What sticker are you referring to? If you're talking about the permit, as he said, you can bring in 3 of a device. Not sure if can interchange the device ( eg 1 Nexus 7 and 2x Nexus 4 ).

No it will not wipe your data when unlocking bootloader. Just go ahead

My bad. Unlocking bootloader apparently leaves the system partition intact, but wipes user data, including SD card data.

Other than copy pasting data out and to sync your contacts/details/etc online, there's no other way to backup.
Nandroid requires cwm which requires unlocked bootloader.
Titatinium backup requires root.

Got my unit from Newegg a few weeks ago. the 32gb one. Loving this device cos it's so smooth and games don't crash or lag (or have not, touch wood) unlike my mom's iPad. The size is just right for most things ie. gaming with both hands, videos, music & surfing. So lightweight too!

My only grievances are:
- screen resolution not as sharp as I would expect of a 7" these days.
- setting up wallpapers is a pain (have to use an app to crop the wallpapers first).

I had to buy a cover cos it got scratched when I put it in my bag.  cry.gif Bought this standard one, which has the magnetic smart cover feature so that's pretty good. http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Viridian-Green-...=item43b55a19de.
And to someone who earlier mentioned bout this device not having physical buttons - YES, I AGREE. Quite a bit of a pain. Matter of getting used to, I guess.

Can i install back stock recovery? Right now im using twrp.

Technically there's no stock recovery. The 2 popular recoveries is TWRP and CWM. So you mean stock ROM or CWM?

hi guys,i'm new here and i'm having a big problem with my nexus 7...
i bought my nexus 7 from "senheng" roughly more than a month ago..i was pretty satisfied with it until recently all the bugs and defects are starting to annoy me A LOT...
1) sometimes the touch screen is not responsive.i try pulling down the notification tray but it doesnt get pull down..
2) they are black lines on the screen sometimes when playing games or surfing facebook..it does happened quite often although it only appears for a split second.
3) this is the worst defect of all.sometimes the tablet acts on it's own,it's like it's having a mind of it's own.it would just jump back to the homescreen, swipe around and open up apps on it's own when i'm actually using the tablet.Basically it's like a ghost is using the tablet. So i try to find the cause of this problem and i'hv found than whenever i try to swipe around really quick the tablet will become not responsive for a while and it'll start acting on it's own, so i feel that there's a problem with the touch screen panel.

I went back to "senheng" the other day, hoping that they would replace a new tablet for me but they refuse to, so most probably i'm going to ring up ASUS tomorrow to report about my problems and hope that they would replace a new unit. My main problem is the 3rd, i can live with the other two but the 3rd one is seriously bugging me.

Is anyone having the same problem as me? If so, what did u do to solve it?

p/s : i'm on stock 4.2 rooted...

I had similar issues when there's moisture on screen. Finger that are slightly wet will also do that. But I'll assume even dry you're having same problem. Did you apply any cleaning agent on screen, new screen protector, used different charger?

how can wet finger cause the touch screen to act on it's own? i feel it's a problem with the touch screen panel…
i dont use any cleaning agent…and i didnt change my screen protector also…yup i tried charging with my samsung charger…no luck…
No idea man. If my hand is wet and swipe once, the whole thing goes crazy as if there's a invisible finger masturbating the N7.

My 3G just arrived direct from US. Quite some wait time due to long online orders and black friday shipping.

yes, i select whole device to detect....n i also using original TB (bought it using the fre USD25).

i tried to uninstall 2 to 3 times, n reinstall, no difference @@

so wat shud i do now T.T

to add on, i tried to backup a few new apps, n i cant c the TB folder inside my N7, but after i restart, i can c the folder, but i cant c the files inside, but the "restore apps+ data" got show the file to restore @@

Funny thing about MTP sometimes it shows up folders that are normally not shown. Theres this instance I had a "SD_external" folder appearing. Normally it isnt there. Since it's empty, I thought it was some spam folder created by an app, so I deleted it. Next thing I knew EVERYTHING on the user partition was deleted.
Might be a long shot but you could you try this method.
- Open your N7 on PC, check spelling of TB folder. Should be "TitaniumBackup" no spaces. Backup to PC then delete folder. If there are other titanium folders delete them too
- At N7, use a file explorer ( ES Explorer ). Check your folders if there's any existing TB folders. Delete
- On PC. Create another "TitaniumBackup" folder. Put your backup and try again.

Other than mispelled TB folder, maybe your backups is corrupted. *touch wood*

Noticed that there are 4 codec packs downloadable for MX Player; i.e. AMRv6, ARMv6 VFP, ARMv7 and ARMv7 NEON. Which pack is for Nexus7?

I didnt really explore the option, but what I noticed is that while playing video in moboplayer, I paused and press home to exit to homescreen, the video with options to continue playing is shown.

Cool. Perhaps I'll try that too. I have been using moboplayer for years as it plays just about anything I throw at it. Alternatives can't harm

Try leaving it for charge for couple hours then hold power for 10secs. If no reaction try power + volume down, for another 10secs. If no reaction gg

It happens. Especially when Nexus 7 didnt get a correct read on your battery stats. To improve its accuracy, charge full everytime then let it go down to 20% or so. It'll improve after a couple runs. This usually happens to new n7 that haven't been charge overnight

note: There's nothing wrong with the battery or your Nexus. It happens to most Lithium Ion based devices, even my Android phone sometimes misbehave that way

I have finally conceded that Tegra3 is overrated. I thought it really made a lot of difference in gaming, but in reality not much. Disappointed but finally faced facts

It's not that I haven't tried THD games, then I compared it to iPad's version. It's great, as good even. But not better.. And games like NFSW runs great but nothing really exciting. I mean it's a good system, I'm not saying it's bad per say. It's just nothing better and Tegra3 seems to be some nvidia endorsed hyped.

Ah okies.. Still pretty new to android so I got the tendency to compare the battery life to Symbian. Those Nokia phones really can last.

Pretty paranoid since this is my first android and with all the complaints on other forums on the N7's battery

Dont worry. N7 is an awesome tablet.
