    Something strange happened yesterday with Google Play Books?

    Yesterday evening I went for dinner at my favorite little retaruant and as usual, took the N7 with me to read while at dinner. In the middle of reading, I was suddenly faced with a blank white page. I tried to go backwards and forward with no luck, so I went all the way back to home and started...

    Tethering?

    Could someone tell me what "tethering" is, why to do it and also how to do it? I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone with Verizon, data plan but no texting.

    Best deal so far!

    Well, I just ordered my third 32GB. I bought one for myself, one for my Grandson and then this came along. The best deal of them all.

    Screen lift?

    I suppose that this is a dumb question, but what is screen lift exactly? Can anyone post a picture of what it looks like? I've seen so many threads about it, I'm wondering if my two units either one have that problem and I just don't know it. I've looked them over and don't see any problem with...

    Software reccomendation needed.

    First, a little back ground. A few years back I purchased some software that converted DVD's, both home made and commercial, to WMV format for viewing on small units like the defunct "Dremeo" and the iPac PDA's. It still works well, but is no longer sold nor supported. I have bunches of movies...

    Where do I put my videos on the Nexus 7?

    I have a bunch of DVD's that I've converted to WMV format to watch on small devices. With my 8GB unit, I down loaded and installed Nexus Media Importer and had the videos on an external thumb drive. That worked great but having the drive hanging off the unit was a pain. I've tried loading a...

    Ok, I did it anyway.

    A week ago today, I decided that I didn't need to upgrade my 8G to the new 32GB unit. Last night, I couldn't stand it and ordered the 32GB from Staples. Need it or not, I'll have it in a few days. I plan on giving the 8GB unit to someone and would like to know if doing a reset on it will remove...

    Why should I upgrade from my Nexus 7 8GB?

    I've only had the 8GB model a couple of weeks or so, but I love it. I already had the Galaxy S3 phone so the learning curve wasn't too steep for this old man. I ordered a 16GB 7 but then learned of the coming release of the 32GB model so I returned the 16 for a refund. Now, I'm wondering why...

    Kindle App problem

    If this isn't the right place to ask this question, please forgive me and direct me to the proper sub-forum. I'm having a problem with the Kindle App and I don't know if it's a problem with the app or the tablet. It shows all my books but when I try to read one, instead of opening the book, I...

    Help using thumb drive?

    I'm hoping to get some help with something I'd like to try with my Nexus. I've had a program for several years that coverts DVD's to WMV format. I used it it convert movies to view on my old PDA's and it works pretty well. I've loaded the coverted movie, The Green Mile, on to my Nexus and it...

    A couple of newbie questions

    First question is, what use is the Nav app that comes on the Nexus 7? As long as I have wifi available, it seems to work like a champ (playing with it at home) but as soon as I'm out of wifi range, nothing. What use is it in a vehicle when you're traveling? I also tried to find and uninstall it...

    New Nexus 7 owner

    Hi, I'm brand new to the Nexus 7 and also to this forum, so forgive me if this has been covered before. I'd like to know how to add my AOL e-maill account to the Nexus 7 so that I have access to it away from home. I have it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, but it was done for me by the tech guy...
