[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
in the filters, you make sure it is filtered to show everything... what else?

this isn't really rocket science... but settings --> Preferences --> backup folder location.

kinda logical....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
Ah thanks, I was looking for "restore" folder location!

I've the paid version of titanium, but I still had to click install for each app when restoring them. I thought this could be done in a batch process?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
Yes. Click on batch icon....

I got my note 2 (I317) from ATT days ago and dropped it while it's naked from my pocket. Now the screen and the corners looks really not nice.

I have flashed it with custom ROM cause it does not support any SMS other than English and Spanish, not even Korean !

I know ATT won't honer the warranty for the 30 days period once they found that and m really regret that I refused to get an insurance for such a device.

I have the stock recovery but triangle away cannot set flash counter to 1 as the ROM is not stock.

Anyone could help me out I will honer rewards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powmars:
Did I make myself ? Hope you could help me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Sounds like you will need a stock Odin Image.

You can try flashing stock rooted odex rom but I am not so sure that will help.

IM sure someone will get a odin tar soon. Why do you want to send it back to AT&T if you damaged it?

They wont take it back with physical damage will they?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powmars:
I assume it's within the 30 days period and they will at let me return it (damages are not that obvious) for a $35 restocking fee. They case I bought there is not really helping again any damage and the flip cover is silly in my onion (hard to use with one hand)

I just hope someone would be making the tar within the next 25 days.

Can I try flashinging your stock ROM with the Model.zip I have using the CWM recovery ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] llsektorll:
So if flash counter is set to 1 that means you can still qualify for warrenty repair?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powmars:
No you cannot. Even if they helped you replace for the first one, they will found it and void your warranty on their end. Unless you gave them a real brick so they cannot response before force it into download mode.

Even if you flash your device (any device from ATT) a Samsung Stock ROM will void the warranty. Chainfire's triangle away can only set the counter to 0 and reset the statue to Official when you have the stock recovery and stock ROM. Meaning you can have your warranty back if you stay on the stock ROM.
[Windows RT General] shahran:
Oh my, what a horrible experience I have been having.

So I paid $650 for the Asus Vivo Tab RT with tax over the Surface mostly because of the dock, which ASUS is "claiming" to send out for free.

1. Claiming the free dock online has been impossible, the serial number would not register on their site for a whole week, emailing and calling them did nothing, said they were having server issues which makes no sense. Pretty much think they are making it super hard so they don't have to send it out. Was finally able to register, and I can't select it on the page for claiming the dock. :eek:

2. The microsd slot has a fake plastic piece from factory, and on mine, it is stuck in there and pushing on the spring to bring it out does nothing. Have to do a warranty claim so that they can fix it. Been two weeks since I got it.

3. The service is just horrible. Today I called and after talking for 1 minute (was on hold for 15 minutes), the guy hung up on me. Their call center is not in America, and talking to them is so painful, it really hurts.

4. The storage out of the 32gb is horrendous. After updating windows and Office, which has a BIG update, it has less than 11gb left, without any new apps installed.

5. The camera app does not recognize the flash, so the led on the back is useless. The camera also can only do 4:3 aspect ratio at 8.1MP, only does 16:9 at 6MP. Camera quality is not very good.

6. Tablet seems pretty slow, apps take a while to load sometimes.

SO, I would highly recommend getting the surface over this. If you have these types of problems, I think a lot of people have a Microsoft store near them, and I am sure the warranty service would be much better. I think the build quality is better too.
[Windows RT General] Valerianus:
The Surface weighs more and has a pretty terrible camera.
[Windows RT General] shahran:
True, but it has a built in stand, + better build quality. I guess both their camera's suck.
[Windows RT General] jivy26:
I'm currently using vivo tab and I think the bugs and sluggish moments are more a cause of windows rt rather then Vivo tab. I had no issues submitting for the free dock. As for the camera I have rarely used a camera on any tablet so it doesn't bother me.
[Windows RT General] Prax:
I to own a vivo tab, I got it by exchanging a transformer infinity, and I can say I am pretty happy with it, I was able to submit for a free dock (which they havn't shipped yet), I love the keyboard on it, much better then the surface one ripping, the speed is nice the quad speakers are really nice (please come out with vlc for this it screams for it) over all I have been pretty happy with mine.
[Windows RT General] guitar1969:
I don't know. After the horrible experience I had with a Asus Prime and Infinity, both returned within a week, I would never buy another Asus Tablet - They just don't know what they are doing when it comes to Tablets and their QC is horrible

