Decided to return the Ultra just before the 30 day mark. Coming from a S4 that was 16gb with a 64gb SD card in it, there's just no way I can squeeze into a 16gb only phone. The size of my DCIM folder on my S4 is 9gb..I haven't moved much of anything to the Ultra yet and it only has 7.*gb free. I was going to take today and get the Maxx where I think I can work with 32gb, but I am going to wait and see how the G2 feels. If I like that I'll go that route or switch to the Maxx.
I love everything about the Ultra. The battery life is even better than my S4.
When does the g2 come out?

So as far as the phone itself you had no problems with it? it was simply a storage issue? Just wondering as I'm also coming from an S4... completely different experience.

Current estimated date is around Sept. 13.
It really is a shame that the Ultra only has 16GB... Too bad they couldn't incorporate an SD slot into the Ultra. The G2 seems like an okay phone on paper - at least you will have a lot of options to choose from in the coming month. Good luck.

The phone itself is great.. It's snappier than the s4 and feels sturdier. Software is bland Android, meaning no touchwiz type stuff. If it were only 32gb I'd keep it.

It's a huge shame... Why on earth they think 16gb is enough with no expansion is beyond me. The G2 looks amazing. It's thinner than the Note 2 and lighter than the Maxx, but slightly thicker. 8.6mm to 8.9mm. Think it may be the way to go.

Also looking at where Google I'd headed 16gb is going to be good. Everything is heading to cloud. Look how easy pics load up to g+ and Google drive. Take the chrome book laptops for instance they only have like 8-16gb but you get 100gb of storage from drive.

Yeah, everything is headed to the cloud but I'm still a fan of flashing custom ROMs and have already run into an issue with limited on board storage with my DNA. I can only make one backup of a ROM before running out of space. Yes, I could move it to my computer, but I prefer have a stable backup on the device in case things go screwy on the go...
Cloud can be convenient and all, but I guess I'm a little more old school.
At 14 days I will pack it and ship back today. I had Dropbox pulling all pics and vids I take, but I still like to have them local... Some things I don't want in a cloud. As cheap as storage is, 16gb phones should be eliminated... Imo

Why do you guys complain about storage when everything is in the cloud. It makes no sense the things people complain about. Every time I sign into an android phone I get all my info. Pictures, contacts, music. Documents from Google drive and keep. If you guys are true android users why not use what Google offers you for Free. Just my two cents.

Not everyone has unlimited data or access to a constant wifi connection. It makes perfect sense why some people complain about it.
I'm returning my MAXX as well, it's just not worth the price coming from a Note 2.
FYI if you do a return you can do as many as you want, I did it with 3 phones, but when you say you want to exchange it you can only do it once.

Out more than a month (for the 3G model) and only one minor update, so far? Where's my microSD support, for example?
Is it just me, or am I being a little impatient here? I figured that the microSD would be fixed by now, at the very least.....
I feel you but I learned not to expect anything anymore. If I make up one day and there's an update waiting for me then great. But holding your breath would be a baaaad idea!
[sent with Xooming Android technology]
I agree, although I am unsure of whether to blame google or motorola. The SD card would be nice, and so would a few hundred less FCs.
FWIW, I've been making new kernels and such, so I get updates all the time
But seriously:

Yeah, I'm sure that issue is square on Google; it's also part of the issue of why there's MTP support and not USB Mass-Storage, since the former works on files (vs. filesystems for USB M-S, which is why you had to pull it down manually); since I suspect the issue that Google is solving with our "one filesystem for apps and user stuff" is where/how the uSD will be mounted/shared on our devices.
Thought the 4g update would be 90 days or something...
Very impatient.
I can't wait for the 4G upgrade but now that I have the ThunderBolt I wonder how much the Xoom battery is going to last. I get around four hours with the 4G on.

Yikes! Listen:
I have an HTC Desire, an HTC Desire HD, a Sony Tablet S 32GB, and an ASUS Transformer TF101 32GB (all that Android junk, you know.)
Yeah, I also have a lot of other stuff, including an iPad2 (wife's gadget), and a couple of unlocked iPhones. Not bragging, no. Just mentioning so that you'll get the complete picture here.
This Kindle Fire thing is an incredible deal for $200! (The Amazon refurb promo for $150 last week was just CRAZY.) It's great fun! Root= super easy, and with Paul Obrien's MoDaCo ROM right now: The graphics are seriously sharp and simply excellent, the network access is stupid fast, and I am having a ball with it.
There are a couple of limitations, no bluetooth and no microphone. But for watching downloaded movies and playing games with the kids n stuff, XLNT!
Enough?
If you aren't messing with one of these right now, you just aren't just missing something, you're missing IT.

The lack of an external SD is a bummer but, using wifi tether and wifi file transfer on my phone it is possible to use the SD card on my phone as additional storage. It is also possible to create shared directories on your pc that the fire can use.

That's because it probably is. The 'auto-update' glitch bricked a ton of KFs. (Like this: Unzip the Amazon box, unwrap the cellophane, turn the puppy on, then watch it happily hang on auto-update= el Bricko bumstick.)
Unhappy customers sent them back in droves. Amazon techs simply updated via mini-usb connector, (takes 20 seconds) then shipped them back out as refurbs.
Brand new, and a fantastic deal!
Oh yeah, they also have to dump all of their inventory to get ready for the KF2.

