Nexus 7 Help / travel issues
« on: November 07, 2012, 02:59:21 PM »I am pleased with my 16GB N7 so far, but as I bought it for traveling, I have one or two real issues from recent experience, can anyone suggest fxes or workarounds (it already has 4.2 SW)
1) Despite being set to "set network date and time" it won't automatically update the clocks to the local time, although it can tell me the local weather.
2) Google play seems to default to the local store, with language and currency, there doesn't seem to be an option to keep it pinned to the "home" store.
3) The credit card attached to the google play account (entered to get the free $25) is not visible when accessing these overseas play stores.
4) The "free" movie (transformers) can be played but not downloaded to the device while in another country. I wanted to download it to watch on the plane as I came through heathrow.
Generally it seems to have issues dealing with timezone changes and being a "global" device, a shame as other than that it's a much better travel tool than my iPad.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions
