Duke Jeffrie posted:Mine actually arrived a couple of days ago. I'm still incredibly pissed, since I made it clear I wanted a refund if it wasn't ready to ship (I had decided I would just prefer one of those Blurex cases instead). By the time I realised the tracking info was a delaying tactic, they had finally posted it for real, so I had no recourse. I still haven't gotten a response from them about the shady business with the tracking information. Very shady and deceptive. The case is certainly nice, but I would never recommend them after all this bullshit. They seem to have no problem with blatantly misleading customers. Fairly sure that providing a shipping number and then not shipping an item is a breach of credit card contract. If you want to gently caress them over, report them to your credit card company.

Kind of thinking about getting a Nexus 7 even though I have an original Asus Transformer. $200 for a 16gb model is cheap enough that if I don't use it every day I won't be disappointed. Is the CPU/GPU already outdated, or is it still worth getting?

That is pretty odd. I have my new Nexus 7 and I can leave it on for 4-5 days without using it before I have to charge it.

How long have you let it charge for? I have run into issues with phones / tablets where if it gets really drained it may take a little bit for it to turn on.

FISHMANPET posted:How exactly do I set it up? I turned on sharing on the Nexus 4, and I paired the devices, is there anything else I need to do? Pair the devices. On the Nexus 4 turn on Internet connection sharing. On the Nexus 10 in blue tooth devices settings for the Nexus 4 connection, select use for Internet connection.

If you use a bluetooth headset it wouldn't really matter how big the tablet is.

Google Now builds over time the more you use it and the more you use Google services. It will read your email and inform you of flight / weather information if you've booked travel plans. It will also notify you of tracked packages. If you buy stuff from Amazon and other retailers, it will notify you. It also knows where you live and where you worked, based off of location data. It keeps track of your Google search history and suggests relevant stuff to you. If you search for sports teams it will give you scores, etc. What are you trying to get it to do? You can't customize it that much. It's supposed to just "learn" and be automatic.

And some people prefer to have that as opposed to a widget. Customization is king.

Continuing the case-chat, I picked up one of these for my new Nexus 7 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZGS5PC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Definitely my favorite case so far. I had the standard MoKo case for my old Nexus 7, and this is significantly nicer.

Evil Canadian posted:Ok I will take that under advisement then, I will just kill things through recent applications, I will also try the awful app. Something with online is killing the battery I am now fully convinced, playing some android games and watching videos I have now noticed drain battery at a normal rate so I will just have to monitor and optimize the abnormal drain I am finding using browsing. You don't need to kill recent applications. They are not doing anything. Read the links that were posted.

OS updates do not come out every few weeks. Like most of this thread, I've had Nexus devices for about as long as there has been Nexus devices. Having a 5 minute "reboot for updates" every 3-4 months does not ruin the appeal of an instant-on device. I'm almost afraid to find out everyone's opinion on app updates.

Whatever was going on in 5.0 to cause apps to be paged out seems better in 5.0.1. If that wasn't them fixing the memory leak, it was at least good enough to make it not noticeable. At least on my Nexus 5.

Syrinxx posted:The SP3 is an insanely good hybrid and blows everything else out of the water but it also costs about 2-3 times as much as the better tablets so it's hard to directly compare them. The Surface 3 (non-pro) isn't far off from what the Transformer line was in price.

Are you still within the return period? If so, just return it and buy a new one.

Sir Unimaginative posted:That's a little hyperbolic. NAND probably got the old capital treatment: saving two bucks a pop across a million units got someone a tidy bonus. If principle or spite were the huge deals you claim they are would they even have SD slots? Oh yeah: even a 16 GB Chromebook has more user-accessible storage than more than half of all Android phones, even though that number includes basically no Android phone worth buying. Did you just list the fact that a laptop has more disk space than a phone as a good thing?

Stick100 posted:I'm not so sure that's really a thing anymore. I've had incredibly good experiences with the S3 and S6. I'm generally an Android purist as a dev but both devices have worked amazingly well. I even ran my S3 though part of a load of laundry and it still worked afterward (just the camera would fail to launch). Getting Samsunged isn't a thing anymore? Can you explain that to the Note 7 users who all had to return their phones in a fireproof loving box?

Try leaving it plugged in for ~24 hours. Sounds crazy but on those older Nexus 7s they could get drained to the point where they wouldn't turn on even if they were plugged in.

Not sure if this counts as a necro or not, but there's no other Android tablet thread so here it goes... Is it possible to make Google Discover, like what shows up on the Pixels, show up when you swipe left on a Galaxy Tab S3? Without rooting?
