have a gr8 time with your gnex
I have both sgs2 and gnex, to be honest I like sgs2 more. not fan of blue theme, too damn hard to read under direct sunlight. but if you wanna pure Google experience then Gnex is the way to go. not to mention there are many talented devs in gnex section. good luck.

Nah.
I would also go for gnex If it had external sd. The hd screen, pure google experience with open sources for everything. But the memory is just not enough for me.

Because development is a lot easier on nexus phones, they have more dev support and also all the updates are pushed by google themselves. So yeah they are better!
Who cares ?
When i was his age i most certainly did not fall in love with a phone . It must be the chemicals they put in the water .

Damn this is becoming more common these days lol.Its a condition known as "OS" that is "Object Sexuality" (not operating system lol)

It's funny how the only phone that competes with the SGS2 is a Samsung built AOSP phone... And there are tons of SGS2 users that go to Gnex. But no Vice-versa.

funny....i have been seeing the exact opposite. I think prices for the gnex are actually cheaper than the sgs2 in Canada. I had it for a day, i can see why it would be.
"pure google experience with open sources for everything" Sounds like a contradiction! Google are monsters!

Heh. Looks like different experiences. I've seen alot of gnex for sale on Kijiji at ridiculously low prices, so you may be right. On these forums though, I've only seen people leaving to the gnex forums as of now...
The SGS2 in Canada annoys though, 3 different phones: Galaxy S2X from Telus, i9100M from Bell/Virgin, Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers...

I know these types of threads are kind of a no no. But I just want some rooted users experiences. I have watched way to many reviews and am always left wanting more. So how is the nexus 7? Was it everything you expected? Any defects I should look at when I first get it? Thanks.

Depends what you want from it. Watched seven hours of movies on my bus ride yesterday. Definitely worked great for that.

To be honest, just a toy. Something I can use around the house or whenever I go anywhere and don't want to carry my laptop. Also for magazines books and so on and so forth. I don't think it's bad for around ~260 need the 16gb since I have 4+ gbs alone in music. Also would be nice to use rather than my nexus for gaming and video etc.

better than expected, much. gaming is an awesome experience on it, web browsing is very natural(but not chrome, the android browser), batter life blows everything away, and then theres its performance..
It's great. I don't personally own one but someone in my family does and it's a nice little tablet. Only problem he had was he couldn't watch flash videos online but I solved that by installing a Flash .apk file and installing Firefox as the browser. Gaming is epic due to it's quad core.
flash plays fine on the android browser too, included with aosp, not with stock(chrome).
Well should have the means to purchase it next month. Hopefully nothing comes up. Can't wait to see what it's all about. How about some of the ROM's and kernels? Not asking your combos just how are they.

So what about the goodies from Google. How long does that last? Should be able to purchase the beginning of next month.

Not sure how long it will last, there is no way to tell. Just get it when you can as soon as you can. If you get them, awesome. If not, you got it as early as you could, so you couldn't have gotten it anyways.

Enviado desde mi MB525 usando Tapatalk 2
I honestly couldn't be happier. It is the fastest and smoothest tablet I have ever used, even moreso than the ipad. Finally Android has matured to that level... or the hardware has gotten to where it needs to be
I'll tell ya, the best thing about this tablet is the size. I used to be very down on the 7 inch form factor, but there is something special about it that makes me want to use this thing WAY more than my transformer.
Love this tablet.. can't believe it was only 250$

Lol I laughed at this. When I saw this thread I was like, "noooo this can't be him." Well it was. Lol
Anyways, I wanna know(not trying to steal your thunder ÜBER™, just don't want to start a similar thread here) how strong development is already here. I know it'll get stronger. But what do we have as of now??? Because I want to buy a 16GB N7 too and root it out of the box, but I want to be able to pick from a variety.
I'm also worried about that I'm going to get bored of this device since I have a GNexus. I'm on the same boat as ÜBER™ as turning it into a toy. I also wants this for it's leathery feel(IMO), THE PRICE!!!!! and back pocket friendly design.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
I just got mines last night and I cant put it down lol. This is the first tablet ive owned and its the perfect size to me. If only it had a sd card slot. It truly is the perfect companion to carry around. Two thumbs up!!
So I just sold my iPad and ordered the Nexus 7
After reading all these threads about screens cracking by themselves among other issues I am a bit paranoid.
Anyway any advice or tips as this is my first Android device
Thanks :good:
Don't worry about it until it happens to you... I've got two of these things and they have none of these problems... just remember... happy customers don't go to forums and start a thread about " why is my tablet so perfect?"... so a lot of what you see here are people looking for a solution to a problem... and even if you see a thousand posts on the same "screen lifting" thread... it only represents a small percentage of actual production... MOST users get a nexus, love a nexus, get addicted to a nexus, complain about lack of sleep
You should be all good... the odds are in your favor

Mine tried to kill me in my sleep one night, I did a factory reset and it hasn't done it since. But really I have two with no issues. If you read all these threads about complaints I think you start looking for issues. I have a $2500 8000 series Samsung led TV and the screen isn't perfect either.

Since you are new to Android, I recommend leaving it stock and see how you like it. You might decide stock is the way you like it! If not, at least you will have an idea what you want different from stock.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2
Zero issues with mine so far also. And you want want to stay stock for very long. There are a number of great ROMs out there and its fun checking them out. Nexus 7 toolkit works great for rooting as does wugs.

Don't worry about it. I would recommend buying a good screen protecter because only after a couple of days my screen had a few scratches on it.

You might want to use the toolkit to unlock the bootloader. If you wait until later it will wipe all your data. You can always wait to root and ROM later.
I agree with Krista that you might not want to get too carried away to begin with. Check out the bean for all its glory before you roam elsewhere, so you'll know what you are missing.
Forums always collect all the bad feedback. You have to consider how many are sold, good vs bad. Mine is a C8O and has been perfect out of the box. None of the horror stories that I've read and I would take certain issues with a grain of salt.
When you get it, just play around with it. Don't be afraid to long press or swipe. Often times new menu options open when you long press something.

Hi everybody,
Today could be my last day using the amazing but unfortunately outdated HTC wildfire ( willy) its been an amazing introduction to Android for me and I will always remember this phone.
Its time for me to move onwards and upwards as my Nexus 4 is awaiting my love at my local TNT depot.
There are so many members current and old that wish to thank but out of respect of not including or forgetting certain people I will restrain from names in the hope that you know I am and will always be thankful to YOU.
I love the willy community and will still be around and will try my hardest not to disapear totally but that is easier said than done. Anybody I have had a rare conflict with here please don't ever take it serious or personal and know I am always just a pm away.
So for a great forum and even greater community, I bid you farewell for now but not forever.
Kindest regards
CHRIS.

Are you using CWM 6 recovery ? I know it makes backups really fast.
Actually, my wildfire makes faster backups than my Pro !
I know it's normal because it's system partition is smaller and they both run on CWM 5...

I personally don't like CWM anymore. I dislike the quick backup system they have. Because it creates a "common files" folder I can't clean up the storage from the PC so really anymore. That and the fact that I can queue up the files I want to flash and the theme support makes me stay on TWRP
