[Microsoft Surface] maikalwolf:
I was disapointed about no mention of RT at all!

Loved the way that Pro 3 looks though. I have looked at all the press on it. Great looker. But way out of my price affordability at this time. I'll make do with my 1'st gen RT with 64gbs for a while. I might keep my eyes open for a bargain, I only paid $160US for mine on ebay. WIth all the stuff I've done to mine I might, maybe be able to resell for $200US, then sit and gamble for a pro 2. "Sigh" always the best man never the groom...lol:cool:

I don't know why they switched from Wacom to ntrig for the stylus.

One thing I like about my Surface Pro over my friends Sony duo 13 is that if I just want to draw 1 or 2 lines or a few words I can use the pen from my Note 3 if I the surface pen is not in easy reach.

Other than that, I like the surface pro 3. New stand looks like it will be better for writing and drawing. I do a lot of annotating on pdfs and use a combination of keyboard and pen.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
The active stylus can give better precision. Wacom is nice and works well in most cases, but on very high-density displays - such as the Surface Pro 3 has - its minimum resolution is several pixels across.
[Microsoft Surface] TPadden:
It will be interesting to see how users feel about the size over time. After I went from a 11" to 13" MacBook Air I really missed the carry ability of the 11'. Although the Pro 2 is heavy and thick, somehow the 10" size just seems right to me.

[Microsoft Surface] renx0:
The thing I like the most about the Surface Pro 3 is that it doesn't make me want to replace my Surface Pro 2. The screen size is larger, which wasn't what I was looking for when I originally bought the SP2. The only highlights for the form factor that I would have liked over it is the thickness and weight.
[Microsoft Surface] mkwhater:
i wish they just waited for broadwell they probably could have made thinner
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
MS needs to sync its release cycle with Intel's. 1st-gen Surface & Pro also had the same problem, of using previous-gen SoC that makes them obsolete even before release. For premium devices, which the Surface lines aspire to be, the target audience is early adopters who expect to have the latest tech. Intel's Mountain Llama (the Broadwell reference design) was impressive in its Computex debut, and SP3 won't fare well in the inevitable comparison.

The kickstand + keyboard cover combo also hasn't fared well. One sign of a good design, aside from selling well, is when competitors copy it. I don't see any OEM copying the keyboard cover, preferring instead to stick to more conventional "detachable" design eg Asus' Transformer series, which works better for fast typing.

This latter has its own issue of being top-heavy, thus needing to add counterbalance weight to the keyboard dock and increasing overall weight. Intel's ref design avoids this by not putting the docking point at the edge of the dock, thereby creating an "outrigger" that prevents tip-over. Most aftermarket keyboard docks for iPad use this setup. Its other advantages: lighter than conventional detachable, more rigid than MS' design and being more "lapable," and works in portrait. One improvement would be to add an adjustable hinge.

I see SP3 having a short shelf life, and not just because of the obsoleted SoC. If MS sticks to its new spring release cycle for Windows as rumored, then Win9 should see a corresponding Surface launch, along with Office Touch, about 10 months from now. The i3 and i7 versions of SP3 won't ship until end of August, which gives them about a 7-month shelf life.
[Microsoft Surface] ChrisDDD:
Agree on syncing new Surfaces to Intel's processor releases, but totally disagree on the kickstand and covers. I love being able to just flip the cover up to make more room on my desk, flip it down when I need to do some work, or use the tablet upright without a keyboard at all - keeping something up just for reference, watching a movie, etc.

I totally don't get all the focus people put on how the kickstand works (or doesn't) on the lap. In the past 20 years, I don't think I've used a laptop on my lap more than dozen times. On a desk, I'd take a kickstand over a traditional notebook any day. It's also nice that you get both a keyboard and cover in what? 3-4mm?

For people who prefer something closer to a traditional laptop, there's plenty of choices, I really the Surface retains the kickstand.

As for the Pro 3, I see it much the same as the original Pro - some nice features but just not enough to make me want to buy one. The processor has already been mentioned, the switch away from the Wacom pen, and I actually prefer the smaller screen on the Pro 1 and 2. I could be tempted by a Pro 4 or maybe 5, but my 2 is serving me perfectly well for now.
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
>totally disagree on the kickstand and covers. I love being able to just flip the cover up...In the past 20 years, I don't think I've used a laptop on my lap more than dozen times...

"I like it"/"works for me" isn't an argument.

>I totally don't get all the focus people put on how the kickstand works (or doesn't) on the lap

Lap use is one instance in the spectrum of computing use mobility. At one end of the spectrum is usage while walking, ie with a phone. Next is using the device while standing. After that, is sitting without a desk (ie lap use). Then, sitting with a desk. Finally, sitting with a desk in a pre-determined location (ie a desktop PC).

