    Google's Nexus 7 tablets dying early, possibly due to cheap memory

    I've had mine since the first week it was released, I've used it heavily every day, I mean heavy too. Hope I've not just jinxed it, lol. I use this nexus more than my laptop, I was away from it yesterday and I missed it sooo much, needless to say, today I got it back and I'm complete again...

    pros and cons of nexus 7?

    I'd go with a iPad mini. Don't get me wrong the nexus 7 is a good device but, the iPad is better and not much more cash. Take for instance deleting photo albums, deleting old gmail's you have to go online from a PC and remove them from there. Also my peeve at the moment is the local app it won't...

    Google local, frustrating app.

    It's a waste of space its of no use if it can't do what its intended for. You can't even disable or uninstall it. And that's being very polite I can think of another word to call it, wa#k. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Google local, frustrating app.

    Hi. Yeah all the settings are correct. Its not maps or through the net, its through the actual local app that comes on the nexus device. Its specifically for finding local stores and convenience's. The crazy thing is it works fine on my iPhone. Lol. All I want is for it to show me the nearest...

    Google local, frustrating app.

    Hi, I'm not sure if its me being a bit dim witted but, I'm trying to get the search results from Google local to display the search results by distance from my location. On every other app it does this no problem. If I use Google local on my iPhone it seems to be a much better app. The search...

    Putting videos onto the nexus 7

    My personal favourite is total video converter you can select most formats and either dice player or bs player. However total video converter isn't freeware. But the end result speaks for itself. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Google Now Cards Not Working

    Make sure remember search history is enabled as now uses this info for the cards. Then when you use Google search it will learn what you need by what you've previously looked for. It takes a bit of time but after a few days it starts showing card's. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Then...

    ipad mini or nexus 7

    I've been using the n7 for about 5 months now and overall the nexus/android experience as been OK but not without its faults. It was laggy at first, screen lift, sound/speaker issue's, learning curve "being my first android device". On paper the n7 wins hands down but in a real life situation...
