Got my faultless 16G Nexus7 - Nexus 7 General

Finally mine arrived.
After one day of use, I find it better than iPad for me.
I use it for typing notes and reading ebooks.
Unlike iPad which needs iTunes and corresponding apps, all I have to do is to copy pdfs into it and install my favorite TouchPal keyboard.
Everything works smoothly. And I can bring it around easily with one palm.
For those who are still hesitate, I do recommend this one, if your needs are like mine.

[Q] Has anyone tried a comic viewer?

I'm on the very edge of getting a Gtab for general use. I currently have an Ideapad s10-3t with windows 7 but its just not setup for tablet use. The main reason I got the ideapad was to read comics. It does this very well but with the extra heft of the 8 cell battery it can get heavy after reading for a while. So, has anyone tried comic reader mobi or droid comic viewer on this thing?
You REALLY should PM Roebeet on this one if you don't hear from him!! If memory serves correctly that's his bag. He got suckered in and now we all force him to work on development stuff
I have a couple of comics I wanted to read but it was a pain to do on the iphone or touch so they sat for a few years. So last night I used Android Comic Viewer and it worked great. I noticed that it just loads all the comic files which is nice but it crashes or force closes after a bit. If there was a way to only load one at a time maybe that would solve the problem.
So when I did a search before I made this thread I searched for comic and not Comic. After doing a search for Comic I came up with a couple threads and one which covers my question : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864442&highlight=Comic
I have been using the ComiXology reader for about 10 days now. I've only used it for free comics so far. I read there were issues trying to use it for paid comics, but some have had success sideloading purchased comics.
The reader works really well. I'm amazed how the graphics come to life...
Well i'm not Roebeet but I can vouch for ACV or Droid Comic Viewer, works well for me far as most files. I love old school comics like Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and Howard Chaykin's "The Shadow"(1986 DC Ruled the comic book world). The only issue for me is crappy angled screen viewing, and that is a small issue. I havent tried the others however.
I was using Droid Comic Viewer until I started to get a lot of FCs and memory errors on some CBRs. I'm now using JJ Comic viewer and it's opened everything I've thrown at it including the ones that were FCing on Droid Comic Viewer.
Can you open .cbr or .cbz files in comixology? I downloaded it to my phone but didn't see an option to do that. Also does ACV or the other apps support rotating the comic?(not the app, the actual comic in the app).

I believe the ComiXology viewer only supports comics books downloaded/purchased through their site. I haven't purchased any comic books from their site to date. Many free comics are offered each week.
Mobi comic reader works well. Just tried the android comic viewer and I like it also.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going this weekend to my local Sears and picking one up. Now that the source has dropped this will make a nice new toy to keep me occupied for a while.
ACV will crash due to memory issues. If you go into setting and remove the advance load/buffer or whatever it will fix it. It's one of the best free reader IMO.
Comic Reader Mobi is the king, but it's like $15.
I use driod comic viewer for my cbr and cbz files. The low memory setting is under- settings>support> and check off low memory mode.

I agree, I've been using it since I heard about it last week or so and I've found it to be excellent overall. The range of free comics is awesome, most series have at least the first issue free, or a 10 page sample or similar. And the ones to buy are great too. The reading experience is very neat in general, the guided flow is a nice touch so you only see what is currently important; with options to view the full page though.
I've found a few small problems, it can get into a state where it displays a default 'image not found' logo for some pages; after contacting them they said it's simply an out-of-memory issue and that restarting the app/device should fix it. It did and after that first time I haven't seen it since. Also, on the topic of buying comics, yes I have a problem. I mostly read the comics on the GTab, not on my hero for obvious reasons; but cannot purchase comics from my tablet, I have to go to the app on my phone or the web, and then buy, and then log out and back in on my tablet before it'll let me download the new comics. This is obviously kind of annoying, but logging in and out is quick and painless so not too bad.
So yeah, there are problems, but for all of the ones I've mentioned I've submitted feedback to the company and for the first two (not showing pages, deleting comics I no longer wanted from my device) I received prompt feedback by the end of the day with info on how to resolve it and for the final two (not buying comics, having a sync button to avoid the log in/log out issue) they just said they're planning many improvements over the next year. In general, an excellent app and my new favorite. Because they do have an awesome library of comics. Atomic Robo! Sandman! More!
As for ACV, I tried it and it's a very nice, simple interface and worked well for me on the tablet. But I don't have as many .cbr and .cbv files as I used to so I don't use it much. I got most of mine pirated and thought it was time to go legit.
+1 for JJ Comic viewer. After testing a few different readers, this one seemed the most stable and easy to use. Just got an update for it today too, so development is ongoing.

I've tried this one out on TnT-Lite 4.1.0, and it stays up for a second but then FC's. If I'm in the settings menu, it'll FC and go back to the regular menu. If I wait a second, it'll FC out of that and send me back to the desktop. Was there anything in particular you did to make it stable? This is a new install of TNT-Lite, so I'm wondering if it might be something in Spareparts that's causing it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any word processing apps?

im having a hard time finding a good processing app @[email protected]
What about Google Docs? Does it work in Android browser or Dolphin? It's quite good.
There's going to be QuickOffice Pro HD for Honeycomb coming out soon.
And if you subscribe with your email, there's going to be 30% discount when you purchase it.

Has anyone tried MS office for web? It runs very good in chorme on desktop, waiting for my wifi xoom to see how it works in honeycomb browser
Search office live in google to find it i cant post outside links yet
I have paid for Documents to Go and Picsel Smart Office. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I like Picsel because it is the only app so far that displays graphics correctly but track changes are not available until the next big release (they have a good customer support). D2G has the track changes but lacks a lot of correct rendering and PPT support is atrocious. I'm sure in the next 2-3 months we'll have a decent selection to choose from!
Both Office Live and Google Docs are too heavy for the Xoom browsers, which is to be expected, they are not exactly optimized for our screen size and lack of desktop horsepower.
They both run, but are very clunky.
I tried ThinkOffice, no go - FC off the bat.
OfficeSuite Pro trial seems to loose the document as you type, then goes into a "Recover your doc screen" - I couldn't even get a paragraph in with this.
I'm open to suggestions here, I really need a solid Doc/XLS app that won't have issues that hinder it - I don't need full fledge office or anything, but I do need something that will let me View/Edit and finding one that does bullet points would be freakin sweet.
I don't need anything for graphics really, I just really need to read pdf and word docs and be able to edit all of them

What do you mean? I use them on my home computer in the same resolution in a browser that scores less in SunSpider than the Xoom stock browser. Is it because of touch? How would it work with keyboard and mouse (or touchpad)? Have anyone tried?

Try them, you can tell that the browsers struggles. More the office live than Google docs, but even with google docs there are things that you just have to have a mouse for. Sadly there is not yet an HTML standard for touch input as a replacement for mouse events. Especially with things like Hover, Drag, and Drop.

I think that the office apps that are available in the market are more than adequate for some light editing and productivity on the go. Its not necessary for these apps to have full compatibility with desktop versions imho. Being far too critical really.

Sure, I can also use my phone for typing but what I need a tablet to do is to recognize basic fonts, comments, and paragraph formatting. I don't think we're expecting too much. If I want a text editor that's different but if you claim to have a "professional" office suite and can't even display the symbol font then something's not right. But I'm glad it works for you!
i also ordered quick office HD and I mainly use powerpoint but quick office keeps auto advancing the slides. I don't want to have to keep pressing the pause button every time I manually advance the slides. Does anyone know how to turn off the auto advancing so that I can just manually advance the slides when I want to?
I have Quickoffice Pro HD. Not too impressed with it. I'm a college student so I bought my Xoom for notetaking in my classes (and because I am an Android freak). It works well enough for notes, but not as I would like it to. Formatting is very weird, and the worst part is no auto correct or spell check. If I am going to type fast and efficiently, I can't be going back every five seconds to touch the screen and change a letter. Very frustrating.
I'm hoping the office tech catches up with tablets soon. Don't really understand why I can't just have the same text functionality in my word processing app that I do in my Gmail or text messages.

[Q] Best Nook Optimizations for School?

Hello Nooksters,
The summer is almost over and I'm about to go into 6th grade. I want to use the Nook for replacing some old-fashioned things (calculator, notebook, scratch paper, etc). Also, I want to read books on it (D'oh) So basically I want to optimize the Nook Color for use at school. The only thing I know for a fact is which ROM I'm gonna use. Which is MIUI. So here is the list that sums up the thread:
What is the best calculator app?
What is the best app to use as a notebook and which stylus should I use to tale notes with the app? This one is the biggy. I need the best Stylus for writing.
What is the best app to read books? (I'm thinking Aldiko Premium.)
What is the best OC settings to not have the NC's battery die?
Any other suggestions to make the Nook awesome?
Sorry if my post is hard to understand. I was in a rush writing this....
Thanks!

