Is everyone with problems using the 16gb?

I bought a 32gb Nexus 7 (flo) from a guy off Kijiji 2 days ago. Honesty i was worried this tablet was a piece of ****, based on all the issues people are having.
-my gps has tested working perfectly
-battery life is great
-have yet to have a single reboot or freeze
-was a breeze to unlock and root
-sound is perfect
I am actually shocked at how well this thing performs overall. Guess i should be thankful based on all the posts about problems...

16 gig here working perfect.

I had a 16 GB. It appeared to have major touch screen issues (middle third of the screen wasn't responding). After 4 factory resets and some resting time, that issue seemed to have disappeared. It had no dead pixels. I didn't mess with gps. I probably didn't have it long enough to experience reboot issues. I actually ended up believing it was a pretty good one (first run d60, June). I returned it because it just wasn't that much better than my original N7.

Yeah, agree with you on the "not a big difference between the two". My brothers N7 from last year is pretty damn simaler performance wise. But, for a budget tab, i haven't seen anything better. Was torn between this and the Note 8.0... Still am as i got hooked on the s-pen lol.
In all reality however, i dont recall seeing a thread with so many "something doesn't work" posts in a long time...

If I didn't already have the original, I would be very happy with the flo model. VERY HAPPY! just didn't see $245. (Tax) worth difference.

Nope, have to agree with you on that. As well i dont remember (might be wrong) the power and volume buttons being so awkwardly positioned on the original. These things are hard to hit... But i ordered this case yesterday, hopefully it will guide the fingers a bit better.

The buttons. Yes, very difficult for me to use on the flo model because, like the original, they are tucked "around the bend," but they do not extend out much at all--and are quite soft. Others may prefer the new type, though.

I got mine from a guy on Craig list. I was nervous but I got it brand new and saved $50. Jesus was on my said because so far no problems I never had a tablet before I'm most impressed on battery life )

I have a 16GB that has some of the touch (not registering when grounded issues) and multitouch (when crossing axis) issues. Both are very minor, and less apparent when the screen protector is removed (which might be for good once I find a case I like).
But I did try a 32GB at two different stores, and two different build months (06/2013 and 07/2013) and both had the issues. On all models I have tested the issues is there, you just have to be precise in testing for it (test on different surfaces, with and without screen protector, etc).
So either the issue is extremely widespread, or I have incredibly bad luck
Keeping the 16GB for now because it was actually the best of the three.

No issues at all with my 16g
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I got a damn near perfect 16gb.
>^.^< Sent from meow HTC One which is like catnip to me atm

