16gb or 32gb nexus 7, my intention is to use it as a web browser, install some apps and games, stream most of my content from the web (and i imagine flash player can be installed on this device somehow so spotify web player and soundcloud will get me covered) and yeah

Here's something new:

I've had a Google Nexus 7 since they started shipping the first batch of pre-orders. It's been a great device, up until Google sent out the 4.2 OTA. Performance took a giant hit, to the point where just pressing the app switching button took 2-3 seconds for the animations to play. If I even enabled multi-user support, the resulting lag would lock the entire device up, requiring a 10 second power hold to reboot. Again, this is an entirely stock, unrooted device. The bootloader was unlocked, but that's it.

Before complaining to Google, I did a factory reset and even flashed one of the [url=https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images]factory images[/url] in hopes that I'd recover some performance, but no luck.

Next, I tried flashing a rooted 4.1.2 stock, odexed ROM. Magically, all performance issues have disappeared. I've not tried upgrading back up, but honestly I'm sick of fighting [url=http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39633&can=5&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars]bluetooth problems[/url] to give a shit about it.

wait, it's been a while since I used android but is there an app that will go into my network files on a local network because I do that all the time with my laptop and it's kind of my media hub

ES File Explorer should do the job nicely.

[djjkxbox360]

I imagine there'd be an app, I know you can connect to a wireless windows network on Linux. And Android is based off linux (or a branch of it don't know the exact details). Alternatively you can upload your music collection to Google Music

Running MIUI on my S3 i9300, and was wondering what are some good apps/games to download?

my upload connection here is as weak as piss, I just stream or download locally because its easier

[editline]15th December 2012[/editline]

Also its unsupported in Australia

[BloodYScar]

Man google's logistics sure are a major fuckup. People who ordered the nexus 4 on dec. 4 are still waiting,
while others who ordered it days later already received it.

you can't listen to stuff from the browser
it stops playing when you switch to another app or even another browser tab

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38839516]you can't listen to stuff from the browser

wait are you serious?

is there an app that prevents that and does something like what iOS does?

[garychencool]

I believe you can listen to music on select browsers but you're better off with an app or local music

[PyroCF]

Just use play music, it's brilliant.

the only solution i found was using a floating browser

[mankind_me]

so, after one year of the brilliant S2, I now got its bigger brother, the S3 :v:

I'm actually starting to find Android fanboys worse than Apple fanboys (mainly because there are like none on FP). It's always the same old boring arguments! Blind fanboyism about anything is annoying anyway.

Sorry but I really dislike it when people ask these things because we can't tell you how much you're going to use and what for. You need to make that choice yourself!

I meant it in the nicest way possible :v:

But there's really no way we can tell you! If the specs were different then we'd advice but they're the same.

get a us proxy, sign in to play music.

[Van-man]

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38841086]get a us proxy, sign in to play music.

So now the question is: what secure & trustworthy US proxies are there that works with doing that?

My dad is like a little kid again with his iPhone 5, he keeps askin silly questions like "beam me up scotty" and then exploding with laughter when it replies "Energizing.."

On the topic of voice assistants, does anybody actually use any of them for daily tasks at all? They're fun for playing about but All I can think is to set timers and trivia questions
