[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes unfortunately, just about all the decent manufacturers have decided it's a dead market. At least in the smaller format, the only real tablets currently available (with updated hardware) are the iPad Mini and the Amazon Fire (neither of which I want, due to their closed ecosystems).

You can't get a decent spec 7-8" tablet with current hardware anymore. Samsung gave up, they offered the Galaxy Tab S2 in 8" size in 2015 (having offered higher-end 8" tablets for a few years running), but then skipped an update last year, and are now only offering the S3 in 9.7" size. And for a ridiculous price of $600 US (and only 32 GB of storage!), so they seem to be trying to compete more with the iPad Pro, than anything else. And I'm pretty much done with Sammy, with their horrible skinning of Android (even if they no longer call it TouchWiz - still the same garbage) and stifling development with unlockable bootloaders.

NVIDIA seemed to bail on an updated tablet as well, last year. NVIDIA seemed to be gearing up late last year for an update to the Shield. The stock of existing K1's seemed to be disappearing, and I think they even filed with the FCC for a new tablet? But then NVIDIA basically bailed on the whole ting, announced they would not update the Shield, and more K1's would be back in stock.

I'd love an updated version of the Shield, but NVIDIA doesn't seem interested.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
I own both, the s2 Tab 8" and the Shield and screen-wise the s2 blows the Shield away. Performance-wise (gaming) it's the other way around.

IMO nowadays it's all about the screen. If Nvidia came out with an OLED screen device plus their power chipsets.. win-win.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
unfortunately at around the 7" mark is where people would rather just go for one of the big phones that is one reason for the lackluster sales of tablets. In the 8"+ setting you are competing with the ipads and laptops. And honestly the power of even a budget laptop blows all tablets away... So there is a slim number of consumers who want a 8-12" tablet. Honestly I would pick up a 2018 shield x2 tablet in a heart beat...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spadizzle:
i would for one like a bigger nvidia tablet.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I've heard people say similar, that basically folks don't want a small tablet when they can just use their phone. And I personally can't agree. Anyone who thinks that, must not actually have ever used a tablet (or at least otherwise convinced themselves they don't need a tablet for different, unrelated reasons - cost/budget, don't want to own too many devices, etc.). While the diagonal screen "size" on paper of a big phone/phablet versus a smaller tablet may not look that different (say around 5.5" versus 7"); that is a deceptive way of looking at screen size, as the actual difference in area is

huge

. Literally, the tablet will have double the area of the phone (while the difference in diagonal length is only 27%), which makes a big difference when viewing videos, web browsing, etc.

I own both a decently large phone (OnePlus 3T, with 5.5" screen) and the Shield, and they both serve their purposes. The 3T is better for portability, as it's what I carry whenever I leave the house. But when I'm at home, I find myself reaching for the Shield most all the time (unless I'm actually making a call, sending a text, or taking a pic) as the larger screen real estate make it much more pleasurable to use. But it never leaves the house (unless I'm going on an overnight trip) as it's not convenient to carry around on a daily basis (plus WiFi only).

Agree that larger tablets compete directly with iPads. But for me personally, Apple devices are not a choice; as I'm simply against Apple's closed ecosystem, proprietary standards (ports, etc.) and generally dictating to people what they should want/like instead of actually listening to what customers want.

Laptops, while they also have their place, are too bulky for my normal usage (mostly media consumption & web browsing). I have a nice laptop provided by my work, which often goes home with me. I never take it out for my own personal purposes (only for work) even though it's readily available. Simply too big and bulky.

BTW, not arguing with you, so hopefully doesn't come off that way. I agree with your points in general. But everyone has their own personal preferences. And unfortunately for me, mine contradict the masses or majority. And it's unfortunate that most all the manufacturers have decided that is not even enough of a niche market to provide a decent small tablet this year.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spadizzle:
Thats why Microsoft did it right with the surface. If Nvidia went that path, but not as aggressive as in the laptop area performance. but made a nice tablet that can be used like a laptop per say.

Like the prior poster stated. outside i have my phone for portability. but anytime im sitting still ie. traveling and staying. i always have my Nvidia with me. :)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
Problem is microsoft surfaces don't sell well either. Imagine 12 inch screen all of the power of a netbook or low end laptop at best the surface has a i7 6650U which hits the $500-600 laptop mark. a surface pro 4 with the max specs is around 1400. vs an ipad for 800 or less

For 1400 the surface has to compete with laptops and for that price you can get way more powerful laptops.

To sell well a tablet needs to be in the 8-10" size category it needs to have at least the power of the latest ipad and it must be priced under 400 anything higher the masses will just jump to an ipad. Anything under 180 will have too many corners cut to make a profit build, quality, function or appearance will suffer.

