Mine's already on 4.2.2. Got the "nakasi" update through a download link last night. I haven't experienced bluetooth woes mainly coz I don't stream music through it, so an official change log is what we all need.
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
i have read some articles about the update. there are changes in bluetooth and they added a security feature when pluging your device into your computer(RSA). did not update my devices yet. im still enjoying my custom roms lol
[Nexus 7 General] Flash05:
already updated mine via sideload. works flawlessly! no lags or issues so far.
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
What's New?Things we've discovered so far, in brief:

-Play Store downloads now show time left to download.

-Long-pressing Wi-Fi and BT now toggles them in the notification Quick Settings.

-More secure ADB thanks to the new whitelist.

-BT bug fixes? Conflicting reports whether this is fixed - citation needed if anything's been done to it. Can you spot the right commits?

-Update #1: Play a tone when wireless charging begins (if below 95% battery). Use new low battery and wireless charging sounds on Mako. Here are the new sounds: WirelessChargingStarted.ogg and LowBattery.ogg.

Got the 4.2.2 update and so far so good. Google Now has it's own widget. Played Nba2k13... No lag so far.
[Nexus 7 General] Miso_Ramen:
Just noticed the Play Store timer while updating Google Search; a good thing to add. And the long-press toggling of Wi-Fi and BT is great!
[Nexus 7 General] dak3426047:
Wasup! I'm not as tech savvy as you lot so I guess I'll just wait for the official update. Any one want to bet on how long it is before it's made available locally!?
[Nexus 7 General] tugs0109:
Got the update this morning using the google service framework force stop then clear data. :) everything is good guys!
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
yah just clear your google service frame work cache..you really dont to force stop the frame work..just make sure you clear the cache>restart your device>connect it to a stable wifi connection> and check for software update.. you can also download the update manually and flash it..

Just curious which method did you use? I was going to setup a VPN but decided against it.
[Nexus 7 General] thephantom:
In the q&a section there's a post on a workaround for those outside of the US. It's thru superfreevpn. You do have to factory reset your tab to get it then if your vpn connection is successful, you'll be prompted to enter a cc and a US zip and number. After that, you get the 25usd

Hey guys! Great to see fellow n7 users here! Ordered mine the day after it went out on the play store. Got it here in the phil more than 2 weeks ago.

So far i'm very happy with mine. I'm not using my desktop, laptop and phone(except when texting) anymore =))

What's added on this CM10 that is not present on the stock JB rom?
[Nexus 7 General] Rycon33:
Built-in notification toggles, status bar mods, theme engine, to name a few. It's more eye-candy than stock JB. Performance-wise is more or less the same(except when coupled with a custom kernel).

[Nexus 7 General] thephantom:
You can never spend too much time on this. Hehehe
[Nexus 7 General] limehouse20:
Bad news, eventually my unit has a defective motherboard. Asus global warranty will shoulder the repair and parts, though ill have to wait for a couple of days kasi iorder pa yung parts sa taiwan/hongkong. Now im asking my seller for a replacement instead (bought mine on multiply), but they have to check it pa on their supplier. :(
[Nexus 7 General] thephantom:
That's too bad. Just weigh everything first. If it's better for you to get a replacement rather than have it repaired, go for it. You do run the risk of probably getting a defective unit although there's a chance of also getting a perfect one. With having it repaired, you can have them check everything else for peace of mind and go home happy but you know at the back of your head that the unit has been opened. See which works better for you
[Nexus 7 General] LOJ168:
Lol was surprised about that 3g version, but you can always turn your phone into a hotspot so no worries about losing out. By the way, I did that loosening thing also before trying to glue it. How much did you loosen it and which screws did you loosen?

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

If ASUS warranty covers it, have it fixed by ASUS :). I wouldn't bother with having the seller replace it because since grey market siya your after-sales support will always be less than stellar. I'm also considering having mine checked out, but since I have a lot of data inside already, I don't want to backup and factory reset it.

This question is for those who own the 3g version. Are you able to call and text smoothly? are you using postpaid or prepaid? are there any problems regarding 3g?
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
a friend of mine owns a 3g version and he can send sms and make calls "smoothly.." he is using both postpaid and a prepaid sim. palit palit lang..

making calls and sending sms depends on the application youre using. i dont have the name of the application since im using a wifi version but you can search it here in XDA..
[Nexus 7 General] akerocks:
ok, thanks a lot for the info.
[Nexus 7 General] GalaxyNexusPH:

[Nexus 7 General] nicoli26:
hehe, i'm still enjoying the stock ROM.. What's the best ROM for our nexus 7? And one quick question.. Custom ROM will help or worsen battery life of nexus7?
[Nexus 7 General] Leonhan:
That is very hard to answer, as custom roms were made for different people. It's best to try it for yourself. But if you want a snappy rom, try the prime rom or for customization, paranoidandroid. Also the AOKP roms are making a buzz lately, so you may want to try those too. As for custom kernels, I would suggest M-Kernel(the most customizable kernel atm) and motley kernel (for best battery, at least for me.xD). As for battery life, roms do have certain scripts, but it totally depends on how you use your device.

I don't know if I'm on the right thread but being a pinoy thread I think it won't hurt, I'm planning to buy this tablet but I'm really really torn between this nexus 7 or the ipad mini. I watched the YouTube reviews of both devices and found out that the ipad is smoother and better in gaming than the nexus 7. I just wanna ask for your opinion guys. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] ivan14:
^I dont see any noticeable lags in both tablets, however, if you are only going to use the tablet for gaming purposes then the ipad mini is better for you simply because the Apple appstore has more games than the Google play store. Also, the ipad's battery lasts longer compared to any android tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
If you like tinkering your device then go android.

