Hi all,
I'm both a newbe to this forum and a relative neophyte to cell phones. Anyway, by 0900 on December the 16th I walked out of Best Buy with a shiny (literally) new Nexus in my pocket. Love it, but for me it had a steep learning curve. As a step towards getting proficient with my new best friend I made a menu flow chart, which I find beneficial.
I will attempt to upload it in case any of you are interested, or can add to or edit for corrections.
Burt
Ironically I cannot open that file on my nexus one.

This is my second attempt at this thread, as the last one was irretrievably derailed by people who were too lazy to start their own thread to discuss what they wanted to discuss and decided it would be easier to hijack mine instead.
So... if you know of a place (such as a shop) where the HD2 is available for demonstrations, accessible to members of the general public, please post here.

You have to admit that the original title was hopefully misleading, and the derailed topic was also a much more interesting one for most people.
The new (original) one is also a bit strange - which country are you interested in? Would you care if the place were in Moscow? Would I care if it were where you live? Maybe you'd want to make the thread title a bit more specific to avoid reading stuff you don't really need?
Cheers!

The content of the initial post made the intent very clear. I wouldn't have minded a certain amount of digression in the direction of testers' experiences, but it's annoying to have the thread's entire function subverted in favour of that.
So quit trying to hijack this one as well, please.

Personally I'm interested in places in London, England; but I imagine other people reading this thread will be interested in demos in other places, and I see no reason why they shouldn't be catered for too; that was certainly my original intention.
Yes, please remember that XDA is a global resource.
Please post the city and country in any replies.
I suggest a format something like:
Australia, Sydney, Parramatta, <Shop Name & address if relevent>
Right, come on everybody, I want to get a demo of an HD2 and find out whether or not I can type on its keyboard! I've never been able to type with any accuracy on a touch-screen phone keyboard so far, but there's got to be a first time!
So, where in London can I get a working demo?
I Never Knew I Needed One - Tottenham Court Road - Open 'til 9pm tonight.
I've bought from them many times in the past...
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/
I pre-ordered mine from there (Inkino) and they called me this afternoon to say the stock should arrive about now (@6.30ish)
When I ordered it the price was £499.95. I have just had another look on their site and the price has changed to £534.95....
Well, I was in Inkino (which is actually on Great Russell Street, not Tottenham Court Road) at around 6.30pm but their delivery guy was stuck in traffic and I had to head home before he got there. Hmph.
I'll maybe head back in a couple of days.
I had a quick play with the dummy version; provisional conclusion is that it's much too thin - makes it impossible to hold it comfortably, especially one-handed, and the narrow bezel makes things worse - you can't grip it without your fingers touching the edges of the screen. Assuming the dummy was an authentic weight (which the guy in the shop said it was) it feels noticeably lighter than my TP2, especially in the pocket - it's not just less weight, but it's so much larger that the weight is spread over a much wider area.
Went back to Inkino today (the Great Russell Street branch). They do now have an HD2 available for demonstrations. On the whole I found it impressive - fast, and the screen is very nice. The thing I was mostly interested in was whether or not I could type accurately on the touch-screen keyboard. I found I couldn't - pressing the backspace key, for example, resulted in a flurry of key-presses being detected not only of the backspace key but of all the keys around it in all directions. I mentioned this to the guy in the shop (who, incidentally, was very helpful and not at all pushy - I recommend that place!) and he said the reason why they'd put one aside for demos is that they'd been unable to align the screen on it properly, and that consequently other HD2's probably wouldn't suffer from the same problem; but that largely invalidated the demo from my perspective.
Hey, I'm new to the forums, but I've been lurking and reading up on the maple, because I just got a new DASH 3G. I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I would like to become a good, helpful member of the community here in some capacity someday. I appreciate the large body of helpful work and threads that you all have amassed and I'd just like to say thank you and that I am excited to be a member of xda.
Also, I plan to unbrand my tmobile dash 3g today and I'd like to know what some of you guys' favorite applications/ tweaks are.
Howdy.
I fit in the same position that you're in - I just purchased one from the UK and I'm just getting my bearings on the device!
You can count on me to help you out.
Cheers,
Coburn64.
Welcome both of you.
The first place to start is the stickys at the top of the forum. They are packed with great info and insight from users new and old.
Hey Guys,
I waned to introduce myself. I have a Galaxy Tab on the way that I traded for my Viewsonic G-Tablet.
I was very Active over on that forum and loved the G-Tablet. The reason I did the trade was because of the screen viewing angles and the size of the device. I layed with a Galaxy Tab and loved the size so I pulled the trigger.
Anyway just dropped by to read up a little on the device and get ready t mod it when I have it in my hands next week.
Welcome to our small family Feel free to start hacking and unleash your tab's performance! And ofcause, don't forget to contribute
Hi, I would be interested to hear your comparisons of the two devices once you get familiar with the Samsung.
Great to hear from you. Always great to welcome another member to the rebellion.
I know this thread will probably get shut down quick, so I'll keep it simple. Some of you may remember that I created a thread for a ROM entitled ENCOREROM and did not follow through with a release. I would like to apologize for that and explain a little. I have been an avid ROM flasher and seeker of knowledge in the field of Android development for some time now. When I set off to build a ROM for the Note 3, I was unaware of just how much time it would take. I was in high school, both regular and an extended hours performing arts school, and found myself with very little time to work on development. I have since moved on to college and am attempting to reach out and work more on my development skills. I have reached out to a fellow new dev that is attempting to do something that I attempted a while back, Android Wear for the original Galaxy Gear. I know I haven't always been the most reliable, but I try my best to share, learn, and teach where I can. I thank every member of XDA for this amazing site and hope that my past mistake will be forgiven. If you have any input on the Android Wear for Galaxy Gear, PM me and I will pass it along. If you have any information that may help in my learning, also PM me. Mods, if this is out of place, feel free to shut the thread down immediately. I no longer own a Galaxy Note 3 (currently on an LG G3). Happy New Year everyone, I wish you luck in all of your endeavors.
Thanks for the explanation...
Happy New Year!
Hi all! First, I'm new here so allow me to introduce myself with keywords: single dad, gunsmith, water treatment specialist, biker, competitive shooter, noob techie, sci-fi fanatic.
SHC is short for SteelHorseCowboy, a user name on other forums. I'm one of the few my age (31) who've actually worked and made a living from atop a horse. Even rode to school on one and used the practice football field as a paddock. School got free mowing, I just had to pick up after the horse. Moses passed while I was in Iraq, and now I ride motorcycles instead of flesh and blood.
Anyway, I just recieved my N6P yesterday. Have rooted and messed around with ROMs on my N6 so I'm not completely inexperienced in that regard. I've decided to try out the Pure Nexus ROM, but have a few questions before I dive in. I did try searching, read and watched reviews, checked out the developers thread and read the changelog, so I've done my homework but very easily could have overlooked this...
A negative answer to either of these is not a deal breaker, I'll be switching anyway!
Does Pure Nexus support the N6P's fingerprint scanner? I've fallen in love with the option.
Does immersive mode also hide the navbar, or do the navbar customizations allow it to be hidden? I HATE navbars, much prefer LMT pie or UCCW Hotspots. I know build.prop edit can hide them and a build.prop editor is included in the ROM. I even have the edit saved to evernote for quick reference after updates or when helping others, but I'd rather use the built in ROM settings for some reason... I dunno, it just seems "cleaner" to me.
That's it! That's all I want to know! Any and all help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance for your responses.
TL;DR? Fast forward to "A negative answer..."

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Try asking in the ROM thread
Or in the Q&A Section
Just went ahead and flashed it a week or so ago. Has everything I've ever wanted in a ROM. Loving it!
The immersive mode actually working on the nav buttons as well as the status bar is exactly what I think I always needed. They're there when I need them, gone when I don't!
