Hi guys just wondering what your input is on the nexus 7 vs this tablet? If $ wasn't an issue would you upgrade your a100 to a nexus 7? Why or why not?
Main reasons for me considering this is Nexus 7 way better battery life and screen display. Would miss the ad card slot though

I would say other than the screen , the tegra 3 , and USB host there is not that much of an upgrade .....I would advise u to hold out till the price drops or wait for the next 7 inch

I have had an acer a100 for about 6 months and recently bought a nexus 7. The a100 is rooted but running stock 4.03 with the gm kernel. Really rock solid overclocked at 1200. I also bought the A100 docking station, wish the Nexus 7 had a docking station.
I haven't rooted the Nexus 7 yet, it is running JB 4.2. Google needs to fix a few bugs before I would recommend 4.2 to anyone.
The biggest difference between the two is the display, the Nexus 7 is really sharp and clear. It's also a lot lighter and thinner, so I find myself carrying it around everywhere with me.
I always thought that I needed a microsd card slot, but 32gb on the Nexus 7 is plenty for what I use it for, and I could always use the OTG usb if I needed. HDMI out is a nice feature to have, but I don't use it very often and never really used the rear camera. So the features that the A100 have that aren't on the Nexus 7 don't really impact me.
Thats about all I can think of, to me the screen and size/weight on the Nexus 7 make the difference.

Whats the battery life on your a100? I think that is one of if not the biggest factor for me wanting to get a Nexus 7. I keep reading that the best you can get is 4-5 hours with the a100 while the Nexus 7 is 6-7 on hard use and even up to 8-9 on light/moderate use.

Without the issue of $. I would definitely recommend getting a Nexus 7. The main reason is the battery life. Secondly, I would get it for the community. It is great that the A100 community is still active, and I am very grateful to Pio for continuing the rom building effort. However, the nexus 7 has a much larger userbase and therefore a much larger community. With more people hacking on it, it should mean that there will be more mods available and a larger likelihood that future changes will be ported to the platform.

I would definitely go with the Nexus 7. I have had the A100 for one year now. It has been well worth the $189 price I paid. However, I just bought the Nexus 7 with 3G. Here's my take on things.
Nexus 7 Pros
The Tegra 3 is very fast and smooth. Browsing the web on the Nexus 7 is the best browsing experience I've had. It seems to load pages faster than any other device.
It's always great to get the latest android OS without waiting.
The screen is bright and crisp. Viewing angles are great.
The battery lasts 10 hours.
The build quality is excellent.
The 3G option of $299 is excellent.
Lighter and easier to hold.
Nexus 7 Cons
No rear camera and flash.
No HDMI out.
Glass is not gorilla glass. Get a screen protector.
Overall, I much prefer the Nexus 7 over any 7" tablettablet

On moderate use my Nexus 7 will last a full day. 7 hours if I'm using it constantly.

Friends I have decided to buy 32gb Wifi model. I have been reading reviews around the net and found that the tablet has touch screen issues due to some earthing problem.
My question is that is this true for the initial batches of the tablet only or for all? My Indian friends hopefully could shed some light on this. How many of you are facing the touch screen problem and to what extent?
I was all very excited to get this tablet guys. I was hoping to get it by next week but this touch screen issue is making me have second thoughts.
Also is this best android gaming tablet? Or is there something more powerful than this around the market?
Please feel free to give your suggestions. Waiting eagerly for your responses. Thanks in advance.

I was earlier thinking of going for the Wifi+3g model but then decided against it. I will always have my phone with me and I turn on Wifi hotspot to access net in my tablet. Also Wifi version will get better battery life I suppose.

I got my Nexus in April, after quite a few had already been sold.
Out of the box, mine had touch screen issues... multiple responses to a single key touch as well as some unresponsiveness. After doing a Google search, a factory reset fixed most of the issues. I'm left with some occasional unresponsiveness.
For me it's an occasional annoyance. I've found after 30 plus years of playing with computer devices, they all have minor annoyances. Overall, I am quite impressed with the device.

I've had my 32GB N7 (2013) WiFi model since January (got a GREAT deal from Staples for only $170 brand new). This tablet has been no less than perfect for me. No issues whatsoever. Can't beat the bang to buck ratio you get with this device.

But the Google I/0 is at the end of this month.. Also it will take at least another one month for Google to launch It here in India.. With the fact that initial batches invariably has some problems..
Also isn't this tablet capable of doing almost anything. I know faster and better processors are being released but is there any app or game in android which utilises so much power?
From what I have read the only drawback this tablet has is with the camera and feeble loudspeakers.
Performance wise it's pretty good.. Isn't it?

Nope to both of those criticism's.
Bad points :
Buttons feel very plasticky. Fine with a case though.
Speaker is only mono and not a great mono.
Good points:
Great screen.
Great Camera.
Great software support (end of 2017 for google updates)
Easily bootloader unlocked.
Runs well.
Good battery.
I got my Nexus 5X just a week ago and it's my first stock android experience and I have to tell you - it's f*cking awesome! Nice and smooth, without any hickups. There were some lag issues due to encryption in the first months after release, but they were fixed and I haven't experience any problems. Especially if you have to compere it to a bloated Samsung device, I'd say go Nexus and never turn back!

