    Crashes, Freezes, & Slower - Oh My!

    If you haven't done a factory reset, try it...it worked for me. However, after the reset, it took several hours before all my apps reappeared and the OS settled down. Now it seems that everything is moving more quickly and more smoothly than in 4.1. Good luck.

    Google Nexus 7 Tips and Tricks

    Move the pointers so the area you want to highlight is blocked in orange. Then put your finger on the highlighted area and hold it there for a couple of seconds and a box with choices will pop up, including a 'copy' option.

    Crashes, Freezes, & Slower - Oh My!

    OK, here's a new one. I use SpeakerBoost to overcome the inadequate volume on the N7. Worked perfectly until 4.2. Now, when I increase the boost, the volume DECREASES instead of increasing. There is a momentary increase but then it immediately drops. Unfortunately, there is no link in the app's...

    Crashes, Freezes, & Slower - Oh My!

    I did the full reset a couple days ago, and now Firefox crashes every time I go to another app. For those people having issues I'm thinking the base problem will not be solved even with a full reset, but with a 'new and improved' update from Android.

    Crashes, Freezes, & Slower - Oh My!

    No, I can remember them, but with over 100 across several devices and users, I was thinking a PW app that I could reinstall after a system reset would be pretty handy. I'm just concerned that a single hack on the PW app would spill out all my PWs. Ah, the worries of the modern world :-)

    Crashes, Freezes, & Slower - Oh My!

    Thanks badbrad17. That is exactly what I did but my query was because some of my apps did not show up at first. Apparently they were reloading while I was asking my question. Anyhow, I've got everything back now. But I am wondering if I should add a password app since it's a PITA reentering all...

    How did you do the factory reset? And did you have to rebuy any of your purchased apps from the store? Thanks, Eric

    Google Nexus 7 Tips and Tricks

    You could start with http://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-7-rooting-roms-hacks/ OK...as for the shrinking wp...now I'm just guessing, but the fact that you've rooted may be affecting Rotate. Or, the wp you're using has a quirk. Use a factory wp for a while to test that. If it still shrinks...

    Pinyin IME...WTH?

    Yeah, that's pretty much where I am, too. I suppose someone at the Jellybean Works will finally notice this glitch and step on it.

    Thanks. Those get the point across, too...but I really appreciate the humor in Annie's segment.

    JB vs Siri

    This may have been posted before, but if so, I didn't catch it. The JB vs Siri segment starts about half way thru. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grmixtB9dZM&feature=youtube_gdata_player Very funny...maybe not so much if you have an iPhone.

    Pinyin IME...WTH?

    For some reason it was already loaded when I got the N7. And I did delete the app yesterday. But every time I launch, the update notification shows up again. While I give it points for persistence, it's now getting to be worse than a Jehovah's Witness. ---------- Post Merged at 11:58 AM...

    Pinyin IME...WTH?

    So I kept getting updates for Google Pinyin IME. Since I only speak six words of Chinese, I decided to delete the app. Did so yesterday. Now this morning I am still getting the update notifications. Anyone know how to stop this annoyance?

    Can't access streaming radio sites

    Done and done. Loaded the TuneIn radio app and it did everything I needed. Thanks again.
