Please note that upon further investigation I am showing that your parcel was delayed in export and will not be in-country until Dec 22nd at which time it will clear customs and be delivered to you. We are truly sorry for this matter and for the lack of communication on this from our end.

This is the reply I got from I parcel. 22nd Dec??? U got to be kidding me..........

My parcel was shipped out exported out on 6th Dec too, was supposed to get it on 13th Dec, but no news on it. I livechat with Amazon and they confirmed with me that it was delayed by SG custom and will only be delivered on Monday.
The Amazon CS also mentioned that if it's not delivered by 16th Dec, they will send a replacement or refund.
I am ok with the delay, but the sucky thing is, that's no update on the delivery status from Iparcel. :(

What problem are you facing?

There are 2 models of Nexus 7 LTE. "US", and "Non-US" (aka rest of the world). The 3G bands for both models are identical, and you should be able to connect to 3G data just fine regardless which model you have.

M1 have commercial HSPA+ service throughout the island with download speeds up to 28.8 Mbit/s. Plans only have a peak speed of 21 Mbit/s however. (Wikipedia: List of HSPA+ networks)

Check your APN. In some Android phones, M1 data-only sims would default to the GPRS APN. Check to make sure you're connecting to 'sunsurf' instead.

LTE in Singapore uses bands 3 and 7. The US Nexus 7 LTE sets support band 3, but not 7. It will work fine, but you'll generally have poorer LTE coverage here. In areas with only Band 7 coverage, your tablet will fall back to 3G instead. If you would like better LTE coverage, your only option would be to sell your tablet, and buy a non-US version instead.

My reply from I-parcel. Standard copy and paste answer :s39:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting i-parcel.
Your parcel has exported and it is currently in transit to country destination.
After it arrives in country destination and clears customs, your parcel will go the last mile carrier Singapore Post for final delivery to you.
You can then track it with Singapore Post using local tracking number IPAR101xxxxx.
This typically takes about 3 business days to process and then arrive with Singapore Post; however we have been notified to expect a slight delay at this time. Your parcel should update with Singapore Post in the next few days.

Kind Regards,

Beth

Really? Do post links to these many other complaints that you've found please.

At this time, I would guess you have a faulty unit instead. You can try narrow it down by borrowing a Singtel or Starhub data SIM and see if it works.

If it does not, then it's likely your unit is faulty. However, if it does, it could be you need a replacement M1 sim card instead.

Do you guys think that there would be another sale on Amazon for the Nexus 7 2013 when Christmas is getting nearer?

Or am I just being too hopeful for a sale?

Like dreant said, US set supports LTE 1800Mhz in SG. Is your M1 plan LTE enabled or only 3G/HSPA plan only? Check that you are using sunsurf APN, and if your plan is not enabled for LTE, only 3G/HSPA, change your connecting mode from LTE to 3G, it may help.


how to change your mode from LTE to 3G:
