[Nexus 10 General] NickTheMajin:
I had an iPad 3 and liked it but I figured it was time to switch to android so my note 2 and tablet could be integrated. I have learned the error of my ways and will be getting either the next iPad, next note 10.1 or any windows tablet/ultra book that catches my eye. No more Nexuses.
[Nexus 10 General] boominski:
Well I think it should be pretty clear that I'm not trolling. I have already said that I prefer Android to iOS, and that the N10 is far superior to the iPad in every respect (my defective screens notwithstanding). I also have a large dislike for Apple control freakery and really hope that Android tablets take off. I have also said that I can live with the wifi issues, creky back, and (moderate) light bleed. It's the uneven screen that's th killer. I read a lot. A reasonably even screen is a necessity. Does that sound like being picky? In contrast, my Nexus 7 experience has been flawless, while others report the same kind of problems I am having here, so I can see it from both sides and can see why some people think it strange to get 5 defects in a row. I also believe people when they say they have a great device. Which is why I have persisted with the exchanges. I also recommended it to one of TNTs telephone operators when arranging an earlier RMA. They said they were tempted to get a Nexus or an iPad, and I said they should go with the N10. I wouldn't say that now though.
[Nexus 10 General] mymusicathome:
I think the iPad is great for my grandparents or my mom who has a hard enough time working the tv remote ; )

Myself I prefer something a little more advance to play with.

Simple devices for simple minds.
[Nexus 10 General] NickTheMajin:
I'm far from someone who can't work a TV remote. My tablet is fine now because I flashed cm10.1. The point I'm arguing is that if its sold at Walmart it should have an experience the average person can pick up and enjoy. The issue is this tablet does not in many cases. You can see by the amount of dissatisfied people in this forum. Never before have I seen so many problem threads on an android device in xda since the thunderbolt. Go into the note 2 forum and ask if people like it and it will be a universal yes. That is not the case here.
[Nexus 10 General] mermoid:
I'm with you on this one. I have two friends with N10s, one is perfect and the other has very very slight light bleed in one corner (well within what both he and I would consider acceptable). Whereas my first unit has serious light bleed, wifi issues, dead pixels and my second one has appalling light bleed and a yellow tinted screen :-/ it's difficult to comprehend.
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
There might be different quality batches ranging from "near-perfect", "good enough", and "you'd have to be crazy not to RMA this" :p
[Nexus 10 General] stiggy2012:
They must be sending out RMA'ed units again. It's the only way this makes sense.
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
The inconsistency of anecdotal reports makes me wonder if their overall operation is partially sub-contracted out for fulfillment, with different organizations handling different regions -- and providing significantly different levels of service quality. As others have seen here (and no doubt my posts are annoying, though inadvertently, to those with issues), I've had a great experience with my N10 and the two N7's we got for my kids at Christmas -- all 3 devices are pretty much perfect on the first try; no need for RMA, returns, etc. Almost feels like a different organization is servicing those who report receiving open boxes and bad devices.

[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
Sock puppets? What are the people called where they swoop into a negative forum and proclaim how magnificent something is and how them, their family, coworkers and people they hardly know have no issues? :p
[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
Also I noticed a week or so ago I have a smudge or something on the screen. What do you think? Do I have approval to RMA or is this minor? It doesn't bother me in daily use as I don't game or watch movies on it. It is concerning for resale though. Also is this light on the edges typical? Again, it doesn't bother me in real use. This is at 100% in the dark running a backlight bleed app....they really do have an app for everything.

It looks worse in real life while booting.

Sorry for two posts....couldn't find attachment button in edit post mode.
[Nexus 10 General] NickTheMajin:
I would have RMAd that the second I got it. That's horrible.
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
I think that's the first time I've been accused of swooping... Sorry, I guess I missed the rule forbidding posts that might present a counter point to your personal perspective.

