    Nexus 7 at the heart of your stereo sound system

    I got this device the other day and it works great except when the Nexus 7 goes to sleep the music still plays but the sound drops out randomly. If I set the Nexus to stay awake and not sleep it works great. Anybody else have this problem??

    Reading Magazines on Nexus 7

    The one reason I favor Zinio instead of Google Play Magazine reader is the "text" mode on Google Play does not allow you to send the text to email, where you can print it out, whereas Zinio does allow this.

    Reading Magazines on Nexus 7

    I've been using Zinio as my magazine app. Works well with my Nexus 7. When you use "text" mode you can send the page to email and then print it.

    USB OTG problem with cruzer 16GB

    I really dunno....but does this cruzer have the SanDisk SecureAccess software loaded? Maybe that is causing the problem. Just a thought.

    Printing with N7 is not easy

    I just printed a webpage with CloudPrint. I tapped on the three dots icon in the upper right hand corner, then tapped share, then CloudPrint. Worked fine.

    Need USB Charging Cable NOT Data Cable

    I guess I wasn't clear......after a little research, I've found out that to get the Nexus 7 to charge as if its being charged via the AC charger you need to have the data pins shorted, and that is what a USB charging cable does and allows you to charge at the AC adapter rate.

    Need USB Charging Cable NOT Data Cable

    Would like to find a USB charging cable not a data cable. Are they available and where? As I understand it, data/charging cable will not allow the Nexus 7 to charge quickly. I plan to buy a car charger that can deliver 2.1 amps out for fast recharging.

    first time "signing in" taking forever

    Actually, it might have had to do with the multiple problems with my unit. It was really screwed up, Google thought someone had tried to root it and messed it up. Office Max said they would call me when the new shipment comes in but I'm call all around before that. :)

    first time "signing in" taking forever

    I just had to return my Nexus 7, but that's another story.........anyway one of the problems I had and solved might be happening to you. I had 2-step verification set up on my gmail and could not get my N7 to connect. I took that 2-step verify off and it connected. Hope this helps.
