[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] makoute:
To expand on that, not only do you need one, you cannot live without a N7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SenK9:
No, you don't 'need' one. I guess it really comes down to what you do on your phone/computer, that you might benefit from a tablet. I find I read alot of long articles, websites and the odd e-book here and there, as well as browsing forums/news. For these tasks, the laptop is really overkill, and the phone screen is too small. Having that extra space is a luxury.

On top of that, I considered that this would also save battery on the phone - leaving the phone to do ... phone things.

My view is, if using the tablet makes one of my favourite activities more enjoyable/efficient, it's already well worth the low price of admission.

Worst comes to worst, if you change your mind, just re-sell the item, there's huge demand for these things, and they'll hold their value for a while :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rushless:
Meh. The Nook HD+ is a better buy, IMO. I ordered the N7.2 32gb from BB to compare to the Nook.

Better size for reading.

Sd slot

Great build

Great display

No device is easier to root and mod or recover from if "bricked".

Now officially part of CM device support.

$80 to $100 less cost.

Of course, the device is end of life, but so are all electronic devices by definition of their life cycles.

The Nook HD+ though is a 9" tablet.

Added: If an Android gamer, some of the newer games play smoother on the N7, so if mainly into Android 3D games, the N7 is better. Emulators play the same on both devices. Well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] conan1600:
If you didn't have the new Nexus 7 you might wander outside. While wandering outside you might walk down to the cliffs by the beach. while standing on the edge of the cliffs at the beach a high flying duck might fall from the sky and hit you in the leg. When the duck hits you in the leg you might lose your balance and fall off the cliff into the ocean water below. While trying to stay afloat in the ocean a whale may be passing by and swallow you. Because you taste bad the whale might then spit you out of his blow hole where you might land on the beach in the middle of a pack of mating crabs which of course would rightly enrage the crabs who would then latch onto your nether regions when you could have been warm and dry snuggled up on the couch with your new Nexis 7 watching Kung Fu movies on You Tube.

Don't end up with with a raging case of crabs. Buy the new Nexus 7 and stay high and dry.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tweaked:
I am not going to talk you into it.

I don't want you to spend your hard earned money.

Keep it. Think of all the stuff you can buy for 250 bux.

Heres a small list;

Food

Toilet paper

a Bong

Road side assistance.

Retro Converse from 1982

Half a PS4/xbox one

A Puppy

See. You don't need one.

Go for the puppy.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] seattlecard:
I have a Nook HD+ and now the new 2013 N7. There is no comparison. The Nook HD+ is *painfully* slow. The N7 is a joy to use in comparison. Yes, I think the screen on the HD+ is decent, but for me I will be using the N7 now as my daily go-to device.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
I use mine all the time. Work, play, and leisure. The N7 fits in my front jeans pocket and I wear normal jeans. Its convenient and gives my cell and eyeballs a break. I use my phone for emails/messaging/calls and my tablet for work, office apps, web browsing, video watching, gaming, etc.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] [TSON]:
I used to have a firesale touchpad as well... This is night and day. The touchpad was clunky since Android wasn't official (not dragging the devs who worked hard on it, but) it just was not as smooth or as fluid as it could be, and that's on old hardware. On the N7 everything FLIES. The hardware difference is incredible. The N7 is like half the weight of the Touchpad, it's portable (fits in most of my pants pockets), it has NFC if you wanna send files quickly between your phone and tablet, and now we have TabletSMS so I never have to use my phone again while I have my tablet in my hands, and stuff like DataSync to keep it synced with my phone. It's honestly nuts how much use I get out of this thing. Not to mention the multi-user support.

This is my first Nexus device that I've owned myself and honestly the most impressive little handheld I've ever owned. And I've gone through a LOT, including an iPad. The utility and speed and screen resolution and battery life of this little trooper combined makes me never want to touch an iPad ever again. RIP.

Honestly, I own a Droid DNA as my primary phone and I've only touched it to answer calls since I got my N7 LOL. It's even taking over my laptop. I have Windows 8 and I've been using my Nexus 7 + Splashtop 2 so much it's actually nuts.

