With the small price difference, the 32GB is a must unless it's not available in your area.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BrianDigital:
I went 16gb I have the og n7 in 32 GB, and I barely use the space. If you travel a lot and for see a lot of downtime on planes then 32 might be the way to go
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
That's exactly why I went with the 16gb

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Rippley05:
I went with 16 as well. It's all Staples had and Best Buy acted like they never even heard of Nexus 7, much less if they even had any in stock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
It was the same when I went to best buy. I had to argue with them it was even released yet. I was happy to get my 32GB Nexus for only 12 more dollars then the 16GB
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BrianDigital:
I also went with 16gb cause I had to buy two lol , due to the misses out of work due to an injury and she would be a little jealous if she didnt get one too, But in the end two new n7's for under one new ipad its a win
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] michaelg1030:
Kind of regretting the 16gb purchase now. Staples didn't have the 32gb and I was getting the $30 off.

You guys think if I was to exchange it for the 32gb withinthe return window they would transfer the $30 coupon which is now technically expired.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Not sure but it's worth a shot of you really want the 32gb

I had to get 32 with no SD option.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The111:
Rather than argue with clueless sales reps, next time just check the store's stock on the website first. If they have it, buy it and it will be waiting for you when you get to the store. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sus4ntoh:
That depends on which store you go to. I checked the store inventory from the website, confirm they have in stock by calling them and upon arriving within 15 min. of calling, store manager said they don't have it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The111:
The inventory on the web is not always 100% accurate, BUT if you want to buy the item and go ahead and place your order... it send an automated request to the store forcing them to "prepare your order" for pickup. You then get another automated email within a few minutes saying if the item is ready, or if it is not (i.e. the stock listing was wrong). I had to order mine from two local stores before actually getting it available at one. Still beats driving around and talking to confused employees. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] darkodin14:
Amazon Pricematch

On friday I started a chat with amazon, told them I want to buy the nexus 7 32gb from them but staples had a 30$ coupon so I asked if I can price match he said he couldn't price match but gave me a $30 credit to my account. I told him thanks. He actually have me $30 off any item. I tried checking out with a different item that was sold by amazon and it used my credit anyway It was not locked to the purchase of the nexus 7.

I ended up ordering the nexus 7 32 GB with Amazon Prime and upgraded shipping to 1 day and paid $264.53 (see attachment)

Gotta say amazon is amazing. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nexusmanftw:
Great to see
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Damn I wonder if they'll still honor that... Probably not now since it expires tomorrow.

I ordered mine Friday for Saturday shipping. Cost like $302 after tax and shipping.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] viralbug:
Apart from BestBuy, which online store has 32GB in stock and ready to ship?

Amazon is sold out and will take 3-4 weeks.

B&H is still pre-order. However, it does show July 30 as estimated date for 16GB, but nothing for 32GB one.

Adorama is ready to ship 16GB, but says will start shipping for 32GB in beginning of Aug.

It does look like there might be stock issues for 32GB, or am I worrying too much?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aliaselchore:
Man that's BS..... Staples wouldn't only let me use the $30 coupon they also wouldn't sell me the 32gb. Only reason i bought the 16gb is Cus the manager said she'll do me a favor and sell me the last 16gb Cus I bough other tablets (first transformer and 1st nexus 7) there before. That's sucks they do that man..... Really bummed
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nexusmanftw:
Wow! Peets coffee!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hackerbob:
although 16gb version with 12gb usable is more than enough for me . i still got the 32gb version because it will come in handy for numerous apps and hd videos for vacation purposes without the hassle of a otg cable and usb etc

Yeah I would go Asap. The rep I spoke to on the phone said they would be out of them quick as some stores have already reported selling out
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] beano311:
Picked mine up this afternoon, Willow Grove, PA Best Buy, they're sold out now. I had it preordered already online for delivery, got the email at like 4am this morning saying the release date of a product you ordered had changed. I thought "well, looks like they probably pushed it back to a later release in August or something..." Then I saw that it was released today, so I went online to see if they were available for in-store pickup. Sure enough they were. Now I have the one I bought and the one coming via UPS. Now I'm hoping I can just take the one I got delivered and return it to the store with the receipt from the in-store pickup one so I'm not stuck with two.

Does anyone know when or if this is going to get its own forum?

Update: You can return an online order to any Best Buy, per their return policy. "Avoid shipping charges and receive a refund more quickly by returning your items to any Best Buy store within the United States."

--THREAD MOVED!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WeekendWarrior:
There has been a lot of unpleasantness within the small community of THL W100 owners in the past couple of days which have ended with the closing of a few threads, which I find quite disappointing, as there was a lot of good information in them, and some useful links, most importantly for me, a link to a download of the THL W100 stock rom, which I have only just realised I do not possess any more. If anyone has this on their computer, please, please upload it so we all can benefit.

I'm planning on starting a custom rom for the THL w100, but I can't start it without the stock rom. I have access to the ThL.W100.130701.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P32_MT6589 ROM, but I am looking for the first hardware revision's stock ROM.

