N7 Wifi is fine with me. Got my phone for everything else. N7 3g seems like a waste, in roughly 8 months time u could buy another n7 with all the money u spend on 3g

Who's to say you would need a Contract? The Galaxy Nexus is available through GooglePlay (at a much lower cost that all cell-phone carriers retail price) with out a contract..

Pretty sure if Google releases a 3G version they will sell it off contract (unlocked). And Tablet price will probably jump $75 - $100 (Attennas are expensive, and comparing other products at cost with WiFi Only vs 3G+WiFi.

And T-mobile (US) just released there Unlimited Data plans for $20. And with the small (but comfortable) size of the Nexus 7.. I could see this replacing my Cell Phone (Galaxy Nexus) since I always use a Jawbone (bluetooth) to talk on and the phone stays in my pocket/car/desk/etc.

I will certainly be placing an Order when these hit the Play Store
[Nexus 7 General] Messinator:
I use my Nexus 7 as a phone to call and text when I am under a WiFi connection. Data plans are too expensive and I don't want to be locked under Verizon.
[Nexus 7 General] Oukiva:
Maybe it works like that in USA, but in most Asian countries you don't need any contract for using such a tablet in 3G. Just buy a SIM card (about $3) and buy the data plan you need. You can get some volume-plans like 20 Go for $10 or "unlimited" for $20. To use your tablet as a GPS for your car you just need a low-volume plan. So I really think that many people will be interested by this 3G Nexus 7 :good:
[Nexus 7 General] vcbacon@hotmail.com:
Not really when you consider the7 inch form factor.

The Nexus 7 is pretty easy to hold and a rear facing camera would be a great addition, especially if it were centered.
[Nexus 7 General] 3vo kid:
I think a camera would be overkill lol. How many mega pixels do u think it would have?

[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Really ? I spend £10 month for 200 mins 100 texts, unlimited data and unlimited landline calls, with tethering included and I'm very happy with that.

I'm due an upgrade which would mean a new 18 month contract which isn't anywhere as good as the one I'm on and doesn't include tethering.

Or I could drop this SIM with this contract into a 3G N7 and reap the rewards.

Selling my wi-fi N7 wouldn't be a clever option because Google will have trashed the s/h

market with this new 3G device, there will be a glut of s/h wi-fi only devices on the market.

I expect an 8GB used N7 will sell for about £120 and a 16GB for about £150 tops, less fees,

and then you have to explain the screen lift issue with 'they all do that'

I'd rather give my current wi-fi N7 to my wife.

I suspect that's what Google have planned all along to broaden the N7s market penetration.
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
I've got to say, I'd be tempted if the price was right. Which also led me to buying a bb play book when the 64gb model came down to 129gbp here in the UK. However, as I am currently tethering through my HTC desire(!) and unlimited data plan, I realise that I don't really need a 3g version. I am using tethering for general data, surfing and so forth, and not streaming hd movies or anything ridiculous like that. I think it works pretty well like that as it is just the same as I'd use my phone: the network is happy as nothing has changed; I am happy as am using my lovely N7 (and playbook, which is lovely for other reasons); and, my phone is happy as while its battery is being used, it is much more efficient than when the screen is on! :p

Then again, a 4G n7? That might change things! :D
[Nexus 7 General] boldav50:
carry and data

I carry my Nexus 7 in my cargo pockets btw with no trouble, but I'm restricted to Wifi so I would definitely appreciate a non contract data plan like Apple has for their ipad. If one of the local carriers like AT&T makes a monthly no commitment plan available for my N7 then I'll give my older tablet to my wife who has an iPhone and get the new version for myself. Generally I don't need a plan since I work form home, but it would be nice to have when I travel.

