The screen is fairly good on the trasnformer pad TF300. It's great for me but others might not be as impressed for some reason. If you want a good screen, you could look at either the transformer prime or the transformer infinity. The tablet does have some I/O problems which causes some issues.

The tablet's good, don't get me wrong, but it does have it's problems. There are workarounds and performance may be much better on a custom ROM but i don't know (I'm unrooted and on stock). The dock is useful and a nice addition.

I' ve bought 4 months ago the tf300t and rooted only!..phoned to ASUS 4 times 'cause it was laggy since updated to JB and finally exchanged ( plus cash ) with NoteN8000 preowned by a friend: another world, for me!
TF300T is a great piece of cake: Tegra3 is very good for gaming, fast ram, 32gb of storage but not optimized at all! I/O problems make it so laggy, as my opinion!
Note is really faster, screen better under the sun, good multitasking with 2gb of ram, 1 minute to root and CWM flash with "not void" warranty and the spen is perfect if u use your tab as a writing or drawing tool as me! "Only" problem the build quality !
Good evening and sorry for my english

Anybody have a Nexus 7 w/ a 4.8" screen phone?

So I just sold my Acer a500 with hopes of getting 32gb nexus 7. But my gf raised a point of, is it worth it since your phone is already almost 5 in. So does anyone else have a large screen phone an still enjoy an think their nexus 7 is worth it? My dad offered me his transformer prime for $300 so now I'm thinking about that since its way improves over my a500.
I really just use my tablet for web browsing an viewing power points an documents for college. So, do you guys think its worth it if you have a large sized screen phone?

I thought exactly the same as you having a HTC One X.. But the difference between the two is like chalk and cheese.
Go for it :thumbup:

Yeah I have a sgs3. I held the 7 last night an the screen looked very nice an fit well in the hand. Just worried about downgrading to 7 from 10 in. But for what I used my Acer for, the 7 seems like it will be fine. Just like I said in my post about it being not "too" far off from my sgs3 4.8" screen.

For me personally the N7 is too small for web browsing, I don't like to zoom in and out all the time. I think that 8-9' is the perfect size, but I don't see Google making it anytime soon, so I'm going to buy the N10 as soon as its available.

There was no WiFi at Walmart where I had it so I couldn't try web browsing. So I can't really comment on zooming in an out. On my 10" Acer I still had to zoom in an out browsing the web. Though it depended what orientation I had it in. Landscape I could read as is, but portrait I had to zoom in a lot.

Audio problem with new Nexus 7

Purchased new Nexus 7 32gb with mobile data, frankly I considered it the best tablet I own (I own 5 including an iPad 2 and a 16gb Nexus 7). Suddenly today while listening to some music the audio became super static-ey , like a busted stereo speaker. My replacement is on the way but I wondered if any else has had this experience.

So maybe we just got defective units, because my first N7 was a 16gb and its still working great. I just upgraded for more storage and mobile data which made it almost perfect. They will probably break down and give it an SD card slot and a rear camera and it will reign supreme in the tablet world.

My speaker started sounding like crap fairly randomly....rattling like broken.
Actually I believe the speakers are just coming loose in the housing.
I have seen this happen with phones before.
Not a big deal though...replaced with new with no issues.

Yeah! Got replacement Nexus 7 32gb in hand, hope it is as sound as my original 16gb. I think this is my favorite tablet, OK, I love this device, OK ... I said it. I wonder how many others got slightly defective units, and if they got a solid replacement. I don't care if I have to send for 5 of these until I get one that's right.

I have a question. I recently rooted and installed that beats drivers thing on the market. It sounds..average (using headphones BTW) the.. I decided to uninstall , the audio just sounded so off. Then, after removing the file in system, the audio sounds HORRIBLE. Base is distorted as hell! Someone help! I tried to use equalizer but it says something wrong with my framework!!!

Sold mine for this. Not going back. The hardware on the galaxy nexus won't live to see another year I'm afraid.

i use both my n4 and gnex, but keep the sim in the n4.

I loved my GNex but my N4 is leaps and bounds better. I can't think of any reason I'd go back.

Why?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

As fan of nexus series can't see any point to return on Gnex (I had it before n4). Just my opinion.

No.

No real reason why just asking.

Have both. But N4 is my major, I barely touch my Gnex or Nexus S now
No ways that I am going back

not even in my wildest dreams...hell no

My GNexus died. It was great device, i mean it provided great user experience in spite of really average specs (like very poor GPU). I think optimization in case of ti-omap was relatively more advanced than it is in case of snaprdagon s4 pro maybe due to ti's more open policy. Gnex cannot measure up hardwarewise to N4. It can hardly handle more demanding live wallpapers without lag. Its screen is the biggest flaw -grainy, horrible horizontal banding. But still touch responsiveness and scrolling experience is very smooth. To be honest I preferred stock browser experience on my gnex than the one provided with n4 and chrome. Just pinch to zoom and scroll. Literally, heaven and earth difference. But that's the end of gnex's advantages over n4 I noticed so far. I completely disagree with those criticising our lcd-ips screen. It's awesome! I really don't feel the need for 1080p screen. And... 2 GB of ram + 1,5 GHz x4 krait. Why would I downgrade to Gnex? N4 is all I need

Owning new nexus 7 and galaxy s4

I use the n7 mainly for browsing the net and some minor games. The n7 is only two inches bigger, but it feels and look much bigger than that. I also have the ipad3, but it's getting a bit uncomfortable and heavy for my taste, so this 7" tablet is just the right size for me.

The "2 inch bigger" tablet have over 2X the screen size of the GS4 (N7 22.08 inch^2 vs GS4 10.68 in^2) , It provide substantially better content consumption(Video playback/Ebook +Comic Reading) experience and web broswing. I can even comfortably read/edit Word/Excel with Kingsoft Office on it.
Not to mention the Super Bright LCD screen (538nits, GS4's AMOLED can't dream to match) & Stereo speakers.

I have the s4 rooted and an considering getting the n7 as well. Quick question. I haven't found the answer yet but is the memory expandable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4

I have a S4 and bought an Nexus 7 mainly because i want to read PDF and Word documents. S4's screen is to small to do this. But with 7 inch and FHD it is good enough to read letter/DIN A4 docs.Screen resolution does matter to me, so an Galaxy Note 8 or 10 was no real alternative. But I would have taken a Nexus 8 as well

I have both, definitely worth it for Web Surfing and video.

NO,
just buy the 32 gig and you wont get any problems with the storage,, only extra 40 pounds for 16gb...

Please do not compare Galaxy S4 with nexus 7!! doesnt make any sense dude,,, i own both devices, think about, S4 is your mobile phone, so you are using for making calls, text, and web browsing! usually dont even last all day, need to get charge, where nexus 7 coming in and you using it for watching cheeky videos and playing games!

Thank you guys. Now I know what to do
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

I've got both too. At first I thought why do I need it S4 does most things well. But at this price I couldn't complain. Been using it since yesterday and barely touched my phone. The bigger screen is better for browsing and such. Playing games is better to with a bigger screen. Watching videos too. So far I like it.

One is a phone the other is a tablet. Two totally different devices.

I can go two days without charging my evo 3d now I have my tablet.

I own both as well, both currently running SlimBean ROM, which is very nice having the interface be the same across platforms, as well as being rid of the hot mess that I'd touch wiz. Well with it in my opinion to have both, even if both running stock ROM.

I have both. For me the N7 is an at-home device, whereas the S4 is an on-the-go (outside the house) device.
