Wanted to get a feedback on the N7 run post its initial 4 months... I know all the issues reported were a small percentage from the actual, but are the old known issues resolved now? Are the latest units released from play store the next generation builds?
How's it going for you guys with the device?
I see GOOG doing a N7 with their N4 release (wow! ). Also see the ipad mini rumors coming true (wow, what a rip off). Really interested to see how's it going with this tablet?
I just bought a N7, and am loving every minute of it. The initial reviews scared me with so much going wrong such as the screen lift, GPS failure and other such reported bugs. I really haven't owned my tablet long (about a week or so) but I haven't experienced any of the complaints that were mentioned with the release. Everything works great on the device I got from office max. The main thing that all the complaints got me was a 2 year retail warranty, specifically because the manufacturer's has certain specifications for the glitches (is X number of dead pixels) for a replacement.
The 4.2 update is really all valid and mostly has to do with preference IMO. Hope this helped, because I definitely know the feeling after rummaging through this foum before buying.

I bought the original Nexus 7. I had a 16gb C80 variant. It was fine at first, but after a couple of weeks of light use (I was too scare to use it without a case), I got left hand screen lift. I took it back and got a refund. I was deciding what to do and then heard the rumours of the 32gb Nexus and thought about getting that. Then saw the 3g rumours and decided to get that.
I have heard that the latest "normal" Nexus's have improved in their build quality and that the problems of the early days are less and less. That said, I have not heard from anyone yet saying that the left side design flaw which is causing the lifted screen has been resolved. I "beleive" that they are still shipping units without the two screws on that side. It may be that is no longer the case, but I've not heard from anyone on here that it isnt. However, it seems screen lift etc is markedly reduced.
The 3g version has a re-designed rear. The microphones have been moved and there is now a sim card slot on the left side. I'm not sure if they have taken the time to address the screen lift design flaw, but my 3g has no problems currently with screen lift, bleeding, dead pixels, speaker etc. However, I've only had it a few days. I'm not about to open it up to see if its been fixed The 3g I have is a B0 serial number, so is a new model.
I was very uncertain about getting another Nexus and considered almost all the alternatives, but I'm glad I got it in the end. Currently its working great. Battery life is not the awesome figure I'm reading here of "2 days with normal use". I'm using it normally and I get a day out of it...mostly due to screen drain.
I have had mine for two months and so far I love it. My cousin bought one shortly after based on mine.

I've got an original 16gb pre-order N7. It arrived flawless and to this day has stayed that way. I use it a couple hours a day, no case and i have no complaints. Zero screen lift, no light bleed, no gps issues, speaker output is loud and clear. I Couldn't be happier.
Ya my 16gb N7 working fine since day 1. Never had any of the problems. Right now it's just the long wait for a custom ROM running 4.2 that sucks.
Have mine about 10 days (32GB) and it'll be replacing my laptop after i get an external HD to copy my music onto then laptop sold and just use the Nexus.:good:
32Gb WiFi only from Radio Shack. Some minor light bleed at top, 3 points - suspect screws are too tight. Flicker even without auto brightness on at low backlight levels persists on 4.2 even with strong WiFi signal - even with other custom kernels. Fix for all? Though hitting the battery - I just turn the brightness up a notch or two.
16Gb WiFi - flawless. No light bleed. Flicker very nominal, even yellow screen tint is very faint.
Newer Versions - not all issues are fixed yet. Go for replacement on the 32Gb? Haven't made up my mind yet. I suspect I will suffer the same issues with a replacement and not sure it's worth my time.
I'd picked up the 16gb one initially but that had a horrendous and completely washed out screen so took a refund and ordered a new one from another place and this one has been perfect. I love it and it's completely replaced my phone.
This issue is present in both sony models (xperia Z & ZL). I put my ZL side by side with my old at&t branded DUAL CORE galaxy s3, a nexus 4 (same exact processor), an iphone 5, and an at&t branded htc one.... my brand new crazy expensive ZL takes WAY longer to wake up from sleep then ALL OF THEM. Every one of these phones had a BIG LEAD over my phone. How is there not a thread about this already? When I saw my old GS3 woke up way faster I was sad.... but when I saw how fast the htc one screen woke up I was straight up embarrassed. What are the odds this issue will be resolved? Developers on this forum are very capable and willing to work hard but to an extent. With so much stiff competition I have to ask how many developers will invest their time into even looking into this issue. I have tried every rom/kernel available to me at the moment to no avail. I have tried changing every setting and even eliminated the lock screen... no change. I tried raising the min. cpu speed... nothing.
To make matters worse every single one of the phones I compared my ZL to had better viewing angles and a brighter screen then the POS screen sony decided to cheap out on and stick in this phone. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HIGH PPI IF I CANT SEE ANYTHING ON THE SCREEN UNLESS I HAVE MY PROTRACTOR OUT TO MAKE SURE IM LOOKING AT THE EXACT RIGHT ANGLE. Sony should give you a free protractor key chain with the purchase of this phone I heard about this in reviews but never took it seriously because I didnt realize the extent of the issue. If I look at my phone just slightly off angle the colors are washed out and if its sitting on the table and im looking down on it from my desk the screen is 50% washed out and some colors are muted.
I hear the htc one x had the same wake lag issues and it was resolved via a software update. I wonder if we will be so lucky....
Anyone have any idea or solution to get rid of or at the very least lessen this extremely irritable wake lag?? Let me know !!

