[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drummer132132:
Thank you all for the great responses! They have helped in lowering my worries about receiving a faulty device and increased my desire to pick one up :)

I do have another question pertaining to Nexus devices in general. Do nexus devices "lag" over the course of time? I hate to mention the competition (aka Apple) but I know that over time their operating system doesn't lag very often as compared to Android devices (or at least that's what I've seen from friends etc who own Apple devices). My Galaxy SIII has been laggy to an extent and was wondering if this would be significantly less on a Nexus device. Devices in particular would be the Nexus 7 2013 model, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 (I know its not out yet but one can speculate).

Again thank you all for the responses.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] derpyderps:
Depends on how it lacs. The s3 is a dual core so it may lag when you throw a bunch of things at it. I have the note 2 with a 4core exynos and it still runs fine. The nexus 7 doesn't use a top of the line 4 core but it still packs a punch. I actually got the old nexus 7 because it was a bargain but I couldn't deal with it stuttering so bad. It had issues with the memory controller and the poor design of the tegra 3. I think Asus learned from their mistakes with this second release.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 441Excelsior:
I think about buying N7 2013 but I read here that it has many hardware issues, that prevents me from getting it..whats the chance I get faulty device?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swisstourist:
Buy it and you will see.

Duh!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] raptir:
Honestly, I've seen plenty of lag with Apple devices as well. My fiancee has an iPhone 4 and my mom has a 4S, and both run noticeably slower since the most recent update. Android systems tend to get laggy due to too much stuff installed/running on them and it can easily be fixed with a factory reset. Apple devices tend to get bogged down just due to system updates.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drummer132132:
I'm wondering if my experience with my sIII has simply made me more apprehensive about purchasing another android device in fear of it being "laggy" over the course of time. Technology has come along way since the sIII in terms of speed and from what I know stock android is pretty fast and not bogged down with bloatware that both Samsung and Verizon think we want. Also to be fair when I talk about "laggy" I'm not saying I'm unable to do things it's just noticeable on certain things but overall runs pretty smooth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 441Excelsior:
I don't wanna buy semi-working device so I'm collecting infos about hw issues before purchase
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] raptir:
The data just isn't there to give you a percentage of defective units. Plenty of people receive units without issues but plenty of people receive a unit with an issue.

http://xdaforums.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=15276

Based on that poll 15/18 people receive a unit without a defect. Keep in mind that one of the people in the thread said he exchanged it multiple times due to backlight bleed, which is (unfortunately) normal for an IPS LCD depending on the severity. Some of the people who answered "No issue" may have received a tablet with backlight bleed but compared it to other tablets and realized it's "normal."

Just buy it from somewhere with a good return/exchange policy and go from there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swisstourist:
Well my 2 tablets got problem. 2012 and 2013.

One returned 1 year later and they fix it. Screen lift, speaker blew out.

My 2013 just doesn't connect to USB very well and I have to charge with a qi.

I have 2 years warranty so once back in my country I contact nexus and they will fix it. I wait for defaults appearing, and you send it for repair before warranty expires. After this there is little chance than something fail. Like my old nexus, it was really crap when I sent it to nexus. , they fixed it changed screen at no cost, and now it works like new and it s 18 months old.

So buy it. Open it right away, test it. And if anything u don't like, bring it back for an exchange or refund.

Nexus has international repair. But some countries are harder to get it fixed.

Europe and USA no problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drummer132132:
So I decided to take the plunge and purchase a nexus 7 and unfortunately it did not go well. I managed to get my account rolling and began to download apps. During that process I decided to try out maps with the intention of testing the GPS and sadly it rebooted (this happened within 30 minutes of turning on the device). I am currently stuck at the colored "x" screen. Will not go any further. The manufacturing date was 2013.07 so I'm assuming it was made in July. Taking it back tomorrow to best buy to see if anything can be done but more than likely returning and asking for a new nexus 7 with a more recent manufacturing date. If issues persist I may just get my money back though I am looking at this as "glass is half full" since I really like stock android.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swisstourist:
I think usa model are crap.

In Europe people got less problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] angellsl:
Every device has its pros and cons, my n7 2013 serves me well as a media player and casual web browser. As a matter of fact, I ordered a lte version to take advantage of free 200mb data from t mobile. Will sell or gift my current wifi version. I'm also eyeing the latest bay trail win8 8in tablets. Will get one around black Friday

It's well known that Samsung continuously has 50% off coupon codes for you to use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] randpost:
Any item priced 50.00 or below get 50% off if you register your note 3. So a battery and charger costs 20.00.

That price is excellent.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Exactly. get two batter chargers for the price of one! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Forgive my ignorance. I thought the 50% off was for any one item 50 or below.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] randpost:
The coupon is for up to 5 items in a single order. Each item has to be under $50.00 msrp. The charger comes with battery included. So it's 1 item.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] iahk:
Samsung is really weird with the pricing of this. I noticed it back in my galaxy S II days when i was going through amazon shopping for oem accessories. So they have quite an odd history with their pricing structure with those accessories. I had to read through the item description like 3 times to make sure i was reading it right that the standalone battery charger came with an extra battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I saw this too. I was like who would be stupid enough to buy just a battery when you can get the one with a charger for same price. Samsung must be smoking the same thing as the government haha

Just a heads up, make sure you absolutely want to order from Samsung. Customer service is non-existent for order issues and defective items. Still sitting on defective Tectiles from the Note 2 era. Multiple emails have gone without a response and calling them turned into 30 minutes of being transferred to department to department with the end leading to a dead line.

- OEM Samsung wireless charging back cover;

- QI Wireless Charger Charging Pad + Receiver For Samsung Galaxy Note III 3 N9005 + original back cover;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/310776196909

- TYLT wireless charger; power cable;

Both chargers work just fine. It charges faster than I expected.

My Samsung wireless charging back cover makes a squeaking sound when I am holding the phone. It's on the right side where my middle finger touches the cover.

It may be a defective one or a design flaw. Hard to say.

But I would totally recommend the oem back cover over the cheap charging pad with the original cover any day. Unless you want to use a cover to protect your phone. I don't use any cover.

Why?

First of all, they are uncomparable. OEM cover is very well built and it protects the camera lens and flash. Plus it makes your Note 3 looks nicer since the back cover is totally flat - no bump around the camera.

The TYLT Vu charger has 3 coils so it charges and place the phone in any position.

I'm gonna end all speculation to this working on the D800 (ATT) now, The D800 has an extra mic that the D801 and D802 don't have, the code has to actually be implemented to get audio working on our device the D800, theres are reason why we don't have a build yet, it hasnt been finished yet/started. Also the kernel needs to have the ATT specific DTB attached to it (Device Tree) so no its not a matter of simply Lokifying the kernel and flashing, it won't work even if u do that, This is straight from Dalingrin himself, as I've spoken to him over IRC a few times about an ATT build.

He's currently hard at work fixing TMO issues once that is done, Dalingrin said he will try to work on ATT, which I will be testing a basic build for him. Unfortunately both Dalingrin and Arcee (responsible for the D802 bring up) arent quite sure yet what to do to get the audio working with the extra mic on ATT. So it will be a bit of time before our build gets sorted out.
