Good read & thanx - sounds like a bad deal that turned out good. Love 
those. Never knew Netflix was so picky, good to know.

The Nexus I picked up on fleaBay has screen issues:

So I got a refund and ordered a Certified Refurbished unit through Amazon. 
Seller said to keep the bad unit, so I’ll have one to hack the sh!t out of.

The only downside so far is the Netflix app won’t run on a rooted/unlocked 
Android setup. Found and tried several builds of the Netflix app claimed to 
work but no joy. Found this this morning:

Since the Amazon unit will come with 4.XX, I may just try it before doing 
anything else. Or I may upgrade it to 5.XX (last stock image) and try to get 
the bad unit to run Netflix. Next week I’ll want to do something totally 
different.

Anyway, I see many hours ahead, lost to the new (to me) world of Android. 
Thanks for reading
