ebay selling the original KF for 99 bucks today. thinking about getting one but want to know if its worth it or should i just spend 200 for the nexus 7? any advice?
Hey buddy,
Ask in the general forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1307, since your question doesn't relate to android development, people here will just tell you to go buy an iPad already.
Hey man,
I think that you should probably just get an ipad.
What can you afford?
If $99 is all you can afford, then go for it, but don't get it just cuz it's cheap, that's not why a person should buy a tablet.
If you can afford it, the Nexus 7 is currently the best android tablet money can buy at the moment, because of support, features, performance, etc.
If you want a really good tablet experience though, the iPad is hard to beat in terms of support, amount of apps, screen quality, performance, battery life etc. etc. Unless you need a particular android feature, and you can afford one, iPad is the way to go.
whoops not sure why i posted this in dev. meant to go in Q&A. thanks for the advice ordered the ipad
Heh

better get an Nexus 7. Or the KF2
I got mine for 79 including shipping on a referbished special. BUT I bought it mainly for reading at night which my older Kindle with 3g is not good at. After rooting and shared launcher I was pleasently surprised that compared with my larger tablet it was easy to grab for quick trips that I might need to do some browsing. Also its easy to watch movies and access prime through tether on my phone. If you want to spend 99 bucks on limited use than go for it.

General question, for those who have lapdocks and decide they want to get rid of it, whats the best way to go with selling it.
On ebay I see them listed, I never see anything really getting sold and nobody really lists them up.
I'm thinking about auctioning it but I am worried about how much I would lose.
Anybody on here have any experience on selling there lapdock?
Thanks

I bought mine on ebay for 90 used some time ago, and most of the listings on ebay get sold for around 100. Depending on the condition, I'd expect to sell it around 70+ maybe, price dropped a good amount lately.
Id actually be interested in buying it from you. what kind of price are you thinking
I'm happy to sell it for any fair price, its barely been used its in great condition but now I'm feeling pretty sad looking at those prices.
I purchased it for a hefty 500, I was being optimistic hoping I could get rid of it for at least 150-200 but I'm more then happy to get rid of it at the 125 mark if your interested.
I'll be sending it from australia but I have the adaptors for the US as well since I brought it from there.
Inbox me if you want to discuss the item further.
This is very depressing but I can live with it
This needs to be posted in the marketplace forum. Not here. Doesn't anyone read the forum rules anymore??
It sells refurbished for 90 dollars after shipping, any more than that and you're ripping someone off.

no, not really.
people sell their items for what they want. a + $35 range wouldn't necessarily constitute a "rip off".
refurbished < used i think, depending on owner, of course.

Refurbished is used, plus it's been inspected to make sure everything works.

A lot of the times refurb units are the ones that something breaks on and it's been repaired which should be cheaper than original that has never been opened.
Anyways, I just saw this thread and I also have a ladock that I don't use. I used that lapdock with another Atrix that I have with broken screen and used it as a wi-fi laptop browsing kinda thing. I'd be interested in selling it too if someone is looking for one.
Thank you and good luck to op.
sorry i didn't mention it before, but i'd be more than interested in buying a laptop dock from someone on XDA, i would just want a good deal from risking my money from someone i met on a forum, when i could get a perfectly good refurb unit from a reputable dealer for a cheaper price than offered.
I'm an AT&T US One X owner and am wondering if the MediaLink is worth a purchase. I'm seeing some mixed results in the other thread but this is definitely a big part of owning an HTC One phone.

only one that could really answer that is you, i mean having it for just having it or get some real use out of it in which case there are better, cheaper options out there.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
want to put your content on a bigger screen? watch movies on a bigger screen? show off your apps and features on a big screen? If your answer is yes to one or all of these then it is worth it. otherwise don't bother
Only reason I'm asking is because some people reported that its buggy and doesn't work 100% correctly.

Actually, it's not much of a feature of the One Range, and I couldn't justify paying over £20 for it let alone £70, I just use my HDMI cable and adapter
HTC Media Link HD - First Look
Love it .
I've just ordered the eu version from amazon UK for £54 which I think is a fairer price. The earlier model is only £10 cheaper. £70 was way over the top for this device when you consider how much you have already spent on the device

I don't know if you've read my review, but I find it useful. I've actually found myself streaming music to my av center through my tv when my pc is off. Very easy and like other users have said, the rest of your media on a big screen is fantastic and easy and wireless! £54 is a great price too I think it's definitely worth that much.
Personally i would buy a device that works with DLNA for any device, so not necessarily the HTC MediaLink. If you ever switch from HTC to Samsung for example, you still be able to use it. It's kinda of a waste of money if it becomes useless when you switch brands. MHL adapter would also be a nice choice.
it seems like a good thing to have at home to show off to your friends, but beyond that i think that the hdmi and adapter option is cheaper also less prone to lag. Will tell more once it finally launches here and i get an opportunity to use it
Seeing that I paid $504 for mine, and google play store is $399 I still consider this a good deal.

wow didnt see that, for anyone with an Amazon Prime account can pay $3.99 and have it shipped next day. Thats what I did when I purchased mine, still works out cheaper than Negri's other shipping options if you wanted it quicker.
Still a good deal on the device either way.