If you'll take a bit of time to actually read my posts, I think you'll find that they're pretty calm and balanced. My own experience is, genuinely, different than the negatives posted here. That doesn't mean I'm disregarding them or disrespecting the posters. But it suggests to me that the negative experiences shared here are far from universal. Many people visit and lurk in forums like this specifically to learn about products they are considering purchasing. Since my own experience, and that of several folks I know, differs, I felt it might be worthwhile to share that as well. My hope is that casual forum visitors will get a more balanced view of the topic than they might if only negative points were allowed in the thread, regardless of others' experiences.

Strange. When I zoom in, it looks like there are also darker blotches around the light area. Is that the case? Also... I'm assuming this is on the inside, where you can't get to it. I'd find something like that very distracting. Is it a smudge, or possibly a pressure area from something behind the screen?

... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
LOL...and 2 more will say I'm whining.

I didn't name names.

I got no beef with you and agree you are coming around to seem balanced. I have no idea what others experience was. It really doesn't matter in the long wrong. My experience on 4.2.1 was sh1t. I don't care if the whole world posted that it was great it wouldn't change my experience. I think that is the thing everyone that is only smelling roses is missing here. If Google shipped you a device that you couldn't believe they sent you for $400-500 your tune would change and rightfully so. Even if you think you are changing perspective or balancing the equation or whatever it still doesn't matter if they get one that is jacked up. They are gonna say, damn, just like the forums said.

In fairness 4.2.2 has straightened mine out so far. However, after reading some posts of others and the issue list it seems like the clock is ticking on my uptime.

Dude, I got no idea. I don't see dark blotches on the screen just the lighter smudge. I pushed on the back of the screen a little and it doesn't get worse? Like I said, I don't do dark movies or games, mainly reading so on a mostly white background you don't notice.
[Nexus 10 General] NickTheMajin:
That's not whining. Your screen looks terrible. Not even just the blotches. The backlight bleed is horrific in every corner.
[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
I think I have just been avoiding RMA because I wanted to see if software fixed the reboots. Maybe time to send it off.
[Nexus 10 General] NickTheMajin:
Nothing will fix that backlight bleeding. I don't know how you've lived with it. Watching movies at night must be impossible no? I have bleeding in the lower right corner and even that takes me out when watching movies at night. Its pictures like yours that prevent me from RMAing it. I'll most likely get a worse one.
[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
If it makes you feel better I ordered it on launch day. Like I said, I mostly read on it so I don't really notice it with a white background and I never run 100% brightness in real life.
[Nexus 10 General] chiccitstix:
It's a moot point, as apparently I misread what he said.

But software is fickle. There are a trillion different variations of applications, downloads, misc files and media, preferences and other settings that one can have on their N10. If you exchange your N10 because your Wi-Fi drops or your tablet reboots, only to load up your tablet with the same exact configuration once you get a new one, it's not going to solve your issue. It is of no surprise that N7's and N4's all of a sudden started having issues when they got 4.2.1 as well. I highly doubt N10's hardware jumped ship and infected these other devices.
[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
I think you are still missing it. People are sending them back because that is what Google tells you to do. They assure you they haven't ever heard of it rebooting dropping WiFi or whatever and say send it back.
[Nexus 10 General] killerapl:
That's correct. In fact they have told me I can ask for a replacement until I'm satisfied with the product and encouraged me to keep exchanging.
[Nexus 10 General] SayWhat10:
so you ONLY came to a conclusion that its a hardware problem AFTER the 4.2.2 update huh?

so what if 4.2.2 didnt come out . You said you had reboots so you would still be having reboots.

say 4.2.2 came out xmas 2015

guess you would be saying its a software/android issue for the next 24months?

gotcha
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Sorry -- you quoted me when you posted this, and I have absolutely no idea what you're getting at (really)...?

Best I can do is to respond to what you wrote (above):

I

never

came to the conclusion that there's a hardware problem with the N10, and I don't recall having made any statements that indicate a belief that there's a hardware problem that was apparent either before or after the 4.2.2 update. I do not, in fact, and did not, believe that there's a "hardware problem" with the N10.

