Hey All:

Is there a general forum or place where people provide recommendations across brands and models?

I'm trying to get a recommendation for a 10" Tablet. It has to be Android, and I need good USB-OTG support. My preference is something with Cyanogenmod (or other custom rom) support so that it will last more than a couple of Android revisions. I'm not hugely price sensitive but want to get good bang for my buck as well.

I'm somewhat bitter about my Sony Tablet S, which was dropped like a hot potato by Sony in the VAIO selloff and has since received absolutely no support (and very limited development, not for lack of trying by very capable developers). So longevity is going to be a key for me in this purchase.

Thanks for any help!

You would like to post your query here in this thread in order to have the best response.

Also take a look here and here too.:)

cheers.

What the heck.

I installed the Google launcher and my camera went all weird.

If I open the camera app from the home screen there is no button to see the video camera or the gallery any longer.

It's like it thinks it open in Facebook sharing a picture where it takes the picture and then the preview shows up with a check and x it only lets you take one photo then closes.

Anyone have this issue?

Cough 20nm cough. "25 percent less power consumption compared to SoCs built on a 28nm process while not compromising on performance."

"the Exynos 5430 supports display resolutions of WQHD (2560×1440) and WQXGA (2560×1600)"

we'll be seeing some pretty nice battery life, from the looks of it.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
Alpha Pro ?

Absolutely. I really like the size and CPU Power-supposedly all these cores can run simultaneously when needed but Samsung

IMO overestimated importance of thin device.

If it was 9 or 10 mm thick and had 2400- 2600 Mah Battery, SD Card and a larger Camera Sensor , USB 3.0 , 3 GIG RAM, the Phone could be great.

I am hoping for an Alpha Pro which features the above in a thicker Device for people who need Power of a Note 3 or Note 4 but are too Athletic/ Active to carry a Phablet .

What do you think-it will cost the same as Note 4- .
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] poch_m:
You should just wait for zerolemon to come out with an extended battery for the Alpha. A 3000-4000 mah battery would last you very long.

If it costs as much as a Note 4, I would honestly rather have an Iphone 6 or an S5(its surprisingly the smallest among the new android flagships).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
Yes, by current Standards an S5 and especially S4 at about 5.4 Inches tall is a fairly small Device.

The Alpha is in another size category , however, as is the Sony Z3 Compact.

When you put an S4 or an S5 in a protective Case, they are much too large for me carry and be active.

The large screens are more fragile also. 4.7" screen is max for me on a 5.2" Device.

Apple used 4.7" screen on Iphone6 but surprisingly Iphone6 may be 5.5" Tall Device S5 Size .

I hope the Devs here come up with a USB Stick back up storage APP direct from phone.

But yes , if I purchase Alpha I will use your suggestion for larger Backplate/Battery.

Thanks.

Hi

I took out the dummy SD card in the slot by the usual methods of gently pushing and it pops out, I then inserted (the correct way round) my new 2Gb card which sounded to click in place correctly although it is now stuck and doesnt pop out the same way the dummy one did (I did not apply any hard pressure). I presume this isnt how its supposed to work and the mechanism has faulted, has anyone else had this problem?

did you insert the microSD with contacts upside?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
I had a similar problem when I first inserted a brand new A-Data 2GB MicroSD. But I've managed to take it back finally, gently pushing and popping it in and out. Then I've found superfluous plastic on the card, removed it, and since then there are no problems. So don't worry about the slot itself until you're sure it is broken ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jeffreyj900:
I am having the same problem. I am sure it is in there correctly, as I can access it. However, I can't get it OUT. HELP!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
If you put it the card in upside down it goes in crooked. If you force it you risk breaking the card.

If you push the card in all the way it clicks gently as it slips in then is retained. If you push the card gently with your fingernail it should go in slightly then pop out.

If you push it in and it goes in by a mm or so but doesn't pop out then something is holding it back. You can try with some needles or safety pins either side to try and ease the card out....

Good Luck. Scary when you've invested so much into these things when they break :eek: :eek: :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dmj1973:
HI,

I had / have the same problem with my new mda vario II. If you look under the battery next to the slot is a small white piece of plastic in a runner. If you gently push that outwards towards the edge of the phone the card will eject. Use a pin or a paper clip.

Could some explain where the excess plastic on the card is so i can fix my card.

Also i am using a Sandisk card if that make anydiff.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jeffreyj900:
Dave,

You are a VERY SMART man! I really appreciate that. Mine is a 2gb SanDisk as well. I have a Cingular 8525. I had it in the correct way, and was able to use the card just fine. It bothered me that I could not get it out though. I really appreciate the response! Oh... I removed the made in Tiawan sticker on the back of the card to see if that would help. It did not, but did expose some copper looking stuff like at the end of the card. No big deal :-)

Jeff
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] spankplanker:
Dead SanDisk.

I also had the problem of a stuck 2Gb Sandisk card in a Vario II.

The card was displaying the same problems described in Legolas's card fix thread, (files disappearing or innaccessable) so I was going to check it on my PC.

Unfortunately, in the process of gently persuading it to come out, I appear to have completely killed it! (Unrecognisable in phone, PC or camera.)

