Yeah nothing really was worth writing home about. Most exciting news of the day was you can buy a galaxy s4 on the play store with stock Android... But at that price who would buy one? It's only a little bit better than the n4 imo. Weaker imo when I comes to the stupid physical buttons

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lolcopter:
no news is good news in this regard imo

the last thing the nexus line needs is to become hardware shills like samsung who churn out new hardware solely for the sake of churning out new hardware (and pushing hardware sales)

still waiting on plenty of much needed software optimization before i get my panties in a twist over an almost insignificant hardware upgrade

viva la N7
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I'm calmed down now and realized it was a better io than I originally thought. I said earlier in this thread that at this point there is no reason to upgrade the nexus 7 yet because no clear competition in that price range and I stick to it.

Still want an android update to address bugs, battery life and lag. Doesn't need an overhaul at this point just needs some tweaking.

The only annoying thing about Google not announcing a new N7 is that now we do not know when they will launch it. So I do not know if I should to buy a current one or wait for a new one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] gc84245:
You could always see if you can get a deal on a used one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I'm pretty certain their will be a second generation nexus 7. Android needs flagship devices and they need to stay up to date hardware wise as they are intended for developers to develop and test apps on. Matias Duarte even said it best, android doesn't exist without the nexus devices. It's not a question of "if" it's "when. Not to mention the nexus 7 was a killer hit for Google and they gotta keep up with Amazon and apple. But I really do feel it's too soon right now
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TA123:
I guess they will probably launch it sometime in November.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Hopefully it's June 10th when they announce the new white N4 and 4.3

That would make more sense. Leave November for the 10" and new Nexus.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PVL_93_RU:
*sigh* I hate waiting -_-
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] -_Alex_-:
I love my N7. I see no reason to upgrade until I have to. Nice specs though.:D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TA123:
Let's hope they'll do...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
I agree 100%. The current model is great. I probably wouldn't upgrade either unless I had to, which I fear I will at the end of the month. Then its just about getting the most out of my money.

Hopefully I don't hear any more about returning mine and I can keep it but right now I'm excited to hear some announcement. Google will want to 1+ Apple and other manufactures with an HD 7" device. Plus if they announce 4.3, they'd probably announce it along side a new device like always.

And I hope the nexus 5 comes with Verizon bands as well so I can upgrade my GN.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] yatbond:
Well, I got quite excited for the rumor.... Obviously, very disappointed now.

Can't speak for others, but I was looking for a faster processor, LTE, smaller size, and lightet weight.

I use mine for work, and was using a N10, but that thing gave me so much trouble that I sold it.

Honestly speaking, N7 is not up to par on any of the specs... We just don't have a choice on high end 7 inch. For power user, it is on the borderline. I open up pretty big acrobat files, and it is ok (but much much better than N10). I wish it can access my gdrive and dropbox files faster with 4g. And I keep this in the side pocket of my suit, so weight and size really matter.

Don't know whether anyone in the same camp...

Other than that, I find n7 a great device on browsing and kindle-ing. Higher res and a 7.5 inch with smaller bezels would be great... But these are secondaries.

Did anyone see the aquos pad by sharp? Pretty much hit all the nails, except a bigger screen size... Drooling.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The Gingerbread Man:
There will be another Google conference in the near future and then I think they will tell us of 4.2.3 / 4.3 / 5.0 what ever it is and only then will they show case the new line up of devices. This year the io show cased how the Google apps and services and chrome are moving forward without even needing a system update to pull off all this new stuff with new api etc which is awesome. It means the news is focused on the devs and software and not over shadowed by the masses only giving a **** about new android version and newer devices. They have more time to get the finished version done right and not rushed which leads to bugs. I think its good to have a separate event focused on the new devices with android version, that way gapps, devices and android versions respectively all get their time in the lime light and chance to make the headlines.

Really good actually!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Yeah I think it's time to move to one major update a year and more solid releases with less bugs, and maybe 2 bug revisions in between. Slow it down, 4.2 is a mess because it was hobbled together in 3 months after 4.1.

Fragmentation is a serious problem because right now the sdk is designed for 4.2, and devs can't guarantee compatibility for devices not running it. And with carrier approval and waiting on binaries for hardware, it's impossible for oems to keep up with new versions of android. Slow it down, I say wait till next year for klp.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jonny68:
Doubt I'll buy another Nexus 7, not because I don't like it, on the contrary it's an excellent piece of equipment and for the price one of the best things I've purchased, but I really should have kept my laptop as there are some things I miss about it, the Nexus 7 is great for Web browsing, video, gaming, etc but when it comes to stuff like using Microsoft office it's lacking and ive also got a HTC One and if your always playing around with that as regards custom ROMs, etc the Nexus 7 isn't much good for that as you need a PC /Laptop with Windows so i find myself having to use Internet cafes but in general the Nexus 7 rocks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lolcopter:
Well played tech media, well played
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I hear ya there. I sold my flyer for the nexus 7 because it couldn't do pc Web browsing, only to find the nexus 7 can't either. Thats also why I won't upgrade. Love my n7 but tablets overall are still companion devices to your cell phone, they aren't what I want them to be and unless Microsoft makes some killer 7 inch tablet with an x86 cpu they won't be anytime in the near future.

The problem really is ARM architecture just blows, the Internet and pc world is adapted around x86. Take flash. For all the hype about ditching it, it ran so slow on my Captivate it was useless anyway. You'd think a SoC like tegra 3 which is light years ahead of the hummingbird soc in that phone wouldn't struggle at all right? Wrong. I've used the hackery to get flash going and it runs no better at all. And on a snapdragon 800 I'm willing to bet it still sucks. Because arm blows

It's a great little device for ereading, mobile gaming, mobile media playback, and casual Web browsing, but it ain't a pc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] *child:
I really can't understand how one comes to the conclusion that an Android tablet can replace their [office] PC.

... for this is what the Nexus 7 is meant. If you think otherwise, you are greatly misinformed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I get that, and I understood that when I bought it. I'm a stocker at a retail company, I don't need a business laptop. But I still hoped it could be more given how good the Tegra 3 looked on paper, and for 80% of what I do, it works fine. Really it's almost a pc except 2 categories that cripple it:

1. Multi window.

2. Web browsing.

For most Web browsing it works fine. But certain things just cripple chrome, and sometimes I need multiple windows open and can't have it. In which case I'm grabbing our ancient Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop to complete whatever I need done.

And I have a gaming pc too that I built , which is what I use when I want to play battlefield 3 or spend some extensive time managing finances or applying for jobs. But my point is my tablet doesn't replace those 2 devices and better hardware isn't going to get me anywhere towards that goal, so why even bother?

Also I do believe eventually tablets will get there, but until they do, there's no point in upgrading. Microsoft actually has that idea with the surface tablets, which would indeed be pc's but software is so scarce on them making them a very bad investment.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Razorblood:
Try the Galaxy Note 8. It has multi window and its a pretty good tablet as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] *child:
I agree. I think it will be awhile before tablets and especially Android tablets get there. Windows 8 tablets have the functionality, but are bulky and lack the app ecosystem. Android tablets have the perfect size and ecosystem, but not much of the functionality when it comes to productivity. I think if Google Docs was as productive as Microsoft Office (its getting close but not quite there yet), the end-consumer PC market would seriously be threatened, even more so than it currently is. As for hardcore gaming, I believe it is better suited to the consoles.

I would consider upgrading to a faster, higher resolution 3G Nexus 7. Other than that, the current Nexus 7 is pretty damn good.

Its fast but the resolution and TouchWiz UI are disappointing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Yeah Samsung tablets are terrible, imo they don't even seem to care anymore what they release in that market. Was at best buy today playing with them and they all have lackluster screens and feel laggy compared to the nexus 7. And the thing that kills the note 8 imo is Samsungs stupid physical buttons.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Droid9:
I agree. I bought a bluetooth keyboard thing for the Nexis 7. Its really nice, it snaps over the screen making a really nice little hard case. The keyboard is very responsive and has a nice feel. There is just one problem... There is nothing I need to type that much for on the Nexus!! Its just not that kind of device. I'm not going to be sending long emails or writing papers on it.

The Nexus 7 is meant to be an on-the-go type device and you just don't need a keyboard for any of that kind of use. Not when you have a full PC at home, work, etc.

