[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] BarryH_GEG:
Android and iOS are great for consumption. Windows is great for productivity and business connectivity. Android fakes productivity better than Windows fakes consumption. Windows is Windows. With driver issues, desktop apps not designed for touch or an ultra HD display, and having to rely on a browser for a lot of things where apps aren't available. The SP3 changes none of that. My Note is a far better laptop

supplement

than the SP3 is a stand-alone tablet. My "laptop replacement" is still a laptop and Samsung's Pros and the SP3 haven't changed my thinking. What has changed is I can now leave my laptop and its bag full of paraphernalia at home 50% of the time because of the productivity and performance gains Samsung's introduced with the Pro's.

The second vignette in this commercial says it all...

P.S. - For those who handwriting is important, research N-trig. It's what MS is using in place of an active digitizer and Wacom which Samsung uses on the Notes. It's a pretty big compromise and I'll bet highly problematic on such a high-res display.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] BarryH_GEG:
You have to give Samsung credit. In less than a minute they took out the iPad Air, Surface, Kindle, and iPad Mini. ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] nesx87:
Yeah if the note taking is expected to be better in Note pro 12, then I am sticking to it. mine is on the way. but microsoft made a fuss about their pen technology being really good with surface pro 3..
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] onirban:
Good point. Though I'm still not convinced of the Windows 8.1 as a tablet interface. Android feels more comfortable for tablet use, and I can customize it quite a lot (Switchr + NotesMobile which I feel is the best note taking app, beats even OneNote though misses on the online sync).

So for extensive reading and writing(wacom!) Note Pro really is the best available. For more productive work I still can't forego windows, and that is on a laptop with a big screen (14+).

Maybe Windows 9 and Office 2015 can change my mind. But will wait and see.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Alexsandra:
I don't think SP3 is designed for game lover. It is a replacement for laptop. So it is very tempting for the people who have Note Pro or is considering Note Pro.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
If it has to replace my laptop, it has to be game-capable. Particularly if it's 500 quid more expensive than my laptop.... (Yes, my laptop was 1300 euro.)

Because my laptop is used 70% of the time for gaming. (and the other 30% for Photoshop)

They can't give it a general tagline and after the fact say "Oh, but we didn't mean that..".
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
The thing is though that the need for portability and the power requirements of high performance gaming graphics chipsets compete against each other. Desktops always trump laptops in gaming and because the tablet form factor is expected to be smaller than laptops they will always be trumped by laptops.

As for development on this tablet hopefully it will come; in the meantime modifications using Xposed fill the void quite well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
does anyone know of a tethering app that works? i tried wifi tether router, but according to the dev (who i had many email discussions with) you have to create an APN that uses IPV4 instead of V6. well, when i create an APN with ipv4 i can't connect to the data network.

any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:

a 3rd party tether, btw.

this works for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
I don't have any need to tether with anything at the moment. I was just trying to answer your original question without violation.

There have been many users that have gotten tether to work with unlimited data (pulling from the data instead of tether) and there are guides all over the place, just do a search.

Once thing I know is adjusting the APNs and using a different client protocol in your browser on your pc is required to achieve what you desire.

Check a couple custom roms on here too.

I believe the alliance rom and project infinity rom have both fixed the apn from the get go.

Hope that helps.

Ps > fox fi worked great on my previous phones when I had Verizon, but now I'm on t mobile and rely on wifi calling because the data network is out of my range where I live, and I have free wifi at both my jobs so, hence the reason I haven't had the need to tether, yet.

Good luck. And when I get back home in about 20 minutes I will search the forums and post a link or two for you if you haven't figured it out yet.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
i asked for anyone that knows of a tethering app that works. on an s5 (as the forum indicates). that implies, nay, dictates, that the individual providing their input has first hand knowledge of whether it works on an S5.

if you don't have direct first hand experience with this working, then you're not able to answer my original question without violation.

anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
The stock one WORKS as well as foxfi.

There you go. Your question has been answered....

;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
not at all. have you succesfully used foxfi to successfully wifi tether on your S5? i don't care about any other phone because this isn't those phone's forums nor does it matter to me in the slightest.

as for the stock, i've already addressed that. sorry for your confusion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Yes

PdaNet+ works as well. Wifi, Bluetooth, usb. No problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
interesting that you say foxfi works on the S5. the developer's page doesn't indicate as much:

http://pdanet.co/help/devices.php

you've used PDANET on your S5 and it worked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
well, doesn't matter anyway. tried pdanet/foxfi. not only does it fail to start, it tried to use the built in provisioning. failx2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Yes, and yes.

Here is another one that works.

These screen shots are taken from my s5.

Proof it works.

