>Office-style apps are improving, however, and as I recall MS is planning an Android release of Office is targeted for early summer 2013. Android LibreOffice is also anticipated for 2013.

Office 2013 is still a desktop suite that requires mouse/KB. The only accommodation to touch is enlarged controls for fingers access. If MS can't bring touch to its billion-dollar cash cow, I don't see the open-source guys, or the $5-app guys, making the leap. (BTW, I did check into LibreOffice's progress before saying this.)

As for MS Office's Android foray, MS already has the free web-based Office Web Apps (currently still in beta). I assume the iOS/Android version will simply be an app wrapper for the site. I doubt it'll be a quantum improvement over Android's existing solutions.

I certainly agree that a 12" laptop can be a viable primary system. Ultraportables have been around for a long time, and the 11-12" is a proven size. A 10" tablet is far, far from the functionality of a 12" laptop, however. It's not only about the 2" diagonal difference. There are many usability constraints already mentioned elsewhere. Here's one: full-screen apps only.

I disagree that a tablet + display/keyboard dock = productivity tablet. A tablet's value is in its mobility, and it needs to be productive in stand-up as well as sit-down configurations. A tablet needs to be productive on its own terms, not as an underpowered laptop.

It will require new software, and maturation of the mobile OS'es. It will require new techs, such as high-speed wireless connectivity. You shouldn't need a dock; you shouldn't need to sit down. Wireless display for output, headless server running VMMs for computing power.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I've had the N10 for two days and I can't understand how anyone can prefer the tf700 if theyve used both devices. The tf700 is frustrating to use for simple tasks.. even something as simple as just bringing up the keyboard can lag horribly. I still have my tf700 and my regret is that I should have sold it earlier instead of waiting to see if the N10 was any better. The only thing I will miss is having an sdcard even though it took the tf700 light years to write to it.
[Nexus 10 General] tuffballa:
how many of you here had/have the note 10.1 and prefer going back to it or keeping it over the nexus10?
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Yup...I'm finding one aspect about this interesting. I had the TF700T for just under 2 months (58 days), and between the lag, and a bit of discomfort holding the tab (slightly sharp edges where the metal cover meets the screen), I found the Infinity uncomfortable to hold for any length of time -- very subtle, but noticeable and a bit irritating. The N10 just works out of the box -- gorgeous display, silky smooth with no lag, noticeable more comfortable to hold -- nice slightly rubberized back and rounded rubberized case edge meeting the glass -- doesn't irritate where my thumb rests on it while holding the tablet one handed.

The interesting part for me is that these differences aren't huge -- and the Infinity does have some very appealing features. But, for whatever combination of reasons, I wound up using the Infinity less and less often. In contrast, the N10 experience has been so positive that I find myself carrying it all around the house and office, and using it more and more throughout the day (and into the evening). Seems that the confluence of user experience benefits (for me at least) in use of the N10 vs. the Infinity have made the N10 a key component in so much of my daily routine, whereas the Infinity wound up losing my interest. Very happy here with the N10, and looking forward to doing quite a bit more with it.
[Nexus 10 General] aznmode:
Theres no doubt n10 is a way better performing device tablet for tablet but with the kb dock, extended battery, and expanded memory makes the tf700 hard to disregard. I'm still very undecided which to keep. Maybe once I unlock the tf700 then it'll make it easier.
[Nexus 10 General] stormricker:
I had both as well...............and you summed it up quite nicely. :cool:
[Nexus 10 General] nytemare69:
Well said...Only an absolute moronic would further this argument.

Having come from a tf201--which I really enjoyed, and having considered the tf700, I'm glad I chose the Nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 General] Funkym0nkey:
I am one of those who still owns Note 10.1 and sold my Infinity just few days ago.

Frankly as an entertainment device, nothing beats Note 10.1. It has same overall profile like N10, Similar dimensions, just little wider and that thing is crammed with so many features that even though many wont use is nice thing to have. And it plays back every file that I throw at it without breaking sweat. And at the moment it just works day in and day out. Sure it took great deal of developer community effort to give the nice smooth operation that that device has now, but it is there.

I love how Samsung puts out leaks after leaks with tweaks and community devs keep improving on them.

On the other hand, my experience with TF700T has been a mixed bag of good and utter disappointment with the bugs and at times very strange behaviour. And I am not the only one. Most people in my family were on TF700T as we got it as soon as it launched. Total 5 devices in immediate friend and family circle. The I/O performance issues of that pad are well documented. IT was headache when it launched. 3 tablets out of 5 had issues related to touch input. 1 has bad speaker which started cracking few weeks back and had to be sent for repairs. Those touch input issues keep coming back every now and then out of blue when daemons inside tablets decide they want to screw with us. The tablet does not play nice with Asus's own 802.11ac router running at 2.4Ghz 802.11N speeds. Drops connection just 10 feet away at times. All other devices are rock solid even on roof of my house 2 levels up and to the parking lot 2 levels down. The keyboard issues, less said the better.

