I'm thinking of grabbing an Acer Iconia B1-A71 tablet.
Specs are
-Android Jelly Bean operating system
- Mediatek dual-core 1.2GHz processor (MTK 8317T)
-7-inch diagonal WSVGA capacitive multitouch screen with 1,024 x 600 resolution display
-8GB(1) of internal storage
-Wireless connectivity:
-Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
-Bluetooth® wireless technology 4.0
-GPS
-3.5mm headset/headphone/microphone jack
-internal speaker
-microSD expansion slot with up to 32GB support
-front-facing 0.3-megapixel webcam
-Rechargeable 2,710 mAh battery
-micro-USB (charging and PC connect) with USB 2.0
-Dimensions: 197.4 mm x 128.5 mm x 11.3 mm
-Weight: 320 g
It's a good $120 cheaper than a Nexus 7 here in New Zealand. I'd be using it for browsing and light gaming. Worth it?

Someone needs to post it on the Google code site. I'll star it.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It's closer, but the iPhone still has the edge even after fucking around to calibrate the screen. What more do you want me to say?

I really don't care about the color accuracy of the screen. I don't use my phone to edit photo. Actually I do. But the cropping function of CS6 is so powerful I rather deal with the trouble of carrying a netbook for photo editing.
I will pay extra for a large 1080p screen because I want to win dick waving contest with my coworkers. But I rather have a 5-6 inch 16:10 screen. Too bad no phone is doing it anymore.

No.
No idea how a nomedia file got into the root though. Just got the phone last night and haven't done anything until a couple hours ago.
Either way, thanks!
its telling you to turn around and look outside

Anybody have trouble finding ATMs in Google Maps? Anytime I search it brings me to a warehouse management company in Birmingham.

I have a question: I know people complain a lot about restoring from Titanium Backup. I personally have not had problems with it, but I only use it for apps and not system data. Should I be using Carbon instead?

still though you have to admit there are a lot of people who are all amoled or bust as if it's somehow better than other screens? When it's not really in a lot of ways.
SLCD3 or AMOLED, either way it will look amazing but there are a lot who will bitch if it's SLCD3. And I won't be one of them. Both hot as fuck is the bottom line.
What the hell? What a weird thing to do.

even if you did care, the difference is slight!
restoring system data is the cause of like 99% of people's issues. i've been using it, and restored data across different roms and even different devices, and had one problem so far... and it was when i restored data for Google+ and automatic uploads would fail to wotk but clearing data and signing in normally made it work fine.
just like there are people who bitch about it being AMOLED and saying all AMOLED screens are blown out like Jeanna Fine.
Yup. I went through all my apps one by one. When using CinemaNow and you select a movie to download for offline use a notification pops up saying your movie is ready to watch. I got the notification and went to the root and saw the .nomedia file there. Deleted then tried again and the file appeared again.
Edit- Actually any download related notification triggers the .nomedia file creation.
Edit 2-
Edit 3- NVM. Turning off notifications does fuck all. What a terrible app.
That was a fun headache. Fucking clownshoes over at CinemaNow.
Yeah the way .nomedia works and how media files are handled in general is one of the things that makes it hard to recommend Android to normal people.
When I used Volksempfanger as my podcast app, my podcasts would keep showing up in Google Music. I literally had to delete and re-create the .nomedia file with Solid Explorer every time I downloaded a new podcast to get them out of there. Fortunately, this doesn't happen with Pocket Casts.
But for a problem like yours, I could see it being near impossible to figure out what's causing it and why factory resets aren't even helping (I don't think they wipe your root directory)

Are you telling me CinemaNow download the movie file to SD root? Seem like a bug to me. Better yet nuke the app.
No CinemaNow downloads the movie into it's own folder but creates the .nomedia file outside of it here:
I nearly cried laughing reading this post. Wow.
I knew they had to be gaffers.
The only nasty review I left was Triple Town. It overheat the phone so much the phone reboot 4 times in an afternoon. I had to underclock to play the game. And they have the balls to charge 4 dollars for the full game. If the price was 2 dollar I wouldn't throw a fit.

I don't even leave reviews for 99% of the things I download #PartOfTheProblem
Damn, who was it here that first said they had heard Googlerola was planning on debuting a phone with some form of touch input on the backside of the phone?
Patent. Brings a little clarity to all the "Your device shouldn't just break when you drop it" stuff that they were saying a short time back. If there's going to be back of the phone controls, that means less or no cases, but instead: Bumpers.
I know that patents don't ever really give a clear idea of how the final implementation turns out to work, but man, I'm really curious about when we will see this and how it will work and what it will do. Assuming it ever makes it into a device.

I really would like to know what the hell is taking Samsung so long to bring JB to the S II. Getting really tired of waiting.
Looks almost as pointless as Samsung's S-Scroll-by-tilting-your-head.
If they had this tech in my Nexus 7, it would certainly make one handed use a lot easier.
Use eyes to fast forward the flash to the good part.

I'm okay with the S4 being LCD, because I'm waiting for the Note III anyways. That phone better have the 1080p Super AMOLED RGB goodness.
I'm having a good experience with volksempfanger

They're busy counting the money from the GS3 sales.
