THanks again..

the phone is not permanently locked for sure since i never entered any code.. never ever got option to entr code..

i did find the build.prop file and was quite impressed witht he number of settings in there i even changed a few to see if it wll help me with my issue.. but it did not.. :(

you are right.. the nandroid backup i took did have recovery.img in it as you mentioned.. but when i go to the power+vol down mode and flash it from there it fails to flash saying

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4096 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.384s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: image is not a boot image)

finished. total time: 0.396s

i think i need CWM to flash this image (just guessing)

Also, i found something new.. if you need to confirm that bootloader is unlocked, you can do it using the following fastboot command:

>fastboot oem get-bootinfo

...

(bootloader)

*******************************************

(bootloader) Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED

How did you made the backup?

Using adb, app or?

Funny, that fastboot code in my y201pro doesnt return anything, just keeps waiting for device, but works on the others

I'm looking for advice on purchasing a new tablet for an after Xmas present. :)

I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Google Nexus 10 or the Asus TF700T-C1-CG with WiFi 10.1.

The reason I chose the Asus is that I like the ability to dock it to a keyboard then my laptop is out the door! That said, if I do want to go that route I just read where Lenovo is launching a new tablet combo next January that is incredible.

I would really appreciate user's thoughts!

Happy Holidays!
[General Topics] Eternalty:
If u plan on rooting and flashing ROMs, get the Asus since it will have the keyboard. If u keeping stock, get the nexus for fast updates
[General Topics] Pennycake:
^ Agree.

Also, when it comes to being a laptop replacement, just be aware of the limitations.

I can still use Flash on Jelly Bean, but it might not stay that way forever - well, almost certainly won't. And it's almost certainly going to take web developers longer than that to ditch it for compatibility's sake.

I'm going to be giving some of the Office software a shot, but for some people MSOffice is the only thing that will work for their jobs, or they need something very specific. This also goes for other programs that might not have direct, or good, translations to Android.

I find that I can use my TF101 basically any time I'd be using my laptop - although this is only because I built a desktop that I use for my heavier computing needs.
[General Topics] randun:
Thanks 'Brandonarev' & 'Pennycake' for the info.

I have a Sony All-in-one Touchscreen that I use as my 'workhorse'.

The laptop is networked for use in my bedroom at night or when traveling. Wish the Nexus had a keyword then I'd buy that in a NY second!

[General Topics] randun:
Now that you mention it I seem to remember seeing something about the Nexus 10 having keyboard capability. Where did you find this info out? Tx
[General Topics] randun:
I actually Googled accessories for the Nexus 10 & found keyboards, etc. so it looks like I'll be heading in that direction.
[General Topics] lokenok:
^ good cause nexus 10 is beast even thou i dont have it :l
[General Topics] Pennycake:
You can get a bluetooth keyboard for pretty much any tablet or even phone.

The TF keyboard dock isn't just a bluetooth keyboard, though. It's an effective counter-balance what with the large battery in it - a battery that charges the tablet and effectively doubles battery life. In a bluetooth keyboard, you'd either have to have dead weight in the case or a kick-stand, and you'd be charging it / replacing batteries separately - a nice feature of the connected dock is that you'll know the battery level so it won't be a surprise to have it suddenly die (and it will still work as long as the tablet has power). The keyboard dock also benefits from having a hardware connection over bluetooth - and it has two stabiliser connections that don't send data, so that it can't wiggle around, as well as being held against the front and back by the part that serves as the immediate dock. It's very stable, just like a laptop or netbook.

The keyboard dock also has two full-size USB ports and a full-size SD Card slot and a track-pad.

Not trying to be a salesman, just point out the differences between what you get with a bluetooth keyboard versus the TF keyboard dock.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with for the Nexus 10, but it will certainly be more like the Surface than the TF series. The TF series is good for people who want something that can function as both a netbook and a tablet. The Surface is a step above regular bluetooth keyboards, but still isn't the same level of purpose and functionality as the TF dock - but it really depends on what you want.
[General Topics] randun:
Thanks much for this great info! One KB that I'm looking at for the Nexus 10 is a Motorola with kickstand, built-in battery, & protective case. Probably not as many bells & whistles as the one for the TF but close.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all of the advice. Unfortunately I missed a few updates from the thread as I've already purchased a Nexus 10. It arrives today.

