A couple of times recently I have gotten a strange notification--and both times, when I was in the same physical location. The notification says it came from "nearby." https://i.imgur.com/y8Pe1Ky.png Checking my notification log showed it came from Google Play Services...

Never had a problem, with a variety of files and players. What is the source of the files? If you have been ripping them yourself, perhaps there is something in your specific settings that trips up the players?

It was worth it to me, principally for the nicer screen and rear-facing camera. Now that I have experienced wireless charging thanks to a $15 ebay purchase, I am loving that too. If money is tight, I don't know that it is worth the upgrade. If you spend hours on the tablet every day or have a...

Man, wish I saw this thread about 60 seconds ago. That article explains some things.

My Moko case arrived and I like it just as much as the Moko on my 2012 N7. It does add some bulk... I'm pretty sensitive to that, always carrying my N7 around, and I don't find it objectionable. If minimal bulk is your #1 goal then yeah, there are better choices. I haven't had any problems...

I REALLY like the hand strap on the Moko Slim Fit, which I had on my 2012 N7. I bought the i-Blason for my 2013 model, because it is the same style as the Moko, but I don't like it as much. The cover won't fold flat which makes the hand strap less useful. Also, the orange color is hideous in...

I have played more demanding files, from a cheap thumb drive, via OTG, with no problems. I would suspect some weird file format issue. Can you transcode it to another format?

I'm on Virgin Mobile. No SIM cards, no foreign phones allowed... but I am grandfathered in at $25. Hard to leave. T-mo prepaid may only be $30/mo but they aggressively shut down tethering unless you buy the add-on--or so I hear.

I'd like to get one but I am trapped with my current phone. It's not a good phone, but the plan is dirt cheap and they let me get away with tethering my N7.

A case with the magnetic sleep/wake feature takes zero extra time to use as compared to a pouch, and protects the screen when I throw the tablet in my bag. It also has a hand strap, making it really easy to hold the tablet with little effort. I've tried it both ways, and for me the auto-sleep...

I just got turned on to Akron mounts, which seem to be cheap and effective. Found them on Amazon.

Subscribed... I have the GPS problem too. I returned a N7 due to the touchscreen problems, got a new one, and did not let it update. My touchscreen seems to be flawless, but my GPS will **** out within a few minutes. I don't know if the first unit had the GPS problem, since I didn't need to...

I have the multitouch problems, and according to the Google support thread, a bunch of other people do too. There is no way to know yet if it is a problem that can be fixed with software. Even if it can be fixed there is no guarantee it will be fixed. I would suggest returning yours for a new...

My N7 also has problems. If touches cross the vertical or horizontal axis, the input goes nuts as you see on the videos. The issue is 100% reproducible but goes away if the tablet is plugged in to the USB charger. I have not noticed much of a difference in touch problems if I hold it in...

I got my orange i-Blason from Amazon yesterday. Mini-review: - The orange color is hideous. It isn't as bright as it looks in the photos. There's a bit of a brown tint. It looks like a dirty pumpkin. - As far as fit and build quality it seems to be as good as the Moko case on my 1st gen Nexus...
