[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coresplinter:
Personally I'm just going to get the wifi version since there will be wifi at the places I mainly go to and in worst case scenario I can tether using my S4. I really don't see a need to get the LTE version and pay more monthly (unless when the devs here find a way to make calls with this and you want to make calls and stuff?)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caelrie:
Why not just tether it to your phone? Tethering to another android device usually doesn't count against a tethering limit.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzmachine:
It has tended to be the case in my Samsung tablet experience that there tends to be more options when it comes to rooting and custom ROMs with the wifi varients vs. carrier tied lte variants. A personal example: I first got an lte AT&T Note 8 due to a promotion that they had at the time. That tablet ended up getting stolen, and I replaced it with the wifi version. Looking back, while it sucked shelling out extra cash for a replacement tablet, my experience with the Note 8 was MUCH better due to the ability to easily root it and a couple of really nice custom ROMs that are immeasurably better than the stock ROM, while I don't think there even are any ROMs that can be flashed to the AT&T locked-down version. I think it's rootable, but that's a relatively recent development for a device that's been out as long as the Note 8 (I think, there's a thread on the subject but I haven't looked at it).

Of course, the my take on the matter is really only relevant if you plan on rooting / modifying the device, or at least having the ability to do so, the wifi variant (or international lte version, I guess) seems to generally be the way to go.

I'm lusting hard after the Tab S 8.4, but I'm going to wait a while and keep an eye on this subforum mostly to see how development goes, and a price drop or sale would be nice when that starts to happen for these. If I end up getting this tablet (seems likely, the specs are pretty much exactly what I was hoping for in the TabPro 8.4), I anticipate that I'll end up getting the wifi version, even if I have the opportunity to get the lte version for the same price (I'm on T-mobile now and they had a promotion where they were selling the lte variants of the Samsung tablets that they had (which sucked when I checked it out) for the same price as the wifi variant with 2 GB free data or something, but not sure if that's perpetual). I now have a Note 3 and Note 8, and I really only use the tablet at home, but if I wanted to use it elsewhere I would just tether it to my phone with unlimited data, and all is right with the world :)

tl;dr IMO the wifi variant is the way to go so that your device isn't tied to any carrier and likely more modifiable, if you care about that. If this was a major decision that you were making that I completely solved and/or you're ridiculously generous, PM me for my address for pre-ordering purposes :p
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbrown:
I'd wait to see if the devices are rootable. I imagine that if the specs are close enough, I'd go with a Nexus 8 for the dev support. Failing that, go for the GPE version of Galaxy S.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmunjal:
I would love to see a GPE version of the Galaxy Tab S LTE. I don't know why it's so hard to find an Android tablet with LTE that isn't owned by the carriers so I can get decent updates. All the international versions never support the proper LTE bands. The Nexus 7 LTE is the exception. I also have the AT&T Note 8.0 and the lack of updates is more than annoying.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Feeshie:
I have been having this issue with CWM ever since I updated CWM, and I can't figure out how to solve it. I'm running CWM v 6.0.4.5 and Slim Kat 3.8(don't want to update until problem is fixed).

Errors:

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I've searched and found a few solutions:

1) unmount and mount SD card(didn't work)

2) go back to stock (my last resort)

3) wipe cache(didn't work)

There's a lot of threads about this issue, but I can't really find a solution and most cases their S3 can't boot while mine runs perfectly fine. Any advice would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Helps if you tell us exactly what you want to do, and exactly what you are doing and have done.

All I can say from your posted info is can you not just mount /cache and then access the files located on it? Did you try going back to the previous version recovery? Have you given TWRP a shot? Why are you trying to mount the individual files/folders? Maybe I missed something, but Im not sure what you are trying to accomplish.....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Feeshie:
Those errors appear when I enter CWM without doing anything. It started appearing after updating my recovery and flashing Slimkat.

Woops, it's actually:

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oh, well thats weird! I would try a previous version of CWM, try TWRP, and/or try a different kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
CWM does that. It's harmless.

I'm pretty sure the issues I had with d2tmo TWRP have been fixed, safe to recommend. Switch to TWRP. Also good ROM choice.

hey guys i wanted to start developing on linux but i have windows 8.1 as my main OS many people told me not to instal linux above windows cuz it might cause some conflicts ..

so i found the virtualbox as many people currently use it .. now i have few questions :

My specs : 16 gb ram , windows 8.1 , i7 3770

1: What's the best linux destro for developing?

2: Can i develop applications on virtualbox?

3: If so .. How many gigs of ram required for it ?

4: And finally is it better on a virtualbox than installed as main OS in matters of performance (lagging, speed, crash)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acudor:
bump
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
To answer your questions:

1. The best Linux distro for developing is a subjective argument but the most widely used for Android development is Ubuntu.

