Hey, I've been a great fan of Android Authority and to have finally come here is a fun trip to be inspired by Nexus 7. Thanks for your handy tips and sense of humor!
YEP. i was thinking about going for the 32 gig, but seeing that there are ways to use removeable hard drives/flash sticks on the Nexus 7, im picking one up in a few days, perferably the 16 or 8 gig. This video was AMAZINGLY helpful. Thanks for the upload, im so glad i subscribed to you guys.
Thanks for the advice. I was having trouble deciding between Ipad mini and Nexus 7. Think Nexus 7 is the answer. Most people on here seem happy with it.
Bought a 32gb Nexus 7. Kept it for like a week and returned it. All my electronics at home are by apple. I love iOS. Returned the Nexus 7 and probably gonna buy the iPad mini 2 when that comes out. Its really all preference between Android and iOS. Both are really good.
This is an excellent video. There were things I did not know about, Like the screen capture shortcut, that is useful to know. Definitely adding this video to my favorites. Again great video :-)
My best bro is loaning my 80 dollars and with that and my 125 I am going to purchase the Nexus 7. I think it will be a great device for school, web browsing, viewing movies from cloud, etc. As long as I pay him back 10 dollars a week in a month or so I will be paid off and enjoying my tablet
Can you use peripherals through a powered USB hub through the OTG cable, so that the device is being charged at the same time as you use the peripherals (kb & mouse)?
My notification bar it's not equal to the one shown here and it doesn't show the definitions on the side of the clock and no preview of the screenshots.... Maybe I'm missing something....
I compared both of them with the devices on my hand. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" is better than the Nexus 7 (2012 Version) However the Nexus 7 (2013 Version) kills the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0" and 8.0" and Nexus 7 (2012 Version) !
Thanks I'm not really computer literate &have being trying to use the card reader without much success. but watching what you did I finnaly got it Meany thanks :-)
downloaded Navfree from the Google play store and now have a Satnav that does not need internet accesss, so without whi fi I now have a worldwide sat-nav on my Nextus 7. Hope you enjoy, PD
Thanks so much for this info!! I was so happy to find that I could actually take screenshots!! That was my favourite thing on this video, thanks again :)
It is very easy to change it so that it does change orientation when you rotate it, and in fact, when I got mine, it already did change orientation when I rotated it.
Thank you! I am wanting to buy the Nexus 7. Where is the best place for the 32mb and 4g. I went to office depot and the tech guy said they do not offer ones with 4g
What's the version of your Nexus 7? Mine is 4.2.1 and the notification dropdown is separated from the toggles. Swipe down the top left side of the screen u can see notifications and the top right side of the screen opens the toggles.
Thanks for the informative video! Now for a quick question, I was thinking of buying a back-up/portable battery for my nexus and was wondering if any of them would work as long as the usb cable fit, or if the battery has to be rated a certian mah? Thanks for your time.
Power and volume screenshot does not work on my Note 2. I thought it suppose to work on all Android. I find so annoying not have a physical home button. I use my Nexus 7 as a car gps and I have to keep fiddling with the side buttons. My note 2 home button makes all the diff.
I have the Nexus 7 2013. I followed your directions for saving the screen. It seemed to work as described. However, I don't know how to access the saved file now. What do I do?
hello AA, here is the case, i got iPad 3 and im planning to buy a nexus 7 because im searching for the problem with nexus 7, do u have any tips that i need to know before i get the nexus 7?my friend say he get a screen lift.. thx alot for response :)
Great tip on how to raise the volume with the volume+ app. I thought my unit was defective. Now the volume level in perfect. I guess Google thinks people are too stupid to turn the volume down. Thank you!
i actually got swype because i wanted to see what it was like. (i recently got fed up with it so i changed back to the default keyboard) when i switched back i realized the the keyboard actually has the swype feature already in it!
any tips on reading large pdf files, mine just slows down to a halt, was hoping to use this tablet as a construction plans pdf reader/storage. Tried adobe app, plus some others, it does open from the download app but is so slow, anyway to increase cahe size of apps cause I'm thinking thats the problem thanks
there is only one flaw with the moko case and that is when you flip the cover all the way over the back camera is blocked but I have this case and I like it
dude i just bought an OTG cable..and tested...to my surprise the Nexus 7 supports mouse and keyboard without root.....whats disappointing is that the main purpose for which I bought the cable doesn't seem to work..i.e the usb flash drives or pen drives in other words are not supporting..i am using nexus media importer...still...
i got the 32 gb for christmas and i charged it as i play it but instead of the battery percentage going up it goes down and now i charge it for like 10-20 min it stays at 0% wat is wrong???
Hi my nexus 7 that I got for Christmas is nice but the styles that came with it will not work on it .I have one that I tried on it and it works fine. Do you know what it could be. Please let me know
i have some problems with my nexus 7 first my chipset is getting hot i was sure it isn't normal but i had nothing to do just to use it normal now here comes my big problem since i've upgraded my software from4.2.2 to 4.3 my tablet started to lag in games in real racing 3 and plants vs zombies the game stops and enters in pause mode and in gta 3 it lags before the update the tablet was running smooth and perfect my tab isn't rooted and i don't want to root it please help as fast as you can thanks

