Was having some problems with my N7 screen. Took it to the Asus store and they gave me a 10lb. weight to put on it when not in use. Fits my needs. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Yay, my N7 is shipping, only a full month after I excitedly preordered it & only a week & a half after you could walk into most stores to pick one up off the shelf with no shipping cost. Excitedly awaiting it to turn up with the screen completely separated, possibly not even in the box, with no serial numbers.

So I rooted and unlocked my nexus in order to mount usb otg drives. Can I still get Google's ota updates?

Yeah, The first thing I did when I got mine is root, and the update to 4.1.1 worked just fine after. I'm not sure if Google is in the habit of disabling root with otas, but if you have SuperSu or OTA RootKeeper installed that shouldn't be an issue.

People talk about this, but when I actually did a search, the only thing I could come up with was Newegg refusing a return because the sticker was missing. I couldn't find any actual instance where Asus refused warranty support over the sticker. I did, however, find an instance where someone explicitly said that they had an RMA with Asus go fine even though the sticker wasn't on their tablet. So, I'm going to say this is the internet telephone game inventing and inflating problems that aren't actually there.

For those who have rooted their N7, did you use the backup option in the program and does it work? I'd like to root in order to install the adblocker, but I've already downloaded and setup lots of apps that I'd prefer to keep.

IT Guy posted:Edit: So after trying to call Google for an exchange all day Friday and this morning with no luck and sending two emails with no response, I finally found a different contact method. For anyone looking to setup an exchange, don't even bother contacting the seller number in the Google Wallet transaction. Instead just call this number: 1-855-83-NEXUS 4 minutes on hold, 2 minutes on the call, didn't even want my serial number, just my email address attached to Play. Thanks for the number! I should have a replacement soon.

I'm wondering if (with time) there will be a root option that doesn't wipe all your data. If that's the case I'll just wait it out.

It was my goony gut reaction after seeing the story pop up. I usually don't post about stuff as soon as I read it but this time I did. You and Starrett are correct. It's a savvy (if not a bit slow) move on Google's part. I'm still just bitter about the 7's release and grousing that they're not pandering to me.

You're going to hate it no matter how awesome and well-glued it may be, but luck is on your side. In my area, the 8GB model is going for $250 and the 16 is $300. These are unopened, I should add. Do yourself a favor and don't check for screen lift and missing serial number stickers and you could make a healthy profit from this terrible tragedy.

I still sent them a proper grognard letter about my poor customer service experience. The only 2 issues I have are getting round to installing swype, and my streak being shown up for the utter slab of crap it always has been. On the plus side I think I'll replace it with a much smaller phone when I retire it now I've got this as well.

Well that case looks interesting. Is there a PDF of the Nexus 7 Quick Start Guide anywhere? I'm stuck without it and I'm trying to unlock & root mine, and when it's restarting from the factory reset it's stuck at the search for wifi networks. So I'm trying to skip past that but there's no option to do that.

I noticed the UK play store had the 16gb n7 so I ordered one - it said to wait 2-5 business days to ship, then 2 business days for the postage. It came less than 24hrs later  hopefully some words of confidence for those who want to cut out the middleman. Can't wait to play with it after work!
