Hi Friends,
I need to buy a 7'-8' tablet and being a fan of nexus, started with nexus 7 2013 32GB(22K) vs Samsung tab 3 T311(24K) and budget is ~25K (india)
But could see lot of forums pointing to random issues in new nexus 2013 device. I couldn't see any other helpful place to ask this question apart from XDA friends
Will rooting solve rebooting, hanging, touch issues in nexus 2013 device ? or can you suggest some other stable tablets in 25K range ?
Please putforth your suggestions friends.
PS: I am getting this tablet for my Parents/Brother and I want it to be stable mostly used for skype, heavy gaming and browsing. Thanks in advance
The touch issues have not been solved yet 100%. There are workarounds for it, but nothing that fixes it across the board. I have not had hanging issues, or rebooting at all with mine. Rooting will not solve the touch issues.
My Nexus 7 is stable.

No issues at all with my Nexus 7

I have a 2013 nexus 7 and have never had any hangingnor reboot issues. It seems that every once in a while I have the touch issues but it seems to get a little better as they update software.... I think it may be a hardware issue but they are just using software work arounds... All in all I love this tablet and wouldn't trade it for any other device. BTW it seems when I have a ROM like cyanogen installed the touch issues seem to disappear....

What kind of touch issues you're talking about? Does it occurs on every device or random?
Never seen any touch issues on mine. If there are any, it does not affect my use of the tablet. I don't use mine for gaming, so that might be a difference.

Hello, I have read that many Nexus 7 devices (ever since the first model) experience significant slow down after a year of use. I'm considering buying one, and would like to know if this issue has ever been addressed or if anyone could give me personal input?
I've had my 2012 Nexus 7 since launch day, and had no issues with slow down over time. My new N7 is obviously even faster.

I have two original Nexus 7's..…a 16gb and a 32gb and I have not noticed any slow down in either one.

That issue was rectified with 4.3 when TRIM support was added.
Mine as fast as day one. 3 months old

You could try the free tool LagFix (fstrim).
It needs root.

So I just got my tab pro a couple days ago and I really love it. The one big thing i'm missing Is my root. I know that it's new to the field. But does any body have any idea when we might have root for this device? Thanks in advance.

Tab S 10.5 , Note Pro, Tab Pro are all Exynos too and they all got the update to Lollipop, some to 5.1.
In fact they run the exact same Exynos as us, so there's not much work to be done (in that regard) anyways...
So -yeah- nothing to do with it being Exynos... In fact I'd be much surprised if we were not to get Lolipop too. It's Samsung's pattern, their last update is greeeatly overdue but they eventually deliver. Of course we'll never get Marshmallow as it's over the 2 year window during which Samsung typically supports her products... and then they wonder why Apple is No1 in profits. Ipad 2, a 4.5 year old device and it is still getting updates (ios 4.2.1 to ios 9+ !!)
Yeah I know! It was a joke.

Oh sorry, didn't notice. Sarcasm is sometimes hard to conveyed through text...
Well, at least they kept their promise...
I agree though that 5.1.1 would have been nice at this point. Hell, my LG prepaid phone (which was also only $100) got its first Lollipop update BEFORE this $500 tablet.
Interested to see this update in action though, I hope it gets to the SM-P600 within the next week.
Haven't received it yet, but I think I am sticking with KitKat, with all the Bluetooth audio issues I have had with both my Note Pro and my Note 4, I like that my audio doesn't skip.

It´s 5.1.1 not 5.0.2
It is Android 5.1.1, NOT 5.0.2. The new device simulator is posted here.

First thing right off the bat, comparing to the exynos on the Note pro 12.2, had some lag issues, Google play store issues, but could have been a bad download. As far as new features, very similar features to the Note Pro's 5.0.2. Only thing that is not there is the toolbox bar which can save up to 5 favorite apps. I will test the Bluetooth to see if it skips like the Note Pro and the Note 4.

Side-by-side comparison of the settings left is Note 10.1 2014, right is Note Pro 12.2 with exynos processor

Maybe you need to do a full wipe (factory reset) via recovery.. (to resolve lag and google play issues)
Can you tell me if has popup windows (like note 4 and note 12.2 5.02)?
Thanks.

Updated my P607T to 5.1.1 ODIN
I was running Besonderes 5.0.2 but decided to upgrade to the official version... and pleasantly surprised to find the ODIN version of 5.1.1 on sammobile for my T-Mobile P607T..
Did the update via ODIN but it did not do full wipe... The TouchWiz kept force closing, and I did a factory reset/wipe via recovery. Now it seems to be running fine so far.. It is too early to tell if battery life improved, etc..
Yep, it has pop-up window

Very nice!
Thanks for answering.
My hope that 5.1.1 would come for all sm-p600's model too (sm-p601, sm-p600 and sm-p605).
:fingers-crossed:

Downloaded OTA, but now I can not get Twrp to stick. When I flasb Twrp it says it passed but as soon as it boots up it reverts back to stock recovery. Anyone have a solution?
Is there any hope for SM-P601 give lollipop update?
