[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dr.m0x:
Worth it for the screen alone. Only the blind can argue that it's not much of an improvement. It's considerably sharper to the point where you cannot see individual pixels at all, whereas last year's model looked kind of blurry. Aside from the resolution it's also a lot brighter. I can actually use this one under direct sunlight.

Screen on time is slightly worse but I believe is because of the brightness. Standby time seems at least as good, maybe even better.

S Note is better in some ways but worse in others. I like the fact your handwritten notes now index and are fully searchable.

Air command sucks, I want to use the pen button to activate my eraser. Action memo is a gimmick, I miss quick s notes.

Overall I could not go back.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bluecharge:
And only the blind won't notice the bad contast the sceen shows, especially with dark videos or pictueres, and aside from 90 degree viewangle. And only the blind wouldn't recognize that annoying light-grey instead of real black.

Only the unpretentious would be satisfied with a high resolution screen only good for reading books and browsing the internet, without the capability of high contrast video playback in a dark surrounding, even worse if viewed by more than one person.

Sorry, but the screen isn't as good as it should be.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dr.m0x:
Compared to the 2012 model, this is a comparison thread, it is light years ahead. I never said it was a perfect screen, only that it's better than last year's.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] omneity:
I'll take that as a compliment! I'm satisfied with the screen on mine :)

In fairness to Samsung I beleive this device was designed as much for data production as it was for data consumption such as video. To be honest, I don't think there's any device on the market at the moment that works exemplary as both an office-type input device and a video viewing device, there has to be some compromise to satisfy the two environments. I beleve Samsung have done a pretty good job with this tablet, as others have said, it's far better than the 2012 Note tablet. If you want a device to view videos on then sure a dedicated TV/video screen is better, if it's for more than one person to watch at the same time, then it's almost certainly better to watch a TV screen, I would certainly never consider a tablet to be anything more than a lesser choice if it was primarily for this purpose.

I think your expectations might be a little unrealistic, this is a neat little tablet that compares above that other big-brand tablet that is typically the choice of the pretentious. Samsung make tablets as much for doing stuff as they do for watching stuff, if that's unpretentious, then I'm more than happy to be part of that camp. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bluecharge:
Hey, that's another point of view - and I'm sure Samsung is very satisfied with that :)

Compared to what?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
This is a stupid comment. My dad's got the i pad air and I have the samsung 2014. The sharpness and colours are better than the i pad, it's not perfect no, the whites could be a bit better. But what more do u want? The screen is better than the ipad the "amazing retina" display
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bluecharge:
Well, simply use your own eyes, and you will see ;)

As shown with these measures, the note 2014 is just mediocre.

I will have a look at the Nexus 7, which obviously should provide almost the best display. So you prefere it and you wanted us to notice that ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
I've used most devices , nexus 7 is too small for most people
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] omneity:
Yes, a Nexus 7 will be ideal for more than one person to watch video on. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Barsky:
Now on my 3rd unit from Amazon, I would say definately Not worth upgrading. The screen may be a higher res, but the yellowish tint to it makes it look like crap. The continual bluetooth disconnect are super irritating too. And frankly, while I can get used to it, I frankly prefer the multi-windowing on the original to their new way of doing it.

Granted, right now I am in the midst of massive disappointment and irritating due to needing to return a 3rd one.

Damn Samsung getting me hooked on multi-windowing or I would just drop samsung altogether :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
I find whites are good. Also a lot of android stuff like play Store and notification bar isn't actually white

