Who else bought the 7 for the wife......

and the wife actually LOVES it My wife gets annoyed with my geeky approach to devices, including rooting, etc. I bought a N7 for myself to use for work and she was eyeing it a little, so I got the last one from Office Max for her birthday. I was nervous about her reaction, but she LOVES it. My devious plan to get her to give up her iPhone 4S at some point is slowly taking shape :angel:

She inherited the old nook color. But I would totally buy her one if she wanted it.

My GF has an iPad 2 along with an iPod Touch... so there's really no hope for her. I did, however, buy a Nexus 7 for my parents and they like it a lot. I've simplified the screens to the bare-bones of what they'll be using it for... maps, translators, etc for traveling, game folders, eReader folders for Mom, sports links for Dad, etc...
Then, I went and bought one for myself, too.

My GF fell in love with the Nexus 7 after using mine, so I gave it to her... Then bought another one for myself. :angel:

Sold off my A500 and my wife's archos 101 and iPhone 3g and used the money towards 2 nexus 7's!
She loves the thing and is enjoying movies more than anything on it!

I have never had a tablet before, and my girlfriend has had the Kindle fire since Christmas 2011.. I didn't want to buy one for myself and leave her hanging with her Kindle, so I told her that I would buy her a N7 if she gave me her Kindle fire (to sell and pay the difference). She loves it. I do, however, feel bad when I take a look at her device and see it all bogged down with tons of random apps such as "cake maker"

Picking my wife one up soon as well.

My wife is...unfortunately...possessed by the Cult. I'm stunned she hasn't pushed for an iPhone 4S yet and continues to use the Epic 4G.
Since she is hot and smart (except in tech) I'll keep her. LOL

My wife lasted about 3 days after seeing mine.... selling her Kindle Fire to get a Nexus 7. Most likely going with the 8GB, she does primarily online stuff, not much storage.

i bought my own. men are too needy. and want to play with my tech toys. but most of my friends would love this over a smart phone for most device's.

QFT.
My girl is very smart, built her own killer gaming PC, and can converse intelligently on about any subject. It's baffling how she fell for the iCult. I just smile, say nice things about the screen, and inwardly chuckle when she can't tether off her phone, plug in external storage, or do so many of the things we Android folk take for granted. I might just give her a Nexus 7 and see if that lures her away from the Dark Side of the Saint Steve Devoted.
To be fair, her first experience with an Android tablet was a Xoom running 3.0 ...and we all know how laggy and clunky that was.

I quickly got tired of sharing mine with the family so my girlfriend and six year old daughter now share one. It is mostly used to play minecraft by the six year old at the moment.

Not the wife...
Talked grandma into an 8GB N7, due to her Coby Android tablet having a resistive touchscreen and generally a lagfest.
Then after setting up her apps and homescreen on the new N7, I decided I needed a 16GB.

The wife normally gets the hand-me-downs (which are usually brand freakin' new devices lol) but this is my first tablet. I hid it from her for a few days because married men know what it's like to get scolded for buying new toys. But instead, she loved it and proclaimed that she wants one!
I'm so proud of my wife!! I always flash CM nightlies for her and she advocates Android and CM to anyone who mentioned anything about smart phones. She's converted a few Apple fans over to the Android platform too. I'm excited to get her a N7!

My wife is getting my Nook Color. But since I am running MIUI, I did at least put a very frilly theme on it!!!!

I bought a Nexus 7 for myself and my wife is super jealous! We're selling our 32gb HP Touchpad with CM9 flashed on it so she can get a Nexus 7 of her own.
My evil plan of filling our household with Android devices continues to take shape... Now all I'll need to do is to convince her to go Android when she's up for her mobile renewal

Will the 32gb be fixed of the defects and flaws?

