[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JB1971:
I reckon 7" again, I like this size for gaming, browsing and everything else tabletty hehe. (is tabletty even a word?)

I've been looking at the google nexus and Samsung galaxy 2, I think the google is looking the best of the 2.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ncvikingx97:
I am liking mine, I just wish it didn't have screen raise. Unless you want an sd lot or camera get the nex
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JB1971:
16gb on board is enough for me and I'm not bothered about the camera.

I've had a go on the Nexus and like it but it big enough step to warrant a purchase......ie after a month or 2 will I be thinking 'the flyer is just as good and I've wasted my money'?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bagelicious:
I bought the View in January and initially loved it. It began to get really slow and buggy and I was bummed about not getting updated past HoneyComb, so I decided to get the Nexus 7 as well. I love it! I've had it about 2 weeks without any issues at all. It runs circles around the View. I haven't really been bummed about the lack of a sd card yet (I have a 50gb Box.net account so I can store all my titanium backup files there and get them when I'm connected to wifi). I honestly can't ever see myself preferring the View over this thing. My phone has a camera so I really don't need one on my tablet.

Anyways, take it for a spin and then just go with the device you prefer. There's nothing technically wrong with the View/Flyer, its just a bit older and slower.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrS600L:
I think I'm gonna do the same. The Flyer is dead in the water. It's best to move on now. It happens guys. This was probably the best tablet hardware at the time. Good camera, screen, internal memory etc. But the world has moved on. & so has Android & HTC. I still have a year left on my contract, but I don't mind swapping for a Nexus tablet. Will just try get some parts to refurbish the scratched & dinged bits, & pass it onto my nephew. Its still in good knick, even after my soapy water bucket incident ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I'm gonna go for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition Bundle for $250,

has a micro-sd slot and includes a keyboard / dock and USB adapter in the box.

Or the Galaxy Note.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JB1971:
I read elsewhere that the Nexus 7 doesn't have haptic / vibrate feedback on the screen. Is this correct?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I'm debating between that, and the Galaxy tab 10.1 because it has the S-pen. I used the pen on my flyer a lot but with the 2.7 being shipped with a keyboard that's hard to pass up. And for a reasonable price too.

The only thing that steers me away is that 1ghz dual core processor.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Is there a 7 inch tab out there that is really so much better then flyer thats worth to change it? Looking at nexus i am loosing SD slot, 3g, pen, and posibilities for some stupid bugs.

Looking at Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0 looks nice, was holding it and fits heand better then flyer, nice boddy work but - is it really so much better then Flyer to pay 350€ for 3g version in Europe.

All just couse of ICS/JB? For me prolly more time must pass b4 ill switch. Still hope we can get some more fixes on ICS / JB roms we have until then GB stil works very nice for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well I think it really just depends on what the user uses the tablet for. If you are still happy with your flyer, no quarrels, then why not just keep it? I would say that the dev scene is still pretty active, we have some pretty awesome people working on JB/ICS for us.

My flyer's screen is broken so I'm looking for a new tablet. I go to college and take a lot of notes so the Gtab 2.7 that comes with the keyboard is pretty ideal for me. That'd be much easier than lugging my laptop around everyday. You could even use a mouse with the USB adapter. Like I said, it all just depends on what you use your tablet for.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I just cut my losses for a nexus and 3 weeks in I have no regrets. It's fast as hell, and build quality is good imo. Don't have the screen lift issue, no issues other than occasional screen flicker which I hesitate to even call an issue and the fact people are making warranty claims over it makes me sick. It's very rate and is over in half a second, and software related from what I hear.

Unless you have to have the features your loosing like a rear camera, sd slot, mhl, and vibrate then it's worth it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JB1971:
Well I've finally got another tablet after much thinking and gone with the iPad 2.

Although I love Android, I wanted something completely different to dabble with, different size, different OS.

I liked the Flyer on Gingerbread, it was fairly fast but Honeycomb totally killed the tablet (thanks HTC for making me feel like I have spent a lot of money on a slow overpriced brick)

Other reasons for going to iPad2 :-

In my opinion there's not really any half decent 10" Android tablets about, the Samsung is cheep looking in my opinion, I don't like touchwiz and the speakers on the front look stupid.I don't want an Asus transformer because that also looks cheap and as for the keyboard dock - I've got a laptop.

Sorry if I've I missed out any other relevant contenders.

