Hi all, just wondering if anyone is using the Nexus 1st gen tablet for the Phantom 3 standard? I am currently using a 9.7'' tablet and it is simply too large for the controller. Makes it difficult to hold the controller while screen touching functions at the same time. The nexus has only 1 gig of ram, maybe not enough, but can get one fairly cheap if it would be suitable. The Nexus is 7''
I have one, and while it will run the go app, it's finicky. I think I have version 3.1.6 on it. I have hardware accel (or whatever it's called) enabled in developer options, I always use it with the power/volume buttons toward the bottom, and I have to clear the cache after every flight.
I was told that the Vers 1 was insufficient to handle the data rate and useage required by P3.
I bought the Nexus Vers 2 16Gb ... some call it the 2012 .... and its been excellent. I bought it refurb of eBay for about $150 delivered.
If I was buying now ? I would go for the next generation up from the Nexus 2 and with the 32Gb or more. You can never have enough 'power' in this game.
I have to suggest that trying a less capable unit will only end up frustrating. I had a Cavion tablet that is higher spec'd than a Nexus 1 ... its now a hack tablet for other lesser stuff.
The Fire is not on the list, however, I have read several testimonials about success with tablets not on the list. Worse case is you got a tablet to do other stuff with. And it didn't cost too much.
