Thanks! But is it possible to extend your screen or is it only possible to copy is?
Any free alternatives?

TeamViewer?

It works fine with teamviewer

@brokmaker @gsmyth He is not talking about remote desktop solutions. He is asking for an application that makes your tablet into a second monitor for your computer. iDisplay is one of the only alps that does this.

Got it
i found a solution for this problem. i'm running windows 8 and idisplay would only mirror my screen. This is what i did:
go to screen resolution(right mouse button on desktop) and press detect. In my case 2 additional monitors popped up. turn one of these screens on and extend your main monitor. you only have to do this once!!
next start your teamviewer app on your tablet and connect to your laptop/pc. it should detect the monitor you just created so now you can switch to it. thats it. perhaps not the best solution but i couldn't think of something else and trust me i've tried.
about the performance... for me its just as good as idisplay or even better
and a bonus tip i want to share. install connectify on your laptop/pc and connect to your personal hotspot with your tablet. this wil speed things up quite a bit.

[Q] Can I use the Nexus 7 as Wlan USB stick?

Hi,
I'd like to use my Nexus 7 as a Wlan Stick for my Desktop PC. Is this possible?
I am running the CM night lies.
Thanks a lot.
Probably but can't you just plug in a wifi adapter to your Desktop instead?

Sure I could. But I don't have one

freedom pop

hi, is anyone using freedom pop with their nexus 7? it seems like an easy (and free!) way to get mobile data on the tablet. i guess you would need the little hotspot device, so it's two things to carry and charge.

I actually managed to use the usb stick with an OTG cable. It just worked without any configuring.

Already installed drivers for the N4? Using correct data cable?
Even tried wireless solutions as air droid?
But before you do all these things, is your N4 visible in your pc- explorer?
For further questions just contact me. I'm willing to support you.
Try rebooting. That's what fixed it for me lol. You could also try changing USB Storage mode to PTP or MTP from whatever it's on now.

Had the same problem. I was able to connect it as a camera, but not in mtp mode. I moved all my files into the dcim folder under then used root explorer to get them out of there.

+1 for AirDroid. So simple and reliable that even my 70 year old father uses it.

I use FolderSync. I have it scheduled to automatically back up anything I care about every night at 2am. It just happens and I don't even have to think about it. AirDroid also works fine.

That sounds awesome! but I guess you have to leave your computer ON all night, ain't that right?
I just use ES File Explorer and just transfer them to my Windows shared folder on my network. I rarely use USB cables to transfer files at home unless they're massive.

I connect mine all the time to my windows 7 PC. You have to remember that it connects as an MTP device so it doesn't get assigned a drive letter but it should show up as a device that you can explore.
I use Windows 8 and I use the USB to transfere files between the SD Card and the Laptop.
Connect your phone up to pc while booted into android. Now check your PC's device manager for a failed mtp entry.
If you find one I'll tell you how to fix it.

Why symbian hotspot makes my 2nd-gen N7 freeze?

I use a Nokia N7 as a wifi hotspot for my nexus7.
It is an application called Joiku spot.
But every time I launch a hot spot, my nexus 7 will scan it and become frozen.
I can see the page of WIFI but nothing in it.
No available wifi name is in it.
How to handle?
And what is this "symbian" and that "nokia 7"? ;-]

Probably meant Nokia E7. I don't know why it would be locking up. Is the tablet locking up or the WiFi list?
The best solution would be to simply slam the Nokia in the trash and update that brick.
I would test to make sure the N7 isn't locking up with all tethered wifis or just your Nokia's. I tether mine with my Galaxy Nexus all the time.

Nexus 10 as second monitor

Hey guys! So I currently have a Nexus 7 that I use splashtop with to use as a second monitor for my laptop, but the 7 is just too small. I was wondering if anyone has used a Nexus 10 as a second monitor and how they like it and if it's worth it? Currently using a 14inch 1440p laptop with it as well. Thanks!
Its okay for static information. Best if used as 2nd monitor for a laptop. Not as useful on a desktop.
