uapyro posted:I noticed this before with MX Player when it wouldn't play sound in HW mode. There's actually a way to make it do HW mode for Video, and SW for sound so it still has great quality, and sound. If desired, I can go find how to do it again. Or an option like that. I'm pretty sure its the third option in the list.

Boywunda posted:For those asking about streaming media to Android, I know this should be in the Android App thread, but there is also a GOON made app called Emit. There's a free version as well. To be fair, probably half the thread now has $25 to spend at the play store. Also, did anyone get the case? I'm wondering how nice/well it works.

Yeah, location routing is done in the cloud and pushed down to the device. So, if you get the route before you leave data, you'll be fine. You just won't be able to re-route en-route.

I wanted to get a case with a stand, etc. Not sure if I'm getting scammed here. Also how the hell do you get google now to do more than...be mostly useless? It decided to add traffic from current location -> home and weather, but what else is out there other than the "sample" cards?

UPS guy showed up to delivery it while there's 3 men in my front yard in bee suits killing bees that have taken up residence in one of my walls. Glad he made the effort to delivery.  After 30 minutes I'm still shocked at the performance of JB when compared to ICS. Almost at iOS levels of smoothness. So close. The official case leaves much to be desired. It's a rubber sleeve of sorts and it does fit very well. Everything lines up with the ports but the button covers are awful. Like really bad. Skip the official case and get something good.

Glad he made the effort to delivery. Closing the case with your thumb will register a tap on the screen if you haven't manually idled it. Just opened Google Magazinewhatever and downloaded 3 magazines by accident. That'll get old quick. Edit: UUuuunnFFFfffff this thing is fast and the screen is amazing.

BunLengthHotDog posted:possible screen creep fix I was able to fix mine using this method. I used my thumbnail and pried it open right between the power button and volume rocker. Once you get that initial separation, it is only slightly more difficult than removing a battery cover. Mine didn't have any warranty seals. It is completely absurd that people are having to do this at all. I didn't feel like sending this back though and this took 2 minutes tops.

I really like my Transformer (and after using android for a little bit I prefer it to ios) but the lovely build quality is a real turn off At least it's not a 100% thing like the lovely GPS on the TF201, or the antenna on the first iphone 4's

Hmm. This is odd. According to GPS Status both devices side by side and oriented the same way there is a 50* difference in heading between my GNexus and N7.

Ignore Star War Sex Parrot's trolling. In Android trying to seek out tablet-specific versions of things is wrong thinking. There are a few examples of those but well-coded apps work on a variety of different screen sizes / densities. Which is exactly why you would expect an Android tablet software thread to sort of die, there wouldn't be much to talk about. For widgets have a look at HD Widgets and Beautiful Widgets.

True, there's no way to tell which apps are quality apps. If only the Play store had some sort of ratings system, which let you filter by people who have the same device as you... Besides the listing of tablet apps I already provided, there's also http://www.tablified.com/ and androidpolice.com does a tablet-oriented app roundup from time to time.

Unless I'm missing something Rastor's link leads to almost 75 Android apps that are designed to work with Android tablets and take advantage of that extra screen real estate, and he also alluded to the fact that well-coded Android phone apps will automatically switch up and make use of tablet screen real estate, such as: After carefully evaluating those suggestions, the conclusion I reached is that those 75 tablet-specific apps aren't well coded, and some unspecified, unnamed, unsearchable subset of the other android phone apps are well coded and will be awesome. The non-well-coded others will look like this:  At least it's not too cramped/crowded/busy. Happy hunting!

Rastor posted:Ignore Star War Sex Parrot's trolling. I haven't seen the app selection change, but overall the argument that it scales fine is just wrong. I'll go as far as buying the argument for 7" tablets, but it simply isn't fun to do so with larger screens than that. I'm not a big app person, but for tablets all the main, "essential apps," are all inferior on Android right now. And anyone who argues, my response is to try Google Docs. That is an app that should work great on Android and is just utter poo poo. Google Voice is more functional but the same way overall.

I'm pondering whether to replace my ipad2 with a nexus or a transformer tf700. I like the smaller form factor of the nexus and the better value, but I've been surprised how useful a keyboard doc made my ipad into a decent on the go netbook and google docs integration would just improve that. Any head to head comparisons?

People say this, but I personally dislike iOS a lot, and many others do too. If someone is asking for hardware advice, don't suggest different software under the assumption they don't know what they want. The transformer and nexus 7 are completely different beasts. It really depends on the form factor and function you want.
