Please Fill Out Your Nexus 7 Complaints Here

I've taken the time to make this thread to hear about any complaints people may have about the Nexus 7. Keep in mind, this thread is NOT for PHYSICAL defects or imperfections. I'm talking about complaints about the performance, any lag at all, crashes or freezes, horrible battery life, performance with major 3D games, or any bugs you may find, post them here ! :good: Complain all you want about it, let's discuss it. Is the Nexus 7 what you were expecting ? Is it BETTER than you expected ? Is it good for the price ? Are other tablets better in any way ? Say it !

Is this really necessary?

I thought it would be interesting to know. Thank you for replying !

I had a yellow tint on the screen when I use the device for more than 30 minutes.

Thanks everyone but per the op, this thread is not for discussion of physical defects.

The fact that every store within 50 miles of me that had any in stock is sold out.

Yeah, I've heard many people who bought the Nexus 7 from retail stores had problems with the screen. I would imagine that the new unit had no problems ?

I am not bashing this thread but there is an almost exact thread that already exists in the Q&A section.

Check it out in the pictures and let me know what you think; I don't have any frame of reference for the quality of these and I don't want to have to be out of a device for a long period of time for an issue that doesn't really bother me.
In the first pic, you can see the LEDs on one side. In the other two you can see how the brightness changes from left to right.

I'd like to try it. I think my hands and arms would get tired fast holding that combo.

Yeah HKSpeed I think your right, holding this for any period of time is going to strain your arms, and your gonna put it down any way.
I cant see how good this product is, why would you want them attatched?
Just pair them prop your tablet up with your stand or what ever, and play away?!

Make one for $5. And, yes, it does get quite uncomfortable. This isn't my design, think it was on Instructables.com. I think I'm gonna try to look into balancing it a little better.

Well supposedly the GameKlip is designed to put the devices weight in the controller's center of gravity, making it easy to hold and not uncomfortable. Definitely something I wanna try tho. Is that just a bunch of those bendable cable organizers?

No, I formed it from 1/8" steel rod, and covered in heat shrink tubing. Took some tweaking, but it works great, aside from the fatigue. Dead trigger is awesome with the setup

Lol I'm too lazy to try that... I wouldn't think it be too hard to hold it since the N7 hardly weighs anything.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

is there any good news for this gameklip ?

$15 is way too overpriced for a piece of plastic. That clip is worth $4 max. I built one of these out of a coat hanger and some shrinkwrap tubing for $1. IMO, the cable they are selling for $4 that connects the controller to the tablet in host mode is worth more than a plastic clip.

Well, just going off what I can see in the pic, it looks like 1/8" steel rod. Is pretty much trial and error when fitting these. Lots of measuring, bending, re -bending This one looks better than the one I made, primarily from the way it attaches to the ps3 controller. However, I can't tell how is attached to the n7

Recycled Phone Case

Hey guys, I took your advice and tried to make my own phone case out of recycled paper, it's still a beta but feel free to give me suggestions about how to make it stronger or make it fit the phone better. This is attempt number 8 and took 3 days to make. I have plenty ideas about how to decorate it and will be making more. If anyone here actually knows someone that produces cases cwn you please tell me about them because even if my cases are a failure, I still have good ideas about design, Thanks!!!
Edit: I made it more secure by adding another layer on the back and on the front. I also added a ring around the front so you can just hold the phone by the case and the phone won't fall out. Pictures are coming shortly after I decorate the back.
Edit: I finished decorating and now the pictures are being uploaded. If anyone wants a case made just pm me. This is beta 10.
Edit: Ok guys, the last case was a bit dull I'll admit that, so for the first "stable" it's going to be bright and funky, so keep your eyes peeled!!!
Edit: Ok guys, stable 1 "starburst" is officially complete, look for the colorful pictures below!!!
Edit: As a request I made a case with bubble wrap, it went pretty well but it's prone to bursting when dropped, going to do drop tests with it on with my actual phone inside, stay tuned and don't forget to rate the thread and subscribe!!!
Here's the drop test video, if you want more just ask.

Ok, bad response
Ok guys, that was a bad response, so, I'm asking you guys out there for inspiration for my next case that people might buy. My friends want to buy the starburst one but I guess that doesn't float you boat if you're not colorful so why don't you toss a few ideas my way and share this page with your friends!! Thinking of making a charity case that costs a little extra but most of the profits go to charity if not all. Other than that you're buying a case to support me by buying me more supplies and hopefully a new phone to make cases for.

Ok guys, anyone that sees this Can you Please tell me if I should do drop tests with the bubble wrap case and video them? I'm only asking this because if I do it and break my phone in the process and nobody watches the video, if would have been a waste but if I broke my phone and people did see it, at least people saw it. And if it doesn't brake, all the better!

Now start gently to remove the copper stickers from the right side "near power button" that nexus use like GPS antenna and or GSM (really don't know), be very careful because it is very think and you can easily tear it.
After removed stick back to the new cover
After you removed from right side proceed same action on the left side.
Now start to remove the wireless charger, be careful because in this part the copper part is thinner than the antenna part.
Be careful may be a lot of small glasses.
Now stick the wireless charger to the new cover
Well done, now you have new back cover

The image doesn't show the NFC or wireless charging antennas, so it's not original. I wouldn't pay over $45 for one of these copies. I can buy them wholesale (about 10) for around $35 shipped from China, and that's only 10.

good to know

I knew it was just a matter of time

Gave my evo lte to my wife when I got the ONE, she gets every phone I have when I upgrade and everyone gets broke, lost, or dropped in water.
She dropped it just as she was closing the truck door, smashed in the door
And to top it off the deductible is now $150

It's a woman thing. Mostly dropped in the toilet because they can't stay off the damn thing from what I've seen. I'm surprised Sprint still offers my ex-wife insurance because her and my daughter are constantly breaking their phones. Same thing with my girlfriend. I thought maybe if I got her a new phone she would take care of it. When her line was eligible for an upgrade they had a deal on the Galaxy Nexus where it was pretty much free. So I got her that. Good thing I got insurance too lol.

She wasn't getting my hand me downs till she used her upgrade to get a phone then broke it and didn't have insurance on it, so I used my upgrade to replace that phone, then by the time her upgrade came I used it, then gave her my phone because she lost hers, and that's pretty much how it goes now.
So instead of paying the deductible she gets my phone when she loses hers or she is tired of fighting with a phone that's not working right because of her dropping it or getting water damage.
