From what I've heard from GameStop and Google is that everyone who preordered the tablet will get the credit, no matter where it was preordered.

It is strange that on the pages staples written «Buy the new tablet from Google and get $25 credit to spend on Google Play, as well as some great free content, including your own copy of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.»

Macmall nexus 7

25$ giftcard to play store

No tax and free 2-3 day shipping

They didn't mentioned about the free movie or book or any other cool stuff. Called the customer service they have no clue even about the 25$ free gift card . Hopefully they have it on the tablet.

Any official word on whether a signature will be required upon delivery?
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
I spoke to a Google rep a while ago, and they said that depends on the carrier. My UPS doesn't usually make me sign, but other carriers might.
[Nexus 7 General] greenwood625:
I received a email from macmall saying nexus 7 is on backorder. They didn't want give us a date when they r going to mail it.
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
You ordered the nexus from macmall....
[Nexus 7 General] greenwood625:
Yes. They updated The web page now saying that they r going to mail it Tuesday.

No brainer ordering from macmall

It was no question for me. Macmall let me use Amazon payments (keeping my cc info to as few a places as possible.) Linking in from fatwallet to macmall gave me 2.5% cash back and my cc gave me 1% so, ordering it from macmall got it for 240.29 after all is said and done with no tax and free shipping. Can't really beat that.

When you set up the Nexus ( I bought it from Staples), it tells you that you get a $25 credit if you activate Wallet with a credit card, but having done so, I don't see the credit anywhere in Play...where do you look to find it?
[Nexus 7 General] Fall Guy:
I seem to remember that if you buy from the Play Store you select pay from balance rather than c/card. Not got mine so can't confirm can't remember which of the 100,000 posts it was mentioned.

Yeah, the only option seems to be to charge it to the credit card directly.

I bought my 16gb this morning. I have had the flickering screen. It's most noticeable on the bright white or light colored screens. It is manifesting as a couple of momentary flashes of brightness. It seems to occur regularly.It will occur when scrolling the page or without any interaction. I personally don't care if it happens to be considered normal. I am just concerned, especially since I bought it 60 miles from home.

Should i buy a Nexus 7?

Hi, i'm new to xda and i do not live in the US or the UK (i live in the Netherlands), but i do want to buy a Nexus 7... So i wanted to ask to you all if i should buy it in the US or UK and ship it to my country for around $300 or £200 (total price) or should i wait until semptember and but it in my own country for €250.... I really hope for some advice :)
[Nexus 7 General] BuddyJoe83:
Hi Sem, I am in your position aswell.

I pre ordered the Nexus 7 from an eBay known seller, he will probably send 'em out Thursday.

I would suggest pay a little more and get it now. I would suggest getting it from a UK seller because if you buy from the US you probably will have to pay taxes to get it through customs (internationsl shipping). If you would buy from a UK seller, you won't have this..just the shipping fee.

There is some serious taxes going on from purchases outside the EU. Check the Dutch website for customs etc., it's all shown there.

I get that part. From what I have heard about Nexus 7, it does not have a landscape view of the home screen. Is this a Nexus 7 feature or it would apply to all 7" Tablets as well? ﻿

[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
I bought mine from Staples as well. When the credit screen first popped up after I set up my device I skipped it because I did not have my credit card on hand. Subsequently, when I attempted to purchase something from the Play Store on the N7 tablet, under payment options I saw "add credit card to receive 25$ credit". Check if you see that. Has to be on the tablet though.
[Nexus 7 General] Salty Wagyu:
Is it recommended to remove my card details on my Google Wallet before I sign into my Nexus 7, to ensure I get the £15 credit?
[Nexus 7 General] stee01:
UK users get £15 play voucher on their account. Not exclusive to Google play (got mine from pc world). I didn't need to add another card or remove my current one from my account. It adds it when you activate your device.

You also get transformers dark of the moon, nexus quick start guide (book) and only time will tell by Jeffrey Archer (book).

