Alright guys. Looking to get my mom a tablet so she can stop using my laptop lol. General use is ebay, facebook, youtube etc.

I think something from 8.9 to 10 inches would be ideal, as she can prop it on the table and look at it. as opposed to a 7 inch tablet.

I was looking at the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 for its HD picture, and overall seems like a good general use tablet, but i know the lack of sd card support and needing to be rooted to get google play store kinda put me off.

I dont really want to stick her with an ipad, don't want her tied to sticking with itunes.

but i know since it is not for me, i shouldn't bother tweaking and modding it than worrying about auto-updates etc lol.

Got to be able to find a stylish case for it that offers a lil protection.

I am open for suggestions. I want it to be around $400 . My step dad and I will be going half on it (I dont make that much money but I will put down $200) .

I guess even a Nook HD+ looks decent, but the hardware specs seem a bit dated now.

I bought the 9.7-inch Sumivision Cyclone Voyager II. Not far off your price bracket in the UK.

Cyclone Voyager 2

From a quick glance, not a Nexus, but not far off it.
[Android General] Fuzzypumper:
I heartily recommend the Hisense Sero 7 Pro, which you should be able to pick up at your local Walmart for $149. I won't get into the detailed specs here (Google is your friend ;) ) but it's practically a clone of the Nexus 7 but with front and rear cameras and an external SD slot, all for about 70 bucks less than the Nexus. In a similar situation as yours I bought it for my Mum's birthday and it was a great decision -- it's a great little tab! And there are threads here on xda for rooting and a few ROMs that are being developed.

Good luck with your Xmas shopping!

[Edit: I reread and see you're looking for something bigger than a 7-inch tablet -- I still think this one's a great deal though; you might want to consider it anyway. And you can get a nice i-Unik case for it on Amazon.]
[Android General] hypertek:
That Sero 7 does look pretty interesting, i may have to get that for myself after the holidays lol.

I may go with the galaxy tab 3 or note 10.1 depending on how much my step dad is gonna pitch in on the gift. Maybe a bit overkill but should get a few years out of it imo.

Wasn't sure where else to put this but here goes:

Hello all

I currently live in Australia and have noticed that all movies in the play store are in stereo. Doesn't make a difference whether it's HD, SD, rented or bought.

Even movies that are available overseas that are in 5.1 are only available in stereo here.

For example Prometheus in the US play store is available as 5.1 whereas in Australia it is only available in stereo.

The only exception I've noticed is in 5.1 surround is "Transformers the Dark Side of the Moon" which came free with my Nexus 7. If I look in my purchased movies it shows it as 5.1 and plays back in surround sound via my Chromecast. However if you search for it in the play store it's only available in stereo.

Any one in other countries notice this? Any ideas folks?

Take out the battery, put it in again, and turn it on. Unless you screwed your phone up so badly that tejasjani55's solution is required, you might try this.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Not sure, but try this. Take out the battery, and hold the power button for ~5 seconds. Connect the phone to a PC. Flash the stock FTF. When it asks to press the back button, insert the battery (without removing the microUSB). The flash will begin. After the flash is complete, let the phone be for about half an hour, then remove the cable and turn it on.

Hi

I had this same problem a while ago, I am sorry to say your phone is bricked BUT FIXABLE :)

1. Take battery out of the phone.

2. Install all drivers needed.

3. Download Sony Update Service (Google it).

4.Open SUS and click Agree and next, select the Xperia E and hit next.

5. Put the battery in.

6. Now as instructed by SUS plug in the USB cable to the PC while holding the volume down key.

7. If you have done everything correctly, update service should detect your phone.

8. Click Install and follow instructions on screen.

Okay, I'll try again later with other computer. Nothing wrong with your method, I follow your instructions step by step and when the process completed, I unplug the usb from my phone, exit from SUS, turn on the phone, and still vibrate a second with green light blinking. Now, I try use PC Companion, still progress. Or maybe something wrong with my hardware?

First of all !

I think you might have a battery issue too !

First charge your battery fully !

Incase it isn't charging follow these steps :

- Pull out battery

- Plug in the charger and start charging

- After the charging LED turns on, insert the battery while pressing the back button and during this don't stop charging. :P

- Congo, now you have your phone charging.

