Do you want jellybean or ICS custom ROM?

Team eos ROMs are THE ones for you, stable and super fast,

Mz604 jellybean ROM from team eos. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28576370

Mz601 jellybean ROM from team eos. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=171.

Mz601 ICS ROM from team eos. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=491

Mz604 ICS ROM from team eos. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20479464

Without doubt, team eos roms are the best. No debate about it at all.

As for ics , or jellybean, team eos ROMs ICS are fully customized and funtional even with theme engine. Lots of options included.

Jellybean ROMs are under development, but they are so stable, and compared to ICS, they are way smoother and faster including more options from source.

Team eos release updates and add features support constantly say every week at least which you flash with wiping cache and dalvik only. Their amazing work is appreciated and guess what, they do it for free. That is why we love them and donate to them.

As for the added features of jellybean on top of ICS by Google source, refer to this link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28839960

Bottom line, catch team eos and preferably jellybean to feel how amazingly smooth and fast it is asap.

As for over clocking, they have this option under system settings for over clocking. And, you also can download off the market setcpu app or any other equivalent app to do the same job.

The url you posted for Mz601 isn't work for me. Can you double-check it? I tried to browse for it but all I found was what appears to be a EU version.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
This is a good device. I'm coming from iOS, so Android is new for me but the Nexus 7 is awesome. I only waited this long because pre-ICS I was afraid of fragmentation and went to the 'more stable' iPad 2. Now, I kind of regret that!

I have noticed a couple of things that trouble me, but it could just be me. Today I was running on the battery for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I had played Dark Meadow, Duke Nukem 3D, Hanging with Friends, and setting up widgets on my home screen (I still haven't gotten used to what widgets on what home screen)..but it was already at 75% discharging (the wording seems odd but basically 25% of the battery already been used). I have the screen brightness down; and I do stream TWiT.tv through an app..and I get about 3-5 hours of battery life doing that. Is that normal?

BUT playing audio podcasts with screen locked, wifi off when it sleeps, etc i get 13 hours (yes, last night it clocked in at 13 hours 1 minute before battery died.)

I'm wondering this is normal. I do love the device though; so it may just be me being odd and worrying too much as i am new to Android :)

Overall, after selling my iPad 2, I'd give the Nexus 7 a 9/10. There needs to be more games I love (like hero academy, um..there were a couple I really loved on iOS that I loved but can't remember the names at all!) and at first I was having a hard time getting epub and pdf books onto the device, even using FBreader but I converted them to mobi and that's not a problem anymore.

Seriously, I love the device despite what Ithe issues I had--and they are my issues, not Google.
[Nexus 7 General] slimdizzy:
Some of those games you installed probably have some background service for ads or something, think of open feint and the like. Those services if not optimized for JB will drain your battery.

Auto brightness fr me and my battery is avg 8 hours with gaming, reading, Skype/googketalk video chatting.

Try to see if the games you have also have tegra versions usually marked by a THD in he title, they will wok better on this device.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
I deleted most of the games if I don't like them, but I do make sure that they're THD 99.99% of the time. I also turned down my screen brightness. To give an idea. I just turned on F-Con's TWiT.tv app, with the brightness down..and it's at 68% discharging (I really wish they would have said 68% left or something) and it's been running for an 1 hour 45 minutes on the battery.

I'm really starting to think, and I posted this on G+, that I can't do ANYTHING with my device unless it's audio only and it's a little frustrating, but like I said, it's also probably just me being an idiot somewhere somehow. I really don't know what else to do to keep it from draining so fast (at least it feels fast) unless I keep it plugged into the charger when I'm streaming video. I know when I play games I like to go relax and lay down so I'm comfortable and I only stream video when I'm at my desk..so maybe just keeping it plugged in when doing that would be the best option.
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
It say "discharging" because that's exactly what it's doing. When plugged in, it says "charging".
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Yes, thank you. Just not used to that term being used. Remember, I did come from iOS :) they don't use it, at least from what I remember and saw, in their settings.
[Nexus 7 General] jaju123:
Takes a few charging cycles before battery life is at its best!
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Good point! I've tried not to charge it unless it's going dead.

I think my main problems

-I stream twit.tv while on battery (maybe I should plug it in?)

-I've watched video podcasts while on battery (Maybe I should plug it in or switch to audio?)

-I have the brightness turned up (I've tried turning it down but it gets too dark for my bad eye sight)

I mean the list of stuff I do is:

-Play casual games

-Try more 'intense' games like dead trigger, duke nukem 3d

-send an email/text message via the voice typing

-Use Google Now/Voice Activities

-tweet, facebook, g+

-Use Google Drive or Evernote because I'm a writer.

