Probably stupid question, but I would appreciate if one provide exact step by step instructions. I'm on unrooted stock 2.3.4. I know that it should be doable in 2.3.4 out of the box. I'm not allowed to root corporate phone.

There is no screenshotting out of the box. You must have download a screenshot app. There are a few the don't require root and worm well.

Strange...
Google says it should be doable with holding both power+home on 2.3.4, but it doesn't work. We also tried few apps to no avail.
That's why I ask to be a little bit more specific.

I've never heard that about Gingerbread. I believe native screenshots were implemented in Ice Cream Sandwich.

I downloaded the browser.apk and have tried just double tapping it to install but it won't let me.

Go into developer options or apps in settings and make sure to check "install unknown apps"
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Erm
You can just check install apps from unknown sources in the security part of your settings. On a side note, please watch this video...

Thanks for the link to the video:thumbup:
After searching it looks like nobody has successfully installed the stock ICS browser on the n7 without having to root the device.
I'll just start getting used to chrome then

Kind of annoying... is there a setting to stop this? Or I may have got some malware?

I've never heard of this. After installing an app in the Play Store, it just opens by itself?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean either, but I find it an enlightening process to use something like Autostarts every now and then to keep an eye on new apps and widgets to see when they're triggering themselves.

Well, basically it's every app, no matter l install from play store or I side load an apk. It wasn't like this initially, but I cannot figure out what triggered this.

Is there anyway to get the Asus screen shot shortcut (press and hold recent apps) on the Nexus 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Press Power and Volume Down simultaneously.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I am aware of power and volume down, but the design of the buttons combined with the folio case make it hard to access them. I am looking for an on screen shortcut like Asus uses on the TF300. Thanks.

Do you mean something like this. I don't know if you can add to the power menus on stock.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes, something like that would be great.

What ROM are you using.....I doubt it is possible on stock.

You can do that with AOKP

Kaos Droid has that too.

I found an app called "Screenshot It" that adds a shortcut to the notification area. Thanks everyone for the input.
yeah AOKP has a power menu option to add it when you hold the power button, very easy to use
If your device is rooted, you can use a program called utter! (a voice activated assistant with a lot of voice commands that runs in the background). Shake your device to wake up utter! and say "Take a screenshot". Most commands in utter! do not require a rooted device but a few do.
If your ok aokp, you can change a softkey to a screen shot one. Really cool.

Be very very careful sideloading anything from unknown sources. Have you checked American Express' website? Legit apps from businesses will more often than not be posted on their websites.
I am interested in finding this out as well. I want to use apps like ESPN scorecenter, nfl 12, and Conan tablet app.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Just use your phone to download the app back it up and transfer the apk to your tablet and install it here is a guide

That works nicely, thanks. But what about apps for which I do not have a compatible device to source from? I assume I am sol unless someone else posts the apk?

Do a Google search a lot of companies post the apk's on their website

Today I read a post that talked about some app of quiet hours.
I my mind is not bad I remember that android had this on 4.0.4???? Am I wrong? Cause my nexus 4 on 4.2.2 doesn't have it.
Thanks

Not on stock. CM has had it since gingerbread though. Maybe even froyo.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
PA must have added it in because I have it and I'm running PA.
You could also use the app called - Battery Widget. It has the feature to set up quiet hours. You could also setup a tasker script for the same.
Thanks , mm yeah, I thought that was a stock option.
It would be nice google to add it.

Google just puts the bare minimum and if you want more. Do it yourself and install a app or flash a custom rom. That's the joy of having android, the possibilities of adding things yourself
I personally don't use profiles.
