[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarzanman:
I am selling my T-mobile Galaxy Tab (the original) to a coworker.

The original plan was to buy a Nexus 7, but after reading about it I learned that it:

1. Doesn't have a rear camera

2. Doesn't have TV-out

3. Doesn't hardware decode DivX/mkv

So now I am torn between the Galaxy Tab 2 7" and the Nexus 7.

My problems with the Galaxy Tab 2 7" are:

1. It doesn't have as nice a resolution/screen

2. Proprietary connector

The TV out is what really bugs me....but I am not sure if Tab to Tab 2 is a big enough jump

Anyone have any advice?

The most useful I've found is STILL the original Tab7 once CM10 put on it (well Humberos's rom to make it TabletUI).

Ok, the newer games aren't available, but for day to day actual using it, the apps/flexibility/sd-card storage/camera, it's been hard to beat.

Perhaps the Nexus7 for tablet/gaming, and a reasonable phone that'll let you bluetooth tether? One with a decent camera in?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedjaiHN:
If tv out and a rear camera are crucial to you, then get the Tab.

But performance wise the N7 is leaps ahead, the Tegra processor is gritty like a Corvette :)

I too was torn between getting the nexus 7 or galaxy tab 2 I ended up going with the nexus and have no regrets.this thing is awesome. Screen is amazing, the ability to use it as a phone,I text and call my using my nexus all the time.plus with usb otg, storage is not an issue. My g2x has the ability to hdmi out to the tv so watching content via android device to tv is not an issue for me. And it's freaking fast!!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyg0nz:
I was facing a similar dilemma when deciding on a 7" replacement for my trusty SGT7. To cut the long story short, my eventual decision was the iPad mini. Before you guys commence the flaming, allow me to list down my considerations.

1) Rear Camera

I work in an environment that prohibits camera phones. As such, my primary device (phone) is not equipped with any cameras and it is therefore important for me that my secondary device (tablet) comes with a decent camera, since it would be my only camera on the go. Of the current crop of 7 inchers, the Nexus 7, Nooks and Kindles all fail to hit this mark. The Galaxy Tab 2 has a reasonably decent rear camera so that stayed in contention. As for the iPad mini, its rear camera is probably the best of the lot and that factored heavily in my consideration.

2) Official Software Updates

Frankly, I'm still rather miffed with Samsung's poor software updates for the SGT7. Cutting official major software updates for a one year old device does not inspire much confidence in their subsequent products. Apple, on the other hand, continue to offer major software updates for their products in the 2nd and even 3rd year of their lifecycle (case in point: the iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS). The Nexus 7 would have been my go to device on the Android platform, since I'm confident that Google will continue to support the device for years to come, but alas, it doesn't meet my requirement for rear camera.

3) Proprietary Connectors

Both Samsung and Apple have their own proprietary connectors. However, only Samsung's connector is a constant source of frustration for me. I cannot fathom why the SGT7 does not charge with generic usb chargers, without a 3rd party adapter. I was on an overseas trip recently and it skipped my mind to bring along the adapter. As a result, I had no means to charge my SGT7 throughout the entire trip using the usb charger in the rented vehicle. The same usb charger could charge an iPad with no problems. Moreover, there are plenty of 3rd party products that support Apple's connector (e.g. radio docks, external power banks, etc) but I've not seen a single one that supports Samsung's.

Of course, the iPad mini's dated guts and last gen screen leaves it trailing the competition, but the smooth user experience and arsenal of tablet optimized apps still outweighs the negatives for me. Best of all, I could still hold on to the SGT7 for some Android love as long as it doesn't die on me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
Similar position here. Decided to go with the N7. I can live without the rear camera, and I will also get much better hardware overall compared with the Tab2. Seriously, I used the Tab in store and it lags so much. Neuxs 7 just flies.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarzanman:
I ended up buying a 32GB Nexus 7. MX Player Pro is a decent substitute for all of the native playback options that the Galaxy Tab comes with.... but it is REALLY nice not having to lug around and keep track of my one data cable.

