Certain images seem faded on the nexus 7, anyone else notice this too?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Not sure if it's this Jellybean wallpaper but I agree to an extent. I fired up the free transformers in HD and it looks great.
everyone would rather clutter up the productive threads than talk about random crap or whine in here... sigh.
Yeah some pics look a little washed out
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yeah it's definitely not as beautiful as amoled,The Galaxy Nexus looks way better but I totally expected this,The only thing that bugs me is the lack of rotation but after I get around to rooting it I'll fix that but still it should have been an option

The only thing I've noticed to be washed out is the App Icons on the Play Store. Everything else seems fine. And has anyone noticed how awesome the whites are? It shocked me. Probably because I've been using an S II for almost a year now.
This will be my place of solace after the preorder debacle is finished.

I'm loving the battery life on the N7, just wish gamestop had cases for it too.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I just want to say that the N7 has phenomenal Wi-Fi performance. I'm speedtesting consistent 20/20 on my connection, which considering is over 2.4Ghz in a densely populated downtown Chicago building, is quite impressive.

I really love that the battery life is panning out on this thing. So often battery life on my Android devices have been the one and only thing that bothered me. Let's hope this trend continues with the next Nexus phones.

Really? I get just over 2 days use out of my Galaxy SII and thought that was amazing since my iPhone 3Gs was needing a charge almost evert 10 hours. My Xoom goes 5 days with moderate use on a single charge. My Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi also gets about 4-5 days too.
'Course most of this is nothing compared to what my old Nokia 3310 & 1100 could do, but that's the trade off with smartphones.
Are your ando devices rooted? Maybe try another custom ROM.

Still rocking the Nokia? Man, I remember when Nokia was the King. Those were the days. I remember the parents carting around their old analogue Nokia brick... I was like 6 or 7.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app
Nokia is no longer the king because he does not want to change the operating system uses and whether it has simbyan
How do the speakers sound on the 7?
I don't actually have N7 yet
I'm still on the fence. How's the device so far, for all of you that have it? Is the audio really horrible like I've read in some posts? What'd the back of the device made of?
I'm currently getting my basics before I transfer (to maybe UH/A&M/UT) for a degree in Petrol Eng. Is this something you guys/gals think would benefit me in anyway? Especially being in Calculus classes right now. I've never had a tablet or had any friends with a tablet, so I'm not sure how to determine if a tablet is right for me.
I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 7, but I'm seeing tons of people posting with all kinds of screen problems. I'm wondering, is everyone having issues, or is it just the people who are having issues that are posting? So if you have a Nexus 7 and it is working great, I would love to hear from you.
No problems what so ever, ordered 27 June, got it yesterday and I've been through two full battery charges and rooted and its still running like a champ. Don't hesitate!

Mines great! It's probably just a 'nexus' of complaints here! Where else would you talk about it, that's making it look worse than it is perhaps.
Only problem I had was that it turned up TOTALLY empty of charge and needed a few minutes to get past 0%. Once done, it's been working great.
No flicker
No squeaky sides
No raised glass
It works and works great.
Non-rooted(so far), standard rom. Nothing out of the usual.

As per any new device, there are bound to be ones that make it thru production with a problem or two. Apparently screen issues have been what's the most prominent.

No problems at all. My device is flawless. Great build quality on it.
Might be better if you create a poll then you will truly see most don't suffer from reported issues. It could be as simole as do you have any major hardware issues vs. Those who dont. Or are you satisfied with your nexus 7 vs. Those who arwnt. If you do, change thread title also. The complaints will always be voiced more over those who satisfied with their devices.
I'd easily recommend anyone to buy one of these ASAP.
No problems at all with mine.I am very happy with mine.Fast,looks good
And no issues with anything I have tried to do with it.
Everything is flawless here too. Highly recommended. The UI smoothness has me sold.

I've got 3 dead pixels at the very bottom trim of the screen which are only barely noticable when watching a movie with weird borders.
Not returning it because of that, still very happy.
Mine came form google play perfect expect screen Flickr which I think is a driver issue.
Some people reporting getting replacements with the same exact issue.
I absolutely love mine!!! I won't be upgrading to the Note 2, I just don't see any valid reasons to. Everything I've ever wanted on a phone...the Note has got it. Besides... I love the capacitive buttons are awesome when lit up in a dark room. I'm not a fan of the physical button. The only thing from keeping this phone has being labeled "perfect" is the lack of a notification light. :/

I completely agree. I love my note and everything runs perfect. I even have the galaxy note 2 gallery and pop up video player on mine with a sick theme. I will post the gallery and video with instructions in the apps and theme section. Also I wide love to see more activity in the forums as far as posting home screens for ideas and general info

Im happy with the note and when the note 2 comes out alot of mods will be ported over.I also hate the physical home button which was one of the reasons i took the s3 back to get the note. I do too wish the tmobile forum had more action but since tmobile came out with the note so long after at&t and then took it off the shelves im not shocked.But i love this phone
Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda premium
So far, I am pleased with the original Note..... But a few quibbles I've noticed: It's a little jerky at times (not nearly as smooth as wife's GS3 running same OS)..... I figure it must be because only 1GB of RAM... Also on wifi calling it doesn't always hang up the phone and on occasion, hasn't let me answer an incoming call either.... Maybe jellybean will fix some of these issues? (assuming we get jellybean). Overall I'm pleased and am glad I did not wait for the Note 2 (screen will be too narrow IMO) I like surfing the web in portrait mode

I might upgrade to the Note 2 because of this;
Wacom-designed stylus with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, which is four times more than the original version.

No way man. 1GB of ram is plenty. Gotta be something else. I have multiple devices, phones/tables, with 1gig of ram. The only reason there would be a lot of lag is because the stock rom sucks.

I agree I have a TMobile note running Blackstar 6 no lag what so ever. I replaced touchwiz with Nova launcher and it runs like a dream. On a personal note I have not had any lag or had to force close other ram hungry apps in order to "speed things up"

Down load NoLED from the Play store. No root needed. Works great and I say even better than the LED that comes with the S3. With NoLED you know exactly what you missed.
When I first went to capacitive buttons from the HD2, I had thought that I missed them. Then I got the S3 and I knew instantly I missed the capacitive buttons.
Give NoLED a try and I think you'll be happy.
---
I do wish the Note did some of the things the S3 does: Like video previews and HDR photos in the camera options. I know there are other apps that can do that but I like the stock of it.
The one thing I was extremely glad that Note doesn't do vs the S3 is the gallery previews. The S3 gallery shows every picture in a tile mode like preview, the Note shows them in a group mode preventing embarrasing moments if some one looks at your gallery.
LOL..... I hear you rosedog.... Hey not to change the subject (of videos/photos)..... But I downloaded "Dice Player"..... enables a smaller/floating video player window over top of what app you're running (just like the stock capability of the GS3).... It works pretty well, too

You're not too picky. I traded my S3 for a Note a week ago. I def feel my S3 was much more snappy. Everything was just a bit smoother, quicker. Love the capacitive buttons and bigger screen, but miss my 2GB Ram and LED notification.
Will def upgrade to the Note 2 when it comes out.

Happy with mine, not going to buy the Note 2, not enough upgrades to justify. I don't like that it is longer & thinner either. Love my note however wish it had a notification light and a stronger vibrate when on silent. Also am having a problem opening some facebook video (from app) My note downloads videos rather than open them!. Other than that--am extremely happy with my TMobile Note.
I've noticed that too on some videos. My phone starts automatically downloading the video that I'm trying to stream.

Download noled and you got a sweet notification light for just about any notification. Works great and highly customizable.

So I've noticed a trend on the forums here that the vast majority of threads here are negative. Of course, there are valid reasons for this. However, I believe that the majority of us are actually super happy with our phones.
I don't want people to come here and think that we all are angry about this phone. I wanted to create a thread that looked good where us shiny, happy people can talk about the great things about this phone.
I know mods have shut down similar threads already, but I figured I'd give it a go. We need some positivity here!
For myself, this is by far the fastest, smoothest phone I've ever had. Not saying a lot considering what I've had, but the ion at least was supposed to be excellent and was an absolute dog compared top the nexus 4. I have not had any of the issue people seem to he complaining about.

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Yea..uh..Nexus 5 is a cheaper phone. No way
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

That's weird, I've had zero wifi issues. I'm using the 5ghz channel of my buffalo ac router. I also tested the 2.4ghz and no issues.
This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.

Even with the bloat I think the Note 3 is far superior to any of Nexus devices. I even think the S4 is as well.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.
Note 3 -- Tapatalk version [HORRIBLE.1x]
Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
I just returned my nexus 5 today. It's hard to use anything with a non amoled screen after you have used a phone with an amoled screen.
The nexus 5 camera was also horrible.
Sad part is, I bought the nexus 5 and gave my wife my note 3 and now she won't give it back, so it's back to the sgs4 for me
