I've got BT enabled on both my Nexus 9 and my Nexus 5, with both devices paired and my Nexus 5 set up as a trusted device. For some reason though, it shows as "Not connected" in the Smart Lock menu in Settings, and I still need a PIN. Also, I've got my home down as a Trusted Place and it still...

Not here. Brightness has a huge impact, though.

Google does have quite a comprehensive map of WiFi access points (their StreetView cars map them out), there was a controversy about it a while ago. It triangulates them in the same way that it does with GPS or cell signals.

I do a lot of file transfers - typically I transfer at least 5GB from an SD card to the tablet every day. I'm just concerned about the effect that has on the tablet's flash memory. This much transfer definitely shortens its life, but by how much? Should I care?

I'm not, but the only time anything has dropped or slipped, it was because it was placed badly or I did something clumsy - it didn't just jump out of my hand - so I learnt not to do those things or put it in those places.

Re: Won't Charge Through USB Port While Power is On You use a tablet for navigating a plane? ;o Anyway, most likely the USB doesn't put out enough power. Tablets have a much larger battery capacity than phones, so they need more power to charge at the same rate. AFAIK it should charge even on...

No, not necessarily. Don't put it in a position to fall and it won't fall.

If you have multiple users set up, None won't be there - you have to have a screen lock of some sort.

Scratch resistant.

The more attention/focus the activity demands, the bigger the device you're doing it on should be.

Can I at least get directions while online and access them (through Maps) offline? ;o

Way I solve it is to go onto the web version of Play Music and download it from there.

I think the next step in natural language is to have 'conversational' commands, so for example if a reminder comes up, you can tell it by voice to remind you again later, or that you're busy right now, or that you're already doing it. That's one possibility for a future iteration of Android. On...

It's probably some ultra-kinky porn app.

Oh, damn. I had thought that they were going to fully implement it along with offline directions later.
