[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MN_Bug:
A great example is Facebook. Look at FB on the iPad vs an Android tab. There are a few others that I can't think of but as Android tablets gain popularity (and they are), the market will push developers to develop for the 10 inch platform.

Also, they apps on the N10 really are not that bad.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cc2ee:
The Weather Channel and ESPN Scorecenter are great examples as well.

I don't require many apps for my tablet, but Android has horrible options when it comes to sports apps made for big screens. It is just awful. As far as weather you should try weather bug for tablets
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MN_Bug:
Yea, sports apps. I forgot about them since I stopped installing them on my tablet because they were so bad :o
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Agree with the others. The guy on The Verge hit it on the nose. Android tabs will be a bust until the app ecosystem is improved. The Facebook app is a great example of an app looking great on the iPad (even though I hate the layout) but looking/working like crap on Android. Hopefully this changes soon.

We have so many great Android developers but hardly any Android APP developers :/

Paper is major one for me.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GETCASHMONEY:
The thing I have heard is... If you mostly use Google apps they all look amazing. This perfectly describes me, so it won't be a problem. No need for weather apps when I have a widget and no need for sports when I got Google now cards updating me.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Hasn't Facebook already been described as poor for Android on all devices, never mind tablets.

In fact I seem to remember something about Facebook doing a complete refresh of the Android version only a few months ago. I expect this is due any day.

Now they throw ads in your face, I prefer my timeline widget (AP widgets) anyway. No ads get displayed. I hardly open the Facebook app.

Besides, opening the FB website via a browser (with desktop mode enabled) gives you far more control than the app on any other platform, including ipads.

Its not the paid apps that hold it back IMO.

Most people use the same sites. Just want tablet versions of eBay amazon Expedia Facebook twitter. We get these others will follow...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hot_spare:
Verge has no right to talk about app ecosystem when their own app is a messy ****. I don't care about reviews who scores while testing the device for just few hours. I think something seriously wrong with android app developers. They are lazy, unimaginative. Google has given very clear guidelines about app development. But most devs would just create a wonky iOS_like application. Google is too generous. They should clearly block such apps from getting to the play store. I will rather take a good 10,000 apps compared to pathetic 700,000 apps that we have now. when apps have the capability to scale properly as per the size/resolution, why don't they make proper use of it? if the app developers are lazy, they don't deserve anyone's money.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
I'm curious, why don't BIG COMPANIES make tablet apps for Android? I mean we're talking about FB, Twitter etc. You'd think at least the big apps would have droid tab apps by now.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hot_spare:
Good point. As for FB/Twitter, it's an interesting case. G+ is a competitor for both. Actually this should be even more incentive for the social networking giants to release a great app for Android platform. Obviously at certain point G+ will start gaining because of it's wonderful integration with Android. They should come up with proper native app for Android.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randomwalker:
OK, I only know FB from looking over my gf's shoulder from time to time, but what could an app have to offer on a 10" display that would make you choose it over the web page? In my view even on my N7 online community pages (including this one) are better viewed through a browser than the dedicated app.

One exception would be fast user switching support like in the twitter app.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenny.koomix:
A couple of things come to mind: multi-touch gestures (maybe web pages can offer this, but most don't), being able to access the app without being online, and -admittedly this is just out of habit though- I simply prefer opening and app to a webpage.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scared27:
iOS on iPad actually has some really nice features. The stock keyboard can be made into the split keyboard, you can close an app with a gesture (pinch with 5 fingers), switch between apps by swiping with 3 fingers (I believe) from the edge. Just feels very polished and cohesive.

I still prefer Android but iOS does do a lot of things that make it feels really nice.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
It's not lazy,

If you want to pay for my time to update our apps to support the 5% or so customers on tablets, I'm sure my company would be happy for you to do that.

At the moment, any time I suggest it, it gets shot down cause my time (and their money) is better spent on the other 95% if customers.

I would love for that to change, cause I hate crappy apps on my tablets, but these apps don't write themselves and somebody has to pay for it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cc2ee:
Maybe there's only 5% traffic from Android over iOS BECAUSE the app sucks and not the other way around?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanfarnaby:
iOS appears more polished because it's been exactly the same since it's initial release. The "updates" they roll out offer no real value, it's all "nice to haves" like 5 finger swipe for close..... I presume apple would now sue Google if they used this in Android.........

Or they will give you a feature that you should of had since day one, I.E MMS didn't come to iOS for ages, then when it finally arrived all the Apple users all got excited..........What's wrong with emailing images? It's free....... :\

Google actually realease beneficial changes in Android updates - NFC control where hardware avaliable, USB OTG drivers, better task management etc - They improve the OS behind the scenes and try to make it faster, smarter.

I find tablet apps are improving a lot on the Play Store now - Agreed there isn't much avaliable in the ways of sports apps. The Sky Sports News Center on iOS is way better than Sky Sports News on Android . Then again this is not Android/ Google's fault. It's way easier to submit an app for Android than it is iOS so it's the developers who are bottle necking the market here. Also - Facebook for Android is being re-based and taken away from HTML 5 (Which IIRC is actually prefered for Android - must be something to do with Facebook server side). So hopfully we will see a big change soon !

On the plus side - if you have the know how,. There's nothing stopping you getting the Android SDK writing your own app and installing on your tablet. Obviously on an Apple product this is not possible without a jail break , heaven forbid if you might want to use a piece of hardware that you own to run your own software! You can do this on Android - out the box, no root required (but you already knew that :) )

I used to have a Iphone 3Gs and now have a HTC ONE X and a Cube U30Gt (Nexus 10 coming) I would never go back to iOS. I have a very strong, but very biased opinion on the apple vs google front so I have probably been a bit unfair to Apple here......... Then again I have used both brands on many occasions so the end user experience is there.

I just dont like the idea of having to void the warrenty to be able to use a product to it's full potential - which with apple you have to do.

I think the question here should be.....What does Android have that Apple doesn't? - I could write a list as long as my arm
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Nah,

I'm talking about the actual number of tablets out there being around 5% of the total number of Android devices. In fact, it's probably closer to 10% now.

At the very least, I've been able to push through enhancements for the Nexus 7 because it's popular, ad with the Kindle Fire and Fire HD, more reason for them to put the time in.

I can't see the company I work for coming to me any time soon and saying, this Nexus 10 device is a killer, we need to start supporting it, the market just doesn't seem to be there for 10" Android devices, like it does for the cheaper, smaller Nexus 7.

Anything I write outside of work will of course support it, but that's on my time.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blown 89:
As a business investor I can comfortably say that kind of thinking holds companies back. Building portfolios often means taking in work that doesn't make money and writing it off as a long term investment. It's safe to say that Android tablets are a safe long term investment. When the time comes to supporting tablets like the Nexus your company is going to be behind. Hopefully app development catches up because Android tablet apps are horrible. It will happen soon.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
You'll hear no arguments from me, I totally agree with you.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
Tell your company to stop porting iOS apps directly over to Android, and maybe you might see some changes. I'm sure you know Holo scales up to tablets, so if you make the app look like it should on phones then it will look like it should on tablets.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
They don't port iOS apps, I write them from scratch, as do some of my colleagues, the point is, looking ok on tablets (which our apps do) is an entirely different story to being optimised for tablets. Our apps all look fine and get the job done on tablets, but taking advantage of the screen space and showing more at once is my bug bear.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTabJosh:
I haven't seen much of iOS, but I've looked online and I haven't seen any widgets. All I've seen is a Notification Center, which looks like a crappy dropdown of every "widget" you have. If that's the case, it sucks. I considered the iPad when I upgraded my last tablet, and not having widgets would be an instant deal-breaker. Right now I have five screens, most filled with widgets:

My home page -- weather, a memo pad (my todos), inbox (last five messages), Google Voice (last five calls & transcripts), and breaking news

A news page -- three News Republic widgets, with three different topics, and a News 360 widget

A tech page -- exactly the same as above, but all tech, with Appy Geek instead of NR

Entertainment & YouTube -- Facebook, Google+, and Youtube

One under construction -- Ebay and Pulse News, with different sources

Why so many widgets? Why not access everything from inside the apps? Same reason we prefer apps to doing everything on the web: speed, convenience, and the info we want without having to go look for it. Flipping through the widget cards is instantaneous, and if I want to search in more detail I go in the app. Most useful, of course, is seeing my emails, voicemails, and todos all at one glance.

I'm wasting my breath, right? I'm sure someone will tell me what an idiot I am for thinking the iconic iPad doesn't have widgets...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brac20:
Since the N7 there have been more and more apps giving a 7 inch tab layout. Hopefully we will see this with the N10 as well.

Facebook are working on a new app that isn't HTML5 based. Hopefully this will have different layouts depending on the screen size.

Amazon don't seem like they will release an Android tab app, I guess so they can keep it for the Fire.

For me it's not a big issue but I can see it being a very annoying situation for some. I'm really hoping the N10 can breath life into the 10-inch Android app selection.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James-NC:
Just found this write up that shows a comparison of android tablet apps verses ipad apps.Pretty much makes the case for Apple being far ahead of Google in the app department.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTabJosh:
"Of course, there are entire categories of apps found on Android tablets but not on the iPad... Widgets."

You have got to be kidding me. Why no widgets? Zero? Let me guess -- Apple doesn't

allow

them. What does the iPad have to compensate for this crippling deficiency? According to the article:

CBS News -- Hmm. I use the NBC News app. I like it. It does force portrait mode, though, and it doesn't have the best possible presentation. Point made, I suppose.

CollegeHumor. He's really using this as an example, a tablet staple? Really?? I have

never

heard of this. So it's great on the iPad. So what.

CNN News. Well, he actually likes the Android version.

ESPN ScoreCenter. All Android sports apps suck. It's a major weakness, and I don't know why.

Ebay. The iPad version is definitely prettier. Does it offer anything more useful? I can't tell. This app is a tool. Prettier would be better... somewhat.

Facebook. Android Facebook is a turd. It seems, though, that the version I use is different from -- and better than -- the example shown. Anyone else get that impression? Maybe they baked the turd a little.

TBS. "The #9 national TV network according to Nielsen". I've heard enough. Next.

Twitter. Not a big difference, as the author admits. I don't Twit anyway. Obviously I need more than 140 characters. Come on, really -- isn't the average word eight characters? Add spaces and you have 15 words to say something intelligent. My guess is that most posts fail.

Vevo. "Vevo is the second-biggest online video site after YouTube". Really? I didn't know that. Huh. I don't think I've ever heard of them. By the way, anyone know the #2 PC software maker after Microsoft? Anyone?

Wikipedia. Absent from the iPad, crap on Android. A wash, I guess.

Anyway, the point is,a lot of Android apps look like little phone apps in a vast tablet expanse. True. But in almost every category, there is a great Android tablet app. Compare each app on the iPad to the Android version, and Android comes up far short. But if the CNN News Android app is so great, for example, do we really need to compare CBS News versions? Other than sports, I've found great Android apps in every major category. Now that the tablet market is no longer dominated by Apple, I expect the Android tablet apps to improve.
[General Questions and Answers] warhascome:
I have tried going to FB on a 10" and 7" android tablet, and both times, it is seen as a mobile device instead of a normal web browsing computer. I know it is not a normal computer, but is there a way to make the web see a tablet as a normal computer?

