Current 32Gb owners feel free to aviod this topic if you wish, I know you're answer will contain bias
Multitouch issues, GPS issues, random reboots. All making headlines in the tech media. When I see this I have to ask myself do I REALLY want to entrust this company with the higher priced model? I mean it's $40 ok I get it. But when it comes to customer satisfaction and not wanting to get burned you have to draw the line somewhere.
No matter what, you're not going to get burned.
They have a 1 year warranty.
The extra memory, given non expandable storage just makes sense.
If your that concerned about quality control, why buy it in the first place ?
Personally in going for more memory, because I think I may need it.
Also yeah, warranty is included (and you can always flash stock)

Just like The_Zodiac said. If you are that concerned, why buy it? You're not buying a faulty tablet. You're buying a tablet that has a possibility of being faulty. Let's just say that there is something wrong, why wouldn't you just exchange it for a new one?

No, I wouldn't trust this thing if it were given to me for free. Like most of you, I'm on my second one. Some of you are even on your third or fourth one. At that point, why not just return the thing for good or deal with the issues? You shouldn't have to return a tablet this many times in order to get a properly functioning one. This is absolutely unacceptable.
I'm worried about quality control because bad quality control shouldn't exist on such a large scale with these tablets. ASUS has had plenty of time to make a tablet properly. From their own Transformers to their other tablets all the way to the first gen Nexus 7. All of them have problems and it's annoying because you'd think after making so many, you'd figure out how to do it right, or at least bring the problem rate down low enough.
You pretty much of a 75% chance of getting a tablet with some issue that manifests itself only after you really start using the damn thing.
Come on Google, get Samsung on this.
Still on my first 32gb, no problems at all. No multi touch issues, no reboots, no dead pixels. I think one of the big problems is that you only hear the bad stuff, you don't hear from the satisfied customers.

This is the problem with these forums.. people come here to complain but don't post when they are satisfied with the product.. as such every little problem is blown out of proportion.. I have this tablet for the past 5 days and yet to face any problems.. All in all highly satisfied with my purchase.. 32 GB is a good option if you keep a lot of media or a heavy gamer.. otherwise 16 gb is good enough ..
First and foremost there is no product released till date that doesn't have some problems... if you are worried about it that you might get a faulty product then you should not buy any electronic item as there is a negligible chance that it may be faulty..
So, if you really want enjoy the nexus experience trust your gut and go ahead.. you will never be able to understand whether you will get a good product or a bad one by asking these questions in a forum

Im loving my 2nd Gen.
I have run it though all of the faults my original nexus 7 had like the flickering screen at low brightness etc etc and its not given me one single problem.
I say if you have a 16GB or God forbid the 8GB 1st gen like I pre ordered GET THE 32! I did and I love it.
Rooted it and put TWRP on it as soon as I got home running the Cyanogen nighties now.:angel:
I have no problem here. Work flawlessly. :good:
We have 2 of these 2013 32GB N7s at home.
None of them have shown any of the issues mentioned.
GPS works flawlessly on both of them(use mine daily driving around Houston)
Screen had been impeccable - no light bleed, no dead pixels, no multi-touch issues.
Having been burned before by ASUS on the Prime and disappointed by the Infinity, I bought this with a very critical eye on everything hardware related. That's why I skipped on the first N7. If there was just an iota of something wrong with the unit I have, it would have been returned in a heart beat.
I ended up buying a second one for the rest of the family. This one's mine :laugh:
Glad to see ASUS finally step up...and hope it lasts longer than a device life-cycle.

Exactly.
I do have the GPS issue and a reboot usually fixes it, at may or may not stop working the rest of the trip.
The touchscreen grounding issues is annoying. If it laying on a table or mounted in my car it touch screen may become unresponsive at times. Picking it up in my hands and it seem to work fine. This issues are annoying, but I'm still keeping my tablet.
Not sure I will be buying Asus products in the future.

