Im planning to buy this device, 32gb wifi only, where can i buy this here in PH? I want complete warranty, cheaper if possible. Im planning to migrate my multimedia needs to a portable tablet, what can you say about gaming? I know its good because of tegra 3, but what about compatibility with most of the games? Battery? Wifi speed? I also heard medyo prone to scratch yung screen, how true is it? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
pede sir sa dead space. you need to create your profile^^
[Nexus 7 General] bjo12:
naisip ko din gawan ng profile sir kaso tinatamad pa ko.. hehe.. baka meron ka pashare na lang po.. :D

Gaming

Hi Everyone :) just got mine last dec 26 right after Christmas xD spent all my pamasko to get it.. tho one thing that i regret getting it was that i thought games would run smoother with the tegra 3? i played Wild Blood, NFS MW, Nova 3 and i can see that it only runs @ 30fps and has massive Frame drops...i have already rooted mine and oc'ed to around 1.5 ghz to see only additional 5 fps :( im using the SmoothROM from the development section.
[Nexus 7 General] _azeroth_:
any feedback guys? please?
[Nexus 7 General] hoboy:
I think they're selling this over at automatic center in the re-opened Glorietta area. As for gaming and compatibility, it's great :) been playing shadowgun deadzone for quite a while, and I haven't experienced any lags yet (except network related lags). All apps I've tried to install some far were compatible and we're installed without issue.
[Nexus 7 General] _azeroth_:
thanks, one last question though, how about the corning glass screen is it as good as gorilla glass? that my last concern then im sold.
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
no sir. corning is different from gorilla. n7 has a weak corning glass. scratch proof lng cya..
[Nexus 7 General] _azeroth_:
sad to hear, btw im still to make a decision, if u still see me in this forum.. alam na:)
[Nexus 7 General] bjo12:
for multimedia and gaming, I can say N7 really delivers.. somehow may lag sa high end games but there's a fix/patch/apk released called seeder (credits to the dev, forgot his name). It fixes the lag based on the description, I have installed it but haven't tested it yet. About scratches since its corning its scratch proof if yung makakascratch is less ang hardness(there's a vid in youtube explaining about glass displays). Pero sakin since wala pa namang scratch ( I don't have any screen protector installed ) I can say ok naman xa.. :D

Battery since lageng nakaon ang wifi medyo kinukulang. Compatibility with most games, yung iba pedeng isideload para gumana.

Anyway its still up to you sir qng what gusto mo pero sakin ok na ok talaga xa.. :D:p
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
got no issues with gaming. currently running on cm10.1 with motley 244. wala naman lag issue. everything is working good. got a lot of tegra games installed. wala pa nmn aku napasin na nag lag or nag crash. thats with or without sixaxis.

for the battery. got my handy dandy portable charger pag nasa labas aku. pag andito sa bahay nakasindi din mag hapon ang wifi so di tumatagal din ung batt. once it hits 20%. i turn it off and charge it again.

got a screen protector pang ipad. pinatabas ko lol.i got a good casing din so safe ung device..

Hi, Guys.

Anyone experiencing the washed-out look in your N7? :(

Any idea on how to fix this with the least priority of returning it back to replacement.

Thanks!

First post ko mga brader :D . Just wanna ask, is there a way to exclude a specific directory on stock gallery? I am asking kasi I want to integrate it with a widget.
[Nexus 7 General] alfiemenace:
Add a new file to that directory named .nomedia then reboot :)

Stock ROM, custom user.
[Nexus 7 General] ramordep:
Thanks, will try that.
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
Will do. Thanks!

Also, guys, anyone knows how to force WCDMA only connection? Looking back from Samsung phones, you can opt to use WCDMA connection only to force your phone to use 3G only. Now, I can't find it in the Mobile Network settings.

:(

*#*#4646#*#*

On the phone app.

Or download something from the market, I think its "phone information" or phone statistics

Raw android, cm, aoko, and aosp doesn't have those in settings
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
Used Talkatone and it doesn't seem to be working. I think I shouldn't be seeing even the last asterisk as it will go to the Phone Information already. :(

Mga brother anong rom and kernel ang gamit nyo? Had trouble with stock rom unlocked rooted and with francos kernel. Iniiwanan ko while dwnloading s utorrent. Namamatay syang mag isa kahit di naman lowbat. Kaya flash ako ulit ng stock kernel. Pero didnt had a chance tovtest it pa.
[Nexus 7 General] Flash05:
there is one app that syncs and allows you to do so... i;ll post it as soon as i remembers it... i think i tried it already but cant remember.

[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
Download from the market bro. May instaclick sa market to go there

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

Ewan ko guys I'm on stock for quite some time now wala naman problema, nakakatamad pag may update sabay unstable yung rom.

Kernel-wise just use either franco or faux, whichever works better for you. Stock parin ako wala naman issues in general.

If you're using 3g variant try niyo maghanap ng. Apk ng phone at messages galing sa aosp repo or git kung meron then use that. Beat bet is from nexus4
[Nexus 7 General] ramordep:
Should my recipient be in viber as well?
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
yes sir..thou installing viber directly from playstore will say that your device is not compatible with it. better download it from other reliable source and install manually on your device.

this is the viber version that im using:

http://db.tt/rDhdevMY

im pretty sure this is not the latest version but it works like a charm on my n7^^

INS:

install viber on your device

register your phone number(you will receive an sms within a minute)

enter the code on you viber app(set your avatar and nick)

search your friend using his/her phone number for accurate search(must be viber user too)

my maximum talk time with viber is 3hours without any cut off(device plugged in). the sound quality depends on your internet connection.
[Nexus 7 General] ramordep:
Problem is the recipient is a non-viber/whatsapp user :(
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
installing viber wont take that long^^
[Nexus 7 General] Flash05:
nope this isnt the one im using. something txt/sms ata...

im not the one who's using the tablet, gave it to my wife. i installed it and let her use that app so no need to carry the other phone...
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
hindi din whatsapp messenger?
[Nexus 7 General] bjo12:

New nexus 7 user here from manila.

Using batch caoxxxx

OK lahat except for screen flicker. Is this a hardware or software issue?

And kapag pinabayaan koba it will get worse?

A bit frustrated I thought wala na sa new models hung flicker issue.
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
i belive its a hardware issue but you can try this:

go to wifi settings and remove the check mark under wifi optimization. there are some users saying that this solves the flickering issue..
[Nexus 7 General] Flash05:
yes not whatsapp messenger. i forgot to check last night.. :( i'll try to check it later.
[Nexus 7 General] ramordep:
I can't get it to work on my N7 wifi :(
[Nexus 7 General] bjo12:
if you have titanium backup file of sms pro from another android device, try to copy your back up file and paste it in your n7.. that's what I did mostly to my messaging apps i.e. viber, whatsapp.. no need to install just restore.. ;)

2-day old N7 user here haha. After falling in love with the N4 I figured why not try the N7 - when I got to play with it, my iPad 2 got relegated to home use :laugh:.

Got mine at Gamextreme, Glorietta 3 for Php12,450

BTW, where can I buy accessories (cases, sleeves, etc.) for the N7? And is the ASUS N7 dock already available here? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
Gizmoshield look it up on facebook! Good service and good produce for cases
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
dock is not available locally yet but you can always check amozon and other websites for them to ship it here.

Guys,

Any news on how to bring up Phone Information on the Nexus 7? Need to force <b>WCDMA only</b>. :(

Also, is there anyone here that can utilize Google Music? Seems VPN is no longer enough. They are asking for CC info to additionally verify my location. :(
[Nexus 7 General] koala8819:
Hi, nice price of N7 there. Is that the 32gb version? Thanks. Here in Bacolod it costs around Php 15,000
[Nexus 7 General] aybee23:
Yup, 32gb version. Gamextreme ships items nationwide, not too sure how much are the shipping costs though. You can look them up at sulit - sorry can't give you a link, newbie restrictions haha. It even got cheaper, just looked it up now and they are offering it at 12,300 cash.

Anyone trying any of the custom roms and kernels? I am using stock rom and M-Kernel at the moment using stock settings and it flies.xD

[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
Ok naman na siya as stock. But if I would custom rom this thing again it would be PA when its on final releases :D

As for the kernel its always dependent on your needs.
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
nothing beats stock kaya lang it has a limited features and capabilities reason why i got CM10.1 with motley kernel on my device
[Nexus 7 General] jobo1277:
Good day,

I've been itching to get this for a couple of days now specially how affordable it is, 12k for a 32gig wifi. Unfortunately, it was out of stock then. Earlier, i was told that it is already available...

I was hoping to ask you guys something before going through with the purchase.

1. I've been reading back and i saw a couple of issues you guys had, (lift screen, ghosting, dead pixels, etc) are they still prevalent in the current batches? someone mention c80 batches were ok? how do i know which batch do they have in stock.

2. Are the units currently available in the market are asus recognized units in terms of warranty?

3. Does Nexus 7 have a diagnostic feature similar to samsung's *#0*# to check for dead pixels?

TIA. I would appreciate your inputs and guidance in this
[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
1. There is no perfect batch.

2. They all should be honored if you got it sealed since they all were purchased from google play.

3. I don't know but there is always the app "pixel fixer" to check on it.

Buying one now is alright since the price is still freaking low compared to other brands of the same caliber.
[Nexus 7 General] cub0ne:
i agree with walaway. you can always send it back to asus if there is an issue with the device..
[Nexus 7 General] kesongpinoy:
got mine last december, 32gb wifii, okay naman walang issue
[Nexus 7 General] tantado:
Hi all. Got mine straight from Google. Have not rooted it yet. I don't see any reason for it. Or maybe I'm just too chicken to break it.

xPhone

Hi,

About the WCDMA, this is so far my fix for it.

Not a permanent solution, it resets whenever i restart the device.

you may search for xPhone app in playstore.

Install and use it as a dialer.

type the usual code *#*#4636#*#*, press call button, you will be then in the Testing menu.

Go to Tablet info, and in the option Set preferred network type, just choose WCDMA only.

Exit and wait till the signal bar drops, it will return with 3G or H icon.

That's it. Now its locked in 3G/HSDPA.

Hope it helps. :)
[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
This is by far the best solution even on CM based roms.

Way eeasier to do things like this on manufacturer flavored devices
[Nexus 7 General] jobo1277:
On my way to hotgadgets right now. going to get mine now. i was told they have ca0 and cb0 batches. Are they ok?
[Nexus 7 General] Leonhan:
You will not break it, and even if you screw up, you can always reflash the stock rom and return back to normal.
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
It worked! Exactly what I'm looking for.

Im also planning to buy this one, i almost bought it earlier!!! Just makes me guilty coz i already bought a lot of stuffs today, as far as i know it is officially availble here, and i asked the salesperson earlier that if you buy from asus or their local partners, they will send it to asus for full warranty if there are defects. 13995 is the srp. Reasonable enough bec of warranty

Hi guys, i also have my nexus 7 3g here and unfortunately i have a famous issue with the nexus 7 (blown speakers) got it 2 weeks back from an online seller and i told her about the issue. She said that she will look into it. As of now i dont have speakers but headphones and blue tooth headsets work fine.

Main question is that are the asus service centers competent enough to repair this tablet? I'm living in cag de oro btw so most probably servicing the tablet might be done on ncr. Any thoughts about this?
