New Gmail - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Has anyone seen the new Gmail that was supposed to drop this week?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yep, if you're on a custom ROM you can get it through Gapps, otherwise just wait until it's finished rolling out. There's very little in the update, just a more Google Now-like card style for conversations and some other stuff most people probably won't even notice.

Yes - Google have been pushing it for a few days now and I read it will take around a week until everyone gets it.
Several Android sites had direct links to the apk on their mirror sites which is how I got it.

Earlyer, Google updates were available for all users allmost at the same time. But nowadays there are so many Android users, that they rollout updates over a longer time.
Just wait.

Loads of sites have the APK got mine from BeginnersTech http://www.beginnerstech.co.uk/gmail-for-android-updated-with-card-ui/

Google+ Hangouts.

Anyone know how to start a Google+ Hangout from the phone. I noticed Google heavily advertising the feature on ads for the phone I saw on YouTube.

Google plus hasn't been updated yet to support. Rumor has it, they will push out the updated app today.

The only way I've been able to is by JOINING a hangout. The app actually used to have a huddle button, but it got changed to messenger and not sure if it let you start a hangout or not. But I have seen the over advertisement for g+ hangouts when they should be showing off the phones features instead if an app
I don't know if there is a way to start a hangout via mobile. :-/

Have you tried Talkatone?
There's no way to put the current / latest version (v2.2.0.1344) to work properly on the Nexus 7 or any other Jelly Bean devices for that matter.
According to the developers, they're "hard at work to support Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)".

I was under the impression it was more of a "not being a phone" thing then a jellybean thing. Does Viber work on tablets now?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I see the latest version of viber which has just been released is jelly bean compatible however when I try to download it says my device is incompatible. Hope they just forgot to change the android version number!

They said the same thing for ICS before. Viber is slow to update.
They finally updated it today with Jelly Bean support!

You need to use a different number for activation for devices without a sim (old sim or someone's else's phone).
Did you get the apk from the viber support Page or just from the play store?

viber support... the market says not compatible with device

Your elite email and password?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I think it is labeled as incompatible as it doesn't work with 4.2 yet. It won't let you enter your elite email + pass even when side loading . Unless my n7 is just poo.

It looks like the latest version from the store can be side loaded fine...

Possible for someone with a more post could upload the the most recent apk from the Play Store?
Not offense to those that did upload it, but I would be more comfortable installing an app that requires my account info be uploaded from someone more active on the forums, can never be to careful about account info these days.

Nope, mines fine. Still showing pounds and with no magazine section. Got it on my N7 and HTC Explorer, both on 4.1.2

My nexus isn't downloading apps properly either. The version is showing 3.10.9 but apps won't download. I had the same problem on my Motorola Razr i, but fixed that by turning off wifi and trying download over mobile network, when it then prompted me to accept new t&c and all is well. But obviously can't do that with wifi only nexus. I did read a tutorial about clearing cache from market and then also from one of the Google services apps, but can't remember which one.
Im using an unrooted 4.2 JB
Tried uninstalling update and installing the apk but to no avail. Apps still won't download.
I found a workaround but not a fix. I tried using a VPN service and it just started working.
Mine looks to have updated but to be perfectly honest i cant see any difference whatsoever!

Mine connected instantly, located and rang my phone just fine. My brother has a S3 and he is also having problems, he has multiple devices showing up (which he has).
Even though I hadn't at the time, you could try activating Android Device Manager in Device Administrator by checking the tick box it and trying again. I was using Chrome (which also did the work on my brothers S3 lol)

If you're having trouble tracking, try signing out of your online Google account. Go back to Android Device Manager then sign in again. Works for me
