Anyone doing RMA/32GB Nexus - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's a question I have for people. Has anyone, since December 10th, dont a warranty replacement for their 16gb Nexus 4's? I did one but have not yet received any notification that my replacement phone is going to ship anytime soon.
This paired with the fact that the 8gb Nexus 4 is not listed as being available where the 16gb is and you'd think if they were expecting more stock they'd still take orders just push the date back like they did with the 16gb.
Here's my pipe dream of a hope: do you think this might mean, due to the overwhelming popularity and demand, they are going to phase out the 8gb N4, drop the price down so 16gb is the price of 8gb and a new 32gb would be price of 16gb and therefore they'd be waiting for the new 32gb models to roll off the manufacturing line to send out the new 32gb replacements to the 16gb RMA's and give a $50 credit to everyone else?
This is me being truly optimistic and hopeful but I can't imagine if they give me 21 days to return the defective phone from the day that I ordered the new one that they wouldn't have planned on getting me the phone within that 21 days. If so, sucks for those who did not RMA their 16gb!

I don't think they'd that to be honest. A lot of people who already bought it would get mad, etc.

they did it with the Nexus 7

After four months, which was still too soon for many. But a month? That's too soon for everyone.

Right time to buy

I'm ready to buy a nexus 7 but I've seen a couple of rumors that a price change or something new may be around the corner. (32 gb model) Normally I wouldn't pay attention. But the few stores I did go to were either out or low on Units and said it would be a couple of weeks before a new shipment.
I'm just asking the community if you think it's a good time to buy or wait a few weeks for something better

Personally. I'd wait a month or so. There is rumor of 32GB Nexus 7 being released here, here and over here to name a few. All conjecture at this point, but the evidence is compelling.
Additionally, JBQ has indicated that there is a new hardware revision coming to Nexus 7 - which may or may not be related to a 32GB model.
you should wait fa it as it is almost certain that 32gb version is true
Wish it ships with 3g fa the same price as that of presen 16gb

[Q] Buy 32gb Nexus 7 Now, or wait for next one?

Hey guys have a question. Ive been wanting another 7" tablet for awhile now and the Nexus 7 has always been at the top of the list. And just as I was about to finally get it all these rumors and announcements of the next nexus 7 come out. As you all know Staples has the 32gb on sale right now for 199, and theres a coupon code to get another $30 off. I have one on hold and reserved for me at my local Staples. So I am trying to decide if I should wait or buy now. If its true that the new one will be 299 as some rumors speculate, then the price difference between the 2 is about $140. As far as what I need in a tablet it would be pretty basic. Games, emails, web, etc. I dont need a camera, or LTE. So theres not much of a difference between them for what I need it for. One of my main concerns though is all these people talking about the performance drops, boot issues that some are having. But I also read that it might be just the 16gb version that are having issues. So anyway I figured here is a good place to ask to get some good info and advice. TIA.
Actually my 16 gb n7 performs quite good. But wait for next one.

Well it depends on you, the new nexus will have a snapdragon s4 quad core and 1080p also, and the 16gb I believe will start at $250 but correct me if I'm wrong. I have a 32gb WiFi and it runs like a champ. That sounds like a good deal for $170 as I got my 32gb for $250 so good luck on your choice.......rumor is Taiwan will get the new nexus 7 at end of month so you could check the web to see if you like or not!
I had a 16gb and its was laggy, but I decided to get the 32gb version when I broke the 16gb and got my square trade payout. The 32gb has been great, its stable, fast, and don't even have any light bleed.

Here you go, coupon back up good until 7-21.
Let's look at the facts. The new gen it's probably coming next week, but, if the rumours are true, it should be a little mre expensive, starting at 229$ aprox. If i were you, i would wait and see, and if the new Nexus it's worth the price, i would grab that one.

Well I got my old Nexus 7 2012 for $199 USD from staples, it was on sale their after the new Nexus 7 released. I've decided to keep the old Nexus 7, but if you're deciding to get which, I would suggest you get the new nexus either 16 GB or 32 GB. It is worth the wait and its very fun to hold and its fast also. But if you grow impatient then buy the old one 32 GB, that tablet is actually more than you need.

So Do you think the problems which are occuring in new nexus will be fine after the updates of google. Those multiotuch & GPS issues are very frightening & making me if new nexus comes I can loose the low cost old nexus which is having no issues .
Only New nexus is promising few things as below :
1. Better resolution/display
2. Fast processor
In rest everything old nexus seems fine like new.
Yes the issues are fixed, at least I think they issued a patch to address that. If not, it is a big issue that will get addressed quickly. If you can afford the new one get that, the latest and greatest is always the best. With that said I have a 2012 version and have zero complaints.

Not really fixed, not for the majority, and those were not the biggest issues.
It's been over a month. "Quickly" has come and gone. They're about working on everyone's last nerve ATP. It's still a big issue.

My bad. I haven't kept up on the new model as it doesn't pertain to me but I thought I read somewhere engadget,cnet,etc it was fixed.

Methinks they're just quoting Google press releases like good little commercial entities.... :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Those 159 separate posters on the above site (myself and some friends included) are living this.... For real... :banghead:
I hope waiting will resolve all the issues .
I heard some high end games developed for new nexus are also not able to sync with its advanced hardware. If Google will not resolve it will be loosing its name in Quality Tablets.

[Q] Best price on a Nexus 10?

