    Unable To Post Photos Using WhatsApp

    I have a new Moto G6 phone and am unable to post a photo using WahtsApp that has been downloaded from another source (my camera) but get the message "The File Format Is Not Supported". Using an image taken with the phone it works OK. The files are compressed i.e. not too big and I've tried...

    Linking Nexus 7 with TV

    OK thanks but as Chromecast isn't cheap / to make sure - I can get BT Sport on my PC and Tablet and using Chromecast it will play through my TV? The reviews on Google Play suggest it's just YouTube and personal video stuff only that can be 'cast'.

    Linking Nexus 7 with TV

    Is it possible / how can I link my N7 (Generation-1, 2012) with the TV in order to watch streamed TV content off the N7? Looking around there is stuff like Slim Port and Chromecast which seems to be limited to the Gen 2 version only. I notice that using the KitKat 4.4.2 version now running on...

    Input Amperage for Nexus 7

    I have just purchased a New Trent IMP120D for on-the-go charging my Nexus 7 when away from mains electricity. There are two outputs: 5V @ 1A and 5V @ 2.1A - which would be the right one to use for the Nexus 7? On the same theme, using a suitable cable is it OK to charge directly from a car's...

    Power Pack

    I am not sure what they are actually called but I believe it is possible to get a small power pack that can rapidly recharge your phone or a Nexus 7 whilst away from a mains power supply. Can anyone recommend such an item + where I can get one from + what would be the specification for such...

    Google Play Music Settings

    As I am not getting anywhere here & urgently need to resolve the issue, I thought I would restate the problem: I have Google Play Music (GPM) set to Device Only but when I go onto WiFi GPM is using most of the bandwidth and lots of MB presumably downloading something e.g. if left alone after...

    Google Play Music Settings

    Unfortunately having unchecked the Google Play Music (GPM) under Settings has not cleared the problem, which is so extreme I am thinking of disabling Google Play Music, which would be very disappointing. Despite unchecking both the above and running under Device Only, it's seems like each time I...

    Google Play Music Settings

    Thanks DavdEB Smith that looks promising, have unchecked & will see how it goes & report back. Didn't realize all those syncing options were hidden in there - will try to remember that in the future.

    Google Play Music Settings

    I posted before about available memory for music on the N7 and, to cut a long story short, have restricted my music to 6GB using the Device Only setting. I presumed that having done this and as long as I didn't change the choice of music, once downloaded onto the device that was it. Having...

    WhatsApp

    Thanks, it's just that my daughter is off travelling & uses WhatsApp, I think I'll leave well alone + try and persuade her to use Skype. Can't see why WhatsApp wouldn't want tablet users to use this?

    WhatsApp

    It seems that WhatsApp is not compatible with the Nexus 7, although there appears are some rather complicated ways of installing it . Does anybody have a simple (idiot proof) way of installation / is there an N7 version?