I sent my third N7 back today. This time for a refund instead of a replacement, since clearly that was going nowhere (what a wasted four weeks).
Anyway, the iPad Mini should be announced tomorrow, and the 32gb Nexus is already guaranteed.
I know it's impossible to say what the iPad Mini will be like, but I'm still assuming the Nexus will be better for me. I prefer Android, the build quality is superb (besides about eighty million manufacturing flaws), it does everything I want, etc.
So now that I've got my $250 back (minus shipping...), is it safe to buy the 32gb Nexus 7 after it gets announced?
There's no WAY Google/Asus could begin production of another model without working out the flaws of the previous ones, right?
Right, guys?
oh god please say that's right.
Do you know my most secret, terrible fear?
...I'm afraid that the 32gb Nexus 7's will be only partly new, with the rest of them just being used and returned N7's with the SSD replaced. I mean, Asus must have SO many, right? They've got 3 from me alone, sitting on a shelf, used, unable to be sold like "new" again... unless they're refurbished, fitted with more memory, and resold... oh god that's so terrifying.

Dude, there are 4 threads on the first page alone relating to the 32GB version that this could have been posted in instead of clogging up the first page with redundant thread topics.
To answer your question. No one can answer your question.

Anything that is mass produced on the level of these products is bound to have defects. No one can say for sure if it will have defects or not. Last I saw there is about 3 million of them sold. So at a 1% defect rate that is 30k units with a defect. Seems like a lot, but not when you consider total sold. I would venture to say the defect rate is probably closer to a half a percent.

What flaws? All mine are fine...
Sounds like a troll or a drama queen....

Its an electronics forum, this is the Nexus 7 "SECTION"
Mentioning an iPad is okay, if its in relation to the Nexus 7, such as a comparison

There are already a couple threads discussing the 32GB N7, please just use one of those.

Theory as to why LG is constantly out of stock, and why Google made a bad decision.

I have a theory as to why the Nexus 4 is out of stock, and for such a long time. This may or may not have been mentioned before (probably has) but I just wish to discuss it. Remember, this is purely speculation.
The reason LG has only made around 400,000 handsets and starved production was due to their own flagship, the LG Optimus G. Every single thing about this phone, is IDENTICAL to the Nexus 4, besides the fact the N4 is rocking stock stock android and the aesthetics are slightly different. The N4 has an advantage among the developer community with it being able to be torn apart and tweaked and tinkered with, unlike the OG which LG is still being a little b____ about the bootloader on many of their recent phones.
The 16GB LG Optimus G is $800 here in Australia, and the 16GB Nexus 4 is $400. You do the math.
I don't know if LG's actuaries are idiots or something, but they would have known about the guaranteed success of the next Nexus device, going on the sales figures of all the other devices. LG thought that making a tiny amount of profit on every Nexus device and in turn increasing their companies reputation in the mobile business, was worse than not making ANY profit on their CRAPBOX 3000 (LG Optimus G). I can see where they are coming from, as they don't want their spectacular flagship to be left in the dust with full stock, but zero sales so basically I think they were just chucking a cry or something.
SO DON'T HATE ON GOOGLE FOR THE LACK OF NEXUS'
What you can hate Google for, is choosing LG in the first place. Yeah, they may of felt generous and were trying to support them but at the cost of their own company getting hated? Why didn't they just buy LG like they did with Motorola, and that would be the end of it? When I heard of the new Nexus Device, I celebrating because for some reason I thought they were going to choose HTC for production (who knows why). Nek minnit, they choose some struggling company that either can't or won't keep up with production.
This may of looked like a run-out-of-the-mill rant, but this was some, high-quality, researched ranting skills to pay the bills.
Discuss.

^ not sure what you meant by high quality research as I don't see any evidence, references and all I can see is pure speculations that have been floating around in this forum since the day problems with stock started.

