Hey everyone. Just want to reach out and make a suggestion to the folks who pre-ordered their N7's through Google Play. This morning I received an email from Google Play asking me to complete a satisfaction survey concerning their customer support in returning my email inquiry regarding N7 shipment status and the Googly Play store in general. So, I told them exactly what I thought they did wrong and how they could attempt to make amends with their customers.
I would like everyone to use this opportunity to offer CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM to the Google Play team. Sure, they ****ed up, but getting angry at them will most certainly not help the cause. Use the comments section of the survey to politely inform them of their mistakes in your opinion and they will be much more obliged to right this wrong. If you didn't get a survey then send them an email. Personally, I get satisfaction in knowing that a large corporation is forced to read my opinions
TL;DR - Politely tell Google Play how they ****ed up.
Please explain how they f'd up.
I don't see how they did.

If you don't think they did then this thread is not for you.

Yeah, I'm also wondering how the f'd up. Sure, I would have liked to receive my device before it hit stores, but they never said it would.
The one thing I'm disappointed with them about, is how they're not allowing for pre-orders of the N7 case. It seems like it comes on, sells out in under a minute, and it's back to out-of-stock. If you're lucky, very lucky, you can grab one. Why not do a first-come-first-serve pre-order?!

You just answered your own question .
There is a thread on this forum with thousands of posts that reflect my OPINION. Those are the folks I'm reaching out to.

I'm sure this will be locked or reported by some tard but dang, I just gotta vent this out now.
What in the name of all that is f'n sensible does everyone and their brother come here and open a thread about the reason why they didn't/won't/will never buy this tablet?
In case you haters and nit pickers don't know, us buyers do know it doesn't have a rear camera, no HDMI out, no haptic feedback and other missing things.
I could explain to you as the hundreds of others have as to the reasons behind all of that, but it will not matter. Someone will post in 5 minutes how it was a deal breaker because it didn't have a 15 million pixel super retina display.
Anyway, feel better now. Flame away.

It's because the internet is full of morons and they think xda is a general Android forum where they can come and ***** and whine. Take it to Android Central I say! Leave xda for the rooters, ROMers, and modders who actually love their devices and use xda for what it is actually meant for.
This is very important. It should be stickied.
I agree. I love this tablet just the way it is. I purchased it knowing what was missing. Despite the features not included, everything else more than makes up for it. yeah, I would've loved to have those extra things also, but they weren't a deal breaker for me. for the last 6+months I've used my Prime every single day as mines is a great device(unlocked, rooted, running custom rom & kernel). Ever since I bought this Nexus 7, my Prime isn't getting the attention like I use to give it. my prime + keyboard dock is more powerful, versatile, and overall better than my Nexus 7. But the experience out the box with it is nothing short of amazing. its far more portable & I would've never thought I would like the 7in. form factor so much. so my Nexus 7 compliments my Prime very well. I really like the Nexus 7 and the Nexus experience.
But yeah, threads created talking about why they didn't buy the device is pointless. at least post the comments in existing threads. no need for a new thread everytime Joe schmo doesn't like something about this tablet..lol
p.s. I posted this from my prime. which I forced myself to use today, since I haven't used it as much lately. now its time to take my nexus 7 off the charger and use it..lol. its running great on stock JB and motley custom linario kernel.
Ugh. I was so looking forward to the Nexus 7 and then I read that it can't turn into a hoverboard! The nerve of Google and ASUS to leave out something so important like that! DEALBREAKER!!!
Agreed. Endless whining and nitpicking over petty insignificant and quick to RMA for like the 10th time over something they wouldn't have noticed until they read about it online. And, lacking the common sense to revert to stock to rule out quirks.

I get where you coming from but it's useless to tell that to people unless you just wanna get that off your chest cause they will ask dumb questions and there's nothing we can do about it except mods, that's one of the reasons they're here. It's not just the internet it's people in general lol.

Just do what I do. Tell them that they'd probably be much happier with an iPad. And if they already bought an N7, offer them $5 for it. $5.25 if it's 16gb

Well, why would they think otherwise when they can and do come here to ***** and whine and their accounts are never deleted, they are never sent warning messages by mods, their posts are never deleted, etc. For all intents and purposes, despite the name of the site, it is a general Android forum for people to ***** and whine.
Totally agree! Then when something comes out that has those “deal breaking" things that they whine about, they begin to complain about price and how they can't justify paying the higher cost. Still waiting for mine lol scoping out the section. Haha.

People want a $600 Tablet for $199 and when Google does not take a $400 loss per sale, they throw a tantrum..,
Odd.... I know....