My wife has a Galaxy S6 and I have the 5X. I don't see any real performance difference between the two phones at all. Battery life is similar on the two phones and the cameras are pretty close (I prefer the 5X) but the build on the S6 is more attractive. Key factor for me, though, is the pure Android with timely updates on the 5X - much, much better than the Samsung! Considering that it is going to be supported for longer than the S6, I would go for the 5X.
Tnx guys

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a second hand device because my old phone got screwd, while looking I found a Nexus 5X which looks good and also is working perfectly for now, but I'm reading everywhere that almost all the devices from LG that have the SD808 are dying (bootloop) (G4, V10 and N5X) and instead of repairing them, they are offering LG G5, which makes me also think that it just can't be repaired in any way, so right now I'm starting to think that this Nexus 5x problem is something like the Note 7 but less violent.. I mean, that it will happen to every N5X device sooner or later, and it being a second hand device I don't really want to spend 180$ for a 1-2 months device...
Is this looking like the Note 7 problem or? What are the chances? Would you reccomend me the Nexus 5x second hand in 2017?
And which other device can you reccomend me? I've been looking for the Original Nexus 5 but the camera and the SD800...
I'm very newbie on the forum so if this question doesn't go here change it's section please, thanks.
I have my Nexus 5X for over 6 monthes , without any problems...
maybe its a luck thing, but I trust this device to continue wokring ..
hope I helped you in somthing
(pay attention that not *all of the nexus 5x are dying , just some of them.. you can see that by the usage of the nexus 5x forms here at xda)
I would go for Nexus 6P instead, maybe Pixel if your budget can handle it.
IDK if they are repairable, but AFAIK one reason is that N5X is no longer being manufactured.

I can't afford it, I found a S5 Plus at about 165$ that lookgs good too... But It don't have too much community support :silly:
Hmm, I see, well, if there is someone who got it in bootloop before they stopped manufacturing it and can tell me if they repared it or directly changed it for a new one and still working, please.
i hope mine will die during next 12 monts to have a refound and by a new smartphone
Actually is working fine
I actually had a g4 that died a bootlooping death before I got the 5x and if you can afford it go for the 6p.

6p is about 100$+, and I'm reading it have the bootloop problem too...
BTW turning off the big cores solves the problem? If it works I would buy it anyway, I love the design and the camera on this phone, at this price.

Well I'm that case go for the 5x and another plus is that when official support stops the custom ROMs usually don't do you should never be stuck with outdated software
I think that was becouse of 7.0 early release. Mine nexus died too but i recovered him, from that day i still using 7.0 and now 7.1.1 without any problem. If you dont have enough money for 6P (wich i recommend, better battery life, performance, and display) You can try Nexus 5X, it's a great device but battery life would be better. :>
Choose Nex with warranty. If anything goes wrong Google will fix it (or LG). Good Luck

Yes, that is what I'm looking for, there is a shop that sells it (second hand, but with warranty from the shop), btw, how you recovered it?
Have my 5X (16b) since a year, and I think personally it's a really good phone (coupled with an external battery btw and with PureNexus 7 rom ), never had any bootloop brick.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Probably my EFS was messed up. Died in about 2 weeks after 7.0 release. I was fighting for his life almost 2 days! I was lucky that my phone was in unlocked state. I dont know exacly how i recovered him but i tried diffrent stock images, and twrp backups (incl. EFS) but no luck, when i was gonna to give up and send my device back to LG for repair i flashed old marshmallow stock image and on top of it backup from 7.0 (without changing vendor) phone booted up! And from that moment so far no problem with this bootloop. Nex is working strong from about 1yr no problems. Everything is working like this first day, but build quality is really crap.
I have my Nexus 5x working fine with Cyanogen 13 (so Marshmallow obviously).
As far as I can see, problems begin with Nougat.
As for bootloop, have you guys tried downgrading? I will not touch 7 until they fix all issues.

Here, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...D3_E-rXRZ-QMmxpR4D4IdwEWZYb2NKA/viewanalytics some people saying that happened on 6.0 too, maybe because of the lapse time, or maybe they got another type of bootloop.
Btw the ratio is very good, 103\1558.
I like that ratio

Since November my phone's battery started showing weird graphs in stats. There is an idle drain of almost 1.2%/h without any apps installed or even in safe mode. And when i calculate per-app breakdown it does not matches the drain percentage. I ignored that since i it has rapid charging which doesn't take that long to completely charge the phone.
But 4-5 days back my phone just rebooted while browsing chrome and kept on rebooting on boot logo for 3-4 times. After that it rebooted again and showed 'This device is corrupt' but phone was working as it was before reboot. Then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed the factory images. There was no issue for 2 days but last night it did the same i.e. rebooting again and again but this timei had to force restart it by holding power button since it got stuck on Android logo this time. After force restart I again got the message 'This device is corrupt'.
Hardware issue? If that's the case i am really just frustrated with this phone. Last September i got my phone's Display replaced because of dead pixels, then battery and now this.
I am going to visit LG repairs tomorrow.

