[Nexus 7 (2013) General] diddicus:
So far I do like this tablet. Its speed and some of the new features in jellybean are pretty neat like enhancing the size of small radio boxes so you can press them on the small screen. I also like the improved keyboard, as my last android experience was on a droid x.

I literally put my WiFi iPad 2 up for sale on ebay today but I think maybe I might have jumped the gun.

Reason being is that I had no idea there were screen issues with some of the Nexus 7 until I came to the form today. I don't seem to have these issues but it makes me uneasy.

Now granted, I came from iOS devices and still have an iPhone so I have been trying very hard to get my calendar and contacts synced up. I've been trying to use Smoothsync for contacts and it is not been going well. The app constantly crashes and I'm finding myself having to go nerdwank with settings and workarounds all over again in 2013 just to get basic syncing happening.

Before you clown me or defend the N7 I do realize that trying to use apple specific syncing with android is not the most ideal Solution so I expected some Issues.

Then I find that without fail the OEM "mail" app is crashing when I try to reply to messages. Text editing is god awful on this thing and this message took 45 minutes with the blue editing markers jumping below the page and doing odd ****. Part of this can be forgiven duento the screen size and inherent limitations and I realize this.

I didn't intend to make this a rant but I must say that android is still not ready for prime time.

I really wanted this to be a great tablet but I think in the end the software is still half baked and I find myself once again being a Google beta tester. Let the hate begin I guess.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] IamPro:
Are you sure the apps are optimized for 4.3? Have you talked to the developer or searched around for a solution to the crashes/problems?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] alicarbovader:
you say android isn't prime yet... well you're quite wrong. There are literally millions of devices running android, and out of those, only few have reported issues, which are once in a blue moon. These devices are often out of the league. Like this new nexus, or HTC One, or Nexus 10. These devices have extraordinarily large display sizes, and yes, android probably isn't ready for these resolutions. Think of the iOS coming out 11 yrs ago, and so much of suing to get their stuff perfected and totally unparalleled. Now think of android, coming out just five years ago, and suffering much of the suing bussiness, and outclassing every other platform there. In just 5 years, we have these extraordinary devices, that probably still sound like magic to me, though I admit reading the fantasy literature toomuch, but still, you can well imagine the limits android has crossed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] conan1600:
gotta disagree about not being prime time. I enjoy android much more than apple on every level from hardware to os. save one tiny, very annoying thing and I give you props for bringing it up on a non stylus tablet you are quite right. text editing does indeed suck. omg I just sided with an apple lover, I feel so...dirty.

na when your right your right, the blue cursor of doom is annoying at times. but from there well I gotta say android rules
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] looney2388:
i'll take it easy on you since i use to like apple myself. But android is better than apple and will take some time getting use to. the more you use it you will like it a lot more than ios. the only feature i like about apple is using itunes with putting music on your device but i dont need that so much now since im always using tune in radio. now as for typing and using the keyboard you can always try different keyboard apps from the playstore. im personally using swiftkey tablet edition and like it the most. for syncing your information there are more than one app that will let you do that so try other ones.

45 minutes ? I am slow also. But 45 minutes????

Haven't you heard of swype record made by a woman two years back. He I think he wrote that much in 45 seconds. And, was accurate.

I am not using swype particularly currently, but on my lowest end lg optimus two years back, I could write very fast. And that was on 2.2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hughlle:
I have to state that upon reading that it took you 45 minutes to write a few sentences, well i have to take your criticisms with a grain of salt. 45 minutes? come on. I don't think that's a problem with android. I still use my htc desire with 2.2 (if 4.3 isn't ready for prime then heavens knows what 2.2 would be described as) and it wouldn't have taken me 10 minutes to write that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Matrix_19:
I like my Ipad ? not

but there are many great features like live wallpaper or widgets ? not

the OEM keyboard sucks but you can change it for another one on the Apple Store right ? no ??

I want iTunes to copy and sync everything i have on my android phone on my iPad, is it possible ?? WHAT ?? NO ??

OK damnit, I just want the %$?& OEM video player to play a basic DivX video... is it possible ?? OMG

ok it is time for a big conclusion :

I didn't intend to make this a rant but I must say that iOS is still not ready for prime time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rkennison:
Why are you trying to use some 3rd party contact hack? Ipad, sync it to google with your contacts. Nexus, sync it to google for your contacts. Tada, contacts are sync'd up between them. ( same with your calendar ).

45 minutes? Perhaps apple is for you then. ( Really? 45 minutes? I am pretty sure my dog can do better... )

@OP

>android is still not ready for prime time

There are things you don't say in a fan forum. The above is one of those. It's flame bait, and it renders everything else you've said into noise, because this is the only thing people will respond to.

