[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Edwii:
I have two primary uses for the tablet in question:

1. I will be using it as a GPS navigation unit on my motorcycle. And it will be used to play music thru my motorcycle's speakers.

*I will most likely be using the headphone jack, or possibly some kind of usb audio out / charger (if I can find such a product) to send audio to an amplifier on the motorcycle. Or possibly via bluetooth.

2. When not on the bike I will be using it mostly for watching videos on it, via plex, netflix, memory card, etc.

Questions:

Network/ Internet connectivity:

I live in Canada B.C.

At first I only cared about a basic WiFi only note 8.0, but now I'm thinking I might be inclined to put on a network in the future, and would like to keep that door open(maybe).

1. If I import a USA note (AT&T):

a. will it work on our networks, fido/rogers/bell/etc

b. I will have to root it and flash it with a custom rom to do that right? and if that is true, will I notice any complications in the future?

Note 8.0 vs tab4 pro

I have already done a bit of research into this but thought I would ask a bit on the subject

The tab4 pro looks overall better, but also more expensive.

!. The only spec difference that I would really care about is the higher resolution screen that the tab4 has. would any one say it's a major difference in reality?

2. Are there any other notable feature that the tab4 has over the 8.0 that I might be overlooking?

Thank you for your help. any amount input is welcome.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] msd24200:
Are you talking about the tab pro 8.4 or a tab 4 8.0? I really like the 8.4 tab pro. The screen is amazing on it but I'm not going to count my note 8.0 out either as the picture quality has been plenty satisfying to me. The tab pro has the newer faster processor with a far better gpu. Had I not gotten my note at such a cheap price I would have gotten the tab pro 8.4. That being said I think that if you find a really cheap price on the note 8.0 it's worth it. I'm not disappointed with mine at all. Far as getting an AT&T branded note you'd probably have to sim unlock the device to use it on a Canadian network.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Edwii:
I was referring to the 8.4tab and 8.0 note.

You remind me about my nature, bang for the buck, is probably the biggest factor.

I guess it will come down to which ever one I can save the most on, relatively.

I find when entering the $300+ for a tablet, I get in the zone for I might as well upgrade my laptop instead.

Thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Spidey01:
Not sure about GPS other than it works fine on Wi-Fi.

Video decode in my experience is good, it can generally play most Blu-Ray video fine via MakeMKV (Basically decrypt and remux into Matroska). YMMV with subtitles and audios and third party apps. It's not as powerful as a Snapdragon 800 but very nice (and has more codec support than my Nexus 5 when both are compared at stock).

Can't say anything about USB audio out as I've never dealt with that.

If you only care about HSPA+ service anything supporting 1900 / 850 Mhz will work and as far as I know all cellular ready models support those. I don't know about the LTE bands up there. Unlike us in the USA, Canada pretty much uses the same frequencies for all the carriers.

If you get the AT&T model you will have to get it SIM unlocked by AT&T before hand. I am not sure that can be done from Canada rather than while on AT&T's network as I've never tried it. Typically you have to stick in a SIM from another carrier and enter a code. On T-Mobile with my Galaxy S3 it took a few weeks to get the code via e-mail after supplying my data via phone; YMMV. You would want to SIM unlock before rootinng; bootloader unlock is different than SIM unlock; and custom ROM's don't SIM unlock your device.

If you want 8" and a S-Pen you have no options. Only other alternative would be an Tegra Note 7; I believe they've started making an LTE model but I'm not sure. Personally if you don't want the pen, I'd go with the Galaxy Tab 8.4 Pro because it's got a more powerful processor and a higher resolution panel. If it's all the same to you by all means save money. The Note 8 is likely at it's end of retail life pending a newer version so prices are going down (at least in the USA they have; my fiancee got hers in Alberta last month for $349 and I think they're now $329 here in Georgia).

Feature wise is probably improved MultiWindow mode and anything you like about Samsung's 4.4 tabs that isn't available on 4.1/4.2 era devices like the Note 8. I'm not sure what functionality we're getting in our 4.4 update (AFAIK 3G and Wi-Fi, not AT&T model).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Edwii:
A funny thing happened to me last night.

