[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtoj34:
Hello XDA, I don't often venture out of the branded device forums so here goes nothing.

I have chronic nerve damage in both of my arms (primarily right arm which is my writing hand). I am going back to school this year and the pain seems to be getting worse. The most painful thing for my arm is without a doubt writing, and I am filing for a 504 plan to allow me to use some other method of typing besides writing.

So there's the back story, now here's my question.

I need a device (not necessarily android, but a tablet is one of the main contenders) that can give me a solid writing experience (keyboard or bust, a keyboard cover/accessory will suffice, but NO on screen typing), offer an all day battery life, is portable and easy to store, and can also double as a media device. I am sort of on a budget, but am already in the market for a tablet so I'm willing to spend some extra $ on this. 600$- maybe $800, preferably less obviously.

Note, I probably won't have internet access during school, so DRM is out of the question.

So here are the candidates.

Chromebook - don't know what the stance on DRM is for these nowadays, but I would love a Chromebook as they are cheap, have nice typing experiences, and have great battery life. Again, if anybody can pitch in on DRM for the Chromebook that would be great. All I need for school is a writing supplement so a word editing software will work fine. I'm also aware that you can install Ubuntu on a Chromebook and Ubuntu has the libro office.

Android tablet - I love android, and was very close to buying the new shield tablet a few weeks ago. I'm glad I didn't because that device doesn't have many solid accessories currently, but a device like the nexus 7 probably does. However, the writing programs on android are really lackluster and don't offer the precision of a real laptop

Surface tablet - this one is kind of a long shot, but if for some reason the school requires a windows os (which could be possibly) I would choose this over a standard laptop because it doubles as a tablet.

Cheap windows laptop - this one is self explanatory, a cheap run of the mill windows laptop would type fine, but would be dead useless to me outside of school and I already have a laptop (a Toshiba satellite that is massive and has a terrible battery life) for home. Also the tablet would probably be slow and have a terrible battery... and yeah, windows.

So there you go. Thank you for reading this, this is very important for me right now as starting school again has out me in a tremendous amount of pain from writing, and I would love to find a solid supplement that meats all of my goals.

Thanks,

William

Does anybody here have a keyboard accessory for an android tablet that they could recommend?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
Hi,

I'm sorry I don't have any answer to your question, but since you're on the topic of typing and nerve damage, I thought I'll let you know about the Typematrix keyboards (http://www.typematrix.com/) that offer physical, ergonomic-layout keyboards such as Dvorak, Colemak and BÉPO, which are all designed to ease the pain (and up the speed) of typing. Learning to (touch-)type efficiently takes 4-8 weeks depending on the layout and the keyboards themselves aren't cheap (= in the $100-120 range), but if you value your health, I think it's worth it. Plus, the washable silicon skins are über soft and silent as well ! ^^

(I'm not affiliated with Typematrix in any way, but I give kudos when deserved :) )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGGYVIP:
Hi Dude

i guess there is many options to choose since the market is huge

i would suggest something like this : 10.1 Inch Tablet Pc Intel Atom Baytrail-T Z3735D 1.33Ghz Quad Core DDR3 2GB SSD 32GB Dual Cameras Ultrabook Win8 it comes as a tablet that you can attach to a base (proper qwerty keyboard and stand) 32gb storeage about $400

or this : samsung XE500T1C windows 8 Quad-core is equipped with a keyboard Bluetooth/WIFI *same kind of a deal but 64gb storage and more slick and "known" device about $600

and if you feel that you might need more than that here : Intel Core I5 + 4G DDR3 + 128GB SSD+ Bluetooth+3G * this one is about $730

also since u have one m8 you can have look at the app i use for documents WPS Office: PPT, DOC, XLS, PDF

and here u have a solution in case you would like to get any other tablet SEARCH FOR TABLET CASES WITH KEYBOARD :)

all these links work but i mainly gave them as examples since you might be able to get them devices locally/cheaper :)

Hi, I tride to desable the Lookout Security from settings/aps and it was grayed out, turns out that first you have to deactivate by going to settings/Security/Phone Administrators and unchecking the Lookout Security. Then u can disable the whole app from settings/apps. This might help some people.

