Nexus 7 General Discussion / Re: Re: Google Voice Bloopers

Is this the Bushy Park high school in London, garryknight?  We lived in England (dad in air force).

No, it's Bushy Park the park, near Hampton Court.

I wanted Google Now to show me a map of Bushy Park and I now have "pussy pump" in my search history :-)

Nexus 7 Help / Re: How to delete
« on: September 24, 2012, 06:47:39 PM »
If it's a book you got from Google Play Books, open the app and tap on the pin next to the book. A grey pin shows that the book is removed from the tablet though still available to read again later. Tapping a grey pin will download the book and make it available offline.

If it's any other kind of book, how you delete it depends on what kind of book it is, but probably requires a file manager app.

Nexus 7 Help / Re: Loading Data Files into N7

Most people put their music files in a /Music folder but it doesn't matter as the media scanner will find them anywhere.

Nexus 7 Help / Re: what .chm reader?
« on: September 06, 2012, 06:17:46 PM »
Calibre can convert .chm files to other formats, eg EPUB. There are plenty of apps for reading EPUB format.

Nexus 7 Accessories / Known working USB-OTG cables
« on: September 04, 2012, 05:18:38 PM »
I couldn't find another thread and thought it might be useful if people were to post where they found USB-OTG cables that work with the Nexus 7.

IVSO® Nexus 7 Tablet Micro USB Host OTG Cable - Micro USB B/Male to USB2.0 A/Female OTG Host Cable for Nexus 7 (Black)

This one works with the Nexus 7 Media Importer app. It fits in the socket well, works fine for detecting, streaming, and saving files. I tried it with JPEGs, an MP3 music file, an MP4 video file, a PDF, a .doc, and a .xls and everything went OK.

When you save JPEGs you can find them in /sdcard/Pictures. MP3s go into /sdcard/Music, and videos go, oddly, into /sdcard/Movies. Most non-media files go into /sdcard/Download. As another reviewer has pointed out, the angled plug is the wrong way round for using with the N7 in a stand so if you've got the space, you might want to copy music or videos onto the tablet to play them rather than streaming them.

For the cheapest option, I.e. free, check out Kingsoft Office in the Play Store.

@madman84: Thanks for the heads-up. This is exactly how I carry my Nexus 7 around, though not while driving. I'll have to keep my awareness on my left cargo pocket a lot more from now on.

To get there even faster you could add a bookmark widget to your home screen.

Nexus 7 Help / Re: How do I use a mouse?
« on: July 30, 2012, 06:27:27 PM »
If you can't see the mouse pointer then you're probably not using the correct USB-OTG connector.

Nexus 7 Help / Re: Google Calendar

Unless you've changed its location, it's in the Google folder, the leftmost icon in the dock at the bottom of any home screen.