16 GB here, got it 2 days before the 'official' launch from Walmart, it's a 0585 model.
Wife also has a 16GB model that we got from Walmart a few days ago.. 0585 model as well, and her experience mirrors mine.
Quick rundown of issue people are claiming:
1.) Zero Light bleed. None, zero, zilch... in fact, this is my first tablet where I have zero light bleed issues.. impressed so far.
2.) Zero GPS issues. Before some tool comes in and claims I'm not using it enough: I drove to Colorado (Eagle Area) from St Louis and back using it as navigation, via Waze. When I was on location, I used Google earth to track my location off the main paths, and used Google maps to find the hotel and a couple of restaurants while we were out there. So if you're going to claim I'm not using it enough to experience the GPS issues, please inform me how you've used yours over 2000 miles over multiple states, and programs... Only time GPS dropped out, is through the tunnels in the mountains. (Sorry for the slight rant, getting sick of some people claiming every one of these units has a problem, and when people show theirs is working fine.. they're told they're not using it enough to see the issues)
3.) Zero Screen color issues. As a photographer, color and the appearance of my photos are important. The screen color accuracy is pretty spot on, with a very slight hint on the warm side.
4.) Zero Multitouch issues... aside from when you put 10 fingers on the display.. and then the problem is that there's not enough space to accurately use 10 fingers
5.) Wifi - On par with my laptop's 6200 series for signal strength... no weirdness.
6.) Bluetooth - Aside from the quirky issues 4.3 has with *some* BT devices in general, this unit seems to perform as well as any other BT device I have.
7.) Reboots - Truth is, I've seen this once, and so has my wife. (Just once per device) On mine, I was using Living Social to see if we had any local deals to where we were at, and after scrolling the app for a few mins, the device rebooted. Since I've only seen this happen one time, I'm chalking it up to a software/app issue. The wife's happened while we were on location in Colorado.. we were reviewing a few shots on both tablets, and she had her tablet sort of wedged into a standing up (landscape) position in the car.. she claims the unit rebooted on her, but the uptime on the unit states otherwise... I suspect the screen turned off, and she assumed it rebooted.
8.) Battery - Wife's has been on battery for 4 days now (fairly idle since we got back) and is showing approximately 68% available. She's still getting notifications, and has used it to listen to music around the house.. so I don't think this is entirely accurate for idle battery life I've gotten roughly 18 hours of 'active' use out of mine (off and on, obviously) running about 30-50% brightness. As you crank the brightness on this little sucker up, the battery life does suffer. Have ran mine completely dead a few times.. not because of the battery life, really.. but because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to plug it in (even if I'm sitting right next to an outlet) half the time.
9.) Uptime - Lotta people are claiming theirs reboots an awful lot... Can't speak for that here...as of this second, I'm at 81:34:52, mainly due to my previously mentioned problem of being too lazy to charge it
So... to answer the original post question..... Nope.. no problems with 2x 16GB, heavily used, units here.

[Q] Recently broke my 1st gen nexus 7 screen is it worth getting a new 2013 nexus 7?

Hi, I recently dropped, cracked my screen and broke the digitizer on my year old 1st generation Nexus 7.
I have two options:
1) Buy a new 2013 nexus 7 for 288$AUS
2) Replace my screen myself for 60$AUS off eBay with the risk of breaking my screen or tablet. I could also get scammed with a faulty or broken replacement screen
Please Note:
-Replacing the old Nexus 7's glass requires replacing the whole screen which ends up getting expensive.
-Replacing the Screen officially costs about 170$
I would like people's opinions on the new nexus 7 and is it worth the upgrade?

If you can get the Google play edition of the lg g pad in Australia you should go for that instead. Lg is superior hardware wise. Better build quality. Read about the touch problems of the n7 -13.

I own the Nexus 7 for 3 months now. I've never had any mentioned issues with the touchscreen or random reboots.
It's a wonderful piece of hardware especially the display. Just love it.
On the down side it looks kind of fragile. The plastic on the sides of the screen, top device has few bruises although I don't remember ever dropping or hitting it against something.
All in all its a great value for the money.

I like my nexus 2013 but after owning it for a while now I would recommend buying the old one brand new again, the overall shape and build is better IMO and as long as u don't need the upgraded screen I would save your money.

I didn't do much research, but it looks like the Google play edition is not available yet and the regular edition is 400$. My maximum budget is around 300$. The old N7 did have reports of bad build quality, bad touch screen and also random reboots but i was willing to take the risk and had no problems with it until it fell. I am willing to trust asus again and buy the new N7.

i own one and if i had to do it again i would stay away. Touchscreen issue plague my experience everyday..

Own a nexus 7 13, never had the problems. But, the gpad is a better choice.

Have owned both and the 2013 N7 is clearly much better than the 2012. Since the 4.4 release including 4.4.2 it's resolved all the touch issues including on ungrounded surface without touching with other hand. It's crazy to recommend the 2012 since it's inferior in a lot of ways such as display, DRAM, performance and it had touch issues too but don't know if it was ever resolved since I ended up selling mine.