Anyway, I'm happy with my purchase, I use tablets for gaming and browsing so as card slot not a problem as I don't put music and videos on them.

The games are very fast.

I'll probably not be using the Flyer very much now (if at all) pity really because it was good before Honeycomb.

By the way, I'm still using Android on my Sensation XE so I'm not a complete traitor
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I considered picking up an ipad but apple's insistence to limit true freedom and app compatibility holds me back. Stupid things bother me with Ios, like no way to set default browser, terrible YouTube app, no purchases through nook or kindle app, reformatting every music file, no native flash, apps like dropbox are useless, etc. Ios products try to force you to consume more from apple every step of the way, which is crazy considering how much I would pay to get the device.

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JB1971:
I did have my doubts with the iPad (less freedom etc) but I'm enjoying using it and its a pleasant change.

Maybe I'll go back to an Android tablet in a couple of years when something more worthy is on the market.

As for my phone, sticking with Android :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kego:
Once the pen, you'll always look for that. Therefore the only best option is Samsung GN2 10,1 (N8000). But that's not 7" and indeed 10,1" and the res is 1280x800. Still far the best replacement.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I'll tell you what I'd highly recommend the Galaxy tab 2 7.0 to any flyer owner who didn't care about the pen but wasn't able to deal with the sacrifices on the nexus. It's a great tablet, it's fast, and has all the features, and Samsungs support has been awesome for it, not to mention cm10 development is well under way, and official jelly bean is due to drop any day for it.

The only thing you really loose with it is built in storage but it does have an sd slot.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Stil love mine flyer

So mine gf changed mobile operater and got Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 very cheap offer - so we decided to simply take it. Playing around with it onlly gain is it has ICS ower mine Flyer wich is stil on GB. I got to pick either to take SGT2 or keep Flyer. I am keeping mine flyer really :). Why? Since i really see no advantages onlly in OS and i do loose some on camera storage pen,.. But it is indeed nice tab and soon to get OTA JB.

Edit:

and no coment on BATTERY life - its awfully compared to Flyer on GB.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
Love still here too

I paid £200 gbp and from what I see there is still no competition at that price point, ICS would be great but what counts more is the pen, camera, sd card, build quality. Probably upgrade Christmas 2013, should be some good alternatives by then.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Well for me. I can live with a dated version of android, lag I could not. I know lots of people don't notice it but I'm ultra picky about it. GB wasn't laggy but the lack of tablet optimization killed it for me.

Also honeycomb is just in general a terrible stopping point, it's like an early ics beta.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
with holo launcher u really cant say what dif is in OS until u really go into settings. If i hide top bar on GB and low bar on ICS u cant tell diference. Mine flyer on gb and galaxy tab 2 7.0 on ics look both the same specially as i loaded all same software on it :) (habit i guess).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I can tell you the difference: Chrome. Nuff said. No jelly bean isn't so bad, you can use nova, apex or holo launcher hd to get the launcher,and ics can be sped up with custom kernals and xda has a Google now port that works pretty well, but honeycomb is just a dead end.

I didn't buy the flyer for pen support. I wanted something with nice specs and honeycomb or higher for under $300. I found this flyer refurbished for 200 and figured with Htc I'd get top notch support.

Honestly the ui navigation isn't bad, could be better but it's not bad. Gaming however is flat out terrible on the honeycomb, you don't believe me run shadow gun on gingerbread and then run it on honeycomb. Also Web browsing was mediocre to bad the whole time I had it regardless of honeycomb or gingerbread, which was just a pre ics android problem.

What is the big deal about the damn pen anyway? Get yourself a cheap capacitive stylus from amazon with your gtab2 or n7 and your good to go ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
But if you use it to take notes for school and such the pen with the flyer is more practical and indispensable as far as I am concerned.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Boat browser is as good as chrom for me.

Edit:

Oh and i forgot - u really cant hide bar on any other device since no hw key so other devices can not really go full screen mode. I enjoy/love full screen browsing, movies on mine flyer just awsome. Nuf said

And lets not forget the SOUND: Flyer > SGTAB2 > Nexus 7 I can tell Flyer is much better in sound from SGTAB2 since i owe both and acording to owner of SGTAB2 and nexus 7 SGTAB2 is better sound wise as well; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1669514

Sound really is good on flyer isnt it :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] minimonkey7:
Been thinking about getting a Nexus 7 as development has stop on the flyer. I have tried different Roms and have always found it a bit sluggish so i have just gone back to stock s-on and its loads better, so i am going to stick with this for a bit and see how it goes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Yeah I can't argue that. The flyer has stereo speakers, the nexus has one on the bottom. Honestly the design and hardware are great aside from the slick aluminum backplate. When watching videos laying in a recliner I dropped the flyer often.

