[LG Thrill 4G] pollutedmuse:
I flashed xbsav28broot.zip which is pre rooted and has twrp. Now she's on the v8 rom. I have been trying to root my other thrill which is running stock 30b and havn't been successful at all, for some reason the drivers are showing up. As for base band, that is a problem because both devices are omap4430/xmm6260, as such, they are on euro networks. I know from developer xbsall threads (check out his roms, very cool stuff) that I need a different baseband, and to change the network commands, but inspire of hours riffleing through sea threads I have yet to find instructions. I am sorry I couldn't be more help, I am brand new to this stuff. Good luck fellas. Drasric00 created a great thread "a moons guide to xbsa v8 ice 3d with acid audio" tremendously helpful, except for the baseband thing.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
I am having a lot of trouble deciding between these two devices, particularly because the nexus 10 is not available to try out at any physical store in my area so I'd be going on just online feedback alone. I made myself a little pro/con list. I am hoping that by seeing what I see, maybe someone can help me tip the scales in one direction or the other!

Galaxy note 8 (not considering ipad mini, i like the note better)

Pros

-I am a physician, the size is perfect for carrying around the hospital in my white coat. As a former owner of an ipad 3, carrying that around was annoying.

-Colors look bright

-S-pen. I don't use it a whole lot on my note 2 phone, but i also dont take notes on my phone. I hope to be able to use my tablet for reading pdfs, highlighting and even following along in lectures. This provides that opportunity.

Cons

-Price, very difficult pill to swallow the price for half the resolution and processing power.

-Lack of XDA support (can this tablet even be rooted? Huge concern for me if not), I'm sort of a flashaholic.

-Havent had a chance to watch an HD movie yet.. can someone comment on what I might expect to see quality wise compared to my old ipad 3 and even the nexus 10?

Google Nexus 10

Pros

-Easily the most beautiful display available, I am a techie who wants the best and brightest

-Always updated by google blah blah, stock android

-Amazing developer community

Cons

-Size, I do like that tablet to fit in my whitecoat and not be cumbersome in the hospital all day

-I'd be buying blind, I have never seen a galaxy 10 tablet in person (ive seen the 7 but i know theyre very different)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Personally id go for the Nexus 7. I dont know how big your lab coat is but it can fit into a suit jacket snugly. I dont think you will see a big size difference between a Nexus 10 and a Note 8, and like you mentioned they are charging an arm and a leg for a vastly underequipped device because it is a "Note"
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
i thought about the nexus 7 but i found that extra inch pretty clutch for doing practice exam questions and viewing imaging. The 8" also would fit perfectly in the pocket (obviously 7" would too)

Nexus 10 On the Way

I recently purchased the $139 refurb deal on the Nexus 7 and while it's a nice tablet I found that the screen size was too small. I already have a Note 2 as my phone and found that the Nexus 7 didn't offer enough to justify using it over my Note 2. I ended up giving it to my kids to use. I next considered the Note 8 and the Nexus 10 just like you. I ultimately decided that I probably wouldn't be happy with the 8" screen size either. The reduced size Android tablets are designed mainly for vertical orientation and so make you feel like you are just using a scaled up phone, which doesn't appeal to me. I also think the Note 8 is over-priced. If Samsung made a Note 10 with a high-res display I would definitely get it, but they don't. I just can't see dropping money on a tablet that uses a 1280 resolution display. So I decided to go for the refurb deal on the Nexus 10 in the 32gb model. Like you I haven't ever seen one but like the idea of the high-res display and the Nexus brand (get updates right from Google). At $429 with free shipping I figure its worth ordering just to try out. Mine should be arriving tomorrow. Here is where I ordered from:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisrita:
I bought the Note 8. I also have / had the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Nexus 7, and iPad 3.

The Note 8 is for people who need to use it to write handwritten notes. None of the other tablets I've used come close to the Note 8 if that is what you need. The size is perfect for note taking. It can take the same amount and size notes on its smaller screen as the iPad can in zoomed mode. However if you do not need the note taking aspect of this tablet, you would be right to think it's over priced. I liked the Nexus 7 size better, it was just more comfortable to hold. The original Samsung 10.1 tablet is slow and the screen is not that great, but it is still my preferred device for videos, mostly because it can display them on the largest screen due to its aspect ratio. The iPad has a beautiful screen which made it a pleasure to use, and I didn't mind its weight at work, but I rarely use it at home because it's too big and heavy. The old 10.1 Android got more use, though now that I have the Note 8 it probably won't be used much any more. My recommendation would be to buy the Nexus 10 for home, and the Note 8 for work if you need it for note taking, but if you don't need the s pen, I would wait a month and see what the next Nexus 7 or 7.7 or 8 will be. It should be announced at Google IO.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwheat:
nexus usually it s a device with alot of problems . this is what we know for shure . it a fact

bad quality control - worst device ever at this capitol
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_boo:
Go to any tablet on XDA and you will see just as many horror stories people returning their device 6 or 7 times due to some QC problem... Some people are just never happy. There are some legit problems but a lot of what you see is from people who get their jollys off complaining about a product they bought...

The only problem the nexus 10 has that others don't is a software issue... The thermal throttling is WAY too conservative... This can be easily fixed with a custom kernel... And as this guy says he is a flashaholic a custom kernel shouldn't be a problem...

All tablets with LCD screens have light bleed issues... If they has put an Ambled screen on this bad boy it would have raised the cost and people would have complained...

The one thing I wish is that they stuck to a 1080p res screen... There really is no reason to go above that... 1080p looks AMAZING on my 42" lcd(which by the way also has huge light bleed lol) it would look awesome on my nexus 10 especially since they probable could have gone with an AMoled screen at that res for the same price

As far as the OP goes, I I'd pick the nexus 10 lol

PS sorry for the rant lol
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqkevyn:
I just got the Note 8 today (attempting to making the switch from the Nexus 10). Both are great devices, but I just needed the S Pen feature work, so I went with the Note 8. It's too early to know which one I'll like better at the end.

I can tell you that I love the screen resolution on the Nexus 10. The Note 8 has no comparison when it comes to that department.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lim Wee Huat:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
I ended up buying both tablets today since I can return either in 15 days. SO far I'm undecided, but I am bummed out that there is no root option for the note 8.

On the flipside.. the nexus 10 is already seeming like a pain in the ass to carry around. Also, whoever designed the note 8 deserves a swift kick in the nuts for making the camera stick out on the back.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravanous:
I picked uo the Galaxy note 8, 2 days ago. I am using it while on the road for work while at the hotel on the network I am watching the wifi signal strength drop ever time I cover thetop right back side of the tablet with my hand. I mean just the corner of it could any of you guys that have it check. I can post a a video if needed. You can not miss it.

Another issue is the battery life, it just goes too quick. Maybe I am not giving it enough time. If all I am going to get is 5 hours on this battery. I will take this tablet back.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisrita:

Root is available for Note 8. I used this and I can verify it works.

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

I don't have any wifi issue with mine. I just tried to reproduce it, but I see no change in signal strength or Internet speed regardless of how I hold it. Check at another wifi location to rule out the hotel being the problem instead. Exchange it if it still does it.

I agree the battery could be better. It gets me through a work day, but needs to be plugged in before I'm ready to put it down for the night. The iPad does do much better with battery life. I'm not sure whether my other Android tablets are better though. Possibly, but it hasn't been noticeable to me.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraker007:
Cool! very interesting.. but i assume even after root, theres no custom roms or kernels available for overclocking?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
If a Nexus 7 should even be considered you need to at least wait until next month when official specs are released for the new model update that comes out in a few months.

If root is available this quick, those will follow soon enough even if there are none now.

So your saying that signal levels drop when you place a highly signal absorbent object over the antenna? That's so crazy, I would never have thought this would be the case. [/donebeingadick]

Just because your single device had issues doesn't mean everyone elses does :cool: My Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 arrived just fine without any huge glaring issues (only "minor" issue my N7 had was screen lift, which was common during early models; none on the later model I bought).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwheat:
If my device has problems that means that the quality control its bad . if a single device has problems it could havebeen yours , others and others . It could probably happen to you in the future also .

don t you think?

i think 50% of the nexus 10 units has problems from the number of complains onthe forums .

I want a clean product , like my money are . I need the perfect quality control from google and samsung togheder because i dont pay half money when I do .

Dont worry Ravanous ... nexus 10 has also 5 6 hours of battery. Buy note 8 or wait for ipad mini 2 if you can eat IOS.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s4vva:
I have a Nexus 10 but I have it on ebay at the moment and waiting to replace it with a Note 8 3G (whenever they are available here in the UK!).I love the screen on the N10 but that's about it, I find the size awkward and rarely use it as a result. I see myself getting more use out of Note 8. I always thought that 8" is the sweetspot in terms of size.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
There are thousands of Nexus 10 owners on these forums, which we can see from ROM and kernel downloads. Of those, there is at best only 10% of owners who actually post here. Of those 10%, only 2-3% have problems with their tablet. 2-3% of product that has issues is on the upper end of "acceptable" for most companies these days.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gacostac:
In December 2012 I sold my Ipad 2 and bought the Nexus 10.

