I am planning to use my Nexus 7 as navigation. So my idea was to connect it to my phone for tethering but I still need to mount the laptop somewhere.
Does anybody know a bike mount for the Nexus 7? I found this: http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/360444409938?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&cbt=y. It is for the Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus. The cost is about 45 pounds but I am not sure if the Nexus 7 is going to fit.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Might see if you can get a hold of the MFG to see what they currently make that might fit.
They apparently make a lot of different mounts, but I didn't see a contact number for them in the very short time I looked.

That's just nuts, really. Your face is 2 feet from the handlebars, why would you need a 7" tablet there?
Getting a sturdy, waterproof, wreckproof case for a smaller Android phone was a challenge for me, and that was just fitting a Nexus One..
Try using your nexus outside first
I don't want to rain on your parade, but try using your nexus 7 outside in the sun first before getting the mounts. Even on the maximum brightness, the screen is a bit hard to see under full sunlight. I'd have a hard time reading the nexus 7 screen on my bike when it was sunny out.
Wouldn't get any of those since they don't protect from... anything.
I saw some full protections on ebay for SGS II (water and shocks mostly), you should check if they do it for nexus 7 too.
I would feel safer putting my phone on my bike rather than my tablet. Let us know what you found !
I cycle close to 50 miles a week and I would never want to mount my nexus on any of my bikes! But good luck with your search.

I've got a lot of wearables (Pebble, Gear, Fitbit, Glass, etc.) and the Gear beats them all by a wide margin based on functionality, ease of use and looks.
I'm still baffled that nearly every review and comment I see still bashes it.
Especially with the latest updates it has become a great device.
I don't understand that either. I mean my only complaint is that I haven't been pushed the new update but I plan to manually do so anyways and the battery life isn't the greatest. But honestly what do you expect from a watch that does so much? I'm happy I don't see what everyone else's problem is. Maybe they expected to strap it on and start curing cancer or something... Its a watch people.

You hit the nail on the head. I have the Quallcom Toq in addition to the Galaxy Gear, and the only better feature with the Toq is their interferometric modulator*display technology (Mirasol display). With this technology, 3 to 5 days battery life can be obtained with heavy usage if the backlight is not used, but the display itself is always on and readable, and actually becomes more readable in direct sunlight. With the display always lit, it appears less nerdy than a blank faced (no display) smartwatch. Bottom line is, I'd rather have one full days battery life out of a useful smartwatch, than 3 to 5 days of battery life from a smartwatch that is only marginally useful and is clunky in its operation. With note 3 tucked in pocket, on a ladder installing an in ceiling speaker, I can answer a call on the Galaxy Gear from my wife, so she can tell me she crashed into my car that was parked in our garage. True story.
Could it be better, sure.... But for a company that took a chance to beat Apple to the mass production line, it is pretty impressive.
My 2 cents worth.
Completely agree with you. I bought a metawatch when it first came out as a developer watch. It was awesome at the time, but the gear blows it out of the water. I mean, battery life isn't bad. I think people read the 25 hours and think it's true. When I first got my gear, I couldn't put it down and still got 2 full days. Now I'm getting close to 4 days. With the notification update, this thing just got way cooler and more useful. It just keeps getting better and better every day. I can't help but to think that people that give it bad reviews either have not really owned one or have not used it to it's potential.
Well and I have some "inside" info. They are planning something big with the watch Samsung is building a new rom every day.....

I watched a ton of reviews on YouTube, and while they were all basically saying cool device but lots of problems, there was one similarity. They were ALL done within the first week or two of release. Before a lot of the issues were addressed (namely the notification issue). Even reviews released late November were actually using pre-updated information.
Under my daily usage (heavy notifications, reminders, calls and pictures), I get easily 1.5 days. And since I charge my phone every night anyways, it's no biggie to charge my watch as well. I used to take my regular watch off every night as well, now the only difference is an additional charging cord.
I'm happy with battery life, amazed at how much they crammed into a watch (seriously, this is a WATCH, and look at its capabilities, not even with rooting and such), and am not even mad about the price (my wife bought me a watch a few years ago for about half the cost, and all it has going for it is a few small diamonds inlaid in it. All IT can do is tell me the time)

