Suggestions wanted...
I am quickly falling out of love with my Nexus 7. The 2012 model was great. But the 2013,that I've only had since July,is driving me over the edge. I posted about problems with the touch screen back in December.

It's steadily gotten worse in spite of me following some of the suggestions that *may*solve the problem...including soft reset,and uninstalling some recent apps.
So maybe a new one is on the cards...preferably with a larger screen than my current 7" one.

Same as me Mazie.
This may help explain it, OG.

"RAM or "Random Access Memory," is the special memory where the data is stored temporarily. The user’s photos, apps, and videos are kept in the internal storage permanently, but when these files are requested by the user it is the RAM that goes into action. After the power is turned off on the device, what is stored in the RAM is deleted...........

The internal memory is where the apps, documents, and other files can be stored and is different than RAM..........For example, some models of the Galaxy tablets claim to have 16GB of storage, but actually they have 12 GB of usable storage..... For instance a 16GB tablet can store approximately 9,000 photos, 3,500 songs, or 20 hours of video......"

Presumably the Nexus 7 must have a drive of some sort to store data/programmes on. What I'm saying is that claiming a device is 32G should refer to RAM. When I checked it seems to refer to ROM. I don't think that this is honest.
If I can store 28GB of documents, vidoes, photos, music, apps etc (which I can) on my 32GB device I don't care what the storage is called
If they are referring to the drive size they should make that clear. It seems a bit of a coincidence that the ROM is the size that they claim in the item name.
They just call it storage, which is what it is.

I don't think it is at all relevant to the OP's problems.
Perhaps not but I started with a single observation that suggests one has to be careful and it turned into a debate.