Love it! It has become my working horse! I Travel a lot and i love the fact that i can connect my external 1tb hard drive to it and have all my files, music and video at hand. I bought the logitech keyboard and thanks to evernote i havent used word on my laptop at work for weeks. I also became a Rom flash addict! In summary i love the Nexus 10 and never had any issues with it.

But now Im planing on selling it to buy a Note 8. I really like the idea of handwriting on it. I dont know if it would prove as good as advertised, but im willing to try it. So Im selling my N10 and buying the Note 8 in a couple of days.

The other day i went to Best Buy and played with the Note 8 for a while and liked it. The screen resolution is "good enough", the speakers are terrible, but the S-Pen idea seams attractive to me, since I use my tablet as a notebook and work tool.

I will let you know how it goes.

PS: im really happy that you can root the Note 8, another plus on my reason to buy it now! How about XDA suppport, pelase!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
I picked up a note 8 last weekend. I may well kick myself when the nexus 7 rev 2 is released, but for now I enjoy it. It's very lightweight, good codec support, the screen is fine by me (I have a Nook HD+ with a high pixel density screen, and find that many times fonts in the apps I use are actually smaller than I like; I also find the the note 8 display to be a lot brighter, if not as well color balanced indoors.)

It's definitely a rootable device, look into framaroot.

My reason for wanting root was 1) to be able to do Titanium restore and 2) to be able to use the SD card for more than just file storage.

In order to accomplish the latter, I tried a few things and have settled on

1) a scripted modification, best run (by me, at least) over ADB that allows init.d scripts to run

2) a second script which runs at boot time (remember to set the script permissions and ownership correctly) and mounts the SD card under data.

Many but not all apps are installed by default onto the SD card and files can be saved to either the card or internal memory.

Since the 8 is currently available only in a 16 gig configuration, getting the storage limit addressed usefully is why I didn't return the device.

A word of caution: the Note devices don't have an onboard recovery that's as robust as some of us who are used to doing whatever we like with Nooks, knowing they'll reset easily to stock, are used to.

I did wind up needing to use Kies and a painfully slow download process to reset to stock, although I later located the US firmware on sammobile - before you start tearing into your device, it's not a bad idea to get the correct firmware identifier written down and to start the download process. My impression (untested) is that a tool called Odin lets you do a system restore much more interactively than the Kies setup does, although the Kies setup will work also. (I've only needed to do a full restore the once - one of my earlier attempts to set up a script failed in such a way that the device booted but wasn't mounting any of its internal storage!)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Steve.Cena:
I think I might have painted myself into a corner on this one. I got my phone rooted on ICS & have been loving it. I used TitaniumBackup+ to do a full system backup and then proceeded to nuke the bulk of Verizons apps. All was well. Now, the Jellybean update is out. The OTA update hasn't hit my phone yet. So I went and downloaded the official build. It turns out the upgrade won't run without the missing Verizon apps. So I went to my backup folder & lo and behold: they didn't get backed up.

My fear is that the OTA update just hasn't made it to me yet & will also fail because those applications are missing. Right now, it's stuck on BackupAssistantClient.

Someone suggested I go and get gapps, but that won't install either.

Does anyone know where I can find copies of those apps or am I just SOL? It's not TOTALLY awful. It just means I have to wait until November for my contract to be up.

Thank you in advance!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sir_Eagle:
Google "House of Bionic" read all insructions, download program, and use it to FXZ back to stock ICS with all the apps then you'll be good to go.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
It should be nice and simple in your situation.

1. Use RSDLite plus the 6.7.246 FXZ file to put the phone all the way to stock.

2. Get root on ICS and then install OTA Rootkeeper. Make sure that the only things you do are root and install OTA rootkeeper.

3. Use Stock Recovery to apply the JB update. Check for root, which should hopefully have stayed.

All should be well after that. I've done some reading but I'm not 100% sure if it's safe to downgrade flash back to ICS after you take the JB OTA.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Steve.Cena:
The House Of Bionic works perfectly! I did lose root though. I used the Voodoo app to back it up, but for some reason it just didn't protect it. I'm ok with it for now as I was more interested in JB than having root. All I really used root for was to get rid of the bloatware in the first place.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] csantarcangelo:
Wait!

STOP!

Use HoB to root as well. In the main menu, it is under utilities. THEN update the superuser binaries and use Voodoo to save root.

Then you should be able to run the update from the stock recovery and restore root when you reboot.

No need to keep the annoying bloatware! Or once updated you can add Safestrap and try out some of the cool JB ROMs.
