Can't say enough good about it

Been using my 128GB pro daily for 2 months. I love it and it has replaced all my other portables other than my phone. Best thing I did was to buy the"Manvex Slim and Compact Leather Folio Case Cover for the Microsoft Surface PRO" off of Amazon . It replaces the kick stand with an adjustable angle and provides a stylus holder. I also updated the stylus software with a patch from Wacom that provides pressure sensitive functionality and better calibration. Between hand writing recognition and the occasional on-screen keyboard I find I don't use the keyboard much anymore except when I am doing hardcore programming or something. I get between 5-6 hrs of constant use but go all day easily when just using it off and on. I am amazed at how fast it boots from a hard stop. I find that I turn it off instead of putting it to sleep in longer periods of downtime to save battery.

I have converted several iPad users who were frustrated with the lack of business functionality. Can't say enough good about it.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Links to the wacom software and case?

Come on share the love lol
[Microsoft Surface] demandarin:
I got my 128gb version with type cover on Saturday. Its really a great device. Its very powerful. Its an ultrabook in a tablet form factor. With its i5 and HD4000 graphics, it has no issues performance wise. I'm more than impressed with this device so far.
[Microsoft Surface] ReijMan:
I will own a Pro as soon as it has Haswell guts and the device is available in the Netherlands.
[Microsoft Surface] cramamarshall:
Well I was interested in this tablet for a while and I finally snatched up a Surface RT when they dropped a big chunk of the price. I actually ended up liking the tablet a lot. I waited up until 2 days ago to grab one of the Surface Pro's since they also knocked a $100 off of the price. I really would have liked to see a larger discount but overall I am very satisfied with this tablet. I love gaming and watching Netflix but I wanted a tablet that was powerful enough to run modern games but portable enough for me to carry with me to work and traveling. So far I have been running Windows 8.1 preview on it and I am overall pleased with the performance and the new features that Windows 8.1 implemented. I have not noticed any major issues as of yet. I had a slight problem with the Wi-Fi losing connectivity but I had not installed any updates yet I had just took it out the box and was playing around with it. Once I installed the firmware updates ithe problems I was experiencing with my Wi-Fi appears to be resolved. I am also happy with the fact that this tablet has a 1920x1080 resolution the picture quality is very good when watching movies and gaming.
[Microsoft Surface] someeh:
I've had my surface since February and I love it. I can't understand why people keep bashing the model. They complain about battery life, about storage... etc. I don't mind the storage, I have a 64gig sd strapped on to this badboy. I save all my stuff there. It's sleek, a little thick!! yes but really? is it that big of a deal? I'm totally happy with this unit and hope MS makes improvements on the 2nd model.
[Microsoft Surface] Thresher:
I agree with someeh
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Agree here also, ended up getting £200 back off of MS due to my order being screwed up a few times, something to do with their online ordering system..

I've been using it daily as my main machine at work as a replacement for my Dell Desktop, the only thing I cant do on the Pro is Hyper-V due to it only having 4Gb RAM.

I've also tried 8.1 but ended up going back to 8 over the weekend due to network issues, its not just the Wifi but also the NIC on the Lenovo dock as well, tried different drivers, changing the power settings and so on, still no joy, been back on 8 since Friday and all has been well so far, missing the new keyboard tho..

I want the Pro2 or Pro+ or whatever they end up calling it to have 8Gb RAM and 256Gb SSD, the RAM more than the SSD though, got the 128Gb mobel here and got 30Gb free, granted I do have Diablo3 installed though :lol:

Also have a 128Gb SSD in a USB3 caddy, that helps for moving stuff around that I dont need on the device itself.

Havent bothered with a mSD card yet as dont really need it...
[Microsoft Surface] demandarin:
Pro supports and has hyper V implemented. I guess it depends on what you trying to run whether the ram will be enough or not.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Yeah I know it has it, but coming from a desktop with more than double the RAM a Pro with 4gb doesnt cut it...
[Microsoft Surface] drumz0rz:
I am very very happy with my Surface Pro purchase. I got it used on eBay with the touch cover for a good price. I have a powerful, enormous gaming rig with 3 monitors, a huge keyboard, etc. I also have my Droid DNA. I needed something in between. I used to use a Asus Eee PC netbook, which worked, but the screen was small, low res, it was heavy, and very slow. It's only saving grace was the 6+ hour battery life.

I went with the Surface Pro because I wanted full Windows. Personally I don't like the Metro UI or those apps. Why would I want a Facebook app when I can open facebook in Firefox without the ads? Why would I want a Pandora app when I can open Pandora in Firefox... Why would I want to play some hokey windows app game when I have access to my entire steam library? (I just played through The Walking Dead, first 5 chapters. Such a good game.)

