Turning off 3G

I am stunned to hear that you don't have the ability to run straight WiFi right out of the box. If true, That sounds like an irresponsible design. I could be wrong but I still think there has got to be a way without pulling the card or having to use a third party app.

I'd be surprised if the stock Power control widget didn't allow this?

Open app tray, select widgets and find the "Power control" widget.

Are you guys saying I can't use wifi w the nexus 7 32mb? I cared mostly for the memory.. Ill send it back.
I want wifi for home and 3G or whatever AT&T is offering for away from home.
My wifi is strong as hell and no way would i find a SIM card sufficient.
Please let me know...
I read it has wifi so I'm confused

Basically if I don't put in a SIM card it should work... On wifi.
iPad w 3G capabilities allow wifi so why not the nexus?

Hi NJ. I love the NJ  shore myself! Avalon,  AC.
I don't own a Nexus with 3G but I know it has Wi-Fi capability. It has been a while since we discussed this but have you not tried to use Wi-Fi yet? Have you tried going into settings and wireless connections at the top? Can you try and sign on to a Wi-Fi account and see what happens when you travel in and out of range. I am hoping that the 3G automatically gives in to a known Wi-Fi connection.
Important!  Please try the power control widget that jayj mentioned.  It is built in to your device.  You should be able to toggle Wi-Fi and 3G off and on I would think.
Happy Holidays
