Hey guys, I was wondering if there's an OCR app for Windows Phone 7.1? Or at least a library that could be used for its development. Thanks :o
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] danielk0302:
After searching around for the best deals online and in stores, i've been able to find the Note 10.1 16GB for £318 on amazon. I know this is a fairly good price compared to most other places, but has anyone for anywhere to get one cheaper, or had any success negotiating with staff to get freebies or money off? I was looking at Nexus 10 but i was put off because I think ill need an SD card for extra memory at some point soon, and the colours are meant to be less deep and less vibrant.

If anyone can offer some input on prices or any reason not to get the Note 10.1 then please help me out before i spend my xmas money.

English Pounds prices and possible links to websites if you great guys can ;D Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kamber:
Tesco are also selling them for £318 at the moment, you can walk in store and pick one up.

If you buy before newyear... £50 cashback makes it £268
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] danielk0302:
I think samsung are planning to release a new tablet, there seems to be alot of offers on the tab 2 10 inch and 7 inch and the Note 10.1 on the offical samsung website, like trade your old phone in and get moeny off. I could trade in my old Xperia X10 and get £100 off a Note 10.1 for it which is alot in relation the the device. I didnt know there was a £50 cash back offer on, im real tempted by that so thankyou. I have a big tescos in my town so i might go there to see if they have any but i doubt they will :S If they do I will buy one soon I think ;D

EDIT: If i bought one now, i would have to wait 15 days to claim and by that time the promotion would have run out :( I think at least
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dmarchant:
I have just done my claim. If you look carefully at the terms, you need to purchase by end of 31st Dec and you can claim up until Feb 2013.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] schnurrbidurr:
Go for it! I You can still buy until the end of the year to get cash back. I presume they have the 2 week waiting period in case you return your device to the rteiler. (yeah like that's gonna happen :) ) I have mine since Saturday and I love it.

You can also get 5% cash back if you buy through Topcashback. I saw that too late.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JJEgan:
The cash-back has been pulled by Samsung since two weeks ago .

jje
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dmarchant:
They accepted my submission this morning.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JJEgan:
Pulled as in stopped two weeks ago no point of sale material on display and no longer on the promotions page .

Pre purchases should be accepted so if you bought before it was stopped you qualify .

The doubt will be for anyone that purchased after the promotion was closed .

Will the cash back run for purchases after the promotion was closed is unknown .

Samsung may just have stopped advertising the fact and let the promotion continue until 31-12-12 or stopped it as per the terms and conditions .

I actually have a letter from Samsung handed to me by a Samsung rep when i queried last week .

Cashback promotion ceased . But he kept saying you should be ok with your claim ??

Multiple posts on the web the last two weeks regarding this .

Confusing to say the least and i would say anyone buying now may get cashback but may not .

jje
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] schnurrbidurr:
I tried to claim this morning (my 15 days aren't up yet, but I wanted to have a go anyway) and it just said I'm too early claim. Not that I'm not qualified. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dmarchant:
Amazon and the other online retailers no longer have any indication but as the invoice date needs to be before 31st Dec, it is likely they have stopped advertising as they would not be able to meet that any more.

On Samsung claim site, dates / times are still clearly stated and claim indicated to be valid if invoice date is 31st Dec or earlier. Things always seem to get muddy at the enpoint of one of these campaigns (I have done two successful cashbacks with HP and seen similar confusion).

My invoice date was 11th Dec and so couldn't claim before 26th anyway. I am hopeful, but I would be happy with my Note 10.1 regardless.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] schnurrbidurr:
Exactly. I bought the Note without realising there was cashback.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JJEgan:
I am in the same boat waiting for Jan 2 to claim .

Hopeful for all they have just stopped advertising the promotion due to the large volume of sales .

jje
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhd1802:
if you buy before midnight monday 31st.... and make your claim before the 28th of february. kerching £50 cashback.

i bought a second note 10.1 on the 5th december so i'm on day 23 of my 60 day window. but i'm going to wait until the new year before claiming.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] danielk0302:
Thanks everyone, im going for a short holiday so i might end up buying the Note 10.1 soon :) If not I'll get one after I'm back and miss out on the £50 I guess
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samwhiteUK:
Got mine from PC WorId who price-matched Tesco at £318
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] WillWord:
John Lewis have them now £318.00 with 2 year warranty, Just ordered it.

