The Android Nexus 7 tablet comes with Bluetooth 4.0 which includes Low Energy, aka BTLE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_7_(2013))
Interestingly, Lego list BTLE 4.1 and higher as compatible Android device (https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/device-guide/boost). In theory I should not be able to connect with BTLE 4.0 (weird?!)
I have been able to install the Lego Boost application on Android 5.1.1 (Kernel 3.4, BTLE 4.0), but was not able to pass the first couple of pop-up screens in the application. The application requires a successful connection with the Move Hub over BTLE before giving access to the building instructions.
After reviewing the documentation provided with Lego Boost, I found a note related to strong electromagnetic interferences and also a way to reset the Move Hub (main brick).
To reset the brick you need to press the green button on top of the hub and keep in pressed for 10 seconds.
After the reset, I was able to connect to the Move Hub over BTLE 4.0 via my Nexus 7 tablet (and got Frankie the Cat going).
Hope that helps,

After reviewing the documentation provided with Lego Boost, I found a note related to strong electromagnetic interferences and also a way to reset the Move Hub (main brick).
To reset the brick you need to press the green button on top of the hub and keep in pressed for 10 seconds.

I had similar problem with lenovo tab 2 a10-70.
First problem was that BT can not connect to lego boost, because tablet was connected with BT to external loud speaker. I had to disconnect device.
Second problem was that boost denied upload programs until firmware update.
Problem was that BT modul ver 4.0 work with boost, but it is not able to update firmware in the brick. I had to install lego software on newer phone and made update this way.
