[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
And the Note 7 is a "Phablet". Some of us have used our Tablets (Tab 3) as a Phone. And after becoming accustomed to using a Tablet even my Note 4 seems tiny at times. Really, what is the percentage of people who actually use their 'Smartphones' as a Phone these days? If all you want is to make calls then why bother with such an expensive device after all? Multi-Window/Split Screen really come into their own on a Tablet

After all the Note Pro is still a NOTE. A Pad?

*The View could be viewed as a Tablevision
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] kat.hy:
The bigger the better! And if the whole phone is bezel-less, then it can be made larger, in height. I don't want it any wider than the Note 7 though. The Note 7 fit so perfectly in the hand.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] calinormy:
At least 6". Without bezels could be 6.2"

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Talsi:
Hi,

from images and videos about this device on web I have noticed that included stylus does not have any buttons, which is a bit disappointing for me as I am used to use stylus with as least 1 button (preferably 2 thou). Since the Yoga Book has wacom digitizer, could I use a stylus from my Intuos tablet? Or some other stylus with buttons?

Thanks
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] danjac:
I was able to use the stylus of my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the button worked as well
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Talsi:
Thanks for the info.

Not the thing I was hoping. I have Galaxy Note as well and those small styluses are just not for me.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Spookymonster:
Search for Bamboo Wacom stylus. I've got one that works with both my Galaxy Note 8 and the Yoga Book. I believe any Wacom stylus should work with the Yoga Book.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] ric242:
yes i think so, the technic is from wacom

i test one from my old windows convertible on the lenovo also the eraser works and the button
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] KlausVillach:
Hello,

i have test the stylus from my Windows "Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 260", it didn´t work
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Talsi:
Hey,

thanks all for the comments. The stylus from Samsung Note series indeed works (Galaxy Note 10 2014 in my case) and quite well actually. Just for funsies I have ordered few cheap "replacement" styluses from china, will let you guys know how it turns out.

I have also tried stylus from my Intuos tablet which unfortunately did not worked at all - the bamboo stylus seams to be the way for Wacom styluses.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] mutley359:
Hi

I have had the Yoga Book for 3 days and loving it. I have found that the pen from the Thinkpad Tablet 10 works fine, its much smaller and has a button. The button didn't appear to do much in my first quick test. However, if that pen works maybe the Samsung pens do too.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] dianamg:
How about the galaxy note pen version which has also a headset function (S pen). Will it work?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] NiffStipples:
Has anyone tried the Surface Stylus with one key and an eraser on top? I think that would be great if it's working with our yoga book! :)
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] heyej:
I received this S Pen clone yesterday: http://www.ebay.de/itm/131721242167

It works, but triggers to early, so I have many ghost lines on my notes. It's not very usable. Maybe an original product will work better - but I'm not sure.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] parkps:
i tried cube i7 stylus(skylake)'s pen today. it works without pressure sensor so... meaningless. however backside button works as eraser. side button doesn't works. i owned android yogabook.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Talsi:
Hey,

me again. So the styluses from china just arrived - it took way longed than usually does thou :). So I bought these two: http://www.dx.com/p/capacitive-scre...samsung-note-3-black-2pcs-412089#.WHOxTy_Qckk

To my surprise they work quite well including the button! Only on pad thou, you can not use them with screen (same as original note stylus). Also, the tip has a bit more resistance than original note stylus when pressed, which I like very much. There are like only 2 levels of pressure sensitivity so it is not for artists but for notes it just fine.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Mechey:
I picked up a Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus and it works. But... there are some weird distorted spots where the point doesn't quite track right. There are about 5 scattered about the screen some of them are about 2 inches in from the edge of the screen. While it works, the distortions were enough to bring me back to the buttonless (ugh!) OEM stylus.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] rabilancia:
The original Surface Pro (gen 1) stylus works perfectly with the Android version of the Yoga Book.

You can get one here:

OEM Microsoft Surface Pro / Surface Pro 2 Bluetooth Wireless Stylus Pen

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Microso...tooth-Wireless-Stylus-Pen-Black-/142288561742
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] dooyou:
Where's the benefit of using a different Stylus?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] rabilancia:
My main reason is to have a backup. I've read that the tip of the Yoga Book stylus insert is prone to breaking off when switching to an ink tip.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] dooyou:
I would love to get a alternative Stylus with Gel or a little bit something softer. But thats not so important.

I'm a little bit worried, that there are no Stylus Tips (plastic) for the Real Pen are available. You get normally one with Pens from Microsoft

or Samsung. So I have to buy then a new Stylus?

Which Stylus is definitly and without any restrictions working?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] uuang:
Worst case, use a drained ball point tip. Should work fine. How fast do these Wacom tips tend to wear down?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] 2old4toys:

No feature requests!

NOTE:

This product is provided "as is" without any warranty. Use on your own risk.

I am not responsible for burned CPU or GPU.

Any kind of OC is really dangerous on Galaxy Tab2. While OMAP 4460 has a built-in temperature sensor, OMAP 4430 doesn't have one. Nothing stops it from overheating...

[#WARRANTY]

It is difficult to update all Roms frequently, and it does not always makes sense to compile, download and flash a whole rom, if only some kernel changes are applied.

This kernel will include changes before i add them official to our kernel source (most of the time security bugfixes)!

Android 5.1 and Android 6.0

This Kernel works on all Android 5.1 and Android 6.0 Roms for espressowifi and espresso3g.

Android 4.4

On Android 4.4 we need a different kernel, 4.4 Kernel includes "KitKat" tag on zip name.

What else to say

Kernel compiled using GCC 4.8

Anykernel based on Anykernel2 by @osm0sis ( https://github.com/osm0sis/AnyKernel2 ) - it will dump your boot.img and replace the zImage and add proper kernel modules.

Please note: our kernel detects your Tab2 variant at boot and chooses the right driver and config for your device! In some cases (e.g. if the mainboard or the screen got replaced) your device variant isn't detected right and it will use wrong driver!

I am not sure how many user are affected, but in such case we can skip the intelligent board detection and hardcode the variant.

Attached device specific kernel should work on all unified espresso/espressowifi & espresso3g roms from Android 5 up to Android 7, for Android 4 Roms please use the "kitkat" version.

Feel free to buy me a coconut water if it helped you to keep your Tab still, after many years, almost up to date.

OP states that its already patched
[Galaxy Tab 2 (Unified 7" + 10.1") Android Developm] Android-Andi:
It is quite funny making noise about a bug which existed 9 years now.

1. It is fixed on my kernel as mentioned on 2nd post (wonder why i spend time doing it)

2. I don't see an issue on custom roms (can be fixed within 2 minutes), i would worry about android by your Manufacturer (on all devices).

On android we change the wheel: no central updates like on linux or windows - it is up to your manufacturer to update your device and there's a lot of security issues fixed by google on android every month (and sure, some kernel side too). How many stock updates you get? 1, maybe 2 within 1 year and support drops after that.

To be true: i am not sure if my next device is an android device:

On my g4 i am on stock rom and LG cares 0 about it (Security patch level 2016-07-01... I waited 6 or 7 month to get that update and it was already 1 month behind).

If manufacturer don't care about theire flagships, what else can we do? Flashing custom roms? Right works, but on my daylie driver i don't like to be a flashahollic... I am more thinking about using a different OS.

You should think about my words and don't care about a already fixed security issue ;)

Hi Andy,

First of all, many thanks for all your work! I´m using your ROMs and kernels since Slimkat and all are great!

I also do my best colaborating with the translating team of CyanogenMod and SlimRoms (Brazilian Portuguese).

But now I would like to compile a kernel bymyself, to patch the CVEs, changes I like, etc.

If you have time, can you post here the steps you do to compile the Anykernel?

Don´t need to waste time explaining the things, just post the step-by-step commands (git clone, makes, ADBs, etc) and I will do my research, ok?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Brazil!

Hi all,

I've just put this build on my phone - thought I was going to have to get it replaced under warranty, but that's another story.

Anyway, you can find this build of software by navigating through the official T-Mobile UK web site, so it is official.

If you go to this link: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/phone-support/software-updates/

You'll see a link for MDA/SDA series devices, and this takes you to the site mentioned in the original post.

Also I had someone in a T-Mobile store check my phone out today, and they didn't make any comments regarding flashing. And I've had a few builds of radio and WM6 on the phone in the past few months!

The build looks pretty good so far - it seems very speedy compared to previous builds I've had on my phone, but then I haven't re-installed everything yet...

WinMo6 NOT supported by T-Mobile Uk

HI there

I recently upgraded to WinMo6 off the T Mobile site and while it seems better than WinMo5 on the my Vario II, I had a couple of problems.

First, my screen goes white when I plug it into my car kit, something that never happened in WinMo5.

Secondly, Terminal Services Client has been removed. I have got Remote desktop from Xda developers but it still has problems.

So I thought I would contact T-Mobile to see if they have an official version of Remote Desktop and if they could help with the screen white thing.

After 5 mins of speaking to the CS, they finally realised it was a Vario and quickly passed me to Tech Support. I then had an interesting conversation with one of the girls there. She first implied that the upgrade was not official and T-Mobile UK have not released an upgrade. Then after that she then said that WinMo6 is NOT supported by T-Mobile. I told her that T-Mobile sell devices with WinMo6 installed and she said that on those devices T-Mobile only limited support them.

I left it at that and rang back to speak to a supervisor. The person I talked to was a bit more helpful. He said that the upgrade was actually released by mistake and there is talks within T-Mobile to pull the upgrade down to problems with stabilty in WinMo6!!! He said I should downgrade back to WinMo5 so the phone would be supported again!!

Personally, I think this is shocking on the part of T-Mobile. To release software with no support at all is bad. There is no disclaimer or statement saying that if you upgrade your phone will not be supported. Also after speaking to Tech Support a few times now and also to staff at T-Mobile Retail, the standard line of repair for faults on WinMo devices is a hard reset.

After all this, I'm wondering if it's just better to install a Unofficial ROM from someone who has spent time and effort to get the best out of an otherwise great phone and just downgrade for warranty purposes.
