    Using the Nexus 7 as a graphics tablet

    I am not sure what you mean by graphics tablet. If you are just wanting to control mouse and keyboard function of you computer, there are several apps that can do that. Wifi Mouse was one I tried out. It worked out ok. Still looking for a better one though. You can control your mouse and...

    Hold back on Android updates?

    No Os runs perfectly. Ever. Not even iOS can claim that. When Jellybean came out (4.1) there were people saying they were issues that 4.0 had that hadn't been addressed in with the new OS. And there were no issues that cropped up. Something happened when 4.1 came out, and 4.1.1 and 4..1.2 as...

    Lots of posts about running battery too low

    B. Diddy, I am going to have to disagree with the last part about the battery not being easy to replace. There are several videos showing it only takes a few steps to remove the back cover of the Nexus 7. Once that is done the batter can be removed rather simply. it is just one cord. I would...

    First android tablet

    Every device is going to have it's quirks. Nothing is ever perfect. The Nexus 7 is also my first android device. I do wish somethings were different. And SD slot would have been nice. A default app to record video and sound from the device would have been nice as well. And a few others things...

    Home Button Question

    He did mention the library widget and that the device was new. So, I made the assumption he was on the middle screen and hadn't yet swiped left or right to see one of the other home screens. At any rate. You are correct. Tapping the home button once will get you to the previous home screen you...

    Effing Folders

    The manual description says it was published December 2012. And there are references to Jellybean 4.2 in the book. So, the manual your are referring to possibly was published earlier. I was referring to the one available now. I still think it would be nice if Google had given it's users a...

    Effing Folders

    It would have been nice if Google let us know we have a manual. I got mine back in early October. For version 4.11, which came with my device, all we got was a quick guide. It was maybe 10 pages. Somewhere between there an 4.2.1 they added a full blown manuals. It is all of 177 pages long.

    Can't get Nexus 7 to do Addition with Voice

    I think I see what the issue is now. it is likely a speech recognition problem. I tried saying add 6 + 7 and got add 6 foot 7 in the input field. I said add 7 + 6 and it gave me links to office sweat. I had not thought to do thing that way you are. Buying saying what is x + x I get an audible...

    Can't get Nexus 7 to do Addition with Voice

    I just checked Google now. added 3+4 then 5+7. I got an audio response of 7 and 12. Both correct. Seems to be working fine. I do not believe the calculator app has the function to use voice commands. Though Google now works well. I would just use it instead.

    External Webcam on Nexus 7 via USB?

    This is a very good question that I would like an answer to as well. If a OTG and the proper software lets you input and output to a SD card, I would assume you could use the OTG cable to send a signal from a webcam. I don't think logitech will be rushing to make software drivers for the Nexus...

    Nexus 7 Shut down due to 0 Battery Life. But, I seemed to...

    My impression about this whole 0% charge issue is that it is software related. Hopefully something google will address in an upcoming patch. All I know is that is a nightmare I don't want to face again.

    Nexus 7 won't charge

    I know I plan never to let is discharge completely ever again if it can be avoid. It was a big nightmare getting it to get charging correctly again. Not as bad a nightmare as others have had. But, plenty bad enough for me that I will avoid that as best as I can. I might let it get down to 10%...

    Funny Kimi, I actually let is sleep at night. But don't turn it off as it is my alarm clock. The only reason I kept checking over and over that one day was because I was worried I had messed up the battery letting it go do zero % charge. Sometimes I put it on the charger when it hits 15%...