For the longest time I was under the impression that NON-RT Windows tablets were quite expensive and quite large. Then I find out that there are 8inch full version windows tablets with decent specs and a reasonable prices.

So in short now i'm after a windows 8 tablet, the lenovo miix 2 and thinkpad 8 being my first choices.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Venue Pro 8.0 would be my choice.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Edwii:
I had one for a day before I returned it.

First of all it has no GPS, so right from the start it got eliminated from my options.

Secondly it's speaker is TERRIBLE, even at full volume It was barley audible in a quite room. With my Air conditioner on i couldn't even listen to a movie. I don;t know if the lenovo has better audio but can't be much worse if anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Hello. I am using an Acer Iconia Tab A500 and I am trying to install OmniRom but recieving error status 7. The post said it is required to use CWM 6.0.4.5 which I have installed right now.

The OmniRom I am installing is this. The recovery can also be found in there.

EDIT: Fixed by copying to MicroSD card and flashing it from there.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
Looking for a quick fix here as I can't go to the service centre and get a replacement until at least Tuesday, and I need my phone working before then. I'm hoping someone else has had the same problem and can help me out.

My Moto G froze and became unresponsive (while I was refreshing my Gmail inbox) and it would not accept any input. I held down the power button and the power menu opened, however when I tried to power it off, it wouldn't accept my touch input. So obviously the next course of action was to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to force a reboot. The Motorola logo appeared and the phone vibrated... then it did nothing.

I tried this a few times and still nothing happened. I am able to boot into the bootloader, but apart from that, the phone goes only so far into the boot cycle before the screen goes black and does nothing.

Motorola's website suggests that if the Moto G becomes unresponsive, and the regular 10 second reset doesn't work, you should hold the power button for 120 seconds and keep it plugged in to a charger. This didn't work either. As of right now, my phone is just sitting here on my desk with what I would call a 'black screen of death.' Help would be appreciated.

I cannot boot into recovery, I cannot access anything. The phone is stock, unrooted, and running KitKat 4.4.2 without any modifications whatsoever. It's about 5 months old now, so it's still covered by warranty and I don't want to void it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echui2014:
Can you boot into bootloader mode and use adb command from a pc? If yes, maybe you can try to flash a stock recovery img file via your pc to phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
Would that require unlocking my boot loader though? I don't want to void my warranty, especially considering I did nothing to the phone and it's currently unresponsive.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echui2014:
I am not sure - but my guess is that bootloader needs to be unlocked to install custom recovery to "recover" & backup userdata before flashing the entire original stock firmware; that's usually the first step we see in all those modding guide in different forums online.

How to get into safe mode

** I am unable to post outside url yet.**

I suppose you can also contact motorola support to see if they can help you recover your data before getting the phone fixed or replaced under their warranty program.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lsdyna:
Hello,

I followed this post to root and install TWRP recovery on my Sprint Samsung Note 3. The root procedures went well, showing rooted successfully.However, I installed TWRP recovery using GooManager, and also tried installig through Odin.

It shows that TWRP recovery is successfully installed, but I am not able to boot into recovery. The phone seems to try to boot into TWRP for ever.....

Later I read this post, which says that Do not try on Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware!

IS my issue due to my rooting and installing TWRP are based on 4.4.2 (my phone is having new NC5 OTA update)? How shall I do?

Thank you very much for your helps!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] brejzek:
Did you fiqure it out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doubledragon5:
You should be suing TWRP 2.7.0.1 and do not use goo manager.. Go to their site and click on the alternate download.. I do believe TWRP mentioned they disable the goo manage download because of issues.. Make sure you are also choosing the right phone.. I have choosing the wrong phone more than once.. Also when your done flashing in odin, and you reboot into recovery manually, make sure you wait until you see the line about recovery, before you release the 3 buttons, or you will just boot into your desktop.. Also you can use TWRP on KItKat firmware as many have done so..
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xxdakyddwestxx:
So I originally got a gold HTC One M8 and gave it to my girlfriend because I really wanted the gunmetal grey one and was going to use her upgrade to get it. But luckily I got wind of the H/K HTC One M8 and waited a little while for that to release. So basically I took the SIM tray and sd card tray and swapped them between devices. I must say the black trays look very good on the gold M8 while the gold trays on the H/K M8 look alright but because the Golds are different (Champagne vs Amber) it doesn't look as nice.