The metro screen is nothing more than a convenient quick launch / search to my regular windows apps. Otherwise I live on the desktop. I don't think I've ever even clicked on a metro app more than once tbh. The only exception is the Smart Glass. I can't wait for the integration between that and the Xbox One.
[Microsoft Surface] demandarin:
I have the walking dead also. Love that game. Can't wait till new season of the game and tv series drop. I've also just recently got Outlast. Very scary game. Prototype is a very good one also. IM still amazed at how capable the pro is at pushing these types of games. I hook my pro to tv with Xbox controller and im good..lol I wasn't introduced to Steam until I got my pro. Been going crazy buying up games on sale there.

Only thing is now I wish I had the 256gb version instead of the 128gb. IM running out of room..lol. I have a 64gb micro card inside it but haven't took the leap to attempt installing desktop apps/games to it.

All in all, been loving the pro since I got it. Had it for about a month now.anxious for this new windows 8.1 release. IM waiting for windows store method of install.

Though this might interest a few of you. Enjoy!

Had someone share this with me and figured it might interest you on this President's day.

I know nothing about Android TV software, but I'm interested in buying an Ouya (already pre-ordered) for the sole purpose of installing Android and using it as an Android TV with gaming capabilities. This may seem like quite a stretch, I'm not sure.

Does Google share the source code for Android TV? Is anyone else interested in this or something similar?
[Ouya Android Development] AxyAce:
Well, someone can try to port the Android TV Apps to Ouya, but we need the sources...
[Ouya Android Development] xlanhackerx:
Hey ... i think about the same Project.

First of all we should wait if the first Ouya Devices shipped because i think at these time they will release the needing Sources.

If not we have "GPL Violation" .... so we should wait.

I will perfom the integrated "XBMC" with now support Live-TV in Combination with "tvheadend" Server but need help to get tvheadend compile and run under "Android-Kernel" (Tegra3). If some developer will help it would be great !!!
[Ouya Android Development] RobKort:
XBMC is already working on supporting OUYA so no worries there. It will probably be ready by the time OUYA consoles ship out.

.........TPT'd From my SGS3
[Ouya Android Development] tb-killa:
AW: Android TV Software

I know it but for getting xbmc work like live tv you need server with Communication to your dvb device over USB. I actually test some dev porting and compiling of tvheadend server for Android Kernel but got some Problems because Most libs doesnt work .

I test actually with tegra 2 device so if first Version run its easier to port it to newer tegra parts !
[Ouya Android Development] AdamOutler:
I use my HDHomeRun on XBMC. It's natively supported with XBMC and it's a network streamer. You set up a list of your channels (takes a bit of work), then select which channel you want from a list. Get a HDHomeRun.

I been using a Rasp Pi....
[Ouya Android Development] tcollum:
Sort of related, I installed the YouTube for Google TV apk on my Ouya and it runs great. Works splendidly with a controller, and can still use my phone to control playback.

edit: sorry if this was a terrible grave-dig.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
Sounds great. Is there a place you might point us to to find this?
[Ouya Android Development] chrisanthropic:
I found a "newish" version here (not sure if it's the newest or not)

For those that can't locate the APK cause it keeps being removed....see attached.

I guess there's no playback control other than backing out?
[Nexus 4 General] dannyjk:
Anyway my story is that I had a beautiful nexus 4 that I bought in December and yesterday the screen was shattered when my friend accidently dropped it..Yes Yes I know. The eautiful nexus 4. Anyway Sending it for repair is a nail-biting option ,one where i am not so sure everything will actually be repaired.(Some guys got a debug rom installed instead of the stock google firmware after repair.We can flash the stock one back though).Anyway I just called the LG india mobile repair center office no that I got from their customer Care, and he said "Sir,We do not service the Nexus 4 model in India as it has not been launched".Hold your Breath!"However If you can wait, it will launch in India in 2 weeks and then we can proceed with the screen replacement process".The lady who picked up the phone was aware of the nexus 4 but said she had to ask somebody else about it and that somebody was the guy who told me the launch thing .Yes I know take this with a bucket of salt. But the fact of the matter is that if the repair center guys knew about the nexus 4(They are not sales guys!), I really believe then that there is a significant possibility that yes they have already started the process of bringing it to India.Anyway for those who wanted to see how bad my screen is cracked here it is.Yes I used a case and no I didn't use a screen protector and no I have no idea why it cracked so bad:confused:.It did fall on concrete face down.:p

[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Hello,

I'm thinking about rooting my phone (HTC One X 4.1.1, CID_102) and I want to make sure a few things:

1. I'm going to use this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069904

Exactly as it says there.

Is it ok?

2. When a new update is released, how can I update my device with the root? I will keep using the stock rom, only with ROOT.

3. How can I backup all of my data? Including pics, SMS, whatsapp, app settings and information and etc.

4. Is there an option that when I start my device again after it was formated, it will download all of the previous apps? if not, then I need to make a list of all of my apps.. about 35 but still.