Regarding cash back offer, terms and conditions state

"Qualifying Tablet purchases must be made from 00.01 on the 24th October 2012 to 23.59 on the 31st of December 2012 (inclusive). The claim window will close at 23.59 on the 28th of February 2013, all claims received after this date will be marked invalid."

So no issues on claim back if you buy before 23.59 31st December.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mikemod:
The standard Samsung warranty is two years as well.

Adding this code, TD-PT4M, at checkout with Tesco gets you another 3000 points, equivalent to another £30 off.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] b4d5h0t:
I got mine for £270 on ebay it was a shop returned unit it had been opened and returned so basically brand new. The ebayer dealt in shop returns and had 4 for sale they had 1000s of feedback had fully bench tested the items and offered a full money back guarentee. Ive had it for a couple of weeks now and its perfect. Funny enough i bought a nexus 7 for my girlfriend brand new from the carphone warehouse and it had a duff speaker.

Be very careful shopping on ebay make sure the seller has lots of positive feedback and offers a refund and you cant really go wrong. Ebay customer support are also very good if any problems arise they have refunded me out of there own pocket in the past for items not being sent by the seller.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pwatkins:
So, from Tesco, until Monday, you can get a 16Mb WiFi Only Note 10.1 for £238 £318-£30-£50 (why buy on e-bay?)

Could anyone in the UK then explain to me why the cheapest that I can find a wiFi + 3g model is £467 (on Amazon) and Tesco list this for £498!!!!! More than twice the price of the WiFi only - effectively just for a SIM card slot! Would expect a differential of less than £50.

I live in South Africa but travel frequently to the UK where I buy most of my tech hardware - because it is cheaper. The WiFi only Note 10.1 is much more expensive here. However I was able to buy a WiFi plus 3g Note 10.1 here for just over £450 equivalent price. With two big differences :

1. It is a 32Gb model (can't even find them in the UK)

2. It came with 2Gb of data a month for 24months on one of the major 3G networks. No Contract just an up-front purchase.

To me the 3G is virtually esential. I can use it anywhere - in my car, out and about (I go to lots of places that are not coffee shops with WiFi!), I can use it to make and receive phone calls or as a live satnav when travelling. With Jellybean I have a three window setup for the car with Google Maps Navigation, handsfree Phone and my music player - all active and simultaneously visible on the big screen. Much better than three different devices.

So why is the best version of the Note 10.1 so expensive in the UK.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] b4d5h0t:
If youve got an android phone you can just set your phone up as a wifi hotspot and use the wifi only one connected to your phones internet and pocket all the extra wonga. As for tesco selling at £238 i obviously didnt know or i would have bought it there ...duh!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pwatkins:
Lots of ISPs don't allow tethering. None of the ones I use do - giffgaff in the UK, Tmobile in the USA and vodacom and MTN in South Africa. Then you also always need to carry and charge two devices.

Would never buy a tablet without 3G/4G. But it should cost less than £40/50 extra.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Current best 3g price anyone ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] danielk0302:
Prices have gone up alot now. Hopefully Samsung will release some new tablets to maybe choose from or knock the note price down :D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thenext1:
Hi all,

Please let me start off by telling you that I'm new to Sony devices

So this evening I received my new White Xperia T. I've been a bit frightened by all those posts on the back paint coming of on the black model, and to my surprise, the white model sports an hard plastic-matte finish, not as rough as the silver one, but quite similar to the Nokia Lumia 900's one. It wasn't mentioned in any review.

I'm happy with it: less parts, less chances for something to fall apart.

Anyway to the main question: on the box there's a relatively thick screen protector, of the electrostatic kind (impossible to put in place properly), and the screen already has a thinner one applied. What's it for? Why bundle 2 screen protectors?

Is it so delicate to require a factory applied screen protector?

Also I find the screen has a bit too much friction to my thumbs... does it go back to normal if I remove the screen protector?

thank you very much!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] .coomb.:
The factory applied screen protector is the shatterproof one. It does indeed have more friction, but I suggest leaving it on.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thenext1:
Hmmm, I don't know. I really hate the added friction it causes, and the fact that fingerprints really show on it...

Also how can a plastic screen protector render a glass shatterproof?

