[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordLugard:
Native hotspot ofcourse will work if you have a legit tethering plan, otherwise look for a ROM that has it baked in. Folks are having issues with WiFi Tether TrevEmod and 4.3 for now so until that's fixed or updated...one of the reasons i'm staying put on 4.1.2.

&& for anyone that suggests I flash something...

1) Yes, you need a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM to flash stuff.

2) Look in the Development sections.

3) Doesn't really matter, ODIN or recovery. Recovery is more convenient (download zip file to SD card or internal memory, boot into recovery and flash away), whereas ODIN requires the use of a computer, USB cable, drivers etc. (but then there's mobile ODIN...). Flashing in ODIN goes through the PDA section and usually requires a .tar file. The .tar file could be zipped up, so you'd have to unzip the file and place the .tar file in the PDA section.

You need to uninstall update to T-Mobile My Account app or uninstall it altogether.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Santorrr:
Hello, and first of all, sorry for being such a noob. I did try searching the forums but found nothing to match my situation.

I rooted my i9000 a while ago and installed a custom kernel with Odin. I'm not sure what that kernel was called, but it came with CWM recovery. Anyways, I then installed the newest CyanogenMod and after that the newest version as it came out. Everything was fine until I decided I wanted KitKat. I went onwards and flashed a new custom ROM, the Mackay ROM. It seems that Mackay came with it's own TWRP-based recovery and the Mackay Kernel. I tried flashing CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies with it but it just returned me to Mackay (factory reset, ofc). I've searched and searched but haven't found a noob-friendly guide on how I could get things the way they were.

So, my question here is that how could I get that old kernel and CWM back onto my phone? I haven't enjoyed using Mackay and want my CM back. My GT-i9505 is currently in repair due to a swollen battery and my trusty GT-i9000 is my daily driver right now, so I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance and sorry if a thread like this already exists.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
Recovery and kernel aren't always put together. Just find the recovery thread and read it's instructions. They can be flashed separately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Santorrr:
Thank you, but just to clarify, do you mean the TWRP or the CWM recovery thread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
If Mackay ROM doesn't use different formatting than FAT32 or rfs (be sure of that) you can unbrick your i9000 upon my guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444308

It goes step by step from flashing a stock rom with re-partition (PIT file), root, installing cwm recovery and then you can go further with CM installation.

If you've done nandroid backup of your CM you will can restore it as soon as you flash the same rom, kernel and cwm version like when you've created it.

Hiya!

I'm miffed!

I lost 2 of my 3 original styli in the space of 2 days - dam things!

I noticed first when I saw it lying near my Xda one time on my side table. Thought nothing of it. Then a couple days later I go to reach - and it's gone! I thought dam, must've not put it back in properly and got a spare out of my Xda goody bag.

1 Day later, I got to use it in the bank to add up some cheques - bloody gone again!

I'm using my last one now and have noticed it's not sitting in the compartment tightly at all, turn it upside down give it a little shake, woop, out it falls!

I think I'm going to use the 'sellotape' fix, anyone else know of anything else? - I don't fancy sticking blu tak down there!

annoying!

Dennis! West London UK!!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] hanmin:
First of all, I don't have the device.

Anyway, I noticed that most of the PDA stylus has a little groove near the tip (writing end). That's what is used for holding the stylus in. Since you are using new ones and keep loosing, it is not the stylus fault, probably the (latch?) thing that is holding onto that groove is 'weak'. So, I think if you were to have a tape circling the stylus just after the groove, it may help? Or try a few drops of superglue near the groove (MAKE SURE THEY ARE DRY FIRST BEFORE INSERTING IT BACK ON) to create a permanant 'hill' which the 'weak' latch can hold onto.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] symondavis:
Ahhyes I suffered the same fate! But not in a bank.

All I did was get my second stylus and very gently bend(tweak) it ever so slightly. This also makes it slide into the slot a little harder than normal but not lost my second one yet!

Just be very gentle on bending. I dont know how easy they are to snap cause I never took it that far.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] MaskedMarauder:
I just tweaked mine a bit as it was loose. You don't need much of a bend for it to work, you won't even notice it when your using the stylus.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] lsainsbury:
When you say "tweak" - do you mean the metal part or the dark grey part? When I bend the latter it feels like it's going to snap!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
I've had two 2is now, and I only have one stylus left.

