Problems with an application

I'm trying to install this application on my nexus 7 but it happens to close my play store.

It's a free application that I'm trying to download on my Nexus but it don't install properly. Someone can download this and send me the apk?

Gesture (or swype) typing not recognizing my input..

I just purchased a 32GB Nexus 7 a couple of days ago (brand new) and I have really been enjoying it.. However, it seems that gesture typing on the stock keyboard is not properly recognizing my finger input or simply does "gesture" as I move my finger across the keys, but those same keys work when I am normally typing. Is this a problem with the stock keyboard that others have seen? And yes, I have that feature enabled, lol.

Could it be a problem with my device as a whole? I mention it being a problem with my device as I have noticed that when I an inside the Facebook app and I attempt to 'Like' something, it just doesn't do anything, no matter how many times I tap that darn 'Like' button.. even my husband tried it. And I have had this problem while in some other apps ever so often, but it is most frequent in Facebook. I suppose that could simply be the app itself, but would like some input..

Try studying and looking carefully at the screen if you don't think its the screen its probably the touch screen. If I where you I would install a free drawing application from the play store and test to see if all of the points on the screen are reactive. Sorry that's all I can think of

But your fingers must be very big and that is a sort of problem with with these 7" tablets its happened before when I let my cousin use my n7 who has large fingers and he had trouble with the touch screen. Don't worry about it its probably something small
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
Try this app and make sure all points on the touchscreen are registering properly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onesimplefocus.touchscreentester

If it is then there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna_Sky:
Thanks for the app recommendation! I did not see it any where in the app description, does this app only register one touch at a time? I noticed when using it that it only registered one finger when trying to use 2.. Maybe I just missed it somewhere, lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
Yes. I believe so. That app is only to make sure all parts of the touchscreen are registering touches properly (to make sure you don't have any dead spots on your touchscreen)

If you would like to test your multi touch you can install this app :)

Fast discharge is a problem

My nexus 7 has faced a few fatal drops and jerking. First some dead pixels and distorted liquid at margins. Next speaker diaphragms/coils got torn.

So far so good. Then one fine morning the digitizer stopped working. That time I also noticed that the battery is discharging quickly. After a few disassembly/assembly cycles those two problems were inexplicably solved. A few days ago I took the tablet with me on a rough journey. On opening my bag and taking it out I noticed an unresponsive touchscreen. This time I observed the fast discharge rate of 1% per 3-4 mins even in sleep/turned off situation. and charging never ends- it gets stuck somewhere above 90%. This time numerous disassembly/assembly solved nothing, and although I can live with a broken digitizer, I can do nothing on a tablet that refuses to turn on after a 70% charged-and-then-switched-off state for a whole night. An observation that can help is that the Tegra region remains hot always. Has anyone faced a similar problem?

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Another thing: the display now goes garbled if I pull out the battery connector while the tablet is on AC charge. Previously it used to remain turned on and functional.

Bought the wrong screen or someting else?

Hey,

I would like to have a second opinion on my google Nexus 7 status.

I've had a cracked screen and replaced the digitizer and due to the optical glue also the lcd.

Here are the results.

Good news is that the digitiser is working.

Fiddling with the cable resulted from no screen to the above?

Is more fiddling required or is the screen botched?

Stuck in APX

I should probably start off by saying that 90% of everything said in these forums is a foreign language to me. However, I was hoping someone out there would know how to help me get my N7 up and running again. I cracked the screen and replaced it, all was running flawlessly for about 5 minutes. I put it down came back half hour later and wouldn't do anything. It was fully charged when I replaced the screen so that can't be it. It has also charged overnight twice since. I haven't changed anything on it, no flashing or booting things. I tried every combo of the power and volume buttons that I can think of. The only response is on my computer it shows up as APX and will not download any driver. I don't care about any of my info, files, music, apps etc. I just want to get it back on and running again.

I downloaded Nexus 7 Toolkit but I have no idea where to begin on that or if it would even help.

Is my Nexus a goner?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
I'm no expert but sometimes what you have to do is press the power button continuously (without letting go) until something (the Google X) appears on the screen.

help please

I have tried to flash stock / unroot my Nexus 7 with wugfresh toolkit 1.6.5 and after flashing it is stuck, with "booting failed" can't proceed.

Repeated the process several times, in bootloop / softbricked mode and it puts the boot loader on again, but fails.

Error message: archive doesn't contain boot.sig, recovery.sig, system.sig. Failed.

I think it is bricked.

Any help will be appreciated.

Try doing it manually.. Download the stock image from the google website, and flash it using

fastboot flash ..

from the bootloader..That, if done correctly, will work.. If you need fastboot and adb binaries, here's the links..

addad more info

Thanks for the reply, but adb cannot detect the device, because it cannot boot.

