[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
Fair enough sfhub, I guess I interpreted Google's commitment differently. It seemed to me that "looking into it" implied they are troubleshooting, which appeared to me they were commited to fixing the issue.

They asked about google play services, and were interested to hear that it affects the stability of the GPS. That alone, seemed to imply (in my naive perception), that software has an intergral role in fault.

I interpreted the semantics differently than you, and basically deemed that I personally wouldn't return the Nexus as there is a good chance Google could patch the problem.

However, after reading your excellent breakdown of Google's communication, I see your point of view. I am therefore much more concerned that it is a hardware fault. I still remain blindly optimistic that it is a software problem. After all, the GPS can be stable under certain software circumstances (disabling google play, using only specific apps, and only one at a time).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Don't get me wrong, I would love the problem to be fixable in software and have a gut feeling that it can (because I can use just Google Maps and nothing else and it won't drop) but without any knowledge of the root cause that is purely a guess/gamble.

Paul Wilcox mentioning Google Play Services was actually in response to a couple of users posting they had disabled Google Play Services and it helped their GPS situation. It wasn't something Google determined on their own and was reaching out to the community.

I'm skeptical that is the issue as I have Google Play Services disabled and I still get the dropouts and other folks have mentioned upgrading Google Play Services helped their situation while others mentioned downgrading helped their situation.

If I were to guess, Google Play Services may have some effect on the issue, but isn't the root cause.

IMO "looking into it" just means you've gotten past the PEBKAC-meter.

2013.07

32GB

I purchased this unit from the Google Store and received it this morning. I own a nexus 7 2012 and it has always worked fine. So I knew how to set up the GPS. After trying for an hour I phoned Google Support and and was sent on reams of useless apps that really did not have anything to do with the GPS. When she asked me if I could see my location on the google map I told her yes but only because I was hooked up on WIFI. The we went on a 15 minute discussion on the fact the tablet was not outside. I told her the other tablet which was more than 5 feet further to the window was working just fine with 11/12 SAT/FIX. This was a very painful part of the conversation. Finally she offered to have me download apps that would not need the GPS and make do without it.

At this point I told her I was getting somewhat upset and asked her to pass me to someone else. I basically went through the routine all over again and I finally told him I would send the unit back and have my credit card reverse the charge. That seem to wake him up. He then offered to send me a new unit and for me to hold to this one until the new one comes in. So that is where we are right now.

This was the first time dealing with google support and I sure was not impressed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aptech:
no problem so far

ive been using the gps for a good amount of time and i haven't had an issue yet
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Don't take this the wrong way but the thread is looking for people who have a GPS problem and got a replacement unit to try and resolve.

It seems you never had a gps issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sleepnmojo:
Did you reboot after disabling Google play services? That was the only way I could get it to work.

Disable and delete updates

Reboot

GPS works in navigation now

You get a ton of notifications to enable it again, but most apps still work fine without it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Yes, I have no updates at the moment, just what came stock, froze play services, rebooted.

I can get GPS to work indefinitely if I only use Google maps.

Once I use other GPS apps, including Google nav, it will lose ability to lock anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Sounds like a driver issue. Anyone try CM and if you get better results?

CM use their own kernel and drivers so you should get different results. That should prove it would be fixable in software.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Francois88:
The issue is very intermittent. Today I wasn't able to reproduce with 2hours of GPS on. I have tried both stock and CM and had the bug on both.

Yesterday I lost lock consistently after 15-25mins on but rebooting would return it to life which makes me strongly believe it's fixable with software so I'm not too worried.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] budco2000:
I got my new 2013 Nexus 7 today, and GPS won't do anything. It's turned on, but when I start GPS test, Not a single satellite found, and when i open google maps, nothing, the little icon don't even appear in the status bar. I checked twice, the use gps satellites is checked. Not sure if I'm gonna return it or not. I use my galaxy s4 or my Note 2 for navigation anyways.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Google Maps has a good fix on me but probably due to WiFi. I downloaded a GPS tester and didn't find 1 satellite. Granted I didn't leave my house, but I can usually get a lock with other devices. I'm sure it works. I can't remember ever using my tab for GPS.

I'm sure its just wonky in software. I am using CM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] maopr16:
installed the 8/21/13 CM nightly..running smooth with quick GPS lock using Navfree USA. Will try this for a couple of days and evaluate.

My GPS works perfectly now while it didn't 2 weeks ago. The only thing I remember is a maps app update....

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
I upgraded back when 4.3 first came out and I didn't like it. Two main reasons were that flash absolutely wouldn't work even with adobe flash installed and stock browser installed. I know flash isn't officially supported in jellybean but it works almost flawlessly on 4.2.2 with the right browsers. Couldn't get it working at all on 4.3 and there are a few content sites out there that I enjoy where flash is still required unfortunately. Hopefully flash will eventually be completely consumed by html5. The other main reason was that I couldn't get any type of adblock to function on 4.3 where as on 4.2.2 it works fine. I would like to take advantage of the supposed stability that 4.3 offers but I don't think its worth the cost of having no flash. I guess I could live with having to see adds. Does anyone know if there is a way to get flash working on 4.3?

