[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~ Lily ~:
Hi,

I've been wanting a tablet for a while now, and I have my eye on the Nexus 10, it's reasonably priced, and has been since it came out, it has an amazing display etc. etc.

But it's really quite old now, I've looked around and there's very much mixed views, I know exactly what I want from a tablet, and I was wondering if the Nexus 10 would be perfectly fine. I know the 2nd Gen. version is supposed to be coming out soon, but if this tablet does everything and want and is cheaper, what's the point in buying the newer one?

Anyway, basically I want a tablet that can easily to the following things:

Browse the internet

Watch movies

Browse Facebook

Be easily able to use Instagram

Easily able to use Snap Chat

Play games

Easily customisable (eg. Home screen backgrounds)

Have a decent front a back back camera

Updates to the latest version of android as soon as it's released

Feels good in the hand

Looks pretty good

Decent battery life

I'm pretty sure the Nexus 10 should be fine for most if not all of this, but I thought I'd check. One thing I think might help if you think I could get a better tablet for a decent price (preferably no more than £300) is that I really like the shape on the Nexus 10, but I really hate the shape of the Nexus 7. I don't know why, it's just one if those things I guess.

Thank you :)

You wont find a better 10" tablet within this price range. I still love it, its fast, has a monster gpu and decent battery life for me. Dont forget the 2560*1600 pixels screen..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CazeW:
For the price of N10, I seriously doubt there's anything better. But if you can throw in more money, I'd seriously consider waiting for the Galaxy Tab S with its 10.5" 2560x1600 AMOLED screen. *drool*

You won't be disappointed. It will easily do what you want, except maybe, not get any/many more updates.

Thanks Devs, from my LG G2

And yet 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 rolled out updates?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matejilic:
Those are minor point updates. I also think the Nexus 10 won't receive many more updates. Maybe 4.5, but that is a big maybe because they already omitted some aspects of the 4.4 update (transparent navbars and art).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoisright:
It's Googles only 10" tablet so far. I highly doubt they will not add lollipop to it. It's not like they have to rewrite software like the other companies have to. Just work on the binaries and it's good to go.

But I'm optimistic they will continue the updates. They have for the n4 and n7 which both have had new versions come out.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matejilic:
Agreed, I also think they will add the next update, but that will be the last one I'm afraid. Also, I think that the next one will be last for the Nexus 4 as well. Google maintains the software for 18 months, and that expires this month for the Nexus 10 and 4.

First off, I Used Vroot to Root my phone about 2 days ago, Installed SuperUser and all was well. I never tried transferring music before I Rooted it either. Now when I Connect it to my PC, I Installed all 3 Connection Methods Software, and my computer even says LG-P769 under Drives, but when I try to use Windows Media Player to Sync music It just gets stuck on 0% and nothing ever happens, I then tried manually transfering the Files into the MUSIC folder on the internal storage of the device, and at first a popup window states" You can transfer these files but your device may not be able to view or open them." I then click ok anyways, and it also just gets stuck on 0%. Is it the Root stopping me from this, am I missing something here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chrispyutec:
Does anyone know if it's ok to restore a backup form Kies to get my pictures and music? I'm rooted and running a custom rom form the international threads. I'm not wanting to restore firmware or anything like that, but I was wondering if something would get screwed up if I was to install another rom and then try and restore my pics and such.

Basically I'm wanting to use Kies as a way to sync and store all my current stuff just in case I lose something when doing tweaks and such.

Thanks in advance for you time and help.

Hello,

Trying to make a custom rom for a device i just got (it has no specific brand).

Tried dumping with romdump but boot.img was empty, so i had a look around and finally queried mtd:

cat proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00040000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00040000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00500000 00040000 "kernel"
mtd3: 00300000 00040000 "ramdisk"
mtd4: 0aa00000 00040000 "system"
mtd5: 04000000 00040000 "cache"
mtd6: 10800000 00040000 "userdata"

In all exemples i saw there was an entry with the name 'boot' and neither 'kernel' nor 'ramdisk'.

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2

and

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd3

are not recognized as valid by the kitchen.

I am guessing that somehow if i managed to merge kernel and ramdisk i would probably get a proper boot.img but my (maybe wrong) thoughts stop right here.

