    Android Pie Battery Drain

    I'm assuming that you have cleared your cache, if not, try that. It's such a simple fix but it actually can solve problems like that. I would back it up and then uninstall followed by a reinstall. Again a simple fix if successful. Yeah it's not just normal or you would have had this problem...

    Lock app icons and widgets on display page.

    I can't count how many times I've gone through activities thinking I might just be missing it. I've never seen the above method in any docs or anywhere. I'll play with Apex for a few days and then return to Nova.

    Lock app icons and widgets on display page.

    Wow I've never seen that. Thank you,I'll check it out. Just for fun I fired up Apex, which I've not used for years and it's been kind of fun. I've always said it would be the ultimate launcher if you could combine the 2. Just a few things here and there on both of them.

    Lock app icons and widgets on display page.

    I know this is an old thread but does anyone have a way to make a shortcut to lock and unlock the desktop from the desktop. It's a hassle to have to open Nova up every time you want to change something. Thanks in advance.

    Are there any REALLY fingerprint-resistant screen protectors out there?

    Google rhinoshield screen protectors. They're not cheap but look like real good ones. 5 times the impact protection of gorilla glass 2 and finger print protection. I may get myself one. Looks easy to install too. Thought that I should pop back here and tell you about them. Sent from my...

    Have You Gotten KitKat 4.4.1? Thread

    Got 4.4.2 a 1/2 hour ago. It does seem to help the touch screen response. But just like 4.4 I'll have to use it awhile to see differences. I also had added the google home launcher which I like but can't use my Nova or apex betas without losing the always on google now. Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi. WA -...

    Battery Life Screen Captures.

    I agree. Set your screen as low as comfortable. The 0-100 really has no meaning. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Battery Life Screen Captures.

    Most new displays are very bright so 50% is like 100% on older phones. I usually have both my Nexus 7 and my Razr HD set to about 15 to 25% unless I'm outdoors. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Best way to send/receive text messages on Nexus 7?

    If you are on Verizon get the Verizon Messaging app. It uses your phone # and makes texting a breeze on my Nexus 7 2013 wireless only. Easy to set up and it's a good interface with a lot of features. I was amazed that they actually made something good and useful. I also use the Vonage app for...
