[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashlward:
This is my first post, so sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.

First I'll give you a bit of a backstory.

Installed Viperone Rom

Enjoy it; going well

I made a backup

The next day, I check my storage and I have like 1GB of space free. I got scared...

So I was looking around forums, and someone said you should try wiping the device

Okay I did that, and that fixed most things. Except the Viperone rom was acting weird... it didn't seem right.

So I did ANOTHER wipe, but a more extreme wipe (Woops), I can't remember what I did, but I basically I got rid of the OS!!

I'm trying to use fastboot USB, but my pc isn't picking the phone up (even though it did before), and I have all the drivers, etc.

So basically I can't load a rom back onto it, because it won't connect to my pc. And correct me if I'm wrong, but is a rom the OS, or is the OS the OS? Have I completely f**ked up?

I've tried using an OTG cable (with a micro sd) to put the rom on my phone, but my phone isn't even picking up the OTG cable!!

I'd like to mention I'm using TWRP.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashlward:
Okay guys I think i've fixed it. I "mounted" the OTG usb, and now I'm able to install the rom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MightySashiman:
OK, I feel the need to publically rant about my nexus 7 (sorry, utterly useless topic)

I'm tired of acting as a beta tester when I buy consumer electronics. The problems with multitouch on my nexus 7 32gb were hiliarious for about 10 secs. I don't even want to try out the various bootloaders to try to fix it software-wize. This kind of problem should not have happened in the first place, AT ALL. How the hell do these products get quality checked before being sold, seriously ? Multitouch is THE main and basic feature of such devices, how on Earth can it not be perfect out of box ?

I was wondering by the way : has Apple ever had any problems with the multitouch on its phones ? I've actually rarely had any apple phones / tablets in my hand, but each single time, the touch response was way better than any android device out there. How come ? (please don't tell me : "ok f* off and go apple already", it's an open question, I'm curious).

Also, this tablet being my first experience in the tablet world, Google clearly hasn't made up its mind if it's to be considered as a tablet or as a biggish phone. Gmail, for one, in portrait looks as stupid as Tapatalk 4 with its massive side menu you can't ever swipe away. I want a damn TABLET experience.

So the nexus 7 is going back to the shop, and I'll wait for some other device, which may be a long time, as I cannot imagine buying anything else than nexus (Can't bare manufacturer devices that already aren't supported anymore after being on the market for >4months).

I sicked of being played around, and tired of all this nonsense. :/

Cheers. have a wonderful weekend. (and "Bon courage !" to all of you nexus7 users, I'm out)

Don't buy Nexus devices if you are going to throw hissy fits over bugs
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MightySashiman:
What's your point ? Nexus devices are supposed to be an especially reliable plateform for Android app programmers, not a vast google beta program for it's own developers !! (I'm talking about the basic hardware features here, not advanced / beta features in google apps)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kumczak:
OP, i'd say... who cares? You said yourself its stupid thread so why do you bother to start it anyway?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] z0phi3l:
Developer devices don't have to be stable, they are a baseline to work with, no one have any guarantees that they would be consumer level qualify or stable, buying a Nexus device means you are part time beta testing
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MightySashiman:
The nexus 7 is sold in all consumer electronic stores, as is any Samsung, Sony,... products. Clearly it's not "beta hardware" anymore...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] User_99:
Seriously? They sold a bunch of devices and all "buyers" should be developers only? If I buy a device then the basic features must work. Nothing more nothing less, also if I am a developer the device must work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MightySashiman:
I'd even say, a developer would require EXTRA STABLE hardware in order to program without having hardware bugs mixing with his own apps' bugs...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] timrock:
when you first discovered the issue did you try to return it? Have you read about the issue before purchasing it?

why not get an apple device, just curious.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SGSIIIUser:
I completely agree with you with all these problems with the Nexus 7, but for its price and speed compared to the iPad mini, I'll stick with my Nexus 7 since the problems are bearable for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PJ Clifford:
While I agree with the OP in principle, almost everything in the computing industry is that way any more. There is such pressure to get new hardware/software out the door, that all vendors are putting stuff out before it is truly ready. I don't think Google is any more guilty of this than any other technology vendor. I've seen stuff a LOT more screwed up than the N7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
IMO there is an 80-90% chance most, if not all, of your touch issues can be resolved in 10 minutes using this thread:

Of course you won't have the pleasure of ranting.

Your choice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] asheehanjr:
That is why I always wait at least a month before I buy something. That ways I can see if there is any problems with the first run. With the New Nexus 7 I new there was going to be issues with multi touch and I haven't had any problems with it yet. The only problem I have had so far is the keyboard sometimes freezes while I type. Not a big deal to me. No matter what electronic device you buy, there will always be something that will go wrong with it. I'm loving the New Nexus 7 so far. Just sad to see someone get discouraged over something that could be fixed by software. Enjoy your next tablet that you get. ;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] br0ok1ynb0i:
Let's be honest here, you can always find a flaw in each phone/tablet out in the market. Everything comes down to your personal preference and your ability to accept certain flaws. Even ipads/iphones have their own set of issues. It may not be multi touch issues but there are some other issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tweaked:
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

/waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I dont have any issues. None that you describe. Then again, I'm not an end user. Which you sound like. Nothing wrong with that. But you bought something for power users and devs. Not Gramma's and Hippsters..

I change the things out with other things that give me issues or that I don't like and I have full control of the tablet. Something you'll harldy get elsewhere.

But thats not what you want. You want rock stable. So buy an Apple. (which has its own issues, But thats not where I am going) or a windows slate...Muahahahahahahahahahaha....Sorry, there really is no place to go that doesn't have some kind of issue. Maybe Buy a chalk board. Those haven't had many issues in like 100+ years.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] berardi:
I love how everyone has their own way of fighting with OP. He wasn't trying to engage a fight simply saying that the Nexus had too many problems for his liking. I was very very close to leaving as well myself. If there was any comparable alternative I would have been gone long ago.

Why do you guys make excuses for Google? Nexus is for developers only? LOL guess u think this site is developers only too. Sure, stuff happens when your factory is in China... But this is excessive..

There needs to be accountability and quick corrective action (Google has taken some action, but not enough yet.) if we sit here and accept whatever garbage is fed to us, we will always be fed garbage simply because they can.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tweaked:
Tell you what, PM a mod and ask them this question. I bet you find out real quick how wrong you are. This site is only for developers. Everyone else is allowed to post because they allow it. You must be newer. When I joined if you even posted a topic such as this you'd one get ignored or flammed into oblivion and two most likely warned or straight up banned.

You fail to realize that without the devs this site is just a....forum.

The name of the forum is; XDA (delevelopers).....

Really some of you ppl...:o
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] berardi:
Xda developers, yes... How many people are developing for Xda? I guess we should all be banned. What kind of statement are u making did you even think before you post?

Yeah, maybe a mod thinks this site is only for developers... But I would like to see the reaction on the site owners face if you told him they have banned all non developers. Ad revenue instantly = 0

Historically the site was started for developers maybe but now I guarantee 90% of site content cannot be considered development. Unless you consider a million replies asking where to download Gapp zip for paranoid android development....

Stuff like the OP doesn't belong Development forum, but can you blame the guy for posting here? I went through 20 Nexus only to find out that it was a firmware issue. Google messed up royally...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mixalot2008:
I agree with everyone else. Apple is virtually the only company that doesn't have glitches out of the box. But as already stated this quad core tablet that's 229 apposed to apples dual core that has sub par res for 399 doesn't really seem comparable. If you knew it was gonna be like this why buy another one? Lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tweaked:
Add revenue? You mean that crap that Google chrome blocks from my browser? That stuff that barely even helps them maintain the cost to keep this place up? Lolz

Well I aint blaming him for anything. Well except for not researching before he bought. /sigh

And I have no clue what you are talking about with google messing up. My tablet is error free and has been since I opened it. I have never had an issue with any product I bought from them. 3 n4s (one for me and two for family) and 2 nexus 7 2013s.

20 you say? I call shenanigan's on your part.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] berardi:
Why are they advertising then? For fun?

Research that the Nexus has massive quality control issues? LOL funny I love how you try to find any reason to defend the defective device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tweaked:
You research. You'll find that your numbers are small.

