That guide is for the Nexus 7 first Gen, do you know of a guide for the 2nd Gen? I think the connector is the problem. I flashed a torch into it and it appears and looks like one pin might be damaged. I dont really need to micro-usb port as a port and don't mind directly soldering the OTG host...

Thanks. Not sure what more I can do, might have to cut my losses and sell it for spares and parts and maybe buy another. But worried same thing might happen to the other one.

Nothing at all. As if it just does not exist. Furthermore if I boot into recovery and go into TWRP and if I plug a USB stick to mount, the USB-OTG shows up as 0MB and just does not let me mount the USB at all. This is something that used to work before. If i click on "Mount" and try to mount...

Nope, fastboot just doesnt connect or detect the USB device at all in bootloader or recovery mode. I've attempted it so many times. At first this started happening within the OS itself thats why i decided to try and wipe the cache but ended up wiping the OS accidentally. The USB was working and...

Is there any way to confirm this? The device charges through USB. If i plug it into a computer it starts charging but that's all and no data at all.

My Nexus 7 all of a sudden stopped sending data through usb OTG and i tried to erase cache through TRWP but ended up deleting the OS. Now I am stuck with a device with no OS. I cannot mount the USB for my computer to recognise it so that I can restore it. I tried ADB sideload but it doesnt load...

I am looking for a way to be able to display messages that come to WhatsApp on my phone onto my Nexus 7 tablet. Seeing as you cannot have one number registered to more than one device with WhatsApp, the only way this seems possible is to use "WhatsApp Web". I tried out "WhatsApp Web" on my...

Awesome, i've downloaded Here maps and trying it out. One question, I do have a data sim so data is available. In HERE maps, I have to go and select "Go Offline" to use offline mode. Only problem I see is that if I go offline, then traffic information will not really be available. So the...

Does HereMaps have live traffic? Last time i tried using HereMaps, it didnt have option to go landscape.

The new Google maps allows offline areas. However, the expiry in 30 days is a huge disappointment. We should be able to choose or prompted to update the map rather than expiring. I'm using Maps on a Tablet that's permanently installed in a car and therefore WiFi isn't always available. I have to...

As the network is restricting the sim card for use on mobile phones only, and if what you are saying about the way they determine if it's a mobile, tablet or dongle is through IMEI, then if I buy a cheap phone that I am willing to scrap and tranfser the IMEI of the phone to my tablet will that...

I have a pay as you go sim card which the carrier says is only for mobile use and not dongles or tablets. I am installing a Nexus tablet in my car as a in-dash infotainment system. I would hardly be using the internet on it and Google maps now has offline areas which makes it even better...

Just a quick update, i took it out without any data sim and after a while eventually i got 3d fix and it followed me well. If at one point the device went to sleep and when i woke it up I lose the fix.

I have a 2013 Nexus 7 LTE model on android version 5.1.1. I'm having some serious issues with GPS on it, i've loaded an app called GPS test and cannot seem to get a fix at all. Even standing outdoors. All the bars go green. The "In Use" number count increases and then it all drops back to zero...
