[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sefrcoko:
Sure the build quality could be better but I haven't had a single issue with mine since I bought it on release day. From the reports here it seems like maybe some of them are not as solid as others.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bbfoto:
Obviously they are not "all the same" since some owners are reporting here that there are no issues with theirs. I think most people are going to use some type of case with this, so IMO it's not too much of an issue. Of course I would like to see better build quality, but I don't think it's that bad. I agree that the plastic back is too shiny/greasy/slippery/nasty, but then again most people are going to put it in a case.

You can get a good sense of the build quality by checking out the display units at Best Buy (if you live in the U.S.). These things are handled by tons of people and kids each day who treat them with little respect because they don't have any personal investment in them. You can always tell which products on display have subpar build quality.

And Really? It was too thick for you? How much thinner do you want it? There won't be any room for the battery if it's thinner, or for the S-Pen silo/dock. I'd rather have a bit longer battery life and a secure place to store my S-pen rather than a thinner tablet. The weight, thickness, and balance in the hand are the best I have experienced in this general size.

Oooooooo magnets Are bad man. Not so much for regular phones but for phones with stylus and digitizer it will over time cause dead area s on your screen. Don't believe me ?

Head over to the note 2 forums and check out all the problems with cases involving magnet clasps. If got so bad the companies offered to replace your magnet sealing case with one with a simple button in stead. I had one and as soon as I put it on I started having problems with the area around that magnet.

Just stay away from magnetic cases period. Just trust me. Or mess up big time. Once that part of the screen gets borked its borked

That pic is the replacement one with the button they sent me. Also watch out for those magnetic kickstand cases. Big no no too those utilize neodymium!

Amen thin ness had gone to far. I don't want any thiner devices. Just keep them how they are and make better thinner batteries cpus whatever. Battery tech needs a big overhaul that's our biggest weakness
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bbfoto:
^Thanks for the tip about the magnets and the screen/digitizer! I had completely forgotten about the issues with the Note II!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jdub1981:
The white official cover sucks. Someone mentioned here about a book cover from amazon awhile back. Ill be changing mine out to that one soon.

Someone else on this forum said there were magnets that hold the screen flap in place. I beg to differ, there are no magnets atleast not ones that provide ANY kind of security. Plus the flap folds at weird angles and is kind of flimsy. I do not recommend the POS cover unless you absolutely need it. Which unfortunately I did because I bought the tablet while traveling on the day it came out and had no other choices.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] janjannsen99:
Yes but magnets do cause screen problems.that's confirmed on many threads. Do not buy a case that incorporates them.please just trust me
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] janjannsen99:
Does anyone know of a case that does not utilize magnets because I need one

The STM Cape does not use magnets. It's currently at the top of my list of cases I'm considering.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] rosareven:
I just got a magnet-clasp cover and I can confirm that within ~2 hours, my s pen has trouble landing strokes properly at where the magnet is when the cover is closed.

This warning is a bit too late for me now. Fortunately the cover was cheap. Thank you for bringing that up.

Also regarding loose plastic back - there is a small, thumb size loose area that I can press on to the left-middle edge, but it's not visibly coming loose. I had Nexus 7 before the Note 8 and the loose Nexus 7 case was worse than this.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] janjannsen99:
Just take it off it may not be too late.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] eyecon82:
why? I've had the official book cover case which does have a magnet in it and no issues..

please provide proof before making claims like this

All ipad flip covers have magnets in them and they haven't had any issues
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] RavenY2K3:
I think it's more to do with the type and/or size of the magnet used in 3rd party covers that use them.

I had all sorts of issues with "some" 3rd party cases which had magnets, so I can confirm from my own personal experience that there can indeed be a negative affect when using such accessories, where as I had none at all with official cases.

So, I rooted and installed CM10 on my Kindle Fire. Works great.

You need to load the drivers in both regular and fastboot mode. Copy down the device IDs when they install and then you need to deinstall the drivers, update the INF file with the new deviceID strings and then reinstall the drivers.

Cheers and good luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I agree with xBeerdroiDx. The best thing is to just look around. Some of the ROMS may have what you want while others may not. Also remember that just because it might work great on my phone does not mean it will on yours (and vice versa). Play around until you find one you like.

Just bought an xperia active thinking that I could essentially use it as a poor man's version of a garmin edge.

It came with 2.3.4 and I updated it to 4.0.4. The problem is I haven't been able to get a GPS lock at all no matter what I do. When I searched around apparently it was a bug that was fixed in 4.0.4 but it doesn't seem to be the case.

I tried it in airplane mode (to try to save battery) at first but it didn't work so I turned the radio on (without a SIM card) thinking that it might also turn the GPS receiver on to no avail.

Can I not use my phone as a dedicated GPS without a data plan?

I have a Kindle Fire 2 running stock OS﻿ v. 10.3.1. I have it rooted with TWRP v. 2.3.3.0, I have the CM 10.1 and the GApps on the SD card. I've read I need to downgrade the bootloader. I've read that to do that, you must flash v. 10.2.4 bootloader, which I also have.. I'm all set (as far as I know), I just have no clue as to how I flash a bootloader. Mind you, I do not have a Fastboot cable.

Thanks.

[HTC One V] tallnproud:
Do you know if you have the updated radio (v1.00.00.0928)? If so, then you need to know that there are only a select few ROMs and kernels that will work with the updated radio. If you also have the updated hboot (v1.57, I believe), then you're kinda stuck (like me). If it's older than that, then you can try to do the RUU process to revert back to the old radio.

Good luck!
[HTC One V] M@GM@:
This problem generally comes due to mismatch of kernel(boot.img or bootloader) and ROM. Check weather you are using correct kernel image or not.

U said u are wiping everything that's fine. But are you flashing a boot.img before installing custom ROM.??

i should mention that previous version (5.4) was unstable at 850mv, but had only tried it once though before going to bulletproof..

But I can tell you right now, if I run the thing at 850mv on Elemental X my speaker is going to sound like Rice Krispies.

Thanks for the response.. What all will be lost with data wipe? Will I still have downloaded apps?

The user wants the stock kernel which came with the ROM. He has to flash the Kernel or flash the ROM once again after wiping the data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Yes this is exactly what I'm asking about. If I don't have the kernel and I reflash the ROM after the data wipe, what will I have lost when the phone reboots? Maybe a better question is what will I need to restore as I've done a full backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ramdesai:
When you dont wipe anything and flash the rom, you won't loose anything as far as i know. This method is known as dirty flashing. This may sometimes causes unintended issues.

If you wipe cache, dalvik-cache, boot, system and data and flash the rom, you will loose all the apps installed, messages, contacts etc. This is full wipe, clean install.