Just from the sampling here on this site. less then 200 users total have come forward. Out of thousands. But you carry on sir.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] berardi:
You were the one saying he should have researched.. LOL

So you are saying research would have found nothing...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Grizzly420:
While my first tablet touch issues was crap and eventually it went dead in less than 2 weeks. My new one is simply bad ass. Incredible battery, almost zero light bleed, I have zero complaints. I haven't even rooted the Damn thing and it's a nexus. I am finding out after years of flashing sometimes it's nice for a device just to work. And I haven't seen any rom that has just made me jump up and got to have at this moment. Not taking anything away from the devs. I'm sure their roms are sweet. Its just my tablet has been doing everything awesome for what I need and no need to root or flash something else just yet. Sounds like op you should have returned yours if you weren't happy. My second one was like a completely different tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fysix:
I've had mine for a few weeks and haven't had any touchscreen issues. It's been quite the impressive device, especially for the price.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Oliv3:
What's with the smug comment? That isn't the point the OP is trying to make. And I've been watching your thread, "80-90%" of people on it still have issues that persists even after using your method. Not to mention losing your warranty for something that might not fix anything...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] notoriouspk:
I agree Google should do a better job with its products not just hardware but software too..multi-touch if it's a software issue it should have been fixed by the first OTA update cuz I paid for my device and Google provides the software for it.... these software guys at google take forever to fix a obvious issues like gps n multi touch... why should someone who paid from their pocket with no knowledge of Rom flashing n kernels even bother to try things... which void their warranty.. it's Google' s job n they su** at it... no its not coming from an apple fan but someone who likes android but thinks Google has to do better than this.... my device should work without any software glitches or hardware f ups ... and updates should be for optimizations....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
All I can say is you are mistaken on both these points.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
If you're worried about unlocking voiding the warranty, you can re-lock it just as easily after.

Other than the firmware being updated (and a smoother running tablet) there will be no sign of it having been done.

True, some people might not have seen improvement, but it's most likely to the touch screen being defective or wildly out of spec anyway.

That would still require a visit to Google/ASUS for repair.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
The N7 is a great tab that happened to be plagued with a software problem. MOST issues weren't until AFTER the latest 15Q update, where the multitouch issue was introduced.

ALL devices have their share of issues. I don't care if you have a Samsung, Apple, or Asus device... you are just trading problem for problem. Sure Apple or Samsung might have better quality control but you are also spending more then twice as much. Weren't Apple iPads and iPhones exploding last year?

The Nexus devices are dev devices. They are beta testers for latest and greatest Android Software. They became popular because they are sweet devices that are cheap and properly maintained.

I will admit that the 2013 N7 has been plagued with bad updated though. They retracted one already and 15Q just made things worse. Hopefully the next update will get it right and all will be good in the world. I'd advise to just wait a few months and try again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cowisland:
Just add some evidence, I think most devices, including those from Apple, have a good chance of a glitch. Just looking at the most recent iPhone 5, when it came out it would shut down wifi randomly and people would start updating apps over 4g, raking in huge VZW bills. I think it had a rapid battery drain issue as well. If I owned one I could probably think of others.

I did own iPhone 3g (not s) back in the day and definitely ran into a number of bugs, including one that wiped my wife's phone completely, destroying much valuable data. I then learned that the backup could not be restored due to (quote) an unknown error.

So, let's be a bit patient and most bugs will likely be resolved soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] The_Zodiac:
You should have exchanged it. Mine is perfect
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DoctorOhh:
I too think the OP should have returned his N7 at least once and tried another. But the idea that he should have "researched it" and we are "beta testers" is nonsense. My Nexus 7 (2012) never had one issue and I can't recall it ever rebooting. From that experience I would expect no less from their 2nd generation N7. This is Google's flagship consumer tablet not some developer beta test toy. Google (ASUS) should have done better.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
+1

Google should be embarrassed they released the 2013 Nexus 7 with so many problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
Embarrassed all of the way to the bank to deposit our money.

Note the almost complete silence from them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] detonation:
LOL. They are being sold in most consumer retail electronic stores and are advertised on nationwide commercials. The nexus 7 is no longer a developer device.

My nexus 7 2013 has no problems, but I can relate to what the OP is saying. Google's recent major updates to many of their popular apps (such as maps and music) have been buggy and missing features. Sure they look a lot better now, but that means nothing if they don't work. It seems their business model now is to release an incomplete update and then rebuild features in as they go, after people complain.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] veehexx:
No serious problems with mine at all. Aside from the speaker hiss on low volumes, and the odd time where it wont re-connect to my 5ghz-only SSID when i return home then my n7 has been flawless. Thinking about it... after a reboot a few days ago, I don't remember any wifi issues!

