Unless you're playing a really graphic intense game along with music and texting it won't lag! I'm my experience it has never lagged once!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidlover123:
Believe it or not i have not experienced even a small lag while playing hd games like nova 3,modern combat,asphalt 6 and 7,shadowgun,wild blood etc......

Touch is excellent..

Go for this tab its a great consumer product...

Its 7 inch version is good but if you wanna go for 10 inch consider note 10,nexus 10 or transformer.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bry009:
Thanks guys for your answers. :thumbup: I'll assume the lagging I experienced must have been caused by all the demoing...

All these no-no's in the shops... :D

Will rooting improve the speed? :confused: Any experience on that?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeiro:
The JB ROM will definitely improve the speed.

I've been using the indian leak and it is MUCH better than the previous stock ICS.
[NFC Hacking] Fennem:
I'm tempted by the new Nexus 4 but Id like to know the specifications on the NFC chip inside before I commit to buying it.

Is there anywhere that has in-depth tech specs on the device ?
[NFC Hacking] AmeesingNoob:
-- http://techcrunch.com/

As far as I know, there aren't any "specs" on NFC-chips.
[NFC Hacking] LoveNFC:
It uses the BCM20793 http://www.broadcom.com/products/NFC/NFC-Solutions/BCM2079x-Family

This is somewhat worrying/interesting - pretty much every other NFC-enabled Android phone uses NXP's chips. What if this guarantees that network SIM-based payments won't be compatible?
[NFC Hacking] joao22:
mifare

Broadcom nfc chips support multiple Secure Elements in one device. (competition for ISIS and Google?)

Devices with a broadcom nfc chip probably can't read/write Mifare Classic tags. Other (mifare) nfc tags wil be no problem.
[NFC Hacking] hollywoodfrodo:
Yeah, since they didn't use an NXP chip, the Nexus 4 (and Nexus 10) will not read/write Mifare Classic 1K NFC Tags (because technically they don't adhere to the NFC Forum specifications). The bummer on that is the next best option is the NTAG 203 which has about 1/5 the memory but cost more. The good news is the memory is enough for most task launching NFC apps to do most things you'd want. The bad news is it's often not enough to create a Vcard. The other next best option are the Topaz 512byte chips, but they are significantly more expensive.

I just found this out the hard way when one of my customers contacted me about his Mifare 1K tags that weren't working with his Nexus 4. I'm having new tags manufactured in the NTAG format but the Mifare 1K are still best for most people since there's no such thing as too much memory if the cost is the same or less.
[NFC Hacking] krohnjw:
Desfires are also an option for more space (1k, 2k, 4k) they are just not as widely available currently.

Hello, MIFARE 1K is work on my Nexus 4, read/write, use NFC Tack Launcher.
[NFC Hacking] Damastus:
Does anyone know if they can read / write basic ISO 14443 A and B Cards / Tags?
[NFC Hacking] mrbkkt1:
You can't actually write to the NFC, but the task launcher remembers the tag and assigns a function to it

I want to write a tag, that can be read by both the galaxy s3 and the nexus 4 to check in on Facebook. Can I write one with the n4, and is the n203 capable enough? Seems a little low memory for a check in data string.
[NFC Hacking] ShensMobile:
Does anyone know what NFC standards the BCM20793 in the Nexus 4 supports? Broadcom doesn't actually post the datasheets for their products online.
[NFC Hacking] Robogar:
I think the Broadcom chip is NFC Forum type 1-4 compliant, which means it's able to use all NFC tag types Topaz, Mifare Ultralight C, Mifare S50 and the UPM Ntag. What it is NOT compatible with are the Mifare Classic NFC tags.

The NXP PN65 chip which is on most devices OTHER than Nexus 4 and 10 is able to use 1 additional NFC type which is Mifare Classic. Mifare Classic is actually the thing that's NOT NFC Forum compliant.

The new Samsung S4 also ships with a Broadcom chip so it's likely it's also not compatible with Mifare Classic tags.

