They changed the shipping location then from the launch of the Nexus 4 & 10. Good to hear.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Chart ingSimm

This sounds right for Future Shop and Best Buy stated that their preorders were going to shipped on the 16th.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Mr. Droid:
Does this price match sound about right ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
They may have processed the payment in Canada but that does not mean your unit will come from the Canadian warehouse.

I just spoke to a Google Play rep and he stated that it can come from either the Canadian or US warehouse depending on your location and the current inventory levels.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
hey guys i'm a bit stuck here... i'm order the 32 gb version, but..

The best buy preorder is around 318 $ --> minus ~130 in gift cards = 185 $ (if i remember correctly from my order page)

However, the google play preorder is 13$ (10 + environmental fee) cheaper. Therefore, the final price is 304$.

Which one should I go for? I'm only debating because i'm worried for future warranty scenarios w/ best buy. Let's say I have to go for manufacturer warranty, would having purchased it from the play store provide any convenient warranty benefits than having purchased it from Best Buy?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
I'd get it from BestBuy due to the gift card purchase. You can try to price match with the Play Store. The warranty issue will be better via Google as they with either provide you with an advance replacement (like it has done for many in the past) or simply take care of all the RMA paperwork on your behalf so you don't have to deal with it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
thanks for your reply :)

argh who knew gift cards would be troubling

EDIT: although i would prefer google warranty ... im going to have to go with best buy... because they lowered my preorder to match the 269 that google play was selling it at + the gift card reason.. thanks for the suggestion Tony_YYZ!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] moonlight09:
I just finished my order of New Nexus 7 32gb through Google Play Store and

do you guys think it'd be possible to receive the unit by next Monday?

btw, i live in Ontario!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
No problem! I try to help where I can. It was much more financially beneficial this way. Just make sure to read through the forums and test out for any of the issues that other people are complaining about. If you experience any, just exchange it before your return period is up.

As per the Google Play rep I spoke to today, he wouldn't say with certainty but said there was a high possibility that it should be delivered by Friday or the latest Monday depending on where you are. I am in Ontario as well, GTA.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] caspik:
got a shipping notification from Google play store. New Nexus 7 on the way to me.

And it is going to me (SK) from US warehouse.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Yep, thing is you guys pay the hst while we only pay the gst. This is why it cost less. XD

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
Yeap it's still cheaper due to that $20 difference. Even for Ontario it's cheaper. I've calculated the final prices for reference in the first post.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] plznote:
Thank god I only have to pay 5% GST in Alberta.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
From which shop are you buying?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zifier:
with 317 price for me living in Ontario...you think its worth it for the 32GB or should I wait until it hits stores?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] p4rot:
Yes everything include, and like you said at b+ h it's cheaper. I'm in Quebec by the way, we always pay more here I think it's 15% of tax.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zifier:
Also, if I order from B&H, will I have to pay an import fee or something for Ontario?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
It depends on where you live. I just put it there for reference. Just let B&H handle it and you won't have to pay brokerage.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zifier:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] asharptm:
Here's the Future Shop link as well if anyone prefers them over Best Buy for whatever reason: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/id/10261231.aspx
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wilsonlam97:
The price I've provided should be what you would be paying then.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jathusanT:
Buy it from B&H.

Usually, the product is gonna cost more in Canada. If you add 13% of tax (Ontario) on top of that, you'll still save money buying from B&H. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zifier:
Thank you. Well looks like in about 20 minutes I will be pre-ordering the 32GB model :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jathusanT:
Me too :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zifier:
Well, the long wait to pre-order is finally over. Now the wait for the tablet to get to me has just begun. I never owned a tablet before. Can anyone recommend me a case? What about a screen protector? I also noticed that it has a micro USB slot. Should i get an adapter or will it come with the usb cable?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] p4rot:
16 GB model ordered at B&H,, yesss!

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

First if you have kids like I do I advice you to have a case.

Also if you plan to bring it out with you.