That is a really good guide. Especially to those who may have little or no knowledge about Android.
dude the usb thing is such a large advantage I was contemplating to buy this and now I know im getting one!
Thanks for the advice. I was having trouble deciding between Ipad mini and Nexus 7. Think Nexus 7 is the answer. Most people on here seem happy with it.

Solomat brother. I just got my nexus 7 yesterday. 32gb. Great video. Peace from Jamaica

Just got my Nexus 7 as an early Christmas present and it is freaking awesome lol.
My best bro is loaning my 80 dollars and with that and my 125 I am going to purchase the Nexus 7. I think it will be a great device for school, web browsing, viewing movies from cloud, etc. As long as I pay him back 10 dollars a week in a month or so I will be paid off and enjoying my tablet
awesome video the guy speaks straight and clear no pausing or umming and ahhing good stuff...I just got mine will be here in 3 days
Just got my Nexus 7 and I found this vídeo very useful. Thank you
Thank you! I don't even have a Nexus but I had no idea Keymonk even existed. Thank you for that :D
If google made the bezels on the Nuxus 7 smaller. This would be the perfect 7' tablet. It would be PERFECTION
For the USB adapter, can you save other stuff other than pics n music?
Can you use peripherals through a powered USB hub through the OTG cable, so that the device is being charged at the same time as you use the peripherals (kb & mouse)?
My notification bar it's not equal to the one shown here and it doesn't show the definitions on the side of the clock and no preview of the screenshots.... Maybe I'm missing something....
Can someone tell me if the Nexus 7 2012 version is better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0" and 8.0" ?
Its not
I compared both of them with the devices on my hand. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" is better than the Nexus 7 (2012 Version) However the Nexus 7 (2013 Version) kills the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0" and 8.0" and Nexus 7 (2012 Version) !
I believe the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is better. My Nexus 7 keeps breaking.
And I'm posting this on a Nexus 7 :3
And the 2013 version.
getting one at the end of the month.
my girlfriend already has one and im really excited about the stock android experience
i heard that the home screen does not go in landscape mode in another video review
Excellent tips and hints - thank you from the UK
Thanks I'm not really computer literate &have being trying to use the card reader without much success. but watching what you did I finnaly got it Meany thanks :-)
thanx..and can I use a mouse or a game controller through the OTG cable...or do I have to root for that ?
Does the OTG trick work with bigger external hard drives as well?
downloaded Navfree from the Google play store and now have a Satnav that does not need internet accesss, so without whi fi I now have a worldwide sat-nav on my Nextus 7. Hope you enjoy, PD
Thanks so much for this info!! I was so happy to find that I could actually take screenshots!! That was my favourite thing on this video, thanks again :)

It is very easy to change it so that it does change orientation when you rotate it, and in fact, when I got mine, it already did change orientation when I rotated it.
