I was wondering if there was a drawing pad app for the nexus seven that makes it like a bamboo tablet when connected to your PC? Thanks
Why?
Hi, I was interested in this too but then I wondered why? surely it would be easier to draw on your tablet using an app like Sketchbook Pro and then moving the picture to your computer if you really wanted it there?
The drawing pads and things you can by are designed to bring touch screen capability to a non touch screen device. Unless there is another reason you need to do this?
ease of access?

Because when using the regular drawing apps you have to see what you are drawing on a small 7 inch screen, and when on a desktop through an app like a drawing pad I assume it would have the capability of zooming in to see what I am drawing better.
I have been wondering the same thing. We all have these touchscreen devices, why has nobody come up with a way to use them in Apps on the PC or Mac like photoshop and stuff. If you are wondering how this could be useful here is a good example. I took photos for a friend of mine for his wedding. I took about 400 or so. I want to touch a good amount of them up and something like this would make it easier than transferring them all to my device first. The only problem is that I would love the spen feature that Samsung has so that I can see the pen on screen using the hover feature before I actually put it to the screen.

So you're planning on editing the photos on your tablet? Not a real editor?
You realize that Photochop CS2 is free these days, right? I would suggest you do that.
There was just a featured article on XDA about this the other day, about using your tablet as bamboo tab. Not sure why it wouldn't work... I'm not sure how accurate it would be but could be done in theory.
You are basically using your tab's touch screen as a track pad. Have you looked into all of those wireless Mouse programs on your phone?

I couldn't find another question or post containing this question before... and truth be told I haven't thought of using the mouse programs and such for this.

personally, i dont see any point on getting a tablet, because the smartphones now are
powerfull enough to do almost anything a tablet can do, and tablets arnt powerfull enough
to run, lets a say a full linux distro with gnome or kde (or windows 7) ,and they are not any more portable than a laptop really.especially the ones with large screens like ipad or xoom. and
i dont care how good the on screen keyboards are ,i still WANT a proper keyboard (thats why i got a desire z) you can also have a look at Lenovo thinkpads they are kind of like a laptop and
tablet merge togher and you will have proper device that can run any os you wish which also
comes with multitouch screen. but they are not cheap. so to sum up i think tablets are so underpower so locked down
and arnt any more portable than a laptop and you will end up with a java machine (android) or apple ios which is even worse ,instead of a proper OS. sorry about the long post guy.
tablets make me angry
Like the guy above, I wasn't sold on the idea of tablets until recently. It depends on what you use your smartphone and home computer for. But since having a baby recently, my wife and I have found ourselves at home more than before, and wanting to be able to do things like check email or lookup things on the internet without being stuck at a desk, or having a big laptop weighing you down while sitting on the couch. We found ourselves using our smartphones a lot, such as resting on the couch while the baby was sleeping. Which works just fine. But having a tablet gives you a much larger screen, which makes for more more pleasurable experience due to a larger screen to browse websites, watch video, etc. Its also makes the touch interface for many tasks much more usable. Using a tablet as an e-reader also makes much more sense than on a phone. Its closer to the experience of reading a "real" paper book, where you see a whole page, instead of just a fraction of one (forcing you to flip to the next screen really frequently).
Some people like to tote their tablets around everywhere. That isn't me, so far. I mostly use it at home. And when I'm at home, I use it more than either my smartphone or my desktop/laptop computers (although some people have been going this route). You probably would not find a tablet a suitable replacement for a desktop/laptop computer. As mentioned, they just aren't as powerful or versatile, and a more limited software selection. A tablet does what your smartphone does, just with a bigger screen. So if you find yourself using your smartphone and frequently wishing that you had a much larger screen, then a tablet might be fore you.
The tablet I have is the HTC Flyer, since I love the build quality of HTC's products. Its a 7" screen tablet, with Gingerbread (supposedly to be updated to HOneycomb "soon"). Not dual core, but its got a snappy 1.5 GHz single core Snapdragon. Its a great device, but HTC will also coming out with a 10" tablet later this year, so that one will be worth checking out, also. The ideal size for a tablet is a topic of much debate. The common tablet sizes now are 7" and 10", with the debate being primarily about having a larger screen versus the portability of a 7". Again, it mostly comes down to personal preference, and your intended usage.
The posters above me have very valid points. I too would like a tablet simply because, as stated above, I find myself not wanting to lug around my laptop. I'm not doing anything that warrants using a laptop like writing long emails, gaming, etc. I'm mostly sitting on the couch or lying in bed playing around on XDA or reading blogs or the like. I don't need this giant thing sitting on my lap heating my junk and lowering my sperm count! I love it, but I would like something else for this purpose. That being said I would wait for at least the holiday season or next year to see what's coming out. There are some good ones on the way, but I'd like to see them either come down in price or when they do come out, seeing the current ones come down in price.
Yeah everyone makes a good point here, if it a tablet had everything like sd card slot headphone jack etc plus a hardrive(or at least a port to connect an external hard drive) so you could say burn discs or download stuff that you couldn't on your phone and connect your phone to the tablet and transfer via usb. That'd be a nice tablet

If you mean a CD/DVD burner/reader, that's an optical drive, not a hard drive. Which are starting to become pretty irrelevant. With online distribution of games and movies, I hardly ever find myself using my optical drive.

