Went to see the new N7 at Best Buy. I was considering it, but I wanted to wait to see if 4.3 improved my old N7. Boy did it! My homescreen used to redraw every single time I went to it. Now, it doesnt. Feels snappier overall. Thank god for the TRIM support. I'd love to have the 5.0ghz wireless to avoid random disconnects due to airwave congestion in my apartment complex, but I'm definitely holding off now. The floor model's screen shut off with the CRT-style animation. Can I enable that on my old N7?

Does lightflow work properly with the new Nexus 7? The notification light turns on but it's always white. Even when trying out the test all notifications mode it's still only white. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my settings or if I just need to wait for an update.

It is, but the N7 doesn't do it for some reason.

Yeah mine would stumble through every screen after waking up for a good minute or two but it feels a lot more responsive now. Don't see the need for another 7 inch tablet for a long while if this keeps up.

It's a boolean in framework-res.apk being set to true rather than false, it could have been ticked one way or the other by an update script or factory reset script or app without you noticing. Anytime you find yourself asking, "Why can't my Android device do that arbitrary software function?", just search it on the play store, and now it can.

Joy of joys, got the OTA update for my Nexus 10 to 4.3, downloaded it, restarted after applying it and it errored out with "No Command" as the text over the Android icon. Looks like it's sort of known with a lot of other people and the only way to fix it is to do a factory stock reflash, so now I'm in the process of doing that. Sucks because I wanted to not lose all of my savegames and whatnot and the last time I ran Titanium was before my trip to PA this past weekend when I played a ton of games.

Anyone have any comparisons between the two after a couple days of use after putting some more wear into each tablet? Allaniis fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Jul 31, 2013 |

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Every person who takes pictures with a tablet is a stupid rear end in a top hat and it's dumb that Google gave in to them. Now we get a nearly useless feature that either makes it more expensive or pushes other more useful things out. I was actually really frustrated at the lack of a back camera on my Nexus. I like to use it to take pictures of my knitting so I can update my blog without having to gently caress with sending pictures all over the place. Believe it or not it is actually kind of useful.

I recall being annoyed a few times when I couldn't scan a QR code on my Nexus 7, but on balance I think I'd still rather have a color LED than a back camera.

I used the back camera to set up Google Authenticator on my new Nexus 7, and beyond that I imagine I'm going to never use it again. If it's any indication, the only things in the camera roll on my iPad are instances of my toddler goofing around with the thing and having no idea what the hell he's doing.

Jeez you guys are a hard crowd to please. Losing the color LED kind of sucks, but gaining a camera is an acceptable compromise for most people. I don't care either way, I'm just happy that the screen is higher res and they bumped up the speed and RAM.

A camera on a tablet is useful when you want to take a picture of a full sheet of paper (say, a form, something from a textbook, or maybe a newspaper article) and have it on a device you'll actually be able to read it on again later. It's not universally useful like a cellphone camera, or as good as a dedicated camera, but if you've got something that's pretty much perfect for showing PDFs and such it makes sense to have something that functions as a kind of cheap, fast scanner built in.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Can you have Authenticator on more than one device now? Maybe I'll install it on my Q. Always could, if you had all your devices in front of you at the time, or you saved the code. The QR code (and that long string of letters they give you if you can't scan a QR code) is just a seed for a time-based number generator. So if you enter it into multiple devices, they'll all have the same code on them at once. I've got the same authenticator account on my iPad, my phone, and my Nexus 7, and the codes all are perfectly in sync. You only get the QR code and seed string once, though, the first time you set it up. So if you have a new device and didn't save the code, you have to re-enroll in 2FA all over again. I printed off the QR code and put it in a secure place at home, so when I got my Nexus 7 I just had to pull out that sheet and scan it.

1st AD posted:Oh well, then I have no idea why people are complaining. I think its just the fact that Google/Asus saved what, half a cent, using a white instead of multicolored LED? (I don't actually have any idea what the cost difference would be!) Whether you think most people care or know about different notifications being different colors, don't most phones with notification lights have multicolored ones? So obviously someone thinks people appreciate the multicolored notifications. Its just a very conspicuous cut corner. I don't personally care one way or the other, but that's what I think people might be annoyed about.

Okay, question. I want to upgrade my old N7, its still under a replacement plan at a staples, I can just go say soemthing is wrong with it and pay the extra 35 bux for the upgrade to the 2nd generation model. But, this would also include another replacement plan (40), and the cost of another case. So, by exchanging, I would pay close to 90 bux. My issue with the old N7 is that it seems to hiccup on FF, and sometimes have lag, but with a new OS update, Im hearing those issues will be fixed via software improvements. So, my question is... is it worth it?

What's the resolution of images that the Nexus 7 FHD 5mp camera produces? Depending on the aspect ratio it can vary wildly. Supposedly if the camera's aspect ratio matches the screen (which is pretty rare, in my experience) it would be 2984 x 1680.

I'm more annoyed that the update failed at all and sent my n10 into a state that required a complete reflash back to stock. Oh and reflashing back to stock and wiping the user profile data partition did completely fix the issue and get me back up and running.
