You'd be so much happier with an Ultrabook or other thin, light notebook, and something like a Nexus 7 for reading or gaming.

Ozmodiar posted:I'm still trying to get to the bottom of my battery issue on my Nexus 7. Despite WiFi being on constantly, it seems like you only lost maybe one percent of your battery over three hours, with the device waking itself every ~15 minutes to sync something. That doesn't seem like much of a problem to me.

C-Euro posted:Any chance of the price on the TF101 keyboard dock dropping soon? I was interested in maybe getting one but at least on Amazon they're still $120+, despite Asus having already put out a couple of better tablets. Then again, I guess the original Transformer isn't much older than a year so perhaps it's too early for a price drop. Check eBay. There are plenty of used ones buy-it-now for less than $100.

woodhead posted:I put in on Craigslist and had 4 offers within a day. Picked the least sketchy sounding one and had my cash the next day at lunch. Depending on where you live, just search CL for transformer and see what pops up. I was clear in my ad that this was the TF101 with the dock but people that responded just kept asking about the transformer so they may not have been as tech savvy as they should have been and been comparing my price to the price of the newer models, I don't know. It's close to Christmas so that could have had something to do with it. Jesus Christ, I've had my TF101 and dock on craigslist for at least a month for $250 and nobody wants it. A few people have lowballed the poo poo out of me but nobody really wants it. Maybe I should relist it so more people will see it.

I bought a refurbished Nexus 7 and I'm having these touchscreen issues. Often when I'm trying to scroll, even in the app drawer, I'll have to swipe a few times to get it to register. I thought it might be my Moko case causing it but it happens naked as well. Is this a common issue among N7s or should I attempt to get it replaced?

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:I have that same puddle game in the video and I can't get the problem to happen on mine. I don't think anyone else has mentioned it. Maybe it was fixed in an update. Are you on 4.2.2? Yep. First thing I did when I got it was update it to 4.2.2, then unlock and root. The problem happens on stock, and it happens on ParanoidAndroid so either it's specific to 4.2.2 but only for me, or it's a bizarre hardware problem.

Has anybody gone through Asus for repair or replacement for their Nexus 7? What's the process? Pay to have it shipped to them, wait a week or two, then get it back, or is it better than that? These touchscreen issues are driving me crazy, but if it's a huge hassle, I may just suck it up until Google I/O.

I didn't think it would work on a 7" device but I don't have any issues. Even comics are fine for me. I'd say find a way to get a book onto a Nexus 7 and see for yourself before discounting it.

I can't tell, though, does rooting wipe out all information on the device, or is that just unlocking? Just unlocking, but I'm pretty sure you have to be unlocked to root. You could try backing up everything with carbon then unlocking it.

fookolt posted:Hm, I'd rather wait for Asus to release something because I really can't stand plastic on something that big Asus doesn't exactly have a great record of reliability either. The nexus 7 alone has had so many different issues ranging from screen separation to touch screen responsiveness issues. Mine has the touch screen issue and it's so bad I can't reliably play games on it. I've RMA'd it twice and the problem has persisted. I'm debating sending it in a third time but I don't have much faith left in them and two weeks without it isn't very enjoyable.

nrr posted:7" looks a bit small but then $400 for the 10" seems a bit much for something I don't really 100% need. What are you planning on viewing on it? I thought the same thing initially and had a Transformer for a while but I grew to hate the size. Now I have a Nexus 7 and, ignoring the flaws specific to my device, I love it to death. I can read comics and PDFs on it with no issue whatsoever.

If you buy a Nexus 7 from, say, Staples, and after a couple of months you notice a defect, you have to send it to Asus, right? Whereas if you buy it from Google, they'll cross-ship you a new one? I'm trying to decide if the $10 shipping from Google will be worth it if the new nexus has issues like the first one did.

Not sure if 16 is enough, or if I'll get 50$ more use out of a 32 gig. This post confused me so I'll point out that the ad will be released next Sunday, but the Nexus is slated for release on Tuesday the 30th.

Apologies if I missed somebody mention this, but when the new Nexus 7 goes live on the play store, it looks like they'll be offering free ground shipping for a limited time. If you can deal with waiting for it to arrive, that seems like the way to go.

No, but if this version has as many problems as the last one, I'd rather have Google ship me a replacement than to ship mine to Asus (possibly on my dime) and wait two weeks for them to maybe fix it and ship it back.

Hangouts is great when it works, but the app does have issues. Sometimes I have to back out of a conversation then click on the conversation again to get a new message to show up. If I try to back out of the app instead of just hitting home, it'll go chat -> list of hangouts -> same chat -> list of hangouts -> exit. Finally, sometimes even when I'm on a solid wifi, a message will hang and not send but I can pick up my tablet and send the same message just fine. Once the bugs get fixed though, Hangouts will be great.

bull3964 posted:Looks like the Fire hides it. This is a stylistic choice on the part of Amazon, they must feel that people want access to the notification shade while reading while on normal Android device since they went through the trouble of dimming the notification shade. Play Books does it right: hide the notification bar and only show it if you tap in the middle if the screen. Not being able to hide it at all seems like a really weird design choice and would bug me too.

Butt Savage posted:Quick question about KitKat and the Nexus 7. If I want a device that functions like the Moto X in that I can activate Google Now even if the screen is off, such a feature has to be designed into the hardware, right? It's not like KitKat can activate this feature in devices like the Nexus 7? An app called Open Mic+ can do this for you, but it would probably kill your battery. It can be set to only work when the device is charging though.
