You'll also need to consider the regional variations of app purchases, something you buy in Canada might not be available here in the UK and vice versa.

and I wonder how you sort that one out?

Thanks John

So I can purchase the apps in the second account on the first machine but I'd need to download them on the second machine?

Thanks John

Is it possible to set up a second user on my Nexus 7, buy and configure the apps I want to run then buy a second Nexus 7 and login in as the second user and see all the apps etc?

I'm in Canada and the one to be set up is in the UK.

Thanks John

Mentally I was thinking of a headset that had a microphone since that is what I use on the Windows machine and of course the Nexus only has a head phone socket.  Blue tooth is a possibility but which one works reliably with Nexus 7 plus there aren't that many conventional headsets with microphone that cover both ears.  My hearing isn't what it used to be and Skype is clearer for me these days than a conventional phone.

I tried just using headphones last night and that was a lot better than the speaker so using the built in microphone is a possibility except of course you have to hold the device in you hot little hand when making the call and sometimes I want to use my hands to find something written down etc.

I get the impression that I’d need operating system support for anything on the USB port or I’d need to root out and get out a few UNIX tools so technically possible but doesn’t appeal.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'll like to use Skype with a conventional headset so both ears and a microphone.  Any suggestions?  Possibly using the USB port?

Thanks John

Nexus 7 Help / Re: DVORAK keyboard?
« on: October 11, 2012, 11:52:46 AM »
I haben't used this keyboard, in fact I've never used a DVORAK keyboard but try to change the settings...

Menu> Settings> Language & input> Keyboard & input method...

Here next to the DVORAK keyboard you'll see three sliders, this is the settings so select this and you should be able to find the settings to change the keyboard.

As for the security warning, you'll get this for any 3rd party keyboard because in theory the keyboard can learn what you type including usernames and passwords.

DVORAK is not on the list of keyboards on my Google Nexus 7, I can see multiple keyboards including French, Russian, Thai etc but not DVORAK.  Perhaps the new operating system update will correct this.

I installed it, got a security warning, selected it and still got the standard qwerty layout.  When I read the specs on the Nexus7 I seem to recall mention of a DVORAK layout there.

Nexus 7 Help / DVORAK keyboard?
« on: September 18, 2012, 07:06:22 PM »
I'm used to the DVORAK keyboard layout these days, how do I get one on the Nexus 7 instead of having to hunt for the letters?

Thanks John

Nexus 7 Help / Re: padlock symbol
« on: September 11, 2012, 07:50:40 PM »
Apparently you need to move the icon down the screen to the bottom to unlock it.  The other issue about the keyboard not being present, apparently you have to touch the screen in the email name field before the keyboard appears.  Neither is mentioned in the quick start guide.

I found the "Recovery mode" then pressed the power button and got a Google banner which remained on screen for at least six minutes.   Only after I'd tried that three times with the same result did I find out about the unlock my moving the icon down the screen.

Many thanks

Cheerio John

Nexus 7 Help / padlock symbol
« on: September 11, 2012, 05:48:02 PM »
New Nexus today, I wasn't able to enter a gmail account as no keyboard appeared.  I was able to connect to a wifi network.

Now a small padlock icon has appeared so how do I get rid of it?  Is there some sort of reset button to take it back to factory defaults?

Thanks John
