I think you would need to manually reselect the ‘Use FLARM GPS’ to ‘Off’ to get EasyVFR to revert to the tablet GPS, so you might be best testing over familiar territory just in case. Worth trying though!

p.s. just noticed the question hasn’t been asked - Is this a 2013 version Nexus 7? We did have a run of connectivity issues with older 2012 Nexus 7s, but these were sorted a while back. If you want to read about them search ‘Nexus 2012’ from the Forum Home Page and let us know if any of it seems relevant (though probably unlikely as yours was running well until recently).
p.p.s. What if anything changed?
Peter, thanks again. In response to your points/queries, in order:
Yes, tried it, it's necessary to manually reselect "Use FLARM GPS" to off.
Nexus purchased in 2014, and has communicated satisfactorily with PAW (until recently), so probably not a 2012 one. I did change WiFi mode from G to B at Lee's suggestion the other day (and because that's what the PAW Operating Instructions say, in spite of your Jan 1 2018 message), but I've just changed it back to G.
What if anything changed? As explained in my original post, after many months of perfect operation I was getting dropouts of communication between PAW and Nexus, which were becoming more frequent and more difficult to reconnect. The PAW continued to give normal audio messages. At first i though it was working perfectly at home (and thought there might be some interference problem in the aircraft environment), but as dropouts grew worse I was getting them at home as well. So I have replaced the wifi dongle. Over 3 hours today at home, I had 2 dropouts of about 15 sec, with automatic reconnection; I haven't had chance to try it in the aircraft yet.
Regards,
Trevor
