Hi Folks

I have a Nexus 7 (2012 model) 32GB version. Anyone care to guess how long before the updates fill up the memory and make it useless?

    Updates go into the update cache, separate to the main memory and is automatically managed. It can also be cleared manually using a specific procedure.

    The problem the N7 has, is that Asus used a cheap low bandwidth memory controller and if you fill more than half the user memory, it gradually starts to grind to a halt.
