How to to get the $25 google credit?. I got nothing..

when i open my NEXUS, it asked me to connect to wifi and login into my google account. After that, they need my Credit Card for further registration in order to get the 25$. (just like how i apply for itunes, they need my credit card number too)

and wah laaa. the 25$ is mine.

Waa I don't know you need to give credit card information to get the 25$ credit. I think this is a really smart move by Google to educate users to actually use money for maximum usage of Google Play. You can opt to not give credit card information and if you do, you get a reward
Rather than what Apple did, sure Apple has educates their user well, but kinda forcing it though.
Correct me if I'm mistaken. I registered my email with iTunes 2 years ago at that time iTunes didn't require any credit card information for registration. But my friend said now it is a compulsory.

Weeeee the community is growinggg. Expecting this thread to be flooded with happy users any time soon
I can only only be jealous for now. Waiting for Google to bring it in Malaysia and then I can use the 'reporting in' line

That's the reason you got it. I already canceled my Oz credit card when I came back to Singapore, so even when I logged onto the Oz Play Store to order the Nexus 7, they declined me cos my card wasn't assiciated with an Oz/NZ bank. So I got my sister who lives and works there to buy it with her credit card and link it to a fresh gmail account I createdl, but it was still declined since my details (I think mainly gender) didn't match and they suspended my that accounts gmail wallet till I could provide scanned copies of identification that associated me with my sister's credit card.

So in the end I just told my sister to order it from her gmail. That's probably why I didn't get the credit when I logged onto the Nexus 7 for the first time, since I used my old google account/wallet which just has a couple of Singapore based credit and debit cards.

Anyways, it was to be expected and I'm not too bummed about it. My sister can get the purchase fee reimbursed at the end of the year through some sort of "professional development allowance" her employers give her for buying computers and tech products, so the tablet is practically free.


I'm not sure cos I myself registered on iTunes a few years ago. In my time, I registered with a US address (my cousin's house and home phone) and just bought US iTunes gift cards to purchase stuff. Apple never asked for my credit card details and I can still buy from the US iTunes/App store till today, provided I have an iDevice logged into my old account and gift cards.

haha, thought of this on the first day i made pre order.

i went to check the dimensions of all samsung 7inch tabs.

turned out that the first tab7.
tab2 7inch
tab 7+
and tab7.7

all also different dimention, the width, thickness, and length all different,
unique for each model, although the screen size is the same, but the physical size of the tablet body is different

nexus7 dont match with any of them at all.

i think they purposely do this, so that they can sell more cases.

but..... nobody makes cases for the nexus7...

lucky the back is really nice, there's no need to rush for a case.. haha

Seriously, USPS service sux! I've been waiting since 23rd already and still no call! Anyone knows whom I can yell at about this? Who is doing this "clearance"?

maybe they hold u item.. if they hold u need to wait letter from poslaju lol

mine not yet arrive.....the wait is killing me....

by the way i read that nexus 7 does support usb pendrives.
just root it, and install stick mount.

problem solved. yeah!

Made a query to Asus Malaysia facebook. Here's their reply:

Not sure if screen protectors are universal across all 7" tablets. From what you see on phones and other slates, screen protectors are made to cover the entire front, which means they have to take the size of the bezel and edges into account. I'm pretty sure not all 7" tablets have same sized bezels.

Not 100% sure though. I've never used screen protectors for any handheld device (except my old Nintendo DS) before.

Also, I tried lightly streaking a key along the glass on the Nexus 7. So far, not a scratch. I'm not saying it's made like a G-Shock, but there does seem to be some degree on scratch resistance on the glass coating, so you should be fine of you throw it in a bag with keys or coins. I think the metal edge along along the sides will probably get scratched or chipped long before the screen does.
