Nexus 7 Help / How do I add a language to the keyboard?
« on: February 22, 2013, 12:44:26 PM »
New Nexus, and now I can't remember how I added a second language to it. I am an English speaker living in Sweden, but need to occasionally use the extra Swedish vowels. On my old Nexus I was able to make the keyboard so it had a button I could push on it, and it would switch to Swedish and let me use the vowels, and then I could touch the button again to go back to English.

Now when I try to do language things, it just switches the whole thing to Swedish, which is not at all what I want.

Can anyone help me?

After this is done, then I need to tackle getting Swype back on the device!  :)

Nexus 7 Help / Where to find the lock for the screen orientation?

I've just upgraded to a new 32Gb from my old 8Gb model, and now can't find where I lock the orientation of my screen in a particular way. I locked my old one, and used it through all the updates, but now can't find one?

Can anyone tell me where to find this? Thanks in advance!  :D

How did you swap the batteries?

If you opened the devices, then you have invalidated the warranties anywhere.

The back of the device just pops off, like any other mobile device (not made by apple anyways). The only difference is it doesn't have a little slot to wedge a finger nail or small screw driver in. The battery is a plug in module. I do not believe that there would be any way for anyone to know I had opened it, so I doubt seriously that I voided the warranty.

And even if this was true, it would be a moot point if there is no way to get a hold of anyone to service it.

The link didn't take me to any phone numbers, it took me to a form to fill in, and in the device block it was a drop down menu with zero options, and then when you hit enter, it gives you an error because you didn't select anything for the device block.

And no, it is not because of a dead battery that I would give up on a Nexus, it would be because I can't get it serviced. The same reason I no longer buy phones made by HTC or Sony Ericsson.

Well THAT was a complete and total waste of time. What happened to the concept of customer service? *sigh*

I am just going to end up eating a 200 dollar device because of this crap.

The google drop down menu had nothing in it for the device name, so it wouldn't let me go any further.

I won't be buying another Nexus, even as much as I like the one that still works.

My bad I guess, I assumed the google maps got its fix from the IP address being used. I haven't used it outside except to read books.

I found out about the GPS antenna when I popped off the back cover for an ongoing battery problem I'm having, and saw the three antennas mounted inside of it.

Your warranty and purchase should be tied to your mom's Gmail, since she purchased from Google. Send it to her and let her initiate the service request.

My mom is 75 years old and would be completely overwhelmed by such an undertaking. I really need to figure out how to do this myself. She was only able to order them with my help.

Also my mom doesn't have/use gmail.

Especially since I can't find any sign of the Nexus 7 having GPS capabilities?

Nexus 7 Help / Dead battery, how do I get warranty service?
« on: December 02, 2012, 07:39:20 PM »
My mom bought both my son and I Nexus 7's last August when we were in the states visiting her in Ohio and gave them to us. She ordered them through google directly. We brought them back to Sweden with us, where we live.

Now my son's battery seems to be dead and it won't charge. I have switched the battery between his and mine, and the won't charge problem follows the battery. My battery charges just fine in his unit as well.

I asked my mom if she still has the receipt she undoubtedly got from google via email at the time, and she doesn't and her email only keeps stuff she discards for one month. So I don't have a receipt.

I am assuming these things have a one year warranty, although I don't know that for sure. This product is so new, all of them should still be under warranty, right? So the receipt shouldn't be that much of an issue, especially since google must track these things by serial number?

So, my question, does anyone know what I have to do to get google or Asus to replace the battery in my son's Nexus 7?

I thought to just buy a new battery, but the only one I could find online was 90 bucks, which seems a bit extreme for a 200 dollar device. My son loves his (as do I, actually) and I would really like to get this fixed. It is only 3 months old.

My kindle folder currently has another folder in it marked acw and nothing else, and the acw folder is empty as well. Or so they seem. Where are the files that are currently on my nexus 7 kindle app?

I'll try that, but am unsure of how I will be able to see them on my kindle app.
