[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
I should have said barely available at B&M stores. In my area, half the stores have a few units in the cage where nobody can see them. None of the stores have them on display.

I didn't see that the white unit was still showing up on Newegg, but apparently it is. The fact that they're raising the price going into Black Friday suggests to me that they are running out of inventory. None of this is good news.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

I just noticed that Newegg has now raised the price on the black one back up to $350, too.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ngoisaoconlai:
Yes, they did back to $349. I really want to buy this tablet, but there something telling me not to buy it, such as cases, battery life, updates...

The Smart Case advertise on their website is nowhere to be found nor any body know it will ever being sold. But it's a good tablet, I might want to wait until Christmas to see if the price goes down...
[G Pad 8.3 General] evilhunter101:
The HP Slate 8 pro with the tegra 4 is out now, 329.99. I'd consider it but I fear development, or lack thereof, will be the same as the gpad.

Off to do some research.
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
Hmm, I hadn't looked at this one before you mentioned it. Looks like it has 4:3 ratio (which some people prefer). One other issue is that it only has 1 Gb RAM which will probably affect the performance. Still might be worth a look.

With any luck, we'll start seeing some more 8" options in the coming months. Maybe some of them will make a better attempt to sell their devices than LG has.
[G Pad 8.3 General] evilhunter101:
The 4:3 is most likely a deal breaker for me. I've spent some time with an iPad mini and the aspect ratio just felt weird, probably because I haven't had a 4:3 ratio anything since the old computer monitors.

Regarding the RAM, some reviews I've read claim 1 GB and others claim 2, not sure why the discrepancy but it's a moot point after the screen ratio.

I'll probably just wait until the 8.3 goes on sale again somewhere. Hopefully there'll be another competitor in this screen size by that time.
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I might pick up a cheap substitute (Nexus 7, e.g.) and wait for a decent 8" device to come along. It might turn out the the problem with the G Pad is just production shortages. If that's the case, then they may lower the price and get them out to more retailers when they are able to produce enough devices. If that doesn't happen, I'll look for something else. I'm just not ready to buy a G Pad until there are enough people owning one to make a community.
[G Pad 8.3 General] rdcamero:
Just ordered one tonight.They had them on sale with a promo code for 50% off.Can't beat it for 174.99.Had a Note 8 and sold it.Got a ipad air.Missed having a Android tablet.Think I will return the Air now that I got the G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 General] cbb77:
Do share. Where did you get the 50% off promo?
[G Pad 8.3 General] clemson77on:
Just used it and it worked! Its "LUCKY26"
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
And what web site did you use this code on?
[G Pad 8.3 General] kenhunt:
Newegg
[G Pad 8.3 General] clemson77on:
Newegg
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
Wow, I thought this was a joke, but I used the code at Newegg and it worked! Where did this code come from?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Their twitter account. I checked it out and came here to see what kind of development there is for this. I currently have a Nexus 7 (2013) but for $174.99 the GPad is a very tempting match with my LG G2. Since there is little to no development though I think I will be passing.
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
At that price, I'm not too worried about the development issue. That's a great deal!
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
What the hell.

I can't get mad about that because who could have known but.. 50%?!

Damn.
[G Pad 8.3 General] nychotxxx:
great deal

Just got the 50% off deal. Will return the full price one i bought at bb. This is a steal. Ends at midnight west coast time.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
Just my luck. I just returned my LG to BB and bought a Note 8.0 then burned the rest of my cash on plane tickets for the holidays. (Insert expletives here)
[G Pad 8.3 General] mfpmax:
Just placed my order. As mentioned before I had never heard of this tablet, my friend is liking his G2, and the EVGA Tegra Note has a lower resolution, while the Asus Memo HD has the cheapest of "my" options, but is also inferior all around to the other two tablets.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ngoisaoconlai:
The Promo Code LUCKY26 is not working anymore.....in NEWEGG....DARN....
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
same issue here the promo ended.. this sucks
[G Pad 8.3 General] mfpmax:
Yup I would assume it ended sometime in the early AM. My order is marked as shipped. I guess they decided to screw with the ipad mini and nexus 7 sales.
[G Pad 8.3 General] cbb77:
Ok, not as good as Twitter deal but it's currently back on sale for $299 with free 2 day shipping.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834325004
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
The black version has an additional $20 promo code also, total $279. Use promo code 1127BF231.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I did this... better than nothing. Newegg rep is giving me another 20 dollar credit because I talked to them about missing the first promotion so it will be 260 :) 90 bucks off sounds great to me
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
Still a decent deal. I'd buy one but I can imagine the look I'll get when the kids only unwrap a can of pork n beans on Christmas morning.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ngoisaoconlai:
You guy think Best Buy will price match this? $279
[G Pad 8.3 General] myeyez:
Newegg has them on eBay for $259 shipped. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=291025822541
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
They claim they'll price match. Write down the web url of the device on Newegg and take it to your BB, all they can do is say no.
[G Pad 8.3 General] nychotxxx:
bb scum

Bb will do evetything in its power to NOT match a price and will come up with every conceivable excuse. Just bust balls.
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
Why oh why didn't I just wait? I mean, how could I have known?

