Had to take back the nexus 7 I got for christmas because of the phantom touch and I just scored a G Pad today from new egg for $279 shipped :good:
Anyhow I was wondering if we can flash the GPE rom onto the reg G pad?

its not possible at least for now, maybe someone release it as a custom rom. Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564149
Any places to get a good deal on the G Pad right now ?

Newegg - $279
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834325004
Try the latest build of CM, trust me. It's better than a GPE ROM.
It's really smooth and battery life are great.

Personally, I have been ordering items from Newegg for years now. I have never had a problem with them. Plus usually get quick shipping as a number of items come out of NJ, so I usually get items within a day or two. So far, I have never had to return an item so I can speak to how easy or not they are to deal with in that department. But again, they are my first go to company when ordering tech items.
Forgot to mention, this is where I picked up mine as well. Note, you may receive an unsealed box, however that appears to be how majority of the units have been shipped. I personally observed the same thing with the units at Best Buy. All the units they had in the cage were unsealed as well.

When will there be a stable CM ROM version for this tablet?
Yesterday CM11 M2 (Milestone2) was released - it should be stable enough to use it as your daily ROM
Well considering that LG manufactures the phone and ships it with software installed already... LG gets access to the code. They have to have the software ahead of time to make sure it runs on the hardware.

Hi XDA,
I'm currently staying in Manhattan for another 3 weeks before returning back to New Zealand and wondering if any stores could be expected to repeat the Black Friday (or was it Cyber Monday?) sale price ($299?) for the Eee Pad? Or any tablet for that matter? Is this the done this time of year or have I missed out?
Cheers
January time there will be some for sure, with the release of the Prime.
I picked mine up from Futureshop for $299 on Black Friday.... Looked around today hoping it might be the same price for one for my wife, but nothing... Prime is still listed as pre-order here (Canada) (vs 'sold out') so it looks like they have no reason to drop the price until the Prime comes out. The salesman actually told me to wait... considering they are usually pushy and commission-driven I'll take that as a sign. Either way $299 seems to be the 'target' price for now...
Will post if I see anything...
Happy hunting!

at least they have a good return policy... if it goes on sale in the next little while you can always get the difference... I actually bought two iconias and the transformer at the same time as they were constantly running out of stock. I test drove them all and keep kept checking for sales but because of GPS issues with the iconias I kept the transformer instead (though I did like the build and connectivity of the Acer better. aside from the better screen I also find the transformer to be slightly smoother as well.)
Now running revolver and blades3....
Whatever... enjoy your new transformer!

If your new at this stuff, then do your homework here before you buy. Might save you some headaches as well as factory reset may not clear all personal data.
dudes, that's withing policy that they have written. he did nothing wrong moral, legal, or mischievous. I ts true, due homework always when buying anything that costs so much.. Unfortunately alot of stores don't have real or working display models. on the other hand, and it's always a person ora group that ruins it for the rest of us. just a opinion. happy holidays to you and your families

What's the law about selling a used item as new in the US? Just curious...
Aren't the returns supposed to be returned back to the manufacturer to get refurbished and sold as such?

I love them. Best budget screen protector IMHO. I Get them for literally every phone I get because of the value/quality.
Think about them as a budget zagg. They are not perfect, but for this price they can't be beat. Plus they ship quickly with tracking and are made in the USA

Seriously impressed. And after a few days you dont even notice the screen protector. No Orange peel effect like Zagg. And the crispness of the screen is preserved.

Hey all,
If you notice on my signature I have an iPhone. Nothing to say here. I don't want to get into which OS is best, and the reason for keeping an iPhone for so long.... I have my reasons; anyways, time to move along and the Note II is really teasing me. I have some extra cash before all the huge expenses in December and definitely I want this thing.
Now, I found that a seller at Amazon already has the 16GB version of the Note II. I live in Belize, and I cannot pre-order from US carriers, but I can get anything from the US without any sweat (as long as I have the cash to pay the shipper from US and the import taxes here at home...). So, should I jump the gun on this one or wait till after the official release date in the US?

See if you can purchase from Newegg. They are on sale for $699.99.
Hey thanks guy. That's a fair deal. Thing is, I kinda prefer white as smudges are less visible, and secondly Amazon knows my address is a freight forwarder so I get no Sales Tax charge, whereas I'd believe newegg would.
So I guess you guys see no real benefit in waiting for amazon or Samsung selling these directly... I'll buy it from Amazon then, unless you have a promo code for newegg

the guy has nearly 3000 ratings on ebay , 99.7% positive as well as was very responsive about the questions i asked him about. also mailed me to ask if i wanted overnight for a little more than what i had paid, ended up taking up his offer for $14 all in all $729 paid. id say still cheaper than many of the other sellers.
Are you freaking kidding me. After reading that the guy offered to ship your phone faster for couple more bucks, I went and wanted to email him that proposal. Guess what. This thing shipped 15 minutes after I placed the order....
Well, he deserves kudos indeed. So FedEx says it will be delivered the 10, I hope it makes it the 9th...

I'm loving this new model, but yesterday I wasn't so sure, had a bit of scrolling lag, didn't seem particularly quick, its as if you have to let the device work for a while so it irons out its own little wrinkles, today this tablet has been super smooth, fast and responsive, last night I had a bit of buyers remorse, tonight I'm thinking this thing amazing, highly highly recommend to anyone thinking about it, and if your wondering if its enough of an upgrade from the 1st Nexus then yes... I couldn't go back at all, Google have tool a major step forward with this device, I'm really excites to see what the N10 will be like

I've had a BNIB 32gb sitting in my room since friday. My coworker messaged me before lunch, and we went to the local best buy to go take a look...I ended up buying one on impulse.
Trying to see if buyer's remorse will kick in before the return period, I'm sure it'll be much harder to give up if I actually touch it again...

Personally I don't think its worth the upgrade over the original. But if you have the extra $300 to burn it's a nice tablet. If poetic had their revolution case out I might hang on to mine but I find myself using my old 7 more than the new cause of the case and kickstand.

Well you sell your old one and offset the cost of the new one. ~$100 is worth the upgraded hardware to me.
I'm waiting for a case to come out and find the new one kinda slippery because it is so thin and the rubber is on all sides.
My concern is while the OG N7 is still kicking today, come October it might not fair so well.
I'm a device whore and just love tinkering so I factor that into the difference in cost too.

The thing is, (not that i'm rolling in money here), is that the OG N7 still has more utility than the $100 or so I would get for it. I could dedicate it as a tablet for the kitchen, "public" livingroom tablet, etc etc.
That being said, all I do is watch videos on mine, or maybe browse the internet. All that extra speed won't do me a whole lot of good, but damn did the new N7 feel good in the store.
For me it was a no-brainer upgrade. My 16 GB launch model had long since run out of space (had a 32 GB USB stick along to carry my PS1 games. Sold it on Amazon last week for $130. The $140 difference to upgrade size, screen, speakers, speed, and storage was well worth the cost.

see anandtech mini review:
google has implemented fsTRIM in 4.3. This will manage "garbage collection" during idle cycles and keep the eMMC from becoming slow, and in perhaps may be the reason it seems faster day two.
The caches take some time to settle down. That's the first lesson I learnt when doing cache wipes. So prolly after a bit of use and time, caches have built up and you're running good.

Agreed. The reviews tend to justify the $350 price, but it's just not a magic spot. $299 along with an actual advertising campaign would've sold these things like hotcakes.

That's really a pretty inflamatory question. The same could be said of virtually any retailer that discounts any product on Cyber Monday. Irrespective, Newegg's generous return policy makes it a non sequitur.
