Is it a root problem? Sometimes you might just have to re-root the sucker.

Are all the things in your internal storage still present? With trickdroids 4.2.2 rom the "sd card" location moved so you had to find everything on the internal storage(folder named "0" for that rom) and simply move it all over to the new "sd card" location. I mean the SD card folder, not any actual sd card removable storage...

Hi...

I'm having few issues with my N10 and I'm not sure if everyone face it...

My N10 sometimes reboots itself, when I'm listening to music or installing a new app or such...

I could not access any USB or HDD using nexus media importer, my otg works fine with nexus picture viewer...

I've heard that heating up on top left at back is normal for N10....

But is this reboot a hardware issue? And media importer is buggy or my android is? Stick mount can access my USB and such for 100% sure? Coz I don't wanna root my N10 for some more time...

And in between I'm getting that Greg WiFi where I get to use browsers but any apps...

Do you think my N10 is defective?

If you are rooted then try USB OTG Helper [root]. I have found this utility to be the best in handling a wide range of formatted OTG storage from SD cards to HDD (self powered). All with R/W permissions. The commonly quoted solutions just did not cut it.

If you are not rooted then check out "How to Root Nexus 10 on Win/Mac/Linux! [Step-by-Step VIDEO Tutorials]". Rooting even if you intend on sticking with the stock ROM opens up a world of options to resolve issues. Look at my signature links for other must have utilities (e.g. TWRP).

Of course this is just my opinion. I have a i605 and I have flashed lots and lots of roms, Vanilla Rootbox V4.0 is by far the best Rom out right now with xtream customization.

How the hell is this Q&A?
[Galaxy Note II General] artnada:
I got my S4 on day of release, and have just, yesterday, swapped it back for a Note 2 (plus cash).

I had a Note 2 before the S4 and I liked the size of the screen etc.

I was impressed with the S4, but after a while I noticed a few things that actually annoyed me intensely with it.

Battery life is awful. It would last only around 5 hours, and that was not doing a lot, and would drop from 100% to around <10% in such a short time.

The heat issues the S4 have are incredible, especially when charging. I actually wondered if one day the thing would burst in to flames.

It would be uncomfortable to hold at times, especially on a warm day. It seemed to exacerbate the problem.

Another thing, the screen in direct sunlight. Even though it would be set at the highest brightness, it still would not be bright enough, and because it would get warm, it would dim the display more to "save it"

I guess that's AMOLED for ya.

The Note 2 I have now, I got it at around 12 pm yesterday, and after setting it all up how I like it, programs, themes etc, after around 5 hours unplugged, it had only used around 16%. That was after messing with it a lot. Had that been the S4 it would be way down almost out of action and I'd have to charge it again.

So, I'm sad to say, I only had the S4 for 23 days.....

The S4 looks and feels nice in the hand, has some nice features, but I have to say, the Note 2 does it for me due to battery life.

[Galaxy Note II General] Jasonchewy91:
I believe a major cause of the shorter battery life is due to the 1080p screen, which is existent in other high end phones like htc one and Xperia z. The race for Bigger and higher resolution screens have put battery life to the catch up game. I recalled when I first got the note 1 the battery sucked real bad due to the large screen size albeit 720p.

"Another thing, the screen in direct sunlight. Even though it would be set at the highest brightness, it still would not be bright enough". This is exactly the same with GNote2. I live in Cannes, France, a really sunny place, and i always have problems with that. If i'm outside, and wanna check my phone, i have to hide in shadows like thief, even if the brightness iss on maximum.

I'm already use n7000 because i have no money for buy n7100,anyone to donate me?
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
FHD is not that big a difference. I can't tell at all post flashing custom kernels in fact. And surprisingly it looks much better than some FHD LCD phones IMO. And regular pen or pencil or even other stylus is not a replacement for S Pen - when it comes to pressure sensitivity, accuracy etc. - with it's wacom digitizer.

And 6.4 inch apparently - too large for my liking. Might as well get a tablet then. By the time it's out, N3 will be out anyway.
[Galaxy Note II General] victorator:
I got my S4 as well thanks to donations and I've been using it for 3 weeks. After that I switched back to my note2 and gave the S4 to my wife. She's happy, I'm happy. I don't miss the S4 at all (except for the camera and the hd screen).