The more I use my Surface, the more I understand MS' plan. It may not be the fastest quad core, and camera sucks, but they chose stability over flashy specs. What it can do it does very well. I have not had one crash which was a constant thing on the Asus tablets.

As far as the display - It looks great to my eyes even if the resolution specs are not high - There is something to be said about the contrast ration and the bonded screen.

As far as camera - I haven't even fired it up yet, but can see it being useful for teleconferencing but that's it. I wouldn't want to wave a 10" tablet around to take a still picture of my kid like others do, but that's just me.

Considering the Surface has only been out 2 weeks, I am very impressed with its stability and limited bug fixes that need to occur from a firmware standpoint. With the Asus tablets it seems like I was always hoping the next firmware update would solve major issues and they never came.
[Windows RT General] shahran:
Still not able to submit my dock claim online, their support has yet to help. Frustrating.
[Windows RT General] amb9800:
With both Surface and Windows Phone, MS seems to prefer highly optimizing for an older ("tried and true") chipset over adopting the bleeding edge.

That makes sense vs. Android (which often has the latest hardware, but to little benefit), but Apple is able to push hardware boundaries (iPad 4's A6X demolishes every other ARM phone/tablet in CPU + GPU performance) while maintaining stability.

So it's nice that MS is able to get solid performance out of older hardware, but consumers don't see any benefit from that (it's not like Surface or WP7/8 devices are notably cheaper than Apple's offerings, or get any better battery life, etc.), and one wonders what'd be possible if WP8 or Surface had something more powerful (like the S4 Pro).

In the case of Surface RT, one factor that might've influenced MS' design choice (and Asus' for the Vivo Tab RT) is that only Nvidia has been shipping out quad-core ARM chips in volume for the last 6 months. Qualcomm only recently started ramping up the S4 Pro quad-core production, so that probably presented a riskier bet.

Though admittedly, Apple's been doing this a while, and they control much, much more of the supply chain than Microsoft does, so they can probably afford to be more aggressive on the hardware front.
[Windows RT General] GSLEON3:
Yeah, I also have a Vivo Tab & I have no issues with speed or responsiveness. I have numerous devices, all upper tier & my Vivo is just as fast if not more so than any of the others.

As for the LED flash, I talked to a buddy (won't mention where he works) & discovered that the camera driver is BETA. It is in the developmental stage, ALPHA really, so it does not work for the majority of people. I don't mind that so much, I have always been an early adopter & aside from the flash issue, my Vivo works fantastically. Of course I think they should inform consumers of issues like this so you don't think it is a P.O.S. that came broken out of the box. Ideally however, I don't think it is a great idea to release unfinished products onto the public to be used as beta testers, but now you know why the dock was free.

At any rate, I got mine for 499.00 due to a price match here in Texas, so I am good & overall pretty happy with the Vivo.
[Windows RT General] guitar1969:
I am not sure I agree about Apple up until recently but I have not followed Apple on the Ipad. Now that they are in the 4th generation of their Ipad and control the market, that may be the case that they are using the most advanced, but when they first introduced Ipads and earlier generations, they were not very cutting edge with processing power. It seems like they are now doing this because they have to show some technology jump every year to get consumers to buy the new model.

but we also know MS chose to limit the processing of the Surface so they could release a Surface pro as well.
[Windows RT General] JihadSquad:
Except that the Surface and Surface Pro run completely different processor types. MS could have thrown a quad core S4 in the surface and the Pro would still blow it away with a Core i5.
[Windows RT General] Geegeeoh:
How did you do that?

