[Nexus 7 General] jaaybs:
I just bought a N7, and am loving every minute of it. The initial reviews scared me with so much going wrong such as the screen lift, GPS failure and other such reported bugs. I really haven't owned my tablet long (about a week or so) but I haven't experienced any of the complaints that were mentioned with the release. Everything works great on the device I got from office max. The main thing that all the complaints got me was a 2 year retail warranty, specifically because the manufacturer's has certain specifications for the glitches (is X number of dead pixels) for a replacement.

The 4.2 update is really all valid and mostly has to do with preference IMO. Hope this helped, because I definitely know the feeling after rummaging through this foum before buying.
[Nexus 7 General] AngeleDei:
I bought the original Nexus 7. I had a 16gb C80 variant. It was fine at first, but after a couple of weeks of light use (I was too scare to use it without a case), I got left hand screen lift. I took it back and got a refund. I was deciding what to do and then heard the rumours of the 32gb Nexus and thought about getting that. Then saw the 3g rumours and decided to get that.

I have heard that the latest "normal" Nexus's have improved in their build quality and that the problems of the early days are less and less. That said, I have not heard from anyone yet saying that the left side design flaw which is causing the lifted screen has been resolved. I "beleive" that they are still shipping units without the two screws on that side. It may be that is no longer the case, but I've not heard from anyone on here that it isnt. However, it seems screen lift etc is markedly reduced.

The 3g version has a re-designed rear. The microphones have been moved and there is now a sim card slot on the left side. I'm not sure if they have taken the time to address the screen lift design flaw, but my 3g has no problems currently with screen lift, bleeding, dead pixels, speaker etc. However, I've only had it a few days. I'm not about to open it up to see if its been fixed :) The 3g I have is a B0 serial number, so is a new model.

I was very uncertain about getting another Nexus and considered almost all the alternatives, but I'm glad I got it in the end. Currently its working great. Battery life is not the awesome figure I'm reading here of "2 days with normal use". I'm using it normally and I get a day out of it...mostly due to screen drain.

I have had mine for two months and so far I love it. My cousin bought one shortly after based on mine.
[Nexus 7 General] Miketoberfest:
I've got an original 16gb pre-order N7. It arrived flawless and to this day has stayed that way. I use it a couple hours a day, no case and i have no complaints. Zero screen lift, no light bleed, no gps issues, speaker output is loud and clear. I Couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 7 General] Flukester69:
Ya my 16gb N7 working fine since day 1. Never had any of the problems. Right now it's just the long wait for a custom ROM running 4.2 that sucks.
[Nexus 7 General] jonny68:
Have mine about 10 days (32GB) and it'll be replacing my laptop after i get an external HD to copy my music onto then laptop sold and just use the Nexus.:good:
[Nexus 7 General] snarlytaz:
32Gb WiFi only from Radio Shack. Some minor light bleed at top, 3 points - suspect screws are too tight. Flicker even without auto brightness on at low backlight levels persists on 4.2 even with strong WiFi signal - even with other custom kernels. Fix for all? Though hitting the battery - I just turn the brightness up a notch or two.

16Gb WiFi - flawless. No light bleed. Flicker very nominal, even yellow screen tint is very faint.

Newer Versions - not all issues are fixed yet. Go for replacement on the 32Gb? Haven't made up my mind yet. I suspect I will suffer the same issues with a replacement and not sure it's worth my time.
[Nexus 7 General] wr8_utd:
I'd picked up the 16gb one initially but that had a horrendous and completely washed out screen so took a refund and ordered a new one from another place and this one has been perfect. I love it and it's completely replaced my phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincethave:
Hi, i found my problem already described in a forum (can't remember wich one).

As i did some testing with the multi bar and deleted some icons from it, no lag experienced, but when i want to scoll through the page with "deleted" apps, i experience haevy lag.

