[Off Topic] I trust this communities opinion on this....

So I have went to the pages where this is more directed to but I want an unbiased opinion and who else should I ask.... YOU GUYS! I've had my epic 4g touch for a while now and am thinking of getting a tablet of some sort. I've watched damn near every review video on The asus TF700, samsung galaxy note 10.1, sony xphia s, yada yada yada.. I basically want to know which 9-10 inch tablet you would get and why. Anything to help me not go crazy... cause right now Im on the verge... The asus has a lot of quality issues, but has the best display, the note is just not what I need as far as stylus and productivity goes... I just want a good media consumption device that is good quality, fast, good picture and will last. future proof if you will. Any help is much appreciated.
So on that note... what do you guys think about the sony xperia tablet S?

From what I've heard, the best 9-10 inch tablet is the Asus TF Infinity which is the TF700.
I've heard that the note is plagued with issues but I've never heard of the TF700 having them. I know the TF201 has issues with Wifi and GPS but not the TF700 that I know of...

I got an acer iconia a500, yeah, its a bit older now but just about every port you could want is on it, its easy to root, and its a workhorse, got mine on craigslist in the box for $180

I would go with the tf700 infinity, even though I took mine back after wanting to upgrade from my Nexus 7. I don't understand how people use such a big tablet I have a laptop for everything my tablet won't do. Anyway its a great tablet though and it's getting Jelly Bean like right now, and it's pretty much stock Android no touchwiz or anything if you prefer straight up Android. I just researched this all and the infinity came out on top for me, or you could wait till the holidays and see what comes out. But that's you can always say that with tech.

I have the galaxy tab 2 and of i would buy another it would be the asus everyone else is talking about. Grant it i love my gt but it lags here and there and just little hiccups.

I appreciate your input guys, I also was interested in the asus TF700 but have heard there are some quality issues... maybe you can confirm. I have heard there is a problem with some of the sceens becoming un-flush and squeaking in some spots, coming loose or something, light bleeding, dust getting under them, there is one review from mobiletech on youtube comparing the asus TF700 and the samsung galaxy note 10.1 and the asus all of a sudden got some lines through the middle of the screen right through the photo she was showing. And its was about 2-3 months old. So my worry is after time or after the warranty is up, something like that will happen and i'll be F'd.
So on that note... what do you guys think about the sony xperia tablet S?

Media consumption, fast reliable I only can think of Asus Nexus 7 its 7" but what the hell...

Crazy as it may sound, I'm waiting to see how windows 8 tablets turn out. If I can slap a keyboard on a tablet and run ms office, I'm sold.
Otherwise, the a500 due to the price and rom availability.

Dude. It's an amazing experience. Been fortunate enough to have a couple different windows 8 slates and a surface in my possession for a couple weeks now. Seriously freaking awesome. I've been an android guy for years but do not think I will buy another android tablet (phones are another story, will not switch for the foreseeable future) after rocking this windows setup.
My fav thing to do with the more powerful slates is to install steam on them, load up all my games, then plug in an xbox controller and play games on an airplane... Boredom = never now.

GN2 being used atleast 15 hours a day

Ok, so after I got this phone on launch I enjoyed using it alot, everything was good but since it was the international version and I have t mobile my data speeds were too slow. Than the T Mobile version came out and I sold the international version and got this one.
Now this is a perfect phone for me. But since its so powerful and get almost all the things I need done on daily basis with ease, my question is, if I get rid of mt tab and laptop and just do all things on this device you think it will burn out. Will it be able to hold strong for a good year?
I do alot of emails, video watching, skyping, gaming, right now I have been doing all those things off this phone and havent touched my tab or laptop.
How heavy you guys been using this?

