External SD never gets wiped during a rom flash. Even internal sd card doesn't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajunlibra:
What's your opinion on Triangle away? Is it safe to use on my e4gt? Just in case this doesn't work, I'll need to reset my count.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I have used once when I flashed jb tar and it worked. I prefer mobile Odin over desktop Odin to flash. Mobile Odin means no triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I use triangle away all the time, I never use mobile Odin. I think its more risky, not sure why, its all in my head :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajunlibra:
Thanks. One more question and hopefully we're done here.

I noticed that on the paranoid Android site, they no longer have OTAs. How do you get updates? Do you have to flash each time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajunlibra:
Do any of you find it odd that bad piggies seems to be immune to this lag issue? I played it on my to work this morning. Other apps get bogged down. Thank you all for your help and advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Custom roms typically require manual updates. Very few update automatically and i have never tried paranoid.

I'm not even sure what bad piggies is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajunlibra:
Bag Piggies is a game by the same developers who created Angry Birds.

My clock is now off for some reason. I've live in Chicago and haven't left the Central time zone in months but that it what it is getting from the network. I"m really ready to throw my phone at the wall at the moment.

I cannot find a Paranoid ROM file that is a .tar. What's the point of using ODIN Mobile is you still have to use a computer to convert the .zip to .tar? I tried extracting the .zip and got 3 folders with loads of files. I've tried searches online and here and can't find directions for Flashing Paranoid using ODIN Mobile. What am I missing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You need to read more on installing roms...

Start here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953783 Then go to threads linked in that post 2. Then read the OP of the rom you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajunlibra:
THanks.

So I flashed StockCWM_EL26.tar.md5 using ODIN Mobile and voila the lag seems to be gone. At least now the phone is usable for the time beign until I get can paranoid on my phone. Do you think one of the installs did something to my kernel?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KnukLHead:
Yesterday I noticed that none of the sound for the media was working but the notification sounds still worked. It had been dropped recently and part of the back had popped out. I snapped it back in easily and after that is when I noticed it. But I hadn't been using it before the drop to know if it was some other reason. Seemed weird that the notification sounds worked and nothing else did so I thought maybe it was something software related. A conflict of some kind. ( someone has been downloading crap on my tab like crazy) I did a wipe and reflashed the redemption ROM I was running and still no media sounds. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to pull it apart and take a look at this point unless someone else has any better advice or has had this problem too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
You may have already tried this but are all the sound volume bars positioned correctly?

Yea. One of the first things i looked at
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuhsi:
I love SwiftKey because of the amazing auto correct, arrow keys, and swiping to delete a word. I type very well on my phone thanks to the program.

However, since I am not using the stock keyboard, I don't think I can do cool stuff with my pen like write a handwritten text message.

Anyone else sticking to SwiftKey or are folks using the stock keyboard?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
I alternate between both. I love SwiftKey but I can't do one handed typing. That's why I also still use the Samsung keyboard. If only it had auto correct. Oh well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
I'm a Swype fan, but I'm currently giving the Android 4.2 keyboard a chance. It has a swipe feature..... So far I'm thinking I'll switch back to the Swype keyboard. It gets the words correct more often it seems...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AviatorBobo:
For me it's SwiftKey all the way :D no other program catches and fixes as many words as SwiftKey does :)

Can you edit the dictionary for your own words or delete words you don't use?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belutz:
I used to use Switftkey, but since I have a Note 2, I use the samsung keyboard, because it can learn my often used words same like switftkey.

If you see the options in "Predictive Text" in Samsung keyboard is almost the same with the "Personalization" menu in Swiftkey.

The only thing I miss is the cursor key option in Switfkey is not available in Samsung keyboard
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmah96:
Used to, but moved to stock

When i had my s2, i used swiftkey, but since i got my note 2 Ive been using the stock keyboard because it has swipe and swiftkey features built in.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadfishGTB:
Always used swype in the past but when I got the gn2 I loved the stock keyboard too much to change. ..

Great swype function and number pad. Tried SwiftKey but wasn't that impressed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornbread0715:
I emailed swift about this today hopefully they can make something for us until then I am stuck with stock
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
Swype Beta time!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willingtan:
I agree. The JB keyboard is good, but missing the cursor keys. Swiftkey is still better in that sense.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
I use SwiftKey in the day and swype after 10pm at night. Reason being at night I normally like to spend some time playing with the phone, reading forums while lying in bed b4 sleeping. Swype is better for this case.

I have a tasker profile that automatically changes input to SwiftKey in the morning and swype at night.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
And how is SwiftKey better during the day? You lost me, I'm afraid...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
I used to swap between Swiftkey and the Swype beta on my Galaxy S and Note 1.

But I've just been using the stock keyboard on the Note 2 because it is almost like Swiftkey and Swype combined.

I just hate that the Samsung keyboard is so big. I occasionally still switch to Swiftkey when I want to see more of the screen.

The Swiftkey and Swype keyboard take up a lot less screen space. I can't wait for Swiftkey flow.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
Lol. cause at night I'll be lying on the bed, holding the phone up using one hand. so it's easier to Swype with the other. It's not possible to type using 2 hands in this manner.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
Read my question again. I'm not asking about the REASON to SWYPE at NIGHT.....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
I use swiftkey. The lack of auto correct in samsung's keyboard kills it for me. I can type 5x times faster with swift with its (still) unparalleled auto correction.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
Sorry cause I usually like to type using both hands. Swype is not very conducive for that. Only reason I use Swype at night is because I cannot type with both hands while lying down and holding the phone above me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zack2491:
SwiftKey. For clarification, Samsung calls it's version of Swype "Swiftkey", so that camelcasing is more important than ever in this thread. :P

SwiftKey is the only app I've ever purchased. I used the trial and could not go back to any other keyboard after that. I do wish it had the option for a row of numbers, like the Samsung keyboard does. That's really convenient, and on a phone this size not a hindrance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
I understand now! Makes perfect sense!

Well, i tried the Samsung Keyboard with swipe feature and it sucked. Punctuation was difficult to say the least. However, i did like the number keys always up there.

Back to giving Android Keyboard another go now...

Overall, Swype Beta seems the easiest when trying to type really fast, but formats funky on the screen sometimes.

I'm hoping the next version of Android Keyboard is improved. It also won't show you word suggestions for previous words, which is just stupid..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rascal123:
+1
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
And I'm back to Swype Beta 1.3. Samsung keyboard felt slow and heavy.

Better keyboard for digits.

Better accuracy for fast/sloppy writing.

Easy to use symbols.

Can tap on a previous word and it will give you suggestions.

Can CAPITALIZE a whole word by making 2 loops above the keyboard at any time while Swyping a word.

Can highlight and tap an old word and press shift key to see capitalisation options.

If it spells the wrong word, you can instantly press delete, and it deletes the WHOLE wrong word.

Has cool/quick features that you can activate by starting a Swype from the Swpye Key.

Can choose a keyboard theme. I like the black one.

Can Swype from punctuation to the space bar.

Press and hold ANY word to quickly add or delete it from your personal dictionary.

(I am aware shine of these features are similar to other keyboards, but Swype Beta has them closer to perfection.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billygr:
i always go back and forth between swiftkey and swype beta. can't wait for the new swiftkey update with swype function.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Between Galaxy tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy tab 2 10.1, which one do you think is better?

Comparing the specs, pros and cons and design, which one do you think its more worth it for me?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kdog48:
I recommend the 7 cause it is a lot more portable, cheaper, might not have some fancy things as the 10.1 but it has great ROMs and now I just found this script someone made that will increase my memory because it swaps internal SD with external SD now I'm running 32gb of memory :) this tab is well worth the money and I saw at Walmart they sell it for 200 dollars now so yeah
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
I personally think if you are buying tab 2 than choose 7 inch model.

10 inch model is highly over priced.it just have 3inch extra(higher resolution) and all other specs are same.

So go and get 7" tab 2.believe of you will never regret your purchase.

If you want 10" consider 10" note or upcoming galaxy nexus 10.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Thank you for all the replies. So, in terms of specs, there is no particular differences between 7.0 and 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Yes no difference in two models except size and resolution.

And pressing thanx button is much better than just saying thanx.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
But i heard that the tab 2 10.1 have 2 speakers at the front instead of 1 speaker at the side. I dunno if this helps but i regularly go to YouTube for entertainment.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivanscremo:
Yes that is true. Gtab 2 10.1 got front speaker compared to 7 inch model on the side.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Which is better in the long run? I prefer a bigger screen as I have big hands and I can see easily compared to a smaller screen.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kdog48:
Honestly with the sound quality this tablet has its still got a great speaker! I watch tons of movies on my tab all the time, Netflix, xfinity, and downloaded movies they all sound in a way surround although the speakers are only on the bottom. There are actually two I'm almost positive well I have two haha o.O
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] scottx .:
Buy the 7. The 10 I think should have better specs than the 7 for the price but it doesn't. (Other than the resolution)

If I got a 10 I'd go for the note 10.1.

