seller is ok, already bought a lot of things from them. also from the source site, a lot of people already get their tablet, quality and customer service feedback is positive till now.
bought mine and got it a few dys ago, it works very well so far and doesnt get too hot
using it for productivity it works well, not doing any gaming on it
only thing that is terrible is the battery, but i am sure i can open it up and upgrade that later on
cant complain about anything really for the price
i'm a tad bit apprehensive buying from people that spell capacitive, capacitance.
LOL

What is battery life like and how do you plan on upgrading the battery?

Umm... they got it right.
That's a diction error, at the most. And you should be able to let that slide seeing as capacitive screen technology rely on capacitance theories.

If you don't trust wiki then I can get you some scholarly peer reviewed articles and books for your interest.
:highfive:
EDIT,
I'm definitely interested. Its cheaper than buying a 5.0" tablet phone
If they ship with EMS then im all in
I just received mine and found it to be already rooted with several WiFi accounts logged in. all in all its very nice for the price. I am going to be letting my 4 year old use it so she will leave my Asus Prime and my wife's iPad alone. I am interested to see if there will be any development support for this device it uses a pretty common CPU and form-factor.

I was wondering about development too. It is really what is stopping me from picking up one.
i saw a video on youtube of the location where they develop the actual chip, can't say it instilled a lot of hope.
At worst flash a different rom and do a little cleanup and its good to go.
OK I'm 2 hours in and i have ran into a few issues. First of all the stock software is horrible. they load a bunch of weird stuff on to it before they ship them out. While my daughter was playing Bouncy Mouse it locked up the screen went non responsive and the music continued. I had to hard reset it buy long pressing the power button for 15 seconds. at that point i figured what the hell. ias soon as it came up i reset it back to its factory setting. this seems to have improved it a bit. we will see. I will keep you all posted.
that just makes me more worried, lol
maybe you'll have some luck with a different rom.
Well resetting it helped a ton. You have to more sure you don't try and over work it. I kissed mx player onto it and it plays video flawlessly. Netflix works great. I am very happy with it.

I'm jumping on this one
I figure for 70 bucks it's worth trying. If nothing else it will be good for keeping the kids quiet in the car.
Tablet + MiFi hotspot + Netflix = Mom and Dad don't have to threaten to pull over lol.
Ordering today, I will post how long it takes to arrive and maybe even a little unboxing video

THANKS for this!!! This tablet is AMAZING for the price I'm very impressed!
how's the battery life on these? mainly surfing the web. i see it lists the battery as a 2200ma... they also sell these two at a great price and it's said they have 3300 ma batteries.

i'd really rather get the cheaper one tho if the battery lasts atleast 4 hours surfing web pages.
Screen protector and rubber/silicon case
Planning on getting a couple of these for my kids. That way I won't cry too hard if they do get broken!
Anyway, since they are for kids, does anyone have any idea which screen protectors and silicon/rubber cases may fit these?
Thanks!
I read that in actuality 1.5 hrs is the actual battery time, is that what you guys are getting?
I want to buy this tablet as a movie player for my son for road trips.

When I am streaming a Netflix video the screen jumps/flashes/flickers but only for a millisecond. After a few weeks of enjoying this tablet I finally nailed down what is actually happening. One frame of the video from <minute past, reappears on the screen; just for that millisecond. (I am not using millisecond in its exact technical length.)
Now this may be happening at other times but last evening is when I recognized the frame which I had already seen, reappear within that millisecond; it may be appearing in other venues too but I don't recall such.
Anyone else?
I have the same issue. Very annoying. Combined with the random crashing issue, I'd say that the Nexus needs a few more app/software iterations.
I was having the same issue when I was watching supernatural on it, it scared me for a sec when it did that, as I was watching a scary episode but yeah this only happens with netflix. Because earlier I streamed a cricket match for 8 hours straight on mx video and it was fine.

I watched a lot of Netflix this weekend while traveling (tethered to my phone). Never once did my screen flicker.
I have seen this as well. I wonder if its got something to do with the Netflix app itself because other video apps don't exhibit this phenomenon. Also in stock ROM I never experienced this but I sure am on CM 10.1 M1.

