So I sent my Nexus7 back....what about the.... - Nexus 7 General

So I sent my Nexus7 back....what happens to the £15 play store credit?
I purchased it from Dixons and not google directly. Does anyone know what happens to this credit?
(p.s. for those interested in why I sent it back, simply put its a pile cow dung. No competition to the iPad)

Hopefully they take it back.

You do realize its meant to be a Kindle Fire killer right? Although personally, the iPad sucks compared to the Nexus 7.
Anyway, since its linked to your Google Account, you probably keep it.

Most appropriate meme ever.
BTW, the N7 blows away the iPad. Maybe not hardware wise but definitely software wise.

GUYZ! WHY DOES THIS TABLET I BOUGHT FOR $200 NOT SEEM AS GOOD AS THE ONE I BOUGHT FOR 400????!!!?! I DON'T GET IT??!!
Seriously? Regardless I think this tablet is much better than any iPad I've used. (Maybe not the IPad 3). But still the software crushes.

Try to attach a file to an e-mail message on your iPad. LOL
I heard they are fixing this/catching up to the rest of the world in iOS 6, but FFS...you do two things in e-mail. Type message and send ****. Took Apple till 2012 to figure that out?
That's just one of about 500 issues as to why the iPad sucks worse than the G1 running Donut. Let's not even bring the Nexus 7 into the picture...that's just not fair for Apple.

Its all subjective my friend. I like the iPad a lot, but I also like the n7 a lot. Its a different type of like. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. To me its Apples and Oranges.
Whoever called this an iPad killer, felt that a 7inch display is all they want and need in a tablet. Some people want that retina display and 10" screen for movies and photo editing. Some want the n7 for reading and browsing. Its all subjective and built for two different needs. For the money, I believe the n7 is great. A little problem here and there is common in almost all electronic devices.

It makes a lot of since to have have both apple or both android. You can use your purchased apps on both devices from the same company. But you can't use your ios apps on your android and your android apps on ios. You would have to buy them all over again.
That display is really something to behold. Never seen anything like it before. Would I buy one? Nope. Would I buy an Android tablet? Nope. I have 0 use for both of them at this point.

Nothing wrong with that, looks like a decent machine. I am waiting out for a decent and decently priced quad core Android tablet. Sticking with one library of apps rather than investing in two. But some of the serious apps I wish to have on android might be awhile.

Have fun with the rest of the sheep.
And why is that high of screen resolution needed on a 10" screen?
Just like the rest of the iDrones, ooh look it is shiny, look at the pretty colors and lights, and I only have to sign my bank account, soul, and first born child over to crapple? Sign me up! Morons!
Give crapple 500+ dollars,
Get higher screen res than is actually needed,
Tablet overheats and shuts down,
Firmware fix will just slow down CPU reducing performance,
Pay crapple hundreds more dollars for apps that aren't actually worth it,

I unfortunately can't justify buying a tab. I want one. I bought my girlfriend the Nook Tablet and her roommate uses it more than she does. I think I'm gonna take it and put CM7 on it.

iOS 6

I, personally, was disappointed by Apple's iOS 6 release. I felt the os needed an entire revamp. From what I know about android everything apple did could have been done with app downloads. To me that should have been more of an incremental update rather than a whole new OS version. Do you all agree or disagree. Please let me know your thoughts.
IB4 another lock!
Nope
Before lock, where is the iOS 6 changelog?

Oh well i am staying on my jailbroken 5.0 ipod touch and using android.
Androids updates are nice cause they add a lot of new features where as apple mainly fixes old crap.
Android FTW obviously
- Maps w/ Flyover = Looks great
- Turn-By-Turn = At last?
- Updated Siri = Don't care, but i guess it's fun for the kids
- FB and Twitter integration = Don't care
- Passbook = Guess it's usefull for people in the US
Overall a couple of nice tweaks but nothing major. Apart from the FB/Twitter integration and other system tweaks, they could easily pushed this OTA.

