Hillaeiously, the Nexus 7 is working like a brand new unit. Not sure what happened when it had its little spasm and rebooted but it seems to have cured it's own ills.
Really bugs me how retail responds to the threat of online sales by doing less of what differentiates them from online sales.
Aside from a pair of converse high tops and a bottle of bourbon, the shopping excursion was a bust.
The jeweler managed to change the battery in my Mondaine but failed to reattach the back. The Seiko outsmarted her. Also looked at a wedding band to replace the one I threw in the trash nine years ago when Sidekick and I were being stupid and decided to divorce. Was told that they couldn't resize rings there and it would have to be sent off for two weeks. I left before my opinion of the place could chew through the restraints.
Finding a GOOD leather coat was also too much to ask. Unless I wanted to look like a pretend biker, of course. My sense of fashion is in a completely diffferent neighborhood. I'll go to Nashville for it. Will look for a real jeweler while I'm up there. Not one staffed by air headed eye candy.
Jeweler managed to change battery in the Mondaine but could not get the case back together. Would not let her near the Seiko. No suitable coat found. Did manage sneakers and a bottle of Makers.
Running like it did out of the box after the reboot. I'm not fooled though. Evil lurks in this thing. It's just trying to regain my trust so it doesn't go on the cart.
Delete instant message app I no longer use. Nexus goes catatonic Old notifications start popping up and cannot be cleared. Spontaneously reboots.
I'm done here. This is a lost cause.
The question raised is, "Why does a device that is almost never used need to be factory reset"
No flurry of app additions and deletions. No usage patterns that would cause things to go off kilter. It just sits there. Doing nothing.