Hey, cool forum :good:
I am trying to decide if a Nexus 10 is suitable for me. I currently have a Nexus 4 and a Acer C7 Chromebook.
I mainly browse the internet on sites like reddit, XDA (obv), checking emails and YouTube.
What attracts me to the Nexus is having the stock Android experience combined with killer specs like the screen resolution, I watch a lot of movies so having a high resolution screen is important because I prefer HD content (Who doesn't, right?). Also, will most content on YouTube play on it?
Is the battery life good? And lastly, is it worth getting a screen protector and case with a keyboard?

I secnod this, even if I'm having issues with Samsung's service. Hopefully you don't get a defective unit. Love the N10, hate Samsung.
Had my N10 for just over a week and do all the activities in your list. I am very pleased with my purchase. I have a lot of tech devices and am rarely surprised but several times as I customize the UI or find another "cool" app I am amazed at the overall speed of the N10 and how visually impressive it looks.
If you try to use it outside of its intended sphere (media consumption) I asume you could gripe at what it does not do well. Mine replaced a netbook used for media consumption and it blew that away. Viewing emails and short replies are fine but I use my desktop PC for any extensive typing. Right now I do not intend to purchase a bluetooth keyboard.
The lack of accessories can be a pain. I had to make my own dock, so I could watch videos hands free in bed, while waiting for a better solution. It looks crappy but does the job.
I got the N10 early December and haven't regretted it for a moment, I use it for all the activities you list, I travel for work and basically live away 3 to 5 days a week. My work Laptop is VERY locked down as I work in a secure business so the Nexus is my laptop replacement while I'm away, I used to lug two laptops at times but no longer. The Nexus does media, games and browsing in style. I also use it to maintain a couple of websites while I'm away and it works well with the simpler stuff. I wouldn't pretend it's perfect but all round an excellent package and I wouldn't want to go back to hauling two laptops round.

I found the MoKo case w/ bluetooth KB on AMazon for $28 to make a great stand and keyboard case. Keyboard's magnetic and removable, too
I have my Nexus 10 for about a week now and I also hesitated for a good while if I should buy it or not. Now that I've been using it for a while I can safely say that it was an awesome purchase.
The screen is brilliant, it's lightning fast, the build quality is top notch (none of the hardware errors that made me so worried in the first place, very solid back etc.) and it does everything I want it to do.
I got a Logitech bluetooth keyboard to go with it (you can find it here) - it says it is for the iPad, but everything works just fine for Android. It's big enough to make typing a breeze and I use it all the time during my classes.
Battery life is very good at about 8-10 hours of heavy usage (brightness adjusted to about ~30%), which lasts me the entire day and I never need to worry about running out before I get through the day.
Make sure you get a nice case for it as well and you're all set. I read so much about reboots and lockups, but during this week I've used the devise intensely and I didn't get a single reboot or lockup. I think Chrome crashed on me once and that certainly is nothing to complain about.
Media playback feels sooo nice - the screen really shines when watching movies and the speakers are also really good.
I was weighing so many options - the Transformer Prime, different Asus und Acer tabs, I even looked at the Surface RT and the Sony Xperia Tablet Z which is gonna be released soon. It was a close call between buying the Nexus 10 now or waiting for the Xperia Z - in the end the small battery on the Xperia Z made the difference for me. I need at least 8 hours usage from my tablet and I wouldn't have gotten that from the Sony device, so I'm very, very happy.
It's the best tablet out right now and I'm saying that after watching hours of Youtube reviews, reading on a lot of sites and finally having the Nexus 10 at home. You can't go wrong with it!
I love mine. It was a Christmas gift from my wife and I've used it everyday since. I use it for what you described. I'm not much of a gamer, but every so often I might play something.
Regrading battery life, mine is more than acceptable. Over the weekend I got over 48 hours before having to charge it (about 5 1/2 hours of screen on time) and yesterday, with heavy usage, I got 7 1/2 hours of screen on time.
One bit of advice, if you can, buy it locally from Walmart or Staples instead of going through the Play Store. Unfortunately, there are some units that suffer from bad light bleed and other issues. Exchanging it at a store will be easier than the RMA process with Google.
Even I'm stuck wid the same problem... One of my czn's got the N10, and he's getting a 100% CPU load wid nothing on it.... No background process, nothing else.... And reading abt the defected ones is so scary, that to me, every second N10 seems to be defected (Okay... that's a bit of exaggeration, but yeah, it feels like that...) Would someone recommend a good place to buy an Un-defected N10???
Hello fellow posters!
I've got some spare money and I was wondering: is it still worth to buy a Nexus 7 now?
I can have it for half the price of new Nexus 7. I would be using it mainly for browsing internet/facebook, watching online streams (flash), using it as a media centre (watching movies from pc via LAN). I know this device is just fine for these things. I had read a lot of stories about tablets breaking down: screens lifting, burnt speakers and things like that. Is it a common issue?
One more thing. Is the screen good for reading ebooks?
Thanks for your advices
I think it's a very good tablet and it will be for a few years at least. Maybe you should check THIS thread. My one is working fine without a single issue. I haven't met any game or app that could slow it down. I read a lot of ebook and comic on it and the screen is more than enough for it. I really love my N7, it's a pleasure to use.
Its a great device! I've felt no need to upgrade. I never upgrade anything until its at least 2 generations higher. I'm buying an N4 soon....same situation as you. Do I wait a slight bit and get the N5.....nope. N4's way cheaper and still great too! Will be a good upgrade from my S2.
Just my 2 cents.

