    Pick my 6P replacement

    I have a Nexus 6P that came with the 2000 mAh battery option. Edit: Battery health is 60%. About 2055/3450 mAh is what I'm getting. So that is said tongue in cheek. Sorry for confusion. /Edit Love the phone. Love the quickness of the fingerprint reader. The camera. And stock Android. Et Al...

    Help me decide on a tablet since my 2013 N7 LTE is a cracked brick

    Update: I love my G Pad (7.0 LTE). $89. I'm running Marshmallow. Snappy enough for me! Was able to swap my T Mobile SIM card from my nexus and now I have 200mb / month free data for life going wonderfully. Thanks to all who added their suggestions. Posted via the Android Central App

    Help me decide on a tablet since my 2013 N7 LTE is a cracked brick

    On the N7, when the screen is cracked, the digitizer is toast. At that point, it's $200+ to fix. That's beyond economical repair, as I only paid $200 in the first place. Contrast that with an S III phone my wife dropped; a hair dryer and some patience replaced the screen in 30 minutes for...

    Help me decide on a tablet since my 2013 N7 LTE is a cracked brick

    I have a Nexus 7 2013 LTE I purchased from Groupon. I think I paid $199 shipped. It is on T Mobile's 200MB/month free data for life plan. It had been used 95% WiFi, 5% LTE. Screen cracked about 1/3 up from bottom. Digitizer busted. Charged it after it has been collecting dust on a shelf...

    Sprint Lease Loyalty deal S5

    I do like Samsung. I got S3's for me & the wife last September and we love the phone. The had the S4 out but wanted a ton more for them. So we decided on the S3 and picked them up at Target for $50 (each) - $50 gift card. The Target rep even activated the first gift card so I could buy the...

    Sprint Lease Loyalty deal S5

    Sprint is offering the S5 for $20 a month lease. Customers on a qualifying plan - for instance, the everything data share plan, are eligible for a $15 a month bill credit for this lease deal. I am currently in a contract that doesn't expire until September 2015 and I'm not eligible for upgrade...

    N7 worth getting now?

    It is a champ. Hard to say no to a 32GB LTE version for $199 on Groupon, yet I see people not pulling the trigger. You can't find similar specs for the money. Not even close. Free LTE via T-Mobile makes it even sweeter.

    N7 worth getting now?

    Who on earth is EVER pleased with what they paid at Best Buy? I can't see the attraction to the place. I guess it is where the blue-hairs go to over-pay for everything from TVs to HDMI cables. $49.99 for a $3 cable. Rightttttt. The one exception was my refurbished samsung chromebook - no...

    FRU Verizon N7 LTE on Groupon $200

    Are you able to get the My T-Mobile app working on it? It keeps asking me to log in with phone number instead of the "ConnectMe" credentials, and I get an error.

    No update to the Nexus 7 line, so where can i get a good price?

    For $50 more, you'll be much happier with 32GB of storage. Sure, you can use USB OTG to store more media, but apps are only getting bigger. You'll want 32GB. Trust me, get the Groupon. I activated mine tonight on T-Mobile. Slick as snot, real fast tablet, and free LTE is awesome.

    FRU Verizon N7 LTE on Groupon $200

    I can't view your pictures for some reason. EDIT I am able to see your speed test. I take it you got it running? I got mine unboxed and all set up via wifi. I have since installed the T Mobile SIM card but can't get it to automatically connect via their activation page. EDIT: After spending...

    No update to the Nexus 7 line, so where can i get a good price?

    It's silly to want a "new" one when 99% of the "refurbished" ones are in beautiful shape. Buy the $199 Groupon. 32GB LTE. Before they run out. You'll regret it if you miss out. PS T-Mobile has 200MB/month data for FREE.

    FRU Verizon N7 LTE on Groupon $200

    Finally got a UPS tracking # from Groupon and it is showing Friday as scheduled delivery. T-Mobile emailed me today about my online order to say the SIM card is on it's way via UPS and will be here Friday as well. I'm surprised T-Mobile does free 2-4 business day shipping for SIM cards and...

    FRU Verizon N7 LTE on Groupon $200

    It wasn't posted publicly, but here is an answer I got from Groupon: Q: can you verify that this is a locked device? This was the whole point of the Nexus 7 2013, for Google to offer an UNLOCKED LTE device you could take to ANY carrier. Can anyone verify this information? All the research I've...
