[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schrochem:
I just got the 7.7 about 10 days ago and can't be more pleased with it.

I did get the i815 variant but will probably just use wifi.

I can hotspot through my phone if need be....

I decided on the 7.7 because of it's size and specifically its size in portrait mode.

I like browsing in portrait and I can easily type with thumbs with this tab. I did hold a nexus 7 and found it the perfect size for my hands to thumb type. However, this isn't too bad and I can hum right along and let swiftkey fix any errors....

I really don't like landscape when it's the 16:10 or 16:9 ratios.

For my phone, I have the galaxy note and never use it in landscape so I knew the same would happen with a tablet (my first one btw).

The only time I do use it is for video which for me isn't that often.

I don't mind the touchwiz so much when I use nova launcher.

However, I just loaded the CM 10.1 rom and have been please with it so far.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
If the 7.7 had come out at the same as the Nexus 7 or vice versa I would still end up getting the 7.7 purely on specs alone, plus the phone option :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerverg:
We had the same problem. I, on the other hand had the iPad3 before i bought this tab 7.7. Was torn between this tab, the note 2 and Nexus 7. My friend has a Nexus 7, and I can't help but tell him it looked so cheap beside the tab 7.7, he couldn't agree more. lol. He is now planning on selling it. I do agree that Nexus 7 seems a little bit faster most of the time, on the homescreen scrolling and the app drawer. But you know what I did? Dumped TouchWiz in favor of Apex Launcher. Everything went as smooth as JB, and the great thing is that it has Tablet Mode too. I tried flashing custom ROMs but I just cant live with the 'phablet' mode of stock JB Android. The nav buttons are too big for my taste and waste of screen estate. Tried PA but was too tedious, buggy and full of reboots. I can just flash the JB Apps anyways.

Galaxy Tab 7.7 pros:

SD Card

Better Display

can call/text

premium build

thinner and lighter

has back camera for quick sharing and Skype (to show the environment, etc.

better front camera

better battery life (with cellular on, my friend's Nex7 has no 3G, I'd expect the 3G version to have even shorter battery life)

software is Tablet mode, not phablet

thinner bezels

better speakers

Nexus 7 pros:

cheaper

a little bit smoother on some tasks

better support from Google and the devs

a little bit narrower

better benchmarks for bragging

Try GO Launcher HD Tablet, at last a proper launcher for tablet :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
+1 for the above posts.

I have both devices. The 7.7 is my "Go To" device for anything media (movies, Netflix, Hulu+, etc). JB would be nice but ICS perfoms well also.

The N7 is enjoyable as a test bed for trying out ROMs and whatnot.

If the 7.7 weren't afflicted with the Superbrick Bug it would be, hands down, the best tab to be had. Better than anything Apple (or anyone else for that matter) has offered.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
What is that bug :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
A very serious known issue with the emmc in selected Samsung devices. Search forums and it'll scare the pants off you. Start here.

Just be careful and you "should" be OK.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
I have flashed every thing available, no problem, not even wifi problem, maybe I am lucky :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Glad to hear that! I flashed ICS (Austria) months ago leaving stock TW and TWRP. Works fine for me so plan on leaving it there unless either an official Samsung fix is released (doubtful) or another device replicates the 7.7 (again, doubtful).

In the meantime, I have a great tab I enjoy! I'll flash the beejesus out of other devices. lol

I will choose P6800.

I will choose P6800. I already have P6800 ^^;

I use it for ebook, show movie and phone. So external SD, good screen and battery life are important points for me.

Nexus 7 is on good price and it has good OS although I will choose P6800. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polonium101:
Because of some problems after I "manually" updated to ICS (web browsing issues with javascript turned on, see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1958474), I bought a Nexus 7. Had it for less than 24 hours. You just cannot compare the Nexus screen to the 7.7. The Nexus screen looked so small and washed-out compared to the Galaxy. I guess the importance of that depends of what you are doing.

I also failed to see what was so great about the "pure Google" experience on the Nexus tab (I have a Galaxy Nexus phone with JB, so I pretty much knew what that was like anyway). The only thing that was better - to me - about the Nexus tab was the way the e-mail client works with Windows Live / Hotmail. On the Galaxy 7.7 you have to scroll to the bottom and click "load more details" to get a non-text version no matter what settings you use, while the Nexus loaded the full HTML version without that annoying step. Well, also the Nexus probably ran a little snappier, but not so much that using it was a meaningfully better experience.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kralik:
I had a Nexus 7 and switched to a Galaxy Tab 7.7 mainly for the screen, but I also wanted a back camera. More battery life is a plus. The stock i815 ROM (LP10, but not LP11) isn't all that bad. Tried CM 10.1 but I didn't like the split bars, so my ideal OS would probably be 4.1.2.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Meninw:
Hey everyone. I'm an Optimus Black owner and I want to exchange it for an O4X. Can anyone give some pros & cons about this device? And I have to say it, please put the "passion" aside and give some cold review.

