    Anyone know what would be the cheapest/best solution for a wireless display adapter for a tv?Wouldn't mind trying it out.

    I'd be very interested in this too. Was on the verge of getting one of those Android in a box solutions but if I can just use Miracast on my Nexus 7, that'd do the job :)

    It would have a wireless display option in display settings.
    But from what I read around the web only the Nexus 4 version of JB 4.2 has the option.

    @dloob: Thanks for info, even though it's not exactly what I wanted to hear.



    When I bought the Nexus 7, was believing that I would receive all Android updates, looks like I was wrong about that.

    Where's currently the best place to pick up a 32GB model?

    I am going to get my mother a tablet for Christmas and I'll swap my 16GB into the box. Cheeky I know but it's only a few weeks old and like brand new.

    Anyone else getting this with Titanium since an 'update', rather than a full flash?

    4pointtwotitaniumerror.gif

    Titanium offers an update of SuperUser, but I prefer using SuperSU.

    There is Root, as everything else with Root is acting as it should, but Titanium can't see it.

    USB memory stick access is down too.

    Both problems are floating about with Rooted Nexus 7 users on XDA, but it is hard to tell how widespread.. and under what circumstances, update or full image etc.

    Of course, you are not rooted and the Nexus root tool doesn't work for 4.2 yet. Give it time.

    Performed an OTA update. I was rooted just fine.. and as far as I can tell, I am rooted now. It is a Titanium issue, for the moment.

    Useful post there dude. How is it being stingy? I need one with more storage. It's a couple of weeks old tablet yes - better than a cheap ass one and the reason I am giving something at all is to have something for Christmas day rather than waiting 2 months for her actual present which is a trip to see her brother in Germany:rolleyes:

    My original question still stands if anyone can help. Open to buying anywhere really if there's anywhere that has a decent deal or some extras. I know it's quite hard with the RRP the same for the most part.

    You sure, try do something that requires root, update Adaway or something. I was rooted and lost root after the update.

    Read a tweet today that SU is having problems but I think SuperSU should still work ?
    Hang fire anyway updates should be plentiful the more people that update to 4.2.

    I'm in Clonmel mostly, HMV seems to be the best option from reading around alright. I'll surely be passing one at some stage over the next few weeks!

    This seems to be case alright :(
    In fact, while Google claims the Nexus 10 can utilize it, the option is entirely absent. According to Ars Technica, a Google rep has stated the feature could be enabled in a future software update, but no indication was given as to when that might happen. The option is also missing from Nexus 7s and Galaxy Nexuses that have been updated to Android 4.2. This may be due to a lack of Miracast certification. It's unclear when or if the option will roll out.

    Titanium updated today, should solve your problem.

    Hi Guys

    Apologies if this is posted in the wrong thread. Im buying one of these as a gift for someone.. Ive looked around the android forum on here and not really found an answer... Just wondering if i get one of these will you be able to access the play store to download magazines,rent movies etc? I know we are limited to just the apps in Ireland at the minute...but is there a way we can get the full play store via vpn or something as i seen mentioned on a few threads before..?

    Any help or advice would be great?

    Cheers

    The Play Store is on the cards soon.. it is live in other European countries, so.. it'll either be late 2012, or early 2013 sometime.

    My wish is for easy access (say.. Tesco) to Google Play Gift\Top up cards, so I can top up my Google Wallet and kiss 3V goodbye..

    Many thanks for you reply Amalgram!!

    That would be a great approach with the top up cards in tesco or similiar.. It always seems we get left behind with these technology things lol..

    With not being able to download the mags or movies from play store,surely there must be other apps out there to install for these? i know netflix for movies..but duno for mags...

    Sorry for the novice questions..i dont actually own an android device myself..

    Hi guys, im considering getting one of these for myself while lounging around the house and not near my pc.
    My windows phone really lets me down as i cant watch live streams from twitch,ustream etc as WP7 doesnt support them.
    Im hoping ill have no such issues on a nexus 7, my wifes andriod phone streams fine.
    Overall how good is the screen quality on the nexus7?

    I think the screen is excellent. I use mine a lot for Netflix and haven't had an issue at all.

    Was also looking at 10" tabs but decided to go with the nexus. Have to say I find it a great size. Great for watching tv shows/movies. Would highly recommend it.

    Just reading the start of this thread that Abode flash player isnt supported ?
    Thats the exact reason i cannot stream twitchtv on my windows phone.
    Can anyone confirm if i can stream twitchtv on the nexus7?
    Id rather not have to do the workaround as mentioned in the first thread if at all possible.

    What do you mean? There is no workaround, you just download an apk and install it. It's just not available in the market

    I have Nexus 7 and was rooted with stock ROM so I could attach USB device to it.
    I installed the update this morning to 4.2 and went to re root the device using WugFresh Toolkit (worked perfectly before for me). Now it just says that it is "waiting for device to finish booting back up" on my laptop and on the Nexus I am getting the screen as per link below.

    Help appreciated.

    Press reboot, it sometimes doesn't do it itself, it will continue on after
