Absolutely. I'm amazed at the patience shown on this forum when people ask questions that either could be answered by a quick google search or fall into the "is this a good tablet" category.

what an useful thread this has been.

If you search the forums you'll find that almost nothing is 100% fixed. I'd recommend Apple for you.

Have you test-driven a 7" tablet? I really like mine, but while it's infinitely easier to do web browsing than on a phone, it's a far cry from a 10" tablet. Before buying something you can't return (and buying used is almost certainly going to be that), make sure you can live with the 7" form...

At home (old, heavy brick apt building, and I'm one floor from the top (and in NYC so tall buildings around) I get very poor GPS. At work (cheap, flimsy building with only the attic above me) I get terrific GPS.

Don't you see? The government rays have gotten to you and you don't even know it.

Hello. This seems like a straightforward question, but I've not maanged to figure it out: I am assuming that if I update from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 then I'll need to unlock and root my 7 again. Is this true? Thanks.

Right, if you want to use Stickmount, you'll have to root your 7. I also had hoped to be able to do this because I didn't want to root the 7 (if just because I didn't do it when new and I had lots of stuff on it) and unlocking it wipes everything out. If you do decide to unlock and root, I'd...

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I believe (meaning I've never found a way) that you cannot. I have a couple of kindles and a 7, and while both the devices and the app allow a wide range of font sizes when reading books, for things like browsing the kindle store, they both seem to use small text...

Get the 32G if you can spend the $50. I got 32G only because I wanted the ATT cell version and there was no choice. I thought it was a waste because I *knew* I'd never want to put movies or music on it. I was wrong on both counts, but didn't realize it until I had it. As for streaming, the...

Maybe the reflection thing seems appropriate, but it wasn't there the first several weeks. And perhaps something happened as a function of rooting, but it sure seems unlikely. And if that's the case, I'll just live with it or get another clock. I can't imagine unrooting to fix this. Perhaps I...

I've had my 7 about six weeks. Early on I started using the Animated Analog Clock from DNS Project because it's 2x2 and I liked the look. At some point in the last week the display has changed. There's now a sort of white-ish circular area covering some of the top, sort of like the intersection...

I have both an N7 and a Paperwhite, and while I really like both very much, there's no way for me that the N7 can replace the PW for extended reading. I had a Kindle keyboard and I might have said in that case that maybe just the N7 would do. But the way the PW does the lighting is terrific. And...

As you probably know by now, replacing the Nexus 7 battery is very easy and it's now pretty easy to find both the batteries and youtube illustrations.

How much free space do you have on your device? I'm wondering because the obvious answer to the sleep problem would be to see if it persists in 4.2, and the fact that you keep trying to let it upgrade and it won't makes me wonder if there's a space problem. If space isn't the problem, then you...
