I guess they are doing the comment thing for pre orders again and I missed out, again. Anyone expecting a link and not going to buy one? I would love to be able to pick one up.

Out of curiosity, which model are you looking to get?
The pixel qi wifi model. They were sold out by the time the pre orders were done last time

LCD with WIFI version
I have the same problem but I dont care wich model i love all models
S if someone have a link plz PM me
Thanks
Its a long shot because we have to hope that someone from the other sites that is going to get a link visits these forums and isn't going to need it.
At this point I think I would settle for the base model, and they lated through pre order last time.

Not sure if I will get a preorder link or not. I have posted on several of the forums, but two blogs I seem to constantly be waiting for moderation o don't know if I will be on the list.
Definitely want in on one, but if by some miracle I get extra, what can I say xda has always been good to me from my axim days through N1!
I'm just waiting for the emails to go out

Wifi + Pixel Qi
I'm waiting that one too!! I'm reading here and there that we have to wait until the MWC get start (14th February). That's a long time...
I've posted on others of the forums, and my order is scheduled to ship on the 29th, so if I get another pre order invite I'll be sure to remember you guys.
Hi.
I'm looking for a Nexus 7 but I can't seem to find any place which can ship to Denmark, I stumbled across Clove but £224 for the 8 gig version is just too much.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Got mine from eBay with next day ups delivery to central cph a week ago and its perfect
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
my honest answer is DONT!!!!
At the moment there is to many hardware issues with the device.
-Screen separation
-Screen Flicker
-Light bleads
Imagine. on average (on xda) people are replacing their n7 about 2 times.
how much money youre going to spend on postage just to get a good unit?
Fair enough you might get a good unit at first time but you never know.
just wait till its going to be released in your country.
I was planning on buying online but decided not to just due to the cost of sending it back (for example had my Galaxy nexus shipped back twice and had to pay for it).
Oh well, I might wait.
Does these problems really occur that often
What did you pay for yours on eBay?

well if you look through the topics there is more issues than positive things here.
main problem on n7 is screen flickering. this is definitely hardware issue and everyone has that, however, not everyone is so OCD about it. I'm on my 3rd one now and I have screen separation (it doesnt bother me that much tho as i can sort it out myslef), however there is "microscopic" flickering. 95% of people I would show it to probably wont even notice it yet to me its just friggin pain in the ass.

Because those who are happy with their device, don't post. They're busy enjoying their devices. Don't discourage others who will more than likely get a perfect device because a select few who have problems. It is very unfortunate that you have had problems and I hope you finally get one that you are pleased with.
As for the flicker. It is not 'definitely' hardware. The one x had similar issues with the tegra 3 GPU. It was solved with an ota update. I had that issue and my one x is perfect now. We in the one x forums were certain it was hardware. Loads of flaming and difference of opinions and it was sorted with a small update - I hope you guys with issues will get the same treatment.

Well if I have to buy from eBay I might just wait till it hits Denmark, >200£ is just too expensive for my taste.
Hey guys, I bought my N7 4 days ago but it wasn't from a retail store or google play. It was from craigslist. I was fortunate enough, or I thought I was but my unit has none of the problems a lot of you guys been getting, assuming I probably got it from the new batch but that was until earlier when I was playing Soulcraft THD and I was pressing down the left side with a bit of force with my thumb and I heard the screen make that sponge/squeaky sound. There is no screen lift or anything major at all. The only other problem(minor) issue I have with my N7 is that the screen flickers at low brightness(40% and below) while it is loading an app or a website on chrome but I read that the issue could be software related so I'm not too worried about that, will just have to wait for a update.
My real question is did I make a mistake from buying it from that person on CL now that I have a problem with my N7 or do I just contact Google about the issue?
Thanks in advance guys, hope everyone is loving there N7 as much as I do!
Well, if you contact Google, they will probably refer you to Asus since you didn't buy it from the Play store. I would call Asus and just check on the warranty. If they say no, they say no. Can't hurt to call though.