So no, there is no perfect device out there. I wont even thing about going back to Infinity. Note 10.1 is a different beast now and that is why I still have not sold it. I dont feel like selling it as it just works. And I use it for work and it has largely replaced my notebook for everything other than spreadsheet editing. But the damn screen on Nexus is what keeping me hanging and I am ready to wait it out until few software issues are sorted out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Hey,

anyone has got an idea how to flash radio / bp.img in Safestrap? The usual way in Bootstrap, CWM or whatever is the following (example):

assert(show_progress(0.2, 2),
ui_print("RAZR ICS Radio U_04.11.00R");
ui_print("Packed by dtrail");
ui_print("Updating Radio...");
package_extract_file("bp.img", "/tmp/bp.img"),
show_progress(0.8, 35),
motorola.motoflash("/tmp/bp.img"),
delete("/tmp/bp.img"));
ui_print("");ui_print("");
ui_print("All Done, **** MOTO and Enjoy!");

In Safestrap 3 which is based on TWRP we get an flash error status 6.

What do you think? My idea is something like that:

ui_print("");

ui_print("Baseband");
ui_print("Flashing bp.img");
ui_print("Extracting bp.img to temp folder...");

show_progress(0.250000, 0);
assert(package_extract_file("bp.img", "/tmp/bp.img"));

assert(write_raw_image("/tmp/bp.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk[B]X[/B]p[B]XX[/B]"));

ui_print("mdm Flash complete!");
ui_print("Clearing temp files...");

assert(delete("/tmp/bp.img"));
show_progress(0.500000, 0);

I am afraid of testing that and I need to know the right partition address for baseband.

Any idea?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hashcode:
can't flash radio in SS3. That needs a custom updater binary which Safestrap wont use. (this is a feature, not a bug)

Almost all of the destructive actions in the updater binary are filtered so that even if scripts are written badly, they still work against the rom-slots and not your stock partitions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Is it a problem using moto updater binary?? pls advice if you know.

You can create a separate menu just for bp.img flashing.

That won't defeat your "filtered updater-binary" purpose.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Whirleyes is right. Why don't use moto binary? Flashing a bp.img won't break any Rom slot. But this would be a really wanted feature because all radios which aren't available from fastboot files cannot be flashed via fastboot or SS3. And it's really messy to install bmm only for flashing a baseband which was taken from a Moto OTA.

XT910 - D-WiZ 2.0.2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Can you please tell me the actual commands for flashing a bp.img innBMM 0.3.0? The comands from 0.2.7 doesn't work anymore. I want to include this option in my AROMA script. thx.

Does anyone else have this kind of battery drain from maps?

I have tried it with gps location on and off, same result.

Is there a way to tell which process in the phone is using the maps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
It has to do with Google Now.

Turn off the features of Google Now you don't use and also on the maps app turn off report from this device and that will help.

My maps usage went down a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] POL3ND:
Open maps, go to settings, then location settings, uncheck everything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] almostinsane:
I had the same issue. I deleted google maps via Root Uninstaller and re-downloaded from the store. The issue of maps sucking up all the battery went away.

try that.

I cant update any apps on me nexus7 now running 4.2.1 and still same issue the updates i choose just keep showing downloading and never download anything. Anyone else having this issue
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Did you clear your framework services cache to get the update maybe? This is one of the symptoms I have read about.

I think the fix was to delete your playstore account on the Nexus and then sign in again.

Others may have better input.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdubcramp:
Yeah, sign out and back in. Should fix that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
Ok will try that could not even downloadf any other app either.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
Ok i deleted the play account and added a different one and same problem, cant get any apps stuck on downloasding progress bar.

Also how do do you sign out of the account
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
Also i did download the update to 4.2 via framework clear method.

Iv added a different account google play store I'm still does not work
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
Go into settings apps find google play click on it .. Clear cache and data .. reboot your tablet

If that does not work . and only then .

go into settings accounts google.. in the google account at the top right click the ... then delete account. REBOOT. it will prompt you to set up your Google account again once it boots backup...

This should Solve your troubles. If not and only then go into settings apps all

FIND GOOGLE FRAMEWORK .. clear data in there..

Good Luck

Im thinking this is software more than hardware issue. Anyone know how to fix this? Id hate to have to do a full wipe on the tablet to try and resolve this,
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
Get on your computer... Go to play.google.com. log in..

find a simple app and click install.. See if it will install the app to your Nexus 7 ...

or if the nexus is grayed out...if grayed out try a few apps. that we know should work in the nexus. .

