[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I know it's basically free money, but it's sort of hard to justify the nearly $7 price tag on Titanium Backup when I've lived with the free version for a year. But 0-click-batch sounds so good...
[Nexus 7 General] Atamagaokashii:
Its worth it. Trust me.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
I'll go ahead and give it a go. If there's any time to buy it, I guess now would be that time.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
+1 on buying TiBu. It's the most useful app on the market. Period. Even if the free version had all the features, I would still buy it just to support the developers. I also bought their Media Sync app. It's nice, but I wish it supported active sync FROM dropbox. I imagine this will be coming soon.
[Nexus 7 General] iwantanandroid:
Is TiBU needed or can I just do the same with Rom toolbox?
[Nexus 7 General] mwalt2:
You can do the same and more with rom toolbox pro. I quit using titanium backup and started only using rom toolbox since it does sms, apps, data, system settings, call history, contacts, Wi-Fi points, bookmarks, etc.

Splashtop ( the version that only works with tegra 3) hd or xd or something like that.

Splash top, some games, save some for some awesome apps to come. :)

Oh! And the stick it player app! It is a picture in picture video player like the galaxy SIII has, and I think it will work well with the 7's awesome specs. :)

I already had Thumb Keyboard, but if I didn't I would've bought it. It's my favorite keyboard by far; the split layout is fantastic.

I bought a few games I wanted, Final Fantasy III (solid port from DS), FPse (PS1 emulator, plays FF7 and others without a hitch), Dead Trigger, and some other one I can't remember off the top of my head...
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
Probably music or books. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MOVIE/TV SHOW AGAIN from the play store. THE QUALITY IS HORRID!!!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] mwalt2:
It syncs with dropbox and has a 'send' setting. When you choose send, it opens up a list of apps on your phone and Drive is on the list. I haven't tested Drive, but the dropbox option worked fine for me.
[Nexus 7 General] reiji:
Just curious why everyone is so willing to spend $8 on Splashtop when there are a lot of free RDP apps in the Play store.

Is there really something that great about it that I don't know?
[Nexus 7 General] Andrew025:
It works very well.

I can play stream games while I'm away from home with very minimal latency.
[Nexus 7 General] BootlegSnackz:
these are all great ideas! I still can't pin down how to spend my credit, it's a bummer that you can't buy mag subscriptions with the credit as well.

Oh well, thinking about some THD games and splashtop hd and gamepad hd, but neither of these work with the N7 yet, if i remember correctly. I already own almost all of the paid apps in the top 50 thanks to a dollar here or there purchase over carrier billing...

might buy a couple of the books i have been wanting to purchase from the play store. also have a plane trip coming up in august, so may save that to rent a newer movie as well.
[Nexus 7 General] uberdalum:
I am having a hard time trying not to blow my free money on mine as well. I started with Shadowgun. Dead Trigger is in my near future as well. Other than that, I've bee accustomed to ad supported apps on my other phones and tablets, that I'm not really finding anything else that screams, "BUY ME!"

Maybe some music...
[Nexus 7 General] IAmRelex:
Depending on how much I like regular SwiftKey on the n7 I might get the tablet version.

[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
IMPORTANT:

Okay so I just found out you can get multiple Free play store credits... Please don't abuse this and I'm not sure how easy this is to replicate.

Here is what I did.

I started my tablet up logged into my usual Play store email (the one I use for purchases) So I could make sure I got the credit before root. (I made a few purchases using the credit.

Then I rooted, then did not sign in, then I factoryreseted the tablet through the settings.

When it rebooted, I signed into my normal g-mail account (the one I use for gmail and google+) This email did not have a credit card attached to it because I never used it for purchases. But it gave me the usual prompt to add my Credit Card. I noticed above it it said if I add my credit card I would get a free $25 credit. So I added a credit to that and just got the email that I had a $25 credit.

So long story short:

I used my normal account; got the credit

Rooted, wiped, rebooted

Signed into my other account, added my CC, got another credit.

So maybe we get a $25 credit for every account we sign into that has a CC attached?