Also, i pushed 4.2 on there via adb sideload yesterday.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LowaEastSide:
yup, yup.

i agree, the SGT7 its a all in one device, movies, tv out, apps + gaming in HD, calling, texting, social networking, skyping for free + video chatting, google internet, and the icing on the cake for me is once i got rid of tmobiles security page my device runs like a regulare phone, so all i pay is $30 a month (us) for unlimited 4g internet, unlimited texting, and 100mnts talk. So i just opened a skype account and pay $18 every 3 months for unlimited talk. So the galaxy tab 7 running cm10 is super fast for me on tmobiles 4g network. Its a no brainer.. lol.. hope this helps... my regards to all, especially:D all the great DEVS out there keeping our P1000 still ahead of the game ..!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirzAzea:
I would certainly go ahead and pick Nexus 7 because of the hardware and the price :) its the next gen with a low price tag. Yes I admit. The back camera might be an essential to some but not to all. And the galaxy tab 2 camera is not that "outstanding" either. You could save up and buy a dslr or something.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
If I had to choose, I would pick the N7 (that's what I already did). But my sons P100 has CM10 which makes it more directly comparable to the N7 and outside of 3D gaming, there isn't much of a difference speed wise.

Considering the N7 came out a while ago... I would assume they would be releasing another 7" tablet within a few months. The 7" tablet has been their most successful and they have the upper hand on Apple for a while. If Google can keep the lead and stay ahead of the ipad Mini, it'll constantly be a good success.

That said, if you can make due with the GTab a few more months, you'll likely see a new Google 7" tab with the faster S4 snapdragon and a higher resolution screen.

Galaxy Tab 2 7" and 10.1" can be bought for under £150 now. Its a steal. However, no 3G version though, if you could love without that.

Worth a sacrifice though, looking at the amazing price.

LG Viper 4G LTE MSID and other functions Corrupt

I have a LG Viper, and a few days ago it lost all Wireless connections to Sprint. I went into manual programming mode, and the MSID was gone and only '00000000', so I attempted to change it back. The settings will not save, and sometimes the phone will not even go into the programming mode. There is significant delays even entering in numbers on the keypad, so it seems like the modem or ???? is really screweed up. I used the LD tools and reflashed the 4.0 image to no avail, and then I flashed the 2.3 image with the same result. Is there a seperate modem / dadio flash that might correct the corruption or is this a hardware problem? Everything else on the phone works, except for the dialing and texting - anything involving use of the radio / modem.

ANy suggestions that might help get this going are welcome.

It will prob work as is, but you could also potentially achieve faster data speeds by flashing other modems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ofsinreno:
You have to flash both the modem and Radio for T-mobile. I believe if you are flashing a Tmobile Rom then the modem is included but that's the tricky part- I never found a reliable modem/radio combination on the T-mobile Rom that gave me the consistency of the AT&T Roms. Also, I noticed that frequently I would have to wait for a few minutes after flashing something new before I would get mobile signal.

After flashing the Tmobile Rom the last time I lost the ability to return to AT&T Roms. I would flash and flash and still get no carrier signal. I had to revert back completely to stock- unroot and start over. Luckily this is VERY easy using Odin. Maybe you should try this and start over.

Here are direct photo comparisons between different phones and the Lumia 920. The is part of a CNET review for the US version in their US office, which is more favorable of the camera.

And more direct comparison picks from Slashgear

http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-lumia-920-pureview-camera-hands-on-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-01255193/

Frankly I can't decide whether this camera is good or bad based on these pictures. It wins some, but not by much. It can lose pretty bad though, especially with how unsharp and vague a lot of images look. It's not the winner Nokia was touting. Indoor shots are better in some instances, worse in others. Night shots are "brighter" but not necessarily better. I can edit the photos of a competing phone by turning up the gamma and get close to the same thing that Nokia produces. The smooth video also isn't as great as I once thought. It makes me nauseous, and details are still very lacking even if there isn't any major instances of blur.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Yakkaimono:
The reviews on the phone are contradicting. The verge review shows great pictures, much better than cnet's or slashgears and their unit is not even on final software. The camera performance just doesn't seem consistant.

Well I'll judge myself when I get mine next week.

One of the things I want to be able to do with the Nexus 4 is make memos or notes to myself using hand writting. Does anyone see any reason why the Nexus 4 would not be able to do this?

