How did you update to 4.2
The best method and with minimal issues is to use the Nexus7 toolkit and flash the official google image ( nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz ) After that follow it by flashing recovery and than boot to recovery flash chainfire latest supersu zip ( CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip ). Do do a backyp first of all your internal SD stuffs to PC as this will wipe clean your tablet
Than followup by using titanium backup to restore back all your stuffs and copy back all your internal Sd stuffs back to tablet

Other methods like flashing just the updated file (094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip ) or any of the developer direct CWM flash solutions - there are at least 3 of such at XDA . I have tested all these methods in half a day and would say nothing beats the direct flash method using the Nexus 7 toolkit

Why you guys so interested in the 3G unit ? I have given up buying 3G tablets as i find is a waste of money needing to spend on subscribing another data plan on a 3G plan
Nowadays i just use my Android phone as a wireless hotspot - need not spend another cent on another 3G plan

cuz i'm not interested in having to make my phone as hotspot(drain battery + hot), and having to find wifi to be connected whenever needed. well that is my environment which hard to find a fast, working wifi connection unless i'm at home(which is not so much use if outside that).

so if make phone as hotspot, both habis battery~ i am readily have two data plan, so its not a trouble.

Plus. I can choose not to use the 3G sim, but i have a choice when needed. biggrin.gif

just my point of view.

Use a Galaxy Note 2 and you need not worry about battery life ( which is easily 2-3 times that of other androids such as SGS2, SGS3, HOX, Note etc ) or high temperature unlike other android phones !!

Just got the charging work back. What I did is totally turning off the N7, then start to plug in the cable. And it did show out the charging status LOL! After that, I switch it on and the charging is resume back to normal. Quite weird.
Right now what i suspect is the latest 4.2 update is the cause of this issue ~.

Unlikely as I do not faced such issues
Didn't read of any user at xda facing such issues either

Those on 4.2 please check how is volume tone when playing videos. It was terribly soft n some videos I cannot even hear it. I tested with several other players such as mobo, vplayer, vitalplayer, mvideo all same. Thought it was kernel issue n flash both lean n MX kernel very slight better only
Audio playback was excellent
Flash back to ver 4.12 n it was OK

expecting another version of JB soon. My unit has a random reboot and it's pretty much a famous bug on xda. you guys don't have such issue?  hmm.gif

I have yet to face such issue since day one on my 16gb n 32gb units and in all the roms I am on
Do a factory reset n monitor
If it occur again send in to check motherboard issues
Another possibility n strong is apps that are malicious eg cracked pirated apps. Delete such apps if you have installed such

wow.. RM588 is tempting too.  Previously it was near to RM1k.  Now even 32gb no need RM1k.  Maybe can consider get one for my wife to watch HK/Korea/Taiwan TV series.  laugh.gif

You will be terribly disappointed watching videos as its audio quality sucks. Anytime tab 7.7 trounced it flat
It is a very responsive tablet good for browsing, email, rss , tweeter n gaming
Too bad it's speakers bad n poor compared to other tablets/phones

Upgraded stickmount v2.0 can now detect my USB drives successfully on ver 4.2 JB
TIP: After you installed it, go and clear cache and data at settings/apps/stickmount first

USB drives location : internal memory/usbstorage/sdb

You have every right to call them. Just be polite
When I send in my previous N7 to JB center to have motherboard change, I call them to enquire twice a week !!!

Just in case anyone is interested and can't wait for Newegg to stock the 3G version, B&H has posted the 3G Nexus 7 for sale! 299.99, same price. Shipping = 50USD, totals to about RM1070. Don't know about whatever SIRIM/custom/duty/tax/etc that might bring along though. If anyone could enlighten me on those tax stuff that'd be cool... cheers.gif

As a personal importer this is what you need

The courier company will inform you your package has arrived and you'll be given a copy of the notice

1. Go to nearest Sirim office , pay RM 100 for Sirim permit ( can bring up to 3 phones or tablets). Processing takes an hour usually. You need show them some docs or brochure specs of item you are applying for
2. Go back to courier and show them Sirim permit
3. If phones NO other duty/taxes. If Wifi, 3G Wifi tablets - there is a10% tax on item declared value+courier costs. Customs would want you top show the official invoice or email purchase order or any other docs to show purchased value. They will not follow seller declared value. If unable to show, custom will tax based on their evaluation on current market value of similar products
4. Pay the 10% tax and you can collect your tablet

So basically total cost : RM 1070+ RM100 + RM 107

OR you pay the courier company average RM50 service charge + all the sirim + tax costs

If you are lucky ( i was once only) DHL directly delivered to my house without any hold up - that was for a mobile phone bought from UK

Best is buy thro newegg as being a registered company/importer they have certain exemptions from such additional payments
