johrael just curious, can we get the additional 2 years Citibank warranty if we buy from other retailers as well? like DirectD satu gagdet etc?

I understand the POV of both sides.

What I'd do is, play around with a test unit of the N7 and see if you like how it feels etc. If you do buy it, and the touchsreen is having issues, send to ASUS to get a screen replacement. If it is without any issue, just enjoy it!

Mine, local set is 1.35 Amp as well.

This is my usage for today. Stock rooted, LTE model but without sim card. Around 6 hours 13 minutes screen on time for 72 % of battery usage.

If you extrapolate it for say almost 90% of battery usage, you'll get around 7 hours 40 minutes screen on time.

Brightness set to auto

light gaming (kingdom rush), a lot of youtube vids and browsing, feedly, pocket

I am using N7 LTE stock rom too. only rooted because i wanted to use AdAway and Cerberus root function. have been using it for a few weeks, so far no issues except for this one, explained below.


I realized that some units are affected with the random reboot issue. I got it when i first bought it(stock no modification), it will reboot randomly a few times a day. reflashed factory image, and all is well after that.

the random reboots happened before i did anything to the n7.

if you are asking when i rooted the device, did i wiped the data and cached manually, then no.

but the process would definitely wipe your data if you haven't unlocked the bootloader.

i
1.unlocked bootloader via fastboot
2. fastboot flash twrp
3. root via CFAutoRoot

haha that is one of the many reasons why me and my friends are using hangouts more. can reply at multiple devices

here you go http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

just install the apk and activate normally.

most likely there is some modification to your /system partition. you can flash the factory image of 4.3 for the /system only. this way, your data and apps would be intact. then just use TWRP to sideload it again.

I can't test it out now, since mine is an LTE version, but that is how i did it on my N4, when i was still using stock. it should work the same on N7


no difference there.

the roll out is completely random, not by region. if yours is wifi unit, you can already sideload the update, instead of waiting

yeap uncle benny, that is what i meant actually. put the zip in your device and flash it like a rom, then reflash supersu. profit!

now waiting for that ota.zip for lte model.

reflash factory image. solved my random reboots when i first bought the device, on 4.3

new builds just dropped.

4.4 (KRT16S)

flash the OTA zip file in your custom recovery. and you might have to reflash supersu, might not.

if you don't want to wait (like me )

download the factory img and flash the system img ONLY, via fastboot. if your bootloader and radio are still not the kitkat ones, flash them too. and then flash supersu again in recovery.

both methods won't disturb your data.

Just flash the latest TWRP. Someone has already posted the OTA zip file for wifi version.

Razor KRT16S from KRT16O http://j.mp/1bPcO2m

This is for wifi only.

Download it, reboot to custom recovery, and flash it like a ROM. You may have to reflash supersu.

If you are completely stock with only root, open supersu and look for full unroot or installation. Try reflashing the zip file again. You will then need to flash the latest supersu again. Available here j.mp/latestsupersu

Yeap it did. But went back to 4.4 after KRT16S. Why are you looking to downgrade? I flashed the factory image

Just sideload it, or flash it in recovery if you have TWRP installed. Stock kernel, rooted, installed busybox and adaway.

Download the OTA zip file
Reboot to TWRP
Flash the OTA zip file
Flash supersu again.

Profit

Been doing this since 4.3

No need to relock your bootloader again, unless for warranty reason

The screen is slightly warmer, but then the Nexus 4 stock setting has a more blue ish tint and looks washed out because the screen is actually a bit flawed and they had to go for that setting to avoid colour banding.

My N4 looks better after colour tweak still too blue ish. I think the N7 Screen is very good.

Maybe compare your Nexus 7 with another unit or demo unit and compare the colour at the same brightness level.

That touch issue is quite bad. Do you use a screen protector? Demo the touch issue when you ask for a replacement. They have apps for that.
just install the apk from whatsapp main site, and verify the number. it worked for me. i then changed it to whatsapp+ because i love the colour tweaks (to install whatsapp plus, backup current whatsapp via helium or tb, uninstall whatsapp, install whatsapp+ then restore data and it should work)

you can of course use the titanium backup method and restore a saved whatsapp data from another device, but do note that whatsapp can be run on one number, so whatsapp on the previous device would fail.
