Just wondering if anybody else is having this issue. Only thing I've noticed is that it stays connected longer while plugged in to the charger that comes with the phone.
When im over home or at a friends house or driving I noticed the same that it connects shortly then drops. When connected i have full signal bars too.
Could it be a power issue. ..I do not have the power saving features turned on but still could something be keeping the 4g connection from staying active even when not in use???

No the LTE signal is probably faint so it connect for a second and then disconnects. And the signal bars are for voice coverage not LTE.

Bro and sis, is there a way to make sure whether i am connected via wifi or 3g? Cuz my 3g dataplan is not unlimited.
Thanks.
Hold the power button down until the device option screen pops up, the same screen that turns it off. You'll see a Data network mode. Select that so that it shows Data network mode deactivated. Now 3g is off for sure.

you can also use widget or personally go to setting to turn off 3g
but somehow, every time my wifi is on, 3g is automatically off
u wont see the symbol on notification bar anymore
thanks bros, nice method.
I've had issues with wifi randomly dropping. Some times I wont notice and the 3g handles my traffic even though I don't want it to due to only getting the 1gb plan. With fully deactivating the 3g data I know when I drop my wifi and am ensured that I've turned my tab into a wifi only device.

The tab uses wifi first when available, and puts the cellular modem to sleep.
I was driving home and noticed that my phone showed it was still connected to wifi at office.
Had to toggle wifi off/on to get connected to 3g
Has anyone experienced this?

i got my 3g nexus 7 a week ago and its been fantastic. thee is, however, a minor annoyance that im curious if anyone else has experienced
i usually cut the mobile data off when using it on wifi, and ive noticed after long periods of inactivity, the mobile data will turn itself back on.
is this a known issue? im running completely stock at this point.
Just put it on airplane mode than turn on WiFi.... That way you're sure that mobile connectivity is disabled.

I do the same thing. You'll see the WiFi icon and the airplane icon both on the status bar. Without airplane mode, the cellular modem will still be on and connected to the cellular network all the time. If you have WiFi available, you're wasting battery power on the unused cellular connection. Also if the WiFi turns off to conserve power, it may start using the cellular data. That is not good if you have a limited data plan.
I've posted a question before asking if anyone knew how to create a widget to toggle the cellular radio on and off and received no response.
I generally do use airplane mode when on WiFi, but it was one of those little quirks I noticed and was wondering if it was happening to anyone else
As for a toggle widget for the 3g, I use power toggles. It seems to work, but I've wondered I'd that is actually the culprit. I could get rid of it and see, but it's such a minor issue ATM

Hey all,
I just received my Nexus 7. I'm having trouble with getting connected. I can connect to the router fine, and the WiFi indicator turns blue, but I can't access the internet or occasionally will be able to load a tiny bit of data and then it stops.
I've been able to get a little better access by choosing a static IP instead of DHCP, but it's still "choppy." For instance using the Speedtest.net app I'll get a burst of data, then it flat lines. Burst, nothing, burst, nothing, etc. Chrome will sometimes load a page and sometimes it will time out. GMail has been syncing very slowly, every once in a while populating some more conversations.
I've tried my GNex at the same time and have no issues, as well as on my PC, so it's not an issue with my ISP.
Any ideas what I can check? I hope I didn't get a defective unit. I ordered from newegg and I don't know how they work with returns and exchanges.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
How close to the router is your nexus?

Fairly close. I show 2 "bars" of connection and in the WiFi panel in the settings it says the connection strength is "good."
Try moving right next to the router and let us know if the problem persists.

Issue persisted even when a few feet away from the router. However, performing a factory reset on the Nexus and power cycling the router seems to have remedied all the issues. I can connect via DHCP, browse the web just fine, and am able to get consistent data on speedtest.net at 20+Mbps.
Everything is working great now, this thing is awesome!
Glad to hear it!

I keep noticing that when I bring my phone out of sleep mode that it takes a while for wifi to re-connect. Sometimes it doesn't even show a network signal either.
If I leave 'keep wifi on during sleep' switched on will this run my battery down quicker?

Being connected to WiFi uses less battery than being connected to a 3G network I think (depending on your signal)
It shouldn't make much difference if you make sure to turn off your WiFi when your not connected to a WiFi network.
