[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellTenPeople:
To answer my own question, the Toshiba Write doesn't get pressure sensitivity — much less good performance — out of either SketchBook Pro or Ink. It does, however, do a nibble job in HandyNote Pro which is why I bought it.

The normal swiping and app switching is not quite as smooth as I was expecting from the "next gen" Tegra 4 — especially not in Balanced performance mode. I also find it odd that it has a dedicated charging port which I keep mistaking for the headphone/mic jack, but at least it charges reasonably quickly which is good because battery life leaves something to be desired — like more of it.

Nevertheless, I'm still giddy from actually being sent a tablet without any discernible defects. 6th time the charm :D And it only took 8 months.

Update - July 29, 2013:

I celebrated too soon — defects discerned.

1) Brightness fluctuates even with Auto-brightness OFF. The screen seems to go brighter when displaying light content and dimmer when displaying dark content. It does it abruptly and annoyingly at any brightness and there's no way to disable it.

2) Dust under screen protector or, worse, glass. The Write, like the Xperia Tablet Z, seems to have a factory installed screen protector over the glass. Whether the dust was under this protector or the glass I could not tell. The two Nexus 10 I had (and returned) had stuff under the glass so it's possible.

I contacted Toshiba Canada and they sent me a box to send it back to them for service. At least they're paying for all the shipping.

After a week's heavy use, I have to say that either the OS is still unoptimised for the hardware, or the tablet I got was defective (not beyond the realm of possibility). The Balanced mode was very stutter-y and sluggish especially in app switching. Maximum Performance mode was smoother but ran real hot and got about 6 hours battery life.

Furthermore, some apps (including the built-in Think Free Office) flickered when the onscreen keyboard was engaged. Also happened with the xda-developer app and Flick Note and a few others but not with Google Docs or Evernote so I suspect it's down to app/OS optimisation for high res screens. Does the Nexus 10 have this problem?
[Networking] dcantato:
Is there anyway possible to either open up the XDA and change out the SD slot or some kind of other modification to change it to work as an SD I/O I would do anything to make this work. I want badly to do wifi with the xda and there is no way as of yet. Any clues?
[Networking] cruisin-thru:
Cant be done, its a hardware limitation.
[Networking] theecspec:
Can you just by the SanDisk WiFi SD card?

Or get the XDA IIi?
[Networking] cruisin-thru:
I think the sandisk wifi is sdio card so it wont work with xda.
[Networking] snorbaard:
cruisin-thru is right.

dcantato wants to modify the XDA's SD slot to allow him/her to use SDIO cards like the WiFi card.

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

Has anyone had problems with chargers not working? I have over ten different chargers but only one will work with my phone. When I 1st bout my phone I didn't have this problem. I'd there a special way I can calibrate my phone so it'll work with other chargers again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I've had this issue with some chargers, but not all. Some HTC chargers no longer charge my phone (or they charge very, very slowy) and none of my kindle chargers charge my phone. I mainly use Palm Pre chargers (those things are beasts!), as well as the one I got from Samsung, and they work fine. I think it has to do with the Amperage and Voltage output of the chargers. Have you compared the ones you're trying?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bddpolo:
I've had only one other work for me which I don't know what kind it was but I'm currently using the nokia usb charger. No car charger works nor does the original Sprint charger. Grrrrrr

Update: I cleaned out the usb port with a needle and I got 3 out of the 10 to work besides the 1 so I'm gonna go with that. Still no car charger to work but my 1 charger was on its last leg so I'm not complaining.............yet!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
You can try Compressed Air. The type that is used on keyboards. Just be very careful. Also not all Chargers are equal. The Specs vary, sometimes greatly. Also the thread HERE has some info, even though it is not for our exact device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
I have a Nexus 4.

To flash a kernel all I need to do is to go to recovery mode,

Install zip from sd card,

Choose zip from SD card,

Pick the kernel's zip file,

Press yes and reboot the system?

Don't I need to wipe anything like when flashing a new rom?

And should I flash the kernel and then the ROM and GApps,

Or flash the ROM and GApps and then flash the kernel?

If my device acts weird after I flashed the kernel,

And I did a nandroid backup before that (I backed up with a ROM and stock kernel),

After I restore it, will everything be like what it was before I flashed the kernel (Will I have to flash the ROM again?)

Thank you in advance guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Yes thats how you install a kernel. Some people say to wipe cache and dalvik after installing, but its up to you.

Flash rom, gapps, then kernel.

When you restore the nandroid it will restore everything, including the rom and kernel that were installed at the time of taking the backup.

So yes...if stuff starts acting up, and you restore your nandroid that you took while on stock rom/kernel it should fix the issues. You dont have to flash the rom again...its included in the nandroid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
What will be different if I'll wipe cache and dalvik or not?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Not 100% sure, but f you wipe them your dalvik will be rebuilt on the next boot, and your cache will also be rebuilt once the system actually boots.

Theres no harm in wiping them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you never have to wipe anything when flashing a kernel, nothing, regardless of what others say. the dalvik nor the cache have anything to do with kernels. its like taking a shower and washing your socks to put gas into your car.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
So my device will be OK if I'll wipe dalvik and cache before I flash a kernel, right?

When you flash a kernel, do you wipe anything?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your device will be ok wiping dalvik and cache, but there is no need to do it. there is never any need to wipe anything when flashing a kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
Do you wipe anything when you flash a kernel?

And does your kernel works OK without wiping?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, i dont. and it works great.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
OK. Thank you very much for the help :)

One last question, which kernel should I flash with PA?

FRANCO or TRINITY?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try both, they are both good kernels. i use trinity, but francisco makes a good kernel too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
And two last questions,

How do I update a ROM?

Should I delete the zip files of previous Roms and kernels and keep only what I'm using (let's say PA 3.60 and Trinity/Franco kernels)?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you want, keep the current rom/kernel and the previous. thats probably the smartest way, in case one is buggy. but, at least, keep a copy of the current rom/kernel in your storage at all times, itll save you headaches later.

when you update a rom, flash it in your custom recovery. flash the rom, gapps if needed, and the kernel, the reboot. if youre just updating, you dont have to wipe anything. but if you are flashing a new rom, you do have to wipe data/factory reset.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
OK

Thank you very much for the help :)

Will my ROM's settings be saved?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you are just updating, yes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPOA:
Can I use this and will it be OK (no bugs)?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
Always use your recovery to flash stuff its the safest way.

Thank you very much guys!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rashid11:
Miles from NYC, in Northern NJ, data connection keeps disappearing. Going into the setting/mobile network etc, toggling radio mode from LTE to the next lower settings and back recovers the data and 4G icon comes back on, only to disappear again minutes later. Signal strength through the roof, no issues with voice, only the data connection is affected.

it is really bad now to where I dont have a data connection most of the time. Wicked V2, the problem has surfaced early this week.

Called CS yesterday - was told to toggle some settings under mobile network ("Data roaming" and "access point" reset to default), it came back up, but now even that doesn't work - the only reliable way to get it back, for few mins, is to toggle LTE mode off and on.

Any advice ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shawn:
Probably just tower upgrades. Give it time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
So I am trying to figure out if I am missing a setting or if I can mod the SecPhone.apk to show the length of time you where on a call with some one? On the tmobile and verizon S3 if you go to logs and select a call it will show length of time under the time of day. On my note 2 and sprint S3 it does not show this info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
What ROM are you on?

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

You can go to Call Log Or Call Statistics.. Click on the phone call you're inquiring about.. And obtain this info... Just one click away from the Call Log. No digging really.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
stock 4.1.2 TW

when i go to phone and chose the logs tab and select a call in question it only shows the time of day not the length of the time on the call. I have attached a screen shot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I'm not on TW, but can you hold-click the call to see detailed information on it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Its showing 2 separate calls for displayed contact. Are you not able to click on those calls to bring up the info for each call?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
topherk no it does nothing

xxStarbucksxx clicking either one does nothing.

