[Q]Should I Buy a Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, should i buy a N7?
I don't need 3G on tablet, so it will not be a problem to me.
Also, anybody knows when it hits Europe?

Depends on what you have now. I went ahead and pre-ordered because I broke my smartphone and a replacement was out of my price range. Turns out I might be able to finagle a subsidized upgrade, but I'm still going to use the Nexus 7 for school.
What would you use it for?

I would like one too, price is very good especialy when you can even play most of play.store games on it
But what do you guys mean by saying you want it for school? like, typing, making notes ? or something else? isnt it a bit small for that kind of stuff?

Brand New B&N Nook Colors for $134.99 free shipping!

Alright guys, so we all know the Kindle Fire is dropping next month, but for anyone looking for a Nook Color this deal cannot be beat!!
The seller is DailySteals, I have ordered from them before (Pixi Plus) with no problems at all.
Great price IMHO considering used ones still pull $160-180 and new ones go for $190-200 on eBay.

Just be forewarned, it's not going to arrive fast. They dispatch items like 7 days after you order than UPS Surepost is absolute rubbish.

What's a good phone for messing around?

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.
the nexus s is the same as our phone just no keyboard what else can you ask for?

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .

can i buy a nexus s that can be used as a "wifi only device"?

hellloooo people of the of the world!!!
i was just wondering if i could buy a "wifi-only" nexus s. i dont want a plan or contract, just something like the samsung galaxy player.
thanks in advance
Yes they all can be used in Wi-Fi only mode. Just disable mobile data and phone will only connect when Wi-Fi is available.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Or just put any device into airplane mode.... then turn wifi on...
And u can also make internet calls via wifi.
Good luck

yes but what about the monthly fees? so can somebody please tell me a price and where to buy it?? thanks!!

monthly fees lol
Craigslist, ebay... etc. Someone out there is selling this phone so buy from them no matter what their provider was since all u want is wifi usage out of it.

With wifi only your battery will be great. Main radio eats up battery, wifi uses way less juice.

without contract, you must pay full price. Retail price is $529. You might find a new one for 300-400. A used one will run you 200-300. No monthly fees using wifi
I would honestly just buy an iPod Touch before buying a new Nexus S to use in airplane mode. Unless you can find a used one for cheap, it is overly priced to not be used as a phone as well.
You might as well just get the galaxy player or iPod touch. To be honest

I am really tempting to buy it!!! Unlocked GSM without contract but the phone is just too big. 4.65" and no microSD card slot.

let us know what non-wifi dl speeds you get on tmobile. i got 10-13mb's on their lte. know it won't be that, but just curious and dissappointed with dl speeds on n1 with tmobile. when contract is up, may switch carriers.
Just read about it via tmonews on an off subject about HTC One S.
So Glad I waited...now to play the waiting game to see when it arrives...
Not bad considering I bought the nexus one when it came out and got the Galaxy Nexus for $450 after taxes and shipping!
so you have a GN on what carrier?

This sux! I bought my N1 from google with no issues. I am in Canada. I cannot buy the Galaxy Nexus though as it states the website is not supported for my country...WTF! Way to go Google...I was going to buy one just based on price but now I'm not sure...
Mine is on the truck now. Unfortunately I'm at work and my wife has to accept it
Do you guys want the tests run straight out of the box before I unlock/root/etc?

Don't matter, I think most will root--that is what it is meant for
Just a regular non-wifi test will do
Don't know how much dl speed differences there are around the country--
Thanks,

[Q] Cracked Screen? What to do?

I put my Nexus 4 on a shelf that was about 5ft high, then someone pushed the shelf causing my phone to fall face down on the carpet. I thought the phone would handle the drop, as it had happened to me before, but I looked at it and the front glass, not LCD, was completely shattered. I know this would be a costly replacement, I would just like to find something under $100. What makes it bad is that the phone is only a month old, and I didn't have a case on it, kinda my fault.... But I'd like to ask if anyone else had this problem, and if so what was the solution, how much would it cost to buy a replacement online? and is it easy to replace at home, because I never replaced a screen by myself? If so did you get yours replaced at a shop? and how much was it with the glas and digitizer? Thanks, also do you think the prices for the screens will go down? They seem to be going down, because I could probably wait a month if it makes a big difference.
$115 lg does it for you.

unroot it not difficult if u use one of those toolkits. doubt you can find anything cheaper than that. screens are expensive. max you would save $20 but you run the risk to not succeed by doing it urself(unless u r a pro in such things)