1000th post, whaa
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sirmarcelot:
go for the 7 inch. if you want a 10 inch model, i recommend buying the new nexus, or even a kindle hd, which is not 10" but have better specs. the tab 2 with 10 inches really should have an upgraded cpu at least.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
So that means that I should just get the tab 2 7.0 because it has no differences between the 10.1 and its cheaper? The reason im buying a tablet is because i am getting only $500 from my school and idk which tablet is within this price.

Congrats for your 1000th post :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Im not sure whether the new nexus and kindle hd is available in my country singapore or not....
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :

Why the F@#k do people on xda always ask others what they should buy?! If you're a total dolt I understand. But when you seem to already have a grasp of all the specs,...wtf. should members tell you which way to wipe?

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
I don't know, man... you want the speakers, you want a bigger screen... seems clear to me you want a 10 inch. I really don't get why're you asking, if you read your posts, all of them aim at you wanting de 10". Maybe you just haven't realized it yet.

To me, there's no "better than". 10 inch and 7 inch can accomodate very different situations... someone said "it's only 3 inches", but that's A LOT. That's almost the difference between a regular smartphone and a tab. And 43% extra. But at the same time, it's less portable, and more difficult to handle.

You have to choose, depending on the use YOU will give to it, so that's where you start. Watching videos, or the kind of apps... even how are you planning to carry it.

I like my 7", because I can watch videos, read news and e-mails one handed. It's a very comfortable size for playing games, as well. And I can carry it on my bag without having to remove anything of what I used to carry before. Eventually, I'm planning to get a belt-holster kinda thing. Some other people might prefer to sacrifice some mobility, to get some more screen real estate, and get a richer multimedia experience, but in my case, for those situations I jump to my laptop. 10 inches would be too close to its screen... the same way, if I had a Galaxy Note, a 7 inch would have been too close to my phone's screen (this is why my "gnote-owning" wife isn't interested in a tab).
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Why i prefer a bigger screen is because I can see better and it is more of a comfort to use. But if the 10" isnt going to have a better specs than the 7", then I wouldnt have any choice other than the 7" because wasting money on something with **** specs isnt what i intended to do. How I am planning to carry it is simply just put it in my bag.

Same goes for me. If i had the 7" tablet, it will be really close to my screen because of my note being 5.3".

Then again, screen size is an issue but not a must for me. If the google nexus 7 is better than tab 2 10" in terms of specs, I will take that. I heard that it is running Jelly Bean, sounds cool.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] robteam:
I prefer the 7.0 because of portability. There are several ROMs to choose for already and you can now swap ext sd with internal SD!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
If you have a Gnote, a 7-inch tablet is a little redundant. Nexus 10 / Note 10 would be a good option.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] acefsw:
If it's $500 usa dollars, why are you here? Definitely, check out the specs on all devices and why not a cheap laptop? I consider a tablet to be a toy. Ask yourself what am I using it for? Serious programming? Wtf? No, heck I can get more use from a notebook than a tab, bigger hd, more ports, etc. Ask yourself what you are using it for. Can you expand the ram, the hd, how easily can it span and be used across platforms? Only you can decide based on your projected use. For $500 usd I'd build a killer box and dual boot it with linux and microsoft, not that hard, check out toms hardware. As far as portability, a notebook is small and tablets aren't much smaller and do much less than a notebook and a cheap laptop is even better than a notebook. Anyway, my point is to consider what you need logistically and what is possible whithin your budget.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Its 500 Singapore dollars and with singapore implanting taxes on everything, it will cost a bomb. In my country the new iPhone cost $1000 retail price.

For me, the tablet will be for entertainment purposes. It doesnt matter whether what operating system it is as long as it satisfy my budget and needs. I understand your point. You are trying to say a cheap laptop can do way better than a tablet and you can expand the ram, graphic card etc. But you must understand that tablets can have tons of useful apps and games compared to a cheap laptop. Developers are now making and improving apps for tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
I understand but all i use for my note now is only messaging, calling and some apps and games.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
Well, then I guess the question is a different one... will you really need a tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] rrieter:
Could you point me in the direction of this script?

