Hi,
Any experience of using US version of Nexus 7 in India? Everything works fine? I heard many apps disappeared and some other Play Store problems when US version was used in some other countries, any such experience specifically in India?
Thanks.
Anyone??

I am using nexus7 since last week. I purchased it from UK. Its a good little device. I activated it after reaching India. I didn't get any free play store credit. Also there was neither Google books nor movies app and widget in my nexus. I tried installing apk of Google books but I received a message that its already installed. Couple of days back I formatted it and then activated it by using UK vpn. Then I got option of using play store credit. I also got Google books n transformer movie. However when I deactivated my VPN , movies app disappeared even though Google books remained. Anyway most important thing is that it has got international warranty. I spoke to Asus India and they asked for serial number of nexus 7 and after that they confirmed that nexus 7 has international warranty which is valid in India.
I ordered mine from Purenexus, it's an eshop on Facebook. Was delivered within 10 days of placing the order. Great service! Highly recommended.
Me also ordered it yesterday!!
Good to know that it was delivered within 10 days!! waiting anxiously for mine!! 16GB one!

N7 [email protected] Rs.14831 - Indiatimes Discount Price
Hi all. I just placed an order @ Indiatimes as they have promo running till 20th Aug. Use Coupon Code SETMEFREE at checkout to know your special discount. Offer Valid till 20th August.
Links - Nexus 7 8GB Nexus 7 16GB
I wanted to hold out till October or the year end before making this purchase, once Nexus 7 is released in India but with the promo like this I just couldn't resist. You have 0% EMI on HDFC and ICIC Credit Cards too and that sweetens the deal even more !! Why wait till Nexus is released in India when I can buy this right now ?
I cannot wait for the tablet. Will post the review later
Just hit the UK and Europe and it's pretty awesome, it has a lot of offer and since I usually illegally download my music, I no longer have to (I refuse to use iTunes, I know there are alternatives). This is great news and its about time too. What do my fellow Europeans think? Pricing is also more competitive than I imagined. Good job Google :good:
Note you can't buy anything yet but you can browse and see the pricing.
One other awesome thing to know, the Music Manager is now available on Linux!

I've been using it for a while, just hadn't had the ability to browse the store and buy stuff.
Single tracks look a bit expensive compared to the cost of the full album but I like the look of the album prices.
Similar artists had some weird suggestions, I eventually had it giving g Mark Owen>Debbie Harry>Victoria Beckham. Still a nice feature even if it did recommend Victoria Beckham.

I've been comparing Play Music to iTunes and Googles offering is much cheaper.
Single tracks on both iTunes and Play Music average at about £0.79 to £0.99 with the occasional iTunes song dipping to to £0.59 and peaking at £1.89. This is from what I've seen so far. Play Music is a lot more consistent.
Albums seem to be cheaper on Google Play, most of the albums I have checked seem to be about £1 to £2 cheaper. That's a huge saving if you by a lot of music. I anticipate to spend at least a hundred quid over the next week, buying all the music I pirated.
Wasn't play music supposed to release in Canada as well as Europe?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Google said Canada and Australia are coming later this year or early 2013.
I like it. Prices are ok, and encourage album sales, and play store is nice to browse.
Was expecting it it be 'meh'. May have to get Floyd dsom first as is just rude to buy anything else before it.

Have you compared to Amazon MP3? For the sort of music I buy amazon is consistently cheaper and offers the same cloud playback functionality and tune matching (although you have to pay £20 a year for a lot of tune matching).
Another potential benefit of buying from Amazon is you can download the tracks, then upload them to Google Music and enjoy the (more reliable) cloud streaming
Yay finally they release it to the UK.
With regards to your Amazon questions, Amazon sells tracks cheaper however buying the whole album is usually about £0.50 - £1.00 cheaper from Play Music.
I think it does depend on the sort of thing you buy, every album I looked at was cheaper on amazon also but I guess we might have different tastes!
Worth shopping around either way, they both support matching music so can just upload to your cloud streamer of choice.

Yes and I think a price matching script would be in order from someone.
I have a problem with the new UK service, suspect its down to my account being previously activating via proxy to allow me to access my music account and upload music for streaming some months before the service went live here in the UK. I cannot now purchase anything from the site, it takes me from the UK site in £GBP to the US site to complete the transaction in US$ and then won't accept my UK credit card or UK activated Google Wallet balance.
I've contacted Google support and their answer today is that "I must be a US customer to buy music..." clearly the support agent doesn't know his arse from his elbow
Anyone else got this issue and worked out how to solve it? I've got over 5000 tracks uploaded and so would not want to lose them if I had to create a new account.
Would also add... I'm not getting the 'music match' service... music is still being uploaded track by track (music manager version 1.0.51.1573)... only 17k tracks to go to my limit!!

