One of the things that I loved about running the Samsung Netbook community site SammyNetbook.com was helping out fellow owners. In fact I’d say the key role of the site was acting as first line community support for people from all over the globe.
I am hoping that this site will ultimately fulfil the same role through both the blog and forum.
However community support is no substitute for official support and there will be times when our community Nexus 7 forum won’t be the appropriate place to help. So it’s good to see that Google have got their Nexus 7 support area up and running already, you can find it at this address.
Interested in getting a preview of the Nexus 7 manual? You’ll find a link on the support page. Just look for the “Nexus 7 Guidebook (PDF)”
Getting help from Google
There are a number of ways to contact the official support channels:
- Contact us: This allows you to pass your phone number to the support team for a call back.
- Troubleshooting: The usual knowledge base type area full of common questions.
- Nexus 7 Guidebook: That’s right why not RTFM for a change!
- Helpline phone number: Give them a call!
Please let us know how you get on and why not share your problem, and hopefully the subsequent resolution, with us in the forum.
Good luck with the support line!

Hi Ellen, try posting in the forum, it’ll get more visibility there. Failing to start up can be a battery connection issue, eg loose connection etc. Start a thread and let us know what you have tried (eg factory reset, etc)
Cheers.
hi, my nexus will frequently turn off, not completely off, but kicks me out to the password screen…. likew i said it doea this frequently…. what do i do?
My son received a Nexuz 7 for Christmas and loves it. The problem is he had a pass word where you draw like a diagram. His little brother tried beyond the number of times to try and get into the Nexus. It is totally locked up. It will not accept his password so i have tried to reset the Nexus and start over. My problem is I make it to the step where is says recovery mode but after that I cannot figure out how to get the android robot to appear and find the reset option. It says hold power button down while pusing up on the volume button. I’ve tried that numerous times but it either turns off the nexus or the google comes up and it just sits there. What am I doing wrong??? Please help.
Sorry I meant to say the word google comes up and just sits there.
Hi Ronda, I have posted up some info on how to recover a lost password. Hope that helps. Please post in the forum if you have further problems as you are much more likely to get responses there. YouTube videos are a great guide to doing a factory reset – but you shouldn’t have to do a full reset.