Wow 6th grade! As a college student who is planning on using the nook for school, I too would like to know some suggestions.
As for books, the normal aldiko works great for me. I don't think premium has any real big additions to it.
Oc settings will differ, so place around with them now to get a feel for it now.
Sent from my B&N Nook Color
I like the Notion Ink calculator if you're thinking you need a scientific calculator.
I have yet to use a stylus on a capacitive screen so I have no idea.
Aldiko seems to be pretty good.
Ezpdf and docs2go have been a big help to me. The docs2go powerpoint viewer works beautifully in landscape. I use jorte as my calendar/scheduler/to do list. It syncs with google calendar and tasks.
I'll have to check out that calculator.
Impressed that you guys are looking into this technology (6th Grade and checking out XDA). I remember when I tried looking at this for my university studies on the old Windows Mobile 6.x platform. Technology has come a long way but not seen 'decent' stylus notetaking capabilities. I got my wife a stylus for the iPad and even that did not allow real notetaking. Used on the nook and was even worse.
An alternative suggestion (especially for apps) is to use Thumb Keyboard. I have used this to quickly write up information and the keyboard layout, especially in landscape, makes for easier typing. Marry this with Dropbox and Documents2Go and you have all your notes, presentation files, reader and spreadsheet capabilities. I understand these are paid apps (except for Dropbox) but these are good tools to have for anyone with info on the go. Also great to start notes on tablet, then finish off report/presentation on a laptop.
I think Google Apps has everything you need in terms of calendar/email/tasks to keep you on track. I don't have any suggestions as far as calculator apps go but spreadsheets will be the way you will likely end up (you do need to know the basics and be able to calculate by hand but spreadsheets are the way to go).
I really think the Nook (tablets in general) are best used for viewing information at the moment but am keen to see where technology goes in the future so was interested in your thread (so Thanks).
Thanks for all the replies, heres what I got:
Targus Stylus w/ Handrite to take notes
Aldiko Premium (already had it)
I grabbed Notion Ink's Calculator app, works awesomely, saved me from buying a new calculator!
Fooled around and decided to settle with 1.1 GHz on Powersave governor in class, 1.2 GHz w/ performance at recess.
I got QuickOffice HD so I can make Documents, will try out the other apps suggested though.
Once again, thanks for everything guys!
Update: Install Jorte. Works awesome! Thank you!
Notion Ink's Calc app no longer works anymore. I re installed and wiped data and stuff. So no go. Is there any other good-looking scientific calculator out there? Thanks.
Over Docs2Go, I picked QuickOffice HD like I said. It can make + read Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. Pretty nice.
Droid48, HP 48GX, best calculator ever made. You'll never run out of things you can do on it, and on the NC's screen it's gorgeous and fast.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/droid48/org.ab.x48
Back when I was in college a million years ago I used it to keep notes on, track assignments and grades, wrote a dozen little nifty utilities to do random things for engineering school, etc.
Of course most of that you'd do in the NC directly these days, but there's a million tools out there for the HP48 if you're doing algebra, calculus, engineering, etc.. http://www.hpcalc.org/
I don't know how many times ALG48 (serious Algebra tools) and QPI (reduces number, such as 3.333333 = 10/3, or 1.25663706144 = (2/5)*pi )
Dont forget Wolframalpha. It requires a wireless link. Its more for a high school or college student.

I think I'll stick with SOWGcalc. Thanks though. Anything else I can do?

Will check out....
Edit: Works well, but kinda hate the UI.
Don't waste your time looking for a stylus. The Nook screen does not respond to capacitive styluses well at all. I cannot be used for note taking that way. If you need to take notes with a stylus you're going to have to drop $580 for an HTC Flyer.
Just grabbed the Targus stylus... work pretty nice. It won't be a hardcore notebook, but it works. And the Flyer is know only $500 @ best buy., Magic Pen included. Whoop de doodle dim!
Download the new evernote app for tablets. Its in beta. It would work good for typed notetaking.

What about a small fold up or roll up bluetooth keyboard?
ikingblack, I know you said you've already gone with (and paid for) QuickOffice HD because it can create Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files but for other users info I want to point out that Documents2Go can also do all those in old and new document formats (.doc and .docx for example). It also includes a pdf viewer but ezpdf is better since it can reflow text and place multiple named bookmarks.
I'm interested in hearing about your experience taking notes with the stylus. Can it keep up? I can't help but think a keyboard would be faster but I haven't tried. It would certainly be very convenient for math to use a stylus but does handrite allow symbol and diagram input?
I actually had tried a bluetooth keyboard on my old iPaq (yes, that is HP iPaq using windows mobile 6.1). Just not as instantaneous and took up space. Remember, note taking is quick and instantaneous. I know the tech has come along way but don't underestimate the time it takes to bring out the keyboard, unfold, pair, etc., you would have lost the thought. This was always my problem which stopped me from using it. Just look around at how many people are using fold up keyboards as there primary input device. I'm struggling here to remember seeing any fold out keyboards compared to laptops or iPads.
I had a fold out IR keyboard for my Palm PDA years ago. Besides the keys being recessed into the case itself, making typing the Space key a pain, the alignment of the IR sensor and the battery seemingly always being dead.... Makes me cringe thinking about external keyboards.
I'd think they've gotten better. I actually saw someone with a better version doing the same thing taking notes in some classes, but I guess I went cheap. But I've never tried to take notes in class electronically, as I'm a tactile learner I suppose. Plus if I write the notes then transcribe them electronically it gives my cinder-block brain two attempts to learn it.