Software is really what killed the thing for me. But the design was awesome and it felt solid. Also one of the only tablets to get the placement of the front camera right. The nexus is close but assumes you'd rather hold it portrait. The gtab2 is terrible being in the top right corner.

The flyer was a great little tab killed by corporate decision making and poor marketing, such a shame.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
Upon your recommendation I have been using Boat browser. So far I am liking it. I haven't experienced crashes as I have with chrome
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Glad it works for ya as welc:o

View vs. Note 10.1

I have the Samsung Note 10.1 and it is an outstanding tablet...very fast and the speakers are loud. It is easily the best tablet out there. But I still find myself reaching for the View for ebooks and quick notes. It fits easily in my purse. The 10.1 is just too big to tote around and the smaller Note phone is too small to really write on. If Sammy would release a 7 inch Note I would jump on it and sell everything else.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
I had a quick look and made the same judgement, I want the pen, Sammy have the pen on the phone and the 10 inch but not a 7 inch, bit weird so Flyer remains my pick.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Recruiter1:
I have to say that the Flyer for me is still the best bit of 7" hardware out there. It feels substantial and of very high quality, looks great, does everything any other tablet on the market does, and does it very well. Video quality is awesome, video games play quickly and look great. Shed loads of memory, great sound etc.... HTC did a fantastic job with this device absolutely no doubt.

HC isn't so bad apart from the lack of BT headset support on custom HC ROMs which still irks me although you can use the built in mics/speakers for calls but it's crap on the move however, it's better than GB IMHO because GB was so bad on battery power for me. HC is just fine for now although i can't tell you how tempted i am to go back to GB at times for the working Bluetooth headset feature but resisted so far.

There is still a lot of life and mileage left in this device and i still think there is nothing better on the market right now. Development shouldn't stop as there is so much more to be had from this. The problem is that as you try and raise the stakes in terms of O/S with a particular device the development gets a bit harder and harder until eventually there is nothing more that can be done, or to further develop takes a lot more hands-on skill/experience/knowledge than is currently available.

Equally and unfortunately, developers can fickle. Once the next latest and greatest toy comes out they get quickly bored with the old device, leave it as is, and move on to the next toy. That's a great shame but it happens a lot. :( I don't see myself changing my device for a very long time as it will take some serious beating, and i certainly wouldn't change every 3mths - 6mths either as much the manufacturers would love me to.

I just sincerely hope this isn't the end for the Flyer.

If someone manages to get BT headsets to work with phone function on either HC, ICS or JB i'll be there in a flash with a bunch of cash!! ;)

I'm fickle too and devs doubly so, but there is cash in my Paypal account for hardware video acceleration, thats the killer feature still missing for me on ICS/JB builds. 30 USD from me for a ROM that fulfills my needs with working cameras and hardware acceleration. Hell I'll even pay Drew Garen (if its his work).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dwars:
N7 is best one out there....Thinking of it...due lack of ICS/JB taste on FLYER...So sad
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Nexus has so ****y build in hardware besides tegra that its not even funny. Lacking on so manythings that its not even disapointing anymore and build quality as bad as it is u can put it in line with all those chiness devices really.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
My Nexus 7 has no issues, completely flawless. If people actually bought the flyer, you'd hear just as many complaints
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
well many isues really; no front camera, no stereo sound, no vibra; just this ones r so muc lack that fpr mr device is a joke already. I even wont go into No sd slot, no pen no hw keys, so lacking all this i wonder what it has at all.

With reports of bad screens and evebn worse - lifted screens on 1 edge, not enought? cracking screens with normal dailly usage no droping it...

Right...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
No hardware keys? That's a minus? If Google had their way nothing would have hardware keys! Hardware keys are stupid on tablets imo. It takes away from the touch screen experience.

What does it have? Pure android, no skins, timely updates, a gorgeous screen, cutting edge tegra 3 soc, too many fully working roms to keep track of. I was never happy with my flyer, and I love my nexus 7. And I bought it nearly 2 months ago, not a single issue, no screen lift, dead pixels, etc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
And i see it that HW keys ADD to touch screen. U simply touch them same as screen wich becomes now bigger and available for whats meant to be - displaying not taking space for buttons. So yes it has newer OS version but unfortunally lacks on hardware to use that OS. As for numbers of roms - having more - well really need THE ONE :)

As for great screen; there r many problems - last i found even physical cracking for no reason or better to say couse of lifted edges and Asus refuse to repair this.

N7 simply fails me to; play music i mean common MONO? Fails to play me movies since not enought space (i wouldnt want to reinstal apps and maps for navigations on and of and they do take sirius amount of space leaving no space for nrarlly anything alse), cant do skype calls, fails to notify me i have a call or msg discter way, fails me to cary around some biger amounts of data,... Flyer and SGT2 both can do this EASY.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
Can we just agree that everyone has different needs, uses and expectations in a tablet. Therefore if someone says that they like tablet X and have no issues with it we shouldn't try to convince them that they aren't satisfied with what they have. It becomes irritating (like apple vs. Android). I'm not talking about those who had or want tablet X and say how it doesn't work for them. But those that tell you that it doesn't work for me as well.

But to answer the question whether it's time for ME to get a new tablet, MY answer is no. Because for Me and My uses my tablet is running just fine on Dexter's JB (okay minus the Bluetooth - but with patience I have faith that this will be fixed). I mostly agree with the points about the shortcomings of the Nexus I definitely need a SD card and I believe the physical makeup of the flyer is unmatched but in no way am I saying that others can't be satisfied with it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Well no tablet has hardware keys now besides the Ipads one physical home button. Yeah I know the nexus isn't for everyone but I couldn't be happier

I see you're still hanging around the Flyer forums. BTW how's the newborn and the wife? And oh yea the roommate lol? Have you taken my advice to have him babysit (really make him earn his keep) while you take your wife out every once in awhile?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
He's doing great, almost 3 months old now! My roommate helps out when I need a nap after work or when we wanna go out to eat but if we need someone to watch him for a while, we have 2 sets of grand parents who were dying for a grand child that are almost always willing to watch him :) they've been great this weekend, getting the house appraised because I'm getting a home equity loan to consolidate some stuff.. Baby has killed my budget, and I got 2 hospital bills from his birth totalling 5k! So I've been working hard to get this house in perfect shape for the appraiser. Been rough but worth it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Explore3:
It looks like i will get a new tablet, almost a year after i purchased purchased the Flyer. The flyer will be going to a new home. It has been great. I actually use it far more often than my laptop.

I will purchase a Nexus 7 32gb with 3g capabilities. The 3g will be especially useful when i travel overseas. At $300, it will be over 50% more than what i paid for my reconditioned flyer. (That was a great buy!!!) However, given the amount of time i use the tablet, I have decided it is worth it.

I did hesitate due to the lack of a microsd slot. I have a 32gb microsd in my flyer. i am hoping that having 32gb internal plus the ability to use an usb flash drive will be a reasonable work around. (using an otg cable)

PS Upgrading from the 32gb version ($250) to the 3g 32gb version for $50 more is a great deal. The unlocked LG nexus 4 phone is also a great deal (16gb @ $350).

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaueious:
Voice and sound recording is very poor quality on my tf300 updated with JB..

Hertz shows that a lot of static noise is being recorded.

This is making Google now and voip suffer as well

Edit:

It turns out that the microphone gain on the speaker is very high. I am not sure if this is the way it was before the Jelly bean update, but you want to speak very softly to the device if you want Google Now to pick your voice up.

I found out that if I spoke slightly louder than nominal, my voice starts sounding distorted.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpeedNess:
I am also experiencing this problem. Google Now is useless when trying to use speech as input.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
My recording has always had a bit of a high pitch sound, but it doesn't affect my google now at all it works pretty well. Also the sound recorded works fine I can hear my self clearly with just a small background high pitch.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
Do you get better response from Google Voice with tilting the tablet towards you and speaking into the microphone hole on top? My first JB experience was the AOKP ROM, and it had this issue.

Running the Baked ROM now, and it's much improved.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaueious:
This was with the device on battery, not being charged I guess?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
I just tried it while charging and it was the same. It's probably that the mic is very cheap, it doesn't really block background interference. Or maybe its just my mic :D, anyways its always been the same before JB and after it. Haven't tried skype on JB yet though, but Google Now works fine.
