Help Nexus 7 2012 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed 2 different Roms and the thing basically becomes useless. I lose the Play store and also lose the keyboard. how do i retain those or are they hidden in the settings menu? I've used Carbon and i forge the other right now.

Pure Nexus with Parrot mod works great for me. No issues at all https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/unofficial-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3243943

Losing ownership of the Nexus Q

Anyone else having this problem? I setup the Q with my nexus 7, no problem at all, can stream everything perfectly and can access all the settings. Once i install the Q app on my GNEX running jellybean i lose owner access on both devices. Only way to get it back is to do a factory reset on the Q and only set it up on the nexus 7 ONLY.

I had exactly this issue the first time I tried to pair both the 7 and the Galaxy Nexus to the Q. After a reset of the Q, I was able to pair both without losing ownership from the 7.
Thanks for your reply, I've tried countless times but still have the issue. Right now I have the nexus 7 paired up with it. I removed the gnex until Google support gets back to me.

I had the exact same problem. I had to reset the device so I set it up first on my GNex and then on the Nexus 7. Well now it's doing the same thing again telling me I'm not the owner on both devices but it still plays fine.
I just reset my Q , uninstalled from both my 7 and gnex. Installed the latest version which was updated today and everything works great now. I am owner on both devices

So my nfc doesn't work??

DON'T RESPOND UNLESS YOU HAVE BOTH NEXUS DEVISES

I have neither device... but if I understand right, you have to have the device's NFC chips right near each other to do this. If this is true, did you do that? (The N7's NFC chip is around the X in Nexus if I heard right).
I haven't gotten mine to work, I'm not sure if its my tablet or phone but I tried it with my phone recently to my moms galaxy nexus and it worked. I know there's sweet spot on the tablet but I've tried everywhere and I can't get it so idk.

Yea same here I know my phone works cause I use Google wallet I got it to work once but it didn't actually transfer

I have the galaxy Nexus with rooted jelly bean and Nexus 7 with stock jelly bean. NFC works flawlessly. Are you tapping it right? The NFC chip is on the battery of the galaxy Nexus, do you have any third party battery that might not have NFC? If you don't, tap where the battery is onto the top back portion of the Nexus 7.

The NFC on the Gnex is on the battery and on the N7 it's around the "X" in "Nexus" on the back. Place them together in these spots and it should work.

I finally got it to work, I think it's where I was placing it I guess, I tried all over before but guess I found the sweet spot.

It's in and above the NEXUS logo. See page 97 in the guide book.

I have two Nexus 7 (one 8gb) and one Nexus Galaxy.
All are stock ROMs as of this posting.
The N7s NFC work between each other flawlessly and effortlessly. No fudging around looking for the NFC.
Neither N7 can do an NFC exchange with the Nexus Galaxy.
Both N7s take a significant amount of futzing around to get the initial NFC buzz and tone. Neither will actually start an NFC transfer to the NG.
Inverse is true.

transfer of files using beam is new to jelly bean. It works fine using a galaxy nexus and a nexus 7 both running jelly bean (I've transferred photos without issue) using Bluetooth and SNEP.

I have both the Gnex and the N7. I was able to transfer a picture from my phone to the tablet using NFC.
from my galaxy s3 to the n7 i get:
NEW TAG COLLECTED- text/directshareerror
from n7 to gs3 more luck. IF the app is not on the phone it sends me to play store, but for photos it keeps saying the gs3 wont accept large files... ITs pretty hit or miss... more miss then hit
good advice

I also own a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7. Like you had said i held my galaxy up to the X on the back of my nexus and it worked. It seems a little touchy, i have to try it a couple time before the "touch to beam" screen comes on. Does anyone know what things Beam is compatible with, ive only been able to beam webpages and google play app pages so far.
Works fine between my Galaxy Nexus and N7. My GNex is on JRO03O , the N7 is stock rooted.
As others have said make sure you put the battery of the phone up to the "Nexus" on the back of the tab it will say touch to beam when you're in the right spot.
When you first unwrap your tablet, there is a rectangle box where they lable NFC behind the tablet, tap that spot, and I do have both devices.

Well i cant use mine. I have the nexus 7 and a gs3.
They find each other, the transfer bar shows up on the galaxy but nothing more. The transfer never really starts and after a while it shows transfer fail.
Weird

New with nexus 10 but.... Apps keep crashing ...

