[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlanza1054:
Oh god I should have had this thread closed.

You are making a very big mistake returning your unit and never considering to re-purchase the Nexus 7.

First, this tablet. Is unbelievable so far. And I already have a tablet. This thing blows away my Asus TF300T.

Second, if you read the entire thread, you would know I took the time to contacted Google and I received a perfectly understandable reason for the retaped box.

Google does a quality check on every 100 or so units to make sure everything is up to snuff. No glass separation, no scratches, etc. They are not turned on. If you notice the plastic wrap around the unit was pristine and never removed.

You are denying yourself a wonderful experience.

Please reconsider, and like most users here said, you actually are getting a unit that was verified to be perfect!

I think it may have been done in some emergency QC off the pallet opening boxes, mine had the security stickers covered with thick black tape and the inner plastic cover was looser than I expected it to be buuut my Nexus 7 is, touch wood, perfect with non of the issues reported by so many. I say perfect though I haven't played any intensive games or long vids so it hasn't really got hot and iirc most of the probs come about after the the Nexy gets hot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlanza1054:
Yes, they cover the original black security stickers, with black security tape, that just looks like plain black tape.

Peal off the black tape and will notice it is security tape, because you will see the words 'void' (or some such wordage).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafase282:
I just read a few post but at the risk of this being said before, when you preorder, there is an option to link your account selected by default which I didnt see.

Now that means that they have to take a unit that will be assigned to you, open it and link your account. This is good because if there is any noticeable defect they would have noticed it and replace the unit right away. At least that is what I think, I preorder on Jun 27th and mine works great, just last night I noticed screen bleed but coming from a G2X I guess I didnt noticed all this time until now.

I did notice a little flickering on white screen but nothing that really bother's me to the point of returning it. So I say do not worry about the double tape issue, specially if your account was linked. It is normal.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elsydeon:
It's been mentioned that this is not the reason they need to open the box...and I believe that because a coworker of mine also pre-ordered one from Google, and she had her account linked AND her box was single taped, never opened. She couldn't believe how obviously mines looked to have been opened and how obvious the double tape job was. We were both wondering if I'd possibly be able to even sell it as new as it looked as if I had opened it and retaped it.

People with double taped units are STILL reporting having defects, so I'm not sure I buy the QC angle. In any case, I'm very glad to have gotten rid of mine and to have at least gotten what I paid for it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josevale:
Did you try using the N7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootlegZani:
I thought everyone got the double black tape? I pre-ordered mine the day it was announced and got it on July 17th and I had the double black tape. I didn't have it pre-configured but my device has been flawless to date.

Really? Smells like BS to me... go play with your iPad .. TROLL
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hafai:
I personally hope that my replacement unit is one of these double taped units. I'd rather have them open it up and take a look at it than have another defective unit sent.

Though on a separate note why couldn't they grab one and check it before it gets boxed up on the assembly line? XD

ASUS North America

Dear valued ASUS customer,

At ASUS, one of the key commitments we make to our customers is a relentless drive to deliver the best user experience. We constantly strive to achieve this goal through our ‘Design Thinking’ philosophy that includes regular software and firmware updates for our products.

We are pleased to announce that many of our tablet products are scheduled to receive an update to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. The ASUS Transformer Pad, ASUS Transformer Pad Prime and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity are all scheduled to receive Android 4.1 updates in the coming months. We will provide further guidance on our expected timeframes for these updates near their release.

We are still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices, but we are not in a position to confirm whether any other products will be eligible for an update at the moment.

Thank you for your continued support.

