    There are a number of Google apps on my Nexus 7, I don't want. How can I get rid of them?

    Re: There are a number of Google apps on my Nexus 7, I don't want Thanks for the prompt. I'd forgotten the Disable in the apps manager. D

    There are a number of Google apps on my Nexus 7, I don't want. How can I get rid of them?

    There are a number of Google apps on my Nexus 7, I don't want On the Nexus 7s (Two in the house, Hers and Mine) there are a number of Google originated apps that (1) I didn't put there, and (2) I never ever use. Things like Google Slides, Google Play Games, etc, etc. But these nasty...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    Tried that, just a big PITA. Thanks for the thought, appreciated Dx

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    For the sake of this discussion lets leave it at Win 7 Pro SP1 and 64bit. I've just realised, the N7 can be set to see the Win computers, and printer in the filer, but the Win 7 computers cannot be set to see (Wirelessly) the N7. If I want to do stuff *from* the Win 7 I have to connect the N7...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    As Beam is unreliable, I'm going to forget about it and move on. ;-) Moving the problem slightly sideways... Bluetooth between the two N7 Tabs works okay, but what about connecting the two of them via the LAN? All my real computers, printers etc here, are (all) LAN connected via Router and...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    Good thought... I did try that previously with the Explorer I have installed, "ES File Explorer" but it didn't beam the selected file. I'll maybe have a go with your suggestion when I have time... Thanks Dx Later Edit... I discover I can't. At some point in the past when trying out various...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    In the light of what Diknak wrote. "...those are handled by the gallery app." I thought I'd try that, just to see if the two machines were capable of Beaming. I have a particular picture in the Gallery app on my machine that's not in the Gallery of her machine, so I beamed that, and indeedy it...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    At the simplest... I have some text in a text editor, I want to give it to her machine, mate the two machines as required, the text editor on her machine is activated, but the text is not transferred. You can't get much simpler than that. If it can't beam that, then the whole concept is a...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    Really... Obviously I'm only tapping on ONE device, the send device BTW. (Though tried other way as well). Obviously tapping in an appropriate place because the machine makes a hum beep noise and then the Tap prompt vanishes. I'm looking for some new ideas folks, not stuff I've been through...

    Does Beam on a Nexus 7 EVER work?

    My wife and I both have a Nexus 7, and though they are configured to beam they never have. Everything for beaming is switched on/configured. I have something on my screen, could be a Firefox page, a picture, a document, a database... Whatever. Both N7 devices have the same apps installed BTW...

    Keyboard defaulting is driving me up the wall

    Ooer! There is life here after all. ;-) I was looking for some configuration, but but never found one... No-one here replied so I though about it some more. Xperimented and Eureka! This is a Nexus 7 keyboard BTW, so dunno about yours. Sheet on screen, keyboard displayed, and directly above it...

    Thankfully, I've kind of found a fix myself. Ax

    Keyboard defaulting is driving me up the wall

    I've done some searching, but can't seem to find a solution to my particular problem. I'm using a Nexus 7 with the default screen displayed keyboard. I do a lot of spreadsheet work on the N7 using Kingsoft Office, but the real bummer is the keyboard. Doing a lot of entries on the spreadsheet, I...
