If you used something like Apex Launcher, you wouldn't need the app

Is it just mine or is the file transfer over USB very very slow?

I thought it might be the drivers so installed them from the Asus website. That just made the device unrecognisable via mtp so had to roll them back.

It took an absolute age to transfer my calibre library over. My HTC One X is 3-4 times faster transferring the same files.

The nexus 7 is quite well known for having very slow internal I/O so I wouldn't worry. Annoying but perfectly normal!

Now where's my ota update •taps fingers•

So what does this update actually give me?

And does the landscape mode rotate the lock screen too?

I'm personally praying it solves my intermittent non responsive screen problem. If it doesn't its going back as it drives me mad!

Good to know it's not just me!

Still waiting on my update too.

Yes it rotates on lock screen too. Plus performance and bug fixes. Don't know the details though.

This seems to have pretty detailed info about the update:

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Is this as responsive and smooth as the ipad2?

Didn't work for me unfortunately. I noticed it reset the day of last update to sometime in 1970

Just tried to run the OTA update on my Nexus 7, and it failed. My device is rooted which I guess is the reason why. I have Clockwork Recovery installed, so can I download the 4.1.2 update from somewhere, and then use Clockwork to install it manually??

Jim.Ow · 12 Oct 2012 at 12:52

I'm taking mine abroad next week so need a case, as I haven't dared take it out of the house yet.

There doesn't seem to be a typical case that everyones buying, so I'm after a few opinions.

I don't want anything too bulky, so no slots for cards or pieces of paper, not essential to have a stand but would be nice. I'm wondering if the Official Nexus one would be best?

Having it rooted won't be the reason it will have failed. As looking on the XDA Forums:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928731

Those who have rooted and unlocked their device have had no issues. They do say they used CWM to install it. So give that a shot and see how you go.

Just looking at the last couple of pages of that thread (over 60 pages) and it seems some people have ran into issues. Think it's hit and miss whether or not you are rooted and unlocked.

Me, personally, I am in no hurry since Apex Launcher already allows me to use landscope at anytime I want. Wonder if it will resolve the low volume issue I have since had.

I know I keep banging on about the poetic case :rolleyes:

, but imo its the best looking/slimmest one. I have mine back up in Loughborough so when I finally get home this evening I'll check that out and give it a little review. Cover is "smart" style so it rolls to form a stand as well as waking the screen.

All of the above could end up being complete lies, but at least you'll know then
