Can't Install OTA Lollipop 5.0.2 update from Kit-Kat 4.4.4 I am currently running Android version 4.4.4 on an unrooted 2012 Google Nexus 7 WiFi tablet. As Lollipop began to be rolled-out, I never received any OTA updates for either Android 5.0 or Android 5.01. In mid-January, I received my...

I have been using the black MPOW Foldable/Adjustable Bluetooth 4.0 Stereo Headphone for about 3 weeks now on my 2012 Google Nexus 7 tablet, and highly recommend it. After reading the positive reviews for this product on Amazon, I purchased when it went on-sale for $33 dollars (current list...

After months of release candidates/betas, XBMC v13 "Gotham" is now available for download from XBMC site. I am currently using "Frodo" on my GN7 (2012) and it works flawlessly. However the newest version supposedly includes hardware media decoding on Android devices. That means you won't need...

I also am using a Windows laptop running XP and have a Google Nexus 7 tablet (2012 version). Using an OTG cable, I cannot connect my 1Gb WD My Passport HDD (Model WD50000ME-1) to the tablet; only various sized USB thumb drives. In December 2013, I purchased the RavPower File Hub Wireless SD...

I recently switched browsers on my laptops (from Chrome to Firefox) and was interested in using Firefox also on my GN7. In Google Play, I noticed that they have two different Firefox browsers that are compatible with the GN7 - Firefox Browser for Android and Firefox Beta. They currently are...

I have a Zagg screen protector on my GN7 (August purchase) and am now on my 2nd stylus (Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo - Model CS100K). My 1st stylus (BoxWave EverTouch Capacitive Stylus) lasted barely 3 months before the mesh fabric tip began to wear-down. My daughter also used the BoxWave stylus...

I'm using a BoxWave EverTouch Capacitive Stylus on my GN7 (note: the tablet surface is covered by a screen protector). Before purchasing this stylus, I researched online for a week or so, and the BoxWave was an highly endorsed stylus by iPad users, as a stylus in the under $20 dollar...

Today while on my laptop, I went to the Google Play website (under TODAY'S SURPRISE) and downloaded a free Rolling Stones track - "Beast of Burden" from Roundhay Park (Live, 1982) album. He is my issue: on Google Play (under MY MUSIC), the track is listed (including all the other free mp3...

Thank you...thank you...thank you. I really disliked the update to Google Currents (and its new content format) and was thinking of uninstalling the app itself until I saw your video. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos; they are very informative & well-produced. Happy Holidays.

Another fan of the MX Player. On my computers, I use VLC for all of my media, and it runs flawlessly, but found the VLC android app "buggy" when I installed it on my GN7. Never any problems with MX Player
