[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] madgibbon:
The Note 8 is a fantastic tablet. While the specs of the new Nexus 7 look impressive for the price, I find 7 inch screens too small. For me 8 inch is the perfect size. Also I actually like TouchWiz and prefer it to stock Android which looks kind of dull.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] brecklundin:
I had a suspicion it was reading. I've been a longtime ebook guy so I know exactly what you are saying. Better fonts help some folks but not always.

As an aside for the N8. I set the system font to...ROSEMARY @ normal font size plus legibility set to ENHANCED and have been pleased. weirdly COOL JAZZ set to LARGE works for me as well. Those fonts are two I would never have considered because I am a pretty plain & boring Helvetica sorta guy but on the N8 they simply work for my eyes... who knew??

For me its the lighter weight fonts and smaller text where resolution becomes critical. Luckily for me there is something about the way Samsung seems to manage the color temperature of the backlight which helps me a great deal.

My Asus TF 700T (Transformer Infinity) has a lot higher PPI but I find I prefer the end result on my Note 8.0 over reading on the larger device. I will add I haven't put in any reading sessions ( literature not mags) > l-hr. on the N8. So how my eyes feel is still not fully determined.. I do use it all day long and several hours each night.

I have noticed we might have begun to see a return of importance of screen refresh rates. I suspect rhe IPS-type panels aredoing things to make them useless power but at the cost of eyestrain returning. d wish he trade rags had the stones to do real reviews like in the 80's & 90's but fear those days are long gone.

I still do most all my novel reading on my Kindle II.

Thanks for elaborating I'm sure it will help others trying decide which way to jump.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Rsmin:
I have had Asus transformer prime, Asus transformer infinity, Apple IPad, and Nexus 7. Hands down, this is the best most satisfying tablet I have ever owned. The s-pen just sent it over the top for me. I have had this for over a month now and wouldn't trade it. I think my tablet search is over. (Now, if you don't need the s-pen there are plenty of good choices out there.)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] raulg15:
Yeah my mom just got this tablet and she loves it. She wanted the ipad at first too lol
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TC93:
I bought the Nexus 7 to see what all the hype is about, but you are right, the 7 inch screen is too small. The tiny text might be sharper when viewed up close, but that doesn't help if the text is too tiny to read from a normal viewing distance.

The Note 8.0 has more saturated/vibrant colors. The only thing I don't likeabout the Note 8.0 is the short key typing freezesthat I am getting again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] yeahmon:
Once I had the Note 8 in hand, the N7 never saw the light of day again. My N7 is now residing in a new home somewhere in Oklahoma.

The difference is night and day.

Perfect as a learning tool

For the last semester I was stuck between my note 2 and ipad 3. I liked the size of the ipad for notes but no stylus could even come close to the ease of use that my Note 2 spen provided. The only problem I had with my note 2 is just to small to take the most effective notes, even though I got by just fine for a semester. If you want to view pdfs that screen size just doesn't cut it. For handwritten notes that ipad was just useless. I mean it took 2 weeks to get used to it, and it never got to a point where I thought it was any better then a pen and paper.

So when I saw the Note 8.0 on sale for 289 on Ebay via BuyDig.com I jumped on it in a heart beat knowing I could sell my ipad for more then that.

My note 8.0 is actually a little laggy compared to my note 2 even though I think they have the exact same processor(Future ROMs should fix this). However, that is irrelevant to me. The note 8.0 is perfect for viewing books and taking notes (Download Papyrus, that app is perfect with the Spen). It is an added bonus that I have the note 2 because I can use dropbox to always have my papyrus notes in the "cloud" so if I forget to take my Note 8 one day I can just pull up all my current papyrus notes on the Note 2 and get by just fine.

The note 8.0 has also been a great performer for me using remote desktop(Splashtop) around the house wifi or even from school to my home desktop. Its great to use all windows 8 gestures through my tablet so that I never even have to turn on my desktop monitor.(Ipad + Splashtop is still a little better but Note 8.0 is good enough)

This device is seriously a students ultimate tool. You can put all your books on it(granted there are electric versions of them), use multi-window to view slides and take notes at the same time, and of course that spen means that for taking notes there really is no market competition in terms of ease of use and accuracy.

If you just need a tablet for reading, playing games, and browsing the web, maybe the new nexus 7 is a better choice because you get stock android and a higher pixel density screen. But if you think there is any chance that you will utilize that spen then go Note 8.0 and don't look back.

Does your root get rid of the brief freezes?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Majin101:
Well no, just allpws u to install a custom rom like civs. His flex beam is close to stock still so it may have that freeze. But using his reflex it doesnt freeze anymore. I really hate that stutter. I was close to returning it but took the leap and rooted it.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Skeltergrave:
When I visit a site, (especially xda) with the new nexus 7 it keeps refreshing constantly, like it'll load the page up but after like 10sec it'll refresh the whole page I think it might be the ads causing it to do it but its just a guess.

I'm Using chrome.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] angry english:
Yup I think its to do with the ads on xda, I just downloaded the app from the play store, solved that issue, but it really needs to be fixed, I made a post about it yesterday, its extremely irrigating

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SpartanG01:
I have an LG P769 software version 20f (OTA) build JZO54K that I would love to put Cyanogen on. I have it on my p509 and I love it. My understanding is that I need to unlock the bootloader, flash a proper recovery image and then flash over the Cyanogen Rom. I did my P509 so I'm not a complete noob at this, it's been working just fine for almost 2 years however I've searched every where and I have a few questions.

Is it possible to unlock a stock 20f P769? (purchased the phone a week ago, updated it yesterday and it's 20f now. No idea what it was before that but it was brand new from Tmobile)

If it is, how do I do and what do I need?

Is Cyanogen 10.1 the newest of the Cyanogen ROMs I can use?

If I do successfully unlock it I can follow the CM 10.1 guide to get the rom and all that on there really I'm stuck now at Unlocking it. I tried the method in the now locked thread (before realizing people had found out it doesn't work)

Thanks in advance for any help, like I said I've looked in dozens of threads and can't seem to find a clear answer on the matter.

hi i have an xda original broken but the lcd screen works fine and an xda 2s with a broken screen i was going to fix it with htc but the price is quiet steep 120 pounds, i can fix the phone myself if i can get a screen but ofcourse i would loose my warrenty

any response will be appreciated

when a device is hard bricked(not even booting to the bootloader-completely dead)

then no tool can fix that situation nor any ruu.exe

You can also get "home2 shortcut" which will allow you to use double tap to open any app. I use it to make google now my voice search

you can also edit what the buttons do if you are rooted just edit /system/urs/keylayout/generic.kl AND /system/usr/keylayout/gpiokeys.kl to have the buttons be whatever you like the main buttons are 139 menu 158 back and 172 home. Make sure you dont erase the wake or wake_dropped if you want them to work like before. You can erase it if you want the home button to not wake up the phone.

You can also bring up the on screen keys like a tablet with one line to build.prop if you want. Just add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the end of build.prop and the on screen keys will appear on reboot

I suppose, it was his way to say "well, there are several threads in this forum about upgrading to 1.11. Please take a look at the search button".

If You are currently using radio 1.01, upgrading to 1.11 should be a major improvement. Wne I upgraded to 1.05 (or was it 1.06) it was a big step towards good sound (but I must admit that there is hardly a difference between 1.06 and 1.11 in terms of sound). Sound improvement will not depend on the installation of the other ROM-Files, the radio.nbf is enough.