Sort of. HK rumours last week, legal dept. staff Inter-consult w/ Foxconn & Cather, (the blank & MB manufacturers) say: 9.7", active bezel (gorilla & long range wifi?), quad-core sized HS, slim over-sized custom battery, with SD slot and side mount volume control holes. (In HK, parts-is-parts, if you catch my drift.) Taiwan has had the finished item running for quite a while, doing Amazonia software polish atm. Probably trying to keep it from getting rooted the very first day of release.
Anyway, "...goes gold in about 6-8 weeks." means that I am certainly not holding my breath waiting for it. No more update glitches this time I'm sure.
Oh, the previously mentioned $139 deal went history about 8 days ago, and I do wish I had gotten a couple more of them. The kids pass this thing around in the car like a box of Smarties. Industrial strength, even the 3 yr old gets her mitts on it.
Big fun.

no reason to keep backups on your phone at all. store them on your pc or backup drive. should something happen you can always push it to your phone, either manually via abd (push file /sdcard/) or nexus toolkit comfortably.

about 2gb free on the 8Gb version... I'll admit its a bit annoying at times, but overall not really an issue. The Google music, drive and box account for cloud storage basically take care of everything.
The saving grace is google music.. (did the hack to get it working in canada etc..) without that 8Gb would just not be enough at all.

My last phone was a gs3 and I had a 32gb sd card in it. It being hooked up to sprint I personally couldn't rely I cloud services like I do now my service was that bad, and mind you I live in NY. having switched to A&tt is a lot better .

You're right on the money man i don't want them seeing my baby photos at all !! Haha, all jokes aside i am not worried about that part it's the trojan / virus( has that been debunked?). The NSA or whoever already know everything about us it's a virus messing up my tab or the pc i am worried about, but shed some light on your experience with it.

There's no viruses. Whoever said there was had to be a false positive. I've scanned it myself and there was nothing detected. I've got tons of tools for the PC that register as "viruses", but they're false positives. Nothing has happened on my tablet either. No mysterious apps or behavior, no charges on my credit card, no collection calls for purchases I've never made, no identity theft..
You've got nothing to worry about. The reason it requires an Internet connection is because it has to download device specific stuff rather than include every possible device with the program itself. It's just how they wrote it. Until we get custom recoveries going, we won't be able to build root into ROMs.

Yep. Pulled the trigger on this deal. Newegg is pretty good about the no re-stocking return, if it does not pan out. Odds are, that this is the V512 for the 2014 Nexus 8??

I pulled the trigger today as well but I used the Newegg Ebay storefront. The price is $20 less ($259). Hope I don't get burned.

You won't, it's legit. They sell a lot of random crap on ebay cheaper than their store. :good:

That's a good idea. Think I will do the same.
I really wish this thing had some press. To me it looks like the best tablet out there with the specs and size. I had both n10 & n7 and ones to small other to big. And my fiance has ipad 2 and it's also to big.

You can blame LG for that. This thing is seriously the best Android tablet on the market. I've used all of the "best" Android tablets over the past year and this is by far the best. They've got a solid product.
Honestly I didn't know much about this thing until today. I was planning on getting note 8 until I came across this thing and as long as the reviews are right I'm sure I'll be happy.

I had a Note 8 and it was the perfect size but I couldn't get past the screen resolution. For that reason, I sold it and begun my search for a like size tablet with a higher resolution. That is how I stumbled across this beauty. I have not received mine yet but I've watched enough Youtube videos and have played with it at Best Buy enough to know it's a winner. Looking forward to breaking it in.

Check tomorrow on their twitter feed.
I got mine on Tuesday (ordered) from Newegg for Half off. Yes, for $175. Got it in the Mail on Friday.
They mentioned something to someone who missed out on the deal to check Monday for another good promo.
So far i am really enjoying it.
I found out that my gf bought me one of these on a groupon deal for my birthday. I was super stoked at first thinking it was the 2013 model and then was still stoked but slightly less stoked when i saw it was the '12 model. Still good? or should i resell and spend the extra for '13?

Same here... I keep mine in my purse most of the time. Cant take it anywhere easily.
OHH OP
The only way i would send it back is to Consider Storage space. If its not the 32 gb model and you have lots of apps . The nexus 7 2012 model seems to get slow when more then half storage space used..

I currently own a Nexus 7 2013 and it's the greatest android experience I have ever had would definitely recommend picking one up
I heard the 2012 nexus 7 has gotten really slow and buggy
New nexus 7 is a no brainer

Just upgraded my 2012 Nexus 7 to 4.4.4 and rooted it last night. Noticed that updates were much much faster than in the past. both the update and rooting was straight forward.
Really don't use it much now days though... as I have a Note 3 phone which allows me do most of what I used a tablet for, but I originally got the Nexus 7 for mirroring to the big TV.
Outside of that, it is still a good device, works well and performs fast enough for what I would use it for.

well luckily for me the groupon was for the wifi version with 4g and 32GB!! lol im stoked really. I have never had a tablet before, just a ton of android phones.
Here is a question...since it has 4g capability could i copy the sim from my nexus 5 (tmobile with unlimited data) and pop it into my nexus 7?

you know, for what i would use it for it should be ok i think. I mean even my LG G2x was sufficient for the power of programs i ran like old school gaming (psx, ppsspp, and so on) and watching netflix. here is a big question for you guys....anyone have it working with flash streaming? would be awesome to stream my live sports or watch shows not on netflix like on coke and popcorn
