Even though I am somewhat happy with the 16gb, I had to send in two defective devices before I received a good one, and this is kind of a slap in the face. Some sort of compensation would be nice, and I don't think the free $25 Play credit offsets the price change, especially since Google forced me to pay $20 for two day shipping...
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
If I have a 16GB on layaway from Walmart, and then they reduce the price to $199, what happens to me?

My total plus tax will be $278 when I pay it off.

Can I get them to give it to me at that price?
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
From what I remember, they will give you the price adjustment if it's still on layaway. When you go make a payment and the price has dropped, just double check with them.
[Nexus 7 General] thcaddict:
I'm sure they would
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
So now we can't even sell our 16gb N7s without giving them away since Google devalued them.
[Nexus 7 General] Turbotab:
Ebay users seem to have plenty of morons among them. I've seen Lumia 710 and 800 going for more than the cheapest new deals. I'm tracking a used 8GB Nexus that has 4 hours to go and is currently at £125, time it sells it will be probably be over £140, add on the £8.75 postage and you've over £150 for a device that has no warranty / cannot be returned to the seller, and is £168 brand new. Of course, usual ebay downside as a seller that relieve you of 10%~ of the sell price.
[Nexus 7 General] boufa:
Google did nothing to you. I'm sorry, but I am tired of hearing the whining. Technology moves pretty fast, if you stop to look around it may(will) pass you by.

They did not deactivate your device, they did not put it on end of life and refuse to support it, or stop updates, they did not take anything from you, except your future resale value. Honestly, on electronics like this, they are not an investment for the future value. They were going to be devalued in the next month or 2. The new Acer devalued it somewhat. The iPad mini devalued it a little.

I'm just glad I am in the know enough to wait a week for it. I figured on running out for an early 32gb version. The 8 was out of the question... since it looks like they are dumping the 8, then I just saved $50.
[Nexus 7 General] Haizum74:
What pisses me off is the whinging that people do when they are in such a rush to buy a product that when a company then reduces its price or brings out something else they complain as though they have been hard done by.

Dude, you bought the damn thing at the time you wanted to. You have sod all to complain about. As for compo, are you effing nuts? You made your choice, deal with it and suck it up with the rest of em, complaining like school girls.
[Nexus 7 General] magius:
It seems to me that this is a move to compete better with the iPad mini and the Fire HD, not something they planned since the Nexus 7 launch. Google is not only cutting the 8GB model but lowering their profit margin in order to show up as the better deal. It is competition as it's best, just sell your Nexus and get the new one if you are so inclined. I know I will.

Word of warning however, there will be an even better one come next year. Just the way things are. :)
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Not everyone is an early adopter. The people that purchased around the ~30 day time frame are the ones getting the shaft. The rumors weren't even swirling yet. Of course I'm going to be annoyed when my credit card bill isn't even due yet and the model gets replaced by something even better.

However I'm going took just have to chin up and take it. I can't afford to sell it at a loss. Not to mention mine was perfect out of the box and I slightly feel bad to part with it if I had to. People will continue to whine until they come to grips with reality. It's part of the healing process.
[Nexus 7 General] thatnoob:
While I agree that this sucks and that I will have to deal with it, it sucks that the 16GB I have had for less than 40 days is being replaced with a model that would have been a much preferred fit for me. It's not about the money, it's about having a device that fits my needs. And because of the unusually fast turn around for a new model, a lot of people feel cheated. It would be one thing to have a 32GB and have the price drop, but this is different.
[Nexus 7 General] starskyrob:
Price of being an early adopter. I'm more than satisfied with my 199 8gb
[Nexus 7 General] G.Goret:
The build date of the leaked models is early September. So maybe they had not planned it in July yet, but when this was released in non-UK Europe it was most definitely in their plans already - they did launch the 8GB and 16GB down there, knowing pretty well they'd replace them less than 2 months later. Not even speaking about Eastern Asia... the new model was already in their hangars when they launched the 8GB and 16GB...

The margin reduction isn't that huge. Memory components don't cost that much, the difference between 8GB and 16GB is a few bucks at most. And even 32GB isn't really that expensive.

But due to the announcement, the resell value of the 16GB will be dropping a further $50 / €50 as well. At the end, getting a 32GB model means taking a loss of $100 / €100, probably (I'd expect used 16GB models to sell at $150 / €150 in the best case).

Of course, loss of value was to be expected. But not even 1-2 months after launch in some countries?
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
Looks like I won't be getting around $200 for my 8 GB then :-\
[Nexus 7 General] superflysocal:
exactly, if you keep wanting to wait, there is always something better and cheaper around the corner, but you will end up never owning a tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] noobandriod:
My 16GB is good enough for me for my purpose. Here is the reason why:

1. I only use it to browse the web, check email, watch Youtube & Movies, and occasionally use the GPS. Nothing really productive can done with this device because the screen is too small and there is no the apps to do so. The office apps on the tablets are so bare-bone.

