Are 7in android tablets worth it ?

Nexus 7 is the most popular tablet in the world. So I guess there are people out there who think 7 inch tablets are worth it

Great for gaming and reading, not so good for browsing and illustrated pdfs/ magazines . 10 inch tablets have become quite light( ipad air) and will continue to be lighter in future. Personally i would have an 8 inch tablet and a 10 inch combo

Guys earlier when typing anything on my Android phone it used to suggest the text which I assume is predictive text . However recently I saw that whenever I type a word which is miss-spelt it replaces the mis spelt word without letting me type what I want to. I turned predictive text but I would want like how it was before where it suggests me words but doesn't replace the miss-spelt word.

Facing a peculiar problem since yesterday.
Whenever a call comes I pick it up and mute gets automatically activated. So I have to go to dialer screen and unmute the call. Cant find why this is happening. Any solution?

You enabled Auto Correction on. Go in the settings of the Keyboard you use. Should have a setting for that.

Those of you who have both a Powerful Tablet (7") and a Similarly powerful 4.5-5" smartphone , do you find any use of the Tablets over Smartphones ??
I was thinking to buy a Nexus 7 32GB too , considering it's quite cheap but then , I am wondering if it'll be of any use , over my existing powerful ( gaming capable ) laptop and smartphone .

Basic reason for having a tablet for me at least are as follows:
1. Easier browsing on tablet's bigger screen.
2. Typing is more convenient. I make fewer mistakes since keyboard size is big.
3. Playing HD games like Asphalt 8 is amazing experience on the 7" form factor. More fun than PC sometimes, since you can steer.
4. Reading comics feels natural and convenient. I use comixology app.
5. A tab is more fun than a smartphone in places like say if you are traveling long distances.
6. Haven't watched any movie on my tab but it will be a lot better than watching on a smartphone.
7. One more reason to buy myself a tab was to try Ubuntu Touch. And soon I will try Firefox OS.

Having said all these I should remind you that I have powerful but now outdated (hardware) phone, LG Optimus One. If say I had a Nexus 5 I might have skipped buying a tab.
Still a tablet have its own fun and convenience unmatched by a smartphone. Best thing about Nexus 7 form factor is that it can be easily carried in the pocket of jacket or if the need arise back pocket of your jeans. xD

PS: I posted this post from my N7, since I have just arrived from office and don't want to boot up the PC.

I am thinking of upgrading my wife and mom's Galaxy S2. The requirement is big screen and a good camera and an android OS. Now I found comparision between Optimus G pro and Note 2. I found the hardware, screen and camera of Optimus G Pro better than Note 2 and still Optimus G Pro is cheaper than note 2.

1) How good is the support of LG smartphones in india?
2) Should I consider Optimus G pro?
3) Although I am impressed with Xperia Z1. But its screen size is small, compared to overall size of the handset. So if Sony has any plan to launch Xperia Z1 successor by MWC. Should i wait?

 

[amjath]

^ yes Z2 is coming @ MWC.
Xperia Z2, aka 'Sirius' leaked. Possible MWC debut - GSMArena.com news

 

[maverick786us]

How good is the upcoming Xperia Ultra T2? It has 13MP camera. Is this the same camera used in Xperia Z? T2 have glass+aluminium body which is water resistant?

 

[ankush28]

Basically Nexus device program is for the developers not consumers. But since they are cheap everyone wants to get one, so manufacturer [not Google] wants to push more devices.

Exactly

I read somewhere that mounting microsd card takes some time during boot and removing it improves the startup time. Maybe thats why no sd card support :/

I have posted same thing earlier on tdf

Another point is copyright issues with FAT :/

 

[amjath]

^ that's why so much limitations with iPhone.

Yes its the same camera as on the Xperia Z and quality is better than Z

T2 doesn't have glass, its made of plastic and aluminum. No water resistance.

Lately, I am encountering with a warning displaying for a few seconds on my notification bar. It goes like this " your time is close enough", followed by a jelly bean logo. It's creepy. Is this some type of malware?

Call logs takes some time to display. All my contacts are of my Google account and none in phone memory. Could that make it slow?

No. Mine also are of Google account. But once Google account is configured, contacts gets saved to your phone. So contacts may delay by half a sec but call log will not.

No once its synced...it will be stored locally. You should clear call logs once.
