I own a Nexus 7 and have been using the standard launcher that comes with it. I have apps and folders that are on the main screen as well as the other 2 screens to the left and also the 2 screens to the right. I just downloaded the Google Now launcher. I like how you can scroll left to go into...

I have become a big user of Google Voice and have several phone numbers via multiple email accounts. On my iPhone I have tried several apps and found Talkatone to be among the others but there were some close competitors. Now that I have an Android tablet I have tried Talkatone. It is nice...

I am a relatively new Android user and am looking for a good FTP app for Android. I work for a business that has multiple websites so I do some relatively heavy FTP use such as downloading files, uploading files, and editing files. There seems to be so many in the Google Play store. Are there...

I have a Nexus 7 tablet and every few days I notice a few new apps on the device. I'm not sure if they're full apps or just simply icons to download apps or get more information. I have tried to avoid using them. I know previously I had a couple apps that were sending notifications to the...

I just got a new Android tablet for the holidays. I'm beginning to set it up and install apps. I'm looking for a good app for printing. I have a Brother printer. It doesn't have it's own WiFi but it's connected via both Ethernet and USB to the home wired/wireless network. Are there any good...

I just recently got my first Android tablet, a Nexus 7. Some people I know who have tablets seem to have gotten a Voice Recorder app but I don't see one on the Nexus 7. Are there any specific voice recorder apps I should look at? I'm not looking anything fancy but something that I can simply...

I'm new to Android and just purchased a 2013 Nexus 7. What do I need to do for security on it? I've heard about the Lookout Security and AntiVirus app. Is this something I should get or should I look into some other options for security such as AntiVirus, Malware protection, etc. Thanks!

I forgot to ask this in an earlier post about Android apps. I recently purchased a Nexus 7 and also purchased a Nexus 7 for my fiancee. One of her favorite things is to keep a journal and do journaling. She'd like to move that to electronic format on her Nexus 7. Security would be a plus...

I am an ex-iPad user and am mostly used to FileMaker and Bento. Now that I have a Nexus 7 I'm looking for a good Database app. I've come across some such as HanDBase and Memento. Are these the best or are there others I should look at? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have been an iPad user for quite some time and I have enjoyed using apps such as Apple's own Reminders app and the Due app. Also, I've worked with To Do apps such as Clear, OmniFocus, LifeTopix, and Things. Now that I have a Nexus 7 I am looking for both a good Reminders type of app and a To...

I just purchased the 2013 Nexus 7 so am relatively new to Android. At home I use a Mac desktop and a Mac laptop. With my iPad I have an app that I can use to access my Mac on the go. I'm able to view the desktop and actually use the desktop, transfer files, etc. What type of app is available...

Hello, I appreciate your help. I did a hard reset since I am at the point I'd gladly sell this and this may be a good time to do it. I did the reset that i think said it would also clear all data. I've done this twice but it didn't fix the issue. It stays on the screen with the red circle...

I have the original Motorola Xoom with the newest version of Android that can be installed on that device. I can't remember what that version is now. It has been working fine although VERY slow. I know it's age is showing and actually am waiting on the update to the Nexus 7 and will get that...

I read on the internet earlier that it seems that Google Voice won't work on the Nexus 7 app for making phone calls. I see the app is available for the Nexus 7 and I downloaded it and logged into my account but I don't have access to a dialer to make calls. Is this unique to the Nexus 7 or to...

I have a Motorola Xoom and installed Adobe Flash for it. My fiancee recently ordered a Google Nexus 7 but I read the article about how Adobe Flash was going to be removed from the Google Play store but unfortunately the day it was removed was just one day before her tablet was going to arrive...
