[Nexus 10 General] nirurin:
Ok in hindsight, I may have been quick to write-off the note10, at the time of posting I was on a break at work and rather tired haha. One of the reasons I was thinking of avoiding the note was its age... I thought it had been released long enough ago that it would be soon due an update. However, I just checked... and it only came out mid-august... so I think I must have been thinking of the note phones.

Even though I currently do not use pressure sensitivity at all... this doesn't mean it wouldnt be a good idea for me to start incorporating it, I dont want to get stuck in my ways or anything!!

In which case, does the note10 have the power and ability to multi-task floating apps (chat and/or videos) while running drawing programs? If so... I may have to look into places that are doing deals on the note. As of my last look, it was selling for the same price as the nexus10, which is why I thought the nexus was the better "bang for the buck"...

The reason I'm looking at new powerful devices is because I want this to be future-proofed against anything I might need it for for the next couple of years (the same amount of time my trusty ipad1 lasted me). I figured I was safe with the nexus, because of the custom ROMS that would be made for it, with it being the main tablet release of the season.

edit: turns out that, while both the basic Note and the basic Nexus are retailing at £319, I am possibly able to get the note for £279... which means a decent case and any cable accessories are essentially "free"... Which is a big plus.

I need to find some information on the quality of the screen, as it is relatively very low resolution compared to the competition.. barely more than my original iPad1 in fact?

edit 2: unfortunatly, I can only get it in white for that price lol. Shame.

edit 3: hmm... Seems I can also get a white note 10.1 for £253, as long as I also buy a case with it (which I always intended to anyway)... so this seems a bargain as long as they sell a decent case... the white ones must look horrible though, if its the only ones anyone is selling off cheap!!
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
If you can wait a good half year I'm sure a 2560*1600 Note will come out, hopefully around 12", which would be the perfect buy, but personally I just can't wait to get my hands on the Nexus 10. If drawing is important, go for the Note, there's no real alternative.
[Nexus 10 General] nirurin:
This is true, though money is also a factor, and I have now found a "grey" (least its not bright white, though I may have to check it out in store sometime) note 10.1 for £268. Which isn't bad.

Its just whether I would rather spend £50 more, and get nexus. A screen thats got twice the resolution, and a significantly faster processor, would mean being safely future proofed. I'll have to decide just how much the pressure-sensitivity is worth to me..
[Nexus 10 General] HoushaSen:
As someone else mentioning in above, if drawing with pen is important factor for you, I believe neither Nexus 10 or iPad 4 may be the best answer. I am not familiar with drawing but Vector drawing may not require high accuracy/pen-paper feeling, if so I believe Nexus 10 or iPad 4 be great as they have phenomenal screen resolution to display your art.

Otherwise, two options:

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

It has inductive pen technology i.e. you can get the feeling of pen and paper. Downside is screen resolution. Though coming from original iPad, you will unlikely to notice the screen resolution difference. So it may be ok. Otherwise, very stable and speedy device.

2. Samsung Ativ Smart PC

This is Windows 8 Atom processor based tablet. It comes with Wacom stylus, runs real windows 8 i.e. you should be able to run most of windows native software, and if you like you can buy optional keyboard to make it to like real laptop. The downside with this is price - expensive even considering 64GB internal storage. Windows 8 is great for legacy program, but tablet wise still lacking application. Screen resolution is essentially same as Galaxy Note 10.1 i.e. not the level of Nexus 10 or iPad 4.
[Nexus 10 General] nirurin:
Thanks for the idea, but the Ativ is way too expensive, pretty much 3x the cost of the Note. I am but a poor boy, from a poor family... (insert head banging music here)...

I use vectors because it makes it easier to resize and edit work afterwords (compared to bitmap images). The reason the pen doesnt matter for the iPad, is because you can use a "Pen" tool, essentially dragging and dropping and editing lines, without directly drawing them. This is accurate, though a little time consuming, though because of the constant zooming in-and-out that you need to do for fine detail work it works out for the best.

Having the S-Pen is not a selling point to me exactly... but if it works well, and I learn to use it, it can only improve my overall work... and that would make it worth the money in itself.