On the verizon and Tmobile Stock TW versions that same screen shows a time length under the time of day called.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Wow.. That's odd. And unfortunately I haven't used TW 4.1.2 in a while.. And even when I did I never checked my call logs. Sorry.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Go to phone dialer. Tap logs. Tap number you want to know about. Tap menu again. Then View Contact. There is a history tap, tap that.

I can suggest to try this 4 step process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
yeah I happened to wonder about how long I was on a call with someone a few days ago and couldn't find it. I have attached the tmobile version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
See if this works. All I did was Google. I can't confirm anything not being on TW.

Go to phone dialer. Tap logs. Tap number you want to know about. Tap menu again. Then View Contact. There is a history tap, tap that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
Yeah by default on the Note 2 version this is also disabled. I did find in the features.xml file how to turn that on at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
There's always SwypeDialer via the playstore. It seems a lot of people on Sprint stock have that issue. But you should be able to click or long press the call in question and it should bring up details.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
Thanks for the help. I would rather modify the stock to work the way I want it instead of installing another app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
If it's enabled in VZW phones and disabled in ours, I'd bet it's a Build.Prop line item. I don't have a copy of the VZW build.prop to compare, but if you can get your hands on one and compare it to ours, you might be able to find the line item that either enables or disables the call duration display.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dotNETProgrammer:
That does work. Stupidest way in the world to see basic info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbarth3:
Yeah that is why I wanted to see about getting it like the verizon or tmobile where it is easily display. I tried using the verizon secphone.apk and no go there. hopefully a Dev can point in the right direction. thanks for everyones input on this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamulli:
This past weekend my SGSII starting showing some new unknown launcher that was not allowing me to get to Go Launcher EX. I have Go Launcher set as the default however whatever this is will just randomly takeover. I can reboot and may then see Go Launcher, but this other thing eventually comes back. I'm running 4.1.2 and I've tried completely wiping the device and installing a new different ROM and manually installing each app from the play store and this thing keeps coming back. I can't figure out where it's coming from or what it is. I haven't installed any new apps.

When it's active hitting the menu button doesn't get me the phone menu it just gets me a very limited app menu. It only has a single home screen and no button to get to installed apps. I can get to the phone menu from the status pulldown, but I don't see any processes running that could cause this...at least nothing obvious to me. I've uninstalled Go Launcher and tried Nova, but it has the same issue. I attached an image in hopes someone would recognize it. I had to take a picture with a camera because I can't get screen shots to work when this is running.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Seems like a dock mode from what the image shows.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamulli:
THANK YOU. That seems to be it. I've searched all over and couldn't figure that out. I even did a Google Image search and found nothing. Now I just have to figure out why my phone keeps randomly going into dock mode.

Thanks again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Have you tried a hard reset. It might just be software bug. Don't hard reset if you're not on the stock rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gambiting:
Hi! I am having some problems with my brand new HTC One - I connected it to my 1080p monitor using an MHL -> HDMI adapter(one of the cheap ones from Amazon) and the resolution of the screen is locked at 640x480 60Hz. There is no option on the phone to change it.

I used to use the same adapter with my Galaxy Nexus before, and it would display 720p just fine - and since the HTC One has a full HD screen I expected to use Full HD resolution over MHL as well.

Is that possible? Has anyone done it personally?

Cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Doesn't quite work like that m8, the S3 had similar issues, I tried on different TV's and got different results, on my LG 47inch 3D TV i get 1080 at 30hz and on my panasonic viera 32inch 3D TV i get 720 @ 60hz. So not 100% as to why but try a different TV, you may get better results, I personally couldn't find a setting to alter it.

