[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckofive:
While the US and Europe do have some variance in LTE bands - we confirmed that the bands used by Vodafone NL are as listed below:

Nexus 7 (2013) Tech Specs (LTE)

Network

North America and Japan:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS (1700/2100) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)

LTE: 700/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)

Rest of World:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS (1700/2100) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)

LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)

Wireless

Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) 802.11 a/b/g/n

We confirmed that Vodafone NL use 4G data enabled in a combination of the 800MHz and 1800MHz bands which are listed as supported.

The fact that my N7 can connect to other mobile networks in Europe with other carrier SIM cards also disproves the need to get a "European" model to connect to a network. There clearly is a problem with the Vodafone SIM and the NA Nexus, but simply blaming it on the channel or bands is not correct. Addittionally, even if the LTE connection is not possible 3G connection via HSPA+ or 2G GSM connection should be possible. The same Vodafone SIM worked with my N7 2013 3G model, which was also from NA, so it is clearly not an issue with the bands & channels.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Raverbunny:
Have you tried manually changing your prefered network type in testing menu *#*#4636#*#*

Since there is no dialler on N7 deb, I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freespirit.hms&hl=en

From tablet info submenu, u can also use settings button (3 dots) to manually select radio band
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckofive:
Thanks for the tips regarding the Hidden Menus application. I've installed it and set the GSM/UMTS band to EURO Band (GSM-900/DCS-1800/WCDMA-IMT-2000) but still not had any luck detecting mobile networks with the Vodafone SIM inserted. After removing the SIM and restarting, performing the same operation to search for available networks shows the four network operators in this region. I'm currently in Germany and in this area it shows

E-Plus

o2- de

Telekom.de

Vodafone.de

If I replace the Vodafone NL sim and try the same operation again, Settings | Mobile Networks | Network Operators - it searches for only a second or two (compared to the 15 or so it takes with no SIM installed) then does not show any networks.

All signs point to the issue being with the SIM chip OS or incompatability of the SIM chip profiles with the Nexus 7 (2013) LTE model. I didn't have any issues with this and my Nexus 7 (2012) 3G version.

In another strange hardware related issue, I have noticed that the Nexus 7 (2013) uses a different NFC stack and does not recognize all of the NFC tags that the 2012 model recognizes. A co-worker with the 2013 Wifi only version ordered some NFC tiles but they don't work with either his or my 2013 model, but work with the 2012 model. Very curious if this is somehow related to the issue that I see with the SIM card problem I am having.

Any other ideas?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ricmartins:
Did you find a solution?

Hello All,

Apologies for the opportunistic first post but I only "discovered" this forum today.

I am facing the same issue as buckofive and was wondering whether anyone has ever found a solution?

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckofive:
Unfortunately, I have not been successful in getting this resolved. I've visited Vodafone several times, but none of their in store personnel have been able to give me any other answer than "it doesn't work" and we also see this with North American Nexus 5 handsets. I've done some addditional testing with other MNO SIM cards with American, Dutch, and German T-mobile SIMs and they work flawlessly and with 4G LTE speed, so it isn't a question of network or band.

The issue is definitely related to the SIM card OS and version. However, Vodafone have been unable to tell me what the SIM vendor is and what the chip operating system is. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ricmartins:
Vodafone promised a solution

I have AGAIN asked Vodafone for help and they promised me a solution. I have my doubts ad will post an update next week once i hear back from them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckofive:
Did you hear anything back from Vodafone? They have simply told me they don't support the device and explain that it is due to a North American device, which is simply not true. I've tested with T-Mobile data card from The Netherlands and also from Telekom in Germany and the Nexus 7 2013 gets 40+ Mbps download speeds on those networks. So the issue is clearly related to the Vodafone SIM cards, but no one has been able to give me any insight as to what card OS they are using, so it is very hard to troublehsoot the problem any further.

Two big thumbs down for Vodafone service & support!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Sorontar:
Any news on this problem yet? I have exactly the same problem, I can use a KPN sim but my Vodafone sim simply won't work in my US Nexus 7. This sucks, I upgraded to a multisim Red Super subscription to be able to use my new tablet anywhere without having to tether.

I made sure to check which bands the US Nexus supports and figured in a worst case scenario I would simply use 3G instead of 4G. But it won't connect to 3G either :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pwvandeursen:
I have the issue as well. openend a ticket with Vodafone and directed them to this thread. unfortunately they were thus far also not able to solve it yet. hopefully something will happen, as otherwise I will need to drop Vodafone....