Now, make sure you have an unlocked bootloader of your Phone to try the flashing things :) and if you already have it unlocked then try relocking it with Flashtool and apply for warranty ! :D or you can still flash your original stock firmware with locked bootloader too or use Sony Update Service. :)

You can check out this thread for the Sony Xperia E Single stock firmware and guide to get back into stock :

Link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2568176

Or if you want your bootloader unlocked and want to fix the phone then try flashing the stock firmware of your device.

As mentioned by other members in the earlier posts. :)

It needs your phone boot loader locked dude!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] omega-xis:
got same thing fixed it quick and dirty

the way I got it fixed is a pretty dirty one, (and it's for an unlocked bootloader)

download:

developer{DoT}sonymobile{Dot]com<slash>services/flash-tool/

use this to flash the stock-rom, make sure you put the configuration.ini in the right place. then start the program, then hold volume DOWN and connect your phone. the green led should go on and emma will detect your phone, you can now flash the stock rom.

my problem was that the battery wasn't charged enough and my phone wouldn't charge it either, you can flash without battery but not boot your phone (it will be stuck on the green led)

so we need to fix that:

take out your battery, and use a 5V power supply (I used an arduino with 2 wires stuck into the 5V and GND pins, you can also strip an usb-cable as explained here: youtube: /watch?v=-WZHlUpxphQ)

put the 5V on the + of your battery and the Ground on the - (minus)

hold it for 10 minutes!!

after that put your battery back in your phone and put the cover back on, press the power-button until it vibrates, then connect it to your usb-charger as quickly as possible. the phone should now boot the freshly installed stock-rom you flashed earlier and should start charging the battery.

fixerd!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] itszcharlie:
Okay, so I've been lurking these threads and I'd like to see if someone could clarify a few things. I come from the S3 which was a lot more simpler than the s4.

I recently bought a Galaxy S4 AT&T 32GB with MK2 ota installed. My understanding is that you cannot go back. I am fine with that, touchwiz is actually just fine and dandy on 4.3 (at least for me it is.) I do however, have a few questions in regards to the rooting process.

Rooting:

1. From what I understand, MK2 has a few privacy-concerned root methods. Once I root, I can proceed to the next question, correct?

Installing Roms:

2. After you root, from what I understand, you install a side strap program that creates partitions on your internal SDcard to install roms (side by side?) However, there is no currently stable SS for MK2. When a stable version of SS does come out, I can use it to install roms (particularly Virgin GPE sounds enticing to me, i love pure stock without much extra features) even with the boot loader being locked?

3. SS also voids the warranty, is that correct?

4. I am hearing knox is sort of like the new flash counter for S4, except it doesn't really count, it just voids your warranty, is that correct?

Thanks in advance to the community, you guys are doing an awesome job.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DyslexicTurtle:
No at this point when he updates it to mk2....what I understand is that only 4.2.2 Roms are compatible with safestrap as of now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
No, it's only ROM's that work with the stock kernel. Since our stock kernel is now 4.3, we can only use 4.3 ROMs.

There is a safe rooting method and you can find the thread in the general section. Hashcode is working on Safestrap for MK2, and is close as he made it for the Verizon S4 already. When the stable version comes out you can use 4.3 Touchwiz roms and GPE since it runs on a stock S4 kernel. Technically rooting voids the warranty by itself, but people just flash their phones back to stock in order to circumvent this. KNOX is a set of security tools for businesses and such, and for us it does add a counter to the bootloader that voids warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Whizzpopper:
No. There is a safe and easy method.

Here is the method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758

It's for the Verizon version of our phone, but it works.

There is no safestrap for MK2 (which is Android 4.3) yet. I'm not familiar with the Rom you're talking about. If you look around a bit, there's a post that details the roms available for MF3. I'd imagine that list will be similar for MK2

Don't know. Wouldn't worry about it. If you need your warranty, go back to stock.

Knox is actually part of Samsung's Enterprise security system. They developed Knox and all this other iPhoney lock-down crap as part of a push to win government & corporate contracts. My understanding is that the Knox counter voids the Knox warranty, not the warranty on the phone. You should locate the warranty and read it for yourself.