>Text editing is god awful on this thing

Of course it is. You're comparing a 7" to a 9.7" which has over twice the surface area. For fiddly things like editing, larger (display) is better, especially if you have large hands. 7" is better for certain uses, and 10" is better for others.

Another issue is that Android isn't iOS, and has different routines for tasks. Some people get frustrated when switching to a different platform, because all of the routines they're familiar with are now useless, and have to be relearned.

Re: Syncing and other issues - As above, it's part of the learning curve when switching platform--finding new tools and ways to do things. It's more productive to dispense with the rant and flamebait, and just simply ask for help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Kinda harsh for a new Android user.

Anyway the best option is to sync your Apple stuff with Google first. You can use a PC to access Gmail and make edits there. Once your Calendar and Contacts are satisfactory, then sync with Android (or it should automatically).

I've had no problems with the mail app. So I'm not sure what you are talking about. You also mention text messaging...? Gmail is for Gmail.

Email is for Corporate Exchange or Alt Emails. You can also setup Gmail in here but the Gmail app is better geared to take advantage of the Google Mail slew of features.

I'm not sure why its taking you 45 min to write an email. I've typed all this out in less then 4. If your keyboard is pressing all sorts of crazy letters and symbols then you may have a whacky touchscreen. Its not common but some have reported touch issues.

The move from iOS to Android is a learning curve because there are more options and freedom. Once you grasp the concepts of a few things and get familiar with the layout, you'll appreciate it more. You'll soon find iOS frustrating.

I think I get the problem with typing. I find sometimes if I'm typing onto a website in chrome its almost impossible to move the cursor to another bit of text. It takes on a life of its own jumping about or refusing to move.

No problems though other than within chrome on some sites.

You are right, Android needs 3+ years to stagnate and do minimal incremental updates with zero innovation in order to be stable.

Android isn't ready for prime time, but it owns like 80% of the mobile market. That's kind of sad for iOS
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bobchomac:
I agree with the OP about the text input in text area using chrome. I notice that when I type replies here with chrome and I tap to move the blue cursor somewhere it just goes wherever it wants. Happens mostly when I try to move it at the end of the text after editing or adding something in the middle. Not sure why this is. I do not have the erratic touchscreen issue so its not that.

Other than that I'm in love with my new N7 :)

Apple and IOS =

1. People who think its cool to own an Apple device, because.... Its cool

2. People who ain't very tech savvy

3. Usually teenagers or people in their mid 50`s

Let's be honest here, most people, who own an iDevice have no idea what is going on inside it, anyone who thinks its good to buy an iPad mini is seriously stupid, its old iPad 2 tech but people still went out in their droves and bought them like hot cakes, buying old tech due to it saying apple, IOS is such a walled garden and is so dated, even IOS 7 is still dated and is still playing catch up with Android.

I also remember a time when iPhone lovers slammed Samsung and the like for selling plastic products that was cheaper to produce.... No they are all saying how great the iPhone 5c is... Most iDevice users are double standard, hypocrites, who care for nothing but fashion accessories...

Rant over lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Karbooo:
Hey guys Ive never used this Nexus interface and the on-screen buttons for home, back and other apps seems to be wasting too much screen space for me.... Is there a way to customize these buttons??? that would be awesome.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
I use pie controls from cm 10.2 on mine :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alicarbovader:
Get a cusom ROM. Then modify it's framework-res.apk to match your requirements.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
Custom ROMs have tons of flexibility over these. Change the size, icons, transparency, color, shape, location, hide, auto-hide, etc.

I'm using CM10.2 Kanged. It has the options you want.

For example you can hide the bar and setup swipe gustures. Like swipe left for Back, swipe up for recents, swipe down for home.

Or use PIE Controls.

Or some other app.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] a Mandroid:
How to enjoy Nexus 7 in Fullscreen

This can be achieved in multiple ways, my recommendations as follows:

Using Stock ROM

First, you need to have root access. Search the forums on how to root your nexus 7. (Its quite easy)

Then, install the Gesture Control app from play store - it allows you to use configurable gestures to perform back/home/menu etc actions.

Finally, using ES File Explorer or some other root explorer, you can modify the build.prop file in the system partition to hide the bottom navigation bar:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Then you'd be able to enjoy your nexus 7 in fullscreen.

Using Cynaogenmod

Alternatively, you can use Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM, which allows you to switch to fullscreen mode by holding the power button and selecting "Expanded Desktop". Cyanogenmod also includes a Pie Control app, which allows you to swipe your finger from the edge to reveal a navigation control. All this can be configured under Settings > System.

This is how I am using my nexus at the moment. Highly recommend.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
pie stable?

