Thanks man. I mean with the box and packed. No they wont be carrying more any new gadgets. So no customs right? I had this doubt since i have heard that new rules have been more stricter.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] I r o n M a n:
Nope. No customs.

But just to be on the safe side, it's better not to carry the box. Just to carry all the contents, but without the box.

Not that it should be a problem.

Yaa i told them to carry the tab in their hands if they are carrying the box in their luggage :-p Dont knw how much will it help....but to just give an idea that the tab is a device for personal use
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roofrider:
Mine was brought in with the box, no issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
When did you get it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roofrider:
A couple of months back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rajat_delhi:
I got it from Australia. Box was in check - in luggage and the device in hand baggage. You relatives can also claim TRS if applicable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
Great. Thanks a ton for your help guys. Will be getting it soon hopefully and will be joining you guys here. Looking for frwd for the tab and to be a part of this group.

A friend got the nexus 7 2013 a couple of months ago. Had it in a box. He also bought a couple of other gadgets. Nothing happened. It'll be fine.

Edit: It was sealed too. So no worries.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
There has been a lot of threads complaining abt the dead devices, multi touch issues. Is it still there ? new batch is working good? Still such issues persist? As i am importing one....concerened abt the device, warranty not valid in India.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aritro88:
frankly, i cant fathom the reason as why people still want to import the N7 after it has launched officially in India.

i agree its a lil overpriced on playstore, but is it really worth it to forfeit warranty to save a measly sum of 3500? (amazon v/s playstore India).

also, if u ask some relative etc to get one for u, and the device is DOA, or has some issues out of the box, there is no way in hell that u can return or replace the device. amazon does offer a 30 day replacement, but what about in the long run? wht if it develops some issues after the 30 day window?

plus, if u read all the threads carefully, u'll notice that 99% of the N7 devices which are having the infamous issues ( ghost touches, gps lock, buzzing speakers etc) are US or UK bought. google India had delayed the launch for a reason.......... :P (my device is abt 2weeks old now, not a single issue has cropped up. no ghost touches, no speaker buzzing, no lost gps lock, no dead pixels etc)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roofrider:
Asus supposedly offers international warranty.

I don't have any touch issues, but i do have some kind of a stain around the nexus logo on the back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
I verified that. They mailed me saying US purchased products have warranty only in Canada,Mexico and few other states only. Lets see. I told them use it for a while and check for issues before bring it down here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roofrider:
You contacted Asus?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
Yup First DM'd them on twitter. they gave me their technical support team's Email address. Mailed them. They were first unsure. Then they gave me the link for nexus 7 2013 on their site. its mentioned there that its valid in US and few other states only. I dont knw...will have to visit their service center to get a clear idea
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roofrider:
This one?

http://support.asus.com/Warranty.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Nexus 7 (2013)&p=28&s=2

Will have to clarify it with Asus India i guess.

Anyway, i have read about people claiming international warranty earlier, right here in xda if i'm not mistaken.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
yes the very same. That would be great. If you would come across that thread where it is mentioned. Please do repost it here. Would be of great help.

Any idea, will VCC from Entropay will work there ? Only Indian users comment if you have every bought something from Play Store
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aritro88:
ASUS mailed me the same thing. i specifically had asked about the LTE version, they said that its warranty is "country specific". i.e. US bought ones will get warranty only in the north american continent

i dont know abt the wi-fi only versions......

then again, all terms are mentioned in the warranty card with the device. and someone had already posted a pic of it in this thread which stated the same thing - "warranty applicable in US, Canada and Mexico only"
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
But as far as I can understand the page only describes about the American region where the warranty is applicable. It just mentions that it is not applicable to the whole american continent.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roofrider:
Correct.

This is what i have in my warranty card. (Mine was bought in Malaysia actually, but i don't think that makes any difference)

Guys,

Nexus 7 noob alert! - :laugh: Wondering if someone could point suggest a nice screen protector and a case for my brand new Nexus 7. I just finished downloading the KK 4.4 update.

Thank you Rajat. :) :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rajat_delhi:
Yeah check amzer.com. They have got some decent cases. Ebay is full of those cases... But I am still looking for a protective case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sharp-Razr:
Thanks and what about a good quality screen protector?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rajat_delhi:
Not using any screen protector. Don't find it useful.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sharp-Razr:
I am thinking of ordering the official case from the play store. I didn't like what's on offer on eBay. There are cases on Amazon US with good reviews but I might check out Amazon India. They have 2 dealers (ibhejo.com and shop your world) that get them for you from the US.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rajat_delhi:
Better to check local market first as I don't trust ebay for these things. Then you can order it online. I wanted something like that is available for ipad. A military grade protective case.

I am not sure so asked about it. Try getting it from Australia. It is cheaper there. Check shopbot.com.au.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] saintsinner25:
Hmmm..it feels amazing in the hand.high quality tpu helluva lot better than these local tpu cases you get.hardly adds any bulk (but i could be wrong as my hands are quite big) it is soft touch all around and the bugdroid design on the back gives grip while is using the tab (while looking really badass too) it also gives the tablet a lip and covers all the corners for keeping it upside down.it's good for everyday use but i don't think it will handle a drop (considering my nexus 7 is already a bit shaky on the top) and the price is imho a little high.but then again you don't get them here so it's better to pay 900+ than to order from outside and wait.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] I r o n M a n:
As far as I know, there's no way you can get it for $260 if you want warranty.

Either stretch your budget a little bit, or you'll have to do without the warranty.

Plus you want UPS priority shipping.

SO not happening bro.

Sorry, but that's the truth.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shantusingh:
dude its first of all GENUINE IMPORT FROM USA not indian released and is with international warranty not "global", which works only in Canada, Mexico n America or maybe some more but not India .... 11 days waiting maybe will lead to more waiting .. paying 19.5K :eek: not ever near good! many don't have proper knowledge at all you bet!

Bottom line they bought it at nearby my price or less if bought in bulk of course then only and selling at 19.5k to pay ebay fees and earn the extra for them .
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Androidnow:
Yaa i havent booked or something. Called up the person. He said....hes out of stock. If he gets a discount like last time he may sell it for 18.4k. Next shipment will arrive on 26th...which may also get delayed. Anyway.....Got a good deal for 32GB nexus 2012 for 10k....my relatives are coming in march now....so no point to wait for 2013 nexus till then. Should i go for nexus 2012 ? Is it still good to play games like Gp2 , real racing 3 , FIFA without any issues?

Will root and use a custom rom anyway.

Hey guys need some help.

I own a nexus 7 2013 with an unlocked bootloader and AICP running on it. It was a gift from an aunt of mine and it was bought in USA, but not from Google. Yesterday, my brother unfortunately dropped the tablet by mistake. It was in a case, but the screen still cracked and now the touchscreen doesn't work at all.:(

I called up the Asus helpline and they told me that I could get mine repaired only from a store named 'Digicom' which is in Nehru Place ( I live in New Delhi). As that place is pretty far from where I live, is there any other place from where I can get the tablet repaired? The Asus site doesn't show any service centers for the Nexus 7 on their website.

If there is no other place, will the 'Digicom' store be fine? Currently they are asking me 9300 INR for replacing the screen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ImAnurag:
If you can post 2-3 pictures of your cracked Nexus 7 screen, it would be good...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] andogeek10:
I will surely do that. Currently my phone is not with with me so I can't post any pictures. I'll describe the problem. It is cracked in the bottom right part of the screen like an arc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Umang96:
I think they might be asking 9300 for both display and touch screen, i think display panel is below your touchscreen and 9300 is too much for top gass touch panel
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] andogeek10:
Yes, I think so as my whole touchscreen doesn't work except for the back button area and that works only after hitting that area multiple times.

My phone‘s touchscreen stopped working once, it‘s very old(optimus one) and i got touch replaced from lg service centre for just rs540, and i think that even if N7‘s screen is cracked and it‘s under warranty by asus then also you have to pay for it, because it is physical damage.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] andogeek10:
Yeah, I know I have to pay, of that there is no doubt. But, I wanted to know if this store Digicom will fine and if they are not asking too much for the replacement?

And are there any other stores in New Delhi that will service the nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] averagegeek:
I think you should know that there is a protective glass about the display, called Gorilla Glass which protects the display from any scratches. So it may be the culprit here. What Digicom asks you is insane & you shouldn't pay them.

There is online legal forum called Akosha.com which may help you dealing with the issue with the company directly. You should try that. Also if you can, you should contact the distributor from which it was originally purchased or enquire if it has international warranty & if they can assist you with any replacement.

If the top glass & display are both broken, repair would cost such an amount. Even then, you should contact ASUS for further info about any other service centre availability & about the replacement cost.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] andogeek10:
Yeah, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Today I finally decided to go to that center in Nehru Place. And guess what? They are now asking Rs.17,500 for the replacement of the screen and the digitizer. And that too without opening the tablet to check if the digitizer is really damaged or not (some parts of the screen work if enough force is applied on the back).

I agree to the fact that they are asking too much. I have called up the service hotline and they have given another address (again Nehru Place) and the center says that they call up on Monday with the appropriate information regarding the pricing. I have also sent an email to asus regarding the poor customer support.

I'm planning to get a N7 32GB wifi only model. I have relatives coming from the US next month and they can get it for me for $270 which works out to around 16,700 INR. The same model here would cost 7k extra. Also, I've read that ASUS offers international warranty for the N7 and, considering that it's a wifi only device, they shouldn't have problems repairing it here (no issues with different radios as in the LTE version).

So I wanted to know if anyone here has manage to get their imported N7 repaired under warranty or at least repaired without having it shipped to the US? And, if the N7 won't be covered under warranty here, is it worth paying the extra 7k?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rajat_delhi:
Ser, the device won't give you any issues for an year unless it is a DOA product. If the screen is broken then it is already not covered in warranty. So it is safe. I am already using an Australian N7 2013 since August without any issues.

It seems that only the top glass has broken.So it doesn't seem any need to replace the display panel.

Forget about replacing the screen. They are asking 17k for replacing the screen. I emailed the customer care person for Asus and got the same price the person at the service center asked. This the official quote from him regarding the changing of the screen.

15984 (5% tax and 800 service charge)

There is one Asus registered service center in Nehru Place called "Digicomp Complete Solutions Ltd.". The person over there quoted 17k for replacing the screen. Anyways if you wanted the address :

I'm sorry but there is no other way. When my screen cracked, the digitizer was also damaged. I suspect the same has happened with yours. You can either send your tablet to the service center and pay 16000 INR or buy the whole front case assembly and repair it on your own by following guides online.
