[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hanexs:
Agreed, if you could customize the ipad a bit it would be unbeatable. But no wacom pen, no microsdcard (which is embarrassing really), and just the hunk-a-junk file system and primitive ways of putting files on the thing annoy me to no end. Even jailbroken, I put a couple seasons of big bang theory on there, had to get vlc player from cydia (not in the app store). And had to install them through vlc so they weren't accessible to other programs. Little things just frustrate me about the device, and I dont get that in note 10.1. The multi window thing is pretty cool too. Not to mention philosophically I believe in Gnu/Open source, and while google isn't a saint there, they are much better then apple. I love my sleek lil note :)

Edit - one thing that annoys me in general about android is the file system as well. Why am I putting everything in /mnt/sdcard? And I know of no way to organize this thing. I tried making /mnt/sdcard/home and have all my personal files/directories in there, but some programs wont configure where they save so you inevitably had to go into that mess of /mnt/sdcard. Not to mention you can't keep that directory clean cause every app wants to put a directory there. I guess I just have to use the "favorites" tool in astro and just mark directories I like as favorites.

As for techies and ipads.... maybe its an age thing? Im 35 maybe that is a factor? I'm not really sure... but to give you some background I have a masters in comp sci, I work with tech, I know a lot of techies and not one has an ipad they would publicly admit too. Only people I know who have ipads are people who never really had computers or didnt know they could do cool stuff like "teleconference" or "photoshop" or "take pictures and share them" or "edit videos in premiere" or "play online games" and now that apple made this stuff popular with products like "facetime" and the "instagram app" and "draw something" they are obsessed with running around telling people like me (who don't find it all that impressive) and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I just had a conversation with someone today about how cool her iphone was cause it could send voice messages with the app called voxie! I found it hilarious that she was unable to easily send sms voice messages on her phone and needed an app for it to make it useable. Oh well, I just think their way of popularizing and "owning/stealing" things "techies" like me have been doing for a long time leaves a bad taste in some of our mouths. Might be different with different groups tho.

Don't get me wrong, they occasionally make great products, the Ipod was a work of art, and compared to the other mp3 players I had at the time it was light years ahead. The first ipod belongs in a museum, and my creative jukebox deserves to be run over by my car, if I can find it lol. It's just I don't really respect the brand, it makes me think "locked down", "over priced" and "less functional" so I will avoid it if possible :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hanexs:
I spent two weeks with a canadian ativ, and another two weeks with an american ativ. I can say that lil atom is much faster then you might think. And the OS is a dream on tablets once you get used to it. Still... its a new-ish OS, and its got kinks. In a year or two, I think windows 8 tablets will be awesome, right now Android has so much available and working out of the box. Not to mention size wise the ativ is more of a computer, forget bringing it to bed or bringing it to meetings while holding a coffee. Its just too big. I like reading pdfs in portrait, so I can see a whole page, the widescreen ativ is unusable in portrait.... unless all my pdfs go widescreen in the near future, that aspect ratio is done. Incidentally if you use apps like bing/news, the tiling layout is awesome cause it's formatted for that screen. Unfortunately my dungeon magazine is in portrait and its much more readable on the note 10.1

Sorry, but as a long-time techie, before there were laptops and pads, my statement and sentiment about the OP's post stands. As to the techies you know- there's no accounting for some people's taste. JMO

Don't trust the people who tell you that an adonit jot pro with a capacitive screen is anywhere near the wacom stylus on this.. I used the jot pro (meh, waste of money because of the issues regarding the conductivity between the ball and the plate) with the asus transformer. Even at its best, it cannot be compared to the Note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Kopi-O:
I agree with you absolutely. Coming from a Galaxy Tab 7.7 with a Jot Pro was an exercise of frustration. The Jot was over rated. For true note taking experience on tablet form factor, nothing beats the S-Pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] csmith75:
I have always owned an ipad since the first generation. They are excellent devices and I consider myself a "techie". I am never ashamed of carrying it or my Note 10.1 because my self-esteem has this weird quirk where I just dont give damn what other people think of me because I own it. I certainly wouldn't judge someone because they owned an apple product. The whole premise is ridiculous and immature.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jeggen:
I tried about every stylus available with my TF101 in just about every app available. Ended up using LiveScribe instead. Happy stopped using both when I got my Note 10.1, the S-Pen and lecture notes. It simply cannot be beat and after years of trying to be paperless for meetings I have finally done it with the Note. Oh, and I love using my AllShare cast dongle with presentations. I can look at my notes, display full presentation and do markups with my S-Pen. Pretty slick. I'm sure you can do that with iPad somehow but I wouldn't consider another tablet without a wacom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
Wow, I didn't think there was anyone as "crazy" as me lol. I actually do have OCD and it takes me forever to make a decision. I've also tried and returned many phones and tablets. More so for phones. I'm never satisfied with the one I have. I just got the Note 10.1 today tho and I'm loving it! Just put on JB.

