I just got a Nexus 7 2012 32GB 3G. Should I bother to update it to 5.0.2?

This thread is for 2013 model. There's another 2012 model thread.

Its your call, I'm still staying on 4.4.4 and it depends you wanna use it for what purposes.

Tried resetting the device?
Ran into a annoying problem yesterday, the screen cannot detect my touch at all, so cannot even unlock. Hold power and vol down together for some time and the device shutdown. It became ok after powering up again. Very odd...

I'm having the same problem with my n7 2013 also. Cannot register touch after waking from sleep mode. What I tried to do is to go put the n7 back to sleep mode (press power button once), and squeeze the area near the earphone jack using my thumb and index fingers, as if to tighten the connection between that area, and press power button again.

90% of the time I am able to get the touch to register after that. Not sure if it works for everyone.. :o

Haha got this about a year and 2 months back..

Have had erratic touch screen issues after about 6 months of use. Not sure of cause. Perhaps a drop may have messed up the internals.

Recently took it out from my bag and discovered a hairline crack across the screen (What would have caused it though..). Apparently such a hairline crack caused the digitiser to be broken, rendering the entire touch screen useless.

Now my tablet is a brick haha.

Any recommendations for a new tablet that is similar to the nexus 7?

Finally my nexus 7 decides to RIP ( refuses to charge and keep discharging ) after 2 years usage. Any good recommendation for next Nexus tablet? 7 or 9?
