[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vinnievegas:
I was on virgin mobile 'stock' 4.1.2 with custom recovery and rooted and kept getting update notification which would upgrade to 4.3.... Obviously I couldnt do the update due to not having stock recovery and being rooted, so I used the method in this thread. Once I completed the recovery and am now upgraded to 4.3 I imediately recieved a notification of a system update inwhich I assume would have been the 4.4 update. I clicked to accept the update and reboot so it could install but once it rebooted and tried to install the update it imediately faild and booted back into 4.3... Now the notification isnt present and my phone says its up to date. has anyone else experienced this problem? And Im wondering now if I may be blacklisted from the 4.4 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
No you are not " Blacklisted " from the 4.4 Update ;) . Although in all likely hood you will not get the notification again. The thread HERE should explain things a bit better for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The reason it failed is because you have root and custom recovery. You have to actually be 100% stock for the OTA to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vinnievegas:
I used the file in the op through odin. Doesnt that make me stock? Couldnt I just do emergency recovery through kies?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Root and custom recovery make you not stock, it runs a check for tip make sure everything is as it's supposed to be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vinnievegas:
The point im trying to make is i was 4.1.2 root and custom recovery before. Now I have used [FULL RESTORE][TAR] Stock MK5 Odin FLASHABLE [4.3] in odin. Arent I stock now???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, but why don't you just Odin 4.4 if it's not working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Because he's trying to get stock in order to run the Boost variant KK that's starting to drop.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
Hi all, i have just installed the mod for OTG, it work great and i can mount any usb storage =) But now i want to use the original XBOX360 gamepade, the same i use for PC, on my nexus 4. If i plug it in the OTG cable the light in the middle of the gamepad start blinking but nothing happen, it doesn't work =( What i should do?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Is it a wired or wireless controller?

I believe goog added native support for the wired one around HC 3.1/3.2,

but they never added support for wireless ones.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
He said its the wired one.

I have no idea if it works. But maybe you can find something in settings/language&input ?

I never got my 360 controllers to work even under Windows so I wouldn't expect too much, haha.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Unless you're running win95, all you need are the drivers.

There's downloadable drivers for xp/vista/7, it's pre-included in 8/8.1.

It might be pre-included in 7, but it's been years since i used it.

Android does include the key mapping profiles for 360 controllers, there shouldnt be any additional settings options for it. But i've never had a wired controller to test it with.

It should automagically map it so that it follows the android default mapping for controllers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
Nexus 4 does not support USB OTG without a kernel hack and external power for the device. Also, the drivers are preinstalled on windows 8, previous OSs need an installer
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
OP already mentioned he had an otg enabled kernel and can connect other usb devices to his n4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
I dunno how I missed that. It should work then... The controller might need its own power though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
Yea I know apparently they are supposed to work under windows. Never did for me though (xp, 7) no matter which drivers and methods I used.
[Xperia Z2 General] Codana:
My Z2 vibration sounds like that, even in my pocket.

Should I replace it or send it to fix it? Or is this normal? Is your vibration also hearable?
[Xperia Z2 General] JMonkeYJ:
I don't think I've ever had a mobile where the vibration wasn't audible. I'm pretty sure that's normal.
[Xperia Z2 General] flumps:
Its normal, I've never had a phone either that you couldn't hear the vibration when put on a surface, isn't that the point of the vibrate to amplify the sound when placed on a flat area?
[Xperia Z2 General] Codana:
It sounds like that in my pocket, not on a surface, that's the point.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
Yours seems quieter than mine really so yeah I'd say it's quite normal. Doesn't compare to the original X1 though. now that had a loud vibration motor!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark-Black-71:
Hello,

