Data sync between devices - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Does this exist in stock android I keep hearing about it but none of my games between my nexus 4 and 7 are in sync.

As far as I know you need root to sync your game progress...and even then its not automatic, you have to do it manually with an app called data sync. I've downloaded the app but haven't used it yet as I just got the tablet yesterday and I'm still in the process of setting everything up.
So, to answer your question, no that feature is not available in stock android yet. Some places said that the new play games app from google would allow this, but it doesn't at the moment.

Helium should work. Its in the app store. No root required.

If I am not wrong, this only works with games supporting Google play service, e.g. Stickman Golf 2, Temple Run 2 etc.

Which Office App should I use for Nexus 7?

I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

Kingsoft office... And it is free

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

+1 for Kingsoft it really is great. Like iElvis said, I have no idea how its free but its fully featured works great!

Thanks for the king soft suggestion. It is much better than quick office pro I got for free on Amazon.

I like king soft but its very laggy. Anyone else ?
I posted a thread exactly like this and the general consensus was Quick Office Pro HD. I got off Amazon since it doesn't show up in the Play store. It works awesome, integrates with Dropbox too.

I have king soft installed and it works perfectly, haven't experienced any issues.

[Game] Dungeon Hunter 3

Anyone playing this? This was turning into my favorite game since they added multiplayer but now its unable to start. Has anyone else had this problem. I would hate to have to reinstall the game and loose my progress but I'm not sure when a fix is coming for it. Any ideas?
Use titanium backup and backup the app data before you screw around. Does it work at all on the N7?

It worked prior to the update, now its in a bootloop. I was starting to think that it was a problem with jellybean devices b/c I had the same problem on my phone but after trying again it now works. I've been reading the comments and it seems that the problem may be due to it not recognizing wifi only as an internet connection.
No problem here.
Everything was working fine until yesterday I noticed there is an update for it. I ignored it at first but when launch the game it stuck at the black loading screen. I went back and installed the update and everything worked again.
off topic, anyone has tip on how to use archer? I can't seem to get the control the shooting direction.
No problem here. Awsem now multi player.. Iphone has it for a while I believe..

Kind of off topic and on topic. I notice this is free in the Play store...Gameloft doesn't do free...so is this a "in app" purchase kind of game?

Yes, it's much like their other recent "free" games like MiB3, Ice Age Village, etc. where to get to the better items/unlocks you end up having to buy the extras via in app purchases.
I tried this game and don't like it. The first dungeon hunter was an actual game. I don't know where it turned into a "survive the wave" game.
Heroes Call THD is very similar but an actual, raid the dungeon and loot that mofo, game

Bank of America for Tablets

Would any one be so kind as to post a copy of the the " Bank of America for Tablets" apk? It won't allow me to download it from the market.
Something just feels scary asking for a Banking app on a public forum. Its extremely easy to tamper with it and give you a malicious version... I'd watch out with requests like this. :angel:

I understand the risks and appreciative your concern. I am not planning to log in. Just trying to test the UI with Nexus 7. I do check to see who it is coming from (reputation). Thank you though.
The app launches, but when I login it just hangs at a black screen
I've been looking for that app as well :-/

Can someone post current version. Also to address safety concerns if you have safe pass enabled for every log in no one can sign in without a code being sent by text to your phone... So kosher...
Are there 2 separate versions? I have the BOA app on my N7 it works great. Is there another version besides the one I got on play store?

Yeah there's the bofa app for phone and one for tablet. Tablet let's you use myportfolio and has some enhanced features. The app available in the market for the n7 is the phone app.

I found this link
https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/android-tablet-banking-app.go
Where you're supposed to be able to email it to yourself but ive done it twice and it wont work. Why does the Play Store link say our devices aren't compatible when we're using tablets? Lol
Edit: T_T got the email, it literally just links direct to the play store again. What a waste of potential.
I'm also looking for the current APK. The older one linked here installs fine but unfortunately BoA has updated their app so as soon as you try and open it the app sends you to the market for an update and since the N7 isn't compatible, won't let you download.

This kinda sucks, just picked up the new model nexus 7. This is my first tablet, and I was kinda excited to see the difference between tablet apps and phone apps. Both American Express and Bank of America won't let me download their tablet versions. American Express won't even allow the regular mobile version either!

Hbo Go

Here is a link for anyone who wants HboGo on their tablet. Enjoy!

Downloading now. Thank you!
Wow the table ui is sweet!!
Why does the n7 play store have it listed as incompatible again?
*edit: spoke too soon...seems videos won't play and also nav and notification bars don't disappear. Anyway, I hope when HBO adds official N7 support we get to keep the tablet ui. Its so much cooler than the phone ui.

Max go isn't updated yet to be jb compatible is my guess. HBO go was literally just updated today so I'm assuming max go will also be updated soon.

Beaming to a Samsung S3 not working

I don't think it works. I tried it with a S4 and a N7 and it hasn't worked. I don't think Sammy's sbeam is compatible with the N7 nfc transfer... Two Google devices yeah, but a Sammy and a Google device? Doesn't work for me...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I have a nexus and an S3 and it works fine. I tried replicating the issue and it worked fine for me. First question is, are you on a custom ROM? Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but just putting that out there.
Second, my nfc settings on S3 are with android beam on, so beam off.
Also make sure that you are placing the nfc sensors together, as it can be difficult to find on the nexus.
Lastly, I love using an app called SuperBeam, which allows me to share files between my two devices. It's like S beam for galaxy phones, except for all nfc android phones.
Best of luck!

Yes i checked and double checked it only transfers via bluetooth if i turn of Sbeam on my Note 2
All mine does is open QuickPic. Nothing transfers.

My s3 also s4 when trying to beam to my N7 are both directed to the play store. When I run an aosp romn the s4 it works fine with the n7 and android beam. I think touchwiz messes it up.

Disable S-Beam and enable Android Beam and it will work with the Nexus 7 or any NFC enabled android device.
it will work only by opening the bluetooth not the wifi for the transfer...so for large files it's not so fast transfer. ..
