[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintonroche:
I think it has more to do with which OS you like better or which architecture you are invested in at this point as prices are similar. IMO the Tab has some advantages like SD card availability, weight, and size but they are not huge, except the SD thing. Personally I have a deep rooted dislike of Apple from the days when the DRMed music so you couldn't put stuff you purchased on different devices.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeblade:
I got a steal on the Mini 2 64gb way under $400 and new. Got it in Feb this year just before 7.1 ios came out. So its jailbroken. The ONLY reason I bought it like so many others say jailbroken is the only way to go. I would never buy one with out it. I can put different icons widgets blah blah. If it was not jailbroken I might sell it for a Tab s.

Yet I didnt and bought the Tab s anyway. For ME there is just more freedom.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahfathi:
My ipad is jailbroken too but enough lies on ourselves android alone without root has much more freedom than jailbroken ios
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeblade:
I 100% agree.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Update to my prior post. With the $100 trade in offer I went ahead and got the 10.5 Tab S. Glad I did. Colors amazing on this and like the extra size in portrait.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaugerer:
Get the S 10.5 and stick a 128 Gb sd card in it and save all of your music, videos etc on it so that you always have access to them wherever you go and if you need to do a factory reset then they are still available on the device.

Because the iPad has no sd card is a deal breaker for me.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
IPad has a slicker, smoother os and a slightly better app store, but that's about it tbh. You can't use otg usb devices, no sd slot and a more restricted os. I have an ipad3 which I still use, but love the fact I can just plug my usb stick into my tab s and watch a movie or tv episode. Also the amoled screen is amazing. No iTunes to worry about either.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
I only got the tab S 8.4 less than a week ago, was deciding whether to get the ipad mini retina, I wanted the ipad to play one game from teamlava called dragon story, but the developer was more hunger for money with their games which makes player spend alot of money, so I have slowly grown off the game.

With the 8.4 there is more freedom to customize the tab, and with less limitation, and cheap to buy.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
You won't be disappointed
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HughesNet:
HW isn't behind with the exception being the OLED panel itself. The CPU in an iPad Air is much faster then what Samsung uses.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaugerer:
Another exception is running two apps simultaneously on the S 10.5 splitting it's 16:10 screen which is great and would not work on the ipad with it's 4:3 aspect ratio screen.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HughesNet:
Sure it would. Works just fine on the Surface Pro 3 which has such the same ratio. Assuming the iPad were to ever support it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NixxonExxo:
Theres your answer right there. The tab S is the right tablet for you. I'm phasing out my iPad to the tab S just for the media features that it presents. The tab S hardware makes it a winner by far. Buy the tab s before you get rid of your ipad and compare the two and you will know what i mean. If you don't agree with me then you can always return it. Just make sure to check the store return policy first. If games and app is more important for you then stay with Apple.

I have one of the sliver SMW2

I find the sony silver metal bracelet, to me rubbish

does not curl enough around my wrist to be fitted right, and if I take another link out it wont fit over my hand as the release catch only opens half as much as a regular watch strap

I have big hands but small wrists :/

I have this coming

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181266881...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

and the official sony black leather one too, tried to cancel that but was to late

but now I'm reading about these Nato straps ?
[Sony Smartwatch] DeadlyDazza:
Just ordered the black and black & red straps from this seller.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221468144762&alt=web

Look quality.
[Sony Smartwatch] cirian75:
Any idea if it will fit through the gaps between the watch and spring bars?
[Sony Smartwatch] cirian75:
I've cancelled the Hirsch strap to see what the outcome of your strap is like.
[Sony Smartwatch] arkboy4ever:

I got my black metal one on eBay for 15$ and my leather one from a fossil outlet for 5$ there both awsome like sooo good
[Sony Smartwatch] arkboy4ever:

Ther both so cumfy
[Sony Smartwatch] cirian75:
Has it arrived yet ? :confused:
[Sony Smartwatch] DeadlyDazza:
Not yet. Mid week and no, I didn't think about the fit ?, hope it's OK. They are standard 24mm though.

What's the best method of unfitting / fitting straps?

Judging by the looks of that tool I think an old electrical screwdriver I have lying around will suffice. Failing that a paper clip.

[Sony Smartwatch] heyjoe66:
Almost sure that it won't.
[Sony Smartwatch] cirian75:
the gap is quite tight, this 1mm think fitted ok, could go a smige thicker, but a 1.5 will stand no chance

[Sony Smartwatch] fastest83:
Where did you find the metal one that cheap???
[Sony Smartwatch] DeadlyDazza:
Recieved my strap this morning.

Ordered the black one.

The seller messaged me to tell me he was waiting for some material supplies, apologised & offered to refund or provide another half price so I snapped up the half price deal with a red & black strap.

Glad I did, the quality is excellent & the leather looks (and smells) really nice. Stitching is nice & the fit is perfect as when you order he requests the circumference of your wrist so it's a custom fit.

You was right, the strap would not fit with the stock spring bars but luckily the seller provides 2 slightly curved bars with each order which allowed the slightly thicker leather to fit snugly.
[Sony Smartwatch] cirian75:
I have this nice mid brown Hirsch liberty on mine now

suits it well, back of strap is not the best as where ever it was store before O bought it was warm and dry so I had to give a treatment with dubbin, all good now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cjohns8792:
So after I got my s5 from att I immediately realized a weird smudge on the left and right side of my front ear speaker. If I clean it with a cloth it disappears and reappears after some light use. Now I am assuming this may be some way the phone protects the speaker from water. However I don't know if other s5 have this as well. It can only be seen on angles while in a good lit room. Looks like finger smudges but doesn't change shape or form only disappears and reappears from wiping it away. Anyone else noticing this or know what it is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Longcat14:
Nothing like that on mine.

That's weird.... I would go back to AT&T and have them replace it, if it bothers you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ironmagz:
I had never noticed, but just looking up at it now I saw them and wiped them away. I guess I'll see if they come back.

Hmm..

I forgot to ask, what color do you two have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cjohns8792:
Not really a bother to me. You definitely notice it more if you dab a drop of water near it. Other than that it's too high up to notice much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Longcat14:
Yeah, you were probably right, something to do with the water protection. Oh well, if it doesn't bother you, then good. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cjohns8792:
You guys can try this also. Huff onto the phone. Like breathe hot air onto it to make it foggy near speaker you will notice it for sure if your phone has this weird area too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] WizeGuyDezignz:
My original release day S5 had exactly what you are describing. I returned it since it bothered me and this one hasn't had the issue.

I would get a replacement if it bothers you.

If it makes a difference, I have a White S5.

Hi all,

Does anyone else have problems with people not being able to hear them when they use speaker phone on their MDA Pro? I can hear them as clear as you like, they just can't hear me.

It seems like it's something to do with noise cancellation software in the pro. Does anyone know a way to get around this?

Have you tried in an otherwise silent environment? I find the speakerphone on mine near useless unless I shout down the thing almost directly into the microphone and the other caller shouts back.

I'm getting reports that people cannot hear me on speakerphone now. It was OK a couple of weeks ago (well, never got any complaints :) ).

I've installed PocketZenPhone recently, so maybe a messed the settings up :( . Haven't had time to dig into it.

Is there anything you've installed recently that may have changed things (almost impossible to know with Win based systems :confused: !)

Glad I'm not the only 1, but does anyone have a solution?

Xiasma - I find mine worst when the person I'm phoning is in a loud environment. I also find people can hear me better if I turn the volume down.

Lance - I haven't installed anything new for a long time, so I don't think it's something I've installed.

Hi there,

I am currently running RomAur v3.3 rom and my phone does not auto rotate when the screen is unlocked. On the locked screen it does auto rotate but was wondering if there is a way to get it to auto rotate when it is on the unlocked screen. I did not have any issues when I was on the original Sony firmware.

Sorry for the noob questions but any help is much appreciated.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Moozh1:
I am trying to decide between the m8 and the lg g3 for my next phone. I am coming from a galaxy s3. I use the gps on my phone quite often for work. How is the accuracy, signal lock, lock on time, etc of the gps on the m8? On my galaxy s3, it was pretty solid. I could get locks in 10 seconds or less and would be accurate within 10-20 feet. Almost never lost a signal unless going through a tunnel. For those that use their phone gps several times per week, how does the m8 compare?

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Er... simply turn off auto brightness and set it manually??

With root, you can install the Xposed module "Gravity Box", it contains an option to alter the brightness via swiping along the status bar (like on Galaxy phones).
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quipeace:
Even on the lowest manual brightness it's rather bright. Brighter than many other tablets and because of it not as comfortable to use at night.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skogstoken:
The only solution I have found for this is to use an app called screen filter. It works and you can find it on play store.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Screen filter is not so good.

Take ScreenDim. That app is not working via color tricks, but really turns the backlight down.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ricm68:
Can anyone tell me where to get my At One M8 repairs?

I can't take it to AT&T since they will say it's been tampered. I would appreciate any advice because I couldn't get any ROM into it. Only cyanogen would work but no WiFi.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
Not enough information. What about it is "broken" requiring repair? In what way is it "tampered"?

Oh, and HTC will most likely refuse to repair it directly, telling you that if you bought it from AT&T, that AT&T needs to act as the agent for repair. You can always try to head over to HTC's website (I'm sure you can find it), find the support section, and make a support inquiry from them directly.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ricm68:
Well I don't know how but I erased the internal memory completely and now it won't take any roms. No matter what I try in recovery it always fails. The only thing I can install is cyanogenmod. There is no wifi also.

i'll try to go to at&t or htc. I hope they don;t charge me too much to repair.

Thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
Did you flash the google play edition ruu? If so, the phone was repartitioned, and sense will no longer "fit" on the system partition. There's a way to deal with that if that's the case...

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Download the ota update. Extract the firmware.zip from it but don't extract firmware.zip. boot to fastboot.

Fastboot oem rebootRUU

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Do it again

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Fastboot erase cache

Load recovery

Wipe, advanced wipe

Select dalvik, cache, data, system, internal. Wipe.

Put Rom on ext sd card or

Adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/

Install zip this will obviously erase everything on your phone.

Click thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You don't need to repair. You just need to troubleshoot. You are throwing the baby out with the bath water, if you go for a hardware repair for what is likely a software issue that is easy to resolve.

You also need to provide more details, and be specific as possible. Namely:

What recovery and version number?

S-on or off?

What exactly have you tried to flash?

Did you factory reset in bootloader?

Do you have working adb?

What happened when you ran the RUU?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ricm68:
Hi redpoint73, I have twrp 2.7.1.0, unlocked, s-off.And I have adb.

I tried to ruu, then install a recovery, a stock rom and don't know how many things more and can't bring it back. They told me I should install cwm and try from there but don't know how. Please advice me on what to do and if you can, guide me step by step.

Thanks so much for your help.

You wont need the whole thing but some of it might pertain to you
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I've already asked what happened when you ran the RUU, and you didn't answer. Any error messages, etc.? This is very critical information, so its hard to help when you don't provide the answers requested (especially this one).

RUU is meant to recover the device in most cases. So if it didn't work, its very posible you have a fundamental USB connectivity issue. What response do you get when you type the adb command:

adb devices

What happens when you try to install recovery or a stock ROM? You need to give more information and specifics if you really want help.

And "don't know how many things" is not meaningful information. You need to list all the things you tried, and the results. Again, the lack of specific info makes it hard to help. I literally typed more asking you questions, than you bothered typing the answers. This does not bode well if you really want help.

You did not even answer all the questions I asked:

- What exactly have you tried to flash? (list the ROMs)

- Did you factory reset in bootloader?

Who is "they"? Again, you are being too vague.

I am personally more familiar with TWRP, so I would advise staying with that if you want help from me. Nothing against CWM. But again, its just what I'm more familiar with.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ricm68:
I Hi, thanks a lot. I did the factory reset from bootloader and tried to install Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_5.0 and after doing the process it returns failed. Also One_M8_1.54.401.10_odexed and Jmz_M8_StockRootedOdex-ATT and I just tried with cyanogenmod 11. While I installed this in twrp recovery it said failed but when I reboo0ted in stared loading. I installed gapps and now my phone is working at least. But I still can't flash a snse rom or a gpe rom because it fails in twrp.

That's about all I can tell you. Oh, and I see it's in android 4.4.4.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I don't understand how its so difficult for you to answer the basic questions I've asked multiple times now What happens when you run the RUU?

The RUU should restore the phone to full functionality, albeit with stock recovery, no root, etc. (if that is what you want).

Of course, this is not ideal if you want to install custom ROMs (which I assume is the case).

What I would try is to re-install TWRP. I'm not aware of any bugs in the newest version (which it appears you have) that would prevent flashing all the ROMs you mentioned. So maybe its just an improper install:

Re-download the latest TWRP img file. Place file in your fastboot folder. Open command prompt (navigate to the fastboot folder) and type:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(where "filename.img" is the actual file name of the TWRP img file, with no quotes)

From there, load a ROM to your device, boot into TWRP and try flashing the ROM.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Also, it is becoming apparent to me that doing a factory reset in bootloader corrupts the internal memory. My advice is to never do this (factory reset within the OS settings or in recovery if you need to).

But if the internal memory was corrupt, you shouldn't be able to load any files onto the phone (including ROMs). It seems that your internal memory is ok (you can transfer files to the phone, access them, etc)?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ricm68:
The phone was working ok but suddenly wifi wouldn't turn on and mobile network stopped again!!!

I tried to intall android revolution but when it gets to installing the apps is says "set_perm: some changes failed". I click next and reboot and it just takes me back to recovery :(
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ricm68:
I did the factory reset from within cyanogenmod and it didn't wipe it. It restarted back to cyanogenmod. I copied andoid revolution to my internal memory and try to install from there.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You need to try the things I've suggested. I've made some definitive recommendations, and you seem to have ignored them. Honestly, I don't see a point in trying to help anymore, if you don't read what I'm taking the time to post; or you don't try what I've suggested.

Worst case is RUU and start over (install custom recovery again, etc.). But again, I have no idea what happened when you tried to RUU since you

still haven't answered that.

You aren't going to make any progress, if you keep ignoring the advice that is given to you.