2. The games are crap and is pointless loading the device full of it. Yes, I loaded my N7 full of games but I rarely play it because the games lack depth compared to console or computer games and it gets old pretty fast.

3. I don't really listen to music with it because the DAC and speaker suck. Don't even get me started on the external DAC via USB. It's a very annoying. Also I already have a dedicated portable player that sounds 10x better than N7, there is no point in using this just because it has touch screen and I paid $250.

I have to admit I spend a lot time rooting, updating roms, and kernels.

If I could do it again would buy this device? No, because while this device is a budget tablet and mine N7 was decent, I feel there is way to many quality issues. I won't be buying anything Asus in the future even if it's cheaper.
[Nexus 7 General] miketoasty:
All new devices have issues, if you think it's an Asus problem then you are sadly mistaken. Had to replace both my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and my HTC Thunderbolt multiple times due to quality issues.
[Nexus 7 General] PiaFraus:
Same. Have not even received it yet. But we are good, I think. Two weeks to change our minds. Just have to keep the box.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
I just find it funny that they were all 'you don't need more storage, because the cloud**!', and here they are upgrading the storage a couple of months later because it is embarrassing compared to the competition.

**available only in the US
[Nexus 7 General] uansari1:
If it didn't fit your needs, why'd you buy it?
[Nexus 7 General] ericdjobs:
Honestly, with 16gb storage on board, a 32gb flash drive here and there with OTG, and unlimited data from t-mobile which clocks in at a constant 10-20 Mbps (pretty much everywhere I go) that only costs $30/month (they say no tethering.. but I really doubt they can tell the difference between an android phone and a tablet, as long as I'm careful with UA strings.. even then, I can say I use desktop sites a lot, haha) there honestly isn't much of a need for much more storage. Don't get me wrong, I purchased a 16gb from Staples on the 12th, and I'll be returning it on the 26th (right at day 14 :P) to pick up a 32gb version on the 29th.. same price :P I can't really see any reason NOT to, plus this c90k that I have is suffering from very minor screen lift (barely noticeable, honestly) but still :P same price! And only 3 days without my baby, so I think I can make it.

Just saying, though, if someone has unlimited data, the cloud really is a good alternative. I have a 25gb dropbox (thank you free adwords $100 credit :P max referrals in one adwords campaign, hah., +3gb HTC Sense promo, +3gb Camera upload) and a 50gb box.com account (the LG trick where you edit your build.prop and log in to your account ,posted here on XDA somewhere), google music, services like spotify....

But yeah, I'm still definitely returning my 16gb :P I would honestly feel pretty cheated if I didn't because I practically just bought it, so I completely understand. I know the feeling isn't really justified , but it's human.

As a side note, does anyone know if you're able to flash a nandroid backup from one nexus to another? I'm really kind of irritated that I can't customize to my heart's content knowing that I'm just going to lose it all when I return it! I'd probably lose it all flashing another ROM sometime, anyhow, lol.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Cloud is good if you have a connection, it is useless if you don't.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
At Eric jobs you could a adb back up. That gets everything
[Nexus 7 General] jdog2115:
There is quite a difference. The manufacturing cost between the two is $7.50. The manufacturing cost of an 8gb is $159.25 and 16gb is $166.75.

[Nexus 7 General] thatnoob:
I bought it because it was the best fit for my needs and is a great product. I would have just waited an extra month had I known there was going to be a change to the product line so shortly after the initial release as the extra memory would be convenient and useful.
[Nexus 7 General] SeaFractor:
Progress and change, it's a given.

That said, I continue to enjoy my 8GB Nexus 7. Figure if I wait a year the octa core 128GB model will be out for the same price I paid.

But I've been enjoying what I purchased in September.

I'm kinda bummed that I could have waited another two months and picked up a 16GB model for the same price as the 8GB. But that doesn't diminish in any way the product I currently own and it's performance over an 8GB Nook Color I had prior.
[Nexus 7 General] ljesh:
Google can go to hell. This was my first Nexus device. It will be the last one too.
[Nexus 7 General] retsnom:
It feels bad. I bought this few weeks ago and maybe a week shy of return deadline. Who would've thought that I would've qualified as an "early adopter". Oh well, better get used to juggling my usb thumb drives.
[Nexus 7 General] heat361:
I think your going a bit too far there. You have had the the device for 3 months and I'm sure it has been nothing but stellar. Just remember it is Google's first time selling stuff from the play store and they are relatively new to this.
[Nexus 7 General] ljesh:
That doesn't change the fact that no device which was bought 250 euro in 3 months period loses it's value in almost a half of it's paid price.