One issue with capacitive screens was the accuracy, as even stylus' need to be around fingertip-size in order to register. If the S-Pen is much more "pointy" (i will need to investigate this) then it would immediately be helpful... much less zooming in and out to get accurate lines...
[Nexus 10 General] HoushaSen:
3x price is Ativ Smart Pro. I am talking about Ativ PC, which is Atom processor not i5. It is 649 without keyboard dock. Cons against Pro is inferior CPU/GPU, no Full HD screen, 2GB memory instead of 4GB. However, it has its benefit which are long battery life, relatively light weight.

But if you don't need Spen/Wacom, I think you can't go wrong with either Nexus 10 or iPad 4. It's really depends on what ecosystem you like. If you really have very specific task/goal you like to achieve, and it already works well on iOS platform, I say stick with it as it saves you money if you already own apps for it.

Personally, I needed more flexibility than iOS so went to Android. Now I saw even more flexibility option available i.e. real windows, so I jumped on it.
[Nexus 10 General] nirurin:
Well £649 is still more than double the Note10.1 price (I can get it for £268 at the moment), and I already have a very nice laptop for the high-end stuff :)

I bought the iPAd back when I had an iphone3GS. Now though, I have a GalaxyS2... so it almost seems fitting to try out an android tablet. And the multi-windows support and dual-view on the Note looks much more interesting than the same-old iOS stuff that I'm already used to. Even jailbroken, theres only so much you can do with an iPad (I should know, ive done it already!)

As long as the android tablets arent inherantly broken in some way (I keep hearing about issues with light leakages and stuff on the nexus, but might just be from a bad batch), I am more tempted by the android side of things. There might be less apps at the moment, but it will catch up soon enough, and the ability to play around with widgets etc makes it seem more interesting as a day-to-day tool.

True, I will be losing out on... maybe £20-£30 of apps from the apple store. But some of those were bought months ago, and in the scheme of things its not much of a big deal. If I ever go back to an iPad 5 or 6 in the future, they will still be there for me (I assume).

edit: didnt finish my point. If the androids are both well built ect, it seems I will go for one of them. And because of the price, the multi-view, and the potential benefit of the SPen, the Note is currently edging ahead slightly.
[Nexus 10 General] HoushaSen:
Well sounds like your mind is set to Android ecosystem, which is great. I personally love it. Multiwindow support of Galaxy Note 10.1 is great concept but just to warn you. It is not true multitasking i.e. if you think about doing your Vector thing, or even play game and browse, that won't work. Simply because Multitasking on Note 10.1 is limited to selected applications which are browser, S-note, Video, email etc. But not every apps. But considering hardware limitation and 10.1 inch screen, I think it's reasonable to have selected app to be supported. Personally, the biggest sales point of Note 10.1 was its stability, speed, and S-pen.

If you need true multitasking, you need Windows Tablet, but if you are from iPad I am certain it is not your top priority. By the way, I don't know Euro. But Ativ Smart PC 64GB sells $649 here in US and Galaxy Note 10.1 32GB sells for $499 thus total price difference is US$150. Again whether the cost difference is worth or not depends on your use.
[Nexus 10 General] bee55:
As I'm sure you are aware, we weren't talking about who manufactured the displays, but rather about their quality. If you take your time to watch or read any review which compares the iPad 4's display to the N10's one, you will see that the iPad's color reproduction is visibly better. Now also while RAM might matter in the comparison of Android devices, the iPad runs a quite different OS and I'm pretty sure the 'only' 1GB RAM wouldn't be a bottleneck for these apps; it would probably be memory bandwidth and CPU power.

This said I have just placed my order on a Nexus 10 and I strongly prefer Android to iOS, yet I have to admit that the iPad has it's strengths as well (I've actually been considering getting an iPad 4 instead of the N10 because of the superior app selection, but as I love my SGS3 and Android itself I've decided to get the N10 and just hope that more tablet apps will start to appear for Android).
[Nexus 10 General] nirurin:
The cheapest I can find in the UK (on google anyway), ignoring eBay, is over £600. Not sure why this would be.

There is a thread on the Note forum where someone has made it possible to add the multi-window support to a lot of other apps by altering their .apk, in a fairly easy process. Probably wont work with every app, but still. Anyway, while I'm drawing the most I would want is a chat app running, and I believe LilypadHD does that as a floating app anyway? (though this works on the Nexus as well, no need for a Note for it.)

I dont plan to be playing games much anyway, if at all.

