So who will handle the warranties? Google says them, Asus says them.

Guys look at this... http://www.cadget.com/brown-asus-google-nexus-7-tablet-in-canada-pictures/

Oops sorry, did not realise someone posted this :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
Somebody already put that exact link on the page before this. Just saying.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:
What terrible lighting. I don't know what to make of this thread. Is there really a brown one?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutnat:
Just got mine. It's brown. Pretty dark brown, but brown. And it says so on the sticker on the box too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
What is the backing of the N7 made of out? If it's a soft plastic, there is a good chance it might be possible to dye it pure black for anyone who wants. A clothing dye known as "Rit Dye" is pretty popular for dying soft plastics, and I had good experience with it making keyboard keys pure black.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:
Google or Asus? What country are you in? Did you buy from the play store?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brizey:
Mine is a US Play Store and it too is dark brown and says brown on the box.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSDeeds:
Very interesting. I got mine from the Google Store and it has the standard black back. This is the first I've heard about two version. Huh...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Why would Asus want to do this? It is pretty well known the tablet is selling for cost. What would asus gain other than hoping people like them for their next tablet?

My box says brown and i preordered before Google io started. Mine looks black. There is no way you could even mistake it for brown, even in the brightest sun.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutnat:
I'm in Canada, got from a national electronics chain called Future Shop (owned by Best Buy). The branding is more ASUS than I expected. The outer sleeve on the box mentions Asus, the back of the tablet says Asus and not Google, etc. The charger even has ASUS branding on it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzongtang:
Mine is the black back. I ordered it from Office Depot and on the bottom part of the rubber backing the Asus brand name is engraved right in there. And in case anyone was wondering, model is ME370T. Least now we know for sure what became of the elusive eeepad memo :)

So are there other Nexus 7 out there with Google branding or do they all say Asus on the back?

Also, just fyi, as a side note, this tablet is not being sold at cost. According to the tear downs done on it, these tablets cost about $151 in hardware. It seems Chinese labor being as cheap as it is means that Asus and Google are both turning a nice profit from this line up. Especially with the 16Gb variant.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
My Nexus 7 ASUS arrived yesterday from car phone warehouse.

Invoice still states are 'brown', but is very close to black.

I have checked mine against my mates who ordered of Google Play UK and they are the same until you check them side by side under a desk lamp. There is a difference in colour, and the brown is clearly visible now.

Also by box states 'Nexus 7 ASUS, BRN, GL, GPS, 1GB DDR3L, NFC'

My mates has 'BLK' instead of BRN.

Given the choice I would have preferred Black but I didnt want to wait also for warranty/RMA CarPhoneWarehouse has lots of stores this would make it easier than calling Google support and posting tablets.

In the UK, it looks like Black is only available from Google store, all retailers lists it as Brown.

So far so good, I am happy with the Nexus 7. Battery life is very impressive. 4 hours of 720p HD viewing and still had 60% remaining.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:
Ordered mine from the play store.

Box says "nexus7,brown, gl, gps, 1gddr3l,nfc" but it looks black.

United States. California. Ordered it on July 17.

This is really weird. It looks black even in direct sunlight so I don't mind. But strange nonetheless.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemidroids:
Why not use UPS? They get it there right on time. I paid for two day shipping and got two day shipping. What the heck could they do to make it better? They do EXACTLY what they said they would. I dont use anything but UPS.

ASUS could do better by not using so many third worlders but the price would be reflected in that decision. Are the masses going to pay 40% more for the same product?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flub:
Are you people really that gullible? Do you believe everything you are told?

Google said there was 2 versions to try cover up the fact that they cocked up big time with deliveries, they are all Google Nexus
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Mine is brown & it came from the GooglePlay shop.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowanparker:
Mine is from Tesco and the box says brown but it most definitely is black. How odd...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
The $151 is how much parts cost. Selling one for $151 would be losing money, even for asus.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR36:
I wouldn't bet on it. The Asus return procedure at cpw (they came from Asus not Google) is very long windid. If you make a return outside of 28 days you will get a repair it replacement. But will be without your tab for 14-28 days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthur Hucksake:
Under certain lights you can actually make it out as brown. Darkest brown i've ever seen in my life though. It's seriously beyond chocolate.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
There are 3 versions out there of the same product

Nexus 7 i/o - white backing and black bezel trim. These were given out by Google to devs and special people.

Nexus 7 - black backing and silver bezel trim. Intended for Google play store pre orders

Nexus 7 - dark brown backing and silver bezel trim. This is the official retail release

Apparently some pre order black units had poor build quality.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
Anything outside standard 28 days is normally referred to OEM.

So everyone is subject to Asus rma process anyway unless Google has some special deal with asus
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushter:
Nothing
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR36:
They do yes. They are sending out replacements and then asking for returns within 28 days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
My 27 June preorder from Playstore is labeled: NEXUS7,Brown,GL,GPS,1G DDR3L,NFC.

Darkest brown I ever saw - I would call it black.

Google does not manufacture the Nexus 7 - these are all Asus products.

Warrantee card says Asus - although I would go to Google if I had issues.

