[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
For methe only spec which gave me pause about price was the 16GB on-board storage, 32GB has become standard and considering that Samsung Bogart's about 6GB this N8 is only a 10 GB tablet. Even witbuthe card slot I had to tell myself it is only going to be used for realwork and PDA type tasks. Video & suchwilble streaming only save the occasional movie or audobook d/l.

Otherwise given the obvious effort developing the s-pen apps and its integration with the system that a ton of cash has been invested. And so far this is the first Android device I've owned that feels like apolished computing told not some basement-dwelled toy for watching porn while waiting for Dominoes to deliver.

Just that paltry 16GB of RAM leaves a bit of an bitter after-taste as it adds a mustbuy with original purchase cost of ~$25-$100US for a 32GB or 64GB card.

They did, however, give us 2GB of system RAM vs. the 1GB most other devices have. That That haste contribute to rte fairly smooth operation of the Note 8.0

I was Mr. Nexus for years, and thumbed my nose at anything that wasn't stock Android, but the GS4 and Note 8.0 made me see the error of my ways. Touchwiz has a lot of things that I would love to see Google implement into the stock Android UI.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Rsmin:
Couldn't agree with you more. Plus if someone doesn't like Touchwiz, use Nova Prime or one of the other numerous launchers. I also happen to like Touchwiz.

It's too late now. I'm addicted to Swyping with the S-pen. It's so fast! One two three four five six seven eight. That took about five seconds!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lyall29:
Now that I have been using the nexus 7 for 2 days, I am starting to want the note 8 again. Man I love the Spen for taking notes and for my work. I might have to go get the note 8 again. :D If only the note 8 had a better screen.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] qhinton:
I have had the OG Note and now got the Note 2. Still rocking the Note 10.1 had the Note 8.0 but traded it for Dell Latitude ST2 with Wacom digitizer. Im just talking as a business person The Dell gets 9 hours of battery and the note taking is second to none plus MS Office I can't lose. My opinion is the 8 is great but the hardware buttons are in the way.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Uh60m Pilot:
Very interesting observation. I did not even know that device existed. I read a few reviews on the device after your post. I agree the battery life looks great however the device lacks processing power and I HATE lag. I am not sure the devices are in the same category for size, however the ST2 is a nice option for the addition of Microsoft Office. More of a competitor to the Note 10.1.

Thanks for the post! I appreciate your point of view and glad you found a device that works perfect for you.

After using the device for work for a month I can add that Polaris office does a great job rendering image intensive word documents. The pictures are in the correct location. Additionally I am a fan of using exPDF reader for PDF files.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lolwatpear:
I have to say that I've actually be impressed by the speakers, and this is coming from someone with the htc one. I wasn't expecting much, but they're adequate enough for my needs (basically youtube). I would never listen to music or movies on any portable device's speaker, not matter what it is. It's far better than the S3 speaker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] werdna5354:
Can anyone help me out with this problem? Just updated my cm10.1 this morning and I'm no longer able to get 4g service where I usually do. Thought it was maybe on Sprint end but at work a coworker I'd able to get 4g service. Reflashed back to stock rooted touch wiz to see if that would solve the problem but unfortunately it didn't. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Beezer80:
If you return to s touchwiz ROM do you get 4g service?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
If your friend has a sprint LTE device and picks up LTE in the same spot you are at, your GS4 should be picking it up too. If not go to settings/more settings/mobile networks/ change network more to "CDMA/LTE" if it isn't on that already. Another thing to do is update your Prl and Profile then reboot. It should connect after taking these steps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] werdna5354:
Yes, went back to stock touch wiz and I do get 4g service again

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rinja:
so i flash a boot animation on my phone and i want to flash a new one but when i flash the new one the old boot animation still there how do i fix this without having to wipe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Manually place the desired boot ani where the old one is. Make sure you give desired boot ani the default file name.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cosmic Phoenix:
Yep do it manually. Use root explorer or ES file explorer to move the new one to system/media. Rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. Then rename the new one that you moved to bootanimation.zip and set the permissions to RW-R--R.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rinja:
Thank you both for your help it works =D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nikprelaj:
Did you use es file explorer cause it didn't work for me till some one on XDA advised me to use root explorer. Root explorer worke for great. I'm just curious.

