[Nexus 7 General] RED_:
I can't laugh now but for the past 2-3 hours me and my brother have been complaining about the terrible internet connection. I'm just heading to bed and I thought I would filter out the mac address on my router incase someone was using my connection somehow. As I was adding my Nexus 7 MAC address, I was thinking to myself, I wonder if it's a system update or something in the background, hogging the bandwidth. 3 seconds later I get a notification telling me a system update is available.

4.4 was hogging the bloody bandwidth!

Guys 6000INR or almost 100$ more for tegra note 7 than Nexus 7 2012. 2013 is too costly here in India. So that is out of question. Is the 6k worth it for tegra? Is it good?

I hate my nexus, Asus, and Google. This is my third nexus that has touchscreen grounding issues. Screw you Google. Apple sucks but at least they don't roll out defective devices by the thousands, then not take responsibility. Not to mention two device gens in a row.

While I'm at it, tapatalk sucks too. I PAID for the app then they make it free and charge for a different version. Well guess what tapatalk devs, I'm gonna pirate it now, then share the holy hell out of my paid pirated apk. Hell I might even share it on my website all the way through a cease and decist. Ha. I don't enjoy paying for the same thing twice.

And add afh to my hate list because you know I love waiting an hour to download a 200 meg ROM. If you're gonna bomb the website with ads and donate buttons at least make the service not suck.

Can anyone beat this battery life?
[Nexus 7 General] bftb0:
Looks like you got 8 hours of use out of it over 44 hours - and basically didn't use the tablet at all for 36 hours. Is that different than just using it for 8 hours straight?

i.e., what exactly is it that we are trying to "beat"?

Most people complain that they barely get 5 hours of screen time.
[Nexus 7 General] bftb0:
I ran a battery discharge test yesterday by running a movie clip in a loop. Stock Kitkat 4.4.2 kernel & ROM. I set the scaling governor to "performance" (default is interactive) but didn't control screen brightness - I maxed it out in the Settings menu but failed to do so in Mx Player (so I don't know where it was)

Result? 100%-4% discharge time of 6.5 hours. That's for a stock 1 year old tab; I suppose it would have done better if I had tweaked things (or used the default governor).

With that player running in that configuration, my tablet was drawing 500-600 mA. That's consistent with the battery capacity rating of 4.325 A-hrs: 0.6*6.5 = 3.9 A-hrs.

But, my (stock) tablet seems to "idle" at around 280 mA when the screen is on but otherwise doing nothing; so I suppose that if I were to use an app that set a wakelock but otherwise did nothing, I might observe 13 hours of screen-on time.

Point being (of course) that the workload makes a huge difference in the results, so it is tough to compare battery discharge curves when the workload is unknown.
[Nexus 7 General] pepo930:
ROM: CleanROM v4 (stock based), no tweaks to anything

Usage: About 5 hours of watching films (MXPlayer, HW+ Decoder) and 3 hours internet browsing.

Brightness = Auto but I think it was dark so most of the time it was at minimum

So I went to walmart today.... to start, im an ***hole....no matter where, when, im a natural straight up ***hole.... and second, I hate walmart, i get annoyed the moment I get in the parking lot looking for a spot..... well, it sucked, i had to wait for like 4 people upgrading phones in electronics just to ask the guy if they had any net10 BYOP sim kits in the back or under the counter because there were none on the shelf... ive got too much crap to checkout in electronics so i go to the front to check out.... its all good, im calm, i can stare at the stupid crap on the shelf by checkout and chill for 10 minutes till i checkout.... but nevermind... theres 2 girls behind me arguing really freaking loud about whos gonna "call him" . who is him? i dont know, you tell me but they repeatedly insisted that the other call "him" until i turned around and said " just give me the phone or the phone number and ill call him if you please shutup about it" ... funny story, they left the line and went to another checkout aisle.... lmao.... id understand if they were like 15 or something but they looked older than me, and im 25...... and thats my off topic rant for the day...

one last thing, rollover ads are really dumb and make people like me mad.... come on xda, have you seriously started depending on accidental clicks of ads for income?

Experiencing freezes after latest OS update. Any other solution other than hard reset? Haven't got time for that.
[Nexus 7 General] nimbold:
It's always recommend flashing factory image and full wipe.

If you got no time for that, maybe ry some custom kernels like M-Kernel, Oxydo, faux and else and see if it helps.

Other than that try some apps for cleaning your ROM. I recommend "Clean master".

Hope it help you

When I read the words "OFF TOPIC" I was thinking something not even closely related to android or phones.....but that's just me.... No ones shat on hammers or yelled at teenage acting girls at Walmart?