You both have valid points ,but firstly not all laptops are giant, i have a 13" laptop
which is pretty light and i use it when in front of tv as well ,and it doesnt heat up if
i am doing the tasks that you do on your tablets.I take it with me everywhere and it has a very good battery life but at the same time, i play Crysis 2 on it when i am on the train. could i do that with a tablet?
however i do get your point. what i dont like is some poeple keep saying
tablets are the way forward and you dont need a pc anymore. lets face it
none of the mobile OSs around are good . i use android on my phone because the only other
options are win7 or ios, well at least android is opensource (usually).
But yeah they are just giant phones.
I don't see how they are useful or innovative at all, but that is largely dependent upon your needs as a user, and I do realize that there are situations where a tablet might come in more handy than a phone or laptop... I just don't think those few situations warrant toting around another $500+ device.
I have a company-provided iPad, my G2, a 15" laptop and a desktop... the iPad sees use maybe once every month. there are VERY few instances, for me, where a tablet has a specific advantage over one of my other devices that warrants busting it out... for instance:
-if I'm working on my car, it's nice to have the iPad laying around with a shop manual loaded... can't do that on my G2 because it's too small and I have to scroll too often. could do it on the laptop, but the touchscreen on the iPad is pretty slick for swiping through pages and whatnot.
-it's decent for taking notes in meetings/at school IF you have an external keyboard. I still don't think touchscreens are viable replacements for physical keyboards at this point if you're going to be typing a lot. even still, I prefer using my laptop for this.
and, on a side note, completely unrelated to the function of a tablet... how much of a tool do you look like walking around with a 10" glorified smartphone? I just think it's a silly fad that will die out. I mean, come on, I don't even have a usb port on my iPad... what good does that do me?
for me to seriously consider purchasing a tablet, they would need:
-sd card reader
-full-size usb ports (at least 2); usb host [of course]
-better printing capability (I know there have been some strides made here, but it's still not seamless enough for it to be useful in a professional setting)
-a few other things would be nice, but the above are most important to me
also, a "sliding" tablet with a physical keyboard built in would be killer.
Yeah I hate when htc and such puts out really good phones with no physical keyboard....

Sure, not all laptops are giant, but they are still much bigger and heavier than tablets, especially 7" tablets. I can be laying in bed, or on the couch, and have my Flyer sitting on my chest, reading an e-book, web browsing, or whatever. But of course, that situation, if it even applies to you, may not be reason enough to buy an additional electronic device.
I don't look at the tablet as being a replacement for a desktop or laptop computer, but as an additional device. I love me some PC gaming, and I do that on my desktop PC. I have a work provided laptop also. All these different computer devices get used for different things.
As I mentioned before, it all depends on your personal preference, lifestyle, and how you use your devices. In your case, if you have a smartphone, and a smaller laptop, I can easily see how those satisfy all the situations you encounter in your life. But for those looking for a device to fill the gaps, a tablet can be just that.

