    I think it's just the guest network at work.
    It must be blocking some ports, google now voice commands don't work while attached to it either.
    Seems fine on my home wifi.

    Dont suppose you have a link to where these might be on sale?


    The link will not be up until this Friday (Black Friday) on the Staples/Office Depot.com websites. A quick google will show you the reports of the reduction from $249 to $229 for Friday in these stores.
    The only problem is that I think it will be extremely unlikely you can order online form Ireland in these stores.

    Has anyone found a way of using the nexus for presentations? I saw someone recently hook their i-pad up to a standard overhead projector using a cable adaptor & was wondering if anyone had got cables etc that might make this possible?

    Check for updates on the Play store, I had the same problem but after an update all was well.

    Just got the update on mine - no lag so far and its on stock android.
    Anyone else finding their battery life is gone to **** since the update? Google Services seems to be the highest battery use now; put it down last night at about 85% left and when I looked at it this evening its down to 14% :(

    I bought a 32gb Nexus 7 in Argos in Portlaoise on Friday.

    I had reserved it, saw it on an ad in the Star, but when I went to the shop, it didn't appear on the self check machine.

    I went to Customer Service and they said they had 10 in stock, so I reserved it and collected on Friday. So it might not be up on their system, but they might have it in stock, so best thing is to call in and ask.

    I got it for 239.99 by the way.

    Google Currents was found to be slowing down 4.2. if your seeing your N7 slowing down or your battery going down faster try open Currents, hit settings and unchek background Sync and restart.


    Edit: post above says same thing....

    Hi folks. Thinking of getting a Nexus 7 3g. Are the3g models available in Ireland? From what I've seen , there is not much reference to them here on these forums which leads me to believe they are not sold here?
    Cheers

    I think you can only get it on the UK play store...you need tunnelbear or other VPN service to access the store, parcel motel for delivery, and new google wallet account for billing purposes (add parcel motel postcode to billing address or change credit card delivery address to parcel motels address)

    Theres a user on the other thread who is thinking of selling his that he ordered by mistake (last post)

    Thanks, will give that a go. I've not noticed any lag issue but hopefully this will fix it anyway.

    Ok, so I struggled a little with the title... :pac:

    Figured it would be useful to have a separate thread for people who already own this device and would like to discuss useful apps, info about rooting, acquiring google play credit and so forth!

    Heres a useful link regarding flash support to get the ball rolling. :)

    And some other useful tips regarding USB device mounting. :D

    Ya I ordered it. Be patient as it does take a good bit to get here but you should have it in the next week i'd imagine.

    I really like it but I kind of miss my nexus by itself. Still out of the cases, it's really good. And as an added bonus, it turns it on and off too.

    Most likely its locked, try swiping down from the top right-hand side.

    Was hoping this week but sure its coming from china so going to be patient. Also to the turning on and off part the bloody tablet keeps waking its self up! :mad: Whats this all about have it sitting on the desk here and screen keeps randomly turning on hopefully its a bug and not the hardware. :(
