[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
But let say you call Google, give them all the phone info and ask them its stolen? Just wondering does Google actually blacklist the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1slow4G:
I see your point. Does Google offer insurance of that sort? Didn't pay attention when I ordered mine
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
Well I got the N4 so far its working great. Old user had T-Mo on it but clearly said he bought it from Google.

Afaik its working great got Slim running on it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
no idea but i think it would too much work for Google to do that and I highly doubt they would bother with it. Just pray the person doesnt report it. If so, be ready to move to another country to make it work ;).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1sagain:
Hey guys

I am aware of the Playstore app for the S4/NOTE3 lock screen effects

But is there any way to install it into /system so its more smooth and I can select it from my lock screen settings?

I am requesting for a flasheable S4 lockscreen (sunlight effect) to add on to my list of lock screen unlock effects

I like that sunlight effect, i simply didnt find the googleplay store app (as awesome as it is) to be smooth and stream lined on the phone.

I like things as stock as possible.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LemonPowerForce:
the sunlight effect is on the note by default, isn't it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1sagain:
Note 3 does not have sunlight effect in its Lock screen settings. The only Unlock effects I see is

Watercolour and RIPPLE

No Sunlight =(

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LemonPowerForce:
Should be there, next to the other two.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

Scratch that. I thought that ticking that option was what was causing the sunlight effect to appear.

It's not.

Setting a Live wallpaper seems to force the sunlight option.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vinotauro:
Apple today, as you may know by now, unveiled It's new tablet, the 'iPad Air'.

The price of it STARTS at $499 for the 16gb version while the Note 10.1 starts at $550 (or $499 if you buy from Amazon). However, the microSD slot makes up for it being able to insert additional memory if needed. With all this being said, I'm not a tablet-tech junkie but...doesn't the Note 10.1 have the superior hardware along with the stylus? I'm having trouble understanding some of the reviews because they dock points off the Note 10.1 due to the pricing while the iPad Air will receive accolades for it.

I don't own the Note 10.1 (yet) because I was waiting for the new iPad reveal (which was today) and also the upcoming Nexus 10 before I make a decision. What are your thoughts on this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
As a long time iPhone and iPad user (before recently switching back to Android with the Note 3 and 2014 Note 10.1), I can honestly say that there are four reasons Apple is still the better talked-about of the two:

1. Apple uses better materials (aluminum, glass, etc.)

2. The marriage of its software and hardware is seamless (very little to no lag or crashes)

3. The polished, superior quality of its apps (compare GoodNotes with ezPDF and you’ll see what I mean)

4. “Apple” is a status symbol, a declaration of success.

I went ahead and bought the Note 10.1 as soon as it came out, and with my 45-day return policy at Best Buy, I decided to pay close attention to the releases from Apple and Google, as you are doing.

As I used my 10.1 more and more, though, I decided that I most likely wouldn’t be swayed. The thing that most convinced me was the S-Pen along with LectureNotes. I write notes during meetings A LOT, and I have never experienced a more accurate and fluid experience as I have with this tablet. I tried about 20 different styli and about 50 different apps on the iPad, and nothing comes close to the diminutive S-Pen. It’s fantastic.

So today my wife is thrilled with the announcement of the iPad Air, but I’m just “meh”. I suspect it will be the same with the Nexus 10. Neither of those have the S-Pen, plain and simple.

If the iPad and/or Nexus 10 came out with a digitizer or ability to use the S-Pen to its full potential, then I’d have to take a second look.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ettepetje:
I think it depends on what you are using it for. The 2014 Note 10.1 is far superior for movie watching, drawing and note taking. The iPad (new or old) covers most everything else. Android gives you freedom as opposed to iOS higher quality (mostly) rigid solutions. If you have the money get one of each.

