits. If a company loses 1 billion dollars in lawsuits for no reason, that has a direct effect on how much money they spend on r&d, product development, and marketing. That is not even getting into the potential of features being stripped from products that you purchased like the universal search function that was stripped form the Galaxy Nexus. Lawsuits hurt the industry, plain and simple.

If you want to talk about uninformed arguments, just look at your last post. That was saddest display of bias towards one company that I have ever seen in my life and I have seen a lot of bias. If you feel that reporting me for pointing out how biased you are is your best strategy, then do it. That still doesn't change the fact that I exposed your biases quite easily with some perfectly logical statements.
[Nexus 10 General] surfboard3r:
For me the hardware difference (I havnt actually held the n10 yet) doesn't appear to be that large anymore. The screen is better so really the only thing in terms of hardware/build quality is the metal back of the iPad versus some type of plastic back on the n10 . Personally, a plastic back seems more durable because it will have more give it were dropped than aluminum and it probably won't show scratches as easily. I like the fact that there are front speakers on the n10 because I just returned my tf700 and I was constantly covering the speaker with my hand on accident. But, in the end it comes down to which OS you prefer... do you want something that you have very little choice on customization or something that can be tweaked to exactly how you want it. And that is why I like the android devices. The whole apps argument isn't very important to me because the apps that I do use on android are free and the market has the apps that I want .
[Nexus 10 General] Hemlocke:
My "Apple bias," as you call it, is nothing more than discernment. I don't accept anything just because it has a certain name or brand on it. The guy who called the SGS3 the most beautiful smartphone on the market, when it has been universally panned for its build quality and materials, need look no further than his bathroom mirror for "bias." I've owned two i9300's, and while the garnet one looked nice, they were both still cheaply made and far from beautiful. Great phones? Yep, they are. Beautiful? That's a stretch.

As for the rest, the word logic obviously doesn't mean what you think it does. Come back to me when you have owned more than one or two devices.

[Nexus 10 General] osi13:
I'm not buying a tablet for a couple more years, and I think industry will be quite different in two years time. I have a Nexus 7, and there is an iPad 3 in my household. The iPad has a great screen, but I just don't see the allure. The Nexus 7, while portable, and nice for web browsing, is already lagging on newer games. I'd much rather use my phone, or desktop, to perform the same tasks I would on a tablet, but that's my opinion. I don't use notebooks anymore. My 2008 Macbook Pro, which I received for free, collects dust in the corner of my room, and runs extremely hot when it does get used.

I realize a desktop is not portable, but the tablets I have rarely leave my house. I paid $400, almost 3 years ago, for a decent motherboard, CPU, high end GPU, and 4GB memory, when memory was expensive. I had a nice power supply (I don't cheap out on these), WUXGA display, and case laying around. Recently, I upgraded to a 128GB SATA3 SSD ($70), and 4GB more of memory ($30). I bought two hard drives, over time, when I saw an amazing deal: a 2TB hard drive ($65), and a 1TB hard drive ($50). So, my cost, minus the $300 TN WUXGA monitor, is slightly more than an iPad 4. I know for a fact that I'll get another 3-5 years out of this hardware, and I can currently play most games I throw at it. The iPad 4 and Nexus 10 will be superseded in 2 years, and will be almost unusable. I realize my situation is not ideal for most people, but ARM technology is growing rapidly, and to keep up, you need to keep buying disposable hardware. I see no reason to shell out $400+ for a device that will inevitably be obsolete in 6-24 months. Hell, I used the same P4 desktop for close to 7 years.

All of my ARM based devices are essentially obsolete. All of my phones, my tablet, everything. While I don't mind upgrading my phone once a year, I don't think I should have to upgrade my tablet once a year. I'm going to pass on all tablets for a long time. I'm not trying to be a fanboy, but the iPad mini is just laughable. One can buy a decent laptop for that price. I bought an awesome Lenovo Y450 years ago for $350, and sold it for the same price 2 years later.

[comparing desktop's longevity to tablet's]

You realize you're on an early adopter's forum, where most posting traffic is from peeps champing at the bit to buy a new toy on day 0?

There's no need to justify your view, just as there's no possibility to reconcile it with those here. Maybe you're looking for an ear to bend, or to get a sounding. Let'd go with that.

Tablets are still a luxury--a convenience--rather than a necessity. While Internet access is now an essential, a desktop is just as capable as a laptop or a tablet for home use--it's just more inconvenient to use. If you want to stay with your desktop and forgo the new toys, there's nothing wrong with that.

>the iPad mini is just laughable. One can buy a decent laptop for that price

Disagree on this. Certain uses remain relatively unchanged over time, and resist the normal rate of obsolescence. Reading books and browsing web sites are two. The underlying formats may change, but as long as the OS/software can be updated, the hardware would still be capable for a long time. The iPad Mini, along with N7 and similar-sized tabs, will be useful for a long time, if nothing else as a web browser/book reader. Those uses won't be obsoleted.

And if you view an item as lasting over a period of years, then the price premium of an iPad Mini becomes trivial, especially if taking into account its advantages. It comes down to what you want, rather than what the price is.

