Zgpax S8 vs Samsung Gear 2

So what would be a better choice to buy for to my Sony Xperia Ultra???

If you post the main features ...battery life, cost, IP rating, screen ...etc for both watches you'll get more feedback.
From memory ...even though the S8 is not IP67 (i think) it seems like a better choice, it has a better battery life and cost less.

Can buy a used g2 for $140, and a new S8 for same price. My main concern is if the g2 will be a same usefully with android, and will all the app will work?

The difference between the Gear and the S8 is the S8 is a standalone Android device so can use any Android App and doesn't need to be connected to the phone, where most Gear features need the phone.

so is it only standalone? I received one yesterday and can't make it work with my sony

Will the S8 be able to bluetooth sync with a samsung galaxy s5 or is there an app that needs to be installed?

Info, I wanna buy this tablet

Hi,
I want to buy a new tablet 10 inch and this note seems perfect for me since I study at the university. But I have some doubt:
1. I read that the version with snapdragon works best, but for me it would be fine also Wi-Fi only version, do not ever insert the card, it's worth it to spend at least 100 € extra just to get the better processor?
2. In the reviews I've seen with Android 4.3, the lag is not missing at all, the situation has improved with the upgrade to Kitkat? Also do you think will be upgraded to Lollipop?
3. I would need to connect it to the TV with HDMI, what kind of connection you can do with this tablet?
Thank you all in advance!

@Murtagh92 Mate I wouldn't buy this just yet ... there is a new Note 10.1 2015 in the works ... My guess would be in a couple of months it will get announced. It will have typical better Processor and screen and the WiFi version will probably the same as the 2014 LTE.
1. I would just be patient if possible - If you need it asap then the WiFi Note 10.1 2014 is fast enough I believe and pretty cheap at the min.
2. Yeah I am 100% positive the Note 2014 will get Lollipop although it will be a bit of a wait LOL. But I find KitKat prettt fast.
3. This adaptor will do the trick ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=viglink20238-20

Thank you, very kind.
I'm participating in an auction. It's a lte version, buyed in january with 2 years of warranty, original cover and 64 microsd, I will offer up to 350, otherwise I will expect the 2015 version.

Yes please don't buy the note 10.1 2014.. Lags like crazy, touch screen is soo unresponsive, cheap feel(doesn't feel like $550), but performance wise its king..

I have the Tmobile version and it works great. No lag. Haven't had any problems with it. The only things I don't like are the placement of the charging port and the auto brightness function which must be a Samsung tablet issue cause it works fine on the Sasung phones I have. By issue, I mean that with auto brightness checked, the screen is really dim even in very bright light so I just adjust it manually.

I think I will wait 2015 edition. Unless I find a good deal for the lte version.

I will sell you mine...if interested. Pm me if you want.

Chromecast works perfectly with this table. Plug it into your hdmi port of your tv. You do need to be on the same wifi network. I use it all the time.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my tablet so far. With the aid of some talented developers, this tablet has picked up quite a bit of speed and stability! And currently on TigerDirect it's going to $400

Ive had mine about 8 months and it's been fantastic.
Little bit of menu lag before kit kat but now its 100%.
Love the official flip case with it also and a big sd card.

I bought a P605! It's fantastic! Now I am not sure if I need to make root or change rom.

Just root will do. With kitkat u will have 2.7gb ram 400mb more ram than the 4.3.
with root u can use app like greenify and tb to remofe craps. I have successfully rooted by flashing nee kernel and then towel root and then flash back my curre kernel which is cnj1 without tripping knox or void my holy warranty.

2014 edition rocks.
U wait and get 2015 edition, you will pay alot more. Hv had mine for a month now w kitkat wifi edition 2014 and thoroughly enjoy it....But one thing to note(get it?) with samsung is that they cannot keep their devices up to date at the same rate as their development...so anything in the past gets left behind. Example: 4.4.4 kitkat update is here for tmobile but not wifi edition which is samsung only.

Samsung smart view 2

Helo everyone.i just bought a samsung smart tv 6400 and i found out about the smart view 2 app..but i cant download it to my note 4 it says not compatible..can somebody put the apk up please..tx

Is it the 6400 2013 model or 2014 model what are the letters before 6400. The 2013 models use smartview 1.0 but this version is not compatible with kitkat. 2014 models use smartview 2.0 with new encryption because Samsung don't like competition in third party remote control apps.

