4oD service for Android mobile devices so i here is out! Android-optimised version of 4oD, you can catch up on viewing from the last 30 days and have access to a selection of our extensive back-catalogue of programmes. I haven't yet tested on nexus but will do! http://apps.channel4.com/app/4od-on-android-mobile...

Just wish iplayer would catch up and allow offline viewing by downloading!

This needs further investigation... like how tf.
Very easy to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpn603oZbIQ

I got it this morning.
Just been updated, no idea what the gestures are need to do some googling!

I have tried again 4OD offline but no luck but I can watch 4OD OK but can't see how to watch offline so I have emailed them!

I repeated gingerbread text worked OK! Have you tried the 3 little dots trick top right when double tap if on full screen mode. Grid mode hold down finger mode to delete.

Channel 4 have replied quickly!
Thank you for your email regarding 4oD.

Unfortunately at this moment in time we do not have a 4oD Android app and we do not have specific troubleshooting steps for Android devices.  All we can advise is that you have the latest Flash Player available for your device and have sufficient Internet Connection to try and view from the following link.
http://m.channel4.com

We are looking into making an Android app due to the latest Flash Player changes on Android devices.  However we have no timescale on a release date for this at present.

Grrrrr!

The 4.2 update screwed up mine. It stopped the Google play store working. I couldn't work out how to delete the Google account (which is apparently the fix) so I had to give it a Vulcan nerve pinch.

If you've updated, check that your store account is still working.
No problem for me so far! You can force stop Play under the apps under settings all apps!

Mine has been playing up since I updated. In Firefox it keeps closing tabs. I'm not sure Bluetooth is working properly, either.
Firefox updates daily at the moment! New version seems OK!

Got my n7 a few days ago - very impressed so far.

Also have a full size iPad which will still get used for 'couch surfing' but the n7 works great for on the move. I travel a lot and find this is the perfect size- more so than the iPad mini which is still too wide for one handed use.

Couple of questions for N7 users..

Any must have apps and games?

In the play store how do you tell if an app is N7 optimised as opposed to apps made for mobile phones which look rubbish on the n7?
Hill racing climb is good but short! Total agree a lot of the games are designed for phones! Grr. Angry birds is a very addictive game!

Just had my 4.2.1 update. Now my flash player won't work, so no 4OD. Wish I had not done the update now. Can't find a link to get a flash player that works with 4.2.1. Tried XDA but no luck. Anyone else had this bother
Try installing XBMC with the 4OD plugin. That works OK for me.
I presume you are using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1...
I had to back track to version 11.1.102.59.

So all I need to do to avoid any issues is download a firefox or similar app and then follow 1 of the many guides out there for manually installing flash?


Finally, does anyone know anything about either of these adapters, seems a rather sleek way to more than double your storage. Would rather not have a cable and can't believe there are not more adaptors like this available.

Surely with the popularity of the Nexus it's only a matter of time before there is a direct micro usb -> micro SD adaptor??
Yep flash installed as you've said no problem. The micro usb would work but not used the one in video. I have adapter from Amazon and I have connected up my usb 1TB powered hard desk no problem.