You are absolutely right, using the tablet for the things you said make sense .
but in my case it would just make me mad .because i have this habit that i always have
10-15 applications and lots of tabs open in different work spaces, even when i am not doing anything special.
and the other thing is now all this new tablets are coming out with dual-core and more rams and everyone going crazy over them ,the problem is they dont bring new functionalities because the software on them are basically the same ,they just do the same thing a little
faster and smoother. the only points that i see in tables now are some of the things the things you mentioned and all them can be done on a cheap $100 tablet ,so now what is the point of very expensive tablets with dual-core?, i still wont be able to multi task properly with android,ios,etc (HPs web os looked a bit better though) id rather use the $500-600 on upgrading my laptop or desktop.
Yeah, I can see how a tablet is probably not for you. Desktop or laptop PCs will not be replaced by tablets anytime soon. You simply can't use a tablet to do things like composing long emails or other documents, playing higher powered games, and utilizing complex software (like in my case, AutoCAD). Basically, tablets are good for web browsing and consuming media via a touch interface, and using simple apps. And that's really about it.
Has anyone with a stylus noticed that their stylus works fine when the charging cable isn't connected, but as soon as you plug it in the stylus input becomes very unreliable? Almost as if the screen becomes less sensitive while charging.
Mhmm, Ill have to test this...
Regardless of charging, has anyone experienced an overall lack of sensitivity with the GTab 10.1?
I bought it to be able to sketch on and was really disappointed with its lack of control.
I got the Jot Pro Stylus by Adonit and haven't tested another stylus yet.
Does anyone have the same feeling or an answer without rooting the tab?
I can help with this !! So a while ago I wanted to use my tab for writing and I got all of these apps to use as notebooks and I totally forgot about the idea. A few days ago while going through the top paid apps I noticed this app (link) and I totally forgot that I purchased it a while ago. While reading its description, I noticed that the dev said:
"Galaxy 10.1 owners: You must have root on your device and use TouchScreenTune (free app that fixes your touch screen sensitivity). Otherwise the writing will lag.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vital"
So I checked out the app (which is free and requires root) and people were praising it on how it works and how it makes stylus use a much more pleasanter overall experience through a lot of apps. Good luck and let me know how it goes! I haven't tried it since I don't want to root my tablet for now.
You need to root it and buy TouchScreenTune. otherwise, this device is so slow that stylus usage is unthinkable.
i have this kind of problem before.
I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1 by pershoot and try to compare with TouchScreenTune app. So far there is no different. If you on CM 10.1 don't waste your money to buy these apps.
Has anyone been able to use all of the features the Note 2 has to offer at least once? Anyone?
I feel like there is a wealth of things to learn with our Note 2's. It's to the point where I get exhausted and I try to see my phone just phone like any other Android device. But wait, this Android Device is in a unique class of it's own, :cyclops:
I have, I think. I use Multi Window constantly plus the S Pen. I also use Air View in the Web browser for those difficult-to-hit links.

It truly is, and I say that with confidence! If all prior Stylist were like our S Pens then CM would have a solution... and eventually they will, fore its a solution that they will be forced to deal with (as the S4, GN8, GN3, etc are released)...
It will be the day when the rest of the world (incIuding developers) wakes up and gets in line with what GNII owners have been experiencing for months now

Oh I've got to try that NFC payment feature! I have a package of NFC tags (thanks, samsung!) that I've been meaning to play around with, although I did reprogram the trial one. It's ok, but the tectile app is slow.
I have used the spen to take notes in my EE classes. It does work pretty well, but I'm not sure it's cost effective; You'll have to replace the pen nubs, and then the pen eventually, and some people say it can scratch the screen (although I don't see how) - but if you use screen covers, it'll probably go through those pretty quick! (From what I've heard, anyway)
OTOH paper is cheap, and pencils are cheap.
I've used multiwindow, but you can't just make every app multiwindow, and most of the time when I want to use that, it happens to not work with an app I have open I'd love if you could just turn everything into floating app windows (or cards like webos!) but those are already kinda.. sorta.. options on android too
I've even used the included in-ear headphones that we t-mobile customers are lucky to get! AFAIK the AT&T customers don't get them, lol. They sound good if you jam them in, but I don't like this whole jamming rubber+plastic into my ear thing.
Oh yea, and it's still really fast. I've played around with it a lot, and loooove that.

I have an original Motorola Xoom and love it, but it is starting to get wonky (the charging plug is loose, it doesn't want to turn on sometimes, etc.). I use it primarily for web browsing and reading articles on Pulse. I tried a Samsung 7 Plus a couple years ago and hated it, graphics were awful and I couldn't make the transition from a 10 inch screen to 7 inch. I don't really play games on it, I may occasionally read on it (I have a Kindle Paperwhite). So, my question is whether the better resolution on the Nexus 7 will make up for the decreased size. It will be a LOT clearer than my Xoom but a smaller screen - how satisfying is web browsing on a 7 inch screen?

Hm, I never could get the hang of using a 10" tablet myself (1280x800 Chinese tablet with good performance from a RK3066). It was just too large for using it while on the go (I either used my phone or a real 11.6" laptop) and it was too small for usage at home (I have a comfortable desk with a 27" 1440p monitor). Using the 7" at home is great because it is always on and I use it while on the pooper or in the kitchen cooking. I also use it on the go more than my phone because it is LTE enabled with its own SIM card and fits in my inner jacket pocket nicely. Browsing the web (anandtech and some random articles) and using apps is terrific. But I always thought that browsing the web on a 10" tablet was kinda wasted. Most websites aren't optimized for the 10" landscape view and portrait was awkward. So I would always wish to use the browser on one side and something else on the other side the few times I really used it.

Best tablet ever.... Love it.
Thanks all! I bit the bullet and bought one this morning. I won't have a chance to play with it until I get home tonight. The Xoom charging plug is loose and disconnects half way through charging and I am tired of it. I did have a chance to try the browser at Staples and I found it easy to read. I got it at Best Buy and was told I have 15 days to bring it back if I decide I don't like it.

