Wow this company is getting Worse and Worse in my eyes all the time. I wish Google did not use Asus for the Nexus 7, if this is what their customer service is Like! Maybe next time it will be a Samesung or something quality like that, maybe Google will finally utilize Motorla

The current rumor is the 10" Nexus device will be by Samsung so I doubt they'll let Samsung control both 7 and 10 if they're giving them 10 already.

ThermoPhysical posted:Apparently, this problem is fixed with the update to 4.1.2. Yep, Paul from google posted in that newgroup thread I linked to earlier quote:As you may have heard, Android 4.1.2 has started rolling out. This update includes a fix for 16GB Nexus 7s which may experience slower performance when running out of storage space. Android 4.1.2 is being distributed via over-the-air (OTA) update over the next several days; if your tablet hasn't received it yet please be patient. So the issue is supposedly resolved. I probably won't have time to test it myself for a while, though.

So, I went ahead and bought a Kindle Fire HD based purely on the fact that it had a brighter screen and "true" stereo speakers. Let's be honest here for a second, no one likes hearing sound out of one side of a tablet. Anyway, you can side load a bunch of apps onto it without rooting and so that's what I did. The silk browser is kind of a POS, but opera mobile is buttery smooth. I know that the Nexus 7 has a faster processor and a blank slate OS, but for Netflix and e-reading you really can't beat the Fire. I'm sure eventually you'll be able to wipe and restore with CM10 but honestly its not that bad, amazon just needs to work a bit on their launcher optimization. If I can run CM9 on an HP Touch pad, then the eventual CM release for the Fire should be pretty snappy. edit: and with all this talk about hardware issues...maybe the fire was the way to go after all.

I do love that 10inch Samsung rumour, given its magicing up a 10" 2560x1440 display, which hasn't been on Samsung's road map. While a 11 inch 2560x1440 display and tablet to be released in latter stages of 2012 have been on their road map for 2 years! Its amazing how many tech sites release stuff without even thinking about the information that has already been released and has appeared on those same sites. ThermoPhysical posted:I don't think Samsung's doing so well in tablet space. Phones, sure. Mostly, people just buy ASUS if they want an Android tablet now a days so I don't know. In America maybe, but in the UK Samsung are very very popular for Tablets, hell cant even remember ever seeing any transformer in any physical shop here. Also Samsung tablets in the Uk can be had for very low prices (as long as its not a 3G one) e.g. 10.1's for £250, has been as low as £220 with voucher codes etc. ukle fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Oct 12, 2012 |

Just got a Stylus from Boxwave, and this thing works pretty well. I wouldn't say it worlds better than your finger, but it's a bit more precise and you don't have your hand and finger blocking the screen when you use it. It's got a cool tip on it too, a sort of soft mesh. Much smoother than the rubber tips I've seen on other stylii.

randyest posted:Do you mean for the price or am I missing something that makes the Fire unbeatable for those uses? Eh, unbeatable is kind of an overstatement. I'm just really enjoying the dual speaker design as compared to my parents iPad. The Fire is a purpose built media consumption device that can also do tablet stuff and the nexus 7 is a tablet that can also do media stuff.

I don't really believe those specs myself but I'm not in the market for a 10+" tablet anyway so I wouldn't care if it was somehow the quality of an IMAX screen in a 10". As for Samsung, I think it's mostly in the US that Samsung hasn't done nearly as well in tabletspace as they have in phone. Not sure. Star War Sex Parrot posted:I'd completely forgotten that they even participated in it. Then I remembered about the Flyer and all of the chatter about whether it would actually include the stylus or not, etc. Honestly, the same happened with me. I forgot HTC ever did tablets so I'm not sure how much of a loss this is as I haven't seen them being sold for about 6 months now.

The Flyer was a decent little tablet, but the lack of including a stylus and the ridiculous price, I think it was around $600, with the stylus being $70 made it ridiculous. I picked one up for $200 (with the stylus) and it was alright. The stylus was more of a gimmick and it didn't have enough pen resolution to make it useful. My one year old loved it, though, I have an Evernote skitch notebook full of him scribbling.

My 16 GB Nexus 7 has been getting sluggish lately and I've been reading that this can happen if the storage is almost full. It's running CM10 M2 (4.1.2). Looking at the screenshot below, I can't figure out where a lot of the space is being used. It only shows 4.13 GB free, but everything else it shows doesn't come anywhere near close to 9 GB. I'm assuming something has to be using that space. I only have two nandroid backups and I don't know what else it would be.

So, an updated T-Mobile end of year roadmap leaked, and it doesn't seem to have any new Nexus devices on it whatsoever. That could mean nothing, I'm not familiar with T-Mobile's roadmap procedures and whether they would list unannounced devices or not, but it doesn't look like they have a lot of exciting stuff coming up. http://www.tmonews.com/2012/10/new-t-mobile-roadmap-shows-possible-release-dates-for-windows-phone-8x-lg-optimus-l9/ EDIT: Uhm, wait, this doesn't seem to be the phone thread.
