Yes, the apps were from the Play Store. Doing as you suggested worked fine though, cleared the cache and tried again and off they went. Cheers for that.

I was away from a wifi signal for a few days, took my 7 with me for reading from the book reader app. In notifications, I noticed it telling me some apps had updates, which baffles me as not being connected, I have no idea how it knew. Obviously something going on I don't know about. Anyway, by...

HI, I'm trying to customise my home screen and have an idea of how I want it to look, a mixture of wood and glass. I already have a suitable wallpaper that looks like planks of finished wood, but what I'd like to do is sit an overlay on it that looks like a sheet of glass with a polished metal...

Thanks for the input everyone. I did hear of a JB app called Celeste Bluetooth which, I've been lead to believe overcomes the restraints Apple build in to their devices, but I haven't spoken with anyone who's used it? I am beginning to think though, that srkmagnus may have the right of it. If I...

Hope this is the correct board. I have the Nexus 7, but for now, I'm stuck with an iphone 4 running iOS 6.1. I successfully JB'd it today, for, among other reasons, so I can transfer photographs from the phone to the tablet, do the editing on the bigger screen, then hopefully transfer back again...

I started using it recently and find it's okay. I do have one question though. I use a task killer to get rid of unnecessary apps from memory. Unless I'm looking to move some files, this would include Airdroid. The task killer does its thing okay, then five seconds later, I hear a notification...

Newbie here, I need some help with something that's driving me crazy. I've been looking at different ways of personalising my Nexus 7 and wallpaper is my first thing. I'm seeing some nice examples from other peoples tablets, with links to the wp, great. So I have it on my tablet, I long press my...

I saw on the Lifehacker site, that Savvy Apps have just released an Android version of Agenda. I used this on my iphone and liked it a lot. I opened up the app store on my Nexus, did a search, but nothing. Lifehacker is a US based site and I wondered if maybe the Play Store had a US and a UK...

Thanks for the response guys. I have a cable and I think I'll just stick with it. As MJKearney says, it gives a little bit flexibility and shock absorbtion.

a question came into my head today, so I thought I'd ask. I got the OTG cable the other day, along with the Media Importer app, and am very happy with it, for taking extra music and movies when I'm on the road. My question is, why a cable? Couldn't they just make an adapter plug type thing, mini...

I've had my Nexus 7 for over a week now, and just today, I'm reading about Google giving new owners ?15 credit in the Play Store. I've also seen mention of a free copy of the forth Bourne book, and one of the Transformer movies. There was no mention of any of this in the paperwork that came in...

As the ttle implies, I have both an iphone and a nexus 7. I'd like to be able to take shots on the phone, bluetooth it over to the nexus for review and editing on the bigger screen, then bluetooth back over for uploading, when I'm out and about. I can't seem to get the phone to see the nexus...

Thanks guys, your answers make me more confident about getting the tablet. The other thing your answers made me realise is that I can use the tablet as extra storage when I'm out and about with my camera. I have a Sony Nex 5N and a couple of 8Gb SD cards, which I can easily fill and then some...

I'm new to both the Nexus 7 and Android, so new in fact, I don't even have it yet, it's coming Friday (9th Nov). Anyways, it's a 16 Gb model I'm getting. For my normal needs, and budget, that's fine. Once in a blue moon however, I could be away from home for a day or two. Am I understanding the...
