    HTC Evo 4G broken Volume switch

    I'm in the same boat - only it is my power switch. All three switches are identical. 3 packs of the switches are available on eBay. 11-12 dollars from the US, 5 from China. I'll be opening mine up over the weekend. I'll check back and let you know what I find if you don't have a better...

    Nexus 10 or iPad 4?

    Screenshot: Third try at posting-it worked finally! Well, kinda. Totally illegible while the real thing is crystal clear. Sorry, I tried! Oh, and thanks Devlyn16. I thought that was it but it was being finicky.

    software buttons (back/home/multitasking) to one side?

    iPad uses a hardware button in the center. Why isn't that stupid?

    Nexus 10 or iPad 4?

    I couldn't see Devlyn's screenshot but the PDF looks good to me. Even small type footnotes are very readable in portrait mode. Plus you can zoom just a little to use the margins. How do I take a screenshot?

    How to sort photos?

    Quick answer - yes, you can do that. I use ES File Explorer as it works close enough to windows that I can figure it out. It's a play store app.

    [Q] Icon touch sensitivity

    The home button(s) don't move, so yes, they are different. Icons are intentionally able to tell the difference between short press, long press and drag-n-drop. This is my first tablet. I was accustomed to a pressure sensitive screen and found myself leaving my finger on the icon way too long...

    [Q] Icon touch sensitivity

    Did you use your finger or a stylus? N10 is very sensitive to any sideways movement, takes getting used to if using a finger. If you were not using a stylus try that. I've never had any other icon selection issues.

    Considering the Nexus for my next tablet

    And you can buy as many USB sticks as you want/need. I have separate sticks for music, books, pictures and movies. Note that you may wish to copy the movies instead of playing them from the stick. Just so you don't need to leave the OTG cable connected. I got the wrong bend in mine and it...

    App For Lost Or Stolen Nexus

    Yes, but that is your WiFi. Hopefully if yours is "lost" the finders won't know where your connection is.

    Nexus 10 poor WiFi Reception

    My Linksys router had poor WiFi on my laptop, so I bought a new N router to go with our new tablets. The N10 now works anywhere in our home. Mine is on 5ghz, my wife on 2.4, no conflicts. Caveat - our house is only 1600 sq ft.

    App For Lost Or Stolen Nexus

    The problem for me with all of these apps is you cannot use them AND password protect your N10. To work the N10 must make a WiFi connection. How many of those can the "finder" connect to if they cannot sign on to the N10? I'd like to know if I am wrong, but I don't see how it can work.

    freezing problems on new nexus 10

    I'm not sure there is a relationship yet, but... No freezes or reboots here, ever (knock on wood). I power off every night. I use Chrome and location services are on. Oh, Bear Motion magnetic case. Sleep works 100%. Also boot loader is unlocked and I am rooted. Very lucky? I don't know...

    Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter for N10

    I got the cheapest ones I could find (Sanoxy, I think) on Amazon. They come from Hong Kong so shipping takes a long time. And they have a 90? elbow that blocks the headphone jack. But function wise they work fine.
