Nexus 7 General Discussion / Re: Case or no case?
« on: April 17, 2013, 08:02:12 AM »
I have this case:

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-SLIMLINE-Portfolio-Android-Version/dp/B009OKZ50C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366207121&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+7+case+green+poetic

I like it a lot, except that it does not have a stylus loop.  I don't like to clip my stylus on because I worry about the part that is now on the inside, rubbing against the screen.  Also, I wonder if this case provides enough protection; the last two times I've carried my N7 in my bag the battery connection has come loose.  But, would any case help prevent that from happening?  Its frustrating to have a portable device that I can't take out and about with me.

I'm not sure what to do.  My return window is long closed, and I have no idea who to contact about this.

Nexus 7 Help / Battery disconnects
« on: April 08, 2013, 07:33:18 AM »
A while back I dropped my N7 and it stopped working.  Eventually I ended up popping the back off, and reattaching the battery connection.  All seemed well after that.  This weekend I was out and about for the day and took the N7 with me in my purse.  I carried my bag normally; I didn't swing it or drop it or use it to beat off attackers or anything "stressful".  However, at some point I went to use the Nexus and it didn't turn on.  Again, I had to reattach the battery.  Is this normal?  It seems extremely sensitive if I can't carry it in my bag.  And, yes, it is in a protective cover, although I don't think that matters; I think its the movement that shakes the connector loose.  At any rate, I'm not happy about this.

Says "use your notes from anywhere".  Does that include iOS?

I guess I'm confused about the Kindle app, or not explaining myself clearly, because I can't imagine that this is the way its meant to work. 

Regarding Droid TV; its a subscription service.  I assumed it worked the same way as any paid music subscription app and figured they had the copyright issues worked out.

Lol I wouldn't have opened the back

Normally I wouldn't either.  It has never occurred to me to open the back of my iPad.  But, I was desperate and it came off quite easily.  The battery connector thingie was loose, so I pushed it back in and the N7 fired right back up. 

It was a little scary, though.

It never would've occurred to me to check the battery connection. Thanks for the suggestion.

OMG, I fixed it!  I carefully pried the back off, and checked the battery connection.  It HAD comes lose, so I plugged it back in.  Ta-da!

No, I didn't get the extra insurance.  I've never needed it in the past.  I just dropped it from waist level, onto the kitchen floor.  I'm afraid to take the back off.  I've had it for less than a month.  I should've sold it to the guy who offered me $150 the other day and just taken the loss.

I dropped my Nexus and now it won't turn on.  What can I do?  Is it dead?

Sarge, I'm in the US.  I was able to download Droid TV to my Nexus from the Amazon app store.  I already had it on my Fire, and the subscription carried over to the Nexus, so that was cool.  Others have said that they have to get a separate account for each device; it was nice to avoid that. 

I like this app because it works similar to how a music service app works.  Pay a monthly fee (although in this case its a fee for 3 months, I believe) and download as many shows as you want.  My company flies me around fairly often, and I like that I can download shows and watch them without having to have a wi-fi connection.  So I was very sad when I couldn't put it on the Nexus.  I do have it on the Fire, but I find the Fire a bit too constrictive.  Which is ironic, since I find the Nexus too open. 

The magazine thing is making me nuts.  It just seems like I'm missing something.  I have the Kindle app and the mags come through, but only in "book" format.  I can't imagine that that is how all Android users want it; seems like someone would've squawked by now.

I have it on my Kindle Fire.  It had been pulled from the Amazon App Store for a short period, but now its back.  I downloaded it from there.  So, I'm good there.  Where did you find it?  I don't know where to look for Android apps, beyond Amazon and Google Play. 

So, now I just have the magazine issue to resolve and I might actually start liking this thing  :D

<<<Well, let's revisit your gmail issues and then I'll help you with getting Droid TV installed. In mean time, try using Google currents for magazines, and give us some feedback.>>>

How do I install Droid TV?

Maybe I just don't have enough imagination for the Nexus.  I don't know. 

I agree about Chrome; that's why I use it on my iPad, as well.

I'm lost. How do I read a paid subscription in Google Magazines without paying for it again?