Never mind, I found it. :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] king200:
I rid myself of a Motorola Xoom. I didn't use it because it was too heavy and the size was a disadvantage. I thought it would be better than my non touch screen Kindle reader and for a Wall Street Journal online subscription. The Kindle reader was lighter and more comfortable in the hand. I can hold the GT 7.2 it to my ear just like a phone when I'm using Talkatone. The clarity of the speaker and mic adequate. The size is perfect for texting with SMS Cloud.

I tried the Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, and now the GT 2.7. It is the best. Only deficiency is the screen, which is still excellent. The Sapps are better than the others by far.

Memory is not really an issue as it is on other models. The MicroSD card space intensive files like Video, Music, Books and TWRP backups. Many apps now can use the files on the MicroSD card. For the few I use that cannot, I believe this script http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1961097 will swap the internal and and External MicroSD card.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Again, I will be using the tablet for youtube and stuff. Currently I am using my iPod Touch for that
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] acefsw:
Yep, a cheap laptop has more uses, but if you just want a toy, these little tabs are ok. My only complaint is that you can't put apps on the extended sd without installing a JB rom, which at this time doesn't support the IR capability yet. Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
I give up. Having an iPod Touch and a Gnote, a 7 inch Tab seems unnecessary. I'm telling you this while I look at my Tab and my wife's Gnote: There's 100 wiser ways to spend your money, but then again I'm no one to tell you what to do with it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
I understand your point of view but then my itouch is really old and small. I also understand that you feel that having a tab is just wasting my money as I already have a note and itouch but personally I feel android is better since my first Android is the Acer liquid Ferrari edition and it was one of the best phone I had ever used. Android developers are also working on Android more than ios because it is open source and it's somehow easier for them.

I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but personally I feel apple stuff are a little overpriced when you can get better stuff for a lower price. Example is the ipad mini and nexus 7.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
I am not going to put so many apps until I have to use an extended sd just for the apps. Probably I will be using 6-8gb out of 16gb. And btw the 8gb model of the nexus 7 is not available in Singapore so I can only buy the 16gb model for S$399.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
Well, it was more about the Gnote than about the iPod... If it's about Youtube videos... why can't you watch them on your Galaxy Note?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
This galaxy Note has a really sh*t battery and when I use it to really play games, YouTube and some apps, it will really drain out real quick. I seem it drop from 90% to 60% in just an hour of watching videos on YouTube.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
That's weird... my wife's Gnote has a good batt life.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Depends on her usage. If all she does is texting and using some apps, the battery will last. If she is like my mom who is always playing Tiny Towers, she may have to charge at least once or twice per day. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
Text, Chrome, Maps and Sketchbook Pro, most of the time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HB_Mosh:
I would say go for the GNote 10.1. As other said before having a GNote makes it redundant to buy any 7" device. Plus specs are a little better on those 10, 1 devices and we are still waiting on the JB update! Which is annoying as hell.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Then what's your opinion on the nexus 7? I heard a lot of positive reviews on that tab.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Well then that's not very heavy. I guess her Gnote can last for a day or two
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HB_Mosh:
Mmm, well i don't think the Nexus is for me, i mean, it has a great processor and screen, but no sd card or rear camera is a killer for me. I have to say, i'm pretty happy with my GT2 7.0 apart from the lacking JB update, which should come anyday soon :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Oh I see. But why would you need a rear camera on a tablet? Personally I feel that cameras are unnecessary and would only increase the price since I rarely used the camera.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FRiC_xda:
I chose the Galaxy Tab to get the rear camera as well, since my phone doesn't have a camera (!), and sometimes it's a pain to not have a camera on hand. And the reason my phone doesn't have a camera is because I need a simple phone with really really long battery life. So far the rear camera on my Tab has proven invaluable.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Oh ok. But there are phones which have cameras and also have a really long battery life.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Bagbug:
wow, that was pathetic...

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

go with a 10inches tablet if you can afford it. There is no reason to get the smaller ones if size and money are not issues.

Also, watching video/movies and playing games with a single side speaker is really annoying.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FRiC_xda:
Yeah, probably going to get a new phone soon, but I'll miss the 7-10 days of battery life I'm getting now with my stupid phone. :silly:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
Thanks. But what is the difference between tab 2 10.1 and note 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
I can understand. I used to use phone like nokia 1280, n73, n95 and some other symbian phones which would be a hassle to list it out here. I love how they can last throughout a week and just charging it every Sunday. Now it seems to be every 2-3 days.
