Bought the 16gb from Walmart. $249. Too bad I won't be able to play with it much at work. But looks pretty cool so far. Going to root it tonight when I get home and flash a new ROM. I have 15 days to see if its worth the money.

I don't feel it's necessary to install a different ROM at this point. The kernel is where you want to tweak this device. Also keep in mind that they will not accept a rooted and flashed Nexus 7 if you want to return it, which I highly doubt btw

I returned mine to Walmart rooted unlocked. I'm pretty sure they haven't an idea what root is plus when I bought it the person didn't even know what a nexus was
I didn't think the good people at Walmart would notice if I did all that. Just a hunch. But hopefully I get to keep it.

There is a file that needs to be renamed to .bak in system/ boot recovery something .. if you do not rename that to .bak you will not be able to boot up custom recovery. You tube droid modern x saved my ass last night fought it for over a hour. Running eclipse on it now

Very true, but that depends on the person you get. Visual differences in the software are an easy indication for third party roms.

So far this thing is awesome. I certainly don't need it, but I sure as hell want it!!

I really see no reason to install a ROM because the N7 works fine as is.

root isnt about stuff lacking on your device. root is about having administrative control of your device. it just happens that you can add thing that are lacking, with root. but you dont necessarily need root to add things that are lacking. you can flash roms and kernels without root as long as you have a custom recovery(you dont need root to have a custom recovery and to flash roms/kernels).

U don't need stick mount. If u want usb storage and DONT want to root then u can simply download nexus media Importer for 1.99 on the play store. The app works wonders

Does it truly mount the storage device though, I.e. so its like having a SD card, content appearing in stock apps etc?
Since rooting this device or returning to stock is so unbelievably easy done it just to use stick mount

you can always unroot and lock it again before returning it or RMA
plenty of users have done that. plus google condone rooting, they even made the stock ROM public so users can reflash to original.

Yes it mounts the storage device and u get a notification in the pull down bar. I have access to all my photos, videos, and music. I have not experimented with apps on it tho.

So do many devices. We're at a point, though, where custom ROMs add significant functionality. Check out Paranoid Android. It isn't necessary to have a good device, but man, it can really make things a lot more awesome.
OK...love this thing. Im keeping this. This thing is damn near perfect.

While that might be a nice program for beginners, I don't recommend it in the long run (unless you happen to know how to unlock and root manually already, which even then, you probably don't want to use a toolkit)
It works and most of my xda friends who are getting the new nexus are already rooted in their other devices. It works very well.
Besides, it's pretty difficult to brick a Nexus device.

That's not the point though. While it may work, most people that use toolkits have no idea what it actually does. If they ever do get in a situation where they have to manually root (or use another feature from the toolkit), they are probably going to be clueless...
But don't get me wrong, I too used to use the toolkit when I first got my Nexus 7. But I eventually learned how to do stuff without the toolkit, and I have to say it's pretty cool Knowledge is power
Google really seem to be getting a reaming on japanese blogs/2ch by people who are expecting FedEx to be as flexible as takyuubin companies regarding scheduled/night/weekend delivery.

You should then list your methods here. I have no problem with that. My method worked twice for me for rooting and a third time to add CWM recovery.

Nope, I received mine in 34 hours, 6:30pm on the 26th.
As soon as it hit "at local depot" I rang up customers service and had them set to "hold at facility for pickup".
Japanese customers that have never had any prior experience with FedEx are going to expect to be able to ring up and say "deliver on saturday in the afternoon" like it was Kuroneko Yamato or Sagawa Express and Homey don't play dat.

Ordered mine from Amazon, got it yesterday. Next day shipping, with Amazon Prime, was like $3. Best Buy hasn't even heard of it and keeps trying to push the Samsung Tab 3 on me instead, it might be a bit of a wait if you want to get it from them, they still have the TF700 in my local store. FYI This thing blows my TF700 out of the water.
I'm torn what to do. Galaxy tab plus BT keyboard, keep my tf700 or get tf701

Just make sure where ever you buy it you can RETURN IT! Its nice to read what others say but NEVER go by that. Review it yourself. Playing this this and others and the new Kendle hds 8.9 (I know not really the same). The sound alone on the Kendle WOW thats what tablets should sound like. Then go back to the one speaking TF701.. ouch its just awful
With all these mini-stores opening up within Best Buy: Samsung, Microsoft, etc. perhaps Best Buy needs an Asus store.

The update is not automatic. You have 2 choices, ignore the update message or disable MotorolaOTA if you have root.

My s pen broke inside the slot on my note 5, but I can't send it to Samsung because I use it heavily for managing work and home stuff. Fyi, the pen physically breaking inside my phone left the phone unusable. Only after removing service from the phone did it begin to function properly. Anyone know where I can get a s pen online?
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
If you call samsung support they can send you one im pretty sure. That seems to be the only solution at this point.
U lost me. So your pen broke inside the phone and that made your phone not work? Then u de activated the phone and it worked?
I guess to answer your question some stuff to ask is were u able to get the broken part out? Or is it stuck inside? If its out im sure samsung can send u a new one and u can use the phone while u wait on it. If its stuck in there what service do u use? Are u in the unites states? Give us some more info. I use sprint. They have repair centers that u can pop into and let them work on your phone.
Ebay has some oem s pens for the note 5 for around 20$

Thanks for the quick reply and situ for the confusion... I did manage to get the broken part of the s pen out of my phone. I am on sprint as well. Yes, my phone went to a flashing green screen until I deactivated it and went back to my note 2. Then I go back to get my 5 to box it up to send back to Samsung and, presto, it's fine. The s pen breaking inside it caused some weird conflict that I guess the phone couldn't handle. I consider myself pretty savvy with electronics, but I've never seem anything like this before.

I lost my spen and tried that call to SAMSUNG to see if they can send me a new spen. Unfortunately I was told that it does not fall under warranty. Was told to buy one on AMAZON, which I had to do and I'm waiting for. Prepare to fork over at least & $30+
Ebay has a lot of them....
