anyone have experience with these

they look like a hell of a deal if its legit, and by the reviews, it seems to be. FEEDBACK anyone?
mods, please edit to have title. sorry. and thanks!
Seems like they might be taking the stock 1500 mAh batteries and rebranding... not sure though. Even so, would you rather swap batteries when its dead, or have one that lasts longer between uses? Both would have their own benefits... and if they are actually 1500 then they'd be slightly better than our stock, regardless. I might do some research into these guys, thanks!
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
Let me know if you get them. Im really curious, but my laptop just took a crap. Thats gonna be a bill dont wanna see

Seriously doubt they're OEM quality, but I'm just curious if they're beyond the stock 1300mah units that came stock in our dINCs. I have some Amazon credit I need to use soon and have been eying these for some time now. May take the plunge and see the outcome, will certainly post a update if I do.
Anyone ever get these?

Not I. Some not so positive reviews eventually came up on Amazon which was enough for me to steer clear of these knowing they weren't OEM or made by a reputable third-party.
The N7 isnt being sold in my country, so some friends will be visiting the USA this month and i want them to buy me one. The thing is, after reading about some of the problems the device has, and people returning it 3-4-5 times, im afraid im gonna get a defective device and then im screwed cuz i wont have any store to go and replace it.
My Nexus7 has no problems at all and I love it. Its well worth the price I paid for the 16GB.

I'm from India and I'm also afraid about product quality. Here getting 8GB model for $250. I want to know, is nexus 7 supports USB on the go feature so that I can use pen drive for external storage? and what are cons you guys faced with your nexus 7 yet?
Guys, don't step out in the road, you have more chance of getting hit by a bus than you have of getting a bad N7!
The N7 works with all kinds of external storage but you need to root it first, there's good instructions on what to do on these forums when you need them.
/edit, just had a thought, those might not be very good odds in India
As someone who has received three units with screen lifting, I wouldn't caution you as strongly as you might expect me to.
That's the only really common defect, and in most cases it is not severe enough to affect usage. The last two I received have been minor cases of separation. The reason I won't accept this flaw is because of the possibility that it will worsen over time, but keep in mind that this is speculative.
My experience with the device has been overwhelmingly positive aside from this, and if the Nexus 7 is right for you then it may be worth purchasing even if you do get one with the kind of separation I've been dealing with. Although the warranty friendly fixes have been found to be temporary, if it bothers you that much then good old fashioned super glue will do the trick. Many who have gone through multiple returns have decided that they like the tablet enough to dispense with this RMA business and jimmy it down themselves.
Don't let anyone tell you that screen lifting is a rare thing, but it's not the end of the world. This is a great device even with the fault.
You can get your friend to check it for you and if its bad return it on the spot.

I'm new in this forum and know nothing about rooting, but I would love to root my nexus 7 if someone give me link to proper instructions.
And yea the price for 8GB Nexus 7 is best anyone can get in India right now. On ebay india it costs approx 320$ for 8GB N7.
So buying N7 8GB for 8GB is a great deal for me.
Is there any chance that by now there is an already free defects batch rolling out?
I remember when the HTC Sensation came out it had also multiple issues. I bought mine about 5 months later and had no issues at all. I cant do it here because either i buy it this month or i wont buy it at all
:bump:
@Dr. Sheldon take a look at the android development sub-section in the Nexus 7 forum. There are several methods of rooting the device, most of them requires little interactions with the device.
Also, the ones who have had defects are among the thousands who haven't encountered any problems, so your odds should be pretty good. Best luck to you mate.

Don't be afraid, that's what Apple want to to feel. That's where this whole myth of Nexus7 problems originate from...
The vast majority of Nexus7's are fine. You only hear about the ones with problems.. (or claimed problems. I suspect only 10% of those are genuine, the other 90% Apple viral marketing at work).
People here are saying there's a small amount of defective n7s but I'm on my third one. First 2 had dead pixels, and my current one has screen lift. Guess I have extremely bad luck
I got mine overseas and notice screen flickering and screen tear the first day.
I also cannot return it.
But I pop it open (easy enough) and tighten the screw, it seems to fix the screen tear.
Only notice the tear once yesterday after a whole week. And people on forum already has solution for flickering.
So I cannot settle if it is hardware or software related.
I think for the price of half an iPad, it is lighter and smaller.
So I can definitely deal with the small imperfection.
So go ahead and get it.

The very vocal minority here may have problems, but the majority (the 99% lol) have no issues. If there was a global issue, I'm sure you'd hear about it on NBC/Fox/CrApple News/etc. I have my Nexus, no issues and I love the thing. Great device and no regrets!

Hi Dr. Sheldon
I have hours worth of videos on the Nexus 7. Showing OTG functionality(mouse/keyboard, remotes, usb hubs, controllers, camera connection and control), how to root, comparison, NFC in action, streaming your desktop screen, and more. My youtube channel is down below in the signature. But these are my perspective. There are allot of great videos others are publishing showing all the good and bad from different viewpoint. As a developer and hobby android developer, this is a great device. This is a great forum and community that will really unlock allot of potential in the Nexus 7, the most interesting sub-forum in my opinion is the Nexus 7 Developer.
For rooting Nexus 7, this is a very comprehensive video that was put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrZaU5i2x4w&hd=1
Best Regards

You need to do some reading in the forums. All of the questions you have posed have been covered many times in other threads.
There are whole threads on Rooting, OTG, Shipping, Problems etc...

There is no such thing. There will always be a number of defective devices for various reasons when things are mass produced. The number of issues you are seeing in the forum is skewed as most people who have no issues, rarely use forums or post about their experiences.
I've now touched and used 5 brand new 16gb Nexus 7's out of the box and they were all fine. The first was in the first initial pre-launch batches with the latest being 3 days ago. I know that others have had issues but that is the experience that I've been seeing.
I got my 2nd one today and it has screen lift and burn in.
I'm getting a refund.

Long enough to notice. I think i've gone 2+ days without a charge. If anything, it makes me feel less plugged in all the time.
Good stuff
So.. I'd like to trade these for a micro SD card. 32 gb would be awesome! But i am willing to be persuaded for lower cards.
Cheers

Anyone used one of these ? Think a new battery is in order but not sure if theres are any good

I was wondering the same thing. Seems too cheap to be that good though.

I think its fake. if it is too good to be true than most likely it is
it looks like a oem battery with just a sticker over it... =/
You have blatantly not used search button before creating this topic. Gold batteries and other after market batteries have already been discussed on many occasions. There just isnt any need for another topic just to repeat same things.
They're fake capacities and bags of sh1t!
^ exactly, stay away from these. Capacity number is made up, and in a number of tests I ran in the past, I wasn't even able to get 2400 mAh out of these.
Not good
It's a cheap Chinese products. So how good can it be?
If you're still looking for a good battery, search Ebay for "deep stretch" it will be a red battery. Best battery I have ever used, and I get one for any phone I use.

Apparently it's BS. I'd just go for Anker who is VERY reputable or zerolemon.