Maybe only the first account? (If so we would need to wipe each time)

Anyway, thought someone would like to know.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Update:

Just added my other other email again without wiping. Asked for a Credit card, I entered it, no play store credit. Maybe it only works if it is the only account on the device.

[Nexus 7 General] mastarifla:
I just tried replicating what you did and I am unable to get it to go through, I see that if i go into the play store that I can add a card for $25, then I add the card only to see that the credit wasn't applied.

Maybe 4.1.1 fixes it in a way? I went under the setting of the tablet and factory reset and in the initial process it doesn't say anything about a $25 credit, maybe this only works for 4.1?
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
Woah, thanks! Didn't know that existed, I like the looks of it better too. Works awesome on my galaxy s2, so will be even awesome-er on the N7.

Weak.......... wanted to buy both Dead Space and Mass Effect Infiltrator but both don't show on the Play Store. If you manually look them up on the Play Store website it then brings them up in the app but tells you that "your device is not compatible with this version" and won't let you access it. Ugggggh.
[Nexus 7 General] fobeeguy:
Probably on some new Tegra games.

Does this credit expire? I'm trying to wait till they have a sale& then just go crazy buying everything for dirty cheap.
[Nexus 7 General] EvilDeadFan:
Are you searching from your Nexus?

Sounds like they need to make it compatible for our devices. Odd though, since they're Tegra3 and benchmark slightly faster (although just barely) than a Transformer Prime TF300.
[Nexus 7 General] akarol:
It shouldn't expire. No mention of it.

Now, anyone use the Splashtop THD (Tegra 3 version)? Wondering how well it works. I have the HD one already. Is it that much better?

Might be one of the things I buy!
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:

+1 for FPSe! Try Chrono Cross first, what a great game!
[Nexus 7 General] c4v3man:
I've gotten up to rank 8, and haven't bought anything. It's just more challenging, but not frustrating without buying stuff with IAP. Just save up for the AK47 and you'll be fine from what I can tell.

While I don't like IAP, I can understand the model, and if I'm willing to pay $5 for the game, what's wrong with paying $1 for the game, and $4 in game to get the same experience. At least that way people who can't afford $5 get to play too.

Hopefully Google will introduce some sort of "Achievements" into it's ecosystem... would be funny to get a "cheapskate" achievement for beating the game without any IAP...

I've been playing FF3, and it's a great game. The controls work well for touch screens, and the content is good. If you are a FF fan, I would recommend it.

I had the same problem with mine, and the same response from Google. They recommended a factory reset and to try again - it didn't work.

However, I was able to figure out how to fix it - maybe this will help you.

I *THINK* my issue was due to having 2 expired CCs on my Google Play/Wallet account. So here is how I fixed it:

1) Remove ALL credit cards on your Google Wallet account, even valid ones.

2) Factory reset tablet.

3) Go through the normal first time startup procedure. When it asks you to add a new credit card to get the credit, do so.

4) You should now see the $25 credit in your account, and will get an email confirming it in a few seconds.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Regarding what to buy, I would highly recommend the Cerberus Anti-Theft application. The 2.3Beta version on their forum works perfectly on the Nexus7. The developer is also a really nice guy (helped me with an account issue I caused). It's like $3 and well worth it. More so for phones, since they have a 3g/4g connection all the time, but also useful for tablets if you forgot where you put it or want some remote control abilities.
[Nexus 7 General] kangxi:
Actually, Nova 3 works beautifully on the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Zargon335:
I have two Google accounts. After adding the second account, I immediately got the e-mail saying I got the credit with this account too. No wiping between or anything fancy. I've since purchased apps from both accounts over the last day or so.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
I think this might be more of a "glitch" then a feature.

I had a ton of problems getting my legit first account credited. Had to remove all CC's and factory reset twice. When I got it, I then added my work email account (since I use that for GApps), and it said I could get $25 on that one. I added a CC, but got nothing. No email, no credit. I didn't expect to either. So I think it might be hit or miss depending on how broken their verification system is at the time.

