[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nOrbX187:
Hi sal1311,

As John has mentioned, the C6806 is the best for US LTE coverage as it supports bands 4 and 17 (AT&T and T-Mobile) while C6833 supports band 4 (T-Mobile).

Also as mentioned, it depends on what your preference is. This phone is huge no matter which phone are coming from (unless you are coming from a Galaxy Mega or HTC's phablet) but I personally like the size. I wanted something that can combine the usefulness of the tablet but with a "phone-like" form factor. I came from a Galaxy Note 2 and 10.1 combo and I personally love the "DPI" settings on the UI, especially in Chrome and in emails. I found myself doing much more emails on my Z Ultra than I ever did on the Note 2 and 10.1 combined. Gaming is awesome and watching Netflix and videos are great as well. Plus, I've always liked Sony's UI in general as it is clean and simple. Samsung's is too cartoon-y though I cannot say about the Galaxy Note 3 as I have not played with one.

The only two downsides from my experiences are the battery life and the camera. Battery life can be short depending on what you do and the camera is not very good and does not have flash.

My suggestion would be to try it out at a Sony store (if you have one close by) or purchase it from a retailer that has no restocking fee and try it out. When I played with it at the store then went back to my Galaxy Note 2, I felt my Note 2 was tiny!

I went for black though I may change it for purple. Black is becoming too boring for me and the color white on phones reminds me of iPhone too much (my wife, sister, and mom have white iPhones). My VAIO Z is Indigo blue (basically purple inside) and I kind of like it though I'm guessing the Z Ultra's purple is going to stand out more.

Hope this helps.

New to me tablet and I'm new to rooting/etc.

Factory tablet on 4.1.1, build 10.4.2.20-20121228

I downloaded and ran the Asus unlock utility, then ran motochopper to root. I then loaded TWRP 2.2.2.0 (I realized the mistake later). Made stock backup using twrp ok. Wiped cache/dalvik/etc and tried to recover to CM.10.0.0. Boots to cyanogenmod logo and just sits and spins. I can reboot back into recovery and restore from backup ok.

I realize now that I've loaded an early version of twrp, would that affect the cm bootup? If so, how do I upgrade twrp? Or should I try CM10.1 exp using twrp 2.2.2.0?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
I can see you are on the 4.1 BL. I would suggest upgrading to the 4.2 bootloader and the using the most recent versions of TWRP and CM. You would do that by flashing the stock 4.2 Asus firmware, then the latest TWRP from their website with -42 and then the latest cyanogen mod ROM which is compatible with that bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbud123:
First off, thank you for the assistance. Here are the steps I believe I should take. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Download and install latest 4.2 bootloader from Asus= US_epad-10.6.1.27.5

2. Would I need to download and install the unlocker from Asus? = Unlock_v8 for 4.2JB

3. Download and install TWRP for 4.2= TWRP 2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2 blob

4. Then I should be able to run any of the CM 10.0.0 and up on the 4.2 bootloader, right?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Lots of ppl are having problems with the V8 unlocker. Since you are already on 4.1, you could just unlock now with the V7 tool.

1. Unlock with V7 tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949758)

2. Flash Latest Asus Stock (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949758)

3. Download and install TWRP for 4.2= TWRP 2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2 blob (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.blob)

4. Flash Latest CM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2413878)

Personally, I would also make NvFlash Backups so you can restore your tablet just in case anything bad happens. Link is in my sig
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbud123:
Ok, been reading until my eyes are bleeding.

From what I've read, Motochopper doesn't work for 10.6.1.27.x versions, so I would have to load 10.6.1.15.3. I should be able to download it and unzip it the first time on my pc. Then transfer it to the root directory of the tablet and run TWRP to install the .zip file. This would overwrite everything and bring it up to 4.2. I would then run the unlocker_v8 and install twrp for 4.2 using adb. If all that works, I should be rooted and unlocked and allowed to install CM 10 and above.

Please, anyone, check me on this. And thanks for the help.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Oh sorry, I thought you meant that it had failed to unlock and flash.

Flashing a stock ROM will not relock your bootloader. Asus doesn't want people relocking their bootloader .

I'm not sure why you are using motochopper if you are going to install a custom ROM anyways. Almost all custom ROMs have the SU binaries in them.

Once you have unlocked your tablet, you will never need to run another unlocker, so dont worry about v8. The NvFlash backups need you to be on the 10.6.x.x bootloader, so you would flash the stock ROM then do the nvflash procedure.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbud123:
Just so I'm clear, I should be able to flash the stock rom w/ the TWRP I have now, using the install command for the zip file, right?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
I'm not sure if you can flash the stock from the TWRP, to be safe I'd fastboot it from a computer. Once you flash the stock, it will upgrade the bootloader and erase TWRP. You would use the install command.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbud123:

Hey guys.

So I set up my device using these instructions.

Afterwards it shows that "Your DNS is setup correctly".

In the channel settings,

https://unlocator.com/account/channel-settings

I have Netflix and selected the location UK and updated the location and rebooted my tablet.

Neither the Netflix application or going to Netflix from either Firefox Beta or Google Chrome shows any changes.

Could someone please help me to understand what I'm missing on this?

Also, if needed, could a mod move my question to the appropriate forum?

Thanks. :)

P.S. For anyone wondering why I would like to do this, here are some movies that can be viewed using the UK version of Netflix:

National Treasure, Cowboys & Alien, The Hobbit, Seven Psychopaths, Lawless, Zombieland, The Help, The House Bunny, Dexter though Season 6, Wall-E, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Monty Python, The Waterboy, Shutter Island, Shawshank Redemption, 21, Seven Pounds, Saving Private Ryan, The Godfather, Defiance, Good Will Hunting, The Patriot, The Untouchables, the first 5 seasons of Rugrats, Avatar:The Last Airbender , Van Wilder, The Proposal....
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy the Wonderslug:
Nuts.

Sorry for the stupid question.

For some reason it just suddenly started working for me, even with the Netflix app.

This question can now burn for all I care. :)

Anyway, for those that have a US Netflix account, you seriously, seriously should look into this.

The UK selections are so much better than the choices we are offered here.

Following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507846&page=36 many people are saying pretty much every problem is solved given enough effort/luck, other than supposed graphical glitches. Does anybody have any further comments on how these glitches look, are they animated, common, annoying or are they easy to ignore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
If you browse through some of the 4.4 threads there are screenshots and videos. I think it would be very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carn1x:
Oh I was unable to find a video, I've seen the screenshots which on their own look fairly annoying for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommrazek01:
They don't occur in normal usage. They occur in screenshots, but that doesn't mean your screen looks like that - the glitches you see in the screenshots aren't really there. In fact, they are so minor these ROMs are usable as a daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDuffSmith:
I just Flashed A taste of kitkat and it killed my gps function. are you experiencing the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carn1x:
I haven't flashed yet, hence this thread, I was worried the graphical issues were too severe. However it still seems a number of people are having problems so I'll give it a few more days until the best installation routine is better known and documented. I can't really afford to lose Wifi or GPS and those seem a bit hit and miss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonehangman:
From my time using it, it only occurs when rotating and sometimes when locking the screen (But I haven't noticed it, so I'm not too sure). There isn't anything wrong with it under normal use and is only briefly seen when rotating. As much as it annoys me, it's a small price to pay to have kitkat. The only sever issue is a big black box covering the Google Search results which renders Google Search kinda obsolete :/

As for GPS I'm not experiencing anything abnormal except maybe a few meters off.

Wi-fi works fine too.

But do note that I'm not running Slimkat or A taste of Android, I'm using the Toro plus version but converted to Maguro. And IMO it works much better than the ones that were built for maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmas001:
That is the only thing that really is an issue for me with "A taste of KitKat". It's happening sometimes in the e-mail application too, and in AOSP browsers. Chrome is fine, thought.

So my guess is everything that the OS render from HTML (GNow, e-mails, browser) is broken with the anoying black box !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Torieth:
Hi, I'm a noob here at xda, but, I bought GNex due it's "always" up to date OS and now it's no more up to date.

I'd like very much to test this ROM, but, I can't figure out some things posted here. Can someone help me?

Can you tell the meaning of:

Gapps

To flash something

CMW

TWRP

Maguro

This full sentence "format system, factory reset, flash rom and gapps again"

I have rooted my Gnex, installed Google services, google search, camera, gallery, hangouts and launcher .apks from 4.4. I have replaced ligoogle_recognizer_jni.so, libfiltershow_filters.so, libjni_mosaic.so and liblightcycle.so files at /system/lib as told in this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506344

I'd like a walkthrough to install this version of 4.4, if possible. I have no clue of what to do after downloading the files^^

Well, tanks for any help I can get and thanks to Garak for spending his time to help us. I never thought it would happen so fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carn1x:
All that stuff as of 4.4 is now rendered by Chromium I think? I suppose this is what people complaining about Feedly being broken refers to as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmas001:
I said GNow but I meant GoogleSearch, GNow is fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Torieth:
I have some questions about the referred topic aswell. Do you think here is the best topic to ask or should I ask it in another topic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonehangman:
Not everything, I'm guessing only a few things? My app renders perfectly, but it could be because I'm not using the new WebView.

