Keyboard letter popups? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have a 2013 edition Nexus 7 with lollipop keyboard on it. I am trying to get the letters to pop up when they are pressed like they do on my Nexus 5. I have looked and looked and can't figure out if there is any way to do this using the stock keyboard. Under settings on the tablet version of the keyboard, this option doesn't exist. I do not seem to like any of the other keyboards available on the Play Store. Does anyone have any ideas?

I think they've changed it for lollipop. Surely should be the other way around, but oh well

WP 7 keyboard

Not sure if those OS in the right section but here goes
Is there any way we can get the on-screen keyboard from Windows 7 phone onto our G 2? I have tried out the keyboards on them and they are really a lot better then our keyboards. I have looked online but can't find any answers. Is it possible to get it or would we need to fully port WP 7?

Handwritting with Asus Supernote

The size of the N7 makes it idea for taking notes - I can hold the device in one hand and write with the other in a way that's not possible with a 10" sreen. Amusingly the best app I've found for this is Asus SuperNote, but the menu buttons that normally appear on the bottom of a 10" screen don't appear on a 7". Bumping build.prop's ro.sf.lcd_density from 213 to 170 (root req) fixes it, but a system wide change like that for compatibility of one app is a less-than-ideal-solution imo.
Anyone have any ideas for another possible fix?
Just wait on paranoidandroid. You can set DPI for individual apps

I just tried this on Jr5, with the tablet ui mod and I had the nav buttons. It looked great, thanks for that.

I sideloaded supernote on my N7 and noticed the navigation buttons were missing (I'm not rooted and thus running standard DPI).
My work around when in scribble mode I toggle to the keyboard to use backspace, enter key, or insert a space.

Yes, and you can also do a large horizontal swipe from right to left for backspace / delete I think.

Good point. I forgot about that capability.

Ugh, I would pay Asus for a version that scales right. Here's hoping this comes bundled with a 7 inch tablet soon.

Didn't someone say this is basically the same as freenote?

They have now.... thanks. Hmm, Freenote is a fraction of the size too and seems to have more options / is more configurable. Gonna check it out.

Just want to tell you all, that there is an app called "Handwrite Free"! I like it better than freenote, better interface and options.

There's another thread on note taking. I used to like Freenote the best, but in this other thread, someone pointed out Handy Note. It's not free, but well worth the one dollar. Finally something I can actually use, organize, share and backup. Check it out. I tried Supernote as well. Was not good enough for me.

As was suggested early on, I think the idea of having configurable support for screen density of each app (or however you'd describe it) is the solution to this problem and others like it. For now I've suck with stock and the build.prop edit, but I'll probably be on a custom rom with this functionality before long.
Also, I've tried all of the alternate app suggestions in this thread as well as most in the other. There's a wide variety of apps to pick from - some with a little less functionality, some with way way too much more for my liking (and at 30+ megs installed, they'd better do more!).
As mentioned by a few people FreeNote is the best replacement for SuperNote in general design, but with more configurability and features, plus a smaller installed size to boot. However, all the apps I've tried do one curious little annoying thing "wrong" that SuperNote get's right... they misplace descenders (g j p q y) fully above the baseline.
is there now a way to run Supernote perfectly on the nexus 7? If so how would you go about doing that
Has anyone found a way to make it scale with ParanoidAndroid? I have tried 160dpi and different layouts, but never got it quite right :S

If you continue to have issues with SuperNote, consider checking out Handy Note Pro. I found it to be more usable. Plus, there's more than a few user reviews on Google Play that said that they lost all of their work when the app borked.
I just watched a video on youtube about asus memo pad 7, in it they were using supernote lite and the memo pad 7 is a 7" tablet so it should be perfect for a n7.
Someone is bound to get a hold of that apk so I will be on the look out for that!

Beaming to a Samsung S3 not working

Any ideas?

I don't think it works. I tried it with a S4 and a N7 and it hasn't worked. I don't think Sammy's sbeam is compatible with the N7 nfc transfer... Two Google devices yeah, but a Sammy and a Google device? Doesn't work for me...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I have a nexus and an S3 and it works fine. I tried replicating the issue and it worked fine for me. First question is, are you on a custom ROM? Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but just putting that out there.
Second, my nfc settings on S3 are with android beam on, so beam off.
Also make sure that you are placing the nfc sensors together, as it can be difficult to find on the nexus.
Lastly, I love using an app called SuperBeam, which allows me to share files between my two devices. It's like S beam for galaxy phones, except for all nfc android phones.
Best of luck!

All mine does is open QuickPic. Nothing transfers.

My s3 also s4 when trying to beam to my N7 are both directed to the play store. When I run an aosp romn the s4 it works fine with the n7 and android beam. I think touchwiz messes it up.

Disable S-Beam and enable Android Beam and it will work with the Nexus 7 or any NFC enabled android device.
it will work only by opening the bluetooth not the wifi for the transfer...so for large files it's not so fast transfer. ..

[Q] Google Play detects Nexus 7 as 'mobile' instead of 'tablet'?

When I download some Apps in Google Play, my nexus 7 shows mobile edition of the App. However, those apps appear a tablet edition on my friend's Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
Is it possible for me to get those table edition on my Nexus 7 instead of mobile edition?
The developer determines the layout for different devices. You could change your build.prop to trick the play store, but that is more trouble than its worth. The nexus 7 is still new, email the develoer asking for a tablet layout.
