[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrghushakaboorga:
I saw a thread somewhere that Verizon WAS giving out new phones for Thunderbolts. Maybe if you flash it to stock and complain about reboots etc which they can't prove out. Personally, I'm still relatively happy with the community for providing awesome ROMs, though it would be nice if they had good source to work from.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
They was giving out other phones awhile back because they had no cln bolts as replacement. They don't do that now unless you have replaced like 5 to 7 bolts in a period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xannax2780:
So, over the weekend, I dropped my Galaxy Nexus. The screen shattered. It still turns on though. What I'm trying to do is use Android Screencast to remove my Battle.net authenticator so that I can log into my World of Warcraft account. I understand how to do this, the issue is that I don't have USB debugging enabled on the device, so the phone isn't showing up when I do "adb devices." Is anyone able to offer up any advice? Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xannax2780:
Resolved.

Nevermind, I got it working. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortal300:
How did you get this working?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Shamoy:
I have a lg g2x and I want to replace the display with a 1280x720p lcd display. Will I need a new digitizer. Will it work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khanh1289:
no
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
No. The chipset is not programmed for that output even if it could put out that resolution.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Shamoy:
Response

Is there any physical or software based way to get around this or should I just get a new phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Buy a new phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tootone:
Well, yes it is possible. You could probably either pay LG millions to do it for you. Or get your research and development team to do it for you. I can't imagine it taking more then a few hundred thousand in that situation. Don't worry though, I bet the 20/30 people still trolling the G2X forums would love to pay you a couple bucks to help you along!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bashworth:
this would have stopped me from going back to samsung and getting a sgs, it would be nice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STVERDI:
So I see there is a JB leak out for us, I also checked the radio post over at RootzWiki, now, my question is, with that installed and any JB rom does that mean there will be no more data drops?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Time will tell. Flash and report back. I've been running since it's drop and have not noticed anything significant yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I've been running it since it dropped as well and haven't noticed any issues. But i'll let you know more tomorrow after i take it for a full days spin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loldi:
Second this. Been running it and haven't noticed any data problems so far. True test will be at work tomorrow where my data usually gives out on the JB roms so we will see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STVERDI:
I'll flash the new liquid smooth tonight and text it out as well, thanks guys! I'll report back once I have had a full day of use :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sonser:
I flashed the stock jb rom leak deodexed last night and had the HRE radio... then decided to flash the leaked radio. I like it. In Denver. Good 4g and as you can see the speed tests were better. 3 newest speed tests were with new radio. 3 tests under that were the HRE radio. Within minutes. Same spot. Getting great battery life. So far two thumbs up from this guy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Just an update, my data stayed strong all day today even at work and the gym where i usually get data drops but it held its own today :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dr12volt1338:
Seems about the same for me in my area... I am in town with a good signal.. Did notice a little better upload speed... Can't say for sure it is just the radio and nothing else but will keep updating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STVERDI:
Getting LS RC7 downloaded now, will report back when I have information on the data!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chindoo:
Hi guys, Sorry to bring you my phone troubles but It seems I have smoked my phone and you are the best source of knowledge I know of.

I have had a nexus s (gsm) [i9020a] model for a year and recently rooted it. Then I installed system tuner and overclocked it. It was fine until I got an OTA update (to 4.1.2 ) two days ago. I should have known not to accept the update after a root but I did. Since then I keep getting freeze phone into the X graphics you usually get when you boot up. So today I further juiced it up using System |Tuner, uping values I had no ideas about Soon there after I got another crash, and lock and this time when i pulled the battery and replaced it, nothing comes up. Dark! . No power or any sign of activity with or without charger. Have I totally ruined the phone? Anything I can do?

Thanks for your help .
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alen1901:
You can if you use too high oc with high voltage, for a longer period, like in months. I wouldnt say that caused your phone to die but it could be your phone couldnt take the oc at all.

Sent from SpeedMachine i9023
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Overclocking will rarely break any hardware.

Increasing the voltage though is playing with fire.

Nevertheless, I believe what killed your Nexus S is the famous battery pull. You wouldn't be the only person that has killed their phone doing this, you can look around the forums...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conclusion:
I've taken pictures with the S3 and it's stored in internal memory, how do I transfer the pictures to my computer without using Samsung Kies?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Connect using usb. You should be able to access both sd cards from my computer.

Card for external, Phone for internal.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
ACtually you don't need KIES at all, and in my opinion, you shouldn`t even have it installed.

In order for xcly's suggestion to work (which is the proper method, btw), you need to have the drivers for the phone installed.

There are 2 ways to get that:

1) Uninstall KIES. It will ask you if you want to leave the drivers installed. Do so.

2) If completely uninstallaed KIES & drivers or never installed them, you can install the drivers only package from here:

http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows

With these drivers you'll be able to connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable and use Windows Explorer to copy files to/from the phone easily.

Another much slower choice is to use Bluetooth.

Review of N4 and N10 are out on Engadget, and we know Google is very good at making us disapointed at benchmark and battery life,

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-10-review/

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/

When I saw N4 is noticeably worse than Optimus G, I hope 4.1 version of these device will be release soon.

[Nexus 10 General] Buck1969:
That Engadget review has me a bit on the fence. I'd been leaning strongly toward the TF700 and was set to buy when the Nexus 10 was announced. I was convinced that the N10 was the way to go after reading the first impressions, but seeing how underwhelmed the reviewer was (plus the mediocre battery life) has me again thinking Asus. Guess I'll wait for the next few reviews before making a decision.
[Nexus 10 General] cc2ee:
I want to see a comparison of the I/O benchmarks. The terrible I/O of the Transformer series made me shy away from that, especially when the N10 was announced.
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
CNet points out that they tested a presale version, and most likely all of them did, as release is a couple of weeks away. That could put performance and battery issues in perspective, so maybe rather than these Nexus devices being rushed, the test models are rushed by Google, let me see how the Nexus 10 performs out of the box.
[Nexus 10 General] hot_spare:
All reviews are on pre-release version. Engadget/Verge/CNET everything is running pre-release software. There will be a software update on 13th.

Also, the Chrome was just updated to support N4 and N10 yesterday.

http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.in/2012/11/chrome-for-android-update.html

The benchmarks are totally whacked now for both N4 and N10. They are much poor compared to even some older SoC. I am sure there will be some significant update on the way.
[Nexus 10 General] Buck1969:
I saw that after I made my post - and had the same reaction as did you. Regardless, I've waited this long to formally jump into the tablet market, a couple more weeks won't kill me.
[Nexus 10 General] Keion:
Let me put things into perspective for you. The GPU of the nexus 10 is 2-4x as powerful as the one in the tf700.

The CPU is comparable.
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Exactly. The new Chromebook wipes the floor with competition using the same HW, so either Sammy and Google optimizes the Nexus 10 for the official release (SW upgrade coming before that) or in the upcoming weeks, one way or another, the beast is going to be released.
[Nexus 10 General] g1xx3r:
Another one..

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/02/initial-impressions-of-the-nexus-10-say-hello-to-the-new-benchmark-for-10-android-tablets/
[Nexus 10 General] e.mote:
N10 (p)reviews are mixed. One universal criticism is few tab apps, which I suppose is easier to overlook for a 7" than a 10". CNet pointed out the slow charging, slow enough that N10 *discharges* while playing a game (that's pretty bad). It also pointed out that a magnetic pogo charger is supposed to be coming.

The super-hi-res screen is probably not getting the buzz Goog wants for it. Most reviews say it's "as good as" iPad's Retina. IMO anything higher than 1080p on a 10" is getting diminishing returns, and the 2560x1600 res arguably make things worse, since it takes more battery and CPU/GPU power to push all those pix around.

Exynos5 benchmarks are also mixed. Being the first Cortex-A15, it's not a clear performance leader that one would've been led to believe.

Some 4.2 features weren't reviewed, since it's not final. No multi user accts, Miracast.

Unlike the N4 and N7, N10's $399 starting price is typical for 10" and isn't an attention grabber.

IMO, Goog would've been better served by not going with bleeding-edge SoC and display, but something more modest, like 1080p and quad-Snapdragon, and keeping the price down to $300-350, like what Amazon is doing with the KFHD 8.9. That would've helped pushed more sales. As they stand in the reviews, the 2560 screen is a wash, as is the SoC.

