[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
They're exactly the same interface and software wise, except some apps are displayed in tablet mode, which is usually better but sometimes worse. Another difference is also that in landscape, the virtual buttons are portrait on the right on Nexus 5 and on Nexus 7 they are landscape on the bottom, wasting precious screen height. These virtual buttons are the only thing I hate about the Nexus 7, after removing them with apps in the Store, you gain a lot of screen space. However, Nexus 5 is 16:9, while Nexus 7 is 16:10, so the visible screen is more or less the same in the end.

I mostly use it in portrait mode because of that.

As I said, that is the only thing that bugs me about it. Otherwise, it's a great little tablet, great size for watching movies, series on the go (or in bed), it should play all games available in the Store and do all other unproductive things you can do on a tablet.

I had a 2011 Xperia Arc S before, and with it's single core CPU it quickly failed to play latest games, that's why I resorted to the Nexus 7.

Nexus 5, however, is newer, has the latest hardware and is capable of playing anything you throw at it, so getting a Nexus 7 is really only for extra screen size, but it does pay off. Maybe diagonal isn't the best measure, try screen area:

Nexus 5: 69 cm^2

Nexus 7: 142 cm^2

So the screen is actually double the size of the Nexus 5, and it's noticeably bigger when watching videos.

If you're going to mostly use it to watch videos, get the N7, if you're primarily going to surf the internet and read documents and such, I'd recommend you to check out the 8" tablets LG Pad 8.3 and Samsung 8" (tab or note), both come with buttons on the side and therefore have more vertical pixels (both 16:10).

Then there's also 2013 Nexus 7, with latest chip and 16:10 fullHD but it's quite pricier then its 2012 brother.

Why would you need a tablet for anyway? If you want it because it's popular, then forget about it. If you have other reasons, write them down, it's easier to recommend that way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmn6:
I would highly recommend the original Nexus 7 (as long as you don't need HDMI out) ts still a great tablet and works well and you can get it for a great price. I would highly recommend you DON'T get the 2013 it has known defects with the screen (do some research).

should I buy Nexus 7

It works great for me, it is highly customizable, gets latest android,price is great for the 2012 model.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpkg:
I own both, Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2012). Have to say that N5 screen is awesome, but still N7 screen is nice and totally usable and it's so cheap, that you can later easily change to some other device if you want.

One good thing is that, the Nexus 7 is still supported by Google so you get official updates at least some time. When Google drop support, then you can always use custom roms.

Personally I buy only Nexus devices, because they get always best support from Google and maybe best community support.

Is there any noticeable lag if using the stock 4.4.2 ? For example newer games etc
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpkg:
I don't play much games, but on normal usage stock 4.4.2 is working smoothly without any noticeable lag. And yes, you can't compare speed to N5, but old N7 is not bad at all if we compare example to N4.

Do you have some free example game(s) what you mean? I can test and let you know is it working smoothly or not... :) Maybe this info is useful to [MENTION=5667281]BNNEBULA[/MENTION] too.

Hey guys,

I've recently rooted my I9500, mainly to remove Samsung bloatware.

After I deleted the bloatware, I came to notice that I no longer have the Samsung Keyboard.

I probably deleted it or its related files by mistake in the /system/apps folder.

Any way to restore it? (without reflashing the rom)

Maybe someone could upload the necessary files so I could copy them into my device?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houndcatcher:
I've just come across an issue but I'm unsure if it's something I've done, my phone, a Rom or Dual booting!!

My Primary appears fine but my Dual and Multi1 have lost contact with the internal SDCard but external is fine.

On my Mac when using Android File Transfer the same happens.

Any ideas as to what has happened? I can boot into the 2 other Roms fine but get warnings about insufficient storage available. It's all worked fine for ages and all of a sudden this happened. I've deleted Apps and even one of the Roms just to see if it is just the space is all used but I'm sure it's a mount or link issue maybe?

I've asked in the relevant Dual Boot thread but thought I'd ask here too just in case it's a problem that crops up when booting a single Rom too :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houndcatcher:
Reinstalled the least used Rom in Multi1 after wiping everything and it is now working again. 2nd Rom in Dual is my usual Rom and has stuff that I can't seem to save easily unless I do a full Nandroid backup but then there is a chance I will reintroduce the problem when I restore :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EIAIZ:
Not dual rom

Your problem is not due to dual rom because i habe same problem. I have one rom but my internal SD Card seems full but when i check the files min 4 GB suppose to be free.

