[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi217:
I am a grad student and school teacher. I bought a tab to replace my laptop because I didn't need everything the laptop could do. My wife has a desktop, so I use that for doing any heavy tasks. I use my n7 with a bluetooth keyboard when in grad class and as a notebook for recording nots and ideas when working g with students.

I originally had a 10 inch tab, but that was too big. Love the n7,and I do not feel like a need a laptop.

For what you said you'd use the tablet for I'd say yes but get the 32gb version cause you never know when you'd need the extra space
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
I bought my n7 to compliment my atom netbook for my university course. One Bluetooth keyboard and an otg cable and I haven't even turned my netbook on in over 3 months. Office apps are good enough for editing and some changes to PowerPoint presentations etc.

Half of the time now I don't even take a bag to Uni, my n7 in my pocket and I am good.

I have 3 computers at home (wife and kids use them) I find most of my browsing, YouTube etc. Is being done on the n7. My comps I use only for mmo gaming and large projects.

Tablet is nice but it will never replace a PC/laptop for me. If I'm home alone, I am still always on my desktop. I'd rather sit at my desk with a sound system to listen to Pandora than being alone on the couch with ear buds. There are still many times I need to use my PC because a page won't display correctly or is difficult to use.

While I love my N7, it's still for casual use. It will never replace a PC for me unless I have no choice.

For sitting on the couch or in bed, a tablet will probably be good enough you.

I've got a Nexus 7 to replace my Asus EEPC 701 as my travel partner .

My major task for my travel partner is look for a map , get some simple translation , upload picture from my DSLR to my facebook account .

And now , all these task are completed by my N7 . And it is always on , the battery even can survive a single of heavy usage !

But of course , I would still keep my EEEPC , since it is still a standard IBM PC , there are still lots of works that require a standard computer to complete . For example , briefing with VGA out , connect some uncommon hardware (e.g. 3G usb modem , printer with no network) .

one last thing i do alot also is use torrents, is that something that can be easily done on the N7. I saw utorrent just released a beta for android, so i assume that this is a task easily done now on the N7. Thanks guys i think i am going to go with the N7 as my go to mobile device. For only $250 you cant really beat it.

On another note, is anyone using the tablet UI, and if so what do you like better by chance?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btate0121:
Nutshell version:

In most situations laptops are orverkill. Web browsing, torrenting, music, gaming can all be done BETTER on the N7. You don't NEED a laptop for this. CREATING a lot of content then you'll NEED a laptop. The N7 can handle SOME of this but when you get into doing a lot of it it's clunky and you'll run into limitations.

TL-DR version:

An N7 is NOT a laptop replacement. If you're looking to replace an entire laptop, just buy a laptop. HOWEVER... if you realize you don't NEED a laptop.. the N7 is perfect.

Here's a little illustration to help:

I personaly have come to realize that I don't NEED a laptop. I have one.. but it never leaves my house. When I go out, I take my N7 instead. My needs on the go are different than my needs at home. I realize what I need (I say "need"... but who really "needs" luxury devices like laptops and tablets though) is a beefy and powerful desktop at home and some periphery computing accessories like a chromebook and a good tablet. If i want to do graphics, music or gaming.. I do it at home on the desktop. If i'm on the go, i'm not trying to do graphic editing or create music... i'm consuming content or gaming.. the Nexus is perfect for this. If i'm trying to create content on the go... it's not going to be heavy duty stuff.. it's most likely going to be document editing or coding.. the chromebook will do nicely.

I hope that illustration helps. Thats a real world use for the N7 as opposed to something unrealistic like trying to do all of your college work (i'm also in school.. the N7 can handle some things like documents, but it's DEFINITELY better to use a full computer/laptop) you're going to run into limitations you'll be forced to work around.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
It comes down to a decision about content consumption vs. content creation and which & when you do more of. Because of variability in what people do and how much they travel around, I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all answer. The need to use a single PC application that can't be substituted for with a tablet app can easily force the decision.

Three years ago I was down to two computers - a laptop and an android phone. When the laptop finally died, I switched to a deskside, even though I knew I would sorely miss it for one kind of multitasking: watching TV and web surfing simultaneously.

Why? Screen real estate! You simply can not be as productive (say as a programmer) when you need to refer to several things simultaneously (docs, code, deguggers, etc) on a single 15-17" diagonal screen. Multiple monitors are a game-changer when it comes to productivity. (Sure, you can use stacks of windows or multiple virtual desktops on a laptop, but switching back and forth between them is lost time).

Along the same vein, appreciate that Android style multitasking - a single activity on the whole screen - makes cut-n-paste operations or quick referral to info in a 2nd app clumsily slow. A tablet (Android or Apple) isn't productive for work that needs frequent use of that type of activity.

Same goes for using a finger for text entry - pathetically slow. If you must capture notes of any length ("content creation") on the tablet, use a physical keyboard.

Still, I missed surfing from the couch, and a 3-in android phone screen wasn't cutting it. Tried Google TV for a while, but sharing the same display just seems unnatural and is an irritation to a 2nd person watching the same TV screen.

So, now I still don't have a laptop - just the big iron for being productive (read: not in front of the TV!), and an entertainment/reading device that can be used anywhere - couch/bed/crapper.

In a way, that's good as it helps enforce a decent separation between work and play.

At this point, I miss the laptop only for situations that require both a full-up OS and portability. I don't need that for work; but if I did I probably would have all three.

