[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techie2012:
I wanted to love the N10 so bad. After the reviews came out, I was shocked to hear the reviewers say that the N10 screen is dim and a bit washed out. The screen on my GNexus is so fantastic and the Galaxy SIII has a even more beautiful screen.

How come Samsung couldn't come up with a brighter screen for the N10?? I am waiting to pick a display model and see for myself before I decide but this is a deal breaker for me. After you own a Prime/Infinity you can't go back to a dim screen.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Why put so much faith into a random review, even if it's from a reputable source?

People's opinions will differ so instead of listening to a review, just wait until you can test the device and check it out then.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techie2012:
Unfortunately the anandtech benchmark wasn't good. 740 for contrast ratio is pretty low. That's more than just an opinion
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Benchmarks generally prove nothing at all. When deciding to get a phone, experience should always be more important then specs and scores.

If you're going to base all of your choices on what reviews, specs and benchmark scores say, you'll never end up getting a new phone.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
+1

See it & play with it for yourself. Benchmarks aren't always updated & optimized. Reviewers aren't always unbiased. Try it doing the stuff that you would do with it to see if it will suit your needs...just like when shopping for TVs - take a video you know well to watch when comparing screens.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techie2012:
Yes and I am planning to pick up a device in person at a store and see it for myself. But after several reviewers saying the same thing I'll have low expectations.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
Most reviews call it the best screen out there or at least up with the iPad (screens made by Samsung), but still, no one's tested a final version yet, the way the HW performs it looks like performance is somewhat held back (battery optimization issue?), and that could mean screen brightness is held back. At the end of this month we'll have proper out-of-box tests and user reviews, so don't jump off the ship just yet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
It's possible that the reviewers have seen the anandtech stuff and so there's that power of suggestion going on there. Also, don't forget these reviewers are accustomed to the iPad absolutely destroying any other tablet they review in every way, so they are REALLY going to scrutinise this one more than any other device and go looking for any and every flaw they can. You can't blame them, really.

Of course, there is just the possibility that Samsung made a crappy display - but they are one of the leading HDTV manufacturers. All of the Sammy TVs I've seen are amazing on every front (surprisingly, even design, which seems a lot better than LG, Toshiba etc).

Speaking of which, why have Sammy not yet thought to borrow some of the design language from their TVs for their devices? They look brilliant, a lot better than a giant Note or Nexus would.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinfinion:
Google had the option to use Samsung's RGBW display that is both brighter and has higher contrast but they opted instead for a traditional RGB display. I'm curious to know the reasoning behind that.

Some interesting reading -
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
Everyone's been left with a bad taste after PenTile showed how amazingly crap it can look on Sammy's 300+ PPI devices (unless the noise at low brightness is actually just OLED and not PenTile, in which case oopsie daisie).

Also, PenTile must have some downsides, otherwise people wouldn't keep saying they would never buy a PenTile device. 100 nits is not all that. The TF700's 600 nits or it doesn't matter.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manar Aleryani:
I have this app that does nothing but reading a database file of contacts and numbers and display the name of the contact in the form of a notification whenever a call is received.

Can anyone help me modify this app to work on newer versions of android because it only works on GB?? Pleeeeaaase.

I know that this app works in reading the database because the search function works fine but it does not display the notification on call reception.

So what is required is this very minor modification and I have no knowledge in android.

I'm getting close to saying goodbye to Sprint and sadly my Photon. Going to be making the jump to Big Red here soon, probably to a Galaxy S3. Price points just finally got the best of me. Huge thanks to Joker Bill and the rest of the devs, as well as everyone who has even remotely contributed to how far the Photon has come with the lack of support from Moto. That all being said, anyone have any personal preference or thoughts for android devices on Verizon? Far as I can see its basically the S3 or go home.. i want something new and fresh, with backing here on XDA, and please don't ever mention the word Motorola. NOT going to happen, no more Moto for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Slender Troll:

3. non-removable battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
Very true but compare that to being ditched by motorola, no drivers, lack of LTE, lack of LTE network and a 2 year contract..... compared to the photon the $350 dollar n4 sounds fantastic!