It's really not too crazy. Have you tried it? Every pair of shorts/jeans/dress pants I own bar one I can fit the N7 in with a little stretching.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
lmao. I wear 30x30 boot cut jeans. Non baggy at all. The N7 will easily fit in the front jean pocket. Of course you can't bend over... but you can walk around. I found this out a few days ago when I had my hands full. It "barely" fits in my back pockets, and by barely I mean almost, and by almost, I mean I wouldn't chance it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] [TSON]:
Hell, I'm a skinny guy and I wear 26/32 skinny/straight and it still fits in all of my pockets. I'd be surprised if anyone had too much trouble.

Anyway to port to s5280?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Chirtagh:
hi there..

[MENTION=5132893]touseefiqbal[/MENTION]

This only gives su permissions by pushing su to xbin..

But after su is pushed into xbin one will have to install SuperSu from google play to manage root permissions to certain apps..

And also Busybox Pro to install latest busybox and its applets

And this will complete the complete rooting process :)

Root success!!!

Thank you very much. This is my first android phone and I have rooted it successfully in just under 2 months of use. I was getting "signature bugs unavailable" error on the latest software. Flashed the oldest stock rom shared on page 3 of this forum and flashed it successfully using ODIN. After that followed the instructions and voila, ROOTED! :laugh:

But can anyone point to me the use of the latest updates from Samsung? I had updated my phone previously but didn't find any significant or visible changes except the Indian languages replacing the global languages! Maybe changes under the hood??? Unfortunately on updating then the only change which was visible to me was that my RAM decreased from 512mb to 459mb available! :crying: Can anyone tell me why?

Also I saw there was an update available yesterday on Samsung Kies. Will updating to the latest S/w tamper with the root?

Sorry for such a lengthy post. This is my first forum post..!!!

Thanks again!!!

Go to samsung-updates.com and download the suitable firmware and flash it.

[Samsung Galaxy Star] crohit911:
I don't know much about the source but I've used them on 3 phones(sg-s, galaxy y and galaxy star) and all run well. You also get the updates from samsung which means that the firmware is pristine. And yes, bad english is not a problem but using other languages is.

P. S. - ur english ain't bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] :
Can you please explain what is Busybox Pro required for? And would the Busybox free version suffice, if used?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] crohit911:
Pro version contains no ads or nag screens, Backup feature (for safer installs), uninstall feature, Advance Smart install feature, the ability to hand pick the applets you want, safety check for missing applets on start, and better overall support. The pro version will receive more frequent updates than the free version will.

source- play store.

According to me free will do the job but u can get the pro version if you're not sure what you're doing and might **** up something while installing...

an advice, use smart installer it takes few moments to initialize but is better to wait. The basic work of busybox is to install linux commands required by many root apps to work properly. In plain English it allows you or programs to perform actions on your phone using Linux (copied from Unix) commands. Android is basically a specialized Linux OS with a Java compatible (Dalvik) machine for running programs. The Android kernel is a modified version of the Linux kernel (that is why the Android kernel must always be open source). Busybox gives functionality to your phone that it does not have without it. Many programs, especially root programs such as Titanium Backup, require busybox to perform the functions of the program. Without busybox installed your phone is much more limited in what it can do.

EASY WAY TO ROOT

STEP BY STEP

Turn on usb debugging mode in your phone by enabling developers tools and ticking usb debugging mode.

1. Switch off device

2. go into recovery mode using key combination voulume up+home+power. You may leave power after see the model number of your phone

3. Wait in recovery as your PC will install drivers.

4. Windows will install adb drivers. Wait till it finishes. If it doesnot work. Go into impact and then usb and scan while in recovery.

5. Open Impacter

6 use this command to root

puch supersu su binary to /system/xbin instead of drop .... you may replace puch with drop or push if that doesnot work

6. install superSU and busybox from google play

Now you are rooted.

This doesnot have 100 percent success rate