Yes, what results in Daydream support. Additionally, it has bigger AMOLED display and full metal build (which is quite brittle, but that's not a problem for me personally). AAAND more RAM.
There is daydream support for nexus 5x too, check the apps section
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...d-daydream-vr-support-nexus-5x-t3518570/page2
2 gig ram is perfectly fine for me never had any issues. I play heavy games and use multitasking all the time.
On pure nexus rom everything is insanely smooth
I dont like metal build it doesnt feel good for me
Not that i want to argue but this phone is perfect, no need to pay 100€ more 6P has nothing more to offer
There has been also growing number of issues where the phone will completely die on the 6p despite having adequate battery:
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...hutdown-issue-after-android-nougat-update.htm
I don't know if there is really anything conclusive about this or the 5x, it's like which comes first the chicken or the egg (software vs. hardware).
I can say one thing though, if you get the phone cheap enough like I did (brand new 32GB, $200), then who gives a f--- if it messes up after 6 months. That's why I don't buy expensive phones anymore that way if it breaks or something happens I'm never out too much (I don't buy insurance, waste of money).
Hello,
First of all, I know there are/may be similar threads, but nothing recent afaik, sorry if I have missed something.
So to the question, is it worth it to get a Nexus 5X now? I was a happy Nexus 5 user for a lot of time, but the battery life got awful recently and getting a new battery for a second time doesnt sound ok. Will I be as happy with the 5x? Are there problems that the majority of units have? Any words on this vs the pixel (yeah, its a year older, two or three times cheaper, but if someone used them both in 'real life')?
Any feedback is appreaciated, thank you in advance!
In my opinion if you want a low price solution for a HUGE reward in return go for it. I bought the 32gb one on December 2016 so I'm a recent buyer. The phone is perfect for gaming and basic usage like texting music listening etc. As for the comparison between the n5x and the pixel, come on you already know the pixel is the better one due to its age and Google recent exclusive features support (I hope we get assistant on 5x ?). Anyway, my experience thus far on the 5x is this. Awesome camera, performance is absolutely amazing(if you're coming from a nexus 5 you're gonna be blown away) and only con is that ram tends to kill apps every 3 or 4 apps that open. My suggestion is you should buy it and don't go for the 16gb one!!!!! Cheers.
It depends:
Pros
Camera, Updates, Community, acceptable size, dual band Wi-Fi, 4g band coverage, GPS accuracy
Cons
Thermal throttling with heavy usage, weak mono front speaker, uncalibrated compass, small battery
The defects were not so important for me (I'm a normal user), so I bought it on July 2016. So far so good.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Dont forget the possibility of your phone bootlooping after 1 year warranty!
I mainly dont like this phone cause of that, temp throttling and lower ram...
And you probably won't be pleased with battery life many are complaining about it. To me its fine cause i had a phone with 2 and a half hours soc max, and now its mostly arround 4 hours soc...
I dont know if u can wait but there should be a budget pixel 2 phone, probably much better than this but also probably pricier...
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Bootloop by aging solds is a serious item, if you usually do tasks, which let the processor heat.
I bought it in July 2016, absolutely satisfied. Nice performance (2 gigs of RAM isn't a big problem after all), perfect community and well built. For 200€ definitely worth.
However, I guess in 2017 I would go for Nexus 6P, OnePlus, Samsung Galaxy S6 or Note 4. But N5X is surely a safe bet, worth every penny.
Guys I am also interested in buying 5x , was just curious and the model , I mean do all the nexus 5x models are same? I mean right now I have s4 I9500 and there are way too many models which are a problem for me as development depends upon models , so how to check if there are different models of nexus 5x and which model is best? And as many of you guys mentioned regarding heating and soldering issue ,,, can anyone please explain it? I mean does it overheat during using social apps?

There are two different models LG-H970 (US model) and LG-H791 (global model). The factory images are universal. Every 5X rom and kernel on XDA can be used on either model.
This phone will throttle at low battery from high heat. The phone will throttle at any and every opportunity of high heat exposure. If you reboot, the phone may throttle. If you flash custom software it will throttle. Usually thermal throttling doesn't last long unless you are in a warm environment. Whether you live or work in a warm climate, use mobile data hours on end, leave the phone in the sun, etc. Any app could cause the phone to throttle as well. Owning this phone means you will notice throttling at some point.

I am using it for about 9 months (second owner).
I am using custom ROM - pure Nexus , and it is 7.1.1 now.
It is an American version I think, I bought it there, I am not playing games on the phone, so it is rarely getting hot.
Guys can someone please tell me the best way to check the serial number?

I have been using a 5x since it was first released, ordered the first day Google offered it. Been running custom roms ever since. Or since they first became available for the 5x.
I also have it since launch (H790 October 2015) and it has been running exclusively on custom roms + custom kernel. Recently I've modified the cooling system (replaced the yellow patch with aluminium foil + thermal paste).
If I was buying right now I think the OnePlus 3T would be the most likely choice. It's a decent price too. Pixel are too expensive.
I have an inkling Google will announce a midrange phone soon. Perhaps at I/O this year.
