I'm seriously considering the Nexus 7 LTE as my primary device, getting by with VoIP apps for the rare calls I make, but I think it would just be too ridiculous having to lug it around. I wish there was a Nexus phablet.
just use a bluetooth headset
Todo occuriendo como planeado...

I don't care about the talking. It's just that I can't get it in every pocket so I'll need some sort of bag, and even if it was in my pocket, I'd need to take it out every time I sit down or even when I lean a certain way. Yeah, I can't imagine doing it.
Plus, I kinda want to see if the always listening feature on the Moto X will be worthwhile.
Clearly you need a nexus 7 holster.

It's not the caveat that gets me. It's that David always seems so generally bored doing his job. You'd fool me if I was told he even likes working at the Verge. He always sounds so apathetic in his video reviews, and his inflection is never near clear either good or bad. He just always sounds like "meh" and it annoys the fuck out of me.

Honestly just wait it out. It'll pop up on your device in the next few days, and you'll be fine.
Yeah, you should probably just wait. My N7 updated itself today, yours probably will in another day or two. 4.3 isn't anything special enough to bother doing manual updates anyways.
All the R&D costs are wrapped up in the Droids and Google is subsidizing the X?

If anyone wants some ringtones, I made these for myself and thought I would share. These are tracks from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn for anyone who cares.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Ugh. I'm buying it anyway. But that's disappointing.
It's gotten what seems like overwhelming sales, so I'd inside a lot of streaming services will add it in. HBO Go is already in process, would hope to see others announce quickly
Well I notice more of a difference on my n7 than I do on my n4 with 4.3.
I was a little surprised that the ota worked with a custom recovery BTW....I don't think this has ever been the case, right?
Like it booting into recovery and install the official ota package after hitting install in the settings.

The Verge + actual testing = lol. Adjusting the brightness using percentages is stupid. For example: The One has a max brightness of aroud 490 nits. The Galaxy S4 has a max brightness of about 303 nits.
So at The Verge they test the One at 319 nits and the GS4 at 196 nits. It's just stupid.

Absolute brightness is not a good measurement tool because the GS4 has an infinite contrast ratio and OLED. It would unfairly handicap the GS4 to give it equal brightness because the contrast will be leagues better on it. Basically it just boils down to different technologies and design decisions. It allows Samsung to get better results for less power drawn, one of the major advantages of OLED, it would be wrong for The Verge to negate that advantage for little reason beyond giving LCD based phones a leg up.

How much better is the N7 with 4.3? Does it "fix" the issue some were complaining about in terms of gradual slowdown the longer they owned the N7?
I think that 4.3 is suppose to fix the problem on the OG Nexus 7 as well.
I only just updated last night, and haven't really been using for the last few days but everything appears to be quicker at things like switching apps, although it could be just from the update clearing out cache and things.
From what I understand they enabled fstrim on an OS level now, so it'll do it automatically now. No more lagfix app!
Oh. Now what? Surely there must be some metric at which Apple is still 'winning'.

Yeah, it's like, who cares about profits? Look at all that cash Apple has.
If you look at the year by year growth of the number of movies released which narrate the life of the founder, you'll also see that Apple is seriously crushing the competition.

This is the only metric that matters.
Apple plays a vertical game. Google plays a horizontal game. Nobody needs to "win."
This constant horseracing over corporations is tiresome.

What's even different about it? I haven't checked yet.
Wonder if there's a flashable zip for the S4 yet that doesn't lose MMS messaging or some other weird quirk.

has calmed down a bit.
I hate that he did the 1020 review because of that same attitude. He was fair in the review for the most part, but his video review reflected the stuff you mention in the post plus his text reads in the same "meh" manner.

Good to know.
Well I couldnt wait any longer so I got a HTC One today. Silver. Very nice phone and super fast compared to my GN.
Thanks for the help guys.

Fuck! Got the OTA 4.3 update on my Nexus 4 and now Apex launcher won't work and I can't seem to download anything from the store! I keep getting error messages when I try to download anything. About to take a hammer to this phone. wtf

Try removing and re-adding your Google account(s).
Mercury Fred

Oh yeah? Is there any danger in losing anything by doing so...?
Not really. You'll lose all information and stuff that's synced up from those accounts, but it'll all just re-appear when you resync anyway.
Mercury Fred

OK, thanks and thanks for the quick reply. I can't find where/ how to remove the account though...
When you're in the sync options for the account, press the menu button (the three dots in the upper right hand corner) and there'll be an option to remove account. Godspeed!

Oh jeez, thank you so much. That worked!

Funny, I had the same problem yesterday, but on my Nexus 7 and still on 4.2. I removed my account just like Groof said and when I added it again, everything was working fine.
Then moments later I updated to 4.3, and fortunately the problem didn't happen again.
Did you try to do the framework services tríck? Because that's known to fuck things up in this way.