Due to my situation I did exactly that with my Droid X. My Droid X lasted the fully 2 years and more using it as my main and mostly only computer. My Droid X is still going strong. So I believe that Galaxy Note 2 can do the same. But with all computers they will show age sooner or later.
But yes, I believe Galaxy Note 2 can last as a main computing device for a year or two.
Titanium Backup shows 770 apps in my Galaxy Note 2 . I use it daily for most computing usage. The only thing I need is Microsoft Office (Word) for customized text boxes that I use sometimes within documents. And without a physical keyboard, word processing can be a pain. So laptop or a tablet with optional physical keyboard can come in handy with that. But otherwise Galaxy Note 2 is a nice daily computer device. Still a laptop or a tablet with optional physical keyboard can sometimes come in handy.
You can also turn your Galaxy Note 2 into a desktop type computer too. Adding wireless mouse/keyboard, large monitor, etc. Shows how far these PPC (Pocket Personal Computer) devices and Android OS have come. But still as room to grow.

I have been using it non stop so I could understand but it's always a good idea to keep your laptop imho.
It will definitely last a year without any problems. The only thing that seems to go after about a year or so is the battery so eventually you will need to get that replaced. Other than that it should be fine. But a backup device is always a good idea!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Yes, the battery will go. But you can replace the battery with no problem.

Thanks for the response guys. So I guess what I will do is buy a smart dock, sell my laptop and desktop n keep my monitor keyboard and mouse for smart dock, and make N2 my main computing device.
I'll keep my N7 for just incase moments. this will be fun, i love this phone.

[APP] Best Apps for Studying (Updated 10/13/13)

To all of the students out there, if you have wondered about the apps you need for education support. I have some in mind to come up with.
1/ Kingsoft Office
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng&hl=en
It's free, multifunctional, great support for words and excel document, powerpoint slides are good on it. It brings the feel of using Microsoft Office to Android.
2/ Evernote:
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&hl=en
Although many of you already know, I want to mention Evernote again, just in case.
3/ Smemo for N7:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n87vb44wtz2p2x1/SMemo.apk
Samsung made a good one here guys, I've tried many notes but the only ones that I liked are Keep and Smemo, and Smemo works fine on tablet. Asus has Supernote but I find it incompatible with Android 4.3.
4/ Myscript Calculator:
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.calculator&hl=en
This use your handwriting and transform them to formulas, very smart and convenient. Designed for tablets.
5/ Timetable:
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gabrielittner.timetable&hl=en
For better time management and take note on your daily routine, and classes, it's colorful and simple.
6/ Simple mind free :
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modelmakertools.simplemindfree&hl=en
Best way to memorize something ? Try Mind Mapping, it will simplize your projects, homeworks and lessons.
7/ Aldiko Book Reader:
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android&hl=en
I like Aldiko because it's beautiful layouts, Moon reader is ok too, both are great for reading PDF and .prc ebooks
8/ Papyrus - Natural Note Taking :
I add Papyrus because if you happen to have a stylus ( maybe some of the Adonit Jot series ), it provides you the best experience you'd ever had besides Samsung native S Note. It has pressure diferences, and it supports palm rejection in Samsung Note devices ( unfortunately the N7 doesn't have the features of a true stylus tablet ). If you ever use Asus Supernote then this one on par with Supernote in terms of the ability to make your notes truly amazing.
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus
9/ Dictionary (Free/ Premium)
There's a reason why this dictionary is the best, it has a powerful database, and you can get a lot of different meaings or uses, also with "word of the day", trending words and tons of cool and fun stuffs !!! The best English Dictionary I've ever used, and if you want the Premium content, the price is quite cheap for something this good.
1$ for premium : access to related words. $1.99 to Rhyming expansion.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dictionary.paid Premium
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dictionary Free
Hope you guys have a great time :victory:
10/ Ger-Eng Dictionary :
I'm learning German, so after a while having such problem with verbs. I find myself saved by this wonderful app. A must have if you're into German.
BTW if you want to unlock all of the words, you have to spend $10 for life time use, 1$ for monthly and about $5 for a year. I spent my $10, totally worth it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dic_o.dico_eng_ger
11/ Mantano Reader Lite:
This ebook reader kick asses ! The most beautiful interface, it even beats Aldiko or Moon reader. And super smooth pdf reading guys, beats everyone else too. About the premium features like Cloud services I haven't tried it yet, but there's one thing for sure : you don't have to pay for a Night Mode.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mantano.reader.android.lite
12/ Handrite:
I used to think I would never be able to use my custom made stylus like the S pen but this app brought me closer to that feel. This app is amazing for stylus user, it's been a while that I see something beats Papyrus.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.handrite
13/ myHomework:
You think you're studious ? Think again after trying this, it's like a secretary to tell you when will you have the next class, what's the homework is and all about, which class is next, sync with facebook or Google mail. It's like my mom.
14/ Autodesk Sketchbook pro/mobile :
Like to draw in classes ? I don't, but it's on sale ( yay ). I still love to doodle, and drawing is a skill to get girls too. Okay, if you're an artist you're gonna need this, if you're not you may need it sometimes. Buy it before it gets cold and out of sale.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adsk.sketchbookhd Pro version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sketchbook Mobile version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress Free version ( yes, Free )
15/ EveryCircuit Free:
A Multisim on tablets, Electronics geeks, I hope you'll have some fun on the go with it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.everycircuit.free
16/ Doulingo Free:
Learn yourself new languages without a teacher, beautiful interface, lots of fun, smartly organized, a sync system for all of your devices. It has tests too Google recommend it to me and I recommend it again. I help me with German a lot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duolingo
17/ Appsales:
Tells you whenever there's a sale, some of us have a limited budget. I've been among the poor, bros. I know how it feels
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.tsapps.appsales
That's all, if I find something cool I'll update ASAP

