Mine is working fine. GPS works fine for how I use it and I don't care to test more if I don't need it.

32gb model from craiglist :P

gps problem is NOT obtaining a lock. It's holding a lock for 30+ minutes while moving... not stationary.

No problems here. GPS has worked the few times I've used Maps. This one is a keeper.

Also worth noting, there's no visible screen bleeding, which is awesome considering my TF201 & TF700 both had very obvious bleeds.

total: $ 286 (for 16GB) to my Country with USPS Priory

Number of dead pixels: 0

problems with GPS: no

problems with WIFI: No

other problems: no

tablet twice updated

very happy - great screen

only use it for the Internet, check email, as a GPS navigator,

games is not interested, so that 16 GB is perfect for me.

for other things i`m using my ultrabook
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sensboston:
Could you please:

- turn on NFC (Settings->Wireless & networks->More)

- turn on "Scanning always available" (Settings->Wi-Fi->Advanced)

- install any boot logger (like Bootlog Uptime) or just remember your current uptime (Settings->About->Status & scroll all way down)

- tell me (us) your results after day or two?

Thanks!

P.S. To all of you: dear reporters, could you please check your bugless lucky Nexus with these easy steps? I definitely need to know - at least, we'll get some benefit from this pointless thread...

P.P.S. Also, I'm especially interested in 16 GB version tests...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] infideler:
Great thread. No issues on a 32GB or a 16GB in this household. Both working great.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shinkinrui:
My settings are already set to those, never changed(are these the default settings for stock?), and my uptime has been up in the 200-hour range before I rebooted manually. Currently I'm at 18 hours. Can report back in a couple days if you like. Mine is a 16gb purchased at Best Buy on 7/26
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sensboston:
shinkinrui, thank you sir! Are you rooted/have TWRP recovery or just a base stock?

P.S. Probably, I'll exchange my N7...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aerdely:
So far so good. Stock unrooted 16gb, bought on amazon. Tested everything it says. No dead pixels. GPS, WiFi searching OK, had it about a week now with no reboots, haven't had to manually, just only when it did the initial update and not since about a week so far.

Edit- Up time was off had it about a week so far but up time is about 48 hours. Still no reboots or other problems though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] witeboy07:
Working flawlessly, bought a16gb, returned for OfficeMax deal and bought 32gb. Both no problems, launch day tablets.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mmilestone:
Been running my N7 with those settings for weeks now. No problems. Running smoothly.

I do find it a bit amusing that you'd call this thread "pointless".

When, after seeing all these people with no problems, you'd post a message that actually looks more pointless than the thread.

This "pointless" thread is for those with no issues OOTB.

You won't get any benefit from this "pointless thread" no matter what you do. Read the thread title again.

If you want to get benefit from a thread for your defective device go to a thread that deals with the defects you find in your device. Otherwise, your post is just as pointless as those who would post in a thread that deals with defects and issues telling everyone that their device is perfect.

I hope that helps and that you get your buggy device all sorted out, returned or replaced.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sensboston:
Thanks for the report.

Because sentences like "I have no problems at all" or "my device is working great", without additional info like model/manufacturer date/is rooted/GPS+NFC+WiFi status etc. are pointless. I bet, 80% people who posted here, have no idea about checking logcat/uptime, and so on.

I'm just trying to figure out source of all Nexus issues: hardware-related issues or software bugs.

So, if many people reporting: "My Nexus is 100% bugs free: rooted, 16 GB, TWRP, GPS/NFC/WiFi is on, GPS/multi-touch is functional (already tested with specific apps), stock, uptime 480 hours, no random reboots" - that means other devices with issues (random reboots/GPS/multi-touch) have hardware-related problems and should be replaced by store/manufacturer warranty.

For example, my Nexus runs great with NFC off (latest uptime 11 days). Yesterday I've turned NFC on (started developing app), and got "random reboot" (a few hours later, reading news).

I hope, you understand my point. Xda is a developers site; yeah, I know: many people are proud of the fact that they get the "problem free" Nexuses.

However if you think we have a lack of threads like:

- I love my Nexus, it works GREAT and I don't care about GPS/NFC - I just LOVE IT!!!

- Count me, count me!!! I VERY LIKE MY NEXUS VERY GREAT DEVICE!!!!

- Have no problems at all, LOVE my NeXuS

& so on

I'm very sorry :laugh:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sambistt:
have, more than you can imagine, idea about it
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mmilestone:
Man, I can understand your frustration. Been there with previous Asus products (Prime and TF 700).

First culprit we really tend to look at is hardware, given that this was made by Asus. However, when we look at hardware, if it is indeed a hardware issue, the question becomes, is it a design defect or workmanship/QC issue. If it is a design defect (i.e TF Prime's Aluminum back or iPhone 4 signal attenuation, etc.) we really couldn't do much about it other than return it and move on to another device. Workmanship issues are something we could (or at least should) rely on the manufacturer to replace and/or fix.

Software issues are when gurus like you come in. But then as it is, you won't get much mileage trying to get it fixed when people are just posting how great and godsend their device is, and all the thread is trying to do is get a hand-raise count of owners with no issues. I also don't think this is a software issue.

A friend of mine has the same device. But like you and a lot of others, he does have the same issues, and did not get a worry-free unit. We were talking about it and comparing. It could boil down to workmanship issues as software-wise we have almost practically the same set-up.

