*sigh* just opened and has backlight bleed...organised a return.

On the plus side the rma was quick and painless and I have already got a replacement on order. Fingers crossed it doesn't have it, sucks that quality control is so suspect.

I've got some bleed but not that much !

Do I just call and say its bleeding ?

Got a link to a guide? All I am wanting is root permission, no fancy roms or gubbins.

Used the Windows fast boot drivers from here (if you're using a Mac or Linux you don't need these): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997227

Then I ran the file here once I entered bootloader mode (hold volume down + up + power switch and it will reboot into bootloader mode): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938

Short guide of what I did:

1) Download the Windows fastboot drivers (Nexus10RootNew) and bat file (r1-nexus10-superboot) from the two XDA links onto the PC and extract them
2) While unplugged, hold down the volume down + volume up + power button on the Nexus 10, a few seconds later it will reboot into bootloader mode
3) Plug the Nexus 10 to the PC, use the USB cable suppled to ensure nothing goes wrong
4) Windows will now complain it couldn't find drivers. Go to device manager, find the device, right click, update driver, then go to the Nexus10RootNew folder and then select the usb_driver folder, the fastboot drivers will now be installed
5) Go to the r1-nexus10-superboot folder then run the super_windows.bat file. Once it's done, the Nexus 10 will then reboot, and will be fully rooted :)

With this method your Nexus will not be wiped since the bootloader stays locked, and should also mean you'll still get OTA updates.




After playing around with it a bit more, Android System is no longer the big battery sucker. It's now the screen :p. Charging seems better now because of it, must've been some google services doing some crazy stuff in the background. There also seems to be a few apps incompatible according to the Play store such as TVCatchup, but after extracting it from my phone it works fine.

Still waiting for Google to organise collection of my other N10, stupidly they didn't organise a pickup when they delivered the replacement.

I'm away from home so I hope the backlight is acceptable on the replacement.

I thought that i would be OK with the bleed on mine but its just getting annoying so I think ill get it replaced.
 
Guys, Have you checked your Play Movie store ?

Google has given a free film, which is ICE AGE !

I thought I had bought it and was checking my account history and I couldnt find anything so I looked at the reviews it was given free.

I called 0800 328 6081, it is answered in America but they seem to deal with the returns for UK too. I called today for a replacement as mine won't charge.

They send you an email with a print out and an RMA link to get the ball rolling.

That might explain the big picture of the ice age mammal on one of the home screens then :D
