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.



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.

I dont think it's needed if you are getting it fresh from the store. But, please 1st check if your Google Wallet account has the home country set as US.

1. Go to http://www.google.com/wallet/
2. Sign in with your Google account (the one that you're gonna use it on your Nexus 7)
3. Click on the Setting button on the top right (right next to the Help button)
4. Click the Edit button at your home address and then change the country

You won't be able to if you have already activated your Nexus 7 and claimed the $25 credits.

I guess you won't be able to use the credit to purchase in the Play store now.

Because you haven't install Google Wallet on your Nexus 7 and activate it. This is Google Wallet on mobile device. It's a different 1.

If you have successfully purchased apps with the $25 credit then what's the problem now?

You should get the credit once you activated your Nexus 7 through VPN. You should have receive the credit already.

To check, go to http://www.google.com/wallet/ then Payment Method, see if you have Google play balance in the list.



If you don't have yet, then follow the steps on the 1st page. Reset it and sign in through VPN

If you dont have $25 Google play balance listed in your Payment method, then you can start following the guide to get the credit. (Please check this over the website on your computer/mobile device, not the Wallet app in your Nexus 7)

$25 will be credited to your account immediately once you have activated your Nexus 7 on a US VPN. You mentioned that you have activated once. But, I guess it wasn't through a US VPN.

I just found out that I'm now able to change home country in my Google Wallet. It wasn't allowed before that because of Google play balance in my account.

Could anyone with RBC error like the following try to change home country to US and try to purchase apps?

I just tried. No tax is charged.

I don't have the tax too. Did you set your Google Wallet location as somewhere in US that has sales tax?

It seems that only that from Electronic Arts Inc is compatible with Nexus 7.

I tried the other 1 it greyed out for Nexus 7.

I'm sure your Google Wallet account's home country is not. This is different with the address for your credit card

You can use the credit until end of September 2013.

Yes, it's very nice. I've been looking for a good performance 1 for long time. What it lacks it's the small preview of all the pages at the bottom.

How did you tell the service center? Did you just tell them you flashed?

You are worrying for something that you don't even have to..

I have successfuly sideload the update 4.1.2 to my stock and not rooted Nexus 7 following the steps here:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10/09/ho...ustom-recovery/

If you are on stock recovery, you may get in to stock recovery by
1. Turning off your device
2. Boot into fastboot menu by pressing Power + Vol Up + Vol Down together
3. Use Vol Up or Vol Down button to toggle from 'Start' to 'Recovery'. Then press Power button.
4. You will now see android with red exclamation mark. Now, press Power + Vol UP button at the same time and you will be in the recovery menu

I got an email from Google Wallet saying my account has suspicious activity and they have suspended my account.

I have tried to buy apps using my Google Play balance and it still works. So, do you guys that have your account that being hold up before receive the same email?
