Thinking about biting the bullet - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

And just getting my nexus 4 from the carphone warehouse for over £100 more than the play store.
I sold my galaxy s3 to get the nexus on the 13th Nov. Had the nexus in the basket about 30 times but I would get an error when pressing proceed.
Couple of reasons why im thinking about going for it is, there's no real date on the net stating when stock will be in. Some sources say 13th Nov? And just read today on a site could be end of December. And correct me if I'm wrong but are people not still waiting on their order from the 13th?
Probably the biggest reason I'm thinking about biting the bullet is that I'm rocking a galaxy tab p1000 for a phone! And tbh its driving me up the wall!! Haha
Do you think I am crazy?

I bit the bullet. Didn't regret it for even a second, this phone is so good. Though I didn't have an S3 before it...
If you include the play store shipping fees, it's actually less than £100 difference, more like £90.

I also bought it from Carphone Warehouse and regret it a lot less than i though i would. The phone is so good it is still worth £389.95. I will possibly regret it when they come back on sale but not having to trawl the web for the smallest rumour about more stock or constant F5ing of the play store is a god send :good:

Yeah i cant be arsed checking the web every 2 mins to see what's happening.
I think google have be wankers with all this. IMHO The reason they sold out was to give 3rd partys a chance to get you in to a 24 month contract.
I have a good mind to now buy the phone at all!!

This is the way I looked at it, I paid 700 for my GNex at launch last year, so I figured even if I didnt get in on a Play Store order launch day anything under 700 was still a deal when I compare what I paid last year for a Nexus. Luckily I got in on Play Store and wasnt backordered.

Bought one from o2 the day after google screwed me over when i had been up all night and i havent regretted it at all.
I could afford to buy it and its a great phone and a nice step up from the gnex i had before.
Im enjoying my phone while some poor people that actually got through the order prcess succesfully are waiting on devices still.
just go get it if you can afford it mate

Just bought it. Should get it tomorrow.
Google you win...... This time

That's what I say. Last year I paid $649.00 in Toronto. I will most likely look on kijiji And spend $500.00 still cheaper than when i bought Gnexus:good:

Was Google Play efficient for N7 pre-orders?

I definitely want to pre-order the N4 as soon as possible, but I don't know how Google are with shipping etc.
Did they ship before release date? How fast was shipping and how much did it cost?
I want to make sure I get it quickly, otherwise I'm stuck with a backup phone for a while...

They got shipped late, there was too few to satisfy demand and at one point they decided to send newly placed orders before earlier orders.
Delivery was a standard 2 working days think it was £9.99. They changed to overnight delivery due to the delays.
If you are brave here is the preorder shipping thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737556
Based on the nexus 7 preorder I'd advise against it.
Edit
Forgot there was also problems in the UK with incorrect delivery address on a lot of them.

Thanks. Do you think other retailers with have it available for pre-order?
Also on the subject, when they say "available for order" on the 13th, does that mean 12:01am?
I'm in California, and wouldn't mind staying up to get my order in :victory:
Not likely to have Preorder.
From what I understand, the actual release date is Nov 13. It doesn't look like google will be doing a preorder for this one. That said, the N7 preorder went well for me, I grabbed it early and got it on a friday, knew some others who didn't get theirs until after the weekend.
i did the pre order for the nexus 7 and it went pretty well over all. there was a bit of a delay due to high demand but i dont hold that against them. got mine when they said i would. in perfect condition and have no defects or problems.
Ordered my n7 on the first day of pre-orders, didnt recieve it for quite a while, people who ordered after me got it first. But it was worth the wait
Still not gunna stop me ordering this!
Waited about a month to get my Nexus 7 16GB, meanwhile all local stores had it in stock and I couldnt cancel. So, I wouldnt say they were very efficient.
If the N7 preorder was slow and delayed, I have to think that this one will be even worse, there's plenty of buzz for the phone.

Galaxy note 3 Simfree UK Price?

Hey everyone, anyone got any idea how much the note 3 will be simfree in the UK I've got an s3 at the moment and I bloody hate it need something a lot more powerful with a better screen and screen size. I'd be willing to pay like 500-550 although wouldn't be willing to pay over the odds like 700 for it or what they normally try to charge. So yeah anyone got any idea on how much the note 3 will be simfree only as I really don't want to be stuck in and tied down to a contract.

