QUOTE(tzershi @ Jan 1 2013, 10:53 PM) Screen Lift / Separation Headphone Socket Not Working Wi-Fi Dropping Battery / Power Drain Defective OEM Charger Battery Will Not Charge Dead Pixels Light Bleed USB Connector Broken Out Of The Box Touchscreen Non Functioning Crackling Speaker Screen Tearing Amongst all these issues listed, the one i've seen here are screen lift, power drain, crackling speaker. That's it. Probably i missed out on the earlier Nexus 7 thread and there are those who faced with those problems. But it just prove to show new users doesn't face with those issues.

QUOTE(tzershi @ Jan 1 2013, 11:59 PM) Just compare with Sony Xperia Tablet S. Don't know getting which one.  Just realised this Sony tablet specs quite solid. improved design looks nicer aswell. I would say if you prefer a bigger screen should go for that one, on the pretext that price is not an issue.

QUOTE(hwa107 @ Jan 2 2013, 12:30 AM) Sorry, may I know RRP stand for? Recommended retail price. Buy from sellers in garage sales or Senq. They are reliable. Added on January 2, 2013, 12:35 amQUOTE(tzershi @ Jan 2 2013, 12:31 AM) Confused with the previous model. But this new one is alot better than the first one. Specs wise and design. Made up your mind? The sony tablet is a more complete tablet. But Nexus 7, if you can live with the shortcomings, should serve you just fine. This post has been edited by chaukeng: Jan 2 2013, 12:35 AM

QUOTE(ahchun @ Jan 3 2013, 04:21 PM) newly registered user and only with 2 feedback. hope he is real QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Jan 3 2013, 04:32 PM) 20% deposit is too much. Rm200? Rm50 also need to think twice. There was another of his selling thread going on for some times ady. And the two person who gave the feedback are actually users from this thread. So at least there are still an amount of credibility in it.

QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Jan 3 2013, 04:43 PM) Then it's fine. But 20% he's asking is really too much as deposit. Even if the buyer didn't show up, will he really lose that much? Rm50 is fine though  Maybe RM200 is the margin of profit or he suffered loss before due to customer cancel purchase we wouldn't know.

QUOTE(cocooh @ Jan 5 2013, 09:44 AM)  ahh nvm, few laggs wont kill me I use tablet mostly to sruf net and midcore gaming Thx  Sometimes it could be down to few games itself not reaching maturity. Eg. Subway Surfers. One major update after that no more lag. Browsing is superb. p/s: Anyone facing issues with scrolling using google chrome? I have to scroll alot of times to reach to the top page.

QUOTE(Jemi @ Jan 6 2013, 12:01 PM) If not doing the comparing with others still OK. I'm doing photography things so the color quite important. anyway anyone here using with magnet? Most of us here are using a magnetic cover. The magnetic sensor is located on the bottom left around NFC chips there. Btw, Nexus 7 screen colour should and could have been better. Read a review of Nexus 7 and apparently the problem with the screen is a software issues. Hence a software update with better calibration would have improve the screen colour of Nexus 7.

QUOTE(Jemi @ Jan 6 2013, 12:10 PM) OK good news for the color issues. Now at lowyat plaza, at this moment can't find cover with magnet. Im not sure whether what i've read is accurate. Or Asus will ever provide us with the update if it is true. Its hard to find a cover for Nexus 7 in m'sia. Even if you manage to find one, the price will be substantially marked up. if you can wait, then i suggest you to buy from ebay or amazon. If not, try to search at garage sales. A couple of reputable members here like 'shirogawa' and 'tskhor' are selling those cover with magnet. This post has been edited by chaukeng: Jan 6 2013, 12:18 PM

QUOTE(domokun @ Jan 6 2013, 12:27 PM) I live in SG...I'd believe I've search every corner known. Result - Failed. Only Original Asus Nexus 7 casing but left with PINK or TURQUOISE. So I had to order from Amazon for my SPECK case.  How much is the original cover being sold there? And which shopping complex did you went to? I only checked at the shopping near Sentosa there and can't find any. Im using the original cover btw. To activate the sleep and wake function, I cut off my Gnex flip cover, took off the magnet and paste it on the cover.

Tbf the original cover is the few covers that protect the Nexus 7 in every area possible. But the light grey one is abit prone to dirt. Saw the red one in Ebay but cannot get it here.
