After several months, my rooted N7 slowed down. Slower than a Galaxy Nexus. Read many reports that Asus opt for low quality flash memory chips. No fix other than selling it away.

Once a week I ran LagFix which improved the situation a bit. But after few days or sometimes hours, back to square one.

I will avoid all Asus products for now. It is back to Samsung or Sony products. Too bad Tablet Z no 7" version. Sure sell like hot cakes.

yupp..lately i also face the same thing..my N7 start to lag and sometimes kinda annoying..feel cheated by asus sometimes -.-

How come this is possible? The read / write speed became slower or the Mhz become slower for these chips? I'm not a programmer but these digital things shouldn't deteriorate ...?
Is it because there are too many data which the device hold that it causes lag in read / write process?
What happen if you factory reset it?

I know on some devices, once your storage is low (or if you store a lot of data / pictures / videos / esp databases for chat apps) you will experience some lag. However factory reset or purging old or unused data will make things fast again.

Newegg selling N7 32GB Wifi-only RM700 inclusive postage.

Wow good deal, gotta check it out.
I've just been offered a RM799 for 32gb version.. I checked Rm699 is price for most 16gb units.
if add RM1 can get 32GB this may be the one for me then.. drool.gif

QUOTE(bobtahar @ Jul 11 2013, 10:50 AM)
Mine still going smooth... no lag... bought from a guy who bought it from Google at the States about a year ago... 16GB wifi stock 4.2.2 rooted.
*
Stock 4.2.2, impressive.. how do you root? Planning to buy this soon.

QUOTE(davidletterboyz @ Jul 11 2013, 01:33 PM)
There are reports saying it is due to the cheap NAND flash memory that does not have a good controller. If this is true, then I suspect the NAND has a bad garbage collector. The write performance will become significantly slower when the storage is almost full as the controller have lesser choices to write.
Yes. But the bigger the size of the NAND memory, the slower you will get to the point it has bad write performance. But as you store more files into it, in the end the inevitable will still happen.

So it's like data all over the place, bad fragmentation I supposed.. Android doesn't have defrag? I lazy to check Google play.. but if have then it may be the cure for this laggyness hehe.. laugh.gif

Went to Digital Mall today, checked out the 32GB version, selling @ RM1k shakehead.gif what a rip off.. I just tested some browsing. Felt the screen is still small heheh... maybe go visit other places and try try again see if the feeling is right. The Samsung Note 8 on the other hand is so gooding.. the screen size is just right I think. But of course big price tag differ...

Hey guys and gals, check this out

Got a laggy old Nexus 7? Here’s why Android 4.3 will restore its performance.
Has your old Nexus 7 gotten slower over time? Before you toss it in a closet or upgrade to a new model, consider upgrading to Android 4.3 first. It includes a fix for non-optimized flash memory that slowed down your tablet.

Hey guys, I just got myself a Nexus 7 32GB 3G version today.
Then updated it from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 and then to 4.3
Now searching for good Tegra games to install.

So far got myself Beach Buggy Blitz (already running on my S3, graphics wise I think the S3 feels snappier than Nexus), Dead Trigger, Riptide GP, Samurai II Vengeance, Shadowgun.. that Tegra Ball thing like the one showed in their demo.. (note that I already have most of these titles before but on my Xperia Play).

Later gonna see what's more that's worthy to grab.

u do realise this is a tablet not a phone right?

Have a look at XDA, some other tablets does have this feature hidden which the devs have enabled it. Furthermore new tablets have phone functions too. Too bad the Nexus 7 doesn't.

izit nice to use matte?

im using matte on my phone cos i dont like oily screen.
but for nexus7, its ok since the screen quite big. if i apply matte, the screen wont sharp like before. sad.gif
*
I got oily fingers so all of my phones are using matte. I just saw a Nexus 7 with clear screen protector and fingerprints are all over the place (when screen turn off can see). So I'm sticking with matte still. Just get a good one not those cheap stuffs..

The good one will be better. The cheap ones you can see the lights spreading all over like stars.. or something like that. Sharpness will decrease a bit but what to do it's matte smile.gif

Thanks, I got something from lowyat the other day for RM30. Matte but not as good as my S3 matte. I guess this is low or average brand ones.. the S3 I bought straight from Samsung shop. The one I bought at lowyat is okay but after a few hours use can see some fingerprints on it although not much.

I got a question for Android 4.3 guys... how do I share files between accounts? I have 2 accounts currently and whathever I saved / files on the other account is not sharable (not there when I browse using the other account).

If i'm not mistaken is 2GB. Then you sign in, click free GB. You can enable photo, etc to get extra GB. Every friend that you refer will get 500GB. Max is 16GB (for referral).

You can also checkout Google Drive or Skydrive.

You guys are silly recommending dropbox over a local content transfer...
Have you any idea of how many GB I may have to transfer? laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
funny ler adoiiii...

Anyway I found that Android/obb folder is a shared resource amongst all users. You can just park whatever files there and then switch profile to grab it. Note that .apk can't be run straight from this folder, you have to copy it to someplace else before execute.

What is the average battery life and SOT you guys got with the Nexus 7?
I have the 32gb 3g version (but running wifi only), The best I got was 1day life with 4hrs+ SOT. If I use it straight I probably get around 5hrs SOT max. This is on stock 4.3

Is this normal?

For my average use (mostly browsing, some downloading apps, youtubing, a bit of gaming) it should be similar to yours.

Thanks kytz.
Nothing to worry about then. And yes mostly my son uses the Nexus 7 to watch movies and play games. When he is done, then its either my wife going youtube or me doing some heavy browsing with multiple tabs and heavy gaming. Btw, its an excellent device for gaming on the go.

The truth is you are very excited to own the 1st gen Nexus 7.
The price you get for the demo set (RM600) is a good deal. It's a Nexus 7c as well (with 3G SIM capability).
I'd tell you it's a good offer. Just take it.

Many have reported iPad 2 runs smoother in games than the nexus 7 of 2012,you should know that iOS IS smoother than android,this is one of the fact I can't deny,last time I used to deny it and hate apple very much,but in the end,it was the truth
*
That is correct. I am not an apple fan too - but there is nothing wrong in making statement or reports of games that run slow on the new Nexus 7. You made it look like the guy are guilty to made this statement blush.gif

QUOTE(apecx92 @ Aug 25 2013, 09:09 PM)
android is based on bytecode java (java slow to me) and ios native code. maybe thats why it slow, i think so.

in other word, you need to throw more CPU horsepower at a java/android app for it to run as well as a ios. tongue.gif
*
Android has always been under development. With many features that surpasses IOS - there is more IOS catching up to Android than vice versa. Remember project butter that improves Android 4.1 graphical interface to a fluid 60fps? I believe given the time, Android will surpass or match IOS in gaming as well.

But not just yet icon_rolleyes.gif