3G is lame... Why wouldn't they go with 4G? That would be slightly more enticing tho I'm fine tethering to my phone.
[Nexus 7 General] jamesst20:
A tablet with good specs like this wont have 4G ? Wondering why :(
[Nexus 7 General] androidkid311:
Dated specs but the galaxy nexus is still one of the best phones out now even with the quad core phones. Regarding the topic I heard about this last night I was excited but as people have mentioned who wants another contract to be tied down to and the rise in price as well. This is just to compete with the iPad mini and I don't think it will really make a difference lol.
[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
Never has there been a nexus model that could ONLY be purchased through contract. Sure there was the sprint nexus s and Verizon galaxy nexus. But there was always an off contract T-Mobile or AT&T version. So I don't know why you guys keep pulling this contact only stuff out of your asses. I bet this 3g nexus7 will be gsm capable hence no contract data plan from T-Mobile. Unlimited for $30 a month.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Well if its gsm, here in the States T-Mobile can get as high as 15mbps but usually around 5mbps. Which is ample enough through put t get things done. Might be even quicker across the pond

Its Google, so it will probably be $300 for the 8GB and $350 for the 16GB. Would be nice if they release a 32GB.
[Nexus 7 General] 3vo kid:
If a 3g n7 comes out and it has a micro sd card slot or more memory like 32gb then I might be more willing to purchase it lol. The more memory the merrier :D

i don't understand this. what's the point of adding a 3MP or 5MP camera onto the N7? would you really use it to take pics? i prefer my cell phone's superior camera, but that's just me...
[Nexus 7 General] robertsmith1873:
Hi Chaps, I read this post with great interest.

I was all set to get myself a N7 when I found out the 3G version may be out soon.

I will wait as the cost of it will determine if I buy of not.

It is a compromise to tether and a pain in the ar&e charging 2 units using hot spot and wifi all the time. (I wonder how long my sensation will run with all data sync and screen off, just phone and hot spot. Mmmm).

Extra memory will not be a prob as I will Root the N7 and use the 32GB class 10 memory in my phone.

Data plans in UK are about £15 for unlimited data and some calls (N7) £10 for loads of calls and small data (phone) so what? £25 p/m all in.
[Nexus 7 General] BillSplate:
I really hope that a 3G version of the 16GB version is coming out. I'm thinking about buying the Nexus 7, but in the train that I'm using there's no free wifi connection. With my SII I've 1GB internet per month. So I cannot tether every day. On my BlackBerry 9780 from work I've got 4GB per month and then I could put the simcard in the Nexus 7 3G version. If it also got the option to call with it like a Galaxy Tab 2 7" version then I'd be very happy. Of course I'd call with a Bluetooth earpiece or with the headphone. I'm not going to put a Nexus to my head to call, that looks freaking weird. So hopefully in the coming weeks we'll here more about a 3G version. If it isn't coming, then I'll probably buy an Nexus 7. Hopefully Bluetooth tethering would work with my BlackBerry 9780 or else I've to use the USB cable. I've heard that's also an option to tether (stupid BlackBerry's...).
[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
Yes. If the tablet is in my hand or the closest to me and I need to take a pic I would use it. How hard of a concept is that for people to grasp? I'm tired of these fanbois trying to justify the lack of camera by saying you would look stupid anyway. YOU may look stupid, but like a previous guy said, I would look stunning!
[Nexus 7 General] androidkid311:
I have to admit...he's right. A rear camera isn't a dumb thing at all. Was using a friends iPad on the train and saw a guy with two different trainers on loool! IPad in my hand...bang! Pic taken without taking out my phone..just convenience I suppose but its not a stupid look.
[Nexus 7 General] odoto:
they could have mentioned that before I bought my n7 ^^

but lets wait for prices... and how much I will be annoyed by not having 3g/using tethering :P
[Nexus 7 General] 3vo kid:
Might not be stupid, but perhaps not as practical as some might think. I've never really seen a tablet with a camera that even rivals my phone. It's not worth it to put a low spec'd camera on a device that 1) does not have an led flash, and 2) although not significant it would Deff raise the price of the device. And the device's main selling point is how affordable it is

6 weeks yeah right.... wheres the pogo pin dock that was supposed to be released 2 weeks ago.

i'd probably by a 3g n7 if i could get a non contract data plan that could handle 5 hours of pandora a day for under $30 a month and permanently mount the 3g n7 in the car.

then i woke up... i'm lucky if i get a few days of pandora for $30 a month with the current rates here. i hit my 5gb soft cap on T-mobile almost every month at $80 a month
[Nexus 7 General] Warrior1975:
I just bought this today, so I can still return it and wait. However I'm not sure I'd want to waste $30 per month, my girl would probably kill me. Maybe a prepaid type deal would work?
[Nexus 7 General] bipoler:
Who needs a 3G tablet....when my GS3 has 4G and tether? I already own a 4G Nexus 7 why regress.......
[Nexus 7 General] drewd:
That is my feeling, too, but I can understand the idea of packing as little hardware as possible. Nothing wrong with two different approaches to the same solution.
[Nexus 7 General] Phugz:
Hmm, reading everyone's comments bout 3g plans, for once it might be a good thing living in Singapore.

