[G Pad 8.3 General] Zarrick19:
Apparently, US sucks :D *JOKE*

Here in Europe you can get your G Pad in 95% of all the electronics shops. Its really strange what's going on in the US...
[G Pad 8.3 General] marcolorenzo:
I don't know how well the tablet is selling worldwide but at the biggest electronics store here in Zurich, I think it's doing quite well with the Black version sold out and only a few white versions left. Of course, this could be due to low stock to begin with, I'm not sure. I really hope it does well because I just got mine and it's probably one of the best electronic gadgets I have ever bought.

I'm no stranger to Android (although I haven't spent a great deal of time on the latest hardware such as the HTC One, G2 or Galaxy S4) but I was always a little disappointed by the promise of "buttery smooth performance" from the Jellybean. I have a One X and also another tablet from Pipo running the RK3188 so it's no slouch but both are not what I would call a smooth experience (although my One X became a heck of a lot better after flashing Cyanogenmod). I originally came from iPhones and iPads so I was very disappointed in this regard.

Now with the G Pad, I finally know what "buttery smooth" feels like on an Android. The machine is just incredible with next to no interface lag at all and all the apps zip around without any effort. The Wi-Fi strength is also incredible, picking up my router from distances that my One X, iPad mini or iPhone 4S could never have.

For the sake of LG, I hope it really does well. They deserve it and will hopefully release more products like this in the future.
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
As you pointed out low stock could mean heavy selling or it could mean low stock. Considering the way it started off in the US, i.e., few retailers and high prices, I'm inclined to think that LG does not have a lot of capacity to manufacture the units. Currently, we're seeing more discounting in the US and few more options for retailers, but it is still not widely sold. Could be that the situation will get better as they produce more units.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AirDiamond:
Awesome tablet but I just returned mine to BestBuy. I've been burnt before buy buying a killer device that no one else bought. Software updates don't come and accessories don't fit. Very sad that LG made this ridiculous exclusive distribution deal.

I played with one at best buy in southern il today it was next to the lg g2. I think I'll love this thing it's the perfect size and seems fast. I figure I'll keep for at least a year maybe longer if no one comes out with a better 8 inch tab. Samsung's note screen sucks I also looked at it today.

[G Pad 8.3 General] RaiderWill:
Well Said Mark..

Even though they had no choice but to drop the price, still BestBuy does not even display it. :cool:

Well Said Woody.

Fast forward to the present and it's still the same.. BestBuy could care less about this Tablet.. a lot of sales reps still don't know about it and it's still to this day not on display..

And that's sad. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 General] opti1:
I have posted similar thoughts about lack of promotion and availability for this tablet in other forums. It's very strange to have such a product available only at one B&M retailer (BB), and one online store (Newegg), and as a GPE version. With that approach you would think LG would have dumped a bunch of money into promoting the G Pad at BB. I've seen enough complaints in the reviews at Newegg (and elsewhere for units purchased from Newegg) to think they were chosen to handle the returns, refurbished units, and otherwise 'unclean' units.

Having said that, our BB started displaying a black version and a white version G Pad a couple of weeks ago. Last week they price matched Newegg's $280 for the black version for me when they were selling theirs for $350. The sales rep I got knew all about the G Pad and started trying to sell me on it but I already knew everything I needed to know. :D

Now VerizonWireless has started to sell it as well, with LTE. That could be a breakthrough for this tablet, especially with the pricing model they have ($100 with a 2 year contract through tomorrow, $149 after that, and $300 with no contract). Those prices are pretty enticing, I think, especially compared to BB's $350 everyday price for the WiFi only model. It will be interesting to see what happens with this tablet now that VW is in the picture.

Another thought. I've wondered, especially since the GPE came out, if maybe the G Pad is a trial run for a Nexus 8 replacement for the Nexus 7 and maybe a new Nexus 10 as well that a lot of folks are waiting for. Google got a lot of heat for the issues many folks had with the Gen2 Nexus 7 built by ASUS. Maybe they are testing the waters with LG for their next generation Nexus tablets and they and LG aren't necessarily concerned about how much money they make from this one. Just a thought.

