Guys, Newegg replied me and mentioned that they only have Brown color for Nexus 7 and not black.
I thought N7 only has black and white? Is the Brown = Black or there is brown color exists?

QUOTE(AmmoShaf @ Feb 8 2013, 02:07 PM) guys, is it worth to spend more to get the 3G version instead of the wifi only version? roughly, how much the difference in price? going to penang for CNY, plan to grab 1 there. RM821 for 32GB WIFI from Neweggg, RM1099 for 32GB 3G version from Penang senQ. RM278 difference. But I think now you can get cheaper 3G version from LYP.

QUOTE(AmmoShaf @ Feb 8 2013, 10:11 PM) Thanks for your feedback bro,if I gonna get Nexus 7, for sure I'll take the 3g version. I'm reading some review on the net about Nexus 7, and only now that I know Nexus 7 doesn't have rear camera. Because of this I need to reconsider my option as I think rear camera is important. My other choices will be tab 2 and ipad mini. For now, Nexus 7 is still my priority, with jellybean,perfect size,nice price, and its NEXUS! I'll be busy customize the device like old days. So, what do u feels about no rear camera Nexus 7? Do u even take picture using it? Depend on how you use it really, the front camera is already enough for me for video call. I'll always use my Galaxy S2 to take photo, using a tablet to take photo looks really awkward and stupid to me.

QUOTE(dinraxxx @ Feb 9 2013, 01:59 PM) I purchased my Nexus 7 32GB within these 2 days, and I got an unresponsive screen.Can anyone help? I wanna know if Asus is willing to replace with a new one since I'm going to fly to Aussie on Wednesday. Unresponsive? You mean not sensitive or totally not responding to touches at all? Yes send to ASUS but it will take a while, ASUS got international warranty, you may try to send it in Aussie.

QUOTE(D-Frog @ Feb 13 2013, 12:27 AM) Good evening user Here's a few question which came to me upon considering .. As for the Wifi set , would I be able to use my iPhone as hotspot and the tablet detect it , so that I can uses my data plan ? Second that , what's the usable storage space for 16gb  ? And the core question which bug me for as long as my consideration is , any news on replacement tablet for n7 as this isn't new anymore  Tqvm Yes you can use your iPhone as hotspot and connect your Nexus 7 to it. Around 13.xxGB if not mistaken, recommend to get the 32GB. No news for the new N7 for now but only rumors, you can expect after July when the new N7 reaches here.

QUOTE(talzer @ Feb 16 2013, 01:24 AM) need to clarify, does gps only available for 3g version and not the wifi only version? Both model have GPS QUOTE(fireballs @ Feb 16 2013, 01:34 AM) my unit cannot charge when its on. must switch off to charge already using official charger and cable  i think its a software issue as pc can still recognise it when in bootloader mode. You mean it can't charge even with AC? It might be kernel issue.

QUOTE(talzer @ Feb 18 2013, 09:44 PM) hey does rooting n7 requires 'unlock'? unlocking boatloader will void the warranty? is there anyway to root without unlocking boatloader and void the warranty? Unlocking and rooting will void the warranty immediately. You have to lock it and unroot again if you want to claim your warranty back.

QUOTE(yupio @ Mar 13 2013, 10:30 AM) I see...well I think it's best to go to ASUS service centre for the job. Doing it elsewhere might void the warranty (if it's still under). And also, there's no telling how competent/professional the 3rd party repairer u sent it to.  Yes and since ASUS has international warranty basically you can just send it to any ASUS.

QUOTE(kopykopy @ Mar 15 2013, 01:15 PM) Thank you for your sound opinion. The lack of back cam in N7 doesnt bother me much cause i dont take pictures much. However, with better specs + Key Lime Pie, I think I will wait for nexus 7.7 (albeit as someone else in forum said the N7.7 will be more expensive compared to N7). just gotta fight the urge!!! By the way anyone know the price of N7 32 GB Wifi only? where to buy is best? a friend suggested ALLIT in Lowyat. Thanks Nexus 7 32GB WIFI RM821 from Newegg Malaysia.

QUOTE(AmmoShaf @ Mar 18 2013, 01:25 PM) Tried franco and motley kernel before, got some minor problem. Then decide to go with m-kernel, so far so good, the best i had tried. you could tell by the feedback and how fast that thread is growing in xda. today new build is out, downloading. I'm also using M-Kernel, performance is not bad, but battery is just like Stock kernel, I wonder how people in XDA achieve over 7 hours of On Screen time.
