[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Nutsonfire:
I also had a GPad before, screen too dark even indoors (basically full brightness for any dark movie), weird sound, blue line when got hot. Not a bad device, but if you can get a regular 8.4 at similar price they are not even in the same league.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] conan1600:
Can you link me to an add that says tab pro 8.4 for 249? Because every add I see is still 329.00.

As far as processor and development go the gpads processor is more than fine. It can also be overclocked. I find that today's apps or even the best games need no over clocking though. They simply haven't caught up to the hardware. I so rarely have any tablet I own above 25% brightness I'm not sure how bright these guys homes are that they can't see the screen. My home is bright enough that I could cut diamonds and I have no issues, ever, with any tablet. The gtab has 348 nits max bright while the Tab pro goes to 450 so the Tab pro is better for outside direct sunlight viewing though. I find it to be better than the Nexus 7 2013 in fact and I love that tablet. The gpe version can use any of the custom ROMs by the by.

As for the pro tab 8.4 I find the hardware great. Mine did develop a stuck pixel however and I despise the speakers being on the same side. The physical buttons are horrible but I overcame that by using pie controls and disabling the hardware buttons.. The build quality of the 8.4 I find satisfactory, however the range and connectivity of the wifi are pathetic. Overall the hardware and screen are better in the 8.4 but if I'm going out I grab any tablet but the Tab pro 8.4 as wifi range and dropped connections are so bad on it.

All this being said, truthfully if I were you...i would wait to buy a tablet all together. In just a few short months or even less there will be a mass release of new tablets. They will all be quite nice I'm sure if you are looking for the latest and greatest, also, it will serve to lower the price of current models. The one I am hoping for is a nexus 8.9 but there will be a plethora of others.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ncguy68:
I never saw the tab pro 8.4 online for $249. Only in store at Best Buy. This was before the tab s went on sale today. Not sure if the $249 price is still good.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] conan1600:
Op if you can find this tablet at the price he saw it at I'd run to buy it. Don't walk, sprint all out. It would be a steal at $250.00. While it has its issues that price point would more than make up for the inconvenience. Not to mention the latest greatest coming soon would never bear out against such a price.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyBiker:
So I'm on the verge to buy a 8 inches tablet and I've come down to a choice between the G Pad and the Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 and would like to have your opinions.

So of course, on paper, I should go with the Tab Pro. Better CPU&GPU, higher resolution, bigger battery, etc. But...the G Pad kinda looks better, has software buttons, has better Roms support (thank you GPE) and is also 150 € cheaper ! I also wonder if the GPE program will allow the G Pad to get updated longer than the Tab Pro.

So is the faster CPU/GPU really a huge leap of performance ? I'm not a huge gamer and will mostly browse the web and watch films.

What do you think ?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I have the GPE (V510), and I too wonder about the performance benefit of the Tab Pro's CPU. Test reports seem inconclusive on it.

As far as ROM support, it is nonexistent on the V510. And it's been about 3 weeks since Nexus devices and GPE phones received their 4.4.3/4 updates, and there's no trace of any update for our devices yet.

I would be interested in a hands on comparison from a forum member.

And please report back on your decision and impressions, whatever you decide to purchase.

Edit 1: 4.4.4 for V510 has been released today by Google.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Sanatrax:
Hi everybody, i'm Riccardo, from Italy, and i've just bought this amazing tablet, Kindle Fire HDX "7.

I've tried to follow the steps in order to root the device, but i think i've screwed up everything lol

It literally won't start, when i push the power button, appears a black screen with only written "Kindle fire", without "HDx" or whatever it was, as it happened before. And this written won't fade, it lasts forever :(

I've tried to reset to factory defaults, with a manual way ( 20 secs double pushing bottons power and up ) but, after the process, it doesn't boot anyway.

Is there some drastic way to reset everything, maybe through computer or usb devices?

I hope I were as understandable as possible... sorry for my bad english :(

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jinda628:
Hey guys. I know there are a lot of threads about this when 10.1 2014 came out.

Old threads seem to be abandoned though.

Is there any fix now to the offset between the tip of the spen and the point on the screen?

I am still on 4.3 so I also wanna know from those who upgraded already to KK if this is fixed.

Thanks guys!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jonling:
There is no offset unless you did something to create it, just reverse what you did. My stock device is perfect...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jinda628:
You must be lucky but there is an offset from the first time I got the tablet about 6 mos ago. It's a known issue when the tablet first came out.

It's not that bad for writing just a bit annoying when you are drawing something.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] BarryH_GEG:
I've never had an offset problem on 4.3 or 4.4 using multiple different S Pens. But I only use the pen in Samsung and their sponsored (Adobe, Autodesk, Polaris, and Hancom) apps. I take that back, I use the pen as a mouse pointer sometimes in Jump RDP and it's fine. If people are having issues with Samsung's apps it might be the pen itself. I got one wet once and it developed a nasty offset. If the problem is in random third party apps it's most likely the developers fault. Samsung publishes an S Pen SDK but that doesn't mean third parties are using it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] AM Radio:
i have zero offset in SNote and Sketchbook using the included SPen (and original nib), running stock KK 4.4, not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Note10.1Dude:
I've never had a problem with my November 2014-purchased model using Autodesk Sketchbook or other apps. I've used a few S-pens and a Watcom Feel Samsung Note model. There is offset during hoover with that, but not once I touch the screen. Perhaps I'm lucky.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jinda628:
I actually looked at it closer and seems like the offset was reduced on the current ROM I'm using. I remember to have like 2mm offset to the top when I was on stock and some other ROMs I tried.

