At this time, you can pick up one of these from Gamestop:

But I saw these that will be out in about a month:

Happy hunting.

Thanks, looks great! Just need to get GameStop Sweden to stock it!

I've tried lots of off brand bt controllers and they simply feel cheap on don't respond well. I eventually broke down and did the PS3 method and been happy ever since.
The sixaxis app used with the PS3 controllers also let you dedicate buttons to screen areas so it works with more non controller games. Food for thought.

Bluetooth cuts wifi on 4.2.1

Hello.
When I use my Bluetooth headphones my wifi cuts out after about 10 minutes, it only affects the nexus because my xbox can still connect as can my 2 computers and laptop.
I know for a fact it's not my internet as my noise margin is currently at 19.5db download and 25.5db for upload.
help please??

Android 4.2 has a lot of Bluetooth issues. I don't know how to fix it, try to Google it?

Go to apps in settings and go to all apps and find bluetooth share and clear data, it fixed the issue for me

Its slower then dial up when i use the head phones...
dunno why i have a fast internet (24meg down)

I use Bluetooth and wifi at the same time all the time. I have a moga controller that's paired and surf no problem.

Asus, the maker of our N7, had to cut corners to come under $200 mark, so they specc'd a cheap WiFi/Bluetooth chip in the N7. Furthermore, they cut corners on QC, thus the atricious build quality and service issues.

I tried that earlier today, but it had zero impact for me.

I take this back. It doesn't happen all the time and a reset usually fixes it. Sometimes when I pair my Moga, my play store won't load. I can still surf but some apps wont connect. Rebooting fixes it until I attempt to pair again. Its not every time but about 1 out of 5 times.
I thought it was just the Moga Pivot app at first and I just use the universal driver now... but it still cuts wifi occasionally.
Probably just a quirk with 4.2.1

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...

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.

I'm pretty sure that is universally called fraud in almost every society on earth.
No doubt people get away with it, but that doesn't make it not a /dickmove

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.

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:

Look for another parts PS3 on eBay or Craigslist. The chances that part will be broke again is slim.

Good idea but the reason I'm trying to fix this one is because it backwards compatible and plays ps2 games, I am actually in the process of trying something that might work

Neither of those threads are relevant. One of them is about games and the other is about completely different tech.

I would say to either solder it or get someone to, not impossible

Yep it has twice, and has rlod before when playing uncharted 2. Since the case delete and addition of two fans (drilled holes on bottom below main ps3 fan and mounted a fan to push air to it) it has never overheated again

Damn right Lol, my ps3 that was thrown at the ground is pieced together. its an 80 gig phat, the housing is from a 60 gig, disk drive is a refurb off eBay, the power PCB(eject and power button and LEDs) was taken from a 60 gig Lol and everything else is original from the console, I find it amazing she threw it at the ground with a disk in it and the only thing that broke was the power PCB Lol the disk drive was borked because the original owner took it apart to get his game out and lost the laser doh

Friend,
how about lag?
Is it ok?

It is really ok. Streaming videos and other stuff is super quick. Only when playing games such as real racing 3 there is lag and problems with picture sharpness, but I didn't bought it for games. I have samsung keyboard with mouse pad so I wanted to use it as pc. But this with multi widnow makes me angry.

Im gonna have to look into this on my tv.

I have the Verizon note 2 and I just tried it. No it doesn't work. I held down the back button and got nothing on the TV or phone. I turned off cast and worked as normal.
A work around would be nice. I can't imagine why that would be disabled.

At least it was cheap.

I don't really see the need, if you connect to wifi with the phone tv, or blue ray you can stream all day without issue.

Allshare dongle is overpriced. Chromecast is multi platform and thus can be used with all your tablets/smartphones and computers.
