Thanks, everyone. I purchased a replacement Revue from a forum member. I also installed a Plex server. The replacement Revue (as well as numerous other devices--mobile and otherwise) work great with Plex!

Thanks, I'll try that. So ES File Explorer can access USB flash drives on the Nexus 7--but Astro File Manager can't?

Thanks for the information. The Google Play description for this app mentions it's compatible not only with the Nexus 7, but also with the Moto X; however, my Moto X doesn't require this app. Why?

I can plug an OTG cable into my Moto X (Android 4.4.4) so as to access USB flash drives; well, drives smaller than 4GB, anyway. On the Settings > Storage page of the Moto X, there's an option to 'Mount USB storage'; the option becomes enabled when a (compatible?) USB flash drive is connected. I...

Re: Assist 8/20 update, get it! I was hopeful that this update would fix the ongoing issues I've had with Meeting Mode and appointments on alternate calendars (an issue which began after an update earlier this year); unfortunately, like Laineyc, it's still not working for me. How can we get...

Thanks. I realize Android TV is imminent. I wonder if Google will include the ability to playback MP4 files from a media server? Can all current Google TV devices playback MP4 files over a local network? (As I said, the Revue included an app that worked very well for that.)

Two weeks ago, my refurbished Logitech Revue stopped working. (About 18 months ago, Logitech sent the device as a replacement for the original refurbished device purchased from Amazon, which had failed.) Since that time, I've been corresponding with Logitech Support. They have since informed me...

Because I factory reset the device over the weekend, most of the settings are still the defaults. My lockscreen has the keypad and the standard Android clock. I'm unable to sweep from the right since I'm at the edge of the workspace. I can sweep one time from the left; the keypad remains but the...

Not that I'm aware of. I don't have any lockscreen widgets installed, either. The problem happened again last night. I hadn't used my device for about 6 hours. Without pressing the power button, I simply plugged in the charger. The display came on (which is normal) and showed my desktop without...

Thanks for the replies. I neglected to mention that the device frequently doesn't prompt me for the PIN even after hours of non-use; e.g., first thing in the morning. I'll change the Automatically Lock setting to "Immediately" to see if it helps but it seems like something else is amiss with the...

I have a Galaxy Nexus (4.2.2) and a Nexus 7 (4.3). Both devices are configured to require a PIN to unlock the screen. The security "Power button instantly locks" feature is also enabled on both devices. When I power on the Galaxy Nexus, it consistently prompts me for the PIN. When I power on...

I've had my Nexus 7 since December 2012. Soon thereafter, it began spontaneously rebooting when auto-installing apps. I disabled Auto Update...but still experienced spontaneous reboots. It would also spontaneously reboot when I manually installed the many pending updates. :( The upgrade to 4.3...

I stopped at my local VZW store today and told the salesperson that I wanted to buy a GN. He told me it wasn't for sale yet (hey, it was worth a try). He asked me if I wanted to see the store demo. He approached the store manager and came back--without the demo--telling me that the planned...

Good to know; thanks. So my uninstalling applications must have freed up some space in the /data/data partition. Too bad there's not an easier way to determine the affect of doing that.

I deleted a few unnecessary apps. Since then, Gmail push notifications are working again. Prior to GB, my push notifications would stop whenever the 'low memory' warning appeared; I wonder if they simply masked the warning that results in push notifications failing? (rather than resolving the...