Magazines are not available in the UK and you don't get any free ones with your device. Movies are only available to rent and not to purchase.

Completely unrelated to the $25 credit that comes with the N7...

By the way, can someone update the OP? The 8GB version IS NOT exclusive to play store. Maybe it was back in July but now its in places like Staples as well.

Hey, remember when I suggested Hybrid UI? Well, you messed that up in the FAQ. You're so-called "Phone UI" is really Hybrid UI. Hybrid UI isn't something you get by activating Tablet UI.

Ive been getting this inverted color a few times, it nothing much but its cool, due to i never seen it before

The color gets inverted when i pressed home button too many times, (which i probably understand as it loads Voice assistant)

but ill attach some pictures from it,

seems like it is a feautre when you pressing the home button 4 times O_o

Feature from Siyah. He implemented this because when you are using the Browser [mostly], you can do this to make the background black, so it will save some battery. Better for reading too.

[Galaxy S II General] martintspedersen:
i too think is was a bug... but now i now is not thanks mates... to revert it press 4 times again
[Galaxy S II General] antonio1475:
In Fluxi kernel, it's 2 fingers swipe from left to right (border to border).

I freaked out because it happened sometimes when writing (when tapping with 2 fingers, some times (2 or 3, not more) it inverted the colors, until searching I saw it's a "kernel feature".

[Galaxy S II General] Jarmezrocks:
SAME!!! And it does it on the 4.04 firmware too! Same on my mates 4.03 standard I think it is somehow meant to be a feature. If you press 4 times again it reverts back. Scared the **** out of me first time i did this. I tried to take screen shots via the standard screen capture but it showed the images as standard?

Stumbled upon this.with fluxi two weeks ago, not usefull if you use a black theme though

Freaked me out as well

Oh man... I serched the forums before and somehow I missed this thread. I was actually on Omega ROM and it happened to me every now and then and thought it was a bug. I ended up installing an AOKP ROM because of this.On both cases I use Siyah, so now I am wiser. Although I did go through the Siyah FAQ I did not see this feature advertised anywhere.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

So my problem is that I don't have data anymore on my Xperia S with Ka09 and Advanced Stock Kernel v9, I tried to reflash kernel and rom several times with no results.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chosaint:
I have looked on the forums, and only see that it is confirmed working for the Xperia Play owners. Is there a Transformer Prime owner out there that has this game working with a Gamepad? I'd like to use my PS3 controller if possible. Just trying to get it to work by starting the game, the only button that worked was "Select" and all that did was open the in game menu, further pressing of Select would log you out to the character screen, and then the login screen.

Anyways, sorry if this is a stupid question, I just keep thinking of the better time I could be having. Not that the game isn't fun without a gamepad, the virtual controls are fine, and they do their job, it just isn't ideal for long periods of play in my opinion.

Thanks in advance for answers. :good: :laugh:

Hello.

If you phone is briked and not rebooting. But you flash any Recvoery. Then they must do:

1. Power Off LG Optimus Black

2. Power on

3. Quickly press: Volume Down

4. PROFIT!!!

Worked on any ROM :)

I think that you first need to flash erecovery or grecovery

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
EDIT: Okay, although Chainfire 3D is incapable of emulating Tegra 3 hardware, it emulates Tegra 2 hardware quite well. This can work to our advantage, because as it turns out, Riptide GP's enhanced Tegra 3 effects are actually enabled in-game via the options menu. It took some tinkering, but this is what I figured out. Upon launch, Riptide GP does a device check to see what SoC your device is using. If a Tegra SoC is detected, the option for enhanced graphics and effects is added to the in-game options menu. So, while using the NVIDIA Chainfire 3D plugin will not do anything to enable Tegra 3 features, it allows you to enable those features yourself. Following the steps below should get you where you want to go.

1.) Install Riptide GP & Chainfire 3D w/plugins.

2.) Open Chainfire 3D & enable the NVIDIA plugin for Riptide GP, unroll textures, and force 24-bit (Anti-Aliasing is optional if you're using the beta GL driver).