Right. Other users might want to use Docs2Go, but I already paid for QuickOffice HD. The Stylus cannot be used for full and hardcore note taking, but neither can the Flyer's Magic Pen. It is for simple scratch paper when you don't want to get up and get some. I am very happy with my stylus, it performs better then I expected. I don't need a BlueTooth Keyboard, I doubt the teacher would let me use it in class. The new TouchPal beta is great for me. All in all, I recommend this for school:
1 Targus Stylus for iPad (DO NOT get the one for tablet, it doesn't work well)
1 Nook Color (duh)
1 Copy of either QuickOffice HD, or Documents2Go + EZPDF
1 Copy of Handrite free from the Market
1 Copy of Jorte, for task management.
1 Copy of SOWGcalc (awesome UI, but not to advanced. Good for simple calculations.) and RealCalc, for more scientific stuff.
That's it. I am sure school will be great when it starts in 2 weeks with all of this stuff.

Ebook reading experience

Hi guys, can you provide some feedbacks regarding the reading experience of ebooks or pdfs? How do you value the nexus 7 compared to the kindle touch for example? Is it making your eyes tired after some time?
Thanks in advance
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
Works well for me, i can read for hours at a time.
I've used an eInk reader for several years now, but realised that I mostly read at night in bed. eInk is OK with a small booklight, though keeping a supply of batteries charged was a pain. But reading in low-light with the Nexus is a lot better. The display is crisper (most eInk displays are still 166dpi compared to the Nexus' 213), the contrast is better, and I'm finding it easier to read. If you're looking for something to take to the beach or read outdoors in sunlight then eInk will probably be a better choice, but for me the Nexus is superior.
If you're reading ePubs get Mantano, the rest are all trash.
I really like it so far, it's great to switch to at night. During the day I use my Nook Touch and in the evening I switch to the N7, it's perfect.
Take away the screen flicker and it's better than the Nook. That being said it's easier to be distracted, for example look up a word, check a sports score... forget about book.

I have your issue, it really is great to read on. But then watching video, playing games...there all great too
It's to personal preference and usability. If you read during the day or outside, I prefer the e-ink readers. But since I read mostly at night, I use the Nexus set at lowest brightness.
The Kindle app on all other Androids is not the same as the Kindle app on the Kindle Fire. So if you are heavily invested in Kindle books I'd suggest waiting to see what Amazon has coming out in the next few months.
It's mainly the wide margins that get me:

I've been using the Amazon Kindle app to read .mobi files and it works great. The Amazon app is actually pretty good. But I know that's a little dated and epub is what's up.
It would be great to be able to import already owned books into the Google Books app, but I don't think that's currently possible.

Just copy them into the Kindle folder and they show up in the app.
Using the stock PDF reader, text and images are blurry if they are off the center of the screen.
Can someone recommend a good 3rd party reader? One that can add bookmarks as well.
75% of my Nexus 7 use is as an eBook and I love it. I use the Kindle App and set the tone to Sepia which, to me, makes reading for hours very easy.

a great app for the N7 thanks #9 for that!
I still prefer reading on my eINK device, a Kobo Touch. It is lighter and there are more fonts. I can make more adjustments (e.g. line spacing, margins, font tuning). I tend to read on it during the day, and then read on the N7 at night so I don't disturb my spouse. This is only doable, IMO, for books that sync between the app on the N7 and the eINKL device. No syncing is a no-go for me.
I read tons on mine. Highly reccomended.

moon + for the win. there was a small problem tha ti told them about in landscape mode,, and they fixed it already.
Kindle, Adobe Reader, built-in document viewer... all work pretty well, and I personally have never had any significant problems with reading from a screen. I'm still hedging my bets for Amazon to go the "get a free digital copy if you buy a physical book" way, since I rather like my bookshelves...

Best apps for classes and note taking?

I bought the kfhd primarily for free books and overall tablet goodness.
Anyone know of any good school apps? I'm personally looking for one with the ability to drawn on and edit pdfs. Also a better keyboard, but that's not happening any time soon...
I use my kindle for class. If you root it, you can install OneNote from the play store. I couldn't get sync to work before rooting, but now it's wonderful.
I would recommend installing Swype or your choice of a faster typing method, or even buying the (expensive) Bluetooth keyboard. I bought the stylus recommended by Amazon and it has definitely sped up my swyping. It also helps keep my screen clean.
I also purchased the foxit keyboard app, which I think is even available in the Amazon store for a couple of bucks. They make my favorite desktop application for reading pdfs, so I thought I'd give their app a shot. It seems to work pretty well, and syncs notes and color scribbles with desktop version, but I haven't played around with it much yet.
Good luck!
