Develop Bugs

[Q]

Hello guys please help me out.I am in a dilemma as to whether I should i buy Nexus 4 it Nexus 7(2013).I was told that smartphones normally get more no of custom Roms than tablets and they also get OS updates for longer than tablets,you guys say this is true?And I am a lot into custom Roms and such things.But android for Nexus 7 has some nice Exclusice features as well!
Your response could help me buy the right one,please

Nexus 5.

Of you want a smart phone, get the nexus 4. If you want a tablet, get the nexus 7. They both will get android updates at about the same time.

Isn't the underlying question more important? So you need a phone or a tablet?
Either way though. Its a bit weird asking people what you should buy without saying what it is your looking for.
If all you care about is updates and custom roms...since these are both nexus devices, their going to be about the same.

Tethering to the Xbox 360 slim

Does anyone have a solution to being able to do this? It doesn't connect saying it can't get an ip address.
People say that it's because of the drivers put in on 4.2 (they are right it seems, I can get it to connect on a4.0 and 4.1 rom.)
Any sort of workaround other than downgrading. I'm tired of bridging it through my laptop

WiFi tethering should work.

I do it all the time and works good. Check your internet setting on the Xbox. I just have them set to auto. The NAT might not be open but it isn't strict either.

That's weird. Could I ask what rom you're running?
I can tether to everything but my Xbox. I have everything set to automatic on it.

AOKP milestone 2. you can find it on their website. It is kinda old but very stable.
4.2 rom

I haven't been able to get a tether with my nexus on any jelly bean 4.2 or higher I've just decided to stay on 4.1.2 forever since this issue doesn't seem to be a focus of the devs

Yeah, I asked one Dev and he said that if its a problem with the drivers there is nothing they can do

Tethering also doesn't work for my Xbox slim , the last it worked was on ics

New Nexus 7 - Stable ?

Hi Friends,
I need to buy a 7'-8' tablet and being a fan of nexus, started with nexus 7 2013 32GB(22K) vs Samsung tab 3 T311(24K) and budget is ~25K (india)
But could see lot of forums pointing to random issues in new nexus 2013 device. I couldn't see any other helpful place to ask this question apart from XDA friends
Will rooting solve rebooting, hanging, touch issues in nexus 2013 device ? or can you suggest some other stable tablets in 25K range ?
Please putforth your suggestions friends.
PS: I am getting this tablet for my Parents/Brother and I want it to be stable mostly used for skype, heavy gaming and browsing. Thanks in advance

The touch issues have not been solved yet 100%. There are workarounds for it, but nothing that fixes it across the board. I have not had hanging issues, or rebooting at all with mine. Rooting will not solve the touch issues.

My Nexus 7 is stable.

No issues at all with my Nexus 7

I have a 2013 nexus 7 and have never had any hangingnor reboot issues. It seems that every once in a while I have the touch issues but it seems to get a little better as they update software.... I think it may be a hardware issue but they are just using software work arounds... All in all I love this tablet and wouldn't trade it for any other device. BTW it seems when I have a ROM like cyanogen installed the touch issues seem to disappear....

What kind of touch issues you're talking about? Does it occurs on every device or random?

Never seen any touch issues on mine. If there are any, it does not affect my use of the tablet. I don't use mine for gaming, so that might be a difference.

in my own condition,it's not stable ,when i am using DicePlayer or MXPlayer to play a movie,720p resolution or higher,it will crash and reboot,or just stuck.and it's happening all the time,it drive me crazy and i dont know why.

Nexus 7 makes sense despite having 5 inch smartphone like g2 or s4?

I just own a smartphone and notebook, want to try out a tablet, is there a big jump or just stick to simple smartphone

I have a Galaxy S4 and finally broke down and bought the Nexus 7 last week. Just love it. I can now actually read all the pdf files I need for work without massively squinting. It's an excellent size, fast, and no stinking bloatware.

I thought the same thing until I started to realize that for quick browsing and media consumption, a tablet is more convenient and battery efficient (I have the wifi N7) than either a smartphone or laptop (and I own both, with the S3 as the phone). Plus, if I want to bring the bigger screen out and about with me, it's so easy to do so.

I use my 7 tethered to my 5 to browse. Its a good solution to saving battery on the 5 because the screen isn't being used. I can browse for hours on the 7 and still have over 60% battery on the 5 before my day is over.

I have a Note 3 and still love my Nexus 7. My N7 is used mostly for games and web when I'm at home. My kids use it when I let them (they have to earn it) so its nice to not let them use my phone. There is definitely a difference when using a Note 3 and N7. Though the phone has a large screen, I still love my N7.
Its also nice to have a 2nd device if one is charging or has a dead battery.
The only thing I wish my N7 had was a pen like the Note 3. I bought my Nexus 7 before the Galaxy Note 8 came out and would probably still buy the Nexus 7 because of the price. Normal capacitive styluses just aren't as good as the S-Pen.

I have a note 2 and have tether on 24/7 w/ my N7 2013 now. I read everything on the N7 and don't really do all that much on the Note2 except quick texts (even though I text through the N7 as well using google voice).
I'm kind of thinking that I now want a very slim candybar like HD screen phone about 2.5 - 3.5 inches that is primarily for HD videos (like youtube) and phone calls. I use voice dictation so I don't care all that much for keyboard size...

I have a Note 2 and the 1st Gen Nexus 7 (until later today) and I like the combo. At home or in a cafe, I use the Nexus 7.
If I'm out running errands I will take the phone. The 5" size means I don't feel the need to take my Nexus 7 everywhere, and the 5 inches is very usable for anything I'm likely to do when out and about.

I have a mifi device with me so it saves a lot of battery and heat. Will definitely try nexus 7. I have G2.

I have a galaxy note and a N7, I intend to sell the note and go for something a little smaller like the Moto G as all the note is used for now is quick browsing when out and about and calls and texts, and lastly as an mp3 player when walking. I keep the N7 in the car for anything else when I am out and about.

Make so much sense. Now that budget phones are becoming so much more capable.

Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) Android M Port

I was wondering if there was an Android M Developer Preview port for the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi model.
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013

I'd like to know this as well. I traded in my LG G3 shortly after purchase, not that I didn't like the device, but work was going to BYOD and I find an iOS device preferable for work and personal, where I use Android for personal only, and had used WP8 for work only previously.
Anyway, I recently heard about Android M Dev Preview, but my only two Android devices at the moment are the original Xoom tablet (Wifi, no 3G) and a Nexus 7 (2013). So if I could load and check it out without having to buy a newer tablet, that would be nice.

It would almost be impossible! Google hasn't released any APIs yet for Android M.

They did it for the original Nexus 7 so why not this one?
