[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmycrackcorn1:
Mebin, I have exchanged 3 of these suckers.

First nexus 7 had a blown crackling/vibrating speaker, don't recall the SN bit it was an 8gb.

Second one I bought was a 16gb, speaker was a little better but blew within a few days. SN was C90.

Third was a 32gb. Really biting my tounge at this point. SN also C90. Hoping for the best, I Unboxed the thing & used only to realize the speaker was barley functioning, I couldn't even hear the audio on anything, you tube, browser vids, Pandora, ext. This time I decide to pop the back cover of & take a peek inside. Well, when I was in there I noticed finger prints everywhere on the copper plating which triggered my memory to remember seeing a few prints on the screen & reminense of some tape on the back cover as if their had been a repair ticket on it. Needless to say, this unit was obviously sent back to google for the problem listed above. I find it extremely troublesome they would send this back out not only as ''new'' but with prints all over it & a speaker you couldn't even hear.

Fourth one is also a 32gb with a diff SN, it is CAO. You should of seen the poor guy @ wallmart i had fishing around for specific SN's. He wasn't too happy, but neither am I. So.. this last one is a little better in terms of speaker quality, or should I say functionality because to be honest, its still horrible in terms of sound, but it hasn't blown yet so I'm lucky. I have however, noticed touchscreen unresponsiveness when browsing, which is weird cuz ive heard of the bug but never experienced it until unit #4. Once in a while I have to click links two or three times which can get pretty annoying.

However, no matter what rom I use with the nexus 7, custom/stock, 4.1/4.2, THEY ALL HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH THE STICKY, JERKY, UNRESPONSIVE SCROLLING. ITS AS IF THEY HAVE NO INERTIA. My POS motorolla triumph has better scrolling capabilities & speaker that is louder/clearer than this thing, which is a real bummer because that phone is over a year old & its a prepaid on Virgin!! + I Only had to buy it once.

On top of all this I've bought two $15 play store cards & neither of them have worked, one says invalid code the other says cannot redeem at this time, please try again later.

I have always been a hardcore Android/Google fanboy, but after all this I'm really starting to second guess the Android platform. :mad: These are the types of things that make ppl jump ship & buy those over priced ''revolutionary'' iOS devices.

It seems to have gotten even worse on 4.2. It actually sticks to my thumb & goes backwards a bit when im done with the swipe. I just counted the # of thumb swipes it took to get to the top of the page in this tapatalk app. I have the # of posts per page set as low as it will go. I counted 10 posts on this page, it took me 19 thumb swipes to get to from the bottom to the top. No exageration! 19!! That's just totally unacceptable!! My cell is running an unofficial cm9 port & it totally flings, almost too fast, I have to stop it sometimes. Same with a stock original kindle fire I have, it flings fast too. I really live this tablet but WTF Google?

I recall back in CM 7 there was a option to adjust the weights of scrolling & their bounce/glow effects. I wonder if that could be built into a current ROM?