Has anyone seen such a case before?

thanks

Aftermath

Finally, few month later, I was not dumping the right partitions and my kernel was corrupt. I also found that working in a Linux environment is much better and less error prone.
[One (M8) Accessories] GoBears:
Well today while plasti-dipping my rims, I dropped my M8 from about 5ft right perfectly face down onto the edge of the concrete curb. The phone made the disgusting pop sound that I'm sure we all know and my heart sunk. When I picked it up the the glass was indeed shattered. I didn't think there was any way the Nillkin could've saved my display. Very much to my delight once I peeled off the Amazing 9H, my screen was perfectly unharmed. My slim armor took a few deep knicks in the bezel and the Nillkin cracked but the phone is perfect. Anyone on the fence about tempered glass, don't hesitate. Get it and install immediately. There is no way in hell a normal film protector would've saved my phone from sure disaster. Also the Nillkin has a film layer which keeps the shattered glass intact and easy to peel off. I really super highly recommend the Nillkin Amazing 9H tempered glass.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
back ground... For years I have used the native file play back capibilities of my LG BD390 and LG BD570 bluray players to connect to windows file shares, and play back video files (AVI, Mp4, MKV, M2TS and others). Basically, I setup a shared folder on my PC, put my media files in it, and used the menu on the BD's to connect to the share and play the file. No DLNA, no transcoding on the fly, etc.

I want to add that ability, along with netflix and amazon instant video, in two other rooms, but all the bluray players I can buy locally use DLNA now. There are some I can get mail order, but they are more expensive too.

If it matters, most of my MKV's were made using BD-Rebuilder or VideoReDo TVSuite. Some do have DTS, others DD5.1. The M2TS files were made using my Sony HDR-SR11 HiDef camcorder and my Hauppauge HD PVR (1212).

Output would be HDMI to a TV. If it works well enough, I'd get one for the basement too (where I'd hook it to a receiver via optical audio).

I know the Fire TV can be setup to do Amazon Instant and Netflix. But can it be setup to replace the BD's (minus bluray/dvd playback of course). To play those files without having to transcode, or use a DLNA server too? Could I possibly use Rhapsody too?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireTVnews.com:
The Fire TV currently does not natively support playing videos of any sort from a shared PC folder. I am not aware of any "official" apps that do it either. By "official" I mean apps you can download from the Amazon appstore which display traditionally in the Fire TV "app" section. That said, there is XBMC (xbmc.org). XBMC runs beautifully on the Fire TV. You have to sideload the app, which is a simple process and does not involve rooting. The biggest disadvantage to XBMC over an "official" app or native solution is how you have to launch XBMC on the Fire TV. Instead of just going to the "Apps" section on the home screen, you have to dig down into a few menus. Specifically, you have to (from the homescreen) navigate to Settings > Applications > XBMC > Launch. It's a minor inconvenience, but it's worth mentioning. There are ways to make launching XBMC easier, but they are a bit of a hack involving other sideloaded android apps.

With XBMC you can do everything your BD players could do. HDMI and Optical audio are available on the Fire TV. Multiple options for getting to your media over the network are available. No transcoding or DLNA necessary. MKV's play fine. DTS and DD5.1 get passed through correctly. I've never tried M2TS files myself, but I would be surprised if XBMC couldn't play them. If you provide me a link to a M2TS file, I'd be happy to try it out for you. There is no official Rhapsody app. You can sideload the Rhapsody app for Android, but you will have to use a mouse & keyboard plugged into the Fire TV to use it. I would expect Rhapsody will make a Fire TV app eventually since they already have a Kindle Fire app.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayth:
Tbh I was in the same predicament as you a couple of months ago. I wanted a tablet for pretty much the same reasons as u as I'm working away from home quite often.

I've already got a Nexus 5 purely for stock android, timely updates and a great device at a great price so I thought I'd check out the Nexus 10 first. I stumbled across Expansys selling the 32gb model for £255 whereas it was still down as £390 on the playstore and I'm pleased to say I'm chuffed with my purchase. Even the tab is quite old in tech terms it's still fast, the screen is amazing and I got 4.4.3 automatically yday.

I rooted both my devices today too so that's only improved the experience. I would recommended getting the 32gb to be on the safe side but unfortunately Expansys only seem to stock the 16gb version now. However ebays worth a look, I got my dad a mint 32gb nexus 10 with a case for £260.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

AFAIK Kindle Fire HDX also run FireOS, which is the customized version of Android by Amazon, so I don't think you'll have something too different from your current Fire. I'm not an expert on FireOS though, the best would be to find some reviews and videos about it, then you'd have a good idea of what you'd get ;).

Usually I read from Android Authority, here's their tablet review:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarge101st:
So a little backstory on this device. I initially had a NIB Verizon Note 3 I picked up in March. I unfortunately caved on the KitKat update a few weeks back and like many immediately regretted it. I went ahead and made a call to Verizon tech support complaining of connection issues which eventually led to a replacement device being sent to me free of charge. I happily booted up and ensured to choose "install later," on the KitKat update which lasted about 3 weeks before I couldn't take it anymore and rooted.