Hello, I have safestrap and I have it saying that it's installed, but when I reboot into recovery it just does the normal process. I've also tried booting directly into recovery, and it just reboots its self back into normal boot.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
It should show up everytime you do a normally reboot or power on your phone.

I have never used the power menu to reboot into recovery but I'm thinking that is what you are doing instead of just doing a normal reboot.

Guys i need help needed to remove bloatware...

As far i understand BLOATWARE are system apps...

I want to delete Sony Music etc, etc, etc...

I followed this thread to deodex and remove bloatware..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535429

DEODEX was successful.. The installation of DEBLOAT was also successful

However I dont know which is the right app or right method to remove BLOATWARE..

On google play i found this..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukemovement.bloatwarefreezer.free&hl=en

But that would just freeze that app...

I understand freezing is better than uninstalling !

And also I have already installed Greenify.. So is there a necessity now to uninstall BLOATWARE apps..

In apps menu if i select Uninstall, I get an option to delete only downloaded apps, I cannot uninstall system apps from there :(

Hi all,

I have an 8GB YP-G70. It's been rooted - when I first got it, I was going to use Titanium - but then my wife wanted it, so I gave it to her and forgot about it. Now she's got a new phone and I can't find the tools I used to root it or any of my notes, I must have erased the folder.

I know I bought it from Woot. If I recall, it was not actually a US version? Kies says it's got the latest firmware but I'm not sure it checks the firmware if the device is rooted.

It has the hard button for the home key.

I'd like to know what is the latest stock ROM I can use, I want the camera and everything else to work. Any help is appreciated.

It has:

Firmware version

2.2.2

Kernel version 2.6.32.9

se.infra@SEI-27 #1

Build number

FROYO.XXKD6

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoleDev:
Dear friends i need some help

My phone is getting heated unusually while i browse the internet, watching movies and also while charging the phone also.

1. I tried many of AOSP ROMs (CM 10.1 and 10.2,MIUI, Dirty Unicorns, PAC) but could not solve my problem.

2. So two days before i flash the stock firmwares and and installed ExsitenZ ROM (Rooted and i have unlocked boot loader) and be with it for a day (I watch a movie for 20 mints for a try and no unusual heating was observed and no heating observed while charging but could not test while browsing.)

3. So i thought my problem was over (And i really want AOSP ROM and I was in really hurry to install AOSP) and then today morning i flashed slim ROM, and i play a movie for 20 mints and no heating, but while i browse the web there is a minimal heating and now while charging the phone it overheat the phone.

I have set my CPU at 1.6 and use On demand governor in slim ROM.

I think i have done some stupid thing, in early days when i flashing stock based ROMs i always used to format my entire SD card (Internal). I format system, data, and SD card. Is this a problem with my phone by loosing some sort of a inbuilt thermal controlling application.

I have downloaded another TFT file and hope to flash this and use stock ROM as my daily OS, since this is the only option i have now.

Dear friend can someone be kindly explain what has gone wrong and possible solutions for the over heating issue. (I uses back cover in my phone)

I renamed PowerOn.ogg in system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg and added my own PowerOn.ogg and set permissions

it flat out ignored it and played the old sound file anyway. so I am guessing there is "another" set of sound files somewhere else and its not using the defaults in system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg

where might I find them?

OK I found it.

its the PowerOn.ogg in system/media/audio/ui/XAS

replace that one and your good to go Don't forget to set permissions.

PowerOff.ogg is just in system/media/audio/ui/

I am converting my sound files to 160kbps mono 44khz ogg and it seems to like that just fine.

I have attached the files if anyone wants to use them. it won't let me attach ogg files so I rar'd them up.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotkong:
Hey guys.

Tonight I rooted my phone with the hopes of everything going smooth, it didn't. It was a nightmare rooting the phone itself.

I was trying to install TWRP recovery through Goomanager but that didn't work so I did it through fast boot and terminal emulator with the commands.

After it was done I rebooted my phone and it just went to a black screen with the blue notification light. Then the phone turned off. I can't turn it on at all nor can I get it to go into download mode.