I paid $350! I'm not upset though because this is the best Android tablet I've ever owned, but still.

You guys are lucky.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Just got my credit so I only paid 260 for mine from newegg. I'm too ready for this thong to arrive
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
I'm wondering how to trigger an extra credit... $279 ain't bad at all but $260 would be better!

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I started a chat complaining about missing the 175 event and she offered me 20 bucks off if I decide to order it. So I ordered it and when it shipped she credited me 20 bucks
[G Pad 8.3 General] rand33099:
New egg has them on EBay for 259.00 free shipping.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
I tried chatting with NewEgg and they wouldn't credit me anything. They DID offer a 5% off coupon, which would haev brought the cost down to $265 - I guess my Canadian charm isn't that hot on folk from Tennessee. eBay is just as good though!

[G Pad 8.3 General] sorin129:
Newegg

I just got a white one on Newegg for 279 but I wish I would've gotten that 50% off deal.

PS. I went to Best Buy to see if they match the price and they told me they don't match prices from Newegg
[G Pad 8.3 General] Lawlbringer:
Really tempted to return my iPad Mini w/Retina Display for this.

Mainly, the issue is price. I pad $508.99 for the Mini 32GB model, and this tablet would only set me back $280. Plus, the expandable storage on a non-Samsung tablet is nice. The new Nexus 7 dissapointed me to the point I god rid of it immediately. The biggest thing I miss from Android to Apple is the ability to side-load apps, and console emulators. :laugh:
[G Pad 8.3 General] craigels:
I have never been an apple person but I'm now considering the I pad mini over the LG g pad because of the issues with the blue line I wish there were more 8inch tablets the Samsung galaxy tab 3 8.0 is too dated along with the note 8.0 hardware wise
[G Pad 8.3 General] Jtblkice:
it is on best buys website that they do price match newegg.com. I would argue that if i was you
[G Pad 8.3 General] sorin129:
You are right, I just checked their website and its true they match Newegg but the girl at Best Buy the told me they don't. It doesn't matter now because they lost out. I bought it from Newegg
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
You do realize that most of us had to fight with BB to convice them they even sold the tablet, right?

Try yo keep in mind that these are the same people that told me that the reason Samsung named their tablet the Galaxy Note 8.0 was because it runs on Windows 8. Even better, during a brief conversation with an iPad expert over a WWII video on Youtube he thought Winston Churchill was a type of cigarette.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dodgebizkit:
As with phones, are there any downsides to rooting and custom romming the watch?

-----------------------------------------------------

Sent via my right hand, which somehow wasn't busy at the time...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragoncius:
I haven´t found any.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
to make it very simple, gear is useless if you are not planning to put custom rom on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lukasz:
Null ROM functionality is MUCH better than stock rom - much greater than the difference between stock phone ROM and custom phone ROM.

One (possible) drawback is that in case You need to return your GEAR for the warranty repair - Sammy may say "sorry this is not our system.. " and just cancel Your warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falgun:
Just got mine today so far upgraded the firmware. Will root and custom rom it eventually. My question is when rooted and running a custm rom what is battery life like. Better, same, worse. Just in general thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rayhodge02:
I thought you could just odin back to factory
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrnovanova:
I rooted mine and that's all I need. Got the latest firmware notifications are nice. Tried null rom but couldn't care less about Nova on my watch it kind of lost its simplistic appeal. I like gear manager. With root I managed to put keyboard and still, it's good for that sort of thing. So I say root no rom. Cheers! :D

Carried by a Raven
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dodgebizkit:
Can you do that and have it as stock and able to fully run as stock including OTA update?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Useless? I wouldn't follow this advice in the slightest if you are considering rooting. Yes, it surely improves the feature set of the Gear, but I have it non-rooted and love what it can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lukasz:
Sure - if the state of the fault allows You to revert to the stock ROM You will be OK - no problem with warranty...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] amsguitarist:
Quick question guys. For the Null rom, do you need to be rooted before installing the ROM? The instructions aren't very clear on if that is necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lukasz:
NO need to be rooted. Flashing ROM is enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
What total nonsense.....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Zeuserx:
Questions about Null ROM:

1 - Do you lose S voice? Cuz I like talking to it to send texts

2 - Do you lose notifications from phone apps? I need to have my outlook email notifications. This is a MUST!

3 - Do you lose some gear apps? I like feedly, evernote ,speedometer, tweet quickview

4 - Do you lose any synchronisation of calendar and contacts? Especially those from outlook. Again... this is a MUST!

