I know this question has been beaten to death already, but I'm still not satisfied. Still have a week to return this thing, and I like it, but......
I'll be getting my hands on a surface when they're available, that being the case, i don't know if the sd card argument is as strong for me.
Has anyone returned a nexus 7 to get this? And why.... also why would you switch or why wouldn't you switch
Thanks guys
yes. 3 nexus 7's in fact. All had screen problems. Gave up after the third one and replaced it with the Tab 2 7.0. While the specification isn't as good as the nexus it really hasn't affected how I use it. One big plus is being able to add an sdcard and not have to worry about usb otg. Would I replace the Tab 2 with a nexus ? When they release one without screen problems, 32gb of memory and ability to add an sdcard, until then this is the best option
Excellent info, thank you

In my country we don't have WiFi so freely available
I've asked myself the same question. I've never had a Nexus 7, but the things that won for me on tab 2 is that it has memory card, I have a 32GB model with....wait for it....3G. Friends ask...why don't you tether? Because I don't always carry my Galaxy Nexus and it's too much work.
The only problem I have, I've tried every ROM and every single one has Bluetooth to headset problems. I can't use the phone to Bluetooth to my car and that's a real pain for me at the moment.
This is my work phone and if you find a ROM (assuming you've rooted yours) that has audio to Bluetooth headset working please let me know. It's killing me honestly....
I've bought another 13 for guys at work.

Moved to the Q&A section, please reply there. (not sure how to delete)
Not sure what I want to do here. I currently have a Galaxy S3 and a Tab 7.7. I am somewhat happy with the setup, but I have an upgrade coming and know I want to have a member of the Note family. I run my own HVAC company and I am out on the jobsite doing a lot of estimates during the week. I have been wanting to streamline more of my jobsite notes from a tablet to my laptop/desktop. I was hoping for Tab 7.7 to help with a lot of that but it has fallen short of being easy enough to use. I find myself still taking notes on paper and converting to my computer once I get home. The Tab has been regulated to more of toy (which has been great) instead of a useful tool.
I really like the form factor of the 7.7 though. I use it for a Kindle app to do reading, although only at night. I have an older Kindle Touch which is great during the day but at night or in low light I find myself reach for my 7.7 more. I am thinking about getting the new Kindle Paperwhite depending on what I upgrade to.
I really like the form factor of the Note 8.0, but compared to the 2014 10.1 it is seriously lacking specs. The positive on this, is I could probably pick one up for half the cost of the 10.1. Plus I feel that if I get the Note 3 there isn't going to be much of a difference between both devices. I am also a bit apprehensive about having such a large phone.
I know I am all over the board here, but let me know what you think.
Thanks.
I had N4 and changed it to N3, very happy with that decision. N3 is much better, brilliant screen and good size as i am carrying 2 phones in one pocket
I'm running with my note 3 and note 8.0 tablet. If and when the note 8.9 pro (maybe diff name?) I plan on switching to that. The 10.1 may be to took for the job site. I use my 8 to take notes at school and it still works great for media.
If I'm not able to get to my tablet I can use my note 3 really quick and sync notes when I need to.

Thanks for the fast responses!
I heard there are issues with the Note 3 syncing notes with the other note family. Is this true?
Just realized I probably posted this in the wrong forum. I am going to move to the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Note 8.0 and s4
I have the note 8.0 and s4.they sync well together with the Samsung link app. The s-notes on the note 8.0 syncs with the s - memos on the s4.this is a great feature. I think the 10.0 may be too big for you on the job. The 8.0 is the perfect size and not too heavy to carry around. You can take notes on your phone and they sync right to your tab of vise versa. I had both the note 8.0 tab and the note 2 phone at one point and ended up giving my husband the phone for the s4...they are basically the same thing.
I am considering purchasing a Nexus 6 when it becomes available on T-mobile but would really hate not being able to pair it with my Gear 2. I really have become addicted to it. I had been originally holding out for the Note Edge to replace my Note 3 but then was able to get one of the Nexus 9 tablets and I think that I am becoming a convert to "pure android"! Any thoughts or speculations would be appreciated. Hard facts would be even better.
still looking?

I have both devices but have only paired my android wear watches so far with the N6. that being said if you are still looking for an answer let me know and we could do some testing.
Probably not... I don't even think you could get the gear to pair on non tw roms? It took awhile for them to port it to the n2 but that didn't have full compatability. The way I understood it is there more concerned with running it on the Samsung devices so it is left up to the devs and I don't think samsung has quite hit the mark on the smart watch market yet.

