just thought this realy needed some notice... i am so excited.. i cannot wait for andoid to be competed and out in the world.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm pretty excited for the event.

There's a couple knocking round at work today. Looks okay, haven't had a go yet.

Win a free Galaxy Nexus (unlocked)

Hi. PiBackup is offering a free Galaxy Nexus (unlocked).
Now it will not be fair to the XDA community if I don't disclose my interest in the company. I am one of the early investors and someday I hope to reap some rewards. Someday
Now I will try to introduce PiBackup to you guys. Though marketing is not my strong point, I will try
PiBackup provides unlimited data backup for a very low price. You can find out more at the website. This was an invite only program which has now gone public. To celebrate this, one brand new Galaxy Nexus is up for grabs, along with 3 free annual accounts. There is a small list of terms & conditions of course.
More offer details can be found at http://pibackup.com/offer
Now, as an investor I can get a promo code with 10% discount exclusively for XDA members and their family/friends. However, I will need at least 10 confirmations before I can do this.
UPDATE: 2 likes, 1 interest = Counted as 3 confirmations. 7 to go before I can get the promo code created.
P.S. If this advertisement(?!) is against the XDA policy, the mods can modify accordingly or delete this.

Wouldn't say it's "free" since you have to sign up for your services in order to win.

@mbh87: Well, you are paying for a different service. However, if you win the Nexus it will be free!

must be resident of usa... im not

@lokenok: Sorry, the GN offer is only for US residents. However, free backup accounts are for grab from (almost) anywhere.

No takers? I need a least 10 of you to help me out here to get the XDA promo code made.

So wen does this contest take place/how does it wotk because I want a gn n I'm willing to ppay that thirty

The contest is open to all subscribers, but GN offer is for US only due to logistics problems; please see T&C for more info. The draw will be done randomly using an automated system and the winners will be chosen on 15th of July. The site is also updated with this info.
P.S So far 1 like and 1 interest. I am counting this as 2 total interests. I still need 8 more to get a 10% XDA special discount code made.

Besides signing up for something, what's the catch? You take our personal information and sell it just like every other company out there.

What? NO! What go into your mind No information is ever passed to a third party. Even PiBackup employees don't even access to backed up data as they're encrypted. Besides, I am not even an employee but an investor.
Also, there is no catch. Everything is mentioned in the offer's T&C. Please don't judge without checking out facts. None of customers have complained so far about our service let alone selling their info!
I just wanted to share this in XDA as I am with community since Jan 2011 and I had hoped to do something for the community by sharing a code which they can use or distribute to get a discount on subscriptions (this is how we earn).
If anyone else has any concerns, please let me know and I will try to address them asap.

I need a Galaxy S III for a quick photo shoot - Nashville, TN

Short of the thing is I have been asked to review a product for the Galaxy S III worth about $80. I do not have said phone, but most of the review is about the construction and durability of said product and a dummy phone can be used to test, but not shoot pictures for the review.
After the review is done, product is mine, but pretty useless to me as I don't have an S III. So, if anyone's in Nashville and wants something worth about $80 for their S III for a roughly 10 minute long photoshoot, let me know. I'm in the metrocenter area during the daytime and south Nashville in the night.
I've been asking on twitter for nearly a month and nobody I know knows anyone with an S III near Nashville, which seems a tad absurd with how many local android peeps I know.
I'm also not planning on stabbing anyone to death for a phone and as long as the lighting is decent enough (not government building fluorescent lighting) I can do a shoot in a public place.
You can see what I generally write about at http://www.pocketables.com/author/paul-e-king and contact me there if you're interested, or DM me here.

Well you might only get a handful of ppl in this forum section in America as this is the forum section for the international version of galaxy s3. For the US version you'll need the American networks(sprint, Verizon etc) galaxy s3 forums just below this one in the main forum list.
Might get a better response there

thank you, it's not a phone I deal with...
Will hit up the other variants...

I live in Nashville and have a blue Verizon S3.
PM me and we may be able to meet up. What's your deadline, as I dont think I can meet today or tomorrow.

