RE: Fake Nillkin

I got a Nillkin V-series from a Sulit seller as well. The box has this security strip that you need to scrape off with a coin. Underneath that strip is a code that you can then enter in the NILLKIN website to check for authenticity.

I think you can enter the code only once to ensure that teh code is not copied.

Is the Nillkin Stylish Leather Case from GizmoShield legit? Planning on buying from them if it is.

Also, any advice on rooting and installing ROMS? I did my research though but I need advice for this:

-rooting - WugFresh's toolkit?

-ROM - Paranoid Android RC2?

Pinoy here from Singapore. I owned N7 LTE version since last week and I can say it's a superb and smooth tablet. I think this is the best tablet out in the market today not because I owned one but because of the specs, performance and the price. I also owned Asus Travel Cover which looks nice.

I also ordered the Asus Premium Cover on eBay and expecting to receive it next week. I hope it will fit my tablet perfectly. There are a lot of reviews from amazon customers that I doesn't fit there tablets with all four corners. I will be posting some more details once I received the Premium Cover.

Mabuhay!

try to search in ebay. there are seller from taiwan which offers free shipping and a little cheaper that the UK sellers. it will be around 60sgd (2Kpesos). but since this is a free shipping, it will take some time around 2 weeks to reach your address. they are also offering quick shipping but will make the price more expensive since you are adding shipping fee. note that the premium cover is not a smart cover with magnet and auto wake function.

I ordered mine this monday. Please also take note that there are customers from amazon that says that the premium cover doesn't fit well on four corners. but some others confirmed it fits well.

Hi guys,

I'm an aussie who has been working in Manila for the past year

I got my N7 FHD LTE from Hotgadgets - a physical store and Sulit seller - store in Corinthians Cyber Pod building (across from Rob Galleria).

I got a Poetic flip case from a seller on Sulit - nice guy, PM me if you need further details.

As typically in Manila, its hard to find relevant accessories outside of an Apple or Samsung product.

Has anyone found a Qi compatible charging pad?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Xaeons:
There are sellers in Sulit that sells Qi Chargers, though most of them are quite expensive (I'm looking at you DT-900)

Don't want to risk buying nameless qi chargers which have not been through reviews or testing first. I think I'm gonna wait it out till something moderately priced and reliable comes along. Or I could buy a DT-900 off ebay.

Wrong. Ebay qi are very good.

Kitkat update

Hi, I recently bought my Nexus 7 2013 from Data Blitz.

Glad to say that I'm very much impressed. The display is really topnotch.

I learned yesterday that Android 4.4 is supposedly available already for our tablet but when I try system update, no new updates can be found.

I'm still on 4.3 build number JWR66N.

Has anyone been prompted to update? Anyone tried to do manual updating?

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JMacalinao:
I ordered my premium cover from Amazon recently, then forwarded it here. Only took a week in shipping, and I'm very lucky to get a cover that fits perfectly. :) Wished it had a magnet though.

I bought three Qi chargers from three different places:

Metrans MWT03 from ahappydeal - It's the least expensive ($20). Took a month in shipping, but it was worth it, and it's been reviewed well in the Nexus 4 forum so you know it's good quality.

LG WCP-300 from Sulit - It was definitely a genuine LG accessory and it was working really great... until it suddenly stopped working. Probably just a faulty unit, or my wonky power adapter ruining it. Fortunately, I was able to get a refund since it's expensive - over twice the price of the Metrans.

Wopow PW001 from Aliexpress - this one's really cool because it's both a Qi charger and a 5000mAh power bank. I got this while it had a big discount (it was around $50-60), but this is going for about $90 now. Only took a week in shipping, but I nearly got burned by customs. Note to self: Never use EMS ever again! :laugh:

I've tried the two chargers with my Nexus 4, 5, and 7 (2013), and they all work perfectly (except for the Nexus 4 since its coil wasn't centered, so I had to offset the placement, but other than that, they all work with the device). I use both often - one at work and one at home.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jhannbernas:
Good for you! :) You may try to install Intellicover if you want to have the auto wake/off function via flip cover. just use the light mode only since the nexus 7 doesn't have proximity sensor. remember to calibrate it carefully. I have been using it for a week now and working perfectly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JMacalinao:
Didn't know there's such an app. Thanks! :)

Case warning...

