Nexus 7 (2013)

Thanks for that @wotzgoingon even though we are running the latest jellybean, had not known of holding down on notification to see where it was coming from.

This app was able to find the offending program causing the ads, which i promptly uninstalled.:)

Hi fellow Nexus 7 fans,

I have been following this thread for awhile, as have been thinking of upgrading from my iPad 1 which I love, but it's getting slow and running out storage. So today I picked up a new 32G Nexus and an Lovin it. resotred all my apps from my Galaxy S3 no problem.

However I use an app on my iPad called goodreader for storing and reading PDF and various text docs, it also has a great interface to my cloud drives. Could anyone recommend an equivalent app for the nexus 7, and also an app for note taking with a stylus.

Many thanks for all the great posts in this thread which helped me chose the right tablet for my needs

I don't know about the PDF one but maybe this. Someone might tell you something better.

For note taking this is good.

Why not try using a different keyboard?

Is this the keyboard click you're taking about?
Hold down the mic button beside the ?123 button and select the settings icon.
Sound on key press can be disabled here.

While strict speaking not in the Republic, I got a 4g version from the O2 shop in Omagh. It isn't network locked so will take any network mini sim but it can only handle data, not calls or texts. So if you're going up north soon you should be able to get one from any O2 store up here. Probably worth calling the shop you intend to buy one in beforehand to check that they have stock. You can buy one on the O2 UK website and have it delivered to an O2 store in NI as well but I'm not 100% how this goes for Non-UK residents.

I am thinking of picking up the 32GB version.Where is the best price online to buy one ?

Just ordered one of these. Is it possible to attach a external hard drive with a OTG adapter? I hear some some work, some don't. How can I get flash? What apps are recommended also? Never had a Android device before

Yes you can connect the otg to a hard drive but you must install nexus media importer (free from the playstore) you can download flash and just install it. Flash won't work with chrome so you need to install another browser,I find Firefox works well with flash content.

I had to root my nexus 7 in order to install adobe flash player.

No, you definitly dont need to root. I am running stock and can use flash no problem.

It would let me install after I downloaded the file. Tried everything. Once it was rooted it would however.

Was 'install from external sources' ticked?

Yes. Everything that could be done before rooting was tried. Glad I rooted it anyway mind.

Its fairly straightforward,you just have to set up a google gmail account, it will guide you along when you turn it on.

This is a great 'how to' starting point after she gets it!

As said before, you don't have to do that. You simply download flash lib directly from Adobe website and allow to install from 'external' source. Flash works as a charm, even on Chrome, which was said online that it may not work with
