New to nexus 7 (gps issue)???? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Just ordered my Nexus 7 with 32gb of internal storage, very excited, then I start reading about many people over on Android Central Forums having all kinds of problems with the GPS. Is this a huge issue or just a problem on certain models say built on Mondays???
Is there a fix?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank You,
Vinny

Haha.... but I have no big ego... I'm just participating in the xda-community....by posting this thread.... these apps I thought were very useful... since I find my self using them all the time!... and though I'd share my top 5 with my fellow N7 owners.... you don't have to use any of them if you don't too... as everyone has their own opinion and is different...

Nice video. Thanks for the suggestions. The only one that makes me scratch my head is the rotation one. Why not just recommend an alternative launcher such as Nova that gives you rotation capability plus a whole lot more?

You want another top 10 on the N7 as well?... kinda redundant to ask it that way... but just want to be certain

Sorry let me be more specific. While googling good apps to download for the Nexus 7 most lists are these and popular android apps that everyone already knows about.. I was hoping to see an extended list with some more apps that may not be on everyone's radar.

Newegg for tablets?

Why does this app show up as incompatible? It's a tablet app it should work!
Anywhere I can just gets the apk to try it out?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Just because it's a tablet app does not automatically equate to compatibility. It could be that the app is dependent on a 10.1" screen or rear camera.
That being said, it seems that the tablet app is far less polished than the mobile app anyway. I wouldn't even bother with it.

Problem with that is apps would get unjust negative reviews from idiots that install apps that aren't compatible with their hardware. Not directing that at you personally... just something that I've seen happen a few too many times.

I agree with the OP in that I would like to see filters replaced by advisements but your point is well taken.
The app developer did not write in the resources for all sizes of devices. Its in a manifest type file that play store reads. The play store does not monitor or control apps or app quality and rather its up to the developer to specify what device its built for.
So short of starting arguments. Email developer of the app. That is the only one who can help.
Good luck.
I did actually, I got a response "we have no information on that item at this time, sorry for the inconvenience".
I know why they filters are in place but it can be annoying. To me a nexus device is the android standard, any application that is relevant should show up in the market, but it doesn't. It's also frustrating in the case of upgrading, like when I upgraded from my aging Samsung Captivate to my HTC Vivid that has twice the power, and yet a fraction of compatibility. I seriously have games that I played on my captivate that won't show for the Vivid. So what your saying is a single core Galaxy S phone with 512mb of ram and an aging power vr sgx540 can play Nova 2 just fine but a Qualcomm Snapdragon s3 with a dual core processor and a gig of ram and an adreno 230 gpu can't? Doesn't make much sense to me.
I am using that as an example but it is a true one. I no longer game on my phone as I use the nexus now but it does seem ridiculous that upgrading to a better phone or tablet can break your compatibility.

And now I got it and yeah it's a bit meh I agree, perhaps labeled as incompatible since it's landscape only, and the nexus 7 is clearly catered to portrait.

Thanks for the hint! Saved me some bucks!:beer:
Yea, nice, but can someone tell me, why did anyone have to pay for that twice?
It seems that every time, there is upgrade, I have to pay again (and not just me, a whole bunch of users complain on that...)
Does it even run smoother than tapatalk 2? I found that laggy a bit.. I just have the original you could say, v2.4.13.. And works great.

This app is not limited to XDA. You can surf many different websites with this app.

Other than being a multi forum app(not that I read any other forum nowadays) the interface looks better. I wouldn't buy at full price, just as I didn't buy version 2, but at a discounted price, I would give it a try

I also found it a bit laggy in comparison to the xda app, I bet it will probably get better over updates

Thanks for the replies both. This is really the only forum I follow daily, I'll probably give Tapatalk a go though anyway.
I bought it on sale and I switched back to the old one. It feels like they went with pretty over functional.
Also, It feels like I'm not on a forum. More like I'm reading nerd Facebook statuses.
lol still running the free beta Tapatalk 4
Bought it just now

how much better is it. I find it hard to pay for something I already bought.. new version should not = pay again..

If you like paranoid android phablet mode you'll be more inclined to like the it. It's not meant for a phone display- and actually it is the replacement for their tablet app. I bought it because it's on sale for the price of a can of pop and maybe I'll get a tablet some day.
i used this entire time the beta, and apparently Tapatalk 4 it still has this bug remain from tapatalk 2
like when you scroll down it sometimes shows thesame block of threads twice.. or messages in threads..
Sometimes in Subscriptions only the threads I subbed to appear, and not the main page for example Nexus 4.
Also not all strings of text are translated which smells like beta.
New UI, same crap. But it's useful enough for me so I use it. Better than using browser for sure.
Love this App. If you are active with many different forums, this is the best app for you.
I hate the new layout. I'm going to keep using the beta version until I can't.
I bought version 2 long ago and I hoped that it would be upgraded so nobody would have to buy it again. I did anyway since it was only a buck but I really am disappointed with it.

Speakers died.

Bought the wifi 5110 model 3 days ago. Had it all set up. stock not rooted. Watching a video on you tube the sound made a popping noise. reboot, factory reset did nothing. Returned it for another one, so hopefully no more problems. Should have stayed with my transformer tf101 hope it was a dud as I'm loving it otherwise. Did anyone else encounter this problem?

I've had my note for almost 2 months now and in that time, I haven't seen anyone mention this issue before. Sounds like you had a dud. The TF101 was actually my first tablet. Loved it, but it was eventually time to move on. I upgraded to the TF300T and had two of those tablets burn up on me. Asus makes a good product, but seems to have alot of quality control issues, also with the transformer prime nightmare. So i jumped ship to the Samsung and got the Note 10.1. That was a great tablet until it was stolen :crying: So I moved on to the Note 8 for better portability and love it.
Glad to hear no issues. Let's hope it was a dud. Thanks for the reassurance.

Also no problems with mine. Have had it about 2 months as well. I went from iPad, tf201, tf700, to the Note 8, and love the Note 8 the most.

New Nexus 7 - Stable ?

Hi Friends,
I need to buy a 7'-8' tablet and being a fan of nexus, started with nexus 7 2013 32GB(22K) vs Samsung tab 3 T311(24K) and budget is ~25K (india)
But could see lot of forums pointing to random issues in new nexus 2013 device. I couldn't see any other helpful place to ask this question apart from XDA friends
Will rooting solve rebooting, hanging, touch issues in nexus 2013 device ? or can you suggest some other stable tablets in 25K range ?
Please putforth your suggestions friends.
PS: I am getting this tablet for my Parents/Brother and I want it to be stable mostly used for skype, heavy gaming and browsing. Thanks in advance
The touch issues have not been solved yet 100%. There are workarounds for it, but nothing that fixes it across the board. I have not had hanging issues, or rebooting at all with mine. Rooting will not solve the touch issues.
My Nexus 7 is stable.

I have a 2013 nexus 7 and have never had any hangingnor reboot issues. It seems that every once in a while I have the touch issues but it seems to get a little better as they update software.... I think it may be a hardware issue but they are just using software work arounds... All in all I love this tablet and wouldn't trade it for any other device. BTW it seems when I have a ROM like cyanogen installed the touch issues seem to disappear....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
What kind of touch issues you're talking about? Does it occurs on every device or random?
Never seen any touch issues on mine. If there are any, it does not affect my use of the tablet. I don't use mine for gaming, so that might be a difference.
