I got a new Nexus 7 today. Would like to know if there is any way to transfer apps, data etc from my original Nexus. I would like to keep all the apps, preferences, high scores without having to spend hours setting up my new one.

I bought a 32 GB, Wifi-only model at the beginning of this year, and my mom bought the 3G version around the same time. We both love it, and my mom has brought more of our friends and family into the Nexus 7 flock.

My question is: is it worth the upgrade from the original? If necessary I can wait till your review comes out to read your thoughts. Like Google said, lots of people bought the original, so I think I speak for many people wondering if they should upgrade.

The new version is definitely worth it for those who don't have the older version. For those who do, it really depends on what you want out of a tablet. For example, the new Nexus 7 has many features the old ones doesn't, such as a 1080p screen, much better processor, better GPU, better build quality, and a rear camera. I guess you would have to just look over the complete specs and see if receiving anything on the new one is worth it for you.

Much better gpu and better cpu

Yeah, I can hardly wait to see it in action. Even the old Nexus 7 had better overall performance than my Galaxy tab 2, and now the new Nexus 7 is even better than the older model. It is going to be fun to have a fast tablet again.

THIS!

I had the Nexus 10 and found that the processor had a hard time pushing the high resolution and it just didn't seem as fast as the original N7, have you noticed and lag loading webpages or graphics?

Also, how is the build quality? I returned at least 3 of the original due to poor production and screen lift.

This is easily the fastest device I have ever used. The tablet feels very sturdy and well built.

I used helium from the app store to restore my game data from my s3 to my note 2. Should work on nexus 7 but havent tried.

 

[classypizza]

I see it has the LED notification, but when does it ever go off? Mine hasn't done so for anything. Just wanting to make sure it works. Thanks.

Who makes the flash memory this time round? (knock on wood)

 

[kenyee]

FYI, older cases do *NOT* fit. The new N7 is narrower and slightly taller and thinner and lighter (I'm surprised how much lighter).
I picked up a 16GB one from Staples...they unfortunately don't carry the 32GB one instore...

Cases? I was the first to buy the Nexus 7 at our local Best Buy Today I went back to get a case, they told me the"m edge slim case" would work...Duh it doesn't! Any suggestions? Thanks. By the way the Nexus is great.

If I'm in a place where I don't have wi-fi, can I plug a USB cable into my computer and connect to the Internet that way?

Do I need to install any drivers to access the N7 from my computer when it's connected via USB?

Thanks!
