    N5x will PTP, but won't MTP on Win7 PC

    Since new, my N5X would connect fine to my Win7 PC using the PTP function but not MTP. When connected using PTP, then using the drop down USB menu to change to MTP Windows would play the 'something usb just disconnected' sound and my 5x would disappear from My Computer. When I would again...

    Did you buy before the Black Friday Pricing?

    Its not just that they went on sale. Its that they went on sale so quickly after being newly released and at a significant discount. I'm satisfied with my $20 credit since my order was placed on 11/3- not exactly right before the sale. I just wanted to throw it out there for Fi users that...

    Did you buy before the Black Friday Pricing?

    I was pretty disappointed about the huge BF discounts on the 5X just two weeks after buying one and so close to them being released. I contacted Fi about it and although they wouldn't credit the full discounted price, they gave me a $20 credit on my Fi account.

    Transferring Upside Video to PC

    For those who want to transfer 5X video to your PC and it plays upside down, here's how you can rotate your video to play correctly. I'm sure there are many other ways to do this, but this is how I did it. Using Movie Maker (free with Windows) open your video and wait for it to "Prepare your...

    How can I take a screen shot on my Nexus 5x?

    Re: screen shot I've been wondering where the screen shots go. I can take one, I can view it from the pull down menu when it's taken, but once I close it it's not in my photos. Any idea where the screen shots go? Do you have to share it immediately to keep it?

    Nexus 5x Compatible Wired Headsets with inline mic and controls?

    I bought the "Amazon Premium Headphones" for my Nexus 5X and they are compatible. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HX0SRXW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 The volume buttons work for phone, audio, and youtube playback. The center button works to pause audio or video...

    USB OTG

    I ordered two of these from Amazon. They are absurdly inexpensive, both worked great, and others with Nexus7s have also left good reviews. I bought them when they were $1, now they're 65 cents and shipped free. Shipping took about ten days to get to CA (they ship from Hong Kong). Also, they...

    camera in N7, how to use??

    The only app I'd recommend is Skype. I don't see how you shoot pictures when the lens is facing your face.

    Rooting, ROMing, WTH?

    I would totally root yours. I am not not tech savvy either, I've never owned an Android device and the Nexus 7 is my first tablet. My use is pretty much the same as you listed and if watching movies from your own library is what you want to do, root it. It took me about 10 minutes to do using...

    YouTube suddenly wants Flash Player update?

    Since receiving my N7 I've used the full-site YouTube page on Chrome as I don't really like the app's lack of functions. But yesterday a red banner shows up on YT saying I now need A Flash Player update from Adobe. This is weird to see all of the sudden. I've installed the 11.1 flash with...

    Case Logic QTS-107 Hard Case

    I didn't see anything for this Case Logic QTS-107 hard case so it here it is. Case Logic QTS107 on Amazon $16.30 It's for the Kindle Fire but it does fit the N7 perfectly. I wasn't looking for anything in a case other than heavy protection while packed in a bag. This case is VERY well padded...

    How many joined AndroidCentral because of the Nexus7?

    Nice to see all the responses. A lot of "Join Date: July 2012" here, pretty cool. Ever since I pre ordered I'd been lurking on a handful of sites but honestly, they sucked in comparison so I signed up here. I'm not really a forum guy, whatever that may be, but I've been glued to AC since...

    How many joined AndroidCentral because of the Nexus7?

    Unfortunately nowadays you have to distinguish - I loved it when Ayrton drove, I don't pay any attention to Bruno. But yes, yes I am!!!

    Nexus7 vs. iPad (abuse video, not functionality)

    Re: Nexus7 vs. iPad (video) Yah it's hardly fair to drop test two items where one weighs twice as much as the other. But I was impressed with the N7 screen's resistance to cracking - especially after that second drop where it landed on a corner like the iPad did in the first drop.

    Nexus7 vs. iPad (abuse video, not functionality)

    Saw this on Gizmodo - N7 vs. iPad Abuse Didn't see this posted so I thought I'd share. My thoughts: smaller/lighter is better.

    How many joined AndroidCentral because of the Nexus7?

    Just curious how many out there are new to Android and/or tablets like me and joined AC because of your N7 purchase? (or because of the wait :eek:) I've found this forum very helpful in setting up my N7. Lastly, I love this little thing!!!