Especially if you're a student, and get the lower level Amazon Prime for free (just the 2 day shipping, no instant video perk). I'll take it!

I'm looking on amazon now and I don't see a white nexus that is prime eligible. Am I missing something?
It was prime when I posted the original thread. Don't know what happened. I ordered mine from the same vendor a month ago on prime..

Someone in the reviews mentions that it has a different android build than the one sold by Google play....would that be a problem??

Mine had yakjuxw. Isn't a big deal if you flash it to yakju, takju, or just use roms.
I actually just bought a white one today that was posted on amazon. I found out that they're in Chicago so I drove out and bought one. Couldn't be happier with my white Prime.

I never knew the white one was supposed to be more expensive. I just paid RMB2550 (402.98 USD) for mine last month. Now I like it even more!
I paid RMB2450 for my wife's black one two months ago.
I ordered one off of negri for 430. Took about three days to arrive.. Unfortunately it seems to have noticeably more lag than my other gnex
Gonna have to exchange it
just bought my "white chic" GNex for 375€ (tax included)... here in Italy/Europe is the lower price you can find to date ...
waiting it to be deliverd
I was really impressed from new HTC one X and S design (specially the one S) but they are yet too expensive ...
Mine came with "yakjuxw" and im still on that build. Fricking thing works so perfect, i dont even want to mess with it.

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

I am always willing to pay a little extra to get it from the states. I order stuff because I want it now, not in 3 weeks. I have my eBay app set up to show only US sellers for that reason alone. I know it's all the same stuff. I contacted Amazon about putting that feature into their app twice, with no response

Hey guys,
Is the date already published for the release of the find 7 (premium version) ?
I mean the 7a is already available so it should not take so much more time.
Any news or website which is up to date and can inform me directly in the case of release
Thx
I think I read late April, but I can't remember where I saw it!

Ok. Thanks.
But isn't it a little bit strange that there are no information about a release ?!
I mean if you are right and it will be released at the end of this month there should be anything official or not ?
They keep it secret because they want to sell some 7a's first I guess. If you ask me I don't even know why they made a Find 7a in the first place.

I think the QHD screen still needs some tuning/calibration work from various rumors I've heard.
The 7 doesn't have enough extra CPU power/battery to drive the extra resolution without performance/battery life compromises anyway, so it's going to be for the "spec epeeners" - the 7a will be a superior day-to-day device.
The 7's screen will require almost 2x the memory bandwidth and GPU power to drive its display compared to the 7a.
@Entropy512 Thanks now I am convinced that I made the right decision to order the 7a and not wait for the 7.

while what you said is true, I'm still having some difficulties accepting that since even the weakest integrated graphics from 2010 desktop PC can manage to handle daily PC operation even with UHD displays, I don't play heavy games on my phone, so is it absolutely true that the 801 will struggle with QHD display even just for average phone usage???
battery life is another matter though, true.
It's twice the pixels but not power since each one uses significantly less. Still it's going to be more, xactly how much more power won't be known into they can be compared. The screen isn't the only thing pulling more power, the extra ram will be a user as well. I would be looking to the a for sure if I was a 3d gamer but I'm not. I'm taking a wait and see approach.
While the extra resolution may be worthless to some it is not useless. It allows you to blow up the screen more. When you whipper snappers get older you will appreciate that more than you do now.
I thought so too. Thats the reason why I have pre-ordered a find 7a today
And like it seems many guys in different popular forum are doing it like this.
I mean the 3gb of RAM would be nice, but like everyone say it is not needed. Also the 32gb internal storage, because you have a sd-slot.
A further thing is that the bigger battery also fits in the 7a (epic)
And if the 7 is published I am going to buy the backside, which hides the battery, because I like the carbon or carbon-style of it
The only thing which is worth to think twice is for me the fact that my HTC One M7 has a PPI of 461 and the 7a has a lower ppi (401) with the same resolution :/
Any opinions/ recommendation ?
Quick question... for those of you that preordered...did u get charged right away or will u be charged when it ships??? I'm ready to pre order this but wanting to know if I'll be charged now or later...

Life is always trade-offs. I was used to carry an extra higher capacity battery for the Note 3. On my current HTC One (M8), it is hard to believe how much better it manages battery, even not using the stock power saving settings. (not missing that extra battery when on travel.
As to the shipping date Oppo responded to an email stating that it would likely be at least early June before product shipped. Since the screen supplier just now has started production of the screens we know those are not in hand yet implying April is certainly out. Oppo has their own forum where there is a little more information available than here for the moment, some of you might be interested in taking a gander. http://www.oppoforums.com/forums/find-7-product-discussion.111/
