Thanks for the rply dude.

I am gonna use an Indian Sim in it :laugh:

My question was

As there are two version AT&T and T-Mobile

Which of the one is better suited for indian networks.

But as they are unlocked maybe that dosent matter.

Thanks for clearing that up

Cheers:good:

Nexus 7 with a cracked screen

So I bought my N7 from tradus in November for Rs.16030. Day before yesterday it slipped from my hands and the screen cracked and it's not usable anymore. I backed up everything and flashed stock firmware and kernel and also locked the bootloader through adb. Now I'm planning to take it to Asus Service Center in my city and hope they accept it and repair it..

Anybody had any experience repairing an imported Nexus 7 in India or any country where it isn't available through Asus? Also any idea about price for screen repair?

I read on the internet that Asus did release Nexus 7 in India for 20k so I guess they should fix it, wish me luck!
[Nexus 7 General] admin856:
Anyways they are not going to repair under warranty so even if it were flashed they shouldn't have problem. But I guess they are gonna charge a bomb for this.

Did you try Ebay or local repair shops?

Get a quote at least.
[Nexus 7 General] XxNiKxX:
Ebay doesn't have a Nexus 7 under 19k even, let alone its parts! And local repair shops won't even know about this tablet! And according to Google getting a replacement screen individually is very hard and expensive, even in the US. So my best bet will be Asus,I'm guessing they will charge over 5-6k for this if they are ready to fix it :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] admin856:
Good luck then

There is no chance to release LG nexus 5 in India. Because LG wants to set high price for Nexus 4 in India. But there is high possibility to release Motorola x which is going to sale through play store after Google I/O on may 15. Although Motorola withdraw their direct cell distribution from India, but their after sale service still exist in India.And we can hope that like Asus there should not be any problem to set price tag for Motorola x in India.

Or should i go for asus RMA ,will they replace battery ? I doubt they will replace my battery. Please help.
[Nexus 7 General] #define:
Yes they should replace your battery.. But if you wanna give it a shot yourself before sending it back, you may try to pop open the back, and disconnect and reconnect the battery.. But remember, if you give it back AFTER trying it manually, you do NOT mention it to them, otherwise they'll refuse your warranty..

Received my Nexus 7 Yesterday!

After almost a month I received my nexus 7, I ordered it from indiatimes on 13th August!

I've known that $25 credit and the movies, books, music will not be available in India so I did a workaround and got everything! :)

I am in love with my device already! Check my screenshot!
[Nexus 7 General] wr8_utd:
Could you PM me details of how you did that?
[Nexus 7 General] Lost Monk:
Please let us also know the method to activate this 25$ credit & other content in India.

Please post on this thread itself or direct to any existing thread if available.

Thanks in advance ! :)
[Nexus 7 General] dexter10478:
$25 credit in india

Here is what worked for me for $25 credit.

No factory reset required. If you have already setup one, then you will need to add another gmail account and its only in this account that you will get the $25 credit. You will also need to enter your credit card details. Indian Virtual Verified By Visa card worked just fine for me.

1.Go to settings.Under Wireless and Networks click more.

2.Click on VPN, Add VPN. Now if already not set, then Nexus 7 will ask you to define security (Pattern,Password,PIN), Define whatever you want.

3.Click again Add VPN, and enter this definitions:

Name: SuperFreeVPN

Server address: superfreevpn.com

and click save.

4.Now click on SuperFreeVPN,for username enter:free, and for password go to website superfreevpn.com and look for VPN Password which changes everyday.

5.Click Connect. If connected successfully you will see key icon in notifications.

6.Go to Settings, under Accounts click Add Account and choose Google. Enter a new gmail username and password, if everything is OK you will get to screen that will ask you to enter credit card to Google wallet to receive 25$ credit.

7.While you using VPN you can download Google Books, Google Magazines, Google Movies.

While not using VPN, Books, Magazines and Movies apps disappeared but $25 was still there and app purchased with this credit remain even without VPN and for other accounts as well. This is what mattered to me most, I am not bothered about Bourne book and Transformer movies. Make sure you switch the proper account in Play Store before initiating any app/game purchase.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexus_Munky:
Can Anyone Please Tell About Their Experience Of Ordering From Indiatimes..Do We Get The Standard US Charger Or The Standard Three Pin Indian Charger...And Will There Be Any Warranty..??...And Please Tell About Its Scope In India...

Get $25 credit on your Nexus 7 outside United States

Well I have not used super VPN as mentioned in the post above dexter. I did following to get the $25 credit plus Google Movies, Music, Wallet, Books and Magzines too

1. Download Spotflux and install it. (a Free and best VPN solution)

2. Download Connectify and install it.

3. Share Spotflux connection using Connectify

4. Rest your Nexus 7 tablet

5. Connect using the newly created WiFi hotspot

6. Just proceed with the steps. After completion you will receive $25 credit :laugh:

All these steps in detail and with screenshots are also available on my blog post http://www.abtevrythng.com/2012/09/how-to-get-25-credit-in-play-store-with.html

Just got burned with a defective product from Asus

.I ordered it from Axiom telecom in Dubai to Qatar for AED1300..and I stay in qatar so shipping 105 extra..

