Nexus 7 device itself is solid (albeit ugly... I can't ignore that bezel).

But it is using Phone UI... it is being treated as blown-up Galaxy Note (but without the ability to make phone calls & stylus).

What makes matter worse...

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/google-andy-rubin-nexus-7-may-head-to-retail/

"Google won't be changing its attitude towards tablet-native apps anytime soon. Rubin sees Google Play content additions as key to driving Android tablet adoption, not the encouragement of tablet-specific app development -- he'd prefer the one-size-fits-all model. We'll see whether magazines and movie sales are enough to turn around so-so market share, but if you were hoping Rubin would address criticisms that Android tablet apps are just blown-up phone apps, you'll have to keep waiting."

How does this actually help Android tablet market at all?? The system bar (home, back and etc) is a complete eyesore.....
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
I wish I was looking at it live. i will soon enough though.

that was based on watching videos in high def. seen other videos also and the colors look very vibrant. Display looks crisp, IMO. it is an IPS panel and looks to be a high quality one. you can watch the videos with your ipad3 super high Res screen and watch the videos in 1080P..lol. it will give you at least a good idea of how well the display looks. from what I'm seeing, it looks good. it would've been perfect if it had super ips+ also for that extra brightness for outdoor viewing and making the screen details pop out even more.

the nexus 7 has been all over the news in my area. I think Google has a winner here. I'm very disappointed in no SD card slot but ill live. I used Ipad over 2 years with no slots so its not something new to me. ill transfer any needed data wirelessly or download straight from the web itself. I'm thinking since it has a mini USB port or is it micro one? either way there will likely be an adapter if you must have SD or micro SD card access. I would definitely have to get the 16gb.

I've seen uglier devices from Acer and especially Toshiba(thrive..lol). you are right in that the system bar looks out of place or something. I'm not worried about the UI. its rocking the most vanilla android experience. you could easily load another launcher on it or use one of the numerous roms that will drop for this. that will bring the official tablet interface. even better just run THST new project chameleon UI due to drop in Aug. blown up apps not as bad on a 7in. screen vs. a 10in. its a tablet so you can still download/install tablet only apps and it will be fine. most of my apps on prime are tablet only. the ones that I do have THST are non optimized tablet apps still look fine enough. Developers here will easily remedy the phone looking UI. or like I said before, just install a different launcher. like Go Launcher HD or something. its all a matter of preference. For me, I love Asus stock launcher on prime. Alot of others use Go launcher or nova launcher, etc.. its a personal choice of what you want the UI to look like.

I like it actually. Likely will order more than one. One for me, my woman, and my father. I might leave my woman out since she has my Ipad now..lol. I know my father would love a device like this and this would be his first Android tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
They've posted pictures (Post 26 on) over in the 7 forum that 10" Jellybean retains the normal UI on the SDK. Since the device is a Nexus and will be easily unlocked I don't expect it to take long at all for them to tweak if you don't like the look
[Nexus 7 General] shinzz:
I already have the SDK. And yes.. it does...

I'm just disappointed that Google has chosen Phone UI as the default UI in Google Nexus.

I'm disappointed that Google & Andy Rubin are continuing to ignore TABLET SPECIFIC app ecosystem. But yea... I cannot consider Nexus 7 as a "tablet"... just blown up smartphone.
[Nexus 7 General] synaesthetic:
The fact that it uses the phone UI kind of completely defeats the purpose of this device. I may consider one when a custom ROM enables tablet mode.
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
Yup. If the Nexus 7 was made by literally any other company, I'd have it on preorder already. I'm not getting involved with this one though. Asus has proven they are a garbage company. It's a shame, as I've owned every Nexus phone and would otherwise like a Nexus tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] flub:
its up on google play to pre order

was just gonna pre order one but thought no, yet again us in the uk getting screwed again

$199 for 8GB US....£159 for 8GB UK

just checked online and

159.00 GBP converts to 247.708 USD

Thats nearly 25% more expensive for us in UK
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
Someone over at Androidcentral claims it supports USB host mode. The lack of an sd slot seems trivial if thats the case.
[Nexus 7 General] flub:
16 GB is £199

GBP £199 converts to 310.172 USD

Bloody rip off
[Nexus 7 General] Underwater Mike:
As I posted in the Infinity thread (sorry), I would've preordered one of these and toughed it out until the full Win 8 tabs are out next year. But no expansion slot? I just don't get it.

Not everyone has or wants a persistent network connection. 16GB isn't enough space to store a fart, and I don't want some goofy dongle hanging off the thing. I know it's supposed to be entry-level, but what would a microSD slot have added in engineering and manufacturing costs? $10, total?

