Q: Community Promotion Ads - 2014

Grace NoteIt's the time of the year again, namely it is December 2013, and so we shall now refresh our Community Promotion Ads for the new year. What are Community Promotion Ads? Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purp...

hoo, that was quick
 
that was swatted before I got to it
 
GOOOOD :D
TTL = 9min, wow, we're sooo goood :D
Guess that one had no chance to get into Google's search index #D
 
hm, no one ever adds community ads beyond the twitter one in the past 2 years. wonder if I should throw my apps into the hat
 
@BryanDenny I was thinking that recently, but decided it wasn't worth it for the small time remaining until the changeover
if you do, I will :-)
@Izzy's book should go on there as well!
 
2:34 PM
@DanHulme which are your apps?
 
@DanHulme Did I read that wrong, or doesn't it require at least 6 upvotes to be included?
 
I believe that's how it works
 
@DanHulme Into Google's search index? They are already in there. At least I always get some links in the search results :)
 
but I'm sure a grateful public wouldn't mind getting my apps some exposure
@Izzy no, into the community ads list. It sounds like something that might be interesting to many visitors here.
 
2:41 PM
@DanHulme @BryanDenny Well, and with #2 you had the hat to throw in :D ("The Hat Game")
 
lol
 
@DanHulme Ah, that even makes sense. But my books are all in German. Does that matter? I mean, we also have a lot of German members here. Even amongst the mods.
Trouble is, I'm no graphics designer, and the box has special requirements.
 
@Izzy I'd vote for them anyway
 
@DanHulme Thanks! Lemme see what the deadline is, maybe I can come up with something...
 
there's no deadline: the vote just keeps rolling until next December
 
2:47 PM
Ah, OK. I cannot see any rules concerning the, well, licenses etc. Shall I put the paper books (Amazon links), Kindle versions (again Amazon, and paid), or does it only permit the free ones? Guess I'd rather take the latter, or it looks like "product placement" and abuse.
 
@Izzy it can be anything! that's why we can even consider advertising apps on there
the only issue is whether some people (maybe even SE staff) might downvote commercial products/services to stop them showing up
 
true
 
but there's only one way to find out
 
@DanHulme Right: Making two posts. One for the CC stuff (epub/pdf), and one for the paid stuff (paper). OTOH, on the page-to-link for the CC stuff one can find the other Amazon links as well.

Heya!
Can anyone help me to upgrade the Android OS of the tablet.
Can I upgrade the Nexus 7 (4.2) to kitkat?
 
Yes. You can either use the OTA update, or download a ROM image from Google and follow the official instructions to flash it.
 
How can i know this Nexus 7 (4.2) can be upgradable till this OS version?
Can you give the links to me to do that?
 
I'm sure you can google for it just as well as I can.
 
Is it the wifi Nexus 7 or the 3g model?
By the way, KitKat is 4.4, not 4.2.
 
I've Google Nexus 7C which support the 3G as well
Yup, I know
My question simply was can i upgrade my existing Nexus 7C which have 4.2 to 4.4
@DanHulme Thanks :) I'll try these
 
3:55 PM
What's a "7C"? If you've got the 3G version, you're dependent on your carrier for the update, unless you want to flash a ROM yourself.
But, yes, all Nexus 7's (including the 2012 version) have/will get 4.4.
 
I'm pretty sure there's a question on the site about this, with instructions on how to do it if you want to flash it yourself (instead of waiting for an OTA update).
 
Ah, you're in India. Can't help you there.
 
why
 
Because I'm in the States. I don't really know anything about what the carriers in India might or might not be doing, nor what special modifications might have been made to the tablet for that market. It's not that I'm unwilling, just that I don't have the knowledge.
 
4:02 PM
oh okay
To upgrade the Tablet Android OS which support the SIM card depends on the carriers . Is it so?
 
@TGMCians It's only true if you originally got the device from a carrier. If you got a 'stock' device, and put a SIM card in it, it'll still get the updates from Google.
Tablets with 3G are no different to phones in that respect.
 
No, I originally got the device from the shopping website. say ebay not specific carriers.
 
In that case the carrier isn't involved at all.
 
So In my case I'm assuming i can upgrade without any restriction..Is it right?
Okay
 
Hasn't this device ever offered to update itself to 4.3?
 
4:09 PM
Not yet. I just brought it few days back!
 
oh

LOL Meta.SO is quite funny these days. Question: "My topbar suddenly has gone black. How can I get the old colors back?" Comment: "Possibly a duplicate of the front page" #D So there are a few more people not happy with the new design...

@Izzy Every time Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. change something in their interface in a major way, there is the inevitable series of "How do I go back to the old <X>..." questions on Web Applications. It's predictable, and it'll die down soon enough.
