Nothing. it will not start. so i press the volume down and the power button again and a battery icon is displayed for about two seconds. then nothing. try again. battery...

Hello. I am new to the world of modification on any device, but I now have a Nexus 7 and have heard it is very modifiable. The biggest issue I currently have is that I live in The Netherlands but I want my Nexus 7 to think I am in the U.S. I have looked into VPN apps, but honestly find them a bit scary as they seem to get deep into the system. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for how to trick my Nexus 7 into thinking it is in the U.S. without having to go too extreme? Thanks!

I pretty much want to back up my Nexus 7.

Excuse my newbie questioning...

The question is obvious. I just want to make my experience a little more personal (and a little more cooler). Anyone?

I have done this on other devices but I am having a few issues accomplishing this on my N7.

Just passing on the information since I manager a few Android developers. It seems that the infamous "Issue 40065" which deals with the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 having Wifi connectivity issues using Android 4.2 isn't being taken serious by Google.

I don't think I can but I am hardly an expert at such things.

Okay, I need to check my GPU Clock speed/frequency. Is there an App that can assist or?

Simple question and I think the answer is no but...

I have heard good things TWRP but only used CWM. Any advantages or benefits to using TWRP for recovery instead of CWM?

So, how can I re-install the bootloader on my Nexus 7?

I am not talking about Skype. How would I configure my Nexus 7 to operate as a phone?
