I have been playing with mine for a couple days, it is so awesome, I can't out it down. I DID start to see screen lift, because I was looking for it. If I don't look for it I don't notice it. Am not getting any creak or other issues. If screen lift gets to a bothersome point I think I'll just fix it myself as I don't want to part with an otherwise perfect unit!
So initially I couldn't get Whatsapp to install, device not supported. Thanks to XDA I did a backup from titanium on my phone and a restore from titanium on my N7 and it works beautifully! Did the same for some other apps and they work too! Love my Nexus7 10x more now.
Also I got an app called tablet talk. So good! I can now SMS/call using my cell nu,Ber from my tablet! This may be part of why I can't put this thing down.
Its buttery smooth except for some apps which are obviously not optimized. This actually made me more forgiving about those same laggy apps on the Note.
GPS/navigation while tethered to phone is sick.

This may not be sent from my Nexus 7 (hey, some of us love our laptops), but I certainly agree with you. I've been loving everything about my Nexus 7. The clarity of the screen, the build quality, size, Google integration, Android itself, etc... I'm overall quite fond of the setup. I've purchased a couple accessories, most of which I need to get yet, but I'm particularly antsy about the seat bolt tablet holder for my car. I'm hoping I can have a solid mount point for the Nexus 7 for use with GPS.
Personally, I'm growing more and more disinterested in Google Navigation since they don't offer true offline maps (sorry to say, but their "offline area download" they offer is a terrible joke). I'm testing Sygic right now and so far I love it. Sygic (logically) allows you to download maps based on state, so I can download what I need via state instead of downloading by a specific squared off area like in Google Nav. Don't get me wrong, I love Google Nav - but when I was in the boonies in North Carolina for 30 minutes driving blindly waiting for a signal to get rerouted, I quickly knew true offline is what I needed. At 30 bucks for the USA version, Sygic is hard to sneeze at. Food for thought if you ever find yourself in the NC boonies like I did.
Aside from that, I'm absolutely loving everything about my Nexus 7. Me saying this, I find, is rather intriguing too - because I've been a long time tablet hater. But hey, now that there's FINALLY a logically priced tablet that performs beautifully, it's hard to ignore it. :good:
Thanks for the navi tips. I also need to get something to put mine n the car, can't wait. I always hated tablets too and this device insta-converted me!
I just got my Nexus 7 yesterday and I haven't been able to put it down. Its a fantastic device.
I do have a little screen lift as well but nothing too bothersome. I can fix it myself later on since all the other things about this device are perfect.
I couldn't not stop using nexus 7. I think I'm addicted to it

I bought one a week ago and had it a couple of days when I brought it to my GF house for the weekend. Once she used it she wanted one... I gave her mine since it was around her birthday, and I had my new Acer A700 to play around with... Well two days ago I ordered another Nexus when they came back in stock at Google since I missed it so much. It's the perfect size for gaming as I find my 10" tablet too unwieldy to hold. It's a great little tablet......
Just for an indication - the Google Play store says I have 71 apps installed.
That does not count the ones I have tried and deleted.
I got mine about two weeks ago. It has pretty much replaced my PC for reading mail and news.
Certainly keeping me too busy to get in trouble.
Good for you guys.

Same here. Never would've thought I would like the 7in. Form factor so much compared to 10.1in. Prime. I love it. Its great size for gaming. Just finished playing some online deathmstches in nova3. Now browsing xda listening to Pandora(Faithless channel) in background. Plugged into my lil surround sound system. Sounds great.
The nexus 7 experience gets even better once you unlock. I'm running stock rom with custo motley linaro based kernel with CPU OC @ 1.624 Ghz and gpu OC @ 520mhz. So much butter it clogs your arteries lol. Google/Asus has a winner here! Like Ipad, it just works. Jellybean on Android is the best! Might stream a movie or something shortly. Either through web browser or maybe Crackle.
I hate to say it, but im just fed up with my nexus 7 and looking for any other android tablets out there that work. im going to return it and get a refund to use to by a different tablet.
I really liked the nexus 7 and really wish i did not have to switch, but its just one issue after another with the nexus 7, and now my nexus is basically useless because it is always having trouble connecting to wifi. I have searched for a fix and there is no sign of a fix from either google or the community that fixes this issue. And before that issue there was the bluetooth stuttering and the nexus refusing to play nice with other chargers unlike every other android device ive seen. My nexus sometimes even refuses to turn on, and only does after holding the power button down randomly over a period of hours.
So im wondering what other 7 inch tablets are out their (other than the kindle or ipad) that would be a good alternative. Right now im looking at the galaxy tab 2 because it is cheap and has good specs as well
You'll be sorryyyyy

There's a reason those Galaxy Tabs are so cheap. It was never a well reviewed tablet to begin with. It's an old piece of hardware, and you don't even get all the neat little software tweaks of the Note 8. I can't imagine a scenario in which that's a better purchase than the Nexus.

Never had any of these bugs on my either of my N7. Sounds like you got a defective one or you made a poor flashing decision. What rom/kernel are you on?

Well then i need to somehow diagnose the problem.
Is there any log files that android creates which might give a clue to what exactly is going on when it tries to connect to a wifi point? or any console or something similar which will show what is going on?
U might want to try the old classic test, try another router.
Maybe at a friends place, mall or something.,

There is no good alternative for N7, and even if one emerges - it can only be the successor.
Other tablets that MAY be more powerful/have bigger screen/be equipped with better batteries/etc. will only be actual for few months then the vendor will release an updated version or forget about the device completely
I don't understand these complaints... My N7 32GB Wi-Fi has been fantastic and bug free. Honestly, the battery is great, Wi-Fi is great, screen has no issues...
What the heck are you doing to your N7 to break stock performance? It's a great tablet out of the box.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Haven't experience anything wrong when my n7 was still stock. I was suppose to trade it with something else at first, but my husband said no, because its a great tablet, and it is. Even better when rooted.

Not every tablet that is shipped is going to be perfect. Things break. That's why there have things called warranty.

Alright, look here. You have 3 choices:
1) Wait until Google I/O for the Nexus 7 successor announcement
2) Change your kernel/ROM combo
3) Sell your tablet and downgrade to the GT2
Usually WiFi instability is a kernel issue so your problem may lie there. Some other members were saying it ISNA router problem, and it can be, but its unlikely. Good luck with whatever decision you make though.

Just because yours is, doesn't mean everyone else's is. Seriously? The guy is having some problems with his tablet, and we're trying to help him out. Saying that "lol mine is working fine hurrr" is not contributing anything.
Yes, but as someone said above that's what the warranty is for...
I was having connection issues with my N7 because I had 2 different wifi routers with the same SSID. This wouldn't have been a problem except that one was an 802.11n and the other was 802.11g. Silly thing kept switching AP's.
By some wild chance is your router a Dlink? My n router is.

Au contraire!
The OP is written in such a way as to imply that the problem is a well-known software defect that "Google isn't fixing". The fact that other N7 users - stock or otherwise - don't experience any similar difficulties should help the OP understand that there could be a whole variety of other factors involved, e.g. hardware defects or an interop problem with other networking gear.
It takes two to tango when it comes to networking, and - despite standards - interop problems between WiFi gear manufactured by different vendors are a dime-a-dozen.
For instance, I've personally experienced interop problems between a different android device and a WiFi router, where that router was successfully being used with a wide variety of other devices. Despite it being "obvious" that the Android device was the source of the trouble, the solution that eventually worked was to update the firmware on the router. What that demonstrates is that it is possible for bugs to exist *between* two devices; it is very difficult to assign blame in those circumstances.
The OP should probably try seeing what his/her result is with a variety of public hotspots (as previously suggested) - if the trouble persists over a large number of different pairings, then either he/she is the unluckiest person in the world, or the particular tablet in question has a problem of some type specific to that unit and not experienced by the user base at large. The only way to logically come to this conclusion is to be aware that plenty of N7 owners do not experience such troubles.
cheers

Hearing some negative stuff about reboots, inconsistent dock attachment and still stuttering, makes me think twice. This thing is damned expensive.
Keeping my tf700 and buying a new gpad or nexus 8 may be in the cards. Lol.
Per my other posts it is concerning that best buy has eradicated most of the infinity eee line from the stores. That and the fact that I feel a bit "rooked" by my purchase of the tf700 in that I thought I was getting a powerhouse device. Still love it though

