[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] littleromeo:
Own a nexus 7 13, never had the problems. But, the gpad is a better choice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mi7chy:
Have owned both and the 2013 N7 is clearly much better than the 2012. Since the 4.4 release including 4.4.2 it's resolved all the touch issues including on ungrounded surface without touching with other hand. It's crazy to recommend the 2012 since it's inferior in a lot of ways such as display, DRAM, performance and it had touch issues too but don't know if it was ever resolved since I ended up selling mine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
Is it worth the upgrade? Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on which unit you get in your hands. I pre-ordered my first N7 (2013) and an hour after opening the box I had to take my silly ass down to Best Buy and exchange it. Vertical section in screen would not register a double tap and hold to move icons or folders. Major pain to return because it was rooted within minutes of opening the box! Oh well!

Second N7 (2013) has much better touch response but not as good I don't think as either one of my 2012 models. The 16GB 2012 N7 was pre-ordered also, then bought the 32GB version when they came out. The second N7 (2013) if you hold it in portrait and squeeze the left or right edges hard enough it will squeak but that might be what I get for falling asleep while reading and waking up on top of the damn thing. ;)

I really do have mixed feelings about the 2013 model. The screen, performance and battery life is absolutely outstanding, much better than the original version in my opinion and the original was nice, but the build quality can be and should be better. I liked the way the original felt in the hand better but the newer version is lighter so there's that.

LG Gpad GPE looks to have a screen that doesn't come close to the brightness level of the new N7 and over $100 more. Otherwise...

All that said, I would recommend the new version with the stipulation that you make sure the touch response is right and the case doesn't squeak too much along the edges. Don't hesitate to return or exchange it. As long as all that is good go for it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nevinconstantin:
Thanks for the great response, I have made my choice and i'm going to order the new N7 32GB.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 95Z28:
If you haven't ordered yet staples is still selling them for $50 off, I saw the 32GB for $229 yesterday. If you have any problems it would also be easier to exchange vs ordering online.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
I think nowadays most stores will let you buy online and do an exchange or return in a physical store. I'm positive Best Buy does. Also, most everybody has free shipping and possibly no sales tax, Except of course for Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] worzilla:
is there some problem with my galaxy gear as there is supposed to be debugging mode in the info menu there isnt at all just about with a list containing my rom info can anyone enlighten me to if this is faulty as ill send it back if it is
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] terrorblind:
Hi

Do this

Go to settings -> scroll to bottom and choose the info option -> about galaxy gear -> tap the software version 4-5 times and it will count down from 3 -> go one screen back and will have the debug option

it is the same thing, you have to do on the galaxy s4, to get the debug option :)

Hope this helps

-TB-
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richardmlea:
From settings select "gear info" and then "About gear" then press software version repeatedly until developer options are unlocked (you will get a notification). USB debug will now be available in the previous menu.

This is the same on all android roms after 4.2

[Google Chromecast] amancarlos:
The RealPlayer Cloud app is US only and I was hoping to use it (as i live outside US). Does the local video casting work outside US? Please, anyone in US, can leech an APK and post here.
[Google Chromecast] poisike:
Try this: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

You can get the app URL using Google search.
[Google Chromecast] admin856:
As a tip, you can create a US based google account and switch to same whenever you want to install US specific apps.
[Google Chromecast] Zammo76:
I used orbit when i installed the real player cloud app, otherwise it moans that the service isn't yet available in the UK.
[Google Chromecast] huuub:
Could you tell me what orbit is? I live in Belgium. I could install the app but when creating an account it complains about my region :(
[Google Chromecast] Zammo76:
Sorry that should have read Orbot (my spell checker changed it). Its basically an app that allows you to connect to a proxy. In order to use it download it run it go into settings and change the last exit node and enter:

{us}

This tricks the real player install into thinking you're in the US and should allow you to get it working. But to be honest as soon as I discovered Avia I gave up on real player. Real player at the time was only allowing you to cast stuff for a limited period of time, not sure if this is still the case? Oh and I think Orbot is pretty useless unless your rooted.
[Google Chromecast] huuub:
Well I rooted. I like AVIA, but it does not show subtitles :(
[Google Chromecast] HB_Mosh:
Then plex is the answer for you.
[Google Chromecast] huuub:
Well I rooted. I like AVIA, but it does not show subtitles :(

Thanks man I was able to use it now. However it seems subtitles are not possible either :s.

Are you able to use a player with chromecast that plays local video's and is able to display subtitles?

As for plex. It can't use my device as a server I think... (so playing local files on my phone)
[Google Chromecast] HB_Mosh:
I suppose it is not as convenient, but you can always download the content from your pc to cast it directly from your phone with Plex. But it is a different solution, i have all of my content stored on my pc, so i use my phone only as a remote. Hope Avia adds the function to play subtitles.

[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
I have a HTC Sensation 4g that i got and repaired and switched over to it from my inspire 4g. My inspire would hit 3g great where i am and beyond it at times. So i thought the Sensation 4g would be the same but so far all it will do is 2g for some reason. Have checked APN, making sure WCDMA preferred is set and nothing still 2g but can take my sim stick back in the inspire and bam 3g and more....Not really sure what is going on here...Have searched alot but have not found any real answers yet and hoping perhaps somebody here might know something...So far i have learned a great deal about the android system from here and hoping there is something that can be done. Really like the sensation so far except for the fact its only got a 2g connection...Thought it could be the sim card but then it would not work in my inspire then, so that is ruled out....also went as far as trying different roms thinking maybe different firmware maybe, but nope nothing so far at all. It is rooted and S-off if that matters. Currently has 3.32 firmware and unlocked. Currently running Revalation. If anymore information is needed let me know.....
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Update to 3.33 universal. You can find that on the first post if the help thread. Point 13 I think.

