2 months using my xperia Z, still 100% like new. Not using any softjacket.

some scratch in back cover within weeks, and I removed the shatterproof, now looking sooo nice! glossy finish, and not-so fingerprint magnet.

And no scratch! I've tested with sharp tweezer.

For my front glass, I've use ordinary clear protective sheet.

Polyamide plastic (bezel) still like new, no dent/chips

Sorry for no photos and my bad english.

Hey guys!

So my Note 2's power button doesn't click anymore...you barely have to touch it, its very sensitive. I watched a video, and it doesn't look too bad to disassemble it and replace. Hopefully I don't F my phone up. I ordered a button off of eBay for like 4 bucks shipped. Has anyone here replaced them? Did everything go smoothly?

Hi

I don't have yet the new Nexus 7 but I'm waiting for it's availability to get one. My plan is to use it to view photos I do when I travel. For the Samsung Tab2 I have an USB kit to mount the card reader and so view/edit the photos. Is there something like that to the Nexus 7?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
I am planning to buy a Note 8.0 and was thinking that the device, although not as big as the Note 10.1, but still equipped with an S Pen must be an "ideal"(;)) device for running a chrooted Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, I have not read of anyone trying it out, and the device is not listed as supported on the LinuxOnAndroid web site.:(

However, as most of the components seem to be similar to those of the Note II or the Note 10.1, I was thinking that it must work on the Note 8.0 also.

Has any of you tried chrooting Ubuntu or an other Linux distribution on their Note 8.0 already? Curious to hear your impressions.:D:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mutonic:
I'am willing to do the same.. as I could see Linux port working with similar device as the Note 8.0.

I was thinking more about using a real linux installation (not through chroot) as it has been done on the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Even if both shares same hardware (Exynos 4412), I don't know if we can use same procedure as described in OpenSGN project.( not allowed to post link)

If I'm sure NOT* harming the device, I would like to give it a try:p
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
Working great!

Okay, I bought the Note 8 a few days ago, rooted and installed a chrooted Ubuntu using Complete Linux Installer (LinuxOnAndroid) already on day one. It's working great.

I have chosen the full Ubuntu 12.04 package, which already contains the Unity launcher, Libre Office and Gimp, to name only a few. I was curious to find out whether the Ubuntu Software Center was working and I could install additional apps, and indeed, everything worked as you would expect on a Desktop device. I installed Inkscape and now have a full-fledged office AND graphics editing suite on a mobile device, which is incredible. The only kind of bug that appeared was the constant appearance of an error message saying something about a system error, but I just clicked it away without any noticable consequences.

Without the S-Pen, the 8 inch screen would be a bit too small for all these little buttons, but with the S-Pen you can easily hit buttons and interact with the user interface nearly as easily as on a Desktop PC. Also, as the Note 8 has an USB OTG port that supports USB hubs, you could use the device as a full "Desktop PC" with mouse, keyboard and flash drives.

Moreover, Ubuntu does not even drain that much battery. I would have expected the device to get hot a little, but not even that happened.

I should note that everything was a bit slow due to the need to display the Ubuntu screen via a VNC viewer, but all in all it's really amazing what's possible on a mobile device.

Here are a few Screenshots:

Even Eclipse worked, but unfortunately, the Android Development Tools are not available for ARM.

The next step would be to natively run a full Linux distribution, but for my needs, the chrooted Ubuntu is enough.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mutonic:
Thanks for your impressions, screenshots look great.

I'm not sure I understand how chrooted works exactly. You said

Is it that we run ubuntu inside a sort of container in parrallel with android, and you need to VNC to it from android desktop to be able to display it?

If it is correct this should be slow indeed...

I would largely prefer native, or at least a port of ubuntu touch wich reuse android drivers but running on its own...

Here we have android system using power, + VNC slowing, not so good :eek:

But I may give a try, just to see it running..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
Yes, it runs as a native process under Android, you have to connect to localhost via a VNC client. I just recently started using a VNC client called Jump, that makes using the Ubuntu interface even faster and fully supports the S-Pen (Hovering, Press S-Pen button for right click - quite cool)

Interestingly enough, it seems that the VNC connection is not the only thing that makes the process slow. I tested VNCing into a remote Mac, and the display reaction was a bit faster than with the local Ubuntu.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mutonic:
Worth trying then, seems like linux has a good support for Wacom devices (I see it natively in Gnome Parameters)

For 3D accel (which I'm notably looking for);I guess VNC isn't adapted,

Regarding Ubuntu Touch, it is said to be easy to port when CM 10.1 is available for the device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
I rather doubt it's possible to use the S-Pen with the Wacom driver over VNC. I saw the entry in the settings, but clicking on it only led to an error message. Do you know whether the native Linux on the Note 10.1 supports the S-Pen via the Wacom drivers?

As far as I understood, you cannot use Ubuntu desktop programs on Ubuntu touch (yet), which renders it more or less useless for me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mutonic:
Seems like it is:

http://liliputing.com/2013/03/debia...-galaxy-note-10-1-with-pen-support-video.html

I didn't know Ubuntu Touch could not run common Linux programs....in that case it is less interesting indeed..

Would be cool to see this running on 8.0: http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-on-galaxy-note

I don't know how much modificiation there are to make it running on Note 8.0, both tablets (Note 10.1 & 8) share pretty much same hardware...

Regarding this dist; it has to be flashed with a special bootloader into recovery of the tablet, I would be tempted to load it with the 10.1 one just to see what happens... but don't have enough knowledge, to know what happens if recovery is messed up
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] wiljakson:
I too am thinking of buying a note 8 to root and install ubuntu onto. I am still learning a lot of things and wondered if you wouldn't mind giving a little more in-depth details on what you did to get it to work. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
Essentially, I just downloaded Complete Linux Installer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid) and followed the steps that are given in the app.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hany13:
WoooW

Is this linux fast enough on the note 8?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
This really depends on what you want to use it for.

