[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
I've been running Slim 4.3 build2 for a few weeks now, and when connecting via BT to my car audio system, sometimes when I make or receive calls the sound is distorted or totally covered by noise.

This is usually followed up by DSP manager FC.

I'm using Googy kernel 1.7.7

Any suggestions how to fix this issue ?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] WranglerHuss:
Hello everyone.

Just skimmed through separate forums for Asus Nexus 7 2013 and LG Optimus G Pro on XDA. I had my eyes set on the Nexus 7 2 tablet considering its big, full HD display, awesome gaming performance and high end battery. However, upon reading about a number of software issues that new Google updates have incurred AND some talk about defective units here on XDA forums (apparently, many have been having serious hardware issues out of the box) I have been made to think twice about purchasing this. I also began thinking that messaging (only using thumb like on a smartphone) in landscape would be a bit of a hassle for such a big screen and the portability might well be an issue.

LG Optimus G Pro, on the other hand, seems to sport the exact same screen quality but a smaller size instead. Do you believe this phone is an excellent alternate to the tablet and that the 5.5 inch screen isn't a BIG difference compared to new Nexus 7's display (considering the screen estate isn't exactly 7 inch with that really thick bezel)? Is the battery better and is the gaming performance and other performance related areas equally excellent in your honest opinion? Finally, do you feel that the build quality is such that makes the phone slip in the hand and that home button feels cheap (as some reviewers say so)? If there are any known issues that I should be aware of, kindly do let me know.

Just so that it's out there, I am looking for a device that is anywhere between 5 and 7 inches, has a FullHD display, sturdy build quality, excellent, lag-free performance, 2GB RAM and really long lasting battery. My primary use with the phone would be to check email, FB, Twitter, read e-books and occasional gaming. I did consider SONY Xperia Z but it seems to have washed out colours and the screen and battery timing is easily trumped by that of LG Optimus G Pro.

So then, enlighten me folks. :)

If you are not going to use Calling features more, you can go for the Nexus 7!

Else get a Nexus 5... :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xdhall:
For videos, reading, or gaming, the difference between a 7" and a 5.5" diagonal is a lot more than you'd think. It's comparable to the difference between a 3x5 notecard and a mass market paperback.

For me, the N7 2013 is the perfect size. It's thin enough and light enough to easily hold in one hand and it easily fits in my inside jacket pocket

As to reliability, speed, etc, I've never seen the optimus pro, but my N7 is the best android device I've used.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mgerbasio:
The N7 will do what you need and more; I use mine for reading and the screen is great. I doubt a smaller screen would work for reading any length of time and the battery life in the smaller devices will suffer from the long screen on time.

The 7" screen is a perfect size as it fits in a pocket easy enough. Its built well; I keep mine in my back pocket frequently, same as with the original N7, and after sitting on it many times (not recommended) it hasn't given me a problem. It's a Nexus so its easy to root and unlock, you can load custom OS and receives OS upgrades quickly. with other devices you have to wait for the OS to be released, then hope the manufacturer is going to upgrade the device, then wait months to get it.

The only other one I'd consider is the Samsung Note with the S-Pen as that looks like it would be useful for taking notes on a job site.

I haven't seen the LG. I have the N5 made by LG and based on that I'd consider their other Android products.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kingston73:
This. You have to remember, it's the people having problems who are most likely to post those problems, people like me who have never had issues just use it and enjoy it. As for the difference in size, I have an s3 and while it's a great phone and easy to use 1 handed I will go to the 7 inch screen any time I have a chance. Much more user friendly, and if you like playing games there's no comparison at all between the 2 sizes, the bigger screen is just great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tgyberg:
I have the Galaxy Note 2 and the 2013 N7. The Nexus dwarfs the 5.5 inch note! I now only text with the Note, everything else is done with the Nexus. Build, display is just awesome! :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Death666Angel:
5.5" and 7" may sound like they are in a similar league, but they really aren't. The Nexus 7 is large enough to handle everything I want it to (minus excel spreadsheets :P), but small enough to travel everywhere with me. I still have my 4.7" Galaxy Nexus, but it looks like a dwarf. A Note 3 I compared it to was better, but that would be still too small for my usage now after having used the Nexus 7 so much.

As for the issues: what the other guys said. The people with problems are the loudest and there are no perfect devices. Make sure to buy from a seller that is known for handling returns well. That goes for everything above 100€ for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] t0kgrumps:
If you want something between a 5 and 7 inch device then,

For s pen functionality - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (5.7 inch)

For music and premiumness - HTC One Maxx (5.9 inch)

For the largest phablet in market - Sony Xperia Z Ultra (6.4)

If you want the most portable tablet for a reasonably good price get the N7 2013 of course :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] AarSyl:
I love sharing my opinions/experiences in these types of threads, but everyone else pretty much hit the nail right on the head.