AT&T Backorder

Edit: Has anyone ordered through AT&T Premier Account?
I found this thread of people having issues from the iPhone 5 launch.
http:// http://forums.att.com/t5/Apple-Community-Discussion/AT-amp-T-Premier-royally-messed-up-iphone-5-order/td-p/3307493
Im hoping my situation turns out better then these people. Im just looking to see if anyone else's order is in my shoes. When I go search for the order using the Order ID its not found,
Has anyone received an email stating that the S4 for AT&T is on back order. I ordered late tuesdsy night (pacific time). I'm on family talk and my cousin sent me an email that he supposedly got stating the S4 was on back order. He is a talented artist with the ability to photoshop something to troll me, (hes an iPhone fanboy go figure)... Any info would be awesome...

I wouldn't put stock in that - There may be some local shortages, but Samsung is highly unlikely to pull an HTC and not be able to supply phones on time when promised. They're too big a company and too competitive to make that kind of mistake on a large scale!
EDIT: Here's more proof it will be available - http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_s4_expected_to_ship_10_million_units_in_first_month-news-5886.php

That's not exactly proof it will be available...first they say its EXPECTED - plus when you think about it...10 million really isn't that much when California's population alone is 38 million (313 million people in tthe US total). Now add the rest of the countries...not that much...
10 million units is only enough to supply to about 3% of the US population...and your telling us that 10 million devices expected to ship first month is proof there isn't a backorder? Now I know not everyone uses smartphones and not everyone that uses smartphones will get the sgs 4...but I'm sure way over 10 million people want to get it when its released - and there is no saying if the 10 million units will all available at the beginning of the month or will be shipped out periodically to avoid over stalking low purchase areas...
But I do hope there isn't...they did say first com first serve....so hopefully I got my preorder in time for me to actually get the April 30th ship date

I think you are understating the significance of 10 million devices sold with ONE month. That is an extreme amount of devices and if Samsung believes it will sell that, then they will produce 10 million x 1.xx for that period.
This isn't HTC and the design they are working with doesn't require "200 minutes of CNC'ing" per device. Don't worry. This is going to go smoothly.

I'm not saying that 10 million isn't a lot...but that still doesn't mean no chance of back orders...plus as I stated we don't know how they are deploying the devices...if they deploy all 10 million or 10 million through out the first month like maybe supplying 2 million or so a week...plus this is spread out through many countries...so really probably only a few million are going to the US...and this isn't just the att variant if understand, it includes all variants...so att maybe getting a million devices (if that...its probably closer to a few hundred thousand devices for att)- which is still alot - but it still leaves room for back order
-all Im trying to say is that its very possible for a backorder to occur...not saying its going to happen or that its highly likely to happen...just saying that its highly possible
Plus on atts website they did say they are selling them on a first come first serve basis...and that it is possible for delays in shipment based on that - which suggests they also believe in the possibility of a back order
Again I'm not saying 10 mil isn't a lot...but that its possible, especially when you look at the amount of countries/carriers that are going to be selling those 10 mil devices

Apologies in advance for this shameless bump. I edited my original post and added new information about ATT Premier Accounts. I know its just a phone and I should obsess over it this much, however ive been stuck using an iPhone 4 for like 2 months. I need android back asap.

I ordered mine on the 16th from AT&T Premier over the phone. Its showing processing, not back ordered.

Check my topic in General for more information on this

Google Glass available for all

Just a heads up; For one day only - 15 April 2014 - Google Glass will go on sale for the public. No invite required
Usual rules apply, US$1500 plus tax, us address, etc
EDIT:

i was also just going through this link:

i especially love the tag line:
The Glassholes club is about to be a lot less exclusive on April 15

even though i would love to grab hold of GOOG but its way too expensive right now and probably i can wait
:fingers-crossed:

I bought one and yowza my eyes were sore after the first day. I'm skipping a day before I use them again.

Sales figures?
Does anybody know the actual sales figures? Is there a press release of the sales for the 15th April from Google? And no: I don't mean such phrases like "...the whole contingent has been outsold."
I want to see facts! I want to see numbers! I want to count glassholes.

The Google Glass project is running far too slowly. It risks being out of date before it is launched. I earmarked money last year to buy on launch but now it seems Google Glass might not even be launched this year.

Oh, i missed it.
if i bought it from US and ship to england, can i use in europe and the network and others work?