Here again, I would take what Google CS says with a grain of salt - these are just people, and possibly temps

At this point, regular XDA posters know more about the product than Google CS does.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDRFAN:
Just out of curiosity, when downloading an app through Google Play's website, is your Nexus 7 listed as GOOGLE Nexus 7, or ASUS Nexus 7? Mine is currently listed as ASUS Nexus 7...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
That's make it worth buying from Google play store if that's their rma process. let's hope either of us have use the warranty.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkquota:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alahdal:
A newbie Question... What about the update for the item purchased from out of Google Play.. Is it by Asus or Google.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PROlific666:
Its the same. Its a nexus device so the updates come directly from Google no matter where you bought it. They are both nakasi. The GNex does have multiple versions and firmware but the N7 has one build.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michaeldotson817:
That's what happened to me. With the s3 being so new and since I bought it from t mobile I went up to the store I bought it from. I told them I put some music on it last night and this morning I restarted it and it didn't turn on. Then I told them I tried charging the battery all day so I don't think it is the battery (just so they already think it's a hardware issue) They replaced it with a brand new one. That was the solution for me. Let me know if it works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nabbed:
This is fraud.

If you brick your device, own up to it and take it like a man.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave1977nj:
Don't listen to this guy ^^^^^ :eek:

If it doesn't turn on at all reseat the battery, plug it into the charger it nothing comes up at all bring it back to the store and exchange it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
First off learn from your mistakes. If you don't know what your doing why mess with something that isn't broken? Should have gotten some advice first. Can you get it back to download mode? You unplugged it from your computer to try and turn it on right? Hear that leaving it plugged wield cause it to not turn on. Don't quote me on that tho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
To the OP..what exactly did you flash using Odin? Did you flash clockworkmod? If you did..have you tried to boot into cwm?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] r3a1ist:
Try to return the phone its a software problem which will cost samsung nothing. Even if they had to replace your data storage hardware it would cost them nothing while you're taking a $600 hit for no reason. Use the resources available to you. Don't mind the blowhards they don't know what a brick is. Also make sure you research and try to fix it yourself first.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KennyG123:
Discussion on how to lie to the carrier to get your phone replaced for free after bricking it is fraud and the discussion of such is against XDA rules. That is what insurance is for. You brick it, admit to it and pay the deductible for a new phone. If you do anything else, good luck but do not discuss it here!

Thank you for your cooperation

My problem is simple, my HTC One X wakes up on his own. It acts as if I had pressed the power button to get to the locker screen.

[HTC One X] spthacker:
I asked the same question as my HOX would wake up over night whilst being charged.....

What I was told is that HTC built in something that means if the phone is put on charge with less than 50% battery left it will turn itself back on once fully charged!

More than 50% and it won't...

Dunno whether that helps or not?
[HTC One X] Xphoid:
Which ROM are you using?

I'm on ViperX for the time being and I'm pretty sure it's related to my ROM...but only happens during charging...

In some messages I have seen that if "System Tuner App" is installed it causes something like that... I don't know if it is really related with our issue cause I did not uninstall System Tuner to check it out...

I guess you are talking about HoX's getting on while charging AND when you leave the device OFF...

But the situation here is when you turn off the screen only and leave it like that while charging...

Hello, people.

The title says it all. Is it only me, or is there anybody else having this problem?

It seems my phone can't record even a 1 minute long video. It just stops and save at some 30-40 seconds. I have only use 3 gigs of storage, so it can't be that. This has been going on since the first time I bought it. Now even on Android 4, it's still going on.

Any idea what seems to be the problem? And how to fix it?

Any input is most appreciated.

Thanks,

Well, I guess so then. Or maybe it was a newbie mistake?

I'm ashamed to say that I have not got the time to fully explore the phone, even though I've had it for months.

Anyway, I found a way out.

I disabled the on-screen recording button and start recording with the camera button on the body. Works like a charm now!

Thanks anyway for those who answered!

I did install ICS 4 times (back to HC even) and had the same problem just like you said.

And CSC change from ZTO (Brazil) to KOR (Korea, I think) as Kies shows.

Tried WiFi Fixer from Google Play but no luck. Keep reseting wifi all the time.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] azmi2003:
It seems that our ics version of tab is quite picky on the type of wifi router that it would connect. my temporary workaround is to have the wifi channel at the router fix to 1 channel instead of auto..my router is set to 1, seems to solve the wifi problem..you guys should try it..

Dude, problem in bried: device will remove some regions from an specific sqlite file from device in some conditions such as rebooting, network switch and blah blah , so your device fail to find any WiFi, The installed application will put them again in mentioned sqlite file.

a little annoying, but better than no wifi!

I've flash my gt-p6200 to ics Austria for a week plus already and I'm from Malaysia, so far mine everything works fine including the wifi no issue at all, I upgrade my device with Odin and after finish flashing I reset my device to factory settings twice before I use it.

Only one issue I encountered so far, it's Google Talk, when I turn the wifi on, my Google Talk will be disconnected and the message displayed 'connection interrupted - status update is temporary unavailable.', but when I sent the text chat to a friend, it get through, it's only that everyone see me offline and when I turn off the wifi, Google Talk immediately online back, don't really sure is it the ics problem or is it the Google Talk apps problem. Other than that everything works fine with wifi on.

P6200l wifi working with P6200XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO_Austria_Android_4.0.4

I flashed using P6200XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO_Austria_Android_4.0.4 and flashed the modem using the original modem rom.

Wiped cache and deleted all user info.

At first the Wifi worked, and then stopped after I went into reset when the Tab reapplied Korea CSC for some reason.

Reapplying the modem rom fixed it. Seems you have to avoid reentering reset mode.

Originally Thai version of p6200l. Rooted and now apparently working for now inluding phone with correct baseband (850) for Thailand.

This solution does not appear to work using the Brazilian p6200l ics rom from samfirmware.