2. Yes, you can develop applications on Virtualbox using either Eclipse or Android Studio, or elements of the NDK. Linux on Virtualbox gives you the same features a native Linux install does (Except for the way drivers are handled, and other things like that).

3. I would recommend giving 8-10 GB of RAM to the virtual machine you set up in Virtualbox to maximize performance, and minimize compile times.

4. While performance is always better on an native install, however Virtualbox is an excellent mature virtualization product and offers great performance for what you want to do. I have a virtual machine on my laptop running Ubuntu set to use 2 cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 300 GB worth of hard drive space, and it runs very smooth, rarely if ever in the year plus I've run this setup (Ran a similar setup on my desktop with lower specs for years before) has it lagged or crashed.

If you have any other questions let me know I'll be more then happy to answer them.

whatever i ask you about anything from now on, u need to know that i'll always want to say: thanks alot shimp u've answered so many riddles in my mind and yet u still want to help, sadly i can't give u more than 1 thanks :D

now about ur virtualbox u said u have it using 24 gigs of ram, will i need more than 10 ? cuz i might upgrade my rams soon to 32 , and also my cpu has the i7 3770 with 8 cores will i need to set it on more than 2 cores ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Glad to help my friend, it's the XDA way and the right way in life in my humble opinion. As far as needing more then 10 GB of RAM, no you won't specifically need more then 10 GB of RAM but the more RAM you have the better, what you can do is set it at 10 now and then if you upgrade simply power off the virtual machine, go to the settings section for that machine in virtualbox (Click on the virtual machine you want then the settings button), the system tab and then under the motherboard tab adjust the RAM amount, re-launch the virtual machine and away you go. I believe the i7 3770 has 4 cores and 8 threads, so I would recommend setting it at 2 cores you shouldn't really need to set it on more, also remember to enable in the virtual machine settings, under the system then, acceleration tab the hardware virtualization options for better performance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acudor:
u're right about the i7 , but the OS reads those threads as cores not threads which gives me the opportunity to set rendering on 3dsmax for example on 7 cores and leave one core for pc usage

so i believe that the VB can also read them as 8 cores ? no idea but if 2 cores makes no noteable difference than 4 or more then its cool

easy ubuntu setup

You can install Ubuntu on Windows like any other application, thanks to "Wubi"

Easy and secure way to give ubuntu native access to hardware.

You will have :

- Dual-boot of fully working ubuntu and windows.

- No conflicts nor damage to windows or partitions.

- Ubuntu can be uninstalled at any time.

Good luck ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
In 3dsmax, Maya, etc. that works but in Virtualbox it won't let you do that as it won't let you set more then the actual physical number of CPU cores your processor has. But, again leaving it at the 2 cores should be more then fine for this situation. On a side-note adding on the the post below yours, while Wubi is good for people who want to experiment with Ubuntu for doing intense tasks the Wubi installation method doesn't have good performance and can cause other headaches down the road.

[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] ferraritm:
I just gotten this Sony Xperia T2 Ultra D5303 device. Although the "Bootloader" is locked, so far so good for the speed and memory. However, I require it to be able to connect to LED SMART TV thru MHL HDMI, but I realize that the "MHL TV-Out" option is disabled in the Service Menu (dial *#*#7378423#*#*).

Any ideas how can I enabled it? If I unlocked the Bootloader, will it help? Or if I do a "Reset Customization" on the Service Menu, would it help? As I am not famiiar with Sony Xperia on how it works, I dare not try. Please refer to the attached screenshots.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] papapena25:
I want to start fresh and keep s-off, unlocked bootloader,perm root and twrp recovery. Whats the best way to do this? If I ruu back to stock, my device will keep s-off and unlocked bootloader right? Then I can just flash twrp again and perm root right? OR Can I just boot into recovery and clear data and cache? I've had samsung phones for the past year or two so i'm not used to HTC methods.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] papapena25:
BUMP
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gonzo237:
If you want to wipe everything you could just do a factory reset. I soft bricked my phone a week ago or so and just did a complete internal format then adb sideloaded a new rom. Kept root, unlock, s-off and recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] papapena25:
so your saying i can just go into settings and do the reset there and I will keep root, s-off, unlocked bootloader, and twrp?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fLaWx:
Are you already S-Off with a custom recovery? I would just go into TWRP and do a clean wipe then install a stock rom....but to answer your question yes a RUU with take you back to stock (stock rom and recovery, it will ALSO wipe your SDCARD) but you will remain s-off, then just flash a custom recovery again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] papapena25:
Thanks guys. I got it. I just didn't know if I would lose root doing a regular factory reset. I did factory reset in recovery then rebooted. I kept root, s-off, unlocked and twrp. I get it now. I'm sorry. the last time I messed with a HTC phone was when I had my rezound but that was like 4 phones ago.