Anyway, N10 is a good start. Hopefully, it'll help build out the eco and push the platform forward.
[Nexus 10 General] JamesRC:
I wouldn't worry to much about the benchies - pretty sure we'll see better performance on release, looks like there is untapped potential in both the N10 and the N4, looking at these reviews.

Real measure for me is I/O performance, else I may still get a TF700.
[Nexus 10 General] cc2ee:
Well the TF700 I/O benches are abysmal, I doubt the N10 could be worse
[Nexus 10 General] Semantics:
What worries me in the reviews are reports that the charger is way underpowered. It takes forever to charge, and the AC charge isn't powerful enough to charge the tablet while gaming or watching video. That's a bummer. I'm getting over the tacky looking bezel, but if takes all night to charge and still discharges while plugged in, its a big fail on Samsung/Google.
[Nexus 10 General] James-NC:
The charging thing is a pretty big issue.Shorter battery life is one thing but slow or no charging makes it much worse.I don't take much stock in early benchmark reviews on a pre-release unit but charging is a hardware problem that sounds like can only be fixed by buying optional pogo chargers.If they are as slow to come out with accessories with the 10 as they have with the N7 you might not even be able to get a charger for it.That would/could be a deal breaker.:(
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
Question to Google, if not ready, why not wait a few weeks? Apple fans laughing at Android 4.2 mostly because of Chrome, its occasional lag and poor performance. The browser is the window to the soul of a smartphone / tablet, I wonder how the reviews would have read if AOSP browser was installed, more OMGs probably. Even if it gets a big updates, those reviews are done and out on the net for everrrrr, people read them and move on, forever thinking that N10 / N7 aren't that hot.

The fact that Chrome Android is still stuck on v18, and performs lower than Google's own open-source Chromium makes you question how the Head of Chrome development keeps their job, pictures of sheep and senior Google execs come to mind.
[Nexus 10 General] e.mote:
>why not wait a few weeks?

Because shipping/marketing schedules can't wait for software delays. Note how every major product announced is being squeezed into these few weeks in Nov, and that's to make the holiday shopping season.

As for 4.2 not being ready, you haven't seen the horror that is Surface RT (Windows RT). Cripes, talk about a Touchpad sequel.
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
Retail is not my area, however the advantage of the N4 & N10 is that they are sold mostly through the Play Store, a couple of week delay in seeding devices to reviewers, would not have stopped Google having the device in retail for the later half of November. IMO, a shorter delay between announcement and retail would have been better.

Ultimately, it is Google's responsibility to project manage their products to a ensure good hardware / software symbiosis . With a dominant rival such as the iPad, any mistakes are costly.

4.2 is no doubt a great OS, I really enjoy 4.1.2, my main point is that a browser is an important part of any mobile ecosystem, Chrome having a period, makes the rest of 4.2 look less impressive.
[Nexus 10 General] e.mote:
The Play Store isn't the place to be for high-volume retail action. Normal peeps (who don't religiously follow tech happenings) tend to want hands-on test before they commit, especially when the toy reaches into the $400-500 range.

>Ultimately, it is Google's responsibility to project manage their products to a ensure good hardware / software symbiosis

I don't think another two weeks would measurably improve benchmarks. At some point ya gotta ship, and Nov is the drop-dead date to make holiday shopping.

It is what it is. N10 isn't the equal of iPad, but it is what the reviews said, which is the best of the 10" Androids to date. Hopefully it is enough to get devs to pay more attention to tab apps. That's what matters, not the fanboy "gotta beat iPad" argument. Nobody is going to beat the iPad this year, but there is always next year. Android has come along much faster than iOS, and let's hope Goog learns as quickly on the hardware front.

The takeaway from the N10 that I hope Goog will pick up is that specs isn't the end-all, and other things matter more. N7's popularity isn't because of its awesome specs, but that it has a great price combined with good hardware. Price will always be Apple's weakness, and Goog got away from that in chasing after the latest specs. Peeps don't care about specs. Ipad2 sales were still strong, and iPad3 sales were below expectations.