The other problem is that I am not very knowledgeable in this.

It is fine if I am using the wugfresh tool, where everything is automated. (when it works).

Here are some more details:

Using Wugfresh Toolkit I booted into temporary Custom Recovery.

This loaded TWRP where I have done a data wipe to get back the memory which was 0 bytes before.

Tried to flash the 4.3 OS zip in TWRP with OTG, which has failed.

The Flash Stock + Unroot (selecting soft bricked / bootloop) will start the process, but fails to put the OS onto the device.

back to square one.

Any advice will be appreciated.

I clicked the update (stupid I know) and because I was stock 4.2.2, but rooted, got bootloop. I had to use fastboot to update to the stock 4.3, now hunting for root instructions. I post this so folks running anything non-stock don't blindly accept the OTA update or headaches will ensue.

I too have a rooted nexus 7 running stock 4.2.2 and am scared to update to 4.3 precisely because I suspect I will end up where you are. Not being an android expert I would be up the creek without a paddle.

I wish someone who knows would explain what *specific* backups one needs to do before the upgrade to have some way to restore things (system, apps and data) to where the tablet was in case of problems with the update.

The new version of Google Maps (which I'm guessing came with the update) doesn't have a separate navigation icon. You have to go into Maps and start navigation - there's an icon in there that sort of looks like a Y. This is one of many things about the new Maps (I believe 7.0.2 is the latest) that is causing much outrage all over the Interwebs.

My device was working well (never rooted) before the OTA update. Now it lags on everything. Opening Play Books takes 20-30 seconds. Opening an ebook within that ap takes another half minute. Typing with Swiftkey is nearly impossible. It takes up to 20 seconds to open the bookmarks page in Chrome.

Yeah, you're right. The Nav icon is on/in Maps but it sucks to use! Was so much easier and made much more sense before! So now I have to set everything up (destination, alt route, avoid hwys, avoid tolls, add next destination, etc, etc, etc) before pulling out of the driveway!! I just wished I had known that the other day when I took off expecting the nav icon to be there and to be what I already knew! Trying to do this "on the fly" while already moving means I have to pull over and screw around with it and check to be sure it's giving me the route I wanted. Bummer.

And of course big G disclaims, like every other product, "Hey, this app is Beta, so use at your own risk"

Oh well. Hey, thanks a mill for your help!

I'm having the same issue. I was stock rooted before the update. I updated last night and it's been a nightmare ever since. It takes almost 10 minutes for any of the widgets or apps to load on the homescreen. I have yet to successfully load the app drawer. Opening an app takes minutes and causes everything to freeze. Scrolling through pages causes screen freeze and messages asking me whether I want to wait or force close. Swiftkey is unusable. I can't take this anymore. This update completely ruined my N7.

I'm out of warranty. After nearly a year of not having any issues the infamous screen issue showed up out of no where. Now it creaks on the left and applying pressure on the left bezel causes the lcd to wig out. Whats the best fix for this? I took off the back, tightened the screws on the left, and that appeared to work, but it didn't last. I really can't afford to upgrade to the new one, and now that 4.3 has made it nearly as fast as my 4 I am pretty content, but the creaking drives me nuts and I don't want the screen to crack from being uneven. A google search gives a million theories and remedies but I want a real answer! Ifixit has taken it apart completely how can anyone honestly not know the cause and solution?

However what I am now seriously debating is what are the advantages of updating my nexus 7 android 4.2.2 to 4.3. Root becomes harder to achieve, I've gotten used to using fstrim regularly, some have noticed a slow down after the update (which others have not), a number of apps have not yet been updated to work properly with 4.3. My rooted 4.2.2 nexus 7 work great (with fstrim). What do I give up by not upgrading to 4.3 besides bragging rights? Also a serious question.

get apps to recognize/index external HD

Currently i am getting my 2012 Nexus 7 32GB model prepared for a semi permanent install in the dash of a 2006 Acura TSX to function as a GPS Nav and Media unit. I have been looking at options for increasing storage capacity, and have successfully used nexus media importer with a 500 GB external Hard drive. The issue i am having is that once the drive is recognized, my media apps like poweramp and google play music do not index the media on the external drive. I can only access through media importer. My preferred media players like google play music only shows the local storage but not the external usb drive.

Does stickmount provide this function if i root? never had a need to root but if root gives this functionality i will happily root. Just never really saw a need to until now. Any help/directions to further research how to get a functional external storage solution would be great.

TLDR - how do i get my media apps treat external storage like its internal storage when using stickmount/nexus media importer so i can flip through my album art covers instead picking from a drab list.
