I am VERY happy with my Nexus 7. I had a little squeek problem that was solved by loosening and tightening the bezel screws. I still have my GT 7.0 Plus but it now lives in a drawer waiting for ICS. The Nexus 7 is very fast, the screen is wonderful and overall it is fantastic.Ditched my iPad and could not be happier.
[Nexus 7 General] mario23:
I've heard a lot of good things about the Nexus 7. So much so that mine arrives tomorrow. I'm glad to hear people are enjoying it and it sounds like a real smooth experience. I got rid of my old Gnex 1 and am ready for some 7" goodness. I was using an ipad I got for free for the last 6 months but its just too boring to me...gave it to the wife.
[Nexus 7 General] sped_13:

LOL, really? :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] Luna_Sky:
lol.. You are aware that the operating system.. Oh wait, never mind..

You don't have a defect. Like a computer, the operating system is installed on the "hard drive" or memory and does take up space. :eek: Therefore 8GB, with Jellybean installed, has probably 6GB left and 13 or 14GB is normal for the 16GB model.

On my 3rd N7. 2@ C7 & the C8 I'm using now (2weeks) very happy with everything, slight screen lift lower left, white line bug & that is it (kernel related IIRC) not a deal breaker IMO.

My wife got a 10.1 tab2 the same week, paid a ton more for a slower spec (although it does have that nice big screen)

[Nexus 7 General] threelions:
Got mine today and I'm not sure if I'm happy lol.

It's my first 7" tab(I have a first gen Ipad, don't hate me I got it cheap second hand) and I love the size, it'll be perfect for what I had in mind, a tab for when I commute to and from work, when I travel and general use out and about. It's fast and looks beautiful. However....

I have screen lift, it's only slight but the area is spongy which is what worries me a lot more than the slight lift.

I think I have the screen flicker problem, hoping you guys could tell me. I have no flicker on coloured screens but with the brightness set low, any white parts flicker now and then as if the brightness setting can't make it's mind up.

People mention washed out colours, my home screen seems dull but using say Flipboard or watching the Transformers film that came with it the colours look great. So do I have a bad screen or is it just Google's wallpapers sucks?

Might have some screen bleed need to check it out, sometimes seems bad other times fine.

If I decide to return it, do you think I should take it back to the shop(HMV in the UK) or try using the warranty with Asus? Has Google mentioned anything about the issues and what they plan to do? If I do return it to HMV how can I wipe my personnel data off of it?

Sorry for the ramble and stupid questions but I'm not an expert on this stuff and rely on forums like this for answers.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Lol really? You are aware they rate everything in raw unformatted space. My PS3 when I bought it was a 40gb model, but I only had 33gig available out of the box. My Zune was a 30 gig but only had 27gig available. My captivate had 16 gig built in and about just as much space available as the nexus 7.

This is every device out there. They should classify it by the the available space to the user, that I agree with, but manufacturers want the bigger number. Also buying a hard drive for your pc is the same way, you buy a 1TB hdd you get about 950gb after formatting.

After returning 4 defective units back to back, I finally asked the Gamestop manager to swap me out for a 3DS XL and a game.

The next tablet I buy better run what ever Battlefield is relevant on ultra settings.

So sad that you swapped out an N7 for a 10 year olds toy.

No, the sad thing is people are having to swap out devices back to back to back to get their money's worth.....so it's understandable that one might want to just swap it for something that will make them happy.
[Nexus 7 General] dtblair24:
I am still satisfied. The size is perfect and so easy to handle. I have an HP touchpad (running android of course) and "the new iPad" and I use this one the most. I have not had the pleasure of owning a high end 10" android tablet but I am sure I would still use my nexus 7 more. For the money I am pleased. I don't experience any of the build quality issues but I do notice some lagging and slowdowns from time to time. That is the most disappointing thing I have noticed.

Had mine since Launch, still love it and use it pretty much every day. Great device to kick back and browse the web, watch movies (Netflix and Plex for me), some basic work, etc; I've used it more in a couple months than I used my Galaxy 10.1 in a year.

Bought a case with the magnet on/off, love that too.
[Nexus 7 General] sutepm:
Got it on the launch day, and rooted soon after. Very happy & no issues at all.

Very happy with my nexus 7. Seriously, i can't put it down. Had a bad screen on device 1, second one came in flawless. They are tough too i dropped a hatchet on my screen from 4 feet and didn't even faze it.

[Nexus 7 General] 1215kids:
I've had several tablets including Thrive, Archos 8G, iPad 2, New iPad, Kindle 7 HD, others plus Moto Xoom since 2/2011. The only tablet I have left, other than N7 is the Xoom. I forsake all the tablets for the Xoom until I got the N7. The N7 is my goto tablet now. The form factor is the key. It's easy to handle and the performance is super.

So yes, I would definitely recommend.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Let me get this straight, you dropped a HATCHET on your N7?

Like a Hatchet? :

And it did nothing?

