Anyone using the 3G n7 from US? Can it support the local network bands?

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

Battery on the N7 is pretty weak.. 4 hours of surfing with the 3g on drained around 50% of my battery. Standby with screen and 3g off another 10% in 8 hours. NOw still trickling away

4 hours of surfing on 3G, basically is more power consuming than you using 4Hours on wifi. It's consider not bad that the battery only drop 50% off the full charge bro smile.gif
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

Yeap I'm aware of that.. Was just comparing the battery life of both devices.

I got no complaints about the N7:) Just taking my beginner steps into the android world. Pretty large jump from one OS into the other

Yeah.. with the Nokia/Symbians it was so easy to check.. can call/take pics and good to go. The other functions are pretty negligible

The N7 is a lot nicer to use and a lot cooler too

I'm grateful enough my N7 had none of the defects that was listed in the first post so its down to monitoring the battery usage

The constant 3G is the battery drain culprit. Once switched to airplane mode and wifi the power consumption reduced by quite a significant amount