I've been holding off buying an MHL as there was latency issues causing delay on the S3, I didn't want to waste money and get my hopes up if it was going to be the same thing on the One.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilus:
I bought the MHL 5 pin adapter few days ago and returned it today because it was simply crap. The micro usb port did not work, however the sound/video did but the battery would get drained fast I could watch 1 full movie with about 30% battery left so I had to charge after that.

I ordered the HTC media link now and will try how that works, from what I have heard and seen it seems 10x better than the MHL adapter and it should since it costs quite a bit more than the MHL adapter
[HTC EVO 3D] posedatull:
Guys, I have a problem and I am in panic right now... My screen has suddenly gotten a black spot in the lower center of the screen. I have the knowledge and skills to change a phone screen, but I gotta ask first: i found a cdma screen for sale, new and cheap. Is it compatible with my gsm version?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rockin982:
Ok, let me start by saying I've been searching for the better part of today, and finding answers all over the place depending on how old they are or all kinds of assumptions.

Here's my situation: I have an unlocked AT&T Galaxy SIII i747). I'm running AOKP 4.2, but I'm willing to run something else if it helps me. I have a very temperamental data connection - sometimes it goes to 2G, many times nothing at all. VERY seldom does it see H+. 4G would be lovely, but I'm just trying to even get reliable 3.5G. I use a GV number as my "primary cell phone number" so a working data connection is essential even to be able to make outbound calls.

I live in NYC, which I'm pretty sure has been "refarmed" for 1900/2100 HSPA+. I've looked online for T-Mo APN settings, and have tried several - none seem to fix the problem.

Can anyone recommend what I should be looking at to fix the data issues? Do I need to reflash a different modem? Secret APN settings that only XDAer's know? Do a raindance on the 17th day under a full moon and pray to the moon gods?

Again forgive if this has been answered before, but there are about 9000 different responses to this question and things seem to be constantly changing, including the recent refarming of HSPA+ 1900 in my area. I'm just trying to get a phone that works reliably.

Any touchwiz software is highly dependent on the stock Samsung framework, for releasing a working touchwiz launcher for CM will require a lot of difficult modification of the framework file's(currently I don't think it's possible to mod CM framework to act like the touchwiz framework, but not sure though, the world is a crazy place anything can happen) , anyway I would like to see the S3 port for CM which you mentioned, which most probably could be another launcher which is heavily modded.

I am very impressed with that touchwiz pack it does seem like a valid port of the touchwiz framework with a few other touchwiz apps(even though I still have my doubts) i will give you simple instructions to try and replace the launcher with the required launcher file, first of all download this file, extract it and take out only the file named SecLauncher2.apk(in system/app folder), now extract your touchwiz pack and replace the SecLauncher2.apk(in its system/app folder), re-zip the extracted files(be careful not to zip the folder you extracted to, this new zip should look exactly like the previous one) make sure you have signature check disabled before flashing(only do this if you have signature verification failed error) flash the zip file, now you have successfully flashed the new stock launcher of JB xwlsn. Also since its a CM port it is possible that the touchwiz problem is due to small porting error's or incompatibilities.

Edit :be carefull with this procedure or just refer some guide on creating a flashable zip file and use the SecLauncher2.apk, there are other methods also like pushing via aroma file manager and correcting permissions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
Sure :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
Thanks for that, I will report within 10 hours as I have exams today. IIRC, the permissions for the launcher is RWRR right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Yes it's RWRR but if you're flashing, the updater - script file (inside the flashable zip) usually should contain the set_perm command which will correct the permissions. Otherwise you should be able to correct permissions from cwm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
Alright, so I have looked into the permissions for the Seclauncher2.apk and found out it was something along the lines of RWRXRX, but i did not need to change that. I have flashed the launcher along with the steps you provided and removing some useless XWLSN stuff like Nordic prefs(I did not even know why Samsung would do that)

The launcher does not even show up as an app in the apps, and I have cleared defaults for the launcher. not sure what is wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
I have done it without editing Nordic prefs and still the same thing
