Nexus 7 Help / Battery stats
« on: July 21, 2012, 11:07:51 AM »
When I go to "settings" and "battery" my N7 shows 88% for screen.  I show nothing for wifi, even though it is on. 

Anyone else show these stats?  Just curious.

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Lower-priced Nexus 7
« on: July 18, 2012, 11:06:33 PM »
I'm wondering if this is for people who don't want the in-store credit?

Don't know how else they can offer lower price...plus can not figure out how to buy

Nexus 7 Help / Drop down menu
« on: July 18, 2012, 09:19:49 PM »
Is it just me or is the quick menu hit and miss in JB?

On my other tab (with ICS) the drop down menu always opens when I touch the task bar.  On the N7 I have to hit it just right to get it to open.  Of course, the shorter clock status menu drops, just not the larger one.

Anybody else experience this?

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Battery Life
« on: July 16, 2012, 08:51:30 PM »
Any secrets for keeping the battery up on your Nexus 7?

I know it has a nice battery life, but looking to keep it that way.  Should one let the battery discharge completely and recharge to 100% the first few cycles?  I heard that, while not advertised, you could replace the battery down the line if needed.

The Lounge: Off Topic Forum / Chrome
« on: July 06, 2012, 10:46:47 PM »
I love Chrome now and it is twice as fast as my stock browser, but it doesn't offer  a desktop site except for each individual page (read, manually check after each page loads).  Does anyone know if this will change or if there is a workaround?

Please don't ask me to try Opera or Dolphin, also slow.  Maybe that is the reason Chrome is faster, because it is not loading the desktop site.

Not Gorilla glass, just scratch resistant?

Nexus 7 General Discussion / USB Storage
« on: June 30, 2012, 01:25:38 AM »
These new articles are not encouraging...let's hope there will be a mod without too much bulk (USB power source, etc.) or having to root.

It is puzzling how Asus was going to offer the MeMo 370t (before Google got a hold of them) with all of the Nexus 7 specs plus SDCard reader and HDMI for $249. They would not have offered that setup if it cost them $248 since they do not have a Google store to profit from post purchase.

It looks like that 'cloud' is turning gray.

It is still a great tab for the price, I'm just glad I ordered the 16g.  :-\

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Color?
« on: June 28, 2012, 10:10:32 PM »
Has anyone noticed some videos/images show a brown rubber back and some show a white rubber back?  I wonder if it has to do with the 8g or 16g model.  That is the only spec difference I can think of.

New Member Introductions / Hoping for the best....

First of all, thank you Rob, for taking on the huge task of getting this forum started and moderating.

Me?  I'm just here to learn and share knowledge on the Nexus 7...probably more to learn!

Now that it is out and the rumors are over, I think it is a great tab for the price.  I ordered the 16g in case the USB doesn't accept adapters (SDCard, HDMI, etc.), but I am optimistic that they will work fine.  The screen, processor, and 4.1 look great.

This will be a fun tablet and this will be a great place to check out mods, updates, etc from all the creative minds out there!