So that leaves us we need a tablet 8-10" with a good ips or oled display it needs to have the power of a tegra x1 or better and at least a sot battery life of 5-8 hours priced somewhere between 200-399
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] criptix:
I need your help guys and gals. Just switched to T-Mobile and my wife is the only one having issues. I had the phone unlocked and it does work but intermittently. The data will stop working at random even with correct apn settings. Sometimes the 4g lte indicator will be there sometimes not. Restart sometimes fixes, searching available network helps as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Mod please move to question. Put it in wrong place. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] Acinko:
Apn settings you need to manually set them

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30273

Here is the settings above (link straight from t-mobile)

Also just an FYI in case that doesn't work... there has been issues with 7.0 active on t-mobile

Flash back to 6.0.1 (no root needed) and then set apn settings. However don't do that unless for sure your still having issues after going through everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] criptix:
I have set all the apn settings. She is running 7.0, I will try 6 when she gets home.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] ins0mniac:
Try this

This is not "S7 Active" specific issue. It is overall S7 issue on Android 7.0. You don't need to downgrade to 6.0.1. Just delete all the APNs (make it EMPTY!) -> Restart phone -> Add APN -> Restart. Problem solved.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

If you get poor LTE coverage on T-mobile, you should switch to 4G instead. That way, you'll get better reception + you'll save little bit of battery life.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone dialer -> 'Device Information' -> 'Set Preferred Network Type:' -> Select 'WCDMA preferred' or 'Global auto (PRL)'

I used to get 1 bar on LTE, now I'm getting full coverage on UMTS. I'm on MINT SIM (they are T-mobile MVNO).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xravisher:
Hey guys!

Wanting to get an opinion on the GS8/+ Location tracking capabilities.

I'm currently tossing up between a GS8 and the V20; and Location tracking for me is one big deciding factor.

I use my GPS allot in my car, and the place where I keep my phone (next to an FM transmitter) often interferes with the GPS/GLONASS of my GS5.

I know the easy solution is to place it away from or remove the FM Transmitter but, its a cheap and cheerful solution to allow for Bluetooth integration in my car.

Just wondering if you guys notice quicker, stronger and more persistent lock-ons on the GS8 with the added help of BDS + GALILEO?

In LG V20/V10, there is a function in the stock camera apps called multi-view. The user can take video using both front and back camera at the same time and collage into one video. Any apps can do this? I can just find some apps which takes video in the front and back NOT at the same time and collage together. I think it is a very smart function. Like this:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siez:
There have been a lot of news about a smart drag and drop feature that Google just patented. I wanted to know if this feature is actually coming to Android O?

If you haven't read about it yet, it is pretty similar to the drag and drop we do on computers, the difference is, it is smart. You'll be able to select and drag text/images/videos/etc. and drop them onto other apps (Messaging, Amazon, Facebook, Photo Editor, etc.)

Here's one article I found that explains it pretty easily - Google will bring drag-and-drop feature in Android with machine learning They said it will work great in multi-windows. That's why I want to know will it be available any time soon?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerber:
I don't know exactly since when this is happening, but whenever I play music and then want to take a picture (camera app or inside whatsapp for example) the music stops playing.

And not only does it stop playing. Play Music completely disappears from the statusbar and I have to reopen the app to start playing music again. Also it doesn't save the state of the played song.

It's really annoying!, if I have some others apps running in the status bar (like a reminder) them disappear too, and almost all time Nova Launcher has to refresh itself when I go back to homescreen, I never had that problem with my old Nexus 5 :/

By the way, Im using stock Rom 7.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
I've been thinking about getting the AT&T unlimited plan, right now they are offering the unlimited plan with 10gb of mobile Hotspot per line. My question is, is anyone currently in the new unlimited plan (not the grandfathered plan) and have you went over your 22gb of unlimited data, if so was you throttled by AT&T any.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] coldfusionb:
I have the AT&T new unlimited plan and so far I have never been throttle. I switch from the grandfather unlimited plan over to the new ulimited plan and glad I did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zylith:
I am as well. I easily use 100 GB per line - 3 lines. And have never been throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
Thanks guys, also if i read it right, it says something like 3mbps download speed? That don't sound right and i think i probably misread it, but do you have regular 4g download speed. I'll look it up again and ss where it said that.

Edit: the 3mbps download speed is on the unlimited choice plan, not the unlimited plus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
I went ahead and swapped to the unlimited plus plan. With the HBO $25 credit plus the $10 wireless and paperless billing i figured I'd save about 25 dollars a month since this plan is 10 dollars more a month than my old one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Gerov:
I've been trying to install Lineage OS on my S6, it all works as it should until I get to the initial set up screen, the one with the Lineage logo in the middle, emergency call on the bottom left and Next on the bottom right. The touchscreen is not responsive on this screen, the home, back, task view, power, and volume buttons are all responsive, but the touchscreen will not work, what could be the problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
If the ROM was not designed for your particular phone, if say you are using an Edge ROM on a non-Edge device, you will need to flash a kernel that was developed for your device.

Not sure if that is the case for you, there are lots of variants to Lineage, but it seems possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Gerov:
I am using a regular S6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Each carrier's S6 is a bit different. A T-mobile ROM or Verizon won't work on a Sprint S6. Not without some tweaking.

You can also ask this question on the Lineage forum. I am guessing here, not knowing the full picture.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I investigated further on the Lineage OS forums. it does not support Sprint at this time.

We are looking to see if we can make it work. But it is complicated. So it will take a bit.

Yes but when I personally compare RR, Cosmic, Carbon. I find RR to be the one providing the most crazy customisation options . But the again, Carbon ,according to me the most stable one and can be used as daily driver.

WHATS FIXED?

You can say everything (almost everything). Calls fixed 100% . Made some 20 calls. All well in that.

Rom is super smooth. Everything works as it should. Even got 99% deep sleep during night which is crazy. Thnx [MENTION=6425240]hunnymadaan[/MENTION]