Sent from whatever New HTC device Sprint gets lol.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xxdakyddwestxx:
Yea it looks so good on the Amber gold M8. So good it should have been stock design. Wonder how the gunmetal would look with the black trays?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pwrdbykyank:
Nice, i may try that on the HK we did as well. With the gold top n bottom on the back and the htc logo.

Also the gunmetal grey front speaker covers/grills go better with the HK edition since they are closer in color to the antenna lines on the back top and bottom than the gold front speaker covers are.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mowgli_writes:
Device: Note 10.1 N8013 (Wi-Fi Only Model)

The Problem:

The device randomly reboots itself- it's happened while I was scrolling between pages on the launcher, connecting to a WiFi network, and sometimes even when the device was just sitting on its own.

So far, it's happened on every custom ROM I've tried (Omni, IOKP, IOAP and CM), and even Stock TW flashed via Odin with and without a PIT File.

The duration between reboots is inconsistent, but it's always a full reboot- suddenly back to the Samsung logo and then the ROM logo, beore the system loads up normally.

Probable Causes (my best guesses):

Apps are almost definitely not a cause, because I only install a handful (ES File Explorer, GoldenDict, AnyMemo, Mantano Reader, Skype, Manga Watcher, Opera Browser, MXPlayer, AdAway, Greenify and Helium backup).

***One particular event sticks out to me though: early on when I first got the device, the battery ran out, and I had to leave it as is for 2 weeks, due to some family issues.

My Questions:

1.) How would I go about diagnosing the cause of the random reboots?

2.) Could the extended Battery depletion described above be the cause of my instability issues?

3.) If my current battery is indeed the problem, should I buy a replacement from NewPower99? I am worried that since the Note 10.1 is a 2-year old device, a Li-Ion Battery sitting on a store shelf for such a long duration would be no better than the stock one I have now.

Note: Unfortunately, I waited too long and the tablet is beyond its Warranty Date, so sending it in for repair/replacement is not an option. :(

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'd really appreciate any help/advice you can give! :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badralamoudy:

I have the same problem The device randomly reboots itself

but the battery life is better that the stock ROM for me and the sound too

replace the battery that my advice for you

goodluck

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mowgli_writes:
Thank you

Thank you, badralamoudy. It's nice to know I'm not alone with this problem. :( Two quick follow-ups though:

1.) Which ROM are you using right now?

2.) Have you replaced the battery on your device? If you have, did it fix the random reboot problem?

Thank you for trying to help. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badralamoudy:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
when you flash back to stock. Do you let google play reinstall your apps and data.

My Suggestion is flashing back to the latest Samsung full firmware . Then Do not let google play reinstall your apps or app data..

Install only one at one day See how it does . another the next day and so on

OHH After you flash the new stock firmware . Reboot and do a factory restore .

I have had this issue with my nexus and other devices when i flashed alot. I think its just left over data or something corrupt you are restoring
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPYWARE_Holdings_Janath:
im curious if there is any way to push "su" to the the system?

i mean cmon there are pleanty of KITKAT 4.4.2 fastboot files.

i have tried pushing "su" maually with "pwn" exploit.

tried with following exploits

-psneuter

-pwn

but no luck there.

any one pleaseeeee...im dieing here..

our system details.

- LOCKED BOOTLOADER ( :( )

- KIT KAT 4.4.2

- Blur_Version.183.46.10.XT907.Verizon.en.US ( KDA20.62-10.1 )

what i tried is

adb devices
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 pwn
$ ./pwn

( NO LUCK GETTING PERMISSION AFTER $ ./pwn )

At this point, the exploit will run and close the shell. You will need to run these commands to restart the ADB server.

adb kill-server
adb devices
Now comes the moment of truth. Use the

adb shell
command to open a shell. If you see a "#" sign, you have root access, so go ahead and continue to the next part.
If not, you can go back and try the previous steps again

We now need to make this root permanent. From the root shell you just opened, type the following commands.

# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb reboot

gys lets make this happen any how.....lets roll...