Hello

My note 8 bricked yesterday without any known cause and it was stuck on the galaxy note 8 start screen when I started it and clearing the cache and resetting it didn't work either so I downloaded an official firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it via odin.

the problem is I downloaded 3 different firmwares(4.4.2 and 4.2.2)from the website and every time I got like a watermark message and I can tab through it but it is really annoying and it is on the home screen all the time , I don't know what is it and I tried clearing cache and user data from recovery too but it didn't help

N5100XWDNE2_N5100OJVDNE2_XSG

N5100XWDNF1_N5100OJVDNF1_XSG

and another one I can't remember because I deleted it the first time

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot mate it worked , but still have a problem , the sim card isn't working it says that network can't register , did I miss anything?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cjegan2008:
I have a question, but I need to give some info on my situation first. I used to have a HTC One M8 from T-Mobile, and because my Wife lives in sonoita Az, the only decent carrier that works out there is Verizon. So I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. My experience with Verizon in the short amount of time that I've had with them, is not very good to say the least. So let's say I switched back to T-Mobile, but didn't return my Verizon M8 or my Note 3, could I still use it on T-Mobile since its unlocked, or would they flag my IMEI number like they do with ESN numbers and so that I cannot use the phone anywhere, or what ? Please let me know what you think....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Slacker101:
Last I heard even if they blacklist your imei on Verizon it'll still work if it's a 4g phone. That being said Verizon blacklisting your phone from them should have no affect on whether it works on T-Mobile.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
As long as it's not blacklisted for lost or stolen it will work on tmobile
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cjegan2008:
No, it's not blacklisted as lost or stolen. I just don't want Verizon service anymore. They do not have unlimited data for LTE for sale anymore that's why I'm going back to T-Mobile. T-Mobile may not have the best coverage, but I like their plans and their customer service a whole lot better thanks Verizon's.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
You can Google tmobile imei check and run the imei and it will tell you if it can be used on their network.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
If it comes back blacklisted, you can still get the imei repaired which is legal because your bringing it back to the original carrier, but they just past legislation making carrier unlocking your phone perfectly legal. Many larger phone repair places can do imei repair, there are some on ebay that do it also, some can even do it remotely for you over the net through the teamviewer software.

I've love to be able to use my P535 in english as well....it's a terrific unit, I'm just not that great with Chinese.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greatbal:
official WWE 3.32 available for download at asus site.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jollyeskimo:
all I see is:

and all the .rar archive contains is some vague instructions in chinese....and a 37k ov2 file (which I assume is a POI overlay for TomTom)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greatbal:
that's odd. i just downloaded 3.34 FR and 3.32 WWE, and Radio 4.5, BT Patch, and i see a lot more old ones.

Maybe we are looking at two different sites. I'll PM you...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jollyeskimo:
Are you sure you're not thinking about the P525 instead of the P535?

Guys, keep tracking... Asus released updates for chinese HK and Taiwan already: P535_V4314CHT_HK.rar and P535_V4314CHT_TW.rar

at their ftp site. As they already have advertisement for english version, soon they will release! (finally!)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mc108:

Hi guys

do u know if there is something new about the english ROM?

I understood that it is available at Malaysia...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] renatobaldo:
I also saw people selling at Ebay english version... weird that still not avaliable ROM... :-(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
Nothing weird.

ASUS only places downloadable ROM on support site if it is an upgrade.

Since they disallow to install ROM on different language device, they see no need for making downloadable original ROM available.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] renatobaldo:
Nobody made ROM image yet? I think will have some similar procedure to change ROM language as did in P525 soon, right?

Looking for a (close to) 100% stable rom... I know, this is not a good question on XDA. Its for a desire S for my mom. Doesn't really mattter if its stock, ICS, JB or whatever. Not even sure if its worth it to root. Or you can send me in the right direction about Android or Sense version.. All help to narrow the ROM selection would be great..

Saw you guys are reviving development for this phone. Good luck with that!
[HTC Desire S] bomil:
SVHD. Smooth and stable, only need to freeze "myhub" app, because It's now paid app and make fc.
[HTC Desire S] DragonFatura:

Try CoolDroid Revolution rom or SVHD rom. Both are very stable.