It seems the note has a fair few nice apps that samsung has put on it, and the pen itself of course. The only reason im still umming and ahhing is the Nexus; sexy high def screen and powerhouse of a processor.

Although if I'm not going to use it to its potential (eg gaming, i guess) then maybe its a waste.
[Nexus 10 General] HoushaSen:
Wow $600 for Ativ Smart PC is definitely a lot... Wonder if the price is raised from retail due to short supply. In any event, Note 10.1 is phenomenal device. Nexus 10 is great device as well and I seriously put a thought onto it before. It is great but at the same time unfortunate that in this era of tablet, there are so many options yet no system is perfect/completely superior to others. Nexus 10 IS unfortunately not my choice (note it is present tense as may change in the future) because of lack of microSD, keyboard dock, and Wacom digitizer. I had to return Note 10.1 only because of lack of screen resolution, which I did not notice if I went straight from iPad 2 to Note 10.1. But I had Infinity in between so Full HD resolution was just too hard to give it up.

If you don't play game, the time you will notice the difference in resolution is reading text e.g. kindle, browser etc. The text is just so much more crisp. You just really need to list the features that you want, and the purpose of the tablet you are using for. Because you will unavoidably have to make a comprise to one or two features. In my case with Ativ Smart PC, I am compromising screen resolution, and some tablet optimized application availability. I'm looking forward to Surface Pro, but even with it I am compromising battery life, and weight.... Good luck on your search. :)
[Nexus 10 General] NIK516:
Note 10.1 please don't east your time with the others they don't have a digitizer surface for wacom pressure sensative pens.

And the Res does not matter because you will zoom in and out. I own a wacom tablet and it nothing like my nexus 10 for sketching.

The only pen option you have for I pad and nexus is the go smart stylus has a spring ed tip
[Nexus 10 General] fredphoesh:
Hello guys,

I have a nexus 10 and like it, but for painting/drawing, imo it is crap compared to an ipad.

Try signing your name as quickly as you normally would. You will hardly be able to recognise your handwriting. The nexus 10 samples the stylus position way too infrequently, and the "tweening" that takes place, drastically smooths out the direction of your stylus strokes.

Ive tried Sketchpad, Infinite Paint, Gnotes, other painting tools, and they all suffer the same problem.

My SGS3 is a LOT better as is my wife's i****e 4s.

David Hockey created huge wall murals for his amazing exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art this year. They were done on an ipad... so at the moment, I would say iPad is superior for painting. Nexus 10 is crap and I have no experience of the tweening problem on the Note 10.1.

Mark.

Like the person you quoted said, the Note is the best when it comes to anything involving stylus input.

[Nexus 4 General] tehrules:
Hey Guys,

Mentioned this on a couple of other threads, but I feel it needs a dedicated one.

Firstly, the output from the headphone jack to the line in on my car is poor, the level is so low i'm cranking it up to 20 just to get a decent listenable volume level, my previous phones (Atrix, Nokia N900) didn't require this.

Secondly, if I use my car charger with the phone and try and use the line in, there is massive interference that is louder than the output its self making it impossible to listen to music. Again another issue not present on my previous phones using the same charger.

I am going to attempt to make a recording of the noise, and I'll upload this later.

Can a few other people test this out and see if you get the same result please?

Cheers

Andy
[Nexus 4 General] BruceCLin:
Just get a ground loop filter for $5 and you are golden.
[Nexus 4 General] haas599:
I have noticed low headphone output also. I use a ground loop filter so I haven't noticed too much white noise but having to turn up the volume louder than normal to make up for the low output makes it worse. I only hear it in-between songs.
[Nexus 4 General] tehrules:
Hmm I'll try and find a ground loop isolator and see if that makes any improvement.

Just don't understand why it is such an issue on the Nexus 4.

The noise for me is louder than the audio that is being output rendering it useless. Going to upgrade my car with bluetooth at some point so that will solve all the problems.

