Worked for me - in store 9am PST Sat. 7-27-13

I was on the fence to replace my aging rooted Android 4.2 HP Touchpad with new tech, just waiting for the right one. For the $199 price and awesome specs minus the SD slot and it being16gb model I was sold on the new Nexus 7. When I read the SD deals forum and noticed the $30 coupon I tried on the Staples website Friday night and no dice. So I check on Sat. morning and they showed it in stock for 16gb in my area. I jumped in the car and drove down the street and made it there by opening (9am). I was the first one to buy one they didn't even put then on the shelves yet. They were trying to get rid of the old ones first which were on sale for $199 with the discount! Makes sense.

I asked nicely if they had a 32gb in stock and they said only the 16gb models. They brought one out and I pulled out my $30 coupon that would not take. So the manager came out and read the coupon and it clearly stated all tablets not excluding the 2013 Nexus 7 on it anywhere. So he said ok and took it off. I thanked them paid and left.

I then updated and rooted it without issue. I leaned my apps down a bit and cut out some media and have plenty to spare. I am very very happy with my purchase. Didn't realize what I had been missing. Can't wait to get my Chromcast to do wireless HD video to my TV.

Thanks for all the great posts on the new 2013 Nexus 7 everyone! :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mrw1215:
Eh, I've been with them long enough that they wouldn't do that to me. Anyway, already got it resolved. The one guy just grabbed the empty box from our demo unit without realizing, so they just swapped that with an actual model for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Poser:
I walked into my local staples, presented the coupon, and walked out with a brand new Flo. They did have to manually discount, as the coupon code for "in-store" wasn't being recognized.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swagstr:
I think people should stop dissing Staples. Like somebody else said, it's at the discretion of the manager/supervisor/high school drop out you're working with. No need to flame the whole company just because one store wouldn't accept this TGTBT coupon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] eep2378:
My local Staples had one left. Picked up a 16gb and they did honor the coupon :) Again it depends on the supervisor/manager. Although the coupon does say ALL tablets.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DualSportDad:
Who all used the coupon today? Is it still valid today or yesterday was the last day to use it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] eep2378:
Today is the last day.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KRUSH101:
It's not just that Staples refused to accept the coupon. It is the poor treatment and disrespect from the managers when somebody attempted to use a coupon that should have legitimately worked. It did state ANY tablet.

In my local staples people who had the coupon were not allowed to purchase a nexus even if they would have at full price, all because they had the coupon in hand. I and a 3 others who tried to purchase them were asked to leave and none of us caused a fuss or raised our voice. Everybody was very respectful except for the staples staff.

I was later told over the phone I can't reserve the product as they are first come first serve and after driving 30min to get to the store I was told the last of their stock had just been reserved over the phone by a customer.

It is the disrespect that many people are angry at staples for, not necessarily that they were not allowed to use a legitimate coupon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
Who needs Staple's discount?

I order a 16GB from best buy and when picked it up from them yesterday. I took it home and opened it up and started using it I noticed that they gave me a 32GB instead. :D :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] openwheelracing:
Krush: The coupon excluded new N7 SKU. You need a manager to overwrite $30 off the purchase price. Simple as that. It take luck and communication skills to get that accomplished. How could you expect Staples employee to arbitrarily give you $30 off when they didn't have to? Especially with low stock.

Are you even a Premier Rewards member who received the coupon via email directly from Staples? If so you should have another coupon almost as good as $30 off.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] miou:
Same here, when I picked it in the store, they gave me a 32GB version:fingers-crossed:

But I told the cashier the truth....
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DualSportDad:
I have to take back all the mean stuff I said about staples.

I just went to return my tablet and a different manager was there. I told him I wanted to return the tablet since they wouldn't honor the coupon . he asked to see it and another employee that knew the situation came over and filled the manager in on our discussion about the coupon we had on Friday.

I told the manager that I had been told that corporate said staples wouldn't honor the coupons but I saw online everyone that ordered using the coupon had theirs shipped. I stated that I felt like I was getting the short end of the stick and if they didn't want honor the coupon that says "all tablets" then I wanted to return it.

The manager honored the coupon no problem and even had to over ride the system to get it to take the coupon. Very nice of them to do that for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] keijikage:
For everyone hating on staples, they are basically losing ~$20 on every tablet (if we assume their margin is comparable to best buy) for which this coupon was not supposed to work because the tablet was not supposed to be sold until the 30th.

If we were to guesstimate the number of sales based on the # of views on topics around the web, (114k on SD, 7K on FW), this could be quite a hefty sum.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DualSportDad:
Chump change compared to all the profits they'd make by keeping their customers happy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] michaelg1030:
Kinda of wishing I bought the 32gb. I currently have the 16gb. Which I got at staples using the $30 off. You think if I exchange it within the return policy, they will apply the $30 off coupon to the 32gb ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KRUSH101:
You clearly did not read my post. I DID NOT expect an arbitrary 30 off. I was prepared to purchase the device at full price when the code didn't work, but anybody with a coupon in hand was refused service at one of my local stores. I clearly state it was not because I couldn't use the coupon, but rather the very poor customer service from all of my local stores that turned me off to staples. And no, the coupon did not exclude the new skus until it was updated very late in the day. Long after I had attempted to purchase one.

Please read my post next time before jumping to conclusions.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] openwheelracing:
So you simply don't like the customer service at your local Staples. Those a$$%&*# at your local store should get fired for treating a wonderful customer badly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Picao:
Best Buy honoring coupon

Cant say too much about Staples but I got my 16 Gb from Best Buy on Saturday. I then found the coupon online after reading the forums and printed it. Took it to Best Buy Sunday afternoon and they refunded the complete price and rang up again with the $30 discount for the coupon. To me that was great customer service. No questions asked. I will buy from them again because of the way the handled that.

I was able to copy a 3GB movie file from a flashdrive to the onboard memory with no issues. Maybe try a powered USB hub? I didn't have to in this case but it might help.

I tried to read an external hard drive and had to use a powered USB hub to even have it mount. Alas, couldn't read anything. Don't know if it's because the hard drive was formatted NTFS or because it was 750GB.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tkdsl:
works for me as well, I am wondering if there will be a root flash-able mod like the original N7 had to turn OTG on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rushless:
Why does Google not allow OTG to be active out of box? Is the lure of trying force people into using the cloud that strong? Clouds drain more battery compared to local content and wifi connections do not have 100% coverage like local does.

The reality is the reason this device is priced at near break-even pricing IS the cloud, so this is why there is no SD slot or full OTG, out of box. Most people do not mod, so most people will be part of their cloud control strategy. I would rather pay $50 more and let Google make a profit on the device, that way I could have a micro sd slot and OTG out of box. Curse Google and their quest for content control and data mining! :silly:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] homemadehitshow:
Earlier I said it wasn't working, without knowingly changing anything both Stickmount and Nexus Media Importer now work. I am rooted and perhaps Stickmount is making NMI work.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] johnny15:
I had issues with OTG on my first N7 2013. It was a flaky connection and would go into a connect/disconnect loop and then just stop all together. I returned it and picked up a different. That one seems to work fine.

Stock, not rooted, and using Nexus Media Importer.

Some people may want to try rebooting their N7 as well.... If you look at the NMI app in the Play Store the developer knows there are a few issues with Android 4.3 when first using the app.

Nope, just turn it on and copy and paste it to the folder ofbyour choice. (unusually create a "RoOt" folder, just my preference)

You mean when I reboot it will ask me then? So some auto script was written into TWRP to grab the file from the PC/MAc and ask you where to put it onto the device?

Nice!!

BTW stickmount is not working in v4.3. I was able to see my USB drive from TWRP so I know its not the cable nor the flash drive. I am also guessing if I copied the SuperSU.zip onto the flash and clicked install from TWRP it will install it from the flash drive as well correct?

I must be doing something wrong. Tried on a second N7 and though it asks to install superSu it does not seem to root on the first boot.

When I go back into recovery and install a second time then I am rooted. I used Android FIle Transfer to place the SUperSU.zip file into the download folder.

Maybe it being on the mac the script not meant to work on GUID versus a windows partition possibly?

No big deal its rooted now.
