Boywunda posted:For those asking about streaming media to Android, I know this should be in the Android App thread, but there is also a GOON made app called Emit. There's a free version as well. To be fair, probably half the thread now has $25 to spend at the play store. Also, did anyone get the case? I'm wondering how nice/well it works.

BunLengthHotDog posted:I had to enable "show recent searches" under the privacy and accounts section of Google Nows settings. The only thing that added for me was sports scores...which would not show up automatically without that option checked. Maybe it impacts other cards as well. Just search for stuff. I've looked up addresses on my desktop and had directions and traffic information show up on a card. It did take a couple of searches for things to start showing up.

My nexus 7 just died  Battery got low and it shut down. Plugged it back in and turned it on to a faint burst of static from the speaker then static on the screen. Thinking I'll let it charge and hope that's the problem.

Tunga posted:Sorry, this isn't completely related, but what battery percentage did it die at? Mine has been switching off at 15-20% and I'm yet to discover if anyone else sees this. It was somewhere around 5%. When yours shuts down is there anything on the screen? I was able to get it started up long enough to see that it registered my wall charger as usb instead of ac. Changed wall outlets and left it plugged in for a bit and that fixed it. Never had that problem with the battery getting that low before.

Fatal posted:I'm having a battery issue with my Nexus, not sure if it's just me coming from an iPad or what but here's what I'm experiencing. I pretty much exclusively use it before I go to bed, surfing the web about 30-45 minutes a night (Either betamax or another forum or two, no video). That's it, no other time on it at all. However I'm finding it just sits there and drains the battery so that I have to charge it about every 3 days even though I only have used it a maximum of 2 hours. Is this odd behavior or am I just expecting too much? My usage pattern in similar and that's about what I get. I've got something hitting the wifi while it's asleep, but I'm too lazy to figure out what it is.

IT Guy posted:Depends on if he has email syncing or apps auto updating or wifi always on, etc. There are so many variables. My nexus 7 can last around 2 weeks if I turn that stuff off. What's your screen on time? I get 3-4 days on mine, but that's with 1.5-2 hours of screen on time a day.

Michael Scott posted:If you wipe the Kindle OS, you probably will not be able to use any of the Amazon Digital Store features (movie/TV renting or buying, most likely Kindle Books will be nonfunctional as well). The only part of Amazon's ecosystem that is exclusive to the Kindle Fire are amazon's TV/Movie streaming. You can just load the Kindle app for android from the market. Its actually very similar to your experience on the native Fire's software.

NotJustANumber99 posted:I've had a nexus 7 for 2 months. I must admit I have barely used it, but recently went on holiday and it was great for internet and email stuff. One morning it just won't come on, plugged it in and turned it on, all I get is flickering white lines of pixels. Anyone had this? Have you let it charge a little and then tried to turn it on? I've gotten that when the battery has been completely dead.

Again the next morning I left it plugged in for long enough that I would expect something to happen. But yeah, I'll give it one more go now before I agree a pickup time. I thought mine had died, when I just needed to give it an hour on the charger. Felt like an idiot when it started working right.

Telex posted:not to squash the N7 talk, but is there a charger made that will let the Nexus 10 operate without draining? The battery is going to do that some. The charger should let it charge, then run off the battery, and top it back off. If its never topping back off, then try a different charger.

Sereri posted:I think "single US model" just mean that there aren't different models for At&t/TM and Verizon LTE, so just a single US model. Yes, but what else does it support? The rest of Verizon & AT&T/TM's networks are incompatible. So its either LTE only, and thus won't really work anywhere else or it has extra guts and that's what Tunga was asking about.

bull3964 posted:A nice tweak that Motorola added to the X/MAXX is that when it detects the wireless charger but knows it isn't centered right, it puts a circle up on the screen to allow you to align it properly. It's a simple thing, but works great. Kinda expensive but Panasonic already makes one: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-QE-TM101-K-Black-Wireless-Charger/dp/B0051R4ECM

Jerk McJerkface posted:Guess I remembered it wrong. I do think that I/O is a long time from now for a smart watch release. It's like Microsoft announcing the Surface, everyone is excited, and then they don't actually put it out for months and months. The nexus 7 was announced at I/O 2012. So there is a precedent for it.

ThermoPhysical posted:Tegra 2 and 3 didn't seem too popular. People around here seem to hate them compared to the Snapdragons at least. The 2012 Nexus 7 had a Tegra 3 in it and it was fine. There were "issues" with Tegra 2, especially on phones. I may be mistaken, but I think most Tegra 2 devices didn't see anything past gingerbread.

ThermoPhysical posted:What sense would it make for them to only use a tablet to push the L-release? That feels like they're going back to Honeycomb days. The first nexus 7 was the reference device for 4.1 so its not unheard of. Personally, i'm just hoping for one more nexus phone since my nexus 4 is getting a touch old and LTE would be cool.

I flashed mine when the factory images dropped. Still stutters pretty bad on Lollipop. Bought it at launch, I guess 2.5 years isn't too bad with it.

Cool You'll get it eventually. And it'll probably just jump straight to 5.0.2 which is much improved over the initial 5.0 release. At least it is for me.