So the other day I flashed a 4.2 ROM and couldn't get back through NAND and all of this mess but was finally able to get back by restoring factory settings and flashing the old ROM I had. When I went to restore my apps with titanium backup about half were missing and the ones I had didn't work. I still couldn't do use a backup to recover because NY backup that had been about 1.5gb was down to 22.5mb because files had gone missing there too. Does anyone know what may have caused things to disappear like that or of any apps for the phone or PC that j can use to recover them? I tried Hexamob but it doesn't show any files after the scan and I've been able to use disk digger but it only shows pics. I've tried a bunch of computer programs but my phone doesn't show up in them even though the computer shows it. I'm not sure if that is my device or if it has something to do with the whole MTP thing. PLEASE any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated because I'm losing my mind here.this mess has almost been enough to make he want to stop flashing....almost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
when you upgrade to 4.2 the sdcard format changes from data/media to data/media/0, was all you stuff moved to the "0" folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace8707:
It was moved to the 0/ folder but like I said stuff was somehow missing/deleted. I've looked all over and it's just gone. TB files and parts of my backup folder which is making it impossible to restore the backup. I think I need to find some way to restore deleted apps but have not been able to find anything that works yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace8707:
So after going through more files it looks like a lot of things either aren't being read correctly, have shrunken down significantly, or have somehow been partially deleted. Aside from the things above, some movie & video files I had are down from about 700mb to about 150mb. Pictures are shrunken from a frew Mb to a few Kb. This is crazy - I have no idea what happened to everything here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qbanlinxx:
I had the same issue happen to me. Eventually just formatted the sd card and started over. I'm sure there was a much easier and less extreme way to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace8707:
I really really hope so. I'll be losing hundreds pf pics and videos and other documents plus all the app data and what not. What caused it to happen to you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattbradfo:
same dumb thing happening to me... i flashed 4.2 and then all my files were moved around in weird places, and they all say they are corrupt. After about 3 hours of trying to recovery all my pics, videos, and everything else i seemed to have somehow lost, I think i'm just gunna have to format everything and start from scratch. I'm kinda mad at Google :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace8707:
Yea my problem started with flashing a preview AOKP 4.2 build, but I have no idea why it affected my entire SD card and caused such a mess. Definitely not Google's fault. I spent 2 days looking for answers and ended up copying my entire SD to my computer in hopes that I can recover some of this stuff at some point and reformatted the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace8707:
Well the thing I was most upset about losing was a bunch of pictures and then my apps & their data (obviously have to be on there). The moral of the story really is that I need to be using cloud storage much more like auto upload for pictures and the upload to dropbox on TB. I just need to go through a mourning phase before I can move on and start setting that stuff up and rebuilding.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bard77:
I'm posting this because I need some help with my Nook Color. I've had it since August of 2011 and rooted it right away. I didn't have any major issues until this past week when I tried to flash a new ROM. The ROM initially loaded up fine, but when I tried to boot back into recovery to flash GAPPS, as per the instructions of the ROM developer, my Nook got stuck at the "Cyanogen Loading...." screen. It would not get past that point. I held the power button down to shut off, then held the power + N to manually boot into recovery, but it would just stay at "Booting into recovery...." and stay there. I have searched all over the Nook Color section and can not find anything that addresses this issue.

I tried loading ADB, but I can't get my PC to see my Nook to load the appropriate drivers. I was running CWM recovery. I am attaching a few pics of my screen so people can see what I'm talking about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all

i just changed my rom from PA 2.22 to xylon 006 and i think i am suffering from some battery drain issue but i am not very sure ...

first off when i was using PA i am able to get about 18 hours of battery with 3 hours of screen time ( about 100% - 10% ) on stock PA kernel by the way , while on xylon my battery life is11 hours and 30 minutes with 2 hours of screen time ( 100% - 0% ) on Trinity kernel 1420 - 384

( stock/ franco kernel creates a yellowish screen on my phone whereas trinity kernel fixes it ) i heard 4.2 have some issues with battery and i am not really complaining just trying to make sure , oh i just bough setcpu from playstore and i realized i can change the scheduler ( noop , deadline etc ) and some weird stuff called interactive , ondemand etc ..so should i meddle with it ? how should i tweak it to get maximum battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ren2008:
While i am on Trinity on dark PA 4.1.2, I know the kernel has some problems for now with 4.2 so i suggest you try Franco and install Trickster MOD app from the play store. Its free.

When installed, just apply the Trinity colors in screen section. Voilà!

Or reflash Xylon twice then the kernel. This might not be the kernel fault. Could be one gapp sucking all the juice... have you installed spyCPU and better battery stats to see which app was running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tohno:
kays thanks for the great advice downloading the app now! still what is the difference between franco and trinity kernel?
