Really like this but overkill....

Hey all, my first post here. I bought this tablet and really like it but im torn. I have the Nexus 7 which i carry everywhere since it fits in my back pockets and i also have a macbook air. I have people left and right telling me that i dont need this tablet when i have those other 2. Feeling guilty here now i guess. I want to wait and see jellybean on it as well but should i just return it? I got it at bestbuy so returning it is not a problem.
Also, does anyone elses have a slight creak on the back around where the micro sd card slot is?
Thanks for your time

If you need a tablet with pen input then keep It. If not you are right It is a bit redundant.

I suppose i should. I dont really NEED the pen function but this tablet just screams amazing to me. I had an ipad 3 as well but i sold it once i tried this thing out. Its gonna hurt to return this -.-

I had the N7 and N10.1, sold the N7 decided to keep the 10.1.
Pre-ordered the N7 at GS, the lack of SD was a real issue.
Bought the 10.1 to give it a try, never touched the N7 again.

The last time I checked, we still have free will. That means you can have as many tablets as you want and you don't have to feel guilty about it.

you don't need it. but you sure as hell do want it!

Well let me put it this way.
Before I owned this tablet I owned the 7 inch HTC View. A fine tablet. I found myself using my phone to browse the web as often as I used the tablet because honestly, 7 inches just isn't much different than a phone.
Now that I have this tablet I NEVER use my phone to browse the web except when I am away from home. In that light, it may be your 7 inch tablet that is redundant and not your SGN10.1.

Yea i have guilt from everyone telling me to return it, plus it is pricey. I love my N7 too, i just use the otg cable with a 120gb hd when i need it
I havent learned everything i can do with the pen yet but just having it feels good haha. I want people to be able to sign pdfs and write there info in it correctly, i should be able to do this somehow right? Goodness im torn right now -.-

I also have a nexus 7, 15" laptop, and galaxy note 10.1. I felt guilty too but after awhile i realize they both serve different purpose. Nexus 7 is great size for ebook reading and games and the galaxy note 10.1 is great for music listening and watching movies as well as being able to take notes in class for me.
If i had to choose one it would be the galaxy note 10.1 for its overall utility.

I have both tablets and each has its place. I enjoy using the Nexus 7 for gaming since its the right size to not be too unwieldy moving it around.
The Note 10.1 is great for browsing, movies and music.... The Nexus 7 is also my "kindle" since its easier to hold. The Samsung is my multimedia device.... In fact I have a third tablet (The Acer A700) that I'm looking to sell *cough* since I no longer have a need for it. I would say you need to do what YOU need to do and don't be influenced by other people and have them make your decisions...

Thanks for all the help and advice. I prefer watching movies on it becuase i like the size and the speaker. If i didnt have my mac air this would be a non issue. I just feel i can do everything on the air and use the N7 on the go, but something in me wont let go of the Note haha. I love the touch and pen. Maybe im jusy crazy -.-

Your crazy? This is my eighth tablet ... I change gadgets like underpants. I also have a nexus 7 right now. I've stopped using it since I got the note 10.1 because my galaxy s3 is much more portable and the note is better for other uses such as web browsing and music (great speakers for a tablet and Wolfson dac).
Do other people judge me? Yes
Do I care? No
Half the time I think they are just envious of my awesome toys.
At any rate the note is in the same class as my s3 right now. First two devices I feel are amazing out of the box without having to root and tinker. First Androids I may keep more than a couple of months. In m my minds eye we are at a turning point for android. For the first time we have devices which can go head to head with iCrap and win. Even quite a few non tech savvy people are now choosing flagship Samsung devices over Apple because Samsung are starting to produce such nice gear.
Actually I'm kidding myself. I'll be getting an s4 and a note 10.1.2 shortly after they release. Maybe the next nexus phone as well ... sigh ... so hard to keep up with the tech.

If you can afford it keep them both, but if you have to sell something let it be that Mac Air

Yes, indeedy.

