HOX and N7. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am an Android lover and a Apple hater.
I have a HOX currently which is a massive phone.
I was wondering, I really want a tablet, but am trying to decide whether 7 inch is big enough, as I have a near enough 5 inch phone?
Those of you with a big phone, S3/HOX could you tell me if you still think the N7 is worth the purchase?
I went to HMV and had a little play with the N7 and am still undecided, but I think 10 inch is way to big for me. and the only 8.9 inch tab is the Galaxy Tab, which I think is a bit out of my budget.
Any help appreciated, like after a while using the N7 does the 2 inch difference in size make a big enough difference to warrant purchasing an N7?
THANKS ALL !

I was pissed when i heard this cuz i just but the Asus Transformer 3weeks ago and now i hear about this.. This Nexus Tablet batter make it toss my Asus Transformer out the window.. Cuz i dont see no improvement hardware wise with the galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2
if you want one now, the xoom is basically an nexus tablet. well just have wait an see, for an few months.
If Nexus Tab:Nexus Phone::Galaxy Tab:Galaxy Phone, I'll stick with Galaxy phones and tabs for superior hardware, since Touchwiz is becoming driver support rather than ui.

I can totally understand that. I would be pissed too!
How has the Transformer been for you so far? Any regrets buying it besides a newer model coming out?

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)
Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

IM loving this thing. I use it for everything .. I just wish it had a lil more support when it comes to development.. No im not upset about prime cuz i got my transformer for a good deal and plus quad-core is only good for gaming which i dont do much of on a tablet..

Agree - I've been eyeing a Galaxy Tab myself, thinking of upgrading from the Nook. Hopefully though, the Google tablet does happen - the more choices, the merrier

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

Living with the Galaxy Note: Thoughts After 5 Days

Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.
Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...
Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?

the Note is supreme, the one to rule them all...The only thing I can see missing is IR port, so it could be used as a TV remote, then it would have been the complete phone..the ultimate..
Ericsson P800 had everything, it was supreme...crappy screen and touch function, but not far from the best.

That's amazing! I congratulate you on your great luck!
Same opinion, this Note is great.
So great that my Archos Tablet is lying on my table and I nearly don't use it anymore
A great review, and he's very entertaining! I agree with him about the size and power of the note making it more than a phone. Any future upgrade will have to be to something very similar to my note.

Great video. I think alot of people thought the same way when they first take a look at it.
Its funny how normal the note is once you get use to it. You only really notice how big it is when you use another device.
Great review couldn't have said it better myself!

Yeah i'm subbed to that guy....great vids! And yes....the Note is the BEST!
It is an awesome phone. I've had mine for about a month mine. Switched from an iPhone 4S. Took me a while to get accustomed but after trying multiple roms and kernels, I now don't think I'd go back to the 4S.
mine arrived yesterday, and its a great device, other than I am still wiping drool from it..

Haha yeah my thoughts exactly on 3g/4G tablets. But in all seriousness the n7 is a great device. Brilliant display, awesome specs, jelly bean with full Google support, perfect size and weight, great price, and lots of dev support here I'd also recommend getting the 16gb, the extra memory is always a nice touch. Granted the n7 doesn't have a micro sd slot BUT it does have a few "walk around" options for expandable storage via usb otg I know I must seem like a salesman but truth be told I absolutely love my n7 and that's why I think u should join the rest of us, submit to the peer pressure lol

Jellybean, and the pure Google experience is what sealed the deal for me on the Nexus 7. Jellybean is super smooth and as someone who owns an iOS device, I thought Android would seem jittery or laggy in comparison. Not so. Google did a good job on Project Butter.
And rooting the thing is sooo easy.
Was I convincing enough?

8GB, I never used much storage on my TF300T, plus I am a student, so the price difference was enough to stick with 8.
I got the 16gb, but I had a 64gb version ipad and I still wonder why I had to have so much storage. I've filled the 16gb n7 already but I could always scale back if necessary.

Q: Nexus 10 -> problems?

Hello,
Are there many problems with the nexus 10?
i'm about to order one in America but I had really bad luck with my Nexus 7 .. speaker blown after 3 days :cyclops:
So are there many problems or is this product "oké"?
Best regards!
All you have to do is a little reading around the forums to find your answer. The issues have all been thoroughly discussed, but I'd say the vast majority (including myself) are quite happy with the device overall.

i'm just a bit afraid the device costs 399dollar in US, but in the EU the same device costs 729 dollar +/- so its a big difference!
I'm guessing i'll take my odds.

I personally can't wait to get rid of my Nexus 10. Thing is going on craigslist as soon as this semester ends and I can sell it. Going back to iPad+Android phone. Android tablets just aren't there yet.
My beef is with Samsung repair centers. I'd otehrwise love my tablet, but I've only used it 3-4 weeks despite owning it for over 12 now.
I love my Nexus 10. It is the most powerful tablet out there. Except you want to enjoy some iNarrowmindedness of course. :silly:

I'm not quite sure what you're wanting out of this thread. It looks like you have your heart pretty much set on the Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4 is well worth it and is a fast device with plenty of customization. I'd say go for it.
I'm confused as to why you posted about the Nexus 7, that's a tablet. If you were debating whether to get the Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 and that depends on if you need a phone or a tablet.

I'd say the Nexus 7 is a solid tablet. I'm buying one as soon as they come out with a new version. I'm waiting for a new version simply because I don't see myself really needing it, I just want it so I can wait. If you want a tablet, I'd say go for Nexus 7. If you're wondering which is better between Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and putting the phone vs tablet argument aside, I'd say Nexus 4 is a little better. I hear the Nexus 7 suffers a little bit from stuttering. Not much, but a little bit. I think it's because of the CPU in the Nexus 7. Anyway, I'd buy both if you could afford it. They're both really cool and I am excited to buy a Nexus 7 to match my Nexus 4.
ok but why shoudl i have a tablet, phone at same time:?! i saw many ppl in this forum got phone and tablet!
tablet big screen phone small screen..
sums up evrything
ok and does the on screen buttoms disable at gaming? dont care much for other stuff
so,,, tablet for reading ebooks and stuff but having both at same time is a little bit wired ! anyway i dont read book! i can do it in smartphone anyway daily news and stuff (ofc bigger screen is better for web!)