Tips for N10 buyers:

. To improve charging time, try a 15W USB charger.

http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Charger-KeyBoard-Samsung-included/dp/B0091XIUKY/

. Walmart buyers get extended holiday returns. Deadline for returning an N10 is Jan 10, 2013.

[Nexus 10 General] osi13:
Wat? This statement makes zero sense.

They're a luxury, and since using numerous tablets, I find a desktop to be much more convenient. You're right, tablets are toys.

My desktop/notebook will be 100% usable in 2 years, and my tablet will be severely lagging behind. I'm mad that my Nexus 7 cannot play Guts and Gears without lag, even if it's overclocked. I didn't buy a tablet for pdf files and the browser. Tablets in 2012 will not be relevant after a few years, or less. The GPU is literally the only thing that matters. The iPad mini is behind by a long shot. Its graphics are comparable to the N7, and the mini is only pushing 1024x768. I sold my $99 Touchpad because of that terrible resolution.
[Nexus 10 General] RaptorMD:
Sold my iPad3 already so my cash was on hand. I was too stupid to hold off for a physical unit to play with and now they are all sold out and no physical units for another month or more to get one. This sucks, but I am waiting. eBay prices are TOO HIGH.

No, this is not one of the usual 'What's the best ROM out there' threads.

I am looking for something specific and hoping all you people can be of help.

I have been using a MIUI NAND ROM for some time now and been very happy with it but am now looking for a change with all the new stuff I see out there.

However, one of the reasons I am using the MIUI ROM is that it was one of the few at the time that supported WiFi Hotspot. The Gingerbread ROMs at the time didn't work.

Do any of the newer ICS ROM's support Hotspot working? If so, which ones have people used. I would perhaps like a move back to a Sense ROM if there is one our there to recommend, but this isn't a prime requirement.

Before you all shout at me, I have looked through the current threads on ROM's, but the issue of working Hotspot is not one that crops up very often, hence this question.

Thanks for reading, and looking forward to all your recommendations ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:

I basically got stuck with 2 (/3)

PACman HD2 v1.1 [PA/AOKP/CM10] Xylo <--my new favourite, from what I read

(EvoHD2v10 ICS 4.0.4-full HWA "Fastest ICS ever" ) <--whats with good old ICS?

convince me. I want a stable running daily use OS. shouldnt have major bugs (like reboots/having to restart/phone etc.), like in tytungs ROM, I once answered a call and there was just a "brrrrrrrrrrrrrr" <--"phone" not responding do you want to close it, pretty bad

If its very customizable/technical (like xylo) - fine, I love to be able to engineer my own things (I dont care if minor bugs)

so what do you guys think? which one do you enjoy the most and why

It isn't possible to use autopatcher on Stock ROMs. You could probably patch it manually yourself, but it's a hell of a lot of work.

Last night I turned my HOX off with about 20% battery left so that I would have some left in the morning. When I tried to turn it back on in the morning I found it was flat and too a full 10 mins connected to a charger before the red light came on. When I powered it up it had lost the date/time too but this was less of an issue as it resynchronised a few minutes later..

My question is why would it drain like that turned off, surely the ROM / Kernel wouldn't even be running? I am on Hboot 0.43 maybe that is at fault but I'm sure it hasn't done this before I installed the latest custom ROM I have now.

Maybe you guys will know what could cause this drain?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] venturion:
Hey guys,

I installed Switzerland Generic ROM on my Xperia S a while ago before ICS was available in my region, doing this I realized it wouldn't pick up any network when I was abroad, when under normal circumstances it would.

So I tried restoring it to the default firmware eventually, and I could only find a generic UK version which wasn't the same SI number as my own. Mine is 1257-3114.

Since then my phone has become very slow and takes a while loading up things like the home screen, the browser etc.

So I tried repairing it using the Sony PC Companion, however that believes I'm running custom firmware. What I want to be able to do is to just restore it to the stock firmware for my model in my region, which I haven't been able to find. Even Gingerbread is fine, as long as Sony PC Companion lets me upgrade it! I believe my current build number is 6.1.A.0.453

Many Thanks,

Adam

[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
First you should check that you even need tun.ko built as a module. According to the defconfig in the source code, tun is already built into the actual kernel itself

1107 CONFIG_TUN=y

Also if you are going to root (which you will have to do anyway, to flash the new kernel you plan to make with the tun.ko) you might find it easier to use a kernel where this is already configured.

2) Extract the root of drive C

3) Connect to the computer IS in charge mode enabled mode "debug USB" (!).

4) At the command prompt, go to the folder with the files from the archive: cd c: \ 4EXT

5) At the command prompt, enter the adb reboot bootloader

6) The phone will reboot into bootloader

7) At the command prompt, enter the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

8) Modified Recovery please!

9) In the root of the card copy the file Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed

10) Hold the power button and volume down

11) In the menu, select the item Recovery - phone will reboot into a modified Recovery

12) Select Install Zip and set Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed

I only use Superuser-3.1.3.

But in the end of this instructions are strings "You get Root. But You cannot to flash custom biulds - you should lower version HBOOT!"