You quote me as having said that I "had reboots". As I recall (and I'm not about to dredge up all my old posts to verify this), I might have mentioned that I had a "couple" of reboots and a handful of freezes (while using Chrome) in the time since I purchased my N10 in early December, and none at all since updating to 4.2.2 several days ago -- which reinforces my belief that issues with freezes and reboots had to do with software exceptions that were raised, primarily, by Chrome, not handled properly in Chrome, bubbled up to the OS, and not properly handled there -- resulting in freezes and/or reboots. None of that has anything in particular to do with hardware.

If I'm totally missing your point, could you please explain what you're getting at?
[Nexus 10 General] SayWhat10:
My apologies this reply should go in my other topic about reboots

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
Sucks that I have to make this thread but here it goes.

So my month long Nexus 4 experience came to a very sad conclusion. When I received it, it was the best phone I'd ever used. The stock android Nexus experience was incredible. 7 days in, I had a bike accident, and the nexus 4 broke it's back. I didn't really blame it's fragile nature because it was an exceptional condition. Then yesterday, it fell just 18 inches off a chair, face down, inside a Rearth Ringke case...aand it's screen cracked.

I used to defend the Nexus 4 a lot, but I have realized that it's a bit too fragile for someone who expects modern smartphones to survive 1.5 foot falls at least.

Anyway, so now I'm in a situation where I can buy one of my friends two phones off him, both are just 10 day old so as good as new.

a) S3

b) Note 2

Obviously the Note 2 is a better phone, but I'm just concerned about the size.

1. How was your experience with the Note 2 at first? Was the size an inconvenience? Did you adapt eventually? How long did it take?

2. Any issues with Touchwiz? I'm coming from a Nexus, remember.

3. Are there too many broken screen issues with the Note 2 as well (Like there are with the nexus)? How's the durability in general?

If 1. is an issue then I'll probably go for the S3.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleDevlin12:
Sad to hear about your n4. I say go for the note 2. It may seem a bit too big at first but soon you get comfortable with it and other phones seem small :p . About touchwiz its come a long way from what it used to be. I used to hate tw as it used to make phones look waaay outdated but now after using the note 2 I dont know how im gonna do without it its just amazing and makes life so much easier with its functions. If your worried about the sceen breaking there are cases reported of it breaking by falling from a very low height. I have had a few drops but my hard rubber case has stopped it from even getting a scrarch :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
Yeah there are such cases for every phone but it's the frequency of cases in the N4 that's worrying.

Hmm yeah that's what I've heard, that you tend to get used to the 5.5 inch screen after a while.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameerabbasi:
1. Took me about half a day to adapt from my Nokia N8.

2. It's probably easier to use than stock Android. All stock features are there so, I guess not.

3. The plastic looks/feels cheap, but it's very durable in my experience. Also, both the SGS3/SGN2 have Gorilla Glass 2, which is the most durable screen glass out there. Unless you're talking about Nokias (My N8 once came out from under a quad bike I was riding without a scratch).

Droped it from 1.5 m today and he survived.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Most guys here will advice you to get the Note 2 but the fact is the Note 2 is pretty fragile and a lot of people here have also reported cracked screens from small heights. The note 2 is an excellent device but it has to be used with care. If you can be more careful then it should do you well otherwise just go for something more rugged like a Sony Experia Z or HTC One X+. The S3 is almost as fragile as the Note 2 but does fit quite comfortably in the hand in comparison to the Note 2. Also I had the S3 and because it was easy to use with one hand and easily fit the pockets I never dropped it. I've already dropped the Note 2 twice trying to use it with one hand, fortunately It was lucky enough not to have suffered a cracked screen.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
I came from HTC Desire HD using custom ROM with plain vanilla JB 4.1.2. SO I was used to stock JB. Getting used to Note II was no problem. It is such a wonderful phone, I love ti. It is bigger but I got used to it. Touch Wiz is a bit ugly, but pretty practical and has good visability. As I'm older I prefer visibility over "design" :)