Did you solve this problem? Could you tell me if you find the solutitons?

CM Installer

I tried to use the CM installer but it gave me an error, If i where you just flash it through CWM or TWRP its much easier (for me that is)

When i first flashed my I9300 (S3) i never backed up the EFS i just never felt the need but i had been flashing roms for around 2 years, but for a beginer it may be wise to back it up.

Also If you want to backup your stock rom you can create a nandroid backup or just backup your info and if it goes wrong then you can just flash it back to stock 4.3 through odon.

Hope this helped?

Let me know how it went.

Rooted phone suggest backup EFS via Philz Recovery or EFS Pro see posts .

from the sticky

How do I backup and restore /efs?

There are a few methods to backup /efs, but they all require customisation of your phone. Either root access, or a custom recovery. I appreciate that many of you do not wish to root your phones and just want to flash official ROMs via Odin... Well here are your choices:

Only use OTA or KIES to update (Official Method)

Root using CF auto root / Framaroot - backup efs and THEN flash via ODIN

Flash a custom recovery via Odin, backup efs and THEN flash a ROm via Odin

Risk it. Don't backup efs. Simply flash via Odin and hope for the best

...and here are the options for backing up / restoring efs (this list is not exhaustive)

EFS Pro - App needs root

SGSIII EFS backup / Restore - app runs from Windows / Linux and needs root

kTool - app needs root.

Philz advanced CWM rewcovery - custom recovery can take efs backups using the "Custom Backup" feature.

It's worth noting that some custom ROMs will give the option to backup efs, but you can never have too many backups!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangevenom:
Oops

I forgot to say about Philz recovery amazing recovery i advise anyone to get it but yeah this will work to backup the EFS but you have to be rooted.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-OtiK:
I just recently purchased my Nexus 5 from T-Mobile. I did a Google search in regards to the Wifi Calling feature that T-Mobile offers and the general info that I found was that it was not a feature that was included because this phone isn't programed by T-Mobile. I also saw that there were a couple of older threads that may have had some code and things like that, that could lead to this feature in the future. Has anyone been successful in doing so or is this something that's just not going to happen? I didn't do a whole lot of research in regards to carrier support before I purchased this phone but knew this was the right decision just based on the phone itself. Thanks for any info you can provide. I apologize if this question was answered, I promise I read the whole thread for noobs for this phone before asking lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aling77:
Hi

I just installed ParanoidAndroid 4.0 on my galaxy nexus and it all went well and I really like some of the new features.

After taking my SIM from my other phone (another SGN but running 4.3) and installing it in the upgraded phone I found the "SIM network unlock PIN" message on startup. This phone worked fine on 4.3 prior to flashing.

I have spent some time looking for the solution and have tried the following.

- Wiping and Reflashing ROM

- FuxkDocomoV3.1 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1548210 (keeps FCing, may not support 4.4)

- Tried to get Samsung_IMEI_Unlock_v1.2.2.rar as per here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiduCD32bUE, but gave up very frustrated with the website and the adds/surveys.

- Also considered trying Samsung Network/Sim Unlock Code Generator/Patcher from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731931

I don't have a problem paying a bit of money for an unlock code/application if it fixes the issue. I have read that 4.4 may have some type of region lock and I am worried that this may be the problem and therefore the unlock code will not help.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can try or maybe a copy of Samsung_IMEI_Unlock_v1.2.2.rar. If a unlock code is required, any recommendations of which site I should get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
I would first try out flashing a known stable 4.3 ROM first and see if the issues persists. If it still does, go and reflash factory image and see if its still SIM locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aling77:
Well I flashed the stock 4.3 jwr66y and still the same problem, network locked. Where to from here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Sorry man. I'm not too sure. My phone never had this problem. And since you flashed stock 4.3, why don't you try flashing stock 4.0.4 and try the FuxkDocomo you mentioned. Back on ICS days, people used this app to unlock. Do be careful and backup your /efs using TWRP though before you touch that app as some people have lost their IMEI using that app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electrons:
Locked or Blocked?

This seems similar to an issue I had.

Before you flash anything else, check your IMEI number matches your sticker on the back.

I recently found that I had corrupted my onboard IMEI, and did not have a saved backup of this.

I had to ship the phone to a repair shop in Texas to get it repaired.
