[Nook HD, HD+ General] king200:
The tablet is < 1 year old. It major for reason for being was a super reader with a optimum book size and screen display comparative to an iPad, the biggest seller. The Nook HD+ may have been close to the perfect eReader. Google Playstore and the quantity of apps weren't available. The cost was higher as introduced but in accordance with competitive tablets.

A few months ago, developers right here turned the HD+ (HD too) into a top of line tablet that can run the latest version or Android. B&N was ripped out. Hummingbird and Ovation became a better value when B&N reduced the price in June. I don't think that B&N realizes any value from the developments here. Certainly they're not encouraging the sale of books because the Nook Reader app remains not compatible in the Playstore... even though it runs without problem.

Look at the some of the things we're trying to fix. Amazon Kindle app, battery charging with not stock charger, geolocation via WiFi, keyboards, USB Drives, faulty? chips for FStrim, WiFi transfer, custom screen resolution, and whatever I've missed. Which of these items were even considered with the original design?

I don't think there will be a hardware package like this one for the $.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dealpapa1:
$99 :p
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kodochax:
Nah for those prices Id go for another tablet. I got the nook because i dont need a $300 tablet, the nook is great for its price ;)

- Note II
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pdx1138:
I would like standard USB as well and still have it slow charge over USB.

High speed charging isn't possible over USB (at least from what I've heard) which is

why the ipad has that big connector type as well.

There is a new Nook or set of Nooks due to be announced before December, now

that the new ceo of B&N has revoked the previous ceo's roadmap to do third party manufacturing.

It will be VERY interesting to see what the new specs will be and the prices.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] TeutonJon78:
FYI, you basically just described the new Kindle HDX.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] acam333:
Yeah but it doesn't have Google play. And I have had problems with kindle fires in the past so I don't know if I would buy one again.

Sent from a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away........
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
But less storage and no sd slot. Both are significant misses. That and the proprietary market thing. Most of us would not own the Nook if no Google market. I would not without the sd slot as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] TeutonJon78:
Yeah, but there will most likely be a CM build for it not too long after launch, which gives it full Android.

But I didn't know about the lack of SD, as I hadn't looked too closely at it yet. But I think they are making a 64 GB version.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] twe69:
I wouldn't mind if they kept the special cable tbh, as coming from my Nexus 7 v1 and a Samsung S3 both charged via micro-usb the connections have worn away and the cable can drop out easily.

Saying that if it was swapping for something else like wireless charging with the charge already in the box then I would go with that and micro-usb
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gmicalzoma:
Just a couple of changes for the perfect Nook HD+

I love my HD+ but would love to see some changes if BN does a tablet again for Christmas or licenses the brand to a third party like Google did with the Nexus and Asus.

1. A micro USB port for charging with OTA and MHL (HDMI out) enabled.

2. Use of an A15 chip like the Exynos 5420, 5410 Tegra 4, Snapdragon Krait 800, or one of the upcoming ones from other vendors like Renesas or even MediaTek. This will enable running Ubuntu 13 Tablet smoothly on it if we so desire. For those that don't know already Ubuntu have as a minimum requirement the use of at leaset a dual core A15 (not A9) chip to run their tablet OS and a quad core A15 to use the Ubuntu PC functions of the OS.

3. Other materials to make it lighter.

2. Maybe... just maybe a camera for Skype conference.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] MossyTC:
They'll need to include the following:

At least one half decent camera (not having this before was a painfully obvious error)

Dual band Wifi

micro-USB and HDMI

To compete with Amazon they'll also need to have specs that give as much or more bang-for-buck as the Kindle HDX, at a minimum

Resolution: 2400x1600

300ppi

Cpu: 2Ghz quad

Ram: 2GB

... and a couple of additional sensors would be nice (gyro, light)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
I was thinking more as a Nook design with the noted changes, but not sold by B&N as part of their proprietary market or crummy OS effort.