Yes, it feels fragile, especially for me coming from Desire HD which had ALUMINIUM UNIBODY, but it is so light and you can keep it in your shirt pocket. I wouldn't drop it though :) But this doesn't mean anything, it is just the feel we have towards something. I had DHD for 2 years, and it fell frm my shirt pocket when I was bowling, just landed on it's back or screen flat. I also had a silicon cover for it. And it died! No screen broken, nothing, but it died. And DHD has one of the sturdiest bodies of all phones. So maybe that doesn't mean anything. Maybe plastic is better fit to survive the falls. I'm planing on getting a cover for Note 2 though, since I'm afraid it might slip from my hand, and I think I'll get this one: SAMSUNG EFC-1J9FW, since I have similar (flip open) for my N7 and it is just great.

Thanks

android 4.2.1 worked fine until i updated to android 4.2.2 which was causing so much trouble to me

the pc will detect the phone as offline device seems like the pc unable to recognize the device, but usb tethering still worked fine

after some reading this is due to the adb thingy i suppose? since the 4.2.2 updates the adb for new security purposes but the at the computer side, the adb is not updated

seeing articles http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/android-4-2-2-adb-device-offline/ my phone wont detect the rsa on mypc...

i used mskip's toolkit to reinstall the usb drivers but i suppose it is still the old one(maybe still compatible with 4.2.1 but not 4.2.2)

guys please help, if there is some method i can manually update my adb to the newest version which can support my nexus 4

i also updated my Android SDK, all the files included under android 4.2 but still, the computer wont detect it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
Hi if you're using the Android sdk and it's all configured properly then make sure that tools and platform tools are up to date. rev 21.1. It's in a separate category in the sdk manager to the base sdk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ Bryant:
Try opening the "platform-tools" folder and press SHIFT+right click and open the command prompt with device connected.

Type in "adb devices" and a prompt should show up on your device for allowing usb debugging between your pc and you device.

If you already did this then you can trying removing Nexus 4 drivers from pc, and reinstalling them.

Also, if you want to unlock and root your device on 4.2.2, use the guide on this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147413. Just make sure you use the .img file specific for your device. Hope this helps.

About:

This tutorial will show tablet owners how to install a phone messenger and get Google Voice to work with it. MMS isn't supported but SMS will work. Notifications will work. Everything just like the 'Messenger + Google Voice app' has without the price. ROOT ONLY!

Needed:

Tablet

GV Intergration v2.0.0.4(attached: gvi2.5.apk)

Google Voice(attached: gv54.apk)

Phone Messenger APK You want(attached: Mms.apk)

Steps:

1) Install Google Voice from the apk attached and setup the account.

2) Install GV Intergration and setup.

Settup Should Be:

GEmail: Real

GPass: Real

Enable Intergration: Yes(Check this after step 4)

Intergration Type: ROOT

Send Type: Google Account

ALL Contacts

Replys to Texts: Yes

Sig Sent: blank

Sig Recieve: blank

Recieve Notifications: Naitive

Notification Bar: Yes or No(doesn't mater unless you have a sending issue)

Screen On: Yes

Popup: No

3) Move Mms.apk into android/app/Mms.apk. Tablets won't have one here.

4) Now install the Mms.apk from the apps folder.

5) Go back and Enable Intergration. Tablet will Reboot!

6) After reboot, run Messenger and Voice at the same time. Send some texts through messenger to your number. If you dont recieve a reply your gvoice app needs to relogin. Continue sending some texts till it notifys you to relogin if it hasn't already. Took my tablet(Asus TF101) 15 seconds to notify my Google Voice to relogin. Once you relogin it will update itself and all will be fully functional. You don't need to do these steps again. Your done!

Note: Now that the app is considered a phone native app with its number you can link gosms, chomp and such messenger to it.