An additional sim costs bout 10sgd which is bout 7usd? Tagged to a 12gb/unlimited data plan per month which is the standard here, not too bad. Just hope the price jump isn't too drastic.

With the way the N7 runs, I'm looking forward to the big G coming out with a full-featured 10 inch tablet. Wouldn't mind going all "shut up and take my money" on that..
[Nexus 7 General] Troute:
In the UK you can buy a ZTE MF60 for £65, it's basically a wifi-3g router which turns a standard wifi N7 into a 3g one. I bought one some time ago to work with my Touchpad and it works just as well with the N7, great battery life and guaranteed an N7/MF60 combo will be a lot cheaper than a 3g N7.
[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:

It's a free world, or so they tell us, the MF60 is small and light enough not to be a burden alongside the otg cable, usb stick, stylus etc. that I also carry.
[Nexus 7 General] 3vo kid:
A prepaid plan, or month to month basis would be more practical. Something along the lines of a contract is not worth it Imo. The Kindle fire hd 4g plan is thru at&t. I wonder if it would only be on 1 carrier or across all of them? But I'm perfectly happy with my wi-fi and tethering on my phone

There are some custom rom for DHD include beats.

I don't know why DHD can use Beats.

Doesnt HTC one series have special hardware tip for beats?

Is beats just an software equalizer ?

HTC one series' beats is worthless if so.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Yes beats is just software equalizer. I really don't see the hype but people are obsessed with it right now. You could literally get the same sound by setting eq levels yourself. The app volume + has an eq setting for beats in it and I have used that side by side with beats and it is the same.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrews317:
I've always asked the same question to myself. I believe it is some kind of software equalizer, but you will notice it better with the corresponding hardware (those famous expensive Beats headsets). I'm not to much into music listening so I can't tell the difference.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
That's actually been proven false and I think HTC and dre have gotten some heat for it. Any good headphones will work. They don't have to be beats headphones.

Ok the earphones/ headphones are just to expensive. But you are talking about Beats Audio. I've tried...and there is no equalizer like Beats. I've tried with an eqaulizer. I suggest trying it yourself...you WILL...notice the difference in the music in-ear headphones only.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I have tried beats audio and headphones on my friends rezound phone. I then tried the beats setting in volume + with my headphones on my inspire. Sorry but mine sounded better. I wanted beats to be cool because I thought it was a neat idea but it turns out its just a bunch of bull. If you can find a program that will set your eq settings at the same levels then you will get the exact same effect. The reason mine sounded better is because my headphones are better than beats headphones. So the end result, good headphones equals good sound. Eq levels are just that.

That's what I meant, beats audio with better headphones not the crappy beats headphones.

Does anyone know how to change the carrier name in the notification drop down?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Check in the framework - res.apk file...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
Here's how (should work on any TW ROM)

-Decompile SystemUI.apk (make sure you install resources from framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk before decompiling)

-Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder and go to /res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml

-Look for

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel>

-Delete that text and replace it with

<TextView

-Now in that same line, right after this

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

Add this

android:text="@string/custom_carrier"

-Save and close that xml

-Next go to /res/values/strings.xml

-Go to the very bottom of the xml and add this right above </resources>

<string name="custom_carrier">ADD_YOUR_CUSTOM_TEXT_HERE</string>

-Save and close that xml

-apktool doesn't add the META-INF folder so you can click and drag the original META-INF into the apk, I'd also add back that original AndroidManifest.xml from the original SystemUI.apk

-Next you can make a flashable zip for your new apk and flash in recovery

Alternatively you can try this:

-decompile your framework-res.apk

-navigate to /res/xml/eri.xml

-search for "Sprint" and replace any instances with your custom text

-save the xml, recompile and make a flashable zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Humzaman:
