Hello, I just received the new 2013 Nexus 7 in the mail today. After setting it up, I was shocked at just how slow the internet speeds are, YouTube can't even run and even the smallest apps can't finish downloading. I tried to update to 4.4 but that didn't help either. I would really like to know if this is a software or wireless issue, or if I might need to return it, because right now the thing is just unusable.
Hmm... you'd have to ask in the forum for that device.

I have ever since I got my Nexus 7 I have also have this problem with my Transformer Prime where i try to download something but 99 percent of the time it fails, so I have to go down in the download app and hit retry repeatedly until it downloads correctly
Does anyone know a 6 to this or is it just me
Does anyone know a fix to this

Have you tried this on different wifi networks? It sounds like your connection is probably not reliable.

go to the devices main setting, apps, all, download manager.. now delete the data. now go ahead and download something, this should fix it.
If you close download manager and browser in the multitask/ app switcher thing it fails

sounds like your home internet connection, do you have the same problems at other locations?
Yes I run 50 mb/s home and tether from sprint

Switching to WEP may solve it
I'd really like to help but i don't have much time right now. But i can give you something to start.
1. I'm not sure but N7 may not have all wi-fi modes because of production costs. Wi-fi b/g is there but no a/n. Maybe it has something to do with this. Your router could be broadcasting on a or n or something. Actually i'm not good at this. I'm just trying to give you some leads.
2. Setting your wi-fi password to WPA could cause some problems on some devices, not only N7. I've seen it on laptops, phones, some unimportant wi-fi enabled devices. Maybe if you could set it to WEP, your download problems could be solved. I don't have a N7 but my download problems solved everytime i switched to WEP.
after updating to 4.2 my wifi download and browsing speed has become very slow.. can anybody help me with it please?

Also slow on my Nexus 7
After using the flash loader located here on my Nexus 7 16gb, my wifi speeds have also ground to a halt (<1kbps).
Of possible note is my system is encrypted, which required me to sideload the included zip that contains the Supersu.apk and such. Don't think it matters, but you never know.
*Update*
I had the opportunity to mess with the tablet more at lunch. It looks like it's only Google's App store that's download inordinately slow. Web browsing is unaffected as far as my 15 minute checkout at Chick-fil-a can determine. Odd. Perhaps the issue is all on Google's end?
I have no sim for my Nexus 4. I tether to my VZW Galaxy Nexus. However, it seems I'm being throttled. While connected I run speed test. It starts slow then jumps up to normal speeds.. 20mbs. When I download or get on the web my speed is very slow. To download a 120mb file takes at least 30 min.
When using my works WiFi, speeds are normal. Downloads are as they should be. It's something to do with the hotspot. I've searched for another thread with this issue and can't find any answers.
I've also tethered my Nexus 7 and laptop to my Galaxy Nexus and speeds are normal. This only happens with the Nexus 4. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated... Sorry to add another thread in this maze.

Man, I just can't find a fix for this. Been through many different ROMs on both phones, searched the net and settings and can find no answer. I put an active att sim card in to no avail. Such an odd situation. Unfortunately this is my only access to speeds above .5 mbs at home. Again, any ideas would be great.

I'm seeing the same results. I'm using a LTE xoom as a hotspot, and getting terrible speeds on the N4. Other devices, including the Galaxy Nexus, are all doing fine.
Why would you buy a Nexus 4 only to connect to a Verizon hotspot????

Who said I bought it? It's the only way to get wifi at work. Cant get AT&T or T-mobile signals in the building
I have unlimited data on VZW and LTE everywhere I go. However, at my home, no one offers home internet besides satellite. I get much better speeds on VZW hotspot.
I love nexus devices. I wanted the nexus 4. So I bought one. Luckily however impractical, I can afford all this. T-Mobile and att have no service at my home, so getting rid of VZW isn't an option.
I do now have att and T-Mobile plans. Having an active Sim didn't make a difference. I didn't think it would but I held out hope Lol.

I am having a similar issue with my Nexus 4 (with Tmobile Sim) connecting to my Hotspot on my Thunderbolt (Verizon). When connected to my hotspot, my download speeds are stuck around .5 mbps but upload speeds are normal. The Nexus 4 has no issues at all when connecting to my wifi at home or at work, and other devices connected to my Hotspot have no issues. My friend who has his Nexus 4 flashed to CM 10 (also with TMo sim) has no issues when connected to his hotspot on his Note 2 (Verizon).
Ok so I am trying to tether my N 10 on stock 4.4 to my N4 which is on stock 4.4 as well. I've been doing this for months with no problem. Now all of a sudden the dreaded TMO hotspot block coming up after I updated one or both of the devices. Does anyone know anyway to get around this?
This might be better in the nexus 4 thread since that's where the data actually comes from so someone from there might be able to help better. I don't use tethering much but maybe you can try one of the tethering hotspot apps?

Possibly but from what I understand tmo blocks it server side these days therefore something on the N10 will have to be changed

Hi,
Ive just bought a brand new Nexus 10 and its doing really wierd things.
After updating to Android 4.4.4 i kept getting kicked off and the device would go to the lock screen. Additionally the screen would do strange things when running Chrome like going totally black with a white ring in the center of the screen.
Also text doesnt seem to display properly at times; i have now downgraded back to version 4.2 which seems to have got some stability back howver text is still broken on occassion.... See attached.
Its really odd as i have a Nexus 7 mkII which ultra stable.
Could this be hw related or simply is the rom simply this buggy?
Thanks for any ideas.

Ok so I updated to 4.3 and the machine seems to be stable minus the occasional logout when opening Chrome.... However text still has problems displaying; also as with Android 4.2 it seems the wifi kept disconnecting every few minutes. Since the AP being used was the spare wifi card in my Linux HTPC it migt have something to do with the Intel Centrino card at the other end. I have a spare 3com AP which I will try and if not I also have a spare Cisco wireless router which I can also hookup.....
Other then that I dont know???

Have you tried a complete wipe (flashing the factory image and doing a data wipe/factory reset afterwards)? Not sure if that's what you did when you downgraded. I would think a 100% fresh start would help.
Yep I did... Sorry if wasnt clear. I even reformatted the partitions.....
I think what bothers me the most is the incomplete text...... When downgrading I got the stock rom from Google directly.
Also something funky is the screen seems to slightly flicker when running the Plex app. This could just be an app thing though as everything else is fine.

Boy. This is a real head scratcher. I've never heard of this before. It would be one thing if the screen was static, which would usually indicate a loose ribbon connection. Since you've already successfully flashed the factory image, I don't think it would be software related. But I can't think of any hardware issue that would cause this either.

Ok good news.... Using my spare Cisco wireless router I got stability on the wifi
I'm just thinking that maybe the issue could be something to do with the graphics chip??
Of course if I dont need to i really dont want to but if it isnt a software bug and the issue is hw related perhaps I should just contact the place where I bought it and get it replaced???

Hi,
It is really bugging me, quite a weird issue. I believe it can be surely a defective unit, after all you flashed a stock ROM wiping completely and problems still persists.
I recommend you contacting the place you bought it. Hope you can get a replacement .
