[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RealTic:
I keep telling myself I dont need the S4....but i'm sure I will cave sooner than later. As long as the S3 isn't neglected like some of sprints devices tend to be at times to influence early upgrades, S3 may be just fine with me.

The main thing that ticks me off is when Samsung releases the next big thing RIGHT after the next big thing...if that makes any sense. I know they need to keep their profits up and stay competitive with apple, but they literally JUST released the galaxy S3 and Note 2. It just really ticks me off knowing that someone out there is going to get 3-4 times the performance and double the screen definition and vibrance for virtually the same price I paid for my galaxy s3.

Sprint needs to apply T Mobiles idea to their service. If someone wants to upgrade early just add 20-30 dollars onto their monthly bill until the device is paid off. Expensive? for some, but not that bad for a brand new galaxy S4.

I wouldn't even be thinking about the S4 if Samsung would of blessed the U.S. with the 1.4ghz quad core.....but they didn't. So basically i paid the same price as the international version for my U.S. version Galaxy S3 that has two less processors in it.

Ok, i'll stop complaining now. I love my S3, I just think these two year contracts can be easily replaced with something better. Sprint would more than likely gain more customers and customers would be able to upgrade at any time for 20 dollars a month. T Mobile is going to gain some stock over this, I really like their new direction.

If T-Mobile had decent service around Omaha, I probably would consider switching....but Sprint and Verizon run the show around here, T Mobile is not very settled in around here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
No need to switch for minor upgrades.. we getting all the same bells and whistles via software.. switching would make about as much sense as having a peeing section in the pool.

However, Maybe when GS5 Comes out.. or the Note 4 (the 10" version at the rate they are going) then it might be worth a swap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
The reason I consider it a small upgrade is that I've researched it some and all 4 cores would never be in use at the same time only 2 would, and as ReapersDeath said, other than that the only "major" change is the camera which i dont personally see as a huge step up or as justifying me having to pay for a new phone

And the reason it wont have 8 cores is because Exynos and LTE arent compatible...so if you're thinking of getting the international version just cuz it has more cores, then be prepared to miss out on LTE

This is what i've read anyway, there are some more detailed discussions going on over there if you wanna check it out :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
I will wait, to me it's not "the next big thing", it's just not worth shelling out more $. I'll wait and see what the note3 or s5 has to offer.

My thoughts exactly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shazo85:
Not sure what the site was as I read it on pulse but the chip set does work with lte. It won't make it to the states due to supply and demand.

I really see no point in upgrading. They will have everything out for the s3 and once the s3 is no longer supported their will still be roms. Only way I will upgrade before the note 3 or s5 is if I have to replace my phone and they are out of the s3.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anazei:
Hey guys,

I just recently got my Nexus 10 and after making sure everything is fine with it I want to go ahead and root it.

Since I'm using a HTC Sensation as my phone I know how much a good ROM can improve the user experience and I'm looking for a nice ROM with good battery life.

Normally it's pretty easy to find a thread with a poll, or suggestions etc. but I'm out of luck when it comes to the N10 - haven't found anything yet.

Which ROM would you recommend as a good starting point to try out?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lim Wee Huat:
Rather than a poll or suggestions, it'll be better if you try it out different ROMs on your own since most ROMs here are fairly stable. Just remember to read their features and stuff..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Personally I recommend starting with CM. They have the easiest to use custom interface and pretty much everything just works fantastic. PA has gobs of customization but it is far from the smoothest experience on the N10. I personally just don't like AOKP.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
Try a few to see what you like. Personally, I'd go with the latest AOKP PUB build. TONS of customization options, extremely stable, and the PUB extras make it smoother and faster.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SFG:
I have run most of the ROMs and I prefer TeamEOS followed by AOKP. They both have built in custom optional tweaks.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addicted1900:
This ! if you like the customizations that AOKP offers try Mr.Robinsons AOKP PUB (Project Unicorn Butter).

I have to say i was a little bit disappointment with CM 10.1 on the manta, using it on my I9100 since almost 1.5 years.

In My Opinion AOKP PUB works better on our Device
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anazei:
Thanks for the replys guys, it's a lot easier for me to know which threads to look for now, thank you!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcano:
I'm using that one too, and it's great. And if you pair it with KTManta kernel you get a pretty customizable set up.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
I don't know why, but Mr Robinson's was a bit of a nightmare for me. I tried twice (clean install) but each time one of my favorite apps, FX Explorer, would lock up when trying to set up/access remote locations and then the N10 would just reboot. It happened repeatedly whether I used TiBU to restore data or installed fresh from the Store. This doesn't happen with the AOKP (mr1, build 6) I'm on now. The final straw, though, was rebooting from recovery (didn't do anything, went in and changed my mind) and couldn't get past the lock screen.

Anyone have an idea what the hell was going on?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcano:
¿Did you happen to select the KTManta kernel during the installation?.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
I didn't do Aroma, just flashed the ROM, so didn't touch the kernal. It's the one from the (official?) JB-mr1-build 6 ROM. Was that a mistake?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnIXmA:
I like Paranoidandroid for nexus 10. Gives you full tablet ui
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
My favorite ROM's (in no particular order) are EOS, Rasbeanjelly, and CyanogenMod
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcano:
No, I asked because I had instability problems with that kernel, until I found out they were caused by improper gpu voltages.

But wiith the stock kernel and Mr.Robinson's rom my Nexus was rock solid, so I can't help you there.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slin1402:
I prefer AOKP ROM, because he faster that stock, he has many settings and very customize. Also he has good performance at games and benchmarks.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anazei:
I decided to try the AOKP Pub by mrRobinson and I'm very satisfied so far :)

Might try Paranoid next, or I'll just stick with this one for a while - we'll see. You just have so many options to play around with on an Android device... it's beautiful. :)

Jus got my Nexus 4. So far I love it.