3.) Launch Riptide GP. At this point, no Tegra 3 graphics or effects have been enabled. Open the options menu and go into the graphics options. Max the slider out.

4.) Exit the options menu and start a game. You will now notice glass-like water, and water droplets on the screen when you get sprayed.

I hope that you've found this useful. It wasn't the simple file edit I was hoping for, but it does work. Enjoy!

##################################

Like Dead Trigger, Riptide GP also contains optimizations for the Tegra 3 SoC. These optimizations are not Tegra-only features. The Exynos 4 Quad (Exynos 4412) is perfectly capable of running the game with the enhanced graphics & physics. As a matter of fact, in the case of Dead Trigger, these supposed "Tegra-only" features are handily displayed on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6810), Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), and Galaxy S II (GT-I9100); all of which run a much slower, and much less powerful Exynos 4 Dual (Exynos 4210).

So that being said, what I would like to know is how to enable these enhanced graphics and physics for Riptide GP. There is a guide for enabling these features for Dead Trigger. So is there a guide for doing the same with Riptide GP? I did a Google search and searched XDA as well. I never actually found the guide for Riptide GP; just a reference to it in the Dead Trigger guide.

Can somebody please help me? Thank you in advance.

app named chainfire 3d

download it and install its pluggins
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Chainfire 3D cannot emulate Tegra 3 hardware. Chainfire himself has addressed this issue on several occasions. Using the NVIDIA plugin in ANY game optimized for Tegra 3 hardware will do absolutely nothing to improve the graphics and/or enable any Tegra 3 features. I appreciate the advice, but Chainfire 3D can only enable Tegra 2 games and/or Tegra 2 features; not Tegra 3 games. In order to enable enhanced graphics for Tegra 3 devices, files usually need to be modified to "switch" those features on. In the case of Dead Trigger, an XML file needs to be opened and two values increased. One value adds features, and the other value increases quality. On a Tegra 3 device, these values are represented as quality settings in the in-game options; but the options are unavailable on non-Tegra hardware. So the values have to be changed manually via the XML edit. This is what I'm looking for in Riptide GP.

So, as I asked before, is there a guide, similar to the XML edit for Dead Trigger, that will enable the Tegra 3 features for Riptide GP?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Here's an example.

This is what Chainfire 3D w/NVIDIA plugin does for Dead Trigger (Nothing):

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It has the same storyplot, weapons and stupid AI. So by my standards it is =)

Tetris has always been the same game too, regardless of how nicely they tried to animate it :p

Afaik you need to hack the APK to get it to work... but I have no details on what exactly needs to be modified.

Since I don't own the game, have you tried looking into the shared_prefs folder of the game in the /data/data/ folder?

It seems to be Unity-based too so maybe a similar file can be found.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Ya'. I've been digging around. I'm sure I'll find it eventually, but I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I really hate the bull**** deals NVIDIA's made with game developers. The Exynos 4 Quad (Exynos 4412) absolutely spanks the Tegra 3. NVIDIA doesn't put anything special in their SoC's; just a bunch of bull**** marketing. Don't get me wrong. The Tegra 3 is a very nice SoC, but it's not an albino unicorn sprinkled in fairy dust.

You could show them your middle finger as recently did Linus Torvald, the father of Linux and by extension the kernel of the Android operating system.

Same with Xbox they bribe the game developers for quicker DLC when clearly the ps3 or PC are much better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
So that's the reason why Valve released the updates free-of-charge on the computers while they were (at least partially) paid on the Xbox? :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I'll make it easier on you. When I get back home later this week, I'll find a way to get you the *.apk; with the explicit understanding that this is to be a legitimate attempt to add functionality, not a way to get a free copy of Riptide GP. I do not support or condone warez.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
If I wanted an illegal copy of Riptide, I'd have it several hours. These things are not hard to come by.

However the Apk has license checks so even if I extract it I cannot be sure if some files are not created during run-time.

So please just upload that particular folder's content.
