Hi Guys
Thought I'd post a warning about the Nexus 7 and the pattern lock feature.
A friend of mine let his daughter play with his nexus while he was out driving and she inadvertantly entered the wrong pattern lock a number of times.
Now you may be aware that if you do this, you'll be asked for your gmail account and password to verify your account.
The only problem in this instance was that wifi wasn't switched on when it was locked out, and you need to be connected to the net to verify your account.
No matter what we tried we couldn't get into his Nexus, so he was going to bite the bullet and hard reset by holding vol down and power. But after trying this it just gets stuck at the google symbol, there's no android on his back with a red triangle.
Thank god for the internet after a bit of searching found out the Nexus has a bug and it needs to be connected to a pc to do a hard reset.
We sorted it in the end, after a couple of hours scratching our heads lol, but he learned a valuable lesson
