    Is it true this model slows down in processing power over time. And does a OTG cable work on this to connect a usb flash drive.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2013 - 15:31

      My launch Nexus 7 still works as it did back then and I also have a el cheapo OTG from eBay that works fine with USB drives

    • cainn on 17/09/2013 - 15:34

      It's the IO performance that can slow down over time. It's fundamentally a memory management issue, and Android 4.3 provides a fix for all Nexus devices.

      • Alzori on 17/09/2013 - 15:38
        +2

        Can confirm this. My N7 slowed down a decent bit since I got it, though after installing 4.3 it's quite snappy again.

      • LolwutMikka on 17/09/2013 - 16:59

        +1 for this as well, although it was still extremely slow on 4.3. Not sure if it was because I installed custom roms over stock, but installing LagFix (root required) definitely fixed everything

    • salem on 17/09/2013 - 15:34

      Not processing power, but flash storage fragmentation and issues with unused areas being unreallocatable slowed them down over the last year. However, Android 4.3 introduced TRIM support which fixes those issues, so people's 2012 Nexus 7's have been springing back to life.

      • francis.tks on 17/09/2013 - 18:32

        I thought flash drives do not have fragmentation problems? But guess I know too little

      • [Deactivated] on 18/09/2013 - 08:39

        Thought the Linux kernel 2.6+ supported trim, guess not on Android?

        • ESEMCE on 18/09/2013 - 11:29

          Supports but not necessarily enabled.
          I know I had to enable it on my desktop running Ubuntu 12.04.

  • Ahan on 17/09/2013 - 15:25

    I was wondering how come they can always get cheap tablets…

    • Moots on 17/09/2013 - 15:28

      They have trade-in schemes. They get them, send them to EB HQ, they fully replace the housing make them look new and resell… Unless these are brand new than I have no idea.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2013 - 15:31

        Surely they can't sell a refurb as "new"?

      • Ahan on 17/09/2013 - 15:59

        That's not right. These are not refurbished.

          Don't know what everyone else got, but mine was definitely 'refurbished' whatever that means according to Ebgames. I called them up and am sending it straight back. It's not right to buy something stated as NEW and then get something with the seal broken, fingerprints on the screen, and animal fur on the USB charger cable.

    This is great tablet, last one I bought was a 16GB refurbished one which looks new anyway. All up I already own 3, everyone in the household has now got one, but I feel like getting another one at this price, maybe for the girlfriend? She's an Apple fanboy, but I am seriously considering of dumping her if she don't convert to Android anytime soon.

  • ddhytz on 17/09/2013 - 15:54

    Does this have a HDMI port?

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 17/09/2013 - 16:05

      No. The newer model supports HDMI out through a SlimPort Micro USB to HDMI adapter, but the 2012 one doesn't.

      • Riczter on 17/09/2013 - 16:08

        Can the old model do AV-out in any way?

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 17/09/2013 - 16:14

          It should be able to do it wirelessly, through DLNA and whatnot (if you have a compatible TV, that is). But no, it doesn't support any wired video-out through the USB port.

        • ESEMCE on 17/09/2013 - 16:23

          Miracast should work

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 17/09/2013 - 16:27

          Last I heard, not even 4.3 gave the 2012 Nexus 7 Miracast functionality. AFAIK, only a few custom ROM's can do it.

  • CyberMurning on 17/09/2013 - 16:46

    differences between this and the 2nd generations?
    also would this much much better than galaxy tab 7.7 (GT-P6810)?

    • salem on 17/09/2013 - 17:10
      +2

      This and galaxy tab 7.7 were neck and neck last year, and depended on what features you wanted most would tip it either way.

      7.7 was slightly bigger, AMOLED screen, SD card slot.

      old nexus 7 i think had better cpu/gpu than 7.7, plus pure android/latest updates.

      Not sure what version of android the 7.7 is on now.

      Old nexus 7 vs new nexus 7: new has heaps higher screen resolution, better cpu/gpu. same android version, both still don't have SD card slots. new one does have slimport hdmi out through the microusb port.

    how miracast works. is there a way to miracast from new nexus 7 2013 or nexus 4 to windows htpc or perhaps android TV stick.

    • ESEMCE on 18/09/2013 - 16:09

      Miracast requires a special dongle or built in support in the Tv/Monitor.

      Chromecast is kinda like Miracast and Cheapcast is an app that emulates Chromecast effectively turning an Android Tv stick into a Chromecast.

      • paulaus on 20/09/2013 - 18:50

        Pretty sure its new it was wrapped like new and to get the inner box out of the outer cover was so hard. I will fiddle more later and if i cant get working it says on receipt i can get a refund at any eb games store.

  • marquise on 24/09/2013 - 07:57

    ok I just received mine. Carefully looked for any signs it was refurbished and didn't see anything definitive. Whilst the clear plastic protecting the glass and back could have been put on a refurb, the unit itself was pretty flawless. No signs of any use on the case, eg. marks, dents, stains etc. Unless of course the outside case is all replaced?

    My unit turned on momentarily, but then switched off due to low battery. I had an existing charger which didn't help charge it, as I recalled the Nexus 7 charger uses a lower amperage/wattage/voltage(?) so using the supplied charger did charge it properly.