N7.2 is recommended by myself, and pretty much everyone else in this thread. But to add my two cents, get a warranty if you have the money. I got a 2yr warranty on my 16gb from Radio Shack, and it covers EVERYTHING, just as long as the device can still be physically recognized as a N7.2. I ended up returning it after a few days for the 32gb version, because 16gb just isn't enough. And if you intend to playba lot of games, download videos/movies, or put music on it, get the 32gb. Trust me.

And the best thing about the warranty is that the device holds its FULL value for the 2yrs. So I can easily exchange it for a new device and still get the price that I paid deducted from the new device.

Ok. But, what I'm trying to get is a two way radio communicator using the most common frequencies. I think it doesn't exist. What do you think :?:
[General Accessories] Rudegar:
not sure about where you live but a product which could do this

using the radiostation fm frequencies would be highly illegal

here we can only transmit on those if one is officialy registered as a radiostation

if we are talking 2 way then as 2 radiostations of cause

another matter is everybody with a radio would be able to listen in on your "Walky talky"

transmitting use much much much more power the recieving

and i would doubt that much of a PA circut would fit in a SD card
[General Accessories] aperali:
Here, in Brazil, CB radios (not fm frequency) is allowed to communicate (2way) without any government permission. But, Im giving up to get this considering your comments about the incompatibility between hardwares.

Thank you!

for business i use a htc one s with custom rom and so i started looking for a custom rom for the defy. seems not so easy. i found a lot of roms but the more i found the more it confused me. at least i need this phone to be stable, not too slow and long running (=no bugs). cm7 seems to be perfect, ecxept the RIL bug.

any suggestions which rom i should take a look at?

Try one of quarx CM ROMs (10,10.1 or 10.2), or SlimROM.

If u need bluetooth, use CM 10 from quarx, because it's the only one that has working bluetooth from the JB ROM's (or any other CM10 quarx based ROM).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcarolo:
for me CM7 is the more stable and quick (WIUI GB is nice too)

CM10 works fine also, but a bit slower than GB

so if you don't really need android 4 go for CM7/WIUI GB, or the other CM7 based depending of your taste ! ;)

how to install samsung stock fonts to aokp firmware?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m@d:
Sent my phone back to Vodafone UK as the top of my screen was not responding to touch. They didn't repair it but sent me a replacement (refurbished phone). I picked this up in store and luckily noticed before I left the store that I could easily see the touch sensor dashes all over the screen.

I hadn't seen them on my old phone but had seen them on some cheaper phones in the past.

Was I right to return it, or is it normal to see them?

Would be good to hear if other people can see these dashes or not? As the demo phone they had in the store didn't have them which was why in the end they agreed to return it to the repair centre.

Hello All,

Is it possible for me to stream audio and video playing on my phone to a TV using RCA (AV) cables?

I have an unlimited dataplan and a Netflix account.

I have an older vehicle that has a DVD player in it for the kids in the back and it has RCA (Red, White and Yellow) input connecters and I was wondering if I could somehow connect my phone to it.

Is such a thing possible. I have found what I think is an HDMI Adapter. I have been searching and have not found an RCA version. Is there a way to stream the Audio and Video?

Thanks,

-NJ
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcspin:
Assuming the adapter you found works. You should be able to use it with the converter available in the link below and you should be all set. Let me know how it goes. FYI Do not get one of the cables available for $7 or $8 they will not work as the signal will not be converted to analog for your screen in the car. Let me know how it goes.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlyrick:
I've got a sim-free, unrooted Note 3 that I bought from Amazon.

When I move too many apps to the SD card and start the phone with the SD card in, the phone never finishes booting (it hangs at the blue pulsing SAMSUNG text).

When I take the card out (or put another one in), the phone boots fine. (Put the original one in again, phone refuses to boot.) I also put a second SD card in after moving a load of apps to SD, I restarted the phone and it got caught in a boot loop.

Apparently the problem is closely related to the .android_secure folder being bigger than a 1GB, so I'm testing this with a formatted SD card. I've moved a few apps to the SD card. For sh1ts and giggles I'm going to copy 1.5GB of data to the .android_secure folder and see if the phone reboots OK.

This clearly has been a huge issue previously, (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25563 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446961) but it seems that the complaints about it dried up over the last year or so.

Well looks like a rooted my nook itself and got a stock android os co mingling with the nook os which would be fine if everything worked as it should.

So I would like to unroot the NT and remove the Android os that is on it now and make the NT like it was before the root. ie keeping all files, books etc intact.

Just remove the rooting that co mingled the android os into the nook OS is all I'm after and trying to do. (although I really prefer this method over the dual boot. It's just missing so much of the actual android OS or the newer OS with all the bells and whistles anyway. I spent all evening trying to see what works and what doesn't. I can't even get google calendar from the play store on this thing as it is now. My fiancee needs a functioning calendar for her work so running it this way isn't going to work and will have to dual boot although the co mingled method works much better for her with using a mouth stick.