I also tested it with a KPN sim which worked perfectly. two Vodafone sims and a duo sim all had the same issue. Real strange thing is that with the KPN sim I was able to see the Vodafone network. But on the Vodafone sim I wasn't able to see any network. They assured my it was not a 4G only sim card, thus it was also strange the nexus did not pick a 2G or 3G network. In the settings though I could not change the 4G perferred setting to either 2G or 3G. it immediately reverted back to the 4G setting....

All in all, no realy help yet, only confirmation of what is being seen above.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckofive:
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting on the response from Vodafone. I've had a ticket open for months with them, and it supposedly has been escalated. I've inquired in person with the so called "specialists" and they simply say it doesn't work with their SIMs. Yet nobody can tell me anything about the SIM, like manufacturer card OS, etc. It is really frustrating to hear this as I work with smart card and SIM middleware developers and if we had a bit to work with we might be able to fix the problem on our own.

I was at the end of my rope and extreme frustrated with them and wanted to cancel my contract, but they said that despite me paying for months of service that I haven't been able to use, that I would have to pay the remaining duration of my contract before I could switch to T-Mobile, which I think is total crap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Swedish Chef:
dual sim same problem with vodafone NL

I have the same issue. I use a dual sim from Vodafone in my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. The Nexus 5 does not show these problems, but the 7 does. When I buy prepay mobile data abroad (Europe, Asia, US, Australia), the Nexus 7 2013 C works great with e.g. Orange, t-Mobile, Vodafone etc. But as my cellular subscription is a corporate one, at home I have to stick to wifi, for almost 2 years now! (I bought the 7 in Australia about 2 years ago). And yes exchanging sims between the devices does not make a difference. The combination vodafone NL sim + nexus 7 does not provide mobile data.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] risidoro:
Do u like poker? Do u like cute girls?

If u answered yes to both questions then chances are that you have pocket StripPoker II somewhere in your magician.

I installed it a few days ago but i realized very soon how bad at poker i am! No way to take those damned clothes off! No guys, i don't like poker at all but i like girls so i looked for a way to trick the program and eventually found one. Here it is.

Install the game and the default girl.

Install any other girl u like (they sell them separately).

Run the program and start playing with each girl. A round is enough.

Quit playing and close the program.

Open your favourite registry editor.

Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Spanksoft->ppc_sp2->Data.

You'll find a lot of items listed (NCB, NGB, NLB, etc). Each of them has an hexadecimal value and a name in the form: Nxy where x and y are variables.

"y" (in Nxy) is unique for each girl installed (default girl should have 'B').

Suppose you have just one girl installed (the default one), then you'll find those values listed:

"NHB"=dword:00000001

"NMB"=dword:00000000

"NCB"=dword:00000000

"NPB"=dword:00000285

"NGB"=dword:00000163

"NSB"=dword:00000001

"NLB"=dword:00000001

Note: If u don't see NLB value listed don't worry, it is created when you win at least a match (that is: u take off girl's shoes). If it is not there then just create it!

What do those values means? Read below:

NPx (x is different for each girl) = your money (in exadecimal)

NGx = girl's money

NCx = girl's undressing level (from 0=dressed to 4=only knickers on)

and MOST IMPORTANT:

NLx (i repeat, create it if u don't have it) = videos available in gallery (from 0=no video, to 5=final striptease)!!!

To summarize:

suppose you have two girls installed, the default one and another one. Run the game and play a few rounds with both (registry values are created when u play for the first time).

Open your registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Spanksoft->ppc_sp2->Data

You'll find 12 values (6 for each girl installed):

"NHB"=dword:00000001

"NMB"=dword:00000000

"NCB"=dword:00000000

"NPB"=dword:00000285

"NGB"=dword:00000163

"NSB"=dword:00000001

"NHN"=dword:00000001

"NMN"=dword:00000000

"NCN"=dword:00000000

"NPN"=dword:00000255

"NGN"=dword:00000133

"NSN"=dword:00000001

(Note: **B and **N are just an example, you may find **K or S or L, etc etc. It depends on which girls were installed).

Suppose you wanna see all the videos available for the girl **B; then you have to create the hexadecimal value "NLB"=dword:00000005

Create a similar value "NLN"=dword:00000005 to see all the videos for the girl **N.