I bought it brand new unopen, so I'm pretty sure it does have warranty correct?
Manufacturer warranty from Asus, not warranty from google unless you have an order number with them.

I seem to still have their number, I will give him a text right now! Actually the seller was just a friend helping out his buddy to sell the N7. I hope he still has receipt.
Is it rooted? If it is, restore it, according to them your warranty is void'wjen you unlock the boot loader.

hey guys sorry for being a complete noob at this. Almost all electronics I've ever bought has never given me a problem so I don't go through returns/rma often. I just got a copy of the receipt for my Nexus 7, its in pdf file what is the next step for me to do? It was purchased on the 29th of July at Office Max.
Why don't you just have the seller do an exchange from office Max? If that's not too much trouble.

okay so I called one store and they told me no I can't do it, the original buyer has to. I called another store and they said I could do it myself but they charge a 15% restocking fee...I don't want to pay for that, they are also out of stock so no point of me going there then whats my next best option?

I'm not sure but since Asus has a 1 year warranty on their products, I think you can get them to RMA it. you will have to pay for shipping to them though.
however I seem to recall some people saying Asus said you have to go thru Google to RMA it, so I'm not 100% positive. let me know what Asus says.
Hey guys, has anyone worked out a way to expand the N4 storage? I got the 8GB and I never expected to get into mobile gaming so much (with my new game klip) so all the GTA's, max payne, ps1 roms etc take up far too much space, and I was wondering if there was a solution.
I've seen the one that plugs into the bottom of the phone but there is no retail version of this, I'm quite tech savvy so if there was a way to open the nexus and replace the storage I'd be up for that.

If it were not for the fact the N4 cannot supply power for OTG devices, you can use things such as this
To actually get it (or any external storage) you would need some sort of power supply, so more cables.
You could do a 8 > 16gb conversion. It'll cost quite a lot though.

The conversion? I don't think you need one. You basically need to replace the main board. I remember seeing one but I can't really find it now.

Think of it from a business stand point. You could take in a second hand unit, but you'd have to sell it with a second hand rate. If you buy back the unit for a cheaper price, the consumer would be unhappy.
It's just not happening. I highly doubt it.
Hi google, My N4 is broken within warranty, you will likely have to replace or repair it. the consumer will get a brand new replacement of the 8gb version but is offering to pay the difference for a 16gb version (profit).
Makes sense to me? they're making money.

I bought a new Nexus 7, returned it today due to screen problems, and ordered a new one from Best Buy that I should get tomorrow or Thursday.
I was wondering what you guys have done with your old Nexus 7 or any recommendations on what I should do with mine. Mine is 32GB and still perfectly functional. I was thinking about using it as a media server but I'm not sure how useful that would be. I'd rather not have it just sit here and collect dust.
Thanks ahead of time.
Sell it.

Why not using it with the daydream? An expensive alarm clock with weather notifications, along with some other stuff and as such it can also collect dust!

Try to impress a date and bring it with you on a boat, only to fall into the water (happened to me.)
But seriously,
1. Ebay if you want to sell it fast, tho you probably won't get as much as you want for it, plus ebay and paypal fees sting.
2. Craigslist if you want to risk getting robbed.
3. Give to niece/nephew if you have them as a christmas present.
4. Keep it and wait 20 years until it becomes a collectors item, then sell it for bookoo bucks!!
5. Learn to develop games/apps with it.
6. Use it as a coaster.

I only suggest using the old one to dev on just in case something goes completely wrong and it gets ruined. I don't know much about android development, so I don't know if its even possible to brick the N7, but just as a cautionary measure, I would rather use an older device than a brand new one JUST IN CASE.
In the same boat as you, have no clue about development, was just curious. But now that I too have an old nexus lying around maybe I'll look into it!

Oh, it's possible. Believe you me, you can do it. It's just a bit harder to kill a Nexus device in most situations.
I can confirm it makes a great coaster. I'm starting to lose interest in flashing new ROMs every few months, but I may repurpose my Nexus 7 into a HUD unit of sorts to mount over my desk.
