I think it is quite hard to find in malaysia now since this technology is still new to us. But here is the link if you wish to buy it online, it costs you 30usd btw.

Between Firefox and chrome, which is better? Which one tax less to the battery? BTW, I too have touchscreen issue  ...
*
I prefer chrome because it can sync my bookmarks across all the devices I am using. And for the touchscreen issue, have you updated to latest JSS15R build?

I already updated, no touchscreen issue also...lol

Some of us do not have the touchscreen issue out-of-box, so it doesn't matter for you whether you have the latest build or not. Only small percentage of the users are having this issue and updates do not reflect any changes yet but some users are reporting this issue gets fixed in the latest update(JSS15R), just to make sure he has updated to latest build, if problem still persists, he can choose either send back for RMA and hope to get a perfect unit in return or keep it until Google fix it.

Guys, wonder if anyone face the same question like me. Other than grounding issue which the newest update didn't fix for me, I have other performance problem. When I browse using chrome, with 7 tabs open, the image of the page still start to shutter when I zoom in. Just the left side of the page though. No matter what site, it will happen quite frequently and only the left side.

Plus my battery usage is really high. On screen time 2 hr 20 mins using up 40% already. All I do is browsing only with chrome.

Here is my Nexus 7 battery life with PA 3.99 RC2 + ElementalX kernel with 1.7GHz CPU and 487MHz GPU(a little overclocked)

i know root la, but not at the level of flashing kernel.How about the performance issue I have? Any thoughts?
*
Flashing kernel is same as flashing custom rom because now kernel comes with zip installation method too.

And about your performance issue, I think maybe it's chrome issue because sometimes chrome behaves like this when many tabs are opened, firefox is smooth all the way, you can try out other browsers and see if it is chrome's issue.

My Wi-Fi showing ON for 2 days even though I didnt on my wifi... Hmmm is this normal or not? By the way mine is WiFi only version..
*
It's because Android 4.3 added a hidden WiFi scanning feature, it allows google apps to scan for WiFi even though you have WiFi turned off, you can manually turn off this feature in WiFi advance settings to save battery.

I see the price for 32 GB LTE is RM1299, may I know the price for 16 GB & 32 GB Wi-Fi?
Where can I get the Wi-Fi ones in shop locally? Thanks.
*
Asus Malaysia brings in 16GB WiFi and 32GB LTE version only, so there is no official 32GB WiFi only model here but you can find in garage sales, some sellers are bringing 32GB WiFi version from US to Malaysia, price varies from RM1000-1050.

The official MY set price:
16GB WiFi is RM999
32 WiFi + LTE is RM1299

You can find local set at Senheng outlets, Hotspot Malaysia, DirectD, Satu Gadget Dot Com etc.

just bought my nexus 7.
immediately paid USD2.99 for a NMI(Nexus media importer).
plug in OTG, and tried to play a 2xxmb MP4 video file.

why does it stream inmstead of playing it directly?and it is lagging too.
any idea?
*
Do you open the video in external video player like MX player? I tried to open in MX player and it seems running fine to me.

Hey all,

i have question on this new nexus. do this device get hot when playing normal game for too long or watching video for too long? as i have tried ipad mini, it doesn't get hot when play normal game and streaming video..im in dilemma on choosing which 1
*
If light game then it won't get hot easily, it will get hot if you play graphics intensive games like Asphalt 8, MC4, FIFA 14 etc. As for watching movies, yes it does get hot after watching for a long period but I think it's normal since it utilizes the processor when you watch video. I personally prefer new Nexus 7 rather than iPad Mini because of its higher screen resolution, better processor and RAM etc.

thanks for your great opinion..one more question~! I personally never use any nexus (pure android) before and i was wondering that the smoothness of this nexus 7.. is it buttery smooth and switching between apps is seamless?

coz i have played my sis ipad mini (iOS 6), it was smooth enough but once she upgrade to iOS7, it get lagged (which is a minus point for this).

really appreciated for your great opinion~!
*
Yes, it runs buttery smooth for me and haven't encounter any lag so far, btw I am not using stock ROM atm, but you shouldn't worry about the smoothness of stock ROM, it is always the one of the smoothest Rom out there thumbup.gif

You can always try out the demo unit first if you are wondering about the smoothness of the device.

oh thks uncle for clarifying. Will do it later on. btw, why nexus dont have reboot/restart option when i press & hold the power button?
*
Stock ROM does not come with those options, need to change the framework or install third party app to have them in the reboot menu, or install a custom ROM.

so expensive. o.o taobao rm 3+rm9/kg. oni 12. o.o

I bought mine at RM17, pay today get it tomorrow, it simplifies the buying process for me at least so I do not care if it is a bit more expensive than buying from taobao.

how to flash back stock rom and stock recovery?
*
Download factory image here, then either use android SDK with command to flash it or use toolkit to finish the job for you. Flash stock ROM will unroot your device and replace with stock recovery too.