Hey all, glad to see a healthy community here. I just wanted to post a warning for all you case hunters out there to not get the jelly case that has an "S" design at the back (or any transparent jelly case for that matter). I've been insanely happy about my N7 but I've also been wasting countless hours going through malls and online sites where I could get a decent case to no avail. So I settled with the transparent jelly one. Probably because I was tired and couldn't really wait anymore and wanted protection asap. I am very careful with my stuff in general but I have a 1 year old that seems to gravitate towards my stuff than his tub of toys.

As the story goes, I lived with the "gray" smoked jelly thing which was snug and didn't add a lot of bulk. But... yesterday, I decided to clean the tablet and so I got it out of the jelly case. I couldn't believe that there were very fine but noticeable (if you're me) scratches on the thin black shiny plastic bezel of the tablet!!! I tried to rub them off to the best of my abilities to no avail. I remembered how me and my friends used to buy GelaSkins for the iPod touch because our jelly cases tend to scratch the shiny polished aluminum backside and even the bezel of the touch. I never thought it would happen to plastic. I've grown to use jelly ones (Branded and Ali-ones) on Sammys and iPhones and not have this terrible thing happen. It might have a lot to do with little dust particles that sticks and rubs against the shiny bezel of the tablet. All other parts of the N7 is fine though.

So there it goes... My N7 is yet again naked (and minorly micro-scratched). I've been seeing a lot of cases in Sulit below 1k which seems questionable to me and there aren't many options for us out there. The best thing I could do at the moment is a neoprene sleeve which is a little wobbly and half a cm shorter than the tablet. When I'm feeling motivated to bring a pouch with me, I fortunately found a pocket that fits the N7 even without a case. It's a free travel-passport pouch I got from JD a few years back (screenies for your pleasure).

I hope this helps people out there who are scratching their heads in getting a case for their N7, don't get a tranparent jelly. Unless it's a CruzerLite or a full black TPU. More power to the N7 FHD community!

Case Update: Some shops in 3rd floor VMall Greenhills are selling the official N7 Travel Case in neon green, orange and blue. Tested it but wasn't impressed. They go for 1-1.2k

I went with the black Nillkin flipcase. Got it from Game One Gadgets for 1.3k, fits perfectly sleek with sleep/wake function. The only con is you need to break in the folding smart cover thing before it could hold its position in high portrait. Happy case hunting!

I think there are third-party SMS apps. But those are using data connection to work. Without Data Connection, you're left with nothing.

Forgot to ask, do you have the DEB?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Flash05:
Deb? Go sms and the rest dont work. Only option i think is via root but as much as possible i want to avoid it
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mus1mus:
Deb is the code name for the LTE version. I have used Go SMS before switching to custom ROMs. GO SMS needs data connection. Meaning your LTE subscription is active.

Custom ROMs like CM, T.E.A.M Nocturnal, some others got SMS enabled by default so I stayed with custom ROMS.

And very happy with them
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Flash05:
Yes i have the lte version. So there's no way to make it work except custom rom or modifying it via hack/flash recovery. I found already the link to do this
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mus1mus:
AFAIK, there's no way you can enable SMS without root or going through a long process of modifying your Framework-res.apk.

There is a patch that you can install via TWRP or CWM. But they're ROM dependent. If you are on stock ROM, rooting is the only way to go. Then install the patch via recovery.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mus1mus:
Installing a custom ROM with SMS capability seemed to be the easiest way. There are lots of ROMs offering that.

Exposed Framework is another thing. But not really guaranteed unless you know what you are doing.

Another Dev posted a SMS patch that will enable the function on LTE Nexus 7. But is also ROM dependent and prefers stock ROM.

By the way, Team Nocturnal Rom is my recommendation. Got SMS, MotoX Patch that will make your N7 outrun any tabs out there,

it even has an optional build that included a Dialer. Yep, the LTE N7 can make calls!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600621&page=13 ..

Defects?

Guys, any of you experienced defects? Shattered screens? I've been reading online for the past 2 days about the Nexus 7 (2013), some would go all out saying, "It's a great tablet when it works". Personally, I was using Paranoid Saberdroid for about 2 days, and came across two forced shutdowns. And I couldn't even wake the tab up by simply pressing the sleep/power button. I needed to press sleep plus volume down. Since then, I used CleanRom. Stable. Haven't been experiencing any problems. My tab is about 10 days old, so I can't comment if this one is a lemon unit or a good one. Anyways, Here's the main question, any of you have been using the tab for about 6 months and up? how's the tablet doing? any problems? I haven't seen much in the FB group and here in this thread. So I'm assuming, units here in our country are probably not lemon. so thanks :)