I have done some looking and I'm sure you can get it working at least 90% of all functionality

I have been using my gear 2 and my gear S for a while now. The nexus 6 is no different. There are a couple ways to go about it without using touch wiz. The gear 2 is actually much better considering that there is already a rooted custom rom out for it, and like i said, with that you will get about 95% functionality. I believe the weather app isnt 100% working and one more thing whixh i cant think of, but all the good stuff works perfect and even a few added features. Making/ recieving calls, ir blaster, watch faces, bluetooth, notifica.... all thats 100%. If you need any help or wan't to try it just pm me. I think this op may have found his answer already though.

Hi there. I sent you a PM about a similar request. Can you please check and let me know?
Did you guys actually figure out if it works with nexus 6?
Hi, someone managed to connect the gear 2 with nexus 6? I'm trying but, but I do not get results. If someone have a solution can post a guide?
Would appreciate it too
Please help!!
I have gone through all the methods in trying to connect my gear 2 to my nexus 6 and nothing will work!! Has anyone actually found a way?? I don't mind if some thing don't work, I just like the text and call features anyway.. Please respond to me, I love my watch and don't want to go over to a different one
any updates on this? will the samsung gear 1 OR the gear 2 watch work with the nexus 6 2014 version? thx
I tried following an XDA tread to connect Gear 2 Neo to Moto X 3 XT1575, with watch still on Tizen. No joy.
This method worked easily, but it will be an Android Wear watch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953
Since Samsung had cancelled the Note 7, they should port the Note 7 features to their loyal Note 5 customers. I was slipping the 7 because it wasn't enough new for me to upgrade. Was holding out for the 9 but I don't know now. Giving is something for being loyal Samsung fans would go a long way. Oh...I can't root due to company security policies.

I wonder what Note 7 apps can be ported to our Verizon Note 5? Some of the goodies without a burnt hand. Does anyone know?

I have Note 4 also. I dont want to go down in screen size as I like it, The S Pen is nice but I so seldom use it anymore, I am looking at the G6 too, but am holding off to see what the S8+ actually brings as I want more battery in my next phone and a camera that can focus faster LOL.

Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
i think the S8+ will do just fine. i have had every note device and never use the S pen. im excited for the new s8 though. just retruned my 7 plus and reversed my upgrade!
I was so excited when I got my note 5 back when, and decided that with oden, rooting was marvelous. and the dev. was very supportive. I'm on the s7 for a second time around and have seen a complete reversal for support. so with me it's a non issue with out an unlocked boot-loader. but if I had to choose, I couldn't wait, its the s8+ . Hopefully, a miracle would happen. peace.
I will get the S8+ if I decided to get a Samsung device this year. Simply because I rarely used the SPen ever.
Yea. I only use spen for copy and pasting texts

The Note 8 might have fingerprint under glass (at front), according rumors, the S8 would have had it, but Samsung run out of time to produce enough.
or the Samsung Galaxy On8? india only, but seems a better phone with removable back cover, none of this glass plated nonsense.
S8+ is on my high priority list! Don't need pen...
Just choose s8 plus
I still remember the day I bought a s6 edge
I used to love Samsung devices, but ever since they went only curved screens I've been bummed. Ooh well no more Galaxy's for me anymore. There are plenty of other phones. BTW absolutely love my Huawei Mate 9, best phone I've ever owned and I have owned almost all of them.
I almost bought a Mate 9, but the development there was scarce. Which made me have second thoughts. I'm currently using the Note 5 and was considering a G6 tough at first. I'm interested in seeing what the S8+ have to offer though and will make my decision after the reveal.
i had galaxy S2 then legendary S3 ...and then i switched to Note 4....and i sweared i would never go back to S series from note series.....so i guess either note 8 or i dont know what to buy these days....When Note 4 came out it blow my mind and i said that i must have it and bought it a moment when it came out....Now days i have no idea what my next phone will be :/
I was eagerly waiting for the release of the new Galaxy S phone, sold my S7 Edge like a month ago. I was all hyped and stuff, but even since all the rumours started to show up (no 6 gigs ram, no fingerprint scanner under the front glass (maybe for Note 8), patent for Note 8 dual camera etc.), I became unsure. At this moment i don't even know if i should spend 900 euros on a phone ) I even considered buying a Umidigi Z Pro
