Documentation for N7 is an embarrassment (including the N7 "Guidebook").
N7 seems like an excellent product, but no idea how to use its many features/options without endless experimentation.
A real frustration.

Would like to mute the N7 speakers and play sound through my headphones. Thought N7 would work like every other device I've used -- plug in headphone jack and sound transfers. Does not happen with my N7! Is there an option somewhere I' should have set  Sorry for the dumb new-user questions, but blame it on Google for their absurd "non-documentation" to accompany such a fine product.

Wondering how folks shut down their N7
Sleep mode allows for "instant on" but consumes power. How much of a battery drain?
Of course "power-on" action uses extra power and ages components.
What's the best policy ?

Finally had a chance to try Skype on my new N7.
Voice quality was good, video quality was fair-to-poor as expected -- but it seemed to work!
Encountered a problem -- received video on N7 was fine (landscape orientation) but window with senders (my) view was upside-down. At the other end received video was correct orientation, but of poor quality.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How to fix orientation?

Another dumb question from an N7 newbie
When I power off N7 and charge from wall outlet I see a white "charging" graphic on black screen for a few seconds - then totally black screen.
Is this normal?
How do I know that N7 is fully charged? How much time from empty to full-charge?
How do I check remaining battery time?

New to N7, so pardon this dumb question
When I press N7 power button I see the first screen I see following boot-up is Time-Date and a Lock icon. Touching this expands icon to show a choice of Google or Unlock.
Is this the way N7 normally starts? Why the "lock" mode? Any way to go directly to "unlock"

Is there an easy way to verify that the N7 webcam is working?
Thought I could do this from Skype (for Android) but I do not see their Tools utility in this version.

Just purchased an N7 (now available at Sears w/30 day return option --a good deal!).
New to tablets and Android. Aside from the user guide that came with N7 is there a "getting started" posting on this forum or a recommended web site. My immediate needs are e-book reader, web browsing, e-mail from ATT/Yahoo, Skype, must have apps.
I'd like to break free of Google Play and customize N7 to meet my specific (and minimal) needs.
Any help or advice much appreciated.

N7 in stock at any of the popular internet (aside from Google Play) and box stores?

What does it mean to "root your N7"?
Why would I want to do this?
Any downside to this?

Any happy users of Skype video/audio on N7 ?
Heard that there were some initial problems with this.
Any other (free) apps that allow voice calls from N7 to telephone?

Hello from gp123. No tablet (or even a cellphone) yet but seriously considering Nexus7 purchase. Depends upon how well it meets my minimal needs -- book reader, Skype communication, easy e-mail (g-mail and ATT Mail) read/respond, easy intenet surfing via wifi, ability to port web software applications.
Optimistic that my needs will be easily met. What do you think?
Waiting to hear the opinions of N7 "first users".
Regards to all. Happy to be here.
