    Hold back on Android updates?

    I refuse to update to 4.2.x as of now. I will remain on 4.1.3, but I am using the 4.2 bootloader (vsn 4.1.3) because it does solve problems when booting. The multi-user function I don't need, and I have requested from Google an option to "opt out". Not sure if it will happen, but the phone...

    On third Nexus 7...

    Since you apparently got all three from Office Max, I suggest you open the box and check it out before you leave with it. Tell them you want to go through the set up, check the display, memory etc etc. I thinik they'd go along with it without any trouble just to get rid of you, LOL.

    Nexus 7 Bricked !!Bootloader Erased Help!!!!

    Nothing at all? I erased my bootloader and when using vol down and power button I got the the android with a <start> and it would do nothing else. But when I did "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it seemed to come back. Then I reflashed the stock 4.1 zip.

    Nexus 7 Bricked !!Bootloader Erased Help!!!!

    Not necessary if this is rooted. Do you have custom recovery? If so, you can find the bootloader in zip format, copy it to your N7, then flash the zip from CWM or TWRP. Other wise, you made need to do a factory wipe and start from scratch. There is a way to do it from powered off state, I'll...

    best charging method for battery longevity?

    As this article indicates, it's better to not let your battery discharge a significant amount. Those who advocate letting the battery go down to 20% or less are steering you wrong. I keep a charger with me at all times and I never let the battery on the Nexus 7 go below 40%, usually it's on...

    Voice recognition not as good as on my Nexus phone

    Not really. But being a tablet, you have to handle it differently. When you're ready, hold it really close to your face, wait 5 seconds..... Then cluck like a chicken......:D Sorry, that was just slilly,slidy,schticky, whatever.. Gonna go sober up now.:cool:;)
