COG's android tablet thread of raised blood pressure

[pilonv1]

I'll probably get something like this as a case, I'll be using mine for commuting so I need something low profile

Love the fact I can set up user accounts on my nexus I don't have to see the fiance's wedding crap in my browser history, and even better that she can't see mine either

Treesong/other N7 owners- what (if any) carrying case/protective crap do you use for your tablet?

otterbox is the best case brand easily; not sure they make em for what you got tho

They do...but it's $70 MSRP

I just bought a MoKo, I'll report back.

I'm looking at mokos too- I need something for sure because I'll be tossing it in my bookbag for school, which is full of books, notebooks, and other assorted bullshit.  I'd spring for an otterbox or lifeproof (have a lifeproof case for my iphone, don't know if they make stuff for N7s) but I'm gonna be broke after buying this and paying some of my idiot family's bills, so cost is a deciding factor.

I realized I have a trip later this year I'll be bringing it on so I might as well grab a case now.

[pilonv1]

Can't get a Moko except at ridiculous mark up on ebay. There's some knockoffs though so that's fine.

Companies not shipping cases from amazon overseas in 2013 

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, I also take short-mediumish road trips kind of regularly- driving 4 hours to Charleston in early October, 3 hours to Athens a couple weeks later, and I'm sure I'll be back to Atlanta before the end of the year too.

It's $13 and Prime, what do you expect in your life

[Polari]

I have the OG Asus Nexus rubber cover. Assuming the new folding one is to the same standard I'd recommend that.

My N7 is an "around the house" tablet so I just raw dog it.

same. it wears its sheath of dried semen well.

[Tasty]

The official cases apparently still let you charge wirelessly.

Premium Cover





Travel Cover

[pilonv1]

My Lumia 920 works on a charging stand with a case on it, so this should be no different.

I can actually charge my Nexus on it too, but since the NFC spot is in the middle of the tablet I have to put it on horizontally.

[Human Snorenado]

Hug it out, bitches.

iPhone 4

[Human Snorenado]

It was a free upgrade, bitch. 

Android users- your apps.  Show me them.

What phone do you have?

[Human Snorenado]

I have an iphone 4.  Should I not have the same google account on both devices?

[Tasty]

Also, I'm pretty boring in my app usage. What I basically use:

Google Chrome
Google Hangouts
Google Keep
Google Voice
Google Wallet
Vine
Rise of the Blobs
Wind-Up Knight
Digg
Comixology
Dark Horse Comics
Viz Manga

+ GAF Mobile pinned to my homescreen.

Nah, that shouldn't matter.

Reboot it and see if it works is the only advice I have, lol.

Time to add Untappd to that list.

What about Grindr

[Human Snorenado]

Ugh for fucks sakes

android

[Human Snorenado]

JESUS FUCKING SHIT WHAT A CRAPPY FUCKING OS

I sign in with ANY google account I have, it shuts everything off.  For fucks fucking sakes.  I'm gonna take a video of me fucking shotgunning this thing, Andy.

[Tasty]

The irony of Creepy Old Guy being in the 0.000001% to get a defective unit is just delicious.

[nudemacusers]

Return it and come back into the loving embrace of ios

[Human Snorenado]

A couple of tech forms have said you can delete your account, then sign up again and it should work.  Others have said this will just resolve on it's own.  OTHERS say you can uninstall what's not working (play store and currents for me) and reinstall it and that works, which is what I'm trying next.

Still... what a shitty fucking OS.

[Great Rumbler]

I have not had this problem come up even once.

[Human Snorenado]

Cleared the cache of the play store before uninstalling, that didn't work.  Tried removing my profile and signing back in, and NOW it seems we're in business.  Downloaded a few more apps, and am now about to play some PAD on a tablet.

BUT JESUS.  Easily angered people who like shit to just work (it's the German in me) really should avoid Android apparently...

[Human Snorenado]

Thinking back, I think the problem (not sure what it is still) arose because I turned the tablet on, signed into my google account, downloaded a couple of apps, THEN updated the OS.  Apparently that made something go crazy-go-nuts.

Yeah in my experience, Android devices always fart around for the first day after an OS update. It's just something you'll have to accept and if not, it's aerodynamic enough to be shotgun practice.

Thanks for reminding me why I never went back to android, triumph

p. sure that's what I did with mine and I've had no issues.

Only issue is being limited to android apps. And the fact that I've turned typing sounds on but when I use the Play store or type in a username/password it still makes sounds

tTorrent

[Human Snorenado]

Mamacint knows what's up

[brawndolicious]

I use aDownloader, which is also free. But it doesn't have a max download speed while tTorrent is limited to 250kB/S in the free version.

[Rusty Shackleford]

The Play store's been in flux lately -- it seems Google has shifted many of the core threads and services -- pretty much everything that doesn't need an OTA update -- into a single "Play Service," so Google can bypass the carriers as much as possible for more expedient OS updates. I've read a few cases of difficulty with the store on older Android versions. Don't know if you can, but try a software update on your device.

[Polari]

Pretty amazing deal, no doubt.
