"You want it to run as fast as possible before Lollipop update" Oh boy. Famous last words. Lollipop killed all performance.
The disk performance is pretty low and often maxed out while operating apps😂……
The max speed of it is only around 20~30 MB/s😅
Damn, that thing traveled the world with me back in '12 - '13.
If anyone's doing this on Lollipop, everything is the same EXCEPT that when you reach the "No command" screen YOU NEED TO PRESS THE POWER BUTTON FIRST AND THEN THE VOL UP KEY FOR 2-3 SECS and then let go of both. Cheers.

great tip...brought my "bricked" nexus 7 back to life. thank you for the video. it's not as fast as yours but I can use it again and that's a huge plus
It worked faster afterwards for a short time then reverted right back to being super slow again and not usable. THE PROBLEM IS GOOGLE. If you don't use the majority of those apps and want the table fast reset it to factory. Then follow the instructions and start over, when it is complete open about table and check apps, and you'll probably see none. Download what you want and I also included Kaspersky anti virus for android . Most of what Google apps there are will be outdated, just update the ones you want, then have only Google Play and Google Play services. After you get what you want from Google play then force stop both play and services, and do not allow any more unused Google apps to install on the table. Google will automatically update and install apps if you don't keep those two apps forced off. The tablet will then run very fast, I ended up with Ring alarm, Kaspersky anti virus, Chrome, UA-cam, and Google Play and Google Play Services that I stopped after use to prevent updating and app installs, those were all I needed. now the Nexus 7 table runs as fast as my new one.
Table?
@@9852323 They mean tablet
@@Gemdation no really? Captain obvious over here.
@@9852323 "Table?"
@@Gemdation They said table. Which I found amusing.
2020 and your guide is still very useful! :) Thank you! This device is very old now, but as a media controller (e.g. Chromecast) it's excellent, now! Thank you so much! :)
Thank you! I followed your suggestions and now it works much better!
I always come back to this video. Thanks for speeding up my Nexus 7 over and over again!
Your welcome buddy. :)
@@EricCarter12 so is there a way to automate this?
@@JR-zw2vb Unfortunately not. You will have to do it manually every time.
Awesome.Was about to buy new one.Now like new.Thank you so much.
ive just brought a nexus 7 but when i try the volume up and power button to get to the last bit, it doesnt work for me, it just turns the tablet on instead, what am i doing wrong?
cant seem to get to that point, when I hold down the power/vol up nothing happens
when I release vol up it just turns itself back on
Thank you Eric. My problem was that I could not open the Nexus7 after swiping. It would just have to be swiped over and over again until it "caught".
This fix has fixed my Nexus7! Hooray for you!
Thank you for sharing. Exactly what I needed! Video simple but very informative straight to the point!
Maribelle Howard No problem. I'm glad it worked. Thanks for watching!
Hi! my I can get the wipe partition menu on. Every time I hold the power and volume up bottom it just restarts the tablet. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for the tip, i was ready to chunk it! This worked brilliantly!
why do my nexus5 staying on the "formatting/cache"for so long after I click "wipe cache partition"?
Thank you! I like that you explained what this is supposed to do, and showed the device afterward. I've seen several videos about this, and none of them took the time to explain that. Very reassuring!
I am very glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this! Works like a charm.
Have a like, It worked amazingly well. Not quite ready for lollipop yet but my confidence has grown with the new found speed. Thanks Eric
boyercam Awesome I'm glad it worked! Thanks for watching!
Hello......I was following your directions and was doing good until I got the hold power button and top volume button, for 3 seconds, when I let off the volume button it didn't show me the faint writing on the top left, it just spins tiny colored balls, then I see the word Android and then the tablet is back to the 'lock screen' ! any suggestions ? Thanks !!
Thank you! Now I can get some backup of my PDF files and get an different OS into this tablet
Will this work with my Asus Google Nexus 7 2nd generation ????....... I noticed that the last 2 weeks now after owning it for around 3-4 years it’s been acting slowly and it freezes every few seconds and then plays in regards to when I’m watching videos. There’s way too much lag even when I’m scrolling up and down or swiping. It’s bad !!!!. I checked my updates and it says that my software is currently up to date. It hasn’t had a software update in a long time. I’d say a year or more. Will this same truck be applied to the second generation that I have ?..... also is it because perhaps I caught a virus or someone hacked into my tablet. My iPhone 8 Plus doesn’t do it at all only my tablet.
Although I still have the 5.1.1 version istalled, this trick made my device run a lot better. Thanks a lot!
Hi , I get to 2:16 on your video where the android character with the "No Command" appears, but this fades after one second to leave a blank screen. I re-tried several times with same result.
Worked like a charm! Thank you for the great tip and walkthrough.
No problem. I'm glad it worked. Thanks for watching!
Kitkat 4.4.4 and this tric. Work perfect thx! Nexus 7(2012)
I had the no command problem then my nexus 7 switched off and I haven't been able to start it for some time do you have any suggestions?
Thanks mate for sharing this helpful video.
Worked for me in 2018:
Roll-back to 4.4.4
Wipe Cache
Disable gesturing settings \ Language & inputs \ Keyboards & inputs methods \ Gboard \ gesture typing
Developer tools - disable animations
Currents - disable sync
Disable Google Play updates
Thanks dude!
@@bruh6984 Google play > settings > auto update > disable or close to it
@@bruh6984 Disabling apps from auto updating is all that last step is indicating. Worked for my Nexus.
How do you roll back the software?

Ihave a nexus 7 and a screen came up stating I had to update to contue. It upgraded to android 5.1.1 Now my nexus 7 runs like shit. Is there anything I can do without loosing all my stuff on it?
i did that b4 but i did not go to recovery mode, got (wipe cache partition) in main screen.. didnt help, testing yours now and its bit quicker then it was b4, but how to deal with Lolipop 5.1.1 its dammm slooow... :/
On Android 6.0.1 marshmallow, it's the same up to the no command screen where you will hold volume up and power for a few seconds, release volume up, then press it again then release after a second of holding. The menu will appear where you scroll to wipe cache partition, press powder button when you scroll to it and say yes when prompted with the yes or no
Thanks for the info! Just ordered a 2012 Nexus 7 -it's going to be my first Android anything- and I wanted to see what I'm in for. :)
Thank you so much, it works much better than before!
lollypop is absolute crap , I've just done this and its still crap , how has your experience of it been Eric ? , my nexus 7 is bareley useable now even after the bug fix
I have a video coming up soon showing my experiences with the new update.
update on it Eric , after doing a complete erase and reset ( wich took hours ) then a reboot , got up today to find everything is working better than ever before , its like having a brandnew tablet , I was ready to bin it and get a Samsung lol , it only started downloading my apps this afternoon so no need to worry because their all on google play in the "my apps" tab on there :)
thankyou so much for the video!!!this really worked like magic!! i tried it on my motog2 phone and my phone now works like a brand new phone, u saved lots of money by uploading this video thankyou so much!! most useful video on UA-cam. i ll recommend it to others also
+Sudha Gayatri Thanks very much Sudha. I'm glad it worked for you. :)
I pressed power key and volume button together but it started the tablet and didn't go to recovery mode.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 12.1. Does this work for that?
This was a fantastic fix. It cured my freezing Nexus 7 and its now back to new. I was about to give in and buy something new so I am a very happy person.Well done great job.*********
+Paul Hutchinson That's awesome Paul! I hope you enjoy your new tablet!
Which version of Android was on the tablet during this video?
My brain can't quite keep up with the speed of delivery here. I cope better with things that are written down.
GOT NEW BATTERY FOR MY NEXUS 7 STIL WILL NOT CHARGE HELP ME THANKS MERRY
Thanks, great suggestions!
Worked for a day then the calculator and calendar updated so had to do this again. Best thing to do is take your google tablet down the park and use it as a Frisbee
Great video,worked like a charm.
Hi, thanks for the speed up trick, it really helped!
No problem buddy.
Very nice - I will do this!
5 years later and it is in my recommended Prob because I am subbed
Bought the nexus 7 2012 model it updated to 5.1.1 doesnt want to do the speed up prosses?????
My nexus wouldn't update because of all the junk files from previous updates and this cleared up the problems. Thanx so much . Amazing easy fix. I love you. Asus wanted me to pay 180 dollars to help me solve this issue....
just got my nexus 7 2012 . watching this now
Excellent, clear instructions, thank you!
