[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marclewe:
I believe you will have a hard time searching a tablet with those spec for that price. Maybe Acer iconia 8 could be a candidate? At least on paper it reads promising.

I and my family using gpad every day for hours and it is just still fun, for almost a year now the ratio between screen size and device size is fabulous. With the plenty custom 4.4.4 roms here you have a good choice, i personally hate the lg original software. But it has some nice features.

However there might not be a lollipop rom soon, at least lg themselves do not tell us something about update...

Still a good purchase i would say

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and I also didn't wanted to spend to much money.

It is indeed the best tablet out there is terms of price/quality!!! No other tablet can beat his one and I believe It will always have good developments here on XDA...

The battery is fair, the screen as great image quality and the build quality is fantastic...

I bought it for £154.00. That was a great deal...

If you don't want to spend allot go for this one... :thumbup:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cinderella17:
Well I saw one for $169.99 refurbished and I think is a good deal... But I dont know if I wait untill black friday, or maybe is this the best option I got.

Also I saw the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T, have some similar spec but is from 2.012, so what do you think? I go for the Lg G pad?

Thank you all :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
No the G Pad 8.3 is much better! Only problems are battery life (about 5-6 hours which is still relevant and low screen brightness), but screen quality, performance and build quality are just amazing! Get a GPE edition G Pad 8.3 if you want lollipop and updates! No other tablets can match the performance given at this price! But seriously take a look at the benchmark beast Nexus 9 and Tab S! Don't hesitate to spend a little more and always try to buy new devices which are more reliable than refurbished! Don't buy a cheap Android model, get problems and then switch to a much more expensive iPad! I know too many people who do that! Experience a top notch Android tablet and you'll not regret it! The exceptions to price are the G Pad 8.3 (don't know how LG made that so inexpensive with that excellent quality) and Nexus 7!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncguy68:
Just bought a second Gpad 8.3 about a month ago. Love this tablet. I prefer to V500 (not Google Play Edition) because it has all the custom rom development. The 4:3 screen ratio of the new Nexus 9 is what turned me off and I decided to get another Gpad 8.3.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubeldum:
Just think of all the pan and scan movies you can watch on the Nexus 9 that are "formatted to fit your screen". :laugh:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colchiro:
Don't buy the TF700T, it's cobbled by a slow storage chip.

Yes, my $200 GPE from fleaBay was lightly used.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncguy68:
HAH. Imagine all the letterboxed widescreen movies that will probably use less screen space than the Gpad with the black bars top and bottom. 4:3 seems like a huge step backward to me.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubeldum:
I regret missing out on the GPE for $205 shipped last month because the GPE will get Lollipop. The v500 most likely wont get it.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colchiro:
I'm waiting to get Lollipop on my old Nexus 7, then quick sell it on eBay or Craigslist. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cinderella17:
Thank you all for answer me, I just found another tablet similar to this so I'm 50-50 about it, what do you think abotu the Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4? It worth to pay more?

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woody1:
Maybe. That's a good tablet. It's your call, really.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmihai20:
I owned a TF300TG. The TF700T has a slow eMMC, but the TF701T does not. I also wanted the TF701T, but then I started searching for a smaller one and the 8 inches seemed like a nice compromise. I just received my G Pad yesterday and I am very satisfied (comparing it to the TF300TG). The Samsung 8.4 inches tablets are more expensive, although the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 does have more RAM (there is a version with 3 GB of RAM) and 2k screen resolution. I can tell you that is is worth buying the G Pad with its only fullHD resolution, you won't see any difference between the fullHD and the 2k resolution. The TF701T is good if you find it at a good price, but the 10 inches really seem too much (at least for me, the TF300TG had 10 inches). Mine was 170 GBP (around 271 USD), new from Amazon.co.uk. Buy a used one only if the price is around 130-140 and it looks really good. If not, just wait for Black Friday.

[Mi 3 General] buggerman:
So, I was trying to access data while on a call and I forgot that I was on 2G only network but it was working anyway, so, I didn't pay any attention to what had happened.

Then it hit me. This never happened on any other phone that I have ever used. How can a voice call and 2G data work together?

Is this working for you guys too?

P.S.: So this is called DTM by the way and no other Android phone I know supports it. But those old Nokia S60 devices supported this. Strange!

I was clearing up stuff on my phone the other day and I noticed that my other storage is just under 15GB, which is almost half of my total capacity and leaves me with just about no space left.

(as I can't post pictures)

it's 1.25GB apps, 6.04GB music, 2.63GB pictures, 3.34GB Downloads, 14.70GB Other, leaving me with only 4.04GB left to spare.

I used the SD Card Analysis in ES File Explorer and it doesn't help me find the problem.

I'm running ViperOne 7.0.1, with the ElementalX kernal, and I'm on Sense 6.0

Can anyone help me find out what's actually causing 15GB to be used up? As I want to put like another few gigs of music on but I can't.

What do people use and how would you rate them?

I've tried searching using the search function, but it says that it can't find any threads with "RSS" or "rss" in, which I find a little strange. Search, also won't find "FTP" or "ROM", I'm not sure why, but it's a bit odd.

I'm looking for a RSS reader with a Today plugin in and will display a single headline at a time and cycle through them. Does anyone have any recommendations or any advice to stay away from certain applications?

I think we are currently on KitKat with our Note 4s. So if root is figured out for current config, just as in the past with other phones, simply block the update app with Titanium and stay on KitKat if this holds true and lollipop truly makes it an impossibility to achieve root from then on.

Just my thoughts.

Can't get drive to work, FC when i open it.

~I uninstalled on ES File explorer on user/system apps, reboot, install from priv-app.

Any suggestions?

Also what do i edit in the build.prop?

edit: messenger works fine, but pressing the 'attach' icon causes a FC.

Other than crashing when accessing album/group folders, music seems to be working too, access music by going on all songs list and shuffle.
[ONE Themes and Apps] xWasabi:
Well

Well I can tell you what I did exactly..

I am running LS OCT21 and using slim gapps.

I don't even edit any build props. I just download the apt through the file manager apk available in play store. Restart the phone and works perfect.

What are you doing ? and what are you running?
[ONE Themes and Apps] tofuboi01:
Cm11S 38R Ak kernel.

I uninstalled the apps in user/system apps on es file manager, rebooted then installed the new apk files.

Drive has problem opening..messenger has problems with attachments and music has problems with accessing album folders.

Music and messenger is fine to use as i rarely use the features that causes the crash but obviously..better if it didn't have these issues.
[ONE Themes and Apps] xWasabi:
Okay so as far as drive is concerned.. Youll need to delete documentsUI apk and the drive apk. Also you need to place the correct .so files into system/libs. You need to locate the lib files first and type .bak afterwards. Then the lib file that you download below needs to be placed into the folder. I recommend deleting orginal apks, restarting phone, then do the .bak for libs, and then copy over the lib files to the system/lib and restart phone. Extract the drive lib zip, open folder, then copy over the libs to system/libs. When you copy over verify that the .so is the same exact size as they were downloaded. They should not be 0.00. Then change permissions to -rw-r--r-- And restart phone.

** Here is a screen record to show you lib files...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ldj4rye6txcnl1/SCR_20141022_074136.mp4?dl=0

** also the calendar app below seems to work place in app not priv-app
[ONE Themes and Apps] tofuboi01:
I uninstalled the old apps, restarted then renamed the libs that was in the drivelib.zip to .bak.. i tried extracting the lib zip and it failed..then trebuchet crashed and boot looped to recovery.

Had to restore system from a backup.

Guess i'll leave these til they are available on playstore. No big deal i guess.

- Hide text on homescreen icons/shortcuts