I've checked out all other reviews on other watches, And my gear do way more than those other watches
Would be nice if it worked with other Android devices though, Like my Nexus 5.
Sometimes the Note is a little large for where I'm going so the N5 is ideal & the Gear would complement it brilliantly.
Hey guys i got a couple of question, I have the pebble watch so when the notification comes on the watch and you view it does it clear it from the phone? also with the pebble watch the talkback system on the phone turns on so that means when i use the stock browser the voice says like "page loading or page loaded" im guessing the gear doesnt do that right?
The device was bound to get bad reviews because of the limited functionality, and limited usability before it was available to the current crop of smartphones.
And even then, you have the issues that Google Wallet faced when it was first released... if it only works with a couple of phones to do a few things, people are going to be quick to dismiss it as a "gimmick"
And it doesn't help when it's not a cheap gimmick as well. Unless you're a serious tinkerer -- like most of the people reading this thread -- you have to be seriously committed to not just Android but to the Samsung ecosystem as a whole in order to actually enjoy spending $300 on this smartwatch.
If Samsung releases a complete solution that would allow the Gear to work with ANY Android phone that supports Bluetooth LE, and work flawlessly without any tinkering, then you'll see a turnaround in the reviews -- much like you saw with the Gear Manager update that allowed additional notifications.
Their application development for the Gear is invite-only, so even if you had access to an SDK you couldn't publish any apps for use with the watch -- again, unless it was restricted to people "like us" that don't mind going out of their way to push an apk and sideload it to their watch, at the risk of turning it into a brick.
It's going to take some doing, and I don't know if Samsung will actually do what is necessary for this particular generation of the Gear to become a mainstream device. I'm glad I got one, but in retrospect it's really a lot of hard work to fully extract its potential. Until Samsung addresses this, I doubt you'll see many stellar reviews.
I'd like to see what version you guys are going to go for with the S5. I kinda like the TouchWiz version because of the Gear Fit, and stock Android is a little boring IMO. With little to no performance difference between the skinned S5 and stock Nexus 5 now, which version would you opt for and why?
Also worth noting that with past GPE devices the cameras were always better on the skinned versions IIRC.
I'm having the same questions..is it possible to flash touchwiz Roms on the gpe edition? Cause if so it may be worth getting since it might be hard to root the carrier versions

+1. If buying off-contract, that would be nice. It would probably be hard though because of Knox. I doubt that they'd support Gear though if you did a ROM.

I'm buying TW LTE with snapdragon 801. I'm also buying Gear Fit (most likely, considering Gear 2), but that depends on whether Gear 2 has same functionality as Gear Fit (in terms of fitness coaching). If it does, I'm torn apart between Fit and 2, if it doesn't I'm just buying the Fit. I really like to have personal fitness coach thingies.
Android stock camera app sucks. That's all.
Definitely the touchwiz version, never been a fan of stock android on a phone.

Yeah I want a Gear Fit because they look pretty cool and also do notifications. Problem is, AT&T's $50 off when you get an S5 and Gear doesn't apply to the fit D:
I'm probably gonna end up waiting for the Moto 360 and X2 before I get a smartwatch.

I have been thinking about that too, because the Moto 360 and X2 might be really nice.
But I like the Gear Fit so much because it has that fitness coach thing.

The fitness thing is no big deal for me TBH. I only like it because it's different and looks cool
Moto stuff has really caught my eye though, but my wrists are really small so the 360 would look huge.

I only hope the curved amoled + it being rectangular keeps up in the smartwatch world. I kind of want to see an Android Wear port for the Gear Fit.
Does anyone know the differences between Gear 2 and Gear Fit? (aside from hardware differences, those are obvious)

Gear 2 runs Tizen, and Fit runs a Real-Time OS.
Gear 2 is less fitness oriented design wise, but has most (if not all) of the fitness functionality the Fit has.
Fit has no open SDK, hence no 3rd party app support (because of extremely limited hardware). Gear 2 has both. Developers can, however, make Android apps work with the Fit (just not run on them).
Gear 2 can make calls and respond to messages. Fit can only give you notifications.
Gear 2 has a camera and IR Blaster. Fit does not.
$300 Gear 2 ($50 off at AT&T with an S5), $200 Gear Fit (no available discounts).
I think that about sums it up!
Oh, and an Android Wear port most likely wouldn't work because of the insanely low specs on the Fit.
EDIT: Gear 2 has 2-3 days of battery life and the Fit has 4-5.
Neo is exactly the same as 2 except without a metal build or camera (but it has a light sensor that looks more like a camera than the actual camera on the Gear 2 ).

Thanks, that's a great deal of info. If the Gear 2 has all the same functionality as the Gear Fit (when it comes to the fitness coach thing and stuff), I'll probably buy the Gear 2. If the Fit is unique, I might but that. But the way it looks right now, the extra functionality on the Gear 2 makes it look more attractive imo.
EDIT: you seem to be able to snooze alarms and revoke calls with the Gear Fit. Does that mean other stuff might be possible?

Yeah no problem! Advantages of the Fit are the curved screen, twice as long battery life, lighter weight, and cheaper price. That's about it (will edit my post with battery life info).
I doubt much else on the Fit is possible, as it isn't sending text or voice data to the phone and it's hardware is so limited. It may eventually have notification support for more apps though, but I don't think you can even read texts on it. As I said, devs can build Android apps to support the Fit for extra functionality. This may give the Fit a few more features.