Actually carrying a tablet around is better for most of people, when you use the right apps, your dependence on Windows will fade away. Most laptops and ultrabooks are heavier than the heaviest tablet. I used my Nexus 7 as an dictionary, a "time-tablet", a note taker and an ebook reader, it fits on the college/university desk perfectly (which is really small ). The N7 is just like a medium size book to me and I can easily put it in the books (yes, awesome portability! ). You can concentrate on studying without being distracted by the true multi task devices like a laptop, the tablet is very simple,
And the last thing is the battery life, so maybe it doesn't replace your Windows machine, but it makes your life better. A worthy investment in my opinion.

It a must have, but Drive has many uses and I don't think it's focuses are in studying but more like working and medias. So I cast it away, those I mentioned before are the apps that you usually open first when you start and leave a class.

It will depend differently for most people based on their needs and circumstances. I think Android is great as a phone OS but Android tablets/hybrids (e.g. Asus Transformer, HP SlateBook x2) are not for me when serious studying and work is needed that requires multitasking and full functionality. The Surface Pro 2 tablet is something I'm looking forward to. Even though it will be heavier then 10" Android tablets, it is of an entirely different caliber with Haswell i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, HD5000, digitizer, and 9 hours of battery life; powerful enough to be a tablet plus laptop and desktop replacement.

Crazy lack of performance

I went into the Apple store the other day to play with the new iPad mini and tested out a game called raven sword. I remember thinking the graphics were pretty good so I bought the same game for my new note 10.1 when I got home. Immediately I noticed the graphics were no where near as good. Do I restarted the tablet and made sure all other apps were closed. I remember a thread here about asphalt also not allowing high performance for some people on this tablet. Sure enough I tried that game too and the high performance aren't even options. Making sure it wasn't just android in general I installed ravensword on my note 2 phone which has been on for days and has a ton of other apps open including two browsers with a ton of tabs.. the game ran flawlessly and looked the same as it did on the iPad. What the hell is going on here.. someone please let me know what might be throttling my note 10.1 2014 so much. I really like it and nothing can match the pen input but this really isn't okay.

