Ah, excellent, cheers. Works like a charm, and I also found my phone supports Bluetooth tethering out the box. Hopefully leaving BT on all the time isn't going to munch the battery?

 

[Devious]

Think I might have to get me one of these.

 

[Slyman]

Anyone else suffering from lag when the storage is almost full ?

I deleted loads and still no joy, did a factory reset and it is a little faster but not much

Using Andro Bench I get these results after reset !

Was mentioned on The Register the other day

Is there any way to 'force' apps to work in the Nexus 7 without root or anything when you know they will work, its just lazy developers who haven't updated their apps?

Case in point: Worms https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5lYS53b3Jtc19yb3ciXQ..

I've got that installed on my Nexus 7!

Maybe it's because I've done this:

Did you just download it from the market place? As it won't show up on the 7, and if I browse the website from a PC it says its not supported.

Yeppp... plus if I go to the play link via Web it says its compatible with all my devices.

 

[Skeeter]

I think you must have modified some settings when rooting your 7.

The only options I have found involve rooting.

Tempted to buy my own one now, had so much fun fiddling around with the one at work.

Hmm.

16GB available from Tesco for £180 (or £175 with cashback):

So I've got myself an OTG cable. Exactly how do I view files within my USB stick? It shows it's connected, but I cannot find them :/

I am using Stickmount to mount the stick and it knows it's plugged in. Thanks.

 

[Martini1991]

Try a file manager and navigate to them?

I did. I use ES File Explorer and I just couldn't find them or the USB stick. I'll give it another bash tonight. I might have missed something.

Is the stick formatted in NTFS? IIRC it didn't work for me on the S3 and I had to use "Paragon NTFS&HFS+" to access it.

 

[rickjames]

This is too good to be true yeah? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Google-Ne...s_eReaders&hash=item2c68476cbf#ht_8459wt_1139

 

[e36Adz]

More then 10 available too. I'd have one at that price! Seems a bit dodgy though, I'd wait until there is more feedback.

 

[tom_e]

Probably but if you can afford to be without the cash for a few days then pay using paypal and you're all covered when it doesn't show up.
