First of all you shouldnt have to ask the opinions of others to make a personal decision.

Second, the only question you should be asking is whether this Device fits in with your lifestyle, only reason I say that is because Craigslist is filled with people trying to unload their impulse tablet purchase.

As a student who reads a lot of notes and power point files, I wonder if the 7in size will be good enough, but also how it feels to draw/write/highlight on the 7in screen, and if there are any notable apps for that sort of productivity?

I'm gonna sell my kindle fire and upgrade to the N7. I was pleasantly surprised with the real estate on the 7" device for media, games, reading, etc.

Honestly 7" might be too small for hand written notes though, but the N7's higher resolution might work better than my cheapo fire.

I use my ipad during at night a lot and, and my phone during the day for browsing and some gaming. I know the SGS2 will get jelly bean sometime but not for a while because I prefer stock. I just don't know what to do!
[Nexus 7 General] kanzlerin:
Why don't you just get an external power pack? Mine is tiny and costed only 15 dollar. It can charge my iphone 4 to the fullest once.

That said, I have ipads and netbook that I love, and I'm still getting tempted by Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] markboston:
sure. the nexus is fantastic. i see the phone and tablet as too separate devices that both do similar things but each is good for its own tasks. for example if your doing something that needs a larger screen size this is where a tablet would come in handy. i have a nexus 7 but for my phone i use a iphone and also have a ipad. seeing switching from android to a iphone i use my ipad less and less but now that i have the nexus i think im going to use this a lot more. the ipad is just too big sometimes i mean its great for video and games look awesome but they look just as awesome on a 7 inch screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bikeracer4487:
So I was in the process of encrypting my phone storage after setting a PIN. The 'Internal Storage' encrypted fine, but when I encrypted the 'Phone storage', it encrypted REALLY fast, much too fast for being almost 50% full, and it never required a restart, which I thought was odd. But I did a restart anyways, and now I can't access the phone storage at all. In the Storage menu in Settings it just says 'Unavailable' for both Total Space and Available. I can't even back up the phone to do a factory reset, because I can't access the "external" SD card from anywhere, please help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yazooo:
Hey,

I have exactly the same problem. Did you ever fix it? I'd rather not have to do a factory reset!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
Just out of curiosity, as I saw this on the Galaxy Nexus forums a lot, why encrypt? Unless you're a businessman or similar, and not just need to encrypt pictures of your dog, why do it?

If you read more about it, you'd know the risks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bikeracer4487:
Why encrypt? Because it's really the only way to prevent someone from accessing your data if they come across your phone. Even if you set up a PIN, a person who's moderately knowledgeable about Android phones will be able to connect it to a computer and bypass the PIN in any number of ways. Plus, I know receive company e-mail on my phone and they're now pushing for all Android phones to be encrypted.

No, I never did fix it, I ended up grabbing the 1.85 RUU and wiping EVERYTHING off the phone (luckily, I had made a fairly recent backup before I encrypted). I see in the T-Mobile forums that one guy seems to have a way of encrypting the phone storage that might work...but I'm not sure I wanna risk it...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yazooo:
Yep, I have to encrypt as part of policies if I want to connect to work's exchange server. My work has used an app that monitors the compliance and if I don't get encryption working they can wipe my phone.

What a pain!

Ok, I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere else on here, however I can not seem to find it and I want to make sure I do this properly! I have rooted my Galaxy Skyrocket and installed the ICS 4.2-5A rom version 4.0.4 and I want to install Seans new update 6B and I wanted to know the steps to apply the update. From what I read I know I do not need to completely wipe my phone and reinstall the rom. Also, will I have to reinstall my radio after I install the update? Thank you to anyone that can help me!

As for saying no front camera I only saw that one time and it was when trying to open the smart stay beta when no longer available. Its nothing to worry about. If your front camera works then in the camera app there isn't anything to worry about. Its just a glitch

If you flash custom roms with it or any roms in fact, do you still lose root?

Put the zip file on you root folder, Then power off the phone & switch it back on pressing up to boot into cmw. Once cmw loads select flash zip from SD & select the zip file you want to flash...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Unless I am missing something, the offline maps feature kinda sucks. While yes, you have the pure basic map available to you, that's about it. Things that still require a data connection:

1. Getting directions - i.e. directions from 49th and 7th to Madison Square Garden

2. Navigation - i.e. the GPS navigator app ("turn right," "rerouting," etc.)

3. Non-major landmarks - the NYC map looks downright empty, as we only get street names and major landmarks... I was hoping that we could still see names of buildings/restaurants/shops, maybe even the 3D building outlines

I get that option 3 will require a lot more storage, but seems worth it (or at least provide an option to save that down).

But the lack of offline directions/navigation really limits the utility of offline maps, imo. I understand if directions may require access to the Google servers to generate a path - but clearly standalone GPS units can all do this without cell/WiFi signal. Seems like there should be a way to do this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
Complaining about new features... Amazing.

Here's an idea, instead of complaining about not having certain landmarks while offline in new york, turn your cell phone connection on and have those features...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
I agree with OP. I don't see any major difference with this offline cache against the samething offered previously. So, it is not a new feature to me.

Here is a clue to you: you landed in a foreign country and you know it will cost you an arm or a leg to turn on the cell phone data connection. Or, in the case of CMDA phones, you may not have connections at all. This is why we need to have offline caching.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ComposMentis:
I think his gripes are valid. What is the point of an offline map if you can't navigate or get directions? Typically people download maps offline when they know they are going to be traveling through/in an area without a strong data connection.

I had no idea those features didn't work in offline mode and just because the missing features don't impact you doesn't mean others don't have valid reasons for wanting/needing them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
You are right. If it's a new feature, it must be flawless, and I must bow down in reverence. I am oh so sorry to offend you.

The point of this thread is to make others aware, see if they agree, if there are other solutions... you know, form a "discussion."

Thanks foxbat and ComposMentis!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Disagreeing and debating is a form of "discussion". What's the point of talking about anything if everyone agrees with you?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NeedAPhone:
Agree with you, no major changes. Offline navi and directions a must!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bluenote73:
Super disappointing. I'm not sure why google falls down so badly sometimes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nodiaque:
Well, when I read the google map change, it simply say that map can be downloaded for offline caching. Nowhere does it says it allow for offline search, direction and such.

Yes, does feature have been long time requested and google announce it was coming soon, but one feature like this, as easy as it might seems, can be very hard to implement on a system that wasn't made for it. Having the map offline (for reel now, not those 10 parts max download) is a step in the right direction. Remember when they decided that the map would "fade out" when you are on a long stretch that doesn't have any new information to sa battery? Lots of people requested it's removal or at least an option to toggle it. The feature was made available in a menu like 10 updates later. It's not 1 dev team that's doing everything from google map, google navigation to google itself, where it is the central of all maps query and database.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ThisWasATriumph:
Unless you can download much, much larger areas at a time, navigation offline will never work. It has to pick directions based on the entire map and all possible routes. Navigation as it stands, im fairly certain, sends requests to google's servers for them to calculate and give back results. Eventually this may be ported to the OS itself as voice diction is now in JB, but as it stands, it requires an internet connection.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] branaja:
new maps suck! before, you could enable precaching in labs and get up to 10 areas downloaded, but now it only works in USA and UK!

and I live in Narnia again -.-
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
I am not even able to get a large area 2 hours away about 100 miles, would be nice if you could choose the size it could use., or something like this map will be approximately blah blah mb. Do you agree... And offline directions would be really the only reason to use offline, can't think of much more to use it for. I live in an area that has fauxG (hspa+) but 15 min in all directions I'm stuck to edge for the whole area until greenbay, or lower michigan. So having a large area available offline would be nice. Good idea, but bad implementation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raikesy:
Seeing as they are slowly upgrading a free service, I think the update is just fine...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SKYLINESSUCK:

Google Maps gives us Navigation, Places, Traffic, Transit, etc., all for free and they all work pretty well. I'm sure Google is going to enhance the feature soon enough.

I feel they wanted to shed the "Beta" tag ahead of Apple releasing their mapping application but it was probably still too soon.

I'm just wondering how Nokia Maps on Windows Phone OS can do true offline turn-by-turn navigation, and Google Maps cannot. Nokia Maps has had this feature for about 2 or 3 years at least.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
It all comes up to $$$. Map data is expensive to license. There are only two map data providers in the world: Tele Atlas (now owned by TomTom) and NavTeq (now owned by Nokia). License terms dictate what Google can do and can't do. For example, Microsoft's Bing Maps on WP7 can't even do what Google Nav can do today.

Nokia Maps are only allowed to work on Nokia phones.

SystemUI.apk.scale - so all buttons act like the back button and stay big