For those who recommended the Surface, while it's a nice 'hybrid', the price is not justified IMO. I'll see what happens with the Nexus.

I picked up the following from a user on the Nexus 7/10 forum. Just what I needed to know.

" I am a professional software developer and for sure a tablet currently is not a full substitude at the office.

But at home it is. What do I need to do at home?

Writing letters, printing, scanning, image adjusting, websurfing, mailing, banking, playing.

Is it really paintshop you need? Ther are great apps available in the market to do everything with images.

Even though burning cd and dvd is possible. search for samsung se-208bw at amazon and you will

find an extrnal wifi enabled device to read and write cd and dvd.

For printing and scanning I use a Epson wifi printer. I love it.

Samsung and Epson are offering Android apps to use their devices in a real perfect way.

I am not switching on my laptop at all any more when I am at home.

Cheers Daniel."

I notice that lately I can't install some apps...AT ALL.

I can copy them to the sysem/apps folder. It's strange that Rom Toolkit can't restore them, but even redownloading them gives an error. I've had this with a few ROMs, including Stock 4.1.1, the multiwindow release.

[Nexus 10 General] moonytoonyking:
So had my nexus 10 for a few days now and im confused about the general stuttery performance issues. my galaxy s3 running cm10 runs android rather buttery and smooth. the nexus 10 seems to be lacking butter. ive tried the nexus 4 and it's a great buttery performance but the 10 lags and stutters alot, is this just because of the screen resolution or is a fault of android? ive tried cm10 and others nexus 10 roms but still seems kinda stuttery. is over clocking the answer? it's only really 2d performance where the 10 seems to be lacking and i expected more from a 1.7 dual core proc.

something i have noticed is that as long as i keep my finger on the screen, it does not lag, however if i fling and then remove my figure it lags and stutters.

i want to hear other peoples opinions on nexus 10 performance because so far, i fail to see the butter.
[Nexus 10 General] ZanshinG1:
If there are performance problems, the reason they never get fixed is that people insist on posting subjective experience with "lag" on xda instead of objective, useful bug reports on the AOSP bug tracker..

In my experience, though, it's always a ****ty app hogging the UI thread in a service or some other noob developer move causing lag.

My N10 is smooth and stock.
[Nexus 10 General] bamboosensei:
The idea behind Project Butter, I believe, is that when you have your finger on the screen, then the governor automatically ramps up the speed to whatever the max has been set to. This is the reason why interactive is now the most common governor of choice for AOSP. I suppose you could root and flash a different kernel with other specialised governors like KToonses, which comes with PegasusQ, KToonsertive and others. Or even on stock you could change to other kernels and see if that helps out. I haven't really been noticing much problem with the stutter even on interactive tbh. Animations are fine, so could be that you do have some cpu intensive app causing the lag.
[Nexus 10 General] NeoMagus:
I use both daily, cm 10.1 on my d2vzw and can tell you my N10 doesn't lag/stutter, both are comparable speed wise in daily use here. As others have suggested I would check your installed apps for irregular behavior
[Nexus 10 General] stiggy2012:
I have a nexus 10 and a 9300i too, and my nexus 10 is much much faster!

Actually thinking about it 1 app runs better on my S3, google chrome. I use the AOSP browser instead on my N10, for this as well as flash support.
[Nexus 10 General] moonytoonyking:
Think i found the problem

it would appear that having google currents syncing in the background causes lag. tablet is super fast after disabling.
[Nexus 10 General] cowabunga:
No lag here whatsoever. Running cm10.1 nightlies.
[Nexus 10 General] digitalrelic:
I haven't had a single hint of lag since day one. Seriously, literally as smooth as smooth can be as far as 2D desktop experience goes. If you're suffering noticeable lag I'd honestly think you have a faulty tablet. This thing is BUTTER.
[Nexus 10 General] TheAltruistic:
I believe the thread you're referring to is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012756
[Nexus 10 General] blackhand1001:
The other aspects of project butter such as the vsync made a much bigger difference than the ramping up CPU. Prior to jellybean if a toast notification came up all the animations would become really choppy. Even with the CPU at low speeds the animations stay smooth as they are rendered by the GPU.
[Nexus 10 General] bamboosensei:
I agree but the TC stated that it didn't lag when he kept his finger on the screen so I assumed it was due to that particular part of Project Butter that made a difference.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliber177:
I charge my phone overnight, from around 10PM to 8AM, then I leave my phone charging in its dock from about 9AM to 5PM during the work day...

