Guys! I just found out an app called GMD Gesture Control. It enables features like closing an app by pinching the screen with four fingers (very iPad-ish)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...recontrol&hl=en

With this app, it kinda make our Nexus 7 looks Ipad-ish. Can close app or change app with gesture control. rclxms.gif

Dear Guys,

I have used a LG Nexus 4 for 1.5 months and absolutely love it.  So I I wanna buy a Nexus 7 32GB Wifi only (I dont know the price but maybe around RM900?).  However, i have read some website articles that say Google I/O in May gonna Launch new Nexus 7.7

Articles say Nexus 7.7 will be:-

1. same price as N7;
2. built by LG;
3. with 7.7 inch screen;
4. conflicting articles say will launch 8GB only or 16GB / 32GB.

Do you think I should wait another 2 months?  I will want 32GB but not 16GB or less.

And I want Wifi only.  why buy with cellular when can thethering from Handphone data plan?

Actually I am not urgently in need of it.  just that my children and wife now monopolise my iPad already.  And also itchy to have a Google Tablet experience.

My gf owns a Nexus 4 and I owns a Nexus 7. To be honest, I find both to be very very similar, just the lack of a back camera on the Nexus 7. Both offers smooth stock rom, snappy quad core processors.
In fact, Nexus 4's snapdragon processor outscores Nexus 7's tegra 3 processor. brows.gif

For Nexus 7, I would say it can support up to 1 more major update (5.0)
For Nexus 7.7, I am quite sure it will be at 5.0 at launch, supporting 1 more major update (6.0). (more future-proof) icon_idea.gif

If your not in a hurry, I advise u to wait for Nexus 7.7. The experience with Nexus 4 and 7 is very similar. Just that the fact that Nexus 7 has a bigger screen and more syok in watching videos and surfing the net.

I mean, if u get Nexus 7 now, you will get similar experience with your Nexus 4. The only upside is that the screen size brings more pleasure in watching videos and surfing the net. And gaming more syok.

If you can control the itch in ur hand, wait for Nexus 7.7! It will definitely be worth the wait. rclxms.gif

you can install Titanium Backup 1st, back up all ur apps and store in ur PC. After factory reset, install Titanium Backup and copy back those app from your PC and restore them using Titanium Backup.

Temperature issue is not a problem for me. Most of the Android device when gaming for a lengthy period experiences high temperature at the back. It is a known issue. Android smartphones and tablets.

Got used to it. laugh.gif

If needed, go to games setup / controls. Select customize gamepad. Assign the action to the buttons. Click Save and exit. That’s all.

Has any1 tried this yet? Where to enter games setup? Any1 here using Logitech F710 controller for gaming?

Edited

Found this. http://www.tegrazone.com/support/game-controller-support
Tegra 3 device all support Logitech F710 and Microsoft® Xbox® 360 rclxms.gif

But a 5 megapixel primary camera. @@ I wonder if the primary camera means a back camera or the front camera. shocking.gif

But a lot of websites states that our Nexus 7 has a 'primary' camera in their spec sheets.
So it is still possible i think that the 5 megapixel camera is a front facing one. icon_idea.gif
Just my 2 cent. XD

Well, I think it depends on ur usage.

Nexus 7
+ higher resolution makes it better for reading
+ can customize home screen as u like with a lot of widgets in the market
- no back camera


Ipad Mini
+ better battery life compared to Nexus 7
+ more touch sensitive than Nexus 7
+ back camera
- no retina display
- overpriced
- interface is too boring for me (probably coz cant customize much)

I don't know why but Apple product battery life is good. My friend owns a Ipad mini and I own a Nexus 7. Comparing both, Ipad mini battery can last longer.
And also Ipad's touch screen is more sensitive when comparing my Nexus 7 with my friend's Ipad mini.
So the major difference between these 2 is the battery and touch sensitivity only. thumbup.gif

Ya. The ipad mini is slimmer and lighter too. But I'm satisfied with my N7 as the thickness and weight is just right for me. thumbup.gif

7 inch phone is possible if they remove the bezel. bezel takes lots of space.

decided, maybe i should straight go for 10 inch since I already have a similar size + processing power phone. thanks for all the advice bro

Hmmm...i think u shud go for Ipad Mini. Ipad mini is 7.9 inch. It has thin bezel. Apple counter the problem easily. When u hold the Ipad Mini with ur thumb resting on the screen, ur second touch can still be registered.
