I know I am going to be shunned, stoned and beat to death for this but in all honesty GOOGLE needs to take a queue from Apple on how to utilize customer service...I have had the worst experiences dealing with Google cs and had it been any other company I honestly would have stopped buying their products but since i'm already heavily invested with them and there really isn't an alternative I'm pretty much SOL....That is unless Microsoft steps up and delivers a great product and OS with half decent Customer service and build quality.

*sigh* End rant.

I'm just tired of every Android Device I purchase having issues and then having to deal with sub par support from the companies. The quality control issues are understandable (definitely not acceptable....but understandable) but at least give us decent customer support if you're going to give us a product that wasn't built properly...

End Rant 2...

Lol sorry guys, I'm just really pissed /: First it was my LTE and now this. Actually first it was my OG Evo... First world problems :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] kattara:
Wait... What? Here in Canada we get charged shipping plus taxes. My pre-order came to $310.07.
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
No sorry that is not a good argument, and it is certainly not the only reason people are frustrated and want to communicate this to Google.

This seems to be one of the worst online purchases made by many people posting here.

Pre-order - generally accepted to mean the product will be delivered very close to the time it becomes available to retailers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-order)

Feedback - Google failed to contact everyone about the delays to shipping - how could this happen?

Communication - how difficult has it been to contact google customer service for this last week? (hours waiting for phone contact, basically impossible to get a response to emails).

Cancellations - until the last 24 hours, Google call centre staff have refused to process cancellations, even when shipment may be a week or so away.

Delivery - many posters have complained about paying 2-day shipping charges for standard shipping (especially Canada , I believe). There can be no excuse for this.
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
yea i like to know too. my 8Gb comes to a total of 250 and change. thank you Ontario 13% HST. :eek:

and to some posts above; it's not the delay that most Canadians are pissed off. they promised mid-July, and they start shipping mid-July, and that's fine and dandy. Suuuuure, some folks got lucky and able to pick up at the nearest store at the same time, good for them! I couldn't care less.

What we're pissed off at is the fact we paid for a promise that it is a 2-day delivery shipping, yet we're getting UPS standard. Which would translate to 5-7 business days. That's whacked.

Tell us right in the beginning that it will be UPS standard and it costs $20, then some people won't preorder, some preorder anyway (and they can't complain if it got delayed). seems fair to me. But don't break your own promise, Google. That's just bad business. Shame on you.
[Nexus 7 General] glowworm62:
All your counterpoints are "first world problems" they really are. They are nothing to get so worked up over! Especially when you are talking about such a low cost device.

After a few days or weeks who cares if your pre-order came before or after a quantity in the B&M stores. You will forget the delay.

The change in shipping means shipping can be refunded if your countries consumer laws allow. Australia's does, I have been refunded already.

Cancellation confuses the ordering system, now that hundreds of thousands of these things are out of their system they are not as swamped.

Something happened, we don't know the entire story and we wont as it's internal and secret... but something happened. I base this on Australia's shipping changing from Singapore to Hong Kong and the talk of some people saying the security tape had been slit. All rumours and conjecture of course.

Of course it's also possible they were just blown out of the water by the demand.

I like to think our discussions about the concerns have already been read. It seems that Google Lurkers are noticing what we asked as the notes were there and happened after being mentioned. They know all the shortcomings I believe all too well, I am hoping they have positive improvement so that they can move to be better next time, but the way people are still angry beggars belief. Really.

There is no need to rub their face in it any more.

You can phone and ask for a refund on the shipping. I did, I got it.

Honey catches more flies than vinegar so don't be pissed off when you phone them, be nice.
[Nexus 7 General] miketoasty:
Pre-order - In my mind means you are guaranteed the product after it is released, not when it is released. Reminds me of when the Xbox 360 was released, if you didn't have a pre-order you were screwed, not because you wouldn't get it the second it came out but because you wouldn't get it for months because of high demand.

Feedback - What delays? There was never an official release date. Pretty sure Google did that on purpose.

Communication - Blame that on the thousands of people calling in asking where their tablet is. Any company can get swamped (Even Apple or Microsoft) with a big enough release.

Cancellations - The devices were sent to UPS a week before the device was shipped, you can't cancel a shipment without taking a monetary hit after it is out of your hands.

Delivery - $10 shipping is what I usually spend on 3 - 5 day shipping, no arguments from me.
[Nexus 7 General] starplaya93:
No offense, but this entire forum deals with "first world problems".

You think people in third world countries spend their time rooting their devices and crying to developers over ETA's? We are a materialistic people, you, me and everybody else on this forum.
[Nexus 7 General] kattara:
$10 would be ok with me too for 3 - 5 day shipping. But $20 for 5 - 7? I'm sure you wouldn't be very happy about that. Especially when you were promised express 2 day shipping, and no other choices.

But can somebody please clarify what one of the above posters meant when he said no tax? Like my fellow Canadian and I stated above, we get charged 13% tax (for me it's BC HST) PLUS $20 shipping. Now can you understand how we are kinda upset?
[Nexus 7 General] lehons:
I agree.

