    Nexus 7 constantly crashing, unable to reset, not storing changes

    The memory on your tablet has gone bad and now is in readonly mode. This cannot be fixed in software. I would boot into twrp and backup any files needed via USB. Your only choice is a new motherboard or a new tablet. Replacing the motherboard is of about medium dificultly, and they can be...

    Nexus 7 tablet isn't recognized by PC (no where in device manager)

    What os? If Windows 10, try safe mode. If you only have usb3 ports, try going through a usb2 hub.

    Nexus 7 "Soft Bricked" in Boot Loop, need help in simple terms to restore.

    Re: Nexus 7 "Soft Bricked" in Boot Loop, need help in simple terms to restore. If a factory reset fails, there is a good chance the flash memory has gone bad, meaning a new motherboard or a new tablet is needed. As you have nothing to lose, suggest you download the Nexus Root Toolkit...

    gps free

    Assume you want an offline GPS program. You really won't find any that are free with current maps, but there are a few that are pretty cheap. Sygic is free, you just buy the maps. It works pretty good on the Nexus 7 2012. No need for an external antenna but external power would be good.

    minisuit case and keyboard

    I just started using the generic m_edge Bluetooth keyboard case available from yugster.com for about $10 plus shipping. Suggest you have a screen protector as the keyboard does touch screen when it is closed. The keyboard is better quality than average, is removable, and backlit. You can...

    ethernet

    I use a trendnet tu2-et100 USB to Ethernet adapter with a POWERED USB hub on an OTG cable. Works great with my Nexus 7 2012 and my Nexus 10. The Nexus 10 is stock, but the 7 is running latest stable CM version so have not tested stock Nexus 7 but pretty sure it should be OK. You can skip...

    Nexus 7 [WiFi] [1st Gen] - hardbricked? Doesn't boot but Windows makes a sound when plugged

    Try to power on when charger plugged in. If that fails, leave plugged in for an hour then try again. If that fails, try the battery thing again. At worst, you will need a new motherboard, which is around 20-50 dollars depending on storage size and how lucky you are on eBay. Or just buy a...

    Nexus 7 [WiFi] [1st Gen] - hardbricked? Doesn't boot but Windows makes a sound when plugged

    Take the back cover off, then unplug the battery, hit the power button, then plug the battery back in. Try booting. If that fails, repeat, but instead of just turning it on, there is a special button sequence like hitting power and vol up at same time, then letting go of just the power button...

    DZ09 on freedom pop?

    As a followup, if you go the FREE route, the FreedomPop sim will only allow you to do data from the watch, no calls, no sms. This would be great but about all you are going to do is read notification from Facebook, as the browser is just too small, and it is too hard to type to send messages...

    Connect phone to tv hdmi?

    You don't need the mhl adapter for the evo 4g, you can get a cable that goes directly from the phone to the tv, but Stock only supports a few apps to redirect to HDMI... You will need to root the phone and install a program like HDMwIn for Evo 4G to redirect everything... (Also recommend...