At the moment it's in my phone, but I'll be putting it back into the white box the phone came in from O2 after I've written this, because I hardly ever use it anyway. I've experienced the same fate three times now, but I know where one of my styluses is - on my University's other campus, about 4 miles away from where I am... That's what happens when you go to someone's flat after a heavy night of drinking for MORE heavy drinking, and (of course) sharing round of the phone for everyone to drunkenly play Jawbreaker on.

I'm amazed I left with my phone, nevermind my stylus, I woke up at 6am nestled in a little cranny inbetween a street lamp and a wall :D Man that was a heavy night of drinking.

The other styli have just slipped out when I've been moving the phone from pocket to hand to pocket, even when I've bent them to stop them from slipping out they just fall out.

I was getting fed up with the middle of the screen becoming pushed in (and you get that rainbow effect as the inner and outer plastic layers of the screen stick together) so I brought a screen protector from Discount GPS Direct, and now I just mash the screen with my fingers. Also means I have a stylus left if I decide to sell my 2i on at a later date ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] axs3543:
Anyone know how to enable flash player on this tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just install it from xda. Search for latest version. It works in stock browser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
You can go directly to Adobe's site with THIS link. It will start the download of the latest version (11.1.115.81) and most likely the last for Android.

You must open your tablets settings and go to Security and select Unknown sources option. Then install the downloaded apk. It's your option if you want to return to settings and turn Unknown sources back off.

Can someone please tell me whats the difference beetwen this two roms

by the way now im using the .526 rom and want to flash the new [FTF][C6902][4.3] 14.2.A.0.290 - Generic TW but dont know if that will be a problem
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
Don't know the difference, but there is not going to be a problem flashing 4.3
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meni30:
I ended with a bricked device now ! in flashtool i just excluded the bootbundle and then the flash went good but phone is dead no light no vibration nothing works :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
You shouldn't exclude anything!

Anyway, connect your phone to a wall charger, after 5 minutes or so hold the VOL up + power button for till it vibrates (might take more than a minute) then keep it on charge for 1 or 2 hours

(DON'T TRY TO POWER IT ON)

then connect it to pc, hold VOL up and power, when it starts vibrating instantly release everything and hold the VOL down. If it connected in flashmode, try to flash 534 or older if you have the ftf.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
Ok, I think you should have updated to 534 before trying the android 4.3

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Just read this article. When do you expect the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 be available on sale? I am considering to buy the Galaxy 10.1 2014 this month but if the Pro will be available in two months, perhaps I should wait.

http://www.thenewstribe.com/2013/12/23/samsung-galaxy-note-pro-leaks-in-new-image/
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] golfinggino:
I am looking forward to this tablet as well will buy it as soon as it is out and then decide which note I will keep
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gmfeny:
As much as they sell the 10.1 for I'm thinking the 12.2 will cost more than any android tablet should ever sell for.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] scrabbles:
I'm sure it will be gorgeous, but at 12.2" aren't we moving into laptop territory? I think if I'm going to carry around something that big, it might has well have a real keyboard of sorts, like a 11" macbook air.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] icebergisonfire:
I thought I would want this, but using the 10.1 2014 edition, I can't possibly have anything else. It's the perfect size.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] swaggerjacker:
Yeah, you also have to wonder what the battery life will be like. I don't think I would gain anything from a 12" tablet that isn't running Windows. Also, it better have some kind of quick charge going on. Charge time on the 2014 is brutal.:eek:

Steve
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
From the info posted on the web, it seems that while the battery is larger (for the larger display), the CPU and RAM are the same as the 10.1 2014. Could this mean there might be more lag? Why doesn't Samsung allow us to change the battery like the Note 1-3?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Johny Jackson:
While samsung don't make 4:3 ratio tablet at all, 12.2 or 13.3 tablet may be better.

We can see full page in landscape mode without scrolling.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] >>X<<:
Screen size is larger but resolution is the same so it wouldn't make a difference as far as lag is concerned, that's only rumoured spec anyhow.

Theres going to be four new tablets from samsung all rumoured to be out before March at the latest, with the 12.2 being one of the first released.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
In that case, perhaps I should hold the purchase for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and upgrade my Note 2 to Note 3.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] scrabbles:
Good point. I'd rather see a 4:3 10" Android-powered tablet than a 12.2 or a 12.3 that is 16:10 or (eww) 16:9. It is frustrating that the only decent 4:3 tablet is the iPad (although HP did just come out with the HP Slate Pro 8, but the specs on that are pretty weak).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Anicane:
So if they Samsung is releasing a 12.2'' Note , the prices for Note 10.1 might come down aswell, if so i will just return mine and wait. _P
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] BarryH_GEG:
Highly doubtful. More likely is the price of the 12.2 will be noticeably higher. I use my 10.1 for entertainment when traveling and to get light productivity work done so I don't have to schlep my notebook with me all the time. At least to me, 12.2" is just way too big and defeats the portability benefit of a tablet. You've got to give Samsung credit though for leaving no niche unexploited.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ChrisNee1988:
I agree, it'll most likely be more expensive, might as well buy a laptop or surface pro and be more productive.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Hanson68:
I want one of these just because it's bigger, but there are just too many drawbacks. With the increase in screen size (which is substantial), there is a significant increase in weight and price with a drop in ppi

It's rumored to be 750g, which is actually only 3 oz heavier than an iPad 4, which actually isn't that bad considering the size.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Illusive Man:
I use my Note 10.1 while travelling. I take notes at clients sites, and I use t for reading and gaming in the airports. Even the 10" can get a little heavy for holding when reading, so I don't think I would want the additional weight of a larger tablet. For travellers weight is the enemy. I like a decent sized screen, but I have to balance that with weight.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] treeofliberty:
A couple months ago I would have also gravitated toward the 12 - inch tablet. However, seeing the lower sales numbers for this device, due to the high price and how it has suppressed the development of custom ROMs, I have changed my perspective.

Thanks to Scott for Clean ROM, and finally breaking the log jam.

I cannot imagine the weight difference being noticeable in the long run, if you get the big dog.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] BarryH_GEG:
What's funny is the 7-8" crowd thinks we're all nuts for having a 10" tablet. Different strokes. ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] og.blaah:
My exact thoughts.

Sent from my freekin huge Note 10.1 ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] UCSB:
I own the Nexus 10 (same screen size and resolution of SGN 10.1 2014) and an HP TM2 12.2 hybrid tablet/notebook. The HP can be used either as a tablet with pen or by rotating the screen it can be used as a touch notebook. Comparing the 10.1" screen to the 12.2" screen; the 12.2" is significantly larger. I use my tablet for web browsing and while the 10.1" does a nice job, the 12.2 is much less fatiguing to use. You wouldn't realize this unless you could switch from one to the other and directly compare them. But since the Nexus 10 is much more convenient to handle, it is my go to tablet right now.

I'm definitely going to pickup the PRO when it is introduced and compare it directly to the Nexus 10 for daily use. I will either go with the PRO or the SGN 10.1 2014. Because of the pretty drastic difference in size, I think it will not take long to develop a clear preference in actual use. The PRO may be to big ... or maybe not.

Many people felt the SG Note was too big to be used as a phone, but I have really enjoyed my Note 2 and now my Note 3. When I switch to smaller phones they seem seriously inconvenient to use.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] vincey2kr1:
I'm just jealous that it will be on 4.4 kitkat It's blazing fast. I doubt We ever get a 4.4 update.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] UCSB:
The updates are a nice feature of the Nexus devices. The Nexus 10 is on 4.4.2 right now.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Geordie Affy:
I was expecting this to be announced on 7th Jan at CES, seems like all the rumours are now suggesting it will be announced at MWC in February, even though I have no intentions of buying it, just looking forward to see what tablets Samsung release.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] {Diemex}:
Watched a few videos on YouTube from CES and no one made a size comparison. I would like to see how much bigger it is to see if the bigger screen is worthwhile. I'm thinking of buying the note 12 just for note taking and still keeping the 10 incher as backup and for games.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] reubenskelly1992:
We've all been robbed if we don't get the new update. Our tab is still in the same range as the pro range just ours was released a bit premature I think. Be unfair if we didn't get that update soon or when new ones are realised. Since there's no note 10.1 in the pro range I'm guessing the note 2014 is it. Wouldn't be suprused if they stick galaxy tab note pro 10.1 on our tab from the release
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] BarryH_GEG:
Pretty grim outlook, no? There are five high-end tablets Samsung's announced for 2014. The N10.1-14 just happened to be the first. With all the new tablets specs so closely matched, what makes anyone think that the N10.1-14 won't be brought up to the same s/w level concurrent (or sooner) with the new tablet's release? The h/w and screen resolution are identical on all the new tablets (except 2GB vs. 3GB of RAM on some) which makes developing common s/w for them 100% easier than 2013.