Thanks!
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
1. Great choice!

2. You need to flash stock recovery. And restore any system apps you've deleted.

Then update normally and you won't lose root.

3. Do a backup in ClockWorkMod recovery or whatever recovery you use. Transfer it to your PC afterwards for safe storage.

4. Download titanium backup and back up all your apps. Then transfer the backup to PC.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
2. You will loose root by updating, but you can easily re-root. There is an app called rootkeeper but i have no experience with that ;)
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks.

2. Can you expand a bit about that?

3. I don't have a recovery yet.. my phone is stock.

4. Same as 3

How can I re-root? the bootloader stays open so all I have to do is just run the ZIP throgh the recovery again and that's it?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes correct, the rooting process stays the same. Or use a tool to root :)
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thank you, I guess I will ask about it when there is a new update.

Can you help me with questions 3 and 4?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well the steps are :

Unlock the bootloader

Flash a custom recovery

In that custom recovery is an option backup and restore, when you press backup it runs a complete nand backup of everything on the phone except the sdcard.

If you want to just backup parts like sms,whatsapp etc etc....then you can use titanium backup like TT said or another program called carbon. These apps allows you to backup just parts that you wantnto backup and restore after an update.

I always start with a clean install of all apps and stuff, it "feels" better to me. But that is a personal opinion ;)
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks, but my phone is stock, so when I unlock the bootloader the phone will be formated, am I right? So I need to backup my phone before I do that.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes thats correct, maybe carbon comes in handy there because it does not require any root acces. Its free in the playstore :D
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks I'll try using Carbon and rooting later.

I will comment here again if I'm having any trouble
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
rooted my device successfully :) it was easy, even easier than rooting the milestone lol

1. Is there a better application than "freedom" for that use?

2. I want the CM10 keyboard, because it's very good, swipe is also in my language. How can I put only the keyboard?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
1 . Can you explain a bit more specific the "freedom" part ...i don't know that ....I'm a noob

2 . You want only the swiftkey keyboard ? Its a install from the playstore right ?
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
1. Freedom is an application that lets you (with root) to get stuff from applications that costs money (in-app purchase).

2. No, the CM10 has the latinme (if I'm ont mistaken) keyboard, that Android 4.2 has as stock, and it has swipe feature. In CM10 they put swipe in more langauges so I want to use it.

I think that if I'll install the GAPPS from CM10 then it will install this keyboard also. In order to do that, I just need to put the .ZIP file in my phone, and from the recovery install it like I installed SU?

Can I delete it later? and the gapps will update also from market (and not blocked like a pirated application)
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Here's the keyboard, install like normal .apk. Pulled from android 4.2.1.

http://db.tt/g7ej8rog
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
1 . So if i understand it right its some sort of illegal app that gets in app purchases for free ? If so .... its illegal on xda :cool:

2 . CM10 is more TT's department i never used those roms so i don't know much about them....sorry, hopefully TT is reading along with us and can shine a light on the keyboard thingy ;)
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks, I'll try it hopefully it has swipe in other languages too.

1. IDK if it's illegal, but thanks anyway

2. What's TT?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
My dear friend TToivanen ! ;) who also helps people here a lot :thumbup:

Ow and about the freedom app, i don't see it in the playstore....dont actually know if its illegal....i will leave that in the grey for the moment ;)
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
oh :D he replied to me, I will update in short if the keyboard works for me as I want or not.
[HTC One X] Stephen:
This is just a warning.

Any app that allows you to download a paid app for free is classed as warez on XDA and is not allowed. You can not upload any app on XDA that is a paid app. The warez policy also includes trying to get around in-app purchases.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
ok, sorry.

TT, I installed what you sent me, but for some reason the keyboard doesn't appear on Language & keyboard menu.

EDIT:

Didn't notice, it was installed but it doesn't swipe in my language, but in CM10's keyboard (at least for the Galaxy Nexus) it is.

Is there a way to put their keyboard on my phone?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Swiping only seems to work on genuine 4.2.x ROMs. It didn't work on any JB Sense ROMs in Finnish when I tried, but on CM10.1 it is swipable in Finnish also.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
I edited my last post, I just didn't notice it.

See there for what I wrote please.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
What I mean is that I don't have an option for swiping in Hebrew, only in English, but in CM10 keyboard (at least in the galaxy nexus) you can.

I want Hebrew swiping in my One X, with the stock keyboard (that TT sent me).
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
I guess you need a ROM based on 4.2.x.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Oh that's sucks..

Can you do me a favor and put on Hebrew on your keyboard (stock one that you sent me) and see if it has swiping option?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Yeah, seems to be working. (hope I didn't type any insults) I'm on CM10.1
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Haha you didn't typed insulting words.

You have cm10.1 on One X android 4.2 or nexus?

