Hello folks, got a rooted 4.2 32gig Nexus 7. Love it, and I've really enjoyed using Skype with it. And then...the latest update...
Can anyone suggest how I might down rev this version of Skype?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.

Do you not make and keep backups? I use titanium for that sorta of thing! I'm sure you'll find prev version if you use google?

Being that it's a free app, I'm sure you can find an older apk online.

Hi, just thought I would hijack this thread.
I use Skype a lot on my Nexus 7. Whenever a call is incoming, the device wakes up and I take the call.
However, I recently got a nice wrap around case for the nexus with a magnet that wakens the device when I open it, and sleeps it when I close it. Now though, whenever a Skype call comes in, it only rings once and then "hangs up" on the dialer (showing as "no answer" on their side).
Apart from making sure the cover is always open, is there anyway of stopping Skype from rejecting calls when the cover is closed?
Thanks a mill
That sounds like something you may want to send to them as feedback or something. I have Skype but no smart case to test this myself.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had found a keyboard dock like the transformer prime for the nexus 7. Maybe without the track pad due to the smaller size of the device. I would like something with a hinge like a laptop.
Thanks!

I actually wouldn't mind one with a trackpad, but yeah if they make one like the Transformer, I would be very interested.

I was just looking for the same thing, this is what I found...
Well it won't let me post a url being a new member. So just search "nexus 7 keyboard dock"... There's sources say one is coming. Please update if you ever hear more. Thanks!
Yah, thanks. I've seen those, but what I would really want is a case that has a hard hinges like a laptop where the n7 would act as a simple screen, so I can have it on my knees without having to worry about having to make it sit on something. Hope you understood, I have difficulty explaining it.
Thanks again for your time.

I'm in the same boat. I got this tablet to help me with colege stuff and I'd really like to find a good keyboard case so I could just open it on the desk and start taking notes to the cloud and all that stuff. A fast, organized and secure way of taking lesson notes.
I got one of this USB keyboard cases from ebay and the keyboard isn't really good. I thing I can type faster with Swiftkey...

An idea I've been kicking around for a couple months now. I finally accepted that I won't ever own a computer or laptop. I despise my Note 2, the only thing keeping me on it is LTE, obviously the 7 lacks. But a larger screen is something I keep wanting more and more. The only other problem is the worrying dependency on GV in order to make it work.
Very nice article.
I don't think the Nexus 7 will fit in my pockets, and also, Google Voice isn't free in my country and isn't really supported, so I prefer my regular Galaxy Ace for the outside, and the Nexus 7 for the inside .
I use mine as a wifi phone with the groove IP app, when my phone goes dead.

Is there any way to enable the call button in the maps?
I have asked this in another thread but no one could answer.

I just received my Smart Dock in the mail and they failed to mention that you can't make or receive phone calls or text messages while it's docked. This is a HUGE flaw for me and I probably wouldn't had even have bought this had I known. Yet, it is nowhere mentioned on Amazon or on the Samsung website. I find this very misleading considering its a product for your "smart" phone. I found out by troubleshooting in vain then finally contacting Samsung tech support where it was confirmed.
Someone please crack this open and find a way!

Wow! This may be a carrier customization. Are you going to send it back?
Hmm. Mine works.
Sprint
LJ7 Deodexed ROM
Slightly themed.
I actually keep my BT Headset on so I can answer calls all over my apt without having to undock.

No I'm going to keep it. I'm on Verizon I use it only at night anyways so its ok. Ppl hit me up on Google Talk a lot so I'll maintain.
Here is a screenshot I took from my conversation with tech support. Also, I'm running Eclipse but I don't think the ROM is the problem.

I'm going to throw CleanRom on tonight at work and see if it works. Hope it does.

So if anyone has ever owned an LG phone; if you are say playing a game or using the internet and someone texts you, it comes up with a little bubble so u can respond without having to leave whatever application you are in.
Is this possible with the nexus 6? I don't want to download a third party messenger as they all seem to slow the phone up or are retarded in some way or another

Have you tried textra?

Has anyone else noticed that the XDA app sometimes loads a thread immediately and then other times it gets "stuck" where it can take a very long time to load? When it gets stuck, I can click back and then click the same thread again, which sometimes will load it quickly. I notice the exact same behavior in the Amazon app when clicking a product. It happens on both WiFi and LTE and has happened with every version of android so far on the N6.
I use XDA and Amazon all the time so this is a particularly frustrating issue for me.
UPDATE: here is a video demonstrating the problem with the Amazon app:

Which XDA app? Theres like a million of them. One of the tapatalk versions?
I'm using the XDA premium app.
I'm not convinced that it's an issue specific to the app though because I didn't notice this on my Nexus 4 and the exact same issue happens in the Amazon app.

XDA premium is based on Tapatalk and Tapatalk has problems on this forum. Its specific to this forum too, because taptalk works fine on other forums I use. I think the API on XDA for Tapatalk is outdated and since XDA are working on their own new XDA app (XDA One), they're probably not going to be too bothered to fix it.
Not sure about Amazon
Tapatalk has gone into the toilet over the years at this point I would honestly pay to go back to an old version. The iOS version is such a monstrosity and just so horrible its at the point of being unusable. if the thread I want actually comes up and displays I feel like I've won something.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like this might be something a new XDA app could fix.
Here is a quick video I made showing the Amazon issue:
Amazon App getting stuck on Nexus 6: https://youtu.be/bjDayQJVV3g
The first 2 products open fast and then the third gets stuck. I click back and re try 5 times and on the last try, it opens fast like the first 2 did. Anyone else have this issue with Amazon?
Yes you are correct ..Those are the worse two apps to get "stuck".. Only other app is WWE SUPERCARD..Every other app is fine..I do believe it is app issues not phone related.
