I noticed that after leaving facebook back to home screen it leave behind a very fine shadow that you will only notice if you look hard enough, after noticing this it starts to really bug me, I don't know if this is an known issue yet but if it is please link me to the post most helpful, thanks
It was a very known issue with the white I/O models, but not many have experienced it in the black production versions iirc. Asus and Google couldn't reproduce the problem, so they may not acknowledge that your product is flawed, but if it truly bothers you, I would contact them anyways. If you want q post, search the forums for 'screen ghost' or 'image retention', or something similar.

Hey guys,
I don't know how many of you are running the SwiftKey app for tablets but whenever I use it to search or type anything in a bar where the website provides instant search results like Google or eBay, a bunch of extra characters are always inserted and it's absolutely maddening.
I've included a link to demonstate:

I'm trying to search "Verizon Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery" and what I end up with is nothing close to it.
I know my accuracy isn't amazing because I was holding my Nexus between my knees in order to record the video but it's clear that I didn't actually type that many characters...
I'm at my wit's end here. The only way to prevent this is to type incredibly slowly =\

I believe the bug was squashed in the latest release!

I am getting my nexus 7 tommorow...... Can someone tell me what I should look out for when I get it...... What checks should I do?

Make sure it has Android installed from the factory.

Check the edges of the screen, make sure there isn't a space between the glass and the bezel. Earlier runs have had this "screen separation" issue, fixable, but a pain to do. Check the colors on the screen, run a few tests to make sure it's not washed out.

Why would you need to check anything? QA is already done at the factory and it will be WAY more comprehensive using dedicated test equipment for accelerometers and such,... duh....
The Complete Guide to 'Checking' a new N7
Make sure everything that should be in the box is in the box.
Make sure the N7 turns on. As it is booting up, do a 3-second visual scan of the whole thing to make sure you aren't one of the fraction of a percent of a percent of new owners who received an N7 with problems.
Check to see which programs you like to use.
Go to Google Play and use your $25 credit to buy other apps, games, or music that you enjoy.
Check to make sure that this new device is something you will enjoy using. Everyone has different needs and ways of working/playing with these devices... I enjoy the N7 so much I've almost entirely stopped using my iPhone and laptop, but my wife really just wanted something that would make playing and buying music easy without a learning curve or so she gave me her N7 and got a Kindle Fire (which is basically an Amazon sales vector you can hold in your hand, i.e. exactly what she wanted).
I'm serious above, but to be just a bit more serious: some small number of ANY new device will be faulty right out of the gate. This is why the term 'early adopter' was coined, to describe people who are willing to purchase a new device during the potentially-frustrating first days. This forum is one of the very few places people can go to get good information, so it is also one of the few places where people with problems can talk about them. This can make it seem like everybody has a faulty device, or like the odds are high that you will get a faulty device, when neither of those things are true. The number of people who do have faulty devices is small enough that it does not warrant a special "checking" of the device above and beyond what you would do with any new device. It's just that most people with perfectly fine devices are out there using them, rather than coming here and posting about how they aren't having any problems.
First thing to do it to check SSN Number on the box.
If it starts with :
C9O --> Built in September, All issues fixed
C8O --> Built in August might not be fixed
C7O --> Built in July, many has screen lift.
C6O --> Built in June, many has screen lift.
C5O --> Built in June, many has screen lift.
I'm not sure if this is a common issue in all Android phones, but searching on Google kept providing me with code to implement on a website to adjust to different mobile phone screen sizes...
I may be posting in the wrong section so forgive me in advance, but whenever I browse forums and such different posts have different size fonts. Some come out fine and are readable. Others I have to zoom in a bunch and then zoom out proceeding to the next post. Is there a fix/tweak/setting to correct this issue? I believe it does not occur in the stock Internet app from Samsung, but I rather use Chrome. I also don't think it is people changing their font size when posting.
I'll try to attach screen shot of it to help go along with my concern.
Thanks in advance.
This is a bug in Chrome for Android versions greater than 18. And, this is the only reason I can't switch to this browser as the default.
It sure is annoying.
Here is the tracked bug:
I can't post links, but search Google for " chromium 135947"
They say it will be fixed in milestone 29.

Thanks for the reply I guess I'll just have to wait for the update. Any suggestions for a decent browser? I wasn't thinking that the Samsung one would be that great... but it doesn't have this font boosting issue either. ..
I currently use Boat Browser. It's better than the stock Samsung browser. Give it a shot.

