So far, so good apart from 2 problems which I'll mention in a moment. Its fast, the screen looks lovely, it plays games and runs apps without a flaw, especially the graphically intensive stuff so I am a very happy bunny.
But the problems... I've not encountered issues with GPS, multi-touch or WiFi so I'm happy there, but my problems are with Netflix and iPlayer.
Netflix refuses to connect even though the Network is connected and data is flowing and I can't find a solution. Says it is unable to connect to the Netflix service and the error code is 15001.
iPlayer "isn't compatible" so you can't download it. I don't know why it was OK with 4.3 on the 2012 Nexus 7 but not here, but it isn't available in the Play Store. The web version works, but means you can't watch live TV there unless I'm missing something.”
Well, even though I only posted the above this morning, a lot has been fixed.
I force updated the new N7 this morning and then deleted and reinstalled Netflix and those problems are sorted.
iPlayer issue still stands, and even when trying to install it through the web store, its says that it isn't compatible with the old N7 so looks like the BBC need to do some updating. Luckily, the lovely people at XDA have APK files available to download which should also update through the Play Store when it becomes available, so my new N7 is now even better than the old one. Battery is lasting really well even though I've barely been off it today. Well impressed so far!!
