Hi Guys,
I am currently looking to buy new tablet and eying on Nexus 7 or Nexus 10. [ I am using Nexus 4 as a mobile phone ] ( I want t pure android)
I dont usually/ like to watch full movie or video on the tab or play an intensive games.
I usually do the following on a tablet
- browsing web/ facebook
- checking/ replying emails
- chatting (skype, whatsapps, wechat, magicjack)
- google apps (maps, earth, hangout, keeps, current, etc)
- youtube and music
- light games (candy crush, logo quiz, temple run)
1.) I am looking a tablet that is portable, since I am always at the office (which I have a 15" laptop) and bring my tab (sometimes I use for a meetings, take note, email, reference) with me and malls/ shops on weekends with wife (waiting for her while she shop )
2.) I want a tablet that can do wifi hotspot , as I am sharing my data plan to my mobile phone and to my wife's ipad (with good battery life, at least can turn on the wifi hotspot at least 10 hours)
3.) I want to be able to set / lock the mobile data to WCDMA / HSDPA. I have ASUS Transformer TF300TG before and its fluctuating from hsdpa to edge from time to time, so I cannot get a good speed on my data plan.
I attached a snapshot for the #2 and #3 reference.
Thank you
Because Nexus 10 does not have 3G version so Nexus 7 with 3G/Wifi is what you need. Or you might wait for next generation of Nexus 7.

Definitely nexus 7. Wait a month for the next generation.

3) is definitely a software thing if you choose to use custom ROMs. As for the rest, owning both, there's really nothing according to your priorities that the Nexus 10 beats the Nexus 7 in, so I'd definitely jump on the Nexus 7 (you can either wait for the new version, or, since the current Nexus 7 is quite a good device as-is, wait for its launch to crash the price for current-gen Nexus 7s and buy then).
Oh come on guys.. N7's next gen is a huge rumour..... its too good to be true.
to the topic, N7 is better than N10 because of a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it suits your needs. Well I don't personally like heating up a tablet to provide wifi service, the hotspot thing, for 10 hrs. In my place, I've got a portable wifi router, it's called PTCL eVo Wingle here. Got awesome speed of 9.1 mbps and has a battery life of 10 hrs. Try finding a similiar thing for yourself.
Secondly, Nexus 10 has been known to have a huge display, hence there have been app problems. Certain apps can't display properly, so N7 is favorite among us. But then if you wanna be a bit deviant, N10 suits you. You've got very minimal needs so N7 should you very well. It's portable, and you can attach abluetooth keyboard if you don't prefer the onscreen keyboard (who does..???? )
So good luck..!

Well the things that Google is throwing around this time are too good to be true. Like a 5MP camera, HD display, and many more, and that in lesser price than the old Nexus 7. Either believe the price, specs or none...

Minus tethering and mobile data, you had the same requirements I had when choosing the Nexus 7. I came from the Iconia A500, a 10 inch tablet, and I can say I don't miss the screen size at all. Much easier to type out IM/Facebook messages! 10 inches is good only if you heavily watch movies/youtube, or would rather not downgrade. That said, the Nexus 10 is more powerful. I recently bought the current Nexus 7 and find it to be totally fast (minus Chrome sometimes but that should improve with data compression) and have a brilliant screen but if you want the bleeding edge Nexus experience you can always wait for the newer Nexus 7 that is supposedly coming.