I would like to know what material is on the back of the white Nexus 5? Is it the same like the black Nexus 5 or is it different?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
It's different.. Its kinda glossy and doesn't grip as good as the black one.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark-Black-71:
That is awesome because I saw that on black ones the soft touch plastic is easy to scratch. Is it harder to scratch this material?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Can't comment on the white one but my black n5 is holding up pretty good.. There's not a single scratch on the back... Using the phone naked almost all the time.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark-Black-71:
Ok, thanks for the answers. :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
I personally like the matte feel rather than the white. So I opted for the back and never looked back...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Me too. If it was an all white nexus 5, I would've considered it but the Panda thing is simply not for me :silly:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
I have white, father has black. Feels easier to grip the black one. White one looks nice with the glossy finish on the sides, but scratches easier I think (at least it has with me). I was initially going to buy the black but I ordered white instead just because it had faster shipping.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robin786:
The white one is not glossy at all. The material is matte. Maybe it's different by region.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
The glossy part of the white is the black sides. The backplate is a sort of matte eggshell finish, however it is not the same grippy texture as the black.

Scratch wise they're both susceptible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murfi:
i have the red one, which has the same material as the black one.

i never had a white one in my hands, but its said thats its using a "glossy" plastic (i'm thinking of typical samsung, like nexus s), while the black and red ones are using a "softtouch" plastic. i have no idea what exactly "soft touch" is supposed to mean, i expected something gum-like wich a lot of grip. however, its regular plastic, which is very very very slightly rough. a smooth roughness. it feels like its just about NOT glossy/slippery. and it looks matte.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Actually the red is the same egg shell finish as the white, except it also extends around the sides versus the glossy sides on the white.

Only the black has the rubberized soft touch finish.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] seventhworl:
Hi guys, just wondering how good it is in terms of games?

Just about to buy one and just wanted your opinion. Thanks for you time.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Mercvtio:
Well, I'm a daily player with a number of games on my GPad, and for now it has been running everything flawlessly. I'm currently playing Asphalt 8 in high details, and Amazing Spiderman 2 : both are just perfect and beautiful. I expect it will be some time before you find something thaht lags on it.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] 5warafat1:
Have you tried need for speed most wanted on it. Cause that game is very laggy on mine, Rest work fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Mercvtio:
Weird, it's really, really buttersmooth on mine.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] mziel:
Modern Combat 4, Deus Ex 2, Frontline Commando 2, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty Strike Team - works great.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
That game was smooth on mine as well.

Though I only had the LG G Pad a few days before returning it (did not like the quality of sound output and the display was blinking - a fault?)
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] _delice_doluca_:
Hope this topic gets more informative. Games are the only thing that is preventing me from buying this tablet. I haven't personally run any benchmark on the device but when I go to gfxbench.com and compare this tablet with other devices is seems like it will have a very short future on gaming. Because not only Galaxy S4 with the same chipset scores higher on the graphical benchmarks but even also Nexus 7 2013 is very much ahead of this tablet.

In the beginning I was going between two tablets; Tab Pro 8.4 and G Pad 8.3 because of Tab Pro's superior screen (everyone was saying G Pad was the dimmest screen they have ever seen). After seing that G Pad has actually better color accuracy and no downsides at all, I wanted to go for G Pad. However benchmarks are really scaring me on the GPU side (I don' care about CPU benchs because they are unreliable however GPU ones are very relistic).

Since I haven't even personally see a G Pad outside of a store I have no chance to run some benchmarks or measure any potential. So, I am trying to understand how even Nexus 7 can do better than G Pad. Could it be that the tests were made from the time of 4.4.2? Could any of you possibly run some tests on CM 11 and latest stock environments to share results? I know Adreno 330 has some technological advantages but it should not be that much better on the Tab Pro 8.4's resolution against G Pad..
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Forget synthetic benchmarks, they are just for epeen bragging rights, and a lot of the time they aren't even accurate (see Samsung and HTC faking theirs) what games do you want tested?
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
I've never cared about benchmarks either and I must say I did not experience any problems with games I threw at LG G Pad.

With that said - and you guys are going to hate me for this - as far as tablet gaming is concerned, nothing beats the iPad. Whatever we may think about Apple's 'walled garden' ecosystem, the variety, the sheer amount of games available there is astounding. And don't get me started on optimization and regular updates to games....

Please understand that I'm not trolling, I've used many various Android tablets and loved them all. But for pure gaming purposes, I'd be hard-pressed to find a better tablet. Sorry.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Nothing to be sorry about, devs go where the money is, the Android ecosystem is different and follows the freemium approach more. You can make more money from less sales on the iStore with a $3 game than more android installs of a freemium game if barely anyone buys the extras.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] alekos1992:
I don't think that this tablet is a good performer in games.

My friend has a galaxy s3 and in almost every game his framerates and graphics are better than my g pad.

A test sample for me is carX drift (that i really love playing), he is able to run it without any framerate drops on high graphics

while my g pad is running it on low with some framerate drops (if i switch to medium or high graphics it is still playable,but the framerate is sub 25fps)

And on amazing spiderman 2 it is not smooth by any mean, it is just playable (20fps seems to my eyes) :P
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] _delice_doluca_:
That seems like a problem. I know Google would never let its own device go under a mission impossible so I believe GP Edition of the tablet has either better optimised or newer drivers for GPU. I mean, look at Nexus 7 2013, even it has better performance when it comes to 3d gaming. This device is sold on Goole's vey own web page with Google's name on it. There is no way it should be lagging in games in the Google's own world without even turning 1 year old..

So it is either worse driver or underclocked GPU?

Has anyone tried OCing or using CM 11 since they "may" have better/newer drivers for GPU?

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

BTW;

I persdonally don't think GPU benchmarks are inaccurate. We want to see how our devices would treat games and they give us a scientifically equal test environment.. If we were to compare two devices with the same game, two person -side by side- would have to play excatly the same way which is impossible. So consider the 3d benchmarks as playing and measuring a cinematic part of a game..

Of course this idea is valid until some *clever* company starts cheating..

Still, something is not with G Pad's GPU, it can't even beat Galaxy S4..
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
You do realise the GPad has a much higher resolution than the S3?

I own both the GPad and an S3, I will try this out tonight and let you know.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

It depends how you are testing, just running a timed demo on a commercial game would be more accurate than running 3DMark or something along those lines.

Companies have been caught out and basically letting the phone/tablet/whatever run flat out when it detects it's running a benchmark app, which they normally wouldn't do due to heat and battery problems.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] _delice_doluca_:
You are right. However, Google is not one of those companies. So this tablet -at least- should have gotten on par with the Nexus 7 2013 level (of course with the same software version). Like I said, I have never seen a Google Play Edition of G Pad with my own eyes and never seen a benchmark run on it either.. But I believe if run, the benchmarks should have been at least on par or higher than Nexus 7 2013, depending on S4 Pro and S600 differences. I know Nexus 7 has a special version of S4 Pro and it probably effects the Adreno 320's performance too but still this tablet has an S600 chipset.

If you check gfxbench.com, and compare Nexus 7 2013, Samsung Galaxy Tap Pro 8.4 and G Pad 8.3 to each other you definetely can say G Pad should not result like that (talking about "onscreen" values, the others are just tricky values).

If I may ask, would you mind running some tests on your tablet to see how it is on, onscreen tests on gfx bench (If you are on KitKat of course)?

And also, If someone has some time to run the same benchmark on the CM 11 would be very much welcome and I would be very much thankfull :) If the results are so different than stock LG software's then we will know that something is wrong on the driver side (outdated/misconfigured etc..)

Edit: bad English :)
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
As long as it doesn't cost me money, I am happy to run whatever you want. I'm using stock rooted KitKat, LG launcher, pretty much as standard as it can get.

Let me know what you want me to run and I will do it over the weekend (if I remember :laugh:)
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] _delice_doluca_:
Thank you

I guess 2 apps would be more than enough.

