Thanks chaps, i'm new to Android as you might have guessed so it's taking a little while to get used to everything.

The only thing i can't understand now and something which is quite worrying is that i bought a 32GB model but it's only showing that i have something like 23GB left after installing a few apps like Angry Birds, Google Drive, etc. None of my downloads have been above 40MB so i don't get it, surely the operating system isn't that big.
There may of downloaded offline data like maps for nav data. I would worry I have early versions 16gb and don't run out. You just have to be careful. With http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Cable-Galaxy-Toshiba... and a cheap app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.... you can read data from any usb1 data but can't write to usb. I have connected my 1TB hard disk to N7!

I believe that this was an introductory offer, which I expect has long since expired.
The latest ones have a free copy of ice age available to download. Can't remember where I found it as I've rooted and installed a custom rom since I got it.
You should find it on "play movie" app looks like a red film.

You owe it to yourself to spend some of it on gta vice city, and another quid or so on the six axis app if you have any ps3 controllers lying around :-)
Hehe now that is tempting!

I wonder if you can use a Ptp camera for Skype as the inbuilt camera is so bad!

I think that PTP only works for 'still image capture' devices.
Shame :-(

Having issues with my nexus, it keeps freezing for about 30 secs where you can do nothing, can't even turn it off.

Sometimes it comes back to life and you just carry on or it turns itself off and you have to wait another minute or two to be able to turn it back on.

Anyone else having these issues? It's a 16gb version which still has 13gb free.
Any no play approved app running? does it occur on the same app running and all up to date? Sounds like an app that is badly programmed!

I think all my apps are from Google play and it occurs mainly when I'm using chrome to search the net, all updates done.
Quick Google they recommend hard reboot but some say a case with magnet caused a problem others had problem with wifi.

I am always in 2 bars as other side of house from router! I do find holding with both hands covering the back reduces the wifi sometime to zero. I hold it away from body by the case for 5sec when that happen and then no problems.

Hmm, I must have a dud frown

I'll check with a friend's case to see if the issue is my case or my tablet.
Try and find the magnet in the panel with something magnetic, mine is all over the side where the on and off switch is! They may of sent you the wrong case.

Same idea, less money - had mine about 5-6 months & its holding up well.
I bought the above one very good but wish I bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Slim-Fit-Multi-Angl...
As I bought one for my brother as touching the very edge is a lot easier.