It is related to android but I got the apk for tapatalk pro like I said I would and it doesn't auto refresh forums when I view them? For having tried to make me pay twice, tapatalk really blows. The least I want is to load a forum and see current posts so I'm not replying to a post that's been replied to 5 times already because it didn't auto refresh when I viewed the topic......tapatalk devs oughtta really be ashamed for this crap app. Starting tomorrow I'm going back to the good ol web browser for forums, screw tapatalk

[Nexus 7 General] Dhruvski:
I occasionally get my touch-screen going berserk which is where I might touch the screen and get a response much later, or I swipe one way and the screen moves in the opposite. It's usually ok after a reboot, but I never read up on this problem for the N7 2012. I had the flickering screen with weak WiFi signal which was horrible so I did the mod where it involved covering up one of the grounding points on the back cover. This didn't fix it completely but it improved the situation... I went from loving this tablet when I first bought it to starting to regret my purchase after a few months. The current tablet I have is the third one after my first device had screen lift, the second had the sleep of death and keeping it plugged in for hours did nothing to reboot it... including the 3 button reset.

Overall it's left me feeling uneasy about ASUS and manufacturing quality. I've got the ASUS G73jh gaming laptop which had heating problems due to poorly applied thermal compound... I opened it myself and reapplied it which dropped the temps by 20 Celsius. They make fantastic motherboards which I have in my desktop at home, they make great GPU variants of the Nvidia range (DirectCU II) but as far as their tablets and laptops, they do cut corners with screens, wifi modules and touchpads. My laptop has the most uncontrollable touchpad and it loves to misbehave. So this is neither an entirely on-topic or off-topic post.

I can say that from the Samsung devices I've used, none of them suffered from issues like Asus devices. The only I had with my galaxy nexus is the charge socket became loose and wouldn't allow me to charge but I bought the part and replaced it. My Nexus 10 has backlight bleed but it's not too bad to fret about and the overall quality of the screen is still great. My long post can be neatly concluded by saying ASUS needs to pull out its finger and improve quality across the board so that the entire end-user experience is not destroyed.

[Nexus 7 General] PVL_93_RU:
So guys, if there is an even newer N7 model coming or a Nexus 8 - are you planning to upgrade to one or will you keep your current N7?
[Nexus 7 General] adomol:
I will most likely pickup the new N7 or N8, whichever it happens to be. Mostly because I like new gadgets. Although both my N7's are running in tip top shape... I hope I didn't just jinx myself! :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] PVL_93_RU:
So you're willing to sacrifice the portability of N7 for bigger screen of an N8 (if there will be one)?

Because I'm kinda going fine with Nexus 4 (planning to upgrade to Nexus 5, or maybe Nexus 6, whichever reaaches me first) + Nexus 7 2013 + Nexus 10

I absolutely love the sizes and weights of both N7 generations, and stepping it up to N8 would be kind of going backwards with less portability just for the sake of +1" screen size increase
[Nexus 7 General] adomol:
Portability is not an issue for me. And like I said, I mostly want it because I like new gadgets. I have not had a larger format tablet since way back when I had the first iPad... boy have I seen the light! Also, since I have both the N7's so far I will have the option for something smaller if the situation were to arise where portability were to be a concern. So I guess the bottem line is, I don't even really need a new tablet, but I'll probably get the next Nexus tab anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] PVL_93_RU:
But isn't it a more viable option to get a lightweight 10" tablet like Xperia Tablet Z and get approx. the same weight and portability as an average 8" device while having a bigger device for more productivity?
[Nexus 7 General] swarls:
Didn't know where else to post, so i do it here...

[Nexus 7 General] viba-:
I just sold my Nexus 7 today.

I bought it in October 2012 and have been using it heavily ever since, but I never was completely happy with the screen size, ratio and density. I use my tablet mostly for surfing (always full websites, not mobile versions) and reading/annotating pdfs. In portrait mode, this is just impossible with the N7. The fonts are too tiny to be able to read anything. In landscape mode font size is small but okay, but even when making the navigation bar as small as possible or using pie or immersive mode, it still feels like looking through a slit. And let's be honest, my N7 was 18 months old. Performance was just not that good any more.

So when I stumbled upon the LG Pad 8.3 a month ago, I knew this was what I was looking for. Way more screen estate, excellent density, 16:10 ratio, tiny bezel, same weight as the N7 2012. It's not that much bigger than the N7, only 1.8 cm in length and 0.6 cm in width, so it's still very portable. Surfing and working with this device is just a delight! That 1.3'' difference is exactly what I felt the N7 was lacking. Sure, it's not a Nexus. But since the GPE editions and Xposed became available I can work around that. The only issue I have with the LG Pad is the poor battery life, but I guess I can live with that.

