Anyone have issues with the touchscreen after updating to 4.4? Sometimes the screen will not respond, thinking should do factory reset anot.

An unhappy Nexus 7 user

Best Denki had limited stock on offer for Nexus 7 32GB 3G for $249 last Sunday.

My sincere advice is not to get Nexus 7. My 1st generation Nexus 7 has failed to power up after batt was drained out. All combo of resets were tried but to no avail. A very common and widely known problem on Nexus 7 after Android 4.2 upgrade. Lots of discussion in many forums

Was at Asus Service Centre today. Becos my set is after warranty period, was told that it will cost $60 to just inspect, cost of the repair will be on top of the $60 !!! Told the customer service officer that it is ridiculous for a device at only sub $300 to be repaired at such hefty cost !!! He denied about quality issues with Nexus 7. BTW, I was there at 1130am (it opens at 9am) and my Q number was 176. Based on Asus small market share, it tell you that there could be some questionable quality issues in Asus product.

I have a paper weight with me now, "thanks" to Asus. No more Asus product for me anymore.