Make sure to report back your view on it as I'm sure it'll help others coming from a similar device.
My first thoughts, after a couple days of ownership - I like the portability, lighter and easier to hold. I have the WiFi version, so I really only use it around the house. By the same token, the larger Xoom wasn't a huge hassle since I wasn't lugging it around with me. It is easy to read web pages as I am browsing, I do miss the bigger view of the page with the 10 inch tablet, though. Lighter means I can hold it longer without fatigue. I would have to say that so far I like it but not love it. It is growing on me though. I still prefer reading on my Kindle Paperwhite over either of the tablets, too. I'll check back in a few days.
Can anyone explain how this is a feature? I mean it doesn't bother me. But the more I think about it . The less it feels like a feature. And more it feels like something fishy. I don't know enough about stuff to understand access to data under a proprietary feature. But at the bare minimum I've never thought you know what this phone needs is that small crappy front facing camera to be in the display . I think I prefer it not there at all since the phone opens the back camera is sufficient for both. End of the day I believe this will be my last samsung. I hate the front screen and inside screen is cool and impressive but still kinda annoying. In my mind these devices should come with all the quirks ironed out. I still enjoy my note 3 rooted as much if not more. And the note 20 ultra was a solid device but wasn't a big upgrade from my 10+. Bare minimum samsung not including accessories is just lame. I would have probably made the closed screen slightly larger for easier use on the go and then the use on the inside screen for less often use in casual settings.
Just my thoughts a month in and was curious to hear others thoughts. I know it's probably and amazing device for someone who doesn't upgrade frequently but as someone who does it was probably the device that has ended my desire for new and cool over tested and true. .
Anyone stumble across any lesser known features or functions that aren't well known?
Customization wise:
I use wavelet and my bose in car sounds amazing.
And have good lock/nice lock until hex is functional again.
Ad block
and system ui tuner that doesn't seem to be adding much
and I tried to see if I could use adb and 3c but it doesn't seem to improve much or increase any functional use but I just had it long ago and thought I'd see if it was useful
The latest update has improved my mobile service in rural areas near by sprint on tmobile experience
I haven't debloated because honestly the device probably wouldn't improve much with less and I'm kinda waiting to understand what all is needed until my account is fully tmobile. I assume nothing they have changes much but since it can't currently be unlocked on tmobile side I'm curious to how it's locked since it's not supposed to be sprint sim compatible. But still has the sprint unlock uicdd on device hidden with tmobile unlock visible. I also hope someone comes out with a case that has a tiny bluetooth keyboard , I think that would be kinda cool.
Ok
I know that for everyone, no device is perfect. As much as I LOVE this Fold 3, it's not perfect, but it's about as close as a mobile device has come for me. Then again, I know that I am also an edge-case as I use my Fold 3 in a way that most others do not. I use it as a Mobile Office. I call it my 3-pocket-laptop (look on YT for a video titled 4 pocket laptop to see what I am getting at).
I have a foldable BT KB with Trackpad, folding Tablet Stand and a 20kMah battery pack I take along and I can literally work from anywhere I have signal. I even made a portable, battery powered monitor (from an old Laptop and some parts I had to order (controller and the like)) I made that I can stuff in a backpack and have an even better experience when on the go. I no longer need to carry my work laptop with me with this setup.
So yeah, I get why it may not work for you, but for me, I love it.

Pics please! I've seen the Mr Mobile video you're referring to, that was a fantastic idea!

I know that for everyone, no device is perfect. As much as I LOVE this Fold 3, it's not perfect, but it's about as close as a mobile device has come for me. Then again, I know that I am also an edge-case as I use my Fold 3 in a way that most others do not. I use it as a Mobile Office. I call it my 3-pocket-laptop (look on YT for a video titled 4 pocket laptop to see what I am getting at).
I have a foldable BT KB with Trackpad, folding Tablet Stand and a 20kMah battery pack I take along and I can literally work from anywhere I have signal. I even made a portable, battery powered monitor (from an old Laptop and some parts I had to order (controller and the like)) I made that I can stuff in a backpack and have an even better experience when on the go. I no longer need to carry my work laptop with me with this setup.
So yeah, I get why it may not work for you, but for me, I love it.

I saw that video and thought it was completely awesome what he did with the Z Fold3 and turning it into a complete desktop solution and even his Microsoft only co-worker was impressed with it.

I'll get some pics up soon. I am redesigning the "monitor" case now and want to have an all-in-one unit to show off.

Yeah, I am former MSFT myself and several people there want me to try the same thing with a Duo 2 (which they are sending me) and do a comparison. This will be fun!
