Most of these are more "WTF what were they thinking", except for the car charger which is very, very annoying:
1. USB cable goes in upside down
2. Either this device is very nit-picky or very power hungry: my USB car charger, which has no problem charging any device that I have thrown at it (probably have charged 10+ different phones models plus 3+ different android tablet models), does not charge the N7.
3. Stock android is disappointing compared to CM10 on my Kindle Fire (even though CM10 is in alpha/beta)
4. Chrome browser sucks without the thumb menu of the previous stock browser
I believe that the charger is not powerful enough. Take the galaxy s2 charger for example. It's rated at 5v 0.7amps. The nexus charger is 5v 2amps. I think that will be the issue.

An annoyance from me is the voice typing. I can say "I want some ice cream so I went to the store." and it comes out "Hi this is awesome so I went 2 va store."
I can see "I" and "Hi" sounding similar. But "i want some ice cream" sounds like "this is awesome" ? and "to" is "2" ? (i get the same thing for 'for' I'll get 4.) and va and the?
I know it's not perfect but still...

Are you serious? One of the points of getting a Nexus device is that you can UNLOCK it and play.... which includes adding CM10 or anything else you can figure out how to load onto it.
In some forums, you have people begging for plain ASOP... funny to see someone complaining the other way...

Even though I'm coming from iOS and I'm kind of scared to root and what not, this is one of the things that appeals to me--the idea of rooting, unlocking and toying around. Again, very scared to do it but it sounds like fun.
I also do find it a little odd, but awesome, that they'd put what is essentially their developers toy as a public, mainstream toy.

If it were the wrong way only the included cable would work......
2. That's probably because the car charger only does 1amp.. heck my wall charger i use for my phone does .7 amps.
3. Never thought I'd read that one.. I'm quite happy with my stock rom, no bloat, no stupid UI, just plan nature Android.
Rooting's pretty simple and if it borks there's 99% chance of recovery.

See, for me in Pittsburgh PA, there are things i'll say I'll get "this is awesome" or "i love this". Like when I said "off of" together I get "love this." I could even off or of and i just get a v.
It could be me and my inflections. For the most part it does a wonderful job, but there are words or phrases that I use and it does something out of this world.

Oh I totally get it! It's the classic "some people just want to watch the world burn", only it's "some people just want to use THEIR device as THEY want." Which is one of the reasons I moved from iOS to Android.

I think (and I could be wrong with this) that with Jelly Bean it tries to understand your voice so it knows what you are saying to it better. So the first few times you go through with saying some words it wont understand what you were trying to say.
I remember when I was talking into my phone I must of said "Toronto Blue Jays" for a good 2 minutes straight because it was giving me weird results for it. So I think once it recognizes your voice and how you say some words it will give you better results.

4. If you are talking about flashing roms, you can just go flash the stock browser lol. Also chrome does stuff that the stock browser doesnt do. (tabs sharing is ****ing awesome)
The only problem I have had is the gps sometime continuously searches and drains the battery. I usually just restart the tablet and that fixes it. It's only happened twice so far.
When this happened, this is when the cable I was using didn't charge. Other than that every cable I've used has charged it.

The only problem I have is that my power button doesn't have much resistance and feels weak, but I think it is supposed to be that way.
I miss a notification light. How much more would that have cost?
1) lack of notification LED.
2) location of power button - to close to volume rocker, should be on top right rather than on side.
3) no screen rotation in stock launcher.
Otherwise, I just f... love it

Is it me or do these devices get boring after awhile? I'm thinking about intentionally bricking my Tilt and restoring it just so I have something to do with it. Pretty pathetic I know. Nothing new or innovative has been released for it yet.
Haha, this wasn't quite the thread I was expecting, thank God. But I think this happens with all phones. I thought the Tilt was the coolest thing ever and now that I have had it for a couple months I'm kind of bored with it. I felt the same way about the iPhone and the Blackberries that I have had too though, so I don't think you can really specify that it is HTC devices. It is kind of the reason for innovation, people get bored with things faster and faster these days.
it's even worse for those who don't have pockets full of cash to fork over for lots of software for these devices.freebies help but not everyone enjoys trials and simply can't spend on numerous programs

Yes it is true! But if it wasn't for XDA, I wouldn't have known any better and would have stuck with the preinstalled apps, lived a dull life, not got to pick on iPhone users, gone through the NOOB hazing, Etc.