Is there a way to write accurately onto a PDF with this thing? I am a photographer and I would like to use it to possibly have release forms signed on this instead of using prints all the time. I am surprised that a few people want me to get rid of the Macbook Air to keep this =]
I dont play hardly any games on the Android platform really, either on the SG10 or the N7. I just use them for browsing, emails, movies, and reading. But yes, the SG10 is just one fine piece of work.
I do also have the S3 and had the original Note

I have four tablets ..an iPad, an 2 HTC views and now a Note 10.1. I use them all.
I love the 7 in HTC for work and taking meeting notes. It is small and works well around the office.
I have a second View which I like for books and take it with me a lot since it fits in the pocket. I also have 4G on it from.sprint.
The ipad has some cool music features apps like garage band and used it a lot but now with the 10.1 I am able to get all the songs and other content all in one platform. The pen integration is pretty cools as well

Should I buy a Nexus 10?

Having already written this post out a few times in lengthy detail only to have it lost thanks to my idiocy of hitting the refresh key and my battery dying amongst other things, I am going to keep this simple by asking whether or not I should purchase a 16 GB Nexus 10 tablet. I constantly fluctuate between rooms in my house, from the garden to the bedrooms and the living room, and carrying a laptop around with a rather pitiful battery life is hardly the most practical solution. Since I already own a Galaxy Note with a 5.3" display, the idea of a 7" tablet didn't appeal to me in the slightest. However, a 10" slate offers some potential. Should I buy one? I have a few issues regarding storage though. I am right in reading that it doesn't have an SD card slot, right?

Seems like it doesn't. Storage could be a problem - I almost used the whole 16GB on a Transformer (having all my files on an SD card! so only on apps!). What do you want to use it for?

I don't have a great quantity of apps on my phone, since I have no need for most of them on a phone. For example, I don't see a need nor have a desire to do Photoshop, Blogger and many more on a 5" display when I have a much larger display with a keyboard sitting somewhere within my house. However, if I purchased a tablet, I would want to do these things on it. I have compiled a list, since you asked, as to what I plan on using a tablet for.
Web browsing.
Blogger.
Angry Birds.
Other games.
Music.
Movies & TV.
Ebooks.
Taking photos.
Skype.
Instant messaging.
Calenders.
Notes.
Homework.
I have approximately 10 GB of music and movies/television alone. I worry that 16 GB won't be enough, but stretching to 32 GB is going to be even more difficult (it will take me awhile to raise funds for 16 GB model as is) and even then it isn't an abundance of storage.

In reality only you can answer that question.
I never buy anything just because others say I should.

That is understandable, but I would like to know some other opinions on the device and also potential solutions to the storage problem. The Nexus devices are all really amazing, yet I do feel the need to have more storage options!

I currently have the Transformer Prime and I too am possibly looking into purchasing the Nexus 10. Reasoning behind that is I feel that the Nexus line up will have a huge community (as seen in the Nexus 7). Its not that im unhappy with my transformer, I just like to have the next big thing. Only problems I have with the Nexus 10 is the overall look. It looks thick and cheap but the specs blow it out of the water. I would say if you have yet to purchase a tablet then wait for the 10, if you already have one like me, theres not much I can say.

Oh come on, 8.9mm isnt thick! I think it looks awesome. I already have the N7 but buying the N10 is very tempting because of the resolution.

I wouldn't jump so quickly on the n10 band wagon. Just look at what happened to the n7 the 8g got discontinued and now there is a 32g for 249. N10 might dump the 16 for a 32 to a 64g option. Also after 4.2 is loaded on the n10 your only going to have 13gigs on the 16g n10 and that is not enough.

You know, that's a great point. I've been excited about the Nexus 10, but I have the 7 (16GB) and I'm feeling a little burned. Google didn't wake up and say "let's release a 32GB at the same price point to screw over all the current 16GB owners!" but it does feel that way. So, I am not upset with Google, but I still can't help but feel that I'd have been better off waiting. I'm going to wait it out on the Nexus 10 for a while. Thanks for the point about this, you saved me lots of $

I don't get this. I have the 16GB GNex and 16GB GTab and the only reason I've run out of space on either is when I forget to delete previous nandroid backups before copying over videos for a long trip. I mainly use my Tab for ebooks, or videos while travelling. When I'm at home I stream over WiFi off my NAS.
That said, I'll be buying the 32GB version of the N10 just for the 1080 goodness.

The only people that are really going to have storage issues are gamers, music buffs and people that want more than 5 movies on their device. Would you go out and buy a new laptop with only 16GB of storage? Lol of course not. My laptop has 750GB. I'm just saying that these new 10inch tablets are more of a laptop replacement and 16 to 32GB is not enough storage at least for me. If I didn't buy a n10 I would be shopping for a new laptop but I'm not even considering it. I don't want my data fragmented some here some there. I want the same content I have on my laptop on my tablet.
I'm constantly having to erase content to add new content on my 16GB n7.

I was going to buy the Nexus 10, until I realized two things:
1- The aspect ratio is 16:9... that sucks.. Even the Nook HD+ (9inch) is wider (because it has 3:2 aspect ratio)
2- It appears that there is no optically-bonded display.. so it will be useless outdoors..

I thought that too, but it is confirmed to be 16:9..
Here is the proof:
http://www.google.com/nexus/10/
Look at the specs in "Movies"
EDIT: I dont know what to believe.. I measured some pictures of N10, and it gives me an exact 1.6 aspect ratio (16:10).. But the specs in google's web are clear about 16:9.

I'm with you, it looks like they brought in Fisher Price as consultants when you compare it to a Transformer. I was going to buy the 7, but the wife wisely told me to consider a 10". After that decision was made is was on to the Transformer when rumor had this thing pushed to next year, with consideration for the surface. Even though it doesn't look awesome, I'll be buying.

You can keep your anti-wifi, shiny metal housings. The Nexus 10 design is pure, practical comfort. The rubberized backing is much more comfortable to hold than a cold metal backing. The increased friction from the rubber will make it easier to one-hand and the rounded design will feel natural in your hands. This is one thing I don't like about my Transformer TF101, the 90 degree metal edges on the sides, you know, where you hold it 99% of the time. Cuts in to my hands after a few mins.
"the tablet has a rubberized sort of feel that's actually quite pleasant to the touch."

Keep in mind I'm not a Starbucks go-er so envy-of-others isn't on my checklist before buying a tablet.

If you were sure that the ipad was not the choice, the Nexus 10 would be what you want.

Storage Solution
If you're worried about storage space, why not consider using Google Drive as a solution? You get 5GB free and you can purchase up to 16TB. Their large size plan for consumers is 100GB for $5 a month ($60 a year, not super costly considering phone bill prices these days). You can upload anything you want and access it across all your devices. For example, I have uploaded pictures, video files (mkv and they play brilliantly on my Nexus 7), and I regularly use drive to share PDFs for pen and paper role playing games with my friends so we can collaborate on the game outside of actually playing it (not to mention easy access to the material whilst gaming). Also, I'll note that I haven't even had to buy more storage space yet, I'm still only using a gig or two of my 5 free gigs.

If I wanted to stream stuff, I'd stream it from my home PC rather than share with google and pay a subscription price for the storage I need.
I'm just going to either connect my phone to it with a USB otg cable and share its 64GB microsdxc card most of the time for media and save the internal storage for apps where I'm still worried I'll need more than 16Gb. A lot of people forget that that includes the OS files and that formatted it will be less.

[Q] Is 7 inches good of reading ebooks?

At college, planning to buy all books as ebooks, any comments from those who read on the 7 in displays?
This is to determine whether to get nexus 7 / 10. I want one of this, but my main purpose is for the ebooks.

The N7 is adequate for reading, but if your primary use is reading textbooks, I'd go for the ten incher. You'll save a lot of zooming and scrolling.
Also consider how good your eyes are.
I do a LOT of reading on mine, but it's relatively short material. I HATED reading the 800+ page PDF training book for my A+ class on my N7.

Its really good for reading formatted text that fills the whole page. Its still good for reading normal books, its just that zooming in a lot isn't ideal.