I keep my devices very well, I dropped my current device only 1 time in ten months, I wonder if this warrants for removing the "shatterproof" protector...

Waiting for more opinions

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] maxboy:
Just to let you know, the pre installed one its not scratch proof, so after a month of use, tons of scratch, so I removed it and put an after market one.

It took me about 20 mins to remove, yes, it is extremely difficult to remove, if you managed to pull it right off without holding the screen, you can pull the whole screen panel off, no kidding. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] hmr007:
Hi

How can i create Swap Partition for increase RAM on Galaxy tab plus?

I find guide for other device, can`t find for Gt 6200

Thanks for help...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DigitalMD:
you can;t and should never need to.

You have 1 GB of RAM more than enough for any application.

Swap has not been used since Froyo I think . Since OG phones with 300 mb RAM.

Not used not needed
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] hmr007:
Thanks for replay

but this 1GB (830 MB Actually) full after open 4-5 program or 2 game And Android close automatically other Application And last States!

I Want to save last States of other program Anyway until i Close program manually

For example Chrome close tabs after open 4-5 program and when i visit old tabs , it reloaded again!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Hi. Easiest way is to download Swapper2 from the PlayStore.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DigitalMD:
Only if you want to slow your tablet to a crawl.

Why would you want to swap very fast RAM with very slow SD memory? No need and a really bad idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
agree. but, it looks like he's more concerned with multitasking.

it always depends on the user. let him try it first and let him decide what's acceptable for him.

Besides, "slow your tablet to a crawl" is an exaggeration.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DigitalMD:
That won't help multitasking , Android already has an efficient memory management system. That OG swap app was for Froyo phones that only had about 300 mb to run the OS and apps. No longer applies. And since there are no true multi=tasking apps. IE you can;t run two foregrounds apps. ..... , you can never fill up RAM
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
OK. "Task-Switching" then ;).

Agree that android memory management is "efficient". the problem is that when it runs out of memory the app at the "back" of the stack gets "killed". data is saved for that app so when it's called back up, it "seems" like it was running all the while.

So, as per the OP question, since his problem was that his web pages keep reloading, ie app was killed due to memory constraints, his idea is to increase the RAM or in this case adding virtual RAM via swap.

It's not a bad Idea, since the amount of RAM is virtually increased, then the amount of apps that can be in RAM at the same time is also increased.

FYI, not only for froyo, i use swap for my NEO V running ICS. made DEAD SPACE run better than without swap. :good:

Haven't encountered a need on the P6200 though. Ofcourse, there must be a reason why 2GB RAM devices are now available. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DigitalMD:
there is not reason that swapping would make your tablet run better, none.

Because as of ICS , and with 1gb+ ram, you are emulating and interfering with what Android (linux) already does .

you have one foreground task and whatever idle tasks and then unused apps that are retained in RAM until they are needed or another apps needs space and they are removed from RAM. Then they reside on SD memory so what advantage does swapping to SD memory give you, none, in fact it adds a extra useless step .

SO Android attempts to keep RAM 80% used.at all times. If you look at the process logically, I do not believe can lay out a scenario by which the swapper apps beings any benefit to current Android systems.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
:D You actually pointed out the reason why the Original Poster wanted to use swap. he wanted his currently "unused" browser app to reside in ram, and not get killed. in this case it will be in virtual ram.

I agree with all your points. and I don't use swap on my tablet (P6200) haven't had a need, but i do use it on my phone(Neo V, 512 RAM, 384 useable).

All i'm saying is let him try. it's possible that he is hitting the limit on his Tablet. I know, cause it's easy to hit the limit on my phone that i'm very sure swapping works. e.g i can now switch between, Chrome, Facebook, Email, What'sUp, answer a phone call, send a text message and come back to Chrome (which has three open tabs BTW) without Chrome "reloading" those same three tabs. i wasn't able to do this before i starter using swap.

and yes, there's a bit lag but it's better than incurring cost of reloading a page each time, esp if your on a limited data plan.

One other thing that was not considered yet also are the OOM groups and Minfree. another option is Compcache.