How many years do I have to wait b4 I get my true "do it all" device?
I was reading about Sharp's new Willcom D4 UMPC today and thinking damn - it's kinda like my tilt - and an actuall real computer!
getting closer!!!
but I want it to make phone calls - not skype.....but driving cross country through the boonies traditional cell phone roaming cell phone service.
and I want 3g, gps, wifi and hell....a 5 megapixel decent looking camera/video.....and def @ least 8 full use hours (streaming video via wifi with the audio sent to my bluetooth headphones hours)
Also I'd like a nice cradle like the oqo for home/office use on traditional moniter/keyboard/mouse.
And of course it's gotta fit in my [email protected] least in the cargo pants pocket size
I know its gunna be a while....but how long u guys think?
5 years for my true do it all perfect device? I guess I'll have to wait - but Id quickly drop 2-3 grand on it today....if only it existed.
(does Microsoft want this device to exist today? is there a purpose for windows mobile when this device comes out? Is microsoft the reason for the "seperation" of the 2 OS's of the htc shift? why can't they communicate between each other fluently? why cant I make a traditional (non skype) phone call on the xp side of this device? - The everun seems to be able to do it though. - I know the technology is not quite yet here to get all these features in a pocketable device - but were soooooooo close it seems)
/dreaming of running cubase (music production software)/photoshop/etc. etc. @ work instead of just attempting to read engadget on a wannabe browser (my current fav is skyfire or opera.....but both leave me wanting more) on my pocketable (tilt) "do it all" device
/dreams and crazy glues an oqo to the back of my att tilt and puts a car battery in my backpack

I'm bailing on Android after 2 years and two devices. I'll just go ahead and get the canned responses out of the way:
"K GTFO"
"ur an idiot anroid is open source so customizable"
"nice first post, moron"
The carrier/OS fragmentation is tearing Android apart. While most of you look at the open source platform and see good things, I see a disaster. Phones are full of bloat, locked out of core functionality (Atrix, anyone?) and relying on manufacturers for updates is slowing the progress of Android.
As a Vibrant owner, I am accustomed to some flaws - chiefly a working, but slow GPS. But when my phone constantly fails to send text messages or fills my call log with calls I did not make, I start to wonder. That's just this device - how about the Nexus One's that were sending texts to random contacts? I just think Google might have bitten off more than they were ready for. I often feel like they tried to jam so much into the OS that they forgot to keep user interface in check.
Don't get me wrong, I see a TREMENDOUS potential for Android in the future. The sheer number of activations is staggering. The platform will easily be the dominate OS, no doubt. In two years, I'll revisit Android.
For the time being I'm going back to *gasp* a Blackberry *gasp*
I for one fully respect you point of view, And good luck in your further endeavors.
Im sorry Android isn't working out for you.. I personally love my Evo, and wouldnt trade it for any other phone (right now at least).
some people enjoy the open source functions, and utilize the capabilities to its fullest, while others just call it bloat-ware (which it is full of...in stock form), and being locked out of core functionality ( what more can a blackberry do, even in stock form????)
i'm not hating on your post, or your opinion, Blackberrys are fun devices (before coming into the world of Android I owned about 5 crackberries) and im sure if you dont use your android device to its fullest, then a blackberry will be perfect for you

I feel the same way. Eventually I will get phone with any OS but Android.

I'm as nerdy as anyone here and can certainly hold my own when it comes to fully utilizing my phone.
But phone is the key word there. I need a phone I can throw in my pocket, answer a message quickly and be back to life. A quick glance at a Blackberry tells me all I need to know. A quick glance at my Vibrant tells me the screen is off. Poor choice in phone model? Maybe.
The only things I will miss about Android are my phones amazing 4" Display, Google Navigation and WiFi tethering. That, to me, says a lot.
Interesting thoughts
I myself like phones that I can customize into something that I need. What I mean by this is with Android I can make my home screen tell me all I need. I went out and tried different phones and found that android based phones seemed to have the most customization options out there. I like the others but for me and this is only me android seems to fit me for what I need to have on my home screen. I like to see many things too. Like calendar, email, weather, SMS and a couple of other quick links to seldom used items. Other phones like Blackberry or Iphone work nice but I am often stuck by what they feel is right. I myself just like to have things my way I guess.