I fail to see how you guys can always come up with such gossip.
Google has made contracts with LG and they are producing the amount Google demanded.
Whether it was Google ordering just a tiny amount of phones, or LG can't keep up with production, due to manufacturing errors or anything else, we will never know.
Also, LG is not a bad hardware manufacturer. They do have the capability to spit out hundreds of thousand devices a month, and they've proven that they can.
For your info: devices produced in October: 75k
Devices produced in December: 400k
As you can see, they can definitely keep up with the demand, it's probably just Google ordering only tiny amounts of it.
A contract breach, as in simply not delivering the amount of phones Google demanded, would have legal consequences for them, so I guess they will be thinking twice before hampering the production.
Cheers.

Lg has good hardware? Hmmmm...i don't know. Have you hold Lg L9 or L7, its a pure piece of ****. Quality zero. Maybe they build good displays and parts, but housing of every device is ****y. TVs also.

Lol, do you think "hundreds of thousands of devices a month" is anywhere near enough for a $600 phone priced at $350? Try several millions a month.
Oh and those production numbers were just speculation (albeit a logical one). No one knows the exact numbers.

Why does everyone blame LG? Is there a valid excuse for Samsung taking forever to restock the Nexus 10?

Good point. Google is just building the hype. If they wanted to really earn money on N4 they would behave differently.

Yes, 400k might not be enough. But don't expect the nexus to sell like the iPhone or a Samsung galaxy. There simply is no marketing at all for the nexus. Companies like Apple and Samsung invest millions every year into marketing. Have you ever seen a nexus 4 ad other than on YouTube?
Probably not. The nexus' demographic is mostly tech enthusiasts.

I don't think LG is intentionally halting the manufacturing process, i mean they would be really stupid to do so, some of of you seem to forget that one of the biggests ways to sell is having quantity over price, if LG sells 5 million Nexus 4 that would make them a ton more money than selling 1 million Optimus G :laugh: , also it doesn't hurt that a lot more people are talking good stuff (regarding quality) about them, that could never hurt a company .
What LG did on purpose (in my opinion) was refusing to provide a 32 gb version of the phone , so if people want more storage (and LTE) they should buy the Optimus G

I had a 2012 47" LG HDTV and the housing was actually pretty nice. They used some type of real brushed metal for the housing instead plastic made to look like brushed metal like other manufacturers. I ended up returning it for a bigger TV though.

I can only speak for my country, but advertising for the nexus 4 is nonexistent here.
Hell, the only nexus ad I've ever seen was for the nexus s a few years ago. On the other hand, there are Samsung and Apple ads multiple times a day.

"telly" suggest the UK or somewhere there which makes sense as someone else says the "Tube" and such which is London's subway .
In the USA however, there is 0 ads on TV for the Nexus 4, there are some for the Nexus 7 but NEVER has there been one for the Nexus 4 or 10. Not even in the newspaper other than reviews and such mentioning it. Maybe that's why they don't however as they've already got tons of (positive) press here. In general, you advertise to get your name out there and build brand, once you are out there and everyone knows your name you tend to save those ad dollars.

The Nexus 4 has been selling quite well (at least in Germany)

Just wanted to say im actually surprised i see at least 1 person each day on the subway using the nexus 4, sometimes even 3! out of curiosity i checked saturn's and mediamarkt (two of Germany's biggest stores) and the nexus 4 is on the top sellers on both of them! not bad , huh? with pretty much no advertising at all! guess the defining factor is the great price :laugh:

That's what I observed aswell (Frankfurt, Germany).
Recently in the queue of KFC there was a guy with a Nexus 4 who actually paid with Google Wallet. I did so, too.
5 of 20 people in my informatics course do own a Nexus 4, 2 have GNexes.
But I think Google has to get better away from this "Dev-only" Image.

The US consumers are generally more resist to changes, relatively more easily to commercial bombardment.
Plus most of them are deep into Apple's ecosystem thus even more difficult to switch to Android.
Thus you see more people using phones that has the most commercial coverage: Apple and Samsung.

