So, the ZAGG is not worth it in your opinion, have you use one before?

I have ordered 1 and doubt to cancel it and order an xtreme guard because it is much cheaper.
[One (M7) Accessories] millicent:
After a few days removed the full body zagg thingy, couldn't stand its rubbery feel. It is also very thick, and on top of that it wasn't cut to fit the whole screen.

However, my advice is to try it out for yourself, that's the only way, definitely there are people out there who like it. The only good thing I can say about it, I think it might protect the screen better than other, thinner, protectors on the market.
[One (M7) Accessories] hung77:
Ok, thanks for the answer, i only ordered the screen protector.
[One (M7) Accessories] quahog_convo:
I believe the original version is the rubbery wet application one. They are reliable, but they do have a texture that a lot of people don't like.

The HD version, I THINK, is a dry application one, however.
[One (M7) Accessories] Arkangel786:
I actually preferred the rubbery feel of zagg, it actually made the phone more 'grippy'.

Having tried both the zagg and the xtremeguard protectors I would say they are actually both on a par in terms of feel/quality and protection they provide.

However as millicent said, you'll have to try it for yourself as these things are as much about personal preference as anything else.

[One (M7) Accessories] cloudraker:
The Zagg HDs are a wet apply, but do not have the same rubbery feel of the normal Zaggs. That being said they are slightly shorter and more narrow than the screen itself.
[One (M7) Accessories] jebise101:
does Xtremeguard have that rubbery feel that Zagg's do? If they don't I will be buying a bunch for my devices.
[One (M7) Accessories] millicent:
It feels a bit rubbery, indeed.

Well it is like Google made a rom for G300, only this one is the chinese "Google" company.

Original UI, ICS 4.0.4, good memory management, great 2g/3g use,

low consumption - you can leave wifi and gps on permanently - you`ll see

-Removed chinese apps, well ~99% is exorcised.

-Removed chinese cwm (you get that one in the original release )

-Corrected installation scrip

I'm not familiar with flashing rom, just root the N7 for OTG and some Apps.

But it's unable to update by system update from 421 to 422 recently.

It shows a lying Android with exclamation mark and "no command".

So I try to flash stock rom with Asus root toolkit,

but it halted at bootloader very soon, when I press the power it shows "booting failed"

It is not success when I try to flash 421 or 422

I also try to flash stock recovery, it shows lying Android.

But it's ok to flash CWM or Teamwin, and show that there is problem on mounting sd card

Please advise what I can do:confused:

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Organized_Chaos:
Are you able to boot into the recovery menu or boot loader?

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

If you can get into recovery menu then wipe data/system and flash a new ROM of your choice. If you can't get into recovery but can get into the bootloader then flash CWM or TWRP recovery using fastboot, then flash a new ROM of your choice in the new recovery menu.

I see no reason why this can't be fixed unless you can't get into the bootloader menu... At that point its beyond my knowledge.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack425:
Yes, I can flash CWM and Teamwin but not stock

Bootloader ok but when press Start it shows booting failed

Can enter recovery, but both show cant mount cache and sd card
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Organized_Chaos:
What happens when you do it from command line using adb/fastboot? That should probably give you more detailed info on why it failed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
Forget about the root toolkit and use fastboot in command line. There are tutorials on this.

Download newest stock 4.2.2 from google.

Open command.

Put n7 in bootloader

Type-

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

sleep 10

fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip

Replace "bootloader-grouper-3.34.img" and "image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip" with the new ones you downloaded.

Once done, you can unlock the bootloader again using "fastboot oem unlock" , and the re-root and install custom recovery, then flash custom roms all you want.

Hello,

I am holding a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE N8020 tablet, which running on version JB 4.1.2.

I am seriously looking for a Call Recorder/Recording application for my N8020 tablet, as I previously did hold the first generation of the Galaxy Tab P1000 before(Already Sold), which this two tablets are using the speaker phone mic to talk if not inserted with any earpieces. Last time, when holding P1000, I have tried several Call Recording applications but were not working as all of the call recording audio source "Mic" only record one party of the call, and the other party voice could not be recorded. However, I understand that Samsung Tab series later tablet do come with a earphone, which are totally similar as a real mobilephone.

Lately, I have purchased the Note 10.1 N8020 tablet and afraid that most of those Call Recorder/Recording applications still not able to work as like last time P1000, only managed to record only one party of the voice. However, I am seriously looking for a Call Recording application as I need it on my work purposes.

I would like to check with you guys expert out there anyone is holding the Note 10.1 series and really do already have a call Recording application tried and work with both party of the voices can be recorded? Or even if anyone knows which Call Recording applications now a day work with tablet that call recording audio source "Mic" managed to record both party of the voices during a call?

Please kindly assist and advise.

Millions of thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shishir95:
I've noticed my phone sometimes freezes when I wake up from sleep, notably deep sleep. The screen turns on fine, but the touchscreen doesn't work at all. I can use the volUp/volDown keys and they make the volume popup trigger, but I have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen starts working again. It doesn't happen that often, but it's very annoying when it does. Any ideas?

I'm running stock, rooted. I haven't installed any weird apps, just a few popular games, Facebook with notifications turned off, etc., the usual things. I barely have LTE coverage in my area, just around 1-3 bars or the phone switches to HSPA+ every now and then, so I don't know if that's related. Any recommendations, observations, or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
