Regarding Flash, crashes Firefox for me every time.

What's the amperage on the charger? I've always used samsung note chargers (2amps) and they've worked wonders with "slow charging" devices. John Francis

The reviews are truly schizophrenic. I was tempted to cancel my Google Play order, but I decided to stick it out. John Francis

The one thing that would kill it for me is the flexing back... My Nexus 10 had the same problem and it drove me crazy. You can mitigate the back flexing with a cover, however. If one is ever available. John Francis

Hi Guys, If y'all still haven't found a solution, this is what I used to root and switch between recoveries, Shield RAM 1.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661067 Regards, John Francis

Works for me on an external card, but the load times are annoying.

Clearing the data for Google services worked for me. Regards, John Francis

Gefroce? 16 gb ROM? Tell whoever posted that to put a little more effort into it.

Hi Guys, Here are the pictures I promised of the case. Overall the case is very well made and looks really good. The one bothersome thing is that removing the bottom of the tablet from the case so you can prop it in landscape is a bit difficult but will probably get easier with time. Also, the...

Thanks a lot! Regards, John Francis

One thing I've noticed and that's a show stopper for me, is that if you've got a PIN unlock set, the unlock screen is forced to portrait mode. The way I've got my tablet charging on my desk this means that it's upside down. Note that this module works really well on my Note 3. Regards, John Francis

Case just shipped. I'll provide details when it arrives. Regards, John Francis

It's expected to ship on the 29th. Probably about a week for delivery. Regards, John Francis

Hi, Yes, it should... I don't see how a case could inhibit note taking at least. Currently I use my tablet in portrait mode. Regards, John Francis P.S. Again, I've ordered the case but have not yet received it. ---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM...

I've ordered one. I had one for my Nexus 10 and it was a beautiful case. I'll post pictures when it arrives in a few weeks. Regards, John Francis

The ANT stuff is safe to freeze. Regards, John Francis

I unrooted, applied the update and rooted again effortlessly. Note that I did not have to unfreeze the apps I'd frozen with TiBu. I did, however, disable the Xposed framework and its modules just as a precaution. Regards, John Francis

Thanks a lot! Do you notice any improvements? Regards, John Francis

So all you had to do is unroot? Did your tablet have the modified flag set? Thanks! John Francis

I'll commit 40 dollars. Regards, John Francis

They do look nice, but for 79 bucks I just can't get over fake leather. Regards, John Francis

Same thing in San Francisco, but the Bestbuy salesperson happily price matched the price on samsung.com. Regards, John Francis

Thanks! Odd, though, that the color is "sent by random." Regards, John Francis

Has anyone seen something like a TPU cover that protects the what I've found to be rather delicate chrome trim, and provides a truly rubberized back? Taking notes on this thing is fantastic, but I have to have it on some sort of non skid surface. Thanks! John Francis

Nothing like that here. That's something worth exchanging for. Regards, John Francis

I agree. May be placebo, but my tab does seem more responsive. Update was around 9 megs. Regards, John Francis

Sorry for suggesting a quick fix for an idiotically trivial problem. I guess I should go all ocd on the stock at bestbuy because my time is itself valueless. John Francis

Bamboo stylus Feel. I've got the carbon/aluminum one. Works well! Regards, John Francis Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 4

Yes. Fixed it right up with some silicone sealant. Regards, John Francis Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 4

Has anyone been able to find information on the Samsung book cover for the 2014 edition? All I can find are a few hands on videos. The Samsung web site has exactly zilch. Regards, John Francis

Thanks for the hard work! Pledge confirmation: 33D7778153872683J. Regards, John Francis

I'd like to offer $50.00 for root. Regards, John Francis

It's not pleather, it's textured hard plastic. I'd bet you could spray paint it pretty easily. Regards, John Francis

I've received a tracking number as well. Ordered 9/12. Regards, John Francis

Regarding TWRP on unlocked boot loaders, I'm running it on my Galaxy Note 2, and my bootloader is not unlocked. Regards, John Francis

I upgraded using PC Companion on a US 312, and promptly lost root. Although, honestly, I don't think I really care at this point--not a whole lot of offensive bloatware, although I would like to get rooted Cisco AnyConnect back. Anecdotally, it seems like battery usage is a bit more linear, and...

Have you tried Maxthon? It can be quirky, but it seems pretty quick to me. Also supports side-loaded Flash. Regards, John Francis

It does not, but I really can't tell much of a difference between audio from the Tablet Z and audio from my Note 2 that does. Regards, John Francis

Damn, it's easy to ignore the missing 'Tablet'... thanks for the clarification. Regards, John Francis

I've got to second this one... I've been using the paid version and it really works well (much better than the default auto brightness). Regards, John Francis

Where are you seeing reports of bugginess on the as-yet unreleased (I'm assuming leaked?) update? Regards, John Francis

Give Maxthon a try. Regards, John Francis Sent from my SGP312 using Tapatalk HD

Hi All, With the tablet connected to 5GHz I get the following speeds: * Playstation 3 controller disconnected: 58Mbps down/30Mbps up * Playstation 3 controller connected: 42Mbps down/12Mbps up With the tablet connected to 2.4GHz I get the following speeds: * Playstation 3 controller...

OK, with the tablet on 5GHz I get ~55 Mbps. On 2.4 GHz, ~21Mbps. These are Harman Kardon BT headphones. Regards, John Francis

Hi All, This seems to be pretty common (saw someone complaining in the Transformer forums). I've noticed the same issue myself. I'm using wireless BT headphones, and the Wifi throughput drops precipitously when I'm streaming music to them. I've got a dual-band router, so I'll set up the tablet...

I ordered mine directly from Sony (a US 312). I've noticed no build issues (much nicer than my Nexus 10 actually) or wifi problems. Rooting was easy, and after freezing the stuff I don't use, I'm getting a solid 10 to 12 hours or use out of it between charges. I'm using the charging doc (to...

I've actually never used a screen protector even for phones that go in my pocket with my keys, saw-sharpening tungsten files and raw uncut diamonds. Ha ha. Anyway, I'd say it's overkill unless you're REALLY hard on your electronics. However, as the unfortunate person above me proves, scratching...

I'm on a wifi only 312 with firmware 370. Regards, John Francis

Hi, I've not had any problems with wifi at ranges over 6 meters. I'm on a dual band 5/2.4 GHz router (ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900). I have heard others say that they've solved problems by switching their routers to channel 9. Probably any other non-default channel would work, though...
