    nexus 7 wont connect to public wifi... please help?!

    I had the same problem, I installed Wi-Fi fixer from the play store, and someone else told me that it was Chrome that was the problem and using Dolphin Browser instead would fix it so I installed that as well and now I can connect to any open network easily. I don't know if it's the wifi fixer...

    Nexus 7: Cannot connect to free public wifi network that requires a sign in/login page?

    Re: Cannot connect to free public wifi network that requires a sign in/login page? Thank you so much for posting this, at last an easy fix that works, I just installed Dolphin and like you tried to go to a random website and the sign in page appeared immediately. That's what always used to...

    Nexus 7: Cannot connect to free public wifi network that requires a sign in/login page?

    Re: Cannot connect to free public wifi network that requires a sign in/login page? I've been having exactly the same problem for the last couple of weeks, I've mentioned it on a couple of threads on here but nobody has come up with anything that works, please, please let me know if you find a fix.

    Nexus 7 reset

    I haven't had to reset myself but am pretty sure I read on here a while ago that you need to connect the Nexus 7 to your PC or laptop via the USB cable and then reset. Maybe worth doing a search on here for resetting.

    wireless icon keeps gray while connected

    Yes I do, but without being able to connect to the internet I can't open the appropriate web browser, as I said I haven't had any problems before this just started a few days ago. I'm not sure what to do now, I'm going out tomorrow to a place where I've always been able to connect before so...

    wireless icon keeps gray while connected

    Sorry, I don't really understand what you did. I assume you went into 'settings' then 'wifi' then did you just select the wifi network you were getting a signal from? What IP address did you put in? and what did you change the DNS1 to? Sorry if I'm being a bit dim, but this was driving me mad...

    wireless icon keeps gray while connected

    I had exactly the same problem yesterday, I've had my N7 since September, never had a problem and then yesterday it just would not connect to any wifi signals when I was out, the icon just stayed grey, I tried turning wifi on and off, turned the Nexus on and off, etc but nothing, as soon as I...

    [Closed] Nexus 7-a-day giveaway - Dec. 22

    My friends partner has just been killed in a freak accident, my thoughts and wishes go to everyone who has lost a loved one this year, I know it shouldn't really make a difference but it just seems so much worse this close to Christmas. Love and hugs to all who cannot enjoy the festive season...

    [Closed] Nexus 7-a-day giveaway - Dec. 21

    The one and only android I've bought is my nexus 7 8gb I absolutely love it, I couldn't really afford it and couldn't afford a 16gb, a 32gb would be so much better so I could have films, music and bigger games. I would love to win but as I never won anything I'm not holding out much hope!

    Is the Nexus 7 right for someone.. Not so technical?

    You don't mention how old your mum is, but from a middle aged extremely non technical woman (I have never had any kind of smart phone, tablet etc.) I can tell you that I absolutely love my nexus 7, I use the kindle app a lot for my books, I'm in the UK and use BBC iPlayer and sky go for watching...

    Shortlist of good Video Players that WORK with 4.2.1?

    I use Dice Player, I had to load it the day 4.2 came in because MX player didn't work for a few days, Dice player works well and it has a volume boost up to 400% which is a big help.

    strange battery behaviour

    Here you go I had saved the post Flash & BBC iPlayer Working on Nexus 7 - xda-developers All I did was install the Flash apk and the BBC iPlayer apk, I have also downloaded the BBC media player from the play store and it works fine but that is probably because I've already got the old workaround...

    strange battery behaviour

    I just downloaded the apk files that someone posted on the xda developers forum. I'm not rooted and not technically minded, they just put two links which I just had to download and its worked ever since (that was in September). I think the new BBC media player works on the nexus 7 doesn't it?