[Nexus 7 General] misanthropic777:
I did, then they had to restart and it was over my vacation so I didn't get back in. I figure that I'll save my credit for that when it comes out (september i think they said) and the rest will go to PRO keys for things I use all the time. Support developers AND get rid of evil adds. Worth every penny.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Speaking of PRO keys, I'm a little pissed at Astro. I love the app, and wanted to purchase they key (which AFAIK simply removed the unobtrusive ads at the bottom. I purchased it on my Nexus7 and installed it, then went to install it on my SGS2. Nope, not happening. Says incompatible with my device. Apparently they don't even make a "pro" key for that. Whaaaaaa?

Reading the comments, apparently others have even worse stories. About how they purchased a prior Pro key which no longer works, and the developer came out with a new one they would have to re-purchase again. Emails to the Dev go unresponded to.

There is no reason why a key shouldn't be universal.

[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
I think his post brings up a very good point/FYI. Apparently, you can't use a partial credit. So that means if you only have $0.98 left (or less) you will probably be SOL, since most apps are $0.99 or more. That means you lost basically 1/25th. of your free credit. Additionally, if you have, say $13.00 left, but want to buy a $13.99 app, you can't do $13 and $0.99 on credit card.

Which kind of sucks.

In either case, I'm glad someone brought this up. Because I didn't think about it, and want to make sure I keep better track of and maximize my credit.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Another thing I don't like about the Google Play Market/Wallet is that you can't prefund it with $X. I don't like having to see a dozen <$1 charges on my credit card, especially since it could flag it as fraud. I would much more prefer to put $10-$20 on my account at one time, and use that to buy apps as needed.

You have to turn auto rotate on in both system settings and nova settings.

That is because it only acts as a control for your phone. The sound is coming from your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 4580957:
Well if you mean to flash a ROM here is a step-by-step instruction guide :

0. Download the ROM and extract it to your SD Card and place it in any folder you want.

1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!

2. Select the "-wipe data/factory reset" tab and select "- Yes -- delete all user data" Now, you may be asking, WTF!? why do I need to wipe my phone?! Well this is so the ROM will function properly. To restore your apps from the previous backup use AppExtractor available on the Google Play Store.

3. Goto "- install zip from sdcard"

4. Select "-choose zip from sdcard"

5. Browse through your filesystem and find your ROM.

6. Once you have located it, select it and confirm the install by selecting, "- Yes - Install [Rom Name.zip]"

7. Once the installer says it is completed, go back to the main menu of CWM and select, "-reboot system now"

8. Enjoy your newly flashed ROM!

[Nexus Q General] ThisIsDave:
So yes, I tried to flash a different system.img, and am currently bricked, but would like to share some helpful info:

Google's Nexus telephone support will not supply factory image locations

They will also not comment on whether some sort of "internet recovery" (using Ethernet) exists such.

Fastboot can be manually entered by powering up with a palm ove the device, waiting for the red flashing to begin, and once it does, immediately removing your palm. I struggled with this for a little while (as I couldn't connect over adb/fastboot) and am at least in a state now where I could restore the device.

I hope this info's helpful... and if it is, please help me out with some factory image sources over in my "Factory Images?" thread! :-)

You can Fastboot the device and only botched the system image correct? Well, in theory all you need to do is boot ClockworkMod Recovery through Fastboot and restore a dump someone has already done. I think their is one in the Dev Forum already.
[Nexus Q General] mrjaymillz:
Thanks for the info, saved me at least 3 or 4 times after soft bricking my Q. One thing that I found to help is while the device is bricked type in command prompt: adb reboot-bootloader ... this will generate a waiting for device tag then once you see that unplug the Nexus Q and plug it in, within one second as soon as you see a hint of blue on the mute button put your palm over it and it typically boots right into fastboot mode. If not just unplug and repete until it goes.

FYI: Also if you try to launch clockwork from an apk and instal a rom you will almost most definitely soft brick it (tried to sideload AOSP JB ROM and some others with no luck).