Try to stay away from 4.2.2 roms. the battery especially for this device is bad

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1rdc:
Yeah, that happened to my phone too. Take out the battery and see if it's swollen up. If you've been using this battery for 1-2 years, it's probably time to replace it. If it is swollen up, try not to use it anymore, it may be dangerous.

And to prevent your new battery from dying so fast, try not to charge your phone while you're using it.

Hello guys,

i'm here to find the service behind the quickcircle case, I want to know wich app activate it or manage it.

I changed the resolution of my G3 and the quick circle is quite messed up. i'd like to add the app in the App Setting so it can look as usual.

So can anybody help me out?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstretch:
Very intersted in the lower resolution option to save battery. would you post back your findings if you can get the majority of the LG apps to work? namely the Quick Circle case app, and the messaging app that you have to use with it, to see your mesages.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thil3000:
Well for the resolution i put 1080x1920 with 480 dpi with Nomone

After that installed xposed with App Setting and change the dpi of the lg app (like phone, message, etc.) to 530, which is the minimum for the lg app.

Also, you should change the launcher for the Nova launcher

For the quick circle im still trying to figure out wich service/app it is running

The game poppy pop is working great even with the lower resolution.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protonus:
You ever find out the answer to this question? Or anyone else know?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thil3000:
Yeah sort of, but it's a bit disapointing. I found out that the quickcircle is actually implemented in the launcher or something like that like suljo said, making it very hard to get to change its resolution. I eventually got a new phone and stop looking into that.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiggity:
Hello. Back when the HP TouchPad was being developed for actively there were developers that were able to get native Linux distros booting on it (like Arch Linux ARM and to some extent Funtoo Linux ARM) and I got an idea...

Would it be possible to get an ARM Linux distro (preferably something Gentoo-based) booting on the LG GPad 8.3? Its hardware is excellent, and I think it'd run the Linux environments really well. KDE Plasma [Active] would be perfect for its nice hi-res screen. I'd be willing to help with the development of this project, though since I have almost no coding knowledge I can mostly only offer beta testing.

Anyone interested in helping me with this?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] matt310:
Just picked up an AT&T One M7, and wow, the screen temp is incredibly warm compared to my G2 and just about everything else I use with an LCD screen. Is there an app/rom/kernel (or any combo) out there that will back my screen away from the warm tint? Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Solarenemy68:
The warm tint is supposed to be correct and true to real life colors and what you actually see. Why would you want to stress your eyes by making the colors unnatural and harsh? I wish more companies would make their LCD's this way instead of the artificial over driven blinding harsh colors.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rubencarmona:
I calibrate my Nexus 5 with the SpyderGallery app. You just need a Spyder sensor... It isn't really a calibration in the operating system. But it will show the right colours opening images in the gallery of this app. This helps me when showing photos to my clients.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] matt310:
I wish manufacturers would give consumers the choice. Clearly there's a variance in panel manufacturing and factory calibrations, even from within the same display supplier. To me, warmer, yellow screens looks dingy and dirty, and not what my eyes are used to when reading web pages. So the warmer temperature may actually have the opposite effect on my reading comfort. Nokia has begun offering an in-OS setting on WP devices that helps correct minor variations - and I'd love to see other OEMs follow suit.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] thamizha:
Hi all,

Strange problem. I had PDAMobiz 2.3 ver 1.02 on my phone and decided to upgrade it to PDAMobiz 3.2 3231. Upgrade went through fine but I got an error about Capnotify.exe. I thought it had something to do with the ROM version so decided to redo it. I downgraded to NoVendorID ROM and reran the upgrade. Good news - no capnotify problem. Bad news - no other apps also.

The programs from EXTROM also don't seem to have been installed. When I manually copied and ran the ExtROM unlocker cab file, I can see the Ext2 folder but it's empty.

Anyone knows how to re-install PDAMobiz and get the apps back?

regards,

Thamizha
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] thamizha:
Figured it out - here's the way

Figured it out with some trial and error.

Copied the ExtROM files from the RARSFX exe file to my SD card and ran them one after the other. Looks like the ExtROM has the shortcuts and the ROM has the actual runtime files :-)

thanks anyhow. Hope my problem helped others.
