nexus and walmart

ive found something very odd. im not really looking for an answer,just sharing.unless you know whats going on.for the past few weeks my wife has told me that when she goes to walmart on sunday morning,her time jumps ahead on her nexus.this is an unrooted device running 2.2.1.naturally i was skeptic.until this morning.i went with her.when we started our grocery shopping she asked to see my nexus.then she asked to see my watch.then she showed me her nexus and it was ahead by one hour.when we got the groceries loaded in car i checked it again and all was back to normal.i then checked all settings and nothing is abnormal.i havent a clue on this.

Bermuda triangle!?

The N1 has determined that it takes approximately one hour to shop at Wal Mart, therefore it is trying within its limit of influence to make you exit the horrid place.

i was thinking twilight zone

i was thinking maybe just eject the core before it self implodes

It is the Wall Mart 'Always rolling back' effort. In the real world, your wife did not go shopping, she did not spend one hour there. These are not the droids you are looking for.

since i know where you are located... you are located near a diff time zone. your wifes nexus probably picks up the other timezone, in walmart, and switches accordingly. thats my 2 cents.

Wal-Mart is so big it has dual time zone?

crap man! You are supposed to use a space after a period.
I have to copy and paste and fix your damn post, just to be able to read it.

Until this morning. I went with her. When we started our grocery shopping she asked to see my nexus. Then she asked to see my watch. Then she showed me her nexus and it was ahead by one hour.

Ok, now that we have something readable... it sounds like you are connecting to a tower that has it's clock wrong. I believe each tower has it's own clock that updates your device. That way each device isn't going out over the main network to get time and other things.

Obsessive compulsive much?
I had to dot your "i's", cross your "t's", and fix your damn post, just to be able to read it.
I hope you don't waste too much of your time quoting many members, cause that's a sure way to go crazy.

I believe that there is a WIFI box or Cell tower that was moved from a different timezone. Nothing you can do about it.

Eh there is being picky about grammer, there is being lazy with grammer, and then there is writing so awful that a simple sentence makes my head hurt.
probly nvm w/e are understandable for most people, and get the point across, but writing a full paragraph without the absolute basics like capitalization, commas, breaks, and what not, make me personally not want to read what you took the time to say.

this is the funniest sh** i've read today!

+1, or something similar (network time is wrong). If you don't travel much try turning off the automatic time zone

Anyone in the next pre order and not using it?

I guess they are doing the comment thing for pre orders again and I missed out, again. Anyone expecting a link and not going to buy one? I would love to be able to pick one up.

Out of curiosity, which model are you looking to get?

The pixel qi wifi model. They were sold out by the time the pre orders were done last time
Sent from my EVO using XDA App

You're not alone, i'm in the same position.

I would love a pre-order link too if someones not going to use it. Ofcourse, when it is available!
Looking to buy PixelQi Wifi+3G version!

Just gonna throw my name in here if people do get spare links
Also, looking to get Qi + wifi version.
Sent from my HTC Desire

LCD with WIFI version

I have the same problem but I dont care wich model i love all models
S if someone have a link plz PM me
Thanks

Its a long shot because we have to hope that someone from the other sites that is going to get a link visits these forums and isn't going to need it.
At this point I think I would settle for the base model, and they lated through pre order last time.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App

Not sure if I will get a preorder link or not. I have posted on several of the forums, but two blogs I seem to constantly be waiting for moderation o don't know if I will be on the list.
Definitely want in on one, but if by some miracle I get extra, what can I say xda has always been good to me from my axim days through N1!
I'm just waiting for the emails to go out

+1
Wifi + Pixel Qi
I'm waiting that one too!! I'm reading here and there that we have to wait until the MWC get start (14th February). That's a long time...

I've posted on others of the forums, and my order is scheduled to ship on the 29th, so if I get another pre order invite I'll be sure to remember you guys.

currently giving one invite away for the 64gb sandstone version (it's soon amazing )

I just got my phone 2 days ago and god I'm in love. The shipping took 5 days give or take and they did an over night shipping so it was priority mail and they send it at the last minute. I recommend charging the phone completely before even though turning it on but that's me. I woke up a little while ago to an email saying I have invites to give away. I have 3 invites currently but 2 are going to be given away based on 2 people I know and if they want the phone the third one is up for grabs. So I will find it away based on a first come first serve basis. And who knows I might give the other 2 I have away if my friends don't respond fast enough. So don't stop checking till I'm completely out. Which I will state somewhere on here.

Can I have it please ?

Can I have an invite plzz

When I asked Google chat support if I would be able to pre-order at midnight she said it will be 11am-12pm PST on the 29th. On the Play store anyways.

That's exactly what I expected her to say, that she didn't have that information. It was at the end of a very long conversation. I was happy when she answered but still not 100% convinced. Needless to day I will be up until at least 2 or 3am waiting just in case!

Regardless of if its 12am or 12pm, its PST so make sure you take that into count.

12AM PST? That's in 2 hours!

I'm just going to go sleep. I just left my PC to auto refresh my browser every second and turn off the alarm when "add to cart" is detected. Worked last year for the n5 but I didn't end up buying it, stuck with the n4 for another year.

You das party pooper. :laugh:

Just out of curiosity... why are so many people waiting to be first to pre-order? As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't seem like your typical Apple products that's expecting to be sold-out within a couple of hours... Am I wrong to assume that the pre-order should be up for at least a couple of days if not until the actual release date? Or did the Nexus 5 actually went out of stock during its pre-order period?
Thanks.

No it didn't. The Nexus 4 was up for about 2.5 hours before it sold out. The Nexus 5 sold out faster in about an hour and change. They go in and out with refreshing inventory levels, so you probably just got unlucky when you refreshed.

Tmobile credit

So I just got off the phone with tmobile today regarding my bill. I had 2 note 7 and returned one during the first recall and tmobile did something that ended up having my account in the negatives saying my bill was -320. Anyway today I called up because I I couldn't pay last month's bill because my account was showing negative and then this month's bill finally posted showing 2 months bill combined.
Long story short, I called saying I wasn't happy with this and they credited 150 off my bill right away. Not sure if this would work for anyone else who had the same situation but worth a try. Something off is better than nothing.

Mine was -700 last month then when it updated now is -400. They assured me my latest Bill due Nov 1 was already paid from the negative balance credit. We will see. There are some accommodation credits and adjustments listed

Guys hey thanks for the support. Was not expecting it. Dreamz said it perfectly, every does seem rather distant but I know things will work out, they have to. To make matters worse I hurt my lower back severely. But like everything in life, whether its the whole fiasco of the Note 7 or something much more serious, life has a way of bouncing back. I tell myself that I am going through some character building time. haha.

Have you thought about wo4king from home? Its not ideal, but if you have a decent PC and decent international, as well as some knowledge of networking. You could get a job at Support.com. They are constantly hiring. The work sucks, but it pays the bills.