I really didn't care about getting mine first, but I'm now super unhappy that I was forced to pay $19.99 for 2-day shipping, and it went out UPS Standard. And when I say "forced", I mean it: Since Google isn't selling the 8GB model at retail stores, if you want the 8GB you have no choice but to order from the Play store and pay their shipping fee. And they don't give an option on shipping services - you have to take 2-day shipping. And then they send it out regular ground anyway.

I've e-mailed Google twice since mine shipped out asking for a refund on the shipping - not because I want mine now, not because I pre-ordered and it came late, but because I paid for one thing and got another. I'm still waiting on an answer.

Has anyone else heard from Google about the shipping changes?

In terms of collective communcation, there is a petition on change.org, but online petitions don't do anything. More effective, to be honest, is probably just voicing your opinion and contributing to the conversation in forums like these. Google is definitely monitoring these, and the more people express their frustration, the more pressure they'll feel to do something to restore the goodwill the awesomeness of the Nexus 7 initially generated.
[Nexus 7 General] kattara:
Yeah, read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28994828
[Nexus 7 General] lehons:
Thanks, that's encouraging. I've been trying to call, but didn't want to spend 45 minutes on hold at the office. I guess I'll just wait till I get a response to my e-mails, then call in if I have to.

I've been debating going to buy a 16GB on Saturday morning to keep me busy over the weekend, since if you take into account the shipping it's only a $40 difference. But if Google will refund my shipping, that'll be enough to convince me to wait until I receive mine.

UPDATE:

I just got off the phone with Google (after 25 minutes on hold). The CSR I spoke to was friendly and patient, especially given what must be super stressful days over there. I said I was calling to get a refund on my shipping, because I paid for 2-day and it went out ground. After checking my tracking #, he first told me that I'm the first person he's spoken to tonight whose shipment didn't go 2-day and that the Standard shipping must have been "a fluke". But he also agreed that it's not acceptable.

He put me on hold to look into it, and after a few more minutes he confirmed that they would issue me a refund for the shipping. Easy (if you've got a half-hour to devote to it).

I wouldn't be surprised at this point if Google just issues shipping refunds to everyone, whether they call in or not, given the mess. But I didn't want to risk that.

UPDATE:

Google just added a $10.50 refund to my Wallet account. Not exactly what I was expecting, but I suppose it'll have to do. Given that, it doesn't seem likely that they'll be issuing refunds for everyone after all. I suggest you call.
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
That makes no sense whatsoever. The devices are shipped from a logistics distribution hub. The only burden imposed by a cancellation would be for Google to change an entry on their stock control system and have the device shipped to someone else instead.
[Nexus 7 General] TorontoR:
Folks in Canada, just call in to cancel your order (I tried the email option as I put my cancellation request on Tuesday and didn't get a response). I called the 1800 number, waited 5 minutes, spoke to a supervisor and 3 minutes later got notification my order was cancelled in full. I had ordered minutes after it was released on June 27th. Also, to stop the BS for them refusing the cancellation, I told them I had already picked up a Nexus 7 from a local retailer, they then cleared this with a supervisor who promptly green lighted the cancellation

Long story short, went to my local Future Shop yesterday where they had about 20 of the 16 gb on the shelf and bought it there. Saved on the aggravation of waiting and also saved the 20 bucks in shipping. Also, as soon as I turned on the Nexus 7 and put in my email, I received a notification I have a $25 credit for the Google Playstore.
[Nexus 7 General] schugh:
I had many similar issues with my pre-order of my Asus Transformer Prime.

I almost pre-ordered the Nexus 7 but the shipping charge was off-putting.

I had it in my cart for a few days trying to decide and then finally just cancelled it.

I figured I can wait until it hits the retail stores here in Canada.

On Sunday the 15th in the evening, I found out Staples was selling them and had stock in some stores.

I tried my luck first thing Monday morning. The first store didn't have any but the sales guy said another store did.

Another 10 minute drive and I came home with it.

I am enjoying it very much. No shipping charges to pay. Just maybe a couple of dollars worth of gas.

I still got the $25 Play Store credit.

I don't think I would every pre-order anything with my experience now.

Beyond Pissed Google says yell at ups when it comes in

Ok here is the deal. I noticed everyone was saying origin scan Louisville Kentucky.So i checked into this.. Turns out google hired UPS To handle the launch. GOOGLE Is also keeping quiet the fact that UPS SCREWED THIS UP. They were not suposed to have shipped to the venders until the end user units prior to 7-13 were shipped..

For anyone that does not know USP is headquarter here and there largest shipping hub is located here as well as usp LOGISTICS.(the company messing this launch up) They are the ones also responsible for this ups mail intigration crap shipping

So im beyond pissed and been firing email at google all say and will continue to do so even beyond the date i get my tablet.. I WANT MY SHIPPING COST BACK.. i could walk to get the thing if were not for the airport security.. GRRRRRRR
[Nexus 7 General] lehons:
That's funny, because in a conversation I was having with a Google CSR last week I suggested that if Google can't handle supply management and delivery well, they should farm it out instead of doing a half-assed job themselves. Little did I know...

