[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Claw22000:
Well as for a waist of money it depends. If you like to lay in bed at night and do some reading watch a show play a game or two, then this is the most comfortable way to do it. Also If you want to be able to look stuff up on the fly while watching TV or hanging out with the family, this is also a great tool. Breaking out a laptop or going to the computer every time you want to do this isn't always the best idea. If you don't feel you will use it for things like this or traveling then might not be a good idea.

I know its easy to say I'll just use my phone. However sometimes its just not nice to use a smaller screen to get things done.

As for worth buying the way your are considering it...

The 10.5" would cost you a total of $590 this way when you can easily find it on amazon or Google shop for $435 - $450. I know not much savings but if you can afford it I would go that route.

The 8.5" would cost a total of $550. That's only $40 less for a much smaller screen. If you want something between a phone and a full size tab then this is a good option. Again online they are much cheaper. I didn't do much research on this as I was only interested in the 10.5.

If the only way you could afford this is to finance it and are going to take the leap go with the 10.5 more bang for you buck in the end.

Just my humble opinion. I'm sure more people will have more incite for you good luck. Love my 10.5 BTW.

Thanks for all the help guys, I picked up a 10.5 t805 lte.

Great purchase, I'm picking up the Samsung keyboard to go with it soon!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Great choice! Did you get the bronze or the white one? People think I buy expensive electronics because the bronze looks like gold to them lol. Luckly, it already has apps that can be used for typing and writing reports. Hancom office is the name i think.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
The bronze, and oh man it looks incredible with the keyboard
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dmginc:
Does anyone else's Turbo have a very loud vibrate? Coming from an old S3, I'm not sure if this is normal...or if mine is in fact just loud.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] respider:
yeah the vibration force is strong with this one
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] empoweredh22:
Isn't that a good thing?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] neur0tk:
Vibration is nice and strong here also but it's a good thing when my phone is down in my jean pockets and can't hear it!
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
I'm very happy with my AFTV. I'm rooted, running the latest pre-rooted firmware, etc. I'm thinking of ALSO running OpenELEC from a Chromebox. I would like KODI to run somewhat better, without the Android limitations, and I like to mess around. If anyone is doing this, I would like to read your comments, thoughts, etc.
[Fire TV General] Divine_Madcat:
I actually had this debate several weeks ago, and ended up going with the FTV. One of the big winners for me, was how easily Hulu and Netflix can be integrated into XBMC (since everything is a regular app, it works REALLY well), unlike those services on Windows or Linux platforms. As it is, overall it has surprised me at how well it all performs,and am rather glad to have saved the money. I dont think you can go wrong either way, but i cant say i have felt any limitations (and indeed, this lets me do more than my old windows XBMC box)..
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
True. But I'm interested in better 1080/24p/high bitrate playback -- no dropped frames, and HD audio.

Once you start noticing dropped frames, it's very difficult to stop seeing them, and I've tried all the various advanced.xml cache settings. I also have both SPMC and Helix RC3 installed so I can compare. I'm thinking SPMC is smoother.
[Fire TV General] skeptic_always:
Not a chromebox, but I came to Roku/FireTV from XBMC/OpenElec on mini PCs. XBMC in and of itself is slightly better on those and having an open OS is nice. However, before you make the jump you need to decide what you will be using it for. If you plan to use services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, etc. you are better off sticking with the FTV. Sure, you can get all of those working, but using them just isn't fun. If you don't care about services like those and just want XBMC and it's add-ons, then something like OpenElec or XBMCbuntu on a PC is an easy choice.

