So I sold my Transformer at a loss to get the Nexus 7 and I am not looking back at all.

 

Anyone get theirs at Staples with the $60 2-year complete warranty/accidentally damage deal? Sounded like a steal to me.

Did you really? I have a the original Samsung 10.1 and have been thinking about doing the same. I bought 4 of them for Christmas and none of them were for me :(

As a guy who used to frequent Frys in Northern California, I can tell you I have been around plenty of Frys customers who needed deodorant. Probably a good move.   Robert

Maybe. But I only want 7 inches. 10 inchers are too large. Let the jokes begin...   Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

Go for it man. I the Nexus 7 feels so much better in the hands than a 10in tablet. It will certainly an upgrade for you.

That avatar. I'm afraid I can no longer speak with you. :angry:

 

Just kidding. :lol: I might buy a Nexus 7, I really need some more Android in my life. Played with one at Sam's the other day, looks nice. Especially the screen. Rivaling my iPad's retina display, actually.

I've wanted a Nexus 7 for a good while. However, since I got the Note II, I'm having trouble justifying buying a tablet with a screen that's only 1.5" bigger. :unsure:

Ask a woman. She would tell you that those extra 1.5" make all the difference in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, I am talking about high heel length.

 

:P

I'd say mine comes to life once or twice an hour. It goes back to sleep in 30 seconds or so. It's frequency doesn't bother me. At night, mine is in Alarm Clock mode. So it is on all night long.

Timed mine out and the screen turns on every 10-45 seconds after it's turned off.

Have y'all installed better battery stats or something like that to see the wake locks? Or run a logcat to see if you watch what is doing it?

 

I don't recall my son's Nexus doing this but I will check it out on my 4 day weekend.

I'll give it a shot. I'm suspicious of MX Player since it has known issues with Tegra 3...

Anyone else think this dock IS NOT worth $40?

 

Personally, I don't even see the point in this. Since it has to be plugged in to the wall and doesn't have any built in speakers there isn't any difference between just plugging the Nexus into the wall or running a 3.5mm cable directly from the Nexus.

I wil stick with my folio case it adjusts to 3 positions in landscape or portrait. $40 is alot for such a limited dock. The lack of volume control from your nexus when using the docks audio jack is a joke people using head sets won't be very happy with it.

My only complaint with the Nexus 7 is the lack of 5ghz WiFi. Sitting in the Charlotte airport and can't use it now. At least the Evo has 5ghz WiFi lol.

 

Really? I have 5GHz WiFi in my house and I thought I was using it. But I may be on my 2.4GHz. Now I want to go home and check. LOL

Most routers broadcast both signals simultaneously so ideally users would never know, or ever need to know, which connection they were on. The Nexus 7 definitely doesn't support it though which is a shame. After 1pm WiFi is rendered useless at my job, and this is the first time I've been to an airport that has such bad WiFi congestion.

I title my 5GHz and 2.4GHz with different SSIDs though. So I can tell the difference on mine. I just use so many devices, that I may not have noticed the 5GHz SSID was not populating in available connections.

Nope. Nexus 7 supports only ISM 2.4 GHz, not U-NII 5 GHz. That was maybe my biggest disappointment about its tech specs, but I noticed the omission when the tablet was announced, so went in with full knowledge.

I do exactly likewise. I even include the terms "2.4 GHz" and "5 GHz" in my two separate SSIDs. The separate SSIDs preclude automatic handoff between the two, but I would rather manually control that anyway. And in the end, I really keep only my laptops on the 5 GHz network. Wireless printer, Wii U, and Nexus 7 are 2.4 GHz only. EVO LTE and HP TouchPad are 5 GHz capable, but I keep them on 2.4 GHz, too. Lastly, NAS drive and BD players are on Ethernet.

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
