Hello - G Pad 8.3 General

What's up guys? Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Just bought a gpad from Bestbuy for $300. I considered long and hard about the nexus7 (had the first version), and the note 7 & 8. I am offering nothing new or interesting, just saying hi.

I also just came to the G Pad, ditched my Nexus 7 2013 for it. Loved the N7 but the extra 1.3" of screen was dramatic. Anyone else switch from the N7?

I did, but mine was the 2012 version, so my upgrade was even bigger

Hi there. New here as well. Got the G Pad a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed with it! Installed Root, TWRP, and the CM11 Nightlies with Nova Launcher. I was thinking about the Nexus 7 as well, but the screen size of the LG device is amazing.

Just recently got my g pad for $230 from Newegg. Thing is awesome. Feels as solid as an iPad mini and great performance with cm11. Definitely selling the nexus 7 2013 I have. This is the best tablet ever made.

Yeah, I kept both the G-Pad and new N7 for a week before deciding which to return. Both have pros and cons but in the end the larger screen won out.

Hi!
I also just got a G pad. There's an amazing discount if you are on the Netherlands, I got it for 200 euro. The offer can be had until Sunday, basically combine mediamarkt tax free days (until Sunday) with LG 50 cash back offer on their website.

Yep, only this weekend in the Netherlands you can stack 2 different discounts together on the G-pad,
so it sells for less than € 200.
I bet they sell quite a few of them since it's even cheaper than the nexus 7.
I don't think you can order from abroad though.

Congrats! Love my gpad, great device. Light, beautiful screen, solid battery, with the ivso case I bought, is my perfect tablet. Switched from a nexus 10 / nexus 7 fhd combo.

Hi People, I just recently got my (White GPad) and I Love it

Bought my white Glad last week for $180 on craigslist....so happy I pulled the trigger. I had been checking clist for weeks waiting for a good deal on a 2013 N7 saw the gpad and couldn't resist. Has a little bit of screen bleeding? Think that's what it is...really only noticed when screen dims. Any who.......hi all, peace and love.
Question though.....Is the 4.4.2 update out? No OTA received here...wanna try that out before I go all crazy with rooting and Roms. Thanks

I have an Infuse with a 4.5 and it looks small in comparison, of course I have been using a Nook Color for a tab so I knew what I getting into with the 7". Using the keyboard in landscape mode is great!!!!!
As somebody who owns a GS3 I feel it was totally worth the buy. I primarily use my phone when I'm on the go. When I get home it is all Nexus 7 for me. The bigger screen makes it much easier to browse the internet with.

I was wondering the same thing. I have my GS3 running AOKP, which I love...but this tablet looked perfect. I have a 10" HP, which was a bit too big to be comfortable in bed and typing on it sucked. This tablet is perfect for me...and I just flashed AOKP!! Bought it today so I am still in love with it. I didn't think I was going to keep it...but I was very wrong. Go for it bro!!
Just in case you do need further reassurance, I also have a sgs3 as well as a Nexus 7. My phone is for on the go, and my tablet is more for gaming like asphalt 7 and such.

I haven't used my phone all night, other than to respond to text messages. This pad is perfect. I could not be happier. Worst case buy o e and try it out. You could always return it. I had almost every I intention of doing that since this was not in my budget...but its that good that I'm keeping it.

Yeah, I see at least 2 cm10 nightlies and a couple more based on cm10. Not sure what he's on about.
you'll be glad you got it. I keep my phone in my pocket all the time and have it Bluetooth tethering my n7. I use my tab to text, make calls, etc. Very rarely do I ever use my phone anymore.

I don't get it, when we have an HTC or Samsung phone, we go to great measures to remove the stock Ui and only dream to have a pure android experience on it.
This is exactly what we have here. A pure android experience. Not sure what you're looking for when you look for a custom rom on the N7?