I'm going to try painting the contacts on the card with silver paint in case they're not making contact, but I don't fancy digging inside the phone to bend the contacts there.

Any thoughts anyone?

In the meantime I'll wait and see if the 4Gb card is compatible with the Hermes before I order a replacement.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Hyperbaric:
Is this a problem with Sandisk cards, I wonder? Had no problems at all with a 1Gb Kinston card... pop in a new Sandisk 2Gb, and sticks. Didn't shave off any plastic though, just caught hold of the groove on the edge with a fingernail and pulled on it enough to seat it into the proper 'inserted' position.

After inserting it in the slot a few times, it seems to click into place as it should :rolleyes:

@dmj1973: Have you updated the Wiki with the info on ejecting a stuck card? Would be useful to have it there, if it isn't already :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GreatGrey:
Excellent solution.

I've got a 2 gb SanDisk in a Vodafone 1605 with no insertion/removal problems.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dmj1973:
Hi guys,

Just a quick update. I had a further look at my card. I also removed the "made in Taiwan" sticker. My card ejects and inserts fine now.

Your right about the "contacts" being exposed, though i suspect this won't matter too much as they are covered again once they are inserted into the phone.

I don't believe this to be a problem only with sandisk cards but i may be wrong.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmjaguar7:
Hello XDA,

I have just discovered that the OPO does NOT support MHL OR SlimPort. While this is disappointing it is not the end of the world.

I do however have an NEX 4000 radio head unit in my car which displays my phones apps such as google maps / waze / pandora ONTO the head unit via mirrorlink.

I cannot find any information on whether the OPO supports mirrorlink or not. I would just use HDMI to do full screen mirroring with touch but since it lacks MHL AND SlimPort that is not an option.

mirrorlink is really my last hope to get my phone apps onto my head unit. If I cannot get this to work, well idk haha, its kind of an important feature to me to have navigation on my card head unit instead of holding a phone or mounting a tiny screen to the window.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anox:
Hmm, interesting:)

I don't think OPO supports Mirrorlink.

As you mentioned the HDMI port, I'm not sure if you could make use of Chromecast mirroring for your purpose.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmjaguar7:
chromecast requires a WiFi network to be set up. I COULD use mirracast to stream the visual aspect but I want to use the touch screen on my head unit as well as I don't see the logic in trying to be "safe" by using a bigger screen that I don't have to hold for nav if I still have to look at my phone to interact with the OS.

It seams mirrorlink is really just a software feature (since OPO supports USB OTG its only a sw limit). HTC is "adding" mirrorlink to the one (they just announced this monday). And it seems there are a few ROMs out there that already added the capability to the M7.

Does anyone have any experience in adding software features like this to roms?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anox:
Right.

I have only seen mirrorlink on HTC, Sony and Samsung devices. Looks like those are mirrorlink certified products.

There will be a lot of sw hacking to make mirrorlink available for OPO. But mirrorlink on OPO would be awesome :)

Hey guys,

I've followed XDA forums for years but this is my first legit question that has me stumped (which is why I have to post it here).

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 P607T (T-mobile) (rooted)

Android Ver: 4.4.2

Kernel: 3.4.0-1433887

Goal: I want to run linux on here and it has been the most aggravating week trying to achieve this goal. My preference would be Kali Linux but i can live with Ubuntu or Ubuntu Touch. I can't find a way to make it work. I would like to use it for mobile pentesting.

Problems:

1) I can try to completely change the system img to run it but when I do I get the issue that there isn't enough space where it gets saved. I think its like 2mb and the img file is GBs easily.

2) I tried partitioning my sdcard and installing the img on there to run separately but still no dice.

3)Complete Linux install - I end up getting it to try and run the md5 file but it is always saying that it is corrupt. Tried redownloading and all.

4)Linux deploy - Won't mount partitons no matter how many different configurations I try.

Please HELP ME!!!

Hi

I hope i am in the right Part.

Since one week i have OPO and i am happy so far.

As you know there is no headset incl with the phone.

Now i bought a headset from House of Marley with pause,plus and minus buttons.

plus and minus doesnt work that i know as it is made for Apple stuff.

On the S4 i can answer an incoming call and end the call as well.

On my OPO i can only answer the call if i press the button to end the call i just mute the phone.

Now my question. What is controlling the Headset ? Is it the Rom itself or is it kernel related ?

Would be nice if somebody can give me some advice.

Like we know all CM roms and based have that problem, videos are pixeled if you use Youtube app (v5), or watch videos using web. All except 1 rom, the MIUI of Teddytsen (CM10.1). In that rom videos looks perfect, not pixeled.

I've found a workaround for see video on Youtube (v5, remember) not pixeled. For example if i'm on twitter (Talon app) and there is a tweet with a youtube video, if i open the video itsn't not pixeled. And more, if i open that video link using Youtube app the video neither is pixeled, and now i can see all videos with Youtube app perfectly. Only when i close Youtube app and open it again the videos are pixeled again. Is so strange

Really is not possible fix it? Why MIUI rom hasn't that problem?
