just received my case from taobao. love the size and was surprised to find out they have included a SP, a stylus pen, a pouch for cards and an OTG cable.

here are some of the photos of my tablet with the days

BTW, my nexus 7 went into a bootloop yesterday after i have restarted the device, had to flash the factory image. I found out that many people have this issue with the 1st and 2nd gen Nexus 7. i guess something is wrong with the current android version.

Tested n dump CM10.2 rom ; worse than  stock rom especially on touchscreen sensitivity. Cannot restore or even backup in titanium backup. Just finished restoring back the original rom.
*
same here.
the CM10.2 is fast in antutu and during use. but something not right for me. like its missing the photosphere thingy in the stock camera, and the focal camera apps doesnt work. quite alot typo from typing im assuming was bcoz of the touchscreen, but now u mention it. maybe the cm made it worse.

im now on CleanRom, basically stock rom just less bloats and some mods like restart/boot on menu and some other stuff . maybe need wait for the full cm10 release smile.gif

just saved my nexus from softbrick (i think) cry.gif
stuck at google logo, can go into bootloader and i have twrp recovery.
i tried flash custom rom CM10.2 and CleanRom from twrp but end up stuck at google logo sad.gif

end up trying restore thru fastboot ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582 )
been figuring out how to enable adb in bootloader, luckily found the link above notworthy.gif

now backing up everything all possible ways biggrin.gif

anyways, i bought myself a OTG cable, tried to connect OTG-->pendrive to restore twrp backup i made. but it wont load. is it because of the NTFS format?

You must wipe to install CM 10.2 but not necessary if you want to install cleanrom if you are starting from official rom. Changing rom in between them you must wipe too. Rebooting of both rom should take about a min for cleanrom while is about 2-3 mins for CM10.2.
You can only backup to a fat32 formatted thumbdrive.
Next time if you ever got stuck at google logo, press volup/down + power to switch off n than voldown+power to boot to recovery. Select wipe n reboot. You should be able to boot it back
*
ok noted.
but now i tried the otg with my pendrive fat32 still wont detect...
tried the stickmount app still cant mount.

my misTake i wipe clean everything data cache everything sweat.gif
but previously i had flash few roms d. but usually just wipe factory...

Is faster using soft button as you need slightly longer time to hit the vol buttons. Anyway I don't see any difference in time in taking pics in both
If the vol buttons positioned at center n not behind it Is more convenient to use
*
yup the vol key is not convenient.
but i feel like it snaps faster , soft button seems take longer to focus or using the vol button skips the focussing or it prefocus b4 shoot.

im using the Nexus Qi charger (for nexus 4)
quite slow charge sad.gif

Even if i got moneh i dont think i'll fork out for the LTE model. sweat.gif
unless its a phone, coz here coverage LTE not that much and still internet quota bandwidth too low for LTE.
i rather buy mifi modem (which i got now laugh.gif )
only that if have 64GB sure i buy, current 16gb too small sad.gif

For wechat, yes, you can directly install from google play store.
For whatsapp, no, you can't directly install from google play store, you can either use Titanium Backup method or Helium backup method to get it installed on nexus 7.

Whatsapp easily get from the site, just remember to enable install apk from unknown sources biggrin.gif

I got an error, telling me that tablet is currently not supported if I install the apk downloaded from whatsapp website  sweat.gif

it says that but u can continue smile.gif
enter your number then it will send sms to your phone.
then maybe it wont come out the box to enter the pin (from the sms)

u have to wait for few minutes to reenter your phone number,
enter your phone number and whatsapp will send sms.
then it will show to get code by phone call. choose that and the box to enter pin will appear biggrin.gif

abit leceh but works, trust me tongue.gif
then next time either u backup the app fully (titanium)
or just backup from inside whatsapp > settings > chat settings > backup conversations.
when u enter number after first time run , it will say to restore from backup notworthy.gif