If you just point click and use go apple
[Nexus 7 General] nicoli26:
I had iPad Mini, but I decided to switch to Nexus 7. iPad has many restrictions, unlike Android.. But I agree to them, iPad Mini performance is smoother than Nexus 7.. If you want modification, tweaks, less restriction, go for android.. But if you like classy tablet, go for iPad Mini..

Okay I finally bought my nexus 7 after a long time of choosing between this and ipad mini.

I have a few questions:

Where can I buy an OTG cable ? Does cdrking have them?

What app do I need to run it?

Can I use my 1TB hard drive on it?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
Try Gizmoshield. They have USB OTG for 100 only.

I don't think it can handle external hard drives. Not enough power. Usb sticks are ok though.
[Nexus 7 General] stitch01:
Thanks! Do I need to be rooted to use this?
[Nexus 7 General] _azeroth_:
Where can I buy an OTG cable ? Does cdrking have them? >> yes they have, 30 petot.

What app do I need to run it? >> nexus 7 media importer(search on google play, paid app though), no root needed.

Can I use my 1TB hard drive on it? >> yes, i use 1 tb WD external portable hard drive. no problem encountered.

hi guys, kamusta battery life? been thinking of buying the nexus 7 3g pero napapaisip ako kasi sa ibang threads, they say malayo yung battery life niya compared sa ipad mini e :(
[Nexus 7 General] ivan14:
Most definitely. Wifi browsing would last for only 6 hours. That will be a lot less if you are using 3g.
[Nexus 7 General] Miso_Ramen:
Best way I can describe it is this:

Battery life of...

Nexus 7: great

iPad Mini: excellent

Based on reviews, the iPad Mini's battery life lasts a few hours longer than the N7's, maybe two to three hours more. Although that is the case, I can still go through the day using my N7 (browsing, reading, occasional gaming and movie viewing) w/o fear of it running out of juice. The N7 lasts longer than most Android tablets so that's a definite plus.

Hi,

I just bought a nexus 7 a week and a half ago from a local online reseller. This morning (4am) i plugged the unit to it's original charger and at 10:30am the unit is warm. It's so warm that the cover of my ipad was also warm. Based on the battery bar on top, the unit is less than 50% charged.

My unit is a 32gb + wifi version and it's running android 4.2.2.

The online reseller did advise me to bring it to an asus service center to have it checked.

Is the unit defective, do i need to re-install 4.2.1 or do i need to install an app?

Any inputs or ideas from the group?

Thanks in advance.

im running 4.2.2 stock rom, and i did not encounter any heat issues(or maybe because im using a case) even on gaming a barely feel the heat of the device im using nilkin.
[Nexus 7 General] fumoffu22:
I've experienced that as well but the N7 charged to 100%. Well that one was an isolated incident I was thinking it's probably related to the quality of current that the charger is getting off the socket. Try charging off an AVR or a UPS for starters.

After installing Du Battery Saver on my Nexus 7; my charging and heating issues was solved.

However, my touch screen is intermittent or what they call it "scroll bug"; for me i call it "ghost touch". I did experience this a couple of times when i bought the unit. But this time it's more frequent since i received my Nexus 7. Is this a software or hardware issue?

Hi kabayan, anyone here tried the Nexus 7 cellular/3G version with Globe or Smart sim ? How's it ? Because as far as my research there's no option to force the device to use "WCDMA ONLY" and that it may fluctuate from gsm to wcdma, gsm is super slow.

Also does nexus 7 can turn on as wifi hotspot ? So can share your data plan to your other devices ?

I am considering the two feature before i purchase nexus 7.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
Hi.

This was my dilemma back then also. This interface is actually just hidden from N7 and usually we can access it by dialing a certain number in a dialer app (which N7 doesn't have also).

I am using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kei5rio.secretcode to launch this interface. You just need to click it and it would automatically bring up this interface. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] lee.n:
Thanks.. do we need to root the device for this to run?

How about wifi hotspot?

Does N7 consumes a lot battery when using 3g and turning on the wifi hotspot ?

I am actually using galaxy note 10.1 , but i am looking for a smaller tab for portability. I don't watch full movies on the tab. Does nexus 7 really feel small? I was able to get hold of tab 2 7" and i feel that the screen is small maybe because the icons are big as well as the text.

I usually do the following on a tablet

- browsing web/ facebook

- checking/ replying emails

- chatting (skype, whatsapps, wechat, magicjack)

- google apps (maps, earth, hangout, keeps, current, etc)

- youtube and music

- light games (candy crush, logo quiz, temple run)

Hoping for more input.

Thanks.!

Speaker Issue

Im a Nexus 7 3G user for almost 5 months now. No issues whatsoever until my speaker sound is busted. I'm thinking of sending it to Asus World ViraMall, but i don't want my Nexus to be out for weeks or a month. Any feedbacks about the Asus service in ViraMall?
[Nexus 7 General] thephantom:
Yes if you're only rooted and didn't modify any of the system files
[Nexus 7 General] lee.n:
I have LCD issue on my Asus transformer and I bring it to asus world vmall. They are very friend. You can bring it to asus world for diagnostic (what parts to replace), then just ask them to call you when the parts arrived so you can bring back the unit for parts replacements. You dont have to leave your tab with them for weeks. Maybe the most you can leave it for a day or two for diagnostic.
