Nexus 7 Help / Netflix no longer streams - used to work fine?
« on: March 29, 2013, 10:55:13 PM »
I haven't watched Netflix on my tablet in a month or so, but I just tried to watch something last night, and as soon as I hit the little play arrow, I get the big read Netflix screen with the little circle, like it's loading...and then, it goes back to the Netflix browse screen.  No matter what movie or show I try.  I have no problem watching in via my laptop or pc or tv.  Every other device works fine. Anyone else have this happen?

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Gift for nephew's new Nexus...books?
« on: February 13, 2013, 03:51:01 PM »
My nephew is getting a Nexus 7 for his 20th birthday.  He will be wanting to use it for reading books.  I've not used my Nexus for this myself.  I mean, I've looked at the books that came with it, but I just prefer real books, so I haven't explored any options for finding books to download.  I would like to get him a gift card to buy/download books to the tablet for reading, but I am unsure what the best provider is.   What do you guys use to download books?  I guess he could use an Amazon gift card?  What about Google Play?  Just looking for the best option.

Nexus 7 Help / Nexus working since Xmas, now won't connect?
« on: January 10, 2013, 10:36:05 AM »
My mom's Nexus has been working fine, and stayed connected, since we set it up for her at Christmas.  Today, she called me and said she can't get connected.  She has DSL, never any problems with the wireless service or router...ever.  I've never had my laptop or table drop a connection there either.  I'm at work, so I can't even troubleshoot it right now, but just thought I'd post the question here and see if anyone had any tips for me to use later.  Guess I will have to go over there after work.  :(

Nexus 7 Apps / Bought BW...no app drawer in menu?
« on: January 05, 2013, 10:02:58 PM »
Okay after all the glowing reviews in the forums....I purchased my first app...Beautiful Widgets. But all I see when I open the icon, is a how-to that tells me that I should open my app drawer and select from there.  I don't see anything in BW that gives me any selection.  What am I doing wrong?

Nexus 7 General Discussion / 81 year old mom says take it back. :-(
« on: January 02, 2013, 01:40:42 PM »
We got my mom a Nexus, after much discussion about whether or not she would be able to use it.  I didn't think she would, but my sister was really convinced that it would be a Godsend for our mom, as dad sits on the computer all day long playing games.  I showed her how to open a browser, how to access FB, use the keypad...even downloaded a nice Mahjong ap that she likes.  But she is just over it.  She told me yesterday that she's putting it back in the box.  I don't know that we can return it, my sis bought it out of state, and we don't have that store here locally, even if the WOULD take it back.  I am fairly techy so this stuff seems like 2nd nature to me, but she is not too adept at figuring things out I guess.  She does use a computer, and does fine with that ( I do often have to clean up things and recreate shortcuts and the like).

So, just looking for suggestions here....anyone have ideas as far as how to make it more "senior-friendly"?

Nexus 7 Help / How to stop redirect to mobil sites?
« on: December 07, 2012, 12:02:18 PM »
I have been using a Dell Streak for a year, and just got this Nexus 7, and I like it, but it keeps redirecting me to mobile sites.  The Streak never did that.  I am using the default Chrome browser.  Is there a setting somewhere that will stop this annoying redirect?

Nexus 7 Accessories / Has anyone tried one of the micro-usb card readers?
« on: October 12, 2012, 02:40:36 PM »
My family purchased a Nexus 7 for our cousin - she is unable to have a pc or laptop because of issues at home, and we thought that this would provide her with some much needed functionality.  Unfortunately, we didn't realize the limitations on the storage (no card reader) until well after we bought it (we didn't have much time to research it).  Since one of the main things that she wants to do, is to transfer pics from her camera to her tablet, for viewing, the lack of an SD card slot is an issue. 

So, after some research, I understand that with an OTG cable, the Import Media ap, and a usb card reader, she will be able to do what she needs.  (Rooting is not an option for her.)  However, I was just wondering...since there are a few micro-usb card readers out there now, has anyone tried one of these with the Nexus 7?  I am all for simplying where I can, and that would certainly be a better solution, if it worked.

Anyone?
