Yeah I'm still completely content with mine, and haven't had any major problems with the unit itself
[Nexus 7 General] Jeff_in_LA:
Yes! I ran into the 80% memory full bug and had to factory reset. I flashed a custom rom and it's been great.

I like it a lot, but I have to say the iPad (my gf has one) is simply better. And I am a big Apple hater for years.
[Nexus 7 General] laapsaap:
I am apple and android user, I still haven't replaced my I phone but definitely prefer nexus 7 over my ipad ²! And for this price, it's hard to beat. I don't mind 16gb without sdcard but for this size a back camera makes more sense than those big ipads. And 3g version should have been a nobrainer.
[Nexus 7 General] Bungle9876:
Love it I'm using it right now! Lil Bro and the Mrs want one now!
[Nexus 7 General] scandalousk:
Couldn't be more happy! Best purchase of the year as far as I'm concerned! Would have been nice if it came with a sdcard expansion slot, but a OTG-cable combined with a usb stick/hard drive is perfectly fine as well.
[Nexus 7 General] grievous2004:
why shouldn't I be happy with my precious?:p
[Nexus 7 General] Platinum1986:
yes of course, i'm still happy it's my first tablet and jb is so responsive !! its great to have a computer which fits into my hand. :cool:
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
!

Screen is nice, but I'm not that impressed with it.

Maybe because I got used to my SGS2 with the SAmoled+ panel, which is imo miles ahead of the washed out IPS screens with high response times.[/QUOTE]

And you think you would get a 7inch SAmoled screen for £200?
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I'm still puzzled as to why Sammy hasn't released a gtab with a super amoled panel yet. That being said I assure you that the nexus screen is capable of more with proper calibration. Colors were gorgeous on my flyer with a lower resolution than the nexus. I'm assuming it'll get an ota eventually that will fix it
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
6 weeks in, and don't I think I will keep it. I brought 2 Nexus 7 (8 & 16GB)

Soon as I find a replacement, I will sell one off the Nexus 7.

I will be kept one for xmbc remote and controlling other stuff around the house.

For me it's missing too many features from original spec (blame Google)
[Nexus 7 General] MoonDogg98:
Love my nexus 7.... this is my second one because the first one blew a speaker... but still love it
[Nexus 7 General] HoochieCoo:
Absolutely love it! The size is perfect and I prefer it over my phone when WiFi is available. I use it for hours a day. I've had few problems with either the hardware or apps. Works great connected to my work Exchange server. I picked up a Supcase case with a magnetic cover from Amazon which is pretty good (its harder to pull down the Notifications because of the case, so I bought the GMD Gesture Control app which is all around kick ass).
[Nexus 7 General] Vedrick:
I will always love it, I got my replacement tablet today, its perfect, no lift, first one had a lift on the screen, am I reading the wrong thing here, I'm looking for that c70 thing, but all I can find is a cs20,
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
Still like mine and would like to suggest an accessory that I honestly can say is quite useful: capacitive pen (stylus). I bought it on a whim not sure I would even get much out of it. I love this thing. Used with an awesome app TouchPal, ’typing’ is great. TouchPal isn't perfect but its pretty darn good. With this app the stylus is worth every penny, and has allowed me to enjoy my nexus 7 even more. !

Plus, no fingerprints :D

Apple Fanboy - Nexus 7 Lover

I have owned 2 first-gen iPads, the "new iPad" aka iPad 3, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Acer Iconia A100, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition, and finally... the Nexus 7.

I've got to say that the iPad is my favorite large tablet. It just is. Flame me now, j/k.

But I don't own an iPad. I own the Nexus 7. I love the size. I love the smoothness of Jelly Bean and Project Butter. I love customizing the crap out of it - just rooted it tonight and am trying Paranoid Android 2.0.

To anyone reading this post who is currently on the fence about the Nexus 7, just get the dang thing already. You won't regret it. Also, it's a Nexus device. This tablet will be current faster and longer than any other non-Nexus Android tablet.

Short version: yeah, I love it.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
What's missing from it you want? Just curious to know

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Yeh I am happy with mine but got a nagging feeling a screen calibration update would be sweet,,,come on Google pull our finger out of your ass
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
The nexus doesn't have a rear camera, vibration, tv out, or an sd slot. Everyone made that pretty crystal clear so imo if you bought one and were expecting those things its your own fault. For me none of that stuff mattered so no complaints there
[Nexus 7 General] LearnIIBurn:
This tablet is awesome! Can't believe what I got for 250$. Seriously just enjoy it for being a tegra 3 device with a decent enough display and a sweet version of android on it that feels amazing. Tablet is dope!
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
It will be interesting to see how the nexus7 stacks up against the new Kindle fire. The Kindle looks pretty impressive with 4g, dual band dual antenna Wi-Fi, and the Dolby sound. Still meeting the $200 price barrier, with the option to opt out of their adds for $15. I doubt it will have the quality control issues Asus has had either. Maybe I should have waited.. .....:(
[Nexus 7 General] SeaFractor:
:good:

That is exactly what you should do. Always vote with your wallet. If a product disappoints, especially if you need to replace it, buy the competitors.

At the same time, don't second guess quality controll on the competition when it hasn't yet been released. Remember, Nexus 7 review units were available before sale (special edition ones were provided at Google I/O for example). Just because the product has been in reviewers hands doesn't mean that the screen lift and easier to crack displays are non-existant on the Kindle Fire HD yet.

What I would recommend is that if you dump your Nexus 7, wait a few weeks after the Kindle Fire HD ships and watch the forums. If defects exist, the user community will report it soon enough.

Purchasing first day, or buying "pre-order" for ANY product is just not wise in todays market any longer. I still have antenna problems with my iPhone 4 even after the free "case" to prevent skin contact of the antennas. So even Apple makes mistakes, Amazon and Google certainly can as well.
[Nexus 7 General] bowedcontainer2:
I still completely love my nexus, my only complaint is the heating. Sometimes it gets super hot from like one app
[Nexus 7 General] leonbarroso:
have you tried to flash stock ROM again ? I mean , "format" your tablet ?

Toshiba Excite 7.7

Pricing	$500 (16GB), $580 (32GB)

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/18/toshiba-excite-7-7-review/

WOW !!
[Nexus 7 General] ifalldownalot:
ouch. $500+ for a 7" tablet?
[Nexus 7 General] songmeesay:
Prices already dropping though. Brandsmartusa has them for 299. Would've jumped on it but no root/Dev support whatsoever.

Still love my nexus 7, but I find myself using my gtab 7.7 more ever since paranoid android was ported and the pimp my rom tweaks have made it very, very close to the n7.
[Nexus 7 General] andymihail:
I wouldn't buy a Nexus 7 again! Will keep this one, but I hope next year to find a replacement. ASUS never again!
[Nexus 7 General] wideasleep1:
Background: Acer A100, Acer A500, Kindle Fire, Nexus 7

While short on a few features, Nexus wins hands down for pure usability and stable OS...I haven't yet had the desire to root it, which is really saying something. Have 'sold' a few to friends after they previewed mine, and I would definitely buy it again. :)
[Nexus 7 General] mario24601:
What's it missing? Just curious.
[Nexus 7 General] jedi5diah:
unbeatable out of box experience!

do take note of the apps you have installed esp using apk by checking the install from unknown sources. i once had a bad install, had to reset to rectify it.

cheers!

under dev options, set all your transition animations to 0.5 sec, it will make you feel that your tab is FLYING! lol...better than the buttery experience lol...
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
Wow, some of you guys have had really bad experiences!

My first N7 was faulty and I took it back. Don't know what model it was. Screen would go off randomly because of the brightness being low :/

Second one, which I have now has no problems so far (touch wood)

No lag problems, although every 2 weeks or so it gets wiped from a new rom install

Using Faux's 009es kernel and AOKP 29 aug nightly since they came out, for nearly 3 weeks and no slow down at all

Battery is good

Everything works, well

So I am happy, and i would buy another/the next version if i could afford it.

For people with performance issues, if you are rooted try another rom. Eos has the best performance IMO, although I haven't tried cookies and cream or rasbean. If you have a faulty device, don't root it because they might try to find excuses as to not honour your warranty in some places, as you tampered with it. But, you could always return it to stock state.

Just my 2 cents :) Thanks for reading
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
Original specs Asus ME370T - included SD Card and HDMI out until Google brought it and rename it Nexus 7 then removed those features, whilst charging us the same price.

Google are a**holes and just as bad as Apple in ripping off customers.

Now 7 tablet war starting and I will move to a new tablet when something decent is release from another manufacturer.
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
IIRC the N7 does without some of those features in order to save on production cost. If it had this, and google bumped up the price, the $199 wouldn't look as attractive. Also with a sdcard slot there wouldbt be a point in spending the extra $50 on the 16gb version

I'm happy with it, but it would have been better with hdmi to watch movies

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
what? do ur research.

Asus was gona release a 16GB for $250 and 8GB for $200 with all the features i mention until google f*** it up.

& no by removing these features google have not pass saving to the consumer instead it has increase Google's profit margin.

$50 for extra 8GB is a ripp off when you consider it cost Google extra $4 to put in 16GB.
[Nexus 7 General] mtwotheatt:
If you want something at cost then you have to make it yourself. .surely you can appreciate they want to make a profit. If it's as you say and only "$4" for an extra 8GB. .then they probably aren't making much off the 8GB buyers and are getting it back from the 16GB versions.

Google didn't mess anything up here as far as I'm concerned. Sure you may give up the HDMI, SD card. .but you're getting a tablet you know will not only get updates for years to come (see the XOOM, it's still being updated), but will have the full backing of Google in that the updates are specifically designed for this tablet, not adapted to it by ASUS etc months after a major OS release.
[Nexus 7 General] DroidDioxide:
Of course!
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
Google said one thing then did another, that's messing up in my books (also known taking the piss out of customers - normally what Apple does) .

Google isnt making much profit on 8 or 16Gb nexus 7 after shipping market etc... , revenue source is from play store and the whole point Nexus 7 was to show oems how an android tablet was supposed to be put together, only for Google to go back on their word.

As for updates i run CM10 anyway, which is months ahead of Google Stock ROM and has lots more features.

I would happily paid $50 extra for HDMI and SD Card options as originally spec but wasnt given the option.

I have already sold my 16Gb Nexus 7, will keep the 8GB as a remote.
[Nexus 7 General] sqs1shu:
I am disappointed with build quality. My pre-ordered one had bulging left side, now I got it down, but sometime when I pressed on the left edge, it gives a squeaky sound. Maybe I am imaging things, but sometime it flickers faintly in some apps (flipboard, chrome) with white background.

Last week, I went to Staples and bought 3 as gifts, one is perfect in build quality, one is ok and the other (both sides are soft, pressing on it, screen shows waves along the edge) is going back.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Man I don't think anyone who owns one can complain about the features it lacks. Plain and simple if you want those features, Galaxy Tab 2. It's an excellent tablet with all the bells and whistles, Samsung support is great for it, build quality is excellent, and development is awesome too so you can grab aosp for it easily. But if you bought the Nexus 7 you should of known better. Forget what the memo370T was supposed to be, it's been reshaped in Google's image.
[Nexus 7 General] almousawi:
The best 7 inch tablet in market
[Nexus 7 General] tkolev:
N7 is a budget device. It doesn't matter if some would want HDMI, SD card slot, radio or even built-in washing machine. You get what Google decides to put in. No more, no less. Like it or not, storage is going in the cloud (Google Drive), media "sharing" is done also through the cloud with dedicated media players connected to your TV (Nexus Q if it even makes it to the market, if not, Google will offer something else), so if you think that Google of all companies will opt out of their services just to make few $ from selling the hardware, you should think twice. N7 is made to be sold in huge numbers, not to please every customer. And the solution for that purpose is the low price. Buy the hardware at roughly the price of manufacturing and then use the services that will bring revenue to the provider.

For those that need other features - go with other OEMs. Google has no business interest in offering them.
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
I am finding that very difficult as i have been tracking it since Nov 2011 and played with one at the trade show. Hoping for release in Mar 2012, then Asus has it pencilled in for Q2/3 2012 release only for Google to cancel it and remodel to Nexus 7.

Was planning to use one with Asus dock as my HTPC running xbmc, connected to nas but i cant now as there no HDMI.

I cant deny for £200, its good value still.
[Nexus 7 General] tkolev:
Buy a Raspberry Pi. I use mine for the same purpose and it's much, MUCH cheaper than the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] Keyboard.Junkie:
Still loving it. Has been love from the first minute. Sold my other tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] angellsl:
I just returned mine c80 after 10 days. The screen lift is one reason, even though it's very minor, about a hair, also android seems not ready for its prime time as a tablet os.

Hope the next gen will be better.
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
i have one of those, it aint very good either.

My point is i am disappointed with nexus 7, did not live up to expectations. will keep an eye on the 7 tablet market and see whats new in the next coming months.
[Nexus 7 General] mrsatan:
Dude asus was going to release the 8gb for 250 and the 16gb for 300. You obviously think that Asus had some magic fairy dust to keep the pricing low.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Just buy a damn Fire HD then if you want all those features. The Nexus 7 is a great tablet for the price, sure it could have been better but you can say that about any product.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I just looked up the raspberry pi and not impressed imo. Freaking htpc with no casing and HTC Hero specs, ics probably runs like windows me on it.
[Nexus 7 General] big_mac_69:
Loving my Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] toker_X1:
I was there at the trade show asus sales were quoting 8GB @ $200 per 1000 and 16GB @ $250 per 1000, retail price was estimated @ cost + 12%.

Fire HD 7 has no SD slot either, Toshiba excite 7.7 has nice the specs AMOLED HD screen, SD Card, Tegra 3 but i am not keen on Toshiba and where they have mounted the front facing camera.

I am happy to wait for the next wave of 7 tablets leading to xmas and for now i will use my 8Gb Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
The price is great on the Rasberry Pi but I also feel that it's underpowered. Instead, I'm seriously thinking about getting ODROID-X which has the same SoC as the Galaxy Note 10.1:

Just reporting that I still am very happy with my Nexus 7. :good:

Marginal screen lift (very minor and is easily not noticed unless you do the special angle view) and all.

I'd buy another if I needed more than one :)
[Nexus 7 General] DaGr81:
its awesome..monstrous. I suggest you all to go for 16GB..for 7GB you'll get approx 5GB of space...and it will get occupied very soon. I have 16Gb and its still not sufficient. ..

anyways i got OTG as a solution i now can plugin USB drives with movies.

Happy Nexusing 7 :D

Regards,
[Nexus 7 General] brooksyx:
I've had my c70 8gb for a few days and other than the screen lift I am very happy. I do plan on gluing it down when I get some free time. I might try and exchange it though. We shall see. 8gb are pretty hard to come by in the retail world.
[Nexus 7 General] tkolev:
The poster wanted to run XBMC not Android. RaspBMC runs like magic on that thing and is perfect for media playback. If you think you can get better device for that price, please share with the rest of us. Like the N7 it's the cheapest device of it's class and with the best value / price ratio.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Have you seen the price on that thing? The Tegra3 console will be selling for $99 and for that joke they are asking more than $120?
[Nexus 7 General] saad_81:
No I'm afraid I'm not. The screen has lifted and now the wifi isn't working. It was working fine before. My phone is connected to it and so is this stupid tablet but nothing opens. Apps which require Internet don't work. Oh and after you exit certain apps the screen appears dull and washed out. It gets worse as each day passes :(

[Nexus 7 General] odroido:
Got mine about two weeks ago and absolutely love it. I can't put it down. Sold my transformer prime and have no regrets at all.

BTW just minor screen lift and even though I just got it it's a C6O.

It's a real nice bit of tech

Really love Jelly Bean and the quad core CPU... Makes it run so smooth can't wait more games / apps come out for this table

I love my nexus 7... I'm so glad I bought it, its super fast over clocked at 1.7MHz no problems with heat or screen I also bought an adapter to connect a USB flash drive and keyboard and mouse so its amazing.
[Nexus 7 General] endingcolt007:
At the price point you can never go wrong with this device, everything about this device is worth every single penny! My main PC just broke down and am currently using an outdated netbook. The nexus 7 compared to the netbook is so much faster and fun to use. Personally i wish they had included a few more things like a rear camera and 3g but i do not regret buying the nexus 7 one bit. It is just a fun and awesome device. Way worth more than anything apple has ever sold. Apple products look overrated and overpriced in comparison to this bad boy!
[Nexus 7 General] WookieFan:
Yep.
[Nexus 7 General] jeffreyklassen:
Still love mine. I use it for internet, email, reading and gaming and its awesome. I still use my other larger tablet for video because it has 5ghz wireless and can playback HD from a network share without transcoding.

It has not been prefect I did have the loose screen issue which a tiny bit of super glue fixed as well as a weird screen glitch that seems to happen for a few seconds like once a day. If it gets worse I may have to RMA this unit but as it is I am not bothered.

I bought mine to replace a lost Nook Color. I use mine as 70% ereader, 20% browse the web, and 10% games.

[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Its funny when people think that Tegra 3 is better than A5x :)

The number of cores does not matter. How many Tegra 3 optimized games are currently available? The only games which shows good graphics on Tegra 3 are dead trigger and dark meadow. Dark meadow as a game sucks but graphics are great. The best graphics game on Tegra 3 would be blade slinger and the damn thing is in product since last one year and still there is no set date. When nvision team asked the developers about release date they said it would be released when its done. They don't seems so serious about it and there is no sense of urgency. I have Zynga would the partner on that game which means lot of IAP which is already spoiling the fun. I hate Zynga and I wish their bad run continues and they go out of business soon.

[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
I still love mine. I have an ipad, ipad 2, and asus transformer prime along with my nexus 7. So I think it's an educated answer to say that I'm very happy with it since I have a lot of past experience.

At this price point the one big problem I have is I want to use them two at a time but I just don't have the coordination to think and type on two tablets at the same time.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
I've used the iPad3 and can say that its GPU suck in comparison to Tegra3. A5X is only good for useless synthetic benchmarks but when it comes to real 3D gaming graphics and effects the Tegra3 is not only smoother but looks significantly better.
