New Nexus 7 General Discussion Topics (2nd Gen) / Reset N7 like new, almost.

« on: May 21, 2015, 12:23:09 PM »

My N7 is about 2 years old, running 5.0.2. I was recently given a 4 year old iPad when my stepson upgraded. I would like to remove most of the Apps on the N7 and set it up to use as a reader only. I will need the WiFi to download books, but I think that is all I will need except for Clean Master.
I have been using it primarily as a reader but I constantly need to keep all the other stuff up to date, and the battery life is pretty short.
I need simple advice as I an not a Techie and my 82 year old brain doesn't work too well.

Nexus 7 Help / I need a decible meter for my N7.

« on: December 16, 2014, 12:21:29 PM »

I have a 2013 automobile that is driving me nuts. There is a lot of wind noise around the windshield.
I am going to tape up around the windshield, then fronts of doors and windows etc. so I can isolate the problem before I take it to the dealer. It would be good if I can show them the amount of wind noise I hear.
Yes, I did have my hearing thoroughly tested recently, they could not find anything wrong and would not sell me anything to mask the noise.
Can anyone recommend a sound (decibel) meter app that works with the N7?

« on: March 27, 2014, 01:13:59 PM »

I have been using N7 to read Kindle books for over a year but since the last Kindle upgrade I Can't remove books "On Device".
Until that time there was 3 horizontal square dots in the upper corner, when tapped it would give the opportunity to remove books but that has been deleted.
What now?

Nexus 7 Books, Magazines And Other e-Reading Discussions / Kindle on N7..

« on: February 15, 2013, 09:35:44 AM »

First of all, I am mentally challenged, so forgive my dumb questions.
I downloaded the Kindle App from Amazon, then downloaded many books. I read a lot.

Once the Library opens I have the following Folders:
Downloaded items
All items
Archived items

1. Which folder do the books get downloaded into from Amazon?
2. I don't know which of the 3 Folders to tap on to read a specific book.
3. Which folder do I go to to remove a book from my tablet? I can't remember the names of the books I have read.

Yes, I know I am a Dummy.

Thanks

Nexus 7 Help / Remove Kindle books.

« on: December 19, 2012, 10:41:00 AM »

I have download over 40 free books from Amazon using the Kindle App on my N7.
I have 2 problems:
1. When I have finished reading the book I spend about 10 minutes tapping my fingers before I can get out of that book and back to the book listings. Is there a simple way.
2. Once I finish the book and never want to read it again I can't remove or delete the book from the list and with my 80 year old memory I can't remember if I read it! Is there a simple way?

I have had the N7 for about a month and still have not found all the things it can do, it is a fantastic device for the Android crowd but mind boggeling for an ancient Windows brain, this is the only Android device I will ever have so I need to learn more about it.

I appreciate all the help I can get.
