[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] OSM:
Hi all,

What are the differences between the different WM5 releases (Helmi, Logout, Midgets, TuMa, ArtZ IVAN)?

I'm new with the WM5 for BA, and I'm not sure what image/version should I use.

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
Use helmi's.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] PPCNUT:
Yes use Hemli.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xan:
yep, ATM Helmi's relases are the best.

Just decide between AKU 2.6 and 3.2 one.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] OSM:
Hi,

As I see Helmi's should be the best release (even though I don't know why).

So what are the differences between 2.6 and 3.2 releases?

Is only bug fixes and patches?

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Helmis releases are the most new ones, so i advice you to use them, or if you are experienced you can try to build custom rom using bepe's wm5 kitchen
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
they are identical in terms of bug fixes etc, the only difference is the core OS portion of the ROM. AKU 3.2 is the newest and contains a few new features but the PIM management is different and programs like MS voice command and PIM management apps dont work, this is why the AKU 2.6 was made, for compatability with these apps.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Helmi's are the most recent and incorperate some recent revelations by the folks here that have greatly improved the performance of the phone. You picked a good time to drop in... ;)

2.6 and 3.2 refer to the actual internal revision of windows mobile 5. Think of them as service packs. 3.2 is newer and in theory should have less bugs*, but there are incompatibilities with some software such as one of the voice commanders.

* I work in software and even I am laughing at my own statement!

I've been using my Amazon Fire TV for about 2 weeks and love it. netflix was working fine. Today it will not complete loading anything. Just hangs there. Nothing has changed since yesterday in the setup.

Any ideas?

thanks,

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arunningpir8:
I don't know if this will help or not but assuming you have already cleared data/cache I had a similar problem where Netflix would do the same thing before eventually saying to try again later or try another video.

My solution was to use a new HDMI cable. I don't know why Netflix doesn't give you a more helpful error message but such is life.

Hope this helps!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] junglebungle:
I'm after a new tablet and was thinking about getting a bay trail windows 8 tab such as the dell venue 8 pro but I don't think I need windows 8 on a tab, so was thinking android, I already have a nexus 5 and I use that ALOT to do most tasks on so figured a nexus 7 will be suitable and bigger screen etc.. Just bit worried about performance as the nexus 5 is clocked higher and it has the adreno 330.

Should I get it?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Rahul721:
I think you should buy an 8 or 10 inch tab. 7 inches is bigger than the Nexus 5's display but you dont really get a true tablet feeling. The nexus 5 and 7 are identical in more ways than they are different. It will just be like using your nexus 5 on a bigger screen.

Then again it depends on the type of stuff you do on your tab. For me, i would love a 2nd gen Nexus 10
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] junglebungle:

If your going to get a 7 might as well wait a little bit to see if they drop the 2014 edition(nexus 8?)would like to see a new nexus 10 tho
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cowbutt:
I've just bought a 2013 Nexus 7, in spite of knowing that a new tablet is due soon. My reasoning was that I liked the form factor of the current 7 inch models (variously, the new one is 8" or even 8.9", which strikes me as a bit bulky and likely heavier), I got a good price on the 32GB model (£169.99) and the new model will probably be much more expensive. 64 bit doesn't strike me as being terribly useful yet, though 3GB RAM would be nice to have.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] popozao:
Same here. I just bought the 32gb one on eBay for a good price and because the 7 inch fits in my purse whereas my previous 9" tablet was kind of a drag to lug around (oh what a difference a couple inches and a bunch of ounces make). But, I also only use mine for reading, note-taking, and checking my email. 64-bit may not seem useful now, but who knows what cool things people will come up with in the future? Buy a 2013 Nexus 7 if you like the form factor, if you have simple needs, and if you're at all cost conscious. Otherwise wait for the new ones.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Rahul721:

Hey, I am planning to buy an Android tablet. Nexus series is the best among Android devices - but I am looking for a 8 inch screen.. I read about Nexus 8. But it might take a while to come to India. I saw Dell Venue 8, it is perfect for my need, but it has no guarantee about future Android updates and its development is not very active. So any suggestion?

