Hey guys,

I also own a Galaxy Nexus (CM10.1 too).
My question is: What yould you do with your broken screen Nexus 7?
Touch doesnt work, but the screen does.
I can remotely control it or use a keyboard and mouse, but...
What would you use it for?
Any sugestions are apreciated.

extended screen would be nice
it would cost too much to replace the digitizer, woudln't it?

Plug in a USB mouse using a OTG cable and use daydream clock mode for a nice clock. Or maybe use it to shuffle through old photos or whatnot. With OTG and a mouse you can use it pretty much for anything

Take it apart, and sell all the parts on eBay, you might make a decent amount of money.
I broke my iPod nano, sold the metal housing and click wheel for almost 30$
Or.... Pack it full of explosives and blast it sky high

Selling parts is not a bad idea at all, but... I grew fond of it, even though I have a hard time using it!

Buy a brand new n7... remove it from the box... Package up your broken n7 in the same box and return it to the store same day with the receipt.

Oh and seriously, nobody will notice the differences in serial number. I mean nobody. How? Well, you file the s/n off...
You will be lucky to get a fine from the police for doing this. It is cheaper to buy a new one and sell the old one on ebay.

It has the same processor as the GNex, with an open source operating system. Full Android will probably be running on it within a month. Sounds better than a smart tv in a much more aesthetically pleasing device with nfc.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Why would I need Android in a tv box when I have it in my hand? Short of a DVR function, the only thing I need it to do is wirelessly stream media from my hand to the TV. $99 is the price point for that, not $299. And I was never sold on the "everybody can use it" thing either, unless I'm coming to your house and jacking your stereo lol.

Yeah the everybody can use it thing is bs. I just like the idea of a Pseudo android device that I can use my phone and tablet as a wireless control for without having to use proprietary apps.
The Q is on my list. Its pretty neat but with my mhL adapter and mk802 android mini PC I'm not needing it just yet.

I think the price will drop when it released, most companys list the price high before it get released and in mine country it's listed for 60$.
Think that will be normal price all around, since mine country are known for high price on everything and specially compared to US. Except if order direct from Samsung website and it will cost 99$. Since Samsung have a promote code for 50% and Im sure teh dock will cost around 45$ at store when it released.
The correct question is: Does it include Ubuntu?

I don't have one but am very interested in one. Where did you get yours for 35% off?
I have it. Sometimes the hdmi doesn't work. I have to take off and put back on. Otherwise its great. Not $100 worth so im glad I didn't pay full price, but very handy at work and home.
What does this dock do differently? I got a cheap dock on Amazon that works great for me.

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.

Ps3 hardware help(kinda)

Seeing as most PS3 sites give me no response I figured I'd post here and see if the great xda community could help...
Well I bought a phat PS3 from a yard sale for 25 bucks, guys said it wouldn't take disks, i figure hell the disk drives out I have a spare why not. I take it home disassembled it and find the the guy broke the clamp for the ribbon cable to the mother board. So now where I'm at is how do I Gerry rig this cable into place, where it will hold a constant connection, any ideas?
O also I tried running a firmware update and am now stuck in a boot loop of update because it can't find the drive...FAIL ON MY BEHALF :banghead:
