Hi,
I was lucky enough to get my Nexus 7 today as I bought mine from Ebuyer. I've been playing with it for a couple of hours now and have noticed that I get really weak signal strength using my home WiFi. The internet is working a lot faster on my phone (ics) and on my laptop. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a jelly bean issue?
Thanks for any help
My WiFi strength has been very good so far. Have you updated to 4.1.1? I don't know if it affects WiFi, but I updated right away and its been good since

So what was the final result? Did your wifi strength got better?
So far mine seems pretty good.

I updated a few hours ago before I posted. The signal is usable for browsing but YouTube takes ages to load there have been times when i've got no signal at all while my phone can load YouTube videos up fine. I pretty much always have 1 bar of signal,I know that's not the mist accurate indicator, but there's definitely a difference in performance between the nexus and my one x. Maybe i have a dud?
Rumours went around earlier that those models shipped earlier than google play, might have issues with wi-fi or screen problems, but don't take my word for it, it was just a post I saw on this thread.

Have you checked, settings, then wifi, then menu select advanced, then select "best wifi performance". It bumps up the wattage to the WIFI antenna. Its mentions at least on my HTC EVO 4G LTE that it may consume more battery. Hope it helps.
I'm sitting about 20 feet from my router in the same room and I have full bars. I did a bandwidth test and got...
Test Date: Jul 14, 2012 12:53:25 am
Connection Type: Wifi
Server: Vernon Hills, IL
Download: 17073 kbps
Upload: 3080 kbps
Ping: 23 ms
So I guess it's okay here. I'm on 4.1.1

Just walked around the house, no problems. I did lose signal in the driveway though.
Yeah I'm having issues with WiFi also, same problem with YouTube being really slow. Also my WiFi cuts out and I have to turn it off and back on again

Install WiFi analyser from the play store and see what the WiFi signal strength on your router channel is like, also shows other routers near you which may be interfering with yours.
I hope its good my A500 was rather weak.

No issues with wifi so far. However i don't think the chip supports 5 GHz networks as i can only pick up the 2.4 GHz networks.

Hmmm... wifi strength... Yes, hmm, indeed... let me say this...
OMFG it's GREAT!!!
Compared to my Razr Maxx and my Acer Iconia A500, it's amazing. I'm seeing neighbors wifi that I never knew existed. ZERO problems not only anywhere in my house, but anywhere on my property. Probably the best wifi reception I've seen on a mobile device.
anyone also have a prime? if so, how does the 7s range compare?

I have a Acer a500 tablet and let me say the Nexus 7 gets 2x the Wifi strength of that POS. I love the range I am getting its very similar to my Galaxy Nexus.

I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 7, but I'm seeing tons of people posting with all kinds of screen problems. I'm wondering, is everyone having issues, or is it just the people who are having issues that are posting? So if you have a Nexus 7 and it is working great, I would love to hear from you.
No problems what so ever, ordered 27 June, got it yesterday and I've been through two full battery charges and rooted and its still running like a champ. Don't hesitate!

Mines great! It's probably just a 'nexus' of complaints here! Where else would you talk about it, that's making it look worse than it is perhaps.
Only problem I had was that it turned up TOTALLY empty of charge and needed a few minutes to get past 0%. Once done, it's been working great.
No flicker
No squeaky sides
No raised glass
It works and works great.
Non-rooted(so far), standard rom. Nothing out of the usual.
I dont! absolutely love the device!

My only problem is that I can't put it down and my ipad has started getting dusty since I got my N7 on Tuesday!

As per any new device, there are bound to be ones that make it thru production with a problem or two. Apparently screen issues have been what's the most prominent.

Works amazing for , dont hesitate.
No problems at all. My device is flawless. Great build quality on it.
Might be better if you create a poll then you will truly see most don't suffer from reported issues. It could be as simole as do you have any major hardware issues vs. Those who dont. Or are you satisfied with your nexus 7 vs. Those who arwnt. If you do, change thread title also. The complaints will always be voiced more over those who satisfied with their devices.
I'd easily recommend anyone to buy one of these ASAP.
No problems at all with mine.I am very happy with mine.Fast,looks good
And no issues with anything I have tried to do with it.
Everything is flawless here too. Highly recommended. The UI smoothness has me sold.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've got 3 dead pixels at the very bottom trim of the screen which are only barely noticable when watching a movie with weird borders.
Not returning it because of that, still very happy.
Mine came form google play perfect expect screen Flickr which I think is a driver issue.
Some people reporting getting replacements with the same exact issue.
It's not all negative let's start positive the screen is incredible just like my nexus 10. Feels uber premium. The i.r blaster is fantastic so is the camera. But my god it certainty is not fast ,internet and Google play store load with snails pace. Only have the phone 1day and very few apps are installed. Big change from my nexus 4 In this regard. Any ideas ?