Should i get Nexus 7

Well i had made a "should i get tf700" in the other part of the forum, learnt that its slow , Apps appear blurry etc.
So is nexus 7 a great buy?
I'm thinking of getting the rumored 32 Gigs, But i don't think that might be enough.
So does this nexus 7 support OTG, Like i can connect my HDD(Which has most the movies i have)
Yes.

AFAIK it works just fine.
There is a lot of talk about it in threads scattered around the forum.
Search for nexus 7 OTG and see what you find, personally I haven't used it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
You're lucky you can have the option for 32GB one(will come any day now). All of us here are stuck with 8/16GB. Though yeah we can use USB OTG for extra storage and peripheral connection. Just unlock and root and you're good to go.
Tapatalked from my Xperia P
Okay..so mostly i'll go for this or tf700 whichever turns out to be better.
I'll check out how nexus 7 is when it officialy releases in India next month.
But will be getting it from usa, as it will surelly be way overpriced.
Say atleast 17000(around 310$)
The Nexus 7 is great, but so is the tf700. I chose the N7 for the screen size and price, but it was a hard decision. Now I sort of regret it because of the 32gb N7 that's coming out...

Agree.
but all app's are made for 720P.
And itseems they appear blurred/pixelated in 1080p tablets like TF700
The infinity is actually 1920x1200. Idk I had it for a day and took it back and kept my Nexus 7 it was too big and bulky for my needs. But I would go with the Nexus 7 or 10. The infinity is a awesome tablet though. It just depends on what you are going to use it for.

But if nexus 10 does come out you can assure that tablet specfic apps will be made .
Anyone know the price range the nexus 10 might cost. Even a guess?

But Google wants to be competitive price rise. If it's the same price as the iPad 4, people will go for Apple

Too late to buy a nexus 7 ?

i know the nexus 7 only came out in june but do you think its to late to buy one because im thinking of grabing one tomorrow or should i wait till the next one comes out :/ ? any input would be appriciated
I would get one now, after all it hasn't been out for long. I would buy one now and enjoy what there is to offer at the present, if you keep waiting for the next piece of hardware you'll never enjoy and appreciate the current technology, and you can always sell it when the "next Nexus 7" is released.

The N7 is an excellent 7" tablet IMO. I'm extremely happy with it, and so is my gf's son who got one for his birthday.
I just picked one up about 2 weeks ago and I have zero regrets. It's a beast that handles anything I throw at it.

The only question to ask is Do you get 32gb or the 16gb.. Or WiFi or 3g if available where you are.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I went 16GB wifi because I have a 32 GB phone if I need it. However, Gamestop had a $50 off deal and there was only one 16GB available. Might need to go 32 regardless. Good buy though, I just got mine a couple days ago. I don't need a huge tablet, I wanted more of a reader and this blows the Kindle away.

You most definitely won't be sorry. I think if anything you were smart to wait since the 32gb was release and the 16 gb was dropped to $199.99.
A new nexus tablet probably won't come out at least for another 7 months anyway. Just enjoy the hell out of it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
I think you should go for a Wifi version if you already have a phone.
Since the next-gen Nexus is no way to come out soon, and new version changes nothing in performance but has 3g and more storage capacity, and the price of nexus 7 16gb wifi dropped. I think Nexus 7 16gb is the optimized choice atm.

Wont Believe what happened paid for a 16gb version and they gave my a 32GB one so happy only cost me $244 (In Australia)

Nexus 4 now $199

For those looking to upgrade their Nexus S, google dropped the price of the Nexus 4 to $199. That's one hell of a bargain. Especially if you're looking to upgrade at a low price. The phone is still stupid fast and at $199 there's not much reason not to pick it up.
Well I'm gonna hold out till the next Nexus. Its only a small amount of time before they release some sweet info on it.

I was tempted to upgrade and the price is crazy cheap, but since 90% of my NS usage is listening to music (Voodoo) I would regret it big time.
It would just be an impulse purchase. A new shiny toy to play with for a week or two.
My NS serves me well still. Why change?
