so i found this buttons... so i bought them.. they actually work great a bit off the screen but nothing that interrupt the game play... so i guess i wont be doing anything lol no need these are inexpensive and practical....
so i wont let me post the link... search it on ebay by Ten One Design Fling Joystick Ninja iPad 2&1
Is this it ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/C26-Ten-One-Design-Fling-Joystick-Controller-Ninja-iPad-/220738850157
Will that work on our tabs
Can you take a picture of the joysticks on the tab? Curious how well it fits since it's made for the ipad.
That thing looks MASSIVE
yes they are kind of big but it does not affect the gameplay when playing landscape.... ill try to put some pic this week...
Bought a set of 2 from ebay as well after reading the recommendation here. The suction cups goes off the viewable area of the screen a little but it fits and works fine and doesn't obstruct gameplay. Played Death Worm for 2 hours with it and a bit of Gun Bros with both to control movement and firing and it really made controlling a lot easier than using my finger. The only issue that I should note is that if you have a screen protector that uses the material like Zagg's Invisible Shield, Ghost armor, or skinomi (basically the rubbery type protectors) it makes extreme movements a bit difficult because of the friction with that type of material. Honestly, it happens with my fingers too so I don't blame the joystick. All in all I highly recommend it if you play games that have a large touch joystick. Currently waiting on normal plastic screen protectors and will see how the joystick work with them.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Thanks!!!

I just got my Nexus 7 and I am NOT liking the ergonomics. I find it difficult to hold on the sides. I'm coming from a Nook Color which is easy to grip anywhere with one hand. If the edges were not as round on the back, I don't I think I would have such a problem. Also I had expected the "rubber" back to have better grip. I don't know if these are deal breakers for me just yet. Grip or holdability from the bottom is pretty good; I perhaps could get use to it. Everything else is amazing including build quality, except the usb cable is too short at 3 feet; I wouldn't use it, except charging is too slow without it. What's going to help with the ergonomics, a skin or case?
I think I'll add a poll on how well others like the ergonomics.
We've got some baby hands over here....just kidding, but I see what you're getting at. I actually like it for two hand usage more so than one handed. I however really like the feel of the tablet. It just feels solid and premium.

I always wanted a case the has a like a fabric strap that i can slide my hand into.
Saw it on American family Phil was using it on his iPad. I might just buy a case and fashion it on there myself

I'd say they could be better. The first thing I noticed was that I prefer portrait over landscape a lot. The home button is too far away from either of my hands in landscape making it awkward to press. It's also hard to type in landscape since it takes a lot of reach to hit the keys near the middle. Even the sleep button seems a little awkward to press. I have to take my hand totally off the tablet to get to it. I feel I might like it more once I get my case since I'm overly cautious about getting smudges on the bezel right now.
i prefer the homescreen portrait layout. The only thing that i can point my finger on is the tablet wants to be picked up due to the position of the sleep/wake button. Sometimes i prefer to just turn it on while its on the desk but that doesn't seem like an option anymore, also they could have made the screen slightly longer on top and bottom, but when putting it into landscape mode you can see the thinking
Don't get me wrong...I love the N7 but a few things I find difficult coming from the Nook.
every time I try to turn the volume up I end up turning the screen off....
90% of the time that i pick it up I have it upside down. I never had this problem with the Nook thanks to the little ring/hook.
I agree it's slightly awkward to hold, but maybe it's just because I'm being very reserved with my new baby. Gotta keep her clean for a little while at least...
People are generally much more prone to complain when their purchase has some issues, while those who have perfect devices are unlikely to post their experiences. To balance that out, I decided to make this post.
My N7 had a very slight screen lift, and I thought I'll just keep it just in case my replacement unit is worse than my current one. After about 3 weeks, I decided to exchange my device, hoping there will be less production issues. Boy am I happy with that decision. Aside from the screen lift, the buttons on the right side always bothered me because it felt too recessed (hard to press). I thought it was just how the device was designed so I never thought much about it. The buttons on my new unit feels just perfect. Very snappy, easy to press, but not too sensitive. Oh, and no screen lift on the new device.
I really feel bad for those who have exchanged their device more than once or twice.
Expecting my first replacement tomorrow death pixels.

I also got one of these, my roommate did to, both the 16gb models and have had no issues at all...
I just got mine about 3 hours ago and so far it's perfect. It's the 16 gigabyte version and the serial number starts with C 70

I hate saying this but I bought 2 Nexus 7 to swap out parts and make one perfect one. They both had different issues like screen lift, hard to press buttons and missing screws.

The right side of my screen is a lot warmer looking than the left, and it drives me crazy when there's a white background such as a webpage or book.
I missed the Staples return window so I suppose I need to call Asus, just kind of dreading talking to them.
I've considered keeping it but I know I'd be a lot happier if the screen was consistent. (Whites look a lot whiter on the left half of the screen)

You should hold off calling Asus. I think that problem should fixs itself in time.

Hi guys, as you guys all know, those 3 phones I mentioned all have IPS technology for the display.
And as far as I know, the nexus 4 screen sensitivity isn't that great compare to other devices such as my Nexus 10. I could use the back of my finger, which is the nail, to navigate the screen while on the nexus 4, I have to really "touch" the screen. what that means is when I touch it light enough that I can feel the screen, the nexus 4 still won't recognize it until i press it a bit further. :silly:
I've been told this is related to the hardware of the IPS itself? :silly: but i'm not so sure since there's a mod to increase screen responsiveness. I tried it and it works, but the delayed when booting really bugged me .
So anyone with an Optimus G or an iPhone 5? how is the screen sensitive to you guys? can you touch the screen light enough that you can feel the screen but the Nexus won't feel your finger?
If it's more responsive then can we somehow pull the touch driver from the Optimus G to our Nexus 4?
I have Iphone 5 and I never have to put any pressure on the screen for it to work. I barley tap the screen... Even though I havent had a nexus 4, I've had galaxy s3 and I can say iphone 5 screen is more sensitive than s3 screen
None of these phone can recognize the nail finger.

yea but they use a different technology. i believe it's usual LCD. unlike our nexus which has IPS technology.

hmm.. well that's even more interesting because s3 uses super-amoled. which I assumed to be more sensitive since my HTC one S is more sensitive than my nexus.. and if iphone 5 screen is really sensitive with IPS how come our nexus 4 sensitivity is so bad? really hope google would fix this..

The display technology doesn't matter here. It's the digitizer that makes the difference.
From my experience, when you just tap the screen on the nexus 4, you have to press quite "hard" to get it to register the touch.
If you start swiping around, even the lightest pressure will be enough. Even the fingernail works if you do it that way.

did you try it on yours? mine doesn't respond to my fingernail lol :silly: so is there any differences in sensitivity between Optimus G and Nexus 4? do they use different digitizer then? both are manufactured by LG and very similar in terms of hardware wise Any Optimus G owner out there? or had a hands on experiences with Optimus G?
My nexus 4 is very sensitive to touch, I barely need to touch the screen (just float over it) and can use it with the back of my fingers (fingernails). It's been much more sensitive to touch than my Galaxy Nexus ever was.
My N4 is one of the latest batch, maybe improved? I don't know but it's been faultless so far. Also find the screen has nice rich colours almost on a par with the GN, haven't noticed any washed out effect like some state, same goes to my friend who bought one at the same time (1 month ago).
I'm on unrooted stock btw, tried a few custom roms, but find stock better for me (at the moment).

that's great to hear me and my GF bought the nexus 4 right after new year. Both are about 1 month away from each other too. and still the same below par sensitivity. hmm.. maybe google did fixed it hardware wise? if so i really want to sent my phone back lol..
I think custom kernels improves the sensitivity of the screen

I highly doubt it. I got one of the newer models (301k) and my screen sensitivity is awful. Yes if you press it normally most of the time it will work but if you a very light it isn't sensitive at all not compared to my one s. That being said I flashed the old touch driver back (e015) and my nexus 4 is as sensitive as an iphone now. Had the driver for about 2 weeks and I would never go back to the current touch driver that comes with 4.2.2 (e027) Hopefully google fix this but I'm doubtful. The people that say they have amazing sensitivity imo are speaking out of their backsides. They haven't made the devices any different, the screen sensitivity is a SOFTWARE issue and not a hardware issue. This is a link to old touch driver thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163924 It's like a different device!