OK so I fixed this - turns out my US credit card had been changed to default somehow?
Still not seeing the 'Music Match' service - has anyone got this working?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Been looking for that.. a lot of the mp3s I have are a bit ropey and music match is ideal for sprucing them up. I can only find the standard upload service.
Is anyone else having issues launching the Music Manager app on OSX? It doesn't do anything...
South America??

Nope, nothing yet. I saw them say something like "Please don't email/phone us about dispatch dates for z1 owners who are getting a free sw2 as it will just give us more to do" on their blog or twitter or something though.
Good to know I'm not the only one but it's frustrating!
I just got an email from them saying that they expect to ship all of the smart watches by the end of the week.

Hi,
I also ordered an Xperia Z1 through the smartwatch 2 offer on clove. My smartwatch 2 hasn't shipped out yet, but I received an email from them saying that it should ship by by the end of the week. The only problem is that on the website it says that the black silicone strap is sold out. Does this mean that everyone whose order has not been dispatched yet has to wait for new stock to arrive, or does it just mean that there is no stock for new orders?
Can't wait for it to arrive!
I got mine today (UK). EBay methinks, will help offset the cost of the phone simply free.

I too had the smartwatch offer with clove. Got no dispatch email but despite that it turned up this morning! Actually really like it. It's simple and is not trying to be too clever. I'm using watchit which pushes all notifications to the watch seamlessly. Wasted £5 on the smartwatch augmentation thing. Didn't really get it. Watchit is much easier and free too! It looks fine on the wrist too. Even the wife thought it looked good! I was also surprised how many apps are available. Most are pretty useless but I think it's a good sign for the future.
In the few hours I've used it I would say it's actually been quite useful as a remote notification device. It also means I can keep my phone on silent which is nice as it annoys the wife. You just get a nice gentle vibration on your wrist which feels fine. Haven't missed anything yet. The only issue for me is not being able to do much when you get a notification. For example, you can see emails but can't delete them. In the end you always have to go to the phone. What I've realized is that I'm opening the phone much less now. Which is good.
Would just like to amend the comment about the app augmented smartwatch pro. It's actually very good and does a lot more than watchit. For example it allows me to control Google music. Watchit does not. My point should have been that I wanted the watch simply as a notification device. The augmented thing does that, I just believe watchit does it better. Just slightly annoying that I spent a fiver on an app to control Google music! Oh well.

Thanks for the info, I guess I won't buy augmented smartwatch then. Hopefully my watch will arrive tomorrow or friday.
Preordered mine from Amazon UK on the 17th of September. The site says is been in stock since October 1st but it hasn't dispatched yet
Then again, I AM in Australia... ETA is the 5th but I really doubt that it can get here in one day
Haven't gotten mine yet. I read the questions and answers on their blog today that said no one will be getting an individual email that their watches have shipped. Once they're done with all orders from the Z Ultra and Z1 then one mass email will go out. You may get your watch before you get an email.
Bottom line: be patient. Le'sigh
Got my watch but, it's corrupted can't even access the home screen just the clock....
I got mine yesterday, haven't used it other than to check it powers on.
Received mine today. Shows it was dispatched on 9/27/13 via Royal Mail.
Took literally less than 2-3 minutes to set up and start using. It's a little big for a woman's wrist but I don't mind.

The woman who gets the mail here at work is at lunch so I can't confirm if it came USPS. I'm going to assume that it did because there is no 3rd party courier information on the packaging itself.
Updated to add: Confirmed this was delivered by USPS.
Has anyone who got their Z1 directly from EE received their watch yet?
yep got mine as well today usps
Is this phone even going to make an appearance on the US Sony Site? I have a decent amount in Sony rewards points I'd like to use towards a phone for work (need something smaller than my Ultra), and I'm debating between just getting the Z on T-Mobile or waiting for the Z1 LTE.
Um..I don't think you can use points to get phones...

During the checkout process on the Sony Store, I have the option of signing into my rewards account and using points toward the purchase. I doubt the UK store would work with the rewards let alone ship to the US.

I was in NYC a few weekends ago and asked a TMobile store about this phone and they sounded like they weren't going to get it anytime soon. Their Sony rep told them that the Ultra was the flagship for the rest of 2013. Though I just saw another thread where someone said it will be in Sony stores Oct 15 in North America

So I was luckily able to buy a Nex 6 from Motorola a few weeks ago. I did notice today though on the play store page for the Nex 6 you get benefits such as free Google play all access for 6 months. So does the one I bought from Motorola receive these things or not?
I did the same I would like to know as well.

No but one plus is that you can buy motocare insurance which is pretty cheap as far as insurance goes.

I got mine from motorola today, I can confirm that you get 6 months play access free, as well as the free movie download (gravity) and a free e-book. I also plan on buying motocare, it's $139 up front for 2 years and allows 3 replacements for $39 a pop.
edit: this does not apply if you are already a subscriber or, I believe, have used the other free month trial.