using the n7 for reading is great.. beats my dedicated Sony ereader except for battery life. the higher resolution might be better for Movies but for all the other uses mentioned the N7 and N7(2013) are pretty much on par.
I haven't had any of the issues you mentioned, and it seems that the 'bad ones' have worked their way out of the system.
at the price you mentioned.. it will be a great purchase.... I still use my Motorola Xoom for some things... and don't regret buying either.
So I ordered one of these beasts of a tablet and will update this post when I get it in in an effort to help and educate.
As you guys know, the Pro model is sporting a 13.3" 2560x1440 IPS display, 8 watt Jbl speakers and sub along with a built in projector all powered by a 9600mAh battery. These features have to be taxing. I figured if we have more input then we can grab an expected average.
Also I highly encourage you guys and gals to create more Yoga threads. Maybe we can snag our own sub forum and really grab some attention. I have been researching the Pro tremendously this week and found myself scouring rather than finding. It is a shame to let something to let something like this that has a high potential just let slip through the cracks.
Got mine for about 3 days. Battery performance seems to be average. I get about 5-6 hrs of screen on time when I'm not using the beamer, mainly using netflix or other video streaming services. I'm really looking forward to the lollipop update to see if it brings improvements. The screen is just amazing for movies. It's a lot of fun.

Has there been mention of a Lollipop update coming to the Tablet 2 Pro? Mine just arrived yesterday, and while the benefits WAY outweigh the cons, the performance is a tad laggy, and I'm guessing Lollipop would ameliorate most of that.
Plex is also super choppy (to the point of not being able to watch anything). XBMC plays everything fine on the local network, but it sucks to know that I can't watch stuff while away from home, since Plex isn't working properly on this tablet. I had the same problem with the Nexus 10, which is why I got rid of it for a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. I thought the Tablet 2 Pro would be a proper step up, but Plex is the MAIN app I use on tablets, so with Plex not working, it's becoming a dealbreaker.
@fridaynext there hasn't been any word on 5.0. Looking at the Lenovo forum, it seems being late ant not fixing new bugs is their thing. Mines coming tomorrow but I might send it back and look elsewhere. The Shield would be good but battery life sucks and N9 has shady build quality. Looks like Xperia might be the way to go..maybe
What kind of standby time are guys getting?

My Yoga Tablet 2 Pro was updated to 5.0.1 this morning. I had it rooted (for 1440p YouTube and fullscreen in TeamViewer), and although it now says 5.0.1, it still has the KitKat animation when I tap multiple times on the version.
Anyway, I'm now going to delete the YouTube app, and see if I can reinstall from the Play Store and get 1440p as a playback option.
Edit: My bad - I believe it just says 5.0.1 because I changed build.prop. Not sure what the update was, that was applied today.
hello all I just got mine today and loving it a lot , can anyone please send me the link to root this bad boy and as well where can I get the update to lollipop ? as well I have a question , how long dose it take to charge? is it better not to use the tablet while its charging? do it take longer time then? I think its taking ages ,and I am about to go back to the store to change it to another one? please help ,thank you