Fun story some of you might enjoy...
So I've had the Nexus 5 for the past year (loved it) and when the Nexus 6 was announced, I was hot to trot to buy it. I sold my nexus 5 last week for $280 (sweet now my Nexus 6 would only cost me $370. I activated an old school candybar phone to use until I got my Nexus 6.
So after 2 days of using the candybar phone I was already over the lack of technology (browsing the web on a WAP browser!!!). I've always admired apple's products for their build quality and cameras.
So I figured what the hell, I'll buy an iphone 6 to use while I waited for my Nexus 6. And... if in that time I fell in love with apple, I'd just keep it. I downloaded all my apps that I'd had on android and for the most part all my apps were available. That's where the problems started. The OS is so limited I was finding simple things I could do on android no longer available. For instance, I couldn't put icons right above the bottom row (apple defaults to placing icons in the next available position, so if i only had 2 icons on my home screen, the 3rd icon would be at the top of the phone).
Anywho, the iphone 6 with the apple leather case was REALLY NICE. I loved the build quality and wish there were an iphone 6 running Lollipop (that would be heaven). The Camera also took amazing pics.... the TouchID... awesome... But... that's where the negatives took over.
I also started thinking how the Nexus 6 is going to be too big... so, I went on craigslist and found a brand new Nexus 5 32gb for $350 (I basically lost $70 in this deal) and man does it feel good to be back... So good... I might even skip out on the Nexus 6 altogether as I REALLY like the form factor/size of the Nexus 5.
Anywho... that's all.
The irony, oh the irony! You went through all that just to find out what many of us already feel about the Nexus 5...

Bye Bye :highfive:
Google just didn't do it for me with the N6. So I'm keeping the N5 and getting a PS4. Thanks google. lol
I'm keeping my N5 too because N6 is too big and not 64bit.
The OnePlus One is nice. I have both, and my Nexus 5 mostly collects dust. You can pre-order one without an invite on Monday.
gonna get an xbox one with that n6 money
Yep. Getting a PS4 with that money. In the meantime I'll be waiting for the first 64-bit phone I guess.
I will hold my Hammerhead until Snapdragon 810/808 release next year. :good:
(in my country i6 & i6 plus are not sell yet and they have very high demand)
had the same exact experience.
My history was something like:
iPhone 1G
iPhone 3G
iPhone 4
Galaxy Nexus (took it the momenti ICS was released, everything was ugly and buggy, sold after 1 week)
iPhone 4 Again
iPhone 5 (After all the "minimalistic design" hype iOs7 was released. That was ugly)
Nexus 4 (problem with delayed notifications)
Galaxy S4 Google Edition
Nexus 5
iPhone 6 (Really liked the hardware too much not to try it. Brought back after less than 24 hours due to what I'll explain later)
Nexus 5 with L Preview (-Really- that minimal design that I was looking for from iOs. This thing is now gold)
So, the real problem with the new iPhones? Navigation.
The part describing you can't position apps on the bottom of the phone was no big deal until 4.7" screens, along with that slim and slippery body. Also, on iOs, the standard back button placement is in the top right corner. Impossible to reach with one hand without risking everythime dropping your phone. With Androids back button quickly checking emails, conversations in Whatsapp, Facebook messenger etc. really is a breeze.
Some other things that really bothered me: You can't change notification tones for most third party apps. Gmail and Facebook messenger are two of those, you're stuck with the sound the developer chose for you. This is quite embarassing, considering the annoying and loud DING Facebook messenger does. I mean, 729€ device and you can't change that simple thing... Add to that you have no active display/notification led, so if you chose to simply disable the sound you won't event know when a notification comes up.
Nexus 5 may not have the same premium feeling and build quality but on the software part is today really far ahead. Apple really needs to step up his game, because trends come and go, but eventually quality products at the right price range will come on top (look at the new Motos, a 179€ Moto G is BY FAR better than the iPhone 6 in term of functionalities and user experience, without sacrificing anything in performance).
There was a time when Apple phone were really the best phones on the market, but with the coming of Android 4.0 Google really started improving and redefining every detail. The only thing that bothers me is Samsung: most of Apple users associate the best Android experience you can get to Samsung phones, which in my opinion give an ugly and laggy experience that scares potential switchers. As a matter of fact, I think Touchwiz is the worst kind of manufacturer personalization you can get.
I don't see a reason to purchase the Nexus 6 either. Google should have included a stylus or stuck with a 5" phone. They probably didn't want to irritate Samsung who seems to be having problems now although the Note 4 is selling very well.
I'm more concerned with Android being more difficult to root as I use root for some apps.
I'm actually switching between a MS Lumina 925 and the Nexus 5 the past couple of months; WP8.1 is nice. Now I'm back on the N5 to use Android L and it is running nicely for me. I use Office365 for business and find WP is a better fit than Android for this as you'd expect.

What is it that you expect a 64 bit processor to do for you? All apps, 32 or 64 bit, run at the same speed in a 64-bit processor. The only difference is that a 64-bit app can address (reach) beyond de 4GB program boundary, and I can't imagine any app being that big.
64-bit is another marketing trick.

Agreed! Computers has 64bit because people need powerful hardware to do heavy stuff. Not sure what I would do with 64bit on my phone.

If you are in China, you could get one that fits for N6 for about $7(translate into USD).