-watch twit.tv

The most intense thing I do are the games and twit.tv. But I can still get 6-7 hours even doing those two things. So the battery isn't horrible, it's just me being hypersensitive I'd imagine.
[Nexus 7 General] rayandreas:
great write up, op! you are a rare Ios person that I run into that isnt bashing how android ISNT Ios. Im glad to see that you have a great opinion and notice that this is a different system altogether. thanks, and Im glad you like the device...welcome to the Android family!
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Thank you! I would never bash it because it's not iOS. They were, at one point, two different beasts. Now, they're starting to become..well not the same as they are very different but they are starting to do more of the same. Personally, I just got tired of that walled garden of Apple. With the nexus 7, I've already downloaded stuff from Amazon's app store, the play store, etc. the only thing I haven't done is gone to a developer directly and installed something.

Overall, I love the nexus 7. it's the perfect size for reading a book and for playing many games. Google Now is nice because I can check the Pirates or Steelers score or the score of their rivals.

I really do love this.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Got my N7 last night. Full charge overnight. Today I was on it constantly. I had almost 9 hours with almost 6 hours screen on time. This was playing FPse and xda and a few other games.

Facebook SUCKS on android. Their app has background crap that chews through the battery. Delete that crap and either use a Widget (Android Pro Widgets) or a 3rd party app or just use the browser. Not only will these alternatives work better, you'll also see tons of extra battery life.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
I will actually do that. I trust guys like you since you have more experience with Android than I do. ;)

I actually got, so far, doing everything that I would even with the streaming of the TWiT Network..I got 9 hours 48 minutes 18 seconds. Almost 10 hours doing what I normally do (play games, emails, txt, streaming video, etc) So I think the battery's starting to normalize to what I do (is that even possible? lol!)

Still 6+ hours doing all of that stuff, to me, is pretty dang good. I used to get about 4-5 hours on my iPad 2 doing all of that stuff.
[Nexus 7 General] john.2011:
I got 5h20min screen time with 2 days usages
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
Always use the m.facebook site if you can, it's so much better than the Android app.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
..I don't really know how to compete with that. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. lol. What exactly were you doing with it that you only got 5 hours 20 minutes over the course of two days? I mean that's only 2.66667 hours per day!
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
m.facebook.com got it.

Any other tips/tricks/apps (preferably free. I already used my credits! I have a 1.53 left lol.) you who came before me have?
[Nexus 7 General] Seihaku:
Gaming drains the battery a good bit, it's as simple as that.

I've had no problem with the battery life, it isn't super long but it's more than sufficient... (I have the brightness jacked way up.)
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Under Settings -> Accounts and Sync, be sure to disable Instant Upload. (Along with anything else that you don't need, but I've found Instant Upload to be a major battery culprit.)

If you root, you can get BetterBatteryStats for a more thorough analysis.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Except I'm not gaming 24/7, I'll play for 5 minutes, maybe 10 (only sometimes longer)

Like I said I'm checking email, playing say Hanging with Friends, Tiny Tower, etc. then sending a text message, or a tweet or a facebook update, or a google plus update then I'm watching a twt.tv video or the livestream when a show is on.

It can't be just the gaming. and like I said, it could just be me. Today, for example, even though I streamed twit.tv, played a couple of games and all the rest..I still got 10 hours.

I've turned off wifi when alseep, as an example. I turned off instant upload. stuff like that. I still average abotu 10 hours a day, it was just that one day I got about 5-6 hours. I'll give it a try Monday or Tuesday again. I'll do nothing but stream off of the app I have for TWiT and see if I can reproduce it but it looks like 10 hours is about average for me.

As I said, and I know I'm repeating myself, it could just be me being hypersensitive about a new device and a new OS.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
yep! i did that day one..cause funny thing. I found all of my G+ photos in the gallery and I'm like "WTF!? I didn't put those in there!" So I turned off instant upload and syncing photos. I keep the GPS and what not on only so I can use Google Now (you know, the "how tall is the Eiffel tower" thing?--brain's a little fuzzy at the moment)
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I may be the only one to actually like the Facebook widget... I never actually open the app, but it is fun tabbing through

all my friend's statuses on the widget. My battery life seems fine...

Aside: One little feature I love is use Google Now to verbally "Set alarm to 25 minutes". That is how I know when my meal is ready...
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
If you don't want to convert your epubs, try the Aldiko app.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Already did. Quick and painless. I converted them and their now mobis and sitting in my kindle app. But thank you for the rec!
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
One thing that does annoy me...

