[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ateebtk:
I just graduated and these tips helped me greatly. So here goes...

For note-taking, stick to a laptop. Yea, you can download various apps, buy bluetooth/wireless keyboards for your nexus 7 but why?? stick with what you got. Use onenote with your laptop to take notes & record simultaneously (search youtube for more detailed tips on onenote).

- Get familiar with google calender. (Keep a designated "personal" calender where you might wanna keep important dates, doctor appointments etc. Then another calender "school" where you will input midterms, exams, assignment dates with reminders. Google calender is awesome. .... ** I suggest "business calender" app for aggregating all your calenders eg "bills", "personal" "college" etc.

- Dropbox - Don't carry flash drive's with you to campus. Put all your assignments for school in appropriate folders (1st year > science > bio ...) on the cloud. I use dropbox. You can easily use cubby, box , skydrive, google drive/docs. Other than your usual word papers, powerpoint notes from professors..**.I suggest you keep a folder for college with your academic calender + resume + GPA calculator etc. This way you can make additions to your resume as your go along your academic career. Plus you have access to stuff like your resume at all times in case you need to email it to a professor, internship, etc.

- Evernote - Evernote is powerful. It's up to you how you use the software which consequently can confuse beginners since they feel lost. I personally use it to store important documents, passwords logins(encrypted offcourse), make checklists (what stuff to bring to your dorms), shopping lists. I have a notebook for my "college" > where my college docs are located according to course. Then for "dental school "> where all my loan information, housing leases's etc. **Check out CAMSCANNER app (buy the pro version) to take scans of important documents and send them to dropbox/evernote/email etc. ... Get in the habit of keeping everything organized right from the start!

- You wanna get stuff done? you need a to-do list app. Take your pick at any of the top ones... Remember the Milk, Astrid etc. I personally prefer Astrid. It sync across my phone, nexus 7, & computers.

- Mint - to keep your finances in order (bank accnts, credit cards, etc. ).

- Another vote for Quick Office /Pro - to open docs like word, ppt, excel etc . It also can access & sync across the major cloud services like dropbox, drive etc.

- Splashtop Remote - I think its 5 bucks but worth it if you need functionality to stream your computer to your tablet. I use it to open flash sites (noobroom) & access my hard-drive remotely.

(optional) Tasker - Google it. Buy it if automation interests you.

Hope this was helpful and not a random rant.

Because I bike to campus and my laptop weighs 9 pounds, while a Nexus 7 is pretty much insubstantial. Got the tablet because it would be cheaper than buying a new laptop, and it's really comfortable to type on. Sync Google Drive using wifi on campus, and my notes are ready for me on my computer the second I get to my apartment. Easy.

As for productivity, WolframAlpha is an amazing app for math classes, just waiting for them to update it for Jelly Bean.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
Yeah, I bought mine for use at college, and the essentials are a good keyboard you like, a note-taking app you will actually use, and stickmount so you can edit from flash drives on the go. Oh, and a really sturdy stand, if you don't have a stand case. Beyond that, to each their own. I spent five bucks on a screenwriting app, but that's a pretty niche buy. Go look for your textbooks on every e-reader site you can (all but one of mine is Kindle). -Ara

If you can download the apk's on your laptop, use AirDroid to throw them to your nexus 7. Great thing about AirDroid is that you don't need to download and install it on a computer, its all Web Based.

Also thank you all for these great tips, its going to be my last year in highschool and I'd like to be very prepared for college/uni(for those folks in Europe).

I obviously don't know what your school is or your major. But what do you do when you take a real math class that actually requires you to use Matlab or Maple IN CLASS as part of a lab or any number of extensive math programs? Or requires you to use any number of specialty programs (CAD, Labview, etc...)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushpilotwannabe:
You're looking at this the right way. Every device is suited well for certain things and not so well for others. I've found my N7 to be awesome for kicking back and playing games, poking around online, and doing a few lightweight tasks here and there. Most serious productivity, however, is best left to laptops, just like most serious gaming is best left to consoles or PCs.

There have been a lot of great app recommendations and I can't add many; I've been out of college for three years and a lot has changed since then. All I can suggest is what I did when I first got mine: copy over everything you have on your phone that you think you'd use, and slowly start adding things you think you'd like better on the tablet. Also, keep an eye on some of the blogs (RSS is good for this), as most of them post app recommendations now and then. It'll never replace your phone or laptop, but over time you'll find things that you like doing best on the tablet and it will end up complementing both quite nicely.

On another note, I can at least help with manually installing .apk files. Just go into Settings -> Security and check the "unknown sources" box. After that, all you have to do is open the file you've downloaded and follow the prompts.

I wouldn't recommend that. I've tried remotely operating Matlab with my Transformer Prime, and coding with lag is not so hot. Even with a mouse the interface is a bit too wonky for heavy duty work.

