[Acer Iconia Tab A100] syypher:
Hi guys just wondering what your input is on the nexus 7 vs this tablet? If $ wasn't an issue would you upgrade your a100 to a nexus 7? Why or why not?

Main reasons for me considering this is Nexus 7 way better battery life and screen display. Would miss the ad card slot though
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] maek_it_happen:
I would say other than the screen , the tegra 3 , and USB host there is not that much of an upgrade .....I would advise u to hold out till the price drops or wait for the next 7 inch
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] syypher:
Thanks :)

Anyone else care to weigh in on if it's worth it?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notjustafone:
I have had an acer a100 for about 6 months and recently bought a nexus 7. The a100 is rooted but running stock 4.03 with the gm kernel. Really rock solid overclocked at 1200. I also bought the A100 docking station, wish the Nexus 7 had a docking station.

I haven't rooted the Nexus 7 yet, it is running JB 4.2. Google needs to fix a few bugs before I would recommend 4.2 to anyone.

The biggest difference between the two is the display, the Nexus 7 is really sharp and clear. It's also a lot lighter and thinner, so I find myself carrying it around everywhere with me.

I always thought that I needed a microsd card slot, but 32gb on the Nexus 7 is plenty for what I use it for, and I could always use the OTG usb if I needed. HDMI out is a nice feature to have, but I don't use it very often and never really used the rear camera. So the features that the A100 have that aren't on the Nexus 7 don't really impact me.

Thats about all I can think of, to me the screen and size/weight on the Nexus 7 make the difference.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] syypher:
Whats the battery life on your a100? I think that is one of if not the biggest factor for me wanting to get a Nexus 7. I keep reading that the best you can get is 4-5 hours with the a100 while the Nexus 7 is 6-7 on hard use and even up to 8-9 on light/moderate use.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
5 was about the limit on my a100 for my usage, the n7 is easily giving me 7 of the same usage.

Sent from my Thrive - CM10.1 B2
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kslackoff:
Without the issue of $. I would definitely recommend getting a Nexus 7. The main reason is the battery life. Secondly, I would get it for the community. It is great that the A100 community is still active, and I am very grateful to Pio for continuing the rom building effort. However, the nexus 7 has a much larger userbase and therefore a much larger community. With more people hacking on it, it should mean that there will be more mods available and a larger likelihood that future changes will be ported to the platform.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rambo6:
I would definitely go with the Nexus 7. I have had the A100 for one year now. It has been well worth the $189 price I paid. However, I just bought the Nexus 7 with 3G. Here's my take on things.

Nexus 7 Pros

The Tegra 3 is very fast and smooth. Browsing the web on the Nexus 7 is the best browsing experience I've had. It seems to load pages faster than any other device.

It's always great to get the latest android OS without waiting.

The screen is bright and crisp. Viewing angles are great.

The battery lasts 10 hours.

The build quality is excellent.

The 3G option of $299 is excellent.

Lighter and easier to hold.

Nexus 7 Cons

No rear camera and flash.

No HDMI out.

Glass is not gorilla glass. Get a screen protector.

Overall, I much prefer the Nexus 7 over any 7" tablettablet
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Duffster73:
On moderate use my Nexus 7 will last a full day. 7 hours if I'm using it constantly.

First, try a different USB port. Second, after installing the drivers go to Settings on your phone and turn off USB Debugging and then plug in your phone. It should start to pop up little message boxes on the screen indicating the installation of the driver software.

After it says "installation completed successfully" turn on USB Debugging again and then plug it in and let it install again until it says the same confirmation.

Everything should work now.

It is best to install Kies seeing as how the driver software comes from it.

I personally just download an .exe file of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Drivers and installed those so I didn't have to use Kies.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Globespy:
I can't seem to find much information suggesting that Tmobile has been providing OTA updates for it's Galaxy Nexus?

Can anyone let me know? I'm thinking of buying the unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus and want to make sure I get updates.

I'm currently on my trusty old Samsung Vibrant (Original Galaxy S running Jelly Bean - and very nicely), so wondered if the galaxy nexus would really be much of a step forward in terms of performance? I'm not a gamer, just like a fast, fluid phone experience. I know the hardware specs are better on the nexus, but I'm seeing horrible threads about the battery life being horrendously bad, and I'm used to getting 24 hours no worries from my Vibrant running JB 4.1.2.

It's still close to $400 for the unlocked version, and I can buy a Galaxy S3 for $520-550, so wondered if I'm better waiting a month or two and getting an S3 for just under $500 versus dropping nearly $400 on the Nexus now?

Appreciate feedback, opinions.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrianr514:
Buy the Nexus on craigslist got mine last week for 150. Updates are handled directly by google t-mo has nothing to do with it.. if youre planning on spending 400 get the nexus 4 and its definitely worth it.. i also bought two slim extended 2100Mah batteries with charger for 15 bucks on amazon and with moderate to heavy usage i avereage 14 - 16 hours use before one dies on me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Even a brand new Galaxy Nexus don't cost $400, Google was selling it for 350 until they pulled it from stock and buried it in the Nevada desert. You can get a used one from Swappa for $250 or less.

When its a Nexus device it mean it get its updates directly from Google, it's the idea of being a Nexus. Google is committed to support it for atleast 18 months (if not longer if the hardware is still capable), even after that there will be many developers keeping it alive. (Except for CDMA Nexuses which may take longer top update).

If you have $400 to spend I suggest getting the LG Nexus 4 instead, you can order it directly from the Play Store. Also the Nexus 4 support the yet to be release TMobile LTE band, although it is to be seen if the modders can get it working with it.

The performance leap is big with the GNex, the leap with the Nexus 4 will be huge. The battery life for the GSM Nexus will last you a full day. Although you will have to say good bye to your microSD slot and Wolfson dac and probably bringing around your music collection as well, unless you plan to keep the Vibrant. Google do not allow microSD for Nexus devices.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
I was on Stock T999UVALH2

Rooted and all was fine

A few months later I did the small update to T999UVALH4

Again all was good.

Did the Update to the 4.1.1 OTA and phone went into a boot loop! (for a long time and while I was trying to do

different things to try to recover the phone.) I tried a whole bunch of stuff, and after trying to get into download mode,

and missing it, the phone booted into a screen that was saying it was updating file x of 25x files and counted till the last update file, and rebooted to a screen asking me to choose which launcher to use.

I chose what I was then using, and all the stuff came up, and the NEW rom was running! T999UVDLJA

Build # JRO03L.T999UVDLJA

I began having weird issues, and it was recommended I clean the Dalvic Cache.

Well, I cleared the cache with CWM and the darn thing started counting, and upgrading all over again! WTF?

I don't know what/why it did, but it rebooted and all was like before the cleaning. I have a few more stuff that just do not seem right, but I am afraid to "monkey around" with anything till someone can tell me what was happening (re flashing the rom by itself?) and what I should do to stop this behavior, or if that is a normal thing. I once cleared the cache, on another android HTC, and it just cleared the cache and rebooted.

Maybe some of our "Gurus" can tell me what I should do, if anything.

Thanks to all for any advice that might be forthcoming!

Aloha!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
So, you did the jellybean update without the stock recovery, yes? That's the trouble.

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

I'd flash a rooted jellybean Rom; since you have clockwork.

But you could go back to stock and then update
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
?

I was on a stock rom, and folowed all the "updates" as was said that it was necessary for jelleybean...

