10 Things to Know About the Nexus 7 Marshmallow Update
There Are Nexus 7 Marshmallow Problems | |||||||||||
 | |||||||||||
Before you blindly install the Nexus 7 Marshmallow update, know that there are Marshmallow problems plaguing Nexus users. The Nexus 7 2013 update still isn't widespread but we're already starting to see and hear complaints from tablet users. Android 6.0 problems include issues with apps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, installation, and more. For now, these problems are isolated but we expect complaints to pick up as the update hits more Nexus 7 users around the world. This is precisely why we recommend prepping your device (and your brain) for the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. | |||||||||||

This article is uninformative and vaguely written. Complete waste of time

I’d like to know exactly why Marshmallow ISN’T going to be available for the 2012 Nexus 7. I bought this device (two, actually) precisely because I felt that Google would support them for a long time, and because they didn’t suffer from the forks/bloatware/other nonsense that proprietary vendors built in to their devices. It just doesn’t seem to me like 3 or 4 years is a “long time.” I’m now out of the picture for Google. I probably won’t return.

In which case you’re out of the picture for ALL mobile devices – Apple support their products for 4 years, Google for 4, BB for 3, Microsoft for 5, so if you think 3-4 years is not a “long time”, then you’re going to cut off every mobile OS
If you think about it, considering the price compared to things like the iPad, getting around 4 years support for 1/2 the price is an AMAZING deal, especially considering that some manufacturers only support for 2 years!
Since you consider 4 years support is too short, I expect that you’ll never buy a smart phone, never buy a tablet and never buy a desktop computer!

Google has never supported any device for 4 years – neither has Microsoft for their non-Intel devices. Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) are the longest supported devices – 2 years – and t’s doubtful they will get the next update. Google has promised 24mos of support i believe.

The problem isn’t that they’re not supporting 2012 as much as that they rolled out a half baked version of lollipop rendering a number of nexus 7’s useless and then dropped support for Marshmallow leaving people with semi functioning slabs, and no way to fix them.

C’mon, uncle9, you’ve GOT to be kidding!!!
Three years IS a long time in the tech world………..YOU KNOW THAT!
If you OWNED a Gen 1 (2012) you know very well they never operated on much more than KitKat with any REAL degree of satisfaction.One gb of RAM just doesn’t cut it for working ANYBODY’S current OS these days……….admit it…………now that you think about it!?!?!?!!?

Will the Nexus tablets get an update soon? It seems like better hardware is available. I just got a Nexus 6p and love it. If I needed another tablet soon, I would not buy a 3 year old tablet, can we get some new hardware please?

I ordered the Nexus 7 (2012) before it was being shipped. It lagged, touch screen froze or didn’t respond at all. I am a forgiving soul who didn’t think that Google would take advantage of me and a software update would fix all. Then came the 2013 hardware release, without a mea culpa to 2012 owners with software not compatible with my 2012 version. The Android 6.0 on my M8 is a work in progress, the Win10 on the desktop is not bad and I like the Chrome OS on my laptop. But, not enabling Nexus 7 (2012) early adopters to have the quality experience I have enjoyed on Google platforms over the past 10+/- year is a shame. I am disappointed that I cannot move beyond this paperweight Nexus 7 (2012). Anyone have any ideas other than a competitor’s tablet within my price point.

Yeah, Ron, I’m afraid I have to say…………”Grow up, buddy! Smell the coffee! They’re not in it for YOU. They’re in it for the money”………which, in English, means, the more/bigger websites that can operate on a given OS……..the more/bigger ads that can be placed on said website.

As lolly pop was quite a problem on Nexus 7 devices with them crashing all of the time that Google would correct that issue by allowing Nexus 2012 owners the latest upgdade

Putting Marshmallow onto a 2012 Nexus 7 would actually decrease performance and run slow as hell with all kinds of performance based issues as MM is optimised for newer devices with more RAM and quicker CPUs. The 2012 version of the N7 has fairly poor specs compared to the 2013 N7 and even compared with modern budget tablets available now new with decent quad core CPU’s and 2-4GB of RAM for not much money. Any tech from 2012 is now effectively past its life span and redundant for anything more than basic use, in this day and age where mobile devices/tablets/laptops and netbooks with decent specs cost so little compared with 4+ years ago and are only designed for full support for 2-3 years (4 years on higher end and flagship devices).
No doubt owners of the 2013 Nexus 7 and other similar age devices will soon be complaining that Android v7 Nougat wont be available for them as standard OTA updates…