I had a nexus 7 and Asus transformer tf300 and a sold them to buy the nexus 10, nice tablet but this is getting annoying with apps crashing all the time and I did not have that problem with the other ones. I bought this one las Sunday and came with 4.2.2 so my question is a software or hardware problem? I have been looking around and applying different solutions but nothing.
Thank you.

you can make restarts ocure more rarely using one of this variants but they still remains .
try a custom rom also . mr robinsons for example
if the problem persist ... get it back and forget nexus 10

Dang, was hoping for new batch before I RMA
Thanks for quick reply
Same problem here.
I've had the same problem too. All was working fine for around a month, but now I'm finding that apps will crash for no reason. It doesn't have to be when they're being "touched", they'll sometimes just self-destruct with no prompting from myself. A reboot seems to fix it for a while, but the problem seems to come back. Anyone found a solution to this? I'm not keen to install a custom rom as that shouldn't be necessary!
nexus 10 crashing
The same for me, everyday i have to restart it, apps keep crashing all day. I think its the ekynos, my galaxy nexus doesnt behave in that way and i have more apps installed.
I think the problem is related to memory leak. When the apps starts to crash the free memory is running really low, sometimes even below 50mb and all background services are restarting and being killed by system over and over again. A system reboot can fix this until the free memory running low again. Aokp and some other custom roms alleviated this problem, but no one fix it. Maybe Android 4.3 or 5.0 might fix this.

[Q] Advanced Camera Options

On my nexus 4 I have the attached options.
On my girlfriend's nexus 4 she just has three options: scene options, store location and picture size.
I cannot figure out what I did on my phone so I could do the same on my girlfriends nexus 4. Any ideas?
thanks.
I have the latest aokp nightly, franco m3. She also has those flashed too.
What android version exactly?

All I managed to do is press and hold both of the volume keys and then let go to burst shoot 2 pictures since any of the volume keys are triggers.
What have you done before discovering this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
It's 4.2.2.
I upgraded aokp but then again I did on my gfs phone and didn't see it on here

GAPPS unofficial flashes and AOKP. But i do them on both devices.
I use a certain unofficial gapps package by BANKs of the theme section but I have flashed on both phones. Only mine has it. I also backed up the camera and data with titanium. This leads me to believe i'm missing some setting or something.
Just wanted to add. I tried to backup the camera app and data from my nexus 4 with titanium and then restore it on the other nexus 4 to no avail. Does anyone know what else I would need to backup and restore to transfer over the camera settings in the main post?
thanks.

Did you try backing up Gallery to see if it works?, Gallery has a linked activity which is camera.

Were both phones bought together? or one is newer and one is older? I saw same thing when I installed same gapps file on s2 and it came with tonnes option in camera app but nothing on my nexus 4 app. I think older nexus 4's camera hardware doesn't support those software features may be?

I should be supported since the SGS3 does support it while the Nexus 4 is newer hardware and software wise.

I have a white nexus 4 and hers is black. She bought hers a week after I did actually.
I also backed up gallery data and restored on hers and that didn't work either. Would suck if it's a hardware thing.

stock camera has those 3 options. custom roms like slimbean have modified cameras that have more options like ISO among other options.
That's the cyanogenmod camera (not focal). I'm a big fan of that one. It takes pictures much quicker than the stock camera. The only issue though is that flash doesn't work unless you manually tap to focus before taking the picture.
Oh thank you. Do you, or anyone, have the app package? I assume since its working on my aokp setup, that it's possible. Or what file to transfer over from my phone to my girlfriend's? Like I said, I tried the gallery and camera apps already.
I will say that I did cyanogen mod at one point but have factory set numerous times since then.

[Q] Tethering on Stock 4.3 Question

I'm probably going to go back to stock 4.3 from CM 10.2 due to a few small annoyances that are not germane to this question. The one thing that's stopping me, however, is tethering. I'm on T-Mo, $30 pre-paid. With CM 10.2 tethering my Nexus 7 to it just plain works using the integrated tethering app. No need for PDANet, or anything like that. I don't consume that much data with my N7 like that, just for Google Maps and streaming my music in the car now and then. I've got my N7 mounted using a surprisingly good $40 CD-slot mounting bracket in my car and it makes a great GPS and audio center in my car.
So, all that being said, if I revert back to rooted stock, will the small amount of tethering I do with my N7 be transparent to T-Mo, as it appears to be with CM 10.2?
Thanks a bunch!

I might be wrong on this but i am pretty sure T-Mobile can't tell if you are tethering to a Nexus 7. Both show up as mobile devices on their network when they look at traffic and both show up as Androids. When you tether to a laptop, then they can tell because you use a windows version of chrome.
Just an FYI, reverted back to stock/rooted today, LTE enabled on TMo and the above posting is correct. The N7 tethers just fine!
