Since I bought my AT&T Galaxy S4 is has been on the version 4.2.2 firmware. I've tried updating via both OTA and Kies, but for some strange reason, they both tell me 4.2.2 is the latest firmware, even though it clearly is not. I'm curious if there is actually some kind of bug in the preinstalled...

I was able to use smart pause on day one but after that it simply stopped working. The other features that track eye movement don't seem to work either with the exception of smart scroll. Any ideas why this might be?

For a 7", yes. Second to the NOOK HD I think. But I'd definitely rather have the Nexus 7 and not be locked into a proprietary ebook format and be limited to the pretty crappy selection of apps in the Nook store.

I don't use the stock YouTube app often, but many times it seems to crash the entire OS after a few minutes of use. Basically, there's a buzzing noise from the speakers and the device reboots. And I'm pretty sure the problem lies specifically with the app, since I've never experienced it with...

I simply put it in airplane mode when I'm not using it, and have found power consumption during sleep to be minimal. Honestly, I'm pretty satisfied with it. Speaker could be louder, and stereo sound would be nice. Resolution could be better too. But for the price, I can't complain much.

Got one about a month ago. It creaked on one corner for the first week, but for whatever reason stopped after that. It has crashed occasionally, but I assume that has to do with the OS rather than the hardware.

I had the same issue today and a hard reset fixed it. But I'd like to know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue so I can decide whether to return it or not. If it's just Android being a little buggy, I probably won't.
