I really wanted to get the N10, I really did. But Google just had to **** it up with their terrible customer service and a ****ty checkout system that spews out errors every single time. I'm done waiting around, so now looking for an alternative, any suggestions/recommendations?
I'm more of an Android fan obv.
TIA.
UPDATE: I ordered mines after a few e-mails with Google. Got the beast. It's amazing!
Ordering from Google was a piece of cake for me. I ordered it on a Saturday, got it that Thursday (Lexington, KY to Los Angeles). But I've never had to deal with their Support, so I'll take your word on that.
Having said that, I honestly don't think you'll find another tab that compares with the N10, but I love mine so much I'm hardly objective. I believe if you persevere with Google you'll thank yourself down the road.

Their support is basically "read the online help sections!!!!".
Anyway, I got this email just now from Google:
"Hello,
During a recent review of your Google Checkout account, we were unable to
verify your information.
As a result, your account has been temporarily suspended and you will be
unable to place orders. In order to resolve this situation, please provide
us with the requested information of MR XXXX
within 3 business days by filling out this form"
Um, I have been buying apps with this account for a long time now. What gives?
You got me, bud. If it's a credit card issue, maybe your card company can help. Sometimes when your billing address isn't *exactly* as it's written on your statement it can cause problems. But if you've been been using the same card all along, that's probably not it. I know because of the expense of the tab, my card company called me to confirm I had placed the order before they would authorize it. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I would tell you to buy from Amazon, but the last I checked, their pricing was higher.

The best alternative right now is IMO is the Kindle HD 8.9, but it is much more difficult to root and all that. If you wait a few more months other companies will have powerful tablets out with new processors and probably high res screens.
You could buy the nexus at retail too? I almost got the Samsung note 10.1 myself. Its screen isn't as nice and I would miss a few other things like the front facing speakers. But the note has the stylus and doesn't have the habit of rebooting unexpectedly either.
Aren't you going to have to straighten out Google's credit card issue in order to buy apps in the future anyway?

The note also has front facing speakers. The shape is very similar to the n10. Major difference is the note has a plastic feel to it and in my opinion doesn't feel as solid as the n10.
Also the note does not suffer from light bleed bit you're right, the screen is not as nice!

I'm in UK, and I don't think any retails sell the N10. I would have bought from Amazon but they are £100 more dearer and eBay prices are just insane - in comparison to Google's price tag.
The main reason why I want the N10 is for the screen. I'm a picky prick when it comes to screen resolution. Is light bleed a huge deal on these devices?
I've sent Google the docs they asked for anyway.

Only alternative that ccould match up with the n10 is going to the the Sony Xperia Tablet Z but you will have to wait another month or two. It may actually be a little faster than the n10 as well.
There has been a lot of complaints regarding light bleed but personally it wasn't an issue. Sure I can see some slight paleness on 2 sides in the dark at max brightness but in regular light using auto-brightness I don't see it on a dark screen. And quite frankly I would never have even noticed if it hadn't been for the notorious thread here. LOL
Best alternative its to wait for a new product... Nexus 10 II ... Maybe these guys from google will solve issues with battery life and with charging time.. Its a shame that you have almost perfect configuration but unable to use because of not enough juice. Not a complete satisfaction and this make you angry and tired to be dissapointed. Good luck

There are various experience with the battery... I dont know where its the problem. I tired all the variants. Kernels rom.. Brightness etc but i cant get more of 5 hours screen on ( normal use)
I realized the problem imediatly after ive got the tablet.. 3 hours at that time from 100 % to 0 %... After few cycles ive got 5 hours but after more cycles she remained at this average. I can not do a RMA anymore. Mine doesn't have screen bleeding. Maybe you will have luck to find one with battery and screen ok. By the way, the screen its nice but not so amasing . No deep Black make sometimes screen look cheap LCD. And so what its grate for some if they almost all keep it like 30% for keep the battery alive more. Sorry for my english
Anyway the main reason i like it its because it rolls android... And have a good cpu... Besides this horror customer care from google. No original accesorie yet after months from launch... That is not the way i hoped from a monster like google and Samsung.