Yep. Had a MyTouch when they came out. The core functionality of the phone was pretty good, albeit a bit slow. I commend HTC/T-Mobile for updating such an old phone to Froyo.
What it boils down to for me is that despite Android being a much larger, more supported platform, it just isn't intuitive. Having to install a different rom every week to see if I can squeeze out a FULL day of use or get my GPS working just isn't fun anymore.
To me, Android has become exactly what a lot of people complained about the iPhone - a toy. The novelty (at least for me) has worn off and I'm back at square one wondering why I feel the need to own such a device. Aside from browse the web and play games, what can Android do that a Blackberry can't? I don't need to play Angry Birds or watch Youtube in HD - I have other devices to handle that. What I want to do is bang out messages and answer phone calls efficiently.
This was never intended as a thread to bash Android or XDA/Developers. I've noticed an enormous difference between stock 2.2 and some of the ROMs out there for the Vibrant. It was simply my observations on some (IMHO) big shortcomings in the platform that haven't been fully addressed.
Well, good luck on your endeavours, even though I think that HTC can solve your problems... maybe you could give the newer HTCs a shot, but hey, who am I to force you?
I think that you can still get your messages and calls out on android efficiently or at least I've managed to but it didn't take too much on my behalf; in the whole time that I've had my phone, I've only flashed 2 ROMs and my phone can pull about 48-51 hrs per charge with moderate use.

Good luck OP. Hope you find something that works for you.
I'd do the same as you, only I can't live without widgets and homescreens anymore. I've tried WP7 but just couldn't use it because the lack of customization. GL with your future phones. Atleast you're not going to the darkest side (Apple).
Small list of problems with Apple.
I don't know if anyone else agrees with me and with this statement but I think Apple software (all of it) is complete and utter crap. I'm also going to include there hardware as well.

1. Syncing is a *****
2. Market looks very soggy
3. Why is there no app drawer?
4. What in the hell is safari?
5. Although I jailbroke this thing, android still has a better UI.
6. My mouse has only one clicker. This is going to be depressing.
7. Everything in Apple is an idea that everyone has had. Problem is, everyone's idea is better than Apple.
8. Siri, your voice sounds a little horse. Meaning you sound like a horse.

2. I dropped it, must buy new screen
3. My phone is unable to be opened. Why must you censor my phone.
4. I need to replace my camera on computer...have to take whole computer.

Sigh.
It helps if you do your research at places other than the apple website. Apple don't make products, they get companies like Foxconn to do it for them, so the quality of apple products is exactly the same as the other brands Foxconn assembles.
Been an N7 owner for months and it's been a freakin' delight. It has exceeded my (demanding) expectations and has earned the #1 spot for my go-to device whenever I need to do anything online, or do anything digital for that matter. My Galaxy Nexus sits on my desk relegated to it's role as a phone, and my laptop is almost never used at all.
I run it bone stock, locked and un-rooted. It's fast, reliable and a hands-down joy to use. When I think that I paid $199 for it, it just broadens my smile just a bit more.
Just wanted to spread a little love here.
Agreed 100%. I still use my gnex alot because the screen is just a pleasure to look at.
Only downside is the lack of color calibration, mines a little yellowish.
I ordered the dock from the play store and it will be here today so in sure I'll just use it more now.
Def root it. Easy and the ROMs out are awesome.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I gotta say.. Paranoid Android made me love my N7 that much more.
Another agree ...rooted but mostly stock 4.2.2 ..the IPad sits idle most of the time.. I did install Hosts and have root explorer, etc.
I have been all over rooting my GNex - right from the start - and it still is, running a great ROM, latest radios, etc.
But, my N7 remains untouched and for some reason, I like it that way. I use Nova to provide a little customization from a launcher perspective, but otherwise, there's nothing else I am jonesin' for.
Never thought that a tablet would provide any utility for me, especially since I have such a cool customizable phone with a big screen, and a laptop for when I need that bigger screen with a keyboard. But somehow, the N7 squeezed in there and bumped 'em both out of that space.