I have a 32GB N7 for media streaming. 16GB is plenty for a phone that has a fast enough data network (HSPA+) to actually stream or use the cloud. (Both of which I do not do.)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Nobiyuki:
Is there any chance that someone who's abandoning the Photon would be able to donate his/her phone to Th3Bill? I know Th3Bill doesn't always have access to a Photon right now, and this would be a great way to help out the community. I'd be glad to help pay for shipping (in both directions, if you were only able to lend the phone for a while rather than donating outright).

Certainly I wouldn't want anyone to feel pressured to do this, but if you're not selling it and instead it'll just be on the shelf collecting dust...

One down one to go

I sold my photon yesterday. My original was rooted but the speaker broke and the warranty replacement was locked. I held out since July hoping we could find a way to root them again but I just can't stand sprint anymore. So, I've decided to sell my gs3 as well and and cancel my contract and switch to metro. way cheaper and i will have service. over two years now and i still have no signal at home. i have had the airave which works well. But given my monthly bill with sprint i think it's truly unfair to have to pay for high speed internet as well as premium data charges for both phones.I would like to make a mention to anyone switching from the photon to the gs3 that please be prepared. I think I could throw the moto against a brick wall and it wouldn't phase it but the gs3......gee whiz this thing is just so fragile. since july i've had two and the current one's screen is cracked in several different places.No, i don't beat them up that bad ;) definately would recommend a good case.
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:

[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
What gets me is how screwed I feel. When I started my current contract, Sprint was working on rolling out WIMAX. I saw a couple of WIMAX towers go up about a half hour from where I live. Then they stopped. They scrapped any future WIMAX and decided to go LTE. A lot of good that does me with a WIMAX phone. If I was on NET10 right now with one of their two phones that work on Verizon's network, I'd essentially have the exact same service as I have right now, and I'd be paying about half as much. I feel like Sprint pulled one over on me. I don't even mind that my Photon is still on Gingerbread. I just can't stand Sprint anymore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghostinrags:
Th3bill is the only reason

I'm only hanging on because of unlimited data, which I do use, but Th3bill has been the BIGGEST part of my loyalty. Sprint loves to charge you out the ass, but they ARE unlimited, truly. Moto PISSED me off... but... I was already with Joker and Bill. So, I can't get jilted by a lover I already left, really. This device isn't bad on Th3bill's work, very very usable. Nandroid a GB backup for Webtop and full compatibility, go JB for your daily driver. The MoPho is disappointing in Motorola's actuation. The tech itself is sound, and we are lucky to have talented people help us, on the only unlimited network which we can freely tether to on an unlimited basis. C'mon folks. Come together... right now... (sing the song)

[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
The Wimax router wouldn't do me any good. I'm not in a 4G coverage area, and that's what the router does. It takes Wimax signal and turns it into WIFI. I already have WIFI in my home. I am mad because I have a Wimax device that I thought was going to receive coverage, and they're switching to LTE, leaving me out in the cold here. Like I said, I could get the same coverage for half the cost with a NET10 plan!

I'm having the same issue with Wifi. It'll still show as being "connected", but there won't be any data coming through. I'll have to toggle Wifi on/off to get it back. Sometimes it'll work for a couple of hours before having the data issue again, sometimes less than a minute.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] enormous:
Connections optimizer has been turned off AND frozen using TiB from day one. So that's obviously not it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chunology:
Connections optimizer is off for me too - My phone shows a clear signal disconnect and reconnect (The wifi bars/3g symbol disappears completely) during this time all data connections fails - including texts. This is happening when I'm staying in one area so it couldn't be a tower reconnection issue.