I realize that overall the Null ROM is better, but I do have some MUST HAVES and a few I REALLY LIKE THIS, that I just don't want to lose. It's not very clear to me what stock Gear features are or can be lost if I switch to the Null rom.

Thanks

Can Framaroot be used with an Asus TF101 Transformer with OS 4.0.3?

I want to upgrade to OS 4.3.x.

Is this possible? If so, can someone please respond with details?

My contract has been over for a while now and im thinking about getting the htc one from verizon

What do you guys think ? Are there any better htc phones coming out that i should wait for ?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
The One is a good phone, although if I was going to get a new phone on Verizon today it would be the LG G2 without any hesitation, it is clearly the leading phone for hard core Android users right now stuck on Verizon. The HTC One would not disappoint though.

Also note that the HTC One Max just started being silently sold by Verizon today, it's a monster though.... 5.9" screen and 3300mAh battery will make it large and heavy, but if you really like HTC and can live with the $300 contract renewal price tag... well, your call I guess.

Are you really tied to Verizon? If not, consider the Nexus 5 and a GSM prepaid SIM... not only is it an amazing phone but it would save you up to $55 per month for comparable service over Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
I was thinking about the one max but the reason I want to get it is because some of the devs from here are switching over to the one and one of the devs from my thunderbolt days also has the one and ive always had an htc phone its what im used to really. I dont go for the aosp look I wouldnt stray from htc. Another reason is because ive never had any problems with there phones EVER with the thunderbolt I heard there were many issues of random reboots on sense but I never experienced any with the rezound it was overheating issues and mine hasent done that either.

I tried pageplus since ive heard that they use verizons towers but the reception was bad... I dont live in mesa AZ anymore I live out in the country in CA now and verizon is the only carrier that works out here.
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Wish that was true where I live... With anything other than Verizon you'll have crap signal if your not in your car on the main roads.
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
my Friend has a samsung s3 and his reception is always spotty ... Ive heard that since the antenna on htc phones is in the cover itself and that it gets better signal but others say that htc always exaggerate the signal you may have..
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Another part of the equation is do you currently have unlimited data and if so do you want to keep it...
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
I lost it when i upgraded to the incredible 2 a while ago ...
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Never had unlimited so that's not a problem. I also live half an hour out of town lol. No Verizon=no service.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaguitovera:
I can't seem to find a solution to the problem I am having and I spent 5 hours looking at many threads over many forums.

I was trying to restore my stock GPE in order to send to repair, but I accidentally wiped of everything and ended up with no OS installed. I tried then using fastboot/adb to install through recovery, (TWRP) I am able to use fastboot however adb will not see my device therefore I am not able to push any .zip to install GPE Android 4.3

Tried flashing stock.zip, but get the error "remote 12: signature verify fail", then I noticed that it is "S-On"

I am hopeless right now, but I know there is something that can be done or I am missing/screwing something.

Is there any other way in which I can restore my HTC One to GPE Android as initially shipped? I just need to fix this because I have a repair order going.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
In recovery you can see your sd card?

adb drivers are ok?

When the phone is in recovery the pc can detect it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaguitovera:
In recovery I do see /sdcard, however HTC One does not have sd card.

I tried downloading some drivers, maybe not the most up to date ones, do you have a link where I can download these?

I did not see if the PC could detect it while in recovery, I will check that and let you know.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Try to use this adb drivers.

However, let me know if, in device manager, you can see your one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
I have noted that CWM shows ADB drivers quickly than TWRP... perhaps try flashing CWM, adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard, and then flash TWRP if necessary, or just install using CWM..

This is ported from [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] and his amazing work! I have been personally porting his roms for my i777 for awhile and have been blown away with how much of a difference SaberMod and Linaro have made to the ROM. I have ported this rom with permission to share some 4.4 goodness with the rest of my fellow i777 users. I may keep porting future releases but have not decided yet.

First and foremost, I nor [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] are responsible for what you do to your device and YOU accept full responsibility if there are ANY issues.

IF there are any issues please don't blow up [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] 's threads looking for support because you will find none. Please just do some research first before posting an issue. Since this is an Alpha build, someone may have already posted a fix for an issue your having in one of the i9100 threads.

I have personally tested this rom out and everything seems to been in working order. I may have missed something though so please don't quote me. The one thing I have noticed is the Battery Percentage is not correct.

Rom: Build 11/23/2013

GApps: 20130813

Older Builds:

Build 11/20/2013

Instructions:

First make a nandroid backup (DUH)

Make sure you are on the newest CWM recovery. These easiest way i do this is flash the newest CM Nightly

Once you flash the newest CM Nightly, reboot recovery

Wipe Data/ Factory Reset

Wipe Cache/ Dalvic Cache

Format System

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

WIPE DATA/ FACTORY RESET (If you don't you will get stuck on CM Logo)

Enjoy :)
