Is the HSPA+ model available anywhere for pick up? Would rather not order from Google Play if I can avoid it...

Wondering the same thing

 

[ThatObviousUser]

but quick settings are still there if you pull down from the right side or am I misunderstanding you?

If you pull from the left, notifications. Pull from right, quick settings.

Now I have to remember to always pull from the left. Might be different on smartphones.

Speaking of the HSPA+ version, can I just pop in my tmobile cell sim and it would work on it just fine?

Sweet I got the update ota. Last time it took four or five days.

Keyboard works ok so far. Definitely better suited to thumb typing on a smaller screen though.

 

[Mairu]

I keep hitting update now

Google hates me

 

[Agent X]

I'm still not seeing any sign of the Android 4.2 update being available for my Nexus 7, even if I go to Settings and manually check for an update.

Same here.

No GPS toggle in quick settings

i see what you did there google

 

[ektoll]

! I just wish they allowed us to connect an external HD so that I could have access to more media stuff but I realize you can't have it all!

Well, with an OTG cable, it's possible, isn't it?

Can someone explain how to stream with Google play music?

I've installed it on my laptop and Nexus 7 and uploaded a few albums to my Google music account on my laptop.

Then on my nexus 7 (which has no music installed what so ever) i open up google music and click on 'All music' and see nothing?

I thought it was supposed to show the music i uploaded and let me stream it?

Am i doing this wrong?

It should show up. Are you sure you don't have the "show only music on this device" on?

 

[joeygreco1985]

I got the prompt for the update, but I'm not sure if I want to install it yet. I have my 4.1.2 Nexus 7 unlocked and rooted, and I changed the DPI setting to get the Tablet UI. Not sure I want to lose them just yet. Can I get the tablet UI back with 4.2?

 

[catashtrophe]

Just thinking, i'm still on Jelly bean 4.1 (in the UK) and not got the update to 4.2 yet so could that be the reason i can't see or stream what i've uploaded?

Make sure you sync your Gmail account (on your Nexus 7), if you have syncing turned off or only sat to run a few times a day it won't refresh any content.

 

[Cigol]

Man has gone from buttery smooth to noticeably janky, hopefully just some kinks that need airing out but otherwise impressed with the swipe keyboard, which is pretty awesome coming from native, and the multi user support.

OTG doesn't seem to be working at the moment under 4.2 either.

 

[RevDM]

Anyone in US update yet?

 

[fluffydelusions]

I want the 3g one but I don't want to order from Google play

 

[BFIB]

Nothing on mine yet.

What is the best app/method to text from your tablet using your phone number?

 

[DoubleTap]

OTG doesn't seem to be working at the moment under 4.2 either.

It still works for non-rooted/nexus media importer app.

Also, I can't buy anything from google play. This is pre and post 4.2.

 

[CountAntonius]

I'm wondering this too.

Google Voice

Nah, for me that may as well mean it is still broken. That isn't an acceptable solution. But thanks for the info.

 

[joeygreco1985]

Alright so I bit the bullet and went up to 4.2 and rooted. I'm not happy with the new UI at all, even after switching the DPI to 160. It looks like the phone UI. Pretty disappointing

It takes a while after the first sync in my experience. Is some of your music still uploading? Is it in your Play Music web app when you check on a PC?

 

[CountAntonius]

Google Voice

I think he means using his own cell phone number. Is this possible in Any way? I still own a flip phone and would rather text from my tablet with that number if I could.

Can I get a step by step how this is done? I've tried out before bit could never figure it out. I have a Google voice number but I want to text using my cell phone number.

 

[coopolon]

Yes, got it last night at around 7 EST.

What did you want to text with, the Nexus 7 or your phone? Is your phone a dumbphone or smartphone?

 

[Bollocks]

Yeah I'm not a fan of the new design either.
First off, the new look screen is atrocious and the way it prompts itself every time I turn the device on. Also the current time looks bad with its 2 font sizes, wtf.
Is it me or have they slightly increased the overall font size for labels, like in Gmail? Which in turn looks bad.
Also why would they make the homescreen icons smaller in the bottom row if the overall height of that bar stayed the same? Makes no sense.

Keep it simple and elegant like I used to Google.

 

[CountAntonius]

Dumb phone. I already text on my nexus using AOL what I was wondering is if there was a way to use my dumb phone number to receive and send texts through my nexus 7?

Yes it does, it works with Jelly Bean which 4.2 still is. This isn't a full new Android verision. Adobe says Key Lime Pie is when the Flash APK will no longer function.

I guess it's JBean 4ever then... until the end of time

maybe I can someday install windows 9 pro and have a neat full fledge 7" PC that or ubuntu

Right then I've uploaded 5 albums to my music account on my laptop and when I use my nexus to log into Google music via the url it syncs my music and let's me stream my music on my nexus.

But when I got into the Google music app and click on all music nothing is found. Does this only work if I log online using the Web and not the app?

 

[slaughterking]

Just got 4.2 pushed to my N7. Yay.

 

[zero_suit]

Finally got the update. Woooo!

 

[T.M. MacReady]

mine updated last night. clock on the lockscreen is now bold and ugly.

 

[hemtae]

I just got the update

 

[CountAntonius]

Still waiting on my update.

 

[vdlow]

What have you done with my speakers, Google? They are sounding so much better after 4.2. Almost like a new speakers.

Check the settings in Google Music and make sure your account is connected.

 

[slaughterking]

mine updated last night. clock on the lockscreen is now bold and ugly.

And when you click on it it does something completely unnecessary.

 

[BFIB]

Just installed the update, haven't had a chance to mess with it.

Except to see the horrendous clock.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Since photosphere is irrelevant on an N7, what should i be looking for in the update?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Well, after playing with my wife's Nexus 7, my dad decided that he wanted one. He's always been anti-tablet in that "what good are they?" sort of way. So he when he said he wanted one, we knew he was really impressed. My bro and I just pitched in and ordered him a 32GB for Christmas.

Now we're hoping he doesn't just go out and buy one first.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Since photosphere is irrelevant on an N7, what should i be looking for in the update?

Multiple accounts, lockscreen widgets, wireless display, Google's SWYPE, quick settings and improved Google Now.
