Official Google Nexus 7 Thread

Thinking of maybe picking up the 2013 version in Barcelona next month. Anyone know a good place to shop for electronics there? Maybe it'd be better to just get 2012 here and bide my time. Really want that HD screen :-(

The new system update seems to have fixed the touch issues for me. Thanks Google

Hi. My name is OGroteKoning and I am a Nexus 7 owner

Now that I have one of these, expect some questions. I will start playing with it tomorrow evening.

Where can I find the latest firmware? Or is it best OTA?

I already downloaded SDK 5.0.0 from a thread on XDA. Will it be okay to root with or is there another easier way?

Hi guys

I'm interested in the 32GB LTE version. Does anybody know if the LTE will work on our networks and where I can get one locally?

Thanks!

 

[OGroteKoning]

Is anyone running Cyanogenmod 10.2 on a wi-fi 32gb 2012 model (no 3g)? I would like to know which apps are safe to freeze

 

[Necropolis]

I've never bothered freezing anything with CM....

So lady luck was on my side and I was lucky enough to win a Nexus 7 in the KitKat competition. I guess it will be the 16GB version - I will find out in 4 weeks.

In the meantime I would like to get a case.

I found a nice one for around $13 on Amazon, but it looks like they don't want to ship it to SA. Locally I was able to find this one:

but it seems a bit expensive.

Does anybody know where I can get a good case?

Thanks in advance.

SPECK NEXUS 7 FITFOLIO-BLK

it got good reviews, but it's pricey. I am happy with mine

Thanks.

I would say about 7 - 10 times. I answered the questions they asked with each entry.

Dankie O Grote Koning. Waar het U dit gekoop?

I'm looking at a shelf full of Nexus 7s - £199 for the 16gb wifi.

Incredible Corruption
Dit was 'n dringende koop, maar ek het my N7 ook gewen, so R450 is nie te sleg vir als nie

 

[kimbo]

I bought one of these: http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/113688411/Nexus_7_Black_LEATHER_Rotating_Case.html
Should get it at the end of the week

So it is not just a datamine. My kids love kitkat, so I'm probably at 50.
Hope I win another one. Turns out my wife is the jealous type.:erm:

Lol, I can just picture it "Eat the Kitkat children, EAT THEM ALL!!! Daddy has to win!!!!"

'No! No supper untill you finish your chocolates!'
Luckily there's a loophole - you can use the same barcode more than once. How do they know you didn't buy 7 kit-kats during the day? For the record - the yogurt one is horrible.

 

[JimboBob]

Agree on the yoghurt...

Mint is probably the best.

Anyone know when the 2013 Nexus 7 is going to be released?
