UPDATE: Have had my replacement N7 for about a week now, and it does rotate far easier than my original one. Took me a few days to make sure I placed all my apps on the new one, and the old one has been sent back.

Great customer service, received the replacement (did need to provide a cc in case I didn't return the first unit) before having to send the first one back.

You think they would at least string a customer along with something like "we're working hard to get the capability to Nexus 7 users..."

Here's the meat of the response I got from DirecTV. Not much of a response.

"Currently, DIRECTV Everywhere services are not supported on Android powered tablets.  As many of these services are compatible on Android powered phones, you may have the ability to download the app to your tablet, but it's functionality cannot be guaranteed since the app is not configured for the tablet.

DIRECTV continues to focus on improving the DIRECTV Everywhere service and expanding it's availability to more devices, however, at this time there is no timeframe available for release on any specific device or groups of devices."

I contacted Google customer support this morning. It took a while for them to understand my issue, but once they did, they agreed that it was not operating as it should. I have a new one on the way, and once I receive it, I ship my existing one back to them.

So how do you like your case? Been thinking of ordering one.

Have been a DirecTV customer for years and years. Thought I'd try to see what I could see on my N7. I downloaded the DirecTV Experience app, and it opens fine, and I can watch TV show previews and movie previews just fine. When I try to view the same show or movie, I get a pop-up that says "Unfortunately, DIRECTV has stopped" and then gives me the choice to click on Report or OK.

So, I think to myself, maybe I'm not signed in on DirecTV. I go to their website (via Google Chrome), click on the Sign In link, and then I get a "The site's security certificate is not trusted." If I clink on the Proceed Anyway option, nothing happens.

Any ideas?


thanks,
Herb

At 45o, it's definitely not rotating every time. I'm happy to have it rotate so much better when I hold it near vertical, but you're right, I shouldn't have to do that. Maybe a call is in order.

For returns, does Google repair your unit, ship a new one, or ship a refurb? Looks like I'll be needing a new screen protector.

Mine rotates better if i tilt the face of the screen more toward vertical, regardless of whether it's in landscape or portrait orientation.

hmmmm.......my first try at rotating it this way, does seem to improve the rotation. May have to think about this before I contact Google customer service. Makes me wonder if I held the unit differently while I had the cable connected, therefore seemingly giving me better rotation performance? Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been enjoying my N7 for about a week now, and I'm getting used to it without too much drama, but I have one issue that's bugging me.

My N7 does not seem to rotate the display very easily. I'm not talking about the Home Screen, but every screen. I've installed, and removed, various rotation control apps, but while they have the option to rotate the home screen, not much else changes for me. I have to give the N7 something on the order of a 5.0 on the Richter scale to get it to rotate. Some N7 videos I've seen on YouTube show a much gentler, and faster screen rotation than I'm seeing.

Is the rotation controlled by the gyroscope, and if so, is there a sensitivity adjustment for it? It also seems to me that the display rotates far better when my N7 is connected (by USB cable) to my computer. Not sure there's a real correlation there, but there appears to be.


thanks,
Herb