Okay, so I'm using the voice typing and I say "I love this, but if I could get this off of here for my mom.." ('this' isn't the nexus 7 but a generic this) and I get "Hi awesome ice cream but if I could get this love this here 4 my mom.." I know it's not perfect but anytime I say "for" or "to/too" I get "4" and "2" as in the numbers, not the words two or four. Also how do you get "awesome ice cream" otu of "love this" and "love this" out of "off of".

It's a minor annoyance and I'm sure it'll get better, but voice typing has moments where it's positively brilliant and moments where I might as well just chuck it at the window.
[Nexus 7 General] rockky:
Yeah, although google now might be the best recognition function ive used to date...I still ALWAYS think typing wouldve been faster!
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Not so much faster, just more accurate ;) I mean there are times, say in google docs, facebook, etc that it's perfect then in g+, again in google docs, and say a text message it's not.

It's a minor thing that I'm sure Google will make better since it is a nexus device and they can push out updates easier but I do wish it was better now. lol.
[Nexus 7 General] donwhall70:
I love this thing although it's not as buttery smooth as it was hyped up to be.
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
My wife and I both think this thing is lightning quick, coming from an OG Transformer and ipad 2 that is.
[Nexus 7 General] painter_:
OP, I was starting to have a lot of respect for you and your outlook of a IOS user moving to Android until I saw this in one of your posts. If you would be checking on any other teams you would of not lost my admiration. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
No, it's not perfect but you know what? Google didn't claim it to be perfect, unlike a company I won't mention that keeps bringing patent lawsuits.

I mean They said it's the final product; but final does not equal perfect. Compared to the iPad 2, I love it! Perfect size and shape.

For me, coming from iOS, it's still a challenging to figure out things like what widgets to use, and the fact that I can choose where to get apps from, or choose to put a boatloader app on it and be able to turn the homescreen sideways, for example.
[Nexus 7 General] darko_77:
My Nexus 7 dies at 20%. Any advice?
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:

I'm done with the Walled Garden which, when you really look at it, is an immaculately constructed padded cell. Its a prison. Why do you think people call it "jailbreaking"? LOL! ;)

My iPhone now sits by, unused... I don't even touch it for phone calls due to routing everything to my N7 using Google Voice + Talkatone. :D

The N7 is amazing. I love it. Bye-bye iPhone and the pretty prison that is iOS! :thumbup:

Jelly Bean is awesome, but not the hardware.... my device is less than 1 month old and it just cracked itself, there wasn't any external force or pressure, it just cracked suddenly, while i was still using it 5 minutes ago. im not sure if it's the "manufacturing fault" for early adopters, but now i'm a bit disappointed with asus's rubbish hardware...
[Nexus 7 General] tsironakos:
Well, games always suck battery like bloody-thirsty demons :p As you describe, 1 hour of gaming could lead to 25% battery discharge.

You can always calibrate your battery for maximum performance. There are apps that lead you to do that or you can do it manually by draining the battery till it's totally empty and then recharging to full. Also, battery has to be recharged several times before reaching its sweet spot, as someone said before.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
Which part cracked?
[Nexus 7 General] Wakawaka024:
So what you're saying is there was no pressure or force...... It just suddenly cracked?......
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
I want to know which part cracked. It sounds kind of dubious, TBH.
[Nexus 7 General] ycfreeman:
it cracked like this. you can see it is a super clean single line crack. if it's cracked by pressure or drop, you usually get multiple lines... the whole digitizer is not working now.

The "best" part is support:

I've entered a support message from nexus 7 support page, and they say they don't support hardware and redirected me to Asus support page,

then I've explained the same crack to the Asus guy and they say it's a Google device and they redirected me to Google Sydney.

then Google Sydney said they don't have support for nexus 7 and told me to search for nexus 7 support page.

well I'll try to get the support page to call me again but I'm kind of stuck now...

Op keep doing what your doing and don't worry too much about battery life. Enjoy your tablet. It has a microsd to charge which means you have a billion places to charge it. You're pretty heavy user and you are pretty much using its full potential and using the thing.

Im a heavy user myself on the galaxy nexus and can't believe users get when they say their battery last over a day but they only got like 3 hours screen time. I get over 4 hours but battery life is like 8 hours. Meaning I use the phone heavily. I stopped worrying about battery life and will expect the nexus to get a even bigger battery like a RAZR max type battery,

Keep enjoying the nexus man. Youtube, games, forums, g+, talk, etc... nexus 7 tackles all those things without a hiccup. Oh finally rooted and running bug less beast. Ooh man I love open source.