not on this phone anymore but maybe try to get the normal android bootloader back and then flash twrp again and then try with odin or per recovery to install a firmware?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperKeeper:
I've been getting systematic breakdown of my device whereby processes and apps will suddenly for no reason on their own be forced to stopped unexpectedly. So for example Google Framework, gapps, acore, play store then apps will be unable to start and force close immediately e.g. swype, titanium backup etc etc. Now this has happened on many different ROMs e.g. DSC, Longhorn, PCM7, Mokee and now even on the AOPK CM9. So it isn't down to a particular ROM as they always flash fine and my device runs fine otherwise.

A complete data wipe and re-flashing of a ROM always restores the phone to "normal" but I fear my device is dying. Has this happened to anyone else?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
try installing different launcher...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperKeeper:
Really? Why should that make a difference? They mostly have different launchers though.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It doesn't.

Does it do this without any of your apps added?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjg_pigeon:
+1 sounds so familiar its spooky.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperKeeper:
Well it's very hard to say that because it generally progresses in how bad it gets. I've had ROMs working fine for a week or so before they give up the ghost. I'd be inclined to say it maybe a dodgy app but I've had a huge range of different apps because my knowledge and ability with Android has come on since I first started with custom ROMs.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperKeeper:
Bump.

After reboots, I lose data of all my apps so they're like they've just been installed, e.g. Whatsapp asking to verify my number etc. Also after a reboot none of my installed apps are in the launcher but in the settings they are listed under their process name (e.g. com.adobe.flashplayer) with a grey SD icon next to them. Multiple reboots and wiping of Dalvik haven't fixed this. So I really don't want to wipe data but looks like I will have to.

Furthermore, an app can be "restored" simply by re-installing it, the device says that I am replacing an already installed application.

This is a huge problem because the pins in the device's port are bent so I have to charge batteries externally.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I'd spend a little bit of time and attempt to straighten out those pins, as it will help. However, while I do believe wiping data at the very least is in order, I'd be more inclined to go with the full factory reset and start over.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruder.master:
Yeah always happen to me too..

Can you try to check via Recovery Mode and see if Cache partition is OK?

Because I always get that error if Cache partition (innersd5) crashed..

and to fix that I must disassemble DS and takeout the internal SD card and mount it to PC..

Then you can format the Cache partition to ext3 (the partition is small size around 230MB)

Hope this help you :)

An app called AR liberator made by a brilliant dev who is currently recovering from illness (get well Kyle) makes this one of the most useful pieces of tech I've ever played with.

So, again me being a dumb teenager i bricked my phone. AGAIN!!! :crying: :crying: :crying: So yeah can anyone help me :( i really dont want to ask my parents to return the phone for the cost of my warranty (and i have a flash counter of 2 so if noone helps me i am screwed) >_<

More info: I had Italian job on my jelly bean 4.1.2, my recovery isn't working, and my phone is not detected by odin ( i dunno why ), It all happened in me flashing a kernel trough terminal and my phone had the phone's model screen of death ;(((((

