Can you get more memory by removing apps

Can you get more memory by removing apps on the nexus 7.I saw the nexus 7 8gb have only 5.9gb

I think you're better off putting all media in the cloud, and only apps on the nexus. Then figure out how to use a usb stick during the times you might need your media offline. That was my plan with another tablet anyway, but I never actually needed to use my flash drive... In over a year... Its good to know it can be made available if you do need it though. I did use over 8gb space though, so I bought 16gb nexus. I am gifting the 8gb nexus to someone who uses a kindle fire without running out of room. The device you need depends entirely on your usage and availability of wifi or data tethering.

The first 2 GBs are taken up by Android and the file system. Not much you can do.

Hmm.... I only use nexus 7 for some hd games, surfing, YouTube. All my videos, music are already on my galaxy s2. I think I can live with 8gb

Nexus 7 vs Galaxy Tab 2?

Hey Guys.
New to the nexus 7 forums. But, i wanted to ask a simple question..
which is better??
Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2??
Well, Nexus 7 is pretty cheap and i've been wondering why.
Plus, When will Nexus 7 be available in stores for India and Dubai??
Thanks.

Obviously Nex7 because you will be able to update it to android 5.X.X when it comes out.

Has this been confirmed somewhere? The N7 doesn't have expandable storage, which means if I buy it would have the be the 16GB one.

Yup. It has no micro-sd card.
But can we still copy files on it?
Sorry for that n00b question.
BTW, anyone knows when it's out in dubai or india?

If you can live with 16gb then the nexus is the better choice. Tab 2 has an older processor and inferior screen.

Cons
-limited storage
-skeptical build quality issues

I considered the Tab 2 as it was the same price as the 16gb N7 (both $249) and it had expandable storage. I bought the N7... I feel I made the right choice.

Okk...
I guess i'll consider the n7 more than the tab 2.
it has usb mass storage right?

If you root it and get an OTG adapter. I bought two for like $1.50 with free shipping.

Dubai Dubai 16GB AED 1299
India India 16GB INR 21465
I don't live in either of those areas so don't know how reputable the retailers are, But a quick search on Google and thats what I found

After buying an N7 on release date and within 3 weeks my screen cracking to bits I too am wondering which is the better tab. Agreed the N7 has better specs power wise but, I think that the galaxy tab will have superior build quality including gorilla glass which is now my main concern.

How did that happen? Thanks

Guys,
A small question. If i buy a N7 but doesn't hav a Wifi router or a broadband at home, can i use it with USB data card?

yes,at the cost you buy an usb-on the go cable,you can mount and use a usb key,a data storage hdd or also some internet keys especially huaweii's

If you want to use 3G,You need to buy a 3G+Wifi Nexus 7 which is a few dollars more than the original one. Check here.

I bought both!!! Tab 2 for my aunt Sally because I could use Team viewer Quick Support (only supports Samsung) to help her remotely. N7 for myself. Played with both and without a doubt N7 wins hands down!!!!!

hm.
Looks like the Nexus 7 is winning more votes.
Since it's even getting more development.
I like aosp for that reason

Google Wallet Gift Cards

I swear I used to be able to add gift cards (like Container Store, etc) to Google Wallet. Anybody know how to do this or what happened to it???
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

I can't find anything useful on googles help pages. It just says to enter the gift card.
I sorta wonder if I flashed a ROM that doesnt have this feature (non US???)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I remember, a while back, seeing someone post a support email saying that feature wasn't currently supported with the N4.

Nice. So hard to find anything on the internet for a niche interest. That makes sense. I guess you probably can't just copy over the apk

[Q] Help please

Hi there
I just bought a Nexus 4
And I was reading that OTG cable is not Supported -_-
16(12)GB is not enogh for me
Does any one know any Idea? that can help me get more space?
I don't want powerd hub. I need something Small fits into my pockets?
Is there any Small Wiless hdd or something like that?
Please hep!

Well, you either buy the rumored 32 GB Nexus that is supposed to come out next month, maybe, or you could use cloud storage for your stuff, like dropbox.

you could also check this out. works for the galaxy nexus, nexus 7, and nexus 10, so I'm sure it'll work for the nexus 4 as well

Ah I see well this is a better explanation than the NO. I just didn't read well enough. Well tough luck, buddy. You're out of options then

Here is a better explanation of NO
the micro SD kickstarter you just linked is a small OTG device. Meaning it won't work with our nexus 4

Again not feasible as it would not have any power required.
Those cards are designed for the likes of cameras where you don't have to plug into your PC to transfer files off it. As there is no SD slot on the nexus 4. You would require another device with an SD slot to power it

[Q]Porting of NexSense 6.0 for nexus 5

hi to everybody , i found this on the nexus 5 forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/port-sense-6-0-m8-dev-t2703397?__utma=248941774.573565283.1393783423.1397553098.1397580170.195&__utmb=248941774.2.10.1397580170&__utmc=248941774&__utmx=-&__utmz=248941774.1396619636.153.6.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=(not%20provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=231964828
i only want to say this and bring it to your eyes , i think that a port of the sense 6 for the nexus 4 will be great

The Dev from that already said it isn't possible on the nexus 4

why?

Needs high knwoledge about kernel,binaries,etc..

It is close to impossible to port Sense to Nexus 4. Because HTC devices use different screen resolution than nexus 4. One should resize them for the Resolution of Nexus 4. Also It needs many Kernel tweaking and hacking. Availability of Binaries is a downfall.

Different chip sets.
Different screen
Different drivers
You see how most things still don't work on that port?
There is a LOT of back porting that needs to be done. Its already a pain on the N5. They've gotten far but its a lot of work. It would be near impossible to get sense completely working on your phone. You can always use the working Blink feed launcher and a theme if you must have sense 6

Very cool! I never expected Sense to be working on Google Nexus's devices.