Is it worth the upgrade? Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on which unit you get in your hands. I pre-ordered my first N7 (2013) and an hour after opening the box I had to take my silly ass down to Best Buy and exchange it. Vertical section in screen would not register a double tap and hold to move icons or folders. Major pain to return because it was rooted within minutes of opening the box! Oh well!
Second N7 (2013) has much better touch response but not as good I don't think as either one of my 2012 models. The 16GB 2012 N7 was pre-ordered also, then bought the 32GB version when they came out. The second N7 (2013) if you hold it in portrait and squeeze the left or right edges hard enough it will squeak but that might be what I get for falling asleep while reading and waking up on top of the damn thing.
I really do have mixed feelings about the 2013 model. The screen, performance and battery life is absolutely outstanding, much better than the original version in my opinion and the original was nice, but the build quality can be and should be better. I liked the way the original felt in the hand better but the newer version is lighter so there's that.
LG Gpad GPE looks to have a screen that doesn't come close to the brightness level of the new N7 and over $100 more. Otherwise...
All that said, I would recommend the new version with the stipulation that you make sure the touch response is right and the case doesn't squeak too much along the edges. Don't hesitate to return or exchange it. As long as all that is good go for it.

If you haven't ordered yet staples is still selling them for $50 off, I saw the 32GB for $229 yesterday. If you have any problems it would also be easier to exchange vs ordering online.

I think nowadays most stores will let you buy online and do an exchange or return in a physical store. I'm positive Best Buy does. Also, most everybody has free shipping and possibly no sales tax, Except of course for Google.

nexus 7 (2013)

Should I buy nexus 7 2013? I have had my 2012 nexus 7 since last summer and have not had any problems with it but I have been reading about new one having lots of problems is it true or not and should I still get one? I really want to get it because the only thing my nexus is missing is 1080p and slim port and overall nexus 7 is the best tablet money can buy. Especially I wan to find out about glass cracking because I have read that a lot of people have this problem and what about lg g pad

The majority of N7 2013 owners seem to be extremely happy with IMO today's best small tablet value. Most problems involve touch, GPS and random reboots, and it's rare that I've heard of glass cracks. My second N7 2013 had poor touch sensitivity, which was fixed by the solution in the "multi-touch" thread, and since Android 4.4.2 it hasn't rebooted randomly. It was an exchange, since the original had similarly poor touch sensitivity (before the multi-touch fix was released) and a burned-out black pixel.

anybody
Anybody?

I love my N7. not going to find a better value tab. I haven't had a problem with mine. I think the issues are pretty far and few between. that's why stores have exchange periods so that if you get a bad egg you can swap it out.

[Q] Buy Nexus 7, wait for Nexus 8 or buy Dell Venue 8?

With all the screen issues, I'm very hesitant to buy a Nexus 7. Actually, I'd buy two; one for my wife and one for me. But, there seems to be no fix in sight for the all the screen issues. I'd rather have an 8 inch screen than a 7 inch screen, but I have no idea whether Google will produce a Nexus 8 in the next six months or so. And, Dell has their Venue 8 available for sale. It's screen resolution may not be as good as the Nexus, and it uses a dual core instead of a quad-core CPU. But, for web surfing, email, watching videos, it seems to do pretty well.
Wondering what forum members thoughts are. Will probably wait a little while and see if there are any negative reports on the Dell in the next few weeks. (All existing buyer reviews are pretty positive.)

Why do you need 8 inch? You should either buy 7 inch or 10+inch if you ask me, anything more than 7 inch is NOT portable, if you want a multimedia device to use at home don't buy 7 inch tablet. I don't have any screen issues, i think you should give more thought on what you need.

I have no idea why so many people think Google is going to make a nexus 8 when there is a nexus 7. They're not going to make a tablet from 5 to 10 just to satisfy every person who wants an obscure sized tablet. If Google ever makes 3rd nexus tablet choice it'll be larger than the 10 not in between 7 and 10.

It's a hit or miss. Why not go to your most trusted retailer and test a couple out then pick the best screen you can find.
I don't have any issues with my unit.

Not sure what "screen issues" OP is referring to. Been using mine everyday for little over a week with no probs.

Bought one at Sams' Club last night and the screen has no issues.

I can only guess that you don't know the physical size of the 8 inch is the same as the 7 inch, there's less screen border on the front.

I guess people think there will be Nexus 8 because of the pic released by Google a few months ago. It was quickly photoshop'd to a Nexus 7 after the roar on the net. Since Google actually took a picture of someone using what appeared to be a Nexus 8, a number of people, including me, expected Google to release a Nexus 8 sometime.

There's a nine page thread entitled Potential Touch Screen Fix. This forum is full of Nexus 7 2nd gen touch screen problems. It looks a hardware grounding issue. Some people are on their fourth and fifth units and still having the problems.
I'm glad your's has worked well for one week and another poster's has worked well for one day, but this seems to be a hit and miss issue. Plus, many people notice the problem after having had the unit a while.

That seems to be the only real option. At least buying locally means you won't have to mail the unit back if its defective. You only have to return it to the store.
Unless, you want the additional geography of an 8 inch screen. I guess waiting seems to be the best bet.

I have had 2 with screen issues. The first one was extremely bad. 3 spots that didn't register touches practically at all. And the second one had touch issues and rebooting when the tablet was in a case. I was very disappointed. I am going to get a hp slate 7 extreme that runs the tegra 4. I play games often and the tegra 4 beats the snapdragon in gaming. The 1 gig of ram is still fine for the hp since kitkat is going to be running on it. The screen resolution is lower than the 7 v2 but it's still better than 720hd. The 7 v2 was my first choice but I feel that I gave Nexus 2 chances with their product and they failed.

Certainly don't wish anyone difficulties with their 7. In fact, the more positive current sales turn out to be, the more likely Asus has fixed these issues during manufacturing.
My wife and I have had a pair of Nexus 4 phones for over a year, and both are performing flawlessly. I guess we're looking for the same kind of reliability with a 7-8 inch tablet.
I'd love for Google to come out with a Nexus 8, like in the "old" screen shot. And, seeing what happens in the next few weeks seems like the safe bet.
Neither of us is a gamer, so we don't need the speed gamers require.

Mine made in August 2013, totally fine.

The new Nexus 7 is my favorite device ever, and I use it hours a day even after months of having it. I'm actually glad I didn't get the LTE version because then it would never leave my side (tempting though, since TMobile offers free data for tablets).
From what I've seen on my Dell Venue 11, Windows 8 is nowhere near as easy to use or as useful as Android. It actually pisses me off sometimes, for well-known issues like battery drain and control panel. PM me if you want more thoughts on the Dell Venue.

Hi -- I've had my unit since October and I've had absolutely zero problems with it. :3 I bought it from Best Buy.

LG GPad 8.3, Google Play Edition.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Is these issue's still happening on the Nexii 7 2013? I want to buy one myself.

I got a Nexus 7 (2013) for Christmas, it was purchased from Best Buy. I already have an HTC One, and I have to say -- the Nexus 7 keeps up fine, despite inferior specs. And my HTC One feels so very small now. It only beats the Nexus 7 in sound. I was reluctant to open up my Nexus 7, I gave a lot of thought to returning it for the credit, but I'm glad I kept it now. Go get a Nexus 7!

And today's current rumor, from various component suppliers, is the Nexus 8 will be introduced this summer. (Background comments are that Google is disappointed in the sales of the current Nexus 7.)
Currently, the choices are Nexus 7 (2013) at $269 for 32 gb; LG G Pad 8.3 at $299 (street price) for 16gb but w/SDHC; or Dell Venue 8 at $179/$209 for 16/32 gb but w/SDHC. The Dell has less dense screen, but equal to the rest of the competition, and twin core CPU which is more than capable for videos.
I don't know how to "convert" std G Pad to Google Edition w/less bloatware and quicker OTA updates. If the OTA updates along from LG, and LG doesn't modify them, then the question becomes how much of delay in getting them from LG rather than from Google.
If either LG or Dell comes up with sweet deal, that might be the way to go. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Buying new nexus 7.. Need help..

