Sorry for a newbie question, heard many talking about Newegg, but actually how to purchase from Newegg? Is Nexus 7 available on Newegg already?

I saw this
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Prod...N82E16834230573

Is this the one that I can purchase? Normally the price is direct convert from USD to MYR + shipping?

What is the difference between Newegg Business and Newegg?

Thanks...

I suggest you dont buy the 16gb 1 cause few days back both 32 gb and 16 gb were both listed at same price.

For more info how to calculate, you should go to newegg malaysia facebook, IINM USD price X 3.1 + delivery/handling fee. See posts previous pages back, someone did mention it and bought it for around RM8++ ish

Just gotten my N7 from newegg. I then proceed to install 4.2.1 OTA. I did notice there was a slight delay in switch between landscape and portrait. Unsure if this happens after the OTA or after I installed Swiftkey.

Got N7 up running. Copy some files mp3 + movies, all seems ok. Copy seems slow for 3gb mkv file, anyway testing testing.

One thing though, the lock screen displays 89% charging, it seems stuck there. Is this normal ?

Maybe I just leave it charge overnight.
*
Try discharging it fully by running some video of while you're not using it. Then charge it with n7 turned off until it's full. This may seem unnecessary, but when my n7 had its first charge, it stopped at 97% and wouldn't charge further. I so I drained it all down and the 2nd charge brought it to 100.

I'm using the white one... not too bad but I don't like it. Waiting for new case to arrive from eBay. Looks almost like Anymode.

Dont like it because the quality is bad or you preferred different type of cover/casing?



Maybe I should do this DIY stand DIY stand

Guys, what do you think of this casing Ebay? Thinking of getting it. It holds the N7 like a case instead of adhesie, features a stand and doesn't seem to bulky. It also has a hand strap

I've been using both dice and MX player for watching movies. WHile I was trying out Dice player on a 720p movie, with the default settings, the sound became 'robotic'. I notice that happen for a several split seconds while I was playing Mass Effect too.

However playing the same video on MX player with h/w + codec, seems fine. I hope its not the speaker's problem.

h/w + codec uses the Tegra chip to do the coding & decoding, so it is definitely more powerful compared to original settings (I assume it would be software decoding)

Haha I see, thanks for the explanation.


The moment I've been dreading for, My N7 has no issues of screen lifting and other issues that were reported BUT I discovered theres a circle line on the display glass somewhere towards the bottom which is only visible when the screen is off and easily visible under the certain angle.

Doesn't look like a scratch, cant feel it with the skin on my fingers, but when I covered my finger with a microfibre cloth and using my finger nail to feel it, I could feel the 'line'. Haih, these 2 days I thought it was just fingerprints smear, but it isn't, its a perfect circle.

Thinking if I should request for exchange by newegg or going to Asus. Tried to take picture, but couldn't due to the screen being reflective. Should I ask newegg?

Hmm, found out from xda, some users had similiar issue. Some perfect circle like mine, some has weird shapes. Well they did was to wipe it completely clean then apply screen protector over it thus not noticeable anymore.

what movie you are trying on?
for me i tried few HD movies on Dice recently doesn't encounter any issue, but having some sudden jitter on mx player.

Chill bro, That's a fact that N7 Tegra 3 would play hd movie better than most of the tablets out there when right decoder is there.

Would like to know, what's good in Galaxy note?


Added on December 7, 2012, 12:09 pm
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

Hi there Nexus Lovers,

I'm planning to move from iOS to Nexus, because of the cheaper price. Would it be a good idea?

I'll mostly use it for going online, checking my gmail, store and read my important documents/notes, creating new documents. I'm a university student btw.

The only downside i feel is that it's inability to be hooked up to an external display for presentation purposes and how is the play store when it comes to apps for medical professionals/students?

So help me out here and tell me what amazing stuff that the Nexus can do that the iOS cant (that is inline with my uni life).

QUOTE(Cynox @ Dec 8 2012, 11:10 AM)
Note 10.1 will be a better bet.  If you are not in a hurry, there is rumour Samsung is getting out a 7" Note series.  It will be a perfect match for a student, if you think 10" tablet is too big for you.

My sister who teaches in an international school for the art subject just get a Note 10.1 (as recommended by me tongue.gif).  She is find it matched her need quite closely.

Nexus 7 is really more for entertainment - media consumption and gaming.  Not so suitable for serious stuff like note taking and presentation.

I agree with Cynox, unless pricing is main factor then just go ahead and get the N7. You might need to find office suite apps that are suitable to your work & study uses. I ain't sure of any medical apps that could be beneficial yet practical for your uni but I do randomly come across some medical apps on the playstore. Maybe before you buy, you could go to google playstore on the web and see if there are apps that will be beneficial to you compared to iOS?

Nexus 7 is largely unknown in Malaysia for now. Went to a big accessories stall yesterday, seeing their large display of iPhone/iPad/Galaxy Tab cases, I decided to ask if they carried any Nexus 7 merchandise.

The response I got? 'Nexus 7? What is that? Dunno wor, sorry we don't sell anything for that.' doh.gif

HAha yeah you're right. I guess I'll just order from online sites or Garage Sales.

Dropped by Lowyat last night, walked in to that Hotspot shop selling Nexus devices and some other stuff. Realised they have a dedicated shelf for N7, I was like YES finally dedicated shelf for N7 accessories.

But man, the price was crazy. The blurex cover was like Rm129, some hardcover diary-book-look alike RM199 ! Crazy Garage sales only RM80+ but no stock sad.gif
