    Google Nexus 7 Tips and Tricks

    Try swiping without letting go. It takes either a big swipe or a swipe from the very edge of the screen to "enter tab switching mode" as opposed to just scrolling on the page. But then if your finger remains on the screen dragging left/right switches tabs. If you do it slower you'll go...

    ICS is rolling out again.

    There are a TON of people writing here that are saying the exact same thing. "I installed it the first time around and it screwed my phone therefore this one also sucks and you're all stupid for installing it." Your opinion is fine. I totally understand feeling burned and not wanting to go...

    must have apps??

    Oh man, 100% wipe? I've already installed a TON of stuff I'd rather not have to go through all that again :/ Once again, I seriously appreciate all the advice and explanation. Cheers! That's a big help as well :)

    must have apps??

    Thank you so so so so much. That information about the SA/DS3 is suuuuper helpful. I don't have either controller but I may pick one up after your review. (I think I might have a wired 360 controller I can play with and try first though...). This is totally the wrong forum to be asking...

    must have apps??

    I appreciate your response and I've seen a bunch of those youtube videos but what I'm looking for are all the specifics people can offer about all the various options out there. The videos tend to be more of the, "Hey! Look what I did!" variety. And while that's cool, it doesn't exactly answer...

    must have apps??

    So you plug the 360 controller into the USB OTG adapter and plug that into your N7 and then... it just works? Do you have to configure key-maps for anything (native games/emulators)? Does android recognize the controller as a keyboard? Do you use an app to interface with it? How do the...

    must have apps??

    Hi there, would you mind elaborating a bit on your setup with these two controllers? Do you need an app for the Xbox controller? Are you rooted/do you need to be? What kinds of setup do you do to make the controllers work with various apps? Have you tested with emulators? Anything else you can...

    HDMI/USB Adapters?

    Well it's not for everybody but it's a nice feature to have. My girlfriend doesn't have a "smart" tv (or netflix), but I can serve it up from my phone. Sent from my SGSIIE4GT

    Still no car docks available?

    Well if you also like to listen to music from your phone through your car stereo and you want to put your phone in the dock with as little effort as possible, you probably want the samsung dock (possibly the one for the Infuse). If you don't mind finding/untangling your charging cable (and...

    Still no car docks available?

    Me too! As I was checking out I saw that Samsung for some reason changed my 3-day shipping to the "standard (up to 10 days)" shipping. Damnit! Guess I won't have it by the weekend :(. Hopefully it won't really take 10 days.

    Slide to Vibrate on Lock Screen?

    It's all about the 3rd party UI's. HTC Sense pre 3.0 also didn't include this feature. (Sense 3.0 is pretty excellent now). In general 3rd parties are starting to see the value of having functions accessibly without unlocking the phone. The new Droid Razr for instance lets you open the...