It's gonna cost you about 649 Pounds without contract also worth a mention according to them "The first 500 customers to pre-order a Galaxy Note 3 and Gear will get a £50 reward when they trade in any old phone at the Samsung Experience Store Launch Event."

I've pre ordered from handtec, they have always been pretty decently priced. especially when you choose royal mail. no one acts as your gst/tax customs unlike DHL. so you save heaps. fck buying it here. price is always like 300+ more. joke country haha.
plus its never in nz until like 3 months AFTER the rest of the world has it
feeling a custom ROM first day I get it, just like I did with the note 2. custom ROM first day. sweet phone there after xD

Yeah, prices are way too high here! I'm from Melbourne! I have actually lived in Auckland for 2 years about 10 years ago and I loved it! Where abouts in Auckland are you?
I went with clove again this time. Although Handtec is cheaper but after my horrible experience with them for my GN1 (I don't know if you remember it, I have mentioned it last year) I have decided never to buy from them again.
I have also had a pretty bad experience with DHL last year for the delivery of GN2, so this time I went with the slightly more expensive FedEx ;p

Had to return 2 consecutive GN1 to them which cost me over 200 bucks because the first one had a bad screen bleed and second with bad dead pixels.
DHL last time had a 2 days deals with the shipping of my GN2 and lost the tracking those 2 days! So decided to spend a couple of dollars more and go with FedEx this time
So what colour have you chosen this time?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
wow that's epic **** luck. I got a 29" monitor the other day and came home, always dread turning on first time and seeing a dead pixel. I had about 8. had to drive alllll the way back. just a major mission. overseas would be even worse lol, no compensations for our shipping eh.
I went black, I've always done black/silver/dark. anything white and I feel like someone might comment on my iphone -_-
I think I waited last time only white was available for the note 2? or something like that, I just held off until the silver was available, think it was the note 2?
what color did you go?
what, spigen screen protectors are mid october in your hands? fck need a temp screen protector asap. link me to what you got? curious to see.
I was going to do a hybrid case but I don't like our already large phone, to be larger. that's why I've always got back replacements, never back/sides or even a complete case that covers the back piece.
from what I read, the spigen screen protector I got from amazon is available 20 september, say 10 days to get here. makes 30th, then if the note 3 is released 25th, say 5 days which is what I can remember how long it took last time, might both be bang on? and 10 days for the spigen is stretching it, I reckon it'll be like 5 days or 7 max

When I preordered online the 1st time around, it said devices would ship by 10/15. Maybe that's what they mean? But it wouldn't be unheard of for stores to get early drop shipments and do soft releases for those who ask. Best bet is to call the stores.

That may be when they're expecting to receive it and start selling it. I would definitely call in Wednesday or especially Thursday to see if maybe they got some in earlier than expected. Never hurts to ask. I called BB every day for a week before Moto 360 release and managed to snag 2 before official launch.

yeah, thats sort of what I plan to do; plus I have a "friend" at my local Tmo store, and told him to let me know when he can actually sell me one.
if I have to wait a couple extra days, thats ok with me too, since I have an M8 to use until then
i wish they would do that, even my friend who works at tmo couldnt get me one... i have to wait..... 5 more days. unless i beg the guy in the nearest store, he seemed cool.
I called a store today and said it wouldn't go on sale until the 17th. Has anyone gone by a store yet to ask in person?
I have a sibling that is a manager at a corporate retail store and they don't have any in stock. It's still lined up for the 17th launch.

Well that sucks. Oh well, I'll just wait until Friday and get mine. I would have pre ordered if I had known I could have gotten it today. I'll be out of town Friday, so I didn't want to preorder and have it sitting at home until I got back. I'll just go to a T-Mobile store while I'm out of town.

just came back from my main tmobile store, and the mgr said he STILL doesnt have any note 4's, and he has lost about a dozen sales because he has nothing to sell yet. He said they didnt even send him a "preorder" sheet, so he could request a certain amount of phones, so he has no idea how many he is getting, or when they are coming..

Damn your already getting a Note 4 after just getting the M8 a few months ago. I guess I'm also considering it. We bad. LoL. I have a guy that always hooks me up at T-Mobile too. If I get it I'll use my wife's Jump and then give her my G3. I might wait til Christmas since I still like my G3 and maybe there might be some kind of promo then.
the M8 was just a stop gap phone until the note 4 showed up!
look whose talking, you getting rid of the G3 already???
My wife loves hers, but my son still kept his G2 for some reason.