Your better to get a cheap clear screen protector also, for that go to eBay , don't buy in local stores they will rip you off , same for the case.

For the case I hate flip cover type of case, I prefer tpu cases, they cover the back and they are not bulky.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Preordered the 16GB model as well from B&H!! :D I hope we're the only ones ordering through them. (this way 100% gurantee no backorder XD)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zifier:
I think we get put in order of when we ordered the tablet. So basically if your were the 100th to pre-order and there is only 50, then the first 50 people who ordered get them.

[MENTION=1021772]johnathan[/MENTION]- Ty for the response! I will get a case and screen off ebay. Prob cheaper.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Yeah seems like so. Well i'm hoping for people cancelling because they could order it right US shops (if ordered from US)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] notoriouspk:
just ordered mine from www.bestbuy.ca total comes down to 284 after taxes... it's a pre order will be shipped on 30 July.

waiting for a tracking number says.. I will get an email when it's shipped with tracking number.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
I just randomly checked on Play Store (before coming here) and it was there so I grabbed a 32GB version. Glad I waited for it to become available from Play Store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
What issues are others having ???
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
GPS losing it's lock and unable to re-attain, screen touch sensitivity problems, dead pixels and a few others. There are a few threads going in the General section about some of the more common issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] smelenchuk:
Just ordered the 32GB from the Play Store... will keep people posted as to order progress and such.

HOORAY!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] joecop:
I see..

does the 32 gb nexus 7 (non lte) have gps capabilities though?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Issues ??

What are the most common issues? What are posters in here experiencing? Is it software / hardware that can be resolved? How common or percentage of these units having issues? I ordered mine yesterday from Google and now having second thoughts.......

This doesn't look good.

Comments anyone.....
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Read through the General section of the forum. There are many threads on the issues. I have even listed some of them a few posts above. You can always return the tablet after you receive it if you are not satisfied with it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BoneXDA:
To anyone who purchased it outside of Google Play:

What kind of warranty card is included and where did you buy the product? I am looking for Global Warranty Card that should be cover repairs anywhere.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Own One

Thanks for all your input, appreciate it. Looking through all the posts and will indeed check mine out when I get it.

Why issues on some device on none on others?

Have you yet purchased/received a Nexus 7 FHD yey? If so, you have any issues?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
The best thing to do is just dedicate some time and read through the threads, that's what I've done. I have purchased one from the Play Store, just waiting for it to get here. I will update any pertinent threads if I discover any issues. I don't think I'll go ahead with the second OTA out of the box when I get it because that seems to be the root of the screen issues.

And no problem!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Response ??

Has Google or Asus addressed or responded/commented on any of these issues/concerns that people are experiencing?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Google had acknowledged that they are aware of the GPS and screen issues and are working on a fix.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Thanks

Cool, thanks so much. Are these two issues on every device or just a few??
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] optimi:
I would imagine the forums would blow up if this was an issue on every device, so I would guess it is hit and miss.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Not every device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] alex00725:
hi, I went to price match my 32 GB model at memory express and the customer rep told me they don't price match with Google coz Google is not a Canadian company and don't ship from Canada . and that was it. I had heard memory express is good but the way they treated me they are just as bad as every other company after all . well. my loss. will be careful in future
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Mathbou94:
Got my Newegg order in less than 24 hours. That's amazing!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Thanks

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll have to check mine out carefully when I get it. Not really sure where or how to look for the GPS issue since it's only wifi.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] alex00725:
connect it to WiFi , make sure the GPS is on, open maps, wait for GPS to lock and then keep the screen turned on for about 30 minutes . if you lose the GPS lock and are unable to get the lock again then you have a nexus 7 (2013) with faulty GPS .
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Thanks

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I have all Apple iphones and tablets and this is my first Android unit so I'm not 100 percent sure of it's functions. I'm willing to give Android a try and hopefully enjoy it enough to stick with it. However, I'm really looking forward to a retina display iPad mini.

Cheers!!