To be honest, I don't notice any wake lag on my device. I was using a Note 2 prior to this phone, and there were complaints about the wake lag which I too noticed. Coming to this phone, my screen is quick to wake up. I have no complaints regarding this.
Screen angle, this is something many have been complaining about but I view my device at the normal viewing angle and so far it doesn't bother me. Yes, when I look at my phone while it being on a table, the color do look washed out, but again, nothing too bad. You're complaining about the lack of brightness on the device, however where are you facing such an issue? Indoors or outdoors? I use my device at the lowest brightness and yet it is brighter than my Note 2. I have no complains over the brightness of this device.
My only issue with it is the battery life and the vividness of the color reproduced by the screen, however I am sure it can be improved by software updates.
Order Nexus 5 as soon as it came out. I had high hopes for N5 from what I see on the internet. Great hardware spec and rather handsome looking.
My previous android phones were Acer Liquid, HTC Sensation, and HTC One S. I was choosing between blue HTC One and white Nexus 5 to replace my One S. Nexus 5's price and top spec won out.
When I finally held it in my hand, I thought "Ok, it doesn't feel as solid compared to One S but still not bad".
Then I started playing with it. Very smooth and fast, and the screen is gorgeous!
But after a month with it, I have an itching regret about getting it.
First is the speaker...I am no audiophile but damn...N5's speaker is really bad compared to One S. I turned the volume down to the last volume step and it is still pretty loud for me. I even edited framework.jar to increase the volume steps from 7 to 15 but even after this, it still sounded the same at the last volume step. I think the sound range of N5 speaker is very limited or something. One S speaker was able to sound very quiet but still clear.
Second is the battery life...drains very fast compared to One S. This could be due to the Full HD screen of N5 or relatively new KitKat. Another interpretation would be...Google is more honest about reporting the true battery life
Third is the LED...I think N5 has the ugliest looking LED on a phone I have seen. It's hard to describe but it is not fully rounded and with some other color mixed in on the peripheral of the LED.
I hope I don't come off as blasting N5 but with N5, I can tolerate it but not love it like my previous phones. Probably the last time I will get a LG built Nexus...from what I gather N4 also had horrible speaker and not so stellar battery life.
But getting a Nexus is about getting the latest Android. I really hope Google will go with someone else for Nexus 6, or I hope HTC's next year flagship will sell well so that there is more developer support.
Bummer. I'm really happy with mine. Well good luck to you.
cant put mine down. really love how it looks and feels. also its super fast with the nova launcher.
Battery life is good to me. I'm all stock and not rooted. I will believe you have good battery life once I seen your screenshots from the HTC.

No reason regretting your purchase. No one is ever stuck with a phone when they have one that is worth some money. Sell the N5 and you will make more than enough to get a HTC ONE or trade someone strait up. It sounds like you are a HTC fan and not really fond of stock android and that is okay.
Have you heard the speakers after the 4.4.2 update? They sound MUCH better to me.
Legit...