You won't need the Nexus 10's screen size if you don't watch movies on it, and apart from that they basically do the same thing (except the Nexus 7 is more portable).
10" was too large for portability for me. The 7" did the trick for me for the reasons you stated (mostly portability), and of course you can tether no problem. However, as it was stated, you might want to wait for the next iteration of the n7 simply cuz right now the one that's out now is kinda of "old"...has 32gb, but...
As a very recent nexus owner (awesome deal on a refurb.), I gotta say the "7" has MORE than lived up to what I was hoping for. I use it more primarily for e-books and surfing/light gaming when near a hotspot or at home. It has excellent gps, so navigation is "on" as well.
The "10" would be too big for what I like to do with the device. (no knock on the 10, just too large for my use.)
More good info is coming out about the new "7" via multiple sources, with an expected ship date in July. Price will be around 225$, but for what you're doing getting a gen 1 device wouldn't be bad idea either, especially as the gen 1 will most likely get discounted fairly heavily.
Either way, can't go wrong.
Love my nexus7.
Thanks, Guys for responding to my post.
By achieving #3 of my first post- do i need to install custom rom? Stock android cannot do this ? I want to be able to get update from google as soon as they release newer version, so i think if i install custom rom will defeat this ? As said on my previous post, i need the option to set to wcdma only, data plan on my place fluctuate from gsm to wcdma alot if set to auto.
I also don't want to carry another device such as portable hotspot ,that's why i am looking/asking if nexus 7 can do this. In fact, i have note 10.1 which can do the above, but i am looking into replacing this to smaller one as i am having hard time replying to email, typing, carrying around.
I will definitely wait for the new nexus 7.

You might be able to find an app on stock that would work. Perhaps FoxFi? Mine is WiFi only so I can't test that.
Mine is just a joy. Definitely hits the size sweet spot. I think 10" is just too big even with the fabulous screen. The N7 feels really good in the hand too with the faux leather back. I had an iPad for a while and it just wasn't comfortable to hold for any length of time. The screen on the N7 is great too. My only real quibble, and it goes for almost all tabs save your 10.1, is the mono rear facing speaker. Sure, it's loud enough, but if HTC can do it on cellphones, why can't front facing stereo speakers be done on tablets.....especially since telephony earpieces are not getting in the way?
The price also makes it unbeatable. I got my 32GB 3G unit for around $250 when converted from the local currency. The iPad mini is nearly double that when similarly spec'd. It really makes the purchase a no brainer. You won't be disappointed with the N7.
Do you guys think its worth to sell / replace my Galaxy Note 10.1 for Nexus 7?
I dont watch full movies on tab and i usually bring with me my tab wherever I go.
Hopefully new Nexus 7 comes our very soon.

I'm running n4 and n7 at home and love the feel of a smaller tablet. I recommend it. There's also the hisense sero pro for 150.00 that looks decent but I'm sticking with the combo papow! If you hold it close enough to your face it's a big screen...

Im running galaxy s3 with galaxy tab 2 10.1. Having come from a n7 myself, I would definatly not recommened it. I had the screen separation issue with the new 32gb model they released where the screen starts raising above the body of the device. Tried to send it back to asus and got the worst custimer service ever, and they tried putting the blame on me as if I had broken it myself, even though the tablet was in a case the whole time I had it.. dont get one, the nexus 10 is a much better choice

I have a stock 5x (first phone I haven't bothered rooting) but like most android phones it's unreliable with DJI GO app, I find it runs a bit better if I reset the phone before use so that leads me to believe it might be time to invest in a new, more performance-based ROM.
Has anyone had any experience with the various ROM's available which perform well or not with the 5x?
The only thing I care about besides DJI Go performance is camera performance so if there's a ROM that checks both those boxes then that's swell!
Thanks guys
I'm using both a nexus 5x and samsung galaxy tab s2 with my phantom 3 (and the old dji go app) Both android devices handled dji go poorly. After flashing lineageos to both devices they both work flawlessly.
Lineageos on nexus 5x. Camera performance is the same as stock. Battery life is better and the ui looks better (you can customise it a bit). Phantom connects without any issue. Just plug it in, open dji go (or litchi) and it is connected. I didn't change any settings from default.
I tried DJI GO on my Nexus 5x ( both PixelROM & Stock android ) flying a Mavic pro without any problem !
I [emoji3590] Samsung but Alexa is so much more advanced in the home from Eero WiFi, Ring doorbell, all the Echoes that Amazon builds & ect compared 2 a couple of devices from Google smart speakers & their Home Hub & I don't think Samsung came out W/ their Galaxy Home yet which doesn't look that great anyways...basically I'm asking if it's a good idea 2 go W/ Alexa over Google Voice or Bigsby which is horrible 2 begin W/ & could it be as good as I'm thinking W/ it being a different ecosystem?