any harm in doing this? I'd like my phone to last quite a while, as we are currently in a serious relationship, and I don't plan on letting her go.... :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roflwat:
What hurts your phone battery is not charging it but keeping it on high temperatures for a long time. And guess what keeps it on high temperatures: yep, you guessed it, charging for a long time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
While it always depends on the charging circuit, keeping your battery topped up by constant charging (even trickle maintenance) will reduce the voltage level that it can be charged to. This will take quite some time to notice, and several deeper charging cycles will "repair" this to a certain extent. But with any battery, keeping it any constant level will reduce its charging capacity, and continual charging (trickle or otherwise) will "cook" the batteries chemical make up sooner.

To do what you're doing everyday will absolutely have an impact on your battery's health over the long term. But to exactly what extent is based on several factors I don't have specific data on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
Absolutely, our phone battery is designed for mobile usage, not to be tethered to a charger constantly. Constant charging is unnecessary, wasteful and leads to early battery demise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliber177:
And aren't our high end modern phones also designed to trickle charge when it gets to %100, so no harm can come to it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
I suppose it depends on how you define "harm". Read my post above again. Any level of current that is continually supplied to a charged battery will accelerate the aging of it.

Even if the charger were to shut off completely, and then resume charging at a certain level (which I believe is the behavior of the LG wireless charger at 95%), continually discharging and recharging from 95% to 100% is probably not ideal.

But all of this is probably not all that great of an affect in the grand scheme of things. You're not gonna kill your battery in a matter of months by leaving on the charger all of the time. Yes you will accelerate the degradation of the battery's health over time, but if your phone is in use enough so the battery is being discharged regularly between charges, I doubt that you will notice it for a long time, if at all.

I can say that if you simply leave it charging 24/7 without any other kind of use you will be able to measure degradation surprisingly soon. As to how noticeable it will be is very hard to say.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desynch-:
I use and suggest Battery Monitor Widget from 3c. It takes the guess work out of what you see when you're charging and what happens to the phone when it reaches 100%.

As the phone gradually reaches 90%, charging is noticeably slowed. From about 92-100% it trickle charges from around 300 to 200 to 100mA until it reaches 100%. Charger stops charging when full and lets the battery level drop slightly before charging it back to 100%. You're constantly topping it off at full and batteries of this chemistry don't like that.

As far as I can recall, these types of batteries actually thrive on being run down and cycled back up. The only catch is, don't run them down until it's completely dead. You've significantly cut the life of your battery if you do it quite often.

To answer your question, it probably doesn't hurt that much. If you do it for months, maybe years. Yeah, you'll see some degradation.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
I would correct this and say the battery loves being near the median. Store at 40% battery! 100%-0% is bad... 100%-10% is better, 90/10 is better etc...

80/40 is really good for preserving charge cycles. Basically, charging at 30% back up to 70% is better than letting it go down to 0%

Note: this is a REALLY good battery in this phone. Just USE it until you feel it's dying too soon and buy a new one. Batteries are cheap and will be cheaper in 2-3 years.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles2224:
But we can't buy battery for this phone.. I always let it run down to 14% that's when the warning message pops up.. Then back up, charges in 2 1/2 hrs then I leave it on an hour more until I leave from work so I could have a full phone.. Note, I work over nights, so its dead at around 2 or 3 am sometimes, then I leave at 6 am..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Most of us in here don't keep our phones long enough to notice any battery degradation..

Just charge it as often as you can but unplug it when it's full.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dralways:
To be safe I would let the phone idle off of the work charger and only plug in at home.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
Agreed, I only charge once a day and it's usually sufficient, if your a heavy user and are concerned about the phone dying at night, let the phone decharge normally throughout the day and plug it in an hour or an hour and a half before you leave, however long it takes to charge the device after a workday's worth of usage (Whatever that is for you)

I do this myself if I'm using my phone heavily during the day and know I'll be out all night. Like some said you'll probably never even notice the degradation, but when you know it's not good for the battery in the strictest sense why risk it, the phones aren't designed to be charging 2/3rd of the time, they are designed to be charged and then taken off the charger and used.

Just had a Nexus 10, but one thing I really do not like at all, coming from a Galaxy S2 and Note, is the 4.2.1 camera app. I think the Samsung camera app is so much better.

If so, does anyone have a download link?
