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!

Works beautifully for me. Problem free!
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.

16gb version with no problems no dead pixels either I checked
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.
Just needed to tell someone....
Not the only one

Yes just swapped up to a 32gb one. Had a 16gb version a few months now, that one had the screen lifting problem but this one is perfect!
Actually had forgotten how great the Nexus 7 is as I've been having a bit of fun with a Galaxy Note 10.1.

You are not alone! I use my Nexus 7 for almost everything. Only 3 things I need now. 1. Y-cable. Will buy soon. 2. Ubuntu to get some bugs worked out. And finally.....3. The ability to dual boot. Ubuntu, installed next to Android? Hell yes. Thank you sir, may I have another?
I have from 3 days and I have completely forgotten to use my defy+
Love it!
Love mine as well. Now I'm itching for the ten...

:good: and I even like it with 4.2!
I love mine too! 4.2 not so much until Devs catch up and we have Recoveries that play nice with it. It also broke ability to use USB storage devices with it. I got it from playstore when it came out. It arrived the 2nd day after. 1st thing was unlock and root. Ran stock 4.1.2 until I put on a custom 4.2 (plain vanilla )rom. I previously had Galaxy Tab 7.0+. Very expensive and I thought I was getting the best. It was OK, but my 32Gb N7 beats it six ways from Sunday in smoothness, reliability. Also the GT7 had a proprietary charge and data port/cable. It was USB but you needed a converter cable for lots of stuff. The N7 is great out of the box but awesome!! when unlocked, rooted and rom'ed. Everything just seems to work better. Movies, music, email, calendar, notes, to do's games, You name it. Now if I could just make calls on it...oh, wait, with Google (Voice?) you can I am told!
Problem with 4.2 is it messed up the sd card file partitions so that I can no longer make Nandroid back-ups. I sure it will be fixed in a few days. Meanwhile, I am enjoying the crap out of this thing.
Loved it since I bought it. Eyeing the N73G for the holidays, then the Mrs. Gets the 16.

could you possibly pm me with any links for info on this as ubuntu recently took my interest
I feel exactly the same, not perfect but it's by far the most practical gadget I've ever owned. The iPad and S3 hadly get a look in these days.

Loving my nexus 7 as well. As a apple fanboy the nexus really has impressed me. The only thing I don't love about the nexus (android problem i guess) is that none of the browsers can compare to the Safari-browser found in the ios echo system. Sluggish scrolling, accidently clicking links when scrolling never happens to me on my ipad or iphone. Google, tweak the chrome-browser and my apple fanboy days might be over.
I have mine for 5 weeks now, I just wanted to know if there were a lot of Belgian people who have a Nexus 4, since I havent seen one..
Discuss about what ROMs you are using or gadgets for the Nexus 4

My Nexus 4 should be arriving next week friday or the monday after.
Rooting is definitively on my to-do-first list. Haven't had a single device that I kept unrooted longer than 1 week.
My HTC One S is currently running LiquidSmooth, so I'm looking forward using that on the Nexus 4.
It's still a rare sight here in Belgium, I've only spotted 2 in real life. But so is my HTC One S.
I've had it for a bit more than two weeks now.
Rooted it after a couple of days.
Battery life is decent (1-2d) when the screen brightness is turned down.
Ordered screen protectors and car mount.

Hi, yesterday I went to Staples to buy the Nexus 7 32gb for $169. I asked the Staples employee if the Nexus 7 discontinued? He said yes we are getting the Nexus 8. So I don't know if there is truth to that, but he answered pretty sure. And it felt like they already have some stock for the release date. Is it possible we can get a Nexus 8 instead of 7. I asked 7 or 8 he answered Nexus 8.
I found this also

Could be a nexus 8 at october. But is possible also a nexus 7.

I dont know. Maybe they have stock? I asked him that( so the nexus 7 is discontinued? Becuse you guys getting the newer model? And he responded yes Nexus 8) thats all. He might be stupid and just guess if its 7 then the new model is 8? I dont know.

Yes, I bought mine almost 2 weeks early at Staples.
Just a thought but, Maybe he was confused and assumed that the new one would be called Nexus 8 because it comes after 7. I think it's safe to say with all the leaks that 7" is what is replacing it. I honestly don't think they'd do a 7" AND 8". That would be a VERY bad idea and would cause confusion and kill sales. I think it's cafe to say that Google will keep the 3 Device setup but try out a couple of others (rumors of Game console (like OUYA) and a watch have been floated).
I think Google would keep this information more private and request it not be shared with employees. Like said, it is probably the Nexus 7 Second Generation.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
You should go back to the same guy and ask if he has any idea when its coming out.
He probably didn't realize the 7 meant a 7 inch screen size and thought the 8 was the second generation like iPhone 4,4s,5...

I am surprised he didn't say Nexus 7s or something, but you can never be sure.
Well well never know for sure until we get some leaks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Actually you won't know for sure before the release. Leaks mean pretty much nothing.
I'm sure in nexus 7 2nd generation at october.

Yeah we've had some "leaks" but still don't know a thing.
I've heard some many "involved" people say August. Retailers wouldn't be clearing stock months in advanced. iDevices don't sale until another one is announced, give or take a week.
Apple is at least more structured with their release dates. Google makes it hard. Nexus phones can be released anywhere from September to December.

You got one out of three:

It's Nexus 5, Nexus 8 and Nexus 11.
I think the Nexus 8 is a good looking design concept.

isolated supposed to have been delivered in the states the nexus 6 with Kitkat. Whether the stories are true or not I dont know.
Maybe anyone has a Kitkat-Rom for the Nexus 6 ?
greetings, Peter
Nexus 6 was delivered with lollipop. Unless someone does a crazy backwards port, I wouldn't expect the nexus 6 to get kitkat at all

There was an early issue with some Nexus 6's where they came with KitKat and are in a factory test mode. This mostly happened to ATT versions of the phone.

I know people had asked for them to pull the software off the phones but I don't think anyone did and or were able to. I haven't seen anyone mention this issue in over a month.
The phones didn't work at all on KitKat. They would start and go to black screen. They recalled them. No one ended up with a n6 on KitKat that worked.