Fair assessment as everyone is different. I think you should stick to HTC if you want excellent hardware. The Nexus program is all about software and how Google perceives what Android should be to the end user (speed, quick updates, no bloatware). There will always be sacrifices (hardware) to achieve the price point Google must accomplish. After the 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 depending when you received your OTA, the volume is quite loud but of course not as loud as the HTC One. The LED is brighter then the N4 version.
I'll trade straight up

I have an HTC One (Verizon) that I dropped as soon as the Nexus 5 came out. There's no looking back for me, as I previously had a Nexus 4 and left it for the One. I'm back on T-Mobile, and back with the Nexus line, and I love it. So if you're really looking to dump your N5 and get back to HTC, send me a PM. I'll trade you straight up. My HTC One is Mint.
I've owned a few htc and samsung phones, also a galaxy nexus and a nexus 4, and for me the nexus 5 is the best device (looks+performance) i ever owned. Period.

I somewhat agree with you. My first N5 had the speaker problem. I returned it and my replacement sounds good now. It is plenty loud, but I would like a little bit better sound quality. Instead of one speaker and one faux speaker, two speakers would have been nice. My battery lasts me all day with even heavy use. By far, the biggest battery hog is the screen. I use Lux for better brightness controls, and Tasker to turn on/off wifi, data, GPS, and other battery thieves automatically. See my screen shot.
As stated by others, having a Nexus is more about the operating system and not the hardware. I use a Nexus for all the custom mods and Roms. You can't have a better device than the latest Nexus for that.

I was in your shoes.. Decided to let the N5 go.. And I was a big fan of the N4. The size, the feel in hand, the bad cracking speaker, I just wasn't happy with it.

Well.... in regards to the feel of the phone.... a lot of people went with the black N5, simply because of the different back panel. The white N5's panel is more of a smooth plastic, whereas the black is what i can best describe as slightly rubberized. Does feel quite nice, at least to me, coming from a Motorola Atrix 4g and a Galaxy S3.
As for the built-in speaker.... it's rare to find a phone where they're reasonable.... HTC One aside. It only has one tiny speaker, but still sounds FAR better than my GS3 and Atrix did. But i don't really use the speaker for much... so that doesn't really bother me.
Battery life.... i dunno... i have to say i think it does fairly well. Lasts a fair bit longer than my S3 did with similar usage, and even on the stock ROM.
As for the LED.... it IS "fully rounded"... it just has a bit of a dithered outside edge. I'm assuming that's to try and make it appear as less of a beacon of light in a dark room when it's flashing (Like my S3's notification LED was). As for "colors mixed in along the edge".... uuh.... you DO understand how RGB LED's work, right? They essentially have three semiconductor sets that, when current is applied, light up in a different color. One red, one blue, one green. Which is usually why they can only really do variations on those three colors very well... not so much with a custom color. If you look at the LED when it's trying to recreate "white".... you'll see that around the edge, it looks like there's some red, green, and blue there, too. That's because there is. It's how they create white light with RGB LED's. It's probably not really visible on some other phones because they probably do more to hide the outside edges of the LED. Kinda like how HTC seems to have a thing for hiding it in the speaker/headphone grille.
I feel like a lot of people are buying this phone without doing enough homework to know what they're purchasing. If you've actually read a couple reviews of the phone or spent any amount of time in these forums, there should be absolutely no surprises. Either know what you're spending your $400 on or don't complain when it doesn't live up to your uninformed expectations.

Had a GS4 too with a 64gb micro-SD, I was a little apprehensive at first, mostly due to the storage downgrade. But now, having my N5 for about 3 weeks, I don't regret it at all.

My point is that if you actually do your research before dropping a few hundred bucks and know what you're getting into BEFOREHAND (y'know, making a purchase as an informed consumer), it's pretty much a guarantee that you won't be underwhelmed or disappointed. Just sayin'.

To be fair, LG is having problems with quality control, and they also did do a sloppy job with the hardware design both which is causing quite a number of people to complain about the vibration loudness and lack of feedback which seems to worsen over time, and piping sound of the speakers and glue muffling the sound. Not to mention the issues with audio quality pointed out by Anandtech. These are things that can't be excused by the N5's low cost. The N5 does have the worst screen out of all the Android flagships with its crappy diagonal viewing angles, but better panels do cost more.
Anyway, I am happy with my Nexus 5, but any brand does have its fanboys, and they praise their brand and its products to the point of delusion the Nexus line is no exception. What I do find annoying are the clowns frowning on "newbs" and whining about how the Nexus line is only "understood" by developers and should be exclusive to developers. What a load of garbage...

