[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booooo201:
It won't even turn on. Let' say I leave it plugged to the stock wall charge, after about an hour, it'll turn on, boot into CM9, and then shutdown. Some times it goes to the FFF screen saying "Charging low battery, please wait". I did talk to Amazon over the phone, they're sending me a brand new KF free of charge. They don't know I voided the warranty on it :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radar5:
I've been having issues with my battery holding a charge (stock except for a temp root to instal gapps). I contacted email support and they said to call in, soundsl ike they might replace it. Do you know if you're getting a new version? I'm assuming so since I think they stopped building the old version. I'm wondering if they'll let me pay the difference for an HD upgrade.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
When you get it to turn on and you see the Kindle Fire screen, hold the power button until "recovery" is selected at the bottom. When booted into recovery, let it charge there. You'll be able to see your battery's percentage from there.

Do not send the old Kindle back to Amazon. Shady moves like that screw it up for everyone. Take the KFHD for example. There is a device with so much potential but it has been crippled, assuredly because of ridiculous amount of people who have broken their devices (due to their own actions) and sent them back under the guise of being under warranty.

It's just bad practice IMO.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
I sincerely apologize if this is not posted in the correct location or if such a request is out of line. The only reason I am posting about this is because I believe that there would be a fair amount of people who would be interested.

I've installed many ROMs since I got my Galaxy Nexus on release day last year, but I have always come back to AOKP because every other ROM I've installed was missing at least one feature of AOKP that I use. Recently however I started playing with DPI settings and I'm in love with 240. I like the tablet layout of most apps, but certain ones, like the phone app look a little strange. Also, some apps, like the Navigon navigation app are next to impossible to use at this DPI. Naturally, I immediately flashed Paranoid Android so that I could get the per-app control of DPI. That lasted all of about 10 minutes, because I immediately noticed it was missing far too many features.

So basically I'm looking to see if there's a dev out there who can kang the Paranoid Settings to AOKP. Maybe if there's enough interest from other people who would like this I could set up a pool for donations. I know there's a couple ROMs floating around that are AOKP based Paranoid rather than CM based, but they are for other devices.

Eventually I'm going to try to do this myself if no one else is willing/able, however between being in school full time and my two jobs I probably wouldn't be able to start teaching myself until about May. Plus, my laptop is about 6 years old and I'm afraid it will be an extremely slow process.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anastatow:
This!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
So far it seems like I've found three ROMs for other devices that combine PA and AOKP. King Kang for the Galaxy Note (which I think is still on ICS), PACman mostly on Sony devices as far as I could tell (PA/AOKP/CM), and Disarmed Toaster on some HTC phones. It's definitely possible and I imagine it would be quite popular...we just need to get a dev with a GNex to see the benefits!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Why don't you go to the AOKP thread and request the dev do so? Better to post there than here anyway. Don't get your hopes up though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
As far as I know they're still not interested in hearing feature requests unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I'm sure CM will become more of a beast with each update, and PA uses it as its base. Already highly customizable. I'm not even sure what the benefit of using AOKP as a base would be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prerav31:
Love this idea I thought about something similar 2 weeks ago when I flashed CNA on my Gnex. I know there to different development teams but I would love to see a Code Name Paranoid ROM that ROM would kick azz but that just opinion but +1 to this idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
The benefit of using AOKP as a base would be that there are a lot of very useful features in AOKP that aren't in CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slow88lx:
I thought AOKP already had a tablet mode? But I haven't wanted to leave PA yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
It does. PA isn't about tablet mode, its about being able to control each app individually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
no, its has build.prop dpi and a sysUI hack.

honestly, i think people are not fair with cyanogenmod. cm is a great rom and has tons of features. yes you cant color your buttons pink other than using theming engine, but my goodness is that really such a strongpoint? toys will sure come aswell.

i have seen these mixups btw, paranoid + cm + aokp. it pains me. i wont interfere but man, this is crazy. one rom i have seen has four toggle implementations, two from cm, one from us, one from aokp, it mixes paprefs with aokps dpi changer and a non-standard build.prop dpi, etc. its a complete mess and sometimes i wish i wish they'd just kang hybrid engine without bringing our name into it lol. :silly:

the reason its not easily ported to other roms is that its complicated. its literally spanning all over android, framework, core, policy, res, graphics, parts of sysUI rewritten from scratch, androids layout definitions were changed, apps had to be adjusted - and then the hybrid engine itself of course. its not a simple "git fetch" and you got it, it grew over half a year, hundreds of commits, reverts and pushes.

what really matters is what's more important to you. a pink button or a completely renewed phone with functions it never had before. you know, we're developers, too. you might aswell request someone should bring over missing features to cm/pa, its getting a little bit discouraging to see the focus in all devcommunities is often on kanging instead of developing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
VERY well said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
Thank you for chiming in!

