I compared both of them with the devices on my hand. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" is better than the Nexus 7 (2012 Version) However the Nexus 7 (2013 Version) kills the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0" and 8.0" and Nexus 7 (2012 Version) !
Bought a 32gb Nexus 7. Kept it for like a week and returned it. All my electronics at home are by apple. I love iOS. Returned the Nexus 7 and probably gonna buy the iPad mini 2 when that comes out. Its really all preference between Android and iOS. Both are really good.
My best bro is loaning my 80 dollars and with that and my 125 I am going to purchase the Nexus 7. I think it will be a great device for school, web browsing, viewing movies from cloud, etc. As long as I pay him back 10 dollars a week in a month or so I will be paid off and enjoying my tablet
Thanks for the advice. I was having trouble deciding between Ipad mini and Nexus 7. Think Nexus 7 is the answer. Most people on here seem happy with it.
YEP. i was thinking about going for the 32 gig, but seeing that there are ways to use removeable hard drives/flash sticks on the Nexus 7, im picking one up in a few days, perferably the 16 or 8 gig. This video was AMAZINGLY helpful. Thanks for the upload, im so glad i subscribed to you guys.
Hey, I've been a great fan of Android Authority and to have finally come here is a fun trip to be inspired by Nexus 7. Thanks for your handy tips and sense of humor!
Thanks I'm not really computer literate &have being trying to use the card reader without much success. but watching what you did I finnaly got it Meany thanks :-)
downloaded Navfree from the Google play store and now have a Satnav that does not need internet accesss, so without whi fi I now have a worldwide sat-nav on my Nextus 7. Hope you enjoy, PD
It is very easy to change it so that it does change orientation when you rotate it, and in fact, when I got mine, it already did change orientation when I rotated it.
Great tip on how to raise the volume with the volume+ app. I thought my unit was defective. Now the volume level in perfect. I guess Google thinks people are too stupid to turn the volume down. Thank you!
This is an excellent video. There were things I did not know about, Like the screen capture shortcut, that is useful to know. Definitely adding this video to my favorites. Again great video :-)
there is only one flaw with the moko case and that is when you flip the cover all the way over the back camera is blocked but I have this case and I like it
i actually got swype because i wanted to see what it was like. (i recently got fed up with it so i changed back to the default keyboard) when i switched back i realized the the keyboard actually has the swype feature already in it!
Thanks for the screenshot tip! It works for me :-) If it isn't working for you then it may be because you're pressing the volume up button. Remember to press volume Down and the power button together :-)
I just got a nexus 7 for 213 and its great for pdfs mantano is almost as smooth as iBook on ios . and its quick enough for daily task. GPS works as well too but you can't search for restaurants with out WiFi.
I bought my 32gb Nexus 7 from Walmart right after Thanksgiving. After turning it on, it prompted me to update to 4.2.1. And you can get an extended warranty for $20.
Just a little tip: There's no "jailbreaking" an Android device. You can, however, root your device, which is much different, though it would take too long to go into detail about that.
My notification bar it's not equal to the one shown here and it doesn't show the definitions on the side of the clock and no preview of the screenshots.... Maybe I'm missing something....
I have the Nexus 7 2013. I followed your directions for saving the screen. It seemed to work as described. However, I don't know how to access the saved file now. What do I do?
Can you use peripherals through a powered USB hub through the OTG cable, so that the device is being charged at the same time as you use the peripherals (kb & mouse)?
SONY UI lovers can root their sony Xperia devices make an apk back-up of the Sony Home launcher and install on the Nexus 7 2012 regardless of the android version and use the Sony launcher.... but it won't fix the clear all notifications on the lollipop.... as well the small apps won't work but its better than RAM hogging launchers
Thanks so much for this info!! I was so happy to find that I could actually take screenshots!! That was my favourite thing on this video, thanks again :)
Hi my nexus 7 that I got for Christmas is nice but the styles that came with it will not work on it .I have one that I tried on it and it works fine. Do you know what it could be. Please let me know
Power and volume screenshot does not work on my Note 2. I thought it suppose to work on all Android. I find so annoying not have a physical home button. I use my Nexus 7 as a car gps and I have to keep fiddling with the side buttons. My note 2 home button makes all the diff.
Thank you! I am wanting to buy the Nexus 7. Where is the best place for the 32mb and 4g. I went to office depot and the tech guy said they do not offer ones with 4g
What's the version of your Nexus 7? Mine is 4.2.1 and the notification dropdown is separated from the toggles. Swipe down the top left side of the screen u can see notifications and the top right side of the screen opens the toggles.
Thanks for the informative video! Now for a quick question, I was thinking of buying a back-up/portable battery for my nexus and was wondering if any of them would work as long as the usb cable fit, or if the battery has to be rated a certian mah? Thanks for your time.
now there is no need for swype, since with 4.2 Google added the like feature as stock on the keyboard. just start swiping, and there you go! no need to download a separate application.
dude i just bought an OTG cable..and tested...to my surprise the Nexus 7 supports mouse and keyboard without root.....whats disappointing is that the main purpose for which I bought the cable doesn't seem to work..i.e the usb flash drives or pen drives in other words are not supporting..i am using nexus media importer...still...
any tips on reading large pdf files, mine just slows down to a halt, was hoping to use this tablet as a construction plans pdf reader/storage. Tried adobe app, plus some others, it does open from the download app but is so slow, anyway to increase cahe size of apps cause I'm thinking thats the problem thanks
hello AA, here is the case, i got iPad 3 and im planning to buy a nexus 7 because im searching for the problem with nexus 7, do u have any tips that i need to know before i get the nexus 7?my friend say he get a screen lift.. thx alot for response :)
i got the 32 gb for christmas and i charged it as i play it but instead of the battery percentage going up it goes down and now i charge it for like 10-20 min it stays at 0% wat is wrong???
Can someone tell me if the Nexus 7 2012 version is better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0" and 8.0" ?
Its not
I compared both of them with the devices on my hand. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" is better than the Nexus 7 (2012 Version) However the Nexus 7 (2013 Version) kills the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0" and 8.0" and Nexus 7 (2012 Version) !
I believe the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is better. My Nexus 7 keeps breaking.
And I'm posting this on a Nexus 7 :3
And the 2013 version.
That is a really good guide. Especially to those who may have little or no knowledge about Android.
dude the usb thing is such a large advantage I was contemplating to buy this and now I know im getting one!

If google made the bezels on the Nuxus 7 smaller. This would be the perfect 7' tablet. It would be PERFECTION
Thank you! I don't even have a Nexus but I had no idea Keymonk even existed. Thank you for that :D

It is very easy to change it so that it does change orientation when you rotate it, and in fact, when I got mine, it already did change orientation when I rotated it.
i'm looking for tricks before i even have the tablet xD
Same here. Is this for 2013 version
Kofi Reeves-Miller considering the upload date, it's about the first version. (wich i think is the better choice)
Great tip on how to raise the volume with the volume+ app. I thought my unit was defective. Now the volume level in perfect. I guess Google thinks people are too stupid to turn the volume down. Thank you!

Airdroid on Nexus 7,2013.You can write and read to usb pendrives..
great vid and great tips thankyou .. love my nexus 7
i heard that the home screen does not go in landscape mode in another video review

For the USB adapter, can you save other stuff other than pics n music?
thanx..and can I use a mouse or a game controller through the OTG cable...or do I have to root for that ?
Great tips...thanks for all the good advice... I have the nexus 10
Hi my nexus 7 that I got for Christmas is nice but the styles that came with it will not work on it .I have one that I tried on it and it works fine. Do you know what it could be. Please let me know
Got mine last night, it's awesome!
is 720p enough? It can play true 720p, but if you have the money i would highle recommend the nexus 10 (speed, screen, etc.) have fun. ;)
I like apple because of the quality of the products but my nexus 7 is just perfect.

For the O-T-G cable. Does anyone know a store that it can be purchased that NOT online?
OK so my nexus wont take the screen shots and it doesn't have the rotate in the notifications bar its in the other pull out bar?!?!?
@arod jenkins, there is a reply function you know...
best video for nexus 7 good job men

Just received one for my birthday, and I dnt know how to sync music onto it. Help!
Going to buy it for my birthday :)
Thank you! I am wanting to buy the Nexus 7. Where is the best place for the 32mb and 4g. I went to office depot and the tech guy said they do not offer ones with 4g
I have nexus 7 version 4.2.2 I do have the rotation lock in the notification drop down. How can I get this feature?
Is it Christmas yet? AHH I want it NOW!
how could you design the icons different? I looks very nice compared to the original 4.2...
Got the same case, mine is blurex ultraslim from amazon for $15
Does the OTG trick work with bigger external hard drives as well?
What's the version of your Nexus 7? Mine is 4.2.1 and the notification dropdown is separated from the toggles. Swipe down the top left side of the screen u can see notifications and the top right side of the screen opens the toggles.
Thanks for the informative video! Now for a quick question, I was thinking of buying a back-up/portable battery for my nexus and was wondering if any of them would work as long as the usb cable fit, or if the battery has to be rated a certian mah? Thanks for your time.
I got a nexus 7, but now the speakers are making a crackling noise? Can someone help?
My Nexus 7 isn't taking screen shots, how come? And I purchased it before the 32 gigabite model came out. Any help please?
Thanks!
should i buy Nexus7 or Sumsung galaxy tab 2 or Kindle Fire? ( i need a tablet for my studying ) its hard to make a good decision
now there is no need for swype, since with 4.2 Google added the like feature as stock on the keyboard. just start swiping, and there you go! no need to download a separate application.
I'm looking to accept one as a gift.
Awesome. This is very good for new users. More videos like this, please. :)
dude i just bought an OTG cable..and tested...to my surprise the Nexus 7 supports mouse and keyboard without root.....whats disappointing is that the main purpose for which I bought the cable doesn't seem to work..i.e the usb flash drives or pen drives in other words are not supporting..i am using nexus media importer...still...
I'm getting this along with the Galaxy S3
what case is on ur nexus 7 and is it a sleepcover if yes where did u get it and how much
any tips on reading large pdf files, mine just slows down to a halt, was hoping to use this tablet as a construction plans pdf reader/storage.

I just got mine yesterday night for my birthday
8GB discontinued? I just ordered one for a Christmas present..
i got the 32 gb for christmas and i charged it as i play it but instead of the battery percentage going up it goes down and now i charge it for like 10-20 min it stays at 0% wat is wrong???
Which camera launcher apps do you recommend? There are so many in the playstore... ><
planning on getting one is it worth it
Kinda like jailbreaking for ios devices if that is a comparison that you can relate to.
Is there a way to make the sound of the keyboard
louder?