fyi, i got my 32 gb dell for 199.99 and my 16gb nexus for 144.xx. both on great sales.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
Even though I like the big screen of the 9 I've just updated to, it feels a bit half baked compared to the 7. Issues like chrome tabs refreshing and launcher redraws make the 7 a much better device for day to day use. If the 9 is at the right price, pick it up. At its original price, stick with the 7. :eek:

If you live in NA,

http://store.asus.com/us/item/201502AM140000008/A18484

take look on bundle setup, one of my co-worker bought it too

within $200.00 deal you get pretty much everything which I think it's great deal ever also it's new one so the warranty is working too!!

in my opinion nexus 7 is best bang for buck but for performance wise I suggest Nokia N1

I'm using 2 nexus 7 2013 one with LTE as car dash replacement and one as kindle replacement at bathroom:p

it's really good tablet for the price but the screen and sound isn't really much to compare for the N1. Since N1 is another budget tablet I like to share my experience of two tablets.

I like to read on nexus 7 but prefer N1 to watch stuffs.

best bet on N1 you can find on expansys usa.

http://www.expansys-usa.com/nokia-n1-wifi-tablet-black-32gb-279644/

I've try ebay many times to get best deals but it's hard to find this days also usually reasonable price one is used and new one sometime has higher price than Amazon.

Here is some more words about them from my experience

Nexus 7 pro

cheap price

Wireless charging

able to flash tons of ROM

fresh build of Android promised for 3 or 4 newer generations

easy to handle one hand

N1 pro

better screen(bigger and sharper) and sound (it's only one sided which is at bottom but much louder)

intel atom 64bit cpu does decent performance to run Lolipop haven't had lagging or slow issue yet usage over 2 months

premium looking design/build(aka iPad mini imposter and well, it's from Nokia)

USB C type reversable connector
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jonnyredcorn:
I would still buy one. It basically is slightly bigger Nexus 5, so some may argue get something bigger otherwise it's not worth it. However when I'm home I use my Nexus 7 to do whatever I would do on my phone because

1. It has a big beautiful screen.

2. Performance is great, I flashed a custom kernel (elementalX) and over clocked to 2ghz.the

3. I'm saving battery on my phone by using my tablet

Also Marshmallow breathed new life into my Nexus 7, not that it really needed it but lollipop was sluggish on my flo... Marshmallow is very snapy and with doze my battery life lasts much much longer. My one complaint with the Nexus 7 and Android in general has been stand by battery life.

Guys I have a question, I am looking a tablet, a "cheap" one.

Around 100-120eur.

So far I've seen this options:

- 2012 Nexus 7 (around 80-90eur used, some real cheap like 50-60eur with some cracks on screen)

- 2013 Nexus 7 (around 115-150eur used)

- Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176CX 16Gb - 120eur new

- Vodafone Tab Prime 6 - 130eur + points on vodafone

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone2=5600&idPhone3=7232&idPhone1=6412

I like the fact of having custom roms, kernels etc, but I am little afraid of having worn out battery or any deffects.

What do you guys think? As phone I have a Sony Z3 Compact (4.6) and as computer a Lenovo X230, so I think 7-8' would be ideal. It is only to read some books and some finances maybe.

I had a Vodafone Smart Tab 4G for a few days and enjoyed it:

http://www.gsmarena.com/vodafone_smart_tab_4g-6903.php

The tab prime is the same hardware on 10.1 I guess.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] daion:
Personally I'd like to tell you don't even think about Nexus 7 2012 on your wish list it's really crappy build quality but the 2013 version revamped all the negative from old 2012 so best bet is on 2013 if you are thinking 7 inch reader friendly tablet that does get Android system update often if you are consider about them it's only choice to go.

Also I just take look on the compare chart, I don't know the ppi doesn't bother you at all but it is one of big thing to me since I like to use it for watching little clip or preview photo on it anyways under 300 ppi isn't really crisp image you can get also the 300 is highest for human eyes so more than 300 is over kill actually on small phone or tablet screen.

I've post about some suggestions here so I don't have any other suggestion really depends on what are you going to use you may need different size of tablet.

< 7 inch good ideal for reading or surfing, < 8 inch or greater still better for watching stuffs of course the ppi has to be at least 300 or more.

so I vote for Nexus 7 2013 to you. Hope you find good deal.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
The internal memory is really really slow on the Nexus 7 2012. I wouldn't recommend this tablet irrespective of price. Nexus 7 2013 is excellent. The Asus & the Vodaphone may have good specs? but don't expect any updates in the future. If you want to go down that road, also consider the LG V500 or even better, the V510. All the other LG's are inferior.

Just my two cents.....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skinniezinho:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skinniezinho:
In the chasing of a tablet I had the chance of testing a 2013 nexus 7 (6.0 fresh install ) versus a 8' Samsung sm-t330. I have to say that the nexus is blazing fast and the screen is gorgeous. But 8' is a better size in my opinion. An 8 nexus would be top. A LG v500 with ROM or v510 will be the closest we can get I guess
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CaNANDian:
I was waiting to be able to use ElementalX kernel, I guess it was updated 2 weeks ago. Going to install tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
Agreed, I like my LG X8.3 8", the screen isnt as bright as the Nexus though.

The Nexus 7 2013 does have an awesome screen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
Yes I agree. The screen is better on the Nexus 7 2013, even though its smaller. I'd say the 7 is about 15% better when talking about screen quality. Its only when you put them side by side that you see the difference though. :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MidnightDevil:
To be honest unless you require a bigger screen, 7 inches are very good for most tablet operations. Also, the Nexus 2013 is still blazing fast even comparing with latest tablets and hardware. I don't see why not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Diesel47:
Its like 150 bucks.

Why not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Cazteclo:
I have had a N7-13 for two years and I see no reason for upgrading. The battery life was getting a bit bad but since the upgrade to marshmallow the battery is back to lasting like it should.

Admittedly then I have to clear the devices cache every now and then because it does get sluggish from time to time.

The N7 functions for everything I need it to do, the screen is brilliant and the size is perfect, in the sense that it is neither too big nor is it too small.

If I were to buy a tablet today I would provably get the N7 again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hilker09:
I also have the 16GB wifi version of the Nexus 7 2013, and the marshmallow update has improved battery life, and made it buttery smooth. Hard to believe I've had this over 2 years. Quite a good deal for me!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hking0036:
It's still going fairly strong and you can get them for pretty cheap used now, but honestly it's starting to get a little older, and it might be worth waiting to see if they put out another one if you really want a 7" tablet. The rom support is definitely pretty great, though.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] painter_:
I just got a 2013 LTE version for 60 bucks. Good enough to toss in a bag and use for movies / music / reading on the go.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
In some ways I agree but in others don't.

The increased screen size and 4:3 make the internet so much better. Things like tap to wake and always listening are also good.

On the downside, Chrome performance is an absolute joke. To make the tablet perform reasonably, you have to tweak the dpi to 288 and use habit browser. Once you do this, its like surfing the internet on a PC. Performance wise, I'd used the word, "overpriced," to describe the 9.

The sweet spot would be the Nexus 7 2013, with an bigger screen, SD800, tap to wake & always listening and a price tag of $200/£130.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aiiee:
No argument, I actually pulled the trigger during the recent HTC sale on the 9 ($300) but thought better of it and sent it back. I don't need the hassle :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] trhacker01:
I still think n7 2013 is fantastic. Although hardware issues are discouraging. Mine has started going unresponsive to touch every so often. I have to pop the back off and mess with the silver strap then its good again for a while. Even though it's aging, and despite the hardware shortcuts taken by Asus, I absolutely love my n7 and will stick with it till it dies. Perfect size, plenty of processor speed, beautiful resolution, and extremely versatile. Plus so far it still gets the OS upgrades- happily on marshmallow now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Masteryates:
I understand why you did that. I nearly did the same myself. If you get another cheap N9 in the future though, adjusting the dpi and disabling chrome then configuring Habit, (there are a million options,) is about an hours work.

In your shoes, I'd also be looking out for the LG V510, (V500 GPE.) Even though its also only a SD600, its not underclocked like on the N7 and has tap to wake, an IR blaster and a SD card slot. :victory:
