[Nexus 7 General] Troute:
A 10" tablet + keyboard or a proper laptop would be my recommendation.

A 7" screen is just too small if you're doing a lot of typing or graphical work. Netbooks have had their day, most modern tablets are better spec'd, handier and more portable. A laptop will be much more powerful but you lose a bit on the portability side and might have power issues during a long day.
[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
Thanks troute :) is there any tablet or laptop you'd recommend? I can't really spend anymore than $300 AUD, and the nexus 10 seems to be over $400.
[Nexus 7 General] Troute:
No idea m8 sorry, I don't know what is available in Aus or what the prices are. One option would be to save up for a bit longer though, A$300 = about £184 which isn't much when buying technology over here.

Remember too that if you do buy a tablet the case and keyboard will be extra.
[Nexus 7 General] bcvictory:
I'm from Australia! I'd recommend waiting for the next Nexus 7. It should be around $300 for the 32GB version. Trust me, you want alot of storage.
[Nexus 7 General] ozzy lion:
For productivity I would stick with a windows machine.

The N7 is great but it's a toy compared to a PC. I use kingsoft and it is the best on android but it is no excel. If you are going to build complex spreadsheets it will restrict you. It's more designed to view and edit documents rather than build them.

Also android has no native support for proxy over wifi so if your uni uses a proxy you won't be able connect to their network without rooting.

In my opinion an entry level laptop is a better choice for study.
[Nexus 7 General] IINexusII:
dont be a fool. the new nexus 7 is just around the corner
[Nexus 7 General] tqgia2:
Got a nexus 7 (an Aussie like you) and while it's good for slides and all, comes up short if you want to do much else besides really really basic notes. I would probably save a few hundred more and get an entry level ultra book or something like that. It'll be much more useful in the long term. Trust me on this one.
[Nexus 7 General] armada786:
If you want a leisure computer with top notch productivity and the ability to run some work programs then you should stick with Windows 8. Why not try Acer's new 8 inch model coming out.

If you want a leisure computer that is a peripheral to a real work machine (a desktop or laptop) that you might just do a little document editing on then the Nexus 7 is the better choice.

Weigh how much you're going to rely on the device for getting things done.
[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
yeah kingsoft did seem quite slow when I tried it on my phone :/ no idea what my university uses, but others use iPads just fine there. Also not looking to do anything complex really, just be able to write down notes quickly during lectures and the ability to write notes on power points (like on a windows computer)

Problem is I'm getting one for a present and i really cannot spend more than $300 :(
[Nexus 7 General] ozzy lion:
Kingsoft although the most full featured free office app on android it is also the most laggy.

If your getting 300 get it as a gift card for a local or online store so you can contribute your own money towards a win8 machine.

Android is not a desktop or laptop replacement. As said before it compliments one well but I can't imagine using a mobile OS for my main computer through uni. Would have driven me nuts!

Even for not taking I believe paper is better as you have the freedom to combine words with diagrams and formula much easier.

Tablets work better in a corporate environment for emails and reviewing documents. When studying I think this technology can get in the way of learning and becomes a distraction.

My opinion obviously YMMV
[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
Thanks heaps for that input ozzy :) unfortunately as I have just started uni, saving up an extra $200-300 may be quite difficult, especially since my trimester just ended so I'll need to buy more books soon. I will try and look around for a small netbook or cheap laptop that runs windows, hopefully I can come by one. If not, i can always attach a keyboard to my galaxy haha
[Nexus 7 General] gc84245:
I agree that if you're going to be writing papers and such, a laptop is the only way to go. You can probably get a cheap one for around $300 if you keep an eye out for sales.

[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
I'll be writing papers on my main PC at home, I'm just looking for something to write down notes and things while I'm at uni, so I don't get mixed up between physical notes and virtual notes, like to keep everything on one platform for convenience really
[Nexus 7 General] gc84245:
I see. In that case a pen and notebook is probably the best thing for taking notes, but maybe I'm just old because that's how I did it when I was in University ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Hreidmar:
Noooo whatever you do don't get netbooks they are HORRIBLE slow and slugish....pure horror.

