I've read people saying to turn off auto-brightness, might want to try that.
This seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot.

Does't this make the screen stick out more though?
I think Emily said tightening the screws cause the screen to stay put, but that there's no cushion there, so it still creaks a bit when you press down on that area. A bit of foam there would keep the screen from budging when you exert pressure. I dunno, I'll see exactly what Emily meant by that when I try to open it later tonight
Edit: after reading that quote you linked to... Maybe you just need to tighten the screws real good...
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.

You can even download the PC app and sync your library wirelessly. I did this and it was glorious.
They must have accidentally applied all the torque to the boxes instead of the screws.
Which websites? They have digital DC comics? Are they cheaper than Comixology?
where is this app you speak off. i dare to explore its vast wonders.
Comic Rack Free
Comic Rack $7.89
The free version only has USB syncing. Which would be fine it if actually worked for me. It seems random if people can get it working. Good way to try it out though.
awww hell. finally gonna read all the crap on my laptop if this works. thank you good sir!
Nexus 7 suffering from screen separation in some cases, untightened screws may be to blame

looks like its an issue that affects a bunch of people.
Such a fucking hassle to have to ship back to google, mine that's coming tomorrow better be flawless.

Yep, but apparently not till late monday so it didn't count as a day or something. Or I don't know.You still didn't get it yet? Didn't it ship on Monday?
hurr hurr I'm sure they'd botch that tooI'm sure they offer some kind of expedited return option.
Album art looks terrible on the screen. Pixelated messes... disappointed. Still, having 320kbps audio from the PLAY STORE is a nice surprise.

it's simple as shit to fix though
just did it
rip off glorified battery cover
loosen screws on left side, apply pressure, rescrew firmly
seat left side of case first then plop it back on
less then 2 minutes
feels like a rite of passage now like circumcision for every nexus 7
Word.Just got done here myself. Coming from an iPhone/iPod touch background, that was simple as shit. Only the iPhone 4 was easier to take apart. No more loose screen

It's my favourite tablet keyboard.
What resolution is your album art? The stuff you buy off the store looks good to me. Not fantastic, but not pixely. 500x500 is what most of my personal music art is in.
Just discovered XScope browser and this is way better than chrome, you get gesture based browsing, full screen mode and most importantly the inertia based scrolling tons better. It was annoying the crap out of me how many flicks it took to get to the bottom and top of a page in mobile GAF while in 100 PPP, and this browser has alleviated that greatly
tested video playback for a bit, so some observations:
- stock player lacks features compared to ios, namely audio stream switching, embedded subtitles, and video resizing (ie. basically everything). I thought I read in jelly bean's changelog something about ttxt subtitle support, and there's a subtitle setting in the options, but I couldn't get it to work. also, it doesn't respect mp4's default stream tag, so it's always the first audio track. I don't use a third party video player in ios, but that leads me to...
+ mx player is great. hardware acceleration, audio stream switching, subtitle support, video resizing. only gripe is that the bottom bar reduces to the dots, and I couldn't find an option to fully hide it. not sure if this is universal among third party apps, or if it's possible this will be changed in the future. it's distracting
+ es file manager and skifta are both better than the free ios alternatives that I've tried for smb share browsing and dlna, respectively
- got some stuttering with high-ish bitrate (>8-10mbit average) 1080p, even right up against the router, so wifi performance is a bit lacking (or my router is busted). here's a snapshot from my router for the speed difference (both 2.4ghz N), ipad first which played fine, then the nexus 7, which stuttered at roughly half the throughput:
overall, it's decent enough for 720p video watching. I can't figure out a comfortable way to hold it while it's horizontal besides using two hands or propping it against myself while lying down - and for both of those cases, it feels like I may as well just use a larger device
That seems to be an issue with the Nexus 7. It works in MX Player on Galaxy Nexus for example which has the soft keys on the right instead of the bottom. So that is probably the issue. This issue is not present in VPlayer on the Nexus 7.
EDIT: It's one of the latest issues posted on the Google Group for the project so it will probably be addressed.
dispatch notice.... abt 2 hours ago.... finally....
hope so, don't need any special screwdriver or anything do you?it's simple as shit to fix though

Thought I would show my battery Usage.
Ok I have side loaded flash but it won't work stating incompatibility with jelly bean, any help?

Maybe because on iOS iTunes converts your videos to the only format supported on the device before copying them...? Also, who the hell have ever used the stock video player on Android..? MXPlayer or BSPlayer man. I use BSPlayer because it reproduces more formats by hardware.I don't use a third party video player in ios, but that leads me to...

It desperately needs a widget though, make it happen!!Thanks for the tweet lanes suggestion. Easily my favorite twitter client on Android so far.
Stock player is as it is because with every codec added there's copyright issues I guess. It's the same with Windows, first thing you do is download VLC or name-your-player because WMP does not play almost anything.eh, first time using android. I don't see why the stock player needs to be This barebones. it's not like I'm not asking it to play mkvs or avis, either, just mp4s I've encoded for awhile now that work with the features I mentioned out-of-the-box in ios
doesn't matter anyway, since mx player is really quite good. I don't think there's anything comparable in non-jailbroken ios, due to the restrictions, but I haven't checked recently. and of course, being able to set your own file associations is awesome as well

Honestly?
Forget about flash.
For now anyway.... Webmasters need to move to update their shit.
Bearing in mind I'm new to andriod (first device) do I need to download Avg for andriod or any other kind of security software??
EDIT:
Oh and I felt smug a fuck using my N7 on the train to work, especially since everyone else was using kindle ebooks or iPhones to amuse themselves (no KFire in UK) , got some curious looks as well