I'm glad to hear that. Thanks. :)
My Nexus 7 2012 had already upgraded to Lollipop so it's still not as fast as it originally was, but this helped a lot. It went from 20 time slower than it originally was (not kidding; apps that used to take 10 seconds to load were needing over 3 minutes!) to only 3 times slower (30 seconds or so for the same apps), so this procedure was a 7x improvement. I'm still going to root this thing and put in a custom ROM soon though...
Thanks dude! Now it works much better!
Thank you! I am running Lollipop 5.1 and it was very very slow on my 2012 Nexus 7, definitely responds better after having done this!
That's awesome. I'm so glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching! Please give the video a thumbs up if you haven't as it really does help.
I will have to try this. My Nexus 7 with Android 5.1 is so slow it is like it froze up.
Thank you! Excellent!
OMG IM SHARING THIS TO ALL MY FRIENDS THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH

Eric doing good jobs for us to know how to reset nexus 7
Thank you for clear and useful information.
+PIX FLIX - Tom Pickard No problem. Thanks for watching!
So this works like a cache clean deluxe for files and data that you normally can't reach with the regular cach clean menu then?
Peter Liljebladh Pretty much. Yeah. Thanks for watching!
When I get to where it says no command I get no menu that I?
Wow, I will try this when I finish replacing the battery, which I'm doing cuz it was so slow to charge and quick to drain. Do you think this would fix the battery issue as well? PS should I be doing this cache wipe on my old Nexus 5 (all devices?) as well? Thanks for the vid!
You should cache wipe it as it will be a bit faster then
Istg it worked so well!! Thanks 🤩🤩
Hmm, My 2012 Nexus has never had any issues and it's now been used daily for the last 6 years. I may have gotten a mutant. LOL!
How? What's the secret?
No secret, it just keeps on working and i keep on using it.
That was epic!
Well done good work And it works. Thanks for the tip
Thank you so much! It worked!
No problem. I'm glad it did. By the way if you could give the video a thumbs up I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
😊
Worked for me in 2019
Thanks you for the info. It was very helpful.
Sportsfan 1798 No problem. Thanks for watching!
Lollipop literally crushed my Nexus I came back to android 4.3 as I remember it worked great back then but still it had some bugs and lags. Then I followed your tutorial and now it works very well. Thanks a lot it really helped! :)
No problem. I'm glad it worked! Thanks for watching! Please give the video a thumbs up as it really does help.
+Barbara Kotarba
Barbara do you mind sharing the steps on downgrading the nexus 7? Please? My nexus is very lag i want to downgrade it to kitkat :(
What is the best update for my 2012 edition as it runs poorly and hardly seems to move,although I can swipe quickly. Everything else is slooooooowwwwww. What is the best update, Lollipop-Jelly bean??? Help, your my last resort before I through it in the bin. Regarding the updates, how do I go about doing this. Please help....
Praise the Lord Jesus! Thanks so much for the tip, your instructions were precise and to the point. Be well Eric.
O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. 4:171 Qur'an.
75. The Messiah [‘Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).
76. Say (O Muhammad  to mankind): “How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or to benefit you? But it is Allah Who is the All-Hearer, All-Knower.”
77. Say (O Muhammad ): “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path.” chapter 5 (75,76,77)
Hi, I thought I'd let you know what Allah says in the qur'an in regards to his messenger peace and blessings be upon him. All the best.
@Damon Tsekos In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Say, “He is God, the One.
2. God, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is nothing comparable to Him.”
@@aburaeese haha crazy dude spotted
How did that lollipop update go? It ruined it, right? Or does this cache clearing trick do the trick and it actually makes it run acceptably fast?
It may be faster than before if you didn’t do that before.
But it won’t return to the best state because the disk performance is not enough for lollipop. It has only 20~30 MB/s read speed……😢
Thank you very much. You help me a lot.
No problem. :)
Thank you!
My 2012 Nexus 7 was soooooo slow after it upgraded to Lollipop, that I haven't used it in a few years. I switched out Messenger and Facebook for Messenger Lite and Facebook Lite, but it still was very slow. Just watched your video and followed instructions and it has brought back some of the speed, so i'm happy. Had been looking at new tablets today because I was so disgusted. I know Lollipop is the problem, but am not techy enough to know how to go back to KitKat, so this will help for now. Thank you, Eric.