With the lower weight (and smaller size of the iPad mini 2) the remaining arguments to go for a Note are centered around the S-Pen, it's superior screen and (much more) freedom of (poorer) choice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] graffixnyc:
I note 10.1 has been the most productive tablet I've owned. And I've owned a ton. Even last year's model with its crappy screen resolution got more use than my nexus 10.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ChrisNee1988:
This point is apparently not so true anymore since theres many reports of ios7 not playing well with iPads
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] icebergisonfire:
Beats it in size

10.1 to 9.7

Beats it in ram

3GB to 1GB or 2GB

Beats it in resolution and PPI

2560x1600:299PPI to 2048 x 1536:264PPI

Beats it in camera

8MP; 2MP Rear to 5MP; 1.2MP Rear

A7 specs are dodgy to get a hold of but I'm sure the processor beats it as well.

People are sheeple. If you are going to put up money, you may as well get something that will last you. Very rarely have I purchased something that feels damn near futuristic in nature, like I've made a leap into the near future to use it. This tablet gave me that feeling and continues to do so.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ChrisNee1988:
A7 is dual core 1.3ghz, but its not all about the cores and ghz, they optimized it well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
The iOS app ecosystem is always considered by consumers and reviewers as part of the device. Mutually inclusive. This is the key reason for the perceptive advantage for the ipad.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] icebergisonfire:
I'd be the first to agree as there is synergy there and the developers can code to the specs rather than the crapshoot of Android devices. However, everything I throw at this tablet, it handles like a champ.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
The ipad mini with the high res display is going to be the premium tablet market share eater.

ios 7 works fine with the iPad, but needs all the bling turned off. Just like Android. I like the 2014, but still seems $50 too high for them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] icebergisonfire:
That's what I don't understand though. Android is no longer subservient to iOS. At the very least, it's on equal footing. There is more ram in our tablet, a faster processor, a bigger screen, a better front and rear camera, not to mention the $25 on Google Play and the $50 on the Samsung Store and it's only $50 more. In comparison to what their competitors are doing, we got a great deal from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] alias747:
Well I think the point is, we are not in the PC world. I think that specs are less and less important. That's why Apple doesn't even release most of their stats. Its all about optimization. I bought a 10.1 2014 from Best Buy to try out and so far my results have been both good and somewhat iffy. I have definitely seen some of the lag and stutter. I use my tablets for a lot of PDF reading and markup. This tablet doesn't seem to handle it very well. I think the issue is the super high resolution of the screen. I had the same problem with the Nexus 10 when I bought it earlier this year.

I love Android and I would never switch, but I do have to say that I get slightly jealous when I go to Best Buy and try out PDF handling on the iPad and it is butter smooth... Why can't we have that? I have used all sorts of programs to display PDF's on the various tablets I have had, ezPDF has been the best all around thus far but when zooming and turning pages it just starts to chug...

I plan to stick with the 2014 because it does so many other things really well. I just wish that Samsung and Google could get on a better road together where they optimize the crap out of Android to run better on hardware. I hate Touchwhiz with the rest of them, but if they did this there would be much less of an issue. Just a thought.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
This is really my only issue as well. I had high hopes for iAnnotate on Android, but it stinks.

ezPDF Pro is the best on Android (Mantano Premium gets good grades although I have yet to try it), but it's still not up to my standards.

The S-Pen, with LectureNotes, is hard to beat, though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] alias747:
Interesting, I haven't got around to trying Lecture Notes on the 2014, I tried it on my old 10.1 and it worked pretty good. I ended up really liking Papyus. However, that is another thing I am annoyed about on the 2014... Papyrus is UNUSABLE. There is so much lag when I write on the screen it is ridiculous. Not sure if Papyrus just needs to be updated to better work with the new hardware or what, but that was pretty disappointing.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] californiarailroader:
Who cares what Apple says? I don't. I mean, they come up to the podium with a holier than thou attitude, and act like they are some kind of God and you need to obey their gospel or you are a lesser person, I really can't stand their arrogance. Now, does Apple make good stuff? For the most part, yeah. Is it any better than anything else out there? No.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jkcarp94:
You have to remember that tech journalists and bloggers need something to write about. They need to draw people to their site in order to get advertising revenue.