I think the reason the multiuser roll-out stopped and that there have been very few recent updates for the P600/1/5 is that Samsung's put all their effort in to 4.4 and Magazine UX and its roll-out will occur within the next few weeks (the new tablets are supposed to launch next month). Samsung makes a ton of margin on the Note-series and leaving the N10.1-14 with older s/w and fewer features than the identical non-S Pen equipped version (G-Tab 10.1 Pro) that's going to cost less would be plain dumb.

P.S. - I think the N10.1-14 will outsell the N12 2:1. People that want a giant tablet will be orgasmic about the N12 but I don't think there are very many of them. Case in point, people that buy Asus Transformers for the keyboard love them. They sold less than 500K last year. A niche is still a niche no matter who tries to fill it.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rajackar:
Let's just hope it will run on the same chipsets with the same screen resolution, then we can easily port the rom to our note :)

According to the new this will be the case so we can expect ported roms :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Note10.1Dude:
Yep, 12 will go $50 to $100 more than 10. I can JUST palm my 10 (I so wish the bezel was a little smaller) when writing on it and after a while my hand starts to tire. At the size of the 12, I am at table-top use mode, and then I want a laptop with proper keyboard. I have an older 11" dell that is much better for content creation than any tablet, but not as nice for consumption.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dt33:
I dont see how 12.2 is practical to use in anyway. Too use it for work and have it lying on a flat surface is fine. But too bring it along will cause problem and high risk to crack the screen.

- Difficult to hold with 1 hand.

- Not practical to bring with.

- Drop it once and the screen will shattered in 10000 pieces.

- Gonna be expensive to repair a cracked screen.

Too many downside with such big screen.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] FlamingGoat:
I don't know how you guys use your 10s so. Mine is always either flat, propped up by it's case, or resting on my leg. I never ever use it one handed or even two handed holding in the air. So the extra size means nothing to me except benefit.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] {Diemex}:
I use the 10.1 mostly flat on the table or propped up in its case too.

I need to take a bag with for the 10.1 in any case, so the bigger screen doesn't matter either. I think a windows tablet makes more sense in the 12.2 size category, so we'll see what CES brings us on the table.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Geordie Affy:
Yeah that's a good point to be fair. Personally I'm happy with 10.1 considering I fly a lot so seems the perfect size for using on flights or just generally on the sofa or bed, sometimes I find it just a little too big but not by much, but wanting a 12.2 size is understandable, essentially a mobile laptop (if a laptop could get anymore mobile lol) plus ideal for those who always watch stuff with people. There are many benefits no doubt but for me the 10.1 is the limit currently.

Samsung races against rumors of an Apple 'iPad Pro' with two new 12-inch tablets

By Shane Cole

South Korean electronics giant Samsung on Monday fired a preemptive shot across the bow of Apple's widely-rumored, yet still unannounced, large-screened iPad with the new Galaxy Note Pro and Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2-inch slates.

Samsung's announcement comes as rumors swirl around a potential "iPad Pro" that would feature a larger, 12- to 13-inch display. One analyst went so far as to predict that such a device, equipped with a hardware keyboard in a "clamshell" form factor, would disrupt the enterprise notebook market. even more so than Apple's 9.7-inch iPad has.

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14...n-apple-ipad-pro-with-two-new-12-inch-tablets​
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Geordie Affy:
Yeah I read about the ipad rumours, I think a tablet that big needs a pen to accompany it esp if it's meant to be for business people i.e in meetings, project planners etc so wounder if Apple will bring out a pen of some sort too. I know they will sooner or later since they now copy android.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] toyanucci:
Sammobile tweeted the prices (mind you in euros):

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, Wi-Fi: €389 ($389?)

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, LTE: €519 ($519?)

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 10.1, Wi-Fi: €479 ($479?)

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 LTE: €609 ($609?)

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 12.2, Wi-Fi: €649 ($649?)

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 12.2, LTE: €749 ($749)

Samsung Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, Wi-Fi: €749 ($749?)

Samsung Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, LTE: €849 ($849?)

Like apple, they usually charge the same figure value in the US thus the prices in brackets. Honestly, it's about what I expected considering what the Note 10.1 2014 edition sells for. I'm flad to see the tabpro 10.1 for under $500 and I think it is competetively priced. If the note 10.1 2014 edition gets the kitkat update as soon as these new tablets are available I'd probably get the note 10.1 (I've started using the stylus on my note 3 more especially for scrapbook!). I hope they just do the smart thing and call it the notepro 10.1 and give it the new taskswitcher button and call it a day as it has the exact same specs as all the other pro tabs.
