Hey guys, i assume that there should be a couple of you guys with the phone already, can you please describe us the accesories that came with the phone?
guys from UK told us that the phone came with a screen protector installed and a spare one, also a 16gb card, but others tell us that there were no screen protector and a 8gb card.
Please tells us how the phone came in the American Continent...
I came close..... I was at futureshop locally to buy one and they claimed they couldn't sell it to me until tomorrow. I showed them the release date online, they weren't convinced. Even showed them it on their own web site and that it was listed as available. They were nice enough to show me the box of one... I'm hoping to head back out shortly to different futureshop, which I called and was told they had no problem selling it to me today. Anyway, according to the inter webs we canadians will have an 8 Gb card only, while the Arc will come with the 16 Gb. I'll hopefully report back later with full contents for you.
*Shows up*
Just got home and started charging it. I'm about to go online and buy an unlock code now. I hope to have a youtube video posted on how it's done. As far as accessories go, all I got were a pair of crappy ear buds. As far as the card goes, I didn't check it. There was nothing extra so if I have anything, I'm going to assume it's already in the phone.
Got it this morning. Only 8 gb. Comes with screen protector installed and earphone, cable and charger, no case. Can't disable auto brightness. Paid 20$ and got it unlocked for telus, everythings working fine so far. It takes about 1h to xfer all the crap to a 16gb card (there's a lot of crap, images, html etc). I'll try all the emulators later.

can you check if yours came with the screen protector installed, as the other post mentions?
also i bought one from ebay this morning (the last one of 3) the description says it was from Rogers, but unlocked, so i guess this guy use this codes before ship it...
But will confirm once arrives...

What service did you use to get it unlocked?
mobileincanada. Reliable and fast. Used it a few time.
Also can you tell us how much did you pay for it?
Just bought an unlock code. Paid $20. Hoping it works. I'm also going to post a video to erase any skepticism people may have about doing this.
Paid 0$ (a friend renew the contract and trade it to me). FPSE is just SPECTACULAR! Way faster than my T9193 or Dell Streak. Only thing is the screen auto-brightness, as most of you know. Some games just look too dark (Diablo) and needs a fix brightness, or a color adjustment inside FPSE.
Awesome to hear. So it's confirmed that the gamepad works with FPSE?
Yes the gamepad works great. No success with the analog pad so far. I'm sure FPSE will enable it soon. I'm surprise it's a lot more responsive than I though seeing how people complained about the CPU. Unless the Rogers model is different which I doubt...
Yeah, the phone seems pretty snappy to me overall. Honestly though? I could care less about any minor issues. The fact that this has a slide out gamepad is enough for me to overlook any minor flaws. MAN I'm psyched to have this. Just waiting on my unlock code right now.
Got mine as well. I'm impressed by the smoothness of th UI and the quality of the screen.
I was wondering if any of you had weird behaviors with mp3 files and non stock headphone... The ones supplied are the worst piece of ?'*-) I've came accross in a long time. That's my only complain though.
Loving it!

Sorry I said there was a screen protector. It looked like there is one underneath the protective plastic they put because there is a trasparent material on top of the screen but it might be the design. Just in case someone is not careful and treat it as there is one.
Guys I need your help. Can anyone hold the search button and plug it the usb in a computer while it's off. People are telling me I should get a blue light in the power button but I get nothing! Instead it just shows the sony ericsson lego then the status of the battery. BTW I do have a Canadian xperia play but this one I won.
I'll try when I get home. Search the forums carefully, because I remember someone giving very specific instructions one how to get that blue light and he did it slightly differently. Maybe search "blue light search button" on the Xperia play forums or something, you'll find it.
Picked mine up last night. I am pretty sure that is a preinstalled screen protector we are seeing. Too bad we didn't get the extra one in the box some people have reported. Also only an 8gb card for Canada.

IT SUCKS! It has horrible static. Im sure its not the phone...
Anyone notice this? or did I get a bad headset.
Have not tried mine. Was going to today.
I was going to try and return it for store credit cause I really wont use it.
Let me know what happens when you try it.
Im curious to know.
I think mine glitched up on me already. The blue light is solid and hasn't turned off for over a day now. I can't connect, pair, or turn it off.
You get what you pay for. Of course they aren't going to give out Jawbones or even Jabras.
Mine was crap too. But hey at least it was free.
What I wanna know is did your bb offer you the sweet sweet con of your already free bluetooth, a zaag screen (only screen) and car charger (off brand) for 40 dollars- only available for that price to the pre-orders, originally 90. Gimme a break- and sadly people were jumping at it left and right.