I agree with the second poster also. It is hard to ignore the hype and praise for these different tablets. You never truly know which one is going to be the best until you've tried them out. It was between the Note 10.1 or the iPad 4. I've had iPads before but for some reason I thought this one would be different. I decided on the Note 10.1 and the whole time I was waiting for it to arrive I kept thinking that maybe I should have taken the iPad but now that I have the Note I have to say I'm glad I stuck with my decision.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fvig2001:
I'm still on part where I try the ativ before getting the 10.1, but I'm currently abroad until after christmas, so I can't try/buy yet since I haven't seen an ativ smart pc here. I've tried the note 10.1 and it feels a bit strange to me. The stylus and the screen don't have that feeling that I can draw on it like on my tablet pc. So I'll found out after christmas. I'm at a stage in my life where I don't know if I am going to replace my tablet pc with an ativ smart pc or replace my xperia play with a 3g 10.1. I may end up getting both though.

i so do search man befor post and i see that and try it but now there is update in the post you give it i try it and it resolve my problem and now i'm in cm10 thank very much man really thank you

that what was help me

Try this please:

Factory reset your phone

Flash stock firmware vía RSD Lite again

Turn off your phone

While pressing the X in the slider keyboard, power up the phone

You should get an android with a ! inside a triangle, press both volume side-buttons

Using the volume side-buttons go to wipe cache and press power button to select, confirm

Do the same for wipe data/factory reset

Turn on your phone normally

Enable usb debugging

Change usb mode to just charge

Erase all previous versions of this script from your pc

Download the latest version from this link: https://github.com/nicofff/preinstal...zipball/master

Extract it to your desktop

Plug in your phone

Run rootMM2.bat or rootMM2_en.bat both scripts are working, tested by me this morning

When the script pauses and tells you to flash the included fixed.sbf file, unplug your phone from the usb, turn it off and then press the power button while holding the up arrow key on the slider keyboard, you should be in bootloader mode, plug your phone again and open RSD Lite, it should detect your phone in the first row, flash the fixed.sbf included from the .zip downloaded *DO NOT CLOSE THE SCRIPT WINDOW*

Wait for the flash to finish completely, your phone should have rebooted and be on the home screen again, if motorola portal is activated by itself, then the RSD would say "PASS" and you can close it, if the moto portal is not activated and usb mode is still in "just charge" mode, then wait until RSD says "Please manually power up the phone" and CLOSE RSD

Check on your phone that usb mode is in "just charge" and usb debugging is enabled

Go back to the script window and press any key

Wait for script to finish

If you get any errors please paste the whole output here again, alternatively, try all the above steps again but with another stock firmware, such as Latam Retail, or Personal

I hope this time you can root!

I've done it several times with the original spanish script, and I flashed the stock firmware this morning just to test the translated one and it's working 100%

I won my note 2 AT&T version from a Samsung Giveaway. I'm coming from a Motorola Atrix 4g.

I had to root my atrix to install Amazon App store app and other APKs that I wanted to install.

I was very surprise that I was able to install the Amazon App store app and some APKs that I had without rooting my device, does that mean that I can flash any rom I want ?

Thanks in advance.

For want I remember on my Atrix when I rooted I had to select an option to install non market apps

You don't have to be rooted for that.

Just go to Options -> Security and choose Unknown sources (Allow installation of non-Market apps)

Hey guys,

Today I have updated my htc one x(international version) to android 4.1.1 and I was expecting that I get the stock jelly bean lock as well, but I was wrong as I can only have the sense look which I don't like anymore (looks old :p)

I am wondering if there is any way to root htc one x with official android 4.1.1 version and get a stock jelly bean on it with the possiblity to unroot it if I would ever want it (so it looks untouched again)

I have found some articles about rooting htc one x+, would it work with one x having official 4.1.1 android on it?

Just in case anyone else runs across this, the Uniden wireless charging base, UN904 looks promising, but I can attest to the fact that it does not work for us. Sucks too, because they were normally $30, on clearance for $15 at your local Walgreens. I picked one up and could get the charger to see the phone (LED turns from green to red) but the phone never went into charging mode. I even left if a while to see if it would kick in and it just slowly drained as usual. So I returned it. Just thought I'd share.

UN904 DOES work

I just received mine and it charges the LG Nexus 4 Just fine :D . You just have to have to face the USB port side of the phone towards the "Uniden" logo. Will post a YouTube video soon.

Looks like it does.

Notes on operation

Also, weirdly enough, it only seems to work when it is on a conductive surface: It worked fine on my work desk (it is laminated metal) but refused to power the kitchen table until I placed a metal lid under the charger (possible grounding issue???)

I have recorded both videos of the charger working and the grounding phenomenon, but cannot post direct links yet, I will PM the kind gentleman who offered to post them for me.

I will continue the experimentation and report back

Re: youtube

Thank you for posting the links

Sorry about the video quality: took the video with a cheap point and shoot during breaks at work.

Seemed to be charging OK at work. Just brought it home, set it on a metal plate (in the future, I might just glue tin foil to the base), and its working fine again. Does not seem to have any cycling so far. Will report in the morning on the charging status.

Overall - a good use of $10
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wtang:
I can't believe it! IT WORKS!

