Had Enough. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am totally stock and never done nothing to this bloody thing, done the update yesterday, andddddd it still takes about 30 seconds to turn on and it is still dropping the Internet connection. Let me ask you something, if you bought a brand new car, took it home and from then on it takes over 30 seconds to start it and while driving the engine cuts out now and again, what would you do.

I would join a support forum and whine about it. That always solves the problem.

I would first make an intellectually dishonest analogy. Totally.
Seriously, this takes the prize for the most unrealistic and unreasonable complaint of the month. The audacity of a consumer electronics device taking a mind-numbing 30 seconds to boot into the operating system. It should be as instantaneous as simply applying 12vdc to a starter motor despite the fact that booting an operating system is nothing like starting a car.

30 second boot time is decent. Mine takes like 90 seconds on a fresh install, stupid PA 3.0 screwed my filesystem over

First, a car & a tablet are two different things. Second, it takes my N7 OVER 30 seconds to boot. So what's the big fuss?

Rma and get another n7. Sounds like its defective

30 second boot time is normal. Mine has always booted in 30 seconds and I don't have a lot of apps on there, and the device itself is extremely quick.
It's only 30 seconds. Find something valid to complain about.
Also if your routers reception is poor, it's not the tablets fault. Mine doesn't get a good signal from my bedroom because my router is in the living room. One thing I don't do about this situation is come to XDA and complain about it. Why? Because I am not 12 years old.

Why not stop acting like an 8 year old princess. Life will be better.

Maybe your unit is defective, or maybe you should stop thinking everything is perfect, you choose.

Try changing the channel on your router, that helped me with dropped signals(just don't turn off the tablet and then you don't have to worry about the 30 seconds)

Random reboots anyone else?

I'm having some random reboots, they are hot reboots not full. Anyone else having the same problem? I'm completely stock and no rogue apps that I'm aware of. It has happened a few times last 20 mins while browsing on xda app. Thanks

Must either be bad silicone, or a bad rogue app... You can try a factory reset and try again! Also this needs to be in the Q&A section, this is not a general topic.
I had it reboot after I took a picture, then I swiped to left to see the picture while in camera mode. Zoomed in on the picture, heard some screeching sounds (probably from auto focus of camera?) and then it rebooted.
I hasn't tried to reproduce it, but I do hear the screeching once in a while if I go into picture view from camera mode.
I have had random reboots with my nexus 7 on 4.2, so I think it's more of a software issue than anything else.

I've just had one full reboot when watching a you tube clip. Nothing to worry about unless it happens frequently. I haven't owned a phone that hasn't rebooted or frozen at some point.

I've had about 4 restarts since getting it yesterday. Also happens on my Nexus 7. Thinking it may be an app on my google account but my Nexus 4 is pretty much stock.. Not sure what it is.
Have gotten it on the nexus 7 once but not on the nexus 4.
It is just 4.2 bugs supposedly. I am sure it will be fixed.

I have random reboots. As of yesterday, my phone rebooted 3 times. This morning I woke up, luckily before my alarm normally goes off, and notices my phone screen was on, but nothing was actually on the screen. I pressed the power button a few times and nothing happened. I unplugged the phone from the charger, tried it again, and notice the screen flicker, and then reboot. This morning it's already rebooted once.
Most of the time I was in Google Play Store, so I cleared the cache and data, and let it update to the newest version, so hopefully that fixes it. I sure hope I don't have a lemon. I really hope that the phone acting weird doesn't happen again, I can't afford to miss my alarm going off.
Mine has turned off on me twice since I got it. I think I was using bluetooth both times, but I can't be sure. Anyways, the Galaxy Nexus had issues like this when it first came out and the new Windows Phones have rebooting issues as well. I think Google rushed Android 4.2 out, but I'm sure everything will be stable after another OTA or two. That's the worst and best part about having a Nexus. You get brand new software first, so you sometimes feel like a beta tester, but you also get the fixes extremely quickly.
Glad I'm not the only one having random reboots. My n4 has rebooted twice this morning (within 2hrs). One hot and one cold.

