so far office depot has the best deal for me.. including tax and free shipping is $267.49

I included a free $15 gas card coupon you can use.

if you use bigcrumbs.com to order you get additional 4.2% cash back

so total 267.49 - $15 gas card - $11.23 cash back = $241.26 shipped.

I'm surprised no one knew about the gamestop deal (found out from the nx7 gamestop thread on slickdeals)

for a while they were offering an additional 30% on trade ins if you're using it towards the nx7

I bought 2 iPod touches off craigslist for 60 and 65 for 125 total

traded them into gamestop for $240 on credit

so I got my nx7 for about 150 OTD (after taxes)

screaming deal for the latest tablet. I think gamestop reduced trade in values but increased the bonus to 50%

took me about an hour total worth of work (includes searching craigslist and meeting people up)

granted, I live where craigslist originated... San Francisco bay area

yea, bigcrumbs.com. If you've heard of Fatwallet, it's similar. It offers cash back for your purchase from various vendors.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thechoirman:
If any of you were like me, the new Samsung update that, in essence, killed the universal search capability, DROVE ME CRAZY. No matter where I looked, I could not find an answer.

I have a rooted SGS3 from Sprint. No matter how many times you tried to dismiss that notification, it always came back. It was truly the most annoying item I have ever ran accross with a smartphone (and I have had them all with the exception of Windows 8).

Anyway, it bugged me so bad that I was willing to take the chance that it would kill my root access, and I would just have to root it again.

Bottom line, click the "Install now" as if you are going to install the update. The phone will restart, and "attemp" to install the update, but you will instead see a picture of the Android lying in his side with a red triange. CWM will already be in the "reboot system now" position. Just press the power button.

Your phone will then start again and you will no longer have the infamous update notification!!:fingers-crossed:

Hi,

Can someone send me the original email.apk located in /system/apps, I accidentally deleted it.

I don't use it but thought is should still be there so I don't have any future issues.

I was trying to overwrite it with a version that let me change the theme from black on white text, to white on black.

I was unable to find a version like that that would install.

I was hoping foolishly, that the new version of the email app that was provided by Samsung's Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch on Sprint upgrade to ICS would work but it did not even install.

If I could install that I would be happy.

I currently am using Katien Mail (pro version of K-9), which does not always integrate with some default procedures.

Thank you for providing me with the original if you can do it.

In my ARHD (which is based on stock) there is email.app v4.1, I want to try if newest version of this app have same functionality like in maildroid and better look like my 4.1 version.

but, now I know, that email app don't change between ICS and JB, it doesn't matter if it is from Asus or stock android.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makaijin:
With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.

Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.

Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost-5:
What makaijin says is correct

I had mine a bit of a charge yesterday but it was no where near full.

Used it till it was flat this morning. It's currently on charge and I'm going to leave it till it's full only because I need to stop messing with it and do other things
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
I charged mine for 4 hours before use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanthesolo:
Although it is probably not necessary nowadays, I like to fully discharge the device, then charge it overnight (so it gets back up to 100% and tops off), then cycle it that way 2/3 times, so properly "condition" the battery, as I don't 100% trust the conditioning done before shipping.

Just as a side note, most of the battery conditioning lore is coming from way back in the bad ol' nicad days (probably 1990's), when you HAD to 100% discharge/recharge the battery, and make sure it didn't overcharge or undercharge, else it would not be "conditioned" properly, and it had a permanently reduced max charge. Nowadays, expecially with Lion, it is not necessary, and may even be harmful to fully discharge/recharge cycle EVERY time you use it. The first few times it's probably best to do it to fully condition the battery, but beyond that, it really does nothing.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCarnage:
"Conditioning" does not occur with li-on batteries, period. Charging/discharging does absolutely nothing for the life of your battery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpxdude:
Ifixit shows that the battery inside the Nexus 7 is Lithium Polymer. Does that make a difference in terms of conditioning compared to Li-Ion batteries? :eek:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanthesolo:
Oh, thanks. I thought that was my being paranoid :).

Lithium Polymer batteries are actually worse than Lithium-Ion. Don't take my word for it, but at least with older RC Lipo batteries, fully discharging damages them even more the lithium-ion. I am sure the tablet cuts off way before the danger point, but still something to keep in mind.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRDennyCrane:
Here's the deal- and this has been verified on multiple devices with larger batteries- Your tablet will need to self-calibrate the battery meter/charging to the battery. You can expect things like sketchy battery life and running down very low or completely overnight for the first couple days. Once everything "syncs up", you can take advantage of the full potential of the battery. This happened with my Razr Maxx and it happened on my Nexus 7's first overnight. And, talking to people who have had their Nexus 7's a few days, it's common and expected.