Thanx in advance!;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] matatouille96:
Well i havent had much experience with it yet, but i can tell you the screen is awesome, the build quality is almost perfect, the sound quality on headphones is good..loudspeaker is bad but unless you re an annoying 14 year old, you wouldnt listen to music on loudspeaker...you might have a little bit of an issue with the locked bootloader but a mod is already working on it and it is expected to be unlocked by late 2012/early 2013..so i read, and lg once replied to a customer (dutch) and said the 4.1 JB was due to be released in january 2013..but i think that was before the release of the optimus G o_o

I think that if you for some reason cant get your hands on a nexus 4 or a galaxy s3, you should go for the 4x :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Meninw:
About the display...I love the Optimus Black IPS display. You can use under the sunlight with no visual problems, that's one of the reason to stay with LG's phones. Unfortunately the N4 is not available in Brazil yet...so I can't have it. But it doesn't have SD expansion so it's not my first option. And yes, I have the O4X as option 'cause of the price. It's cheaper than S3 and GORGEOUS.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice.candi:
Ok, first of I was wondering what odin and the jb bootloaders do?

Im running baked blackbean 6 jb4.12 with the new devil kernel...followed instructions to a t, odined to stock eho3 pit, gb bootloaders, worked for a bit perfectly n got stuck in a bootloop from hell, although I think my bit animation may have caused it. So back to Odin, stock, ect, but didn't do the gb bootloaders, n all works fine, seems a bit slower and the splash screen from the kernel no longer shows up, and room control will no longer boot into recovery

Can I odin the bootloaders after the rom is already installed or do I need to start from scratch? If I do start from scratch will a nandroid still work with the new bootloaders installed?

Onto titanium backup, I have all user only apps backed up and created an update.zip file with them..No system data at all...if I have the update zip can I delete all the backups n just use that? Save memory on the sd I'm assuming you just flash it as an update in recovery as opposed to a reg zip? Then all my apps should be back?...

I'm really out of date with the fassy last thing I had was skunkworks aokp m6...and I never flashed any bootloaders, just started from stock, and this update zip thing is new to me...just trying to get it all stable for my son...I've also noticed when I go to the homescreen it takes a while to show anything n I have it kept in memory, don't think bootloaders would affect that though correct?

One last thing...if I keep the stock kernel I get an md5 error when I try to do a backup...but once I switch it to devil it's fine...anyone else have this? That was with and without bootloaders...but all in all the gb bootloaders are the main thing I want to find out about being I've never used them before....

Thanks!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
I've actually always flashed the GB bootloaders separately with Odin after the ROM/Kernel was installed (twice in total) and never had a problem.

I tried the update.zip with TiBu once and it didn't work... never tried it again. I'm just sticking to the regular method.

Bootloaders have no effect after you boot so no, that wouldn't cause your home screen issue.

Not sure about the md5 thing as I don't do nandroids.

Hope this helped
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvorhardin80:
The update.zip that you create is just titanium backup, not your apps. When you flash it, it allows you to run tibu and install your apps without signing into google. You'll still need the folder with all your app backups.
[Nexus 10 General] b4silver:
So this just happened to my nexus 10.

I have no idea what it is. And it isn't going away. It says to not turn it off or else I would've already tried to reboot. Help please! Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 10 General] NeoMagus:
It looks like the bootloader, which is accessed by holding the volume buttons and power on boot. See the arrow that says Start pointing to the power button...you press it and it boots. It should not have bricked just by exiting it should reboot.
[Nexus 10 General] b4silver:
Idk what's up with mine then... It's won't boot. Put on the charger for a bit and still nothing.

Edit: I just held down volume and power for about 15 sec and it vibrated and rebooted! Problem solved although I wish I knew what the problem was.

My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
[Nexus 10 General] fbrozovic:
There was no "real" problem, you somehow just managed to enter download mode by (accidentally?) pressing the power and volume down buttons at the same time while the device was powered off. If it happens again, don't panic, just press and hold the power button until you see the Google logo.