Again, absolutely none of this is a surprise if you educate yourself about the product you're buying. It has nothing to do with fanboyism.
I will say, though, that I totally disagree with your assessment of the screen. I don't have a single use case that requires me to view the phone diagonally and off-axis. Viewing angles are great from the sides, top, and bottom, and that's all I need. To each his own.
You guys fail to realize this is a cheaply made $350 device. Stop comparing it to devices double the price

Has anyone noticed a slightly weaker vibration compared to other phones?
I own a Z1 Compact and the difference is like night and day actually. Maybe a faulty vibration motor in my unit?
No idé vibration is always the first thing I turn of on a phone...
Pretty weak vibrate on mine as well

I got my Z3C last week direct from Sony. Although I love the phone, the vibrate motor is definitely a weak spot (in my opinion). It is not as bad as the Nexus 4 (which was so weak that I returned it) but it is nowhere as strong as my Galaxy Nexus or GS4 were. It may be nitpicky to some, but I really prefer a strong vibrate mode, since I use that mode a lot.
I use Light Flow to tweak the LED colors and can at least assist the vibrate by changing the pattern/intensity for certain events.
I do not think it is a broken motor in your unit. I think they just opted for "less intense"..heck that may be helping it yield good battery life.
Light Flow helping me a lot
For what it is worth to other users, I tweaked Light Flow to a custom vibrate of 100,1200 for any app I cared about and it has helped me a lot.
All in all, I love the Z3C. I am using Nova Launcher Prime to tweak the icons a bit and to resize the grid scheme to better use the smaller space and Light Flow to maximize the LED notifications and improve the vibrate pattern. Everything else is left alone and working great.
I finally got my hands on a OnePlus One during their "open to the public" sale a few weeks ago. I used the OPO for 4 days and decided that the Sony was the better phone for my needs. The OPO did a few things better, but some things worse, so it was RMAed.

I love this handset. So much so that i purchased another one. The first one i purchased on the 9th of december for £499, and the second just yesterdyesterdayay for £549. Call me crazy, but it got so bad i was actually dreaming about the white 64gb version as i had originally purchased the blue 32gb version.
The nexus is not perfect. It has a few faults that need to be addressed, firstly being the in ear call volume. Its awful. The volume for listening to music via headphones is awful too. I was expecting so much betterbetter considering the stereo speakers are really good. The handsFree volume is also mediocre, and also, when i tap the handsfree icon during a call, theres a pause/delay of a few seconds which has become an increasing annoyance.
Anyhow, back to the main point. The white 64gb versions screen is inferior to the 32gb blue version i have. Its noticeable. The 64gb screen has a tint to it, isnt as vibrant and colors seem more washed out. Has anybody else experienced this? ive become disheartened. I wanted to love it as much as i do as the 32gb blue version, but its annoying that the screen seems inferior and darker and tinted.
I Love absolutely everything else about this handset. I am literally in love with lollipop, the screen size, the stereo speakers etc, but this difference ive noticed is playing on my mind. I have also noticed the 64gb is slower at opening apps when i place them side by side.
Either way, i still love the blue 32gb, and i am totally out of pocket for the remainder of the year due to these purchases, but Google has definitely injected some magic in there somewhere. Ive never purchased 2 same handsets around the same time before.
Can anyone assist me? Do you think i should return it for an exchange, or is this variation among screen quality common?
Most of us only have 1 phone. Maybe try posting a picture of both phones showing the same image with equal screen brightness settings so we can see what you mean?
wth...why do u have to use TWO lol...root that 64gb and install custom kernel/rom and use different profile colors RGB , i use 237.235.255 and it really is way better then the stock colors , and yes nexus 6 seems to 'lag', i think its more of a lollipop issue and also on what type of RAM and eMMC u have on the nexus 6... i have hynix ram and sandisk eMMC 32gb
i experience lag on certain apps/situations as well but i get great battery life as a tradeoff

The box has a sign on it that reads, "if you come close to this box, a man inside will stab you and then read the ingredients out loud from the side of a box of Pop Tarts. You see this sign, you understand what will happen if you approach this box yet you still feel the need to walk up and interact with the box. Now you are laying on the ground with a stab wound and you now have the knowledge needed to educate anyone on the ingredients of the average Pop Tart. You only have your self to blame here, for you saw the sign and you knew what would happen.
the sad thing is there will be people who just won't understand the meaning of this post
Honestly I would try an exchange. There are issues with the screen on these phones and u know its gonna bother u. Plus u paid good money for it so it shouldn't have the screen issue. I would exchange it.
Having dreams about phones? Ain't no body got time for that.
