[Nexus 7 General] gmikesell:
That's what I did. About a week ago I sold my year old macbook air 13" for $1000 on craigslist and bought a samsung galaxy tab 2 7". Been loving it ever since! Now I've found out about the nexus 7 and I pre ordered the 16 gb model. I'm trying an experiment in our family with not having our own laptops and just using a tablet (wife's idea). Setting my wife set up the same way. We have 1 pc laptop that we'll share and use our tablets as our personal device. So far, it's been working out great for us. Seriously can't wait for the nexus 7 to arrive!
[Nexus 7 General] Mr. Argent:
I already use my nook in lieu of a laptop -- my aging Core 2 Quad handles all the heavy lifting i need it to.
[Nexus 7 General] Superguy:
Try typing anything serious on a netbook. Even with my Transformer Prime, it's not fun to do, plus the major office suites (including several paid for versions I've tried) are really watered down. If you're planning on writing anything serious with it, adding graphics, etc, I'd seriously suggest keeping a laptop around for that at least, even if it's an old and/or basic one.

Especially since most tablet apps on Android are just stretched phone apps.
[Nexus 7 General] DamienChaos:
Currently, I use my Cr48 for all light tasks and it goes with me anywhere. Although it has been a stellar device and I do enjoy ChromeOS, its a bit underpowered for some multimedia tasks (i.e. watching Netflix). As my aging "OG" Evo phone also suffers from an even more apparent lack of power, my purchase of the N7 is more to replace the midsize "netbook-tier" device than anything else. I think it'll fit there perfectly.

My ThinkPad will remain the go-to "main device" for any heavy lifting tasks but, as the W520 is anything but portable, I need a more lightweight option!

Almost

My Nexus 7 almost replaces my laptop. I was going to replace my Dell Inspiron 1525 with a netbook or a tablet. Since I am no longer on the road traveling, all I need is a living room device. My Nexus 7 works well for what it does. I love Google Now. It works well for looking up things my wife and I are discussing. The Chrome web browser works well but not good enough for bill paying and banking. Also printing does not work well with the older printer I have. I have a very nice Windows 7 desktop for anything serious. The Nexus 7 is a wonderful device as an edition to a digital household, but not a complete notebook replacement. I can say that I now read more books and the GPS is awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] Logic_:
2 days after I got my n7, my laptop passed away.

Can't say I've missed it much.

In some cases tho, it would be faster. For instance it's way faster ctrl+clicking a bunch of links compared to long-press+tap.
[Nexus 7 General] T-Keith:
My tablet has become my main device. Of course I've been using a chromebook for the for quite a while as my main computer. Still needed for some Web work, but for the most part my new n7 will be my main device.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
HDMI is a sore loss. Nothing like PS3 Bluetooth controller playing classic games on the big screen. I would recommend the Samsung note 10".

Or wait till they get wifi sync setup.
[Nexus 7 General] Deleted member 4331454:
Ever since my Nexus arrived, i've severely neglected my laptop. Now, it just feels so damn heavy after just throwing my Nexus into my bag and being on my way for the past few weeks.

Safe to say, my Nexus7 has become my main device as well.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.

またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.

The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?

Hi all

Just registered to join in on this thread.

This is my first smartphone and was all excited for the s3,

only to be unpleasantly surprised by the docomo palette ui...

I knowledge my noob status, so please be gentle with me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfusernameistaken:
My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.

The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habbit:
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cezeff:
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CptSupermrkt:
This is my first Android device (and my first post :))

I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.

I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?

One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.

Having trouble with sakuramilk cm9

I've flashed the nightly builds by sakuramilk from 7/27 and from 8/5. In both cases, I get display corruption during boot animation, and lots of crashing once it boots. I tried building his port from source and substituting stock kernel, which solves the display problems but doesn't result in a usable ROM.

Actually I'm perplexed as to how this ROM would work given in his source config he's referencing the same defconfig as d2att. Perhaps he has a custom defconfig but I'm not seeing it in his github source.

Any special tips on how you guys got this working?

Thanks..

Did you wipe all data and cache before flashing the rom? I just wiped all my data and cache the first time and then flashed the original cm9 he posted from 7/23 I think. I flashed his nightly yesterday with no problem as well. Did you update your CWM to 6.0? I haven't seen a defconfig either.