However, my recommendation would be to wait. The first Android TV box was just released (Nexus Player), and while it's a bit underwhelming there are others on the way. Razer is working on one intended to be a game console. While you may not care about gaming, it should be safe to assume Android TV "gaming console" really means Android TV "high end" box. Personally I don't have the frame drop issues you are seeing (I batch transcoded all my videos into what I believe to be a friendly format), but what you describe makes it sound like the FTV is almost good enough for your videos. Perhaps the Razer Android TV or some other box in the near future will be good enough while keeping you in an environment with remote-friendly apps.
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
I would keep both boxes. I would do a stand alone install on the Chromebox (OpenElec), and use the Firetv for everything else. I started this thread hoping that someone else had done this and had feedback.
[Fire TV General] skeptic_always:
I'm not sure I follow, or maybe you didn't get what I said. I have ran both the FireTV and OpenElec. Both I and Divine_Madcat gave you feedback. I don't have the dropped frames and audio issues you mentioned on my FireTV, but I'm playing my videos transcoded to a FTV friendly format. In my situation, FTV has all the advantages other than the open OS. If you are asking specifically about OpenElec on a chromebox, I wouldn't know. Maybe ask on a chomebox or OpenElec forum?

If you have some specific questions maybe we can answer them.
[Fire TV General] enserio:
I just moved and decided to scrap cable and do everything via streaming. I think I took on too much by purchasing a RasPi preinstalled with OpenElec, as well as an FTV. Not sure which one goes on the main screen in the livingroom, but I'm leaning towards the FTV. Hope this discussion continues a bit, hope this is not too off-topic.
[Fire TV General] no_spam_for_me:
Which format is AFTV "friendly"?
[Fire TV General] skeptic_always:
H.264, AC-3/DD 5.1 and AAC stereo audio tracks (except older DVD rips that are stereo only), in a .mp4 container. I'm sure it's not the only format that works, and probably not even the best format for FireTV, but it is the best option I found that works for both my FTV and my Roku.

I don't remember all the H.264 settings, but it was one of the included high quality profiles in Handbrake. Before transcoding they were all .mkv files with my own tweaked H.264 settings and a single audio track that was whatever passthrough I picked when ripping that particular DVD/BluRay. The old .mkv files played perfectly on my OpenElec/XBMCbuntu devices, but could be hit or miss on Roku/FireTV. After transcoding they all play flawlessly and I get surround sound on all of them (except DVDs that are stereo only) through FireTV connected to an older Logitec surround sound system via optical spdif.
[Fire TV General] no_spam_for_me:
OK, I thought you maybe also talk about FPS :) (to avoid skips, mirco-stutter and so on ...)
[Fire TV General] skeptic_always:
Nope, just a container and A/V codecs that were listed as (presumably hardware) supported on both the Roku and AFTV. Not that it should matter for performance or stuttering, but I also burn in all the forced subtitles for best compatibility. No issues with some players not showing them, and I'd never want to turn them off anyway.

As for FPS, I always use the same as the source. Same for resolution, I'm not knocking them down to a lower res or anything.

I will say my transcoded Blu-Ray videos are MUCH smaller than when I first rip them from the Blu-Ray disc. They start out at something like 30G+ and typically transcode down to 4-6G, with the largest coming in a 9G. You might be able to tell the difference if you had a freeze frame of the original next to the same frame of the smaller one, but watching the same scene from both videos I don't notice any difference. This was my "good enough" test.
[Fire TV General] Neo3D:
Do you have audio sync issues with your AFTV? Which version of XBMC are you running? I'm getting audio sync issues on quite a few of my files.
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
Nope. No audio synch issues. I have the latest SPMC and Helix RC3/

Did you have to disable hardware acceleration?

Nice guide that you put up for people who cannot wait for 5.0 and prefer using Nova.

You can actually use Floatify to add lockscreen notifications similar to the ones in Lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Seekzter:
For thoose of you who cannot wait for Lollipop and wants to use the lollipop theme without any struggle please flash the latest X-note rom. You can easily just change theme with Xnote controll app and there you go you have lollipop on your device with just a click. And it´s running smooth as butter just lovely. Thats why i love x-note, there is also alot of other themes to choose from. Question is if the x-note rom is avaible for all note 4 models.