Coming from an S3 and a Note 2, I am very impressed. I would love to be able to add toggles to the drop down quick launcher. Can this be done without rooting and messing with Roms?

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You need root access and a custom that supports that feature.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
If you want to change tiles in your quick settings then you need root and a custom rom.. If you are talking about toggles in your notification bar then no you dont need rood, just an app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokh:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
That's not for the drop down menu. To have customizable toggles in the notification shade he'll need root and a custom ROM.

[Windows 8 General] inmnbob:
Does anyone know if the pens from the Lenovo and Samsung products are interchangeable? I have a lot of Samsung Spen that I use on my Notes and Ativ. I ordered a new Thinkpad 2 to take advantage of the smaller size and was hoping that my existing pens will work on all devices.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The ThinkPad is a wacom digitiser. The SPen is also thought to be a wacom digitiser. It may well work but there are different wacom models which are not compatible. Without just trying it yourself I don't think anyone can predict the result.
[Windows 8 General] D4rk_nVidia:
When you buy a ThinkPad 2 and there is no digitizer included, then only Wacom pens work. Those for 5€ :D OR Jot touch pro...

But the good digitizer won't work because the feature isn't in the display from ThinkPad without an included digitizer.
[Windows 8 General] inmnbob:
I got the Thinkpad 2 yesterday and the first thing I tried was the various s pens I have. Good news is they all work
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
What????

Only wacom pens? they are the digitiser pens. The wacom is a capacitative pen.

And yes, wacom digitiser is a standard feature on the thinkpad, just they dont always pack the stylus in with it.

Good news that the SPens work. Makes sense seeming as they are wacom based.

How is your experience with the tablet? Still reviewing my options for windows 8 tablets and a wacom pen is a requirement for me.
[Windows 8 General] drksilenc:
as of right now there are 2 different types of digitizers. 1 is what the intuos uses and the other is what is in the note series of android devices and most newer w8 devices use. The surface pro and most devices use what is called the feel range of sensors. as long as your device has this type of digitizer and not the intuos one the pen should work fine.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Sony also have their own type of digitiser

Hi, i flashed the ICS HongKong/Taiwan because i want to install CM10.1 Kexec.

I'm using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35000737

[Motorola Atrix 2] brianmoyano:

[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham412302:
no you didn't turned on usb debugging before starting too flash.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] justsomedrunk:
you gotta do a search on amazon because i am not allowed to post links it seems

Amazon has the note10.1 dark grey 16gb on sale for 409 plus 5 bucks shipping from one of there 3rd party sellers. amazon itself has the same tablet for 423. i just ordered it from amazon for the 423 because i feel safer dealing with amazon if there is any issues. not sure when they dropped the price but it was 449 this morning. might one to jump on it while it's up. i signed up just to post this:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
Pretty good deal, I would have went with the one for $423.00 also. I was lucky last Christmas and got a new sealed white one on ebay for $385.00 delivered, sometimes when you role the dice you win.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Chocu1a:
Newegg has a 16gb refurb for $370.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tritran18518:
Not really a good deal i think. i bought mine 16Gb wifi refubished ( 100% like new) + bundle (case+ usb connection kit+ extra s-pen) for $360 (after tax) last week.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhoang:
I just brought the same bundle from best buy yesterday. The tablet looks new but last night i notice there are dusts under the screen. Does your have the same problem or its just me. I don't know if i should return it or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tritran18518:
No, my is perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
It may not be........

I thought mine was also but its not.

I turned off my screen and took a very bright flashlight beam and low and behold there is 2 specks of dust suspended in the coating on the screen.

You can not see it until you shine a very bright light (1000 lumens), blinding light in fact.

So unless something else would happen to my Note i'm not sending it in.

.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhoang:
That was exactly what i did. I also found two, one can be seen when screen on, the other one not so much. Is your also refurbished?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
No, it was New.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhoang:
Wow, my is refurbished. So i guess i cant complaint. The speck of dust didn't bother me at all, but what bothering me is ive noticed a thin thread, like a hair, about 1 mm long underneath the screen. Its very visible when the screen is on. I guess that's why its refurbished.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Soul_Est:
If you're willing to do the repair yourself, you can probably get one for less then 300 CAD. I got my Note 10.1 with a cracked (one very fine line) touch layer for only 296.63 CAD from Surplus by Design http://stores.ebay.ca/id=679161510&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SST&_trksid=p3984.m1543.l2533

A new touch layer will cost me less then 30 CAD total from a Chinese eBay seller.

I got mine brand new in November and have recently noticed some dust specks under my screen. Only notice when screen is off and in direct sunlight.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhoang:
I will probably keep the tablet. I only paid 292 + tax for it at best buy and it was bundled with spen, case, and USB adapter. I figure for that price i might as well keep it.

I've got 6 uccw 3x3 widgets on my home screen. They're not heavy ones, they're basically just for looks and each one has a small embedded image and one hotspot.

Good evening all,

ok my problem is the other day i thought i would be clever and try flashing my HTC Desire S.

All of the ROMs i have tried so far have not gotten me anywhere, once i flash the rom it just sticks on the HTC logo.

i came across the PacMan rom just a few hours ago. i have flashed it along with the gapps now i seem to be progressing.

it moves on from the HTC logo to a blank screen but i see that the phone is still on because the screen is lit up.

im hoping that someone can point me in the right direction with this issue even if its a different rom and even the original one it came with.

the phone is rooted and was on a vodafone contract.

Thanks for any help.
