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.

What version works with the nexus 7?

Asus releases firmware upgrade to fix screen lift, dead pixels

Today Asus's Facebook page announced the exciting news that they just released a firmware upgrade to the popular Nexus 7 tablet, which they hope will fix common issues like "screen-lift" and dead pixels.
"要解决这个问题，我们感到非常兴奋," the Facebook page said. "我们发现的代码中的错误导致屏幕解除。"
The update will also fix other issues, including blown-out speakers, screen-streaks, and missing screws.
According to Asus, the screen-lift issue was due to a missing semicolon in the code. "这是一个非常尴尬的错误。," the Facebook page reads.
Hopefully this will appease the growing Nexus 7 fanbase, which has been upset by the many issues they have faced.
The multi-billion-dollar company also has another firmware update in the works. Sources predict that it will add more RAM to the device to compete with other high-end tablets.
Check back later for more information.
EDIT: we have confirmation coming in from XDA users.
"This is a super clever fix," slack04 explained. "It's just what we've been waiting for. Now will you give me a moment? I've lost my sense of humor and can't seem to find it."
"No thanks," said user jcjr81. "I'll pass on this update until others prove it works. What if it causes the screen to shrink, or something?"
Some are afraid Asus's fix could make the problem worse, as seen in the infamous Dell Inspiron case of 2008, in which a firmware update to stop batteries from exploding was successful, apart from the fact that the batteries began imploding instead.

Just because an update might be rolling out for one particular device it doesn't necessarily mean all the Nexus hardware will be getting said update, so keep that in mind.
I haven't seen any mention of 4.2.2 recently, guess it'll happen soon enough (unless some people are trolling Reddit which is pretty common these days as the site gets more popular every minute).

Well, there were multiple people who reported it. So its plausible that its true. There was also someone with a nexus 7 who reported.

Lens cover then

Yes. You have Revision 11, I'd guess.
Those nubs were added after Revision 11. So the only change after Rev11 is to have nubs or not to have nubs. I personally don't have them and my phone is still awesome

My phone came yesterday without the nubs.
Mine's also an amazing phone even without them though

The lens change is present in devices shipped end of December. The nubs are pretty new and added a few weeks back

Same lens, just made the opening smaller. That's all. Quality is the same, or should be.

There are probably bins full of a mixture of back covers with or without the nubs, so until all the old stock has been exhausted there are probably a mixture coming of the production line. The glass back will be the same, so you could get a back without nubs but with the smaller camera hole or vice versa.
Unless a change is for a safety issue or is required to fix a fault, manufacturers will not throw away all previously good components. With something like the back covers and glass backs, I doubt they are strictly rotated so that older stock is always used first, so you get new stock put at the front, used up and then it is back to older stock for while until newer arrives.

New firmware now offers to register one handed thumb print.

I just deleted my prints to set them up again, and noticed that you are now offered to set up a one handed thumb print.
After setting up my prints again my thumb is registering much more accurately and I can swipe faster than before too.

Just the general usage of the phone seems faster, but that could just be psychological because of the new update
The main advantage for me was the fingerprint scanner as I was having a lot of problems with it before.