I picked up one of these Uniden UN904 chargers from Amazon because this post in another thread claimed it worked with the Nexus 4:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34630397&postcount=433

I thought, "what the heck, it's only $5, shipping included." The Amazon listing actually described the item as a Wireless Gear 5WC800, but when it arrived it was actually a Uniden UN904. From looking at the pictures I'm sure it's the exact same item, just rebranded for Uniden. The problem is, it didn't work at all. By playing around with how I placed the Nexus 4 on the charging pad I could trigger the charging light on the pad to turn red (charging indicator) but the phone would not charge and the charging indicator on the phone never came on.

I was about to give the charging pad to a friend that has an iPhone 4 when I read this thread tonight. Excited, I tried putting the Uniden charging pad on a steel cookie sheet before attempting to charge my phone. No go. I tried putting it on a stainless steel frying pan. No go. Then I tried putting it on an aluminum non-stick griddle pan. IT STARTED CHARGING! I think this charging pad needs a non-ferrous (not iron, not steel) metal underneath it in order to charge the Nexus 4. So tried putting it on the sheet of aluminum foil. IT STILL CHARGES! Then I cut a small rectangle of aluminum foil a little smaller than the back the of charging pad and scotch-taped it to the back of the pad. AND IT STILL CHARGES! I'm stoked for only $5.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
Thanks for your input. I am going to go to my local Walgreens which supposedly has it in stock and get one. If they work out great I will get 1 or 2 more lol. I'm out of thanks today so i'll hit you one tomorrow :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ssskom:
Great! :good: Bought one used (last one, sorry guys) on amazon for $15 - $4.50 (cc points) = $10.50 shipped!! :silly::silly::silly:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] twolfekc:
These still on sale right?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wtang:
I wonder if we can use this trick to make the Duracell Powermat work with the Nexus 4. If anyone has the Powermat they should try putting it on a sheet of aluminum to see if it will work.

Also, after a bit of experimenting, it seems the thickness of the aluminum seems to make a difference. My Nexus 4 seems to charge faster when sitting on my non-stick griddle versus a sheet of thin aluminum foil. Plus, the charging pad is less finicky when on the non-stick griddle. When on the griddle, it will charge my Nexus 4 in both orientations (USB port facing the Uniden logo and also facing the opposite direction). When on the aluminum foil, it seems to only charge when my Nexus 4's USB is facing the Uniden logo.

I need to do more testing, but I gotta get to sleep. Will try again tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jimmyz:
Same exact findings here. Was going to trash the charger until I put it down on an aluminum pot cover and it started working. Ironically I just bought the wcp-700 from Verizon today.

anyone have any idea why a wireless charger shouldnt be placed only on certain kinds of metals? (except of course shorting it...but why only Al & Cu?...electro-chemists out there?)

Is the UN904 Qi certified? Don't wanna charge a brand new phone on a product that might end up ruining it :/

Re: Metal Sheet

From playing around with the charger last night, here is what i found:

I set the charger on a metal plate (old license plate): the charger would work but would heat both itself and a phone. So, I put a sheet of plastic (about the thickness of a slim CD case) in between the metal and charging plate and shazaam! The charger works great and the phone does not become warm! The charger seems to turn itself off when the phone reaches 92% charge btw.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngryHog:
As the apparent idiot who tried the Uniden and posted this initial thread to warn everyone else, I have no problems updating the title of this thread...if someone can point me to where I can do that.

Guess I need to go out and buy another one again. I returned the original one.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngryHog:
This is weird. When I had mine, I could get the light to come on (go red) only when the phone was upside down like yours, but about 1-inch further down and 1-inch to the right (overhanging the charger). And that's with no case on mine. Hmm.

-AngryHog™
[Nexus 4 Accessories] -=BaDZeD=-:
Looks like the conductivity of the surface beneath the charger is key.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngryHog:
I know (now), but in the YouTube video, his charger is sitting on a wooden counter, just like mine was. That's what has me confused. Unless he has some metal underneath that I can't see.

RE: Desk

Actually, it is my work desk in the video, it is made from laminated metal. :) . When I tried to do the video on a better (white plastic) table, the charger refused to work.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Cyberdan3:
Mine needed to have tin foil underneath it to even recognize anything. Hopefully someone can chime in as to why we needed to have tin foil or other metals underneath in order to charge the phones. I'm sure we would all also like to know why specifically states not to put any metals underneath it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] slopokdave:
These are re-branded versions of some that were available on Amazon, made by "Wireless Gear". I bought 3 of them and they all are not worth it.

A) There is an on/off button, kind of defeats the purpose of just laying it down and going... you have to make sure its on, make sure you position it correctly. It was annoying.

B) It charged slower than the factory charger, or any other AC wall charger I tried

C) As someone else said, when it reaches a certain limit it will shut off. So overnight it drained a bit after it fully charged.

I've got 3 of them and will ship them for $10 shipped if anyone wants to give them a go. Just wasn't worth it to me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] twolfekc:
Just picked two of them up for only 7.50 each!!!! The thicker the piece of aluminum foil I put under it the better the range is. Awesome!! Oh and I don't have any troubles having to put it on a certain way. Just throw it on and your good!!