Now here we are. I rooted the Note 3 this week using VRoot. Amazingly simple BTW. Thank you VRoot for that. After rooting I froze SDM to disable the constant download and update reminders as well as going back into the system files and deleting the saved update. At this point I went ahead and conducted some of my typical root behaviors that I used to like to do with root phones. I deleted all bloatware apps and installed Viper4Android.

Since then I've noticed a dramatic drop in battery life. I'm guessing the Viper4Android is the culprit. I chose "Super Audio Quality," when I installed the drivers and made the usual choices of clarity, bass +, etc. Has anyone else noticed battery drain using Viper? My battery is down to 32% and it's only late afternoon. Normally at my usage I can get to the late evening before I reach that point. Any help or guidance on this is appreciated. My stats on battery are below for the day.

Battery is currently 32% with 8hrs 27m and 56s on battery

Screen: 41%

Media Server: 25%

Youtube: 13%

Reddit is Fun: 5%

Android OS: 5%

Cell Standby: 4%

Android System: 3%

Frostwire: 3%

Device Idle: 2%

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeftyGR:
There are a few other things it could be. Google search and play services, to name a few. What is "media server"? Never seen that on my list. Do you stream or sync music/video from something with that? If you click on that heading in the settings/battery screen, it will drill down and give you a list of any programs that falls under that heading (like Android System, for example). If there is no list, that means it is only one program (like Facebook or Google search, for example).

[Motorola Droid 4] meybivi:
Hi folks,

Yesterday I got my droid 4. It had terrible rom in it!

So I decided to wipe all data and flash a stable rom. This is my first motorola phone, accidentally I wiped everything including clockworkmod, safestrap, everything :(

Then I had battery low problem. After 1 night searching all the internet I cound't find easiest solution than making factory cable. Today I made a factory usb cable, this one solved the low battery problem. I'm able to flash via RSD Lite now

I downloaded and tried to flash latest rom from this page- http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=11

RSD gave me this error "failed flashing process. 20/25 system "system.img" - usb error occurred while reading/writing"

I tried to flash by running RSD lite administrator rules. I updated version of RSD nothing helped. It always stuck step 20 while flashing system.img (I have windows 8.1)

I thought may the file I downloaded is damaged. md5 checking is normal. File was okay.

Then I downloaded oldest ICS rom and tried to flash it. RSD gave me an error while flashing. I googled the problem and figured out that I can't downgrade android version.

So here I am, I don't know what to do guys. I just wanna use my phone with a stable normal working rom. Can be official stock rom, doesnt meter. I don't need root permissions. All I need is unlock simlock, because I don't live in USA.

Please show me the way to get this fastboot screen off from my face :D

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] meybivi:
What I tried recently,

Tried to flash all stock images - all of them fails while flashing system.img

Tried to flash on 3 different computers. One of them runs on windows 8.1, other one windows 8, last one windows 7 - nothing changes

Tried to flash manually with fastboot by following xml file. Gives "too many links" error while flashing system.img file.

Tried to flash system.img file using mfastboot.exe - nothing changed

What I'm doing wrong with this system.img files? No matter how im tring to flash it. Just something goes wrong :/
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Which bootloader is it on?

Can't downgrade stock android version

Safest to use newest xml /firmware version

Make sure you install Motorola drivers first, and verify by opening device manager, and checking they are Motorola drivers being used.

[Motorola Droid 4] meybivi:
Yes I was trying to flash latest xml firmware. Drivers are okay, I can flash some files in xml firmware fastboot works pretty good. But somehow it stucs while flashing system.img :(

Keep giving "too many links" error. I'm downloading Live OpenSuse to try on linux also. I hope this will solve my problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] meybivi:
Solved! I also tried to flash system image on Linux (Ubuntu) I got an another error (no such a device)

Then I read somewhere that prolem could be the cable. I made my factory cable which seems terrible as I said before :D But I had to use it otherwise I was getting battery low error.

I did little trick. I switch on the phone into Ap Fastboot Mode with original usb cable and ac charger connected. It said "battery ok". Than I plugged out the usb cable from ac charger and connected to my computer. And started to flash images iimmediately using fastboot.

Using fastboot is impotent because if you use RSD Lite to flash images will cause to restart your phone after flash each file. There are min 10 files to flash any xml stock firmware. Restart causes to get battery low - cannot program error again. So you can flash all files manually.

Or export the stock firmware zip file. And find the xml file in folder. Open the xml and delete all restart commands between flash commands. I think you can finish flashing all files in this way without restarting.

May you can remove battery and charge it out of your phone and try to flash rom with charged battery and quality usb cable. If available order a brand new motorola factory cable or make a beautiful one not as same as my terrible one :)

Anyway I hope this going to save someones time to solve problem. I spent almost 3 full days to solve this. Finally I'm texting with this lovely droid 4 keyboard :P
