    Tapatalk?

    OK. Between this forum of course and motorcycle/auto racing/radio control I frequent forums on a regular basis. I'm trying to understand what Tapatalk is all about. It appears at first glance to be nothing more than a glorified bookmarks app. I tried to watch the video on the app page but it...

    Squaretrade warranty?

    After dropping and breaking the screen on my first N7 I'm now running scared. Buying a new N7 just wiped me out. I can't afford another one or expensive repairs due to my fumble fingers. I've never believed in extended warranties but after going to the Squaretrade website this one looks pretty...

    Replacement Nexus 7. Now what?

    Some of you may have read my misadventures and the resulting cracked N7 screen. I'm still trying to get the memory wiped (with no success yet) so I can list it on ebay for parts. Now that I have another new unit I have a few questions: 1. Do I have to repurchase all the apps that I just...

    Broken screen. Any way to wipe memory?

    As I posted in another thread I dropped my N7 and broke the screen. It still has a beautiful display (through the cracks) but is unresponsive to touch so I can't log on. I just plugged in to my desktop and it shows up in the drive tree as Nexus 7 but no file tree. Most likely because I can't log...

    How could my day get any worse?

    I've been fighting a stomach bug all day. I somehow made it to quitting time (12:30 am) and then got the pleasure of riding the motorcycle home in a rain storm. Wait, it gets worse....... I pull my N7 bag out of the back pack. Take the N7 out of its protective bag so I can charge it and promptly...

    How to kill that blasted "airplane mode"?

    I work nights and I'm sick of this thing switching to "airplane mode" on me. I then have to go into settings and turn WIFI back on. Is there a way to completely disable "airplane mode"? Thanks. Joe

    Matte finish screen protectors?

    I finally found something negative about my new N7. Lighting glare on that beautiful screen! Wondering if anyone has added the anti-glare matte finish screen protector to their N7 and if they had any negative comments about them. I have a clear protector on my LG Optimus smartphone and it...

    First stupid mistake!

    OK. Just got my N7 yesterday and already screwed things up. I had loaded some music and played a few songs to test. They somehow ended up on the start screen. While trying to delete them from the screen I managed to delete the entire screen! All my fault I know but is there a way to bring back...

    Help The included music player........

    Maybe I'm just not seeing something obvious but how do you turn the damned thing off? The player works and sounds great. It would be even better if you could turn IT off rather than having to turn the phone off. As I said, I'm probably missing the obvious but could someone point out the Music...

    Help Video players?

    I don't intend to carry a lot of video on my LG Optimus C but I did want to bring in some "Trunk Monkey" videos to show someone at work the other day. They wouldn't play with the video player that came on the phone. I downloaded and installed MVideo and the same thing. I tried all video file...

    MicroSD card question

    I did a search here and didn't find much that was very current on the subject. I saw somewhere else recommending to use class 10 memory for fewer "issues". Obviously class 10 isn't the cheapest but if it saves me from weird problems then it's worth the money. What is the consensus on the...

    Another newbie

    Just got my LG Optimus C yesterday. Didn't realize what I was missing by not having a "smartphone". If my laptop and desktop computers were to die on me tomorrow I could still get by with only my phone. Just amazing what phones are capable of now. Joe
