Gonna pull the trigger but...

I have been plugging away on my GS3 with CM10 and loving it. Really want the N7 but will going from 4.8 to 7 inch screen significantly improve the experience enough to justify two devices?

I have an Infuse with a 4.5 and it looks small in comparison, of course I have been using a Nook Color for a tab so I knew what I getting into with the 7". Using the keyboard in landscape mode is great!!!!!

As somebody who owns a GS3 I feel it was totally worth the buy. I primarily use my phone when I'm on the go. When I get home it is all Nexus 7 for me. The bigger screen makes it much easier to browse the internet with.

I was wondering the same thing. I have my GS3 running AOKP, which I love...but this tablet looked perfect. I have a 10" HP, which was a bit too big to be comfortable in bed and typing on it sucked. This tablet is perfect for me...and I just flashed AOKP!! Bought it today so I am still in love with it. I didn't think I was going to keep it...but I was very wrong. Go for it bro!!

Just in case you do need further reassurance, I also have a sgs3 as well as a Nexus 7. My phone is for on the go, and my tablet is more for gaming like asphalt 7 and such.

I haven't used my phone all night, other than to respond to text messages. This pad is perfect. I could not be happier. Worst case buy o e and try it out. You could always return it. I had almost every I intention of doing that since this was not in my budget...but its that good that I'm keeping it.

I bought one recently and I don't like it at all. Probably because of the lack of custom roms. I'm a cyanogenmod person =x

Yeah, I see at least 2 cm10 nightlies and a couple more based on cm10. Not sure what he's on about.

you'll be glad you got it. I keep my phone in my pocket all the time and have it Bluetooth tethering my n7. I use my tab to text, make calls, etc. Very rarely do I ever use my phone anymore.

I don't get it, when we have an HTC or Samsung phone, we go to great measures to remove the stock Ui and only dream to have a pure android experience on it.
This is exactly what we have here. A pure android experience. Not sure what you're looking for when you look for a custom rom on the N7?

Odd yeah? I just prefer the tweaks of cyanogenmod and it's launcher. Feels faster than stock.

A Hummingbird

I was sitting on my porch, letting my dog walk on the yard when a hummingbird flew to our little feeder beside me. It scared me cause its wings are so loud, but when I noticed what it was, it immediately made me think of this special place. Little old Epic and its Hummingbird cpu. I don't frequent XDA anymore, but I miss the fun that we used to have right here.
I would've posted in the dedicated off topic thread, but I have the last post in there, didn't want to double post :/

Most definitely. But I don't tinker with it so much, much like my early days on XDA if anyone remembers that whole fiasco.
Its Stock MD4 4.1.2, rooted for adfree sake, and that's it.

Sold my Xperia Mini Pro yesterday, even though it was once #1 on my 2nd-hand item wishlist...
Epic is now an awkward device in my hand particularly because it's such a nice phone for cell calls and texting yet it's not a global phone (and I'm on China Mobile, GSM)... But being the 1st capable Android phone I've acquired, especially given how my bought-and-sold HTC Dream and Moto Milestone performed, Epic is always to stay beside my pillow for bedtime TWRP fun! Sure hope that would be how most E4Gs end their life...
And as of now, to be off-topic, T-Mo's Relay 4G is Epic's proper GSM sequel (current wishlist #1). While on Sprint there's only the Photon Q, and Verizon the age-old Droid 4. Again, so lucky of us to have one of the first (after HTC Dream, of course) 5-row QWERTY Android phone!

Why would you go from A Galaxy S4 to a Nexus 4? Loss of usb otg makes it seem like a downgrade to me.

Nexus has otg but it needs power for it. I have an external battery source so it wouldn't be an issue. I am absolutely bored of my s4. Nothing new is going on with it. Because of the locked bootloader it is an issue. I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my s4. I'm done with branded phones. If my s4 doesn't sell now then ill just buy the n5 whenever it arrives in October.

This was what happened when I went from my Galaxy Nexus to S3, although it was an international version so it didn't have problem with locked boot loader. I think if you have gotten the international version there would be plenty of roms to play with.

There are roms to play with but I just don't feel that I am getting everything out of this phone that I could. I haven't even flashed a rom in weeks. I don't feel like I'm using a quad core because of lag. I played a few games and I lagged. I am just going to wait for the n5 and swap out.

Thinking but picking this up over note 3

Anyone have a vzw note 3 then pick up a g2?what did you think? How's the reception? I'm getting irritated with dropped data ect.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I came from a GS3 when they were running the free after instant rebate promo.
The G2 does have a more reliable signal, possibly a little stronger too.
I dont know if it is a big enough reason to switch...it could depend on your location, etc.
It is a fantastic phone though. I dont have the urge to crack flash either with all the UI customization possible witb stock.

Did they patch loki yet? I'm missing aosp and I meant to say I have a note 3. I have a nexus 7 just seems the note and 7 are too close in size. How's battery life?

If you are willing to trade a Note 3 for an LG G2, contact me.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app

I did the opposite where I had the G2 and dumped it for a Note 3. If I'm being completely honest, I think the Note 3 is a better overall phone with more advantages. But of course it depends how you will use your phone.
I owned the G2 for a month, so I think I had a pretty decent sample size to give my opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I honestly don't think they are even comparable, because of the size and the S Pen.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app

It mostly depends on what you want to do with it. I have the original Note on ATT. I decided on the G2 over the N3 because of all the nonsense Samsung is getting into with not allowing us to flash and customize OUR devices. Since you are on Verizon, the vise is even tighter on you. Seems us GSM guys have it a little easier. Good luck with your decision.

Is this another Note 3 vs G2 comparison thread?
Aren't people getting tired of comparison threads getting locked?

I don't think you are up to date. The Verizon Note 3 has a bootloader exploit, custom recovery and custom roms already. In short, it's good to go.

I wouldn't call safe strap an bootloader exploit as much as a work around. Still no way to allow custom kernels

Really disappointed in the att note 3

I really can't believe I did a early upgrade to the note 3 from a s3 and I can do more with my old s3 the my new note 3 I got just yesterday I'm really upset about the fact that I'm still on stock modded tw which is really sad I'm really starting to dislike the tw ui so when I got my new phone the note 3 I was hopping to try something new their so many custom firmware out their that I would love to see on my phone that I can't try this is such a let down now I'm stuck paying on a phone I really don't want at this point so on that note I think I'm going to keep using my old s3 less of everything but so much more to do with it this is just a sad morning for me....!!!
