When you get your device, try out the stock rom for a week first. Get use to the stock speed n battery life. Then only try custom rom

If not you won't have a baseline how custom rom perform. Nothing to compare.

Want to ask is the 16GB Version of Nexus 7 will not perform well or will be buggy when the storage spaces are not much(lesser than 3GB)?

Or, it's fixed by Custom ROMs already?

RM 999 is a pain. Why they sell so expensive...? T.T!
*
the less than 3GB thing does not affect my unit.
uncle benny also say no affect.

i am running paranoid android, uncle benny use CodeNameAndroid rom.
these 2 roms no prob.

i request some users running stock to test, but no reply from anyone yet.
its not hard, find the biggest file, copy paste it to many other folders to fill the storage space till <3GB.
then try running and see got slowdown or not.


about the price... rclxub.gif
i highlight this in the FAQ session.
frankly many people ask the same ques and the same ans were give,
so i quoted all the answer in the FAQ, go read yourself.

mine is C60,

i always listen music loud volume, since it has great battery life i never worry.
i remember that day i just flash to CNA rom, when playing youtube got a loud tud, then no sound.
after i reboot normal back.

same case in post#8 of link below.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-ne...aker-blown.html

after that incident the speaker slowly got muffled sound and get more and more worst.

but speaker is very easy to replace. i think service center got spare parts.
i send for warranty got back in 3 days. smile.gif

the speaker prob is not out of the box issue.
better dun always listen at max volume just to be safe tongue.gif

if u read few pages back, im refering to actually using the $25. claiming it is a piece of cake. most users after claimed the $25 actually cant use the money to buy anything
*
http://www.yogaretnam.com/gadgets/25-credi...s-7-greyed-out/

basically ask you to use browser to access play store and buy.
instead of using the play store app.

you can try this fix, let me know if it works.
i will add to first page if it does works.

Mine is C60.
i read the link your posted.
it asked to remove 2 screws. which i did.
after giving a gentle press at the left side. screen went right back in.
need to observe few days see how.

even if i dont remove the screws. a gentle press will force the screen back in,
but it will bulge out to the usual lifted position automatically after few days.

but then again, this screen lift issue is not that important.
new users please check working mic/speaker, and dead pixel.
screen lift does not affect the usage in any way.

I guess everyone missed out the most important step in claiming $25 Google Play Credit.

The most important step would be setting up your Google Wallet account with the country as United States. If your home country is set as Malaysia, you will need to change it before you claim the credit. After you have claim that, you will not be able to change the home country anymore. Your Google Play Credit will be locked to your home country's Play store only.

user posted image

For those that are having RBC error, you should have your home country set other than US, UK or any other countries that have Play store available.

If you missed this step, you will still get your $25 credit. But, you will not be able to use it at all.

I would recommend everyone to go to Google Wallet (http://www.google.com/wallet/) first to check if you have your home country set correctly before powering on your Nexus to activate.

thanks for the tips, added to the instructions at first page.

Do I need to master reset again to claim for the $25 credit? Please direct me a method without master reset. Thanks.


Added on September 24, 2012, 9:48 amBtw, my Nexus 7 screen has screen flickering issue, anyone have the same problem?

I've found out from Mr google that weak wifi signal might cause screen flickering on nexus 7. What should I do?
*
the screen flicker happens when wifi signal is low, and screen brightness low.
tune up the brightness and its ok.

not really an issue for me, my wifi signal is strong. :-)
how bad is your flicker? i have to go out of my house in the night only i notice the flicker,
very mild flicker every second, barely noticeable.

Stock jelly bean is not good enuf?

i'm satisfied with stock speed and smoothness.
i dont mind the phone UI too.

but i cannot accept the youtube app.
if you use previous android tablet youtube app, you will notice the difference.
on stock nexus 7, the youtube app is phone UI,
i dont get it since the other apps like gmail,maps,play store are in tablet UI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CLFZDaqxlU
@2:00, can see the difference between tablet UI and phone UI for youtube app.

tablet UI only display subscription uploaded videos, which is good.
phone UI display subscriptions activities like what video they like, commented, which is spam in my opinion.
i subscribe a channel to see their videos, i dont want to know their activity.

tablet UI allows video playback and comment at the same time.
you can also scroll comments while watching the video.
even desktop youtube page cant do this, on PC, when you scroll down to see comments, the video will scroll up and out of the screen.

here's what i mean
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



the early builts are not very smooth,
but since 2.12 its very smooth by my standards, buttery enough.
not sure how how the smoothness compared to stock since i cant compare side by side.

battery life is good, kernel is not overclocked.