It really depends on preference. Some people like them bigger than others. I personally like 7 inches because its lighter and easier to hold. More than 7 inches I have to use two hands (my hands are medium in size). Its not always a case of the bigger the better, its a matter of how you use it/what you are used to
Regardless, I think you will get used to whatever you have. Because I have a 7 inch I find 10 inches too big and heavy, they are hard to move around and a bit inconvenient. I would probably think the other way around if I had a 10 inch though.
This is my serious opinion with the screen size. But sometimes when I think its too small, I use the "expand desktop" feature on CM and PA to get more screen space.
But I think if you're using it as a school textbook its too small. Maybe as a novel its okay but too small for a textbook

I've done a lot of reading on my N7 in the kindle app, but I'm not sure it's optimal for textbooks. I think if I was going to use a tablet as my sole resource I'd go for a 10 incher.

[Q] General Questions and about a Stylus Pen

Okay I finally decided I'm going to buy a tablet and I think the Nexus 7 is the one to get.
Couple quick questions...
It's primary usage is going to be as a PDF reader so I can read my books on it and highlight the PDF documents. With that said, is the 7" a decent size for this or should I go with a larger 10" model? In addition, I'm going to want to use a stylus pen to highlight with rather than my hand. With that said, what's the best option to buy as an aftermarket pen? I'm likely going to purchase the ezPDF program for this function. Good app or is there a better one out there?
Thirdly, I'll use it for multimedia playback as well. Does it have a limitation on file size (e.g. 4GB limit) or can I drop a 12GB MKV file on it and have at it (or does it need to be split up?). Thanks.
If the Nexus 7 doesn't fit the bill for these things do you guys have any other recommendations on a tablet? I'm not looking to break the wallet on this one so the 32GB seems to be where I'm aiming at the moment.
Sorry for all the questions but I figured I'd put them all in one thread rather than posting several.

You should definitley go with the 10 inch tablet.

I have the 7in and the reason I was even looking at the Nexus 7 to begin with is due to it's PERFECT size as a reader. IMO, a 10 is way too big to carry around with you everywhere and hold in your hands to read. The 7in is about the same width and height of the average book and slips right into my bag to be used anywhere. As a student, I predominantly use mine for PDFs and books too, and it is PERFECT. Between the native reader and the office suite app, I have no problems loading or viewing PDFs, docs, or even power points. I've viewed 50page+ power points on this tablet with ease.
But, this is just my opinion of course. The best thing for you to do is hold both the 7 and 10 inch for yourself to see which best suits your needs.
I also watch plenty of tv show episodes I've torrented. My files have all played flawlessly. When turned in landscape, it's a really great size to watch movies and shows on. I have the portenzo bookcase which can turn into a stand and it makes for sick Sons of Anarchy viewing in crisp HD. :d
[Sent from my Nexie7. Pardon errors.]

Firstly: the 7 is great for me, reading and also annotating. Ezpdf is good but I now prefer mantano pro.
Secondly don't worry too much about expensive pens for highlighting, I grab styluses from the pound shop here in the UK as my kids keep losing them and they work absolutely fine.
Thirdly I believe that the partition is formatted with the Linux ext filesystem (some one will correct me if I am wrong) so you shouldn't have any worries there.

I actually tried to download 5-6GB torrent, single file, and it didn't work, seems like 4gb is the limit.. Didn't try to look for solution, just continued download on pc
And for reading, I find it very nice, I'm also a student, and I open a lot of PDFs. Screen is really sharp, and the 7" fits perfectly.. 10" is a bit too much for me to carry around, that's the reason I've got nexus instead of my old 10.1" netbook..

okay purchased two Nexus 7's. One for me (32GB) and one for the girlfriend (16GB). Hope it ships now it says "delivered in 3 - 5 days" and I'm out of town in 8 days...don't let me down Google!!! :silly:
BTW I was surprised to see Google charges taxes...

Your Last Question..
I have tried many stylus.. Get a JOT PRO... it works better then anything else out there. Thou its not perfect its in my opinion the only real choice there is .
Hope you enjoy your new Tablet....

After reading this thread and some searching on XDA I went with the 8 stylus pens for $8.99 thing. This way I have a girl color one to give with the 16GB tablet.
Any quick pointers to threads I should glance at and things I should do with this device? Any good tablet specific apps or things I should be looking at?

I recently bought a hand stylus. It's a rubber tip pen but the tip is only 4mm thick. It's a bit steep at 30$, but I like the quality of it. And the tips are replaceable which is nice.
It can be hard to justify a $30 stylus when you can get 15 cheap ones for half the price on amazon, but I do love mine. Handstylus.com

I bought this N7 bundle for $16. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZHB6QC/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I just really wanted the case (which ended up being my favorite out of the many I've gotten) but it came with a stylus. Now I'm a stylus user. The one it came with works great and the case has a pen loop for it which is even better. As for 7" or 10", I prefer 7. I've had many tablets including the iPad and the 10 is just too big. It starts to become a pain in the ass to carry it around after a while. There hasn't been a moment with the 7 where I wished I had a bigger screen.

I have had a couple of stylus but many of them have thick ends, ok to select stuff when on the net and stuff but to draw with or write they are also. I have been looking for one with a slim top more like a pen to write with but havn't settled on one yet.

Have a G2 , buying Nexus 7 make any sense ?

just thinking of trying a tablet , iPad mini retina is too expensive for me , should i try Nexus 7 2013 ? is the extra 1.8inch size worth it ?
or just just save up and get something next year and stick to Macbook Air + G2 combo ?

No Nexus 7 Inch etc. I have that combo... G2 and Nexus 7 and I am selling the Nexus....
Its really no use if its only you who will use it. If more ppl will have access to the tablet etc, maybe, okay.
Also depends how you gonna use it. If you want to have it lying arround at home next to your G2, no use.
If you wanna take it somewhere like on travels, trips, waiting 12 hours in an Airport. And you do not own a laptop. Okay, maybe?
But still its better go for something like N10.
The difference is really not that big that it would be an clear advantage.
I mean if you can choose between 10 inch and 7 inch, and you are not a small woman or man, and then 10 is too big for you, then again 7 might be fine.
I would suggest, go into a store and check the sizes. But the N7 to the G2 om regards of size is not a good reason to consider

I have an N7 and I love it. It's a perfect match for the G2, for me.
First off, the market clearly shows the popularity of the 7" format for tablets. After owning an N7 for a year, not only have friends/family switched from the larger iPad format, now when I see people in public using iPads they look downright awkward - kinka like they are lugging around home plate.
Second, the 7" tablet format is friendlier than the G2-sized format for reading and web browsing. Evern though the actual size difference is not as constrasting as it would be with an iPad, the actual usage patterns throughout the day are very different. It's a joy to hold and use my N7 when browsing in front of the TV or reading at bedtime. I don't reach for my G2 for this. Is this a luxury? For me it is - but I like it.
All this said, this is just MY experience. What works for you may be different, and I don't pretend to know what will work for you. Just wanted to share my 2 cents.

I have both, and use both. Really, only you know your life well enough to know how you would use your devices.

I have both and love both. I also have the Xoom and don't like the 10" size. The Nexus 7 can't really be compared to the G2 imo. The experience on the N7 is much better for just about everything.

I have both and love it. Phone is great for being out and about. Tablet is perfect for laying in bed or sitting on the couch. Perfect combo!

I have both and don't be fooled, the screen size difference is significant. I don't play games or read or watch Netflix on my phone. I couldn't live without my N7 and its small enough to fit in my back jeans pocket and its always in my back pack. F iTunes I'd never buy a product that restricted me having to use iTunes or some proprietary software app to connect it to my PC.

Yep, big difference in screen size. Yep, Itunes sucks....Google Music is way better and less bloated.

I have G2 and ipad retina 10' , I don't feel like I need a smaller tablet and I have access to both app store. I'd say 80% of my friends have Iphone and ipads so I can talk to them with apple only apps like facetime and imessage.

The best thing about Nexus is portability. Back pocket ftw