I sold my G3 last month and used my brothers nexus 5 till I got the note.
Last year was worse tho, had the Sony Xperia Z, HTC One, LG G2, Sony Xperia Z2, and Nexus 5 within span of 3.5 months! Lol

Damn...A year or so ago I got tired of Samsung phones so went to LG. I had the LG G2 around 4 months then the Flex for around 4 months and the G3 for around 4 months. I tried the Sony Z but didn't like the battery life. I thought about maybe getting the Z3 but I just don't know about Sony/T-Mobile updates.

Hopefully this gives us an idea of when they will be released for other carriers.. I don't know about you guys, but I'm anxious Mod Edit Please mind your language

Finally some good news about the note edge. Been waiting for this kind of news since the announcement during their live stream
That's very good.
Only 10days off from the said Nov 4th release.
In that case tmobile should start taking preorders Nov 1st. That would be 2 weeks before launch. I believe they did the same amount of time with the note 4.
Now if we could get a price that would be nice. Either way im going to do my best to get it day one.
Lucky you guys!
My only option is looking like one of those from ebay. I am not sure if the Exynos version is the right one?
Just spent £650 on the Note 4...
u guys think that amazon or ebay will sell unlocked note edge units from t-mobile to the middle east? im wondering if it will be cheaper there.

I know ebay will.
If people buy them and pay in full they can get the unlock code that same day.
I did that with my note 3. I got it from the tmobile store and paid in full and i was able to ask for the unlock code online.
So i bet you will see them on ebay a week after release for $100 to $200 more then tmobile site plus shipping.
I doubt amazon will have any. I don't see any third party sites having them, best buy, radio shack, etc... There have been reports if only 1 more llion devices to be released due to strict protype details and this is basically a marketing scheme. Now I can't wait. I want the N4 bad, but I'm liking the NEdge.
I also don't see many carriers having them in store either. Looks more like a preorder thing. Unless they do an Apple and only release at stores for the hype and line build.
Snap crackle and pop it lol......

I have no clue. I dont jump on my side. I was going to use my EIP credit to get the phone and then sell my note 3 on ebay.
My girls line has JUMP! When i last talk to Tmobile they said that you must have paid at lest 50% of your phone off. They will take your old phone and give you 50% of the priced of the phone when you brought it. and that would be credited towards your new phone.
NOw that is for a normal trade. I dont know who it would work for Pre-orders tho.
If you got a tmobile account just get online and do an online chat and ask about using jump on a preorder phone. Dont tell them up front about the note edge or they will tell you they dont have any information on it.
I did a chat with tmobile a few minutes ago about preordering the note edge and they just said they dont have any information but to watch the page as it will be updated soon.

I'm interested in the Note Edge as well but I'm really hoping T-Mobile will have pre-ordering online.
Also, I'm kind of scared about how some people who have it in other regions are experiencing lag. The Note 4 has been receiving decent reviews and nobody has been mentioning any lag so since the Note Edge is basically a Note 4 with an edge screen, you would think the performance would be about the same.

Hope That's true I spoke to them yesterday for a half hour , and just got off the phone , I asked for retention so could get to talk to someone who really knows what there talking about not some parrot reading off of a computer screen , which is what I got yesterday , I hammered the question about 5 times about being able to pre order , even went as far as saying I know someone who pre ordered , (which was a little white lie to see what he would say) and he insisted that there was not not and never will be a preorder on that phone , seeing as how the will be on store shelves in 8 days not sure what help pre ordering or how much faster you would get your hands on the phone sooner then 8 days , I really hope you are correct and I was totally misled , guess we'll see Monday ........:good:

That's very good.
Only 10days off from the said Nov 4th release.
In that case tmobile should start taking preorders Nov 1st. That would be 2 weeks before launch. I believe they did the same amount of time with the note 4.
Now if we could get a price that would be nice. Either way im going to do my best to get it day one.

I believe the price is going to be in the 900 $ range ..plus tax , screen protector and case , this will probably be the most expensive phone sold the general public ever , I believe your going to pay aroung 1,000 when all is said and done , hope I'm wrong but that's what my research is telling me...