BTW I have a GNote10.1 with the S-Pen and know the Nexus 4 does not come with a pen but I think a finger or scribe should work.

You should be able to find an app that does this, or something similar. As far as I'm aware, however, there is no native/pre-installed app that supports this. Not on any of the Android phones I've played around with at least, apart from the Note smartphones, of course.

Nope! No problem at all. You should have no problem at all reading text files (.doc, .docx, .txt, etc) on your Android device. Particularly with something like OpenOffice.

It should do! Most other Android phones do, they just complain that there's no SIM card. :P It'll work as an Android-equivalent of an iPod Touch, basically. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ccunningham83:
My friend got a Skyrocket for free from a friend. He gave it to me to put a custom ROM on it. It is currently on Gingerbread 2.3.6. I started looking into it only to find it is already rooted with clockwork mod on it. Everything would be easy from here I thought. Well, I connected it to my computer to copy over the new ROM files only to find it will never connect as mass storage, only charge. The phone beeps like it connected, but never gives the option to connect as mass storage. No big deal, I'll just put it on the SD card and flash from clockwork mod. Well, clockwork mod doesn't see the external SD card, only the internal. I tried to copy the files from the external SD to internal storage using OI file manager on the phone, but the phone doesn't see the external SD. I tried to download directly to the phone using internal storage, but every download starts and immediately fails, giving me the message download unsuccessful.

From here I just wanted to set the phone to stock and start from scratch. I made sure I had the drivers installed from Samsung, then I downloaded the files and fired up ODIN. Well Odin doesn't recognize the device (like it's never connected). I tried downloading Samsung Kies, but it doesn't recognize the device either. Everything on he phone functions perfectly normal, I can reboot into recovery and download mode just fine. It is just I can't access the storage of the device and the computer doesn't recognize it.

I really want to get this device off of gingerbread for my friend, I just can't figure out how to get it done.

I have tried accessing the phone using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and Ubuntu 12.10. Doesn't matter, no access to the storage.

Hi-

I am getting a bit desperate so I was hoping someone could answer my question ASAP. I need to return my Infinity to Best Buy for a exchange because my headphone jack is broken . I called them and they said since the tablet was purchased less than 5 days ago they would just exchange it for another one. so I'm in a hurry to get this done. my only problem is that I have unlocked the device and installed a custom ROM. I do understand I cannot relock the device, so I am NOT asking for help about that.

My question is what ROM can I flash that would make my TF700 Infinity look stock again.

1) Please give me the name of a stock rom or a link since i can't seem to locate exactly what I'm looking for.

2) Please tell me how I can remove TWRP and replace it with the ASUS stock recovery.

Even if you can only help me with 1 of my 2 questions please reply ! I have helped so many people on xda .... please someone advise me :good:

This is my current set up. Transformer Infinity TF700T

Unlocked: ( via ASUS utility )

Software Updated via ASUS: V10.4.4.18 (Official JellyBean 4.1.1)

Custom Rom Installed: Baked Black Bean 6 [JB 4.1.2]

Recovery: TWRP v2.2.2.3

ROM: Stock ICS or JB

Recovery: Stock / remove TWRP

[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
I'm pretty sure that at most Best Buys, they don't check for stock OS (unless the person checking REALLY knows what he/she is doing). When I returned my Prime to Best Buy, they didn't even turn it on. I think it'd be very rare for the person at the customer support counter to know exactly how a stock TF700 looks like.

I personally am locked and stock, but from what I've read online CleanROM looks pretty stock. (others can comment on this, I've never used it before).

If you can't flash another rom, try reverting to the stock Launcher, or install another launcher that looks just like the stock one. If they check anything they will just check to see if it turns on, and check to see that your headphone jack is indeed broken. Although when I returned my Prime for a faulty camera they didn't even check it.

So I'd say it would be safe to just bring it up to the customer support counter with your receipt, and everything in the box and return it.

2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop

3)Rename the file to something like "recover.zip" uploade it to the root of your MicroSD card

4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER together for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 10 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP

5) From the recovery menu press Install and select the "recover.zip" file ...wait until the install process ends and then restart your device.