This will check to see if your tab has been disabled with wallet... if you can push to the device its just a bug and play store is down for you wait a hour...

By the way ARE you totally stock .. ?

if not whats your configuration
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
totally stock, not even rooted. will try when i get back home later today,
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arusiasotto:
I had this issue on a rooted N7 with TWRP. After I managed to get the update side loaded, nothing would update and the poor darling vanished from the Google Play website as well. I had to do a factory reset. Then everything was golden. I didn't even lose root, thanks to OTA Rootkeeper.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
i didnt even try to sideload the update, all i did was the clear framework cache thingy and then update came and i updated it,

not happy with this if i have to start sideloading all my apps from now on since i dont want to be wiping it to factory settings, i will try the suggestion above when i get home though and see if play store is working, may just let it keep downloading for an hour or so and see if that works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arusiasotto:
I think it was the framework clearing that may have caused it. I too tried that step to try and force the update to download. T'was all bad man. However, once I factory reset it, I just left it plugged into power and went out for dinner, when I got back it had downloaded all the apps I had registered on Google Play. Amazon was a different beast of course. By all means, let it percolate and it might fix itself, just keep that reset in mind.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
will do, when i get home will leave the tablet on and let it keep trying to install the apps,

when it goes into standby mode when the screen powers off will it still be trying to install the apps in the background or does in standby mode the install process stop?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
i tried this push method from the computer, it is also not working, the tablet booted up and started downloading the google drive app which is free but its just stick on the downloading progress bar going and nothing being downloaded. been waiting for 20 mins for it now, will wait longer and see if it does download but i thik something is messed up with the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
ok let it carry on downloading for over an hour came back and it had errored out with message stating error 495.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
tried everything now, even tried uninstalling the google play store update and still no luck, cant download anything from the playstore just keeps saying downloading, getting frustrated with this now, ever since the update to android 4.2 the battery life has been crap and it not getitng anything from market.

just dont understand why.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
Are you maybe connected trough any proxies, vpns, tethered 3g... you get the point....? Have you tried other wifis? I'm sure a neighbor wouldn't mind lending you wifi for a quick test.

I remember I had such problem on my cell phone, it just wouldn't download from market, then I removed the proxy from APN and then it worked. I know the same doesn't apply to N7 (you don't have 3G right?), but it's worth a try.

The same happens if you manually cancel downloads, and try updating them one by one?

If nothing so far works, hook it up to pc, copy all data, get App backup and restore to keep you apps, and factory reset it. It really doesn't take all that long compared to all the troubleshooting you're doing now.

Hope you solve it!

guess at this point in time i got no other options left, although i suspect something else is messed up on this tablet and a factory reset may not even solve the issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
i will do a factory reset tonight, question is will doing factory reset put the device back to stock android 4.1.1 which it came with or will it go to a clean 4.2.1?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
I'm not sure whether it will work or not, but if you're sending the device into RMA, you're gonna end up with a new one anyway, so you have nothing to lose.

I'm pretty sure it will stay at 4.2.1, if it doesn't, then you should get OTA updates.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
just done the factory reset, it wiped everything and went to a clean 4.2.1 on its own.

there were some apps on play store for updating such as chrome, and i tried to do the updates,

same problem as before, cant update, just stuck at downloading.

how is this possible? how can i fix this now? must be rma time? or is there a way to revert it back to 4.1.2?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
ok something not right here, i think its something to do with my google account, i just got my old tegra 2 tablet out, and iv noticed that i cant update any apps or download any on there, and it uses the same google account.

something has happened to the account i believe.

i know i added and removed a credit card from google wallet some time ago and i got a feeling thats when this problem started.

need to check this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
something else is the problem here, made a new google account and wiped the tablet again and did setup with the new account, still cant install apps form play store, and my old tegra2 tablet is doing the same thing, which means something else is fishy here. will investigate tomorrow too tired now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
ok this makes no sense, i took both my tablets to my cousins house, connected to his wifi and the playstore works fine, apps can be downloaded and updated no problems.

somethings ot right.

Why don't you just turn off the sync for it? And/or freeze it with Titanium Backup? If you remove it, you'll mess up getting future OTAs.
[General Questions and Answers] oldyoungguy:
I have a 1GB RAM + 4GB ROM phone, and I added a 16GB sd card. I heard the backup/recovery cannot include the sd card. So that means all programs should be installed in the internal space and phone space, which is where that 4GB ROM is. 4GB seems not enough then.

I know may people move apps from internal space and phone space to sd card. If we cannot backup/recovery the sd card, how can we restore to the original state when something bad happened?

How do you manage your space of your phone?