If you would like an alternative tablet then go with the Note series as it has better support for stylus thus better at taking notes. :)
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Honestly I would recommend the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 8" with the S-Pen.

I LOVE my N7 but the Notes are superb for writing and drawing scribbles. The 8" Note would be comparable to size and utilizes one of their new 1.6ghz Exynos chips.

http://www.wired.co.uk/reviews/tablets/2013-04/samsung-galaxy-note-8

A little on the pricier side but the S-Pen will really come in handy in class or work. I use my N7 for work and its great, but there are times when I'm standing in front of a customer and they are rattling off stuff, that I wish I had a pen to jot things down.

I'm not sure the Pen is worth an extra $130-$180 though. I know several people with the Note tabs and they never even use the stylus. So one would have to really commit to the Pen before flopping down the dough ($). Seems like a great unit and a serious contender. Something to think about.

N7 = $199-$249

Note 8 = $379 (16gb White)

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-16GB-White/dp/B00BQH8UEY
[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
Thanks for the input :) I have taken a look at the note and unfortunately I can't really afford it. I wouldn't really use the stylus anyways since I can type much quicker then I can write.

To me it looks like a choice between the n7, a really cheap laptop (if i can find one) or a netbook. While the netbook is slow, it could not possibly be slower than running kingsoft on android can it?
[Nexus 7 General] Hreidmar:
I've seen 4 netbooks in action and even my mother has one as her home office pc, it's horror how slow it opens browser and other software and don't tell me you will use your device only for note taking because thats what we always tell ourselves and it's simply a lie. :P

Get a cheap laptop or a tablet (Nexus 7 or Galaxy Note 8)
[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
Haha yeah I know what you mean, but don't worry my phones already a distraction enough for me at university :P alright thanks heaps, I'll try and get a nexus 7 or if I find it too small I'll get the galaxy tab as the note is out of my range :)
[Nexus 7 General] afrojoc:
Off topic but I LOVE my chromebook that I use for school. The nexus 7 doesnt cut it for me. I own both. A 7 inch screen is just an eye strain to look at when jotting notes or typing papers. Samsung Chromebook without a doubt! You can also try it at Best Buy if youre in the US and return it within 14 days if you dont like it for a full refund. You dont even need to have an issue to return it. Its worth the try honestly. You dont lose anything either if you dont like it within 14 days.
[Nexus 7 General] uprightbass360:
Frankly I can't sing enough praises for my n7 16gb. I got it for 199 around 5 months back and my girlfriend talked me into buying the protection plan through office depot and it has totally paid off. I accidentally dropped a walkie talkie on it at work and smashed the screen and they replaced it for free, bought another 1 year plan, and heck, if I break it again I get a new one. Seriously though, it works great and thew custom development forum is amazing. Buy one , you won't regret it:)
[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
It's not off topic, that's one of the things I was considering :) may I ask if you use it for stuff like powerpoint and word? The size of the screen on the n7 is also putting me off, that's why in my previous post I mentioned the galaxy tab 10.1 inch. Unfortunately, i dont live in the US and unaware if any of the stores here offer such a service :(
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
The Chromebook is limited to Chrome Apps. So office compatible apps would most likely be online versions (I think everything is online with a chromebook for the most part).

We had an older ChromeBook here and I liked it but couldn't see myself using it.

Here is a video of Google Docs on the Chromebook:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiJ2vyddHjU

I think the downside is requiring an internet connection, right? Doing a Google Search shows there is a limited number of offline-capable apps. Most are web apps run over the internet through the browser. There is no reason to require an internet connection just to type up a paper.

Colleges typically have WiFi now, but that doesn't mean that your particular class or seat will have good coverage. Relying on an online app to save your term paper is iffy for me.

I think the idea of the Chromebook is great but Android will have a much better variety of apps it can use offline whenever it needs.

I've owned several netbooks and they are slower then my Android tabs and clunkier too. My Gf still has a Samsung Netbook and it drives me crazy. Netbooks have such a low resolution and small screen that they just aren't suitable for a mouse/windows environment.