One is gfxbench 3.0, after you download (Wi-Fi recommended) and pass the welcome screen just click on "tests" and select everything except "off screen" ones then let it run. It will take like 5 mins. (You may want to try battery life test but it is not necessary)

You can go to gfxbench.com and chose your device to compare with your results. For example my Nexus 4's results are very much same with the web page's but my previous Note 2 was so different.

The other is 3D mark. A cross platform test so we can compare the tablet to any tablet or phone.. Simply run the tests and it will display results side by side.

I know I am asking for too much but please run all tests twice and run them as all other apps are closed. If previous results are significantly lower than seconds then it is a driver or stability issue, if the opposite there is thermal throttle, if they are close enough then those are the results we need to achieve..

Thank you so much for helping. That is too important to me.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Gfxbench done

3dmark done

There does seem to be some thermal throttling going on.
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] _delice_doluca_:
Thanks a lot.

Weird, there is noticible change between two tests. GPU benchmarks should not change that much unless there are thermal issues.

Another thing is the results are higher than gfxbench.com says, obviously 4.4.2 brings some boost over 4.2.2.. This way it is on par or close-enough with Nexus 7 2013.

Thank you again
[G Pad 8.3 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Just updated with 3d mark, does look a lot like there's thermal throttling going on. The device does get warm under load but I out that down to having a metal back.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefsmith:
OK yes its been asked before but I can't find any threads about this topic that don't date back to 2011. Let's say I'm feeling nostalgic and want to use my tablet as a screen for let's say a GameCube? Is there a way? No it doesn't have to be wireless, USB dongles will due, but is there some type of app for this scenario?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgnex:
Not that I know. But there are emulators. So maybe there is a gamecube emulator.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workerantDroid:
You could hook that up to a PC and use something like teamviewer online on your tablet. So you are controlling your PC which plays the game all from your tablet. :D
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redphonemoscow:
Using an emulator and a remote screen solution would be absolutely horrendous for this purpose... latency issues everywhere (screen lag, ghosting, lack of sync between input and graphics...).

You will need an upscaler for this. Something that either takes component video input or composite and then outputs to HDMI.

Unfortunately the Nexus 10 port is output only. There are HDMI capable DIY panels you may want to check (Adafruit carries some... Alibaba might be a cheaper alternative). Other than that, there's no way.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnilow:
hi guys,

not sure if you're facing this issue.

i recently bought a protective cover, and after fixing it, noticed that the device is behaving odly.

it sleeps intermittently during use (as if you pressed the on/off button) and when you press on/off to turn it back, the home button and capacitive buttons are not functional. Back, home, and the task buttons can't work... after a few minutes of on/off, then it's ok.

however, when i take it out of the protective cover, it doesn't happen.

any of you have that problem?

Thanks.

Regards,

Liang
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfisher:
Yeah, I've experienced this problem too. I have a case that can flip the orientation of the screen. It seems that if I flip the tablet around the capacitive buttons come back. Very strange problem. I hope they can fix it in an update.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Hopefully the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor that controls smart cover functionality can be reduced via a software update. Until then being cognizant of it and realizing what orientation we have to keep our cover flaps away from to keep from triggering the screen off feature is all we can do.

Some cases have weaker magnets than others.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnilow:
hi,

the cover i have does not have magnets.

where exactly the sensor that tirggers the sleep?

thanks.

gnilow
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
The sensor is approximately 1.75 inches to the right of the G in the Samsung Logo and 1.5 inches from the top edge of the tablet.

Have you run a paper clip along all surfaces of the case/cover to determine for sure that there are no magnets embedded within either side of it? Magnets used for the on/off functionality in covers are thin and hidden inside the cardboard that is within the fabric/leather linings.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnilow:
thanks... but what exactly am i looking at? or is it internal?

you reckon that it's the magnet that's causing this? funny, it was a cheap case, will run through a clip along the surface and check it out.

thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
The sensor is internal. If you pass a magnet over that spot it will toggle the tablet screen on and off.
