    How's your S7 battery holding up?

    The factory reset solved my fast draining battery problems. The battery lasts as long now or longer than when it was new. Just be sure to do a backup.

    How to transfer files (photos and videos) from S7 to Mac?

    The easiest way I have found to transfer photos between S7 with Nougat to a Macbook Pro is plug in the S7 to a usb port on the mac. Swipe down the notifications and tap on the Transferring media files via USB, THEN on that screen tap on the "TRANSFERRING IMAGES" (this is a PTP connection not a...

    Are our 2012 nexus 7s doomed?

    I have updated to 5.1.1 and it works quite well. Just stay away from Chrome, it will still freeze. I use Firefox and works very well.

    How can I go back to KitKat after the Lollipop update killed my Nexus 7 (2012)?

    If 5.0.2 isn't working well you need to do a factory reset.

    Lollipop 5.0.2

    I want to second to those that say you must do a factory reset. I went along about a week with just the 5.0.2 download. Many freezes, crashes, one night the battery went from 80% charge to 10% in the morning. Something came on during the night and drained the battery. I finally decided it was...

    Nexus 7 dead as a door nail any advice??

    Had the Nexus been asleep when you then tried to open it or had it been turned off and now nothing when you tried to start it? What was the battery charge last time you used it? The only thing I can think of off hand is plug it into the usb port on your laptop and let it charge for several...

    HDX specs impressive

    I'll start the discussion. The specs for this tablet seem impressive to me The screen resolution and snapdragon 800 processor. I have a 2012 Nexus 7 and have waited until the 2013 Nexus LTE came out and was considering an upgrade. However, viewing the specs on the HDX leave me in doubt about...

    When will the new Nexus 7 with LTE come out???

    The bandwidth that the new Nexus 7 covers for lte is the full range including the newest 700 and 750 bands, so as far as lte goes it is way ahead of most cell phones. It is unlocked so all companies are covered.

    No more OFFLINE maps on Google Maps

    The latest update on Google maps has a revamped UI and there does not seem to be any offline maps any longer. This is a bad change for a wifi only Nexus 7. It makes the Nexus 7 pretty useless for using as a driving GPS. I had used the offline maps in areas that had no cell service never mind...

    Max Volume problem

    OP, have you tried Dice Player, their sound setting allows 100%, 200%, 300%,400% audio settings. Whatever that means, however, the 400% does seem louder.

    transfer photos from camera to nexus tablet

    K9, do you have a good fit with the OTG cable, particularly the micro usb fit. If it works at times and then doesn't work maybe the cable is not making good contact. I have read a number of posts where individuals have had bad OTG cables.

    Which USB OTG cable fits perfectly on Nexus 7 32gb

    I find this place is the best for cables, unlike Ebay which is hit or miss whether a cable will work. I always use Monoprice. Their shipping is fast. For only $1.29 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Micro USB OTG Adapter | MHL Adapters No, you can buy just one, not 50.
