[Nexus 7 General] GumarGamer:
hi guys!!! :)

I was wondering if is better to buy the nexus 7 in the month of March 2013 or wait for the next releases of 2013? (sorry for my English)
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Entirely up to you how you spend your money. If there's another device you're looking forward to.. I don't know, wait? Entirely up to you.
[Nexus 7 General] gothickah0:
there's a rumour saying google and asus will release nexus 7 with more higher resolution screen this year probably in May. so it's up to you.
[Nexus 7 General] GumarGamer:
Thanks :)

Thanks guys for your help!!!! :)

If someone wants to put their opinion, go head that will help me a lot to choose!!!! :)
[Nexus 7 General] KidCarter93:
As has already been said, it's totally up to you how you spend your money BUT I honestly think that if you wait around for the 'next best thing' you'll always be disappointed.

The Nexus 7 is an amazing device and is even better because of the pretty cheap price. Yes there's always a chance that a new version could be released if you decide to buy one now, but there's no guarantee that it will.
[Nexus 7 General] kingsway8605:
Don't play the waiting game because there is always going to be something better around the corner. It makes sense with non-nexuses because you have to worry about OS upgrades, but with nexuses you know Google will take care of you with OS updates. Plus the nexus is only $200, if Google releases something awesome that you absolutely must have, sell the nexus for 100 on craigslist and by the new one.
[Nexus 7 General] -Grift-:
Depends on where you stay and how much you are willing to spend though... For me i stay in Singapore so there is no official playstore that sells the nexus 7 i have to wait for ASUS to import it here so the prices are quite high even now. 16GB wifi version averages out at SGD350 and it took months before it reached here. So if i where to wait for the new one then im out of luck .. Very likely that it will reach here only next year == So im not waiting and getting it this weekend :) Thats my story :p
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I agree that waiting around is useless in most cases but Nexus devices get updated yearly and it is almost time for a new model.

I personally think a higher resolution 7" model will be a waste of resources since the N7 already has such a high DPI. If the current screen is "retina" type where individual pixels aren't visible to the naked eye, then why upgrade further?

The N7 is a fantastic device and I can't recommend any other 7" tablets. Seriously, the N7 is cheap enough at $200 and you can sell it or repurpose it if you ever want to upgrade.

May is several months away and who knows when the actual release date will be. I'd buy one now. At $200, it is better then being without one for who knows how long.
[Nexus 7 General] MasterJ87:
Like others have said, if you always wait for the next device which will be better, you'll always be waiting because every new device will be better.

BUT, since I/O is just 2 months away, I would recommend you wait IF you can live without a tablet for a while. But if you desperately need a tablet now and don't wish to wait, you won't regret getting the current N7. I have it and am very happy with it i.e. won't be upgrading to the newer model.
[Nexus 7 General] Queiroz1:
Its 200 bucks m8. You barely feel it over the budget. ehehe, and to be honest, its a brilliant piece of device, it isnt perfect but believe me when i tell you that its very very close to perfection, and its pretty, slim and accurate (and most of the N7 will agree with me on this one ;)). That question though is subjective because in the N7 case, Google ordered asus to make a TOP OF THE FOOD-CHAIN device of THE tablet's jungle, with the price of a Jungle Fly lol, (and they got the formula right since its the top seller for tablets atm). Now lets put it another way, obviously Google will order some new piece of tech even more raw than N7, but raw-ness costs money, imagine that a N7 II comes out with an outstanding octa-core? It will not cost 200 i tell you that much.

The more time you waste dueling on the should or should not, the more time you loose with the Nexus 7, go with the odds, N7 isnt the best of THE best only because of the low budget factor.

P.s. As much as i wanted to, i do not work for Google or asus, ehehe.

I accidentally bricked my a760s.

-the phone won't open unless connected to pc

-when connected, it will only go to charging mode

-when i try to enter recovery mode, this shows up:

"your phone will restart due to error occurred while running application "

i cannot access recovery mode, the only thing i can access is the s/w upgrade mode, which i don't know how to use since i'm not korean

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Hi guys!

I've been trying different kernel and roms at this time, I've been surprised with several of them greatly, but I've always liked my way of setting the cpu frequencies, governor, further reduce the brightness ... etc all

WITHOUT USING ANY EXTERNAL APP

that consume my internal memory and are constantly running in the background.

Well if you are one of those who leave permanently on your cpu frequency and like to save as much of your battery it will be very useful.

When I tested the Battery Extender 1.5.1 kernel I noticed that every time I restarted my device, the maximum clock frequency was changed to 902 Mhz and I needed tools to control this frequency (as no-frills or set-cpu)... Right, this is the end with the following tweaks, so forget No-Frills and Set-cpu!:

These changes will be adjusted every time you boot the system ;)

Viper The Ripper Tweaks to save battery

What I have changed?

Power off menu and back buttons

Reduced the brightness to maximum

Changed the frequency when the device starts to 245-787 Mhz

Changed the Governor when the device starts to Conservative (I prefer this Governor to save battery)

Working on: CF-Root, BatteryExtender, SpaceKernel, nims11 kernel

Extreme Version

Power off menu and back buttons

Reduced the brightness to maximum

Changed the frequency when the device starts to 245-614 Mhz

Changed the Governor when the device starts to Conservative (I prefer this Governor to save battery)

Working on: BatteryExtender 1.5.1 and up, it should works in SpaceKernel too

CM Versions

Power off menu and back buttons

How to install it?

1. Put the attached file into your sdcard

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Install from sdcard

4. Flash it

5. Reboot

6. Enjoy

Hellyeah!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benna:
did you use setCpu for cpu settings?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
I'm sure, in my opinion using no-frills or similar apps (sertCpu), you increase the RAM usage with background processes, so your battery will drain faster, anyway you don't need any app to set your cpu frequencies :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeemon:
Hi everyone,

As the name implies, I have an issue with my temperature sensor. Stupidly enough my phone has been exposed to water.

There are many things that can be found here and elsewhere on the internet about this, however none seem to provide information I need.

My temperature sensor since the exposure statically claims -200C (as opposed to -7 that most people with a similar issue seem to get) which results in inability to charge.

My question is; Does anyone have any more technical information about this sensor? Such as, where is it located, can I clean/repair it?

I have ordered a new charging port pcb. However, since the battery is not directly connected to that, I doubt that this component contains the 'logic' to calculate the temperature of the battery. So therefore I would really like to know what other things I can try to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance!

I Bought my mom a Galaxy S3 and the otterbox case and I like how it covers the USB port to prevent dirt from getting into it.

My question is, is there something like that for the Nexus 4, I have the nexus 3 and it's gotten the always charging indicator and the power level is kind of out there (showed 43% for a couple hours popped the batter out and back in and it was at 11% instantly) so I am getting ready for a nexus 4 but want a case that will cover it since the only time I need it exposed is when it's charging. (also help full if it supports a larger battery not a deal breaker though).

I've tried searching but all of them I can find has the USB port exposed or what looks like it is exposed
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jaxidian:
I'm not sure you'll ever be able to get a larger battery, so there are no cases to support them.