It's called Font Boosting.
I wish they'd just give an option to turn it off. Even if it was working perfectly as intended it would irritate me to have text so much larger than other elements of the page. I'm more than capable of pinch-zooming if I have a hard time reading some text.

I agree. Pretty annoying. And I like to use browsers to view forums and such, not another app. Perfectly capable of zooming in add well. I guess it is just a waiting game for the update. Funny how other browsers got it right but Google is behind on this one.

I created a feedback thread on Chrome product forums to suggest an option for turning it off, but it hasn't gained any traction. It could help if more people voiced their displeasure with this feature.

Since this is also something that is annoying me, I also posted in your thread. Hopefully it actually does something. For now I think I'll continue using the stock browser.

GPS, bad pixels, multitouch... They all came from different factories and they were all crap
I've had enough... Sticking with my OG Nexus and when ipad mini retina comes out, if it has GPS I am switching.
Anyone else with me? What will you be waiting for / going to in the meantime? ¢
I have the GPS issue which is likely software. Other than that my new n7 is perfect. I'll wait for the GPS fix and until then use my One for GPS.

If GPS was a software issue, wouldn't everyone be suffering from it? Using GPS test, I am currently connected to 15/23 satellites, and it's got my current location accurate to 3 meters. I haven't had any GPS issues whatsoever, not that I use my tablet for GPS ever, but I tested it extensively after reading so many problems.
I never do this. IRL I'm a really nice guy, but for frack's sake, can we keep all these "Google/Asus/Android sucks" posts on one thread? That way all the whining can stay in one place. Maybe even make it a sticky (like people actually read those). I know I can avoid reading them, but there is a point when enough is enough. They are cluttering up the freaking forum.
I know you are frustrated and may have a legitimate complaint, but man....
P.S. Feel free to post on the other similar threads, and you may find helpful suggestions on what other users will be switching to. Unless the main reason for this thread was to have your name on the OP. Then I can't help you. That's an "i" generation problem.

When I restart my 7 I get great GPS for a few minutes and then no SATs... Sounds like software to me... Google has acknowledged and I'll wait for a determination.... If it's a hardware fault, I feel for Asus because Google will force their hand.

I don't like Apple either... I have been the number one fan of Google and Android... I have converted my family and friends not only to the Android platform, but to the whole Google "OS".
I think my problem is really more than just this Nexus 7 FHD... I have issues with Google as a whole.
first was destroying Google Reader
then destroying gmail with horrible UI
destroying talk app, replacing with dumbed down "hangouts"
destroying google maps, can't find alternate routes, dumbed down features again..
dismantle latitude to force us to use the horrible Google+ facebook knockoff platform when I have NO interest in social media
I really hate the direction the company is going. It seems I have no choice, no alternative though. iOS is just a device, not a platform... there is no compelling argument to invest myself into their whole mantra... Microsoft makes cool stuff but it is far from a platform.
I really just miss the old Google... and hate this new one. Google used to innovate, not copy others and deliberately dismantle things that work beautifully already.
Sorry if I seem like I'm just complaining to complain.... but I really am fed up and not sure how to move forwards in the absence of the old Google.

Hey guys.
Just heard that Google is actually releasing the Google Assistant to some devices , including the 6P , through the Google play services.
Seems like Google is giving us more Pixel Features , so first the dialler and messaging apps and stuff like that , now we're getting the assistant.
Does anyone know when we are going to get it ? (Heard something like next week)
And does anyone know what Google is actually doing , are they going to give us the pixel launcher , the blue accents , the solid navigation buttons? Let me know is you know anything about this. Thanks !! ✌?✌?✌?

No it doesn't, very little does, but there are rules in place for a reason, so we don't have anarchy with people posting wherever they feel like. However, the next time someone comments that you posted in the wrong section, maybe realise that it's not an attack or an insult to your intelligence but rather simply pointing out that you did something you shouldn't have and helping by passing along the information instead of trying, and subsequently failing, to be a smartass. If I had reported the thread or had it deleted then you'd have a right to be upset if even if I said you were stupid or negligent then again you'd have the right but alas no, but I'll be sure to point it out to you next time.
Goodnight gentlemen.

Post has been reported to facilitate transfer to the correct thread. No need to start any arguments. So chill
@op The Voice Assistant update is a staged roll-out, meaning more and more users will get it within the next few days. No one really knows the full extent of Google's plans for bringing pixel features to other devices like the Nexus line. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
All I can say is that such initiatives are welcome, especially if the changes are not merely cosmetic in nature, but instead add useful features to our device.
So yeah ... Did anyone get the assistant during the week ?
