I was half joking tbh. lol iPads and things are a great tool for kids learning. It gives them an advantage. Kids learn faster with interactivity, thus the reason we end up child proofing the house. I would say use screen protectors and thick rubberised cases but more importantly don't allow them to use it while other toys are around because they will try to combine them. lol

Not very impressed with the android range of kids apps, the iPad is well ahead in this respect.
[Nexus 7 General] Timbermill:
You may find these apps useful (I know I do); Hide It Pro and Smart App Protector
[Nexus 7 General] Dropline:
I agree on the other toy thing, she already took a crayon to the screen. She is only 2 so I expect some things like that, lucky for me she communicates well for her age and understood why not to do that again.

Also the Nabi aftermarket case is even thicker than the stock one, I bet it could take a decent fall, but not testing that out.

Lack of kids games sure, but there are a lot preloaded for most age groups on the Nabi2, both games and learning apps.
[Nexus 7 General] metalwraith:
My favorite way to keep my tablet childproof... literally... Mom has a Asus tranformer tablet... let him use her's for everything... The second he asked me to install a game for him on mine... for him I was like... " are you nuts? this ain't mom's tablet, it's not for your enjoyment, it's for mine."
[Nexus 7 General] Dropline:
That would work, but prying my wife's thrive from her hands could be scary. Our kid used to use our phones to game, so getting her the Nabi cleared that up. Also netflix on there so freed the tv up. Ripped all her kids dvds and even less reason to let her use our stuff.

And she loves it. She can unplug it bring it over watch a movie and plug the charger back in, not bad for a 2 year old. Funny part is when she unlocks it, she says she is locking it.

I tried Switch Me, and while I believe the app is still very beta at this time, it worked quite well. Just password protect the main account, and then create a guest account with minimal apps. You can also then restrict access in Play Store. Switching users basically reboots the tablet with a completely different user space.

You will also likely want a throwaway Google account for setting it up since the first time you switch, the Nexus 7 is going to go through the OOB setup again, and will need to associate with an account. If you create a Google account just for this profile, you won't have to worry about syncing your email, but any purchased apps will be tied to this other profile and not your main Google account.

It's funny, mom bought her tablet to use for school. Got the keyboard/dock for it, bluetooth mouse and a pelican case. Hasn't used it for school yet. So kiddo decided to use it, he practically thinks it's his. lol
[Nexus 7 General] ianeb:
I have bought my 5 year old a N7 for christmas, fed up with him wanting my phone all the time! He is only allowed on it when behaviour permits and at timed intervals. I think they help children when used correctly. My son has already impressed his teacher at school with his advanced skills with a mouse and touch screen, some kids can not use a mouse at his age.

Anyway, I will be trying FAMIGO SANDBOX, has anyone used it? Looks exactly along the lines of what I want for him. I will give Kid Mode a try also but it doesn't look as nice from the screen shots. I also need a tough case! something like an Otterbox, but I dont think they do a case yet for the N7. The bobJgear cases look nice also but I would really like one with a strap build in, like what you get on a wii remote...

Any tips more than appreciated :good:

I received the Nexus 7 yesterday for my son and installed a screen protector and a case immediately. Then, I installed Nova Launcher Prime. After configuring the launcher, the home screen shows his games and has no dock, no access to app drawer except via "special gesture", lots of hidden apps in the app drawer (just in case) and locked desktop preventing further customization.

The only thing that I need to do is to disable that annoying "Google shortcut" when swiping from the home button to the screen. Anyone knows how I can do that? Thanks!

Hey guys, i love your website, i just bought a HTC AMAZE 4G wich I want to update it to ICS 4.0.3 - 2.14.531.3710RD, I am a SIMPLE MOBILE subscriber. I dont know if I can receive the OTA update using Simple mobile, if has to be through T-Mobile i have a prepay phone with active sim card which i can use in my phone for that, I just want to have some advice before switching sims cards, if the answer is not i cant with that prepaid sim card, i can do it thought bootloader with the ROM file, I really want the original ROM, not costumed ROM. I wish you can help me to update my phone with the 4.0.3 OTA System Update 2.14.531.3710RD, can you guide me a download site, i have been looking everywhere i found a couples but did not work. Thanks in advanced. Again I love this Great website and I`ve been reading for a log time, even when I used to have the t-mobile dash i played around with all costumed roms build here.

I haven't used any of it yet. Do they just remove the credit from my play account? I want to purchase a book from another device but don't want to risk my chance of a refund for the n7 by purchasing something with the credit.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hax0red:
I'm curious as well since I will be taking mine back due to light bleeding and some pixels hanging in almost black conditions. I also had two stuck pixels but I was able to massage them back into shape....still all scary enough to wanna return and wait for the problems to be resolved since the failure rate is high for sure.

Really is too bad since I love the new OS design and feel although still not iOS smooth scrolling / dead on touch interaction feel. I absolutely love the new chrome selection zoom tool and recent tabs from my other devices.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
I'd assume you keep the original credit but that you don't get a second credit from the new device on that account.

I think people who had 2 N7s only got 1 credit unless they used the other one on another account.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testaccount:
what i did when i got the replacement unit was to log in with a different account first, before wiping and going back to my own account

now i got 25 for me and 25 for my son's account
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuxiliaryPie:
thats what i did, but only because my replacement has the same issue as my original.

as for the OP, im willing to bet you get to keep it. Google has too much going on to give a care if you have a $25 credit or not. Im surprised they dont give a credit to all new Android devices, i bet the play store would boom
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stm8:
I'm curious, also. I just returned my Nexus 7 16GB to the local store I bought it at. I was experiencing screen lift and flicker. I explained my problem to the store manager. They had a few more units in stock, but I said I wanted a refund because I wanted to wait until Google/Asus ironed out the hardware and software issues. He was good enough to give me a full refund without charging me a restocking fee because it was defective.

I spend a little less that half the $25 credit on a few apps (SplashTop HD and Tablet Talk). What happens to the balance? Will they charge my credit card for the apps I bought with the $25 credit?

I reviewed the terms and conditions of their offer, and it didn't mention any consequences for returning the tablet instead of exchanging it. Hopefully I'm good.

When trying to tether to my phone, Nexi won't find the network ID. I can connect my Nexi to my home network with no issues, and I can connect my PC to my phone's AP with no problems so I have to assume the issue is some kind of incompatibility between these two devices.

I received my Nexus 7.

Logged in with my Google account. Set up wallet. Nothing.

Checked online and cannot find a step that I missed. I thought that when I sign in with my Google username and password, and my Google Wallet account, it would appear in the drop down as a payment type for play store purchases. All I have is my main credit card listed in the play store. I did get the $10 credit from Wallet, but not the $25 from the pre-order.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
I believe the $25 credit is for the Play Store and won't show up in your wallet.

When you make a purchase in the Play Store it should show you how much credit you have left.

I haven't tried this yet, but I believe this is how it works from the other posts I've read.

I had to re enter the credit card that was already associated with the account and then it was there. A little strange but simple enough.
[Nexus 7 General] austrojedi:
Once I set up my Google Account, it told me that I 'qualify for the $25 Credit for the Play Store', but I needed to set up a credit card first. After adding the one that I already had in there, it said 'The credit card you set up doesn't qualify for the credit.' I guess it's because it's an Austrian credit card.

Bottom line: all you should have to do is link it to your account and add a credit card.

Has anyone else run in to this problem?

My sister was setting hers up and she didn't know her password. She skipped signing in during the setup and reset her password (after setup). Then I did a factory reset and she did the initial setup again, this time signing in with her Google account.

We never saw the screen mentioning the free $25, nor did she receive an email about it. :confused:

Sorry for bumping up this old thread, but I can't seem to get my $25 credit! I followed the instructions from every single posts in this thread and none would work. I keep on getting the error message about my credit card not being eligible for the promotion. I thought if I just delete the card from my account and re-enter it after the factory reset it'll work, but it doesn't. I know I didn't enter any information incorrectly because my Google Wallet account does show the green checkmark.

Does anyone here know what's wrong and what I can do about it? I just bought the Swift Keyboard with my CC because I couldn't wait anymore and I was afraid that I'll miss out on the sale. The stupid $25 credit should have went towards that!

[Nexus 7 General] lsquare:
So I finally found the number and called Google. The rep told me the issue will be escalated to a different department on Monday and I should get my credit.

Have anyone here had a situation similar to mine? Will the escalation eventually lead to a resolution where I'll finally get the $25 credit?

I guess I'll have to call them too, didn't get my $25 neighter. Maybe it's because the device isn't available yet in my country?

Why do I have to when I already have a Google account (non-Gmail address) that works with my Nexus 7? It's not like I can't access the Google Play store or my Google Wallet account.
