OIC..meaning my Note 2 is more natural ehh? Always thought Nexus 7's white more so-called " whiter"
*
Amoled always oversaturated. No way it's natural laugh.gif

Just look at the gamma curve for AMOLED, it's about 140% that of RGB standard. Most LCD just covers around 80% while iphone 5 goes near to 100%

How do we do that? They ship to MY from US? How about warranty?
*
Official Newegg Malaysia, which is not selling products directly, is doing the forwarding service. They take in huge quantity depends on demand and ship them from US at once. Besides that, Newegg Malaysia is exempted from any VAT. So it's much cheaper than importing yourselves.

Asus nexus 7 has international warranty. Doesn't matter where you buy from.

32GB for 820.9

Hi, just waiting Newgegg Malaysia send my Nexus7 32gb to my door step. Like to ask a newbie question, do my US set need to unlock?
*
What you mean unlock? Define unlock?

Normally we say a locked set is locked to a particular carrier, only that carrier sim card can be used. But the 32GB N7 you get from Newegg is just 32GB WiFi only. There's no sim tray on this unit thus no 3G connection. So it can be locked or unlocked since it doesn't matter tongue.gif

Or... You can mean a locked bootloader. In this case, all Nexus 7 has a locked bootloader from factory. You need to unlock bootloader only you can flash custom recovery, root, custom rom etc.

If..just saying, reports about 4.2.2 should have reported from most geek site!  hmm.gif

[attachmentid=3257308]

Is there a way to hide the bottom notification bar?  hmm.gif
*
That one is navbar.

You can hide it easily with custom rom. If you don't want custom rom, you need to edit build.prop. Of course root is needed for this. Google for more info tongue.gif

I got a question here.. I already rooted my device.. My device currently version 4.2.1 and when 4.2.2 is out, can i straight update to 4.2.2 from setting? and do i need to root again?
*
If you only unlock and root, yes you can straight update. But might lose root.

QUOTE(trisx @ Jan 12 2013, 01:38 AM)
Rooting only done once dude. no need to re-root unless u unrooted it 1st

Simply said, No
*
There's possibility of losing root though.

OTA won't lock your bootloader. It will just unroot. Want to know? Just root it again. You'll fail if your bootloader is locked tongue.gif

dont worry about nexus 7 not getting future updates. even nexus s (2nd gen nexus) still getting updates from google

Support for Nexus S stopped. But the community is still porting it.

It stopped at 4.1.2. No more 4.2.

So everyone is still Nokia supporter??? Their phone is really damn robust.

Too bad they didn't choose to develop for all OS. Only Windows Phone.

If they do like HTC, got windows got Android since the beginning of Android, Samsung won't be at where they are now. Too bad cry.gif

Guys,we have new nexus 7 competitor,ainol novo 7 Venus,much better specs with $50 cheaper
*
http://www.ainol-novo.com/ainol-novo-7-ven...etooth-gps.html
doh.gif This is completely a Nexus 7 clone in appearance.

That chipset... Looks good on spec

But... It will be no match for Nexus 7 even if $50 dolar cheaper.

$50 is definitly worth since Nexus 7 is supported by Google.
The chipset used in Nexus 7, even though seems similar to that in Ainol, that GPU unit will be a huge problem for compatibility since almost no other well known chipset is using that GPU. On the other hand, Tegra 3 is used in so many devices that most of the apps will support tegra 3 instead.

Ainol tablets also normally very hot... I don't think they'll handle this issue better than Nexus 7.

Lastly, looking at the massive support by developer community, Ainol lose out completely laugh.gif

However, I guess that Ainol should have a better IPS panel than the one in Nexus 7 laugh.gif Since the one in Nexus 7 is too easy to be beaten

But even its clone,ainol quite reliable,a lot of my friends uses ainol,no problem encounter so far,screen quality even better than my nexus 7 doh.gif ,and overall specs,Venus still better,but I prefer nexus 7 because always up to date
*
Ya... Screen quality should be only aspect it's superior to Nexus 7. Other than that, Nexus 7 should win.
Ignore that 2MP black camera laugh.gif

I know ainol is quite reliable. But heat is also an issue, even in their single core model which my friend is using. Just use for a while without wifi it'll get hot. Use with wifi, extremely hot. doh.gif

I did saw someone posted before, it cost RM 100 and above
*
I think someone repaired it. I remember is cheaper than Galaxy Nexus one because I'm using one.

300~400 range.

Anyway, the LCD in Nexus 7 is not a very high end display. Even phone display, especially Super AMOLED Display are a lot more expensive.

might need an overclock to 9001jiggahurtz.
