Nexus 7 2013 questions - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So I'm looking to buy the new nexus 7 but I was wondering if the new one had the same problem as the old where it got slower over time and with more memory used.
And is there any good dock like the old had with the official pogo pin dock?

No, that was a problem with a certain function, called fstrim being missing from the other version, this version has no such deficit.

N7 2013 has no pogo pins, but Asus came out with a nice dock recently, it comes in wired and wireless: http://www.talkandroid.com/197906-asus-releases-wireless-and-wired-docks-for-nexus-7-2013/

NFC Tag writing: How are you going to use it?

So now that Axiom 2.5 supports NFC tag writing, I ordered several tags(from Tag stand) and have written a few. Pretty neat...I wrote one for my car dock (which doesn't supper the docking features of the Nexus) that puts it in car mode, turns on Bluetooth, connects to my car audio, and turns off wifi.
I'd like to hear what you all plan to do with them. Ideas? I'm a geek without much creativity, so let's help each other out!

Did you put it in your dock? If so, how does it behave if the phone is constantly next to the tag? I am going to make one for the same purpose...just not sure where to put it.

Hello,
Is it the New Nexus 7 released in 2013?
If yes, I am not even aware it is available yet although I did read in the news that a man from China got it by mistake while shipping it from USA.
Do not tell me that you are that guy
Well, if you have the old model, Nexus 7 2012, then you have posted this in the wrong thread.
If you have the new Nexus 7, It depends that you can run custom roms or not. No one has seen the binaries or flash images for the New Nexus 7 so I can not say it might work or not. You might have to take the risk if you still want to try.
Also, I think unless LTE is integrated with some system files, you will be cool to go and not be able to use communications but that is still highly unlikely because from the old Nexus 7 LTE model, I know the source binaries were quite different.
You can even hard brick your device.
My advice, enjoy the LTE till it is official.
I work for a mobile company in the UK. So I have a final test one. A nexus 2013 LTE.

Any word on a release date?
Can you make a nandroid of that rom beforehand and upload it?
(I would recommend against using TWRP for the moment as it has a lot of issues with nandroids, there seem to be a working CWM at the moment)

Probably never will make any voice calls, they so far go on overlaid 3g networks due to lots of upgrades required in the backhaul. Voip, ie. CSipSimple, is the way to go. And you will need a headset.
The Phone App is in the filesystem but doesn't show in the ui.
I'm hoping this will be different as it uses a different chip than the nexus 7 3g(2012)
The 2013 N7 LTE should be using a APQ8064-1AA + MDM9615A + WTR1605L,
which is very similar to the APQ8064 + MDM9615A + WTR1605L on the N4.
While it might be (hypothetically) possible for it to do so in hardware, it could still be disabled.
Both the N4 and 2013 N7's wifi/bt chips also support fm radio at the silicon level, but it's disabled at the chip level.
The LTE on the N4 is disabled at the firmware level (as the lte mod is due to leftover code, if it were not for that it doesnt have LTE period)
It could have voice calls disabled at the silicon level, chip level, firmware level, or rom level, since they can easily spec modems that have broken voice call support since it's not used in the first place.

If your read the thread you would have found that he got it because he was a tester or something. He posted proof that it was legit.

The old Nexus 7 didn't support Slimport or MHL.
MHL and Slimport are two competing standards (incompatible between them) to deliver HDMI video via the micro USB connector. First gen Nexus 7 did not have any of them (so no video out whatsoever). Nexus 7-2 implements Slimport (looks like Google chose this side). Many smartphones support MHL (the other standard). Your MHL adapter will not work on Nexus 7-2 or Nexus 4.

Does the Startech.com SLMPT2HD Slimport adapter work with the Nexus 7 FHD?

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying the Startech.com SLMPT2HD Slimport adapter for connecting my dad's Nexus 7 2nd gen to his HD tv screen via HDMI.
I know that theoretically this should work but I also read that some of the available adapters don't work (well) in practice.
Can anyone on these forums confirm that the SLMPT2HD actually works with the new Nexus 7?
Thanks a bunch,
ries
Well, for anyone interested, I found out that it works fine according to a video review on Amazon.

I'd be interested in seeing that review. I have this adapter, works fine on my Nexus 4 but does nothing on my 2013 Nexus 7.

I just bought this adapter and was able to test it today.
The adapter doesn't work for me either :crying:
I have an MHL adapter that I tried with my GNex to test out the HDMI cable and that's fine so I don't know why it wouldn't work.
The only thing I could think of is maybe my TV's don't support 1080p60 coming out of the device??? I don't really buy into that though as both my TV's say they do support that.

Sorry, can't post any links yet. Google for "Startech.com SLMPT2HD Slimport adapter amazon" and you will find the Amazon page with 1 customer review accompanied with a video review. The guy in the video mentions he is using the adapter with a Nexus 7.

I sent an email to the Amazon vendor who told me to contact startech. That was two days ago and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm going to return the adapter if I don't hear anything today.

I also contacted Startech.com and got a quick and friendly reply that didn't help me much:
The SLMPT2HD adapter is designed to work with any device that are MyDP enabled.* The adapter has been tested on a number of phones and tablets I just can't speak to this specific one.* If there was known*issues with the Google/Asus Nexus 7 (2013) we most likely wouldn't have released it.

The response I got early this morning
Thank you for your inquiry!
There is no specific configuration of our SLMPT2HD required for functionality, it works as an external signal format converter.
have you confirmed with the documentation for your device that it utilizes a Slimport, and the steps required to enable external monitor output on that device?
have you tested our SLMPT2HD with a different model output device?
If you have any further questions, please contact us.

Yep... I wouldn't recommend buying this. I have to pay to return it, and they won't refund the money to me until they've tested it and if they say it isn't defective then no refund. Waste of $30 unless I can figure out how to get it to work on the N7FHD
Can vouch for $29 Analogix Slimport adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWGB6CU/) which I originally bought for the Nexus 4 vs the unknown Startech SLMPT2HD at $39.
The signal level for Slimport on the Nexus7 FHD is very low compared with the Nexus 4 and 5. Most Slimport adapters will not work with the Nexus 7 FHD unless specifically designed for it. Startech.com's SLMPT2HD has been re-worked to be compatible with the Nexus7 FHD low signal levels. The new stock is available now, so any new adapters ordered going forward will work with the Nexus7.

I'm having the same issue here with PAC-Man KK 4.4.4. Dock option in Sound settings is disabled. I'm looking but can't find anything that might help.
