I bought a Venue 8 with android 4.2.2 a week ago. I have been searching the internet and have not found any info on how to root this device.
Can somebody please help?
Thanks
Same here....

I've 1.39 too. I've a question, do you guys find there's a line of color on the right side of the screen (when landscape) is not correctly display? Specially when running a rgb test, can clearly see the line comes out green when it should be red. My roommate has one too and he has the same problem on his venue 8. I wonder is it just our units or its also the same with everyone.

I'm afraid there is not a haptic feedback feature. I just checked and do not see it in any settings.

aww dat sucks, oh well hows the da to day running of the tab? is it efficient, much lag?
I have been using it for reading and browsing mostly and it works really well. One thing I noticed is how accurate the colors are on the screen. I compared it to my Nexus 5 and it seems the colors are more accurate on the Venue. (I compared my favorite teams colors.) I think for daily activities this tablet works good thanks to the speedy 2Ghz processor. I haven't done any gaming though. Overall, I like it.
Oh, camera doesnt have flash and the shutter is slow. But I'm not gonna be taking pictures with this thing

Thanks for heads up imma def get this next week once it go on sale and hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have some progress with root or at least dell will maybe give us a unlock procedure for their boot loader

Wow, so I got to play with one of these today and while I like the size, my goodness the screen was unusable. Not that it wouldn't take my input its that it would hit somewhere else on the screen. It was a floor model so naturally it was messed around with and in German but I could not for the life of me get the Gallery app to open.
I want to have tablet as a portfolio of sorts for my photography so I wanted to see how images looked. Sure I could get the Nexus 7 with its higher resolution but I like the size of 8" tablets. That 1" really does equate to more screen room. Heck 7" isnt much bigger than my 5.2" phone. The only real other options are the Samsungs Tab/Note which I am not found of and the LG Pad/Tab 8.3 which would be my first choice except the price.
I should receive mine in the next few days! Hope that a dev will also get one and start looking at it

May have been a bad unit or may be it was lacking the firmware updates (there were 2 since launch). The gallery app works as it is suppose too. While the resolution isn't the best compared to a 1080p screen the colors look very good. Not in "saturated" good but in "natural" good. You're right about the extra inch: 8 incher feels more like tablet than the 7 incher does.

as with all newer phones and tablets, remember tech companies like samsung, dell acer, etc like to push out updates for their newest devices first then going backwards to slightly older and continuing till they want to cut em loose with the updates. so that means 4.4 will be released to the venue 8 is thats only inevitable, the question just remains when? maybe not till holiday season is over though simply because im assuming dell is gonna have a goood ole time keeping up with production once tomorrow and the weekend hits.
who knows? just enjoy it till then.
so excited for toorrow to order
btw how long does shipping usually take? (if anyone ordered in in canada yet)

I'm seriously thinking about moving from the Tablet S to the Nexus 7. The biggest factor influencing me is the ability to keep my software more up-to-date, both through being in the Nexus family and through a more active development community. Android is developing its software so quickly right now (we just got ICS, and JB is already on several devices), and devices will be falling off the map pretty quickly. Having a Nexus device seems like the best way to protect against this.
I'm a little worried about losing the 2" of screen real estate. While the size and weight of the Tablet S make it a little awkward for reading on a plane, it does make for an outstanding movie player. I do think the IR remote is a very good idea, but the reality is that I almost never use it. Even when I have my tablet in my hand, out of habit, I pick up the remote to change channels or adjust the volume. Losing the SD card concerns me a little too, but the cloud services have come a long way, and I'm not sure it's necessary. What else might I lose if I make the switch?
I think I'm going to pick up a Nexus 7, compare the two for a few days, and make a decision at that point. But I'd love to hear from the community about this as well. Anyone else thinking about making this move? When thoughts have you had about the decision? What factors are influencing your choice to stay or go?
EDIT: stupid auto-correct still doesn't like "tablet"
Yep, I'm planning on making this move. The lack of root and an unlocked bootloader has made the Tablet S really unattractive next to a $200 pure Google tablet that will surely have a large dev community behind it. I don't mind the smaller screen, personally. The only thing I think I'd really miss is the native PS3 controller support, which makes playing emulated games on it an ease.

I'll be moving over from the Sony Tablet S to Nexus 7. I hate this tablet, not many devs have taken it onboard to customize it and hack the device. The Nexus 7 should be alot more dev friendly
I'm also thinking about replacing my Tablet S by a Nexus 7 one...
I've spent a lot of time analyzing the works of great developers in order to find a way to gain root on the Tablet S, trying several exploits, mixing tricks used for other devices in hope of discovering something working and have certainly learned a lot of things by doing that but every game becomes boring if you always lose...
Well, it will be no game at all if the Nexus 7 is built like the Galaxy Nexus phone where "fastboot OEM unlock" is enough to unlock the bootloader but it will make myself spend time using my tablet rather than unsuccessfuly try to root it!
PS
Yes, some people -like me- feel sick holding an unrooted android device in their hands. There is no explanation for this, it 's certainly stupid but that's the way it goes. Must be genetic
I called the Staples down the street from my office today to see if they had any N7s. Rep said they had four that just came off a truck. I went and grabbed one.
I'm just starting to play around with it. My initial reactions are: 1) the build quality feels amazing, and 2) it freaking flies.
Honestly, if I don't find a legitimate deal-breaker, this thing probably has a permanent home.
Another huge perk that I've not seen mentioned yet--while being so basic--is the ability to charge with micro USB. That damn Sony charger really limits how mobile the Tablet S truly is.

Two questions, if you please :
- does the Nexus 7 offer SD card support?
- have you try booting into fastboot mode and try the "fastboot OEM unlock" command (there should be a confirmation box allowing to leave without doing it)?

No SD card support, which is a slight concern. I have a 64 gb card in my Tablet S. Naturally, I chose the 16 over the 8 gb N7. With Google Play, though, I really shouldn't need to much space.
There is a toolkit for unlocking the bootloader, if that's what you're asking. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. I don't see any options for unlocking directly from fastboot.

Sony tablet S is a good device and every little disease you could meet while using it should certainly be solved...
But if you take a look in the threads around here, you will see that the thing is unrootable since Honeycomb 3.2.1 kernel build #10 !

The device is in a dummy box just like Samsung did to cover the design of the s3 look closer at the first pic and you will see that the top and bottom is curved but I'm not sure about the LCD.
The nexus one didn't have a curved screen and only Samsung has made curved screen nexus. I would like a curved screen though, and that true IPS display will look amazing

It's unfortunate you included so much identifying information here, as the phone will probably get remotely disabled now if it is indeed a prototype.

For what it's worth, I find it really comfortable to hold. I have average-sized hands and, admittedly, not the strongest wrists. I don't find it too heavy at all--marginally lighter than the iPad (3rd Gen) that I used to own. Fits in my hand nicely, and the tacky rubber housing helps. This is for both portrait and landscape.
It does look humongous in portrait mode, though, but easy to hold nonetheless.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I probably would have grabbed the 16gb and smooth talked my girl, but $499+ right now... Probably wouldn't have gone over so well. My Big concern is will I use the damn thing? I just want one so damn bad though!!

So far not blown away by this device. Blink is a bit limited. I think I prefer flipboard or scope. Havent really played with the camera yet, will do this weekend. Performance is really not much better than the hox. I'll use this for the week I guess and see comparisons between this and the sgs4. This screen is smaller than the nexus 4 also, some apps look smaller. I think the sgs4 will have a bigger screen and similar remote control? Anyone else not super impressed thus far?

Yea nexus 4 screen isnt its weakest con. I think the battery and camera are worse. But I'm surprised how good the remote control worked better than my 3 remote controls I usually have to use.

This screen is smaller than the nexus 4 also, some apps look smaller. I think the sgs4 will have a bigger screen and similar remote control? Anyone else not super impressed thus far?

Yep I have both phones. Guy is out if his mind. The one is better in every way except straight updates from Google.

It seems a few of us disagree with you.
the phone is great but i feel that sense slows it down =/ i got my phone today renewed my contract with an early upgrade paid almost 500, and now im slightly regretting it.
Shouldn't be stuck on stock Sense for long. I think once someone gets an AOSP-based 4.2 ROM up and running smoothly the One will be good to go.
Here's to hoping the so-called bootloader blunder will continue for a while to attract some good developers. If HTC shuts it down then this device will more or less suck compared to Nexus 4. ( just my opinion, AOSP > all OEM skins and is more important (to me) than hardware specs)

I'm usually the first one to criticize Sense, but I haven't felt like it's slowing down this phone at all. There's the occasional jerky animation, usually just when adding widgets in the launcher, but that's about it.

Unless you're using pie controls the menu bar takes up as much screen as the nav buttons.
Galaxy S4 is close to my ideal phone, but I refuse to back a monopolist, judge me.
HTC One has fantastic build quality, when you get one that doesn't have monumental flaws and have to return it multiple times.
LG Optimus G Pro has no roms and the bootloader is locked tight for now it seems.
The HTC Max looks really square shaped.
Sony unveils products tomorrow, but who knows when they will release.
Is there a high end motorola phone coming? Is the Optimus G2 set to release soon? I need input and I have nothing to go off of.
Looking at your list, i would suggest you go for htc one. It is way better than s4 and g2..
I have personally used s4 and one for quite some time now. The difference is clearly visible using some tools. Anyway, the decision is all yours good luck with your new purchase.

That's what I really want, but I spend a lot of time in the HTC One boards and there are some horror stories about bad build quality and not realizing it until after the 14 day period.
My friend has htc one. it is going great till now. Go for s4 or one. Lg isn't good when it comes to supporting their devices.

You know, everyone seems to care about device support but I don't. Not even a little. I keep my devices for 9-12 months. When I had an iPhone I would absolutely dread updates. They would mean that my phone would get slower and, although updated, I wouldn't have any access to the awesome new features.
I can always count on the CM Team

Same with Windows, updates aren't always everything they're cracked up to be for older devices.