I'm going to try taking my phone into a sprint store today to see what they say.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] enormous:
Ah, it sounds like our issues may be different then. My issue is solely with Wi-Fi (haven't noticed issues with 3G). When it happens for me the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar doesn't change, I just can't connect to anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] supersonic64126:
Yup, same here. Seems like the 3G radio does the same thing, but not necessarily at the same time as the WIFI. At first I thought is was only the WIFI too, but 3G is affected, though not to as severe a degree. My WIFI was actually disconnecting and failing to reconnect. Turning off connection manager made no difference. I did however notice that the WIFI at my work (WEP encryption) never seemed to do this (at least I didn't notice), so I changed my home network WPA to WEP and sure enough, it stays connected. Was still failing to load occasionally, so I went even further and changed the router to a single channel rather than "Auto" and set it to "N Only" (due to having a similar problem with a laptop I used to have, with a similar solution). Problem fixed. I'm using an Amped R10000 just FYI, not sure if it matters. Very annoying, and given the number of occurances being sufficient to start a thread, I'm assuming this is a common issue and will hopefully be fixed by a firmware update. In the meantime, we should probably all start calling Sprint daily and complaining. Maybe they're not even aware of it. Probably not enough of these phones in circulation yet for them to worry about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProCision:
Mine will do this from time to time. Stock not rooted. I will have full 3g bars and full wifi bars and my data will just hang. If I turn off wifi everything works again. Some times when I load a game that has to connect to Facebook to play against friends I have to close the app/game, remove it from memory and reload it to get the data to work. Same thing for Pandora. It will load a song to 2% and hang until I stop wifi or reboot the phone. It's not an everyday thing but some days are worse then others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
"Good to see" from the perspective I thought it was just me. Things described by others happening to me as well. Personally, I find I like the wifi/3g auto connectivity feature - when it works. Got my SGNII on Thurs last week, and connected to wifi at work on Friday no issues. This morning, the Note picked up my work wifi without a hitch.

At home, over the weekend, I was getting spotty connection, sometimes no connection to my wifi. (Disclaimer - I have my main wifi @ N/5ghz. An access point was added with wireless G via an old Netgear router-turned-AP.) After several attempts of moving the AP from one cat6 jack to another, I finally moved it to my main level. Oddly enough, so far, so good. Certainly possible the router's radio is pooping out.

What I notice happen with connection issues though seem related to the Note seeing my wireless G, trying to connect, but unable to do so until/unless I reboot my phone. After moving to the new location/jack, everything seems to work OK now (knock on wood).

Having said that... I also think the 3g radio (HW or SW?) is a bit wonky, as my old HTC Hero seemed to have more bars at home, IIRC. Whatever it is, just seems a bit lacking, IMHO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kobhomye:
Sprint is updating to LTE in many markets ive noticed my 3G drops says preparing networks and reestablishes the connection to 3G. I live in Fort Wayne and issue the permits for the tower co-locates and they are close to going live with LTE here so I know thats my problem. I can live with the flakiness for a few more days. I have not had issues with WIFI drops at home.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajsmsg78:
The same thing has been happening to me here on Long Island. 3g drops and reconnects. Sometimes it doesn't and a reboot fixes it. I also notice after the disconnect and reconnect it states my PRL is unknown. I have done a PRL update many times, a Profile Update, a RTN reset, and a factory reset. This happens on the stock rom and any custom ROM. It's driving me insane!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledgie:
Sigh, so it seems as if you guys are losing wifi/3g....is it affecting voice radios or LOS/dropped calls?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chunology:
I haven't been on the phone when it's happened so I couldn't tell you - Nothing like the LOS on the E4GT. When the data connection does cut out it immediately reconnects. Doesn't really impair the functionality of the phone but it happens enough to be annoying. With a 300$ price tag I expect my device to be without defect.

This ^, I have been having lots of problems with the Note 2 and connectivity. Especially with my airvana. Changing from LTE/CDMA to CDMA fixed all my problems including the random drop/reconnects with WiFi.