are you sure its not ur knuckle and just the finger nail? It should, according to design, not register hard things such as finger nails. (unless you have keratin deficiency in which case ur nails might be as soft as skin)

His nexus probably grows wings and flies when he puts it into airplane mode as well. People exaggerate so much sometimes!
It's just fine on my nexus to be honest. Don't know what everybody is on about

as far as i know, there isn't a single touchscreen device on the market (past or present) that will register the fingernail itself.
that said, my Nex4 is from the second batch and is quite sensitive to the touch. some of the touch responsiveness issues could be due to a screen protector too.

But also there are ways to improve responsiveness!
if i remember rightly finger nails only work on resisitive screens

are you sure? last time i checked it didn't work with just the fingernail (no skin). that would be like using an old stylus from a windows phone 5.5/6 device (resistive screen) on a capacitive screen. i highly doubt that works.
Funny thing that I was so disturbed about was how badly insensitive the nexus 4 was compared to my i9300 (gs3). I could use my fingernail and the lightest touch to swipe the screen with the s3. So these things are possible.
I also flashed the kernel months ago and it improved things slightly, but nowhere near what I'm used to. Only problem with that is how much longer it takes to boot and be responsive. Same with TWRP...you have to wait a while to use the device.
So, it's been over 6 months since the Nexus 4 was released. How is yours holding up?
I must say that I am still loving mine (although I have recently ordered an Oppo Find 5 ) and it still looks brand new! No scratches or cracks and I use no screen protector or case, other than the OEM bumper. It is in my pocket on my carpenters jeans all day. I have dropped it a few times and still no damage. I have unlocked and rooted and have been running Paranoid for the last couple of months. Awesome ROM!
Same here. No protector or bumper and it's nearly scratch-free. There's a single tiny micro-scratch I noticed, visible at a certain angle under the right lighting.
It survived a 6 feet drop on concrete. Still no root or custom ROM, but I'll do it eventually.
What's an Oppo Take 5?
Loads of scratches on the back .. Few on the front... Still holding up well though

Mine dropped from the fire place and only has a tiny dink on the chrome. A couple light scratches on the back only visible at a angle. Still working perfectly well.
I have a wet screen protector on the front and back along with a TPU case, making the phone still looking new as when I got it. Received phone November 20th.
The chrome is all scuffed up, but besides that everything else is perfect.
I almost don't take off my case and it's scratched, the scratch is thinner than a hair strand tho. The camera is choppy but I'm satisfied with it... the focus rarely makes a strange sound and when it does, the camera app crashes... I wish I had more options to tweak in camera settings. That's all the complaints I have
Power button dieing soon. Very very not responsive already. Have to use my finger nails to push down the button to click...
Other than that. No scratches due to screen protector on the front and back
I got it at Dec 2012 anyway...
I think youre talking about the Oppo find 5, its a decent high end smartphone, that isnt crazy expensive, 1080p, quad core 1.5ghz $500, fastest phone until the One and GS4 came out
I'm one of the few people who got it first and i've had it in a cheap case after about a month. Now' its still look brand new. No scratches anywhere.

yea but the nexus 4 isnt optimized or something, and lags in heavy games
My Nexus 4 is still holding up well. I got it from a guy who ordered it from Google, cause they were all sold out, around January.
I have scratching on the greyish bezel near the volume rocker, but everything else is great. Been using chameleon launcher because I got bored of the vanilla android.
Anyone else 100% satisfied? The battery life is possibly my biggest gripe. Lasts a full day, but not any longer.

n using it since last Christmas. Small dent on the rubberish part on top and hairline scratches on the chrome outline. Both are caused by the hard cover not covering the top and bottom.

so the back is protected and it also solves the slides around on smooth surfaces issues with the glass back issue
December unit. Still the same as when I brought it out of the box. Just the official bumper and spigen films. Still works great