It's lighting fast for me, all the reviews said the only faster phone for browsing is iPhone.

I have 135 apps, about 25 of these are games, about 10 real gpu and cpu intensified. . .cant say its slow for me. Its alot smoother than my Tegra 3 One X, and thats no joke. . .
I have had no lags at all with this, not even once! Have had our for a month and a bit now

Mine is very fast turn your wifi of on your phone and turn it back on if not remove your wifi network and put it on again
As other owners have said the phone is quite fast, however browsing the internet and Google play both rely on phone network or wifi, so I would suggest you check network or wifi signal strength and speed.

My HTC One is so fast it makes my Nexus 7 seem sluggish.
Hopefully the new Nexus 7 will be even quicker.
I have the HTC one and have such problems.
Build quality just sucks.
Screen sucks because there is a scratsh in it now I had the optimus black with no gorrila glass with no scratches :/ .
Sometimes I send a sms and I send 1 sms.
But the person I sms to said he had it 2 or 3 times .
Input of charging sucks almost broken :/ .
Idunno why but I never lat him fall or anything else I really take care of it.
And already 2 times he didnot charge :/ .
So if I'm lucky I'm gonna change it to a sgs4 or what do you people think about it?

I`am super happy with the One running ARHD 12.1 and stock kernel. Ruuning smoothly and fast, good batterylife and great radio reception. Maybe you have a somehow faulty device.
I think he's just trying to stir up trouble, as it would be extremely unlikely for all of these things to happen, no way would his battery be draining that badly, and he keeps mentioning the S4, so just leave him to it

2- in my findings phone A is not more likely to scratch then phone B. Its all based on time, use, situation and pressure. If your Optimus was in the situation the One was in then it would have scratched as well.
3- this is a network issue. Me and a friend with an iPhone were in a low signal room. She has AT&T I have T-Mobile. I started receiving double texts from a friend she didn't. A few minutes later she started receiving them as well from different people. Its a network issue plain and simple. Likewise with your second post I would get a new SIM it sounds like it may be detective.
4- if its really broken (only use the official HTC charger and cord to test) contact seller/HTC for a replacement.
1- being an all metal device the One has higher standards then a plastic device. The 'defects' the One has such as gap are still well below the tolerances used for plastic devices. Even with all that the build quality is still leaps and bounds better than 99% of android devices. I think your feeling is based on your other perceived issues.

First off all
I always had a good signal never problems somehow now he even doesnot wanna connect I putted my SIM card I'm my other phone and it worked so that's number one.
About my usage I'm really secure and look after how I'm using them my optimus black has fallen 3 times really bad but not scratshes with no gorrila glass so thats just weird for me.
About charging I always use the one of htc.
And my battery life is no 4 hours my bad sorry it's 8 but it's still lower than first (ididnot upgrade to 4.2.2)
And first I could minimum 14 hours
At least Idunno if the black one is better build maybe I could change it to that version.
And just about HTC one people Iknow face problems to it's just I don't wanna buy a phone For 550 euros what has this problems it's just not acceptable that's my opinion because idont wanna send my phone back to a service center and wait 3 weeks or a month For a new one or fixed .

My phone has no problems other than having to keep an eye on the battery. I keep screen brightness low and use the power saver and it's fine. The phone is fast and works great. It really sounds like you have a defective unit that you should exchange for another. Best of luck.

Hi XDA,
I saw a thread on here a couple of months ago about someone having an issue with his M7 randomly rebooting, but no one ever found a solution.
I've had my M7 for about two years now, and I used to have the same issue, which was super annoying! However, the recent Android 4.4 update fixed the issue somewhat.
However, it still reboots at random times, although not very frequent, so it's not that big a deal.
BUT, now the audio disappears, so when I get a call, I can't hear anyone talking, and I have to reboot it to get the audio back.
Any ideas? It's really bothersome, but at least I'm 90% sure that it's caused by the OS.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?

Update!
I've noticed that Dosbox: Turbo won't run when the sound is gone, so maybe that'll give you some ideas of what the issue might be. Any ideas?
