I am trying out sygic. then waze then google map. too bad google map got limit of 80mb.

also, I got poetic case. but it kind of loose. No screen protector. Do I really need SP? oily smudge is quite unsightly. Should I get one that is matte?
*
there's one seller in garage sales selling diamond one. Personally regretted after putting on the matte sp.

Matte SP will kill the clarity of the screen. N7 screen is already pale & not so vibrant in color. Use a clear SP instead. Just my 2 sen..

Yes and the text won't look as sharp before. Nevermind i have one clear type for spare.

Still fail to find a really nice cover for my nexus though...

Guys, have been really unlucky here..my first model had the low power failure problem, where it dies at 20%. So I exchanged it with a new unit at newegg, which I'm grateful for. Turns out the new unit now has screen flickering problem  cry.gif

If you ever felt discomfort looking at the screen and think of the problem even if you didn't 'see' it, i would say just go and change since its still early.

Just got my nexus 7 3G..feels like the screen is washed out..icons are not even sharp..worse than my s2..

is this normal??

Colour washed out is normal with Nexus 7. But the text sharpness should be about the same with S2. Any screen protector on your N7?

More and more users reporting in. Mainly are N7C users though...

Your variant. Nexus 7 32GB + Cellular

Anyone ever think off buying the original asus nexus 7 cover and paste a small rare earth magnet on the backside of the front cover to activate the sleep/wake function? Saw one person done it before and did it pretty well.

I have both a Nexus 7 16GB Wifi and an iPad mini 32GB Wifi.

Honestly, they are both good in different areas.

The higher price for the iPad mini can be justified by the availability of certain paid apps. I also prefer to ready books and browse the web on the iPad mini because of the bigger screen. I like iCloud auto-sync, A LOT. 3D is better on iPad mini (shockingly... I thought Tegra 3 was the bomb).

For everything else, such as Papago M9, I rely on Nexus 7.

Choose wisely folks!

One noob question. Are you playing subway surfers on your mini? tongue.gif

Thought of buying online? I bought from this seller in Lelong. Reasonable price and fast delivery.

Anyone here using the original cover by Asus? After serious searching still prefer this over the other cover in the market.

-looks durable.
-looks nice. I like the simplicity of the design.
-one of the few covers for Nexus 7 that actually covers the top and bottom. rclxub.gif

I was annoyed at the lack of sleep/wake function on the cover. After some google-ing, i managed to found one person DIY-ing his cover by using the magnetic strips. (I think it should be available in those DIY stores in Jusco)

Will try it out when my cover reaches me. This way i get a very secured cover with the smart cover function. biggrin.gif

Finally got my 7c!
Decided on 7c over iPad mini cos I feel reading is better on the nexus though color a bit off

Nillkin leather case sold by tskhor any good?

Didn't own one myself. But only heard good comment about this. The only downside for me is that the top and bottom is actually exposed.

What he said.

It's actually unhealthy to keep killing off apps. Here's an article to explain better

if it is True,theni shouldnt manually kill off the apps from the multitasking screen aswell?