I mentioned "RocketSauce83" for the mod and I linked to your original threads. I explained Im drowned in LG widgets and apps and that it was just experimenting with various LG files.

It was never my intention to praise this as my own work and I explained that right in the 1st phrase as well, that I did not make these.

Sorry for doing a rush job and forgetting to place your name next to your original threads. I was just too excited about the fact, that a mix of a modded G2/G3 Launcher and the "old" weather apk by you would work on my p920, as all other LGHomes/Launchers failed.

Ill added your name next to your threads and at the top of my initial post. Have mercy, Im quite new to this.
[LG Optimus 3D] Jishnu Sur™:
My friend i am not blaming you or anything but if am not wrong Its only me who has ported the home and widget to work with other devices. Well, i dont know when did rocket sauce port it but its ok, i dont need credits.. everyone knows who ported them.

you know the thing you have installed is my launcher V1 and it will take me 2 mins to prove it. You tried my launcher and it was rebooting because i had the theme separately. The one u are using right now has the same theme included and updater script edited. I would please ask you not to share my work without my permissions.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
Ok, do I get your permission linking to your great work ?

I tried your V1 back then, yes and it restarted.

Im not sure I fully understand your "it will take me 2 mins to prove it". Do you say I did something evil ?

But Now I use your v4 in combination with the KitKatMod launcher, that I also got here from xda, from some G2/G3 thread and Im really really sorry that Im not able to find the original post of it. (it was the 1st post of a thread)

please understand.
[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
I dont have enough knowledge to explain why this "stolen" launcher worked with your v4, while I had problems before, but I believe you that RocketSauce83 probably stole your work here.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uchihamonkey:
Today is the very first time ever for me to root an android device and thank God it run perfectly.

Now i am using AIC kernel for V500 4.4.2 stock ROM. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741405)

Gamma correction in it really improved screen and picture quality. (plus 8000 antutu point increase bonus)

Before, i can barely see anything in Bloodborne trailer video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G203e1HhixY)

Since i cant post in development thread, i hope i can find answers to the followings:

Is it possible to further improve gamma in the future?

Even though currently gamma is improved, but the brightness level issue still persist. Is it hardware or software issue?

Is there any possibility for brightness level improvement in the near future (kernel) update?

All in all, i really like my G Pad and really hope for the possibility to receive screen improvement update in the near future.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
I heard a week or so ago through the grapevine of a version 20d coming out pretty soon. I have held off making any other changes to the AIC kernel until I see what LG did(no sense reinventing the wheel).

What brightness issue would you like changed? I know in general people think the Gpad screen is dark, but some of the AIC kernel users think the lowest brightness is too bright as well.

I think the screen is pretty bright at 100%, so for me it's a software issue. That's in 2 places, the kernel backlight driver, and the ROM brightness(think brightness slider).
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uchihamonkey:
Tks for the reply and also thank you very much for the kernel, it really is helping a lot!

Rather than issue, i should have worded it as G Pad having a relatively low brightness level/dim display.

Compare to my nexus 7 1st gen, G Pad at 70% brightness level still not as bright as nexus at 30%.

Actually i dont really mind it, 70-80% G Pad brightness level is my sweet spot.

However, it would be great if the number is 30% rather than 70% (i am just feeling paranoid of having big number for a display setting).

I also realized that colours (might be) a bit off, especially red that looks orange-ish.

In general display seems lean toward yellow (yellowish-white).

Wonder if this is a common thing for all unit?

Hopefully it is just a matter of colours calibration that can be solved through software update not a hardware characteristic.

I tried Screen Adjuster and added more blue and red, but i just cant seems to find the proper setting to create a whiter white or redder red...

All in all, it is nice to hear version 20d may be coming soon.

Hopefully LG will address all these screen related things.

Also, really look forward to your another great work, especially when LG get it all wrong again this time:p

[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
Are you a mechanic? That color had to some from somwhere and to me looks like motor oil stains.

I have a motomaker phone which (i believe) is a different material. It picks up grease and oils easily, but a quick wipe down with a paper towel and a small amount of window cleaner gets it looking like new.

Ammonia isn't even that great for cleaning greases. 409 would probably work better, but I'd definitely test it out on a small part first to make sure it doesn't hurt the finish.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
At first glance, it looks like the way some "white" plastics discolored after a while under florescent lights. (Think old HP printers, Compaq PC keyboards, and other stuff).

Looking closer, it could just be dirt. Or it could be a combo of both.

I got my Dev Edition for Verizon X in November. I put an Xtremeguard skin (clear) on the back of mine not long after I got my X to make it more "grippy", and I often times use a shell/holster type case.

I haven't noticed any discoloration on mine.