Same here. On my first 32GB model that I bought from my local Best Buy 2 days before the "official" release date. No issues whatsoever with mine! I completely agree that happy customers don't get on the Web to praise the tablet for working good, where as unhappy customers do get on the Web to discuss the issues that they're having! Also, I don't know of a single electronic device that doesn't have some issues with some of the products that made their way to the general public's hands! I simply don't think it's possible to have 100% perfect Quality Control for any company...

Isn't it unfortunate how some people just assume that if they're having a problem then everyone MUST be having the same exact problem! Lol
Anyway.
OP, your question should have been - Do you trust this tablet enough to spend ANY money on it. If you don't trust the device then you shouldn't spend a dime on it! As others have already said, if you're willing to spend $230 for the 16GB model, then spending $270 for the 32GB model is a no-brainer on a device that doesn't have removable storage, IF you need the storage. If you're willing to spend $230 for it, then $40 more isn't a problem. Plus you do get a 1 year manufacturer warranty with the device, so that will take care of natural issue if by chance you do have one. If you have the option to buy at a local store, then I think that is your best choice.
What I'm trying to say is this - You SHOULD NOT be contemplating the $40 difference in storage options based on trust. You SHOULD be contemplating making the purchase at all if you're concerned about it.
That said, I have ZERO issues with mine and couldn't be happier! I already have a 10" tablet and a 5.5" phone, but this 7" tablet fits nicely in between and serves it's on purposes for different scenarios. I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

Exact same thing here (GPS every now and then... been a few days now) and unresponsive multi when ungrounded. But I have to believe Asus/Google will swap it out f they decide it's not a software thing.
If you are somewhere where a swap would e an issue though, I don't know OP. Check it out thoroughly before taking it too far
My first device had uneven gaps on the bezels. My 2nd one has been flawless. I have had no issues at all.

I sold my Galaxy S2 yesterday so with the extra cash I acquired, I'm set on purchasing the Nexus since it always has insane developer support.
My only gripe is, I've been observing these forums for a while and I can't help but to see countless posts and many threads about problems with this phone.
I've read from phones boot-looping for no reason, screen issues, and other hardware defects that makes me wonder where Samsung's quality management has gone...
So I want to hear from you guys, have you had any problems/replacements/RMAs? I really want to get this phone but the problems are slowly wearing my wants.
Oh, and also it's extra hard since I won't be able to have warranty of some sort or have easy returns since my buying choices so far are amazon and ebay...
Forums are meant for people to discuss problems and complain.. I'm sure there are thousands of people who have no problems at all. People don't come to forums like this one to discuss how awesome their phone is. I have the GSM and my fiance has the verzion version and we haven't experienced many of the things discussed here.
Its the best phone on the market right now. Go get it!

Okay, well up until I got my Galaxy Note yesterday I thought this was the most beautiful screen I'd ever seen. Don't ever do a side-by-side to the Note because the awe will wear off very quickly. The Galaxy Nexus has very obvious banding at lower brightness levels although you won't really see any blobs. (I haven't anyway.) The lack of SD card won't immediately bother you but sooner or later it will cross your mind. The phone does have a tendency to occasionally and randomly reboot. I haven't had the issue in a couple weeks although before that it was happening at least once a day for a couple weeks. Some games on the Galaxy Nexus have multi touch issues. Screen-on time will be significantly shorter than that of the GS2. (About 4 hours is the max.) Other than that, I would still recommend it. I've never looked back after getting rid of my GS2 but I feel you should know the facts before making a decision and potentially being unhappy about it. If you have more questions, I'll be glad to answer if possible.

Well, just dont buy anything second hand. dont wanna land yourself a first batch gnex. the first batch are the ones with the most problems, especially the screen. the made in china ones are the newer batch and seem to have sorted out some screen problems. not everything made in china is bad these days lol.

