So I recently had and Acer Iconia A100 die and need to replace it. Due to budget constraints I'm choosing between the GT2 and the Nexus 7.

I'm familiar with the spec differences but I can't pull the trigger on one or the other. Any GT2 users want to convince me? Let me know your thoughts... positive and negative...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
unless you want a camera,I would choose the n7

I have no gripes about the gt2 but the screen is a lesser resolution and the n7 will probably have a longer life for android updates....

in the tabs defense the gt2 does seem to be built a Lil better, the n7 has that pesky screen lift problem and just feels flimsy

For best peformance = Nexus 7

For Gaming = Nexus 7

For Multimedia features = Galaxy Tab 2

For Android updates = Nexus 7

For a better construction body and physical resistance = Galaxy Tab 2

For Photos = Galaxy Tab 2

In my option, you should buy a Nexus 7... I only buy GTab 2 bcoz Nexus 7 isn't avaiable in Brazil, and I don't have any familiars in US...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kailashnj:
I have both Nexus 7 and Tab2.... Bought Nexus 7 last year when I was in US and only WIFI version was launched. Have been using it since 8 months now but only issue that I faced with it was that I could not connect to internet as no 3g was available. Hence recently I purchased Tab2 for my self and gifted the nexus to my kiddo...

My two cents...

Nexus 7 3G is the best tab to own. Very good in gaming and multimedia features too. Love the Android updates and have been using 4.2.2 since last 2 months. Battery lift of my wifi N7 is way better than the Tab 2 with 3G. One biggest grouse - no expandable memory of N7, my 16gig get over soon when I download movies to watch on it.

Only reason I bought Tab2 is that N7 with 3G was not available at the time I purchased the Tab here in India. Though if I was out in market at this point, I willl certainly pick the N7 3G version.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sc_tbfd:
Thanks for all the replies, I have to say I expected folks in the N7 forum to recommend the N7 but didn't expect to see such support for it from GT2 users. I'm not worried about the lack of an SD card since I don't ever take much media with me, mostly docs and pdf's and with 16GB internal I think I will be fine (never had a problem with the 8GB on my Acer except for the GPS writing extra files issue). I do have a fear that I will miss the rear camera but I think the performance and Android support for the Nexus is winning me over...

Thanks again

[Windows Mobile Software Development] benclewett:
For all those persons trying to develop for both models with the same code, have any of you worked out a way of hacking the auto-download, so that the SDK will download 2002 code onto 2003 platform?

Thanks to any member who's found this hack!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsme:
the debugger / embedded environment will not auto upload, but code runs just fine, by manually copying it to your device.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benclewett:
Thanks for the advise. I have found this to be true, and am getting used to the compile-copy method. It's only being lazy, and out of interest, I would like to find out how to hack the system so that the auto-copy takes place. (Would also be interesting to see whether what the 2002 debugger does to 2003...)

Also it's sometimes very difficuly to get the 'Explore' option work. Sometimes my file explorer, what ever I do, refuses to show me the file system on my XDA II. Where as the direct copy method eVC used seems to work far more reliably....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsme:
I created a batchfile, which uses 'pput'

no need to wait for the explorer that way.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benclewett:
Excelent. Which can be called as a post-operation in the compiler setup. I'll buy you a pint for that...

I am not sure if whether this is normal or not but lately and for the past few weeks if not 3 months or so if I dont use my Xoom for a while and when ever I go to unlock it by slding the unlock screen to the right , it will decide to change itself into landscape mode, even though I am holding the unit up into portrait mode, it will go ito landscape mode, and its gets quite annoying.

To get back to normal I need to press/tap the Home button, choose the default Xoom Launcher wait for screen to get back into portrait mode than after that go back and choose Nova Launcher. I am using Nova Launher on my Xoom II

So not quite sure whats causing my problem.

Thanks

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fedemyth:
Hi. I've updated my xperia t to Sony's official JB 4.1.2 9.1.A.0.489 firm.

I'm noticing that the battery life is no as good as expected. If I charge it up to 100%, and leave it locked all night, in the morning it has 80% , sometimes 75%. Some days, i can let it locked for 6 hours, and it's still in 100% ( strange at all). Of you look at the screenshots, it looks like it's always awake!

I've also tried with Battery Guru app, but I feel like it wastes more than it saves.

A friend has a Samsung galaxy ace ( i know, i cannot compare) and the battery literally doesn't go down if he doesn't use it.

Thank's guys.

P.S: Any idea about 9.1.A.1.138 firm? Changelog? availability?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
Odp: Xperia t JB Battery Life

Battery problem is already known for this .489 FW. It's just a very first public release of JB, don't expect it will be completely bug-free. We just have to wait for the next releases with fixed this and that so the battery life would be correct again.

I have the same problems like you but I got used to them. For the first few days I was really pissed off and thought about flashing back ICS .195 (which had incredible battery life) but number of the advantages of having JB on my phone was the main factor of not going back to ICS.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] wednesday13:
That happened to me also lost more than 15% during sleep.

I disabled google search, facebook, android wakeup, etc and turned off auto sync and i lost 1.3% per hour.

In ics, i'm losing less than 1% per hour. So this is pretty decent to me. I'm still getting 3 hours of screen time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] merseyman:
Translated,

I have everything possible running on my phone but don't know why the battery isn't lasting.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fedemyth:
How?