Not that i realy bother, but when i want to put an app back in the multibar, it puts back the wrong one!! Olso i noticed that this only happens when im NOT on top of the page. As long as i did not scoll downwards i can put them back in the bar. It seems as if it picks the app that is on the spot when i did not scoll downward... any one else noticed this? Or can verifie this bug/issue??

I have seen a couple of reviews stating there is a 1-2 second shutter delay between shots. Is this actually the case? I know on the GNex it was instantaneous.

Thanks for any answers!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookitzjohnny:
its only 1-2 seconds between each shot is when the camera needs to refocus. from what i seen in videos atleast
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zander145:
There is a short delay for the camera to re focus. But if you press the capture button multiple times when the picture is taken you can take multiples.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
So basically it takes 1-2 seconds between shots because of focusing, but after you focus once you can rapidly press the button and it'll just shoot continuously?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcortes626:
ok so it seems like the application SysScope scans the phone and is what makes the device show as modified under Settings>About device>status> system status. it might also be the reason why the flash counter goes back up after using triangle away and rebooting.

so i decompiled secsettings apk. and sysscope if the one that scans the device to see if it is modified. i also decompiled sysscope.apk and in one of the smali files it shows it scans for this:

i dont know how to edit this stuff but maybe some one out there that know how to edit apps and can make this app to not show the system as modified. because of this i am unable to use my samsung allshare dongle with my galaxy s3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awesomedeals88:
How many people use their phone so much in 1 day that actually need an extended battery for the Note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrchris1234:
There were days I wanted one for my original Note. But the Note 2 has held up well. Even my days of heaviest use it's made it through so far with 10% to spare.

I'm not sure I'd want to carry a massive battery for this thing. But if someone came up with a back and battery that addded 500mah and was only say 2mm thicker overall and really didn't change the fit and style I'd probably go for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
I always wuss out if I get down to 30% and end up recharging. That might be 1 or 2 days a week. Usually hours of gaming is about the only thing that'll kill my battery in a day. But, I really couldnt see the need for an extended battery on this device for everyday use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
Before owning this fantastic phone I started to worry when the battery indicator showed 25-30% charge. Now I smile knowing that I have at least 5 hours heavy use or about 12 hours standby remaining. If you want it to last even longer but still get email updates and social media updates get Easy Data Pro from the market. Its very good. Apart from the ugly widget that is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
It's easy to kill the battery when at a theme park, vacation, etc.. because you're not sitting next to a charger all day. Many suggest an extra battery but if you're on an extended phone call or in the middle of movie/game how do you change the battery without turning the phone off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
I don't really think being at an amusement park has anything to do with it. We're going 24 hours between charges, why would proximity to an ac adapter change things?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Sorry, guess you stare at the ground while your in line or waiting for anything. I haven't seen anyone get 24 hours screen on time but if I'm waiting most of the day somewhere than my screen is gonna be on. If you're next to an AC adapter than you can easily charge your phone right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
The last time I was at Universal Studios we got the express pass. Zero wait, and we completed the entire Harry Potter experience by 930 am. Had very little phone use the entire day, as we got to enjoy the entire park three times over.

Seperately, not a single person has ever said they have reached 24 hours of screen time. I regularly get 6+ hours tho. What we are getting is 24+ hours between charges.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

Also, I would recommend an external battery. I personally use a new trent 5500mAh version. That way I can recharge the phone while on a call if ac power isnt available.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I have never been at an amusement park for 24 hours straight.

If you are on your phone 24 hours a day while on vacation, you're doing it wrong :rolleyes:

Btw, I got almost 7 1/2 hours screen on time with 25% left... that's more than enough for me. My screenshots are in the thread for battery life.

That being said, I would rather have an extra regular battery and keep the phone thin, than have a thick phone and try to find a good looking case for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] degeneration:
I'm actually curious about the extended side project for my classic romo. I want to run my romo and my gs2 on one of the 6500mah batteries for the note two. I hope they aren't crap, I'll probably get one after I get paid on the first, but won't be able to actually have anything to compare it to. I may drop it in my note just to see if it works with the bumper actually, but I have never needed to worry about battery charge. I have gone out on off nights with less than 30% battery life and been home hours later before getting a low battery warning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JosephL:
I'm new to the Note II, actually it's in the mail. I'm a heavy extended battery user on every device I usually own. As the note II is new, I spent a few days looking at power.

My guess is in most cases it should last at least all day even with heavy use. None of us are usually very far from our chargers or spare batteries.

What I did do, is order this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390499613512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'll try this one as a primary and keep the stock battery as a backup.

If it's really 3960 or 3100 who knows, but if it is 3960 then it should be more than enough for a full day of about anything.

I also looked at extended batteries requiring new backs. The thinnest one I could find, was 3-4mm at 6500 mah.

http://www.wirelessground.com/samsu...gclid=CKTgstTI5LMCFQY5nAodnRkAtQ#.UK9CTIbp5yN

It took a lot of reading on all this, got the Motorola 2 amp car charger and so on, but power was an issue I looked at close for the note II.

Power doesn't seem to be issue from everything I have read, but it makes sense to know what power options are out there and if you need a backup battery anyway, get one with 860 more Mah. if you can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Here's what I found. Looks like you're right, it's 3100.

How they get away with this is crazy, but at least people are catching it sooner than later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondercoolguy:
if you are looking for an extended battery I would be patient and wait for powerskin to announce or shoot down if they are gonna make a case for this phone. Those who don't know powerskin is exactly what it sounds like its a case with a battery built into it. They made one for the GS2(TMO) and GS3 with the wild popularity of Note2 and it being on all four carriers it should be a slam dunk. The best part is they don't add much gerth to the other phones...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
I ended up getting an 8500mAh battery off of eBay from this seller:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/8500mAh-Ext...-Samsung-N7100-Galaxy-Note-II-2-/170933592938

I've had it for several days now and am really happy with it. At first I was just going to use it as a backup for going on trips and such but now I think I will use it as my main battery. The back it comes with actually has a sort of faux metallic look to it and fits in really well with the phone. It doesn't look at all cheap like some of the other battery doors I looked at on the 6500 mAh ones.

I've had the phone running for nearly for days straight with some heavy use includs hours of calls and gaming until I finally needed to charge it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
Man, how much thicker/heavier does that make the phone? The main reason this phone isn't "too big" is because of its weight and how thin it is.

I got into the habit of using Mophie Juice packs on iPhones back in the day, and did extended batteries with large battery covers on my Nexus One and HTC Blunderbolt, but with most Androids I just pick up a spare battery and keep it in my wallet. They're thin enough to fit that way. With the newer Samsungs, a spare battery has been a waste of money; my Galaxy S3's spare is still in it's shrinkwrap months after purchase.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
It's probably about twice as thick in the biggest part and it is a bit heavier, but the battery door is curved and tapers over to the battery part so it's not twice as thick on the whole thing, just the battery part, but it also doesn't abruptly pop out a square, it's tapered. I think it looks decent and not boxy at all.

I was concerned myself before getting it but I don't really mind the extra bulk and weight considering how much more battery life I get out of it.

I don't think I've seen any other phone have an 8500 mAh battery and considering that I personally don't think it adds too much extra bulk. Of course that's a YMMV sort of thing.

I'll see if I can grab another phone and post a picture of it later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] degeneration:
I'm just curious how accurate the capacity is. I have become very dubious that these odd/no name batteries have the capacity they say they do. For almost a third of the price you can get the 6500s as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
I honestly can't speak to the accuracy of this 8500 mAh vs the 6500 ones being sold since I haven't tested the 6500 ones. I know it sounds trivial, but I do like the look of the 8500's door vs (the pictures) of the ones for the 6500 batteries.

Anyhow, here is a picture of the 8500 battery with the door on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
I see no need for any larger batteries. The stock one gives me well over a day. But to each their own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
Thanks for both of your replies. I agree, that's a fine looking case, and 8500 mAh battery is almost drool-worthy.

First, i apologize if there is already a thread regarding this, but everything ive came across searching on google/xda has come to no avail.

i just got the i777, plugged it into my computer and nothing happens. on my phone it says "mtd connected" and charges.

ive turned on usb debugging, installed samsung kies, installed the drivers, tried the "dial *#7248#(or whatever it is), ive tried 3 different usb cables, all the usb ports on my laptop (brand new alienware), and also 2 other laptops. nothing works

my computer also makes the sound that its been connected. if i go into device manager it shows as Other devices > 7 CDC's with the yellow exclamation mark

if someone .could PLEASE help me it would be much obliged, all i want to do is start flashing again :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Probably a bad usb connector on your phone. What rom are you currently on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chuckles_prs:

No soldering required. It's just a ribbon cable that connects to the main chip. Took me about an hour from start to finish, but i was being really careful.

Sent from my SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
He has said his computer recognizes the device, albeit it sees it as an unknown device. And it makes a sound when plugging it in. This tells me it's not a usb port problem but a driver problem. I have had this same problem. As I stated above. Even after installing kies it still didn't recognize it. I had to install the android sdk package, open the program and update, and then it still wouldn't recognize it. I had to download separate usb drivers for the phone as well. Who knows why, some computers or operating systems just have a harder time with the drivers. That's the problem in my opinion. Here's hoping it's not a usb port problem. Also this would prevent charging if it were a faulty usb port on the phone wouldn't it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
I wonder if the OP tried this on a computer with Windows XP. I've noticed Vista and 7 seem to have a hard time discovering/installing some usb devices. As for it not charging also..I think the pins inside the port are used separately for charging and connecting to pc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
My computer recognized my phone fine back when it was the Captivate, but it has a really hard time with my GS2. It often will say "invalid hardware id" or not show up at all. Usually it's fixed by swapping ports.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanndogg:
I received the Nexus 10 32gb on Friday and have noticed the following problem:

When I have WiFi on and my Bluetooth controller connected, the WiFi and Bluetooth signals will completely shut off and restart consistently within a 5-10 minute time frame. I have seen posts regarding WiFi problems and also general Android 4.2 Bluetooth problems, so I am not sure if this is related, or perhaps more insight into what is wrong with these units (or at least mine).

Has anyone else experienced this?

What I am doing specifically when this happens is this: WiFi is connected to 5ghz router signal, Bluetooth is turned on and paired to a Nyko Playpad controller (BTW, the paring is way more finicky than with my Note 10.1 which I am trying to replace with the Nexus). I then start playing a game with Mame4droid Reloaded or Nesoid and consistently within about 5 to 10 minutes, the controller will become unresponsive. If I go back to the home screen when this happens, I see the WiFi icon is now only an outline (no blue or grey signal bars in it), then the Bluetooth icon goes from blue to grey. Then, after a few seconds they both come back on and I have to re-connect my controller.

I haven't noticed the WiFi dropping in general use, and if I turn off WiFi and use the controller, it seems to not disconnect/drop out.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanndogg:
Update: Last night I watched a full 2hr NFL game streamed through NFL Game Rewind and at one point playback stopped. The WiFi indicator turned grey and I had no internet connectivity (couldn't even open any sites in Chrome). I turned off WiFi and when I turned it back on again, it just hung on "starting WiFi"- or whatever it says and there was no list of available connections, etc. I had to power down and restart to get it back up.

Then, I used the Nyko Bluetooth controller to navigate the menus and some apps to see if it would disconnect as it does when gaming. Same thing happened- both WiFi and Bluetooth connections cut off and restart...

I am obviously returning this unit, but I hope to see if the same thing happens to anyone else as far as WiFi/Bluetooth is concerned. No one else has used a Bluetooth controller effectively with their Nexus 10 yet?
