Nexus 7 Help / Charging N7 Battery

« on: August 21, 2012, 09:15:20 AM »

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?

Nexus 7 Help / Start-up Screen

« on: August 21, 2012, 09:08:14 AM »

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"

Nexus 7 Help / How to test N7 Webcam?

« on: August 21, 2012, 08:56:24 AM »

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.

New Member Introductions / Getting Started with N7

« on: August 19, 2012, 10:25:32 PM »

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.

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

Nexus 7 Apps / N7 Working OK with Skype ??

« on: August 17, 2012, 09:22:57 AM »

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?

New Member Introductions / Greetings from (Mills River) Western North Carolina

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.
