To do what? share files? one control the other?
You could pair them by bluetooth I'd imagine. Not sure what Bluetooth profiles both use/have.

To share files tried Bluetooth the nexus paired to the iPod but the iPod couldn't pair to the nexus.

You could always get an iOS app that can upload and download to and from a storage service like Dropbox and get an Android app that can connect to whatever service you chose for your iPod to download and upload. You could sync through your chosen service as well so you don't have to do everything manually.
It's a little inconvenient but probably you're best bet if Bluetooth isn't working for you.

The files are to big for that.

This is not possible unless both the iPod and N7 are rooted (jailbroken). If they are, it's easy.
There are a couple of iOS apps in Cydia that can make your iPod visible on a windows network. If your Nexus is rooted, using the Samba filesharing app will let you access the files on either device from the other provided they're on the same wifi network.

Paul over at Mocado has TeamViewer Server running on the N7. So you could use teamviewer on the iDevice and remote into the N7.
Might be cool on an iPad or something. If Teamviewer even has an iDevice app, which I'm probably sure they do.

nexus 7 as Minecraft PE hotspot server
Am searching for a way to do something like this....let me explain, and you can tell me if I am just way out there...
I bought Minecraft PE for my nexus 7, and for both my son's iPad and iTouch.
Is it possible to run software on the Nexus 7, so that it can act as a server, and the other two can connect to it....like on a LAN...?
This would allow us to play together in the van....if it is possible to make the Nexus act like a wireless Hotspot of sorts....
Not sure....but this is the place for people who know all things Android...
Hope this makes sense...
Thanks for any help...

Connecting a galaxy nexus to a 7

Hello. I got my hands on one of these tablets yesterday and I really love it. However I have a galaxy nexus as well. When I'm using my tablet and I get a text message, I would like to respond from my tablet. The blackberry platform does this with their blackberry bridge. Is there something like this that would work with android? Or would I have to replace the stock messaging application with some third party cloud messaging app? Thank you

Try cloud sms...I've been following its development here on xda. It's in the play store for 99 cents you install it on both devices, then you can use your stock messaging app on your phone just like normal. You use the cloud sms app on your tab and all messages will sync. It works perfectly and sounds like it does exactly what you're looking for.

I've used air droid to do this, but its not native (you connect using the browser). I'm sure there's some third party app out there to do it.
Tabletsms/desksms by koush is fantastic. I've been using it for a couple months now and I love it

Mighty Text is working on one, I believe. They have an extension for the chrome browser on your PC, which I use often. So hopefully it will get done for the tablets. But you can still use it through a browser on the tablet.
Tablet talk seems pretty good. You can use it over WiFi or directly with bluetooth.
I am using tablet talk. It lets you answer phone calls, too. I have my N7 mounted in my car to play podcasts. It & my GNex are bluetooth-connected to the car's head unit. When the phone rings the caller ID info comes up on my N7 & I can answer it. It also does texts, too. I don't do that while driving
I found an app called dinamotxt that seems to be working. Sketchy at times, I think I will purchase tablet talk, mainly because I have Bluetooth everywhere, and I don't necessarily have WiFi. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions

[Q] Stolen or lost

Hi,
My Nexus 7 was stolen or lost yesterday. I have no security app installed but I have the lock screen activated.
Can I locate it?
What should I do?
Kind regards

Be more careful with your things?
=P
Sorry mate, without anything already installed I think you're out of luck

Search the forum. Looks like there is a way if it, by the force of nature, connect by itself to an open wifi. You can let a app already queueu to download. I guess there is some security app that dont need your intervention on tablet. I guess.
Good look.

Download plan b from the play store.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I have looked into Plan B and pushing it to install. But it can only install if the device connects via WiFi, and I don't see how it can connect to any WiFi unless it comes back to my house....

[Q] Any apps that can read and send sms from other android device?

Is there an application that can read and send SMS from other Android devices, let say Xperia sola, and that I can read in my Nexus 7? I have searched the Play store and none that I have found or something I have missed. A help from you guys will be highly appreciated.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Not that I know of, but try downloading Air Droid on your phone and rather then going to the website on your computer go on it using your tablet. Should work, but you'll have to be on your browser in order to see your SMS and what not. Just throwing out ideas
That might be good. But reading and sending SMS might keep be handy. Thanks. Still anyone?