Byebye beloved N7 :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] Bl4ckX:
I dont wanted to start an extra thread so I am just going to ask this here: Is there anyone else whose Nexus 7 has gotten absolutely needless since a 5'' phone? In the times I still owned my HTC One X I used my N7 a lot, mainly because I wanted to conserve battery, which always was terrible on CM with the HOX. But since I got my Nexus 5 as a replacement I stopped using the N7 more and more. A few days ago I even put it back into the box it shipped with just to see how long I can "live" without it. And as it seems I dont miss it at all because I am doing all the things one the N5 now. So is there anyone else who stopped unsing theirs?
[Nexus 7 General] dadangle:
When the hell did everyone get so damn snobby? "Let's be honest, my n7 was 18 months old"... Boo hoo man.. Mine is just as old as yours and I still accomplish amazing things on here. And quit complaining about screen estate and density.. Do you not remember the day they gave us colored snake and tetris on the ol' nokia brick pos. Just be thankful ya dicks

[Nexus 7 General] Bl4ckX:
The screen of the N7 has never been the best but that didn't bother me. But what actually bothers me is the performance the N7 offers me in daz to day tasks and this is horrible and one of the main reasons why I stopped using it. Even though I am running an F2FS Kernel it suffers from sick stutters, freezes and lag everywhere.
[Nexus 7 General] dadangle:
You must really have some heavy tasks then man. I use the living hell out of my nexus and if I kept my file system clean, keep only essential apps installed and run a light ROM, its perfect. I normally don't even bother with a custom kernel unless an app calls for one. I didn't mean to be a **** before or do now, but maybe its your own habits that bog your device down. I know that no matter how often I clean up my girlfriends HTC one, she's still going to have 5 apps running, 10 webpages up and then huffs and puffs when Pandora gets laggy.. Yet when I do anything on my damn kyocera rise.. its flawless.. because that's how I keep it. The user is a factor that this forum forgets too often when diagnosing a problem, yet its definitely the most common cure. The grouper is an amazing tablet and it literally changed game. So maybe you're just doing it wrong. It being everything. And why the hell did you come to the nexus 7 threads to ask who has stopped using their nexus 7...?

sent from god...
[Nexus 7 General] Bl4ckX:
Let's start from the bottom. Why I came to the nexus 7 forums for this? Because most people here own one lol. Wouldn't make no sense to ask for this in any other devices forum. Except for the N5s maybe.

The thing is I don't do anything special on my N7. I normally used it for listening to music, watching videos and nothing to fancy. Maybe this thing needs a complete wipe including /sdcard although there is almost nothing on there.

But let's end this here. I think I am making myself a bit unpopular here. :D
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
I have had my n7 for over a year now and as far as performance I can't complain and the screen does just fine. I bought my wife a 2013 n7 just because its newer other than it having a new screen and colors look richer. My old n7 does me just fine. If you think the n7 looks bad just compare it to the Samsung galaxy tab 2. Now that's a horrible display. I got one for my son and was disappointed in how it looked. I think for the price the n7 is a great device and people are always going to nitpick stuff and never be truly happy.

[Nexus 7 General] nimbold:
Got my **** together and went for F2FS thing. The hard part for me was to back up data on 32GB tablet with this ****ty MTP. But after hours of copying files, it was done.

Formated /system /cache and /data to F2FS (using multirom menu) and then doing usually things (flashing ROM, gapps, kernel and TB). Also I used a script for converting ROM to F2FS.

For now i'm happy with performance of this "thing" and gonna stick with it I guess.

People should try this :)
[Nexus 7 General] dadangle:
That's awesome dude. I've been thinking of switching to f2fs but I don't really have performance issues now. Could you provide the script and method you mentioned? I think that might make the difference for me lol. Thanks

I guess I stepped on some toes when I dared to say the N7 is not the perfect device anymore in mid 2014. Next time you "don't mean to be a ****", preview your posts and think again whether you're being a **** or not. Buying a tablet that fits my needs has nothing to do with nitpicking or being snobby or unthankful. Two years ago, the nexus 7 *was* an amazing device, but Android tablets have come a long way since then.

I never said the n7 had a particularly bad screen or that performance issues rendered it completely unusable. All I said was that I wanted a tablet with a slightly bigger screen and up-to-date performance and screen density. If you are still happy with the n7, good for you. But when I'm working with my tablet, I *do* need to be able to use 5 apps including a browser and a few pdfs with sizes up to 100 mb simultaneously. And no, I can't "keep my filesystem clean" because I need all those files. That's what my tablet is for. If I wanted a mobile picture frame or just something to play angry birds on, I'd have kept the n7. But for the stuff that I need my tablet for, it just didn't cut it any more. Deal with it.
