a question here, anyone know the 3g/4g nexus 7 can receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls??

Nope. It doesn't have voice module. It's not a phone/phablet bro.

You did the test by laying it on the ground/table?

table. why cannot? must hold by hand? Must test using 2 finger when touch

No just wondering...because some people said it's due to grounding issue and the issue cannot be reproduced if it's held by hands. Not sure how true is that. hmm.gif

Just got my Nexus 7 today but I think I got a broken unit. It keeps crashing until it reboots itself. Already three times in the first half an hour of usage. All I did before that was signed in my Google account and let it charged. After 2 hour I just noticed there were a lot of error messages.

try reset to factory default

BTW, just now I wasn't being clear enough. The first thing it did after booting out of box was actually updating itself to 4.3. I'm not sure if it installed or not because I left it charged.

I did factory reset and did not sign in my Google account. Played a while....auto rebooted again. Now I updated the Android version and made sure it installed. So far OK. But I still can't believe this device is not stable out of box. Did you guys also updated your N7?

Any way I am just  light user - chrome/ fb/ etc..

Mine is 16GB version and still on JWR66N. So far it is stable after one OTA update. What I described in my previous posts was before updating.

3. Tap on Force Stop.

4. Select Clear Data.

Have any of you guys experienced random reboots while using the tablet?

Yes. I had random reboot out of box. But once I updated the Android version, it never crash anymore.

Haven't contact Asus yet. Getting receipt now.
Mine has very minor backlight bleed on top. Won't see it during normal usage. Normal for LCD screen...

when you say top as in top when in portrait mode? mine is at the top center, but kinda spreads across (more obvious in the top center area)

My unit has very minor backlight bleed on top center too (in portrait mode). Seems like common?

haha.. just teasing you.  Your mindset is typical potential buyers' mindset - try looking for issues, problem, or some nitpick features, etc., like some bros mentioned in the earlier pages of this thread. 

Once you bought it, then only you realise why you do not buy it earlier.  biggrin.gif

Btw, i actually din notice there is any improvement on the screen reso compared to first gen, placing the 2 side by side.  But after using it for about 2 weeks, i pick up my first gen Nexus 7 again yesterday night then only i realised the first gen screen is kinda grainy - can notice the lower res screen effect now.  tongue.gif

I noticed the higher ppi right away after the first boot from unboxing even though I already do not have the first gen N7 anymore. biggrin.gif
