With a lot of hassle (OLD XP PC, not up to date), I used NRT to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4 and now my N7 is FINALLY acting normal, with normal battery life. I'm hoping to get another couple years out of it.

I'm hoping to get another couple years out of it. I could easily see getting another couple of years with the N7 after downgrading to 4.4.4. It was perfectly functional for things like Netflix, ebooks, web surfing and so on, which is basically all I used a tablet for in the first place. If I hadn't gotten a new one I could see me using mine for quite some time yet.I see no reason it couldn't last a while longer.Def

When my Macbook pro died, I picked up a Galaxy Tab S (10 inch) as a laptop replacement and have been generally very happy with it. 10 inch screens are just too big for a paperback replacement
Yes, this is how:1. Press and hold down on the home screen until three icons appear on the bottom of the screen. They should be Wallpapers, Home Screen Settings and Widgets.2. Select "Home Screen Settings".3. It should read "Content Home Screen". Simply uncheck the box. Return to your home page and that annoying widget page should be gone.Hope this helps,Lucky.
My Tab S 8.4 is here!Installing/configuring/updating...
as for the Flipboard/widget left screen:http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-pro-8-4/382548-possible-delete-widget-screen.html#post4573288QuoteYes, this is how:1.

I'm really surprised to see Samsung producing all of the premium Android devices and not a peep from Motorola. There's a new Moto X phone but no new tablets.
