[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
I could never buy into a Ipad Mini2 if they keep the aspect ratio, 4:3 tablets are useless for me when 80% of my tablet usages are HD video playback.

On the other hand N7 2013 feels much better in my hand compared to the Mini which I tried a few times in stores, Mini is too wide(5.3") for me to comfortably hold one handed in portrait mode, N7 is significantly narrower(4.49") and lighter.

as for G Pad, +$120/+$80 over 16/32GB Nexus 7 is a bit too steep for the extra screen size & SD card slot. On top of the price difference it will be harder to root/unlock/restore to stock(in case you need to warranty return), and could never match a Nexus device's dev community in size. I would consider it if there is a Google edition for it, but not with LG 4.2.2 on it and unknown update schedule.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mustbepbs:
I think LG is serious about getting back into the tablet game. They wouldn't release a new device into a market they haven't had a presence in for 2 years without being serious about providing a good product. I think they know people will pass them up if they half ass it. The price is good, the specs are good, I think they'll try to keep up to date with Android.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
Everyone has a personal opinion, I always hold the N7 landscape and it's too wide (wider than the iPad Mini) for no good reason because of those huge bezels. If you hold it portrait, of course, it's narrower...to each his own.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
They are exactly the same width in landsacpe(200mm or 7.87"). Ofc the landscape bezel on Nexus 7 is outrageous and overdone, but not a major problem since my landscape usage are all video playback and the Kickstand Case takes care out that.

Surely you developed your habit of holding the tablet in landscape b/c Ipad Mini? The dimensions & bezels of Nexus 7 means it is better used in another fashion, if you are going to use it the same way as a Ipad Mini then ofc it won't be as comfortable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cderrick14:
I am in the same boat as the OP, I have a Nexus 10 and I am really getting tired of its size. My primary use for my tablet is reading, writing emails, and playing the odd game. I watch movies occasionally, but pretty rarely.

I once owned a 7 inch tablet and found it too small, and am definitely intrigued by the 8.3 inch Gpad, especially because of the aluminum backing on it. The new Nexus 7 seems pretty awesome too, I just don't think I could get used to the screen being so small, might even feel more redundant too because my phone screen is 4.7 inches. I am not entirely sure the extra 2.3 inches is worth it, but an extra 3.6 via the Gpad might just be.

Of course, the software on Gpad looks pretty gnarly, I would hope there would be some dev support so I could unlock, root, and rom it asap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Death666Angel:
Well, I have a 4.7" phone (Galaxy Nexus) as well and definitely feel the Nexus 7 adds a lot to the Android experience. I've tried a Note 3 with a 5.7" display and if I had that, going with a Nexus would have been less noticeable. As it was, I had a 10.1" tablet that was just too large to travel with me a lot (I took my laptop on the road instead) and didn't add enough for home use either. The Nexus 7 is small enough to travel everywhere in my coat pockets and somehow it gets more use at home as well, possibly because of the easy one handed use. The LG is more expansive, is not a Nexus device, and doesn't have LTE last I checked. Having LTE on the Nexus definitely helps my usage case.

If you can try out a Nexus 7, I'd definitely suggest to use it for a week or so and then decide of 7" is for you this time or not. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lomonic:
is the LG G Pad of a 16:10 dimension? I'm really happy with the size and narrow design of the Nexus 7. It's handy, fits into coats for men, and easily handbags for women. Personally i am loving my experience with the Nexus 7 other than the touch problems.

Some seem to feel the bezel in landscape mode is a little huge but i really find them comfortable. I have iPads and seriously they bore quickly with the same 4:3 aspect with what you can do with it and the same icons-laid experience - OMG please. Like a few others, if you're already on the bandwagon for HD videos / media, you'll be paying for a lot of pixels in an inch that does nothing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] looker1:
Having Sony Xperia Tablet S with 9.4" screen, and found it too big to carry with me. Bought Nexus 7ii and it is perfect size for me. Use it at work as well as private. At home, still using larger screen of XTS (and seriously thinking/dreaming about 12" display tablet)

Where is the problem with n7 about Web browsing.?

Most pages now are in 3 or 1 column. Hard to read 3 c. in one page, but easy to scroll and tap to zoom.

Just a shame Chrome not have text wrapping.

