Mine is excellent , absolutely ZERO lags on latest carbon rom 1Oct with Elemental X kernel. I have been using this kernel since Carbon rom dated around end Aug. However I chose all the default values in the ElementalX and only select double tap to wake display and swype to sleep

Anyone having issues of dead pixels on the 2013 N7 or dust underneath the screen? There seems to be a problem on this from what I read from other forums
*
Yet to hear of such from users here.
There will always be some problem units but that affect a small minority only.
Any phone or tablet you will always read about problematic sets. It is of concern only if majority or close to everyone is reporting similar defects.

What I can tell you is this is the Best 7 to 8 inch android tablet available now. Actually no need to even test it. Only weakness it does not have external sdcard support. Root it n use stickmount app n a usb otg cable will overcome this deficiency

thx for reply bro. im currently using umoblile 3G and speed quite fast. Just wanna see how fast LTE can go...btw is there any simple way to root my nexus, install CWM/TWRP, install ROM? The toolkit you put in your link seem complicated.

Btw, what's the different btwn CWM & TWRP?
*
Read it again how can toolkit be complicated? Is a simple matter of choose what you want n just click

TWRP I feel is better as it backup n restore faster by at least 50% vs CWM. You can select backup to external thumb drive. Backup is one single folder
CWM backup in 2 different folders. If you have more than 1 backup no way you can identify the backup in the obb folder. This makes deleting any backup you don't need difficult. I m not too sure whether CWM allow backup to external media as previous version cannot

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?

Install a custom rom for this and I think there are mods for such too. Usually you flash such mods through recovery mode. Look these up at XDA

Hi Benny,

Just want to clarify (a basic thing for some here, I guess), if I root and install a custom recovery like TWRP (assuming I don't do anything else - no other customisations), I won't be able to receive OTA updates from Google in the usual manner, right? If I want those OTA updates in the usual manner, I will have to stick to stock recovery?
*
You can only update firmware through OTA successfully on STOCK kernel only . The OTA update will work even if you are rooted, as long as you haven't modified/deleted any of the existing OS files

But why bother to update through OTA when you have rooted and have custom recovery. Just download the latest update image from google developers ( these usually available 2-3 days after the update is officially released) and flash the latest update using toolkit or through the usual ADB commands and you will have rom updated

Just to set somethings clear, rooting voids warranty, or does it void only when you flash kernel/rom?

Not to say I'm concerned, but just curious =)
*
My previous N7 was rooted n with CWM installed. I hard brick it n it only can boot into CWM recovery mode only. Selecting restart only boot it back to CWM recovery. Pressing hard buttons unable to boot even into fast boot mode.
I sent in to Skudai JB Asus center n was told motherboard need to be replaced. Was surprised it was free n Tablet even recorded as rooted w CWM installed. Three weeks later got a call that technician screw up changing motherboard n was told to send in original box w accessories to exchange for a brand new sealed set. Well i did get a brand new sealed set.
In fact many previous N7 users had reported speakers change FOC even with the tablets rooted

My PC cannot recognize my Nexus 7 in MTP mode with USB debugging ON. I got tired of having to disable USB debugging to get the MTP device recognized. Any fix on this? sad.gif  PTP work well but cannot access to all file folders...
*
I never have such issues with my WinXP desktop, ex Asus Win7 netbook and current Win *8 Vaio Pro. I need not even to have to set this MTP, PTP stuffs - the N7 is auto detect and I can manage its files from the computer. And my USB Degugging is by default always ON. I suggest you reinstall your USB drivers - I did it using the PDANet option in Nexus toolkit

I did found a thread in XDA regarding this matters.. But it only have fix for stock ROM... I tried to uninstall and reinstall the ADB Interface under Device Manager but doesn't help... By the way I install the driver through "mskip" toolkit... Or do i need to download and install the PDANet manually?
*
I install the drivers via the toolkit

Hmm... ok then I will try to figure it out again... By the way, is there any problem if I keep USB debugging off for normal usage? Because I receive alert from Titanium Backup to enable usb debugging....
*
I always leave it on by default for all my androids . Lazy to turn it on when I need it. There is nothing wrong to leave it on.