The smartphone and tablet world is less and less about a direct comparison of specifications between devices and more and more about gravitating towards your preferred ecosystem. That is a personal choice.

In the Midwest it is not unusual to find people sitting around in a coffee shop seriously debating between the merits of a ford versus chevy pickup truck. I say, who cares? Drive the one that you like.

The same can be said about electronics. If you don't feed the controversy machine then there isn't a controversy. Buy the device that you like and to those that criticize you for your choice tell them to go pound sand.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
The iPad is a beautiful piece of tech, in particular the new one. But it's got the same shortcomings. Jailed ecosystem, no digitizer, and what really kills it, iTunes.

Once it's jailbroken, I MIGHT consider buying it, but that's only if my 10.1 starts crapping out like the Transformer Prime or something.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rushless:
Agreed on the iPad constraints, but think their app ecosystem is exponentially better for tablet apps.

I love my iPad 4 but also my Nook HD+ for game emulators, video and Flash content.

My favorite device though is my S4 :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
I think some reviewers want to be able to criticise android tablets and make them look like the cheap alternative to the iPad. But in fact there is not much to criticise. It has good hardware, it is unique because of it's stylus, it looks good and feels good. Samsung is the company that is actually being innovative!

And the price is really actually pretty good if you look at it as a productivity tool and not a way to chat in facebook or watch makeup tutorials on youtube. I ordered the wifi version for 510€ which is less than I paid for my Tab 7.7 2 years ago (530€).

It is another niche product from samsung and everyone I have spoken to who had the 2012 Note loves it for what it has been made for. It is not a mass consumer product, it's a productivity tool.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] holysheet:
I liked iPad Air very much. But it better suits for my wife, she likes to consume content on iPad. Yes you can type long texts, work with excel tables or else, but it doesnt give you that freedom. Typing on ipad screen is so 2009`ish. You can`t just switch to keyboard of your choice, you can`t use swype-style typing. Note 10.1 2014 is a TOOL, iPad is mostly a DEVICE FOR CONSUMING INFORMATION. You cant simply receive some autoCAD plans, mark down some issues and send them immidiately back. Whith S-pen u can. If you are musician, then ipad is for you, beacause of Android`s disability to handle music without any "input lag". I`m not sure how its properly called.

I`m w8ing for LTE version with snapdragon. With proper setup and debloating this device will be a produtivity BEAST for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Pedro2NR:
iPads are great devices. I had 3 generations of them until I got my Note 2. I loved my Note 2, I went ahead and got the Note 3. I felt I didn't need a tablet any more and sold my 3rd generation.

My wife missed having a tablet because she us still an IPhone user, I Introduced her to the 2014 Note 10.1.

She fell in love with the S-Pen, camera with flash, multi-window and being able to download files she needs for her bakery business.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
I've used both. Comparing an iPad to a Note with digitizer pen is like comparing a tricycle to a motorcycle. Gotta have the pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] boltor:
is this because the note has a wacom digitiser and the ipad doesn't? Given that the ipad has text recognition apps, what does the note have that makes it better?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ukbondraider:
What a silly post. So a note 3 phablet should not be compared against all other phones?

The pen function is what is needed for samsung to compete with the ipad just like the touch cover with the surface.

The Samsung Tab 3 for example doesn't even compare with an ipad in most peoples choices.

However the Note 10.1 2014 has too many key flaws namely its design and cost.

I would rather buy a basic BMW car as oppose to top of the range faster Ford.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jkcarp94:
If you have ever attempted to take notes on an iPad vs a tablet that has a digitizer, I think it is self-evident what the differences are. You simply cannot achieve the finite resolution that the digitizer gives you on ipad. For most people that is not a big deal but if your goal is to write or draw in a way that finite stroke detail is a big deal then an iPad is not really a good consideration for that application.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] boltor:
thanks, no, I have never used anything but an ipad (hence the interest). looking to get a 10.1 soon, so was interested in understanding the specific way in which 10.1 / digitiser worked better. thanks for the info.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
Agreed.

