    problems with my Contacts app

    Starting recently, when I try to open my Contacts app, it doesn't open and I instead get a message 'unfortunately, contacts has stopped.' Does anyone have some suggestions for what I should do--something that won't make me lose all my contact info. Thanks, David

    problems with audio wizard - how to fix?

    The audio wizard app which came with my memo tablet--and which i need to make netflix audio come across as anything above a whisper--stops working, seemingly without reason. The only way I've found to get it going again is to shut off and then restart my tablet, which I seem to have to do once a...

    hiding app button, etc. on main tablet screen

    When I have the tablet in landscape mode, with no apps open, toward the bottom of the screen is an app button (circle with dots in it) and five dots in a row which indicate which screen I have scrolled to. Is there any way to hide these on this main screen? I'd like to just have my wallpaper...

    Can I change my Contacts "connection" from Device to Google?

    While I appreciate your advice, this is just one more instance of lame functionality from Google and Android. A more elegant way of dealing with this would be to to let people make the change right inside the contact info, instead of having to do the export, then enter again. I suppose Google...

    is there a way of using a different keyboard layout on my N7

    Is there an way to apply and use a different keyboard than what is standard on my N7? It'd prefer a keyboard layout which has the dash, quote, colon, and single quote ( - , " , : , ' ) on the same 'menu' or keyboard as the letters, instead of mixed in with the numbers. Up until a recent OS...

    can't access interent while at work

    I'm not sure if this is Android or Chrome related for both, but: I'm trying to access the internet at work. We have Wi-fi available. On my laptop (XP) or iPod, I can access it to check my emails, etc. When I try to go online, I get a web page, like http//1.1.1.1 which asks me to accept the...

    it seems like my N7 keyboard layout keeps changing all of a sudden?

    A few minutes ago I was typing a search in chrome and I noticed the bottom row on my keyboard had changed: to the right of the 'm' key was a dash where there used to be a parenthases like '. I went to the email app and started to type an email and noticed the same thing. However, while I'm...

    why so many thumbnails in /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/.thumbnails

    I was just looking at the memory usage on my N7 and saw that there are 1700 thumbnail jpg files in the folder: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/.thumbnails. I have loaded quite a number of files from my camera to edit them, but I didn't create these thumbnail versions. I'm not sure but it seems that...

    music player & creating playlists

    That still may not work for me. I have a lot of song which are not from an album, so it seems I'd have to add these individually, which takes way too long

    music player & creating playlists

    I'm looking for a music player with a simple UI and one that will easily create playlists from the many music files I download directly to my N7. I tried poweramp, but it's a bit confusing and only let's you add songs to a playlist one at a time. Some apps I'm considering are: Rocket music...

    how to build my own live wallpaper?

    I'm trying to find out how I can make my own live wallpapers and install them on my N7? I have nexus media importer so I could download a file from a flash drive if necessary. I also have photo editing apps installed and files of many of my own photos (which I now use as wallpaper images). Best...
