    Nexus 7 won't update to 4.2.1...!

    I ended up exchanging mine this morning. Received a new device running 4.2, and as soon as I connected it to my home WiFi, it updated to 4.2.1. Very happy. The staff in store had never heard of the problem before, but offered an exchange straight away. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Android...

    Nexus 7 won't update to 4.2.1...!

    I looked at the manual updating today, following this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwlXQoAzrBE&feature=youtube_gdata_player My problem was when you have to download the Android SDK files. You need a lot of free space, and my laptop did not appreciate having so much downloaded...

    Using Simple Text - Nexus 7

    The crop option comes up for me when I have selected which icon I want to use from the gallery. It is the same as when you select an image to use as a wallpaper, it then gives you the option to crop before setting. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Android Central Forums

    Nexus 7 won't update to 4.2.1...!

    Hi. I have also seen some users saying they ate disappointed with 4.2/4.2.1. TBH, I think it is just frustrating me more that when my Nexus picks up that a system update is due, it fails halfway through. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Android Central Forums

    Using Simple Text - Nexus 7

    Took a screen shot to show you what I mean and my volume slider his got in the way. Basically, below the volume slider on the top right hand side, when you have created an icon that you are happy with size wise etc, press the save style option and it will save it as a template. So when you go...

    Using Simple Text - Nexus 7

    Re-sizing is something I have struggled with as well. There is probably an easy solution that I m not seeing, but the only way I manage to get it to a size I am happy with is to change the text size while in the Simple Text menu, and to play around with the crop just before you set it as the...

    Nexus 7 won't update to 4.2.1...!

    Thanks for your reply. Found all this while having a look around on Google etc. Has anyone out there manually updated their Nexus 7? I was all set to manually update this evening, then backed down from fear of doing something wrong and breaking/destroying my Nexus!

    Using Simple Text - Nexus 7

    No problem. No folder creating app. To create a folder, press and hope an app icon until the icons start to wiggle. Drag the wiggling icon and hold it on top off the another app icon - so if you are setting up a Tools folder, you might, for example, hold the Settings icon, and drag it on top...

    Using Simple Text - Nexus 7

    Hi, I am using a different launcher (Go launcher) but I have had no problems using simple text to replace my folders icons. Hopefully you can see the screen shot, I changed my Maps & Navigation folder icon using Simple Text. Same goes with app icons.

    Hi Sorry if this has been asked before. I am trying to change the font on my Nexus 7 and downloaded an app called Clean Font for FlipFont Free. I can't find an app called FlipFont, and the app I downloaded isn't working, so I am doing something wrong or completely misunderstanding what I need...