By not being able to use the device well while sitting and without a desk, the Surface is even less mobile than a laptop for high-speed typing. That's why MS was so persistent with the "lapability" argument, which was shot down by the majority of reviews of SP3, from journalists and bloggers who do need that mobility.

>It's also nice that you get both a keyboard and cover in what? 3-4mm?

Thinness is visually appealing and is a selling point, but ergonomically it doesn't matter. For a tablet, which is a handheld device, weight and shape are what counts. For a keyboard, thinness affects more important things, like key travel, which affects typing speed. The Surface type cover is an inferior keyboard for typing, even by the relatively low standard of laptop keyboards.

>I really the Surface retains the kickstand.

Archos tablets have had the kickstand for many years, and it was never a big deal (read: not a selling point). Anyway, it's not a matter of having or not having a kickstand, but how to have the display at a desired angle with the least hassle. For decades, the clamshell form was the least hassle. MS' kickstand design hasn't proven to be an adequate replacement. Of present designs, the one in the above pic is IMO the most efficient.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
for once, and this is a rare occasion, I actually agree with you.

My laptop rarely if ever touches a desk. Had a guy round with his surface RT and frankly it was absolutely useless as a laptop replacement ergonomically (we'll ignore software) in the places I use my laptop.
[Microsoft Surface] adamlee011:
Without having done a painful amount of digging, please allow me to butt in for a moment and ask, ate there any threads here dedicated to development or tweaking of the sp3? I just got the i7 512 model to use as the heart of a semi portable recording studio (a good amount of real-time number crunching) and was looking to get the most I can out of it. So far, with the little benchmarking and playing with Undervolting a little, I haven't seen this chip do any thermal throttling and haven't gotten any real increase in benchmark. It seems this thing is pretty damn efficient. I came across an article where people were getting major increase in benchmarks by Undervolting but with the i5. (less voltage, less heat, more time at "turbo" less fan noise - ideal for audio production) Well, hey before I REALLY start rambling, ;) if anyone has any resources or suggestions I'd be much obliged.

If the playstore was pre-installed, a wipe data and updating it may solve the problem.

If you had installed it later, then only installing playstore won't work, You have to flash the whole Gapps package.

Google Play Store won't work without google servies framework and some permissions which can be only installed through Gapps package.

You can use Goo.im or Gapps manager to find the appropriate Gapps package for your Android version..

Hello, I'm new to the lg g2 custom rom scene and i'm looking for some help

I have stock kitkat rooted with custom recovery installed with autorec...

I want to install CyanogenMod or another custom rom but i'm not sure if i can do that on kitkat or

if i'd have to go back to JB.

I've searched all over and can't find the answer to this simple question lol any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks.

[AT&T LG G2] Swetnes:
Once you have a custom recovery installed, you are good to go. Before Autorec came out, the only way to install a custom recovery was to downgrade to Jellybean, that isn't the case now. So just pick your ROM and happy flashing.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mudstuffin23:
I've got a big problem with my new Find 7a(switched from Color OS to CM 11 from official oppo website). The full phone encryption is one of the main features that I need. My exchange server requires it.

Everything is working perfectly except the device encryption. After choosing a password, the screen shows the green android logo with a chain around the belly. I know that there should be a progress bar, but there isn't. I waited several hours and noticed that i can easily go back. The whole encryption process doesn't start, but it also throws no error message. Tried to reboot etc., nothing helped.

This worked just fine on my HTC One. I'm not sure what the problem is. I couldn't get it to work on color OS 1.2 as well as 2.0.

Thanks in Advance! I really need this feature to work.

We have an option at work for an "offline phone book" this is a HTML page that you can save as an MHT file.

When I copy this to the HTC and browse to it I can get the basic header page up but then it just sits there saying "loading data"

there is some vb code in there or references to vb files.

Dear all,

I have a serious problem. I have activated the speaking (for blind people) option from the accessibility button in the option menu (dont ask me why). Now I hear a loud voice repeating every step or button I press. I cannot turn it off. When I go the option menu I cannot scroll down in order to get to the accessibility button to switch the voice activation (for blind people) off.

I have downloaded Cyanogenmode 11 for samsung galaxy s4 I9505.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there another way to get to the accessibility button?

Thanks in advance!:good::good:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nerdstaz:
I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.

So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.

Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!

I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?

Thanks for any information.

FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.

In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nerdstaz:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jparasita:
I am rooted with s-off using viper rom
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nerdstaz:
Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.

I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.

If Xposed is in, you can use gravity box to enable the nav bar. You're rooted, so you can also just edit the build.prop file and drop in a line at the end that reads

I've backed away from gravity box in cm11 as it may be related to some odd 'misses' I'm getting in the browser - but that may be more to do with the app settings module and dialing up the size of things in the aosp browser.
