The thing about 'lots of issue' reports is that folks are bound to announce when they are upset, but majority or folks enjoying the products is keep enjoying it instead of complaining. So, it may seem like there are a lot of issues, but it actually isn't widespread in any way.

I got one and loved it, but I returned it. I didn't any issues. I returned it because I want the LTE version instead. So, if you want to hold out, do it if you want the LTE version (just $80 more than the 32GB wifi version), not if you're waffling about quality issues. But if you are concerned, by it from a brick & mortar store so you have a return window.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
I think you gave an excellent piece of info.But how do i check what rev.E that Nexus 7 is?I read that the updates arent helping everyone,but I reckon the update should do the trick.But the worry is I am importing one,so!

Oh you mean waiting for refurbished models can take longer time?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
Can you please give me the link to brick and mortar store if they provide online service?

Thank you and you made a point!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aerdely:
Reboot into bootloader shutdown the hold vol down+ power, the hardware rev will be toward the bottom. As I said not sure how true that is haven't checked into this my self but would be good to know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laxinchili:
Don't listen to people to tell you to ignore complaints. There is a 30-something page thread about dead pixels going on since launch for a reason, and another about build quality that is huge as well.

The multitouch and GPS problems have been addresses in a (timely) update.

However, if you or your friend care about dead pixels or dust under your screen, it is something that people are indeed experiencing (again - i opened a july mfg unit yesterday and it had 2 dead pixels - my 3rd nexus with dead pixels).

I think the real question here is: If your friend opened one up in India with a dead pixel, some light bleed, some dust under screen, or any other blemish, would he be able to deal with it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
Oh,thank you so much and its called Hardware REV?So you have faced no problem whatsoever?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aerdely:
Yes as mine say I booted into bootload and it says hardware rev. e, yours should show what its on I think like 3 lines down on the device info in bootloader mode near the bottom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
You are absolutely right.If its software issues like GPS and Multi-touch,it could be solved over updates but dead pixels and light bleeding can get him helpless.So its better to wait for refurbished models?If so will they come a bit late?

But are these common issues with every phone in this intensity?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
Thank you so much bro and I am scared what if i encounter any hardware issues like Dead-pixels and light bleeding.And this product is getting imported and worse is it could not be accepted for return since the product is not yet launched in that imported country.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aerdely:
Yes forgot about the dead pixel issue, that is true but not as all have it, its pretty much rolling the dice to see if your lucky enough to get one issue free, at least at the moment. So maybe to wait would be best or even a return but the return hasn't always proven true for me. I came from the Asus transformer which was riddled with ghost touch issues, went through 3 of them just couldn't get around it whether it was a return or not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
Hahaha,ghost touch sound funny but I have seen some people facing that issue on Galaxy note.I love Nexus 7 and one more question.how strong is its GPU?Can it handle games coming 2 to 3 years down the line?I was told it was good,your say on that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sambistt:
buy at amazon. 300$ for 16GB version with USPS delivery is not so much. I get mine and it without any issue. I bricked my older nexus 7 and buy new. but if my N7 1 gen will be ok - that be no need of new tablet. By the way new N7 is real great. I love it sreen and 2gb of ram + dual cameras and dual band. It very optimal e-note. I think for tablet 7 inch is the best solution. 8.9.10 - is LOL. It must be only smartphone (4inch), tablet (7inch) and laptop (15+inch) and TV ( more more inches)

The Tablet is only tablet for e-mail,chat,news checking,dating, photos.navigations - not for deep web surfing,not work or something like that. 8+ inches is not for pants pockets.

Note 8, like the Xperia Z (with old hardware) or like ipads are for totally idiots.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aerdely:
Oh, I assumed you were in the U.S., to tell you the truth not sure on that, if your still too weary on the issues with n7 then best to wait since return or replace isn't going to be so easy. Like said there are some devices that are OK but if by chance you do run into one with light bleed or dead pixel it would be much more difficult for you. I' d wait my self if I were in your situation.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
I am from US bro and my friend from India has requested me to ship one to him so I thought of taking help of you guys before proceeding and its worth it.I really appreciate your assistance bro.I will add you as friend and talk to you there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
I like what u said that is 4 inch is perfect for smartphones and its true.7 inch is immaculate and Nexus 7 made it way too better and nah 9.7 Ipad is cool too provided people want something bigger and yes Laptops and TVs should be a lot bigger,so you were very correct!

In regards to Nexus 7,I am scared bcz its getting shipped to another country otherwise it was really fine.I think I will wait for refurbished models to arrive and then go for it.

Thank you buddy!

Ironic sentence is ironic.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ziantic:
Dude ...

I bought mine with no issues ? Ran all the test with flying colors and didn't find any problem existed on XDA yet.

The thing is : the people who bought good Nexus 7s are many, and the ones who came here to complain are just the top of the iceberg.

So relax, order one, if you find any problem you can return it anyway. Nexus 7's worth to the last penny you can get. Or grow up, take risk as a part of life.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nsnarayan10:
Oh can you specify what all tests you ran that way I can run on mine when I order one.Haha,very true,''Grow up and take risk as a part of life''.Its really pays value for money and I will give it a go soon.

