Nexus 7 2 GPS Problems

In addition to dealing with Android 4.3 bugs, it appears that owners of the new Nexus 7 2tablet from Asus are experiencing major issues with the new tablet’s GPS.

Google’s event in late July produced both a new version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and a new version of the Nexus 7 tablet. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean has been rolling out since late July and users of all shapes and sizes have been reporting a number of issues with the new software including poor battery life, lock ups and more.

Owners of the new Nexus 7 2 are complaining about GPS issues.

It appears that the new Android 4.3 update isn’t the only new Google product that is causing problems either. New Nexus 7 owners appear to be dealing with some major issues of their own.

The Nexus 7 2 has arrived on the scene to replace the original Nexus 7. It brings a higher-resolution display, quad-core processor, 5MP camera, slimmer design, and LTE speeds to the table. It also has brought some major GPS issues along with it as well as new Nexus 7 owners are reportingbroken GPS on their new tablet.

Nexus 7 2 owners are reporting a wide range of issues. Some users say that the GPS will work for several minutes before losing connection and going back into “Searching Mode.” Others are saying that it’s not working at all. We haven’t been able to replicate the issue on our new Nexus 7 so it doesn’t appear to be affecting all Nexus 7 owners but enough that Asus and Google will likely investigate.

Android 4.3 has brought a number of bugs along with it as well.

Owners are reporting that a simple reboot has fixed the issue but others are saying that nothing has worked to remedy the situation, leaving owners frustrated and looking for a fix from Google. It appears that Google is aware of the issue but it’s unclear as to how it will proceed. Whether it will be a brand new Android 4.3 update or something else.

This is a fairly big issue as the Nexus 7 is one of the more portable tablets on the market and users often depend on GPS when using the tablet whilst on-the-go.

Asus’ new Nexus 7 has only been on sale for a few weeks and already, it has garnered stellar reviews from critics, who have proclaimed it a solid replacement to the original Nexus 7.