I recently just got this phone, one week ago to be exact, as an early Christmas present and I haven't really even been able to enjoy the phone because I've had the flu. I just now recovered from it and this happens.

I am in a insanely bad situation.

Is there anything at all I can do? Please help me...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (not even a bootloop), you're probably boned. Try leaving it charging overnight, try 'jumpstarting' the phone with just the charger/minus the battery (in one of the SGS2 sections, user KingRat detailed a method like this, do an advanced search of his username & you might find the thread).

They're about the only things I can think of to try & they're both very much longshots. From there, it might be JTAG'able or it might be a motherboard replacement; you're only going to find that out if you take to someone who does JTAG's & they try it.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stinger2300:
My Nexus 10 had two user accounts, mine and my wife's. I was the primary account.

I had a bunch of trouble with the Kit Kat OTA install (see my other thread) so I ended up using WUG's Toolkit to restore root and then did a nandroid backup as well as backing up data/media with the Toolkit. I tried to backup the apps with the Toolkit but it wouldn't work for a bulk or single app backup (would complete immediately and be a 0 kb file). I used Titanium Backup to backup all of the apps in my account.

At no point was I ever given an option to back up files for my wife's user account (I'm the main account, she's got a secondary user account). I tried to log into her account and do a Ti Backup but her account didn't have root. I tried to get root with the toolkit while logged into her account and it wouldn't work and didn't give me the impression that it was supposed to work on the secondary account so I assumed (hoped) that her account was included in the backups I already had.

So after all of this backing up, I flashed stock Kit Kat + Root with the toolkit. Everything is up and running properly but it appears I've got NO backup files for my wife's account (other than the Nandroid (maybe)but I'm not aware of any way to use that without screwing up my clean install of Kit Kat).

So my question is, what is the proper way to backup a device with multiple user accounts so it can be restored after a wipe? Also, if a Nandroid backup is done on a buggy/screwed up firmware upgrade, can the Nandroid still be used to restore the device after the firmware is flashed clean/working properly or will the Nandroid bring back the bugs it had before the wipe/install? If so, the Nandroid backup would include my wife's user account correct? Thanks.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planet_x69:
I would think a backup made from recovery would copy all data regardless of how many accounts you have and would restore it all just as it was.

Recovery/nandroid backups are account insensitive in that its a low level blanket backup of all data and settings.

Backup of a buggy system will result in buggy restore of system
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stinger2300:
Thanks, so if I restore using my Nandroid backup of the buggy system, the end result will be a buggy system again correct?

So the only option to backup multiple accounts on a buggy system and be able to restore it later and not end up with a buggy system would be to make a backup in custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planet_x69:
No recovery (custom or other) can make a clean backup out of a preexisting buggy system.

The important bits you really need is your data, the system will be your apps and kernel etc.

One can usually make a clean backup of the data, flash to stock, reload apps and flash data go about your business as if nothing had happened.

Once the system gets buggy and you have no backups, unless you know exactly what caused the bugs and know what to uninstall or what to install to patch/repair using adb or other, you will need to flash a clean system to restore.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stinger2300:
OK, I've got a clean install now, I'm just trying to figure out if I have any way to restore my data from the backups I have. Sounds like my data/media backup from the toolkit may do the trick.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stinger2300:
Regarding this statement, I've done the toolkit "Restore Data/Media" and it didn't bring back the second user account, nor did it restore game saves (Real Racing, TrialX2, etc.) in my account. In Titanium Backup, I have the option to "Restore All Apps With Data" or "Restore All System Data". I did the "all apps with data" option and it brought back my game saves but nothing in the second user account.

Here is the weird part though. Restoring app data from Titanium also restored the "buggy" issues. The home button no longer works, the second user account can't be accessed, the lock screen is gone, etc.

Any idea what app data would cause this?

Is there a fix other than flashing stock and starting over again?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planet_x69:
Toolkit or Titanium backups are NOT the same as nandroid backups.

The nandroid backup will backup all data regardless of how many accounts you have installed.

Titanium and other OS level tools are not account agnostic. TB though I believe has an account option but shouldnt be used as primary system backup tool. Always use your recovery based backup as your primary data recovery tool.