Would you , per chance, have a link to a rooted JB Rom?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Spartan 363:
Here is the link to the stock JB rooted rom, it's also safe from triggering the counter if you are worried about that stuff.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771687

Just flash it from Odin and you will even keep all your apps and such too. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cobraboy85:
odin flash with the jelly bean .tar image, bone stock.

then root with chains cf auto root (OG dev section)

then download the new clockwork mod touch 6.0.1.2 ..... put it on the root (meaning in no sub-directory, or in no other folders) of your internal sd card, and rename it to cwm6....

download an app called terminal emulator, open it, type "su" without quotes, then grant the app root access, then run these commands, hitting enter after each one:

dd if=/sdcard/cwm6.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery (hit enter...and you will see an output, xxx data transferred in xxx seconds blah blah)

reboot recovery (hit enter again. oops. phone rebooted....... into your new recovery)

good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chikin:
wait, isn't it normal for the "android is upgrading/optimizing x of y apps" to appear after clearing cache? That usually happens when I clean my cache.

As for the other problems with this rom, i guess you should Odin using the method that doesn't trip your flash counter, as stated above
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
That's normal. It will happen every time it has to rebuild dalvik cache.

Sounds to me like you need to backup, wipe data and start fresh and clean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
I have the same thing happening to me each time I clear cache (optimizing x apps of y), that's completely normal. As to other problems that you said are happening just flash root66, rooted stock 4.1.1 rom, using odin and everything should be good.

Good luck

After flashing miui? You mean you had root access on your previous ROM.

Then maybe it's the ROM's fault?

I have seen a similar issue, caused by a low system space. Try to enlarge your system partition/cache and flash it again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jman2020:
I have a tf101 and recently flashed CWM 6.0.1.3. I went to flash a new ROM but it says "E:Can't mount /sdcard" I have already format the partitions so I have no ROM installed and when I try to recover my backup I get the same error. I have ADB access and was able to (as far as I can tell) push a stock ROM to the sdcard but when I try to apply update.zip it still says it can't mount the sdcard. I have tried Easy Flasher, NVflash, and One Click Recovery to no avail. All of these options act as if they are working but the tab isn't taking the new information. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

Me to, and easey flasher didn't helped for me. Any ideas ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jman2020:
Easy Flasher finally did the trick for me. I apparently had two bad SD cards or something. I finally found one that worked so that I could use Easy Flasher to load Stock ASUS ICS. The funny thing is that the two SD cards that wouldn't work worked just fine before and seem to work just fine now. I don't know what happened but swapping SD cards eventually did the trick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DessertFox:
I did it but nothing happened. Please write me what did you doing step by step. THX
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jman2020:
1: Get a working SD card.

2: Hook your Transformer up to a windows PC.

3: Boot your tablet into APX mode

4: Install APX drivers. (can be found here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688012)

5: Download ASUS stock ICS ROM. (also found here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688012)

6: Put the ROM zip inside the asusupdate folder.

7: Launch Easy Flasher and select Flash ASUS stock zip.

8: The app should now open a DOS window and run a script... something like extracting blob and then a bunch of other stuff.

9: Once it runs its course your tablet should say *installation success!* or something to that effect.

10: Reboot.

Now I had to do this like 3 times before it worked and it turned out to be my SD card wasn't working even though it worked prior too and still works after this debacle. So if when you run Easy Flasher and the DOS window just blinks on and closes then try a different SD card.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DessertFox:

The Verizon Note 2

does not

come with a physical manual. It has the following physical documents:

- Star Here (and Comienza Aqui, the Start Here guide in Spanish)

- Product Safety & Warranty Information

- Global Support Calling Card

- Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions & Responsible Driving

- Important Consumer Information

I have a feeling that people who are saying they received a manual are referring to one (or all) of those, but none of those are actual device user manuals though (at least in the sense that the OP is referring to). The actual user manual is 216 pages long. Verizon (and other carriers) have been cutting back on the included documentation with devices for a little while now.

If you want the actual user manual, you have to download it. It can be found on Samsung's support website for the Verizon Note 2.

I'm guessing that the reason no headphones are included is because of the cost of the Spen.