Just like I was informed yesterday, my order is now shipped out from Toronto. Can't hardly wait to receive this beast.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:

Shipping Update

Correction to my last post. I received my shipping notice email and thought it stated it was being shipped from Toronto. I got an update from UPS and it's actually shipped from the USA and won't arrive here until by end of Tuesday (20 August). Gosh, another 6 days to go. I thought I read somewhere that it would take two days.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] smelenchuk:
Also likewise (down to the date).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:

I currently own only Apple IOS products, this will be my first Android. Is there a way to back up all your tablet settings and installed apps? Something like you can do in iTunes. Thanks so much. Cheers!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
My unit is also shipping from the USA and will arrive:

Scheduled Delivery:

Monday, 08/19/2013, By End of Day
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Andro_pty:
Likewise! but to Quebec city,

Now located in Middleburg Heights, OH, United States
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mikeneron:
First thing you should do is unlock the bootloader and root it. Then you will be able to do a full backup with TWRP (Nandroid backup).

There is a guide over at nexus7root dot com

When you are rooted, you can install an app called Titanium Backup which can then back up all your apps. I have mine set to backup every night and then upload to Dropbox as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] darethehair:
Though I believe this, I am curious to how this is possible when shipped from a US warehouse? How does Canadian Customs not get involved? How does UPS not try to heavily exploit the situation with their infamous 'brokerage' fees from cross-border processing?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Maybe all the fees are included in the shipping price? I would be surprised though because it's from UPS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Google takes care off all of this. There is a series of paperwork and all that jazz that they need to file with their brokerage house in order to get seamless shipments. This is invisible to the customer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] darethehair:
That is the answer that I wanted to hear :) This being said, it is quite a 'deal' for Google to provide free shipping *and* include the border-hassle processing stuff as well!

Too bad more US online stores don't do the same for us Canadians...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] RunnersFoot:
I had no problems getting price match for 16GB at Best Buy. I'd also like to add that I had no problems returning my first N7 to Best Buy because of the screen multi touch problem. The 2nd unit I got was a bit better but still did the jumping.

I then flashed cm10.2 and it's basically gone away. Oddly it only does the multi touch problem when it's lying flat on my bed. On any surface or holding it, it is fine.

Still early in the day so we'll see what happens but...

Checked order status at best buy for my 32gb model. It's changed from pre-order to out of stock. I ordered with over 70 available on the pre-order.

So we'll see what happens as day progresses but that doesn't look promising.

I completely forgot to cancel my BestBuy order since I ordered from the Play Store. Your post just reminded me to. I checked any it shows Out of Stock as well in my order.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rhinosaurus:
So I've called about 6 stores in Ottawa and only 2 stores indicated they received stock... 1 unit each. So... Launch day for 32s at fs and Bob and Ottawa stores are getting a single unit if they get any.... Lil

Also their websites seem to have crashed beyond the homepage.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Woot! My device is in WIndsor, ON right now. Too bad I won't get it today to play with it on the weekend.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] moonlight09:
Same here, although my guaranteed delivery date is 19th, Monday, I was hoping for it to arrive early since Windsor is less than two hour drive from my place. Called them, and they say i have to wait until Monday.. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] optimi:
Mine is in Windsor too. Expected delivery is Tuesday, but I am in Ottawa. Going back to TO for the weekend, I wonder if I can intercept it there?

Edit: Denied by UPS. They are committed to delivery it to a specific address by Google.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
that's lame. So much for getting one instore this weekend. Didn't have any at Staples on Bank St 403.

Finally looked at the New Nexus, been holding off on doing so and now i know why. That screen is amazingly crisp, like ginsu knife sharp text. Compared it with a Note 8 beside it (which I like the 8" form factor more but $$$$), the text is noticeably crisper to my eyes. And definitely butter smooth.

