I had ordered from this seller too. He is nice and responsive but yeah bciz of stupid dhl and bluedart I am yet to get it after 15 days. I told him not to use that worthless courier anymore else no one will buy from him
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
Why dont you just go and pick it up from them at their office?
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
they delivered it finally...but I am not gonna do any purchase if any seller uses bluedart...the most pathetic courier ever !!
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
Happy with the screen Man?
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
screen is definately gr8 compared to tab 2..but the seller sent me a 16GB model by mistake, I called him up and he says he is willing to replace it with 32GB but that will take another 1-2 week or I can keep the 16GB and he will refund me which will make it for just Rs 15000/- ... any suggestion what should I do ...

and its downloading 4.2 now automatically
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
how much you paid for 32GB ?
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
19.5 after discount
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
16GB is too less...u can't use OTG all the time Man
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
I had made up my mind now and asked for refund 16 gb for 15k is a good deal I think and am not gonna hold a lot if music and vids in it I have my phone for that.. Just many pdfs and some vids music and games

It has 13.6gb of free which should be okay I guess for me now layer maybe I can get the Nexus 10 but I don't wanna go through the pain of waiting etc

And Btw its ge8 tablet no compare with tab 2 both in terms of screen and software.. 4.2 working good for me so far
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
Well i have more than 15-16 Gb of Videos so for me 16 was quit Less...Anyway yes..in the end it will depend on your Usage...You could always wirelessly Stream Videos off your phone..Or use OTG.If you are happyy with the 16Gb Model then Its Great Man.Good Deal..Still Much cheaper than the Indian Model.But Send an E-mail regarding the Mix up to ebay just in case.
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
Guys can hard disk (500gb) be run through OTG or through OTG w/ power source
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
You may need to power of externally
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
What does that exactly means.I have a WD elements 500 GB hardisk (USB).I was going through the other threads and found this one :

Micro USB OTG w/power source

Also what needs to be powered ? Nexus 7 or Hard disk ?
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
No...that's not what u need....try getting a self powered USB hub...or if your HDD connects through the computer via a Single USB port.. not 2 then that can directly work ...however a self powered USB would be preferred
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
Hey which app to use on unrooted n7 to mount USB devices
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
Nexus Media importer....its a paid app
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
And which one works on rooted
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
Stickmount... its free....if you get time then check out a game I made...on play store search for ATH3NA.... there will be a tic tac toe game
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
Its nice but if u optimize it for tablet then it will look nice

And yeah 4.2 is working perfect for me. What issue u faced on it
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
Yes my HDD has a single cable with a micro USB port that goes into hard drive and a USB port that goes into computer.Can i use such a hard drive ? or i need something extra ?
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
what optimizations you had in Mind?

as for 4.2: At that time stickmount did not work...i use equalizer...it did not work...well it never worked on any stock Rom so i shifted to paranoid...i got a few random reboots.and i hate that 0 directory structure

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

you will need an OTG Cable ofcourse.

But i will also recommend getting something like this:

http://shopping.rediff.com/product/7-port-usb-2-0-high-speed-hub-with-ac-adapter/10237960

try to get a branded one.
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
okay guys, seems like nexus 7 is on high demand and in indeed a cool 7 incher, some of my frnds want to buy it now :) can anyone suggest any other reliable and faster option other than ebay ?
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
Already gave you my seller
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
but that ebay seller has out of stock
[Nexus 7 General] chiggy2212:
Can i use tata photon+ or any other dongle with N7 via USB OTG cable?
[Nexus 7 General] abhishek_turbo911:
To everyone who've bought their Nexus 7 which is imported. What about the warranty? Is ASUS providing warranty on devices that were bought after it was officially released in India?

Also is reading PDFs on Nexus 7 a pain?

If we keep the tab in PORTRAIT mode, and at a zoom level at which the PDF fits exactly the width of the tab, is it the text readable?

If not, do we have a lot to scroll, left and right?
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
Will this work :

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Zebronics-Ze...Domain_203&hash=item2a1741d802#ht_6346wt_1066
[Nexus 7 General] prudviraj:
YES you can..

yes you can.. get an OTG cable on ebay.. download the app named "PPP" from the google store and follow instructions #777 then user name and password etc.. hit connect.. bam..you will get it to work..

working fine on Reliance Netconnect plus

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

buddy, nexus 7 cannot power a usb hard drive.. so if your hard disk has power input port.. go hook it to external power and then connect.. and your nexus 7 will definitely read it..
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
That Should Work..but is it wise to have one with so many wires?If you are comfortable with it then cool...else try looking for a belkin one.
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Anyone getting nexus 4 ? Thinking to buy it too bt Damn its out of stock,lots of demand.
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
I for one would not trust LG as far as i can throw them.
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
lol why so ?
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
Guys, N7 is absolutely amazing, specially reading magazines and books, of course movies as well, I can watch full blueray movies 1080P without any hick which is great :) its definately the best 7 incher so far and 4.2 update is playing fine for me too

and yeah I got a colleague of mine comming from US next week so am getting 32gb Model...which means I will have a 16GB one spare which I can sell off..pls let me know any Pune guys here interested, pls PM me
[Nexus 7 General] wr8_utd:
Where do you get your magazines and what do you read it in? A normal pdf viewer?
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
ezpdf or adobe reader both works well with sharp texts
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Guys i am in trouble now, my friend said even his sister is coming india with lots of devices & electronics stuff, so tell me will she face any problem after landing airport in india ? if yes then what remedy should i tell her to avoid it ? as i have no idea about it,i told him to keep device in hand but he said she will be already with her devices ,today i was about to ship nexus 7 to her address but my frnd said he needs to talk again with her sis since she also coming lots of stuff & may decline to ship it with her...plz help plz plz plz
[Nexus 7 General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:

[Nexus 7 General] suk.sar:
Can somebody pl confirm if new Firmware of Huawei E1731 (E173-Bu 1) is working fine?
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
wow really ? will it work with box ? Can anyone tell me exact limits on tab & phone ?
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
You could always get it imported by the friend's sister and pay the custom duty..will still be cheaper.
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Means suppose she comes with 2 Tabs without box + 2 cellphone without box [1 her own +1 my new nexus 4] + 1 camera [new]= no cost ??

Charges will occur only if limit exceeds right described by customs?

Also tell me about box thing ? if i am in limited stuff which i mentioned above then even tab & phone with box will NOT be chargeble?

badly confused
[Nexus 7 General] coolredwine:
From what I know, a person traveling from an international location can carry two/three devices with him (not sure, but something like that). Else, if that person has many devices, the total cost of all the devices shall be calculated, and the person will be exempted for the price of 2 devices from that. On the remaining amount custom duty will be charged.

Okay, so people in India with a Nexus 7. Can someone point me towards a good quality screen guard and a good/chic cover for my Nexus 7. I have just got mine a couple of days back (got it through a friend coming back from the UK :cool:) and am looking for covers and guard for it, and I am not able to find a good one.
[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
The best guide...

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

If & if only you are asked to open bags it doesnt matter wether new products are boxed or not. They will ask you to start them. Even if you have 3 phones that are being used then it doesnt matter.

Also duty applicable will be on the price in India & not the price you bought at.

Thanks

Mihir
[Nexus 7 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Means if something goes beyond limit described by indian custom laws then it will be chargeble fo customs otherwise not ??

& custom will get charged only on that EXTRA product/device..other device gets exemption am i right ??

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

Thanks for the link but i dint understnad your reply about box !!!
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
dude, u r just getting paranoid with these stuffs...stop thinking and just remember N7 when imported is always cheap even after paying customs so go ahead and ask who so ever is bringing it for u
[Nexus 7 General] coolredwine:
Yes. For example, if you are getting 2 devices, then both are exempt from customs. But if you get 3 or more, the prices of 2 devices will be deducted from the overall value, and then the customs duty will be charged.
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
Finally i decided to buy from ebay.in with some feedback from saj2001ind and after having conversation with the ebay seller martjunction.

Purchased N7 32GB wifi + 3G from martjunction :D .It will come after some 20 days (time extension request) :(
[Nexus 7 General] sahshah:
Hey guys I will be travelling to India for a month, just wanted to confirm from you guys whether google play works in India?
[Nexus 7 General] Droidlover123:
Yes Google play works.but you can not use some services like you can not purchase devices here and can not use Google music stream service.
[Nexus 7 General] manasgirdhar:
We CAN purchase apps and games in India.
[Nexus 7 General] Droidlover123:
Sorry i forgot to mention that we can't purchase devices.:p

I have edited the post...:)
[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
Congrats !!

I ordered mine from Cart2India on 14th Nov. It got uplifted yesterday showing that it will reach India by 5 Dec.

Most of the ebay sellers should have a similar time line.

Hey guys.. I wanna have an N7 shipped to India from the US.. Not someone bringing it, but having it shipped.. Ahmedabad, Gujarat, to be specific.. Can someone recommend anything?? I just need the device to reach to me safe and sound.. Warranty isnt necessary..

Any store or site that offers safe international shipping??

Thanks..

[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
why dont u check fedex and dhl
[Nexus 7 General] #define:
I am gonna... But just in case they refuse, since its a brand new boxed electronic item, i would be glad if i had some options..

Also, where can i find this??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHTlshddlng
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
and why will they refuse...most seller choose dhl or fedex to get these stuffs to india. just talk to them
[Nexus 7 General] #define:
OK.. thanx.. the reason why i was asking, is because i've had 2 first hand experiences of receiving damaged goods with bluedart.. ofcourse, dhl and fedex arent the same as bluedart, but after those "bad memories"(:P) i've become a little over-cautious.. And i've asked some friends who have relatives abroad, and all of them recommend not having electronics shipped to india... So i wanted to find someone who's had successful deliveries to india.. of electronics.. I'm gonna talk to dhl and fedex both tho.. Thanx very much for the instant replies..

Also, where can i find the bluetooth keyboard case from the youtube link of my post?? shippable to india, ofcourse..

Just got update 4.2.1 :beer:
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
Did u do any cache data clean? I didn't get it so far

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

OK I got it now have to clear data from Google framework
[Nexus 7 General] balus3u:
dhl and bluedart are in partnership.dhl is for international shipping and Bluedart for national level shipping. so finally it's the same.

................

no luck over 4.2.1, even after clearing the cache of framework. :(
[Nexus 7 General] chiggy2212:
I got 4.2.1 OTA..my device had been shipped with 4.1.2 ..after updating to 4.2 it again chkd fr update after first boot n got 4.2.1!!
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
you are right and with my experience they are pathetic and delays a lot...better to use fedex if there is a choice
[Nexus 7 General] mammenj:
No, no cache cleaned.
[Nexus 7 General] jaleelchennai:
I m also ordered from cart2India at Nov 15, now I got mail nexus7 will delivers on or before Dec.28.
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
It seems the delivery time also depends on which model we order , the normal WiFi only is easily available but WiFi +3g takes time
[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
I have ordered 32 GB Wifi +3g.

I think they put a new listing on 15th with a higher price. Not too sure.

Also DHL bought blue dart some years back.... They are quite integrated.

I am into Air cargo Industry...not courier. generally DHL has a bad name.

UPS is the best from USA. They also never cancel their freighter coming into India.

Thanks

Mihir
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
That's great !!

I also thought of ordering from cart2india,but when i was going to order they ended their lisiting.Also,cart2india is selling N7 3g for 1.5K more than martjunction.

Now my N7 hopeful delivery is 20th december.....
[Nexus 7 General] vulpine:
Guys,

I think it's launched in India at 19k. Is it true? If yes, it's almost double the price in US which is ridiculous.

