[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] goattee:
Modern Android devices are manufactured with a lot more memory than the days of Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread. So the newer versions don't need the workaround of moving apps to external storage. As a result, apps run faster and can't be harmed by removing the card.

At least the ICS release allows us to move data freely. I understand that Jelly Bean will start requiring app permissions to access the external storage for data.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Get back to that point and when it bootloops, pull the battery, boot into recovery again and reflash ICS over itself.

From my guide

When you say that you didn't have recovery. Was that a custom recovery or you just saw the stock again? There should be no reason why you would not have recovery of some sort.

Hey guys.

Recently I purchased a ADATA 16gb micro SD class 10 ($16 on e-bay) to replace the 4gb class 4 that came with my phone. Since I already have an 32gb iPod Touch for music and games, I really don't need more space on my phone.

I've made a benchmark, to compare the speed difference between the phone's internal memory, 4gb class 4 mSD and the 16gb class 10 mSD.

Here are the results (click to enlarge):

- Internal memory (plugged into USB):

- ADATA mSD, trough USB card reader:

- ADATA mSD, trough phone:

- Stock 4gb mSD trough USB card reader:

[Nexus 7 General] Big_Den:
Final answer to all the people wondering about profit margins. What I'm wondering is, how would they work this out? Doesnt the cost price for the component depend on the order amount. They would have to know Asus's and Google's production numbers to find a more accurate figure, no?

http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-7-production-costs-estimated-at-184-06237492/

[Nexus 7 General] suchavibrantthang:

[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
ASUS is certainly profiting more off the 16GB model.
[Nexus 7 General] c4v3man:
8GB Nexus 7 cost: $184.




16GB Nexus7 cost: $190.




:eek:

To be clear, I'm just making a joke... but still, $50 for 8GB of flash?
[Nexus 7 General] Jyveafk:
I can see eventually Google offering % cuts of the advertising/media sales to the device vendors. As that's something Apple/Amazon can do, to NOT o the same will reduce their ability to compete somewhat. It'd be a good carrot to dangle to the vendors too.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
Production cost isn't fixed, but pegged to volume (aka economy of scale). Assuming N7 sells well, this will go down. Component costs also drop over time. KF est BOM cost was $200'ish in Nov last year, now it's $150'ish.

http://google.com/search?q=kindle+fire+bom+cost

The thin margin is why the 8GB SKU is only sold through Play. The 16GB SKU's larger margin allows retailers to take their cut.

Some think that lack of SD slot is a cost-saving decision. But the one thing that cheapo China tabs have is plenty of ports, even full-sized USB. Per above, it's obvious to say that lack of SD is to encourage sales of the higher-end SKU, as else folks will just get the base model + 32GB microSD.

Realistically, the majority of sales will be for the $250 16GB SKU, allowing Goog to make a nominal profit (although I doubt HW profit is Goog's main concern). The 8GB's $200 mark is good for advertising, but is more of a lowballed price.

>I can see eventually Google offering % cuts of the advertising/media sales to the device vendors... It'd be a good carrot to dangle to the vendors too.

I was pondering this same possibility. The rising "app store" model really shoves HW vendors into second-class status. They bear the costs of device manufacturing and marketing, and yet only makes pennies while the platform owner and ISVs make all the big bucks. Some thing will need to give.

Pragmatically, I don't see the above notion happening any time soon, mainly because the ecosystem owners don't have to. There will need to be some trend or sign of rebellion from HW vendors. But the flip side to this is that it will only encourage the eco-owners (MS, Google, Amazon) to roll their own devices, which they are already wont to do.

Methinks many strategists in HW-only vendors are scratching their heads right now, trying to plan a workaround for a content-first market.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Sound analysis, emote.

Assuming they're using up-front component costs, I would treat their estimate as an upper bound. They're making at least $15/unit, more if economies of scale kick in. And probably vastly more on the more popular 16gb version.

Assuming the report about Asus keeping all the profits is accurate, I'd say Asus got a good deal here. The Nexus branding means they'll sell like hotcakes, for hardware inferior to their original me3o. Sounds kinda like a certain fruity company we all know of.

[Nexus 7 General] clintkev251:
That's has to be a typo, it is definitely 100% capacitive. And I guess I was thinking of back in the day with older iPod touches where it was a $100 difference between 8 and 16GB models

iSuppli: 8GB N7 BOM cost = $152, 16GB N7 BOM cost = $160

http://allthingsd.com/20120711/googles-nexus-7-costs-152-to-make-ihs-isuppli-teardown-finds/

This is good news. It means that other companies can also build a similar 7"--hopefully w/ HDMI and SD slot--and sell it for same price ($250 for 16GB) and still make money. Google upped the ante, but didn't kill off the 7" market. Hopefully there'll be more entrants other than the KF2, since most likely it won't have a SD slot either.

Interesting tidbit: N7 800x1280 IPS display cost = $38, Fire 600x1024 IPS display cost = $35. It only costs $3 more for the high-res display. That means we'll probably see many other 7" going hi-res in the near future. Maybe 10" as well?

Main one is dropbox just so easy to use though the others pretty much do things the same way now. Tend to also use it to transfer small files to my phone/tab.

Google drive I mainly use for syncing backups from Titanium backup, don't like the way you can't just download a file somewhere sensible on android without hunting through folders for where it put it.

Sugar sync mainly on PC it syncs a few specific folders for backup, photos standalone apps I never forget where I got them from etc.

Box have an account not really used it for anything.

Sky drive not really used yet

Asus sync, have the old unlimited storage plan £20ish a year thats no longer available to new customers. It has backup of most of my PC, has a stupidly slow upload speed been backing up my computer for over a year.

i use GDrive as pictures as they have unlimited pic and video storage and my RAZR does all the shooting. everything with camera i upload using desktop Picasa. unlimited. storage.

sure it has some 5Gb of misc storage too or something.

DropBox is nice for quick document multi-location work as it syncs best between desktop and phone. but 3.75Gb only (click the link on my sig! :p) also use Public folder for sharing public pics for forums n whatnot... and pretty much sharing public stuff.

SkyDrive i got 25Gb and that's where i store most of my office docs and misc files.

Box i got 50Gb but with the filesize limit i use it only for Titanium Backup and a couple Android stuff (fastboot and ROM and stuff). i use GSplitter to split/unify the files.

Dropbox + ES File Explorer + MX Player. Streamed xvid avi just fine for me. need to try SkyDrive i suppose...

edit: just tried Skydrive. it doesn't support AVI. but Box.net works just fine. And Drive too. maybe ill put my movies in Drive.... hmmm....

Custom Recovery (clockworkmod, 4Ext, etc) would be necessary if you wish to be able to backup/restore your device via nandroid backups, as well as flash any roms other than Stock (i.e.: just bout everything in the dev forum).

So yes if you want a custom rom you need a recovery other than the stock one.

I've never had a tablet before so this is all quite new to me. Someone posted a link in the main TF700 discussion thread about a firmware update that's available on the Asus website here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16

I've downloaded the zip file but amn't sure how to install it. Do I just need to extract the contents to a specific folder? After extracting to a newly made folder I didn't see any 'readme' or self extracting file so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Apologies for the probably stupid question! I'd appreciate any help :)