Same happened to me today but i wasnt able to recreate issue.
I heard some screeching sound and then screen frozen and there it rebooted.
But after that i tryed to take pictures and i heard that screeching again but it not rebooted.
This was my frist time that Nexus 4 rebooted.
So
Software or Hardware issue?
I didn't have a reboot but shut off. First time yesterday and had the phone since Nov 20th. It wouldn't turn back on, not even charge .. Took maybe 30mins then it turned on. I was just texting, put the phone down.. Screen shutoff, wanted to text again and nothing. I have it unlocked and rooted only.. Stock everything.

4.2.2 just random rebooted
My nexus 4 now on 4.2.2 just randomly rebooted for the 1st time.
I 'm dissapointed. Waited for this OTA for a couple months now for it to just fix this issue and it's still here? :/
I just can't be angry at the device cause i 'm absolutely in love with it. Best device ever made and 4.2.1 (and 4.2.2) are amazingly consistent and stable, but for this issue.
pff just hope that we don't have to wait till KLP for this to be worked out.

[Q] google sync loss

hi, the problem with my nexus 4 is the next: If I leave the nexus for 20 minutes blocked (to enter into deep sleep) when unlocking the screen, the connection becomes gray for several seconds (gtalk is disconnected) and then turns blue. Is this normal?
up!
Welcome to the nexus 4, annoying isn't it.

It happens to me sometimes. But not when I am in a area with high signal. Try flashing a radio that works for you maybe it will help your problem.
Good luck
So this is normal? many users say nexus 4 have also noticed that leaving the device at rest 20 minutes total, to unlock the signal went from blue to gray and within seconds came again blue.
I ordered another device and both had the same behavior

Here's your answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930

It's the same issue as I linked only on your end its the mobile data that conflict, probably due to provider.
You should wait for the next update and see if it gets fixed.
Meanwhile you can try sims from other providers or different wifif networks to see if the issue persists everywhere.
I think i answered you in a spanish forum
Anyways, have you tried this?

My data is really horrible

I'm in Houston Texas on T-Mobile.
It seems it takes a long time to connext to something. Web browsing is ok and instagram takes forever to load pics. I have full bars when this is happening and sometimes on 3g and sometimes on hspa.
I am wondering if the phone is defective or the service is that ****ty
I used to be on tmobile went to Verizon and came back to tmobile.
Vz is way more expensive but now I see why.

Have you tried tmobiles LTE here in Htown? It is better than decent. Ive been using it since they flipped the switch and I must say that the last couple of weeks has been kinda wonky... Hopefully they are just trying to work out the bugs.
Likely the network is clogged. It happens on verizon too like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-VVwPqhXw
Actually, I have a similar issue where if I don't use data for like ten seconds and I try to use it, there's a long delay (long enough to cause a loss of connection on the game Word feud) in which it comes back after like 5-10 seconds. I think that's called latency? I'm not sure and wanted to know if there's a way to fix that lag. Thanks in advance.

Its gotten progressively worse here by the reliant. Its worse than edge speeds even though I'll have full bars. Its annoying to have to carry around my VZW hotspot all the time. It didn't used to be this bad. Maybe its the influx of new iPhone users. Grrrr

[Q] Use n7 as home phone

I plan on using my n7 as my home phone, i will also attach a speaker to it so that it is loud enough to be heard throughout my home.
I have a question to anyone that uses their n7 heavily throughout the day, have u run into any issues by leaving your n7 powered on for more than 6-8 hours? like i said i plan on using it as my home phone, and it will be powered on for a long period of time and, it will mostly be on stand by. screen off with wifi on and talkatone in the background awaiting any important phone calls.
any positive inputs would be appreciated
I leave my n7 on all the time with the Wi-Fi and GPS radios always on and have hardly any issues.
If l realize that I have not rebooted it in several days, I'll reboot it - though I honestly don't remember ever needing to reboot it other than when messing with the recovery, or installing a kernel.
While it's setting there with the screen off with Wi-Fi and GPS on it seems to only use 1 to maybe 2 percent of the battery per hour.

