    Seemingly dead Nexus 7

    You've probably done these things already, but in case you haven't... 1. Keep the power button pressed in for a solid minute without letting go. 2. Plug into the charger, then walk away and come back after 2+ hours to try to power up again. Posted via the Android Central App

    Writing to memory stick from Nexus 7

    Re: Writing to memory stick from nexus 7 At what point does it give you this message? Upon inserting the drive or upon tapping OK for the file transfer to begin? Also, are you using a USB flash drive or a memory card of some sort inside a USB card reader?

    help needed

    I don't think so, especially if the battery isn't the problem and replacing it didn't create the problem. Put the old battery back in if you still have it. If not, don't worry about it. Then call Asus to arrange for the warranty repair. There's no need to discuss the battery with them. You have...

    Writing to memory stick from Nexus 7

    Re: Writing to memory stick from nexus 7 Hi, and welcome to the Nexus 7 forums. First, you've done well in figuring out how to attach a USB drive using an OTG cable, then using Nexus Media Importer to transfer or stream media files to the Nexus 7. To transfer files from the N7 to the USB drive...

    Voice recorder app?

    I don't know about Google Keep or Evernote, but Easy Voice Recorder does not limit the length of the recording. Even the free version is unlimited. However, the pro version has other enhancements, like the ability to use a Bluetooth microphone and organizing recordings into folders. There are...

    Evernote is not a standalone voice recorder, but it does include voice notes as one of its features, and allows you to access saved notes from other devices. It's free. Evernote...

    When offline how quick is the GPS

    My test results: Location: San Francisco Bay Area suburb Opened GPS Test Plus app with GPS turned off. Walked outside to the driveway, 2 story house on one side of me, about 20 feet away; various very tall trees semi-surrounding, approximately 50 to 150 feet away. Turned GPS on within 10...

    Phone app good for Nexus7 AND PC use?

    Use GrooVe IP Lite (free) on your N7. It works in conjunction with Google Voice, giving you a dialer and full integration with your Google contacts. You need an app like this in order to take advantage of the Google Voice calling feature, as such capability is not natively supported on a tablet...

    Confused about apps for phones & apps for tablets!

    Thanks Still. I'll expand further on what you started. On the N7 and probably most tablets, within the Play Store app and under the Apps section, there isn't a tablet-only category (this doesn't exist in Android, the way it does in iOS), but there are multiple pages that show "tablet...

    A week after placing several small PFDs of my Nexus, there is substantial lag time opening the PDFs

    First, if you haven't already tried this, restart your N7. Next, try a different PDF reader. If you're using the stock document reader, install Adobe Acrobat Reader instead. If you're already using Acrobat, try uninstalling then reinstalling it. Or try Kingsoft Office, which has a PDF reader...

    Can I remove the "microphone/Google search bar" tabby thing at the top of my home screen?

    Re: Can I remove the "microphone/Google search bar" tabby thing at the top of my home screen? The answer to your original question is that no, you can't remove the persistent Google search bar that appears at the top of your home screen. You can't, that is, as long as you are using the stock...

    Confused about apps for phones & apps for tablets!

    Diknak has a good response. I would add that the reputation of Android is that it lags behind iOS in terms of tablet optimized apps. However, I think it's catching up, and I also think that sometimes people nitpick when it comes to how a non-optimized app looks on a tablet. Most of the almost...