I went to http://event.asus.com/Vivotab/Mobile_Dock/

but I'm stuck at the 3rd step: I can't see a "Mobile Dock Apply & Inquire" anywhere.
[Windows RT General] apatcas:
quick question for anyone that has the Vivo RT... does your windows logo light up?
[Windows RT General] yohojones:
Nope.

I was able to apply for the keyboard dock without any trouble as well. vip.asus.com and register the tablet. I love this think in my truck on a ram mount with a bluetooth keyboard. I can open my excel sheets for work without any problem and the netflix app is a million times better than the horrible android app.

Flash playback is also a million times better than android. It has built in support for smb shares and dlna servers. IE10 flies compared to chrome on my n7.

Sorry you're not enjoying your Vivo...
[Windows RT General] Weron:
I see it light up when I play in the store yesterday.
[Windows RT General] shahran:
I just really think the warranty service is horrid, still have not been able to register and it doesn't seem like they will do anything at all, blows my mind.

The windows logo at the bottom does not light up for me.
[Windows RT General] cvflowe:
The only thing a couple of things I agree with:

The sdhc micro slot you have to be very careful, it's spring loaded and if you push it to hard, it will get stuck. I managed to get mine out.

The space that it takes. It takes a lot for RT and for office. But it is the same with Surface.

Other than that, I had the Prime and the Infinity and this thing it's way way better than those tablets. If you are a business user and you use office programs, trust me you will love this tablet.
[Windows RT General] SvanteH:
While not that obvious, are you outside of US/CA? The mobile dock claim is apparently online available in USA and Canada which they seem to "forget" writing on the event page. -sigh-
[Windows RT General] Geegeeoh:
Italy, but they publicized that here too.

Not just over the internet but also on newspapers.
[Windows RT General] apatcas:
Did anyone get their dock yet? I applied for it 10 days ago and see no change. Also curious really if the windows logo does light up for anyone
[Windows RT General] cvflowe:
Does the Windows logo light up where?
[Windows RT General] apatcas:
The capacitive button on the bottom

So anyone got the dock shipped to them yet? Also Microcenter has these for 500$
[Windows RT General] junialum:
Don't think you got it right here. Surface RT and Surface Pro are 2 very different devices that are seperated by architecture differences not just specs. Windows RT and Windows 8 are very different beasts as well even though they may look exactly the same.

I won't recommend Windows RT at this stage. Windows 8 devices? Yes depending on how they balance power and performance. But RT? Not in its 1.0 iteration.
[Windows RT General] netham45:
I went to Best Buy yesterday and they had the 32GB version for $599. It's stupid that it's both more expensive than the Surface, and it feels like a flimsy toy in comparison to the surface.
[Windows RT General] shagkie:
Welcome to Asus and enjoy your stay :)
[Windows RT General] shahran:
Seriously one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. I even talked to their corporate in CA and the guy I spoke to was a TOTAL ****. Its not like I got the freaking tablet for free. No one in my family is ever buying anything from them again.

I like to bag on Apple a lot, but I know 100% this would never happen with them. The one time I had an Iphone, I shipped out the phone for service got got a brand new one two days later at my house.

I had to ship out the tablet so they can fix the dummy micro sd slot that is stuck in tablet, and I am actually fearful they will do something to it. This company is shady. Had to make my own box for it to send out because they said if I sent out the original box I might not get it back. And its going to take more than 20 days for the whole process.
[Windows RT General] terwax:
Haven't received my dock yet.

Submitted on the 8 of this month but still says: Your application has been submitted. Emailed them and they told me to contact a tool free number which I haven't done yet.

If I don't get this dock by January 7th, I'm going to return it or get iPad. That will cost me $430 vs $530 I paid and have little memory available from 32gb =( .

Al though I'd prefer to get Nexus 10, it's just I bought $500 gift card for $430 so saved $70 there. Can only be used in-store so no surface or Nexus 10.

Also how to use NFC? Can't find any options for it...
[Windows RT General] apatcas:
If you buy the Asus Vivo RT from Microcenter it's 499. And i got my dock from them. I have a letter in the mail basically saying that Asus is being slow with delivering them and i should come to the store with that letter to get a new dock.

went to the store and got my tab. I'll post the letter if anyone wants to see.

499 plus a free dock... cant beat that. And after i got the dock i am using my tablet so much more. I can finally use my remoteapps fine and do all i need to do in switches. There isn't even one decent ssh or telnet utility on the market right now. So i made myself a remote app.
[Windows RT General] svarien:
I received my dock finally, 10 days after I submitted the claim for it. Up until that point the online registration page still showed my claim as submitted but I received no shipping information.
[Windows RT General] terwax:
funny us canadians pay $600

NCIX has them for 550 now..
[Windows RT General] Magaboo:
I got my Asus Vivo RT on 28 Dec 12, at NCIX in Canada for $499. Thus far I'm quite happy with the tab especially after a massive windows update early in Jan 13. Useful apps, in the MS Store, are pretty sparse, but hopefully that will improve in time. I've submitted my application for the dock the day I bought the tab, but have not received it to date, Hopefully I'll get it before the tab wears out. Thus far I have no complains with the tab.

Update: Returned the Vivo to NCIX. The touch screen went a little funky after 24 days. Ghost touches all over the screen and the 'Charms' stopped working as well. I liked the build-in GPS, but build quality just doesn't seem to be there. I like the Surface, but with no GPS, I am undecided.
[Windows RT General] Ruwin:
Go for the VivoTab Smart if you think the RT is not for you. It's a more capable CPU and Windows 8, not RT. Performance is just perfect (i am comparing it with my gaming laptop - another Asus). Aaaaaand it's pretty resistant: i had an unplanned drop test, and it passed it!
[Windows RT General] mikegadd:
Alternative

Again in context I have laptop Dell Duo Flip screen. Nexus 7, Playbook 64gb ( I like gadgets). I was considering a Surface RT or Surface Pro.

From a post I made in another thread.

But I ended up with a RM Slate 100 (EXOPC) 2gb Memory, 32gb mini pe ssd card (also spare slot for second ssd card or gps unit, 2 usb ports full size, HDMI out, SD Card slot (I added 32gb 45mb sec) 11.6 inch screen I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. in all it cost me £180 pounds.

Weight 2.09 pounds Surface pro 2 lbs

it was a gamble but the result is a very capable Surface Pro look alike. Any wireless keyboard will work when needed. Linked to my Nexus with a mouse and keyboard simulator it works great through plasma TV via HDMI. Skydrive adds another 48gb storage, dropbox for moving files around.

Added bonus Android for X86 works as well from SD Card .

Boot time 20 sec with Office 2010 loaded. Program start times ready to go Word 3 sec, Excel 1.8 sec, Outlook 4.5 sec, Paintshop Pro X5 31 sec.

Any one else put together a surface pro look alike.

How does a Surface compare.

windows 8 has made this all possible.
[Windows RT General] ungeeked:
Surface Pro has an i5 processor, Intel HD 4000 graphics and a 1080p screen. No competition

Also how is the battery life with your configuration?

Can it play 1080p videos smoothly (my Win 7 atom netbook couldn't)

And I feel that 20s is too much when booting from ssd
[Windows RT General] mikegadd:
Battery life 4-6 hours

Just tried bbc iplayer in HD no lag or stutter, boot times depend on what's loading at start up I have 8 extra's loading.
[Windows RT General] carguy303:
I got the Vivo Tab RT from the Microsoft store for 400 usd before Christmas and ive been using it ever since and I love it. Even at the same price I don't know if the surface is better, the screen is awesome and the battery life I get from the dock is incredible.
[Windows RT General] goodintentions:
I just bought a vivotab rt and discovered that everything works great except the led flash. Has there been any progress in getting this fixed?
[Windows RT General] shahran:
I believe the ASUS Camera app has been updated several times now and it should working, see if you have to update yours.

As a note to my op, I am not sure if I would be so as hard on the device considering the price has come down like crazy; you can get a new one on ebay for under $400, where I paid $650 back then. But I guess that also shows this was not a very successful device....