The Note2 kills it when it comes to battery life. It's the perfect size (s4 is too small).
[Galaxy Note II General] anirudhks:
yes agreed , the Z ultra will be out this 26th June , so N3 wil defnitely have more stand out features than that.. just hoping for a new design and less bezel.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Not sure about the bezel. Sure it'd be nice and all - but the reports of S4 OLEDs cracking really makes me worry and suspect that it's due to thin bezel. I don't want to get screwed over without getting any warranty etc. And that's despite Gorilla Glass 3.
[Galaxy Note II General] echenze:
The Note II is just the best. I heard it and now I'm using the S4. I have had to do a lot of modifications on the S4 just so that I can get great battery life. Not the case with the Note II. It just worked. I miss it. I might even go back to that Titanium Gray Note II though the S4 and its awesome FHD screen and camera is holding me hostage. If you have the Note II consider yourself lucky. I believe it is still the best smartphone out there. The 5.5" display, the S-Pen and the monstrous 3100 mAh battery can't be traded for anything else I know.
[Galaxy Note II General] titooo7:
I love my Note 2, but I honestly don't think Note 2 is better. It has all what I need but just because of that I can't say it's better than S4.

Maybe the battery it's better, we also have fm radio, more internal memory ready to be used and our phone doesn't get so hot but that's all.

[Galaxy Note II General] mazdamiata210:
I bought the s4 with the intentions to either give to a family member or to sell for profit and after using it for a few days I went right back to my Note 2. Poor battery life, too much lag for that kind of power, and it was full of too many useless gimicks to me. It felt like it was rushed and unpolished. My note 2 is and will be the best device on the market right now and quite possibly for a long time (if samsung decides to make the note 3 the same as the s4 just bigger)

The GN2 screen size is just perfect & i cannot think of a phone with a smaller screen than GN2 .....Battery life is a huge parameter in consideration & GN2 easily beats S4 in that department too.....I cannot switch over to S4 for some synthetic functions , I will certainly wait for GN3 & buy it if it impresses me...

I believe that 5.99" screen seems too big but a latest rumour says that Samsung is planning a 5.7" screen for GN3 & that would be awesome...Click the link below for this info...

[Galaxy Note II General] victorator:
I was disappointed with the size, the overheating and the shutter lag.

The screen on the S4 is magnificent (it's brighter and better for outdoors and navigation) and the camera quality is really awesome (the pixels d their job and the amount of detail is quite impressive for such a small sensor), the sound output when using external headphones is also a bit better on the S4, it's more punchy and just louder.

The cons: It's smaller, it often overheats especially when using data, battery is not as good, there's no fm radio, 1 gig less internal storage.

It's up to you, the S4 is a really amazing piece of hardware, no doubt about it and as long as you can stand the little quirks I mentioned and the size I think you would be happy with it. If you want a smaller phone there is no better choice.

I'm waiting for the note2 successor though ;)

I mostly buy branded device (Vodafone or O2), so the 1st thing is to flash generic ROM (international/unbranded) and then setting it up. Always do it from scratch, as noticed that when restoring from backup, have issues mentioned by you.

Now the other thing is, that the note 2 spoiled me badly, so other devices seems to be sluggish when comparing :).

Also very important is how is your phone set up...

The same happened to me. I thought both Notes were huge and stupid and just a fat S3. I used to laugh eveytime I saw one. Then when I needed to change from my Omnia (yes, i900 was my last phone, still using it xD), I spent days and days searching the web and realized the Note 2 was actually an awesome phone. Got it and it is the best device I've ever owned. I know a lot of people with S3 and realized this is NOT a fat S3, not even close to that description. It's just perfect. Now everytime I see and use a S4 or other phone I feel like I'm using a toy or something. This screen is so addictive and it slides perfect into my jean's pockets, The only problem is going to happen when I'll need to change again because everything looks small to me now.

I have had my note 2 since it was first released. Love it. Recently I got 'new phone itch' and went out and bought (one at a timeto try) the developer 64gb One, s4 active and s4 (gotta love America for the full refund policies at stores.like target and best buy). In all cases I totally missed the screen size and kept trying to recreate my Note 2 on them. And despite them being supposedly faster, in most typical daily use situations they werent. Things were a little better here and there, like camera, but thats about it. I found the screen on the Active washed out. I found htc one lack of pull down menu frustrating. I found the s4, well, just not my note! Most of all nothing comes close on battery (well not since my treo 680 with 2400ma third party battery).

Now im back on my n2 and feel at one again! And at least I got rid of the itch (for now...)
