so that I can open the app from two different screen locations? How?

I need to ask a few questions - particularly about file management. Where are file copies stored? How are edited files synced with files on SD card ? Is cloud storage a part of Polaris ? Etc

I'd like to move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7 so I can add, delete, edit, view on N7 with Quickoffice (or something else?). Do I simply USB-connect N7 to my PC and copy the folder under SD? I assume that Quickoffice will look for filetypes, display titles...

Every so often when working in one of many apps I perform some (unknown) action and my N7(2013) display slightly increases its magnification and adds a thin blue screen border. Several presses on the return-arrow always returns things back to standard operation. Doesn't happen often, but...

I have some books in EPUB format (no DRM). I'd like to read these on my Nexus 7. How? Is it simply a matter of dragging these into the N7 Download folder and using GooglePlay Books to access these? Seems too easy.

When using my Windows PC I periodically use a "cleaner" (CCleaner, DiskCleaner) to remove temp files and remnants left behind by internet searches, app activity, etc. Is it important to do this for KitKat on Nexus 7? If "yes", what cleaner do you use, and how often?

I've read that every 60 days or so it's a good idea to let the Nexus battery completely discharge before recharging it. Correct? What happens to Nexus hardware, software, and apps when the battery runs down to zero? Auto shut-down? Any harm done?

The time from button-press to "icons on screen" takes about 30 sec. With wifi, gps, bluetooth disabled the time from "icons on screen" to notifications and calendar widget data on screen takes about another 60 sec. Why so long? What can I do to shorten this start-up time? Only about eight...

After 6 months of predictable battery performance my N7 (2013) suddenly requires more frequent charging. Apps at start-up are as expected. App power usage seems normal. Wifi, gps, bluetooth usage are as they always have been. Also, start-up (from power-off) seems slower. Perhaps there is...

Surprised to find that N7 does not come with native support for .MTS (.M2TS) format used in many video cams. Please recommend the best (free) player app that will support this and run well on N7 (2013) under Android 4.4.3 (Kittkat). Thanks

Trying to maxamize performance and minimize battery drain. I see two instances of Google Play Services running full time (even when no wifi connection). Google threatens "bad things" if I delete Play Services, but what is the real consequence of getting ris of these processes that I don't think...

I get my e-mail via Yahoo!Mail. I notice that I'm also getting these messages via Google Mail. Since Yahoo is preferred, I'd like to eliminate Google Mail. (Will this improve battery life and/performance?) What's the easiest way of stopping Google Mail -- remove app, force stop app, do...

Finally received KitKat and (with some trepidation, in view of the many problem reports) installed it on N7 (2013) and N7 (2012). Sort of a "ho-hum" experience. Not much visible difference. Some icon and color changes. Perhaps the real changes are "under the hood". Did not experience any of...

Have not received KK yet, but with all the bad stuff I hear along with the lack of benefits, I might want to delay installation. Right now my N7 (and apps) are working just fine. I'd hate to take a step backwards. How do I delay installation? (As simple as not selecting "Install"?) How can I...

The 110V charger that came with my Nexus 7 (2013) delivers an output of 5.2V at 1.35A. Can I assume that a car charger, with micro-USB connector, that plugs into my cigarette lighter and delivers an output of 5V at 2A will charge my N7 just fine?

Just checked Chrome on my Nexus 7 (2013) and I found that I have dozens of open tabs. Not sure how I accumulated all of these but I'd like to close them without x-ing out each one individually. Could not find an option for this. Seems absurd. Is there an easy way to "close all tabs"?

In the past I've been vocal about random re-boots with my new N7 (2013) - purchased about 3 months ago. Many others have indicated that they experienced the same. Happy to report that with recent updates to N7 this problem has disappeared. Some say that it was a recent Chrome update that fixed...

I have lots of apps on my N7. Wondering how best to treat seldom used apps so as to minimize possible battery drain. cpu performance, N7 start-up time. Should they be (force) stopped, uninstalled until needed, removed from start-up, etc -- or should I just leave them alone?

Anyone know/guess how KK features will be different than JB w/r to N7(2013)?

What does "Wireless Display" do? If not used, is there benefit to turning this Settings option "off" (battery savings, security, etc)?