But please let me know abt the tests,Thank you!

Walmart has the easiest exchange policy. I've swapped devices after a year. With the Nook, I exchanged it for the Nook HD (paying the difference of course).

I'd jump now. The N7 is great and waiting around for new tech is never ending. Sure the Amazon tab *might* have a S4 800 but might now. Not sure why they'd choose an 800 over a 600 for a reader. But even those readers are a pain. You have to hack them just to get CM on them to turn it into a tablet. And Amazon and Nooks don't want that so they lock them down pretty good.

Why wait? You have a awesome nexus tab with good features, cheap, and available now.

I just ordered 16gb this week on newegg, I have rev e and no dead pixels, I am running jss1q, but GPS definitely feels slower than my gs4. I am happy with the screen, but I like oled much more.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ziantic:
ok, this is what I did when I bought mine :

1. Check the build quality : no creaking, no cracking, no scratch.

2. Power up the device, check the wifi

3. Go to Play Store and download Dead Pixel and fix, open the app, choose max Brightness, then select the black color, if you don't see any white pixels on the black back ground then it's good, try with different colors to see any weird pixels.

4. Check the speaker by play some songs

5. Check the NFC, if you have NFC tags

6. Check the camera

that's all you can do for a short time

And one more thing I wanna share.Today I installed Multi touch app on my friends 2013 Nexus 7 and whenever I used 4 fingers it showed 4 and 5 fingers it showed 5,so the screen is perfect right?Basically it should display the no of fingers with which we touch the screen right?

Never tried that but I think it's correct if it shows the correct amount of fingers used.

[DEV & USERS] [RAW & ROM Files] 4.2.2 MTK Release Firmware | Deodexed & Odexed

Here Comes the Real Android 4.2.2 for MTK6577 Device from Amoi(Brand).

​

First of all Thanks to all Developers of the XDA Forum and special thanks to these developers of our forum:- @bsuhas @ankurbata @jigarmpattani @mmxandy

@Ak****banta @sohamraut @sagarwep @akash akya @Akhilendra1711 @khan_frd2002

Dear All,

This is neither a ROM nor a MOD of BOND1987. Its only a helping hand to all developers who were earlier trying to port 4.2.1 ROM to our device.

I found this ROM through our colleagues on the XDA Forum of our device @a_swed & @icoolguy1995.

So I downloaded it, unpacked it with Android Kitchen and then I was amazed that its really a 4.2.1 ROM for MT6577 Device by AMOI N821 Device,having all specifications same as Micromax Canvas 2- A110.

So I de-odexed it.

I am here zipping the full de-odexed ROM + the original boot.img on Dev-Host. If any Dev need more files do leave a post here and the same will be provided within hours or a day.

To Users :-

Don't even think of flashing it. It's only RAW files with a Meta-INF folder inside.

To Developers :-

Don't worry All of you Sir. I verified everything that need to be verified for obtaining the reallity that Its 4.2.2.

I decompiled few apps also and all have

android:versionCode="17" android:versionName="4.2.2-eng.scm.1366200500"

In the first line.

Further prrofs are attached here as print screen of Android Kitchen De-odexing the System -app + framework and denoting it with the API of 17.

As I don't know anything related to the ROM Development so uploaded here so that talented Devs can have a look. I am only a themer and that also not so good. So please understand my situation. I promise that your data will not be wasted.

So now please Devs its time for you to put effort to bring us the 4.2 ROM for our device as we are eagerly waiting for this.

I really appreciate the efforts laid by all of the developers of this & every device forum. Hope to see some good ROMs based on the 4.2.2 for MT6577 Devices.

And To Moderators :- I am extremely sorry if I had broken any rule of the forum. I didn't got good idea for posting it anywhere so posted this in the android development forum.I am sorry for this.

Thanks Everyone For All of Your Support.

[Micromax A110] premsagar_rs1:
ok since the notification panel is like 4.1.1 we can port a raw 4.2.1 panel from any other stock 4.2.1 rom.......but is it the same with the lockscreen?....doesn't or does it support widgets?..i mean about the widget lockscreen:confused:
[Micromax A110] Akhilendra Gadde:
We need to port notification panel from canvas HD or canvas 4 because our systemui contains mediatek carrier files .. porting from other device may cause FC's.

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

[MENTION=320897]People[/MENTION] who have booted it successfully,,,, please install root checker from play store and see in the system configs .... if the api level shows 17, then it is 4.2.1 ... just to confirm please check!
[Micromax A110] :
Not only that brother, but few more things like all the canvas 4 goodies can also be ported to our device.....

More or less now this 4.2 will make us feel the worth of our canvas....

I download the rom, but i think its 4.1.2 because i see all apps in system folder is of 4.1.2(like android keyboard, gallery, systemui and all other apps),so its another 4.1.2 rom
[Micromax A110] Sam Solomon:
Im gonna download.....But seeing images and others....Me too thinks its 4.1.2............ Check the thread saying 4.2 found.... Same... WIth DISXDA Kitchen i was able to deodex only using API 17.....API 16 didnt work..Showed Java Error :confused:
[Micromax A110] :
Yes brother Its booting well and The API level shows 4.2.1 Its pure stock ROM. Nothing else.