I smell bullpoo.
[Nexus 7 General] sandipg:
Got the Nexus on launch day. My first tablet and glad held on until Google released their one. Use it everyday and loving it. I've left my one as standard for now but looking to root it soon.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Maybe a foam hatchet :p

But yea... a metal object with the mass of a standard hatchet being dropped from 4 feet onto the Nexus 7, from any angle, should of caused some kind of damage
[Nexus 7 General] ticktak:
yup, still going strong. Just had a horrible experience with Google customer service, but that's for another thread.
[Nexus 7 General] greatgoogly:
Still no working WPA Enterprise Wireless

Very dissappointing. Still no working WPA2 Enterprise Wireless. Unless they fix this in short order it is going to keep folks away from Android devices. Noticing more and more complaints as more devices are upgraded to Jellybean. Jellybean apparently does not work with many (if not most) WPA2 Enterprise Wireless Networks... http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34212

Trust me no reason to lie to make friends here, I dropped a hatchet from the rafters of my shed directly on my screen.

Zoom in lower left of screen tiny scratch, lower right on the silver bezel nicked must zoom in to even notice.
[Nexus 7 General] phiberoptick:
I've had mine for about a week. I do wish it had an SD slot. It is my first tablet and I love it. I plan on getting a 10" eventually, but for now it's great. Absolutely 0 issues so far. Only have 2g free out of my 16, but I've gone download crazy with it.

As of right now, I'm a happy camper! :)

Picked mine up a few days ago in Gamestop and I love it! Using my laptop / phone so rarely now because it handles everything beautifully. :)

Woah they sell these at Gamestop?!?!?! Been thinking of picking one these up and I have like $150 of unused store credit there :)
[Nexus 7 General] bungaboy:
I have had mine for about a week now. I also have an Acer Iconia A500 10" and a PlayBook 64GB.

The Nexus lacks a rear camera, good speakers and no HDMI port. It is cheaply built.

At the present the best bang for the buck is the 64GB PlayBook at $199. It has much better build quality and better features. The PlayBook does not have some big name apps like NetFlix (I never used it and never will) and Skype however.

The Playbook lets you multi-task and it bridges with your BlackBerry Phone if you use one.

I'll keep the Nexus because I got it for $188.10 plus taxes. .
[Nexus 7 General] heccubusxda:
Bought direct from Google about a month ago-absolutely in love with it. At this point you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hand.

I was at a trade show on the weekend and I took it with me, blew some people's minds - I felt like a Google evangelist.

Everybody agreed it was the perfect size, and one guy who just bought on iPad said he was going to try to return it and get an N7.

Google Now and cards felt like gimmicks on my nexus S but they're real showstoppers on this device because it's powerful enough to make good use of them, and I find myself using them more and more as time goes on.
[Nexus 7 General] dreamsforgotten:
Not trying to hi-jack but I'm off work now and can show you close ups of the damage. My work bench is about 4ft from the rafter and a box fell. When i went to place the box back up i bumped the handle of the hatchet, it rolled backwards, landed on the head on the left side of the screen, bounced and hit the side on the bezel. It even knocked the back cover loose. The hatchet was filled with red clay dirt and thus so was my screen. I thought without a doubt it was shattered. I stand by this is a tough ass device!

[Nexus 7 General] C0dy:
Well, I just got my 16 GB Nexus 7 today. I bought mine at Staples and it doesn't seem to have screen bleeding or screen lifting. I absolutely love it so far. I honestly think the size is perfect for portability and usability, plus it's handled everything I've thrown at it with absolutely no problems.
[Nexus 7 General] Eubalaena:
Loved it until the display shattered in normal use

I had a Nook Tablet (rooted) when I bought the Nexus 7. The Nook Tablet has better color fidelity on the screen, greater saturation, and less glare. The Nook Tablet is also easier to hold.

Notwithstanding the above, I loved the Nexus 7 more, mainly for Jelly Bean, which is great....until I picked it up one morning to read and the display shattered where my left thumb was resting. This has happened to numerous people. Google says absolutely that its warranty does not cover the display. I have sent it to ASUS who also says that they are not responsible for cracks in the display that appear after the unit is in the hands of the owner. I have not heard back from ASUS formally yet, but based on others' experience I expect ASUS to charge me $160 + tax and shipping to repair the display.

Had I dropped the Nexus 7 or otherwise subjected it to abuse, I could understand ASUS's position, but there was no abuse on my part, the Nexus 7 was in a hard case ever since I bought it.

I've had a KFHD for about a week. Then I got a nexus 7 a couple days and the KFHD is now going back to amazon. At the end of the day, the N7 does what I want it to do. Even on a rooted KFHD, it's still not where I want it to be. I love the sound and display on the KFHD but that's about it.

[Nexus 7 General] parker7:
I'm not that happy. Everything seemed fine, but for some reason YouTube always buffers when away from my router. I only have to go upstairs and the video's never play flawlessly. I've changed my router, my channel, you name it, i tried it. I thought it was interference from my wireless home phone etc... Today i had to admit defeat and contacted Google to send it back for a refund. I'm now considering an iPad. I just want a media device that browses and plays YouTube without problems.

This is the second Asus tablet I've had, the other being the prime. To be honest, I'm not sure I want to touch another product from them for a while. It's sad, because I don't like Apple OS that much. Android is superior. :(
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
That's just the YouTube app in general, it's garbage, nothing wrong with the nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] dreamsforgotten:
I don't know the man's situation, he may just get poor signal but YouTube buffers and my connection at home is 20 down down
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah it buffered on my captivate, buffered on my flyer, it buffers on my vivid. Sometimes it does work flawlessly, and it always will work flawlessly with hd off. Hell honestly it buffers on my 6 core phenom II powered pc with 8 gigs of ram and an Radeon 6790 gpu. Correction the app isn't garbage, YouTube is. I have 12 meg download, plenty of bandwidth.
[Nexus 7 General] parker7:
I've tried the Youtube app that comes with it, then the updates and it's not changed. It could be the app, but when I used Wifi Analyzer, the channels were much better on my SG3, than on the Nexus 7, most channels have 0 stars and channel 13 was the best i could get which at worst had 3 stars and at best 7. It would bounce around between the two.

The wifi indicator on the Nexus also jumps from max bars and down to 1 bar and I've not moved from the spot. I'm not getting a stable WIfi signal from what I can tell. This only happening to the Nexus 7 and nothing else on my Wifi. I can only presume the Nexus has a fault or doesn't react well to other Wifi broadcasts. The app itself is fine on my SG3 and my wifes SG2. No buffering whatsoever on those.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
KFHD has dual band and it still spazzes out when using Youtube. It's just their crappy service, I have buffer problems on my wired i7 pc also but when youtube actually works, it can be good.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah my Phenom II setup, also wired with buffering issues
[Nexus 7 General] 573W1E:
Yeah, the YouTube app will buffer fine mostly and sometimes take a long time just to buffer a couple of seconds...
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
Actualy, glass can flex. Not much, but can. The new kind.

There are many reasons to explain wifi signal droping that way. Since closing doors to neighbours wireless telephone. You could have a defective unit as well, just make a try on a diferent place.

[Nexus 7 General] mindtrigger:
Loving mine still. I have an iPad 3 that I use around the house most of the time, but my N7 is what I use outside the house for work and play. I'd say that I am using both devices pretty evenly at this point, and I've never gone from my iPad 3 to my N7 thinking the N7 seems cheap. In fact, I find my iPad to be a bit of a brick, especially laying in bed at night reading. Frankly I don't like taking it out of the house due to the size/weight, and the investment of around $700. The N7 is a great portable device.

Unless I specifically need a Windows machine for my IT work for some reason, I've been using the N7 as a replacement for my netbook at work. I use the netbook mostly for on-the-fly research, downloading and network diagnostics. The network tools for the N7 work great, I can download and move files around, and I love slipping it into my pocket.
[Nexus 7 General] nlaplante:
Bought it late august and loving it as much as day 1. It's been rooted since and given some CM10 love though. The only "gripe" I have with it (and I'd do with any other android tablet) is that many applications are still made for phone-sized devices so they show up a bit akward sometimes on the 7" display.

I love it, but the speaker started making cracking sounds when sound is played on them.. C70 Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Flukester69:
I'm thinking there is bugs in the sound driver and thus the weirdness. I haven't checked Google to see if anyone has opened an issue about it because it doesn't consistently happen.

As for owning my Nexus 7, I love it, works great and it's the perfect size. I was going to get a Transformer Prime before I got my Nexus 7 but this Nexus 7 already has sufficient power to do pretty much everything. My only negative is there is no expansion slot for more memory but then why do I need a million games installed? If I get into memory crunch time I will uninstall those I don't play and at any other time restore with Titanium. Been great, recommend it to anyone looking for a fast and well designed tablet.

[Nexus 7 General] warmonked:
No, I would not recommend it. I understand every device launch has a few troubles that may take a while to smooth out, but my entire experience has been so remarkably poor, I would not recommend the Nexus 7 to anyone. I had troubles with my first purchase device having screen lift. I then had trouble with my RMA process. My replacement never came after sending the original back, and every CSR I talked to had no answer. I finally caved and just purchased another one at a local store, and this one now has a screen lift AND the a glowing spot at the bottom due to bleed through.

edit: oh, my second unit is now showing stuck pixels. nice!
[Nexus 7 General] n3wDaddy77:
I just love my N7! I take it everywhere I go. It's incredibly light, easy to carry and whip out of my pocket whenever I want to consume media or be productive.

I've read posts where people have had issues with their units, but I've never had any.

The only qualm I have is the lack of 3rd-party accessories being developed for the device. It's hard to find decent cases that aren't e-reader style cases with cheesy elastics to keep the unit in place. Even the Kindle Fire HD had some offerings by quality mfgs within a week of its announcement and no equivalent offerings for the N7. :confused:

Still, despite this, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I'd gladly recommend it!
