Google Nexus 7 2nd generation

[Teo Ming Ern]

hey guys,

So far Android and Nexus proves disappointing, both in the "common sense" of interface, as well as usability (i come from iOS environment).

Take for example, In play store, even though I set "Auto-update apps" to be "Auto-update apps at any time", none of my apps are automatically updated.

Right out of the box, after the system update, the native apps required updating, and i have to do it manually one by one, even though I set it to be automatic... Am I missing something here?

You don't know how to use it?

You don't know how to use it?

perhaps, first time trying out android mah, please enlighten me on why cannot auto update apps even after I enable it. I am talking about native apps, not even those that I download after system update.

Just curious why ppl still selling 16gb at 350 when we can order online with free shipping to sg. 229usd about sgd300 nia.

Do you think I would be able to sell my 2012 Nexus 7 to a second hand shop?

Any idea on how much it would fetch?

Price should be pretty low. Now new 32gb wifi selling 249.

No point selling just keep and use lo

 

[trd2970]

are you guys mostly ordering the 16 or 32gb version?
16GB = $290
32GB = $341
Prices are from Amazon x 1.35 exchange - 6% rebate

Is the $51 worth it for the extra space?
How much does the system consume by default out of the box?
Will most likely be using it to surf net, read news (ST android app) and games. This will be my first tablet

6% rebate from?

hmmm not sure leh maybe till next week ba i think they really screwed up yours cause i see other bro's timing by now yours should have already reach you. The tracking number is it for the iparcel tracking number ?

Yes, they screwed up my order. They gave me a local tracking number, not iparcel tracking number.

Anyway I just got an update from iparcel tracking website. From 4 Sep until 13 Sep, my parcel was rotting in US. Only today then they export the parcel out, and I email them to check yesterday, then today got update.

iparcel is really a piece of sh*t.

Hi, anyone using vpost? I'm a bit worried now after placing my order on Amazon a few days ago. Reason is that I had checked my Amazon account this afternoon and it reflected that my package was delivered to the vpost overseas address. However, after login to my vpost account, it shown that there's no package on hold. Worse is that I found that my amazon address does not match my vpost address ( I believe that vpost had changed the address without notifying me). Does that mean I'm screwed?
