I'm on my 2nd messed up wifi N7 2013, and I've had enough but I really love the device, im going to go ahead and buy the LTE version from Tmobile when it's released soon, just wondering if anyone is having multi touch issues, laggy keyboard, with the LTE model like on the wifi versions

I'm not having any of those problems, but you do realize that it's more expensive to buy it from T-Mobile than it is to buy it from Google Play, right? T-Mobile is charging about $35 more for the Nexus 7.
 
Thanks, yeah i know but my plan is to buy that on EIP at $16 a month which I won't miss, ill get the free 200mb a month also, I know its not a lot but I don't use much more, I won't miss $16 a month at all, total cost is $34 more than buying outright, then by selling my wifi N7 it frees up cash to buy something else, I've got the N5 coming tomorrow and I have the cash set aside for the new N10 if it drops so I may try a smart watch or a new Ipad mini

I just won't buy one if I hear the LTE version is having the same issues

I had the 32Gig wifi and then bought the LTE. I didn't have any issues with either one. I had no idea what people meant by the touchscreen issues. Maybe they use it differently than I do?

So I recently tried to research exactly what people meant by touchscreen issues. I saw that you have to download a "multitouch test" app. I followed the instructions and found that my LTE also has these issues. However, although they do register as issues on this test app, I have never run into any problems in operating my Nexus. To me, my touchscreen works perfectly when browsing the web, checking e-mails, watching YouTube videos and looking at pictures, loading my broker's apps for checking stocks, etc. Maybe these will be noticeable if I played lots of intensive games?

And typing has never been a problem for my either. I have occasionally seen a double tap, but I used to get that with every other Android deice I've ever owned (Motorola Xoom, HTC EVO, etc.).

So I guess it really depends on how you use the device. I'm thinking that if you had the problems before, you use it in ways that it will replicate on the LTE version as well. But that's just my guess.
 
Well, it cant be how i use it lol, i type on the on screen keyboard and it misses key strokes, or totally lags and freezes up for 20-30 seconds, i cannot type any other way than with my fingers, then the other issue is touching links or long pressing apps, it rarely registers the 1st time i press, i can hit a link 4-5 times before it will respond to it, and the long press on the app will open the app, ive owned plenty of android tablets and phones, and im not the only one with these kind of issues, its just a fact that out in the wild are some really crappy N7 2013`s
 
In that case, call me very lucky for landing two different 2013 Nexus 7's that worked great!

Good luck.