Maybe there's a dictionary in 4.2 that 4.1 doesn't have and you can pull it out?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
It's on my One X. I'll try to pull the dictionary later today.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks.

What ROM are you using?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I'm on ViperX :D
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
CM10.1

Dictionary apk: http://db.tt/xNZkHYBu

Push to /system/app and set permissions. Try it after reboot. If it doesn't work try to install it normally.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks but I don't have a folder named "app" under system.

Can you instruct me in how to do it? and how to put permissions also.

Edit:

I found the folder, with a lot of files in it, and when I try to paste the file it gives an error. I guess this is the permission you talked about. So how do I set permissions?

EDIT2:

used a guide, I set premissions and copied to /system/app and restarted the device.

It still doesn't have swyping option in Hebrew, and when I click it in order to install it it says installation failed.

Maybe there's another file that should be placed on my phone? maybe install something through TWRP?

Another question, is there a way to have quick settings through notification bar like in Samsung's devices? It's very useful.

I mean without a ROM, just flash something (and not an app from market, I want a like built-in one with long-press-to-menu option and want it to be located in the upper part of the notification window).
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Sorry, but I can't help you any further with this. You need to flash an AOSP ROM to fully get advantage of the swiping feature.

I don't know much about Sense mods, but I recall there is one that enables quick settings in notification bar. Seek through the Android Development forum section please.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks. Guess I'll have to wait untile the One X gets 4.2 JB.

I tried looking for one before I asked but haven't found one. I'll search again.

Last 2 question:

1. When an update is released, I update regularly from my phone, and after that go to recovery and install the superSU again?

2. Can I install any ROM and anything using TWRP? I mean that it supports everything, and there are no mods/ROM/etc that need a specific recovery.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
1. First you need to flash your stock recovery back and revert any changes you made to /system/

2. Yup, it should support everything.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
1. And how I flash my stock recovery?

My device can be remained with the unlocked bootloader?

2. Found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2114584&highlight=quick+settings

I'm stock, I'm going to install it through the install on TWRP.

Let's say I don't like it, how I delete it and get back to stock? He says it changes framework.

EDIT:

sorry, new question :P I hope it's fine to you..

3. I'm thinking of installing a new kernel.

I'm stock, CID_102, root etc and android 4.1.1, software number 3.14.401.31.

a. How can I know which kernel is good for me?

b. if these 2 kernels good for me, which is better? I want good battery, good performance.

This: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2136731

Or this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2134086

c. Should I install it with the toolkit I asked about in the first message?

d. I saw fast charge, is it recommended?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Official updates are done with

Stock Rom

Stock kernel

Stock recovery

A stock recovery is flashed the same way as a custom recovery.

You can flash anything at anytime. When there are updates available you flash back the stock boot.img from the stock nandroid backup, restore the nandroid and flash back the matching stock recovery .... Bootloader remains unlocked at all times

Before you flash any mod to the rom you make a nandroid backup....so if you don't like it you can restore the nandroid

Kernels are for every phone different, try each kernel a couple of days and see which one fits you the best. There is no best kernel out there.

The kernel (boot.img) can be flashed with a tool but you have to install the modules yourself from the recovery .... i don't know if the tool does it for you but i guess not !

Fastcharge is no problem.....its not bad for the phone because its the same as charging it with the wall charger in the end.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
2. Do a backup in TWRP. If you don't like the mod, restore the backup.

3a. Try different kernels for a cuple o' days each and you'll find out which suits you best.

3b. They are equally good. Flash and try.

3c. You can try, but I've never succesfully flashed a kernel using one of them.

I prefer the manual way no matter what.

3d. It allows you to charge faster while charging from USB. If you use an AC wall plug charger, it doesn't make it any faster.

Use it if you want.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
WOW i guess we past the test on knowledge here TT :D
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Thanks.

So how can I know if the kernel fits my phone or not? What I sent fits? Both?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Kernel depends on the rom. Check if it match with aosp or a sense rom and if it is a kernel for JB

when you run a aosp rom you can not run a sense based kernel and vice versa
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You're on stock JB correct? Both kernels are OK.

@Marcel

Yeah. Thanks :)
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Stock count as sense?

Correct, thanks.

Now, I chose this one and in the installation instructions he says REPACK, so I clicked on it. What should I download from here?: http://d-h.st/users/xmrepacks

Then I downloaded the 106# link.

Now what do I do?

Where do I get the modules?

Flashing the img is possible with the toolkit I think.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Hmm. I don't think you need to repack for stock ROM. There isn't even any pre-repacked .img for it.

Make a backup before you begin!!

Take the downloaded .zip and extract the new_boot.img from it. Flash it using whatever method you want.

Then copy the .zip to your phone, got to recovery and flash it. The modules are in the zip.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Umm.. I think my phone is stuck on the htc One x screen.. should I restore the backup? hope I didn't messed up anything..