Are you rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
yup, rooted. tried that one too. i can get it to "turn on", but i get errors saying that the tether couldn't be started. when it starts successfully, there's a data counter at the bottom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Using fox fi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
the first screenshot showing that last icon on the right indicates it's simply using your phone's built-in tether. this is not what i'd like to occur. when i opened up my own phone's built in hotspot, the network name was changed to "foxfi" which further indicates foxfi isn't really doing anything except starting the built in tether.

looking for something independent of the phone's native "tethering" ability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] DOMINANDROID82:
wifi tether router is working for me. it took me a lot of research here on xda but i finally got it to work. For the app settings follow the devs instruction but do that create the apn. You just have to change the original apn from ipv6 to ipv4 using a file manager. I used esfile explorer. Do some research here in xda to find the exact steps you need to take to change it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
thanks. im beginning to understand that for whatever reason, my phone cannot establish a data connection when im in ipv4. i think this is the root of all my tethering problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Carlos2200:
With WiFi tether plus you have to tap it on then tap off and tap on again for it to work right. Also, these apps won't work unless you modify your apn like instructed because ipv4 and dun are the only way that works right now till ipv6 is available.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The ruu is correct

Did you relock the bootloader if it's unlocked ? Did you put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode ? Did you run the ruu with admin rights ?
[HTC One X] bd67:
yes, I did put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode and all the activity was run with admin rights.

However I am not sure how do I do this relock the bootloader if it's unlocked.

Can I unlock it or relock it as many times I need?

what is the command please? I will re-run the whole sequence again once I am able to charge the phone beyond 30%.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Charge the phone to 100% if you can. Go for safe !

Fastboot oem lock

That's the command.
[HTC One X] bd67:
Thanks much , now I am back to stock rom and booted

I guess now I have to update HBOOT , turnback to unlocked status and try to update the ROM to some other version if I wish to ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes now you have to do all official ota's you can get. After those updates you unlock the bootloader and make a nandroid backup with the custom recovery and then you start flashing other roms

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rahmonster1.0:
So my gs3 has a replacement screen on it from a trusted seller, and this weird thing is happening where some icons, mostly white ones, like the play store, and message boxes in kik and stuff have these vertical black and red lines going through them. When i move the icons on the homescreen the lines seem to follow a pattern under the icon. When i am switching pages in the app drawer, the lines do not show up until the animation has finished. Also, this occurs in TWRP in some areas like the logo and all text. Does anyone know what is wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Derekao:
I have had incredible battery life over the last 6 months. But something has changed now it is horrible. I have noticed that 29% is my os what is causing that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
Can you please be a bit more specific? It's difficult to help if we don't have much information to go on...

Are you on a custom ROM?

What has changed recently?

Have you recently installed any apps or Mods? Has your usage changed? Are you using the screen more? Are you regularly in areas without adequate cell phone reception?

All of the things listed above will affect Battery Life. If you're suspecting it's a rogue app causing it, the best solution is to use

greenify

to find and squash those programs.

I know other users also use

Better Battery Stats

in order to find out what's causing battery drain, but I haven't used it in over a year, so I can't comment on how well it works nowadays.

Hope this helps!

[HTC TUT] Fix error "writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)" in Fastboot

Hello all, I recently experienced a Fastboot error when I tried to flash the TWRP recovery for my device.

The error said,

writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Today I will be showing you how I fixed that error.

First of all, you will need:

a fastboot firmware package for your device (which will be called firmware.zip for this tutorial).

your custom recovery of choice (which will be called customrecovery.img for this tutorial)

a Windows, Linux, or I *believe* Mac PC

Fastboot installed and working on said PC

knowledge of zipping/unzipping files and renaming files

Now, for the fun part!

PREPARING YOUR FILES

1. Create a new folder and name it something you will remember and recognize.

2. Open your firmware.zip. There should be a file called "android-info.txt", copy that and put it in the folder you just created.

3. Next, you will need to take your recovery. Rename it to "recovery.img" (all lowercase, btw), and put it in the folder with the android-info.txt.

4. Highlight the two files (android-info.txt and recovery.img) and zip them up as a .zip file. Name it whatever you'd like. For the purposes of this tutorial, I will be calling it "recov.zip"

FLASHING THE FILES

1. Put your device into Fastboot mode

2. Open cmd/terminal/etc. and cd to the folder with recov.zip.

3. in cmd/terminal, run the following command:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

4. now you should be on an HTC screen with "HTC" in pretty silver letters

5. run the following command:

fastboot flash zip recov.zip

(but with your zip name)

6. You should get a success message and you should be able to reboot in your custom recovery.

HAPPY FLASHING!

(if this tutorial helped you please thank this topic!)

Thanks, this worked for me with HTC M8 updating TWRP

Hello,

You just saved me. I confirm it works. Actually, for me just entering "fastboot oem rebootRUU" did the trick, because here I could flash anything.
[Android General] freshkid87:
i get a android-info fail
[Android General] joebron:
So...

I bought a new phone and bricked it. There are a whole range of issues, but unless I can get over "writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)", I have no hope of even attempting to fix the others.

Thing is, I didn't back up (first time playing with Android - I thought I'd made a backup but I found out it was 0bytes and deleted it...) and it seems to be quite rare (HTC E8 MEC__TL) and nobody has uploaded much for this specific variant. When you say "your firmware.zip.", I don't think I have a way to get this.

If I buy another of this phone from the same seller, will I be able to extract the files to make your fix? Will this be effected by me having changed (or at least tried to change) the CID and MID?

Thanks!

It turns out to be the slot its self. when you have the card pushed & held all the way in it works just fine. Eventually I'll swap out that failed slot (tape is doing the trick for now) but for now I'm thinking about getting the Note 3.

Perhaps if there was also an option to choose which applications you want Peek to display?