Okay, so this isnt an usual thread, but yesterday I was on my way to Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and when I saw my gas meter was on E, I stopped at the gas station, in this case the Shell. Call it coincidence, but as soon as I approached the gas station my phone was constantly giving me messages, in this case: "shell - superuser permission denied". I'm not a complete noob, and I know that the shell is a part of android, but this got me thinking. So, 145 permission denieds further, I left the gas station and got on the highway, and magically the messages stopped and my phone was functional again. I'm going to the same Shell again this week and i'm gonna try if it happens again, but i still think this is kinda shady.
[General Questions and Answers] hemansan:
Hi,

I am trying to modify the icon size of apps and number of icons which are shown on the home screen of my Phone.

I found that changing ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop affects the complete system and it also not useful to change the size of icons shown on home screen.

I tried to change the android:maxRows="3" android:maxItemsPerRow="3" android:maxItems="6" in framework-res.apk package by following the advice given here. However it did not help me either.

Above method included retrieving of framework-res.apk, modifying the contents from layout-port directory, creating the zip and installing it. Which I did successfully without any error.

Currently I have 4x4 settings for the home screen, i.e. I can have maximum 16 icons on the Home page; and for example, I want to change it to 3x2 so that there can be only 9 icons on the home screen.

I also want to customize the icon sizes.

How can I do by modifying framework-res.apk or some other package from existing ROM?

Just to make sure: I don't want to install new application or theme, rather want to understand how it is done.

The device I work on has ICS installed. (I am using ICS Arco's CM9 for Samsung Galaxy S plus device)

Hi.. is there any one who can tell me what roms working with hboot 1.31?

I looking at rom called CustoNexus Endeavoru v1.0.0 i want to try but nothing about if it works with my hboot?

I tried to install insert coin 12.0.1 and it boots up and then doing the wizard setup and it stopped working and cant boot in to meny.

Try to install the rom again from the begining and its the same, something to do with my hboot? or bad boot.img?

Well, im trying a nother rom and if any one here has tried a good clean, stable rom with good battery life without sense im glad to hear.

Thanks!
[HTC One X] SleemLDJ:
You can install the CM10 ROMS but you have to flash mdeejay's boot.img before you can boot with hboot 1.31 which you have.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
THERE IS A WAY TO INSTALL EVERY AOSP Rom available there

at CyanogenMOD 10 "SE" you will havw link for a kernel to run CM10-SE , you can use this kernel for ever AOSP out there to make it run on your HTC One X , you need to follow these steps

1- Flash any AOSP from from Recovery as usual after wiping for sure

2- Dont reboot and use that provided kernel and flash it also inside recovery

3- Reboot into bootloader FastBoot and flash the boot.img inside there kernel as its called "boot_1.23_1.28_hboot_v1.0 " you can rename it as boot.img for easier installing as that for newer hboots and its compaitable with CM10-SE kernel which at this point compaitable with the kernel you have just flashed

but as it indicated it dosent have a functional GPS

with these steps I have been able to try all AOSP Roms

If you need to get the GPS running you may like to try the same above steps using TripNRaVeR flashable kernel zip

for me im sticking with CM10-SE kernels as I dont need the gps beside the great battery life

I hope that would help you
[HTC One X] nitrous²:
You can use TripNDroid's CM10 build. It's meant for every Hboot version and GPS is also working on every Hboot version. I have Hboot 1.31 and GPS works flawlessly on TD CM10!

You did list out what is necessary and stuff man, i appreciate it. But as i said, I really didnt understand. Virtaully nothing, All i know to do in my phone is Flashing to the flashtool. Thats the only thing I've done. So a better way would really help. Thank you guys.

And by the way, This may be a very stupid question, But anyway I'm gonna ask..

Is it possible to ROOT our device WITHOUT unlocking bootloader?? As i heard that unlocking ones bootloader is real risky and stuff.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
There is a similar named thread a few threads down, but that one was asking about formats.

I'm asking if anyone has a guesstimate as to the tablet's ability to software decode 1080p 10bit (obviously for anime).