I'd marry the Nexus 7 if it could make me delicious sammiches and give me BJs on demand.
But alas, it is only a tablet so I will only use it as it was designed.

In my opinion, the tablet is a tablet, nothing more. Why do I need to take photos with it when I can use a camera? Why do I need to make a phonecall when I have a phone?
People expect too much from technology these days. And they expect top technology for minimum money.
Personally, I'm excited as hell to order my n7! I know what it has, what it doesnt and I know I'm going to root it and custom Rom it just like my desire HD was

I do not want to be the asshole here but should we really support someone who has not enough money to buy the glasses to take a loan to get them? I think we should help op rethink this they will be avaible in a cheaper and more consumer ready version within a year or something. but his loan will be influenceing him for at least that time. if you haven't $1500 as playmoney you should never spend it on something like that use ur money for education so that you have 1500$ as playmoney soon.

Don't see the point in locking any thread that pops up about the bad journalism again today. I mean the general forum is for that...has always been the garbage collector for the forums. Seems kind of communistic of XDA to have its mods do that. Just makes no sense. Well it does make sense considering how XDA has been migrating the last years or so.
It's because threads pop up like weeds everywhere. People can't just reply, they have to start another thread and it gets out of hand.

So merge the threads. I'm not sure why commenting about T-Mobile updating their site to show the 4.4.3 update is illegal. The threads will continue to pop up because every other thread gets locked and there can never be any discussion.

I'm of the mind that you have to fit in with the community you share, not the other way around. If you opt to join a community that doesn't work how you want it to, then you need to simply find a different one. It's not an emotional thing, nobody hates anyone else, it's just a matter of fitting in socially.
XDA keeps a tight reign on thread topics, content, and direction. That is the decision of the community moderators and thus, the community at large needs to abide by it. If any of us don't like it, then we can move on to find somewhere that better suits what we're looking for.
I've been here for a while (contrary to my 2010 date), and I've seen the moderators back in the day let many, many things slide and it could get really chaotic, really fast. I remember when ICS hit, there was a point where I had to go 3 pages in to get past the multiple topics of ICS release, it was crazy. Also, the moderators are here on free time, and if you've never moderated a community of this size, I'll simply say that "merging topics" can take awhile when you're talking about 30-40 (which happens if you don't keep on top of it). They do their best, lock what they can when they can, and move on with life.
for the TL;DR crowd, it is what it is, if you don't like it, it's time to move on.
I joined a community back then that sadly has been migrating to the negative way IMHO. Used to be a contributor that helped people regardless of if its a dumb repeated question asked 100 times. Sadly...its not like that anymore.

but I think its about conditioning users to not post stuff like that. Just doesn't bring any value. Even when one thread is left open to discuss rumors people keep posting to it for updates until it finally happens.

every single dev here was a noob. i know because i was here a few weeks before android was released(got my g1 2 weeks prior to release), and i personally helped a countless amount of people that have become "devs" here, when they were noobs. id say most devs here were noobs within the last 5 years.
So why don't the mods make a future firmware thread for discussion. This way it's all in one place.
I came from the note 3 and I swear there was thread for every firmware for every region. The mods did little and it was a huge mess.
Ended up not looking in the General section ever again.
Also they would post a new thread for cyanogenmod every time they saw it mentioned on the internet.
But I would like to see one thread for discussion.

Actually it is important. A lot of people here believed the 6 was too big. A lot of people believed that the 5 was perfect. A lot of people had discussed the possibility that Google would keep the 5 and the 6 and upgrade the hardware of each device yearly or so. If google has indeed stopped production of the 5 that could mean they are gearing up for a new 5. Or they are killing the device to be replaced by something else entirely. Notice how I used the term "a lot" quite often? So while your entitled to your opinion it doesn't mean the rest of us aren't interested in what this could mean. Since you've already decided to report this thread Id be interested to see that the Mods take on it is.

My warranty card says it's 2 years.
Given the pace of change it's not surprising that the nexus 5 is reaching end of life. In terms of market reach the model had reached saturation. Those who want it have it already. Phones sell because they are an upgrade,to profit companies must keep moving. What does it mean for existing nexus 5 owners. Not much. We are likely to see incremental software updates for the next couple of years. We may or not get big future updates but nexus devices tend to be supported longer. A lot of Nexus 5s have been sold, we have a strong development community that will continue for the next couple of years. All this is normal, expected. Over the next few years the majority of the community will buy new phones, many in less than 12 months. Not a shock.
The N5 will still be available through other sellers like ebay, amazon, etc..... for a good long while. You can still buy any nexus phone from the past brand new.
Sorry people this is not new information.