You say that yoy've disabled android wakeup.. how do i do it??? , also in better battery stats, I see Alarm Manager and another alarmManager ( this second apparently from Sony) , with 811 and 2686 YES, 2686 wakeups each. Any idea? what are they about?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turvytopsy:
The Sony Alarm is Fast Dormancy

The other one is most likely the combined total of a number of apps - to see them you need to be rooted, then you can access "Alarms" from the dropdown menu.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] XDA00000:
How do I use:

adb shell dumpsys alarm > AlarmDump.txt

What app..cant find anywhere how to do this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I have a V but generally same things apply.

I think there are simply too many items switched on that would not allow the phone to fall into deep sleep.

Also, a battery usage of 1.3 % / h when idle would hint to that.

I have around 3000 wakelocks, too, but under normal day usage and not during sleep. During sleep there a few only, wakelock time over night is 0 %, and the phone uses close to no battery. Straight segment is the night time usage.

Compare with the pic from above, that phone was used lesser than mine.

very helpful. Thank you
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I only have some experience with playing with the Tab 2 WiFi version at WorseBuy. If you buy the Galaxy Tab 2 7", you will retain two things from your A100: the non-HD screen and the proprietary charging port. The 720p screen on the Nexus 7 makes a huge difference in usage, especially texts will be sharper and easier to read. Having a standard microUSB port is a huge plus because the cable is cheap so you can charge the device anywhere.

In term of performance, the Nexus 7 will be far faster with it's Tegra3. The Tab 2 7" have a TI OMAP dual core 1GHz, my Galaxy Nexus have the same CPU brand, but a faster model clocked at 1.2GHz and the same outdated PowerVR SGX540 GPU. I can tell you the Nexus 7 is a much smoother and lag free experience than the Galaxy Nexus and will handle 3D games much better. I know benchmark don't mean alot to some people, but this should give you an idea: Tab 2 7", Nexus 7. PS. I have heard people complaining about lags on the Nexus 7, well... I simply don't have it.

Where the Tab 2 win is the 3G version can make direct phone calls which the Nexus 7 3G can't, but it also cost more than the Nexus 7 3G. Of course, you already know it have microSD slot, back camera, and you can get an HDMI adapter, which is overpriced imo ($40) and will add to the cost of the tablet. The Nexus 7 doesn't have any form of HDMI out which sucks.

The most important factor for me is the software, and what follows might be a cliche thing you will hear in a Nexus forum. With a Nexus device you will get latest Android updates from Google and a larger developing community. As for the Tab 2, Samsung said 4.2.2 will be the last update and even with custom roms there aren't a lot of developers working on it. Despite what I said above, if the Nexus 7 only had the Tab 2 specs, and vice versa, I would still get the Nexus 7 because the benefits of AOSP, Google updates and many custom rom developers which makes a big difference in long term value.

You can also look at the Asus Memo Pad 10 if you don't mind going with a 10" tablet which is a good budget tablet. The text isn't sharp in 720p resolution on a 10" screen. However it has lots good benefits the Nexus 7 doesn't have, such as dedicated microHDMI out, USB OTG out of the box (no root needed), microSD slot, back camera, and Tegra3 chip as well. Also unlike the Transformer tablets, it have standard microUSB port. I had to return it because the digitizer on my unit went haywire and I didn't know how soon it will get CyanogenMod support.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sc_tbfd:
Thanks very much for that, pretty much covers it all.

I'm really not worried about the lack of an SD card on the N7, I think I can live on 16GB. The lack of a rear camera worries me a little but I think the performance and Android support are winning me over.

Thanks again

You get what you pay for ..

IF it where not from you saying you have a very limited budget i would say with no doubt. Get a Galaxy Note . I have the nexus 7 and Note 10.1 . when im home The Nexus sits on its charger. When im out it goes with me because it fits in my purse. But lately i have been keeping the note under my arm when i go out. I love the Multi window Cascade/ Dual screen mode. You can Run up to 20 apps at one time. Most do not suspend while having another app in action such as hand writing a note on the wacom digitize r . For school or real work productivity . Price verses performance . There is not a tablet on the planet better then the Note.

Now the nexus 7 is the fastest slim sleek device for on the go use. I could never mount my note to the dash to use as a gps. It will NOT fit in my purse It uses a propritary charging port

My Conclusion is a Note 8 might be the best of both worlds. I just cant see spending the 400.00 for one when i have a awesome 7 inch Nexus 7 and a mind blowing Productive Galaxy note 10.1 ..

Maybe think about how you will pack it around .. Portability goes a very long way ..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
I just sold my 8gb GT2 7" and I have a 16gb and 32gb N7. I wanted to like the Samsung more, as I usually enjoy their products and don't find Touchwiz as horrible as everyone says... BUT, the GT2 7" had to be the worst tablet I've ever used from a lag perspective. I don't know if it effects all sizes or just the 8gb but you cannot escape it. The stock rom is horribly slow and the various popular roms only help a bit. It reminded me of my old Android phones from 3 or 4 years ago in that you had to reboot it daily as it would slow down over time. My OG Samsung GTP7510 10" i/o tab is faster and a year older.

The N7 was had zero of these issues. Now saying that, the N7 has some cosmetic and power on issues that continually plague many people including me. But, when it's working it's a better tablet.

If you have the money buy a Note 8.0

Hi guys,

I'm one of the fools that updated to JB the moment it came out. Now, i made a stock nandroid backup with TWRP before the update. Is there any way of restoring it? Flashing the files manually using fastboot doesn't work. Since there is no TWRP for JB hboot, anyone know if i can restore it?

You can extract the system.ext4.win from your TWRP backup and use that to make a custom stock ROM.

Remove whole system folder and replace with your extracted system folder

Then change the mount point in the updater-script to suit the JB mount point.

And of course remove the boot.img as it's the ICS boot.img and you may want to replace it with JB boot.img
