I received a given away of Nexus 7 tablet at Google IO 2012.
When I was still the conference, I spent several minutes on setting it up.
As suggested I used the WiFi network connection and my Google account,
and did not find any issue in the process.
While checking to see if there is any way to log out my gmail account,
I could not see any menu option to allow me to log out of my gmail,
(though in the Settings, there is option to remove the gmail account)
so I decided to reset the device, then try to set it up again,
and that was where I found one issue:
If I choose to say I have a gmail account, but have not chosen any network connection, the device would keep trying to find the WiFi connection, and could not time out, and hanging on there.
Now I am at home, and trying to reset it again.
First I did a factory reset, then the device was booted up.
After selecting language, I came to the 2nd screen of setting up,
it was for selecting WiFi, now it seems there is no way to skip this step.
Looks like there are other issues with the device.
When I connected the Nexus 7 with my laptop using the USB cable,
the laptop tried to install some drivers for this new device.
Then I used the adb command to check if it is listed,
the "adb devices" command did not find the Nexus 7.
By the way, my laptop is Win7 64bit Enterprise version
on Intel i7 Q720@1.60GHZ, 10GB RAM.
I heard that some people also have the same issue.
At XDA, there are posts about installing PdaNet or 360 Mobile Assistant
to solve the problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28038699).
What I tried is the following:
First I connected the Nexus 7 to my laptop with the USB cable,
then I opened the Control panel to check the devices.
I saw Nexus 7 was listed as MTP storage device
when I selected MTP in USB computer connection, and
Nexus 7 was listed as Camera when I selected PTP.
I right-clicked the Nexus 7 to check its properties,
then choose the "Hardware" tab, and clicked on
the "Properties" button, following by clicking
on "Change settings".
In new window, in the "Drivers" tab, I clicked "Update drivers",
and repeated these steps for both MTP selection and PTP selection.
Now the device is listed in the output of "adb devices".