[Motorola Photon 4G] cdawg4501:
Bought my dad a replacement Photon 4G off of Amazon. Tried to do a ESN swap online and was instructed to call Sprint. They're saying that the ESN on the phone is not showing up in their system. Now I'm no newbie when it comes to phones. I've sold almost every carrier there is and I've been rooting,flashing, unlocking and jailbreaking device for a couple of years now. But I'm looking at a almost brand-new looking, Sprint branded, Sprint bloatware loaded Motorola Photon 4G. I've searched high and low on here (XDA) and everywhere else online to no avail. Any ideas? By the way I did contact the seller and the phone was a warranty replacement and emailed me a copy of he paperwork from Motorola
[Motorola Photon 4G] matt51:
I'd take it in to a Sprint store and have them give it a shot. Unless the ESN is bad (doesn't sound likely), it should work fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Try Ting.com see if it there's.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdawg4501:
Response

Tried that. Not in their system either.. A Mobile IP unknown warning keeps popping up to...:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] JohnH4:
My phone was the same way. Neither recognized by Sprint or Motorola. Turned out that my phone was likely a development phone for testing gsm and had a unique radio. You might have to use yours on a gsm carrier whether or not the baseband you have is unique. Just out of curiosity, what is your phone's baseband?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdawg4501:
Baseband version N_01.29.10R
[Motorola Photon 4G] JohnH4:
That is different from mine. If you can use a gsm carrier for this phone, you could flash the kidi radio and use any gsm carrier you like.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdawg4501:
Wouldn't work because my dad has Sprint. Anyhoo the seller sent me another Photon and allowed me to keep the first one. Now my dad is up and running. I'll take your advice and flash the kidi radio for it but I'd still like to know what's up with the original phone.. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] GrimReaper24:
Kinda sounds like someone mighta swapped the wrong sticker for the ESN .. If it doesn't show up in the system. Glad you got another one.

Widget Scanner

​

What it is?

Most of you have heard about ROM Cleaner, it's been released for 10 different devices most of them are HTC devices.

The biggest problem we have been facing with HTC devices is when we remove system apps from the device it will in most cases result in a incomplete widget list and the only way to bring them back is to clear HTC Sense data.

By doing so we are forcing HTC Sense to reload our widgets.

Of course this method works perfectly but since your home screen will be restored to default it's a real pain to recreate all your shortcuts and widgets on the home screen.

With "Widget Scanner" we are now able to force HTC Sense to reload the widgets without clearing anything at all!​

When to use it?

If you are missing widgets, even if you didn't remove them.

If you have been flashing a mod that resulted in missing widgets.

If you have been removing HTC Sense apps after the initial boot process.

If your widgets for a "unknown" reason just disappeared.

If you have been restoring/installing HTC widgets.

How to use it?

Download "Widget Scanner" and copy the zip to your sdcard.

Reboot into recovery and flash it just like a ROM.

Follow the instructions in the AROMA Installer.

When done, Reboot.

Graphical Step by Step:

Just some minor changes to make debugging easier (if needed that is :p)

After you have used widget scanner successfully, the power menu will load right away.

Enjoy! :D

I Must say, this would of been useful for me back when I had my samsung captivate and was always looking for a new Rom weekly, Now that I have my GNote..well I stick with Panaroid Android Rom..although we still have some bugs I rarely flash another Rom. Still, THANK YOUUUU a million times for this. Im sure someone will find it helpful in their journey to flashing zips.
[Android Software Development] MarckX:
You're welcome :D

But, it can be useful as well when you only use one Rom that has (many) updates, so you can "dirty" flash without having to setup your homescreen.

Besides that, widgetscanner can easily be used by ROMdevs to integrate it in their rom(s). Some of them have gotten Patrics83's permission and they're actually started using it already :cool:

Cool :)

Just make sure you know when to use it ;)

So if you wanna see if it works, you can simply remove a HTC widget, reboot and check if it's gone. Then restore the widget again, set permissions and reboot.

The widget will not show up in the widget list, but after widget scanner it will ;)

[Android Software Development] luke2025:
interesting tool, a must have for us sense users =D

the answer to my question is most likely 'no', but i want to make sure:

if i record or backup these widgets on my sense rom, then move to a aosp, will the restore feature install the widgets on the rom? or does it merely backup the data of the widgets?
[Android Software Development] Patrics83:
Well the answer is 'no' :D

Sorry mate, Widget Scanner will trigger a re-scan of htc widgets that's all.

With trigger a re-scan I mean, it will change a value in a file and when your reboot your phone after applying the zip HTC launcher will search for HTC Widgets again.

Normally this is done only once and that's after a fresh install of a Sense ROM.

Before we had Widget Scanner then only way to re-scan the wdigets was to clear HTC Sense data, which also will restore the home screen to default and you will have to set it up all over again.

Regarding backup of home screen you will not be able to restore Sense launcher home screen settings on lets say Nova launcher etc.

It's like to restore wordfude settings to XDA app or something.

I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM problem since I've switched 3 by now and it's pretty consistent
