Which keyboard did you buy?
And I'm pretty sure there was a post in this forum where someone was able to get a case with a qwerty slider meant for a gs3 and with a little bit of effort on his part, was able to get the N4 to fit

[Solved] Stylus Support

This seems like such a noob question but I really don't wanna go through with buying a Nexus 10 and it not support using a Stylus. So: Does it support using a Stylus?
I assume it does but stranger things have happened, and I dont wanna be out $400! Really need to be able to use one with this!
It won't support a capacitive stylus like the note but it will support the normal inductive type just like any other tablet...

You switched it around. It'll support a capacitive stylus but it's no where as accurate as the digitizer found in the Note.

[Q] Nexus 7 accident

Hi,
I opened my nexus 7 to readjust the back cover so that it would not creak anymore. In the process, I accidently snapped one of the protruding tiny copper prongs/hooks off. The one closest to the four docking pins on the side of the nexus. It doesn't seem like it connects to anything so I'm not too worried, but is this a problem?
You're screwed

It will make it so you can't use the dock but probably won't effect the actual tablet functions.

I appreciate the answer. Are you completely sure? Not that I'm ever going to use the dock but this still bothers me a little.

The dock is for charging and sound. The pin that broke could be one half of either. Either way its just for dock functions.

If things like a broken pogo pin connector are going to bother you, leave the case closed, leave well alone!

Buying Used : Tips?

Im purchasing a used Note 10.1 tomorrow and was wondering if there is anything specific I should be looking for on a used unit. It is supposedly in perfect condition and just has not been used as much as the original owner thought he would.
Thanks!
There was one guy who had problem with the S pen, so see if its work 100% as it should.
Physical condition is important but i think u will see that anyway.
ps. if the guy has flashed something on the note 10.1, then do check if the tablet has still its IMEI
there was one guy who had lost his imei and tried to sell me his phone lol
Make sure camera works. Check to see if there are any dead spots with touch screen(go to app drawer & touch different icons & move them around), make sure s-pen works, check for scratches or marks on screen & body. If you can tether to your phone or in a place with wifi, make sure you can connect to wifi, see if maps can get a gps lock.
Running a benchmark or two is not a bad idea.

[Q] A good car holder for the Nexus

Hi,
I'm looking for a good car mount for my device. I need to be able to attach it the the AC vent and to rotate it 360 degrees.
After searching a lot I found:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxmo-Car-M...1731?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3eaaae93
I found many others of course, but they are cheap and they don't seem to be good quality. For example, this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Air-Ven...6215?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3e515577
I want your opinion, do you think anyone of them is good?
Also, I know of clingo:
http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-vent-mount
This basically holds your phone with some kind magnet (don't think its really a magnet, don't know what it is), but I'm afraid it will somehow ruin the back of my phone (even though I put a case on, I'm very very fanatic about my Nexus. Very).
Is there anyone here who has ever tried it and can give me an opinion?
Thanks!
Anyone?

I am totaly happy with my brodit holder.It is a car specifc car mount which combines with a device specific clip. I bought the mount once and now I am with my 3rd device changing only the clip and its perfect.
What do you mean changing the clip? And can this holder hold the Nexus even when it has a case? I'm using the rinkge fusion.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The holder has two components. One, the holder, attaches to the car, different models for different cars or even the place in your car you want to mount it.And the other, the clip, is specific to the device you have, i.e different devices different clips. So if you change your device you just have to buy a new clip not the whole set.
And No saddly but no, you can't use the Nexus 4 or any other device while in a case.
i use this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mountek-iPh...2334?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item232506ddbe
i don't use my CD player because i use my aux in from my phone
plus, when i had a window-mount for my nexus s, on very hot or very cold days it would fall off the window... and i'm not willing to see my nexus 4 fall off the window and explode on impact
Strra can I use it with a case on the nexus?
that's very important to me

Hi,
I just bought the item I posted in the OP:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxmo-Car-M...1731?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3eaaae93
Is it possible I would have problems with this if the Nexus is in a case?
Thanks!
Try this one. It's very solid and easy to use.

yeah, it's plenty big enough to hold the nexus with a case. i use it with my bumper with no issues. i believe it says it's even big enough to hold a note2 with a case, if that gives you any idea

What physical keyboard do you use and why?

I searched back a few months and didn't find to much about people recommending a good keyboard.
So...
Pretty simple what do you use, why and would you recommend it?
Also, I came across this. Do any of you have any information on it?
Google Keyboard. The latest update adds a lot of additional settings; it's fast, free, accurate, and of course from Google! Couldn't ask for much else in a good keyboard.

Like a physical keyboard or app.
Physical keyboard I use a logitech one
Ass for the App I switch of between swype and swiftkey. I like how you can use extensions on swype compared to swiftkey, but I like the accuracy on swiftkey better and the merging of the lanuage into one instead of separate like in swype
My bad, I meant a physical keyboard
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I've been using SwiftKey on both phone and tablet, but the poor accuracy on my phone has been annoying lately.

Apple bluetooth keyboard. Extremely light so it's easy to carry, keys feel great, pairs in seconds.

That's my experience as well. It works a lot better on the tablet then on the phone. Probably the keys are to small on the phone...

I use Switkey for the soft keyboard across all devices. For my N10's physical, I use
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-BlueToot...953815&sr=1-1&keywords=Nexus+10+moko+keyboard
The keyboard's removable and held in via magnets, and works beautifully

I have that case/keyboard as well. Its a steal for a case and keyboard combothis inexpensive.
I use the HP Touchpad Bluetooth keyboard and gotta recommend it, great shape, nice keys and pretty cheap (I gave £25 for it but seen them just now for £15 on eBay). There are 2 models UK and US spec. Oh and I've had the batteries in there since January so it's all good from my point of view.

I got a Motorola Xoom keyboard off eBay and its been great. Light and almost full size. For some odd reason 2 fun keys are off but for $15 I won't complain.

The HP Touchpad's keyboard really is amazingly good. It's in the same class as the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in my opinion, and usually a fair bit cheaper. The keys do feel a like they have a tad more "friction" though on the travel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there also a keyboard/trackpad variant of that keyboard? It looks like it would be an amazing complement to an Android tablet.
As for the Moko case users, they're good (had one on my Galaxy Tab), but I never could get behind the weirdly tiny keys near the spacebar/bad travel, even in such a thin case.