Well I have the N10 on my Christmas list after doing my research on what exactly I wanted in my next tablet. I'm coming from a Kindle Fire 1st gen rooted and running 4.4, so I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference in performance.
So to my question, since my family missed any potential Black Friday deals, does anybody know what the best pricing on the N10 is currently? I don't want a used device and on the fence with whether or not I would do refurbished. I've had my issues in the past with refurbished electronics. I guess if the deal was right I'd do refurbished. I was mostly considering the 32 gig, but if there was an outstanding deal for the 16 gig, I'd gladly do that since I never even fill up my 4 or 8 gig Kindle.. Whichever it is. Was also thinking of waiting for the N10 2, but with only mild speculation and no release date, I think I'd be fine with the current version. Any help would be awesome. Anybody know of any specific Cyber Monday deals either?

I was scanning for about 2 weeks, the best price varied by about $140 by the day between $280-$420. I'd put in the effort and check daily. This site seemed to find them fairly fast.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...exus-10-32gb-for-279-plus-5-shipping-us-only/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...us-10-32gb-plus-a-100-visa-gift-card-for-399/
So ...just from last 2 week's experience, I'd check this like twice daily as part of your ritual.
http://www.androidpolice.com/topics/phones-devices/samsung/nexus-10-samsung/
Amazon seemed to hold its price about $400-$425 when I was looking, I went for the Woot offer as it happened first, the ebay one was about $14 less for me but i'd already ordered the earlier one.
Have you worked out the price you'd want to pay (and don't say as low as possible) or have you worked out the date by which you want it ordered?
I wanted to pay $300 personally so I just held til I found it, I wasn't needing by a specific date as I just wanted basically less-squinting larger N7. No way was I going to pay $400, never mind $500.
I think a $300-ish offer will come up within the next 2 week, just put in the daily ritual and be patient.

Thanks for the rundown. Should have seen that last link before. But will be keeping my eye on that Android Police deals site. Do you have an opinion about refurbished Nexus 10's? Anybody running into any issues?

If I were you, I will just wait for Nexus 10 2nd generation. It will be released very soon (Few days to maximum of few weeks)
Not only you will get top notch tablet with latest hardware but your device will also be updated by google for a longer period of time. This means you will see 4 more updates minimum with compared to last update on Nexus 10.
I know there would be some 100-250 $ in old and new generation but I can tell you that it will be worth to pay the extra and get it.
I had a choice to buy Nexus 7 2012 or wait for Nexus 7 2013, i waited and I can tell you I am so happy that I waited. Not only it's thousand times better than older generation but the price isnot bad either/ (I got it around 220 for 32GB using staples coupon in US while officemax was giving 15-20% off too). Remember you will always find deals around different time of the year and I know waiting sucks but it will be worth it.
Good Luck

There is only speculation about a N10 successor, there is in equal weight:
There is no N10 successor, current manufactured is all there is and Google is getting out of Android 10" as didn't sell well in volume.
There is a no 10" successor, there is an 8" successor which at least better matches what FCC approved.
There is an N10 successor, produced by Samsung or Asus
There is a 10" coming out but it is Chrome OS not Android
Dates have been "any day now" for weeks. There is a rumor one will be announced today (and there was last Friday and last Monday and the Friday before and......).
Now here is what happens when something comes out:
It is very difficult to get initially
you can only get it from Google Play with tax and shipping
you'll pay RRP
you'll suffer what initial bugs exist, like screen lifting, etc., you'll likely have bugs needing 4.4.2 or 4.5 to fix.
I'd not wait for a N10 successor, but neither would I pay $400+ for the current N10, I'd look out for N10 bargains around $300 mark, and then when/if a $500+ N10 successor comes out, you'll think "well I got a reasonable value for a known product", if the N10 successor comes out and it has something you want, you can then get it and sell the N10 for not a massive amount less than you paid and had it in your hands for the interim.
I got a N7 2012 32GB out in June '13. When the N7 2013 came out it was $50 more delivered. For what I use my N7 for, I kept it on 4.2.2 and ok, didn't like 4.3 and went to 4.4, which with Franco kernel is perfectly ok fine fore me, and you can get the N7 2012 32GB model now for $115.
If the N10 comes out, it will likely be worth $500+, the current N10 is I think worth $300.
My N10 is due in post today, I paid $314 delivered, let's see.....
Current N10 used on Ebay sell for >$300, if N10 successor comes out it will still sell likely for >$250. So if I sold my N10 say 4 months from now for say $250, I'll have lost $64 so cost me 50cents/day.
Is 50cents/day worth waiting and doing without for a possibly nothing?
So, the only reason to wait is because any given technology drops in cost over time, so if you buy it later you'll tend to get it cheaper, or get better technology. If you want now, focus on getting a bargain, don't wait for a future unknown thing.

Deal alert. Brand new 32GB Nexus 7 £149.99 at O2

I know basically everyone who wants a 2013 Nexus 7 probably has one by now, but just thought this was worth letting everyone know about. O2 sell the Wi-Fi version of the tablet next to the LTE model. They don't specify a capacity on the website, so I assumed I'd be getting a 16GB model. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that they delivered a 32GB Nexus to me! Worth knowing about if you're thinking of picking one up.
Wow thats a no brainer
The back of my Nexus 7 has a fairly long crack and its sad that i can't find anywhere to replace it
I ordered an unopened new 16GB for £120 from ebay the other day, it's too late for me to return it as it wont be here for another 10 days or so (coming from America) ah well haha
