Hello all nexusian here. I become a owner of nexus last few week ago, love it. I bought the Asus Malaysia version 16GB at RM929 at a computer retailer at my hometown. Still new to this device..........

I have a problem using my andriod phone Handfree (the type with mic attach), the sound is very slow and become very weide............
any recomanddation to use any headphone or earphone to acompany my nexus 7

is this kind of unknown brand power bank reliable? RM95 for 12000mAh @@

just use any normal headphones without mic. it should work flawlessly

They won't RMA outright if what you mean by "RMA" is "Return Merchandise Authorisation" i.e one to one replacement. If you send to Asus SC, they will try repairing it first, which would include replacement of parts, where necessary. AFAIK, if the problem persists after 3 times sending in for repairs, only then will they replace your tablet with a new unit for you.

HOWEVER, if you purchased it from an authorised retailer/reseller here in Malaysia and you discovered the problem within the first 7 days of purchase, Asus authorises an automatic one to one replacement for you. Bring your receipt and defective unit to Asus SC to double confirm this (within 7 days). If ok, they will tell you to go back to the retailer/reseller you bought from, and ask for one to one exchange (also within the 7-day period, I think). But check with the Asus SC on one very important thing: "If the shop refuse, how???". Ask them what is the procedure or who you or the shop should contact at the Asus SC (ask what number to call) if that happens.

One more thing, if you looking for one to one replacement, bring the box and everything else that came with it with you (documentation, charger, cable, etc).

Still within 7 days for you? Time to move your ass... LOL

I found 1 dead spot on my screen after 2 days of purchase.
I went back to the shop and they change me a new unit

I would say just go back to the shop and ask for 1 to 1 exchange

Yes, perhaps just head straight back to the shop first and ask. If they refuse, then you should go to the SC and find out what's happening. Bring the shop's and/or the shop's staff name and contact number with you to the SC in that situation. Just in case SC wants to call up that shop and speak to the person who attended to you or the shop's boss.

how to use ota update...it said my device rom developer is disable something like that...can someone teach me...already root my phone but not use any cwn on it..just root only

Bear in mind, christmas or holiday sales/price drop will only happen in US. It won't happen in Malaysia even if it does and drop to a very low price.

This is not about sales price drop *just* for the holiday season. It is not a "sales". We are talking about the actual RRP of the current model dropping because of a new model. For now, 16GB in US is selling for USD249 and over here, it is RM999. If the 16GB RRP becomes USD199 and the new 32GB sells for USD249, don't you think the RRP here in Malaysia would follow the switch in prices? The references to the holiday season in that article merely talks about people buying the N7 for Xmas and that one should wait because there are strong rumours about a new 32GB model which may go for the same price as the 16GB model now, and Google is highly likely to launch the 32GB within this month to take advantage of people shopping for Xmas.

At the very least, the 16GB price would drop here in Malaysia. It is one thing to sell at RM999 when the directly converted RRP is RM760, but it is quite another if the Malaysian price remains at RM999 when the directly converted RRP later becomes RM608. The following notion is possible: New 32GB will sell for RM999 here in Malaysia and the 16GB price would then drop to RM849 or RM799 or something.

Same. Stock rom but rooted. Received an update yesterday from system update but failed to update. Any workaround?
Rerun system update but cannot get update. Still 4.1.1

you got change system UI?
you fully on stock rom?
any slight change also will cause it to fail.

Not changes. except after root. Install busybox

Guys flashed 4.1.2 with 3.41 bootloader successful. Root device with tookit. Now cannot boot to recovery. It show an android with red exclaimation mark. Any idea to fix this problem?

install rom manager, flash cwm touch.
go cmw once using rom manager
when you enter cwm, it will ask something like want to disable stock recovery or not. say yes.

from this point on can always enter cwm without usb cable anymore.

Thx bro..... u da man.

--------------------------------

Now can go to recovery with rom manager. Cannot go to recovery in fastboot mode. Still the robot
& red exclaimation triangle is there.
-------------------------------------------------
Issue fix. Need to disable recovery flash in CWM.. Thx again.

DO you apply Screen Protector on nexus 7? Mine using matte sp, makes the whole screen very dull...
