Do you think their will be an OTA Update when we start our N7's up?

Because after you do fastboot OEM unlock you don't get otas anymore right?

[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
That is true, but oddly the galaxy nexus from the play store doesn't wipe data when unlocking the boot loader. Hoping this is the same here
[Nexus 7 General] Duncs:
Well from the sound of it i will be the opposite one lol, my plan is to spend the free credit on some games and put it through its paces before even thinking of rooting.

[Nexus 7 General] iwantanandroid:
Is this game on Play Store? Any good?
[Nexus 7 General] Clarkster:
No, you have to run it through a Dos emulator.

DosBox Turbo on the Store can run it. One Must Fall 2097 is also freeware now, not just abandon-ware, so you actually can download and install it legally.

Now if I could find some way of hooking up my old Gravis Gamepad. ;)

I'll do some surfing while I admire the screen and check it for defects, then start loading up some programs. I also want to check some details like USB transfer speed and wifi speed (although i'm not expecting much as there is no 40 MHz support around yet, so still limited to 65 or 72 Mbps theoretical about 25 mbps actual).

The first thing I may do aside from an unboxing video is unlocking the bootloader. I won't be in any hurry to root it, this is Google's Nexus baby afterall! Then I will sign in, get all of my Google apps loaded, followed by social apps, make sure everything is all synced, then get my homescreens etc in order and start playing around with all the new JB features! Oh, and for a good laugh, the easter egg is one of the very first things I will do! I won't be able to resist going into settings to confirm I'll actually have a devices running 4.1!

I can't wait to get mine as well. First steps for me:

- Root

- VPN to USA for Google Play Store

- Set up Plex for video streaming

- Play with USB OTG for video playback

- Load up my ebooks & comics and decide which CBR reader is best

- Think of ways to spend my $25 store credit

I hope it ships next week because I have someone flying from USA to here on the 24th of July. We meet July 28th so if I'm lucky I'll have it then.

[Nexus 7 General] Bayton:
Apply a case and screen protector.

Infact, it won't be taken out of the box until I have those :)
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
Unbox it obviously, then turn it on and set it up, check for very obvious defects such as the volume buttons not working or wifi being dodgy then turn it back off and unlock the bootloader. Set it up again and then enable tablet mode and get everything running JUST the way I like it. Rooting it will be in the process just for Ad-away and root explorer which I will buy using the $25 credit along with ROM Manager Premium and maybe Splashtop for tablet but I'll wait until it's compatible.

When you log into your Nexus 7 device and open the Android Market for the first time it will ask you if you want to add the $25 credit to your account. Press yes and that's it.

Reply "No" and let us know what happens...

Not about to try it on mine.

You can't press no. You can press something along the lines of "not on this account" and you'll have the option to add it to another google account if that is what you desire.

What's your opinion on screen protector? I'll be buying the official case when it comes out, but I''m not too good at applying screen protectors on my phone, I'd be willing to pay Best Buy to put it on. But I'm not sure if I really need one, since it's a glass screen not a plastic one, and Scratch Resistant.

That question belongs in the accessories forum.

Honestly... If you're not too handy with screen protectors and want the best, grab an XOSkin (xoskins.com) they're wet applications, so you really can't mess them up as long as you don't get any dust trapped underneath them you can line them up perfectly then allow it to dry.

Root (verb and noun) : synonym for the F-bomb in nearly all its senses: "I feel rooted"; "this washing machine is rooted"; "(s)he's a good root". A very useful word in fairly polite company.
