*** Nexus 7 2nd Gen thread ***

Not sure if its been asked but there seem to be a few on Ebay for £190 with free postage (uk based). Which is £10 below the expected RRP, i'd have thought they'd be sold at a premium due to the demand.

Are these dodgy or is this where people are buying from until PCW get stock in.

do you know how ebay works?

seriously, it's a top rated seller with a score of 16836 and 99.9% positive reviews.

they have also sold over 250 of them.

i imagine that makes them pretty safe tbh.

if they weren't a top rated seller then i would be looking at their positive reviews to be over 90% minimum and also have a minimum score of 500.

Well I'll be... They delivered it 5 minutes ago.

I can't wait to get home now haha.

I posted my complaint with Etailer on Friday and still haven't heard anything.

They are awesome.

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but i'm pretty new to android. Am I right to assume rooting would void warranty?

Thanks

For peace of mind I'd buy it from somewhere that it's easy and hassle free to return if/when a fault occurs.

Yup, £7.

Oh well, it's a steal for £7 then!

technically yes, but since it's a software thing, it can be undone pretty easily and there would be no way to prove it had been previously rooted

It's arrived!

EDIT - Boy it's sleek and classy.

How long does the setup take? Ideally I want mine rooted and unlocked the moment it's out of the packaging.

 

[kona786]

setup takes 2 seconds.

This is the smoothest Android device I've ever used. Literally not one stutter.

Play Store front stutters - but that's due to the app not the OS + Hardware.

Colour me very impressed with the smoothness.

The screen is sharp yes. But with me being a SAMOLED worshipper, the colours of this LCD are a bit too pale. And the viewing angles are better on the HTC One iirc.


EDIT - Colour comparison with GS4

Spoiler

Just love the GS4 screen.

Well mine going on a trip to Asus for repair (hopefully).

What's wrong with it?

It's a piece of cake. I just got a SGS4 and had to spend an hour or so getting a better ROM for it as it's so appalling out of the box. The Nexus 7 is so much simpler and properly set up out of the box.

It did stuff like turn off menu sounds and sync all my known networks once I'd connected to google (as well as the obvious calendars/emails etc), which was a nice touch. I really appreciated it as the Galaxy S4 even went as far as disconnecting me from my own network and then trying to install updates via the mobile network (I was probably just unlucky, but I do hate the Samsung apps so much)

[agnes]

Oooooooooo it's so perty!!!!

Had 6 screen protectors, the 5th attempt was the closest to perfection... The 1p case is pretty cack on it haha. But it will do for now.

Time to root and unlock it!

 

[Buckster]

Ipad is gathering dust.

I need more portability.

 

[agnes]

So, unlocked and rooted.

However, system update haha... Should I update?