Otherwise, do an Ruu. I would recommend the above, as at the very least, you get the latest radios.

VERIFY MD5 BEFORE FLASHING. Make sure you have 70% or more battery. A wrong flash of 3.33 will get you a hard brick, but don't worry as long as you take above precautions.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
Alright thank you for the quick reply. Gonna get right on it will post back later today with a update...
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
So just got done flashing firmware 3.33 and will include a pic of bootloader. It was successful and it updated radio too...However still only gets 2g signal. So i guess now im gonna hunt for a RUU and see what that does....As a sidenote I did not reflash the revalation rom...I assumed i didn't need to...Please correct me if i am wrong....Just looked at the bootloader image i took...doesn't look like it has the latest radio gonna find it and flash it too(whoops). Will post update....
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:

go for ruu now and see how it goes

How odd...Even ran the RUU and it succeeded. Rebooted put in the APN settings and nothing. Still at 2g network. This doesn't make any sense to me at all.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
check the antenna which is responsible for network

lift them up gently if it is necessary
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
Alright will do that as soon as I get home from work and will post update. I just remembered something, this originally a T-Mobile phone but is unlocked to use on any network. Not sure if that is useful or not but more info the better to help resolve the problem
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
Got home a while ago and took it apart and checked all the connections and the antennas and everything seems ok...but still 2g...

Just out of curiosity...is there something perhaps in the buildprop possibly that I might be able to edit or something to make it see the 3g network... just thinking out loud... haven't touched anything in there yet.... just trying to figure something out.... really like this phone but not much use to me without data....
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
Did you try with using another carrier sim card ?
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
No, I dont have another carrier sim card...Have had net10 for several years and not anything different. Can put my sim card though in my inspire and 4g works fine so i am to believe it is not anything to do with the sim card itself. Have also put the same sim card in my ZTE 990 as well and 4g works too. I thought about buying a different plan on a different carrier to get a different sim but that could be in vain....
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
I have tried just about everything i can think of and for the life of me cannot figure out why this thing is stuck in 2g mode. I have ordered a new back panel for it and maybe that will help but im reluctant to think it will considering wifi and the 2g signal it does get is full bars.Unfortunately most of everyone i know is on the same service out here that i am so no way of trying a different carriers sim card.....Short of that being tried I can't think of anything to try....I am open for any ideas at this point.....
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
As a update...This is a T-Mobile Version of the Sensation therefore only uses 3g on a 1700 mhz band in which the cell company I am through does not broadcast on that band so this phone will never get 3g or anything else unless i change companies. Thank You Everyone for your help.
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Should have tried that other SIM card mate.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] slick97477:
Unfortunately buying and activating a sim card from another network just to see if it was gonna work was something i did not have money for...I have spoke with HTC and confirmed what i wrote in the other post about this being a T-Mobile phone and specific to certain bands...and unless the network i use has that specific band it will never work for 3g. Unless there is a way to reprogram the radio frequencies it is a limitation all T-mobile sensations have sadly....but I have found another company that runs on the bands this phone needs to run so will be switching to the new company next month.

Hi guys, I'm from Sydney Australia, I've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 4G 32GB SM-N9005 from kogan.com.au which they ship you a hong kong internation version according them.

Now I haven't came across an issue so far other than my mobile internet not working, whether its 3G/4G (btw my carrier is Vodafone Australia) so I decided maybe I need to do a firmware update so when plugged in my phone on the pc and updated via Kies3, however the problem still exists.

The thing I wanted to ask is whether its a common problem the mobile internet isn't working the current firmware or is it my carrier or is the device not compatible in my region.

Just want to know who to blame why it doesn't work, whether its Kogan, Samsung or Vodafone. lol

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
There are too many variables so you need to do more research.

Some carriers need a special subscription to activate 4G on a given SIM.

Some carriers have 4G on very specific frequencies, which are not supported on modems for other regions/carriers.

Some CSCs disable LTE when a certain type of SIM is inserted (and you don't see options for GSM/WCDMA/LTE or 2G/3G/4G somewhere in settings).

Some carriers also might have specific APNs that are not supported by the list inside the CSC - in that case you might need to enter the settings for APN manually (or use a CSC that has the right APNs).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcracks:
You need to call your carrier and ask for the correct APN settings..then your internet will work.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
No patch for it as it's not included with AOSP. Basic video calling never took off (well in the USA anyways) so it hasn't been an indemand feature. AT&T had it with certain phones but it was only 1 way in the early 3G days. I know Europe has/had phones that can do it just fine (Hell my Nokia N95 had it) but it's just not gonna happen on stock Android. People like Samsung added the feature in after the fact but you wont see that on a Nexus.

Samsung can add it because they feel it's needed but since smartphones are no the dominant device types it's safe to say that feature is no longer being utilized as much as back in the olden days (this is 2003 :p). Back then the only way to do these things was via the built in UMTS protocol but now that's outdated (can't update it because it then breaks the protocol) so now better methods are available that's the way it's expected for you to do it.

Not saying that having it included wouldn't be nice, i've never ever in my life needed/wanted it but for the people that do i'm sure it would be great. However as i said, i doubt that's something they will be trying to add when better options are available.