Hey thanks for the quick response.. I thought the same myself so I waited a couple weeks then I saw this post where someone shows theirs with the high graphics performance options. Now I'm thinking it must be something wrong with mine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47889956

Yeah thats true. He owns the LTE variant with the snapdragon SoC (p605). I'm running the wifi only model (p600) and I am not able to choose high graphics in asphalt 8. I dont think there is something wrong with our devices. Developers didnt know how good the performance of the new exynos processor woud be... so they just prevented problems by making the graphics worse and the gameplay fluid

We don't have to blame Samsung but the App developers which still live (a) in a Apple world or (b) in the 80ies because they still didn't learn how to write Apps for Android in a proper way.
And because I also buy this game and write a mail to the developers, you maybe also should do it.
And in general this seems still to be normal that we have to wait until some Apps are "fixed" for this device. I have this also with my first Android tablet which was by most Apps recognized as a phone and later with the HTC One X where many games didn't work at the beginning. But I didn't expect that this "problem" still exists.
So, we have to wait and inform in-between the developers when a App didn't work correct.

[Q] I have an HTC One. Should I keep the Nexus 7?

I got a Nexus 7 (2013) for Christmas (non-LTE, 32gigs), but I'm not sure I want it. I already have an HTC One (Verizon, so who knows if and when I'll get KitKat), and suffice it to say, it's just a better device, spec-wise. The only reason to keep the Nexus 7 is for the tablet form factor and a 3 inch larger screen (which isn't that big of a difference). So I figure I should ask people who know better: What can I do on a tablet (or do more comfortably on a tablet, e.g. such and such game) that I can't do on my super slick HTC One? The only examples I can think of is the Commander option in Battlefield 4 and that Xbox SmartGlass will supposedly be cooler. Please try to convince me to keep the Nexus 7! Any advice is appreciated.

Whether or not you keep it should be up to you. I personally love having both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. Yeah my 5 is faster and better on the go, but I like the larger screen when I'm sitting at home or watching movies when I'm out, and the battery naturally lasts a lot longer.
So I'm not going to try talking you into keeping anything, but for some of us 2 devices are better than 1.

I have a HTC one and I am thinking of getting a nexus 7. They are different devices serving different purposes, I am planning to use my 7 for reading(not books but feedly), movies, some games, Skype. Yes, those cane be done on One, but hey, with a bigger screen, everything becomes so comfortable.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Since you already have it, keep it
You can use your tablet when you are at home browsing with wifi and occasionally playing games.
This is what I do with my n7

I have an Optimus G Pro, and an N7. I use them both in conjunction with each other, whether it be through Google sync with documents for college, or just plain watching movies, and browsing the web on the N7.
My OGP has a 5.5inch screen, and still the N7 seems like a monster compared to it. In all fairness, I usually use the NFC capabilities of both devices extensively, whether it be for web pages, or files that need to be transferred. I personally love the combo, and plan on keeping this duo, until the GFlex hit's the United States or Project Ara kicks off,.. Whichever first

This.
I have the HTC One and I jumped on a Nexus 7 deal last month because I found myself using my dad's iPad more than my laptop while around the house. Now, I pretty much exclusively use my Nexus while at home. The One is hands-down the device to take with you if you're and about, but the Nexus is perfect for home use (it even fits in back pocket while walking around my house).
I use my One pretty heavily over the course of a day, so the battery is pretty drained after work. The Nexus can go days on a charge, so it's ready for the trade-off when I get home if haven't kept my phone on a charger. Unless I need to talk to someone, the Nexus covers pretty much all forms of communication. I set up MightyText on my devices so I can text from my Nexus (or browser) through my One.
It's true, the Nexus isn't as well-spec'd as the One, and I'd even say the One's speakers are better, but for the price, screen, performance, dev community, and ergonomics, I feel that the two complement each other extremely well.

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

Of course keep it. Forget the specs, the N7 is a beast and handles everything you toss at it just fine. Plus, you can never have too many cool devices. Case in point- me. Not counting my actual computers, I have a Moto X, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Dell Venue 8 Pro, iPad Mini, and a Microsoft Surface Pro, and I use all of them fairly regularly. The N5 and N7 are the ones I use the most though.