We are definitely getting off topic. But since we are at it, I think the upcoming win 8 tablet could give android tablet a run for its money. I sold my nexus 10 thinking getting the xperia tablet z.... But the price and sluggishness turned me off.... I ended up buying an open box lenovo tablet 2 with 4g for us$530. I know it only has an intel atom processor but 8 hours run time, comparable portability, and pen input.... Just the perfect tablet find note taking, meeting, some leisure stuff..

I still love my n7 but if android tablet doesn't improve quick, m$ is right there to take the $.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Yeah I miss the old "evil empire" Microsoft is a shell of what it used to be. They let their ego run them into the ground, creating products and not marketing them at all and just expecting them to sell like Zune. Really the RT tablets and windows phones are the new Zune, Microsoft is expecting they'll just sell because hey there Microsoft! Doesn't work anymore.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PulseDroid:
Just a quick unprofessional sketch up of what I'd like the new Nexus 7 to look like.

Super fast SSD - Not this slow piece of junk.

2560 x 1700 Resolution screen still on a 7.5" Screen.

Same size device, just smaller bezels.

Rear facing 5MP camera.

Beats Speakers - Earphones with a special DSP could be cool.

Some sort of led that can light different colors, like the Xperia U.

[Used QNBT's Ironman J.A.R.V.I.S.Q for the Ui.]

I know this would probably make the device to expensive anyway, oh well a kid can dream right? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
I think it should look like the nexus phones, I'm thinking curves on the top and bottom and a thin bezel on the side. And housed in those curved edges stereo speakers. But no glass back of course, keep the back the same
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PulseDroid:
That could be cool! :) I'll sketch it to get a better look. :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
People got to realize at some point it doesn't matter. I think the 1080p phone screens are already unnecessary, I can't see pixels on my Nexus 4 screen and it's only 1280x768. Now at 7 inches there's still room for improvement beyond 1280x800, but that high of a resolution would be a waste of resources
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PulseDroid:
True. Al tough with Tech evolving this fast, and with Samsung and their flexible OLED Screen, I believe anything is possible, this might be a next generation thing? But yea go ahead think inside the box. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Yea super high resolution is a complete waste of resources on such a tiny screen that you keep close to your face. If "Retina" aka "pixels so small that your eyes can't make them out is ~300DPI, then what is the need to go higher then that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Yeah it's become a marketing thing. I compared my phone to the galaxy s4 and HTC One and pixel density wise, I couldn't tell a difference even though they each have a ppi that's over a 100 pixels higher. So all they need for the next nexus 7 is a ppi above 300, whatever resolution that comes to.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] IRX120:
Well, believe it or now, I can see the pixels on my n4 and if you compare it to the HTC one, text is clearer, slightly, the human eye can actually see much higher than 300ppi it just depends on how good your eyes are.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Flippy125:
I can see the pixels on my N4 also. I remember people saying the same thing about the qHD display on the Sensation, and calling people crazy for saying they could see the pixels. After a while your eyes get adjusted to the density and start to make them out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Holding the phone up to your nose doesn't count!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Flippy125:
I'm nearsighted and partly blind in my right eye, so I hold the phone 1-3 feet from my face. Its more of being able to see the grid of pixels, not individual pixels. It is most noticeable with #HOLOYOLO blue

EDIT: Looking at it closer, I think it may be the refresh rate of the screen because it is more of a flashing grid.

Everything is functional for me...the camera is mis-aligned a bit but still usable. I don't use the stock SMS app, but MMS is working fine on the Sliding Messaging app

For your xPosed settings, did you add the modsettings folder, change the perms on the shared pref's (inside the modsettings) and then copy over the XML file from the DPI zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stryver:
I was able to get camera and gallery to work perfectly by using romtoolbox to fix permissions on APPSETTINGS, then I used APPSETTINGS to change dpi of the CAMERA to 160 and resolution to 1000x1600. Save changes and do the same exact thing to the GALLERY. Make sure you save the settings and kill the apps when you do, it should give you that option. Hope this helps, sorry I have no idea about mms, I use a 3rd party app to save money on texting so never even tried...

MMS should work. It works on the N7100. Surely it isn't that much of a change just to have the LTE radios

It's also rumoured to be the first phone designed entirely in Japan (other phones have all been designed at least in part by Sony Mobile in Sweden).

I'm fairly curious as to how thick the phone will be, given that the Snapdragon 800 will probably pump out more heat than the S600 or APQ8064.