Some are set for portable device. (mobile like yahoo)

I got some examples here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dobbs3x:
Just bought a nexus 7 for a couple reasons. One is I like how it feels in the hands for how I use it as tablet. I have had a full size iPad for a couple years and it is great but just a tad big for what I want and like. It's easier to throw the nexus in my car and take it along and it's easy to hold at home for extended periods and it's a great screen size for b viewing movies etc on. The price was great too. And it's a nexus so updates are nice. And I trust Asus more than LG on tablet front right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
And what about battery life of the LG?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
No reviews yet, should see a few in November. However unless there is a Google Play edition for Gpad 8.3 I don't think I will ever get it, I can't deal with Optimus UI or the difficulty associated with small Dev community & possible difficulty to root/unlock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] msavic6:
So far the only battery test I have found for the GPad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] solnyshok:
there already 2 owners in the parallel thread here on xda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46836588

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mustbepbs:
I was at 36% today after having the screen on for 4 hours at 70% brightness. Total uptime was 13 hours. I've only been through a few charge cycles if that gives you any information.

Overall, it's about the same as I've gotten on any other tablet I've owned (N712, N713, N10, Note 8).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] noreaga2010:
Phone Arena have had their 8.3 review up for a week or so already (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9u62Komzfs). Looks a great tablet hardware wise, but software is a big stumbling block for fans of Stock.

how to root lg g pad 8.3?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cderrick14:
On November 3 it will be completely released. Right now it's just available online in the USA at Best Buy. I'd expect a lot more reviews, and developer support after November 3.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] woody1:
Looks like a root is already available. As far as development, time will tell. I'm betting that this hardware is so good that somebody will develop a custom ROM for it. Also, it uses much the same hardware as the Nexus 7 (except for the addition of a microsd card on the LG). They both use processors and graphics chips from the same family. And they both use a Slimport for HDMI output. Seems like that would encourage ROM development for the LG.

There's even a rumor floating around that an LTE version of the LG G Pad will be released as the Nexus 8. That seems unlikely, but it could happen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
a Nexus 8, or even just a Gpad Google play edition would mean me selling this Nexus 7 and hop over right away. But I have my doubts about it. It does seem to have similiar hardware(since the Nexus 7 SOC is just a lower clocked version of S600), but Nexus 7 have open sourced kernel and driver bindaries from ASUS, unless LG releases everything it will be hard to match the ROM/Kernel quality of Nexus 7 devs.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MightyT01:
Here's a pretty good review of the LG G Pad 8.3 from GSM Arena:

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g_pad_83-review-1004.php

Looks like this is the tablet for me. I already have the 2012 N7 and still love it, but just need a little more real estate, speed and storage. Spousal Unit has a Galaxy Note 10.1. While an excellent tablet, 10.1 inches is just too bulky for my tastes.

I also root all my devices but don't need the latest updated Android version or Rom to be happy. Constantly re-rooting after new upgrades can be a PITA sometimes. I really love the fact the G Pad has a micro sd slot. I needed one on my N7 on a recent road trip, but was limited due to the built in storage limit of 32 gb. Needed lots of movies on the tablet for the kiddos. Heck I've used over half my 64 gb of storage on my Razr Maxx just shooting HD home movies.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Spectredroid:
Just got my gpad. Bought it from best buy. It is really nice. It is metal on the back, feels perfectly balanced. Only had it for ten minutes, but it seems awesome. I would recommend it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
I prefer keep my money. Why have 2 tablets?

U run on gold guys or what?

Why people have always to change for tablet, people never happen with what They got?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wintermute000:
you sell your old gadgets thats how

I find myself changing tablets quite often, and I ALWAYS flip my old goods (i.e. sell the old one myself on ebay, not crappy shop trade-in value) so the new tablet becomes effectively half price. Often I've gone second hand and you end up spending very little in the end. My phone's from work so I don't have that expense either.

In general I sell every gadget I do not actively use anymore, unlike many people who end up with a drawer full of 2-6 year old worthless 'spares'.

I'm thinking of getting the new N10 when it comes out, purely because I need to read a lot of technical PDFs, and the 7" just does not cut it (but I prefer 7" for pretty much everything). I'll end up buying it then selling the N7 probably in a few months ROFL.

Finally, I can claim these as work expenses (I'm not even really lying as I do read work emails / work PDFs!)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] thezxz:
waiting for your review and more details!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
Dont worry guys. No need to change.

N7 is lighter, thinner, battery is better. More portable and easier to hand.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tung_meister:
Well I'll most certainly be getting the G Pad providing it get's a forum on here and CM support, I couldn't live with the stock ROM for very long at all!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cderrick14:
I feel installing a 3rd party launcher will go a long way to helping with LG's bad software, but yeah, a little CM would be amazing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
Launchers will help(from my experience with Bloatwiz), but once you drag down that notification bar you still have to deal with Optimus UI, and on top of all that a Software Menu button :silly:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dud3me:
By all means, get the device and try to get your own forums opened. Or at least discuss this in the android development section (there must be a thread for g pad already).

