I am excited to buy my Nexus 7 but i have a few questions before i unload the cash. First of all, i was wondering if i could use a OTG cable to connect the charger, a keyboard and a usb drive. Is this possible or am i better off getting this Asus Transformer (http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/) Also, is it possible to use a bluetooth keyboard instead and still use a usb without it being plugged in? Lastly, is it really large enough for typing essays, etc or is it a bad idea, Thanks for the answer
I would suggest you to go with the transformer rather than the nexus,because depending on your needs transformer suits you the best

How is it for you owners on tethering when your out and about ? Is it annoying you have to turn on your wifi on the mobile and then turn it off again ? Is there a big drain on battery life on your mobiles ?
I am about to buy the asus but concerned with the hassel of using it outside with no 3g built in and relying on my Nesux One.
Also does the USB port on the keyboard dockcharge other plugged in device ?
Sorry if any of this has been asked before.
Tethering my TF was actually really annoying until I started using an app called AutoTether, which lets me turn the access point on my N1 on and off from the tablet. It's kind of like a remote control for tethring, and it really makes things much easier. Still kills my phone's battery life, but not as much as if I had the hotspot on all the time.
Seams great on my Galaxy sii, but only tested it at home for 30 min. Will be testing for longer and away from home soon.
Well I took the plunge and purchased the transformer last week from Comet online, very impressed, however the unit had a dead pxiel right in the middle of the screen so I am awaiting for an exchange but now I have just read the 3g is coming out in August so the question is should I now return and order the 3g version ? Or really it makes no difference if you tether.
Normally I always bring usb cable and while tethering I connect the usb cable so that the TF&dock will charge my phone.

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.

-better screen
-faster processor
-its a GED
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
There are several same memory sticks of high capacity that would fit nicely jsut under the nexus and provide much needed extra memory. wonder if such a thing is available or indeed possible?
You can use an OTG USB Adapter, device must mehr rooted, and use the tool"stick mount:
If device is unrooted You can use the "nexus Media importer" from market.
Cheers

Yes thanks I understand that but a memory stick with an micro interface wouldn't need the cable. know they don't exist but wondered if any technical issue that would rule them out.
I think, there might be a problem to harm your connector port if the USB stick isn t quite small, a flexible cable is the better choice in my opinion...
But your idea is interresting..

I thought this was interesting too. Until I realised you'd need an adaptor to plug it into a computer. So no real benefit ...LOL

I bought a 64GB Kingston usb drive and use 'Nexus Media Importer", works great with HD films and music etc. It's a shame it can't be used as an SD card enabling installation of apps etc to it. Oh well, maybe in the future or I finally root my Nexus 7.

You need to provide more info for help. Usb stick size? Stick speed? Usb hub, or just the straigh otg ? Are you makimg sure your using the 13.04 inage, and not the 12.10? What is the name of the image your trying to flash?
When posting questions, provide as much as info as possible. People are helping for free. Dont make us work for it. Having said that, provide the info and I will be more than happy to help as much as possible.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
2 different sticks, one 4gb one 16gb, have no idea what speed they are or how to find that out. Both straight otg. Yes, using the current image, file name is
raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img
Sorry for not providing pertinent info, wasn't aware of what was required for help.

If it is not mounting, it is possible that the image download is corrupted. You may need to download again.
Installing to and booting from slower usb devices is also far from ideal. The type that the dev bought to use was a16 Gb that cost $75. Definitely not a basic stick that can be bought from wal mart. Unless you have a high end usb stick or an external hdd with its own power source, your experience will be extremely slow, and possibly almost unusable. If you do use a fast device, I recommend formatting it to ext4, and stay away from ntfs and fat32 all together.

I'll try ext4 tonight and download the img again, thanks!

I am looking into getting Crombi kk for my tf300. I want to be sure of some things first. Does the HDMI port work with this Rom? Does the sd slot work with it as well?

When I used it, the HDMI port did work and the SD card did as well. The HDMI was a little glitchy though. I had to unplug and replug it a few times before it worked.
