I can confirm that all is well on 4.2.2 and the apps all run fast, just like they used to before Google screwed up by releasing Android 5 on to Nexus 2012 tablets. And why 4.2? only because I remember that when I got the Nexus that was what it was running, and ever after that performance tailed...

Re: Nexus 7 booting failed Its all sorted. After a lot of searching, I found an article at How to Hard Reset a Bricked Nexus 7 With Your PC that meant I had to download a lot of software, but it looked as though it had promise. Promise it did, and though on my first attempt it failed with a...

Nexus 7 booting failed I wanted to downgrade from the abortion that Android 5.1.1 is on my Nexus 7, so looked at a number of artilces, and decided to use NRT Updater, as this seemed to be the simplest way. Suffice to say that it wasn't and it ended up having totally screwed my tablet. I got...

Despite factory reset, recovery cache clearing, my Nexus still runs like a pig on Android 5.1, not all the time. It can take up to 5 minutes to wake up in the morning, with network at decent strength. Browsing is a variable feast, with Chrome very slow, and Dolphin only marginally better. GMail...

Re: My Nexus won't do anything!!! Help please. OK, I sorted it - a web site I checked said hold power down for a minute and it revived. Is there anywhere that all these "unusual" key combinations etc are documented?

My Nexus won't do anything!!! Help please. I've been having problems (performance and hanging apps) with my Nexus 7 2012 on Android 5.1 I read all the suggestions, and decided first to get into recovery mode and wipe the Recovery Cache. Well, I screwed it up, and pressed the wrong buttons and...

Its been a week now since I did the factory reset, having done the cache clear before. Its working pretty well, apart from most of the Google Apps. Chrome is bad, slow and sometimes locks. GMail is slow but seems stable. Maps takes an age, and the old trick of OK Maps to save a map section...

I tried FB again this morning, and for about 5 minutes it was awful. Then it seemed to speed up, and is now working fine. I had been using FB via Chrome, and when I tried that, it was slow and said it had stopped working. Killed that, and tried again, and managed to delete the tab, and all is...

I did the factory reset, and started loading my apps again from Play Store. All went well until I downloaded Facebook, which froze, until it gave me the option to close or report. This happened 3 times and so I uninstalled it. All well again. Could the culprit somehow be Facebook?

My Nexus 7 got the update and naively I let it install. Since then it has been horrendously unstable. Chrome is the worst, often freezing for minutes, and then asking me if I want to report it. Report it? I want to kill it. I bought the Nexus because I thought that since Google developed Android...

Thanks for your reply. If I understand you properly, I should change the ssid of the extender to something else. As the Nexus is pretty poor at changing from one network to another, with any luck it will stay with the one it is connected to when I move rooms to the one in which the current...

Nexus 7 freezes when changing network - wifi extender I have a wifi extender in one room, and the hub with wifi in another two solid walls away. I have set my wifi extender to have the same ssid as the router one, in the hope that I can get seamless networking around the house. Sadly not, as...
