[Q] First time tablet owner

A real noob here. Will be receiving a N7 32gb for Xmas. Is there a decent reference/how to book for a first time tablet owner and specifically an N7 owner? Thanks

Just search here in xda for any questions that you have and ask around. You can also search the internet with any questions you may have. Alot of my questions regarding my N7 i found here.

The Nexus 7 comes with a guidebook. When you first log into your device you will see the guide book. It will give you basic knowledge of the device.
As for other questions just search this forums. Cause I'm sure the question has been asked before. If you don't get a case with it for Christmas. Don't forget to buy a really nice case for it.
Maybe even try to get a screen protector for it if you can.

Welcome and great choice.
For a noob, this thread has tons of videos.
Nexus 7 Reviews and Tips Videos

Don't mean to beat a dead horse but here is my two cents....
It depends what kind of info you are looking for. If you simply are looking for info on how to use a tablet in general the included nexus 7 eBook is your best bet. If your looking for more in depth info, or wish to do more with the device (root, ROM, etc.) Xda is your best friend. The nexus 7 was my first device EVER and with the help of these forums I am now running full linario-andriod and working on developing my own custom Roms. I highly recommend reading around the forums for more info if your interested in learning more about the all the things you can do with this device, but it can be somewhat overwhelming if your not into it. Sorry to over-answer your question just thought I would clarify previous posts.
Hope you enjoy your nexus 7... I know I have

Desperately need this for Nexus 7

Hello everyone. I must apologize if this thread does not belong her. I just desperately need help. I have posted a similar thread in another category but I think it didn't get much attention so I'll repost it here.
"I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software/app. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 2012 (now rooted via wugfresh's toolkit).
Thanks and more power! "

Brand New Xperia Z

Hello everyone,
First of, i did somewhat read the forum rules.. but i couldn't find a specific part that explained if what i'm about to do is the correct way.
I myself have the Xperia Z since februari this year and i'm quite satisfied with the phone.
Yesterday i sort of 'won' the exact same phone, we had a sony incentive wich allowed you to win a certain sony phone/accessory. Since i'm already an owner of the phone i'm willing to sell this one quite cheap.
Like the title of the thread shows, the phone is brand new and unused.
I know XDA has a lot of international users, but i live in the Netherlands.
Mod Edit: XDA is not the place for selling
For the administrators, if this was placed at the wrong place please notify me and i will (if you can't/won't) move it to the right place.
Grtz. Jitse

hope you find a buyer soon.

You probably missed it, but as per rule number 7, offering devices for sale is not allowed on XDA any more. Try eBay or your local equivalent of Craigslist etc.

2 Moto X codes for 2 helpful XDA members

I have two Moto X $150 off codes that expire at midnight tonight.
I'd like to give them to two board members who have been helpful.
Post a link in the thread to something helpful you contributed in the last week - answering someone's question, posting a review on a product, whatever.
I've got meetings all morning, and will pick two before I go to lunch and send out codes.

Great way to distro them. I'm in need but usually don't post a lot on xda only in PMs.
Stinkin s4 went for a swim yesterday.

[Review][Share] OnePlus One Review – Is it still worth buying?

I brought one for myself a few days back, and now I do feel "why did I miss buying this?".
Here is a review I wrote about the OnePlus One, which might help the gonna-be owners get an idea of what comes and why it is a decent choice in the price range.
I am sharing what I wrote today, and I hope you will like