I don't agree with "it's going to be buggy, it's a dev device". Devs arent soly around to fix google issues; they need a stable and guaranteed good platform to build on so they can make apps. Afterall, how can they QC there own work and build 'touchscreen test' apps on a device that has touchscreen bugs :P

Ofcourse, i'm a technical user, but thats my take on how the dev world works. What goes out is only as good as what goes in...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dkb218:
What problems? I've have zero problems before or after the update. I would assume the 90% of those who own it would say the same thing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
I'm not the OP but that's the problem : 10% of users having problems is not negligible......! Especially when it is really more than that.

I loved my 2012 Nexus 7. Sure the speakers were lousy but the tablet worked fine, the keyboard didn't freeze, and no reboots. Actually thinking of going back to it. The pretty screen doesn't make up for the bugs requiring corrective OTA updates coming down one after the other with surely more to come. And denying the bugs doesn't make them go away. Google knows there are problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pepemosca:
Not even one reboot? You are lucky! After the OTA update... I have one reboot (minimum) per day.

I find this thread rather funny. No device is perfect, not even your beloved Apple you mention. Are there issues... you bet. Mine had a glob of Chinese special sauce on the back. However even with the sauce it worked well. Still does completely stock currently. No issues with my device except some app not made for tablets. Whats funny about OP is that you knew your device was screwy. Then you just say I give up. Product runs of all types have problems, especially first runs. Perhaps Nexus might be out of your league. Dare I say its the user, not the tablet?

Seriously good luck in finding a new device
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dev_up_10:
I agree with what you're saying. Google has hard some major quality control issues with the N7 2013 but I also feel ASUS fudged it up a bit on their end. Even though the TF101 is an old tablet now I've still been iffy about their products since then. Nonetheless I bought a N7 2013 and have only had a few reboots on my device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
Not to burst your bubble, but that's really silly. Even if all 990 posts were from unique individuals (which I doubt, many threads breed "advocates"), that would still be fractional compared to launch day Nexus 7 sales. People need to learn what sampling bias is.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
Strange. I have no problems with my Nexus 7. I did have a buggy GPS for one week before my tablet updated and fixed that issue.

Also strange that people point to Apple as a more reliable device. My iPad 3 had serious wifi connectivity issues and it took a lot longer to receive the update that fixed that issue. It also cost a lot more and did a lot less so I never upgraded to a newer version.

So I don't know what the OP is whining about. Maybe I'm just lucky because I've had far better experiences with Nexus devices than any other brand. Or maybe I'm just older and more patient.

my previous 2012 n7 got many problem. one of the first released. but nexus fixed it at no cost and changed screens and speakers.

better to wait 1 month or 2 until they fixed problem.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
The only real problem is the touchscreen one and I think that's due to different chips across the board. Over in the fix thread he had to made several versions to accommodate everyone. Just like mine was fine and broke after the update where others were broken and got fixed.

Perhaps Google didn't know about different chips being used and has to come up with a clever way to detect and fix multiple combinations.

Google will come through with a fix and we're fortunate to have an open system where XDA devs can write new drivers and give us temporary fixes today.

Another apple fanboy..

Apple devices r so great.. Blah blah blah
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] RKight:
I actually haven't had any major issues at all and definitely find it ironic to compare this device to anything Apple. The only Apple device I own, a 4th-gen iPod Touch, is on the newest (and final, being that it isn't iOS 7 compatible) update but has a major WiFi bug that will likely never be fixed. If it goes out of range of the current WiFi connection, or the connection is terminated (i.e., tethering to my phone), it will connect to WiFi again, when it's available, but will have zero internet connectivity until a reboot. It's very annoying to tether to my phone for Rhapsody on my way to work, only to have to perform a reboot to be able to do it again on the way home. Apple products aren't perfect either.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alicarbovader:
those who are thinking why google isn't quality controlling their devices, or why the nexuses, despite being beta devices, not meeting the standard, and blah blah blah. you seriously need to get a ****load of trucks :p

The thing is, nexus devices are meant for development. when you're developing, you don't consider why gmail doesn't look good in portrait mode, or why the upper left is having light bleeds (as in my case). You only care about enhancing the android in some way, so that others enjoy it, and you get the credit. However, if you want something bugfree, or fault free, something that's gone through tighter quality control, get some other brands, like Sony, HTC, Samsung, Nokia(in case my post is too old). These will get you your satisfaction, and competence with apples and mangoes of the market.

Don't complain about prices then. I say, I've got a huge bazooka in my hand, compared to my friends' iS#it, which looks like a tiny 9mm compared to my bazooka.