If i knew that i wouldn't get anything noticable with 4.3 like it is, i would never update to 4.3

4.2.2 worked awesome, but with 4.3 i have some micro lags in some areas.

Btw, "adaway" works great on rooted 4.3, try it.

I just got myself a dock for the N7 (the official asus dock, that is).

i have setup the tablet to stay on when docked, which it does just fine, but after a certain amount of time, the display dims, but i want it to stay at full brightness all the time.

It seems to be dimming at the time set in Display-Sleep, but the Max. value on that is 30 minutes, and i want it to just stay bright all the time.

Is there any way to do this?

I have an old s2 sgh-I727r and the screen toned out and it won't come back on. It still works but no screen. I can feel it vibrate and turn on, also works fine on mhl if you use the screen for touch and watch the screen on the tv. Has anyone seen a oled just crap out like this? If I replace the screen is there a chance it could be something else. The screen is a $112. So want to make sure it is the screen.

Then move on to Build number option

Tap on Build number repeatedly about 7 times.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
I have the latest version of Sync Manager loaded on my Windows 7 PC. When I connect my HTC One with the USB cable, my PC sees the HTC One as a connected Portable Device and pops up the AutoPlay window with options of what to do with the device. However, the HTC Sync Mgr window says there is no phone connected. Notifications in the phone says that USB is connected and the USB debugging is connected.

What do I need to do to get Sync Manager to see the phone and to sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts? Help would be most appreciated. TIA!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
This is NUTS!!

This is really nuts. I have an email plus attachment from HTC Support telling me that I have to perform a Selective Startup on Win 7 in order to sync my HTC One with the HTC Sync Manager in Win 7.

I never had to do this with my Vivid!

Looks like I need to return the HTC One to the store and get a Samsung! :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
That's a silly reason to get a Samsung
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Not silly at all! If the HTC One cannot be used to sync Microsoft Outlook Calendars and Contacts, it is not fully usable; and as such, needs to be replaced - be it with another HTC One that works properly or a Samsung.

FWIW, HTC Support has had me try a variety of different things, including trying to get the HTC One to be recognized and sync with HTC Sync Manager on a different computer. Same results, Both computers can see the HTC One, but HTC Sync Mgr will not recognize the device; and give the message "Phone not connected".

That points at the HTC One as being the problem - either hardware or software settings. HTC Support does not want to look there.

I guess it goes back to the store for an exchange.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Finally, A Solution

After multiple uninstalls and reinstalls of the HTC Sync Manager and a variety of other ineffective suggestions at the behest of HTC Support, it seems that the HTC One driver was not installed on my PC.

The solution was to update or refresh the driver in the PC Device Manager while the HTC One is

connected

to the PC by the USB cable

The path to the driver for Win 7/64 is: C:\Program Files_x86>>HTC>HTC Driver>Driver Files>Win7_x64

Then Double click the androidusb.inf file. Restart your PC and you should be good to go.

Unsuccessful attempts had been made to do this with the HTC One NOT connected to the PC.

Once the refresh/update was completed with the HTC One connected, a restart of the PC was required; and, once restarted, away we went.:victory:

It really took far too many contacts with HTC:Support to get this thing resolved! :mad:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Flash in the Pan

Well, I was able to get HTC Syn Mgr to recognize and sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts to the HTC One device yesterday one time.

Since then I have not been able to repeat the action; and HTC Sync Mgr absolutely will not recognize or sync the HTC One today. :crying: I think I need to take it back and exchange it for another one.:(

This problem is the same with two different USB cables and two different PC's. The only thing common is the single HTC One device.

An interesting side note. The calendars that did sync the one time are all synced one day off from the dates in Outlook. :confused::confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Won't Play on the Same Playground

HTC Syn Manager will not play on the same playground as other sync software, even if that software is not active.

I had to uninstall ASUS Sync. Then uninstall HTC Sync Manager and it's co-workers; and then reinstall it.

It now works as it's supposed to work.

HTC is aware of this, but actually seems to like the fact that they make you remove the ASUS software for the HTC Sync Mgr to work.:( :p

When I suggested that they need to update HTC Sync Mgr so that it will play on the same playground as other sync software, their answer in not so many words was essentially "Don't hold your breath."

Thank you for the information, but I cannot get it to work, I do not seem to be able to update the driver.

Hey,

Got this phone of ebay a little while ago and my outgoing MMS worked fine for about a month. The phone has been rooted and seems like it was running a custom ROM. However everything has been fine.

Now when I send a MMS it gets stuck on "sending" and eventually it will say message failed to send.

This is what I've tried:

Deleting the cache for messaging app (stock)

Adding a new Verizon APN

Getting a new sim card

I can receive MMS just fine, doesnt matter if im on 4G/Wifi cant send them out.

I was thinking about trying to flash my radio, or go back to the completely stock phone.

Anyone have any ideas?