It's fast enough for text processors like OpenOffice, even graphic programs like Gimp or Inkscape. It would not make sense to use it for games or watching videos though.

For install linux should download from linux installer or i can use linux image file downloaded from linux site?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FD_:
Although you could theoretically use any ARM linux image (as far as I understand the matter), I'd recommend using Complete Linux Installer as the guys behind the project (LinuxOnAndroid) offer and maintain many different images that were explicitly built to be run on Android devices.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jzmax22:
I'm walking to Verizon today 8/21/13 to get an s4. What are the chances I will get a phone that does not have the me7 update yet.

And if I do get one with mdk what steps do I take to not receive the updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blastagator:
Ask to see the box before you buy it. The firmware version is clearly labeled on the sticker on the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
It's very possible. just make sure you TELL them to NOT upgrade!

they don't have to, if you ask them not to, if they do, tell them go get another one that has old firmware as the new one is having issues..

then airplane mode back to house and root + recovery

profit

I think they MAY have still boxes of SG4 with MDK not updated, just make sure they KNOW you won't take it with the upgrade, I did it with the SG3, with the 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 rooting, as 4.1.1 was EZer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jzmax22:
Thank you guys for the responses. I feel more comfortable going there!

I'll be back later hopefully with my new rooted and rommed s4.

Again thanks for the quick responses and help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
I'm gonna post on this thread to ask a question since it's related and I don't want to start a new one.

I'm having sensor issues on my device and I called verizon. They said it wasn't a known issue and he and offered to send me a CLNR via overnight Shipping. I accepted their offer. I'm not sure if they are still shipping phones with MDK on them. The tech support guy said it will come with the update, but I'm not sure if he knows or not. My question is, has anyone received a CLNR thru Verizon tech support lately, like within the last week? And did it come with MDK or ME7?

If it has ME7 on it, I'm for sure gonna send it back. I'll make some excuse as to why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadsterflip:
50/50 . some got the mdk and some got the me7. Just hope for the best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
Well I really really hope it's MDK. Or else I'm gonna send it back. They'll prolly be pissed at me for it. I don't see any reason why they could deny me sending it back. In my experience if your just adamant about it they can't deny you. My device really is having some issues (not related to my rom) but I will live with it if it means keeping my ROM and recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] _Gir_:
5 days ago only 2 of the 10 S4's the guy at the Verizon kiosk had at my local mall were MDK. They're thinning out IMO.

What Andy and others said is spot on, ask for them to look, don't let them upgrade, and keep it in airplane mode until home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hendrix17:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AxAtAx:
If that salesperson wants to make a sale, I would have them go to the back and find a mdk version, it is on the outside of the box, if they bring you a me7, say, can you look for a mdk, if they refuse, bye bye, go to another store, you will find someone who cares to make a sale.

good luck sir...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
Just wondering, but why is it such a big deal if you get and MDK phone over a ME7 firmware phone? There is an exploit out now to root either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
For Android power users just being able to root doesn't quite cut it. Yeah you can do alot more than you could with just a stock phone but you can't flash custom software like roms or Kernels. Which is a big deal to alot of people. It's enough to not make you want a device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
I'm assuming there isn't a workaround for a custom recovery yet then, is that the issue? See I don't notice those problems because I've had my phone since before in-store devices were available and rooted it a few hours after it was out of the box so I've never had a hangup or issue with this.

Hello,

please, please I need help

for flash Alpine´s ROM. I tryied 4 different ROMs for flash my device and always detects "Error 120: Country ID Error".

Flashing by way of xda2nbftools with XOR codes of Alpines ROMs not worked - control checksum errors.

Regards
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] mrtdgn:
You should use an executable that does not check country ID. MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is the file you are looking for. Run your ROM upgrade program. At the point when you face the country ID error under a directory (sth like this: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Local Settings\Temp\A funny named directory) you will find 6 files. Before cancelling the upgrade copy them to another safe directory (after cancelling all will be deleted automatically) and cancel the upgrade. Replace HimUpgrade.exe with the file I attached in that safe directory. Put the alpine in bootloader mode and cradle it. Then run this file (MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe). First it will fail then in the second time it should work.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] HRomek:

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperi@z:
I am the proud new owner of an Xperia Tablet Z, coming from an awful iPad 1.

I bought the tablet outright, but didnt realise that it has been locked to the O2 network so I can't put any data sim in that I want.

Does anyone know how to remove the sim lock on this tab? My local O2 store where I bought it told me today that they can't/ wont do it, which I find pretty unfair, as I didnt get it on a contract on anything :(

I am also not happy about the ridiculous 02 splashscreen that greets me when I turn the tablet on. Looks bl00dy terrible,

Despite these issue I love the looks and performance from this beast.

Just hope I can address both issue with the help from you kind fellows! :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technaudio:
I would've thought it was obvious that if you buy from a network provider it's going to be locked to their network! Take it back to o2, then go next door to carphonewarehouse and but one from them, they're devices are always unlocked / unbranded.

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

But, before you do take it back, make an ftf of your firmware, just in case any other users might need it, there's a distinct lack of ftf's available for this device!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technaudio:
I guess that's the price you pay.... I would've thought that o2 would give you an unlock code seeing as you bought it without a contract?

You can get rid of the o2 splash screen by flashing a generic fw onto it, but, as I previously mentioned, make a backup of your current fw just in case...