Not forget you read specially here about the so called negative stuff because we are used to discover these things much earlier than "normal" users.Not forget also that the users that have no issues at all are at least a factor 10 more than the one that have one or more minor to severe issues.
In all the tablet is very good but go in the thread of the nexus 10 or latest samsung tablet and they have their own "negative" things too.
Tablet works flawless for me. Stable, stunning display and having come from a TF700 this is blazingly fast! No dock issues with fitment for me. The only complaint is that I wish Asus still made the more "premium" aluminum dock. The new docks just feel like a cheap toy by comparison to the tablet quality.
I have no problems with mine, too. Blazing fast. No hickups. Ok, tablet is a little loose in the dock, but mine doesn't disconnect... yet
Sent from my K00C using Tapatalk
Mine is wonderful so far. I haven't got the dock yet, but it's performing well with everything I throw at it. Chrome jitters a little, but it is the same on my girlfriend's nexus 10.
I'm happy I bought it. After the horrible tf201, I almost swore off another asus tablet.
This speed demon has my girlfriend jealous. I can't stop playing with it. Having had the TF700T this seems like a Maserati compared to the old Ford Escort..

every thing has a bad side to it. my complaint right now is it gets hot fast. the performance is okay, definitely below my expectation. But thats why im waiting for either a custom asus rom or aosp. all of which will perform better than the stock rom we have right now
Im sure sdbags will do wonders with this tablet as he did the tf700. But I do have stuttering and it rebooted on me once. I pressed the home button and it stuck being high lighted, pressed the power button once and it rebooted.

The TF701T is running android JB 4.2.2. These sound like early bugs that Asus is still working out. This happens with most releases from them. They are pretty good at issuing updates to fix them early on in the life cycle. Hopefully they are also working on KK4.4 as it absolutely flies on my nexus 5 especially as Google are dropping dalvik just in time (JIT) compilation and have introduced Android RunTime (ART)
My initial TF701 had a problem with the dock connection - tilting the screen even e few millimeters towards me resulted in the device turning off. I returned it and waited until it was clear that this was an incidental rather than structural problem. I got a new one about a week ago and I love it! No problems to date.
I have noticed some strange graphic artifacts. Once upon boot, I had a black screen with white lines until I made it sleep and woke it again. Today I bought GTA vice city, and I see strange graphics that correspond to gameplay. Has anyone else seen this? I'm guessing it's software, which doesn't bother me too much, but after the tf201, I'm leery about missing my return window or unlocking early.

Just got mine. I had that same problem with black and white screen the first time I attached to dock and it updated itself. That was just a few hours ago. Otherwise all seems good. I do notice the screen does not seem as bright as my TF101 and the colors do not seem as true.
I am looking forward to rooting and getting upgrade to KitKat

Use the Splendid App that the device supplies to adjust your color palette. I have mine on - 6 (cool). Seems brighter and more true on that setting. At least for me.

Does the "lenses" feature work for any of you guys? All I've seen so far is it on iPhone. However, their update on the play store states that it's only available on newer phones. Can SnapChat just not detect my face or did they leave us out?
same problem here with the note 5. works fine on the note 4 tho.
Note 5 AT&T here. Snapchst Lenses isn't working for me either. Trying to find out why, but nobody seems to know the answer yet. Tried it on my sisters Note 3 and it worked great.

Here is a Samsung S4 rooted phone with Stockware from samsung, android 5.0.1, who is also left out. I got it to work on an xperia z2 android 5.1.1 non rooted.

Thats what happens HTC releases a new phone. I had the same issues when they released HTC M9. This may sound silly, but its true from my 5 year experience with HTC. When they release a new phone, they have a strategy to make the old phones sluggish, so that we all think for a new upgrade. Over the time its killing HTC and people going to upgrade with different brands. It could be service pack, sense launcher or any app (which I couldn't trace). I think it was the last sense home update which made my phone unresponsive sometimes (update was received around a week back). Anyways, if the new HTC phone doesn't make sense, I will never use sense on my smartphone! and from a week, I am hating my phone for its lazy performance and HTC for releasing such update!
- By once a HTC fanboy
Yep that's why I need to either get back into rooting and rom it up, or just jump ship. Been HTC since the touch but I can't stand having a phone only last for a short time. And this phone is the cleanest that I've ever had. Been in a case and glass since day one. But call volume is ****, charging port never holds, and sluggish/freezing is killing me especially for how much I need it to just work for my job. I been wanting to go Nexus, but I constantly see mixed reviews. Plus I live the IR blaster on these phones. Perfect for what I need. So I dunno