I use cloud sms also. The developer did all the beta testing right here in the N7 forum for theming and apps, which I was fortunate to be a part of. The transport is via internet. Works wonderfully.
Tablet sms is also available on the market. Higher price, and the two devices must be on the same wifi network.

I'm using mysms (I guess e.e. cummings named it) on my phone and mysms Tablet on my Nexus. I believe they sync through the cloud, but however they do it, I have exactly the same SMS send and receive abilities on both devices. Unlike some other solutions, it uses my existing phone number.
I use tablet sms. It was a little higher price but IMO, it was worth it after trying just about every other one out there.
It can sync via wifi or bluetooth. I use bluetooth.
I can send and receive sms from the tablet and they still show up on my phone. I can receive picture messages on the tab with tablet sms. cant send pics with it yet though.
Setup was really easy for me, it has a nice pop up option so when you are browsing on the tab, your sms will pop up if you choose and you can reply right there without exiting whatever app you were in and carry on when you are done.
I got mysms it syncs all messages you have on your phone, and you can send as well, works really well I haven't had no problems.

Mighty Text.
Works great.
Use desksms for your phone and tabletsms for your tablet. Its 5$ per year with a 2 week trial. I use it on my tablets. It syncs through Google so as long as you're connected to WiFi you're good. Real quick too.

Ditto. Just had a whole convo last night with my hubby while I was babysitting. Phone was charging and my outlet wasn't nearby so I used Tablet Talk. It also has the option to connect via Blue tooth, if you're somewhere not connected to WiFi.

It's my understanding that MySMS has a Chrome extension, too, so you're able to text on your computer as well.

Sending file through wifi direct?

How do I send files through WiFi direct? On all my other devices I can go to any file manager and choose to send via WiFi direct... This seems to be not available. Why? I feel like this a crucial method of sending large files way faster than Bluetooth.. If anyone can help me out it would be great!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
WiFi direct is a function of the OS. You have to have a program that is capable of using it. I have transferred files via WiFi direct using OfficeSuite Pro successfully.
You can download WiFi direct. It's kind of hit and miss
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
yeah thank you!
wifi direct seems like such a use full feature, why it isnt more widely implemented i do not know,
but yeah ive tried wifishoot and yeah any wifidirect apps seem to be hit n miss, plus with standard os, it doesnt help you much and doesnt seem able to send many files by standard? (gallery, image, share, no wifi direct option most of the time)?
Don't understand why that is I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I just got this nexus which I sold my Galaxy Tab for and I find it ridiculous that I can't send files through wifi direct because bluetooth is so slow and I don't have an external memory for this Nexus so it makes it so much harder now to transfer files without wifi direct. I see this as a big let down and I expect the Nexus to have this ability throughout the whole operating system. Why is wifi direct even an option in the Nexus if we can use it for anything I even connected with another phone through wifi direct and had that other phone try to send me a file on the Nexus blocks it because it says it doesn't allow media sharing. I'm a bit let down

I use an app called peerdeviceconnect. It's on the play store and links two or more devices that have the app installed. Then when you select an app to share the option of using it is shown. It has the create Wifi direct network option built into it.

Office mobile

All, hey. I see Microsoft finally blessed us with some free office. Working good on my HTC one but not available on play store with n7? What's up with that? Is it possible to get this on the n7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It works (as far as I can tell), just find the apk and send it via Bluetooth to your tab and install.
Yes, it works! Use "app backup and restore" to grab the apk file from your phone and use that to install it on your n7.

You can use the App Market Helper to make the playstore think your tablet is a phone, I just checked and Office Mobile app shows up on my tablet.

This, I've had office suite pro for a while now and haven't had any complaints.
When I browse office mobile page in playstore, it says only compatible with Nexus 4. Says, not compatible with kindle hd and nexus 7. Same thing for Amex mobile. May be i can extract the apk of amex mobile from my nexus 4 and see if it works with my nexus 7.
+1 for office suite pro
Kingston and Quick Office are my favorites.

Why MS is not porting Office to Android tablet devices ? They just do it on iPad ...
