Well, it's arrived!

Looks good so far, although I've only been using it 15 minutes!

First thought is that I'll need to download a new keyboard so that numbers are easier to type without shifting!

I knew it was going to sync all my contacts and mail and stuff, but I was rather surprised to see it installing all the apps I have on my phone on this! Can I delete them safely or will they delete from my phone too? Don't necessarily want the same on both!

Swift free is a trial tablet which is very good https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com....
Loads of different setup! There is a full version for ££ but is cheap! As for the app don't know sound like it is your profile so may delete it from your profile, must be a settings somewhere. Doubt you will run out of space unless you download loads of music and videos!

Mine is always a connected to the power or in sleep mode. But I suddenly realised once I noticed it was down to 40% after took it to work always on sleep mode that the wifi was always searching. Turn wifi off when on sleep mode made a big difference I very rarely turn the machine off.

Going to give that a try today, leaving it on, but Wi-Fi off.

There is a button on wifi advanced to turn off wifi when on sleep mode.

Do these have GPS - I fancy a big SatNav ;-)

You don't need 3g to get GPS either, the wifi model also has it. You can download areas of Google maps for offline use or use a proper offline nav program like Copilot.

how you do that then

Very good maps for UK you can download a lot more countries free upto 12 but postcode for setting destination aren't that good in some area.

By automatic upgrade or did you sideload it yourself?

Automatic upgrade the only side load I have is flash!

I have noticed that since patch my speaker is distorting a lot! I presume they have upped the sound volume. I've downloaded an equaliser to reduce the bass and turned volume down to almost half. Twas a crap speaker to begin with and I just a v low background hum with head phones.

Anyone know how to set a default browser?

I've downloaded firefox for the occasional flash use but much prefer using chrome. However this seems to have made firefox the default browser.

Can't you just un-install Firefox the will make opera default when you reinstall Firefox you should be back to normal. There is probably a button but it's not obvious!

[Baron Greenback]

Does your N7 get turned off often or always on sleep mode? I think if it is always on sleep mode there so many temp files and other crap it's good to cold boot even now and them!

[Baron Greenback]

I prefer Met office app and it has a 4-1 or 2 widget which I like.

[Baron Greenback]

I have the same case and works great. Mine didn't come with the screen protector for but not worth it unless you have muddy fingers environment! The magnet works fine for me I have had no problems like others users previous in this thread.

Bought this one for my brother wish I saw this one for me http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008Q7DDIA/ref=...

Is a must to access data from usb storage!

[Baron Greenback]

Don't think I will as I will have to constantly take it out of case all the time! Too expensive for just a docking station.

Just seen accuweather just been updated for those who wanted a few pages back!

[Baron Greenback]

Find it weird that my battery is being used even though it's connected to mains supply. The wifi is turned off while on sleep can't see why the battery is being used!

[Baron Greenback]

I didn't get along with the standard keyboard. Am using the swift but the split keyboard so I can type in portrait mode with 2 fingers easily. I find with swift the dictionary and auto fill is a lot better than standard keyboard.

I think the access for open source software is a plus for nexus but the apple software will crash less often. Not saying android will crash more often. I don't like the way apple tie their developer down writing and financially.

Apple linking to additionally hardware will possibly more than nexus.
