    Nexus7 (2013) 4.4.2 Update

    Yes, my experience is different from yours so I must be lying. Take a breath and relax....jesus. I didn't say "all Nexus 7s are crap because Maps sucks on mine"...I simply noted that mine has an issue with Maps and multitouch that makes Maps borderline unusable for me, and that is frustrating...

    Nexus7 (2013) 4.4.2 Update

    Got 4.4.2 last night but just installed it today. Immediately had ghost touches and crazy lag, and pinch-to-zoom in Maps was reversed. Rebooted and it seems okay now, but Maps is still pretty jittery, particularly with multi-touch, although it has never been particularly smooth on my N7, much...

    does your N7 produce hissing sound when charging?

    Mine does it, but from what I can tell it's worst when it's fully charged. I had a spare charger from another phone and now use that without issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on Kitkat.

    Hmmm...I didn't notice any performance gains/losses on my N7/2013. The only thing I noticed was that the bar on top has white text instead of blue, which I actually don't really care for. And standard KK doesn't even include the transparent top/bottom bars like the N5.

    List of nexus 7 2013 problems

    My only issue is that Chrome bogs down quite frequently. Every few hours of use, it starts to stutter and will barely scroll and get unresponsive when I do tap-and-holds on links. If I go into multitasking mode, swipe it off, then re-open, it usually clears up. This happens regardless of how...

    Cases

    iBlaison came. I'm actually very impressed with quality. Minor chemical smell but no big deal. Feels pretty well put together even compared to expensive cases. We'll see how holds up, but I don't anticipate giving it a lot of abuse, so I hope it lasts a while.

    My iBlaison should be waiting for me on my doorstep. Based on the pics above, it looks to be just what I was hoping for. And for $6, it'd be hard to complain if it wasn't...

    Cases

    Official Travel Case came in the mail today. Fits pretty well and functions as promised. It would probably work well in a book bag or backpack, provided there isn't a lot of loose metal or sharp objects that could crush up against it, since it has no rigidity or mechanism to keep it closed...

    List of nexus 7 2013 problems

    Seems like software to me, because it's only problematic for specific apps. I mean, maybe the games I've tried just weren't "touchy" enough to make the problem apparent...I'll download some very touch-heavy games and see if it's noticeable. Also, I'm not familiar with the tracking touches...

    List of nexus 7 2013 problems

    Mine has some touch sensitivity/response issues, but they really only seem to manifest in Chrome...games seem to work perfectly, as do apps like Facebook and Twitter. Most of the time I press a link in Chrome, I don't get the visual indicator that the link was pressed, other than seeing that...

    Mediaserver taking up battery, cant fix it

    Same thing happened to me and I'm hoping it's a fluke... Also happened once when I first got my Nexus 4 and mysteriously never happened again.

    Cases

    I had one for my iPad... Fantastically well made and gorgeous, but the wood frame did not stand up well to the rigors of travel and the occasional drop. After maybe a year the frame was splintered and nearly worthless, but the exterior looked good as new. For my needs a "soft" fabric and...

    Cases

    I also bought the iBlason case...I picked up the official travel case as well, since the iBlason was so cheap. I'm not completely confident that the iBlason is going to hold up well, but given the price, I'm willing to try it, with the travel case as a backup.
