If it were me I won't do anything until I sure that my old unit was working properly. You need to not only charge it but make sure that the battery capacity is still there and after using it awhile put it on the charger again and make sure it is able to be charged.

My N10 just got it's update this evening, a few minutes rebooting and it seems ok now. I'm continuing to give it little tests just to make sure there's not something bad lurking, but so far so good.

Ah, here's something, compares TrustGo with other antiviruses. Of course it's on the TrustGo site, so it might be a little biased :)

I use Lookout, but I don't know if it's any better than Avast. Is there any study or comparison article?

Just wondering, why are you starting to loathe your Kindle Fire 7" HD as an e-reader?

Question from a real newbie... I have a month old Nexus 10 with version 4.2.2 of Android. Do I do something to update to 4.3 or does it happen automatically at some point in the future? I'm in no hurry, I'm a pretty casual user. I told you I was a newbie :)

Sorry for the double post but I want to let you know that I did install "app backup and restore" and it works as you described. Appreciate the help. Also, as a warning for those with a Nexus 10 and Windows 7, I had also tried to install and use "Helium", formerly know as "Carbon" as a backup...

Thanks, this sounds pretty useful. I probably can work around the lack of the app data not being backed up. I'll give it a look.

Yes, I thought I remembered someone mentioning how you could remove from your Play listing apps which you no longer cared about. It is a stupid change. Now it just lists every app I've ever had on the device.

I'm having some Nexus 10 issues and I think it might partly be due to me not letting the unit power down completely before closing the lid on my Snugg cover which turns off the screen via a magnet. Rather than going through this irritation again, I think I'd rather just remove the offending...

I'm having some issues with my Nexus 10 and thought about doing a factory reset and re-installing my apps from the Google Store. I've found the location of "My Apps" in Google Play, but it lists all the apps I've ever installed, even if I've deleted them again. Is there some play in Google Play...

I've been looking around at the security settings in the N10 and have been intrigued by the "encrypt tablet" option. While it addresses what it takes to encrypt the tablet it doesn't mention what the effect would be on performance. Anyone have experience with this and can shine some light on the...

I'm looking to store on my Nexus 10 a few text files that contain sensitive data. I'm hoping some of you grognards can suggest an appropriate app. I've tried looking around in Google Play but everything seems either too complex (like EDS) or just a password manager (like NS Wallet). What I need...

I just got my new Nexus 10 a few days ago and as I usually do, I left on the plastic film that comes on the screen from the factory. I'm sure the plastic will eventually work it's way off and that leads me to a decision... do I get a screen protector? For my old Palm TX I religiously used them...