And all of this while messing with your customers, you don't need 32GB... oooops, sorry, you do need 32GB, you in fact don't need 8GB.
[Nexus 7 General] jonhcox:
Honestly, I love my Nexus 7, if I wasn't married I'd marry it.. lol but seriously I have an 8gb model and space means nothing especially with an otg cable. I haven't ever filled the memory and this is just Googles way of messing with people. All big companies do it.. google has been selling stuff for years.. they just want to push demand.

unlocked, rooted, running liquid jellybean rc5 tablet UI.. smooth
[Nexus 7 General] ThePerson98:
The only thing I wish is that they offered a 32GB at launch. It's not like some huge upgrade that required time for prices to drop and tech to improve, it's just that they decided not to release a 32GB option on launch. I'm cool with price drops, but I would have loved to have had the option for a 32GB tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] AwesomeTurtle:
...and in my derpy state, I purchased the 16gb model yesterday.

I'll just utilize the return policy when the 32gb surfaces.
[Nexus 7 General] iJimaniac:
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but the 8gb is now listed as "coming soon" on the play store. Could this be further evidence of it being discontinued?

Hi, so does anyone know if new 8gb's are going to get reduced to bargain levels when the £199 32gb and159 ish 16gb come along?

Tempted to get one for my pa for Xmas as music player etc, tho there are tabs with jelly bean on and Bluetooth (required for my purpose) for £105 plus SD slot and Hdmi, albeit worse screen etc.

Wondered if anyone had word of a price for the remaining new 8gbs.

of course used 8gbs will be an option, as may sell mine, but who will be buying used 8's when new so cheap!

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] brooksyx:
I would imagine if you could find one out in retail it would probably marked to around $150 but good finding one. I had a hard enough time finding an 8gb at a store and the few stores that did carry them probably won't be getting any more stock soon.
[Nexus 7 General] pdubcramp:
This was my first thought. It'll be interesting to hear over the next few weeks what will be happening. It's more likely that if you RMA with an 8 at this point that you'll get a refurbished as opposed to a brand new unit. But who knows, Google does some customer friendly things on occasion.
[Nexus 7 General] bkr32:
not really

personally i want to also get the nexus 7 however the 8 gb model is out and according to rumors google want to release a 99$ nexus 7 which might as well be the 8 gb version with a few downgrades and since the 32gb model is coming in at 249$ the 16 gb might as well drop to 199$
[Nexus 7 General] pdubcramp:
RMA an 8 gb?

So, it's been several weeks since the 8 gig was removed from the Play Store. Has anyone attempted to return/exchange their 8 gig and if so, what was your experience? Are they refurbing the 8 gb models now?

The left side of my screen is squishy due to screen lift and I've been going back and forth about RMAing it for the past month or so. I pre-ordered the day they were announced.

[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
Without searching deep into the Mobile Odin thread myself...As i see it, the problem u r running into is that the Mobile Odin does not/will not flash the Pit file and therefore cannot repartition ur phone from the Rom u r running as u stated in ur post.

It appears to me that ur phone must be running a Rom whether Stock or based on Stock firmware in order to work. Because Stock firmware (eclair, froyo or gb) has bml/rfs partition/file system....As opposed to CM, MIUI, ICS, JB, AOSP, and similar which have mtd/yaffs(2) partition/file system.

The only solution then, is to use the pc desktop Odin or Heimdall.
[Captivate General] thinkpolitics:
thanks for the FYI mate..so you are saying that since my phone is running Paranoid's Rom it will not be compatible with Mobile Odin. This is what's on my phone right now mate. I would think that the developers might have taken that into account and it may be something else..any thoughts on that!

A quote below, directly from the Dev's thread...

"While in theory Mobile ODIN can repartition and flash EFS and bootloaders, it will cowardly refuse to do so, for your own safety."

It seems that is just the way he built Mobile Odin. So if u r not on Stock firmware or a Dev'd Rom based on a Stock firmware, then u must use the desktop versions of Odin or Heimdall.

You can use an app like Astro file manager to show you how your SD card is being used - that will help you eliminate files you don't need or back them up elsewhere. Do an audit of your storage - Music, Photos, Zip files, downloads, etc.

I've heard three different things about Triangle Away app.

1) the app works correctly as it is advertised.

2) after using the app, the flash counter trips again after reboot.

3) the flash counter trips again after reboot ONLY on JellyBean. It works correctly on Ice Cream Sandwich though.

Which is the correct one? I still haven't rooted my S3, so the answer I get well decide it for me. I came from the Epic 4G Touch so I am used to the Odin One Clicks which don't trigger the flash counter(and that I dearly miss).