I also have no offset on my Note 3 and the tablet's Spen works perfectly on the phone without an offset but then the phone's Spen also has offset when used on the tablet.

Its a lot less now, maybe 1mm to the top. I'm just trying to ignore the point when drawing or writing and just concentrate on the nib to screen contact. I just hope there's a way to disable showing the point on the screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] luckysoul777:
I know this is an old thread, but there are always new owners to an old device like me. I recently bought a Note 8.0, SGH-I467 (AT&T) off eBay because some note taking review, even though published in 2017, still ranks this 2013 device highly for note taking. Being a 4-year-old device also makes it quite affordable. The 8" form factor is light in your hand and together with a WACOM style stylus, S Pen, is perfect for taking notes except for this 1/16" (2mm) offset to the right. I assume the review was written by someone who has 4.1.2 on his device, which doesn't have this problem.

Anyway if you are unlucky like me with SGH-I467 (AT&T, LOCKED bootloader), *NOT* SGH-I467M (Canadian version, bootloader UNLOCKED), and your tablet came with 4.3 or higher, you are stuck with this problem. You cannot download a custom kernel that fixes this problem. Nor can you downgrade back to 4.1.2.

If you are on 4.2.2, you can still downgrade back to 4.1.2.

I spent countless hours researching for a fix. Some lucky souls have solved it by drawing to the corners of the display in S Note. The theory here is it actuates Note 8.0's automated calibration. It doesn't work for me. Others have tried to toggle the left or right hand dominant setting with success. Unfortunately, such option is not available on my device.

The Reset S Pen app on the Play Store doesn't work either because it is a kernel problem, not a configuration file.

I even popped the cover of the button on the S Pen to adjust the potentiometer, but I still couldn't observe noticeable differences.

The problem with an offset to the right is the ink will be under the S Pen when you draw if you are right handed. It's no big deal when you are writing, but intolerable if you are drawing.

This morning I figure out a workaround I can live with as a right-handed person and would like to share.

Turn your tablet upside down with auto rotate enabled. Your app of course will turn right side up again, but the offset is now to the left instead!

If you are right handed, this makes a big difference because you can now see it. Instead of looking at the nib when you start drawing, focus on the cursor instead when the nib gets close to the display. Now you know when to drop down your S Pen and from where the drawing would start. The cursor would disappear after S Pen makes contact, but at this point you don't need the cursor anyway because you would be following the ink!

If you are left handed, you don't need to turn the device upside down since you can already see the offset. Just re-train yourself to follow the cursor and ink instead of the nib.

Hope this helps!

Like [MENTION=1950715]jhericurls[/MENTION] said, the extra 1 GB of RAM is negligble for now (since the apps are optimized for 2 GB), but the extra 16 GB is huge, if you intend on loading any apps directly onto the phone (not all apps can be installed on the microSD card, so for me this was a key factor in going for a 32 GB model). I've got a 32 GB microSDHC card I am using for my media mostly.

I've done a fair amount of research and am still having trouble getting this installed on an emulated device. I have tried the base adt-sdk images for 4.1.2, 4.3 and 4.4.2 none of which I was able to attain the same "rooted" functionality as a phyical device. Most of the threads I read were a lot like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731095

Xposed always gives me the following error: "Failed to get root access. Make sure your device is root properly and you have not blocked shell commands."

When I

adb shell

into the device I have root@android, so I have access to root. The su binary is in both /system/bin and /system/xbin. I have also tried remounting the /system partition as rw, but nothing seems to help.

I'm not sold on any particualr version of android as long as it is >=4.1.2. I know some SELinux stuff came in at 4.3.

Any help you could offer would be great,

Thanks!
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
It worked flawlessly for me using Genymotion. I'm guessing you're using the normal Android emulator - apps won't get root on that directly and I'm not familiar with it.

You could, however, manually replace the necessary files. I'd recommend changing the installation mode to "Recovery" then checking the flashable ZIP's updater-script and basically replicate it from the shell (the updater-script is a shell script).
[Xposed General] Blackdragon1400:
Where does it drop the script?
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
The script is inside the ZIP, which I think I saved to /sdcard/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/ - check the output on your screen after pressing install, it should be noted there.
[Xposed General] Blackdragon1400:
Alright, I will give it a try tomorrow, and post an update on the results. Thanks for the help!
[Xposed General] rovo89:
Note that there are still a few minor things that are done via root, even when using the manual recovery installation mode. So the app needs to get root access.