No problem buddy. I'm glad it worked. It doesn't work as well as it did when I made this video, even I have noticed that.
Linda, look up.
I love you! You gave my device another life! Thanks! ;)
+merelyme4U I'm glad it worked. Thanks for watching! Please do give the video a thumbs up as it really does help.
thnx Eric
it really works 😊
No problem. Thanks for watching! Please do give the video a thumbs up as it really does help.
thanks very much for your video
That really worked well for mine! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top boy! Brilliant 👍🏼💪🏼😎
hii, which version is the best to run on this nexus model ? mine is still slow after doing exactly what you did. maybe my version is not same as yours ? mine device starts up with flying red, green, yellow and blue dots twist and spin around like a vortex..
not good at these devices.
appreciate if you help.
thx
andrew
+andrew ysk Well first it depends on what phone you have. If you did exactly what I did in this video and your device is STILL slow then it might mean that your device is too old. What phone do you have?
google nexus, quite a few years.. but hardly use it. no phone. just gps wifi bluetooth.
no idea which model.. it just written nexus.. look very much like yours.
Wooooow, it worked, I can feel the difference, thank you very much.
No problem. :) Thanks for watching! Please give the video a thumbs up too as it really does help and I always appreciate it.
Eric Carter I haven't updated my Nexus 7 2012 from the original software it came with, Android 4.1 Jellybean, and it still performs well. Google makes the updates to slow down the Nexus 7 2012 for planned obsolescence but I won't fall for their trap.
its just amazing.
Great video! Thank you so much!
+Jared Swan No problem. Thanks for watching!
2013 version do the same?
¡¡Gran Dios!! Sigue funcionando. Me ha costado un poco pero ha servido. Thanks a lot Eric.
mine's still slow as heck even after doing all this? im on 5.1.1
my nexus is not charging it is not the battery or the charger itself but the charging port do you have a fix?
this always happens when your nexus 7 has drained it's battery to 0.
try this: www.droid-life.com/2012/12/27/fix-nexus-7-refusing-to-charge-try-this-trick/, needs a little getting used to.
I watched another video, turn off location didn't work. Your video worked, thank you for sharing. It's much faster now. I thought I have to donate this tablet. It was so slow and I barely have anything on my tablet. I told my friend, I hate the new update, made my tablet so slow that I stopped using it and got myself an mini iPad.
FYI, the power back on does not work, it just boots back up after holding the buttons for three seconds. Tried many times, still wont get to that menu to clear cache.
As you've pointed out, that's what happens when successive update caches bog down the original hardware - my N7 is still on JB and running cyanogenmod and its still as fast as the day I got it.
Worked Great!!!
How do i get the lollipop software
Does it work on Nexus 9???
How long will this work? I flash downgraded back to kit Kat so don't want to update unless it for sure works
Lisa Cole Even though 5.1 runs better on this device than 5.0 I would still recommend that you stick with KitKat as the device will run much smoother than it does with the latest update. Thanks for watching!
Eric Carter so should I upgrade my nexus 7 " 2012 3g version " to KitKat or JB is better ?? It has only 1 GB ram
Oh ok thank you. Also google just released their next upgrade is supposed to fix the problems for nexus 7 1st gen. Here's hoping it actually works!
Hey, thanks a lot, dude, my Nexus is currently on 5.1.1., i.e. Lollipop and it's dead slow, so just the wipe cache partition will speed it up?
Yes it will.
I have read that Lollipop is too slow on Nexus 7 first gen. I would recommend to install Cyanogen Mod on it. The 10.2 version, unless you really need 5.1 - then go for Cynanogen 12.
Thank you for your response, but I could easily flash an older faster ROM using Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh. Rolled it back to 4.4.4 build, now my tab is fast like a bunny.
worked great thanks so much. in 2017
U should review the nexus 7 on lollipop
I just got a refurbished 2012 N7. This sure helped clean up Google earth, as it was slow as a slug, thanks!
Pearl B Mccoy No problem. I'm glad it worked. Thanks for watching! If you liked the video please give it at thumbs up as it really does help.
Just bought a used N7 2012 in good condition, I think this tablet is still better than most budget tablets nowadays.
I'll probably run it with Stock Android Kitkat (not Lollipop) or Slimrom