Things I am planning on doing to the rom include

Stock AOSP Lockscreen

Screenshot in power menu

Dictionary fix

Optional resizing of "internal SD card" into phone storage

Hopefully a camera fix for the newer hardware

Easy GPS.conf

Some minor speed tweaking

Integration with the amazing GravityBox

No Bloat!

That was the majority of my ideas I believe, I wrote them previously in a thread which ended up being deleted unfortunately.

Please note that I do not care about donations, and I am most certainly NOT trying to rip off or steal from any other THL W100 custom ROM developers.

Hopefully the THL W100 users can find this thread and assist on my search, and together we can build a great custom ROM for the THL W100, a very deserving phone!

"Successfully root w100 with 130701 firmware

RO.EDi Fusion 1.0 + camera patch is NOT work for me.

Rear cam is still missing.

Anyway, some Thai guy can successfully root w100 with 130701 firmware.

Here is how i did. (tested, work !)

- Back up and make sure that you can accept the risk of brick you phone. This is from trials and errors, guru please suggest if there is anything wrong with this method.

- Download UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/339/Sup...erSU-v1.41.zip

copy to the root of your microSD. (without zip extraction)

- Install official firmware 130701 from needrom

- Install CWM recovery, i used previous version of RO.EDi, v6.0.3.2, installed with SP Tool.

*** I used scatter-loading file that come with 130701

*** I choose only "recovery checkbox" and browse to "recovery.img" from RO.EDi W100 CWM v6.0.3.2

- Turn the phone off and enter CWM

- install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sdcard -> UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip

- Reboot and enjoy rooted W100"

I got to the phones recovery menu by following the following instructions

A. Remove Battery From Phone wait 2 sec.

B. Reinstall Battery

C. Press Volume UP + Power

AND DON'T LET GO OF THE BOTH KEYS

FOR ABOUT 8 SEC until u are into recovery menu.

its all in Chinese - is there a way to swap over to English ?

I seem to have selected the phones self check / diagnostic option which it started checking SIMs, Audio Volume and GPS, I then removed the battery and it was all OK. I would recommend against doing this unless you know what your doing or able to change the language to one you can understand...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WeekendWarrior:
Thanks Intrax, unfortuantly I get a 404 when I try and get to that link?

I'm using a matte screen protector I bought with the phone, and I strongly advise you leave the screen protector on. Scratches will just annoy you, and it's not gorilla glass.

You've accessed the THL stock recovery I think, you need to flash CWM onto your phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
it definitely is the THL recovery, there are quite a few options to select from, would be nice if we could get a better handle of what the THL recovery is capable of, may have its own built in ROM Flashing capabilities with no need to use CWM.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
confirmed. new boot animation (its so pretty) LoL

It appears a tad smoother, close to LeWa Rom I guess

Unsure about the multi-language as I like to stick with English

Discovered the following:

Hit the Vol+ then Power button at the same time for 8+ seconds while the phone is on

Phone reboots into recovery - its own version of recovery

Keep the buttons pressed while phone is rebooting until you see the android robot lying on its back

Let go of both buttons

Hit the Vol- or Power key

Menu appears which is similar to CWM - the controls are different

*at this point be careful not to damage your phone

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

I don't believe it matters much nor would you damage your phone if you flashed an incorrect image. Worse case your camera wouldn't work. If you flash your phone with the latest official THL image it caters for both camera hardware revisions.

Ro.EDi's original image was based on firmware 130529 and your firmware is the same, it looks like your device is based on the older hardware. Correct me if I am wrong, you didn't have camera issues with RoFUSION roms. Hope this helps.

Dalambert - try UMI W100 OLDCAM for your phone

I'm not sure, if I recall correctly Ro.EDi did some modifications to the camera driver settings to achieve a higher quality image. Others posted in this thread about using different camera software LG something, check a few pages back. Someone else with more details to assist i_novakov?

A new ROM released by THL 130711 which may have updated camera drivers for optimum picture performance. I haven't taken any pictures just made sure the camera is operational. As they do not issue a change-log, its hard to tell (without experimenting) what changes are in the software roms they release.

then re-read the section Flashing the whole ROM

make sure you understand it 100% before you attempt flashing the new software onto your phone as it may cause irreversible damage. Good Luck

Issue with digital clock widget on homescreen

Hey guys!

I got my THL W100 about 10 days ago. Two issues are driving me nuts. Hope you can help...

I put the digital clock widget that came with the phone on my homescreen. The widget is supposed to show both time and date.

At midnight, when a new day starts, the date won't change. The date only changes when I resize or replace the widget. Restarting the phone also helps. But that's not very satisfying...

The battery indicator seems to have problems as well: I had the phone fully charged (100%) this morning and within 3 hours the battery dropped to only 1% (I didn't even use the phone - only stand-by). Strangely enough, the phone stuck to 1% and didn't shut down for hours. I did several restarts and suddenly the battery percentage went up to 44%. I noticed something similiar several days ago. Now I'm worried.

Do you have any ideas how to fix these problems? Thanks for your help!

ok...i moved to the computer to respond...

if you want better compression modification is made in /system/build.prop . the best way to do that is with es explorer . open es file explorer = menu= root explorer = mark system RW . after that navigate to system/build.prop and at the and add the folowing lines :

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000
