    Post Has anyone actually received kit kat update yet?

    android 4.4 Kitkat arrived on my Nexus 7 today. I'd been checking ever now and then so I was happy to find the upgrade was now available. There was a message saying the upgrade was available through Nov. 26th. I never remember seeing anything from previous updates.

    Thread Opening PDF web links Automatically

    On the Nexus 7 (2013) with JellyBean 4.3 I've found that I can't open PDF web links automatically. Ipad Air does this automatically, but, on the Nexus 7 (2013) I can't access them. Do you have any recommendations? P.S. There doesn't seem to be a way to download the link. It just opens in a...

    Post Nexus 7 2013 vs iPad Mini 2

    Apps Apps are an issue with me. While I adore my Nexus 7 2, lots of apps come first for the iPad and only secondarily for Android. Then many are phone based, not tablet based. I'm planning to buy the iPad Air for the larger form factor and for access to some strategic apps for web designers...

    Thank you for the suggestion, but I noted your reference was in the developer forum and I'm not a developer. If I tried this and something didn't work I'm sure the vendor wouldn't take this back.

    Post [Q] Bootloader Screen - What has happened?

    When I press the volume down button, it cycles through these options: start, start rebooter, recovery mode,power off, I pressed the power button when it was on start. Then google and the pulsating x come up...but so far it does not boot. If the unit is going to reboot, how long should this take?

    You're never going to believe this but the stylus seems to be defective. I've bought several of this brand before and never had a problem. The bloody thing doesn't work on any of our devices. Until I found another stylus I could try, I didn't know this was the issue. Back to Amazon it goes.