The use of Swap really depends on the user and the way he uses his device. You can only see a benefit from swap if you consistently use up all your RAM. Which, if i understand the OP's problem correctly, is the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellot1M:
I won a free galaxy s3 for Christmas through my job(sprint) but i currently have a galaxy nexus. I'm torn between the two. The gs3 has more ram and a faster processor but little to no support for 4.2. Im addicted to 4.2 and most the ROMs for the gs3 or in some form based on touchwiz which i absolutely hate. From a quick look the ROMs based on aosp or cm10 are either still in the early stages of beta or not enough attention is given to developer or his work to motivate for further development. I guess im just spoiled by such a broad range of choices with nexus devices that I'm having to come here to ask for advise or input on what you guys think about the gs3 as a daily phone vs the gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b1337:
dude just use both and decide yourself, you already can look up all the differences and opinions on the interwebs so dont know what you think people here are gonna say different lol, plus u already answered your questions yourself it sounds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellot1M:
Yea i know. I sell these phones. I was just bored and wanted personal opinions. Don't really matter to me. Ill still play around with both once it arrives. Probably stick with my nexus. Even though the hardware portion would be an upgrade i don't think i could downgrade to jellybean 4.1.x with touchwiz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbrownla:
A Note II might make me think twice but an SIII? Bleh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
Upgraded hardware or the latest and greatest from Google? Pure Google or TW? Awesome assortment of ROMs and a ton of devs or basically TW and very few devs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Here's how I see the Dev community in both:

The Galaxy Nexus has tons of AOSP based roms. That's it.

The Galaxy S III has a ton a TW based roms and the beginnings of AOSP based roms.

Your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
For a note 2 it would be a no brainer, but the s3 is already quite old and not that much of an upgrade over your phone. I'd sell the s3 while the prices are still high.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellot1M:
Thanks guys. That pretty much exactly what i was looking for. I figured it would make for a quick buck.

I just wish the nexus 4 was available on sprint :( I've got an upgrade coming up and the only option i see as of now is the optimus g
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
If you don't care for the optimus g, save your upgrade for something better...possibly the galaxy s4 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I'd say at this point in time of you can handle the wait you should wait for 1080p devices. 720 is more than adequate but just like the jump from 30 to 60fps there is a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1user101:
Your gonna hate that button home xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovdr:
We don't know yet one of the big unknowns: Given that 720p reduces the screen on time, what's the battery life gonna be like with 1080p?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Pixels have nothing (or at least very little)to do with it its the display size, brightness and tech that affect battery life. Resolution is unchanging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovdr:
But the GPU needs more juice to push more pixels. Granted that they are using smaller nm scales for SoCs now which means more performance for less power however the extra effort for the resolution could negate this. Let's hope you're right and at worst battery life stays the same!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigcignus:
if you don't mind changing ROM everyday or have the latest go SIII.. otherwise gnex is still the best choice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andes85:
My nexus performs MUCH better than the GS3 ever did for me, granted, I was on T-Mobile, but Touchwiz and 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are dreadful. I got a ton of FCs on the GS3 as well.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealBorg:
I have now successfully rooted my device by downloading the firmware, unpacking system.img.md5, adding the su binary, making an ext4 sparse image and installing that to the device using heimdall. Problem was, that on my first attempts the system became unstable, the UI restarted repeatedly, especially when manually switching WiFi and Data Mode. After double and triple checking everything I found that I could create a perfectly stable system image by following the same steps but just not adding the su binary. One further attempt placing the su binary in /system/usr/bin (does not exist) and using it as a backdoor to install the binary to /system/bin/su I now seem to have a stable and rooted system.

It appears that something has been detecting my initial and straightforward attempt to tamper with the system image and made the system to become unstable. I have seen a lot of errors from PackageManager in my logs but nothing conclusive.

Tom
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnybr:
Hi Tom! I managed to root my s advance with this method, but in guide that I have read, was said that I should put the su binary on "/system/xbin/". I used that steps, by Xanonus. Over here everything gone right and after flashing, I got Supersu from Play store. If help you, please thanks Xanonus.

Sorry for bad English
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealBorg:
Xanonus unnecessarily copies everything out from system to new_system, you can just add the su binary to the loop mounted image.

/bin/su is the location of the su binary on every Unix system and Superuser also installs the su binary to /system/bin/su. I wonder if it would make a difference (avoid instability) to place it in /system/xbin/su.
