Posting from my Nexus 7 before getting the Asus courier to pick it up, and testing the new version of SwiftKey on the forum. It used to want to type multiple 30+ character words, but now it's all good! Awesome! Don't know if anyone else had that issue but apparently it was something to do with SwiftKey and Chrome. e: update on the returns process in the UK (on my computer now) - called Asus, told them I've got a flickering screen and immediately got a DOA number. Sent that to Ebuyer per their instructions and pretty quickly got a reply saying I can log in to the site to choose a courier collection date. If the exchange happens quickly I should expect a new unit late next week, otherwise by midweek the following week. Fairly painless so far, apart from obviously not having the Nexus 7 for a week or so. krushgroove fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Aug 16, 2012 |

Is there an app that I can use to force SMS to use my google voice number? I am using google voice for phone calls and use text+ or text plus for SMS messages and want to try and drop my phone all together and use the Nexus 7. I feel it makes sense because the only time I ever can't use my phone is when I am on the road, and I shouldn't be texting or talking on the phone while I am driving anyway.

So I had an issue happen yesterday morning to my Nexus 7. It is in a case, but I clumsily dropped it like 3 feet onto the ground while trying to plug it in to charge. Once I picked it up, I could not get it to charge or turn on. I called Google and they said they have a specialist working on sending a replacement. Last night, I tried plugging it in again and it started charging and I was able to power up. The issue is that it is taking absolutely forever to charge. The power was off and I plugged it in at about 4% battery at 10 pm last night. I woke up in the morning at 6:30 and it was only charged to 32%. I left it charging all day while I was at work and it's only now at 73%. Basically, it had been charging for 20 hours and has gone from 4% to 73%. Anyone else run into this slow charging issue?

Are you charging it through an outlet?

For anyone who has or is thinking about ordering one of those Treegloo cases it seems they are running behind due to the Texas heat and unexpected volume of orders. I ordered mine on the 29th and it had been more than 2 weeks so I emailed them about possible delays and got this in reply: "Hi Komjuro, Sorry about the delay! We are running slightly behind schedule, as we have been inundated with orders and are working very to hard to insure each case is perfect before shipping out. The Texas heat has affected our production schedule, as most of the processes for sealing and curing our wood frames are natural and hand-applied. Pre-orders (July 15-30) have been in production since July 30th, and the production lead time was 1-2 weeks from this release date. I looked up your order number and we are expecting to ship your order next week. Thank you for your patience! Regards, Jayne Treegloo Products"

So Asus is rolling out OTA Jelly Bean updates for the Transformer Pad (TF300). Which is totally awesome... except only yesterday I unlocked my tablet to install CM10. Unlocking the bootloader renders you unable to install the OTA updates. Oh well, CM10 is pretty awesome. Besides the two times it locked up and rebooted yesterday.

Unlocking the bootloader renders you unable to install the OTA updates. Good news is that the JB update is indeed coming with an updated 3.1.1 kernel image that will hopefully let CM10 and the other homebrewed ROMs take advantage of the stability and driver improvements as well.

/\/\/\/\/\/\Oh sweet. The CM10 rom is an unofficial nightly, but I bet it'll get folded into the CM code right quick and then the dev building the unofficial nightlies will add it. Heck he might even fold it in himself.Install Gentoo posted:Yeah stuff like that is why I've generally avoided using rooted/custom roms on my TF101. I was getting tired of Chrome and Good News locking up (plus I wanted Jelly Bean). I figured the update was a month or two away, so switching to a custom rom made sense. For what it's worth, I think the CM10 reboots were from me changing the WiFi setting to turn off after 15 minutes of sleep mode. It hasn't done it since I changed it to always on (I tend to use it plugged in anyway, so I'm not concerned about running the battery down). Still it'd be nice to have the official rom on it. Oh well, I have third party apps (Skifta, for instance) that do a good enough job of replacing the default Asus ones and the Simplenote .apk copied over from the stock rom just fine, so I've still got that!

IT Guy posted:Can't you flash stock from Asus and re lock the bootloader? Nope. Unlocking it blacklists your device's serial number and though a bunch of XDA devs (I know, I know) tried to figure out how to relock the device they didn't have any luck.

I don't see the benefits of going with CM10 or custom ROMS, especially on a current gen ASUS tablet. Their flavor of Android is 99% stock, and you can turn off most of the options. When I had a TF300 I didn't see any benefit in going through the hassle of flashing and going down the custom ROM route. I've left my GSM Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 on full barebones stock as an experiment, and I haven't had any issues where I wished I hadn't let them alone.

Just got my Nexus 7, and well there seems to be something a bit wrong. Or is this normal?  I should mention that the last two hours were spent watching a 720p x264 video with software decoding but that doesn't seem to have made much of a difference.

Just loving awesome... I broke the glass on my transformer prime. I had my tablet on my bed, came in from work and took my belt off. I dropped my belt on my bed. The clasp of the belt hit the edge of the screen and shattered that area and made a crack from it to half way up the left side to the edge and from it to half way up the right side to the edge. Not even talking like a one foot drop. Pics incoming Belt weighs 140g - Buckle/Clasp weighs 24g

Like I explained above, I was experiencing a lot of force closes in a few apps and I thought that switching to a custom rom would fix it. Had I known that an an official Asus update would be coming out in a week or two (let alone the next day!) I would have simply waited and tried their update first but they deployed it without a warning. Oh well though, CM10 is pretty slick and I went all way yesterday without any force close popups or reboots so I'm a happy camper.

Is it me or have an abnormal amount of Nexus 7 users been damaging their brand new tablets? I've seen dozens of photos of dropped, cracked and dented N7s, which makes me mildly terrified for the one I ordered on the google play story yesterday. Is Swiftkey worth it, by the way?

Get a cheap case like the Luv Tab one and you're golden, and SwiftKey is awesome. You can trial it for a few days, after the trial period you lose the word predictions.

I love it on the TF201. Mine are about average sized hands, but I think what I like best is the dedicated number section. It's almost big enough for the keys that you could lay it down and type like a computer.

You've seen a lot because the tablet is popular. Swiftkey is much better than the stock JB keyboard on the N7.

So what do people think I might be able to sell my tablet for with it being shattered in that area and with those two cracks? It is still fully functional. I was personally thinking $125 to $75.

When it's sideways, you can hit the keyboard button left of the spacebar to split the keyboard so it only shows in the corners of the screen. Makes it much easier to thumb-type.

Yeah about 7 hours probably to run it down all the way. All I can think is the software rendering in MX Player was going crazy, but that doesn't explain the pretty stable downward slope even when video wasn't playing.

So my N7 is being a little wonky and I have no idea what's causing it, everything is running abit slow, and sometimes it's taking multiple seconds to do something simple like hit a pause button in a music player. I checked my running proccesses and it says I'm using over half the ram even though nothing running is taking up very much. I've reset it twice and it's still happening. Any ideas?