Using the iPad for notes is a non-starter. The tip of the stylus has to be as thick as a finger tip otherwise it doesn't register. So fine, accurate writing isn't really possible. It's like a kid using a crayon to write.

The Note 10.1 is like a night and day difference.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
Don't insult BMW. I drive a BMW and it's not Made in China. I've used iPad and there's nothing luxury about it except for the marketing for the gullible. Reality is it's a POS made from recycled aluminum shell, with core components from Samsung, obsolete specs like 1GB DRAM in 2013 (while everyone else is at least 2GB to 3GB) that closes apps in the background when you task switch, the Hasbro child iOS, etc. And, without a digitizer pen it's like trying to take notes or draw with the accuracy of a sausage.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] tenderidol:
I've always used Android tablets (my last one was Note 10.1) and my wife always preferred iPads (she has a Note 2, though). Comparing tablets (or any other tech) based on just the specs on paper isn't fair. Once in a while I use her iPad and the user experience is nothing different than the top of the line Android devices regardless of how much RAM, etc. it has.

Just to add one more point to this thread that seems to be overlooked by everyone: Apple has excellent customer support. I've had hell of a time to obtain warranty service (or the lack thereof) from Asus (for my son's Nexus 7) and from Samsung (for my old Tab 10.1), while my wife was given a brand new iPad2 when she walked into an Apple store and showed them the occasionally sticking home button. I can give many more examples from our previous MBPs, etc. In a home like ours with many different gadgets (e.g., DELL XPS desktop, iMac 27, MBA, Samsung Note 2, Note 10.1, Nexus 7, iPad 4, etc), you get to realize the level of difference in support and how much a given company cares about its customers after you make your initial purchase. I use Android devices for a reason, but the value of Apple's post-purchase support means a lot to many people.

Not to bust perception bubbles, but I used to be a senior component buyer for IBM and then their contract manufacturer group (way after they stopped selling computers). I still keep up with this field for supply chain knowledge.

Electronics in Asia is so intermingled and brokered, financed, managed, sub contracted, etc that the degrees of separation are minuscule- heck, they are 'microscule' (I made that word up to make a point).

Point being, if you throw a stone, it will probably also crack your 2014 as well and a BUNCH of other devices, and car components, TVs, computers, the shoes you may be wearing, cloths, phones, etc.

Apple is trying to appeal to a different market. Most of those people who buy iPads aren't as techy as we are. For the average person who wants to read some books, check email,browse the web etc it's fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] californiarailroader:
Yeah, to people who aren't educated enough to know when they're being ripped off ;) Apple makes good stuff, but is it worth the outrageous prices they want? I don't think so.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] msavic6:
Is it worth it to the couple million people here on XDA? No, but they have still sold 170 million iPads. Marketing will only get people to buy the first device, the experience will get them to buy the follow up devices.

Just think about it, if you are in Apple's shoes and you are selling iPads like crazy even though it is overpriced, why bother lowering your prices...? People are buying it so why cut your profits.

Google sells the nexus 7 for $250 but it still doesnt get the amount of sales it deserves even though it is physically a better value than the iPad.

You can scream "Overpriced" all you want but the iPad still sells like crazy while the "Underpriced" Nexus 7 sells pretty poorly in comparison.

Consumers treat the iOS app ecosystem as part of the device cost and that is how Apple wisely market it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jkcarp94:
I'm curious if you see Android being any different? I view that as an ecosystem also. Without a robust app offering, the hardware running Android is of little use to me. I've always thought of this coming down to a choice of ecosystems. Either you like the simplicity that the iOS walled garden provides you or you like the customization that the Android ecosystem allows. Or if you don't know enough to know the difference between those two choices then you simply listen to the sales person or decide which screen looks better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ChrisNee1988:
Apple has more tablet optimized apps and games, but most of the apps I use on a regular basis (except facebook) have android tablet apps too. Also samsung helps a lot by including their own apps and multiwindow making the experience much better even though 3rd party apps may not all be optimized yet.