I would be glad to put the little extra effort into using ZipThemer to change the NavBar buttons/colors in exchange for having ParanoidPreferences. CM however is missing a lot of things that I haven't been able to find any other way of accomplishing other than using a ROM with the features built in. Let me provide thorough specifics. I don't know how familiar you are with AOKP Rom Control, and obviously this is all personal to me, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt. There's nothing in General UI, Lockscreen, Power Menu, Clock, Signal, Sound, Weather, Vibrations, or Performance that I use. The Navigation Bar section however is a lot better. Not because of color/icon selection but because of the longpress settings and because of the NavBar Ring Targets. Neither of those are things I could find a way to replicate in CM/PA, and both have proven to be extremely useful. Also, I like the ability to set NavBar height separate from status bar DPI...this may have been in PA but I missed it. In terms of Battery; I use the battery bar, and hide the icon in the status bar. I know there's an app with similar functionality, however it doesn't work the same. As far as I could tell Toggles were pretty much the same. For LED, I don't use any of the settings other than being able to have the LED flash with the screen on. This, to me, is a necessity.

I agree 100% that the PA/AOKP/CM combinations are a bit ridiculous. (If you notice in the OP, I was looking for someone to add ParanoidPreferences into AOKP, not combine the ROMs). If I had the time/ability to do it myself, I would remove the DPI, tablet mode, and dual panel options from ROM control and just add ParanoidPreferences.

As I said, I would gladly give up some "convenience" features of AOKP, but some of the actual functionality I can't do without at this point. I did post a couple feature requests in the PA forum, but I'm very hesitant to do so. You have done amazing work, and I always feel that by requesting more features I would be minimizing all the hard work the devs have done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshuajones:
I don't know if this will ever happen, but I agree.. I LOVE aokp and the fact that it has basic tablet mode, but I had to stop using it because a holistic "tablet button" isn't quite usable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
You said cm is missing a lot of things, but in the midst of your lengthy paragraph was only two or three small tweaks. No ROM can make everyone one hundred percent happy, but it sounds like PA has 99 percent of what you need.... am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claytonjn:
I don't recall saying CM is missing a lot of things, but if I did than I apologize. In the OP at least I said this:

It's not about the amount of features, it's about weighing the importance of features. I guess in my mind I thought it would be easier to add ParanoidPreferences to AOKP rather than the other way around. Mostly, as I said, because the PA developers are busy with their own thing and don't need a bunch of people asking for new features. If those couple features could be added to PA that would be much preferred.
[Nexus 7 General] steve1time:
Bump this thread if you regret purchasing the goole nexus 7. after reading all the faults people have been having i would not have got mine thats for sure.
[Nexus 7 General] ÜBER™:
Nope. I have a screen lift but I love it to death. There is no other 7" tablet in its class. In its price range with such hardware. Its a shame its got so many issues but I don't care I can always fix it.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
I don't really regret it. It's an awesome little tablet, and I love the size of it.

I have a problem which is pissing me off A LOT - but it's not a hardware one, although I can't find a solution.

I can't get true multitasking. Chrome (and every other browser) keep reloading my tabs, for instance, wasting time and bandwidth, and apps keep losing my progress. It's really lame.

Tried all those RAM managers, V6 Supercharger, etc. Nothing helped.

Sounds silly, but it's really ruining the experience for me.
[Nexus 7 General] shakerist:
I knew full well that some models developed screen problems creaking, lifting, bleeding, speaker problems etc... HOWEVER all devices can faults of some sort, I got my nexus today (c90) currently choosing a rom and im loving it. I have checked for screen problems and speaker problems, if I came across any problem I would have returned it and got another one.

At the end of the day its a great device, if you regret buying it, second hand nexus 7's are holding their value well and are selling just a little under RRP sell yours and buy an iPad ... Oh wait some ipads suffer from wifi , screen and overheating problems.

:S
[Nexus 7 General] RMerlin:
My personal opinion is that some people are just being overly picky. They expect their 200$ tablet to have the same image quality as a 500$ Transformer Infinity. Asus might have taken a few tradeoffs to get this tablet at such a good price, but it's still a much better tablet than all the other products that used to sell within that same price range. The screen quality for instance (which some people are unhappy with) is miles ahead of my Xoom's screen.