I have the gnex and have to say that I have no complaints except for the radios and battery life on 4g. Call quality isnt as good as my old droidx, but the 4.0.4 radios seem to have helped a little.
Other than that i love this phone, I've thought about trading for a razr but I just cant bring myself to do it. There are not enough advantages of doing so. I have had no random reboots or other quirky issues.
Ok my honest opinion. Coming from the fact I feel 50/50 about it. I wouldn't of bought it if i'd had two weeks to test it.
Pros:
Screen is excellent
ICS looks nice
Sound quality through headphones is good
Sat Nav works well
Cons:
Loudspeaker is far too quiet
Back cover creaks and clicks like cheap junk
Vibrate is not powerful enough
Graphics in apps & games are a little slow and laggy
Camera is average at best.
Most of the plus points of the phone I would say are thanks to ICS, most of the cons of the device are hardware, in my opinion.

Not trying to be a fanboi here but there are some flaws with what you are saying.
I have had 3 different GNexus's and none of them have had this terrible banding issue that everyone is talking about. Maybe I am blind, maybe I am stupid, but this is just a non issue for me.
I have yet (In 4 months of owning the device) to have a problem with not having an SD Card. Not having to worry about an SD Card failing and me losing all my backups actually makes me feel better/safer.
Never had a random reboot trying almost all the ROMs and most kernels out there (Maybe just lucky?)
Multi touch issue is a problem that was fixed in 4.0.4 and can also be fixed in 4.0.3 by turning your screen off and on.
Bigger screen, more pixels, probably brighter, of course screen on time will be less.
This phone has some issues but what you point out here are minor (In my case) and just want to give the OP both sides of the story.
i really wanted to get this phone and now with all these issues with screen problems, storage space corruption etc. is seriously putting me off, i mean what the heck is this, it's meant to be their flagship device

I'm inclined to agree with the title, while I dislike the phone for other reasons HTC have annoyed me hugely with the whole "we've listened to the customers and unlocked the bootloader" lie.
The handset itself has been fine, no flex or screen problems and it takes a good picture. I suspect it will scratch the camera lens in regular use though (as did my Desire) but that's not the killer. While some people may find the built in memory and sealed battery to be fine, I don't.
It's being returned after six days of use/learning the foibles of the phone and I'll go back to my old handset for the time being. This isn't aimed at bashing the One X for all those who are about to jump on me for posting an opinion, just pointing out that there are those of us who have tried it and found it wanting. What will I look at next? Dunno and this isn't really the place to speculate. Quite sad about it really as the HOX has already attracted a decent developer base, there's quite an impressive who's who of developers from the Desire ROM sub forums around.
I have had mine for at least a month and have yet to have any problem that you described above. Go get one and see for yourself. Its definitely a great device, probably best I've ever had and thats hard for me to say considering I usually prefer Samsung. HTC did an excellent job with this phone.
Now is a good time to get one. Just got mine from Phones4U free on a 12mo contract at £36 a month

No problei here despite reading the stories on here before. I experienced the issues that the large HTC windows mobile had, can't remember its name now. Had no problems with desire and desire hd or sensation. Got mine off eBay for 350 including the beats headphones new, bargain in my opinion. A work of art this phone. Light as a feather.
The only thing that's noticeable is the off white screen colour, I cant tell if its a yellow tint or blue tint really. Should be fixed with software upgrades? Fingers crossed!

as much as i disagree with the way you are handling the whole issue here specially with your language i also have to agree with you with the whole HTC thing though. if i knew what kinda faults the phone had from the start i would of gone for the Nexus. But as time goes and after 3 replacements i still kinda have a phone with a very thin gap...not noticeable but still you know it is there and a tad creak if you press hard on the left hand side of the phone..but still i will keep this as everything else is functional and the phone is a beast...with a nice case i bought and the pouch i have a great phone....it is down to you what you want to do but i would advice to handle your frustrations in a better manner good luck with what you choose
Im pissed off cos ive not really got any problems to report and feel as if ive been left out the party!!
Dam you HTC, why did you make my device fault free?
;-)
Well I admit maybe I shouldn't have freaked out, I've been eagerly awaiting this phone and then whilst checking these forums to ensure no major issues, I find there are a ton of issues, I mean wtf??
I'm not going to risk buying a phone unless I know there's a chance it will be a good working model.

Hi everyone!
I'm a LG O3D user (with great regrets...) and I have the possibility of a (almost) new ONE X, unbranded for €300.
I know that every phone as its issues, and I've read the foruns in search of those issues in the ONE X, but wanted to have a deeper insight on the everyday life with this one.
I really like HTC and having owned a Hero, and knowing the support (at least here in Pt) is good, I'm really thinking of it.
Thank you very much!
I have had no problems with my One X, but from what I have read there are a few things you should check out before buying.
Check the wi-fi signal, GPS signal consistancy.
I think those 2 are the most common problems and the most annoying ones. I read also something about a gap between the screen and case, but not sure about it.
All of those can be checked out easily (10-20 minutes) before buying, so make sure you do that! You would not want to shell out 300 to find out wi-fi does not work, or you GPS is incredibly inacurate.
Thanks for the info!
I'm testing it tomorow or the day after.
Whats your thoughts on the battery life?

Battery life is surprisingly good for me. After the first couple days i easily get over 12 hours before reaching 20%. Must say i love that the phone drains almost no battery when listening to music in my experiences.

The wifi issue normally doesnt substantiate until a couple of weeks in use, and so does the screen flickering issue. So far popular know issues include:
1) Bad battery life (~ 2 hr of screen time)
2) Over heating after 5-10minutes in use
3) GPS issue
4) Screen flex issue
5) Screen flickering (mostly solved)
6) Antenna issue
7) 3G connection
8) Gaps
9) Sense issues
And before you buy this you should pray to your lucky star that you wont get a dud one. I've seen people on this forum going thru so much stress w HTC and this phone.
Battery life there are days I think not bad and on others I ask myself what the hell? Despite having my phone for around 4 or 5 months I still do notice drops of 3-5% in battery life. I can't really make my mind up for this device. I can't tell if htc is going to improve anything on this device anymore or if that's just as good as it gets. It'll be best if you just end up expecting nothing from HTC. That will save you from having expectations that wont be met anyway.
Edit: by the way there is a battery life thread with a trillion posts in it. Just open it and come up with a conclusion yourself. Be warned though, you might see people with around 5 to 6 hours of screen time which seems really questionable to me. I would say the people posting screen times of anywhere between 2 to 4 hours 30 minutes screen time are legit.

Well, I come from the LG world of not giving a Sh!t about costumers...
How's the HTC support treating those cases?
You think it is a bad buy?

The wifi issue normally doesnt substantiate until a couple of weeks in use, and so does the screen flickering issue. So far popular know issues include:
1) Bad battery life (~ 2 hr of screen time)
2) Over heating after 5-10minutes in use
3) GPS issue
4) Screen flex issue
5) Screen flickering (mostly solved)
6) Antenna issue
7) 3G connection
8) Gaps
9) Sense issues
And before you buy this you should pray to your lucky star that you wont get a dud one. I've seen people on this forum going thru so much stress w HTC and this phone.

One X user (Tegra version) since one week. Switched to the CM10 preview this weekend. Very good phone, battery life is on par with the rest. If you check the points mentioned above (also make sure the power and volume buttons are responsive), that sounds like a good deal. ROM community is very active, JB support already almost flawless. Also, the screen is the best I have seen on a phone so far.

Just go get a sgs3. You can expect a crappy design plus a display not as nice as the one x in my opinion. But you also get to have a better performance, little to no lag, much better battery life.probably less hardware faults etc. (You at least know what you can expect and you actually get it)

Honestly I think HTC has been playing the blame games and time buying strategies to the extent of ignoring customers and treating like crap. But still better than LG as far as I have known. And as someone has said, if you want a better chance of getting a drama free phone better get the SGS3, as much as I hate Samsung. But you're not gonna have that beautiful hardware and AMAZING screen (funny how i say this since I dont own it lol).
This is a co-worker who's selling its ONE X, so no S3 option for me...
I'm having a lot of trouble in knowing what to focus on, because from what I see (read), there are issues (as with every single phone), and I think the important part is the support by HTC being good.
On that point (HTC support), what do you think? Any experience with them?

Long term htc users: "HTC supporrt is great, they might lack a little at first, but sooner or later(probably they mean later) they will just nail the update properly and it will all function nicely."
first time HTC user(myself): i've yet to see any of the support and i honestly feel like i'm not in good hands but i'm still open for them to prove it. The only reason i haven't completely given up on htc is because of the people who have been with htc for a much longer time. They seem to have a much different opinion of HTC and their updates and what not.
Oh yeah, not to forget, rooting/flashing can void your warranty *HIGH FIVE*
in my opinion to have your HOX function properly, you're gonna want to root.
edit: since it's a co-worker you're probably going to be getting it cheaper, right? Which will probably make the OneX more worthy of its price.
First thing you're going to want to do is check if his bootloader says "unlocked" or "relocked" or "locked" - this would make it possible for you to lower the price and get it even cheaper
Well on the update point, I think LG just trumps every single brand on the market... They simple don't give us any... LOL
Regarding the list of possible issues, do you think it can be easily observed? or its more of a wear-by-time kind of thing?

Honestly! When i got this phone i was the happiest person on earth until i noticed a few problems here and there and this just ruined the overall user experience. There's something about this phone that tells me i want to keep it. Design is gorgeous, sometimes i just turn the phone around just to admire the awesome look of how it's built. When the problems start to pile up, however, you get really unsatisfied.
With later batches i heard the phone is supposed to be pretty good and problem-free. I believe the main issues that you won't see immediately is the WLAN issue and maybe a bit of a screen gap. Haven't really been hearing much of the flicker issues anymore.
How to notice the WiFi issue i'd suggest a google search or for you to look around @ xda forums. I don't really feel like explaining it. Actually, youtube should help you in this case --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKCJ4Ab2tIo
Well, being a smartphone user for some time, I can relate with that feeling...
I'm going to buy it, sell my O3D, and may the gods of smartphone be with me!
Thank you so much for your help.
P.S. It will cost me €300, being that here in Pt, a new unlocked one costs €700...

Hi everyone!
I'm a LG O3D user (with great regrets...) and I have the possibility of a (almost) new ONE X, unbranded for €300.
I know that every phone as its issues, and I've read the foruns in search of those issues in the ONE X, but wanted to have a deeper insight on the everyday life with this one.
I really like HTC and having owned a Hero, and knowing the support (at least here in Pt) is good, I'm really thinking of it.
Thank you very much!

No, I won't buy it right now. Since the last android 4.1.2 (JB) many users (including me) are experiencing casual and frequent reboots (most likely due to the proximity sensor) and neither Google or Samsung are providing decent support or answers for this major issue (it happens very frequently during calls).
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37485
So delay the purchase or chose another phone; take in consideration a Galaxy 3 if you can afford it, but check in advance if there are outstanding major problems, or a Galaxy 2 that you can get for a cheap price, or an HTC.
You have been warned, buy it a t your risk because Samsung/Google support sucks.
Funny post.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'd buy one. Mainly for the fact - 1. If the next nexus is the rumored LG one - It won't have a super amoled screen PLUS the GN looks better. 2 - Software updates would still be awesome for the nexus in spite of another one coming out. 3 - Amazingly cheap.
I broke my nexus on my birthday 2 days back and I'm thinking of buying another one. I had an option to choose between a Nexus, an S3, a note 2 and an iFag 5. I've used them all (Except the iFag) - And trust me, the feel of the GNex can never be beaten.

wow, basically anything you say at this point has no merit. You come to the nexus forum to talk bad about the nexus. You say 'many users' but I would like to see this data. You know this might be a shock to you but sometimes phones are faulty when they ship out and you likely have one of such phones. Contact support and get it replaced. I can only relate my experience, I haven't had a random reboot on my phone since I bought it in july. Also your speculations for the reboot issue is pretty random stabs in the dark, or just roll back to 4.1.1 instead of flashing 4.1.2 just because it's new.
Also notice every phone you list you talk bad about in your signature, im willing to bet its the hand that is holding your phones lol
Personally, the thing that's keeping me from jumping to the next phone is vast array of dev support. There's so many ROMs, kernels, mods (like PGM, trickster) to tweak and customize your phone with. Sure, the hardware is becoming quickly lackluster but in the end it should be the user experience (which can be highly tailored to your liking) that counts.
Easy to root and install roms, first in line for android upgrades for the time being and has adequate hardware. Not bad if you can get it for cheap. :good:
Buy it man, it still worth it, just bought it yesterday and hold it for 8hours no single lag so far, and you never found not working list on any rom
No reboot or anything, battery life still acceptable imo.