Samsung note 10.1
I think this tablet is the best alternative right now, because color reproduction is more vibrant then the N10. Black is deep, other main color like red,blue,and green look much more attractive to the eyes beside from the true multitasking. ( That's why I return N10 for the note 10.1). The screen isn't that sharp compare to the N10 but it isn't that bad. (If you use the tab at a right distance, then you won't notice the pixels). Color and the true multi screens, and S-pen are a plus for the Note 10.1. In my opinion, It is the best tab since I already used the Asus transformer prime, Microsoft Surface, Nexus 10. Sorry about my English and I hope this help you.
Even my HTC desire 2.5 years old amoled display it has deeper black than n10. Don t be so overexcited. Let the big companies that already have the next 10 year tehnology deliver to us the goods faster instead of asking 500 dollars on a product that has so many anoing insuficiences.
We need a little small official pogo cable for 4 months guys... Wtf.. And Its not ready yet... This is a nice comedy with us playing in ...
I was having also Asus infinity - laggy as hell like an old 94 computer... I give it back în hope that master google give us something for 2013. Flowless device ... I was so wrong

An amoled will ALWAYS have better blacks then an LCD. Its the nature if the display. Blacks on an Amoled are pixels that are turned off, whereas an LCD panel reproduces blacks while lit. Produced blacks (amoled) > Reproduced blacks (LCD). The trade off is worse battery life, inaccurate (but over saturated, which people love) colors, and mostly god awful whites.
The Nexus 10 is a fabulous tablet. It has its issues, they all do. But for a power user like myself, there isn't even a competition. I cannot use a Touchwiz device, and ASUS burned their bridge with me over the Nexus 7. (EMMC issues, build quality nonexistent). Sony is a true competitor but I cannot stand around for months waiting for a company to issue an update. Developers are great, and porting AOSP and CM are good in general, but they have issues and most of the time the cons outweigh the pros and I have to fall back to a stock based system. To each their own though, there is not a "One tablet fits all", even the iPad isn't perfect. I couldn't get past the Apple wall, and 4:3 aspect ratio

Amoled screens have an infinite contrast ratio, your HTC Desire will have deeper blacks the an any single non amoled device out there, put it next to an iPhone, a Nexus 4, a Droid DNA and the result will be the same.
The black levels could be better here, I won't deny that.
Wait for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. It's rumored to have a high resolution screen like the Nexus 10. Hopefully one with deeper blacks and punchier colours though.
Hopefully it will be announced on the 14th of March with the SGS4.
Just curious...is the Nook HD+ with Cyanogen worth a look? It's a bit bare-bones compared to the N10 (no BT, no camera) but otherwise, it seemed like a good value @ $269. From what I can tell, you can even buy an N2A card to make the transition to CM painless.

If you don't need Android... The iPad 4 is a decent enough alternative. Slightly heavier, thicker and lower resolution screen. They are on sometimes on sale too.
In android world... If not the nexus... Maybe the new Asus Memo. It's a 300 tegra 3 tablet... SD and it looks like Asus fixed the memory. If not the nexus, I'd honestly wait because a whole new generation of processors are coming.

Hey guys
I'm looking at potentially buying a 16gb Nexus 4 and just had some questions regarding its performance.
Gripes I have with my SGS2 running CM10.1:
Texting a bunch of people at once, receving and sending a lot of SMS messages, phone lags considerably
Sending SMS messages, there is usually lag between sending the SMS, and it popping up on the screen
Random UI lag opening apps, closing, etc etc
Does the Nexus 4 have any of these "lag" issues? The whole reason I want to switch is to get rid of all the lag I face which with heavy usage (what I do), is considerable.
I've never seen videos of mass SMS on the Nexus 4 or anyone doing any heavy usage on it so I can't tell myself...
I used one at the store and it seemed quite snappy...just hard to tell without using it a lot. I'm really not looking for gaming performance or anything like that...I only care about day-to-day UI lag which I have on my S2.
I don't want to upgrade for nothing...I know it's considerably better than my S2...but how much better?
Thanks,
Elliott

