GPS for real? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the N7 have genuine GPS or is the positioning just done by using wireless?

Its a real GPS....to prove it to yourself download GPS status and toolbox.

Maps keeping WiFi on

Hello everyone
I have a little problem with the battery life on my nexus7. Maps is keeping my wifi on which will drain the battery and results in a bad standby battery life.
I attached some screenshots that show up how many hours maps is keeping my wifi on.
Is there any solution to fix this problem or to restrict maps from keeping the wifi on?
Tried smart wifi toggler, but the app didn't turn on the wifi after disabling it.
Thanks for your help

What is your Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep Advanced Setting?
I had the same problem. Just go to settings/location and disable WiFi. If you want you can disable maps app if you don't use it. Settings/applications/maps and force close and disable.

GPS disabled?

Yesterday I noticed that my nexus seemed to be using wi-fi only for location fixes. Yet the GPS option in location services is enabled. The GPS status app along with other GPS apps day the GPS is disabled. I have tried using only GPS and disabling agps, restoring a backup, and even clean flashing after factory reset. Every app seems to believe that GPS is disabled. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I have been having the same problem. I flashed the latest PA, and now my GPS works on directions but not in navigation. And once it jams up in navigation, I have to reboot for it work in directions again.
To what GPS app are you referring?

[Q] Use N7 as a WiFi adapter ?

So I just moved in to a new place and so far I can't find my WiFi adapter for my PC computer.
To make things more of a pain, the router is to far for a cord..
So the question is, how can I use my Nexus 7 as a WiFi adopter for my computer? Can it even be done?