Anyways im running the lollipop theme and will also do a x-note rom review as doing videos about android, rom reviews, game reviews, guides etc is my passion you can follow me on youtube ( the android dewd reviews ) stay tuned because a x-note rom review with the beautiful tw theme chooser they added you will be amazed how easily you can switch themes without nova or any other launcher and run lollipop if thats what you like.

Kind regards!

The android dewd reviews.

Sorry, no, the s-planner widget doesn't work which is sad as I really need it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] krishsastry:
Could you please share the nova.backup file, so it would be easy for anyone to use that, after setting the icons to lollipop, so others can simply import the whole setup. Its just for folks who keep changing there look. Just my 2 cents !!

OH man!

I can't believe you guys still update wildfire!

This is my first android,and it works now,that's why I love HTC most.

I bought a XIAOMI for 774 RAM,it drove me crazy.

Will you release a lollipop for wildfire?

Maybe ART will help G8 runs better with its super low RAM.

I now use HTC desire 820,don't know when will it sale international,so that there would be more ROMs.

And thanks for your hardwork again.

I will try this ROM as soon as I have enough time.

Hi,

We worked on this project for months and since we're almost ready (very few days left) to launch the first beta on the PlayStore I think that it's time to share some info around the web and not only on our community.

ACUI is a set of four apps: ACUI Key&Touch, ACUI Touch (and ACUI Touch with material) and ACUI Base (which include three different themes), designed to best improve your Android experience in your car.

GOOGLE PLAYSTORE LINK

[YOUTUBE]XFzcSVCppvY[/YOUTUBE]

Together with these UI app we will release also two very simple and easy apps that will allow you to share your GPS connection from your phone to another android device.

But ACUI is not just software. We will open a preorder sale on IndieGoGo for a couple of piece of hardware we're working on:

- a bluetooth HID controller for standard 4-Wire resistive touchscreen (price around 80$)

- a custom controller (price around 50$)

Every single $ for both the IndieGoGo campaign and the PlayStore sales will be used to produce and keep as low as possible the price of these two product, as we previously said on our Google+ Community we really want to provide you the best experience for the lowest price.

Here's the links to our site and to our Google+ Community

http://www.acuiautomotive.com

http://plus.google.com/communities/112087817837785037612

We have a list for people who are interested in a full list of feature available now for the first release of ACUI. Note that our A2DP feature will be available as soon as possible (the base code is almost ready).

For non-phone devices the Tablet version will be fit your needs.

I tested it on a Samsung Galaxy Trend which have a 1Ghz SingleCore CPU and 512Mb of RAM so it should also work on the S150.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maraca:
hi, i purchase the app, i have a car android 4.0.3 S150 but not install in google play, system not compatible message. any idea?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Neverbe:
The A2DP code is ready and working like a charm. We will record a video really soon.

The first proto of our bluetooth adapter is ready too. There was some noise but we managed to reduce it at 90%, I think that we will manage to completely reduce it. To use this module you will only need of just one aux input in your car. The module will be connected to the aux input. The tablet with ACUI will be connected to the module via AUX cable and the phone will be connected to both the bluetooth module and to the tablet with ACUI installed. The module will also allow you to have one extra AUX input in this way you won't have to unplug the module everytime you want to plug another MP3 player or whatever you want.

After that you WON'T need to touch your phone anymore. You will be able to answer/reject a call, access out/in/missed calls, send and read SMS (using both android keyboard and your voice), access to phone contact list, create a new contact and listen to the music stored in the phone.

New feature will be added in the future.

Please note that this feature will be absolutely FREE if you have ACUI Key&Touch, ACUI Material or ACUI Touch.

Sorry but it will only work on 4.0.3+ devices

Hi Guys!

We've great news for you.

As we previously said we're preparing ACUI Key&Touch to work with hardware buttons but we also:

- Deeply changed the way MeteoInfo are gathered by ACUI. We made the code far lighter but we also add a couple of feature like home city, destination city meteo and meteo update when GPS location change.

- Improved YouTube integration (recording a video now)﻿