Tbh, n7 looses very little to One performance-wise. I mean if you oc to 1.7 you get pretty much the same performance as the chip set is close to identical.
As everyone else here has been posting out, they're for different situations and uses. The real question is whether or not you feel the need for a tablet.

I just got my Nexus 7 (Christmas present) & really like it so far. It was by far easier to unlock/root/install custom rom & kernel than my htc evo 4g lte. I have an Ultrabook but wanted something smaller when I just wanted to hop on the interwebs or check scores. IMO, you should keep it.

I have a HTC one and I am thinking of getting a nexus 7. They are different devices serving different purposes, I am planning to use my 7 for reading(not books but feedly), movies, some games, Skype. Yes, those cane be done on One, but hey, with a bigger screen, everything becomes so comfortable.

Same here exactly...just today got the Nexus 7 and I already had the HTC One. The One screen is too small for browsing and such for a longer period of time on the couch. The Nexus fills that gap between the One and the stand-alone PC.

You ask this question as if they are similar devices. Keep it! I have both, and it's awesome.

One thing that hasn't been added is that it's like having two batteries when travelling. I recently didn't have my tablet for a flight and it's so annoying, having to moderate usage to save phone battery.

I got a Nexus 7 (2013) for Christmas (non-LTE, 32gigs), but I'm not sure I want it. I already have an HTC One (Verizon, so who knows if and when I'll get KitKat), and suffice it to say, it's just a better device, spec-wise. The only reason to keep the Nexus 7 is for the tablet form factor and a 3 inch larger screen (which isn't that big of a difference). So I figure I should ask people who know better: What can I do on a tablet (or do more comfortably on a tablet, e.g. such and such game) that I can't do on my super slick HTC One? The only examples I can think of is the Commander option in Battlefield 4 and that Xbox SmartGlass will supposedly be cooler. Please try to convince me to keep the Nexus 7! Any advice is appreciated.

Definitely keep the Nexus 7. You will not regret it. The truth is that a tab!et will open up a new and exciting part of android that you haven't seen yet. I JUST bought a Nexus 7 yesterday and already have a galaxy S4. I do a lot of my work from my phone and I cannot believe I didn't do this earlier. It is an entirely separate class of device and you will! Understand later why I am saying now that a question of either or is not a sensible question. At least give yourself some time with it to elite first. The nexus eerience is quit a bit different t as well. I'm not saying that one is better than the other,,, what I have quick!y realizes is that they are Twp entirely different devices with vastly different purposes,

Asphalt. I'm a WAY better driver on my N7 than my HTC!

How can you say that going from 4.7" to 7" isn't a big difference?
It's a massive difference when you're doing tasks that require bigger screens for more comodity such as web browsing, streaming media and playing those games that benefit from bigger screens (specially web browsing and streaming media really).
Also, you already have it, it's not like you have to buy it so I would say keep it. Only reason I would not keep it would be if I didn't really need the 7" form factor and could use the extra cash from selling the Nexus.
Otherwise the Nexus does everything the HTC One does but "better", because of it's bigger screen. Spec wise, I can't believe you see a difference because quite frankly you won't. Maybe on heavier games where a smaller screen tasks the GPU less but other than that, nuh huh.
And for the record, switching to the CleanROM 2.6 that is available here, I got my Antutu score from 20k to 25k which is just the same as the HTC One pretty much.

I would leave the Nexus 7

<------ Click "more info" (if you're on a browser) then guess what I'm going to say. :silly:
I had two HTC Ones and a Note 10.1 when I got the original N7 just as a "cheap toy" to play with. Surprisingly, I found that I could find a purpose for a 7" device even though I already had a phone and a 10" tablet. Then I bought a 2013 N7.
...I say keep it. The more gadgets the merrier! :highfive:

I have the One and the Nexus 7. For my use I use the N7 when I'm at home because of NHL Gamecenter/twitter and just general browsing because the phone is too small for extended use. Not something I'd take out with me in public unless I needed to. Both compliment each other well.
