I might have spoken too soon. Overall definitely my N7(2012) Wifi is more responsive in 5.1.1 versus 5.1, but it will slow to a crawl again when using Chrome Browser (after opening and closing a few tabs) and when I think background processes are busy. I find that I need to reboot the device every so often (like once a day will be best)

I am thinking of getting the N7(2013) from Amazon before they are all sold out. I love the 7inch format, and I love the stock android experience. I will then use the N7(2012) for simpler tasks like serving as a remote for my audio system, reduce the number of installed apps, and it should be snappy.

I wouldn't recommend using Chrome. Every of Chrome's tab starts a .exe just like computer.

Yup. Dun use Chrome. It's ******* shitty. Even on my Note 3 it laggy but somehow ONLY for Samsung phone, there's a plugin that completely change that, it's fast like anything now. I don't even know why they only have it for Samsung and how come it's not fused into the browser. I'm using Firefox on my N7 and it's fine.

Also, i didn't have FB after i update to lollipop then yesterday i installed it and it lag my N7 a lot even when i'm not using it. I play Clash of Clans also will lag, makes no sense why an app that's not open will cause that. Only thing i can think of is FB is somehow constantly running in the background probably collecting and send your data to their server lol.

confirm got problem le. high chance the charging port giving way. my set also had this problem. u look read back some post i was saying about this problem too. i opened up my set and resit the charging port then ok liao. thinking of buying a new part to have it replaced. really not hard...

edit: just saw you charge using 0.8A charger hehehe. if 2A still same, then hardware problem liao.

I experience also , I using 2A charger and good quality charger cable .. In my case was that the tablet recognize as charging on USB instead of AC which much slower so I unplug and reconnect the cable from the charger 4 times . Only then it recognized as AC charge which charge very fast .

what's the next best tablet after Nexus 7...

the cons are really slow charging and also drain battery in sleep mode...and now with OS upgrade, the whole system also slow down...:(

I suspect is purposely planned obsolescence and designated for the tablet to be useless and bottleneck so that you buy new one . I am not stupid to fall for their trick . Simple flash of cyanogen will breath new life . Say no to planned obsolescence .

I don't experience the slow charging, battery drain yes but i read that someone with 5.1.1 said the battery life is excellent now. In fact, now on 5.1, performance has been way better than Kitkat days.

I updated to official F2FS for N7 and unofficial CM12.1, both 5.1.1.

Very happy with the performance but for my S2, quite a few applications cannot work together. :(

S2? Galaxy S2 you mean? Battery life isn't much better for me though, just slight only.
