Support NeoGAF

[Kagari]

Edit: N/m fixed it.

 

[A Human Becoming]

It seems like an asus problem not an android problem and bad luck.

Prior to the touchscreen becoming unresponsive I had the message "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." repeat until I was able to quickly power it off. Despite being more customizable Android isn't as good a UI as iOS. I won't turn this into an Android vs iOS argument but from nearly equal experience with both (4 Android and 5 iOS) I've had much better experience with the latter.

I remember seeing someone mention earlier in the thread about an app that is basically netflix for magazines. Does anyone know what the name of it is and whether I can use it in the UK? Thanks

This is what he did not want.... Its a problem if Google launch a product thats not fully tested and has build quality issues. If I spend my money on the latest and greatest piece of kit it need to work.

Indeed. He should buy a product that has never had any kind of product issues. Like nothing ever.

I didn't notice any issue until I read about them and started using swype more on the android keyboard. For me it works most of the time, but it isn't right now because it's not picking up on all the keys I'm hitting. This is pretty bad.. And it's shame because I've really enjoyed using this device since I've bought. Everything on it has been working well (tried GPS yesterday and it worked FLAWLESSLY) so I really hope that this is only a software issue so that I don't have to bother replacing it.

Have all your android experience been with asus? Just wondering..

You have to sideload it, and it's not optimized for this resolution,so it has problems at this point.

I never really looked till now, but the new nexus does not support Google wallet. Looks like they did not put the secure element on the NFC chip so it will never work. That seems kinda dumb since the first one could do it.

maybe they only want phones to support it?

 

[Jzero]

Google Keyboard updated, i hope my issues are solved with the update.

Anyone able to get .gifs on GAF to play smoothly on this thing? Tried Chrome, Dolphin and AOSP browsers and no luck so far. Is Firefox worth a shot or is it fruitless..

Gifs worked fine for me in Firefox iirc.

Or it's a failure and they won't even bother putting in there own stuff anymore.

Thanks, Firefox is awesome. Smooth gifs and very sharp text.

GIFs are smooth in Firefox, at first I just thought the device couldn't handle a page of GIFs because every other browser I had tried couldn't manage it.

Unfortunately almost all my Android devices have. They weren't minor issues either, such as when once in a while the sound on my iPhone won't work unless I have a headset attached. Rubbing alcohol alleviates the issue. That's different from a defective touchscreen, randomly restarting, random error messages, software defects (Verizon upgraded me to an Incredible S because I could not longer receive text messages or voicemails on my Incredible) and sluggish performance.

Have all your android experience been with asus? Just wondering..

The first three were HTC. The Droid Eris was a POS and the Droid Incredible performed poorly. Incredible S was a significant improvement.

Essentially this. I want to like Android, but the features and quality control for me never match the slick technology.

Did you try a full factory reset yet?

Dolphin is just aosp browser in a wrapper so will react the same. Chrome is just chrome (is always been shit with gifs)

Try opera or Firefox. Though opera is now using WebKit as well so it may well get the gif playing herpes.

It's not available on the N7 unfortunately and I'm not wanting to to root it. Thanks for the tip though. Still no issues with the device. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Nope, not on Apple. And regarding other devices: My Wii U has never restarted randomly nor has my Kindle had random error messages pop up. You're being defensive. While you're right these happen on other devices (especially computers), never have any had these sort of issues from the beginning, except for my ASUS (!) laptop shutting down when I closed the lid. I was able to fix it by updating a driver. Many of my poor experiences with Android seem adherent to the OS based on the similar problems across platform.

Did you try a full factory reset yet?

You mean through boot loader? I probably should have at least tried, but from what I had read it requires a return. Already unhappy with my purchase, it was the final straw. I didn't want to fight it to work the way I wanted.

I will second that...

I just got my new nexus 7 and im wondering what is the best pdf reader app for it?
On the previous nexus 7 i used Radeaa but it seems to not support the new nexus 7.

GOOGLE WHERE IS THE LTE VERSION? I'm going insane without a tablet.

*Dies*

 

[pestul]

I'm always on my N7 now. Love this thing. I just wish the battery life was somewhat better. I'm also worried this thing is becoming a Simpsons Tapped Out toy for my wife lol.

I'm getting 8-9 hours screen on time what are you getting?

 

[Zoe]

The bf just got one of these and was setting it up today.

So... are these prone to bricking? It reboot several times throughout the afternoon, and this last time it didn't come back up.

Edit: welp. The USB port just fried itself. Back into the box it goes.

 

[Vyer]

Why is the bottom right speaker also a magnet

 

[Cr0wn0]

Was really hoping to use one of these with a BT keyboard for notes. Tried to with 2 different keyboards and I had issues with each. Classmate let me check out their setup with an iPad mini and it was awesome. Shipped the nexus back and picked up a Mini. The screen on this thing is awesome though.

 

[Threi]

most electronic speakers have magnets in them, thats how they operate

 

[Brinbe]

Upgraded from the old nexus 7. This shit is definitely worth it, a totally different device.

 

[Vyer]

Interesting. Never noticed it on any of my devices before

Touché. I should have worded that more precisely. Still, frequency is important to consider.

 

[RuGalz]

Restarts are happening again on my second device. At least one a day. I'm very impressed by everything else about this device but if this keeps up it's gonna get tiring to be reading a book or listening to a podcast wondering when it's going to suddenly show me the Google logo.

Haven't seen any restart of all 3 of my n7 after I flashed them with factory image. I read some people are getting it due to bad factory flash, worth a shot.

 

[The Internet]

So I'm a dummy and don't know where my Nexus 7 tablet is. I have tried that Android Device Manager and it says "Location Unavailable". I'm wondering if it was stolen is there any way the culprit can turn off the tracker?

 

[DarkFlow]

Exchanged my rebooting 7 today. Got one that works right this time. Last one would reboot randomly, and also could not be overclocked. If I even went to 1.6Ghz it would spaz out and go into a boot loop. New one has no issues, and handles 1.8Ghz like a champ so far.

well... if you didn't password protect it, all that needs to be done is go to Google settings and disable it...

 

[reKon]

Because of my custom recovery, the OTA updates don't seem to be applying after I choose to restart and install. I might jump to a custom rom because of this. Has anyone been running CM 10.2 and if so, how's battery life and performance been? I may flash a good kernel as well as long as performance is as smooth as stock has been

Is it an LTE one?

Since, y'know, it needs to be connected to the internet to report it back.

I lost my N7 the other week on the underground and that happened to me (luckily someone found it and handed it in).

Kindle works perfectly for me.

 

[sestrugen]

My youtube app seems to freeze intermittently and wifi seems to react really slow sometimes, works fine on my other devices but my n7v2 has some problems from time to time, other than that great device.

2 dead pixels but they dont bother me enough to exchange it

Uh i don't think that's possible, just tried to open one of my PDFs with it. I just use Adobe reader.

What do you mean that it's "[not] possible"? I've used Kindle app as PDF reader on multiple Android devices, and it works fine - better than any other PDF reader app I've tried, in fact.