Besides my Gnex and laptop being relegated to 2nd and 3rd string status as my go-to devices, I've noticed that I also fire-up my TV much less.
Even though I can watch all the shows I want on my laptop, there's something about the 7" size of the N7 that makes it the perfect thing to grab when I want to park on the couch and watch a show. Frankly, I never thought I would even use a tablet this much, and if the N7 wasn't such a freakin' joy to use, I def would still sitting with my laptop.
Did I say?
I love this freakin' thing.

I too am surprised at how much I love this thing (32Gb purchased locally) I need almost nothing else for consumption. Since I've gotten a hold of this thing all I've really used my PC for is transcoding movies to copy over to the Nexus 7.
The other surprise is how well it works as a Kindle. Why anyone would buy the Amazon branded tablet is a mystery to me. I haven't so much as touched my second gen 6" Kindle in over a month.
I just wish it had infrared...

I also have a N7 and love it as well
I run completely stock like you
However, with wugfresh
It's a 1-click to unlock
And another click to root
Furthermore both can be undone with 1 click as well
But just being able to make a nandroid backup alone is enough reason to root
Plus there are several "must have" apps for rooted devices only
So I strongly suggest you reconsider
Run stock... But too easy not to root
I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)
I have to say the color seems so much better
But there's nothing like a Nexus :victory:
AW: I Love This Freakin' Thing...
The N7 is definitely a best buy. I have the 16GB version. Sure, vibration would be nice for gaming, but I don't really mind. A better camera would also be nice, but, hey! The only alternative I would consider would be the 32GB UMTS (?) version.
just got my nexus 7 a week ago this past friday and i love the thing mine is unlocked and rooted but runs the stock os i have stick mount and a otg cable so i can more memory along with mx player which is a great player
Months later, I am driven to dredge-up this old thread.
Gotta say it again - I still love this freak'in thing!
Snappy performance, beautiful screen, long battery life, wonderful build quality, 100% reliable. It is still my go-to device for just about everything.
Never rooted. Bone stock.

New user and I agree with you totally. It's really a brilliant device. When I read the OP I was totally expecting the "but..." :silly:
Coming from the Nexus 4, which I loved and Jelly Bean, I just received my Nexus 5 yesterday and have some disappointments. Let me know if you guys agree and if I'm overlooking anything and can fix.
1 FIXED - Ok, Google sucks at making home screen launchers, apparently. I have to use an aftermarket app for my home screen) I LOVE Google Now. I used it quite a bit on my Nexus 4 by holding the home button and swiping up. Now they made it so Google Now is locked on the left side. WTF? I loved having my "home" screen in the middle, with two screens on the left and two on the right. I had a Trip It widget and Keep widget on the left, each on their own screen. I had some other often used apps on the right and my Calendar widget each on their own on the right. No screen was more than two swipes away. Now I have to swipe 4 screens to the right to get to my last one. That sucks. I can turn Google Now off to get my screens back, but then I don't have Google Now at all. This sucks, Google. What are you thinking?
2) I thought it made total sense to have the Play Store link right above the apps in the app drawer. When someone would ask, "do you have XXXX app?" I'd look and if I didn't, I could touch right there to enter the Play Store and download. Now, I have to scroll to find the Play Store app icon. Or put it on one of my screens. This seems like they're going backward here. Why remove that? To make it prettier? Aesthetics over functionality.
3 FIXED!) I love talking to my phone and used voice to text quite often. Now when I go to text someone, I can't see the mic anywhere on the keyboard. Really? Why did they rearrange the keyboard and remove this? Oh, now I get all these cute smiley faces and crap I'll NEVER use, but the mic is gone. Why?
4) Speaking of rearranged keyboard layouts, why change it up? I was pretty used to my Jelly Bean keyboard. Now they rearranged the exclamation point to the other side. And maybe others. I can't recall exactly until I start texting and hit a wrong key, pressing something which used to be another symbol. I'll eventually get used to that, but why change it? It was fine as it was.
5) HUGE icons. Why? To look my iPhone(ish)? Jelly Bean had 5 rows of 5. Now we get huge icons and 5 rows of 4. Not a huge deal, but if you have a bunch of apps, it takes longer to scroll through them all and you can't fit as many of your most used on one screen.
6) I love the home screen rotate on my Nexus 7. Google never thought to add this to the Nexus 4. And now it's not on the Nexus 5 either. I've used an app called "Rotate" to perform this and loved it, but now that Kit Kat extends the background to show behind the toolbars (which I love the look of, by the way), when I use "Rotate" to flip the home screen when I hold the phone horizontally, that black bar shows on the right. Again, not a huge problem here and maybe Rotate will update to a Kit Kat compatible version, but why doesn't Google add this functionality out of the box for its Nexus phones when they do it for the Nexus 7?
7) The notification sounds seem even quieter than the Nexus 4, which wasn't the loudest ever. I always turn vibrate on text OFF so when I'm texting back and forth, it's not unnecessarily wasting battery. But in doing so, I could most times hear my Nexus 4 chime when in my pocket. Not with the 5. I find myself pulling it out of my pocket every 15 mins to see if I missed any calls, emails or texts. I guess I'll have to turn on the notification vibration and sacrifice battery life, but that's lame.
If I'm overlooking anything which fixes any of these, please advise!
Oh well.