Also keep in mind that happy users don't often post on forums. There is more apparent people having issues with their N7 because that device sold like hot cakes. Bottom line, I suspect the ratio of issue/fine tablets isn't that much worse than other products in the same price range.
[Nexus 7 General] simacca:
Loving mine (c80). Knew about all the problems before I got it, but took the risk anyway. I got lucky. No problems here :thumbup:
[Nexus 7 General] noobletsausecakebbq:
Considering that the next thing for $200 would be a tablet made by a Chinese dude in his basement, Nexus 7 is a great device
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
are you using a custom launcher and an over abundance of widgets? im using the android browser(aosp, not chrome) with the stock launcher, and o havent had one browser reload on my n7 ever. it sounds like you have something seriously draining your ram. do you use any fkasable mods/themes? a bloated custom rom maybe?

Regret it? Hell no and I already read about all the issues. Took the chance and mine is fine. What I regret is buying that $500 under performing, lagging in portrait mode, barely supported Galaxy Tab 10.1 that is sitting on my shelf. I don't regret a $250 tablet that runs circles around that one all day long.. And it's actually supported

[Nexus 7 General] JesseMT4G:
Only had mine a day and love it to death!

I haven't had any issues....yet. Hoping If I do its with in 15 days so I can return and exchange for another one.

Coming from the 1st Fire, this thing runs circles around it.
[Nexus 7 General] T-Keith:
I think if you read the forums for every device you want to buy (that's been out for a while) you will have a hard time finding one to buy. Forums like this are a magnet for people with problems and people here seem especially picky. It may seem like doom and gloom around here because the people without problems don't post or don't come here.

I'm not saying the nexus 7 is without flaws, but you're not getting an accurate picture here.
[Nexus 7 General] Mechanio:
This thread is identical in every salient respect to travelling to a distant country, walking into a hospital, and asking "what the hell is wrong with this country? Everyone here is wounded or sick or dying". A little perspective would reveal that the patients in a hospital are not a representative sample of the larger community, and therefore not indicative of how well others are doing outside the hospital walls.

The XDA forums cover dozens of devices and development platforms. Each of those has various forums, and it is usually the _(device)_ General forum that houses the complaints. Nexus 7 General - the forum you are reading now - isn't even one of the most active 'General' forums, and the majority of posts here aren't about problems that would affect a purchasing decision. But when someone has a problem with their Nexus 7, they do a Google search and XDA is almost always the top hit (much like 'AAA Taxi' was often the busiest taxi company in big cities back in the Yellow Pages days) so the number of people with problems is much higher here than it is elsewhere. Let's look at some numbers:

Nexus 7's sold: ~3-5 million

Total number of threads in Nexus 7 General: 1335

Total number of posts in Nexus 7 General: 57242

So let's assume the worst-case scenario: only 3 million N7's have been sold, and every single post here was made by unique owners of faulty devices. That would represent a ~2% failure rate.

But the actual sales numbers are between 3 and 5 million... let's call it 4 million. And looking over the first 10 pages of threads, I'll be generous and say that 20% of the threads are about actual problems in the N7 (and not, say,someone who simply didn't bother reading the manual, or who just wants to complain that their $200 N7 doesn't do everything their $700 iPad does... the actual number is closer to 10%, but I don't want to bias this in favor of my point so I'll call it 20%). Also looking over the first ten pages of threads, it is apparent that some members join in on any thread dissing the N7, so the number of posts doesn't actually represent the same number of unique people having problems... again being generous I will say 20% of the people who post here - the real number is nowhere near that high, probably in the single digits - have critical purchase-decision-level problems. That would represent a ~0.2% failure rate.

But, as mentioned before, the majority of people who are perfectly happy with their N7s, who don't have problems and don't want to change their ROMs, don't end up here at all. It's the people who google 'Nexus 7 problems' that end up here, so the population has a pretty strong bias. Even just taking into account the biases I pointed out above, the N7 has no more (and possibly no less) problems than any other device.

But it sure has its share of drama-queens *****ing about it.

Music

Casual gaming

Browsing

Emailing

Texting (when at home)

It's all done on my N7.

Hell, my One X has been relegated to phone calls only when I have this with me.

Great device for the price.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
You probably shouldn't buy technology if that's the case. Every manufacturer has problems with every device and if there is a forum for that device you will find people complaining.
[Nexus 7 General] Switchbitch:
Your logic is so wrong that I don't know where to start. We have established in other threads that the vast majority of Nexus 7s are faulty. There is virtually no evidence of faultless units, but plenty of evidence of faulty ones. Your numbers also assume everyone with a faulty unit notices the fault, then posts about it on XDA which is clearly false. In fact the people bothering to register on a forum to voice their complaints is likely a tiny fraction of those owners with faulty units.

I have had 7 units and they have all been faulty, I literally have not seen a faultless one. Let's do a little math with your optimistic estimate of a 0.2% failure rate. The first unit I bought, I could expect a 0.2 in 100 chance of getting a faulty one, or 1 in 500. The chance of the replacement for the first faulty unit also being faulty is therefore 1 in 500^2 which is 1 in 250,000. The chance of getting 7 faulty units in a row at a fault rate of 0.2% is 1in 500^7, or 1 in 78,125,000,000,000,000,000,000. Seem a bit unlikely?

There are multiple people here who have had multiple faulty units. With a 0.2% fault rate, you can clearly see that the odds simply don't allow this. It's identical in every salient respect to travelling to a distant country and contracting malaria, AIDS, cancer, typhoid and bird flu while being hit by a bus and struck by lightning.

And yes, screen lift IS a fault.
[Nexus 7 General] CHollman82:
This is meaningless as these hardware faults occur in batches during the production process... without knowing how returns/exchanges work internally you have no way to tell your actual probability. A local store may have received a shipment of 100 of these from the same batch and they are all faulty, so you buy from that store and keep exchanging at that store and keep getting faulty units.... that tells you NOTHING about the overall rate of fault.

My C70 has minor screen lift and that's all. I would agree with you that most early units probably have this problem.
[Nexus 7 General] monkor:
I have two and they're both well oiled machines. For that price? I have a perfect tablet that was an insane upgrade from my Nook Color. The only thing I regret is expecting NFC to be even remotely useful.
[Nexus 7 General] spacepanda:
Lol op is funny. Every one of know loves it, it's a steal
[Nexus 7 General] Switchbitch:
Also not correct, also covered in other threads. Fault exists in C5, C6, C7, C8 and C9 units, that's 5 months of crappy design. Mine were bought from multiple outlets between July and September. You then go on to admit yours also has the fault.

They are basically ALL faulty. They ALL have the exact same flawed design.
[Nexus 7 General] warmonked:
Yea... I totally agree with switchbitch. I've also not seen a faultless unit. And screen lift IS a fault.

I don't agree with the "it's only $200" excuse. I don't think it's ridiculous to expect a $200 product to not be broken.

I'm disappointed and I'm just going to wait for the next nexus tablet or the ipad mini.
[Nexus 7 General] george241312:
Mine is a c60 and has no flaws what so ever .. no lift no dead pixel good battery idk what else can go wrong ...

You are a pretty thoughtful person, that's for sure :good:

"reading about all the faults.". Who cares? Have you ran into them? It's a good tablet.Some people have unrealistic expectations and will always complain.

[Nexus 7 General] reuthermonkey:
People ***** and moan to fcking much.

Seriously.

Forums are for people to whine on. People who are happy with their devices don't make threads every day about how we like our devices. Frankly most of us stick to the Dev subforums because the General forums are filled with bullsh.

If the N7 works for you, GREAT! If it doesn't, return it on its own merits. But just because Idiot McDouche complains about the N7 having no back-facing camera or not having a Mali GPU or not having cellular data doesn't mean the rest of us agree. In fact, most of us (truly, compare the view counts vs the post counts) are reading the posts and rolling our eyes at the stupidity and moving on to more productive threads.
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
Your assumption that virtually every device is faulty, is based mainly (I assume) on the 'screen lift' phenomenon?

For the majority, 'screen lift', even if present (by the definition you use), has no effect on function, has no detrimental end-point and has an absolutely miniscule aesthetic impact.

Perhaps your very strict definition of 'faulty' has led to you experience 7 'faulty' units. :confused: I have seen 3 units and none have perceptible build problems.
[Nexus 7 General] Switchbitch:
An XDA member took a pic of his minor screen lift and sent it to Google. Google said 'that's faulty' and replaced it.

As an aside, all 7 units I owned had problems in addition to screen lift such as dead pixels, LCD mura, backlight bleed etc. I'm amazed people are still in denial about all the faults.

The display of the nexus 7 is really not good.

Green, Yellow and white colors do not look accurate at all.

Hopefully Google (can) fix that problem with a firmware update...
