I can't get any of my settings to save. If my phone dies or I turn my phone off, rebooting clears all my settings. I have to reset keyboard to swype, resync my FB and redo SyncMyPics.
It's not a deal breaker but it gets annoying having to redo everything whenever my phone is turned off.
Anyone have any answers?

I keep noticing that under accounts, my google account sync options keep turning up on the "off" setting. Meaning I miss gmails, etc. which are normally push notified.
I am pretty sure I've turned it "on" several times already.
Anyone else?
Are you sure you don't use apps like Tasker, or Phone Weaver? You might have told such an app to kill sync.
Nope. None of the above!
I'm wondering if the phone loses connectivity, ICS shuts off account sync. But then connectivity is re-established, maybe it doesn't turn on? Or, not immediately at least.
HAHAHAHA. Wow. Just figured it out.
On the power widget, I thought the circular arrows were for auto-rotate. Which I wanted off.
They are for SYNC.
So yes, sync was randomly turning itself off. Because I turned it off manually.
LOL!
We learn every day!

Thanks! I was wondering why it was doing that on my Nexus 7. In the wi-fi section theres something called a WPS Push button and when i was looking at my shortcuts and saw the sync arrow on I mistook it for the WPS thing and kept pushing it off and then wondering why sync kept going off. Feel silly now.
For some reason every time I've opened up a browser or reader app on my nexus recently, text-to-speech likes to dictate whatever I'm reading to me. I don't have this function turned on.
I haven't changed any settings on my phone recently so not sure why this is happening... is there some way I can turn it off?! I've tried toggling text-to-speech on and off and also doing a soft reset but no luck.
There must be some way to turn it off?
phones main settings, accessibility, and turn off talkback?
I've noticed that my display sometimes doesn't turn off. It'll dim like it's about to turn off, but just stays dimmed. It doesn't do it all the time and I can't seem to figure out why sometimes it doesn't turn off and other times it does.
The tablet is rooted, I'm using Nova launcher, and have Hide Soft Keys installed, though have had problems with Hide Soft Keys disabled too. I have a bunch of other apps already loaded too. So before I start uninstalling everything, was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue?

That's because of the crappy power button. You've got to press it harder.
No. I was referring to the automatic idle turn off after a couple minutes. My screen will dim after 2 minutes (what I have the turn off period set to), but once in a while it never completely turns off and will stay on. I set the tablet down, went to the store, came back and the display was still on in a dimmed, but not off state.

Yes I have noticed this as well. Must be a bug? I have my screen time out set to 2 minutes (default I believe) and i have set it down for over 10 minutes and came back with the screen still on.
I did a factory reset yesterday morning.
First, I was kinda surprised after the factory reset, that after I logged into the device again, I found that some of the files were erased, but not all of them. Usually factory reset wipes everything, even the root. But SuperUser was still installed. And I installed AdAway and confirmed root was still working. My TitantiumBackup folder got wiped, but Kindle folder remained. Not sure why the factory reset seemed to only half work.
However it does seem factory reset might have fixed the problem I was having with the screen not turning off sometimes. When I first setup the Nexus 7 I choose the option to restore from my Google backup and I got all the apps I had installed on my Nexus 4 (my Nexus 4 seems fine with those apps). So this time around after the factory reset I played it safe and did not choose the restore from Google backup option and just manually reinstalled the apps I need for now. And so far so good.
Hi,
I have been using the phone for a bout a month or so, I quite like it apart from few issues.
When I go to sleep (me, not phone) I usually just turn off the wifi so I won't get any online notifications and still get phone calls and text messages. So when I turn the wifi from the slide down menu sometimes the wifi icon flips half way and the phone freezes, I have to hold the power button to switch it off and start again. It happens almost every night, sometimes before I switch off the wifi I clean the apps running in the background and it feels like it improves the situation because I couldn't get it to freeze if I do that. If feels like the the issue is only after the day of usage of the phone, if I switch on/off the wifi after the restart it doesn't freeze. Anyone else has the same issue?
Have you tried wiping the cache partition? For hardware reset/wipe cache partition instructions please see the following: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/

Hi,
recently I started to use bluetooth because I bought a smart watch which requires bluetooth for smart notifications, ... Its been working great, until one day. Every time I didnt use smartwatch, I turned bluetooth off. And one day I tapped the icon to turn it on, and the bluetooth icon stayed pressed for a 5-6 seconds and then it went back white which means, it did not turn on. I tried everything, reboot, safe mod, recovery mode, force stop, ... Nothing worked. Then I did factory reset, which changed everything and bluetooth started to work again, but not for very long. After 2 days, exactly same thing happend and I have no idea what to do. Im pretty sure its a software problem, but no idea how to solve it. Please any ideas??
Thanks a lot.

Found this on another forum... I had the same problem and it got solved by following this.
What you need to do is clear the Bluetooth Share app cache and data, then perform a Network Settings Reset. I'd recommend doing it in that specific order.
First, open App Manager from Settings menu. Then use the three vertical dots on the top right to open the options. Select "Show System". Scroll to the Bluetooth Share app, and open up it's settings. Tap Storage. Tap Clear Cache, wait a moment, the cache will clear to 12.00KB. Now tap Clear Data.
Next, open the main Android settings again. Go to Backup & Reset, then Network Settings Reset. Tap Reset Settings and enter pin, if prompted. Tap Reset Settings one more time.
After that completes, which should be fairly instantly, try to turn on your Bluetooth. It should turn on! Yahoo! Let me know if this works for you!
