BeastOfExmoor posted:OTG dongle works well for things like watching movies off a thumb drive, but I believe it's read-only, at least using the Stickmount app, so you won't be able to store anything on it from the tablet. That's a big negative, unless you're talking about some sort of un-rooted method. I rooted my new N7 and just got my OTG cable last night and I was able to copy stuff to the thumb drive fine. This is with stickmount.

Newegg has a 10% off coupon if you use their "new" v.me nonsense: VME10BTS. It drops the 16GB to $207, which is pretty good since the ebay listing sold out.

I think my issue was that I was using a NTFS drive and stock android only had read support for NTFS. The Stickmount page in the play store has a link to the NTFS-3G driver and instructions to make it write. I just tested it and it worked fine for me. Sorry for the misinformation.

Is there such a thing as an android 10 inch tablet with a 1920x1080(or similar/higher) resolution that uses something like the S-Pen yet that is worth buying? I got a nexus 10 and I like it but my one gripe about it is in order to take notes on it I have to carry a keyboard which is kind of defeating the purpose. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Aug 17, 2013 |

A quick google yielded this: http://store.sony.com/p/Sony-Xperia-Tablet-Stylus/en/p/STM934015ZBLK. I have no idea how useable it is though. As for the tablet itself, it has a "Full HD Reality display". But it starts at 500 bux for the 16gb version so there's that. Savage Cracker fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Aug 17, 2013 |

16GB/32GB Nexus 7 (2012) are $140/$180 at Staples with coupons. However, this deal ends Sunday, August 18, so think it over quickly. It makes me wonder how many 2012 Nexus 7 Staples has left, since it's been running promotions on them almost every other week. In my opinion, I wouldn't get them. Coupons are already rolling out on the Nexus 7 (2013), dropping the price to ~$200.

As someone who is somewhat new to tablets, if I were to get a Nexus 7 fhd would it be most wise to go for the 32gb variant? How quickly is it likely to fill up? I have a nice usb hard drive I hope I can connect to it for storage but I have no idea how much space apps will take. e: i am a horrible person and meant to put this in the recommend thread.

Really, it's very easy to move files on and off the device, so that large drive size is best for content like music or video files if you need a sizeable amount on there at one time. Apps are usually small (think 1-30mb), and the OS only takes up 330mb give or take. Up to you!

If you game they can take upwards of 1 GB of space. It's also like $50 for double the storage and it helps keep the device viable for longer. There's not a great reason to settle for the 16.

It certainly depends on what you're using it for, but I really wish I had the 32gb 2012 model. 16gb doesn't even give you room to load a couple HD movies on the thing along with the normal app load. I fell like I'm constantly loading up the disk space utility to try to figure out what's using all my space. I wouldn't be able to justify the $50 premium though and would wait for a sale to make it more manageable. Edit: Unless something changed with the new model you'll need a powered USB hub to power that drive, FYI. Nexus doesn't put out enough juice to spin a HD up.

So I got one of those Nexus 7s, and I'd like to use it to do the occasional sketch when I'm bored. Has anyone managed to put together a decent, small-pointed pressure-sensitive pen for use with it? I don't really care if it's bluetooth, weird audio clicks, or some kind of proprietary voodoo magic, but I'd love to be able to control sensitivity, if possible. Failing that, what's the best fine-point stylus right now?

Doesnt help you at all, but I wish more people would by the note 8. Its so awesome and light, and has a pretty drat nice sensitivity on its stylus. Plus multi window modes so you can have some reference up why you draw if your like me. Developer community is small though.

There's a new line coming out in two weeks though, so I'll be waiting for that. Edit: Or is it a new line of the smaller Note phones? I'm confused I guess.

I bought a 2013 Nexus 7 last week and I'm a little disappointed by the touch screen issues. Does a factory reset really solve this? It's really annoying when typing passwords as I can't see what I just typed and when the touchscreen screws up when I try to tap and hold, I have no idea what I just did. The issues are totally weird. In multi touch tester, my right hand seems to be fine but my left and causes jitters. Index and middle is fine, thumb and index causes crazy jitters. I really love this tablet but it's worthless with this touchscreen.

They're trying to see what's wrong but it looks like it's software based and not grounding.

My N7 had a hardware issue with the touchscreen (at least I think it was hardware) where one portion of the screen was really erratic when sliding my finger around. When you enabled "show touches" it was really obvious something was wrong. I exchanged it, and the new one has been working pretty much perfectly, except for a few issues where the screen doesn't respond once in a while, but I believe that is the software issue you all are talking about. I would just make sure your defect isn't on the hardware side.

Nexus 7 FHD cases are still limited but I bought a Poetic case with a keyboard. I got it today and it's pretty cool. I feel like I have the worlds smallest laptop now. The keyboard feels pretty good and the case quality seems alright but we'll see how it holds up. It was only $15 so if it sucks it doesn't kill my wallet.

What's the easiest way to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 on my 2012 Nexus 7? For some reason the system update menu says it's up to date, and the update was in my notification bar last week, but now it's not. Also, will I have to re-root/SU after updating?

I gave my N7 to my mom when I got my N10. I bought the N7 like 2 or 3 weeks before the N10 was announced last year. Anyways the N7 won't change anymore. Tried different chargers, cords, etc. Even bought a brand new official N7 charger set from Google but it won't charge. So I presume its a hardware problem, most likely with the charging port since it feels very loose when a cord is inserted, which means I'd have to send it to ASUS. Any idea how much they would charge to fix it?

I upgraded to the "IntelliStand" thing so it works as a stand when I fly or put it on the desk as well. The way that works is there is one really big 3M sticky crap for always-connected, and 3 small sticky dots so you can easily pop it out to the 'stand' mode.