This probably isn't the best thread to ask this, but I'll go over it.

To flash something means to flash a zip through your Recovery (See below) which will directly modify your phone. So for example, if you want to flash a new boot animation, it'll 'install' that animation and 'apply' it.

CWM and TWRP are both recoveries, they allow you to do things like format certain partitions, wipe all user data, and flash zips (as mentioned above). They are pretty vital to doing this sort of thing.

Maguro is the codename for the international version of the Galaxy Nexus, the other code names are TORO and TORO PLUS which are the American variants (I'm not too sure about the TORO/TORO PLUS, but I'm fairly certain that this is correct).

format system, factory reset, flash rom and gapps again. From what I've said above, you should now be able to figure this out. Firstly, this is all done in recovery (Remember how I said it was vital?)

Format System format the System 'partition'

Factory Reset wipe all user data/return the phone back to a fresh state

Flash ROM obviously flash the rom

Flash GAPPS GAPPS stands for Google Apps which are the standard apps which come with most Android installs. I'm assuming it's a separate package to make the ROM size smaller and allow the users to use different system apps.

Hope this helped, but most of this information can be found by a few quick Google searches ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Torieth:
It helped a lot! Thank you!

Sorry for asking this kind of questions, they seem very basic given how often I read these words here. I already had an idea, but, before changing such things in my phone, I needed some straight answers. Thanks again! ^^

I don't want to abuse, but, are you aware of the topic "A taste of Kitkat" ? Which recovery is best to use to flash this ROM? CWM or TWRP? Both are mentioned several times, so, I'd like some directions, if possible.

So, I have to:

> Install a Recovery;

> Download the ROM zip file and Gapps;

> bootload into recovery mode;

> Format system;

> Factory reset;

> Flash the ROM zip file;

> Install Gapps.

Right?!

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonehangman:
Yep that seems about right! As for the best recovery, I personally recommend CWM. Also, don't forget to backup! Before you format go to backup/restore and do a backup. This will take your phone's current state save it, so if you ever stuff up, you can just restore it and your phone will be exactly how you backed it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hello, welcome!

Gapps

Google - apps. You need to flash them to get Play Store, and other google services.

flashing

Flashing a ROM means deleting your partitions and getting other software on it. Like deleting windows 7 and 'flashing' windows 8 on it.

CWM & TWRP

CWM ( ClockworkMod ) and TWRP ( Team Win Recovery Project ) are 'recovery's you can install them and use them to install ROM's , backup, format partitions etc.

maguro

Marguro is the codename for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM. so if you see 'maguro' you know they are talking about your device.

Just found a buyer on Swappa for my VZW Galaxy Note 3, which I loved, but am selling cause I no longer want to be a part of Verizon and because I don't want to wait 6 months hoping and praying that the Note 3 gets it's boot-loader unlocked and in the meantime only be able to use a Safe-Strap workaround, which they haven't even gotten fully working yet from what I read the other day. For me rooting, flashing roms/kernels/tweaks, etc etc, and messing around with other mods and themes, is half the point of owning a phone. And the note 3 let me down big time.

Anyways, the point is. T-mobile, either the S4, G2 or N4, and most likely this is just temp til the Nexus 5 is in stock for them (which was the final straw for me with Verizon, I want that phone so damn bad and they of course don't carry it) I keep wanting to get the nexus 4, just to mess around with, cause I've never owned a nexus device before cause I've been stuck with Verizon, and when the G-Nexus came out I wasn't eligible for upgrade. But the G2 seems pretty much to just be a slightly bigger Nexus 5, the S4 is a great phone, but I am tired of Samsung. But then again, at least I know I am getting quality. Last time i had an LG phone was the Revolution 4G and i hate that thing sooooo much.....

So yea, I know my reasons for liking each one, but I wanna know, down to the absolute nitty gritty, which one should I go with. Obviously Mods/Roms is a important factor for me, so is smooth performance when using the UI, Chrome, Games, etc etc, Camera needs to be decent enough for me not too look at it and wanna retake the picture every-time. I am not a pro-photographer, i am just a musician, but I do take pics of friends and shows, and all that good stuff. And yea. that's about it for main things i look for, there are a lot of other points i look at, but that should be enough to help you guys help me lol. What do you guys think.