Now suppose you wanna play against **B starting from the level 3 (in which she has only her bra and slips on). To be even more unfair, you wanna 1000 credits for u and 10 for her (ehehe) then you have to change NCB from 0 to 3 and to set NPB=000003E8 and NGB=0000000A (0x3E8=1000 and 0xA=10 in decimal).

That's all (and excuse me for my awful english!!!)

Bye bye,

Isidoro

OK, I don't know whether to congratulate you or ridicule you for this find. Though, so the betaplayer comment is valid. And you can convert a lot better dvds than what the game has to offer! :P

Wheres the fun of it dude??

Hey guys, you should appreciate what risidoro did. People like him are the one that makes this website big and interesting.

Do you guys ever play this game before?? This game is basically just for fun and not the same like regular porn. I used to play this game and i quit because I never win. Now I will install it again and do the hack just for fun.

Thanks risidoro, don’t be mad, keep posting

Main Entry: por·nog·ra·phy

Function: noun

Etymology: Greek pornographos, adjective, writing about prostitutes, from pornE prostitute + graphein to write; akin to Greek pernanai to sell, poros journey -- more at FARE, CARVE

1 : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement

2 : material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement

3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction

Sorry mate but I cannot agree. If the female images depict naked breasts or genitalia then it is Porn (albeit 'soft') according to the above definition of the word.

In Oz and many European countries, displaying such a game at work could easily lead to sexual harassment claims.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MMaster23:
Don't take me wrong (flaming war going on here). I think it's great that could hack this in the reg. But the point of the game is to be good at the game and then be "rewarded" with erhmmm .. porn?

So if you hack this, what's left of the game? That's right. Bunch of porn.

Just as the wise person said above me... try to keep to yourself. Don't spread it at your work. It kinda depends on your collegues but there will always be one who rings the bell. And then you'll be sorry you ever installed it on your magician.

Just a small pieces of advice. Sorry if I messed the topic up.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] risidoro:
Don't know which kind of colleagues u work with, mine don't feel sexual harassed (girls included) for such a stupid (and funny) game. We use to have a laught and that's all!

I'm almost sure some of you have a beautiful girl (or man) displayed as desktop background (even at work) and i don't think this can lead to sexual harassment claims (a female colleague of mine has a naked football player on her desktop)!!! C'mon guys, it's year 2005; women are even more emancipated than men!

That game is not porn, it's just a funny game to play during lauch breaks.

Anyway, pls, don't think i'm a pervert! I've a fantastic girlfriend, i love her, and, maybe in a couple of years, i'll have a fantastic family too. :)

are u sure u are dutch? u can't be if u don't like a striptease ...which is not porn.

i hope my wife doesn't strip for me tonight becuz i don't want a bunch of porn. and i wouldn't want that...right?

and why does everybody post a moral comment? if u don't like the thread or its subject then stay out.

ok so i got the N8020.

and ive downloaded VLC, BS, Mobo, MX player and ive tried using the regular player.

Whenever i zoom into a video to cut out the black bars ( in all the players) it zooms keep the left edge of the video on the left edge of the screen. Instead of centering it.

This is kinda retarded, why would anyone want this functionality, which leads me to think maybe its a bug.

my screen currently looks like this! It used to be just a minor thing.. sometimes when i would power on my screen, it would flicker like this for a second and then return normal. This would happen only once in 2 weeks, so i was never bothered by it. But since yesterday ... the display just keeps showing this.. it is responding to the touch.. i can see the lines change colours.. it briefly flickered to the actual display once or twice for a second.. but now its permanently like this.. any ideas on what to do?

Try clearing cache and davlik in recovery. If that doesn't help, may have to reflash rom, or stock or something. If its still there, must be a hardware issue. A bad one by the looks of it.

Yeah, seems its hardware tho. I'd say your device is done. Sorry to say.

Unless someone has seen this before? Thing is, if you can't do anything with it....you're probably out of luck. You could blindly try to use fastboot or something to flash it again. But if the lines are there in recovery and when its off and charging.....I think its definitely hardware.

Your problem is more than likely either a corrupted SD card... Either internal or external...

Or bad media files on internal or external...

Easy fix?

Back up both cards and use recovery... NOT FASTBOOT... To format them... Or mount in recovery and let windows... Or G-Parted on Linux reformat them... Then restore your backup...