My vote is an Android Tablet. For school, I'd recommend the Note. Since the Note is too expensive for your budget right now, I'd get the Nexus 7. Great bang for your buck. Powerful enough to play games and versatile enough to use OTG-USB for USB Thumb drives for external storage and bluetooth mice and keyboards.

They have some pretty awesome Bluetooth keyboards with built in touchpads for mice control. Might be a good option.

Here is a matching N7 Keyboard/Case:

[Nexus 7 General] Williamharv:
Alright thanks for that player :) I've been looking around for laptops and netbooks, and I've only been able to afford really old laptops for like $200 and only last 2-3 hours on the battery. The netbooks seem to last a lot longer and some have the same come with 2gb RAM like the old laptops, would in this scenario a netbook be better? I only ask because of the weight and longer battery life.

I will go into a store today and check the size of the n7, see if it's not too small.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
The MOST I've ever seen a Netbook use is 2gb of Ram. I don't think they can physically handle more. Maybe newer ones. But usually the resolution on the Nexus 7 will be greater then any resolution of a Netbook. Typically they are 1200x900 I think. Too small for a Windows unit.

Also beware that Walmart and BestBuy like to swap out the batteries for the smaller capacity cells (3cell vs 6cell).

I highly recommend against a Netbook btw. Tablets are replacing the Netbooks for a reason.

Dear kernel and ROM developers.

According to GPL v2 license, under which kernels are released, kernels must be released with source code provided.

To be fully compliant, the thread must contain.

@ kernel devs

Successfully build and produce a valid output file, which is the same format as provided in the binary

Contain all source code, interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable (it is not required to include the actual compiler/toolchain, but sufficient information should be made available to obtain the SAME configuration, including compiler flags, as used to build the binary version as released

Example.

@ ROM devs

if ROM uses custom boot.img, the source must be provided. If it uses kernel by someone else, the kernel thread must be linked in the OP

if the ROM contains stock kernel, source must be linked (official site can be used)

Using a non GPL compliant kernel makes your ROM non compliant and subject to removal

Violation of GPL is in fact a breaking of the law, so I don't have to explain what could be a final of this.

Thank you for your attention.

Hey guys, is the website "imessageonandroid.com" legitimate?

I've been doing some research and would really love this. But I dont want some app full of malware and virus's.
[General Topics] copnsteez:
looks legit, but i have a bad feeling....

their website isn't horrible like the way i would expect malware sites to be, however there is something that doesn't add up to me and i can't quite put my finger on it. They also have a youtube video up that has no actual footage of the program being used and all the comments are 2 months old. If something this great came out 2 months ago, it would have blown up on tech blogs. that's just my thoughts and i'm waiting to get a definitive answer before I install it on my phone.

[General Topics] Hyperbaric:
Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but can't find an answer through searching.

When I try to dowload files from a forum, Pocket IE downloads the DOWNLOAD.PHP file - which of course don't do nothin'.

Is it possible to download files from this site directly onto PPC using Pocket IE?

Cheers.
[General Topics] madkat:
Open the PHP file in a text editor (like Word, I suppose)

There should be a link (it may be a relative link) to the file in there.

If you don't know enough about HTML & HTTP to be able to figure it out, don't download files from forums.
[General Topics] Hyperbaric:
Had a look at a text dump of the file (after emailing it to my web-based email account so I could view it on my terminal at work). No link there.

Thank you for your advice. I was planning to drive home tonight, but since I don't know enough about the internal cumbustion engine, I suppose I'd better walk.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android The Greek:
When you use the command make sure your in cwm not fastboot.

Thanks. I had been in CWM earlier, and the same as just now, when I try ./adb devices ... while in CWM, terminal returns no listing of devices.

It seems to me that ADB does work, as it identifies the "daemon is out of date" and restarts it successfully.

It is just that ADB does not recognise the HTC One, whilst "Fastboot devices" does, while not in fast boot usb.

I am still lost. CWM works. ADB cannot connect ...
