Only 1 account permitted per phone number, so either use on iPhone or Nexus 7.

I think SenQ got, but not sure if it applies to penang store though.

Can, but not from Play Store, need download from whatsapp website.

First, you need to know sometimes the search function in Google Play Store is really dump, it cannot return the results that I wanted, so you better google the apps name and you will get the link in the first few results linking you to Google Play Store web page if you are on desktop and click Install, your tablet will start downloading it in no time, or if you are on tablet's browser, it will bring you to Google Play Store app.

1. FB Messenger is compatible, can be found here
2. You need Xposed framework which requires root access or alternatively use custom ROM, some of them have this settings for you to adjust, disable it or alert at certain percentage.
3. Install custom kernel which allows you to use Double-tap-to-wake and Double-tap-to-sleep/Sweep-to-sleep so you don't have to worry the power button's lifetime.

Charging rate is ok for me, it took around 150 minutes to fully charge from <10% for my unit.

Setup an US based Google account and you are good to go, you get full access to Google Play Store services like Magazine, Movies&TV, Music which are currently not available in Malaysia.

Custom kernel replaces stock ROM kernel which provides many tweaks to your device such as individual control of all cores activity, clock speed, screen color intensity control, d2w/s2s feature.

Here is a popular custom kernel which can be found on xda forum for your reference.

Bought a TPU case when I got my Nexus 7 but still prefer using it naked with only screen protector applied, I love the back cover of this tablet, not glossy at all

Add your US based account in Settings > Account > Google.
After this, open Play Store, swipe from left, click your name(the banner), select your US based account in the drop down menu.

Not really like jailbreak, but yes the swipe to sleep and double tap to wake are only available through custom kernel.

Call - no
SMS - yes

Asus announces the official wireless and wired charging dock for Nexus 7 2013


Available to buy at Amazon, eBay etc.

First page updated with product video and purchasing channel.

Can try satu gadget, they are selling RM869 for 16GB WiFi. Call them first before going though.

To check your batch, you can see the white sticker at the bottom of your box, i.e. my unit is first batch, it shows 07(July) or something similar(sorry the box is not with me so cannot tell you the correct labelling method)

Yes, but if manufactured in Sept 2013 then I don't think it will come preinstalled with 4.4.2 since 4.4 was released in mid November for Nexus 7 and 4.4.2 in December.

Anyway you can check the SSN too, just right above the "Made in China...." tag, the second digit indicates the manufacturing month, i.e D90KBC...., 9 indicates September and vice versa.

For touch screen fix, there is a mod in XDA forum which you can try to download and see if it works for you.

Asus Service Center @RM430 or local shop nearby your area but price is an unknown though.

Actually PvZ2 publisher EA is having 2 different accounts in Play Store, one is Electronic Arts which is only available for US based account to access and download content, other region or we call it RoW(rest of the world) will have to download EA games from EA Swiss Sarl.

I prefer GNL/Nova/Apex, not a fan of Go Launcher, I think it's too fancy haha

You mean you cannot download PvZ2 from Play Store?
Go here for PvZ2(RoW): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...a.game.pvz2_row
Go here for EA Swiss Sarl account: https://play.google.com/store/apps/develope...d=EA+Swiss+Sarl

Click the install, and it should let you choose the device to install, if you see "not eligible to install in your country" then your account is already US based, you need go here, if you see Play Store error then your account is not US based.

When you see "Installed", it doesn't mean that your device already has the app installed, it means that you have already purchased/installed the app before so it is tied or registered to your google account.

There is only 2 posibilities, either you can install RoW version of EA app or NA version of EA app, if both also not available to install, then you might need to email support and let them know your issue, or a more simpler way, open a new google account.

1. Install 3rd party app(it kills battery juice btw), use custom rom or install Gravity under Xposed framework(need root access).

2. Actually there is no 'recommended' apps, it depends on how you are going to use it, for work/school, maybe you need Adobe Reader, Quickoffice etc, for social networking, you need Facebook, Twitter, G+, Instagram, Whatsapp, WeChat, Viber etc. according to your need, if you are advance user and have rooted your tablet, you can download Ads blocker, kernel/rom tweaker app etc. Basically if you own iPad before(since you say first Android tablet, I assume you have iPad or other OS tablet), then you can search Play Store and download those apps which you have used before.

Can try contacting Asus since dead pixel on the screen is not caused by you right?

Go to settings > apps > find the browser and click it > choose clear defaults