I think its better to buy from grey market on ebay if you can.

Afsos ki baath hain!!
[Nexus 7 General] #define:
Ya..in india the 8gb model is available for close to 17k... n in usa its 200$.. so about 12k rupees.. for 16gb model!!

Same thng happened with nexus 4 also.. almst double price and lower model(spacewise)
[Nexus 7 General] jaleelchennai:
Ordered WiFi model only 16gb.
[Nexus 7 General] shantanubarik:
Is this product have international warranty! I mean item purchased from cart2india. i am asking because my s2 purchased from them was defective. this time imported fromusa.
[Nexus 7 General] coolredwine:
Are both of them good?

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

I don't think the 8GB model is available in India. The 16GB one is available for 20K, and is being sold by ASUS.
[Nexus 7 General] rajhot:
Yes the case is good rotation is working fine for me.

Regarding guard its ok if you want you can try any 7" guard for that matter
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
anyone from Pune looking for 16GB model...pls let me know
[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
You have to remember that in USA Google is selling the product.

In India it is being sold by Asus/Croma

When google is selling the Nexus 7 their goal is increase users on & to earn revenue from Play Store. Similar to what Sony did for Play Station.

Amazon also has a similar model.

Afsos ki baath yeh hain that people are not willing to launch online content in India. Difficulty in getting permission from government is secondary.

Also when you use Global buy platform on ebay it is not a grey market you are buying from. You are importing something officially as you are not evading the duty. In any case duty is not applicable for items below 25000
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
you are right but Google also seems to be a culprit here, how come they are not launching play store device purchase in Singapore ? that being one of the buzzing south eart asian countries with no govt issues etc
[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
That is what I said. They are not willing to launch in SEA. Japan & Korea being exception
[Nexus 7 General] saj2001ind:
okay guys anyone need a 16GB model ? I am getting a 32GB from a colleague this weekend so will have the 16GB bought just few days back as spare

there s no 8gb n7 for 200$ even in US currently they are selling 16GB models for 200$ so indian price is double :P

[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
I got my nexus 7 32 3G today morning. I had ordered it from cart2India

On 16th Nov.

I use unlimited MTNL 3G plan. I have found the nexus to have pretty good network in most places.

On my iPad 2 I got 3g speeds of 1.8-2.2 Mbps

Out of the couple of speed tests I did today on Nexus I got an average 1.8 Mbps

MTNL does not have HSPA + so their speeds are limited.

Settings can be found on website of carrier.
[Nexus 7 General] shrewdgeek:
Nice.....i am still waiting for N7 3G - I ordered from martjunction on 27th novemeber......still some 13 days left......i am counting them down....can't wait now.....

How much is the MTNL unlimited plan cost ?
[Nexus 7 General] ywnmmsb:
I am currently on Rs 4500 for 6 months plan. I have heard the plan is now discontinued.

Unfortunately 5 Dec my plan expires.

Now the only one I see is 2500 for 2 months.

Little expensive but then there doesnt seem to be any other option in Mumbai.

Today I tried to download a file via bit client beta & it gave me speeds of 100 KBps...

Fantastic device. More suitable to my use compared to ipad 2 I used since launch.Only issue is screen compared to ipad 2 which still seems better.
[Nexus 7 General] vipul12389mehta:
Well can anyone list the sites from where the N7 should be bought ?? any trustworthy site...

i want n7 from a trustworthy site with as cheap as possible...

coz, as of now n7 costs 20k in croma.. which is damm high..!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Artuno:
Dude there is no other go, nexus 7 3g model costs around 22k but the WiFi only 16 gb model comes around 17k on indiatimes, I bought mine from there for 16k using some sort of coupon. The high price is coz of service duty from Indian customs. You can evade them if product is below 10k but as you know they consider the Indian price of the product so don't worry buy it coz it's worth ur money
