    I spoke to my local Argos Extra the other day and they said they won't be getting any in until around Sept 12th.

    Hey Damo! I've had mine a few weeks now and have had none of the problems mentioned around the internet.

    Is Nexus 7 this unpopular that it cant even stay on the first page. I haven't got one yet but would love to get my hands on one.

    Is there security filtering on the bluetooth? I tried to send a *.bin file to the tablet, but it gave me a message about not being able to accept such files and the process ended there.

    I've had no manufacturing issues with mine, pity you have to Root to access the USB. Google could have kept things simple and just activated it. I wouldn't have had much of a need to Root otherwise. My only other need would be a hosts file, but I could push a hosts file over easy enough.

    I don't think it's security but just an android thing, there's a lot you can't send by bluetooth, apk's being another. Wifi direct ftw :D

    Try using an app Bluetooth File Transfer.

    I think I'm having problems with my battery now. Plugged it in last night and when I turned it on this morning it didn't seem to have charged. I took the cable out and plugged it in again and it came up as charging. It seemed to be charging at twice the normal speed. I thought great. That was until I came up later and it was off again not charging and there seemed to have been a temp spike of 128 degrees which is probably why it powered off last night. Any ideas?

    I ended up getting Astro, some of the others were of equal quality, but there seemed to be messing about with ads and non working license keys with one of the other main (Bluetooth) competitors to Astro.

    Happy enough, used Astro before, Samba is a plus.

    Or upload to dropbox or similar then download to nexus 7.

    Is flash working correctly for anyone? The text seems to be gone haywire!

    Probably been mentioned a dozen times already, but just this one tiny app makes the Nexus 7 'complete' and normal, for me.

    Ultimate Rotation Control (free to use for 7 days)

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

    Ultimate Rotation License (€1.99)

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate_license

    The app is very passive, you set it on one of a few default behaviour choices and you're done, no more input needed.

    My Home Screen, horizontally, couch slouching bliss..

    It isn't a launcher (as I undertsand it..) as such, the only influence it has over any tablet or phone is screen rotation behaviour, nothing else.

    In any case, there's a week trial to figure out the app's usefulness.

    App causes serious lag on my nexus

    Have you tried a reboot since installing it? That seems to cure it for some. No issues here.

    Nice... but the OCD side of me would probably swap the middle folder for the thingy on the far right of the dock, giving two folders on either edge :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know of somewhere in Dublin currently stocking these? PC World are out of stock, as are HMV Dundrum (who said they won't be back in til' the end of Sept. due to a manufacturing error).

    From reading this thread I've now decided to join the hunt for a nexus 7 :):)

    OK, can anyone help me out here... I'm trying to get the free credit on my nexus tab but when I create the account with my gmail account, it says account already exists on this device and then on google place it connected me to the US store but I can't find anywhere I can get the free credit from... Anyone??

    Edit: Ok, the credit was added when I tried to buy something from the store so now I've got the free credit! :D

    How did you go about it, using Captain Morgan's suggested routine?

    Is there still hope if you've purchased Play apps over here using your Nexus 7 etc.. I've had it a few days now.