Similar hardware design from a non closed system.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] MossyTC:
If you're talking about them leaving out Google Play Store, I doubt they'll make that mistake again.

I can't see that changing. They might improve it, but I'd expect it to be basically more of the same.

Perhaps you meant that you'd prefer another company to take the Nook design and improve it?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
Yep, since Nook would still probably be locked down, or would have to be higher price to make money on units. Also the crummy UI would still exist.

If a company took the Nook HD+ and made these changes:

1. Standard 4.3 OS with not UI bolt-on.

2. Micro usb instead of proprietary

3. S600 or S800 chipset

4. 2GB ram

5. 32GB flash

I would pay $350 for that :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rchapoteau:
Just curious if I can keep my old batteries with the new phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
no. new note 3 are skinner and longer
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rchapoteau:
But are the batteries also longer and thinner?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
yes thats what i meant. the batteries themselves are skinner and longer
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bob_beringer:
The new Note 3 batteries have 4 pins, the older Note 2 only have 3 pins. Need to verify pin-outs before trying to interchange them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
I doubt it, different generations, typically they won't make a battery to fit in another unit. HTC was probably the closest with their batteries in the past but that's gone now since their phones are all uni body, another reason why I haven't bought another from them.

[Micromax A110] UnNaMeD__:

[Micromax A110] kajamkm:
Dont do it separately. I assume you are using Titanium backup root. While you restore, restore both APP+DATA at once. This will solve your problem i hope.

Hey everyone I want original nexus android interface on my grand so I tried holo launcher HD and apex launcher both are exactly same and good too but one thing is very irritating that non of them supports apps repositioning in app drawer like default Touchwiz do so anyone can add this features by modding any of them plzz??:) or there any other launcher similar to this with this function?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Parth2187:
Use Nova Launcher prime..

There are so many launchers. Which gives Nexus interface.

Adw

Nova

Apex

Holo etc

From galaxy grand 4.2.2 firmware..

Dont know about nexus interface anyways try go launcher
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] justmalhar:
Use Nova Launcher

Use Nova Launcher, there's a mode where you can choose sorting of apps in app drawer.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Suraj007:
Can u name which mode it will be easy for searching:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] justmalhar:
Something with drawer tabs. I don't remember it exactly, been a while since I've used Nova Launcher

Searched everything no mod available for that feature:(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
I'm not really sure what Nexus interface looks like but I'd recommend using Go Launcher Ex

It's a user friendly, very smooth and most importantly very customizable launcher

You can make it look like anything you want

with endless themes to choose from, along with making folder, sorting, hiding, custom arranging options. Not to mention screen scroll and transition animations.

Give it a shot, you won't regret it :)

Play store link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex

Possible Nexus theme you might like (again, I don't know how nexus interface looks like, I just liked this theme on first look :P) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...erexthemes.ultimatenexus7golauncherexprotheme

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
I'm struggling to understand why so many people here are so anal on the benchmark scores. Does it really matter? will a few points up or down help you decide on whether to purchase it? When you buy a new car, do you ask other owners for their BHP results to help you decide?

If you like the phone, then get it, don't let a bunch of figures help you decide...they mean nothing anyway...very few, if not any apps will require the full processing power of the note 3.

If you're going to root it and put on a custom rom, then don't even bother to ask someone for their benchmark results, as you know full well that any rom cooked will result in different scores.

I love this community and am all for android and the customisation that comes with it...but christ, some of you are annoying!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Why do they rate cars with horsepower and torque then? When speed is really figured by weight to power ratio? Why do they have mpg? Who cares about mpg? It all matters how you drive etc etc etc

Why test 1/4 mile, 0-60, 0-100, braking, slalom, top speed, fuel range, etc etc list goes on and on. people want to know what a car (phone) can do before they buy it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Because it's interesting.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
You mean it's penis envy then?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
I'm a woman, genius. :rolleyes:

No, I find benchmarks interesting because it's fascinating to see how far technology has come in such a short time.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
but, apart from just a number to compare with other numbers, do you actually know what they mean?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoneXDA:
Now that you got that off your chest, how about letting ppl. who know how to use benchmarks... do and use benchmarks?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
yes...because you can use benchmarks to your advantage.

neither of us are twelve anymore, admit it.....benchmarks are just a way to show you have penis envy.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lmike6453:
I thanked the OP while I understand both sides. I enjoy benchmarks while taking them with a grain of salt. They give you a round-about in direct comparison to other devices, while not translating to things that matter such as "frames per second within a game" or "amount of seconds to open an excel spreadsheet"
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
exactly....they're not accurate within 1000 points, so more than a few grains of salt are needed when looking at them.

It's nice to know your device is the best, however, it totally depends on how you use your phone. I add about 200+ apps to a device, which heavily affects the benchmark, so i never look at the initial scores.

it just annoys me at how anal some people are and how they take a score as a direct affect to their decision of purchase or wait.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vtjay:
Personally, because until I have the phone in my hand to see how it performs, they allow to get an idea of how it will perform by comparing to others... Once I have it, I couldn't care less... Just my .02
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoneXDA:
It seems you are lost at what benchmarking is for and can only think about is underage penis. XDA is a place for mobile gadget discussion, part of it is knowing the exact capabilities of said gadgets, and [MENTION=1662773]mods[/MENTION] will show you soon whether sexual fantasies are up to these standards.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ryland Johnson:
I find it a tad more odd that posters refer to a Penis and anus? Now THAT is odd:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
but even when the SG3 was announced, basic use was seen as ''lagless'', and the benchmarks were the best around....what's changed? apart from gaming, apps haven't changed that much to warrant such a fast device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
gadget?......you mean smartphone? there's not much info about gadgets here.....smart phones (and the newly added 'watch') are pretty the only gadget thing catered for here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kitsinni:
None of us are building phones like computers, so benchmarks on a fresh phone are not really anything to brag about. It is just something you go out and buy. I don't think the benchmark scores once you load a bunch of apps or a different ROM make much difference but if you knew what the benchmark of an out of the box S4 was and then compared it to and out of the box Note 3 that would give you a good idea what the difference between the phones is going to be. Other than benchmarks how would you suggest making the comparison? You can look at spec sheets till you are blue in the face but the benchmarks will give you a good idea how a device is going to perform.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Barff1984:
you don't quite understand Sigmund's work then, do you ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoneXDA:
The number of screen pixels changed, the amount of tolerable processing time changed, the number of actively running apps changed, the complexity of services changed, the pixels and bitrates of camera operations changed, the amount of data going through RAM, NAND, connections and cables changed... and you changed, you are now 29 and talking about 12yo penises to random ppl. on a tech site is extremely worrysome.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kitsinni:
Say you have two phones you are considering that cost the same amount of money, the question would be why wouldn't you care about benchmarks? Are you just buying the one you think has the better logo on it? Personally I would prefer my cash go to the device that I can get the most out of, not only now but 10 months from now. If you are one of those people who keeps a phone for 2 years the games available 2 years ago didn't even come close to taxing your phone the way the ones that are being released now do. I'm going to assume the same will be true in 2 years.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hairdewx:
From the condescending nature of your responses it appears that you have already made up your mind and are not open to discussion and other opinions.

I guess you're just better than people that like to look at benchmarks ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
I find it rather indicative of your mental capacities that you feel the need to pose that question to anyone who has been on XDA longer than a year. If we did not know what they meant, we would not care for them. :rolleyes:

People with an interest in technology are often enough interested in the barebone capabilities of that technology. It has nothing to do with everyday consumer use.

Perhaps everything in your life revolves around the size of one's phallus; we are not all interested in childish measurement comparisons. Go play with a ruler in the cupboard while the adults discuss technological advancement.