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

As in there not suppose to white
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Barsky:
Not all of them have the tint issue. But this one next to my original Note 10.1 simply looks horrible. The resolution increase isn't even noticed. :( Oh well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
I mean I know it's whites arnt as good as previous but Def shouldn't look horrible, what things did u notice most gave it the horrible tint?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] BarryH_GEG:
Now, now, you know that's not true. I lived with my N10.1-12 when my daily comparison was a N2. Even then the 147 PPI on a larger display was noticeable. Once I got a N3 the N10.1-12's life was doomed to be shortened. It sucks you're having so many issues. I have none of them and my N10.1-14's display is almost as cool as the AMOLED display on my N3. If Amazon's gotten a bad batch from the same production lot that might explain people's multiple exchanges. Try getting one from another reseller if you aren't already burnt out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dr.m0x:
Since the nexus 7 lacks an active digitizer, I'd say it can't even begin to compare to the note. To me it's a digital notebook which you can also watch movies and read e books on. Maybe my standards are too low but I accept that the perfect device doesn't exist. Having said that, the Note 2014 is the perfect device for me.

I will not take a minor improvement in display quality if it means losing the pen and multi window.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] EpicDom:
I've just come from the previous Galaxy Note 10.1 and just upgraded. My first experience wasn't great because my first unit was faulty but I got it replaced 2 days ago. So far I am enjoying it. Having a nicer screen resolution does make a change, and I feel the viewing angles see great although I've not used it outside yet due to lack of case. I personally like s note and scrapbook and I am to try and utilise it more for projects and carry less notebooks. I usually carry at least 3 separate notebooks in one bag so hopefully this will make my bag much lighter. I've also been impressed by the S pen as I feel it is more sensitive and I love the new pen design as it actually feels more natural to hold. The downside for me is that the stock browser no longer supports flash. I have found that Firefox works well with it after testing several browsers but it just makes things a bit more complicated rather than just loading up the stock browser straight away. I'm a bit bummed that Photoshop Touch doesn't come pre installed anymore as I already bought sketchbook pro and I'd rather not spend £6.99 for the app. I'm still getting to grips with the tablet but I think I'll be happy with it.

I've just received an update to android 4.2.2 with Sense 5 on my rooted HTC One SV (Vodafone Spain), and I'm not able to perform. After rebooting appears fastboot :

****TAMPERED***

***RELOCKED***

*** Security Warning ***

K2_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL

and the menu for bootloader.

What's wrong? Is there any way to solve?
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Security warning? Were you by any chance S-Off with any custom kernel, boot.img, custom hboot.img, etc???

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

You said CWM in your thread? Do you by any chance still have a custom recovery on your device?

I will have to look into this personally as I have never seen this 'security warning' before. I find it very interesting :)
[HTC One SV] oxhal:
re

Sorry, previously i've tried to perform upgrade, but CWM gives me an error reffered to access file and can't mount device, so i tried to install a boot.img from a backup. Then, the problem I exposed.

Thanks for your attention.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
You can't upgrade with cwm from an over the air update. You must have your stock recovery for it to work. You can't install a boot.img with S-On unless you flash it through fastboot command, and not with a custom recovery. You have to unlock your bootloader before you can do any of this. Then relock your bootloader after you flash your boot.img and stock recovery.img.
[HTC One SV] oxhal:
re

That's the question, I flashed boot.img and recovery img (from a backup) using fastboot command.

And there's more: I see the red text in bootloader after apply the OTA, so applied the info on "[MOD][4.1.2] Remove Red Text in HBoot/Bootloader (for k2u & k2ul) - S-Off only!" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2289357 with the same result as taking an aspirine. Then the same with

TUTORIAL: Remove *TAMPERED* & *RELOCKED* flag / HBoot w/o unlock_code.bin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541843 . Guess the result??

yes, the same: none. I'm getting amused trying to get my phone having 4.2.2 and sense 5 from 4.1.2 and 4+, but I will not having a brick (nice brick anyway, but useless).

Ahhh, I forget to tell you, after applying remove tampered, and rebooting to fastboot, the warning has dissapeared, but tampered and relocked remains. Is not funny ?

As you can guess, I'm not a guru in this matter. I wish it were MS-DOS , then there will be a chance.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
You CANNOT FLASH A CUSTOM HBOOT while you are S-On and with a locked bootloader. My tutorial which you posted requires that you are S-OFF which you are not. You are currently S-On. Had you read my instructions in that tutorial you would had seen that.

In addition, you currently have a CUSTOM recovery on your device with a LOCKED bootloader which was a huge mistake.

You HAVE to unlock your bootloader to fix your problems. Once you unlock your bootloader you will be fine. YOU CANNOT FLASH ANYTHING IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED.

1.) Unlock your bootloader with your unlock_code.bin file, then restore your phone with your backup. If you do not have your PERSONAL unlock_code.bin file then you need to head over to HTCDEV.com and follow their guide to receiving one which will be sent via email to you.

2.) Insure you do not have a custom hboot, custom boot, custom kernel, custom recovery installed on your device - if you do then RESTORE them with your stock IMG's.

3.) After you have unlocked your bootloader, restored your device with your backup, and insured you have no custom .imgs on your device...... THEN, AND ONLY THEN, will you relock your bootloader. After which you will be able to upgrade your phone.

:)
[HTC One SV] oxhal:
That's a help

. No problem with 1 and 3, but 2... I think it will be a little difficult. I've just no idea how to do this, specially how and where to get stock images.

You don't have any idea about how much patient and helpfull you are. Thanks very very much
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Pull the boot.img from your backup and copy it to your computer. Insure you name it boot.img.

Now go I into CWM and restore your device with your backup.

Now go into fastboot so you can flash your boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now go into your recovery to confirm if it is stocked or custom. If shown a black screen with triangle then you are back to stock recovery. Otherwise it will still be CWM. If still CWM you will need to go to the link I will be providing in the below post and find a recovery.img suited for your device and flash it just like I told you to do with your boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

At this point, I can only HOPE you do not have a CUSTOM HBOOT on your device but from the sounds of it you do not since you attempted that with a LOCKED bootloader which ultimately failed during its process.

So with that said, go ahead and relock your bootloader.

fastboot oem lock

Let's have some fun:

I did everything as you told me, everything. So assume there's a stock boot and a stock recovery. Also CWM dissapeared from recovery.

entering in fastboot after reboot I get the same message except ****security warning*****.

including S-ON !!!

Well, at this point, using again fastboot oem lock, the future brick says "device was already locked".

Is it not fun?.

Awesome, I'm really having fun while learning. I hope not to annoy you, in that case I promise to be more serious an read much much posts here and other forums before have any question.

I know it would be silly, but will try to install by itself the OTA. I find it could be interesting to see what will happend

I'll tell you

Ohhhh! , at this moment it seems to work, thanks .

If is there any thing I could do for you, tell me please, need some file from the ota or backup??

Hello,

Currently my work isn't allowing android, and have decided to ban it from now on - This kindda suck since I just bought a new Nexus 5.

I was wondering if I can download the stock Android Kitkat(4.4) e-mail source code, and just make the changes I need to the source code so that I can spoof my Device id + OS Version + EAS Version + Device Model and basically Mimic another phone? Should be simple enough, and since it's only for myself, I don't have to worry about the marketplace restrictions.

Workplace is using Exchange 2010.

I'd appreiciate any input very much - Seems the Exchange apk is the only thing that I need to change.

Hi. I have an I9505 from Orange Telecom in France. My issue is that when I restart my phone I get the custom OS warning message, but when I try to go past it by pressing the volume keys, it doesn't work.

I had gone to a service centre where they did God knows what and managed to get me to Firmware Upgrade error. Following that, I downloaded one of your T Mobile stock ROMs and flashed my phone. WiFi didn't work on it, so I found one from Orange France and reflashed it (note: with the T Mobile ROM the download mode worked perfectly).

Now that I'm back to the Orange ROM, unfortunately I'm back to the ****ty problem of restarting and getting to the custom os warning screen where pressing the keys doesn't work. I want to get back to an older ROM from Orange, because I think this is some flaw with their QC n this ROM, but I dunno how to because I can't reach Download mode!

Please help!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Are you rooted? If so, download terminal from the play store.

Typ this commando:

su

reboot download

Not sure if that's the right command, if that doesn't work try this one:

su

reboot bootloader

That should boot you into the download mode.

Or you could use an usb jig. I believe those still work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psudhir:
Thanks for this Lenny, but unfortunately I'm not rooted :(

Any other ideas to overcome this problem?

For the moment, I have to remove the battery for about half an hour or so to restart normally after I reach the custom OS warning.

First of all, I'm running CMW Recover 6.0.1.2 (Older version). How do I update it? I tried installing the CMW Recovery app from the PlayStore, but while setting up, it asks if I'm running version 2.x or 3.x... neither of which seems correct.

My other question is: How do I delete old recoveries. I have about 15 recoveries saved and don't need most of them. I used to have a folder on the internal SD card where they would be stored in folders, but now I can't find that folder anywhere... where are they being stored??

Thanks guys... I did a search but usually the answers are under forums for other models of phones, and I'm sure they don't pertain to the S3... thanks!

Depends on your launcher. Cyanogen mod's stock is called trebuchet and to change it go to settings/homescreen/grid size

Download this file from the XDA FTP : MaUpgradeUtnoID

Extract the files of the ROM that you have to a folder, then copy the above file to the same directory then run the noID file TWICE

Twice because normally the 1st time will give a country ID error, then run it right after again, this should work

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] winapp2:
Hiya!

For the next 13 days I have 2 Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4s because I recently broke the first one's screen and filed for an insurance replacement. My gripe with the replacement is that it came with the locked ME7 bootloader, whereas my other one is still happily on MDK.

I have all of the tools to completely disassemble a phone (including the uv gun and glue). Do you folks think it's feasible to take the chipset out of my old one and put it in the new one?

The only reason I didn't just replace the screen myself was because I've never done it and didn't want to mess up the digitizer, but i am unsure of whether or not you have to remove the screen to take out the components (you likely do if my experience with other phones means anything)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travisjshepherd:
if they are the same color, why not just pull the back off the one with the broken screen (with the board and everything), and hoook up the front of the good screen to it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] winapp2:
Does that include the exterior casing? It was bent somewhat badly and I'm unsure as to whether or not it'd fit a screen without first reshaping it (part of the reason I didn't just replace the screen myself as well)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travisjshepherd:
ah, yeah im not sure about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] winapp2:
Do we know if the chipset is bound to the exterior casing in some way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
It shouldn't be. I've never taken a Samsung device apart but every htc phone I took apart was separate from the shell
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] winapp2:
took a look at a teardown and it seems like you can swap the motherboards with (relative) ease and without removing the screen. Neat, I may try it this week.

I work primarily with computers and I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work. I would equate it to swapping computer cases but carrying the components over, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Correct but sometimes as they make improvements to the device over time, components do change. I had an old evo 4g that had a few different hardware revisions and the ribbon cables were different on the digitizers. this device is still fairly new though so you may not have that issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] winapp2:
Here's hoping to compatible insides!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Black6spdZ:
absolutely doable, I swapped my MDK mainboard from a white S4 over to a black one with an ME7 board, then sold the white one with the ME7 mainboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
+1 to this. I have done it as well. Bought an ebay S4 with MDK and swapped the Mobo (as the exterior wasn't that great) into my black mist phone, put the ME7 board into the ebay phone and sold that one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Polymira:
If you filed for an insurance replacement, your old phone likely now has a blocked ESN and won't be able to work on Verizons network now.

So if you do the swap, you'll have a working phone, that you can't use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] winapp2:
It worked, though I forgot to plug the headphone jack back in and the motor I think is sitting incorrectly because vibration feels weak and like it "skips"

Either way, I got what I wanted. I'll have to open it again to fix the motor and the jack but at least I got my MDK board in the new phone :)

Should it be fine to update for now or should I just hold off till I have time to SuperCID, s-off, and the whole shebang?

Also, was the whole issue with the HTC DNA that it was on Verizon and they're the ones that blocked development?
