May sound weird, but it's like far cry 2 merged together with far cry 1.

Everything fits really good together.

There is hunting and collecting stuff, which is needed to craft better equipment. there are plenty of different skills and special moves to unlock. You can climb view points like in assassins creed and that's the way to unlock new weapons too. The whole map is really big and just amazing(island scenario again :D) the story is pretty good so far, in the cut scenes it seems like a movie. The players character is not a super hero, and he's talking and cursing all the time..

After a long time, finally again a really great fps

Duders, do you find the Nexus 7 heavy? I recently found out that it weighs 347 gramms (in case of 3G version) which is about 70 gramms less than the Flyer (sometimes it feels like a brick to me) and twice as lighter as the first gen iPad
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nope, not even a little bit. It's great to hold. The iPad 2 is heavy, I recently realized this when I started reading books on it (nothing compares to iBooks on the N7).
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
iBooks on N7?

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Kindle application? I'm guessing. Both my wife and mother have one and I share their account which ultimately gives me access to their books not that we gave the same taste in books.

If you think that 347 g is heavy, you'll have to start doing push ups :D
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
I haven't said that it IS heavy, I asked if it feels like that. Flyer surely does sometimes.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Definitely doesn't feel heavy. The natural grip of the back cover makes it so easy to hold and it is lighter than most actual books that I read as well. Plus most books are difficult to hold one-handed with any degree of comfort or without snapping the book-spine.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I meant no eBook app on the Nexus 7 can compare to iBooks on the iPad :p
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I'm a 2 year owner of a Kindle, and also have an iPad. When it comes to reading experience, nothing compares to the kindle. Specially the one I have, kindle 3 with keyboard. No actually because of the keyboard, but due to the symmetric page turn buttons on both sides.

I keep the kindle app on the iPad synced to the kindle, so I can seamlessly continue reading no matter the device, but for longer periods, I get off my ass and go dig up the kindle.

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Just yesterday found out that my Flyer can't properly play 720p videos. Sometimes when I try to watch one through ES Media Player or through the Gallery - the picture freezes and I can't cancel the playback by any means, even through the process list, so I either have to wait until the video ends, or reboot the device. MX Player handles them a bit better, but the framerate is crap and the audio outsyncs the picture, which is why the audio mutes for 1-3 seconds until the video syncs up to the moment where the audio cut itself out

Do you guys know any good task managers that show all the processes running? I'm sure that there is a possibility to stop the playback manually
[HTC Desire S] :
Ok guys, leaving home now, because I'm going to the Swedish House Mafia! :D
[HTC Desire S] :
ES task manager ;)
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Nope, doesn't see the process of video playing
[HTC Desire S] Jann F:
adb -> top -> kill process manually ;)
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Wish I knew what process it is
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Try advanced task killer. In settings, set strictness to low to show more processes. I used it all the time before I realized that task killers were pointless :p
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Well, on Android 3.2 task killer is certainly needed, good to know that I'll get rid of these problems forever after getting a N7
[HTC Desire S] spavian:
on the newer android 4.0.3 and after , you don't need task killer , just set from the settings the number of backround proceses
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
I know, but Flyer didn't move further than 3.2 (officially, that is), so..
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I spoke a while back of my interest in the Toshiba AT300 tablet, with a quadcore tegra CPU, ICS, 10" at a decent price. However it has no dev support at all, no JB confirmed for it, so what do you guys think?

My other interest is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" 3G which is selling for an outstanding price in the UK for £188. Official JB is already out for it, and I quite like Samsung now ;) However, the hardware seems pretty dated, it only has a OMAP Texas 1Ghz dual core CPU, with 1 GB RAM. used one instore a few weeks ago, and it felt pretty laggy on ICS. however i saw JB running on it on youtube, and it seems to have made a huge difference in smoothness. Dev support is decent too, with official CM10 nightlies etc. also, it can be used as a phone :) But i would primarily be using it for 3G with my other data enabled SIM card. (Can't do this if I get any other tablet at the same price point)

i decided against a N7 now, because as great as the hardware/support is, I want a 10" screen. it feels much more suited as a tablet. My main reason for upgrading from my current 7" is for alrger screen, going for a Nexus would solve only my issues with performance.

anyone got any thoughts on this? i don't intend to get it till after 15th January (after my exams :D) or maybe as a Chirstmas present (however it's very unlikely :p), do you think it will still be good then?

