I bought my magnetic case ( with close/open n wakeup sleep function) from EBay for US$17. Very good quality and is still in tip top condition
First unit I received there were some slight issues with the magnetic function and I got a new replacement free thereafter

Ordered the same case at US$10.97, still waiting for the arrival, hope no problem with the wake/sleep function.

Just ask for a free replacement if defective. Mine was perfect on the second unit till now ( 8 months already using it)

Did they request you to return the defective unit?

No. I gave it away to the buyer who bought my first nexus7 but I did highlight to him the problem

Custom rom based on aokp allows you more customization on status n navigation bar.
The latter eg you can increase no of buttons, change color, change size of bar n assign additional functions by hard press button.
Those AOSP roms you can't see much difference visually as improvements are built in

Hi benny,

Just curious. When getting stuff from Ebay or any other US sites, will Malaysia customs charge us? if so what are the procedures?
Tempted to get stuff oversea but not familiar with these shipping / tax charges, if they are applicable.

Btw, the case u recommended there looks nice, just wondering is there some sort of magnet to hold the cover when it is fully closed? or would it move around, since there isn't any clamps to lock it in place.
*
Never got tax from eBay as most I buy is maximum 2 units
Shipping charges will be shown when you confirm to buy
The case has no magnet to close it

just got my USB OTG cable, works fine for even my WD500GB HDD!!! But not working with my USB hub. Anyone can confirm which USB hub works?

Is probably your usb hub problem. These does not need much power. There are so many cheapskate type of usb hubs around

Feel warm when in standby mode. But too hot play game. Will send it asap.
Will send it but i will need to back up all of my apps n data. How?
*
If rooted use titanium backup
Non rooted use mybackuppro or androidzip but backup only app not its data
Copy all your visible stuff in tablet to PC
Or use nexus7 toolkit connect to PC n backup whole tablet

can you show me a guide how to root this nexus? how do I backup all my games n apps?
*
Easiest use Nexus 7 toolkit ; is a menu driven program - just click n select only

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

Rooting will not affect/delete any of your stuffs. Is a very safe process
Since your tablet not rooted, copy all your visible stuffs in internal memory to PC
Use androidzip app to backup all your 3rd party apps apk only - apps supporting data cannot be backup
Or you can use the N7 toolkit to backup first

i kena this many times already..normal. to temporary fix it so that it wont suddenly off, charge it a fair amount (say 50%), then off tablet, leave it there for few hours (say 3-5 hours) then charge it fully while it is turned off. The tablet doesnt show the correct % even when it is turned off..there's a bug in the battery apparently..
*
Such behaviour is not normal
If I were you, I would go claim warranty for replacement battery

Just pick up mine from the SC, it change my LCD and mother board to new one. But for the temp on processor it still the same 45-50 C
Picture included. It is okay?
*
How long and what were you doing to get such a high temperature ?
Even on intensive continuous usage up to 3 hours, I hardly reach even 45 degree C. Average operating temperatures 35-40 degree C most of the time

my temp aren't  on aircond. When i apply direct to aircond the temp goes below to 35C.
i didnt do anything  at just, i received the tab and installed  system tuner to check the temp. Then walla! 50C. I need to call the SC back to check whether they really change the board or not
*
If it is like that, you should only be seeing 25 to 28 degree C the most

what are the requirements to complain warranty?
*
They even accept warranty claims for rooted n cwm installed recovery. My motherboard offer replace FOC as it keep booting to CWM recovery mode. Tablet fastboot mode not working n I cannot flash anything
The tech replace a brand new unit for me when he screwed up changing motherboard.
But warranty normally void if signs of external damages

1) download whatsapp apk from internet (or chrome if u download directly from nexus 7). there are lots of site that share the apk which I cant share here, but google can.

2) copy the apk into nexus 7 internal memory (if you download from other device)

3) make sure you already allow the nexus 7 to install 3rd party app in the setting

4) install the apk from any file manager you installed in your nexus 7

5) the rest of the setup are exactly the same as setup whatsapp in your phone.
btw this might applies to nexus 7c (3g) version only. perhaps the other method is for using whatsapp on wifi only nexus 7.

Wifi model needs the extra steps as listed at xda

Check your APN settings. Is it auto set or you need to do it manually
APN for celcom is celcom3g

Guys, whats the cheapest price for nexus 7 available on market? 899? (as seen in lowyat wts)

how much for the glass if cracked? because some tablet glass and sensor is separated, like ipad.. if the glass and sensor comes together then it will cost a bomb to replace if crack.

About rm400+