Its booting but the phone.process.android has stopped and so no signals at all. Any Idea.

I used the Boot.img and modem.img of stock MMX JB v1.11

EDIT:-

Those having Doubts about it go to App/All apps in setting and open Android system and you will the info on that.

And Its pure stock ROM nothing modded so don't even think for So many things.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
[MENTION=4987653]BOND1987[/MENTION]: Thanks for verifying but i think we still need more confirmation...! But yes this is a good discovery let's find out what can be whipped out of it.. :)

One question, this is the same ROM given in this page right? You just deodexed and uploaded it?
[Micromax A110] inGen.AD:
M downloading and will report by tomorrow
[Micromax A110] mmxandy:
there is no 4.2 toggles..
[Micromax A110] :
If anyone boot this rom well then there is another way for checking this rom that it is pure android 4.2, someone instal this Dash clock widget app because this app install only if u have android 4.2 or higher here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...d+app+that+only+work+in+android+4.2+or+higher

Rom Info from dsxda kitchen:
[Micromax A110] :
For those Who need more proofs so here are few apps screenshots that have not been yet ported so they can never show 4.2 and further more screenshots.

The RAM management of this ROM is also quite good. without any tweaks or apps its good as per the stock ROM.

Lastly Can any dev tell me the that how to fix the SIM and calling issues. Used three modem.img but all have same results.

No Signal and phone.android.process has stopped everytime. Please help man. I am not a dev but want to use it for few days.
[Micromax A110] Sam Solomon:
Bro,This ROM looks very similar to Jiayu 4.1.2...Where too RAM Mangement is Awesome...... App API 17 is also found on the i-9500 ROM....But its 4.1 for sure..... Anyway,if i find this rom good...Ill try to patch it up ;)
[Micromax A110] :
Sorry to Say brother,

But The screenshot I have given is of some internal apps . Can you tell me that is it possible to show 4.2.1 in the all aps section if yes then just let me know the how to....

And I asked for solution but I think I have to wait for few more days to get this working.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
[MENTION=4987653]BOND1987[/MENTION] did u flash this with the boot.img available with the ROM or did you use our Micromax a110 boot.img?
[Micromax A110] :
With Micromax boot.img. Does it have something related to that also....??????
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Not sure about that, i'm just checking coz i am about to flash it...
[Micromax A110] :
check this out

check this out :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.1_Jelly_Bean_.28API_level_16.29

its mentioned that android 4.1 has api level of 16 and 4.2 has api level of 17
[Micromax A110] khan_frd2002:
bond bro try to replace the phone.apk with stock jb one and see you get the signal or not
[Micromax A110] Akhilendra Gadde:
[MENTION=369423]bond[/MENTION] and other devs.... in the given ss by bond of apps .... 4.2.1 can be edited by ourselves in android manifest.XML of a particular app.

Api level is 16 and not 17 which means its 4.1.2, sorry bro!.

And yes kernel is also responsible for api level . Which changing api kernel mod is also required!
[Micromax A110] poran123:
for me only 2G network... 3G network doesn't work
[Micromax A110] :
Then there is another contradiction that I flashed Two SystemUI on this ROM One of Stock MMX JB v1.11 and second one My MODDED HybridUI but none of them shows up.

The question is If its 4.1.2 then Why my mods are not working coz its working on all MTK 6577 devices all over the world as reported.

Yes this ROM is pretty much confusing and By editing xml file your app will never show up if its not matching the ROM's API level.

Lastly everything can be done but you can change anything in the Android Kitchen as it selects everything Automatically.

These things are really confusing.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
I don't get it.. When de-odexing with kitchen I used the API level as 17 and it was successful!!! Shouldn't that fail if this is 4.1.1 as that would need API level 16?
[Micromax A110] mmxandy:
Micromax a110q rom is also 4.2.1 based i will try the phone apk working in our ROM or not..
[Micromax A110] jigarmpattani:
Working Network

For those who are unable to Start SIM Network kindly follow dis steps.

>> Got to your Stock JB based Rom >> System >> etc >> Firmware

>> Copy All Files

>> Go to New 4.2.1 Rom >> System >> etc >> Firmware and Paste All Files But DO NOT OVERWRITE ( Do Not Replace )

You can also Copy Modem.img , which you should Replace

Vibrate On Call and Call End Working.

Have you got it working brother....????

Coz I am not able to get this working.....?????

One more confusion I tried by flashing A11Q systemUI and amazing thing is that it also haven't shown up and I think its 4.2.2 in A110Q......

[Micromax A110] :
By The Way Can I know that is there any behavioral in any apps you mentioned in any device and regarding quickpanel I told you that this pretty much confusing.

Cause Something is like this and something like that. We all are here and nothing has got it with relevant proof.

If its 4.1 then why MODs and Stock SystemUI of Micromax is not working.....