[R.I.P.]Broken Grouper

Damn, i accidentally dropped on to the tile floor and landed on the corner... R.I.P. (2012-2013) my trusty N7. Now i am facing a new problem: a new tablet. I am tempted to buy an ipad as it may partially replace my laptop on certain school days. however the 32gb grouper is only $250 here, also a good buy. what should i do?

You can buy 32gb Groupers for $199 now since most places are lowering them, I guess, in preparation for the new model.
I have a brand new 32gb sitting in a box downstairs. I guess I'll sell both and buy a new one, if its worth it.

Because apple is better. NO. Because here in Australia good android tablets are as hard to find as it is easy to find iPads. There really aren't many choices things like n10 is just to complicated to obtain. That's why, if I am given a CHOICE, I will choose android every time, but here there isn't any choices.

Which iPad? The 4 is hardly a bad tablet-- I was thinking of trading in my iPad 3 (the performance bump from the 3 to the 4 is really quite nice), but ultimately didn't have time to go in today and the promotion is over. Honestly, I like it more than any of my Android tablets because the thing is rock solid no matter what, but I do a lot of my tinkering on my Android tabs so it's at least partially my fault.
I would wait and acquire the nexus 7 second generation.

I don't think they're terribly innovative at all... but they do make a seriously great smartphone. I've owned every iPhone since the 4, and will continue to do so because of how awesome they are. I really feel bad for all the blind iHaters. They're missing out on some amazing tech.
I've been waiting ages for an iPhone with a decent sized screen. Can you imagine iOS gaming on a 5.5" screen? I pitch a tent just thinking about it.
That's one area where Android just pales in comparison to iOS. Gaming.

Eh, even the mini can be too big and cumbersome for a lot of games. Both of these new iPhones are going to be gaming powerhouses. I'm still torn on which size to get. I really want the 5.5" but considering I had to sell my OnePlus One because it was too big, I might not be able to manage it... though I might make an exception for the iPhone and just deal with it.

Nexus 6 discussion thread

I mean what was Google thinking...
6 inches for f***s sake. 5" was good enough, you could've taken it to 5.5" but 6 is just straight pain. Everything is so awesome and then you have many reasons not to upgrade to nexus 6 like 10.1 mm thickness the motorola logo on the back so big killing the grace of Nexus logo and of course the 6" giant display. We needed a phone and not a phablet.

I know and the purpose of this thread is Nexus 5 users' opinion on the phone.
The size is not the problem, the size of the price tag is. Damn, I can't even tell you how disappointed I am... Moto X 2014 GPE for me.
too big, too ugly, too much
Current Nexus 4 owner here who will not be buying the Nexus 6. I agree too big and too pricey. I only hope they continue to sell the Nexus 5 (32GB Black currently out of stock). That's the only phone I want to purchase now. Would have been nice if Google did a slight refresh of the Nexus 5 to sell to users who don't want a mammoth phone. If they had taken the Moto X and added Qi charging and called it the Nexus 5 (2014) I'd be ecstatic.
Beastly phone. It's such a shame it's so big, in my opinion.
Phablet users get to rejoice. Everyone else, not so much. Such a shame there's no updated Nexus 5.
Looks like I'm going to save some money. Too big, way more expensive and doesn't come in black. Not tempted at all in buying this and ditching my N5.
It comes in pints? I'm getting one!
OK so quick question. Preorders start for this at the end of the month. Does anybody know if I will be charged as soon as I pre-order or if I won't be charged until it ships?

until it's official, it's just a guess, but as with the the other Nexus devices in the play store, you never got charged before it actually shipped.

Yeah that is what I was basing it on. How that's how it goes with nexus 6
Too many other options in that price range with the play editions out there. I would have bought it around $100-$150 more, but IMO its not worth $250 more. I'm staying with the 5 and probably buying a few more of those if they go on sale for my wife and kids.
Google missed the mark on this one, I guess they want us to help out for paying too much for Motorola...
I will wait for the device on display and compare before I buy it (maybe not), the size does concern me, the thickness (1cm) and weighs 50 grams more