Please HELP !!!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angrybb:
Take out the battery, connect the phone to pc using usb cable, put the battery back. If pc detects phone as u8500 you have hard brick. If that is the case then jtag with riff or medusa box is only solution.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowcareful:
Don't worry about flash counter thats no problem because if hardbricked that you can't go in download mode or recovery or see start logo then they have to change mainboard and all data and falsh counter are away had it two times :D with flash counter and no problems
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angrybb:
Stop spreading this theory about changing main boards. Please, explain why would anybody change main board when it is cheaper just to jtag phone, if it is hard bricked? Seems lots of people here dont know the difference between hard and soft brick also.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rihis:
it doesn't even show up on my computer. ;((((
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monstro78:
is your battery charged???
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angrybb:
Have you tried taking out battery like i suggested? It is very unlikely that phone cant be detected that way. It is more likely that your battery is empty. Put it to charge a bit and than try again.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowcareful:
I send my phone in and they changed the mainboard so i though that's normal
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rihis:
My battery was charged when i connected it, otherwise it wouldn't even power on .... :/
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angrybb:
If battery was all the time in phone after the brick, it would drain out in few days. If screen is turned off that doesn't mean everything is off. But it seems like a hard brick, so jtag or "changing the mainbord" seems like only solution.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iksi:
Hello! Before posting, i search this forum but not found nothing understandable. I wont to modify .ftf file of sony xperia e single sim, edit some apps and repack in fleshable ftf again, but i have some problems. Ok i'm doo next:

1. Extract flashtool via winrar.

2. Copy system.sin to flashtool directory and extract with sin editor, and get 2 files system.ext4 and system.partinfo, but with flashtool only possible to extract yaffs2 files. 3. Here is big problem, i tryed menny softwares for opening ext4 images in windows, but only ext2 exploer can modify this files, but totaly inaccesible with screen readers like as jaws.

4. I found some tutoryals for mounting in linux but i can not understand linux commands as well, for example did i must know exactly syze of system partition to mount ext4 image, maby exist some gui program for linux from wich can mount end edit ext4 images?

Finally, does possible making flashable img or ftf file for sonny phones for custom roms? For example, easyer to me is flashing custom roms via fastboot, because in some situations for cm recovery i need sited assistance.

Thanks, and best regards.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
I have looked around to repack an extacted system.sin but never found how to do it. To dump the ext4 img just use ext2 explorer after it has finished extracting & loading click save in the toolbar and choose the folder where you want to save it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iksi:
hello! I can't found ext2 explorer, i only found ext2explore, but this software is totaly unusable for me, don't works with screen readers.

P. s. whats your problem when you try making system.sin?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
There's no tutorial on how to build one or a tool. Not for windows anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbrookley:
So, I noticed that my S4 had a new software update and I started to download it, then walked back to my desk to read what was in it and was surprised to find out that the new update would lock the bootloader (which I definitely don't want). As of now, I'm delaying INSTALLING it but because it was downloaded, it keeps bugging me to install it.

My question was am I still good to root my phone, even if it's been downloaded to my phone? Or is it likely the bootloader has already been locked and installing the update will just install the rest of the files? I assume now is probably the best time to root it (since I likely won't have the option down the road). I just wanted to check with you guys first. Let me know when you get the chance. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
You can still root it if the update wasn't installed. As long as it says your on mdk and not on me7 under "about phone" in the settings you should have no problem rooting. After rooting use a app like titanium backup or my backup pro to freeze sdm and fwupgrade....in system apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garrettsessions:
If it only downloaded, and you did not install it, then you are good to root. I would delete the update.zip file from the cache to be safe though.

I'm in the same boat. Nearly bought an 16gb off swappa for $110, but thought its best I just wait it out.

I played with the N7 and comparing it to my N4, I just wouldn't be happy with the performance the 1st gen N7 has.
[Nexus 7 General] dxwilliams40:
I have owned mine for a little over an hour. Got the 16 GB model at staples (in-store). With coupon code.
[Nexus 7 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I had to get a 32GB. I have a 16GB already but wanted more Space and a used 32GB still goes for ~$150-200 used. For a few bux more with code I get a NEW one. I got a buyer lined up for my 16GB so I recoup a little cost there. IF the rumors of the $300 price for the new N7 is true I think I'll keep the 1st Gen N7 until the 3rd Gen comes out. I still have a couple of Tegra games so having a non-Tegra device is a waste. I like to have options.
[Nexus 7 General] heat361:
I rma'd my 8gb just recently and Google sent me back a 16gb model which I will now sell to get the new nexus 7.
