I have the OG Nexus 7 and I find typing on it to be a pain which is really my only complaint about the 7 inch form factor. I find it equally difficult in portrait and landscape. I'm getting ready to purchase the new Nexus 7 and the fact that I can hardly type on my old one keeps weighing on my mind. So what do you guys do to type easier on your Nexus 7's?

Try swiftkey for tablet. I use it on my Galaxy Note 8 and it works like a dream. I'd expect equal if not better performance on the Nexus 7.

I type with thumb keyboard, great for typing with your thumbs!

I am currently using swype, but I can say the accidental touches are really annoying when my palm hits "Go" on the side of the screen while reaching for a letter, before im finished typing and at that point i have to start all over.

Wha? There's a tablet version of swiftkey? Gonna have to find that for sure. I loaded up the normal one and it works, but I'm guessing a tablet version has a lot better layout/size/shape of the keys.
I'm using the phone version of SwiftKey, at first it was a bit hard to type but when you're accustomed to it, you can't change keyboard (I don't even want to use the tablet version.) I guess the 7 inches plays a role here.

Forgot I bought thumb keyboard a long time ago. Just installed it and so far it seems much better. The keyboard itself seems less sensitive o am getting less double clicks.

I find it the perfect size for me to type on in portrait mode - way too wide in landscape (at least with my thumbs). I use Ultra Keyboard because I've always had HTC phones and am used to the keyboard layout. Ultra Keyboard is the only one that I found that duplicates that layout.
The only problem that I've got with the stock keyboard is that the layout is different than on my phone. Other than that, I've turned up the autocorrect aggressiveness, and it catches nearly every error that I make. Of late, I've been finding that the stock android keyboard is better than the ones you can purchase off the Play Store. I think it's because Google's putting a ton of work on the general look and feel of their OS, and the keyboard is a major part of that.

This might sound weird to you guys, but I'll see if anyone is having similar issues.
Whenever I plug my nexus into my laptop, it overheats(the laptop)...to the point where it reached 105C(the max for my laptop) and shut itself off.
Things I tried:
-I made sure that I was plugging it into the USB 3 port without the close lid charging.
-Updated drivers for adb/mtp
-Used a different cable
I don't know what else to try. Those temps aren't safe for my laptop so I can't consistently keep doing this.
Suggestions anyone? Thanks.
By the way, my laptop is a Samsung series 9 NP300X3E.

That's weird. I plug mine into my series 9 ultrabook and no issues Herr. Though I do run Linux. Are you running in quiet mode, performance, etc?

My laptop just killed itself,
Sad day. I don't know if it was the laptop or the tablet. I'll see tomorrow when I get a replacement.

Yeah it was. I just got a replacement from best buy and it seems to be working fine. At least I had that silver rewards thing so I had 60 days. Weird issue, but now solved.

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.

Just picked up a N7 (2013) 2 days ago, and I gotta say one thing.. NFC is AWESOME! This tablet is the PERFECT size for one handed use, and I love the fact that they're both running CM11. It's perfectly sized to fit in my pocket, and the screen is on par with the OGP! (I like the OGP screen a tad better, but the N7's screen is pretty close)
It's a great companion for my phone, as I hotspot my OGP and watch movies on it, and browse the web, and can I say again NFC is awesome!
If you pick one up, you will NOT be disappointed!

I was aware that this was the 'General' section of the LG Optimus G Pro, meaning I may post off related topics. If I am not mistaken, there was a thread on the topic of trading the Nexus 5 for the G Pro.
Please bring the flame to another thread. I am simply sharing my findings with this forum, on the compatibility of the two devices, and the usefulness of having the two of them.

That's great man, I have a Nexus 10 running Slim and I do the same with the OG Pro, set it up as a hotspot and connect my Nexus mostly for Tapatalk and G+, I have the DPI density in the Nexus down to 268, and in the G Pro at 380 and they both look great.
Thanks for sharing.

Which one should i get? if i get the galaxy note 4 of course i'm going to put stock android on it. but with the nexus 5x i won't have a reason to root it because it already has stock android. i'm having trouble deciding between these two, can someone help.
Note 4 on Aosp will suck

My wife had the Note 4 before a software update made it out of order. Luckily, insurance gave her a free replacement with the Note 5. That being said, she would always comment that my 5X took better pics which I did notice. Overall day to day performance though, I felt like my 5X had more instances of lag than her.