Im ALLOWED to ***** when they wont let me substitute! Although Im glad to posted in here just to be make a smart comment! Thanks for the contribution
HOWEVER, the reason i asked, is because if noone else had this problem, i was going to return it for another
I tried to return it for something else since I don't need another BT headset and they wouldn't do it. First, they only take returns with receipts. My receipt showed it was a free promotional item and since I didn't pay for it they wouldn't exchange it for a different item. However, if yours doesn't work I would expect an exchange for a direct replacement shouldn't be difficult.
My BB gave us 2 Plantronix BT headsets and they work amazingly great.. I had sworn off BT after trying it a few years ago.
This free, cheapy headset sounds better than the phone's output. I just followed instructions for pairing. No problem..
The headset I got from bestbuy came with a charger that fits in my evo. Great to have at work.
I bought the Iconia during the Staples sale (pm by OD) in order to take credit card payments for my store. However, Squarepay doesn't play nice with it, so I need to sell.
I can't return because it has been past the 14 day return window and since it is open, OD will charge a 15% restocking fee.
I paid $326 for it and have only used it for a total of maybe an hour (to try and get Squarepay working).
I'm offering it up for forum members here at $300 shipped within the U.S.
Everyone play nice or bans will be issued...
FYI to the OP, I have a square and the iconia, I have contacted square support and they said they are working on it. They didn't give me a time frame, but they have been super responsive in the past on requests and bugs that I have sent them.

Thanks! This is good info, I might just keep it then.
I am wondering whether its the 16 or 32. I am looking to get one for my wife, but running short on funds lol. I have the 16gb model myself just cause the 32 wasnt out when I was shopping.
Interesting. I was going to try out square on my iconia. I'll have to make sure it will work on my Optimus V until they get it to play nice with the tablet.
Also, you should still be able to use Square with just manual entry of the C #'s, although I understand the reason not to with the higher rate of manual entry... Good luck with the sale though.

I did that for a bit, but there's two reasons why this isn't ideal.
1) They actually charge more for manual entry
2) Customers don't like it as much for some reason when you are entering their CC info in. It doesn't seem as "legitimate" as swiping. It also doesn't look as cool.
Is $300 your rock bottom price, or is there any more room to negotiate? I don't need another iconia, but I know a few people who are jealous that would jump at getting one for the right price. You can PM me and we can go from there.
Thanks

id definitely be willing to pay 300 for it to get it for my wife. Been trying to get a touchpad so I can OC it to the 1.9 theyve been talking about, but i have the a500 and would rather get that for my wife. lol
I use square almost everyday with my A500 the surefire way is to connect it when you are ready to swipe, you have a 5 second window but it works every time.

You still offering it? Got everything it came with? I'll take it for $300 shipped. Nothing at all wrong with it, right?
Thanks!

*EDIT* -- I've got a bottom of the barrel Android phone (Huawei Ascend) that prompted me to sell off all my Windows Mobile gear (a bunch of Dell Axim's). Spent the last couple of months comparing, reading reviews, message boards, etc... and the A500 is pretty much what I'm looking for. Got a taste of Android from my phone and I want more, More, MORE!
As you can tell from my post count, I'm not on here too often. But, a reply to this thread, a PM or email at: ka4aaa at gmail will certainly get to me. Thank you again, and I understand if you're keeping it. I'm not going to pay $400 (which every local store seems to be offering), can't find it for less than $340 online, and your $300 price is the magic number I've been looking for. Much appreciated!!
**Second Edit** -- Nevermind. Found one locally. Thank you!
hey, dont know if you got the message i sent but definitely interested in getting it off you. let me know. My pms seem to be acting weird and not sending messages out.
Sorry, I forgot about this post and I'm still getting PMs about this.
Item was sold a week or two ago for $320!
Thanks all!
I just wanted to update you that they are starting to stock Note 2 accessories at Samsung Mobile US and I have the following codes if interested... Just wanted to put this out there again so you can look at a few cases and spare batteries and when I posted this before they did not have ANYTHING for the Note 2 so this might benefit somebody and the code is still working AFAIK so keep checking their site if your in the US.... Let me know if it's still working....? I am going to pick up a case from them right now. I am sure they will be adding things very soon!

I wanted to order a bunch of accessories in advance of me getting the Note, but I have a few questions.
#1 - The charger on page 1 is only a 1A. There is a 2A charger (and several other items) on page 2, but they don't seem to have prices nor can they be added to the cart???
#2 - The first page shows a couple of HDMI cables. I am not sure which is the right one, especially since someone said the pins are reversed now or something???
I really want to do a good order but I want to make sure things are right. ALSO, would like to get some of the stuff on the second page but no price?!?!?!
As far as hdmi goes it will be the one that is compatible with the S3. The S3 and Note II have the same pins if I recall correctly. Stay away from the ones for orginal note and s2.

Where is the dark pink flip cover??
Just an FYI but when I registered my wife's Galaxy SII last week (over a year old but needed to register it for warranty work) Samsung USA sent me a 50% off coupon for registering my device.
thanks for this. i just ordered a Note 2 case using the 50% off coupon code.