ASUS

It's nice that the Tegra 3 devices are getting it, I just hope they decide to bring it to the Tegra 2 devices also. This kind of leaves it up in the air at the moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
At this point it's better to not even try and predict what ASUS has planned for the TF101. Either way, the Devs. are already well on the way to having stable JB ROMs released soon. Hell, some people say the early test builds are good enough to be used as daily drivers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sidneyk:
I've tried the first 3 initial releases and cm10 preview was the the best, but not without issues. At least I could watch Netflix and YouTube videos. Team eos was OK but videos didn't work. I'm getting ready to try the 2nd version of rayman33's attempt to see how it has progressed, this time with a full backup just done for my Gummy setup. I've grown pretty fond of the Gummy ICS iteration of aokp and look forward to what they may do with JB. I used Revolver for a long while before, but he's gotten a little slower on the updates lately. I may have to check out a 'pure' aokp and see how that compares to Gummy. I also tried Steeldroid's aokp ICS and it looked really good, too. I just didn't like it always asking at bootup which launcher I wanted to use when I'd already answered once. One other thing I experienced with the JB builds that I didn't like was that web pages in dolphin HD on the forum threads here and some other sites rendered with a washed out or greyed out look, like when you you're looking at email and they've been marked read already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mkramer5004:
Isnt the Asus Transformer Pad the same as the TF101? and a Tegra 2 device? As I read te statement I took it as th TF101 is getting the Jelly Bean Update in the coming months. Am I wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
It appears that rayman33 has made amazing progress with his 2nd release. If I wasn't spending most of my time with my new Nexus 7, I'd give it a shot right now. My current setup is pretty generic. Stock .27, with rayman's Harmony 66 kernel running @ 1.4GHz. Pretty boring, but it just works. I've given up on Dolphin on the Nexus 7 w/JB. I'm using Chrome and Firefox Beta for Flash sites.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryanmc2033:
JB seems like a fairly boring update. So I really don't care if my TF101 gets it or not. I just want Asus to make ICS more stable.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
Chrome doesn't. Firefox beta and nightly do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bukithd:
Asus calls the 300t by the same name they called the tf101. We may not see it officially until all the others get it. Thankfully Asus kept it simple and all they do is port the Prime/300t build over to our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkeypaws:
So I thought I'd bring this up and see if others are having the same issue as me. I purchased a Google play galaxy nexus and it recently updated to 4.1.1. I've noticed that since the update there is often some home screen redraw where the icons and launcher reloads on the home screen. I thought maybe it was the flip board app doing that since after I hit home after using it it would redraw the home screen. I've uninstalled but I got another redraw. I have plenty of internal memory. I've also gone into setting, developer settings and allowed only a 4 processes at a time thinking my RSM was being used up. How much ram is available ? Is there a way to figure that out?. Anyone else getting this?. Btw I'm completely stock and not rooted. Never been rooted and no unlocked boot loader. I will not root and flash Roms. Any ideas.

From Chrome support faq...

Chrome for Android Beta known issues

Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.

This is a known issue with the graphics driver on specific devices. We have reported this issue to hardware manufacturers and software vendors and are working to fix it. As a workaround, try rotating your device or refreshing the page to resolve temporary rendering issues.
[HTC One V] tranceph0rmer:
Yup happens all the time on my device. I love chrome but had to install it because of this very issue.

Damn thing kept jumping about the whole page...

[HTC One V] Yaceka:
Is this issue only with Chrome or is it with the default android browser too? I'm looking at picking up the HTC One V but if it has a flickering problem with the default browser and chrome I'll look elsewhere. Can someone with a One V give me an answer. Thanks. :)
[HTC One V] JA_SAM:
No only the Chrome,none of the other apps have that problem.
[HTC One V] Yaceka:
Thank you for the help! Looks like I'll be picking up the phone and using the default browser then. :D
[HTC One V] JA_SAM:
To be honest even with flickering its still the best option for browser. :)
[HTC One V] Passa91:
I disagree to be honest, ICS Browser+ is the best option for the HTC One V when running the stock ROM. The flickering makes Chrome unusable.
[HTC One V] JA_SAM:
I havent heard about that one.Looks good at the moment.
[HTC One V] klosik:
problems resolved?

It seems to me that the latest OTA updates to the One V have eliminated the flickering with the latest version of Chrome. Can anyone corroborate?

And which ROM is the best for you depends on what you like in a ROM.

