Thanks, I will try the cache clearing suggestion.
When I look for reviews I see that many things are said to crash, so I don't worry too much, but assume it is harder making apps work consistantly on the multitude of devices Android is used on.
Tower Defence was the example I gave as it is the most recent, but I have had it with numerous apps.....though it mainly seems to be games.

Yes, I sometimes force apps to close, or kill them. But I don't tend to use many anyway between restarts.
Latest game to suffer from this is Tower Defence which is otherwise very polished. It starts now but will crash very quickly.

New to Androind - Nexus is my first device (well my third now as two have broken)...anyway, I see error message, very often saying "xxx has stopped working" with options to report or click ok.
Now this bothers me because of the frequency of it...it happens very often and I have gamas that I can't play anymore
It is because Android is a multi platform OS, or is it Nexus related, or have I just been unlucky?
Don't run a lot of backgrounds apps, but do have "living wallpaper".

My first Nexus I had for a couple of weeks in the UK and then spent some time driving through France. everything worked perfectly, if I needed anything i stopped at a McDonalds (free wifi) and downloaded what I needed)....until the Nexus actually stopped working which was a nightmare as I was using NavFree to get around!! On my third Nexus now

Tower Defense is brilliant. Works great on the Nexus and is not ad heavy (there are some) and although yoyu can buy upgrades, you don't need to - well rounded and excelllent Tower Defence game.
I am struggling to find games that tick all of the buttons except tower defence games on the Nexus. They are either, poor, not suited to 7 inch touch screen, buggy, ad ridled, too expensive or just plain rubbish. The amount I have uninstalled quickly is very high.
I am looking forward to Baldurs Gate.

Just asking! I can't do it for the life of me.

wild stab in the dark here - but worth checking.
Are you using one of the protective covers that lock the Nexus when you close them (not sure how they do it, but mine feels magnetic). Well mine now sometimes causes the screen to lock if it is folded round the back (didn't do this before) which isn't as intended.

I have no problem using my skydrive. I use skydrive browser on my old nexus and the Skydrive app on my new one. I have not tried reading .pdfs though. I will upload one tonight from my PC and see if I can access from my Nexus.
Can you open PDFs from a USB with your nexus or from a NAS or share using ES File explorer?

yes thanks - may try that.
I would rather get a new screen and try to fix myself, but only if I had some indication of roughly when we might see them on the market.
I can't seem to find any out there.......or much talk of when we might see them.

ES File Explorer and MX Video - this allows me to watch movies from my NAS anywhere in the house.
FilmOn - Free TV, great qualit yand lots of channels
BBC News App (or similar) - Great for quick refernce to stories in the categories you want
Kindle - if you like books
xScope - if you need to see flash on websites like FIFA Ultimate Team Web App!
Evernote - great app that you can use from all sorts fo devices
Skydrive - if you use Skydrive
Best Apps Tells you best Apps
NavFree - excellent free satnav

Hi,
I have a broken screen on my Nexus. I called ASUS support who were not the best. They said £45 to look at it and then labour and parts. They said they had no idea what the final cost would be and no way of even finding an estimate for me.
The store I got it from said they could repair, but at a minimum of £170 and probably more. As they are £199 I got a new one.
So, I have a Nexus 7 that has a cracked screen and does not respnd to touching the screen, so can't be unlocked.
It is not rooted and I assume I can't do that when it is not screen responsive.
I don't want to sell on ebay with a number of my passwords saved on websites and my email set up in case someone can access them somehow.
Do I have any other options?
Is it best to hang on to it and hope cheap screens will be released for home fixing? Or is it only good for spare parts or the bin?
Thanks