But where did you get the story? Is it verified?
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
It's well known UPS handles the US and Canadian shipping.

UPS can and does handle bigger launch deliveries, and much busier times, such as before Christmas.

Google is just blaming UPS. Google hired UPS, so of course UPS keeps their mouths shut.

Google setup whatever deal they had with UPS. In the end it's Google's fault.

Google is also an Asus customer. So Asus keeps it's mouth shut.

And we have no idea about the details of the agreements between Google and UPS or Asus.
[Nexus 7 General] hawleyncsu:
So after a week of waiting for a response, Google agreed to refund my shipping cost. My justification was that it did not arrive within the 2 day shipping they promised (shipped on Thursday, arrived on Tuesday).
[Nexus 7 General] MikeMurphy:
Google screwed up, but **** happens even to those who are prepared.

They aren't known for screwing up, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DLPLonny:
I hope there isn't already a topic on this.

I bought the Nexus 7 from ebuyer and can't use the UK charger in Germany. What charger could i buy to charge it as fast as with the original? My HTC Wildfire charger isn't doing anything and the one from my Xperia Play is just charging very slow.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: What 'specs' should the carger have/for what could i search on Amazon? If that makes sense.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmonke255:
Just buy an adapter. I don't know the electrical specs in Germany but the adapter is able to carry 100V-250V or something like that.

If you want a separate one, it needs at least an output of 5V and 2 Amps.

Hey guy am very very luv this launcher but it alway crashing it hard to explain cuz this problem is random sometime on home screen my clock widget is look so strange in this pic it a launcher bug I am right? Thx for reply:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
I actually stopped using Nova (I also paid for Prime) because every once in a while, frequently, if I exit out of an app by hitting the home button, the app in the foreground freezes, screen goes black, and then Nova reloads as if recovering from a crash (no Force Close). This has been on every ROM I've used (stock and Omega 7, 8, 9.0). Touchwiz launcher doesn't crash and neither does Apex, but Apex has lag. Anyone have a solution?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty1483:
Set launcher priority to 1.

Worked for me even with Nova (still using). Just use the search.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
According to Auto Memory Manager (mentioned in the launcher lag-reducing thread), the OOM priority for Nova is 1 already, or it set it to 1. We'll see if it makes any difference.

@sjknight413​

AOSP camera, unfortunately MIUI only offer said camera to a selection of devices. Not something that can be implemented easily, saying that I did have a quick look at it during my HD2 port some time ago but didn't give it substantial enough thought.

May have another crack at it though and I shall keep you updated.
[HTC Sensation] chrisnk204:
Yo for now use an app from the market font installer or something anyway why doesn't capacitive button lights work or haptic fb? Cm9 is working perfectly and thats the base i want to hop on miui because i love the theming abilities ive been using miui since my nexus one days i always jump from cm to miui idk why i love aosp the smoothness the UI but sometimes i want a fully themed rom and cm9 cant compare to miui on that note but anyway is everything smooth? Recently miui has been a little laggy and it doesn't play video from gallery and this one bug where u cant set a custom lockscreen wallpaper omg its a small thing but thats what makes it annoying its so small how can it be not working !!! Lol anyway can someone try these things and post results its gonna be hard to leave vorbeths cm9 rom ITS FLAWLESS right now and yes including battery life!
[HTC Sensation] Stickman89:
CM9 is the base of the rom but MIUI handles things a little differently in comparison to AOSP builds, well recently anyway; MIUI uses alot of it's own framework and associated jar files handling alot of these features.

Just to clarify haptic feedback is only an issue for capacitive buttons, also capacitive lights are effected along the way too (keyboard haptic feedback is fine) . I do plan on fixing this ASAP but it means using baksmali to decompile classes.dex and work my way through a ton of smali to find the offending lines, which could take me some time and I hadn't planned on delaying the build any longer.

Also yes customized (non theme) wallpapers apply absolutely fine to both lockscreen/homescreen as I'm sure many will confirm along with myself.

Again to answer your question and I'm sure most will back me up here, the build is very fluid and smooth and it's appearing to remain so even after consistent use and even whilst data & cache builds up (especially the IME keyboard, seems to be flying for me; anyone else?).

Now you might think, of coarse I'll say that it's my own build after all but whenever you feel willing to try the build out, I'll be grateful to here your feedback and I'll work together with all our current users to get things ironed out, operating consistently, reliably and efficiently in no time.

Also don't appear to be having any issues playing video's in supplied MIUI gallery, will need others to confirm but I think you'll agree the two minor bugs are acceptable given the fact there are few (if any at all) developers who have been able to port the latest features into their build properly and without bypassing additional and unique MIUI touches.