If it came down to a matter of money, and I could only afford one, it would probably be the laptop that got the nod.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Sorry to post a thread but I need help ASAP and I know these forums aren't as lively as they have been in the past.

So I used my nandroid backup to downgrade to hc from CG rom and I'm stuck in a boot loop. Not sure what to do as I sold it on Ebay and supposed to ship tomorrow. Reinstall cg rom from recovery and try to download stock hc onto zip and then install that in recovery?

I can still get into recovery. Should I reinstall cg rom? Or factory reset? Or....?

I'm hoping I can reinstall cg rom and get it running and then I can download an hc rom, and then install that from recovery. But I don't want to do anything else for fear of messing something up more than it already is at the moment.

Help please

Wrong section, are you s off or Htc dev unlock?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Sorry. Just realized I posted in the flyer forums instead of view.

I'm s-off. Had been rooted for a while and was just running the stock hc.. Then installed cg rom. The nandroid was from stock hc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I would just flash another hc rom zip
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
CG ROM uses hc boot. My nandroid backup is hc. So I don't know why it didn't work. Should I just reinstall CG ROM from recovery?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Well, the problem is I only have the one rom on the sd card which is the rom I came from. It's technically hc boot though so maybe it'll be ok. I'll try that I guess.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Well, I reinstalled the ROM I had on before and it booted at least.

So now I have to download a stock HC rom and hope it boots. Thanks for the help.....and really sorry to clutter up the Flyer forums.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxlux:
My Desire was connected via a USB cable to my laptop and the battery was at 100%. The battery suddenly emptied and the unit was powered off itselfs. I reconnect USB cable and charging started. Then I noticed that the SD card is not mounted "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem error". It is interesting that the SD EXT worked without problems. After formating SD FAT partition SD worked like a charm. This happens to me a second time, first was with another rom so not suspecting that the rom caused the fault.

Does anyone know what could cause such errors.

Hey ive had my gs3 since release, but pass couple of days it has froze up , once while just letting it sit and when I went to pick up screen would not come on , it wouldnt even do anything when I plugged charger to it, so I did battery pull and it turned back on like normal, fast forward to today was on phone with wife and noticed the screen would light up but was still able to talk on it, so got off phone and did battery pull again, and powered back on, so does anyone know what could be causing it to do that? And its not rooted.

n00b here, so apologies always preface my post. Ditched Apple and have come to the dark side :D

So, I have a a rooted stock image of 4.0.4 ICS and am very eager for the upcoming official release of Jelly Bean. I've gotten mixed answers from reading past posts, so I have a few questions

- Am I even able to receive OTA updates on my rooted device?

- If I OTA update on my rooted device, will it wipe it to a clean install?

- After the OTA upgrade, will it remain rooted?

- How stable are the JB ROMS already out there? I only ask because I need the safest path possible to this upgrade. Cannot afford any mess ups.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
The only one of your questions I can answer is the stability of available ROMs. And I must say that most of the ROMs you can find in the development sections are extremely reliable. Flashing them is easy to do and will introduce you to a entirely new side of android.

Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runawayhacker:
I work in the IT field and consider myself fairly "well exposed" to tweaking/modding/hacking. I've done similar procedures on many other devices in the past, just not on devices I need to be stable. Let's say I flash a custom ROM. From then on, what are my options for upgrading in the future? I suppose it will have to be either un-root and flash stock or stay with the custom ROMs. In the end, (and this is where the community's opinion will help), I need to keep my device reliable, but would like to have the perks of a rooted device.

Thoughts?

P.S., Since you recommended custom ROMs, I'm assuming you have done this yourself. Did it wipe everything clean for you, or are you able to maintain your data through the upgrade?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
I believe if you want to upgrade to an official update from a custom ROM you must unroot and convert back to stock via Odin. But honestly, the custom ROMs you'll find are farther advanced than what your provider will provide you with via updates. Now that I am rooted and running a custom ROM, I have no desire to ever go stock again.

Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
If you are rooted on the stock "official" image (mrRobinsons method) you will get the OTA but it will break your root once you install it. If you want to keep Root, you need an app like Voodoo's OTA Root Keeper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper

cloutogu being

I downgraded my S3 from LALH1 to LALE8 using the method and root-injected stock roms in the No Tripping Flash Counter thread. Afterwards, I decided to go back to LALH1 by accepting the OTA update. Bad move as it ended up hard bricking my phone -- even recovery/download mode was inaccessible.

I'm not sure what was the cause of this and now I'm a bit paranoid with my S3. I flashed all sorts of custom roms on my old S without issue, so it's not like I'm a rookie. I'm still really not sure if it was related to being rooted, or some other issue. Maybe I should have done a factory reset after downgrading. Maybe my phone would have survived if I didn't skip installing CWM.

In any case, I think there's at least some risk with upgrading OTA from a rooted firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuc noob:
Since I purchased the Note II, I've noticed that the screen becomes unresponsive for about two seconds. This has occurred numerous times throughout the day. I went ahead and rooted and have tried various ROMs, but still get the same response. It is random. My question to other note users is, have you noticed this, or is it just a bad digitizer maybe? Thought I'd ask around before going thru the trouble of going back completely stock and back to the store. Otherwise, this phablet is just simply amazing. Gone are the connectivity issues I had on the EVO LTE. The screen is awesome, and its quick and fluid...until the screen lag occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