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Every root method I've ever found for KK requires an unlocked bootloader, and I'm talking about looking outside the box at all different brands/models of phones too. I guess Google finally figured how to lock things up as well as Apple. I've read XDA user "jcase" had discovered a KK exploit that works on some Motorolas, but he's keeping it secret for some mysterious reason and will be presenting it at a Black Hat conference. Why anyone would rather help companies than consumers is beyond my comprehension, but it is what it is.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:
Every exploit has two sides to it: it can be used more or less legitimately by users to obtain root privileges, but it can be also abused by rogue apps to gain control over someone else's device.

When you find an exploit, the sooner you publish it, the sooner it will be patched in a firmware update, making it unusable any more for gaining root privileges. And since you've published it, the bad guys can make their use of it as well.

Patching existing vulnerabilities by companies is natural and essentially made in favour of user's safety.

The specific timing of releasing details about some found vulnerability can be part of a tactic - you can give users a window for gaining root just after a specific expected firmware release for some device. If an exploit is published too soon, it will be patched in an upcoming firmware update and no one will be able to use it for rooting...

[Sprint LG G2] sabooakhte:
Hi There,

I bought a Spring LG G2 LS980 on ebay with an non-working backlight with cracked screen. At the moment, I thought that the screen was broken beyond the LCD and that replacing the Screen, LCD and Backlight it would work. So I bought a new screen and replaced it like any other G2, but now the phone turns on and sounds tell me the phone is working and responding to my touch, but I can't see anything! The status LED is my only indication if the phone is off, booting, on or charging. Is this a software issue or am I gonna have to replace more chips? Thanks,

Sincerely,

Sohaib

EDIT: So i did some testing around, and it seems like the flex assembly with the power buttons gets super hot when the phone is supposed to be on. When I press on the lower right contact between the screen and the assembly, the backlight flashes for a moment, so it looks like the connector is damaged. It is a hardware issue. Thanks,

-Sohaib

[MX Player] dafunk60:
I've been a fan of MX Player as it plays anything I ask. I purchased the pro version some time ago. Unfortunately, network streaming has taken a turn for the worse as of late on all my devices. I've done the usual stuff like uninstalling & reinstalling, clearing app data, wiping the android cache's ect but nothing seemed to help. Almost all my usage is network streaming so this is causing me some frustration.

I ran some tests and found that when playing the same test file from either my DLNA Server or SMB Share, MX Player would pull a constant 40-60 Mbps while other media players (VLC, VideoPlayer, VLC on PC) would only pull 40Mbps bursts of data every 8-10 seconds. I'm wondering if this could be causing the stuttering playback & very long seek times I'm experiencing with with MX Player. I can let MX Player sit there and try to play for 5 minutes and it will pull enough data to have downloaded the test file several times. MX Player does play the test file wonderfully from my SD card.

I've attached graphs of the network traffic, each represent a 120 second portion of time beginning with the start of playback. I see the same results with a Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.2, HTC M8 running 4.4.2, and HTC One X (Evita) running 4.1.1.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

What are you using for DLNA? If you're using something like BubbleUPNP, I would expect that app and it's server software to be able to give MX a complete stream without problems. SMB share lag is a known issue of MX player, as highlighted in my list of bugs and feature requests sticky thread.

Sorry if this i inapropriate or something, Just have some questions:

1. Is it possible for someone knowledgebale unlike myself to write a simple how to, step by step on the generic process of upgrading the hermes ROM. Maybe it can be a sticky then, i know there is lots of info but i feel that maybe it's not easy to decifer it all.

2. Does upgrading you ROM void the warnty, be it if you bought a tytn direct or your on an Orange contract etc.

3. Can the m3100 be upgraded without sim unlocking?

4. Which in the opinion of the mass's, is the best ROM choice currently?

thanks all.

Instructions are in the wiki, the process is quite simple, download exe file and double click on it, connect your PDA using usb cable, click "next" 3 or 4 times and that's it.

If you get an error during the process, do not disconnect the device and follow detailed instructions in the wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

Yes, it voids the warranty if you flash a ROM which is not an "official" upgrade from your vendor for your device.

That is... for example if you have a TyTN and upgrade to Imate ROM, it voids your warranty, but it does not void it if you have a JasJam.

yes. Added this as a FAQ.
