That is the way you set the wallpaper - it's to stop the picture getting stretched out of proportion. I find it irritating as I like simple wallpapers and that makes it a fanny in a fit.

But you have to pay postage!two pounds cheaper from their ebay store as well
*edit. ah., but it's still cheaper on ebay!
I think I have to sell my N7 
Not because I don't love it but current financial needs must it seems.
Looking on eBay the used 'buy it now' prices for a 32GB start at £180 + £10 postage and auction prices are £150-160 + £10 postage. Considering mine was purchased 31/10/12 and has box, receipt and case (RRP £29.99 but really £12.99) it seems like it should get a fair price. The plug is still sealed, only thing that I took out the box (apart from the tablet) was the cable.

Sorry to hear that Badgers.
Don't mean to add salt to the wound but I'm loving mine. I've gone back to Swype for the keyboard, had it on my S2 but swapped for Swiftkey. It feels good on a tablet.

Got mine today in the post. it's not a bad machine.
it's small compared to a lot of tablets but it's actually just about right for me as it's small enough to put in my oversized pockets but big enough to actually feel like you can watch video on it.
also given the price point i'm a lot less worried about it compared to my phone.

Factory reset wouldn't change OS
You can use the Nexus Root Toolkit to wipe and restore the original . On startup tell it the version you want to go back to, it will pull the OS image you need itself. You want to do a "Back to Stock", followed by a OEM lock.
NRT can also walk you through making sure your usb drivers are working correctly if need be.
I'm surprised you're seeing problems with 4.2.1. Have you installed any new apps since the OS upgrade ? Have you looked at the app stats to see what's taking most of your battery ?

Cheers not sure I want to go down that route unless I really have to. My current battery usage is just over 70% screen, chrome was next at 7% and I am not using anything new. . I might try it with a lower brightness and see how I find it.

Auto brightness seems to make a big difference to the battery life IME.

Hey, can you let us know if it does sort it, cos I'm holding off getting a receiver until it's sorted? Ta.

Busta Rhymes is an unstoppable movement
What do people use these for? There's no camera, the games are in-app-purchase-to-the-max shite, I can't surf the web on the train with it cos there's no 3g (I know there's a version with it). It's all very smart and slick and looks lovely and it's a nice, clever gadget but I'm really struggling to know what to actually DO with it.
It's a genuine question, what do you use yours for?

King of the Vagabonds
Personally, I use mine for general web and forum browsing (WiFi at home and at work, tethered to my phone when out and about), reading books (esp. in bed and on the tube), reading the news via Flipboard and the Guardian app, as a remote for my TV, for task management with the Trello app, watching TV in bed, basic document editing via Google Drive and (when they fix the streaming issue) playing music from Google Music/various streaming services, via a bluetooth speaker. Other stuff too... It's better for maps than a smartphone just cos of the bigger screen. A bit of gaming, but mostly just Angry Birds-type stuff.