Note 2 has the NFC antenna inside the back cover, not in the battery.
I will definitely be getting the battery/dock when it comes back in stock I bought 2 of them when I got my note 1, might of been a bit overkill but they were $30 each and came with extra charging cables.

Well I'll start off with saying how psyched I am about getting this phone regardless of what's coming out so far this year.
Believe it or not I've been using a badly cracked screen Xperia Play for 8 months and just haven't bothered with the mobile world since then.
I'm currently living in the UK and I have a few questions in regards to the Nexus 4 and general concerns.
How easy is it exactly to crack the screens front/back?
What case would you recommend for some one who is accident prone (nothing to bulky)?
How long did it take for UK customers to receive theirs after purchase? I'm getting the 16gb model and I went to checkout to check and they're telling me 1-2 business days?
Where can I get good wallpapers for it? I normally use Zedge but I had a nosey at their Nexus 4 walls and there isn't that many, I can just make my own or rescale other HD images but meh, I like looking for things I don't have.
In the UK do they need the micro sims? I ordered one anyway just incase.
Are there any apps that really stand out on the Nexus 4 for you?
Is it possible to root without boot loader unlocking it? Does it not come boot loader unlocked if ordered from the Google Play store?
Also is there any other cheaper method to have it display on A TV other than the slimport output http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-adapter-Connect-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG#lbhuc_854718

Hi. Mine came after 2 days (I ordered it at 11pm Saturday and it came in early Tuesday morning). I'm currently living in UK too. I had to order micro sim from O2.
Cheers that's good to hear lmao I hate waiting, too impatient.
I should have gotten my phone in 2 days as well but some f*** ups from TNT extended it to 4 days. It appears that i was unlucky though as nobody else reported issues with the courier service. It might only be my local depot. Anyways, get a TPU case from ebay. It should provide it with enough protection for lightish drops. I got a really nice, clear one with an s pattern on the back from ebay for 2 quid. I'm also still using the original film on the front and back. They're doing their job alright
Regarding the micro sim... Just take your sim card to any phone corner shop and they will cut it to the right size for you. They offered to do it for free in my case. Left them 50 pence tip
I just cut my sim manually with a pair of scissors

My Nexus 4 arrives tomorrow !!! I'm also coming from a broken Xperia Play, my screen just came unresponsive and then it stopped working. I'm not from the UK but lately google has been shipping this devices in the expected time if not sooner.
As for the case, I ordered the official bumper (looks awesome, in pictures at least...) and the Spigen SGP Ultra Dual from Amazon. I'll coma back tomorrow to post my initial impressions on the bumper an the screen protector, I hope it doesn't add too much bulk

that's a little tricky. I cut my counsin's sim successfully, but when I cut my sim, it didn't work...
Titanium Backup is good for... backup, if you are looking an useful apps for Nexus 4. I also use System Tuner to turn off some background-running and start-up apps, as well as watch the CPU's temperature. Another apps I use is BetterBatteryStats. You also need an apps like Solid Explorer (trial for 7 days), however there are many apps with the same function, and free. Topic for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163
The Ballistic is bulky based on people's reviews, but they say it provides quite good protection.
I have this case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163, two layers, you can see the images and decide for yourself. If you want to see the back of your nexus, you can use the official bumper although some folks really dont like it because it provides nothing to protect the back. There is a case with a transparent back, the Ringkee or something, go to Accessories, that thread is quite hot there.
For the back and front screen. Becareful. dont drop it and it will stay in good condition. I recommend a screen protector to avoid scratches.
I dont know how it is easy to crack the phone. I take my phone everywhere in my jeans' pocket (not skinny ) and it 's still good now without a scratch.
Cheers Yea I ordered a micro-sim anyway I feel like changing my number as there is a few contacts I wish no longer had my number, not that they bother with me nor I with them, but just to make sure they don't
As for the second link, it's the same post (must have apps lol) what case? :S

For the Slimport adapter, you can at least save a few quid if you use the coupon code ANDROID3 at checkout on Amazon.co.uk. Saves you £3.
Ordered it this morning, shipped by 5pm GMT, could it come tonight?
I ordered mine at 2118 on a Monday night and I had it Tuesday morning... Can't complain
I don't have ant screen protectors or a case for mine - just need to be careful, just think a case ruins the look of the phone and I'm not willing to compromise

I banked on the idea that this phone was a mandatory item due to GearVR. This is why I bought this phone and now I am not regretting it. I played around with my GearVR all night and am blown away.
For all the haters out there you have really missed out.
For this one feature alone makes this phone the best on the planet. I cant wait to see all the stuff that will be developed for it.
P.s. I missed out on my controller it was on backorder when I ordered my gearVR. I guess I got lucky to have that but some games require a gamepad. I guess root will allow a ps4 controller to work? Are there any other controllers that people have found to work with/without root?
Thanks in advance!
