Audio problem with new Nexus 7

Purchased new Nexus 7 32gb with mobile data, frankly I considered it the best tablet I own (I own 5 including an iPad 2 and a 16gb Nexus 7). Suddenly today while listening to some music the audio became super static-ey , like a busted stereo speaker. My replacement is on the way but I wondered if any else has had this experience.

So maybe we just got defective units, because my first N7 was a 16gb and its still working great. I just upgraded for more storage and mobile data which made it almost perfect. They will probably break down and give it an SD card slot and a rear camera and it will reign supreme in the tablet world.

My speaker started sounding like crap fairly randomly....rattling like broken.
Actually I believe the speakers are just coming loose in the housing.
I have seen this happen with phones before.
Not a big deal though...replaced with new with no issues.

Yeah! Got replacement Nexus 7 32gb in hand, hope it is as sound as my original 16gb. I think this is my favorite tablet, OK, I love this device, OK ... I said it. I wonder how many others got slightly defective units, and if they got a solid replacement. I don't care if I have to send for 5 of these until I get one that's right.

I have a question. I recently rooted and installed that beats drivers thing on the market. It sounds..average (using headphones BTW) the.. I decided to uninstall , the audio just sounded so off. Then, after removing the file in system, the audio sounds HORRIBLE. Base is distorted as hell! Someone help! I tried to use equalizer but it says something wrong with my framework!!!

[Q] Can't Beam from Nexus 4 to Nexus 7

I have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7. I have been trying NFC beaming between both. The issue I am facing is that I can beam things like images, links etc. from the Nexus 7 to the Nexus 4, but this transfer doesn't go the other way ie. from the 4 to the 7.
If I have a beam-able item open on the 4 and I am on the home screen of the 7, then I do hear the devices recognize each other (the little sound and buzzing) but the Nexus 4 does not give the "touch to beam" option.
If the shareable item is on the N7 then I get the "touch to bean" as usual.
Has anyone faced this issue and / or has a solution for it.

No responses here. Anyone?

That's more than I can do. I never much can beam anything even pics. I just use Bluetooth share or for large files Wifi-Direct which offers 30mbps file transfers between devices

I've successfully beamed a few pics, its a little tedious though, the NFC spot on the N7 seems to be on the upper right side of the back, or at least that's were it seems to ding for me, but it's hard to hold them both and then click the beam button, then hold them still enough to make the transfer, I usually use a WiFi file transfer

I can beam without a problem from the N7 to the N4, but not the other way round. I am always looking to transfer pictures and wallpapers from the N4 to the N7 but without the NFC it's just additional steps to do this.
Oh well...

It seems that it was user error. I hadn't turned on android beam on the N4! Doh!
Sorry to bother you guys...

I have an idea. Is it doable?

The camera on this phone is OK. Its not as good as my Panasonic digital camera though. So I thought to my self wouldn't it be great if I could somehow connect my camera to my phone for easy upload to social networks and forums.
I've had my camera connected via USB to my Samsung phones and I can view pictures.
Would this work with the nexus 4. Also carrying a cable around would be a pain so what I'm really looking for would be some sort of USB bluetooth transmitter that I can plug into the usb of the camera for it then to be picked up by my nexus 4. Has anyone seen anything like this?
Thanks
Steven

Sure is! This is literally exactly what you want! http://www.eye.fi/products/mobi
It can transfer photos to your phone in real time as you take them.

My god. That is amazing! Haha. Well I'm buying that Means all my photos I take from my digital camera get uploaded to dropbox automatically. The only thing in my book that let's this phone down is the camera. Oh and the battery but I have that sorted by adding a note 2 battery I can't see me getting rid of this phone for a while

Bluetooth audio correction?

I recently picked up a Bt35toy for hands free call and audio streaming in my car. The audio playback is extremely bad compared to my previous audio tape converter. Does anyone have an app that can correct the sound quality for streaming audio via Bluetooth. Currently the volume is significantly lower and it sounds as if the music is being played through a tin can.
Thanks for any ideas

Not sure if it's really a problem of bluetooth streaming quality. Maybe it's a problem of power of the streaming ?
Does the "quality" of the audio playback differs from time to time ? like when you move your phone ? near the receiver ? or when it is fully charged ?
Can you (or have you) tried with another phone ?
Finally, have you tried audio/volume booster apps ? or equalizer (Viper/DSPManager/...) ?

The receiver is mounted almost directly below the phone. I have noticed a difference in distance or charge power. I will try to pay attention to that. I think a volume booster would be helpful. I will see what I can find.

I forgot about this thread. Any other ideas for increasing the Bluetooth gain?

I have the daydream. I use it like a cardboard as I haven't gotten daydream to work on the phone yet. (supposedly its possible.... I haven't read up on it though)
Its super comfy, and even as a cardboard device, It works pretty damn good.

Reading up I see the new Moto phones are supported but not the nexus 6p or 5x..... disappointed would have liked one for Xmas