I haven't had any. The only lag I get is the bloody XDA app. I hear that is pretty universal, though.
This phone is one of the fastest phones you can buy on the market and one major reason it is so fast is because it has no custom skins to slow the phone down.
Thanks guys...anyone else?
Starholdest said:
Thanks guys...now reading about the battery life I'm a bit put off...
It seems as though even people who have similar routines are getting wildly different battery life from each other...have read good things about Franco's kernel...but even then some people still report like 1.5 hours of SoT...a bit ridiculous but it seems to be all over the board. Obviously it depends how you use it but they don't say heavy usage was involved...no wakelocks.
Worries me coming from an S2 with an extended battery.

Lol...what is your battery life like? How much screen on time specifically? Anyway I didn't really want to turn this into a battery debate so I deleted that post.
Can't go wrong with the N4; absolutely no lag whatsoever and the best Android experience I've had so far, and I've owned (in order) a Droid X, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3 and an HTC One X.
The infamous heat issue is solved pretty easily with a custom kernel, that and the on-screen time you're aiming for

I had SGS2 and I switched to Nexus 4..
Using AOKP + custom kernel on it atm.
No lag or at all
Never really had 4 or 5 people sms me at once, but I run multiplies apps and is smooth as butter!
As for battery life, you are not going to get the same amount as you get in S2..I'm I am a light user; I will end up with 65~70% at the end of the day.
Get around 20% per and hour when browsering .. so 5 hours?
And you do get a better/bigger screen.
Thanks guys! QUIETLYloud is that on stock ROM and stock kernel? That's pretty amazing...although what were you doing the whole time?
bobola what kernel are you using?
7 hours is achievable only by looking at a black screen. 4 hours is more realistic.
By the way this is the fastest phone ever.
This phone rocks, I just sold the Note 2 to get this. I like my Nexus 4 better than Note 2. And much better than my two last year phones, the HTC One X international, and Galaxy Nexus.
Battery life is second best next to the Note 2 I had, but is better than the One X and Galaxy Nexus for sure.
I get around 4h On Screen time, sometimes 5h. Also total battery life throughout the day, can range from 10 hours total on super busy workdays, using phone non stop, to 16 - 18 hours on light days.
This phone will not give you 24+ hours battery life with heavy use, no. But its not as bad as many Android phones either. I'd rate the N4 battery life above medium.

Oh yeah, the size of the Nexus 4 = best.
4.7" is just right to me, not iPhone 5 tiny, but also not outrageously huge like Note 2 I had. Even the Galaxy S4 at 5" will be borderline hard to truly one hand operate with ease.
Please Nexus-Five, no larger than 4.8".

The color of the screen has absolutely no bearing on battery usage on a non-AMOLED handset. AMOLED, sure, each pixel is also it's own light source (black = no light, white = most light). LCD screens with a backlight? No. The only factor there is screen brightness; every pixel is lit from the same light source in LCD no matter what color they are.
Now, if you meant that the phone was doing absolutely nothing but displaying a static image on lowest brightness, that would make a difference. That would make more sense considering that the battery history does show that while the screen was on for extended periods of time the phone itself has very little awake time. Then again, I think the awake time indicator is for wakelocks when the screen is off. Either way, it's a very odd looking battery stats screen.
This phone rocks.
Nexus phones just feel so right to me. Good comfortable size, and the stock OS is just so slim and light, minimalistic, no bullsh!t bloat, no stupid UI's that still use Gingerbread green colors and themes ( looking at you Touchjizz, and Senseless )
I love the front bezel, all black, no branding on it. And this screen looks very nice, once calibrated with custom kernel.
Thing is, Nexus phone are never top spec power beasts, they come out at an odd time for Android releases. Like most high end new Android phones are released in Spring, where Nexus is always Fall. Samsung, HTC, and Sony release their top phones in Spring. So you can look at a Nexus as outdated hardware wise in just a few months after release.
At launch end of year, a Nexus phone is the top spec of that year, but not by much, just slightly best specs. But come 4 to 5 months later they are easily outdone by the next gen phones of the new year.
Saying all that, I still take a Nexus 4 over anything else now. And the Nexus-Five will be best phone of 2013, with Android 5.0 KLP, and Snapdragon 800, with a 3100mAh battery, released this Fall.

