ASUS launched 2 new products:

Memo Pad HD7, which is quite attractive IMO and Asus Fonepad Note. No that will never beat Note 2.

BTW all, XDA has an upcoming series of articles about Google and User Privacy, and perhaps a reduction in being reliant on the Play Store.

Prep article
www.xda-developers.com/android/say-sayonara-to-google-apps/

Excerpt:
.......
Over the course of this series of articles, we’ll look at ways you can move away from being so heavily reliant upon Google services. At all times, we’ll try to use Open Source solutions, which are free to use and modify. As a bonus for security, open source code is able to be scrutinized by anyone who wants to take a look at it. Per the popular Open Source advocate’s expression, “Many eyes make all bugs shallow,” which tends to improve security.

In the upcoming first article of the series, we’ll take a look at how to reduce our reliance on the Google Play Store and why we’d want to do that.

Feels like buying it.. Usd1 expensive than my last purchase

Then it's cheaper after you factor in inflation

very nice icon pack. got link link?

lol. hi. i mess with my friend htc one which is on 4.1.2. seems like HTC disable that notification panel - some US carrier update carry this rules

waiting 4.2.2. no point update 0.0.1

No idea about the icon pack

I think you should update to 4.1.2 since it has the exynos SDS fix. Your name is Jorga?

I read somewhere that the HTC 4.2.2 update finally allows you to have the battery icon percentage or some insignificant feature. This means that HTC removed a lot of useful stuff from the stock UI, then when they release it you go "whoooo".

Fuuuhhh..... Canada has 3 year contracts with $500 penalty fees !!!!!

Canada finally able to escape three-year contracts, caps data overages at $50/month
http://www.androidcentral.com/canada-final...verages-50month

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission today announced that starting December 2, 2013, those of us up north will be able to cancel our contract after two years without penalty, that domestic data overage charges will be capped at $50/month ($100 for roaming), and that devices will be able to be unlocked after 90 days (or immediately if bought outright). The new code also stipulates that buyers will have 15 days to return any device so long as it's within certain usage limits, have the power to accept or decline mid-term contract changes, and that they'll have a contract they can actually understand. These changes are all a result of public hearings that happened back in February.

This, in short, is freakin' sweet. The code will apply to all of the major carriers. For those unfamiliar, three-year contracts are currently the norm up here, and early termination fees in the past have been as high as $500. Right now, we've got a kind of pro-rated system where carriers factor in the initial subsidy provided for your device and how much longer you've got left on your contract in order to calculate how much customers need to cough up to leave. This can still be pretty high.

Needless to say, I'm really, really pumped about these changes. We're waiting on statements from Rogers, Bell, and TELUS to see what they have to say about the new Wireless Code, but one can assume they won't be thrilled about it.

I think that one is motif icon pack.bought it from play store

gREAT. thxs for that bro u r right on the spot

Even low end is now pretty powerful.

Cheap quad-core tablets heading our way, as MediaTek launches its new chip
http://www.androidauthority.com/mediatek-m...re-chip-220364/

MediaTek has released a new quad-core processor, named the MT8125, which will be targeted for use in tablets. Compared with other big chip manufactures such as Samsung, Nvidia, or Qualcomm, MediaTek processors tend to be cheaper, meaning that we might soon see a few more reasonably priced quad-core tablets and smartphones.

The new processor is built from four in-order ARM Cortex A7 cores, meaning that it’s not going to be an absolute powerhouse when it comes to processing capabilities. The MT8125 will instead be an energy efficient solution that still has enough juice to power through the most commonly used applications.

The processor will be clocked at an acceptable 1.5 GHz, making it a faster chip than other cheap A7 based quad-cores, and the SoC will also come packing a multi-core PowerVR 5XT series graphics chip, so it won’t be a slouch when it comes to media either. Speaking of media features, the processor comes with Full HD video playback and recording compatibility, support for up to 13-megapixel cameras, and is compatible with Full HD displays, making it suitable for not just budget tablets.

As for other features, the MT8125 also includes MediaTek's 4-in-1 connectivity combo, which packs Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and FM radio into a single integrated package. Another selling point for tablet and handset designers is that the chip will come in three network varieties, HSPA+, 2G EDGE, and Wi-Fi only versions, which are all pin-to-pin compatible, meaning that designers can easily interchange the chips without having to alter any other components. That way manufacturers can offer consumers a wider choice of products without incurring any additional costs.

==================

The A7 quad at that speed should be comparable to S3's performance. Comes with all the connectivity as well.

I did a restore of my HandyNote app+data via TiBu....the pages are blank !!!!

I suspect HandyNote stores the stroke data files somewhere that TiBu could not backup ......

you do have a nandroid backup right?

Yes but that is beside the point. Strange that Tibu cannot backup the writing data.

wonder if there's anyone else here who uses handyNote and have restored successfully before. Can't say for myself as I use Snote which is synced to GDrive

But syncing to Gdrive does not save the editable S-Note files, does it? The other reason I use HandyNote is also for portability and avoidance of lock in to Samsung.

Yup, I'm screwed if i get a T6 or Togari later this year
But it seems htc doesn't want my money, the One has all kinds of quality issues, judging from the XDA general thread. So i guess I'm stuck with the note 3 since Sony will most probably have a small batt on their phablet, all for the 'omnibalance' thing.

It provides omni balance to Sony's balance $heet coz with the $aving$ on battery they can have a healthier balance than you.

download the hotspot right instead dispatch ??

yalo

I can't stop laughing