There are differences in speed, customizability, features and of course the design.

So if you state what you like in a ROM it's easier for us to give an advise.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maerte:
First of all you should decide if you want a stable rom or the newest but not so stable one.

For beginners I would recommend Cyanogen Mod, thats a nice stable Ginger Bread Rom and you get a good support there.

But if you want to try Ice Cream Sandwich, I suggest you try Sandvolds Rom. I am using that by myself and its great...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plato112:
You could also try one of the MildWild-releases. They are both pretty good. I'm using the version based on Oxygen and it works great, very stable and very fast.

So how's everyone's battery life on the HD? I've gotten about 11 hours average with decent usage, but I instilled Juice Defender and I'm getting about 20 hours now or so. Noticed better battery life on the One X but that's probably just because the One line from HTC has incredible standby time.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
Charging takes FOREVER.

10-15 hours for me without Juice Defender. I played Gun Bros Multiplayer for 1.5hours and the battery was almost dead. My Atrix 2 could play for 2.5 hours. So the Atrix HD dosent have the greatest battery life. I see it lasting with mid-heavy use just for the work day at a 9-5 job then having to recharge it. My Atrix 2 with juice defender lasted well into the next day.

I cant say I'm too happy about that, but at least overall the phone is an improvement over the Atrix 2 except for battery life.

I can usually go thru a whole day on a full charge. It won't do 2 days.

I am getting decent battery life I'm at about 50 with 6 hours of pretty heavy use. Getting LTE too in some spots. So I know that is heavier on battery buy otherwise I am happy. I am sure it will calibrate too after time
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
Everyone who has the Atrix HD should have an app called "SmartActions"

It contains a battery extender. I've been using it next to juice defender and it's working really well.

I've been playing games, running lookout mobile on my phone, and watching movies on my SD card.

I used it heavy all night and drained it to 40%

Let it sit off the charger and woke up to 35%

Used it Heavy (Games&and 45min Video) from 9am till 11:54am Drained it to 28%

The battery extender app under Smart Actions and Juice Defender vastly improved my battery performance. I feel it's on par with the Iphone battery life, if not better.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jahizen:
i think battery life is super. i went from arix 4g to this. sucks i cant pull battery though, i had 3 extra batteries for my atrix 4g
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
Eventually one of those case companies like PowerSkin will make a case that doubles as an extended battery.

From my understanding the case plugs into the USB port so you dont have to swap the battery.

I'm keeping my eye out for one, but its too soon to expect them being sold right now.

Quick question for Atrix HD users can you turn off LTE mode via *#*#4636#*#* like could with Atrix 4G?
[Motorola Atrix HD] RobAndroid:
I waited a couple days before judging so it could recharge a few times and I wouldn't playing with it all the time! :)

It seems to run down very quickly when the screen is on - even though I have brightness turned down most of the time. It needs a charge about the time I get home from work, whereas my Captivate still had a good charge and could make it through the night and to work the next morning with room to spare. I'm doing the same basic things I did on my Cappy - just checking email occasionally, gReader a couple times, FB a few times.

I'm hoping it improves a bit over time. I have already activated the battery saver SmartAction and just installed JuiceDefender today.

I tried the LTE mode code above and it didn't work. I tried an app that should change the setting and it didn't work either. I tried creating a new APN and it won't stay on it, just switches back to the default AT&T APN. Guess we'll have to wait for root.
[Motorola Atrix HD] CB620:
I just got this a couple hours ago. Will have some battery info on it tomorrow if it stays in my possession.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
You must have got lucky with your Captivate, because mine would burn through 30% batter in idle after 4 hours,

Smart Actions and Juice Defender seem to do the trick.

I found that Widgets and some games (especially gameloft games) will keep the phone from going into deep sleep. I know that the game "Gun Bros" sends notifications to your phone and randomly will do background syncing.

Also making sure that you completely exit apps helps tremendously with battery.

Here is a good artical about saving battery life. It's worth the read even if it might be a little old:

Top 10 Battery Saving Tips For Android
[Motorola Atrix HD] vectorized:
I dont know how you guys are getting battery life that good. I made the mistake of charging myphone only halfway on the first day after it died. But I've been trying to cycle it properly since.

But I cycled my phone twice today. Battery life is complete crap.

My day today:

I woke up at 5:45, played Cordy Sky for 30 minutes and checked all my stuff. On wifi the whole time. Battery was down to 82%.

Commuted to work, 1.5hrs. Listening to music from SD card for most of it. Had LTE on for most of the ride, 30min of the ride is underground, data off. 73% by the end of the ride.

My office has virtually NO service, LTE or otherwise, I couldnt even make a call. I also didnt get on wifi for about 2 hours. My phone was at 25% by 11am.

At which point i just ran it on full brightness, screen on, wifi off, syncing, etc until it died so I could cycle it.

I'm lucky to get 6 hours out of it.

I am using tons of the Smart Actions. Turning on wifi when I get home & get to work. All the "extender" settings are activated and ready.

--

Doesnt Juice Defender counteract the Smart Actions? Are you using the free versions, or ultimate?

--

Lastly, we, as smartphone users, shouldnt have to sacrifice functionality to save battery time. That's just a fact, and manufacturers are doing something wrong by not fixing that. The article you linked to asks too much of the user, basically turning the phone into a "dumb phone" until you activate everything again.

I even have smart actions doing some of those things, but still... wtf?
[Motorola Atrix HD] tacotino:
In the part where you have no signal you should turn phone on airplane mode.. The phone will waste a ton of power looking for signal
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
Smart Actions and Juice Defender work great together. Mind you that juice defender takes a day or two to learn your phones habbits.

Honestly I'd check your apps and see what services they are running and disable them. Not a lot of apps were made or updated for ICS yet, so you'll find a few here or there that will stop your phone from going into sleep.

If your battery life gets worse, I'd go get it checked out. My first Samsung Captivate battery held a weak charge, then all of a sudden the charge died. AT&T replaced it for me.

I felt the same way you did the first day I owned the phone. Once I got things setup right, it's been a dream. Honestly no, I havent lost any function out of my phone. I just learned some new habbits... like closing out of apps completely. Turning my screen of instead of letting it time out. ect..

---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

Yep.. scanning for signal is probably the biggest battery killer you could have.

Honestly I'd just put my phone into sleep mode until I was in an area with service.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vectorized:
thanks guys, i'm getting slightly better battery life.

I'll post a screenshot of my battery levels graph when it gets lower later today. I installed Juice defender after getting to a full charge (chargin while off) at 1am. Went to sleep, and it didnt lose too much in the next several hours. which was nice.

right now, at work, w/ no service, but I'm on wifi and I'm not in airplane or sleep mode, it's lasting pretty evenly.

To me, it seems like the screen is the BIGGEST battery suck. I've noticed that every time my graph dips rapidly, it's when the screen is on. I dont think the brightness can be turned down enough. And I tend to check my phone a lot.

I imagine a bugfix in the future, which will adjust the way the screen uses power, but right now, combining screen & lte use basically murders the phone.

Someone else mentioned they played a game for 1.5 hours and the phone was almost dead. There's definitely something bad happening with screentime being proportionate to battery.

Note the correlation in the image :(

It starts at 1am, the drop in the middle is 5:30am, when my alarm went off for almost 45min and I didnt wake up.

The next major drop is my 1.5hr commute. But I was streaming video this time for 3/4th of it.

Then I got to work.

(((((I'm not really complaining anymore at this point, i know I've gotta tweak my usage, and let the tools figure out the battery, as well as let the battery itself figure out my usage better.... in due time it'lll get better. Now I'm pretty much just trying to share information w/ interested parties))))
[Motorola Atrix HD] MaxisDB:
Try putting the phone in airplane mode, then going into settings and turning wifi back on when you are in a place with no cell service. It'll turn off the cell radio but let the wifi one work.