G pad has great hardware but I wouldn't trade my N7 for it. I'm not really sure if tablet is that necessary for me, but I love the fact that I get the latest updates and have a wide selection of roms. And I kind of like the 7 inch form factor.

I do think that g pad is the best non-nexus "small" tablet out there.

This discussion should be in Q&A section and even better place for it would be g pads own thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cderrick14:
We've definitely attempted to get a forum opened for it. I do feel bad to be using the Nexus 7 one to discuss another device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mustbepbs:
I've sent countless requests and we're practically flooding the new device request thread. We'd love our own sub forum.

We've also got another thread going in the Note 8 section lol.

I don't think they look at that new device request thread much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] marcotony:
the LG pad is worth it

yes, that extra an inch may not seem like much but it makes a difference. You'll be regretting it 5 weeks down the line if you dont get the LG pad 8.3. LG has no doubt overpriced it but the design and look of it makes the price tag worth it;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OneBlueSky:
It's all about what you do and how you like to get it done. Personally its hands down the Nexus 7 2013 for me. The way we use ours the battery life is epic, it feels great in hand, solid quality, gorgeous display, just love it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nikzDHD:
Both are good in their own respects. One is a 7" tab the other is an 8.3" tab, now that the LG has GPE it's a tough call. For us UK people prices are decent for both tabs. G Pad has the ability to expand memory, IR blaster, bigger screen which is better for websites and such, might only be 1.3" bigger but it makes a difference. I love my N7 so will stick to that but was seriously considering the G Pad, I'm happy with my tablet so whatever you choose enjoy either device as both run the common goal which is Android.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Nightf0x_007:
same question here ..... i will sell my note 10.1 2012 ... no updates for more than 1 year , we are stuck on 4.1.2 seems no updates coming ... so i have to choose between nexus 7 2013 , lg g pad 8.3 , ipad mini 2 but i hate apple devices , and the lg g pad 8.3 seems will be like note 10.1 no updates and low dev support here so nexus 7 2013 is the choice:good:

If the G Pad have LTE option, I'll get it.

7 inches is to small to read magazine. 8.3 week be perfect for me and yes, I can hold out with one hand. :angel:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tysj:
I had the chance to try out the 8.3 for a little over a week. As much as I wanted to like the hardware, the battery life, screen, and speakers were really terrible. The battery life was the biggest factor for me. Even though it was 4600mah, it was getting half of my Nexus 7's battery life at best which was really surprising to me given that it was just "stock" Android. Even after factory resets and not installing apps, it was still pretty bad. The dim screen on the 8.3 isn't so bad, but with the Nexus 7 next to it, it's really apparent. The lower PPI is not an issue at all, however, it still looks great. The speakers are pretty much useless unless volume is halfway up. If you can look past these and definitely need the larger form factor in a size that isn't much greater than the Nexus 7 (can still hold the 8.3 in one hand with my average to small hands), then the G Pad isn't that bad. It's very light for the size and the aluminum back gives it a really nice feel.

TL;DR: Have both Nexus 7 2013 and 8.3 G Pad GPE. REALLY wanted the larger screen but ultimately will be returning the G Pad due to its really short battery life.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ericcorp:
I have a completely stock AT&T Galaxy Note and it's doing a strange thing where it has no audio. I can't get sound at all from most of it, headphones, speakers, nothing. On bluetooth it works, though. If I try to play any audio files, youtube videos, or anything with audio it won't play it. Google Music errors out, saying I can't play the file, Youtube locks up, and anything else requiring audio just hangs as well. When I'm on bluetooth it works but is still unstable. It's like the sound driver is all messed up. I don't know if it's hardware, since when I attempt to play, it isn't just playing silently, it won't even attempt to play. It happened on 4.0.4, and I just updated it ot 4.1.2, and it persists.

Strange right? I've heard mention that a kernel can fix it, but I'm not sure where to begin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ptgptg:
If you are stock, and have made no modifications, try a hard reset and reinstall your programs one by one and check the audio after each program install. Maybe a program you installed is causing your issues.

Good luck.

Hey guys ive got a brand new htc one thats running 4.1.2. 1.26 firmware. For some reason I cannot enable lte. When I enter the *#*#4636#*#* menu and select gsm/wcdma/lte auto it will immediately switch back to wcdma auto. I know my sim card supports lte because my htc one xl gets lte. Anyone know how to fix this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
Have you tried removing and re-inserting the sim card? If your APN settings were somehow wrong, that could default the phone to WCDMA. If it still isn't showing up, you could always manually set your APN, and then try to enable LTE. Aside from that, make sure your MID (model id) supports LTE. If it does, then I would contact HTC either for support or a replacement.