Its the 2014but i found it thanks

Do you have a source for either/both?
The ones I've found do not fit the screen properly (too small).
THX!

Does the G Pad 10 cases and screen protectors fits on the X 2 10.1?

You refer to this tablet as the AT&T LG Pad X 2 10.1. The AT&T web site shows this as the LG G Pad X 10.1. Is this the same tablet?
Do you have way to root this device yet?

Well you said ask anything, I have a question....
3 points lie on an xy plane, with each point representing where a particular person lives. Amy lives at point (2,3); Brian lives at point (0,7); and Claire lives at point (-2,3). They all wish to meet up with each other for lunch, but at a location that is equidistant from each of their respective houses. At what point do they meet?
a. (0,4.5)
b. (0,13/3)
c. (0,3)
d. (1,5)
e. (-1,5)

The AT&T G Pad X 10.1 that I have is 32GB. I don't think they have a 16GB option. I have a 128GB microSD card in it as well.

The LTE version in Taiwan (V935T) comes with 16GB of ROM (9.35GB useable).

Do you have the KDZ? Mine just bricked and I can't get it back.

Is there any reasonable way to display onto HDMI (e.g., a television)?

You can use an usb slim-port adapter. The slimport from Monoprice does work but one may also need to connect a power adapter to the adapter as some adapters need more power than supplied from the tablet else the battery could also run down very fast.
I have the pad 2 10.1 wifi & have used the Amazon slimport adapter for their Fire 8.9 4th gen to display on the TV. You can do miracast/*cast but the sound quality is much worst & quite noticeable.

Could you possible pull the Dialer/Phone APK?

I made the mistake of flashing one non-compatible, and now all i get is fastboot mode, and i'm not quite sure how to use fastboot, but trying to learn it so i can use my tablet again. Thanks so much for your time.

I was given a LG G-Pad on att&t service......Is their a way to make it work on Verizon service ?

Do you have stock LG-V930 image anybody to share? Please and thank you.

How to upgrade to Marshmallow on LG V930 ?
I just received an LG V930 (LG G Pad X 10.1) off eBay. It was advertised as locked to AT&T, and has AT&T's bloatware. However:
- AT&T Device Unlock Request page does not recognize it as an AT&T device! I am trying to get around this via a 3rd-party unlock service.
- The tablet is running Android 5.1.1, Kernel 3.4.0, Build LMY47V, Version V93010d. But it does not update any further--it claims to be up to date already. How do I upgrade it to Android 6.0 ? Is it possible that the tablet is forcing me to wait 24 hours (after initialization) before Software Update will work?

An administrator on AT&T's Community Forum asserts that the tablet will not update unless it has an AT&T SIM card. I actually tried that, but the SIM card was pre-used; I got a message that it was "not provisioned", and the tablet would not update.

[Q]Where can i find the difference between A5 or A7 model numbers

There are a lot of people selling different types of phone models. I am not gonna buy from a store for now. I've checked wiki/gsmarena and in specific phone, there's a lot of model numbers such as:
2015 version of A5 = SM-A500F, A500F1, A500FQ, A500FU, A500H, A500HQ, A500K, A500L, A500M, A500S, A500X, A500XZ, A500Y, A500YZ

Click to expand...

Yes. I know there's 2015 and 2016 versions of em. But the model number is what I'm curious about and i would like to know the differences and WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL ONE?
Like A500F or A710/700F is the mostly original/common one? And what is the difference of that from the others such as A700FD etc.
So I would know which one I would take when i buy as 2nd hand..
I would like to buy the regular one which is mostly easier for me to find it easier to root as I see other versions like A500W versions are having problem rooting their phone.
Also, how do i find out if they changed hardware?

You should know that most of that letters on the end of the model are showing you if it is europe version or china or us or india and so on and on
And if you can choose wich one to buy than buy of course as you say the best one of support and easy to root and so on
For the hardware changes you could easy find some
Google play apps
Like the gpuz or cpuz apps or sonething similiar to those apps