Take notes? Certainly a tablet can handle the basics. I'd recommend Handy Notes for written (or hybrid written/typed) notes...waaaay better than SuperNote (but costs 0.99 cents). I've tried ALL of them and that's the only one that I think has an intuitive interface for handwriting and isn't laggy (I'm looking at you FreeNote). Plus it allows lots of formatting options.

If you just want to type, any of the word processors will do. I'm perfectly fine working with Google Drive's word processor. Presentations are fine as well--just stay the heck away from spreadsheets.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Can.I.Haz.Jelly.Bean?:
Oh, ok. I didn't know that .apk files are the apps themselves. Still learning some things. =P I'll give Asus's program a try then! I think that taking notes on a tablet will be a lot tougher than handwritten notes. I'll give it a try though! Couldn't hurt. It's part of my goal of going 100% paperless. If my notes are digital though, I'd like to be able to upload in the cloud to access them on my phone and laptop. (Not sure if Supernote lets you do that. I didn't check.)

Thank you!

Actually, the way I make myself study is through procrastination. :p I'm a horrible procrastinator, so I learned to use it to my advantage. I start off every homework/study session by watching an episode of a show I like. Then I make a short goal for myself (like memorize 5 terms if it's memorizing, or get a certain amount of sources for a research paper), and then I watch another episode. Then I make another short goal. I just use my horrible procrastination to an advantage. By the end of everything, I watched a whole lot of TV, and I got a ton done. Thank you Netflix.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Buy a BT keyboard that works for you: that means it should be portable and comfortable to use. If it's too big you'll never pack it in your bag, and if you don't enjoy typing on it it'll never make it out of the bag. Don't go for one of the cramped, squishy rubber key ones you see on eBay or Amazon third party sellers, or a gimmicky keyboard case. Unless you have baby hands no 7" tablet keyboard case will be practical for tapping out more than a couple of emails. Read reviews, buy from a place that makes returns easy, and try a few out. I like the HP Touchpad keyboard, but there are many others out there too.

Oh, and if you're in an dorm/apt/school that allows wired internet, get yourself an Ethernet adapter if u don't already have one.

I had a tablet PC when I was in college. It didn't have a touch screen, but you could swivel the screen around and use the stylus that came with it to take notes. Microsoft One Note was included for free, and that program was GREAT for classes and note taking! I wish the tablet version of one note would do the same things.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
I'm also a college student and have been using a tablet since the iPad 1 launched.

The biggest asset of my studies and academic success has been the ability to take notes and having the note app record audio. On my iPad I use notes plus I believe and record the lecture/audio while taking notes.

So when I'm reviewing my notes or studying, if I come to something I need to focus on halfway through page three, I just touch that spot in my notes and it begins playing the lecture from exactly the point where I wrote that particular note.

It's helped me study and really helped improve my grades because it saves so much time having the two together and time synced so I don't have to search through audio recordings ever.

Office suite is nice

To avoid multiple apps i use es file explorer, to get access to skydrive, google drive, box.com and dropbox with a root file manager.

A nice web browser. (I prefer aosp browser.)

And if i need access to anything on my desktop like files, or a better browser, i use splashtop remote2, very nice; my apartment internet gets anywhere from 0.3mbps to 0.8mbps upload, and although a little laggy, i can do file moving, document editing, etc on it.
[Off-topic] zswielder:
Hi,

I see that DropBox is used often to distribute ROMs here, but I wonder if

iDrive

may be a better alternative (or an add-on)? DropBox caps at 16GB, but iDrive gives you up to 50GB of free cloud space.

On a side note, if you use Torrent, you can turn iDrive into a seedbox too. Here's how:

[Basic Idea] Upload a file you want to seed to iDrive, then use that file's URL as the webseed for a new torrent.

[Steps]

1.

Sign up for a free account on iDrive

. (Comes with 5GB)

2. Get 10GB more space instantly by allowing iDrive to send referrals to everyone in your email contact list (if you don't want to spam your friends, just use a spare email account with at least 5 contacts that you don't care about). Now you have 15GB! You can get up to 50GB through referrals.

3. Create a folder (I named it "Public"). Check the checkbox next to the folder and click on "Share" on top. This will take you to a page where you can configure some settings. DO NOT SET PASSWORD, or this will not work. Set the number of days to share to 30 (max). Set the number of downloads to 30 (max). Leave the rest untouched.

4. Upload a file you want to seed to that folder you just created.

5. Once the upload finishes, you can see a link icon (looks like a chain?) left side of the "file size." Click on it, and it'll give you the file's share URL (this will be our webseed URL).

6.Open up uTorrent and create a new torrent. Select your file. Add any public tracker (For instance: http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce). Paste the webseed URL from step 5 into the Web Seed box. Do not check Private torrent. Click Create and save as... and wait as uTorrent makes your .torrent file.

7.Done! Just post your .torrent file to start seeding. iDrive will seed your file for you. Use the bandwidth throttle feature (I'm still experimenting with this) as you see fit.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,

GT

Quick little thought. Now that ICS is Live and Official do we get the source code from that or do we still need to wait for something else.