PROBLEMS

Been doing a lot of reading regarding the problems almost everyone is having with this tablet and my 32GB will be here on Tuesday. It seems like most, if not all are having GPS and touch screen problems. So many people have done several exchanges with the same results. I spoke to Google on the issue and they stated that they would give me a refund if I experience these issues and wanted to return it, but I would have to pay the return shipping cost. I hope mine is acceptable, but doesn't look good and I'll be out the return cost and all the accessories I purchased on Ebay. Google has not provided any information on the cause or solutions and the tablet is going to be released in the UK next week. WOW !!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
I pre-ordered my 32gb model from Futureshop the first day they were available for pre-order. They were supposed to be available August 16. However, I just received an email today that said delivery has been delayed to August 21. They sent me a $10 e-coupon for my troubles.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] smelenchuk:
My 32GB, ordered from the Play Store on Wednesday, left Winnipeg last night, presumably on its way over here.

It's supposed to be delivered Tuesday, but I wouldn't be surprised if I get my hands on it on Monday.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Matrix_19:
GPS I'm not sure because not many people are using it intensively (30+ min)

However the touchscreen issue is for a little minority of people. You are wrong to believe most of people have a touchscreen issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] LegobrandonCP:
Still waiting for my local FS to get the 32gb in stock. I need to reserve online to apply my coupon. Gotta get this baby before I leave on vacation on the 21st.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
Tomorrow is the day!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] LegobrandonCP:
I hope you're right! Where did you hear this? :laugh:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] claytonb:
Oh really, well goto Google's forum and do a search on the screen issue and most of the people that have screen issues didn't experience it until the OTA update. Leads to think it's a software issue. I spoke to a lady at Google on Friday who told me that they were getting a lot of calls regarding the screen issues. Many people have exchanged their tablets several times (5-6) and finally ended up returning it for a refund due to the screen issues. Do a google search because it's a well known issue. Do your homework before you post online that someone is wrong.

which company?

FYI - BB / FS shipments (not delivery) are by the 21st according to their apology email. BB shows out of stock still this morning.

I wouldn't expect physical stock until the pre-orders are shipped.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
Looks like ups by judging from the location it came out. If so then I think it's a play store purchase am I correct?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
^ Yes, Play Store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tangentm:
If there is any upside, I've experienced no touch screen issues with mine other than myself having to learn to use a lighter touch than on my aging Galaxy S. I can't comment on the GPS issues as I have not used it long enough to make a judgement but the few times I've used it it's found a signal very quickly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
Woot! UPS just delivered my Play Store order for a 32GB Nexus 7!!!

Time to play. I'm probably not going to do the second OTA after powering it on.

Have you guys noticed anything wrong with the devices you received today?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
^ I'm charging now so I can unlock BL/root :). Fastest way to get up and running is to install Titanium Backup and restore apps I want, some of which need root. So it will be a few hours yet.

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

I did just install a multi-touch test app in the meantime, no issues, it registers two simultaneous touches properly. Again, I did not install the 2nd update.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
So far so good. i haven't tested GPS fully yet, but it did get a lock from within my house. I haven't had much time to play with it yet due to work. But i'll go over it some more later on. Everything looks/seems fine so far though.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TellTenPeople:
Congrats! You're braver than I would be — I can never quite make myself unlock and root until the return/exchange window has closed.

I take that the 2nd update is known to cause issues?

Now have Paranoid ROM installed and restoring Apps from Titanium.

I did *not* do the 2nd update :))
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tony_YYZ:
FYI for anyone who is still running the stock ROM and did NOT do the second OTA, you will not be able to use the Netflix App. It will just error out when you launch it. The Google Play Store listing for Netflix says that you need all the latest 4.3 patches for it to work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mikeneron:
Went for a bike ride tonight and packed the Nexus 7 in my back pack and ran the Strava app. Total time was just over 40 minutes and it matched pretty much perfect with my Galaxy S3. Tried running up the GPS Test app when I got home and it looked good as well.

I did both OTA updates when I first got the device and then unlocked the boot loader and then rooted. Haven't noticed anything weird with the touchscreen or the GPS even though tonight was the only time the GPS has been used for more than 30 minutes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bazket_case:
