Hey All, I just downloaded a camera launcher app from GP. It's supposed to be a simple app, made for the N7, that launches the camera or cam.
Well, all I get when I attempt to open it is an error which says, " Undortunately, Camera has stopped." This app is called "camera launcher" and I've emailed the author so we'll see what becomes of it. I did try and uninstall/install but to no avail. Anyone else try this program??

Well, I just downloaded the Game Boy Advance emulator GBA.emu from GP. I'll have to explore it for a while to see how well it works. It was five bucks (!) but it got a lot of very good reviews, I'm hoping I didn't waist my $. I loved that device so it'll be interesting to see how closely the N7 emulates the GBA.
Also just downloaded SlideMe app store. I better be careful or I won't hve much of my 8GB left....

I'd like to replace the "Gallery" with 'JustPictures' but it wants me to hve an account with Picasa or Shutterbug or some other site. I was just trying to save a pic I have in DropBox to my contacts list. So I go to contacts, click on the contact I want to save a picture for and it says, " take a picture, or choose from Gallery" I loaded the pic into Gallery (and later tried loading it into JustPictures) but I can never find the pic when I go to Gallery, or Justpictures. I'm sure what I'm trying to do can be done, I just can't seem to do it in any kind of logical way. I feel like the Gallery, or JustPictures should be easy to load a picture in to, and then I should be able to go there from my contacts and assign that pic to a contact profile. Is there a better substitute for Gallery?? or am I doing something wrong??

Anyone seen this? I uninstalled beautiful widgets app and now I have a huge white rectangle where the clock widget lived. I tried rebooting but no change. Any idea how to get rid of that blank spot??

*update: This is REALLY getting annoying! I downloaded 'no wallpaper' app thinking it might over-write the big white box, but no luck. Now I have black screen with a big white window.... HELP someone!

Can anyone tell me why my wifi keeps turning off. It never used to do that. Yes, I have the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' set to "always" and I've stopped all the power/battery apps that might be turning it off to save juice. I have a strong signal, so it's not on the edge of reception. And I can always turn it on and it comes right on. But close the case, it goes to sleep, later I pick it up and... no wi-fi. What's with this thing?? It seems to have started since I rooted it but I've been told that rooting would have no effect. Any idears???

Hey all,
Seems like ever since I rooted my N7 that it has some minor problems. I didn't do any back-ups because I haven't got all that much 'personal' data on the machine yet. But the main problem I'm having, aside form little bugs in Asphalt 7, is that it seems to drop the wifi connection with my home network randomly. What's up with that?? It seemed to be very 'stable' when I first fired it, before rooting. What is it that makes it shut the wifi off at seemingly random times now?? Thanks for any replies,

I can't seem to make my phone and N7 connect with BT. They do show up as being paired but they don't connect. I make both visible but it seems like the BT on the N7 is just not working; that is the icon never turns blue like I think it should. Any ideas??

I have a rooted Motorola Triumph phone and I'd like to use it as a hotspot for my N7. I wonder if anyone is using an Android phone for the wifi on their N7.

I just downloaded 'Temple Run' and have been playing it a bit. Fun game with great graphics. It's the kind of game where you have to always be up and running... can't sit back like in the RPG genre which I love. But TR seems to work well on Nexus and I'd recommend it to those that like fast-paced chase type games. Good fun!

Will rooting allow you to remove programs that came pre-installed that you don't want/use??
Thanks,

I see there are several keyboard apps in the market and some with very high download counts! Anyone got a particular fav that works with our N7? They all seem to be compatible and very customizable so how does one choose??

Well, I don't like the blood and guts type games so most of the fancy 3d first person shooters are out for me. But man, is Asphalt 7 a cool game or what~! I can't get enough of that driver. Lots of custom cars, good controls, most excellent graphics/audio and just a huge world. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It's about the best I've seen since TmNationsForever/United. Looks great on our N7!

Anyone out there a little more familiar with Go Launcher that can give me some tips? I just downloaded GL Ex and I think I really like it, but...
It so totally changed my home pages and I don't know that I like the new look any better. I think I like the new functionality better though. Like now I have some 'lake' looking scene and not the Google background that I had grown accustomed to. How can I get that back? Also, where did my nice battery app go?? I see that they give me the option to download a 'Go battery' app, but I kinda liked the one I had before I launched GoLaunch Ex.
This app is so customizable that I'm sure it can be set up the way I'd like it; using some of my old widgets and some of the GL widgets, having my old background that came with the N7 and some of the newer features of GL, but how???
Thanks for any guidance,

I see a lot of games that have the initials THD in their title. Such as "SoulCraft THD". What is that about? When I Google THD I get 'Total Harmonic Distortion' or some hemmorhoid remedy.... and I'm thinking that's not what this is talking about. Clue me in, would ya?

I'd just like to report on the screen protector that I just installed. As you know, there are quite a few out there already and I can only comment on the SKINOMI without any comparison to other brands.
I like that they claim to have a 'lifetime warranty' however I'm not sure how it would apply to this item... They also have a toll free number for help if needed.
I ordered it from Amazon Prime so I received it in a couple of days. It comes with very clear instructions, including a YouTube vid on how to install it. Using the included lint free cloth, solution, and squeegee I carefully applied the skin. When finished, there seemed to be smudges or 'water marks' on the screen and I was a tad on the worried side... But, as recommended in the instructions, I didn't turn the N7 on for nearly 24 hours and just let it be. To my great relief, it now looks nearly perfect and works very nicely! It is nearly invisible, and I can tell no difference in screen sensitivity. I also see that it is much less susceptible smudges from my greasy little fingers; an excellent feature!
They also have a forum for their products, which I joined, and although no forum specifically for the N7 yet, I'm sure they will soon have more N7 owners registering.
So I would definitely recommend this screen protector as one of the best for the N7 at a very good price point; check it out!