I liked using pie on my n4, but I found it to be temperamental. Has the stability been improved now? I'm not a massive fan of the on screen nav buttons.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] conan1600:
Not in my experience. I'm still waiting for someone to port tablet ui to cm 10.2
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kmyerslp:
The real estate you are getting with the buttons still there is 1080p. Do you need more than that? Full sreening movies will distort the image to fit your space. Like everyone said, a custom rom will do you well. My only issue is that I like having the menu button down there.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Karbooo:
Thanks for the replies everyone I went with the clean rom and a beta kernel that allows for tap-to-wake which is great and I've been using GMD gestures to navigate throughout my tablet it's very very good our also works to hide the status bar with a single swipe.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StupidIdea:
If you have root, my app can hide/show navigation bar without reboot - GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Karbooo:
hey dude thanks for this tip it did exactly what i wanted!!!...I'm running CleanROM which i didnt want to change so i modified the build.prop file and it worked like a charm.

As for replacement for the soft keys I'm using the customizable pie keys from LMT launcher by a dude from tha XDA community: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 SICK app. :)

and Stupididea nice to meet you dude I bought your gestures app and i use it for my Galaxy S4 and the Nexus 7 it's amazing! especially with the side launchers...Is there any way to back up the custom gestures? i gotta do em everytime i flash :\.

My phone (an N4) has accrued a few micro scratches along the front and back, which has made me really consider getting a screen protector for it. Now, me being the paranoid person that I am, want to get one for my TF300 also, but have the keyboard dock.

I've had issues with cases in the past causing the edges of the protectors to rise and cause bubbling, etc. Would I be faced with the same issues using the tablet with the keyboard and a screen protector?

Same here. I bought several of the cheap screen protectors off Ebay when I purchased my tablet. Matter of fact, I use a case for my tablet and dock and am still using the same screen protector I put on it back before Christmas. From the looks of it, I won't need to be changing it out anytime soon either. It's still in great shape. :good:

[Optimus 7 General] Pupsterface:
Hi,

I was wondering if there was any chances that we could get to port Ubuntu Touch on this device in the future? Does the device meet the minimum requierements (RAM, etc.)? If so, since we already have a working CM10 and Ubuntu Touch development is based on CM10, how hard would it be to port Ubuntu Touch? Could about anyone do it, or would it require specific developing skills (that I most probably don't have)?

If porting Ubuntu Touch on this device is impossible, are there any ROM or tweaks to get some kind of watered-down version of Ubuntu?

Thank you in advance for you answers! :)
[Optimus 7 General] Pupsterface:
Update: I actually found something to keep me contended until we get the real Ubuntu Touch: Buzz Launcher can give me a home screen astoundingly similar to Ubuntu, though that is only for the home screen and not the entire device's components.

[General Questions and Answers] JasonKZLY:
Hey Guys...

I will try to describe my situation as accurately as my understanding allows me to: I am trying to root an LG Optimus Net – P690 running 2.3.4. The PC I am using to accomplish this is a 64 bit one and running Mint KDE 64 Bit.

So far, I have attempted rooting through the following methods... and failed:

Manual: psneuter doesn't work and GingerBreak doesn't work: it ends in some 'vold-something' and goes on for hours and days. Psneuter ends in a tragic something ioctl controller.

Super One Click: I installed Mono; downloaded Super One Click 2.2 with working ADB. First, I couldn't get Super One Click to respond when I press the “Root” Button; after some running around, I fixed that. Now, Super One Click responds; it comes as far as “Waiting for Device hangs there – completely unresponsive; Downloaded V-2.3: That ends in an hanging similar to the one stated above but on the right you have something “export-PS” - great progress.

An hour later, I read some post on some forum or website suggesting Shell Root and then, Root. Shell Root gets me as far as “Installing Busybox(Temporary) and – you guessed it – hangs.

Forgive me if this question has already been answered - I have yet to find it, you see. Isn't there even a single Homo Sapien(with a PC running Linux) who owns an LG P690.

All and any help will be appreciated with the most aggressive of clicks on the thanks button beneath your post.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sg3707:
Hi Guys,

My phone has become almost unusable.

It is currently on version 2.3.6, UCKK6 stock un rooted.

From few weeks I am trying to root it, reset it but nothing is working.

Already browsed through countless threads but to no use.

Below are the things I tried

1) Factory Reset through settings menu

2) Factory reset through stock recovery

3) Factory reset through *# code

4) Update firmware through ODIN

5) Update recovery through ODIN

6) Revert to UCKH7 through ODIN

7) Revert to UCKH7, tried re-partition option as last straw through ODIN

Once the phone switches off all the old data/baseband/firmware/files (before April 30th 2012) is restored and new data (after April 30th 2012) gets delete no matter what.

One thing I noticed while trying to factory reset was below message

Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'