Wait until that ugly LG Nexus comes out then buy the GNex as the price will probably drop.

My comment has merit and provides, to the guy asking for support in taking a decision, a useful information. Since there are thousands of users with this outstanding major problem, I gave a suggestion based of facts. I do not speculate, me as well as other thousands users have come to this conclusion; we wouldn't guess if only Samsung or Google had provided an answer. BTW I already provided the info regarding this issue.
If you are happy with this phone, and you do not suffer this outstanding major issue, just provide a "BUY" opinion, instead of bashing others, and respect other community members.
Regarding my phones I've been a happy owner of the HD2, sadly the digitalizer broke for the 3rd time, the only reason to buy a Nexus.
The OMNIA is a crap phone ...yet another Samsung...
I'm not, luckily, one of those "fanatic" that feels enthusiastic about a phone only because they have spent some bucks on it. If something sucks, it sucks. So far is "NO BUY".

This issue seems to affect s significant percentage of recent phones. If you look at the link provided you'll see that the thread has been opened just recently and most likely this is the reason why there is no post here.
The other reason is that is someone should ever dare to discuss it here, blaming this marvelous piece of technology, he would be banned by Nexus fanatics, instead of trying to figure out a solution
GSM Nexus:
Pros:
- gets updates immediately and supported twice as long as carrier Android phones
- not bloated
- nice development
- can use on Tmo or Att
- decent price
- carrier unlocked
- good mid-range phone
- easy to root
- can use with a pre-paid sim to save a lot of money over carriers
Cons:
- old hardware doesn't run the latest version of Android lag free IMO, but does an OK job. Even overclocked it stutters at times.
- screen has good blacks but is yellow and grainy, will have to adjust it via root
- one of the worst cameras I have ever had on a smartphone
- wifi signal is garbage
- speaker is garbage
Sure, it has quite a bad speaker, dancing battery cover, for some not-so-good screen,... But in my opinion, it's the only phone worth buying. I have it for almost a year now, and I didn't have a single problem, it works like a Swiss clock. This phone is pure magic. Just buy it.

I don't think it has a bad speaker at all, using some apps such as Volume+ fixes it.
Battery cover: never had a problem at all.
Screen: no problems, using a kernel with color changer support makes it even more amazing.
I know that the things I've mentioned above are fixable one way or another but it's fair to point them out. Like I said, I wouldn't buy any other phone. But still, build quality is quite poor, tbh. And that's the only thing that can't be fixed by a simple app or kernel.

I have an iPhone 5 I'm using as an Ipod and was looking to sell it. Was looking at tablets and was thinking nexus 7 2013, LG gpad 8.3 and the Samsung galaxy note 8.0. I liked the other one since they have. Bigger screens but their development is at a minimum while the nexus has a lot of roms and support. Is the hardware subpar as some would suggest? Is wifi connection a problem over time? Would just like to know what's really happening before I make my purchase. Thanks appreciate all input.

Ive had mine for a week and loving it.
Coming from a 1st gen Kindle fire, this is much better. Kindle I would have to turn wifi off if not actively using it.
Here, I'm actually leaving wifi on 24/7 and also not even plugging it in at night.
Left it idling at work all day, lost about 9% battery. Went to sleep, woke up, 2% gone.
Actually just checked stats, 81%, Not charging
1d 6h 2m on battery. To me, thats good.
I even watched a whole 50min tv show and lost I think 2%.
I'm liking it. Only time I seen the battery go nuts and the device get hot was when I was with Google Earth.
So far no screen problems. I sometimes feel I had a tap on keyboard no detect, but when I tested in a multi touch tester, everything looks fine.
Plus I got mine on sale at staples, so $150, cant go wrong.
I'm wondering about the touch issues as well. Maybe I should just buy one at a big store so i can return it if I have any problems.