Hey all,
I am kind of curious as to what everyone's opinions of the one are.
I currently have the dual core Telstra one xl, considering upgrading to the one.

Try one at the shops. I think some Vodafone shops have them already. They are pretty awesome. Screen is amazing, build is way more premium than the One XL and the speed is very fast. Camera seems great, Sense 5 seems better than Sense 4 but still an acquired taste (I prefer stock Google AOSP look'n'feel).
I am very torn. I wonder how much I can get if I sell my One XL?
For me it's worth upgrading.
It depends. its somewhat of a major update.
New unibody design. 1080p vs 720, dual core vs quadcore, boomsound, and a new camera.
Let's not forget 2 GB of RAM for multitasking. And a much better GPU. Plus its probably the most beautiful phone ever built.
Kinda sad that I won't be getting one after all due to the delayed deliveries in Poland
Then again, I think I'm starting to fall in love with my new Note 2's screen....
I am upgrading from an X+ which is not as big a jump but just can't pass up this one as it is very cool.

I started off making fun of the One’s design. Speakers on the front?! No multitasking button?!? What is this abomination?!?! I’ll keep my One XL, thank you very much!
Then reviews came out…and more…and more…and I began to appreciate the beauty of the design.
Yesterday I went to an AT&T store and they didn’t have a floor model, but they had one in the back they were willing to show me. I spent about 10 minutes with the device, and I was sold. At one point I had both the One and the One XL in my hand, and my One XL felt immediately dated – like a plastic-based prototype of the phone HTC really wanted to make. I gave in and pre-ordered before I left the store.
I’m not the kind of person who upgrades phones every year. I went from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 4 to the One XL…but 10 minutes with the One and I just knew I couldn’t pass it up. Between the almost-compromise-free feature set and the Apple-esque build quality, I could see this phone lasting me for 2 years, if not longer.
Of course, it’s quite possible I’m just gushing because I haven’t spent enough time with it, and reality will shatter my current opinion. I guess I’ll know for sure in 10 days.
If nothing else, my One XL will live on as my "mess around with" device, and knowing HTC's (and AT&T's) history of updates, I'll probably be running Android 5.0 on it before I'm running it on my One.
can anyone tell me how the ONE handles the multitasking? specifically when switching between apps from the recent apps window? I remember when i had the ONE X it was one of the reasons I took it back and got the S3. But I do remember the one x had the best view of screen in outdoor direct sunlight and best sound I have ever heard from a phone when plugged into my car radio.

This is what I saw from my relatively brief experience in the store. Coming from a One XL, I knew what to look for, and it didn't seem like apps were refreshing in the background during active usage the same way they do on the One XL - it only seemed to happen when the phone has been idle for a long period of time.
Still, I'd need more than 10 minutes of usage to say for sure.
Thanks for taking the time to respond
I think it is settled. I will retire my one xl to a work phone and get the one for a personal phone.

Hello everybody! I believe it's about time for me to upgrade my phone, I have got a LG Optimus 2X running paranoid android 2.6. I like to try different roms, and most importantly: I like the stock Android experience! Recently I have been taking a look at the Nexus 4, and I have also tried it in store. There are however two factors that I am unsure of: How does the screen match today's flagships in sunlight? How long will the battery last me with average usage (Couple of sms, phone calls and a bit of music)? I am very thankful for any helpful answers in this matter!

Under sunlight this phone is very good. Definitely better than SAMOLED displays. I never have problems viewing under the sun.
Battery life is subjective but mine lasts the day. I text often and use twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. I also listen to Google all access music.
With the combination of specs and price, the N4 is still the best phone out there IMO.

All phone screens suck in sunlight. This one fairs better than others. If your not a heavy phone user you should be fine battery wise. I'm on the damn thing all day browsing the internet, texting, some gaming, you tube and this is the first phone (without extended battery) that I didn't need to plug in at 2 pm. For the price it is definitely the best phone out there.

With that type of use you would get through a day without a problem, so don't worry about the battery.
As for the screen, it's not the best in direct sunlight, but it's definitely better than amoled.
The only problem you should know about is the delayed notifications (email, whatsapp..) over wifi due to the buggy wifi driver from qualcomm.

Not rooted this phone comes with horrible colors compared to an HTC One or an iPhone 5 and bad battery life.
Rooted and with another kernel maybe or UV settings it's pretty good.
I will probably root it and install paranoid android or something just to try it out, so I am open to try custom kernels, settings, roms and such. The thing that worries me is that a lot of resellers here in Sweden are about to stop selling the Nexus. Are there any confirmed rumors or news about a new nexus, or maybe an updated nexus 4? If not, then I'll buy it!

IMO, I think it's better to buy a phone ~6 months after it's release date anyway. That way, other people have developed ROMs, found and fixed software glitches, and the manufacturer has made revisions to the hardware, giving you the phone in it's prime. Plus, Google has been known to botch the shipment of the first few batches of phones after release.
get the n4, new android os is coming soon!
Screen is visible outdoors, and with the usage you described you'll get through a day no problem. My advice would be to buy from Google.

Ok guys which one would you reccomend? I know the opinions here are going to be a bit biased towards the 6p but I'm posting here as that's the one I'm currently leaning towards. As you guys probably have the 6p already it would be good to know your thoughts on what you think would be the better device and what things let the 6p down. Thanks.
Also I have small hands but tend to use all my phone 2 handed anyway so not sure it matters about size?

Returned my pure in a week, loud speakers but the quality was not great, battery life was horrible, great screen, great moto features, average camera, and has A LOT of trouble with third party quick charge 2.0 accessories (main reason for returning this POS, my quick cj charge 2.0 battery packs wouldn't even charge this thing) I even experienced lag once or twice but it was very rares. 5x, well I had this within the same month and the phone just feels cheap and nothing stood out from it. I paid $480 for a 32gb and it was only about $70 more I could get a 32gb 6p which had a much much better build quality... I HAD to return it to get a 6P
Do you have the 6p now? What do you think? I'm a bit worried about battery and im very slightly worried about bending that I've heard of although this isn't a deal breaker for me as I tend to take care of my phones (unlike the misses who just got the nexus 5x as she broke her galaxy S6 lol)
If I do decide to take the plunge and get the 6p this will be my 4th phone in a year, I think I have an addiction!

Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned about build quality issues. My phone feels solid, and more so with the microfiber case. Honestly I was surprised how solid the case itself feels on the phone, considering it is simply a tpu case. My only gripe is lack of band 12....which I hope is officially supported soon.

I was looking at that case on the Google store, it looks nice but a bit pricey, I think I would go with spigen or something similar.
How are you finding the battery life?

It is a bit pricy, but I went with it because of concerns with proper sizing/cutouts from the initial third party batches.
I have only had the phone 2 days(received Monday night), but I got a little over 5 hours sot yesterday, with some music in between.

5 hours isn't bad. Was that on WiFi or LTE? If I could get 5 hours SoT I would be super happy as that's roughly what I get on my galaxy s6

Should be noted that I do not use social apps, including fb and messenger. That could affect your own battery life.

LTE. I have an unlimited plan so I usually run with WiFi off.
Well I went on a mad hunt today for 4 hours around Birmingham england carphone warehouse stores being told by each store "we don't have it but this one does" the store before last told me the nexus 6p wasn't out till tomorrow so I went back to the first store I visited and was told they had just had a delivery and finally got it! After 4 bloody hours! Anyway so far I'm liking it but it is a rather tall slab lol
I have all these devices and prefer the 6p. The moto x is a great device, fits better in the hand (if you do not use a case), smaller bezels and so on. But all around the 6P is the better device. And it is beautiful. 5X is good but the screen doesn't match.
