Nexus 7 - Eating my words!

[BobR1908]

Just picked up a 2013 Nexus 7 and must say I am eating my words.

The 2013 version is fast, has a beautiful screen and the I find build quality and cosmetic appearance much better than the last version.

What a deal for the price! Only issue I have experienced out of the box is a Google keyboard has stopped working error. It updated the keyboard and I still got it, just went in and cleared keyboard cache and so far so good. Literally got the error out of box, wasn't the coolest but looks to be fixed.

Apparently none actually. When I first looked at the Nexus 7 I in store experienced some of the multi-touch issues many others have reported and stated that this tablet would not be for me and that I would be staying away from it.

I let it be for some time and then yesterday took a look at it in store again and was really impressed with the physical build. I experienced no multi-touch issues on the unit this time around and opt to buy but.....

I have actually decided to return my unit.

Since owning it (less than 24 hours) I have experienced screen locks, Google keyboard errors and late last night some screen flickering at the top of the Chrome browser when entering in searches. I searched about the flickering issue and no matter how high or low the brightness was, or whether I had auto brightness on/off the flickering right up by the search bar in Google was flickering.

I am not going to roll the dice on this and return it while I can. Three issues basically out of the box. May look at a Nexus tablet again down the right but there are clearly issues that need to be sorted out that haven't been yet.

And yes - I did do the latest update It was downloaded during my setup yesterday.