Touch issues is truly a hit-or-miss. Your device might have issues, as well as it might not. I had 2 devices (16gb which I returned for 32gb) which both had very mild touchscreen issues.
Get it! The display is just awesome (I've had no prob's) - ^ man $150 is a scream'n deal!

Lucked out. staples $229, microcenter price match to 199, then a 2day $50 off coupon.
They had no 32gb in stock. When I went to another that had it, I was too stressed to deal with an exchange.
Microcenter matched the 32 to 229, so with 50 off coupon could have been had for 179.

I am also planning to buy one. Is there any batch which has no problems? I use HTC one x and few had hardware WiFi problems. So august batch was perfect as HTC admitted the issue which i bought. Since with my budget this is the best tab I am kind of leaned towards it. But I can't have one which has any problem coz In my country there is no replacement warranty for nexus devices. Is there any way to check the batch number to get a perfect device?
what kind of support does Google give for devices with multi-touch issues. I really dont want to have to deal with that.

Other than sending it back on your own dime? None.
Google doesn't have a physical store like Apple, which I sorely missed. Not to mention the almost ZERO support from Google on any issue, judging by the posting in Google product forum. I.e. multi touch, Wi-Fi, Google Now, etc.
This is why forum like XDA exist.

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread to ask my questions here but do you feel the tablet functions lag-free, choppy and fault-free even without having to root the device? I mean, all I need the tablet to do is to function without any faults or lag, which I would appreciate I could accomplish without having to risk rooting the device which itself has caused issues for many.
Secondly, plenty seemingly report that updating the OS poses more and more problems for them so would you suggest sticking to the same OS that the tablet runs out of the box instead of updating it anytime?
Finally, there's no Google or Apple store in the country where I reside. Would you suggest buying this or Apple iPad (3rd Generation) keeping in view the chances of hardware/software failures of the two tablets. If there are any other suggestions you might wanna make, please go ahead.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah this tablet has to many problems in my opinion. All these issues and Amazon reviews list so many problems or others report that after a while everything starts breaking down. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean quality control and build quality should be so bad. I'm going to go with LG gpad 8.3. Rock solid build and pretty great performance and features. Was $350 but this weekend price dropped to about $270. Yes you may not get those updates fast or even ever but it seems like updates are hurting the nexus 7 anyway from all the reports i read. Google is really dropping the ball.

I suppose you are right, especially considering there are so many genuine issues riding the device and there is no support in my country form Google AT ALL. Thanks so much for introducing me to the LG G Pad 8.3; I had no knowledge of that one. Seems nice but I was beginning to consider SONY Xperia Z Tab but after some research, I discovered that that tab had issues of its own including genuine lag on the tablet.
I guess LG G Pad 8.3 is my best bet right now. Can you recommend some place that ships internationally and is actually reliable and offers the best price on the LG G Pad 8.3 INCLUDING where you might be getting it from? I did stumble upon newegg's latest offering here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834325004
I was wondering if you'd recommend this or someplace else.
I would be glad to hear from you soon.

It's really sad what Google is doing to their products. They need to drop ASUS because their quality is really low. Yeah the LG G Pad is looking really good to me right now. Sorry I live in the US so I don't know much about international Shipping. Currently New egg has the best deals on this tablet so you can shop around on their. Haven't seen any better deals Yet. Let me know how tit works for you. And yes I also discovered about the G Pad browsing the forums. Before I purchase a device I do extensive research On it. Many have complained about the nexus 7 2013's quality and hardware problems and in Comparison LG has very little. In fact I believe its because no ones knows abut the LG Tab yet so its not widely Known. Its a really good deal in my honest opinion. Great hardware and software. I compared to the Note 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and 7.0 but the Samsung's seems really inferior at this point. Low screen density and Slow processors. I guess to each his own however, some people just like touch wiz. In Fact I have a Note 2 and in Terms of phones i prefer Samsung but their tablets or at last the small ones are really lagging behind right now.