So what's the consensus on a docomo SC-06d with root and/or CyanogenMod 9? I keep going back and forth between it and the HTC One X, because at first I didn't care about LTE... until I tried watching some Olympics while tethered and was getting sub-par quality picture. On the other hand, I think I'd rather have sub-par quality picture than a ****ty docomo ROM. If CM9 and CM10 development is consistent, I'd much rather go with the Galaxy S3. Thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noeldc:
It just fixes a problem when opening attachments in Jocomo's awful SP-mode mail app.

Edit: Oh, and it kills root, again..... (updated via Kies)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] society mike:
Assuming you're talking about international version OneX, keep in mind Japans LTE network uses different freq so inter. or US version LTE phones won't work here, the LTE part that is.

Im on CM9 and love it so jump on board! Even if you don't put CM9 on your phone you can still root an uninstall the apps you don't want on either phone you get. IDK much about the One x ,but you really can't beat the SG3. LTE is legit!

I'll definitely be putting CM9 on it, haha... I'll probably be buying it near the end of the month, so I can wait for a more consistent flash method to become available. Is it pretty much a wrap that ROMs that work with the US Galaxy S3's won't work with the Japanese version?

Hey guys, don't beat me too ad. I just got my s3 last week, switching from a softbank DHD. I also have an asus slider.

I dont read kanji.Ive gotten as far as installing clocwork with ODIN3, help. anyone in Fukuoka? I just want root. has anyone rooted the stock docomo image? is it flashable via odin? thanks in advance.

nevermind figured it out. so where are the roms?(i know the sakura milk ones, anyone tried anythign else lately?) :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domesdkg:
From what I've gathered from an hour or two of poking around on XDA there isn't much in the way of roms yet. Sakuramilk might be your best bet for the time being. (I'd take CM9 over the DoCoMo skin any day)

Edit: The SD-06D wiki seems to suggest that ATT roms will work, but says it doesn't know what will happen for anything other than AOKP and CM9

As for root method, this seems to be the best one atm:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746665

The version linked from the post doesn't support SC-06D out of the box, but apparently if you donate you can get the update that allows it. Seems PMing him might be the best course of action.

He still needs testers for it to get SC-06D functionality ready for primetime, so the more we can help with it the better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] society mike:
If you don't want to use the docomo or touchwiz UI then download a different one like ADW Launcher, you don't have to root to ditch stock interface.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domesdkg:
I've been following the Japanese thread a bit more.

There now seems to also be a Japanese produced rooting kit. It, and several other things are linked to from the Japanese SC-06D wiki

On a somewhat tangential note. If you are interested in the Japanese thread, but are having trouble reading the kanji, you might try the rikaikun(chrome) or rikaichan(firefox) extensions, which let you mouse over the Japanese to translate. :good:

I wonder then if we can use ATT Roms, if the CM10 version that is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1806921 will work. I know it won't have any of the Japanese stuff on here ,but i don't use any of that so it wouldn't matter to me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discoltk:
That "Japanese stuff" is like, the radio that works with LTE in Japan. So, no, you need a ROM specifically built for the SC-06D.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swaf:
That is just the modem which you could flash separate with Odin. Im just wondering if everything else will work like the camera and other apps. Also there was a post on the last page that referenced this link which said ATT roms will work. So, why do you say that they won't work?

http://www59.atwiki.jp/sc06d/pages/29.html
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discoltk:
Well, if you look at what their scripts are doing, they've provided all the SC-06D proprietary files and are modifying the system properties accordingly. Its just a hacked up way to implementing the changes they've made to the cm9 build, and should produce something close to what you get with their custom build and ROM. So, there's absolutely no reason to do that instead of just installing their ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domesdkg:
In theory you could just copy off any of the Japanese apps you wanted to use beforehand, and then copy them back onto any rom, but that would need to be tested.

Good point... Especially since we have an RFID reader instead of NFC, and it needs special drivers. Would be most radical if CM could be forked for our device, that that's way beyond me :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discoltk:
Its not just apps, there are a ton of scripts, resource properties, libraries, system apps, and a different kernel. CM *IS* forked for our device, by the guys who made the ROM that has been referenced in the forum, who are the same guys who made that hackjob install script. Ideally once this stuff is working well it'll be folded into the real CM repo so that we're not quite so marginalized.