Friends I have decided to buy 32gb Wifi model. I have been reading reviews around the net and found that the tablet has touch screen issues due to some earthing problem.
My question is that is this true for the initial batches of the tablet only or for all? My Indian friends hopefully could shed some light on this. How many of you are facing the touch screen problem and to what extent?
I was all very excited to get this tablet guys. I was hoping to get it by next week but this touch screen issue is making me have second thoughts.
Also is this best android gaming tablet? Or is there something more powerful than this around the market?
Please feel free to give your suggestions. Waiting eagerly for your responses. Thanks in advance.

I was earlier thinking of going for the Wifi+3g model but then decided against it. I will always have my phone with me and I turn on Wifi hotspot to access net in my tablet. Also Wifi version will get better battery life I suppose.

Friends I have decided to buy 32gb Wifi model. I have been reading reviews around the net and found that the tablet has touch screen issues due to some earthing problem.
My question is that is this true for the initial batches of the tablet only or for all? My Indian friends hopefully could shed some light on this. How many of you are facing the touch screen problem and to what extent?
I was all very excited to get this tablet guys. I was hoping to get it by next week but this touch screen issue is making me have second thoughts.
Also is this best android gaming tablet? Or is there something more powerful than this around the market?
Please feel free to give your suggestions. Waiting eagerly for your responses. Thanks in advance.

I got my Nexus in April, after quite a few had already been sold.
Out of the box, mine had touch screen issues... multiple responses to a single key touch as well as some unresponsiveness. After doing a Google search, a factory reset fixed most of the issues. I'm left with some occasional unresponsiveness.
For me it's an occasional annoyance. I've found after 30 plus years of playing with computer devices, they all have minor annoyances. Overall, I am quite impressed with the device.

That's what I wanted to hear. I just wanted to be sure that it isn't a deal breaker. [emoji1]
So what do you suggest? I should go ahead with the purchase of my device..?

Just got my 32gb nexus 7 days ago and I have not had a single issue with it. Works perfectly.

I of course meant Nexus 7, and not Nexus 5, but yeah this tablet hasn't missed a beat so far

I've had my 32GB N7 (2013) WiFi model since January (got a GREAT deal from Staples for only $170 brand new). This tablet has been no less than perfect for me. No issues whatsoever. Can't beat the bang to buck ratio you get with this device.

If I was in your place I would have atleast waited for Google I/O.
Who knows they may announce the new nexus 8.

But the Google I/0 is at the end of this month.. Also it will take at least another one month for Google to launch It here in India.. With the fact that initial batches invariably has some problems..
Also isn't this tablet capable of doing almost anything. I know faster and better processors are being released but is there any app or game in android which utilises so much power?
From what I have read the only drawback this tablet has is with the camera and feeble loudspeakers.
Performance wise it's pretty good.. Isn't it?

I've had a touchscreen issue and i demand for a replacement!

Bought nexus 7, should get it today [emoji1]
Any suggestions on whether I should root it and install custom rom?
Or the stock rom is good enough for all the heavy games I m gonna throw at it??

Got my 16GB version today and I'm nothing short of delighted, been brilliant and a world apart from the first gen Nexus 7's, no problems at all.

My nexus gets heated at the back in 10- 15 minutes of normal usage ..is it normal or is there something wrong ? Its not that it becomes unbearable or makes it difficult to hold the device but its just enough to make you notice .. If anyone could help ???

Depends what you're doing.. Mine never gets hot just browsing web/Facebook/etc
But when playing any game its hot after 10mins

As long as it's not rebooting it's fine.