Is your smart-cover kind of... stupid?

Like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sGNwF_G16s
Mine was and at first I blamed the case. But it does it with every case. So i was thinking of returning it. But then I got this email from Poetic(i had slammed them on Amazon with a one star rating). It said:
We would also like to inform you that if you face any issue regarding wake up function mostly when you open the case we request you to please check your WIFI Connection (to make sure you are successfully connected to WIFI). If your WIFI connection is disabled or not connected to WIFI Successfully, then your device won’t wake up all the times. This is not the issue of the case itself.

I tried turning my WIFI on and connecting, but it did not help. Then I tried with it off. Same problem. Now I am thinking I really need to return this thing, only to find out my friends does the same exact thing. So what the hell? Are they all doing this? Most? Only a few? I really do not want to return if all of them are gonna do it, and it would seem a software issue in that case. But if mines got hardware problems I really should return it.
My case has been working fine.

Hate to say it but if you are on stock, I think the device crashes and does not power on with the cover anymore. I had that issue when I was on stock.
I've since moved to CM10.2 nightlies and the cover turns on the device every single time. No issues here.
Also, with CM10.2, no more random reboots. You owe it to yourself to get off of stock.
There definitely is an issue with having wifi on and no access point around w/r/t magnetic on
I've seen this on a couple of units
Here are the symptoms with my cover:
* It never fails to put my tab to sleep.
* With wifi off, it rarely wakes up my tab. With wifi on, it wakes up the tab quite often... unless the Tab went to a deep sleep.
* When plugged in (PC or charger), it works beautifully, wifi on or off.
So it's hard to point the finger to Poetic.
There are plenty of people who don't have any issue.
I have replacement coming from the Amazon seller, so will see.
Open your case and WAIT...
so far mine always turns on... BUT it may be delayed by 10-15 seconds.
(by that time most of us have closed/re-opened the case a few times).
Mine works like a charm, I cycle through every Locket ad in like 30 seconds using my cover lol
Mine fails perhaps 20% of the time. It can't be a cover issue though, because the cover is constant.
Just tested my Moko ultra slim case on CM kanged and it turns on and off like a champ. Quick and no delay. No reboots either. So for me it was a software issue.
For you, flash CM and see if it is. If you still have the problem on CM then exchange it.

Mine works fine with CM10.2 as long as WiFi is always on. If WiFi is set to turn off when sleeping it will not turn on after 15-20 minutes.

Sometimes it will wake up after a delay (20-30 seconds) and sometimes it will just sit there until I press the power button. My first gen N7 never had this problem. I really don't want to let my WiFi run 24/7 just so my tablet will wake up.

WiFi seems to use very little power. I average about 10 hours of screen on time per charge.

I'm using the MoKo case and do not have any problems with the case not waking the device when opened. I must say though I did not purchase the case for this feature. The case construction is good, it fits the device perfectly and looks.well in place, and provides protection for the screen. For those reasons I am satisfied with it.
Just got a poetic replacement case, no improvement.
But (at this point) I think it's a tablet issue. If google knows they will fix it later, just like some people having multi-touch issue.
Even with my WiFi off, on CM, its perfect. Tested with WiFi off, even waited like 5 minutes and tested again with no issues. Probably a rom issue. Is this on stock with the latest version?

Mine is stock rooted, latest version, with a Moko case. If it sits idle for more than a few minutes, it will rarely turn on when the cover is opened. With short idle times, it will wake consistently. I may try CM eventually but, for now, I think I may just flash the Bulletproof kernel and enable the double tap to wake feature.
