Damn the cases must sell out quick. I placed an order on Friday and they are already back to Notify Me status.

Good times!
I am not using a case... but I did pick up a $6 neoprene pouch to keep it in when traveling.

If nothing my other nerd friends are helpful - I pretty much buy whatever the guy the next row over buys

1) No and many people are upset. Seems like something that will be fixed eventually. 2) Not officially. Flash support was discontinued in Android 4.1. You can still use flash by getting the apk and an older version of Dolphin browser. Unfortunately, Prime videos can only be watched on the Kindle Fire.Sounds like the Kindle Fire might have been a better fit for your needs..EDIT - I see Jaysus disagrees on #1. Might depend on the magazine?

Didn't do this for reading. It's the one magazine I get that has digital.I have a prime video apk on my phone so going to see if it works on my nexus
Also will see how much I "miss" flash - but flash was great for watching prime through my phone browser

Maybe amazon will make an app for the regular android software in a year or two of course.

So you used your tablet?
Jaysus
Good times!
yep, and I think I totally could have bedded the teenage goth chick working at the CVS register, that is how impressed she was.
Teenage goth chicks love android 4.1+.

Quality information.

Were you buying Depends, old man?

You can watch Amazon Prime videos on the Nexus, but you have to install Flash manually. It's also not a superb experience like watching Youtube or Google Play Movies because you can't make it fit on the screen right. It's watchable though.

Dead sexy
now imagine how impressed she would have been if you had added magnum condoms with the purchase?

Ok - I must be a dummy. My phone - I connect USB and drag and drop anything I want.
N7 tablet everything says unsupported format and to skip it. I know things on my tablet can play it.
Do I have to rename all these things to an mp3 just to cpy over? I have an apk I want to install also.

I have not plugged my tablet into the PC yet... I just use Google Drive for stuff like that.

Yeah I think I found out it has to do with windows media player 10. Can't upgrade that here at work. Oh well will need to wait to get home. What file manager is everyone using File Manager HD
Jaysus
Good times!
huh, good question. It looks like it gets buried in Android/Data/Google Docs/Files.I failed to mention that I actually use the free version of FolderSync to push Drive files where I want them .so where does the file go when it's available offline? If I make it available offline can I delete it in drive? Sorry for the newb talk

Ok. I found it. It fails when trying to parsehuh, good question.

Was trying to install the Amazon Instant Video app - works great on my phone.....Still plodding along, tough with no internet connection here and using my phone as a hot spot. I moved the file but after you do delete the file it's not available in the drive offline but I found it on my phone after I moved it Thanks for the tip
Just click that you don't want to skip it; you want to copy it anyway.

Footballguy
That was the rub - there was no option to do that
I traced it back to a WMP10 issue. I'm sure I'll have none of these issues at home

That's weird. I get the same error message when I want to copy over .avi files, for example. It tells me that the file format is unsupported by the device, but then it gives me two buttons I can click: one for skipping, and one for copying anyway.That was the rub - there was no option to do that

Right - I bet you have WMP 11 or higher. I get Skip, Skip All, CancelThat's weird. I get the same error message when I want to copy over .avi files, for example.

Hence my frustration. I wish I could upgrade here to check but oh well, I found a way around it.

I'll be shocked if it works. It won't work on my rooted Kindle Fire regardless of what ROM I'm running. You can get it to load and view content but it won't play.Amaozn Prime player installed success - can't see if it really works until I get home

I'm guessing it was pre-installed on the Razr (Verizon partnership likely), which would mean it won't just work on another device.works on my razr maxx - but yeah I'm not anticiapting anything excitingI'll be shocked if it works.

Nope. I side loaded the ATVAndroidClient.apk on my phone. I then have to reboot, log into my amazon mp3 account, then sqitch over to the video account. Takes some fiddling but now works great.

If that's the reason, it would be sort of weird. I never use WMP for anything. I don't know why the operating system would care about WMP when it comes to just doing a file transfer that doesn't involve WMP. But with Microsoft, you never know, I guess . . .Right - I bet you have WMP 11 or higher. I get Skip, Skip All, CancelThat's weird.

I could be wrong but the the MTP protocol is being used which is built into windows. SO either I'm missing a windows component or the media player is nto fully up to date which has some driver in it. It's a work computer so I have limted crap I can do to it ...If that's the reason, it would be sort of weird. I never use WMP for anything.

You guys regret making me get on of these yet?
Now that I have most of the general stuff figured out here is what I'm trying to do but can't seem to figure out and it's a bit embarrassing.
Here is what I have done - I used AirDroid app to transfer files from my pc to my nexus but that requires me to actually open my home pc browser. Really good app but this is what I'm trying to do.
I set up a share folder on my office pc to share with Everyone, with files I like to move back and forth. My other laptops can see this folder just fine.
I've tried using ES File Manager and HD File Manager. Each has a LAN setting.
So I scan my network and find my PC-IP. It won't let me log in anonymously. I found the password for my home group (windows 7) and tried that and that did not work. I tried typing in the ip/folder directly, computername/folder directly and still no luck. My laptop , xbox etc can see this shared folder but the nexus won't connect.
I should know how to do this Any help please, what possibly could be my username, domain? which I'm pretty sure I don't need. I thought the password would be that stupid homegroup password.
Help!!! TIA
I basically want to sit upstairs without having to go to the basement to move files.

See if the Airdroid app will do what you want it to do.

Sorry had a brain cramp - I tried airdroid not airplay. I tried that. Works great but I have to actually go to the pc to "log in" with the code the app generates, once I'm in I'm fine. Messing around I turned off password requirements on my office pc and i was able to connect but I wasn't sure if that was ok to do. As soon as I turn it back on - no matter what I type I can't get in