I still use mine but I think there are many better options that are or will soon be available with better specs.
[Windows RT General] goodintentions:
My led works now. In fact, everything works great for me.

I got mine a couple days as a used device from amazon. Only $334. Works flawlessly now that I've updated. Selling my tf infinity.

It's a shame that the price for this device has dropped so much. It's a very capable, very solid device. I don't know why not more people buy this device.

I have to admit that I did not buy this device when it first launched even though I was eyeing it since day one was because of the price. I was waiting for the price to drop. From $599 brand new to $334 slightly used. With the docking station at $68 free shipping, I've managed to break even with my overused, worn out infinity LOL.
[Windows RT General] e.mote:
>It's a shame that the price for this device has dropped so much. It's a very capable, very solid device. I don't know why not more people buy this device.

Asus didn't have much success selling "detachable" hybrids on Android either, as you can attest to with the TF Infinity. I see the problem as two-fold: a) hybrids are premium-priced compared to pure tablets; b) they aren't as portable as pure tablets. Asus had better success with the $200 Nexus 7, and its new spring line will be the MemoPad, which is a pure tablet "value" line. This trend (toward lower pricing) doesn't bode well for Win8 itself, which is predicated on premium-priced hybrids.

RT products hitting the bargain bin early is also a reflection of the RT platform's precarious situation. Sales of the Surface RT, flagship of the whole Win-on-ARM project, hasn't improved from its dismal state. Vendors are bailing. It's up to MS to turn the ship around and prove its viability, and my opinion is that RT may be left to its fate, as MS has larger worries at the moment--ie preventing its two cash cows, Windows and Office, from sinking into irrelevance. Win8 isn't exactly on fire, and the push to get consumers to pay $100/yr for Office 365 is a long shot at best.

It's like looking at a quaking tower of jello, with RT being the cherry rolling around on top.

Since December that I have my Asus Vivotab RT and I just love it. I love the docking and most of the time my laptop stays at the office on the docking station because outside of the office I only use now the Asus.

[Windows RT General] glange65:
Don't buy asus

I have owned two ASUS devices (both Android, both purchased a few months apart), and they were by far the worst decisions. I realize the Op systems are different (mine were Android), but I can't believe the company is any better with W8 devices.

Both products were very buggy. The Android "updates" were horrible, rendering the devices unusable for weeks at a time This is their responsibility, not Android's as the system is different from device to device. Was forced to "root" them just to get something usable.

So filled with "bloatware" ...In on tablet, there were 3 book readers, 2 file managers, 3 music players, etc. And in Android, they were "system apps', so couldn't be removed.

Service.....what a laugh. There was no service. Seriously, couldn't get service of any kind. One serious issue wasn't responded to for 7 weeks...and I followed up with phone calls and emails almost daily

AND WORST YET....BOTH devices suffered fatal failures just weeks after the warranty expired. One had a complete power control failure, the other the processor was fried. Took both to multiple tech/repair experts, every one of them told me that they see a LOT of ASUS devices and most can't be fixed (Mine couldn't). Badly built and substandard materials.

STAY AWAY FROM ASUS PRODUCTS!
[Windows RT General] fracussj4:
Well, I've had my asus vivo tab rt since december and I have to say it's the best option for students, it has Office and lasts longer than a whole day. I just love it:) I saw some lag in the performance (touch response and loss of fluidity in animations) after last update, though. Anyone knows what that may be? Reinstalling the system didn't work since the problem occured once again after updating:/
[Windows RT General] sergiopi:
I am using it since the beginning of January. Good device, you need something to protect it, nice, fast, slow in rotation. I suggest to change the screen resolution, set four rows in metro app and smaller keyboard, enable flash for your favorite websites.

Compared with my friend's RT it is slower in rotation but faster in daily use, good keyboard/docking (with second battery added and standard USB port), lighter than Surface RT, with better screen colors. Aesthetic.... you choose but have a look side by side with a Surface device!

Cheap (you have a full featured office installed), really good for professionals.