Most people encode bluray videos in 8bit for those who aren't aware.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcb4:
I want to know if it can play a 4k video seamlessly (hardware decoded of course).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
It's wouldn't count on amazing software decode performance at 1080. If you've got a hardware decodable format, you should be fine.

As for the one above me, I think 4k hardware should manage ok, but we'll have to wait and see.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
Well, at the moment, the 10bit format can't be properly hardware accelerated. It has to be done via software decoding, but after googling around, I think the Nexus 10 should be able to do 720p 10bit.

Hi!

Why's my sola recognized as a MT27i device (I believe under stock GB was this the case) and under ICS (it's xICS vbeta2) it says "MT27" (without the "i" at the end) in the PC Companion application?

What are differences between those two (if any?) Or is it just the naming convention one chooses while building its own ROM or something? Or is it ROM independent thing?

Hi all,

I have an Emgeton 7 inch tablet for which I'm trying out some different ICS ROMs on. The best ROM I have found so far has one issue:

The screen orientation is 90 degrees out. The accelerometer actually works but it is set to 90 degrees "ahead"

How and where is the default settings for the accelerometer set and is it possible to change it without a re-compile?

Would I be able to use anything from the stock ICS firmware to fix it?

I know I'm not the first one to ask this question but no devs have ever answered.. surely someone must know?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
If you get a USB OTG adapter and root the N10 then yes. That's just a normal USB flash drive, like any other.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barguast:
Thanks. That has a MicroSD connection of course, so I assume by USB OTG Adapter, you mean something software-wise as opposed to a physical hardware adapter?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I think you misunderstand. By "Micro" they mean it's really small. It's still got a standard size USB connector on the end, so you need a USB OTG cable to connect it to the microUSB port on the tablet.

This is the cable; http://www.amazon.co.uk/T-Flash-Ada...NQXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352381003&sr=8-1

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barguast:
Ah. Yes, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!

Just realised I've got the title totally wrong too 'MicroSD' > 'Micro USB'. :silly:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
It is unfortunate that the marketing department of some storage manufacturers abuse the term "micro usb flash drive" for regular usb flash drives that are small.

I also hope they some day produce flash drives with native Micro-USB connectors, preferably extending needed enclosure to the sides of the connector, not in length like traditional (even small) flash drives. Even with the upcoming crowd funded MicroSD to Micro-USB adapter, it would always live in fear of accidently breaking it. I'd rather have some 16 or 32 GB Micro-USB stick that is half-moon-shaped and only a few tiny millimeters long, but could extend say 2 centimeters alongside the tablet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
It is unfortunate, what would be nice, is something that plugs all the way in, and then fits against the body of the device so it's snug and protected with no chance of breaking or getting knocked off, wrapping slightly around the contour. I'm pretty sure now I think about it, that this is what you meant by "half moon", perhaps "crescent moon" would be a better term?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
Erm.. yes, I was struggling to find the right words to describe what I had in mind. Whatever has to be outside of the connector due to technical reasons should offer as little added profile with as few edges as possible.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
Is this legal? Well, from Google's point of view anyway cause it's up to them to allow or take down such app. I'm not into rooting for warranty concerns, so how sure is that this app will be supported/left untouched? Major buying point unrooted external storage access for me.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
As all the app does is mount the external storage and copying or streaming data from it, I can't see anything illegal there.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Rooting isn't illegal, nor are any apps that use it, the app isn't going anywhere, at worst you will lose warranty, but to be fair, it's a nexus device, you're kind of expected to root it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
"at worst you will lose warranty" - yeah, that's exactly what I don't want with a $500 device.

Does mentioned app enable you to browse storage and play content with whatever player you choose?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
It's easy enough to unroot, nobody need ever know you did it and technically voided it. Like I said, that's worst case.

As for the app, never used it personally so ill let someone else chime in.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
The app he asked about isn't working with root at all (so no write access). Perfectly legit not to root if he can live with the things he can't do then.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rage1ofakind:
Perfectly legal. My brother watches movies and episodes from his external 1tb hard drive (A powered one).