They were fast in delivering my N7 . I got it the second day.

but am not that fortunate as I got a defective product..the tab won't even turn on. Anyway I contacted them and they said they will replace the product (they can't check a new product, whether its defective or not, as it is sealed)..now I have to ship them back, today..hope to get a good product..

is there any update on when it is going to be released in india???

Got my N7 8GB delivered couple of days back from IndiaTimes.

This bad boy offers most awesome Google experience ever ! I am thoroughly happy with the purchase.

Device is sleek, portable & a best companion, no matter if you are a student or professional.

Delivery had some delay but N7 has no h/w or s/w problem so far.

Having said that, can anybody suggest me good accessories to order in India ?

One of My Colleague is in US & coming back next week. Shall I ask him to but it from US for me or wait for India release??
[Nexus 7 General] Lost Monk:
No word on India release yet. Maybe they will launch it in all together new model with 3G, maybe. If you can wait for couple of month then hold on, otherwise just get your buddy to pack for you. Also you will get it cheaper @199$ i.e 11K. We had to pay 15K to IndiaTimes.... ;)
[Nexus 7 General] suk.sar:
Awesome... I will ask him to get 8GB if possible (otherwise 16GB) as most of the shop like gamespot or Wallmart selling only 16GB at $250.

Thanks again for advice!

It will be helpful if somebody guide how to check the Nexus 7 during store pick-up so that dead pixel & screen lifting issue can be identified if any.

So it was supposed to be a September/October launch and now it's November? I'm glad I ordered mine from the US. It'll keep getting delayed here. And why will we get a Nexus 7 with different specs here? It'll probably be like the HTC One S where the version we got was one of a far inferior processor compared to the international version.

are these a different models of this tablet?????

and how to identify it?????
[Nexus 7 General] spacenbeyond:
I ordered mine from the US (adorama.com) got it in 4 days!!. (UPS shipping)

So that has to be better than the "20 days shipping" of sites like grabmore and indiatimes.

16 GB - 250$

UPS - 60$

Customs - Rs 1910

Total around Rs 19250 :good:

Oh and also they ship worldwide and if you want even faster shipping they have fedex which obviously charges more.

I dont think there is any other better offer available in india. :cowboy:

If there is please do tell.. My friend loved the nexus 7 and is planning to buy one.
[Nexus 7 General] sacthegreat:
That sounds cool! But how did u pay for the customs? Did the seller only take care of that? Or did u have to pay it separately and where?

Current devices:

Galaxy Nexus

Nexus S

Nexus 7

Asus Transformer Infinity
[Nexus 7 General] Dragooon123:
You give customs fees to UPS, either when the postman delivers the package or if you go to pick it up at their office.

EDIT: Oh and never get the shipping from USPS, they hand over the package to Indian post and customs who can screw with you for weeks. Generally get from UPS, FedEx or other private couriers which have their own custom clearance.
[Nexus 7 General] saif123a:
Well to every one..don't get deceived by the launch dates..if you get an opportunity to buy this beast just buy it because if your thinking that it will cost you 11grands in India then forget it here the price will be much higher and there is no confirmation from google about the launch dates...so buy it because it's worth buying go for the 16 gb..and also for all your xtra data n stuffs der is an app in the market from chainfire which can solve your problem after installing which you can directly mount the usb pendrive into it...
[Nexus 7 General] vipul12389mehta:

[Nexus 7 General] spacenbeyond:
The courier service will take care of that.. Just make sure its UPS or FedEx.. n they might call you when it reaches India to ask whether you want them to clear it from customs.. Its better if you call them than waiting for their call as soon as it reaches India..

You have to pay the customs only when the product reaches you..

Already got a US version and already gave it to ASUS here for repairs and got a new display free of charge.
[Nexus 7 General] eddy4823:
Where did you give it for repair ? Which City ? I called ASUS India and they denied warranty.
[Nexus 7 General] prateek7791:
did they ask for the bill..?
[Nexus 7 General] wr8_utd:
I'm in Mumbai. I gave it for repairs at the Asus service centre at Lamington Road. They most definitely honour international warranty!

Naa they didn't ask for the bill. I said I bought it from an online store. They just take a look at your serial number on the box and call someone and look it up that it's still under warranty. My device was rooted as well and they're still putting the new display and giving it to me on Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] Lost Monk:
I ordered from IndiaTimes a month ago. It was the best deal by that time. I got it for 14800k with HDFC EMI options !!

It just that the delivery took time like almost 23-24 days. Tablet is flawless, I have not encountered any issue uptill now.

I am also not yet able to redeem that 25$ credit, I am having some firewall issue at my own end.

If you are going to order, do it soon because I heard the free 25$ Play credit offer will end by 30th September.
