I've bought an adaptor and moved files from a pendrive to my Nexus. I'm hoping to view films via this too, then I remembered that I have both an external cd/dvd drive from an old laptop, and an external hard drive from my PC. My question is whether either of these would work via the micro USB...

No problem taking screen shots but will someone kindly walk me through the upload & post please? Do I have to use Picasa or can it come straight here?

I have the 32gb Nexus 10. I've put one year's worth of photos, some music and all my kindle library. It's used about a quarter of the capacity. I'm going to be without wifi for a month and will be loading it up with films. But I've also bought an OTG micro usb adaptor so actually all my films...

You've probably solved your problem by now but I was concerned that it was the fault of my Nexus when it kept dropping the WiFi. I had no problems with the phones and laptops in the house. But it seems it was the router and an upgrade has sorted it out. I hope :p It's still a mystery why it...

In a related question; should I tell my wireless page to forget all my neighbours' secured networks as I'll never be able to use them and a lot of time seems to be spent scanning them?

I've upgraded my router's firmware and (20 minutes on) I think I may have fixed it! Edit: the following morning, yes, it seems to be fixed - not one wifi drop. :cool: Edit: It seems I spoke too soon. After several hours of good behaviour, it dropped again and won't reconnect (although it says...

I got my N10 about 2 weeks ago and have spent the time getting to know it and struggling, but ultimately succeeding, to sync contacts and calendar. But this weekend it has started dropping the WiFi connection - even when it says or thinks it's connected. Sometimes the icon is grey, sometimes...

I seem to have solved some of my problems: I told my new calendar entry to save to google rather than mycalendar, I set up google calendar on my PC and reclicked everything that said sync on the PC, Nexus and phone. Entries from the Nexus to the phone haven't appeared but somehow my contacts...

And, I've just been on My Android Apps/Google Play (from my PC) which gives me a view of all the apps on both devices. I've noticed that neither the calendar or contacts that are on my phone show up either as a system app or an installed one. Could it be bundled with Samsung Push???

Gosh, that looks way beyond my powers. . . I have a lot of VLC videos on my PC and when I copied one on to my Nexus it just wouldn't play. Maybe the app you mentioned is the way to go. Edit: I installed the vlc app and the videos play from my Nexus and via a micro USB adaptor. I'm such a twit...

Can anyone think why my pages load slowly or time out when my settings say my WiFi connection is excellent? I did install tablet talk yesterday to try to make my tablet pick up texts from my phone (and contacts, but that's another story) I used Bluetooth but that is now off on both devices and...

So, is my Google account google.com or googlemail.com and is googlemail.com the same as GMail???? I have 3 user names and passwords from before my smartphone . . .

Can I also say how good an app called SwiftKey is. I installed the free demo and used it. It is very like Swype on my Samsung phone. So I uninstalled the trial today and bought the app. It's very intuitive and supports other languages too. The only problem seems to be in landscape where it...

I've spent the weekend ticking every box I can find on my phone and my tablet to enable sync. but with no luck. Do you think I may be asking something that isn't possible? I only realised today that the nexus calls it's contacts 'people' Why? It is now full of the e-mail addresses from everyone...

Hi, here's my first post. I got a Samsung smartphone last November and in love it. I've just treated myself to a nexus 10 and I'm struggling with some of the differences. On my phone I love swype and have an full set of contacts and calendar events. I've spent the last few days getting to grips...