Thanks in advance for any information.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4z01235:
Nexus 7: 1.2GHz quad core, A9 based

Nexus 10: 1.7GHz dual core, A15 based

It's probably quite difficult to find a use case on a tablet where more than two cores provides any tangible performance increase, but the much higher clock rate and newer architecture should definitely make a difference.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxdroidxxx:
Benchmarks shows that the new dual core is much faster than the n7 quad. Also the 2gb of ram
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valynor:
I suspect it's mostly because "Plp" don't understand how 2 cores can be faster than 4 cores.

Yes, they can and yes, they are. ARM15 CPUs have a new and vastly superior architecture.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biohazard0289:
It's top notch. Although core counts are great for marketing, don't get to worried. After people get their hands on it, we will have a better idea of performance. I remain confident I'm about to purchase the most powerful tablet available.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Technically that's not true, the latest iPad, I believe, vastly out performs this thing. That said, how is it gonna make use of all that power other than playing games, which let's face it, that's all iPad buyers do really...

Not like it'll be cracking aircrack dumps eh. :P
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I saw a benchmark that placed the nexus 10 under the transformer TF300 (antutu). Would this be accurate? I would've thought that the nexus10 would've outperformed the transformer which has a quad core tegra 3 processor.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxey:
Saw that too, as well benchmarks in which the note 10.1 is having a better performance than the Nexus 10

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-10-review/

Funnily other sites really do say the Nexus 10 is the fastest they have seen so far.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
4 * 1.2 GHz = 4.8 GHz

2 * 1.7 GHz = 3.4 GHz

Clearly, the Nexus 7 is much faster.

That is the discussion level when people come to the conclusion stated in the topic. Even in benchmarks - which all of the reviewers agree don't mirror the level of performance they experience in real world use - the Nexus 10 comes out way higher than the Nexus 7 while pushing 4 times the pixels! The Nexus 10 runs circles around its little brother...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steddora:
The differences are so vast, it is almost incomprehensible to some. I'll use my same reference as I do with desktop processors. When quad cores really started coming around and making big appearances; software and games weren't exactly capable of utilizing the abilities. So, an e8400 3.0GHz dual core would out perform it's bigger quad core brother that ran at the same frequency and architecture in a lot of applications. Back in 2008, gaming rigs almost always would sport the dual core processors. Simple fact is that those processors use cache that is on the die. 6mb for two cores is better than 8mb for four cores.

So, until software developers really have a need for a quad core, the dual cores will run with the quad cores just fine. Benchmarking however, almost never show any real world performance. I'm sure this dual core is going to surprise even the more skeptical guys and gals.

The benchmarks are selling the N10 very, very short. There is a great review linked in this post where the author says exactly that.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3473:
Where are the idiots that keep saying this? Honestly, I'm growing tired

Think about it, do you really think the quad core in your tablet is faster than say, a dual core core i5 in a laptop?

NO

Maybe this explains to you how a new processor architecture (A15), even at a dual core, can be faster than a quad core on the old architecture

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Kay1996:
This thread was opened to let all the noobs who have rooted their phone recently about the must have apps after rooting.

If you have rooted your phone, then I think you must give them a whirl..

1.Titanium backup

Its a backup tool for backing up your latest apps. If u would like to flash other roms then this a handy tool. You even have the optionto save yourbackups on the cloud like dropbox.

2.Superuser

Although this might have come pre installedas soon as u rooted but if it didn't then get it either from playstoreor any other source.

3.ROM Manager

You can manage UR Rom from here. You can even use this to partition UR SD card but.only Upto 256Mb.

4.ROM Toolbox Pro

Another alternative to Rom Manager but I think this is better. It's a combination of 25 different apps merged into one. You can change UR bootanimations, UR fonts, overclock UR Rom ,edit the build.prop file etc.

It even has a root.browser installed in it.

5.Root Explorer ( Root Browser is also good.)

Its basically a file.manager kind of thing where u can browse the.contents.of.UR.phone And create or delete folders files etc.

6.SetCPU( or any other overclocking tools)

This is.also.a great app if u want to overclock UR phone from the standard speed to another.

There are many other apps that I can share but I m ending this thread with these only.
