This happens to GNex as well and it is up to the AppDev to do it, not Google. I do hope that Google points this out and encourage Dev to make full screen app during IO but apparently they didn't... sigh

Hope that newer games utilize the full screen just like YouTube. Just add a menu button available in game and it's done!

BTW, you can hide the Navy bar in Custom ROM.

Sorry I'm not referring to you. I understand in your part it was HopShopGo that made the transaction for you and no proxy involved.

I was referring to Mikelanding, he bought the Nexus 7 using a malaysian credit card and if I'm correct, you would have to get into the Google Play device website first right?
It just that I didn't know before that you can even pay through a secure transaction USING a proxy as maybe Google Checkout security can detect that you are indeed using a proxy and therefore the transaction is rejected.

I don't really know as I have never tried it before. Nvm, carry on.


Nope. Have no interest in bulk order. Just searching the cheapest way to get a Nexus 7 for myself aha.
There is someone though in our garage sale doing bulk and taking pre-orders. You can search around.

Will it be seriously cheaper? Unless you got someone to carry for you back from US
Else based on what I read here. It's like 215USD+60USD postage for 8GB version. That will be RM865

60USD is the USPS Priority with insurance is it?

You guys think there will be a problem if just use cheap economy postage one?

Aghh those 60USD hurts my head. Guyysss we need to bulk and no markup involved. Me so poorrrrr

I think need add another 6USD for insurance.

Was just playing with the calculator. The dimension and weight(i put 1kg) I simply insert on estimation

Added on July 4, 2012, 2:41 pmafter have a livechat with hopshopgo, it seems like the ShipForMe and BuyForMe is available for google play. The shipping rate is also much cheaper around 22.5USD for 0.5kg.

But how do we checkout with google play since it is not supported

Hey,

My friend back out so I can order another one, if you are interested let me know. We share the cost.

Currently my cost is as follows:


Preferred shipping option:
Free or lowest cost U.S. Domestic Shipping

Special instruction:
Purchase remaining items Subtotal $249.00
Service charge(10%) $24.90

Total $273.90

There will be shipping charges later estimated to be USD27/=

I can now order another unit without the buyforme using usproxy so it should be USD249/= or USD199/= depending on the model. I will then get them to ship to HopShopGo to combine the shipping and ship to me. I believe there will be a small charges there.

PM me since you ask first.

I used BuyForMe and was charge 10% services charge. If you use the following proxy http://usfreeproxy.com then you will be able to login to PreOrder at google.com/nexus/#7 then you just use HopShopGo US address that you setup in your google.com/wallet account.

Should be pretty simple.

I try to use my malaysia credit card on the google checkout page, i get the below warning

"This seller does not accept payments from your location."

1) Any idea how do you use your malaysia credit card to order it?
2) Did you open a new google gmail by using the US ip to order it?

I was told that we use google wallet that tie to you Malaysian credit card. Use google wallet to checkout.

Who already owns this ?

hi jack, we need to add the hopshopgo US address to our google wallet right?

btw, did you use the express or standard shipping?

Bulk no markup involved? ppl ain't doing it for charity, it involves some handling fees of coz u have to pay them up. Even u do bulk u also need to pay the shipping, 1 ppl limited to 2 units bro.

I used HopShopGo the last time when I purchase some used modem on ebay. The weight was 6KG and ship from Portland to KL via FedEx was about USD57/= which is pretty competitive for express.

Yes we add the US Address to Google Wallet as the default shipping.

But when checkout time, google need us to log in to our gmail account to checkout. On gmail account i already have my credit card detail and only thing i change is the shipping address to change it to hopshopgo that given us the us address.

Any idea how to order the nexus 7 with malaysia credit card?

check out mikelanding post


Edited...

I order one additional on behalf of gin&tonic just now with usproxy (I created one free 30 days trial). Initially it also reject my order because my credit card address was Malaysia. Later I change my credit card address to the US address and redo the transaction and it went through. There is a USD13.99 shipping charges from google play. No tax for my HopShopGo US address.

So gin&tonic there is no shipping date indicate on the confirmation for now. Will keep you updated and PM you when it is here.

jackdon

Damn... speak too soon... google wallet was unable to verify the transaction (must be due to the address) and the transaction was cancel and wallet account suspended.... Hmmm I shall have to sort this out.

So you mean that i need to sign up for new google account to order nexus 7?

quite curious that is the nexus 7 is eligible for any import duties? perhaps no???

Hi,

Well I tried to order another unit using google wallet with my credit card tied to it.

1. Initially the card was with my Malaysia billing address.
2. With USProxy I am able to go to Google Play to pre order
3. Check out with google wallet and it denied because card address is Malaysia.
4. Went into google wallet and update address to US HopShopGo address
5. Logon to google play and preorder then check out completed
6. Got email confirmation from google play ... hurray
7. 10 minutes Google Play cancel my order and suspend my wallet account
8. reason - cannot verify card address

Hmmmm so for this to work you must have a Google Wallet account with credit card that already has been verify. So bro gin&tonic looks like no bulk order from me

jackdon.

so that means a card with malaysia address wont work? need to use the BuyForMe