What a shame... :(
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>what would a microSD slot have added in engineering and manufacturing costs? $10, total?

As others have indicated, the more plausible explanation is Google's focus on cloud content and storage. Kindle Fire also lacks same, likely for the same reason. If cost saving were paramount, NFC wouldn't have made the cut.

Likewise, no HDMI-out, as with KFire. This may be a content licensing issue as content would cost more if it can be piped to a big screen. N7 does have physical volume rocker switches, unlike KFire.

N7 is basically a more powerful KFire w/ higher-res display, latest Android, and official Google support. It should sell well, but Xmas is still a few months off. We'll see what Amazon can bring.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Check out around the 9:00 mark of the keynote, pretty sure it at least can still use MHL adapter for video out
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
What is it with you people and your direct currency conversions? It simply doesn't work that way. Its EXACTLY the same price. EXACTLY!

Its like saying the conversion costs 5 million afghan dollars then crying its a rip off.
[Nexus 7 General] flumpster:
It's not really exactly the same money.

The US 16GB version is 249 dollars. Lets say sales tax is a max of 8 percent (which every other poster seems to forget about because our VAT is already added on), that takes the cost up to 270 dollars. I think what he's trying to say is that 199 Pounds here translates to 310 dollars. So if we bought it over there and brought it back we would still save 40 dollars.

I did contemplate this as my cousin is going to the US in a few weeks but for 40 Dollars (25 Pounds) it's not worth the agro if anything goes wrong with it.

Anyway, ordered one for the missus tonight and looking forward to it ;)
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>pretty sure it at least can still use MHL adapter for video out

It's academic when most HDTVs don't support MHL. Even assuming adapters exist to go micro-USB -> MHL -> HDMI, it's a major hassle, and DRM content will probably fail anyway.

The simpler solution if you need HDMI-out is simply to buy a tablet that has it. The N7 doesn't.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Fair enough, but my point is if you need video out, from the keynote itself, it looks as if MHL is supported for those that want to use it. And yes, the adapter does exist, I even posted a pic for you of mine, and they are found easily like on Amazon. Its the same thing with my Galaxy Nexus, uses MHL and displays fine on my HDTV with Netflix and other apps I use.
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
It boils down to purchase power. A direct conversion is apples and oranges. The product is priced to have the same impact on your wallet as mine. No conversion needed. You pay the same as I do.

change the touch sound? without rooting?

I'd like to change the touch sound without rooting it. Any ideas? Nexus 7 32 original.

Can only change notification, and very tired of the clicking sound now... Other than that I love the thing. If I have to root it, I may just go get a note 8 or the new tab 10 and then root it without worry of destroying it. But I'd love to change the click to perhaps a short tap or beep. Something else...

I'm sure you don't keep up on this thread anymore, but you did start it, and it is a question worth answering I think LOL

I appreciate any advice

only for sound on/off

Thank you for your response I really do appreciate it. But I'm looking to change the sound effect my keyboard pressing makes, not just simply control whether the keyboard makes a sound at all. I want to change it to something I choose, not the clicking I mentioned previously in my first post.

Again any help is appreciated!!

I'm looking to change the sound the keyboard makes, not simply turn it on or off...

Thanks for the response though and I appreciate the feedback very much

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

So I found the files with the extension .ogg and located the folder they are in. But don't understand how my keyboard app uses the files. I can't simply copy paste a file and rename it with a .ogg although that did make the icon change to match the other sounds like clicks and pecks in this folder. I also learned that there are many kinds of clicks my tablet uses currently, and that was interesting. I could change them all if I knew how to replace the current settings for these certain files, and how they are used by my current keyboard. I'm wondering if googleplay has an app that allows the user to change which files it utilizes for sound effects...

Thank for feedback!!!
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
You could probably convert your other sounds to ogg files. And then replace the existing files with the converted ones.

hello i am a noob.

i have rooted my phone using ClockworkMod Recovery method.

i just did the steps without knowing what i was doing but it worked.

But i would like to know how to flash the Open Kang Project for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113/3110 or any faster rom than the one you get with factory

thank you very much! :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] mister102:
If you want to flash a custom rom you`ll have to put your rom zip on your sd card. You plug your tab into your computer. Then you`ll need to open E:. Copy and paste your zip there. Then you have to boot into recovery. Turn you tab of. When its off you hold down your volume up key and your power key. Then your phone will boot into recovery mode. From there you can choose the option. Install zip from sd card. Then select your zip. and wait till its done downloading. Its recommend to factory reset your phone before you install your zip. Its also recommend to make a backup with the app: Titanium backup. Im not sure if everything is correct because i dont use my tab alot.

Hi,

Not sure if developers even look at threads in this section, but what a hell... :)

So, what are the chances that one of our great developers could port Samsung's exFAT driver from SGS III to SG Note?

I'm using 64GB Sandisk microSDXC card on my Note and I admit that I'm jealous that SGS III users can write 4GB+ files on those cards...

Supercurio, designgears, Da_G, DAGr8... If you see this thread, are Note users out of luck...? :-(

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] seff5677:
ah man, that would be so awesome! I hate having to split my HD movie files for my sd card on the note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eun-Hjzjined:
Why do we need exfat? Ntfs is now fully supported, go check news section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
I'd much rather see NTFS and ext3 support than exFAT. We need to use good filesystems that are already common, not new ones that Microsoft comes up with because they don't like cooperating with existing standards. I haven't heard about NTFS support (as a CM user, so if it is a change to the stock ROM I don't know). There have been attempts to add NTFS/ext3 support to Vold (Volume Daemon, the process responsible for handling SD card, internal memory, and USB drive connections and mount points) but none have been merged into CM/AOSP/AOKP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] seff5677:
NTFS is supported now on the Note? Im guessing it involves altering the phone to accept this file system because i tried just changing the format on the external SD and it didn't read it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] globaltrasher:
Thanks for heads up!

Yes, you need it rooted and depending on the ROM used, you may get lucky and half of the work can be already done. I got in up and running after some initial headaches - read up in shardul_seth's thread - Full NTFS Read Write support for Android (ARM)
[HTC One X] tfallon:
Hi all

Had the One X (from vodafone uk) for about 6 weeks now - fantastic phone and very happy until yesterday. The phone started doing this on Sunday afternoon and has become progressively worse over the last 24 hours.

Possibly unrelated but the issue first occurred after installing 6 app updates (astro file manager, dropbox, frontline commando and 3 others which escape me)

Display goes from "normal" to ultra low resolution. Seems to coincide with buttons becoming unresponsive (including power). Phone will often not display anything though I can here alerts as messages come in. If I hold in power button to turn phone off the back, menu and recent apps buttons flash briefly but phone display does not come back on.

I tried to link to some images from my public dropbox folder but don't have enough posts on here yet. Attazhed 7z file with png of the display going batsh1t.

Yesterday it was somewhat intermittent today its become progressively worse however. In between bursts of display oddity I managed to get the latest OTA updata from HTC/Vodafone installed 1.29.161.3 but problem persists. I've also done a factory reset to no avail.

Current versions if this is in any way useful:

Android version 4.0.3

HTC sense 4.0

kernel version 2.6.39.4-g1389c4c

I'm guessing as factory reset did not work and neither did the OTA update then I'm looking at hardware issue (GFX or CPU or mainboard?) and most likely back to Vodafone for repair. Just seeking advice if I'm on to the right likely issue here and if anyone else had same/similar issue in case a software update *could* resolve the issue.

Cheers
[HTC One X] mox123:
looks like hardware issue like not all of the data is being sent to the screen, did you drop it or something?

anyway send it back and get it repaired or replaced

this happened to one of my old desire, i dropped it hard and the screen went all low res and weird colours
[HTC One X] tfallon:
RESOLVED: Changing resolution and power issues One X

Hi Mox, thanks for that, sort of confirms what I already suspected. Was just hoping a software update or similar could resolve rather than saying goodbye to the phone for 3 weeks while Vodafone sort it.

Don't remember dropping the phone (but I have kids).

Sorting out with Vodafone now. Thanks again.

Sorry that I have to post this here...I don't post much, just am a super power user... any thoughts on how to make this rom perform faster? I push a button and wait for the phone to respond. Especially slow when it comes to the maps app. An seriously contemplating going back to cm9b14 if not all the way back to gingerbread to get the speed I need from a device. I type faster than it is able to display the letters when searching in google. Not wure what feature to turn off or how much more I can overclock the thing.

On install I did a factory reset, total partition format, new sd card format, efs wipe, and ed's ril/gps fix after install.

Not sure how to tweak v6 supercharer. Seems too complicated honestly.

Thoughts?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bharakrama:
I just started running Mimicry today and I find it to be quite a snappy ROM right out of the box especially if you picked the V6 Supercharger and the Virtuous OC Daemon from the Aroma installer. I believe doing this automatically increases your clock speed to 1209 Mhz. However if you want to increase the speed of your CPU some more, can modify it through the Performance menu or you can download SetCPU.