"if it is a cracked screen, we cannot do anything for you" redirects back to Asus. :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
I kind of understand where they're coming from since that kind of stuff just doesn't happen. Not saying I don't believe you but if true, you're just really unlucky. These tablets have had their QC issues but a screen just cracking on its own is probably one in a million.

Hope you have better luck with ASUS.
[Nexus 7 General] Springveldt:
Make that 2 in a million then, same thing happened to mine the other day.

Since this is my first post I can't insert a link but the image can be found here. imgur.com/nahAt

I had the screen rising problem and the sensitivity started to go on the screen. I guess I must have pushed the screen back down 1 time too many. As you can see the fracture has happened right at that point where the screen is weakest.

I've to send Asus a picture but they have basically told me it won't be fixed under warranty even although I've never dropped/damaged the Nexus.

So all those that have the rising defect, get it replaced asap. Don't make the same mistake as me.
[Nexus 7 General] Killasmoke:
Love this tablet I'm getting 7 & half hour of screen on time & the thing last me a whole day if I use it a lot but I've gotten 42 hour with it off charger before I had to plug it back in !:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igbo_scouser:
I am currently in the process of sending back my nexus 7 because of a pretty defective speaker. The speaker crackles and pops when played above 40% . It basically renders sound on this thing without headphones as a boon starter.

I have two questions to the forum:

1) is anyone else experiencing this problem?

2) is it true that the problem stems from too much power behind sent to the speaker chip. A guy on another forum reckoned it could be fixed with software but I severely doubt that. I think the speaker is just damaged or loose

Kind Regards

@Igboscouser
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Sounds like you blew out the speaker. Good luck with your RMA.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BamAlmighty:
I have the same problem, waiting for Goog to send me a RMA link... been two days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0gky:
If it helps, I had a similar problem with distortion of certain audio over 50% volume. Fixed it by installing Equalizer and reducing the for the faders two lowest frequency bands.

I can now run full volume without issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
I think one of theverge people had this as well. I think Topolsky, in their latest podcast said "I liked the speaker" while his disgruntled colleague said speaker was bad. Looks like defect number three has reared its head (screen separation, digitiser fault).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General Rookie:
Mine is broken too

I just got off the phone with Google. As soon as I mentioned distorted sound above 50% volume they said It was defective. They are sending me a new one within a week with a box and shipping for the bad one. I'm pretty sure they've been dealing with this a lot. They aren't the manufacturer so they aren't going to dispute or question a bad product. They know they initial bad reviews about sound could destroy sales.

I'm pretty sure that ASUS installed speakers that can't handle the output frequencies. Doubt they have a fix but maybe Google could update the code to meet the speaker frequency range while allowing the headphone jack to retain full audio range. A generic across the board equalizer adjustment might fix the internal speaker issues but would ruin the headphone usage. I just a thought.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

It works but makes external speakers and headphones sound terrible. Great idea though. It will have to do until I get a new one. Since so some people aren't having sound issues I'm going to exercise my warranty rights until I'm satisfied.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noes_oh:
I've just run into this exact same problem. Looks like I'll also be lodging a RMA for "speaker crackles above 50% volume" with Google.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fairyliquidizer:
I have distortion at volumes above 60 % however it varies with material. Cinema Paradiso theme music seams to have the perfect tones to rattle the speaker on mine.

I am not sure if this is normal as mine sounds better than the MP3 of this I was listening to above. I really don't want to be parted from my Nexus. Still I am disappointed that the speaker is impractical for film watching when on trips.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangxi:
No speaker problems at all here. Thank the Lord.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
The replacement device I received yesterday, which has screen lift issues (3rd device with the same problem) now has speaker/ headphone jack issues. I left it turned on and charging yesterday evening for about 2 hours and when I came back to unplug it the device was stuck at the Google boot up screen and the back/bottom of the device was 127 degrees (I have an infrared temperature gun). Now the speakers and headphones can barely be heard with the volume all the way up. Hopefully the third replacement will not have any problems.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenoran:
Bleh was starting to think I had a good one but was in denial about the speaker problem. Glad I found this thread so I try to get a better one. All these mfg defects it's like you won the lottery when u get a good one. Lol
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeon:
Got a nexus with the same issue, it honestly does not bother me as I use my headphones a majority of the time. I rather dig in there then to send it in and have a risk of getting a unit with other issues
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaro1985:
Any chance you could give me a quick guide on how you did this?

I thought my device was flawless until I noticed this speaker issue.