Yea I got the price range its said to be 850 to $870 plus tax.. Its not the highest I paid for a phone tho lol.
I brought a sony p990 which cost about $1100 some years ago.
And I already order me a screen protector and silicone case. Should be here right before the phone. The cases were $2 each and screen protector $4.
Edit.
Also some have said tmobile will start preorder on the 10th but who knows, all we know is it will be released the 14th
I also hope Tmobile does online preorders because I don't want to go from store to store seeing if they have any in stock and taking the chance that they may already be sold out by the time I get to each store.
Countdown!!!
Three more days to pre-order this bad boy. Can't wait. Going with T-Mobile $870 model. Ouch!!! Expensive but did you see AT&T price??? $945....Super OUCH!!! But....have to get it. Looking forward to see what DEVS get involved with this phone!!!! See you all soon!

I'm interested in the Note Edge as well but I'm really hoping T-Mobile will have pre-ordering online.
Also, I'm kind of scared about how some people who have it in other regions are experiencing lag. The Note 4 has been receiving decent reviews and nobody has been mentioning any lag so since the Note Edge is basically a Note 4 with an edge screen, you would think the performance would be about the same.

I must say my Edge seems way more smoother than my Note 4. Obviously Edge has the Exynos processor, and Note 4 has Snapdragon. My main concern right now is high RAM usage, I only have around 350MB free ram. Hope Samsung does something to improve this. The good news is that, I haven't had any issues of the device heating up at all so far which is great!
I just dropped by a local corporate store and they had no info on pre orders.
I even went to att since I read somewhere that on the 7th they would have a demo phone. They didn't have one. I was told that 11-17 is the release date.

LG V20 Sprint pre-orders?

Just pre-ordered mine. Let's hope the bootloader is unlockable like T-Mobile's or it's bye bye sprint for me!
Just ordered mine as well Sir!!
This will replace my Note 4.
I just hope it really turns out to be the phone every youtube reviewer says it is
Agree. Would like to know before shelling out $850 with tax and 15% restock fee if I want to return it. Been spending a lot of time on t-mobile site looking at plans over the past week just in case.
Saw your work on the N7. Good to see you're here too.
My hunch is that it's locked down. Hope I'm 100% wrong.

Wat up! ordered mine earlier and did a trade in over the phone. ?
Sent from my Nexus 6P
They aren't accepting my G3 for the trade in. Errrr!
Just pre ordered. Hoping for unlocked bootloader as well.

Preordered this morning. Got a big old rebate for being with Sprint too long. After all it's said and done... Final cost to me should be$340 no contract over 24 months
I went in to the store to preorder and left with a brand new v20 in hand. Pretty nice surprise.

I saw the shipment... But the local wasn't dealing them out. Poor order handsets are evidently supposed to be a separate shipment.

How the heck did that happen?? They released a week early?
Can you check to see if the bootloader is unlockable?

How do I do that? Pretend I'm a moran and make the steps painfully exact.
Just returned from corp store and they had it in stock and sold one to me.
ETA: you probably don't have to pretend... I'm just spoiled from years of Odin on my N2
Same here, pre ordered today.
Went from the Note 7, then bought a Nexus 6p.
Figured I'd take a shot at LG for the very first time. Hearing the BL is locked is sort of a bummer. Hopefully things will get worked out sooner rather than later.
I went to my local store to pre-order. They had the phones in stock, but wouldn't sell one to me even though I'm still rocking the note 7. They did hold one for me for monday though. Also they're allowing me to trade in an iPhone 4s for the $200 credit.

Just curious, why Monday? Isn't the release date the 28th? Either way, that's awesome man.
I called the store today as ell, but they had none in stock, and told me to call back next Friday lol. Figures.
I'm hoping for a Monday delivery day. Gotta return my 5p tomorrow and activate my incredibly, super old HTC EVO 3D.......Ya baby!
Not sure why Monday but the boss said they were selling them starting Monday. I'm also not sure what difference 2 days makes. I would have been super happy to walk out with a v20 today. The salesmen already had one, but he got yelled at for selling himself one.

I saw v20 stock at my store when I preordered on Friday... But they wouldn't let me leave with one. Stupid Sprint corporate.
I even called and chatted with sprint and they wouldn't do anything for me. They keep sending me texts to trade in my note 7, but wouldn't let when I tried.

Jeez, you think they would have in that case of surrendering your N7. Got rid of mine last week too, super bummed out.
Returned mine. No bootloader unlock sucks
