New Nexus 7 General Discussion Topics (2nd Gen) / neverending upgrade cycle

« on: July 26, 2013, 08:37:50 PM »

Qi charger, new case, dual band router, miracast dongle.

Does the headphone jack support mic input? Tip,ring,ring,ground.
What charging rate can be expected with qi wireless charging?
What throughput with the dual band 2.4 & 5ghz wifi? Over local network.
Apparently, the new n7 will support miracast (finally). Anyone verify this in settings?

Mentions an fm module. Same armored type usb jack as old n7 on a larger daughter board.

Nexus 7 Games / The Room. a puzzle box

« on: April 16, 2013, 06:14:15 PM »

Ever seen the Hellraiser movies? It's not that box, but reminds me of it. The game could be longer but there is an extension update scheduled and possibly a part 2. One of my faves, check it out!

Nexus 7 Connect (MicroUSB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Pogo Pin) / Wifi Throughput

« on: December 08, 2012, 12:15:26 PM »

The nexus 7 has 802.11n/g capability.
Has anyone measured the mbs on an 'n' router? I'm wondering if the nex7 module is dual-band or single.
My router is an old 'g' and I want to upgrade it. Is it true that any 'g' device connected to an 'n' router will drop the whole network to 'g' speeds? My laptop is 'g'.

Nexus 7 Apps / Media Players

« on: December 08, 2012, 05:06:43 AM »

I tested a large number of players for another forum, with these favorites as a result.

1. BS Player -the most tweakable, least stutter, ability to pinch and zoom, and exit to pop-up. Lan access.

2. MX Player -the most supported codecs, including .wtv Lan through ES File explorer.

3. Wondershare -along with it's predecessor, Daroon, the only ones that would play ts_video files using the dvd menu. Lan access. Also has web video links, although they are titled by tv episode and not show.

Unfortunately, wifi throughput is not good enough to play uncompressed dvd and Bluray structure.
Maybe a usb solution can be found?

Nexus 7 Help / rebooting?

« on: December 01, 2012, 08:25:35 AM »

Try uninstalling or disabling HD Widgets, if you have it. Some kind of problem with lock screen and this app. Should clear up with app update soon or 4.2.2 whenever.

Update: it's not only HD Widgets. This is a Google operating system bug. See attached link.

There is an article on Drippler. Google currents problem.

Does your Nexus 7 lag after the 4.2 update? There’s a fix for that http://drippler.com/updates/share/does-your-nexus-7-lag-after-42-update-there-s-fix Via j.mp/getDrippler

Disable Currents or turn auto sync off.

Nexus 7 Help / screen capture resolution

« on: November 21, 2012, 02:13:48 PM »

What do I use to change the screen capture resolution? Gallery doesn't do it. I can't find a default setting. Is there an app? I can't even find any front camera controls. Am I losing what's left of my mind?

Took one grab- 0.96 MB!

Should be 6 threads, sorry.