There are about 6 people out of 120 in my school year (year 11 = 15/16 years old) who have N4s with a further 2 planning on getting one. By contrast only 2 people have iPhone 5s and surprisingly I think only 2 have GS3s. That's not half bad seeing as I'm in the UK where people are similarly prone to advertising as they are in the US. I see loads of GS3s around outside of school though, and have yet to see anyone using a N4.

i bought mine through the german play store, didnt want to wait until saturn and media markt get them
although ive never seen anyone else having this phone, probably because its only available in hungary for like 2 weeks, and its more expensive than in the play store. shame that google doesnt make the play store available europe-wide, it could be a huge hit.
lets see what the nexus 5 will achieve.

Nexus isn't available here in Ireland so its no surprise that I am the only person that my friends know who has one. I do not regret getting some favours called on to get the phone ordered and speed to me from UK.
But Google should really open the market for their phones in Europe. I want to buy the next nexus phone I get via play store. If may not be the nexus 5 that I get but whichever it is, I want to be able to get it from my own Google account.
The only real reason I can see that it is not available in Ireland is because the play store is not fully available here (is just apps, no music or video). Or at least that is the theory. And if that's correct, I know that is because some old people in offices connected to CD sales can't envisage a world of digital sales (or Apple has some sort of hold there).
Another theory is that nexus phones bypass mobile networks, making it harder for them to screw people into 18month contacts, so they resist the existence of the nexus.
But they can't hold back the shift in demographics forever. Especially now that some CD chain stores cannot stay in business here like they used to.
Also, less people (at least people I know) are willing to be tied on phone network bills now since there has been "problems" with excess charges and double billing highlighted (mostly highlighted due to social media)... And they are more aware that the cost in the long run for a free smartphone negates the freeness.
Didn't mean to go off on a rant there!
Anyway... I wish the nexus 4 was more common here!

You CAN get a perfect Nexus 4

For anyone who is thinking about buying the Nexus 4, but is worried about all the threads you've seen citing various problems with the screen, etc.
Perfect Nexus 4's DO exist. I bought mine off of the play store about 2 weeks ago, and everything was great except one thing - there was a screen defect that took up about 1/4" of the right side of the display.
I contacted Google who made the exchange process painless.. and I received my new Nexus 4 yesterday. It is, without a doubt, 100% absolutely perfect.
No hissing from the speaker, a brilliant screen, excellent blue tooth/wifi connectivity, fast as hell, great reception/call quality, just perfect.
I didn't have any of those problems with my other Nexus 4, other than that minor screen defect. Just wanted to let everyone know they are getting much better with their QA on these, GO GET ONE NOW!
Coming from a Galaxy S3, I can honestly say the Nexus 4 is the best phone I have ever had. Hands down I would sell my S3 and buy this phone all over again. Hell I might just buy another one, at this price point it's almost silly not to.
Feel free to chime in if you have a perfect Nexus 4

Received my Nexus 4 on 04/04/2013 and it is flawless as far as I can tell. None of the problems posted in threads on this site are present as of yet (knock on wood). I've had really good luck with online orders of electronics though. I know a lot of people that don't like ordering electronics on the Internet because they always RMA. Anyway, just thought I'd post for statistics.
Less on-topic than my previous paragraph, I love my Nexus 4. By far best phone I've ever had, hardware- and software-wise.

Mine's not flawless but the 'defects' are so small that they're not noticeable. My volume rocker squeaks a little when stroked from top to bottom. I know it sounds weird but that's the only way I can make the noise. It's very minute and you have to be listening for it specifically to hear it unless the room's silent. Five of my friends also have N4s and none of them have complained about them at all.

Mines perfect. Rev 11.

I didn't have to "warranty" exchange it because I will still within my initial purchase period (I think it's 15 days)
A warranty exchange is different because they can (and usually do) provide a refurbished device instead of a brand new one.
They offered me a refund, but instead I opted for an "advanced replacement". That means they send me the brand new phone but place a hold on my account for the amount of the phone ($359, they don't charge the shipping or tax) until I send the new phone back.
I received my replacement in 3 days and I am sending my original phone back today.
