That's bizarre because it's working perfectly for me. I searched for the title in the store, flicked down to the bottom of the reviews, flicked back up to the top, and downloaded the sample. Then I started reading the sample. No problems. ???
Actually wait, dolphin browser update broke it. Now I need to find another browser
Firefox works with Flash. Will need to get the APK from a place like 1mobile. It's also available from Mozilla themselves. Though when going into full screen on many sites it doesn't stretch out in landscape.
Some folks seem to claim it doesn't, but seems to be working fine for me. The voice typing triggered by the keyboard is different than the regular one, though, and seems to be a little...messed up. Works when it feels like it.
Other than that, I agree--best tablet keyboard hands down. Even more useful on a 10".
Yup, works great.
no wait go to dolphin setting and turn flash the FUCK back on....
srsly thats what I did with the latest update
you are not taking away my FLASH
no one is...
Flash is not dead it is UNDEAD
You guys should use Firefox for Flash. I find it runs it the smoothest by far.
hmm how come it still works for me ? I just checked I'm on dolphin 8.6.0
and I'm using flash right now....
firefox doesn't work on tablets now ?
I wonder if I can even side load it like flash....
Love this keyboard, I have it set to small and offset to the side for landscape mode, works great.
With the Windows Phone skin to boot.

Any game recommendations? I've got $25 to waste.
(Preferably ones that take full advantage of Tegra 3.)

Just download the apk from their site
Right now it's ta Tweet Lanes beta. Install the apk here.
I prefer Solid Explorer. It's vaguely holo themed.
Swiftkey has a free 30 day trial version of their tablet split keyboard if anyone wants to try something like that out.
EDIT: Beat me!
Yep you can sideload it.
Plume or Tweet Lanes. The Tweet Lanes tablet app isn't on the store, but there is a link to it in this thread a couple pages back. It's limited in some of its features right now, but it's probably the best.
ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer

Was it seriously that bad? I liked mine. Well, I liked it until towards the end of the year I had it, because it started to get really slow and laggy, which convinced me even more to make the jump to iOS even faster.
God, the more I read of this thread the more I want one of these tablets faster. I wonder if my local GameStop has any...
Comixology to buy comics
ACV and/pr Comic Rack for cbr and cbz
I also see Perfect Viewer mentioned a lot but I havent tried it myself.
Download em all and see which suits you best.

I didn't read my own avatar and now everyone knows I'm not too bright. :(
ComicRack for comics i downloaded? i mean like not through Marvel, DC or Comixology?
Yeah, afaik. ComicRack is just a cbr/cbz reader that is very well executed. Even the free version is great.

Dead Trigger, Modern Combat 3, Dark Meadow and Shadow Gun come to mind. Reckless Racing 2 is a great game as well and very pretty
The developer says he's working towards a tablet UI over the next few weeks. His app has come on in leaps and bounds in the last week alone... So I see a great future for Tweet Lanes.
You can even download the PC app and sync your library wirelessly. I did this and it was glorious.

I thought Komiks was the one to have according to sanjuro. Is comic rack better for the tablet?
Ugh, do any? I have a bunch on iPad that use google drive (I use drive to store my comics)
I assumed most would being android and all
I haven't been able to get Komik to work. I like ComicRack a lot though because of the syncing..
The $25 dollar credit is per account and not per device btw, so if you're willing to log in/factory reset/log in /factory reset, you can have a lot of Play credit.
I'm not saying I'm gonna do this, but I'm probably gonna do this if they haven't shut it down by the time I get mine in 2013.

Doesn't appear to be any right now. I've seen other apps that support it so hopefully they update for that. What you could do is install something like foldersync that has Drive support. That will download the Drive files (comics in this case) unto an actual folder on the tablet which any Comic viewer can point to.

Thinking about picking one of these up. I saw on the Play store that people with Game informer subscriptions can get a digital version that works inside Google Play. Has anyone tried this yet?
edit: nevermind, it doesn't sync up. You just sideload a pdf file I guess.

Should've done this when I rooted. When you just login to another Google account you can go into the store and get it to ask you to add a new credit card toy our play account to get $25 too. I did that, but no money

Does't this make the screen stick out more though?

Oh, and how in God's name do I connect to a WPA2 Enterprise wireless service? It's not in the list of security options when creating a wireless connection!
Anyone else having issues with the charger? I had this happen with OG Droid. When you plug it in the screen (or something) does not like it and will become unresponsive. Sometimes even performing random phantom presses. I've read about it before and it has something to do with either not enough current or too much. The little bricks seem to be cause. Maybe it's the surge protector i'm plugged into. All I know is that it scares me.

I'll give this a try tomorrow. Was pissing myself and my boss off to no end that we could connect this tablet to our network. Had to use the public network which is always dropping us off after 30 second of idle time.

That's a solution? That's straight up horseshit.
And for the record I did google "Nexus 7 wpa2-enterprise", but good luck finding anything like that.
Ordered in June, not a word about shipping. Put a cancellation request three days ago, and they have not gotten back to me. Decided to Contact Google Canada, they said "you should get it in two weeks". Even though I can walk into any store in Toronto and buy it since last Friday.
The way Google handles Canada is an embarrassed.

My gripes so far:
-Can't use Chrome in fullscreen mode.
-No HBO GO app.
-No CNN app.
-Tablet just froze up. Completely unresponsive...had to take icons/buttons multiple times to register a press. Ugh.

yeah I ended up using my longer Galaxy Nexus wire instead weird
Mine too! FUCK YEAH.
Mine does not seem to charge much while it's in use. Might be because I use a 8 foot wire I got from monoprice.
It says it's charging through AC?

What this guy from XDA did finally got my nexus 7 feeling solid and non-squeaky, exactly the way I would have expected it. At least I didn't have to return it.
edit: nope - back with a vengeance

Yeah and it charges fine when the screen is off. It just stays at whatever % it was at when I plug it in and use it at the same time.