Haven't really been following X Factor, but its funny to see how the contestants are sponsored by samsung and each one of them has to use this tablet (or a note 10.1, can't tell) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a14yFy1Wt7U

This is the reason why Samsung IS the leading android king, hardly see any adverts for HTC etc.

cheers!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
The iPad is the best among 10 inchers, but if you've decided that you want an Android (you already have an iPad if I;m not wrong :p) then the Nexus 10 is definitely the best. It has an amazing screen and a good price too. Just like the Nexus 7, it will get VERY popular soon (everyone has a N7 :p ). This means more dev support, and not just for ROMs, but Apps as well.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, thanks for the super fast reply :)

Correct, yes we do have an iPad in the house, however, it's not mine, it's more of a family tablet. The Galaxy Tab is my own tablet :)

Definitely, if price wasn't a factor, I would go for the Nexus 10, or iPad 4!!! But I'm on a strict budget, looking for a 10" tablet ~£200. The N10 is £400, I could get an iPad at that price!

So the Tab 2 10.1" looks like my best option?!

cheers!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, for that price, not much possibility to get everything, a quad core, 10 inch tab with proper software support. You have to sacrifice one, speed, size or updates. Basically, you just need to choose which ;)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Or @Oly simply get everyone to give you cash for Christmas to make up the short fall?

Also, I must apologize....but, I'm feeling slightly dirty as I've just placed the household Christmas present order:

iPad with Retina display Wi-Fi 16GB - Black
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, you're right there, I guess :p

If you were in my place, what would you pick?

Great idea actually, never really considered it :p

Doubt my parents would approve on splashing out more than £300 on 'useless rubbish that will be outdated in a year' anyway! :p

Wow, you've gone on a tech-spend spree haven't you? :p

Anyway, you'll sure enjoy the iPad and Nexus 4 combination, a huge step up from the Desire S!

What does your trusty DS serve for now? :D
[HTC Desire S] c.m.b:
You would already know what to wish for next year :D
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
iPad 5?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Not been really checking up on the DS development lately, but I feel tempted to try out Sense again, after being on Andromadus for quite some time.

Saw some skins posted which only work with full Sense 4.1, which look absolutely amazing (concrete skin).

We have a few Sense 4.1 ROMs available now, but I'm slightly confused to which is the best to use?

Sense 4.1 lite, or full Sense 4.1? Prefably would like a ROM with the least bugs available, and somewhere to try the new skins :D

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Most of the skins are for full sense 4, venom is the only one I've really tried aside from fallout. Venom stayed on my phone for over a week, has a few niggles but overall a good Rom

If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
If you like A LOT of customization within the ROM - I'd go with ViperSAGA, is has enourmous amount of available tweaks (looks like a combination of LeeDroid + Fallout) and it's REALLY fast despite the fact that it's Sense 4.1 Full.

If you like the ROM to be as lite as possible - you should pick the Desire XS. People report about pretty awesome perfomance and speed, and it mimics the stock original ROM from Desire X.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
My wife and I always tend to buy one household Christmas present each year rather than buying each other real presents, ie Fridge Freeze, new laptop, AV surround amplifier and this year a tablet (iPad). (although looking at the list you're right mostly tech....modern times I suppose!) Next year is a new TV or a new patio (we're still arguing over that one!) ! :D

Only really just moved over to the N4 after a few days of nightmare PC USB issues that made me doubt I had a truly functioning N4, fortunately that's all behind me now, the N4 will take some getting used to, as I was explaining to Lowveld earlier "funny how the DS still feels more right in my hands.....just a period of adjustment I imagine, all those muscle memories in my fingers to retrain."

In answer to your question my DS is a spare at the moment, the wife's DS has a faulty power button, so she'll be using mine while hers goes back under warranty.

Got the swiftkey flow beta! Haven't had a chance to make full use of it but I'm looking forward to it. Didn't think I'd ever be this excited about a keyboard :p
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's pretty nice, but the stock 4.2 keyboard is the best "swype" type keyboard dou it me. Swifytkey is just ugly IMO, no theme is good. Also, the trail is usually invisible. It needs a little polishing before actual release . Of course, it's prediction is the best :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Have to agree the 4.2 swipe features are great, To be honest I was completely sold by the quality of the swipe animation itself. Being a long term swype user, it's taken some time to make the move happily, but its very good, the only area where it need improvement is word replacement, although now its stock I can see these things progressing and improving.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I think it works great. Although I miss the best part of SwiftKey. The gestures. I loved being able to swipe back to delete and obviously it's impractical on flow.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Never been a fan of swiping,

I SwiftKey flow is not any better. Some of you might know some really funny posts that I had ended up swyping. :)

What I like is that, it's fast and we get the same SwiftKey features.

Dan, we have long press backspace to delete a word.

Guys, my parents will buy a new TV soon (samsung smart tv) because we still have one of these fat guys and he's starting to refuse its duty.

Now there is an action where we get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with it, and i have the choice to sell the two weeks old N7 or the Gtab. (unfortunately the money will go to the parents then ;p)

Personally i dont really like Samsung (read TouchWiz), but since i would throw AOSP on it as soon as i'd get it i wouldn't mind.

i'd be happy to hear your opinions :) Which tablet to sell? ;p
