Most people here will say yes, seeing as it's the Nexus forum. Read/watch your own reviews and make up your own mind.

I would also say "yes", however. It's a great little device.

I had an iPad 3. I love the size of the Nexus 7. The screen is not as bright and vivid, but I still ended up selling my iPad and keeping the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtlasShrug:
I figured I'd get mostly positive opinions, after watching / reading all the reviews I figured I'd try to solicit some good honest user generated feedback. Sometimes you read the reviews and its hard to tell if they have an agenda associated with them. Thanks for the feedback!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandnap:
I just sold my TouchPad which was running a solid version of CM9 and gave my wife my Nook Color which is running CM10 in favor of my Nexus 7. After a year with a 10" tablet and a couple of years with the Nook Color I determined that the 7" form factor works best for me. I prefer the build quality of the Nook Color over the Nexus but I like the size of the Nexus and of course the updated hardware specifications better than the Nook. I haven't put my Nexus down long enough to establish the battery life under normal conditions (I have only had it for 10 days) but it seems reasonable. The first few nights it drained more than I wanted with the screen off but after turning off sync on various applications, the GPS (when I am not using it), and setting the WIFI to sleep when the screen is off it holds it's charge pretty well.

I had my N7 since July and it took me a few days to like the smaller size but now I love it. There is only one App on my Apple that I want that isn't on Android but it is a game and not a big deal.

For $250 you can get 32GB N7 or for $299 32GB w/ cell modem that are all cheaper than any iPad. N7 has a lot of specs better than the new iPad Mini that would cost $559 to match the same features as the $299 N7.

Thank you guys for your input I def appreciate it. I'm by no means fluent at all things android but I do love to have a rooted device. I rooted my S3, is its similar or more difficult to gain root access and would you say there are a decent amount of Roms to choose from?? Thanks again

[Streak 5 General] hackmysack:
Hi guys first off Awesome rom... anyway

Dell streak 5 (o2) unlocked Rooted ect

Running Longhorn 2.9.3

Decided to change the Dpi so went to the build.prop and changed to 120... broke (sticks on Dell logo)

(restored wiped ect to fix)

Then tried changing it to 140 ... same thing as i type this im restoring my streak,

changed my DPI a few times with stock rom only since getting the new rom have i had this problem, any suggestions on how to change my dpi without causing such problems

*also sorry this isnt in the right place i dont have permissions*
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Unless mistaken, Longhorn uses HDPI screen resolutions, thus anything below 160 isn't going to work.
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
longhorn supports both hdpi (240) and mdpi (160)...

and... i tried to set below 160 say 140.. it works too..

120.. yup.. works for me too ...

though anything below that would crash the launcher and status bar...

p/s: longhorn 2.9.3
[Streak 5 General] hackmysack:
Thanks for the help...

really ? hmmm stock launcher ? as mentioned those are the 2 i used and i used holo launcher before and 140/120 worked so i have no idea whats causing it to F-up...

well for now i just wont try again till i figure out why, any suggestions would be helpful

After ordering my n10 at 8.30 yesterday my wallet still hadn't been updated by Google. Quick call and 5 mins later i get shipment details. Great

Called again and its going to be escalated. Bummmms

Anyone else for issues?

I can't wait for mine either but i can't help but think that they could have predicted huge demand for either there nexus 4 and 10 with the huge spec and low cost....

I'll be upset if my order is delayed because of them... its Google one of the biggest company's in the world. This should be child's play for them

ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!!

Ordered in the UK as soon as it was available. Took half an hour as the site was throwing error after error due to the number of people trying to buy Nexus products.

In the end I got TWO orders and I only had one successful order on-screen :(

Was told they couldn't cancel either. Multiple phone calls and escalations later and one has been cancelled, but the other is just in state "pre-ordered" and none of the staff know what that order status even means! They've had to escallate the issue.

No tracking. No payment taken. Yet it is supposed to arrive by tomorrow.

Dreadful experience from the Google Play store. Absolute shambles.

Just called them again. Now claiming it is two days for them to sort out shipping, then two days to ship! So four days total!!!!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxdroidxxx:
Just called them. The guy I spoke to says that my order is being process. He say that it takes up to 2 days to process the order and that it should be shipped by tomorrow.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyrosto:
Kinda feels like you're being jipped, paying 14 bucks for 2-day shipping, but having to wait for 2 days to have them "process" it.