That's what I was hoping I did by accident, but I can't see where I would have. In settings > language & input > google keyboard settings, I have the
"voice input key" checked. I assumed that's what I need. I unchecked it, looked and the mic wasn't there. I re-checked it, looked and the mic isn't there. What am I overlooking?

I seriously don't want to man. I loved the Nexus 4 and was SO excited with this. But when you're used to things and they change for the worse (my opinion, things that are USEFUL to me), it's more than annoying, it's a real issue. 1, 2, 3 and 7 are all big deals to me. 1 - It makes the phone less simple. Most actions needed to get to what I use. 2 - same as 1, more steps needed to get to the Play Store. 3 - hopefully I'm overlooking something, but speaking my texts to my phone saved me A LOT of texting time. 7 - a ****ty speaker means I can't hear maps directions and have to look down at my phone more. That's not something I'm just trying to find an issue with, it's a real issue.

As for the speaker - I'm not sure what the complaints are about. It blows away my S3's and every other phone I've had...
Another one of these threads....#2 really? This is something to complain about.
I don't use Samsung products because I hate Touch Wiz and all the other bloatware on it. Yeah, I know it can be unlocked and modded, but I don't get into all of that. I came from an EVO 4G and liked it a lot, but once I got my Nexus 4, I could never go back to a phone with HTC Sense. The speaker was far better on the EVO though than the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5, to me, seems even quieter.

I kinda do agree with you on 1). I felt uncomfortable when first started to use Nexus 5 because I had a similar screens setup to yours on S4.
But I've changed my habits pretty quickly. Although I'm only using Calendar widget that occupies whole screen and one more screen (apart from home) for apps.
Why can't you just change your launcher and swipe up to open Google now.
These complaints are seriously getting out of control. Android is about options. If you don't like the way something acts, use something else. If you don't like the keyboard, use another one!
Yep. It's going backward in features. That was useful as hell. If you never used it, ok, but give me something to make things easier, I get used to it and dig it. Take it away and I'm annoyed. Why take it away? It reminds me of the "new" Google Maps. They took away a few features that I LOVED.
I'm tied into Google. I use a lot of their offerings. But I'm not going to blindly defend everything they throw out, I'm going to honestly say what I like and dislike.

Cool, suggest something for me, please. I don't like screwing with things too much, I like vanilla Android as Google intended. But I liked Jelly Bean Android. Kit Kat feels less intuitive. I know Android is all about the ability to be free and have different choices, but the reason I got rid of my HTC EVO was because I hate skins and crap on my Android. I just want it plain and yummy. If there's an alternative launcher that looks just like Jelly Bean, sweet, I'm all in. I just don't want it to give completely different functionality in other ways.

I'm actually considering going back to my Nexus 4 and selling this. Obviously, I won't be jumping to Kit Kat when it's available on the N4.
But this is why I post - maybe there are fixes.
And guys, aren't these forums about helping? No, I don't use Apple products. Nothing against 'em, but I'm tied into Google and don't care to switch. I just loved most everything about my Nexus 4 and was hoping to love the 5 even more.