As said, it is NOT the battery conditioning, it is the device calibrating. The battery is pretty big and there's a period of time while the device learns.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
I decided to drain the battery all the way and then charge it all the way up. It's charging right now actually, any idea how long it should take to get up to 100%?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazaro17:
Not sure but you can always tap the power button to pull up the battery charge animation. It should let you know when it is fully charged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TP_NC_USER:
Over discharging a Lithium Ion battery can ruin it in a single cycle. Of course any consumer device should shut off before that happens but deep discharges to the shut off point still permanently reduce battery capacity significantly more than shallower discharge cycles.

In simple terms, you'll get significantly more hours of battery use during its lifetime if you only discharge to 50% than 10% or less.

Lithium Ion batteries never need to be "fully discharged" to the device shut off point and as stated above, it isn't "good" for them.

That said, a discharge from fully charged to at or near shutoff let's the device software measure the battery capacity more accurately so you'll get a more accurate battery reading.

Lithium Ion batteries should not be charged at elevated temperatures. If you just watched a two hour movie, let it cool down before charging. A tablet is a nasty place for a battery with the CPU heating it up. Most manufacturers advise not charging at > 85 deg F and 70 deg F is better. A really good charger will measure battery temperature and reduce the max charging rate at elevated temperatures.

Lithium Ion batteries should be stored at 50-70% capacity and not fully charged. That's ~3.7 V per cell. Those of us who use the device a lot on external power would see a lot longer battery life if there was a mode which allowed keeping the battery below 100% while on external power. It seems every manufacturer thinks consumers are too dumb to understand the value of providing it and switching to full charge mode before we run off on battery power.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brizey:
I would rather always have my battery near max charge when I take it off the charger than have a battery last 7 years instead of 3 or 4 in a device I will realistically only use extensively for 2. Even more so with a phone where they battery can replaced for $20. I'll take a full charge every time over the battery lasting for years longer than I need it to.

I have a first gen iPod Touch I bought when they were released (2007 I think?). I have left it on a charger for MONTHS. Still holds a decent charge.

Calibration occurs every time the battery is charged to 100%. It isn't a "first few days" type of thing, it is every single time the battery meter reaches 100%.

I had no choice but to completely charge my N7 (purchased from Office Depot 7/14). When I went to turn it on the first time, I was greeted with small text in the upper left side of the screen that said "show low battery logo" on a completely black screen. No logo...no nothing. Completely blank. Plugged it in, the battery charging logo popped up, fully charged it and it's been working great since.

However, I found it a bit odd as I thought most of these types of devices ship with about a 40% battery charge.

How do you know when it is fully charged when it is off? Before I turned it on I plugged mine in and left for class. When I got back I checked to see if it was finished charging and I got a picture of a solid battery. I assumed it was done charging since it wasn't blinking or filling up.

And no charging animation and I got the panic attack tried to switch on after 1hr... 2 hr. Nothing happened.. Tried pressing for 30sec several times (as it worked for some) in my case nothing happened so I put it on for charging entire night. In the morning also I tried turning it on. Nothing happened so I decided to return the product. And I mailed the supplier. He is ready to take it back and give me new one

As a last attempt I tried the power button and my device powered on and now battery showing at 100..

I have a brand new Nexus that I got from the Playstore. I also have a an unlocked Note I'm running on Straight Talk. I decided to throw the sim into the Nexus and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took out the sim and tried to start it and it went into and endless bootloop.

Somewhere along the line I must have hit the volume button and power button because it went to the screen that says start and I hit the power button but then it locked up. I pulled the battery and turned it back on and now it just loops the black screen with the Google logo and the little padlock at the bottom.

What the heck did I do? What should I do?

I have only turned this phone on once and have never had it set up or used it for anything. I basically only turned it on just to make sure it worked.

Should I not have used a sim from another phone? I thought that was possible.

This sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phositadc:
I'll leave the real advice to the experts, but I can tell you that putting your Note sim card in your Nexus certainly did not brick the Nexus. If your Nexus is bricked and that is really all you did to it, then it was defective when it arrived -- you didn't do it.
