Googles Nexus 7 tablet discussion, reviews

[Radar]

I like that, takes a bit of use to lose the old habit and learn a new one but I prefer having the settings easily accessible.

New clock is a bit naff.

I had great craic trying to find the setting for dev mode, I ended up finding an android easter egg before managing to toggle it on. 4.2 is a bit different but I supposed we'll get used to it.

Anybody got cerberus flash installed yet ? I rolled mine back to stock 4.2 and it really doesn't want to go into recovery mode.

a quick google does seem to suggest it's going to more or less balance out the same cost buying a new one as getting the screen replaced

Could you sell the cat or the cats organs?

Cat gloves, ideal winter warmer.

woke up this morning, wandered barefoot into the kitchen, steeped in and slipped on some cat slick and dropped my nexus 7 on the floor, completely smashing the screen

Just popping out to tyhe local IT repair place now

On the plus side, it sounds like you have the beginnings of a good blues number there.

OK any suggestions for watching stuff on sites that require flash as flash does not seem to be downloadable any where.

 

[what]

May have found a solution using archived plug in from editors earlier Suggestion but then have to use Firefox as it does not work on chromr

 

[thriller]

Sometimes my screen doesn't turn on.

 

[Firky]

Sometimes my screen doesn't turn on.

You mean when you press the button? I have a case so it switches on when I flip it open, the rest of the time it is in a dock.

A dock, you say? Pics, if you puh-lease.

 

[wtfftw]

Yes, when I press the button. And then I press it again and again and then I put it down for a while and don't panic. Later it's fine.

Should I try waving a magnet at it next time to see if it's the screen or the button?

Well more of a stand than a dock for when it is charging.

I'd raise a ticket with Google and maybe look at a case (they're about a tenner)

Sounds like a dodgy switch. Send it back!

That's silly cheap for what you're getting.

You have to buy a case to get £20 cashback. Getting ours tomorrow for babydoll. May play off carphone warehouse against currys. Apparently cpw have it for 179 and currys do pricematch plus 10%