That, and looks matter. N10 doesn't look good.
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Neither of you are wrong, it just shows that Google was caught between two worlds: with Sandy cancelling the big media event, they HAD TO send out the pre-release devices for reviewing so they make headlines, but they also did so with limited performance. I guess they took a page out of Apple's "no such thing as bad press" book, THEY TALK ABOUT NEXUS 4 AND 10, PERIOD, and at the end of that day I don't think 20% of all buyers give a damn about benchmarks. We of course do and can't wait to see the release performance, but it may take a month or so before the beast of the S4 Pro and Exynos 5 is released.

As for screen leakage on a limited numbers of devices, I guess being rushed never helps, I see no reason to pick up the first batch of shipments, Christmas or January-February will give me good look on the tablet market, but where I'm sitting now, at $400 the Nexus 10 still looks the best choice, and with the 64GB surely coming, that's what the 32GB unit will cost.
[Nexus 10 General] whoster69:
I wouldn't be too worried about this one review. There is a firestorm going on over at Engadget over this review. The reviewer for the Nexus 10 nitpicked it and then fawned over the iPad mini when he reviewed it. Several people pointed out some of the flaws in the review and pointed to evidence in other reviews that showed strong bias, but their posts were deleted by Engadget.

Reading all the reviews and looking for trends would probably produce more accurate results. For example, many of the reviews have said the camera isn't that great.

The lack of memory expansion is the biggest drawback to me about the Nexus 10. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy one when it comes out, but I'm going to wait until actual shipping units are reviewed to see what differences there are and what real users think of the device, so I'll probably be a few weeks behind early adopters.
[Nexus 10 General] skibadee:
Engadget have always had a huge apple bias. I won't ever take their reviews seriously, as bad as the the BBC for Apple lovin
[Nexus 10 General] Toyeboy:
The gpu benchmarks I've seen thus far have confirmed my fear of the crazy resolution eating the Mali 604's performance. On a 10 inch display 1080p would have been a much better choice or even 2048x1152 ... all of the power of the Mali 604 is being wasted on an overkill resolution. The iPad 4 has less pixels and a superior gpu on top of that so it's a big step ahead now.

this article is very much my point of view on the Nexus 10. http://www.extremetech.com/computin...ometimes-its-possible-to-have-too-many-pixels

Yes I agree too many pixels.
[Nexus 10 General] Orbiting234:
So true that it isn't even funny. I enjoy Engadget as a whole but man, the bias exhibited by them is very frustrating.
[Nexus 10 General] Techie2012:
The verge new new review is more positive than most others. doesn't say anything about the screen being dim or washed out. there is hope!!!!

http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/2/3589170/google-nexus-10-review
[Nexus 10 General] whoster69:
Well I'm done with Engadget. I won't be going back. Any site that deletes posts that raise legitimate questions is fraudulent at the very least. This is just totally wrong of them and I won't support this. This isn't an Android versus Apple issue. It's an issue of integrity. In my opinion Engadget doesn't have any.
[Nexus 10 General] demandarin:
Exactly. Best indicator for battery and performance is using one out the box once released. Most reviewers got preview/unfinished/un-optimized ones.
[Nexus 10 General] thebrian101:
I hope that statement is true
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
Best indicator for battery life is to let everyone else who is like that be your guinea pig, and just watch the forums for complaints about 'abysmal battery life'. Performance you can try out in a shop.
[Nexus 10 General] demandarin:
True. But Android devices in stores are more capable. Meaning who knows what the previous person did messing around with it. From what I remember, apple devices, in stores, are blocked from letting you install stuff. With android, you can root and everything right then and there. More chances for device to be slowed down or messed up from someone messing with certain settings or apps that can hamper performance.

I like to let others test out first also. But I never let their experience determine my overall opinion of device. Especially without me trying first hand.

For example, I wouldn't have ever gotten a nexus7 or note 10.1 if I only based purchase off others review. Nexus7 had some screen lifting issues. Samsung note 10.1 has touchwiz bloateare. Those were complaints I read initially. People said don't buy them. Glad I didn't listen..lmao. those 2 devices are excellent. Wasn't nowhere near as bad as some reviewers or xda members made them out to be.