Nexus 10 order received, put in box, pack with peanuts, close box, label box, put box on truck. Its not rocket science.

I ordered just after 8am in UK, some people who ordered at kid day have had tracking numbers already.

Over 36 hours later and my order still says pending, and I called up to be told it'll ship by early next week.

Why on earth am I paying £10 for them to take a week to ship me something?

Sometimes I wish my parents gifted me with patience.

Maybe, but it is pretty common for there to be a wait time at an online store. I think most places I use take a few days to ship it. It sucks but there is no better way to order I for me anyway. I paid $17 for 3-5 days so it could be worse.

I ordered nexus 7 on a Friday, got shipped on Tuesday, and I got it the following Friday.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcb4:
No no no no, it's two day shipping, they just sit and stare at your order for the first 36 hours of processing so it takes 4ish days. I sure hope they are really exaggerating my expected shipping date of the 16th. I don't want to have to wait a whole week for shipping I paid that much for.

I have an Asus Transformer Prime that I am having all kinds of trouble with. Its basically stuck at the ASUS splash screen so I was trying to get TWRP on there via fastboot with no luck. I have tried a few different methods, including running the batch file that puts the .blob on there as well as running "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img" - this method says it finishes and there is a solid blue bar on the prime but when i take the microSD card out and put it in my computer it is blank and the prime boots into the clockworkMod Recovery which is unable to find any files on the microSD card so i cant install a ROM that way, so here are my questions:

1. can you install twrp directly onto the microSD card from a Windows 7 machine then put it in the Prime?

2. what format does the microSD card need to be, might try to reformat it and start over?

3. any other suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plumcakk:
Would it be possible to install OTA updates if I choose to root the phone?

From what I've read, this is definitely impossible if I flash custom recovery.

But what if I leave stock recovery? Do I just need to reroot after the OTA, or is there another method to update?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aberrati0n:
On my Galaxy Nexus, I get around that by just booting Clockwork Recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img instead of fastboot flash recovery recovery.img). Then I flash the OTA, re-flash su and I'm good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
If you are rooted with no custom recovery, your phone will still accept the OTA. When you install the OTA, you lose root. You can use something like OTA Rootkeeper to keep root, or reroot after the fact.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234568:
I am new to nexus devices... how often do they release OTA updates?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
If you have a custom recovery like "ClockworkMod, Twrp etc" then you can't get OTA's.. some say if you have Superuser you can't get OTA's either..

You would need to install a stock recovery and download the OTA file and flash it..

OTA updates don't happen that often.. when the phone first release you might see a couple to address certain issues.. or if the AOSP code changes you'll see a update..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
On the Galaxy Nexus, you can update via OTA while rooted. Everything else must be stock. The update will usually break your root, but it's pretty simple enough to re-root on Nexi.

They send out OTAs whenever they update Android versions. For the GNex, I think I got 4 version updates since I bought it last June (4.0.4 -> 4.1 -> 4.1.1 -> 4.1.2 -> 4.2)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
If you have exDialer, you'll notice that it's always locked in memory.

Even if you go to task manager, and clear RAM, it remains locked in memory.

The advantage is obvious, it always loads instantly

Same thing with other apps. For example if you are playing songs in Tune in Radio, it locks itself in memory.

This makes it almost impossible to kill themselves by itself.

Now my question is

1) Is it possible to code an app in a way where it's always locked in memory, by the developer?

I don't have the slightest idea about Android app development, but I believe it is.

How would otherwise ex dialer always lock itself lock itself in memory.

Now, two of the major annoyances in S3 are:

1) Lag in Contacts/Dialer

2) Launcher redraw

I believe it's possible to avoid both the issues by locking the respective apps in Memory.

Simply because exDialer solves the issue by locking itself into memory.

They won't even take much memory.

70-80MB combined .

(Around 50 MB for Launcher, and 30 for Dialer + Contacts).

Considering these are the basic things in a phone , this is hardly a trade off.

But we know that Samsung made a mess of the Dialer and Contacts.

And even the third party Launchers have redraws problem.

2) Why can't 3rd party launchers like Nova and Apex , lock themselves in memory in a way exDialer has done?

Is it a system restriction or it's very hard to code?

I would like to get some insight on them :)