Maybe it's time to get a count or reporting of build numbers/dates etc?

If we rely on Asus, based on my experience, nothing will get done except excuses and avoidance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] flyinion:
No problems here with my second one. I picked up my first 32GB one from a Best Buy on the early Friday launch day and it had the problem where it wouldn't install the 2nd update or show the GPS icon at all. Returned it to a different BB the following day that had known newer stock (the shipment got to them at least a couple days later) and it has worked flawlessly so far other than a couple random GPS not locking issues (which seems to be a general 4.3 software issue from what I've read and not 2013 Nexus 7 specific).

edit: Based on just seeing sensboston's post I'll add a couple bits. NFC off, I don't have any NFC items so have never used it, though I should turn it on to test and play with NFC against my Gnex. WiFi and GPS are always on, have also BT tethered it to my vehicle for navigation via Maps and music via Play Music. Typical uptime is 3.5-5 days or so between charging depending on how heavy I'm using. 5 days easy with just email, forums and some light gaming. Don't remember the last time I actually restarted it, maybe a week? Finally it is rooted stock, unlocked BL, TWRP installed and stock kernel as well still.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] guoloong:
I'm really curious why it doesn't wake up when wifi is off or not connected. This doesn't happen in the first gen N7. I'm using stock though. Any one with custom ROM has this issue? Just wondering if it is a software or hardware setting.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shinkinrui:
Sorry for the late reply. I'm fully stock, not rooted and no recoveries flashed. Before you exchange, maybe you should try reflashing? Someone started a thread stating people have been resolving the random reboots by reflashing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Xirix12:
So the other day I replied saying "I haven't had any issues with my 16gb version. Only the lack of cases. I wish I would have gotten the 32gb version though!"

So I was getting a little worried about the 16GBs and decided to exchange it for the 32GB version for $40 more. Now this one doesn't have the super cool wallpaper (which can be downloaded).

It also didn't update the same way the 16GB version did. The 16 updated twice. This one only did it once. So I powered off and turned it back on. It then said that I had downloaded an update and needed to install it. So I selected reboot to install. It did not reboot and just said it was up to date (Which I am not sure if it really is) 4.3 is on it but was there something else that needed updating?

The next thing is screenshots. To take a screenshot you hold Power and Vol Down. Now I looked this up and some people just said to hold it longer. This however doesn't work. I have to smash the buttons to get a screenshot. I don't have to hold it long I just press it quick but if it is hard enough it will take the screenshot.

Now I am thinking i should have stuck with the 16GB version which had none of these quirks!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sensboston:
Unfortunately, it's all empiric - nobody knows the real source of the issue(s). So, I ended by ordering a new Nexus from Amazon because it's free, I'll get new device today (free one day shipping) and I'll have a month to decide which device I should keep. Will test both of 'em during week.

P.S. Yesterday, I've turned on everything: NFC, Wi-Fi scanning, GPS sensor. Hmm - device still up, no random reboot detected. Looks like, my "old" new Nexus already know about upcoming replacement "guy" and trying to be cool :laugh:

Mine seems to be fine as far as hardware goes. 32gb built in July.

Software is another story, Netflix doesn't work and I feel that HD Youtube playback is actually not as fluid or sharp as the N7 v1.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
I wouldn't draw that conclusion.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jtc276:
No huge problems so far. Slight backlight bleed on the boot screen but nothing that I would send it back for. I haven't gotten the GPS to lock yet but I'm pretty sure that's a widespread issue and more than likely software caused, so I'm going to ignore it (plus, I don't use it anyway).

I think mine is a newer model and it's a 32gb.

I haven't had touchscreen problems, but I have ran into the GPS bug. It's a little hard to replicate upon command, but generally switching between a few apps that access GPS for a while will cause the problem to pop up. Rebooting temporarily fixes the problem for me. I haven't tried the new build yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hyperxguy:
I said I couldn't fail the GPS earlier after the update.

Well I just lost the GPS lock doing the usual tests (as you stated).

My Nexus had minor GPS issues out of the box, otherwise perfect. After today's update, GPS seems better but now I'm having some minor touchscreen issues. The new issues are very minor; mainly occasionally Swype acts like I lifted my finger in the middle of a word. Overall, I'm confident that Google/Asus will get it sorted out and I'm very satisfied with the product. Trust me, the first time you hand this tablet to someone playing with their (thicker and bigger) iPad mini, you'll know you made the right choice.

Device ordered and received (yesterday) from France (FNAC). H/W production date is Jul'13.

Good screen, no light bleeds, no dust, no dead pixels. Overall build quality looks very good.

Wifi is fast, although in tough positions at home shows a slight shorter reach than my old Asus Transformer tablet (but when connects, it is much faster).

Firmware update (Q) loaded instantly, and I did not check stability with factory version. No random reboots, and all apps installed looks very stable, although experiencing 1 crash with Google Play (very strange) and systematic crashes with z-test (some tests crashes the application).

No double touch problems from screen, only time to time long press (but this is a matter of getting used to different screen sensitivity, I think)

GPS locks in seconds, finding more satellites than other tablets at home. Did not check if having long trip problems... but lock staid stable when tested.

In summary, I'm a happy user :)
