I am going to buy the Google S4 when it is released on the 26th. Does anyone know what time Google normally puts up new devices for sale? I want to make sure I get one early in case they sell out.
Also will XDA have a Google Edition Device forum?
It should be up in the play store tommorow.

I understand that but does anyone know what time?
Save your time and money, get a i9505 and flash AOSP.

Official AOSP also be devices that were purchased through Google?
Lol can't wait to build it for my i9505
I'm betting it will be released around noon, US time. (GMT-6 to GMT-9) I think.

I purchased a nexus 7 as a gift for a family member that lives overseas. Is there anything that will be affected in terms of updates and or general usage aside from the charger? I don't want to give them a headache if I can avoid it, so any info would be a big help before sending it. If there is anything I should know or do in preparation for them I would much appreciate any info, Thanks!

No.I m n Thailand
And. Been in Europe.
So far so good....
So is there no change in the software at all? I apologize I am new to anything nexus as I am mainly familiar with Samsung stuff. I know for instance the galaxy note 10.1 has ics in usa officially and Germany already has Jellybean. are updates like that likely to be the same?
Thank you for the reply!

As far as I know,
I'm going to Asia next few months ( in this case, we use Asia for example) and I called Google regarding my concerns. What I know is that the
GPS and navigation will definitely work.
The play store seem like only the app will work, Movie/music/TVshow/ magazine will not work if I did not remember anything wrong.
Android updates for the Nexus 7 will be continued I think. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.
Correct.I have no book here...
OTA updates work everywhere, the only thing that changes are the play store offerings
Awesome. Thank you all for the information, I appreciate the help.

Can anyone verify if the Wi-Fi will work on channels 12 and 13? I know some US devices don't like my Sony Xperia.
Do any of you guys think that Samsung releasing a Google edition will help their other phones such as this get future os updates any quicker. Maybe Google will let them and HTC get a glimpse of the code faster? Thoughts?

I doubt it. I'm sure Google lets Samsung/HTC take a look at upcoming code and builds of Android. I don't know how much work they'd really put into it until the next version is "finalized" by Google. After that, Samsung/HTC has to finish putting their custom touches on the phone, test it, then submit for carrier approval... who then has to put their custom touches on it, test it, before finally pushing it out.
In short, no, I don't think it'll matter.
I was thinking of getting one but I can buy two n4's one white and one black for just about the same price. Hmmm
Not to rain on anyone's parade, but why not buy the AT&T version of the S4 and flash the Task650 rom? Way more customization than the stock google experience can offer.

yup. i think users would be surprised how quickly they'd get bored on their google edition s4's and end up rooting/flashing anyways.
Tasks Roms are the sh!$ lol. That's prob what I will do

I am about it buy it off of google so i do not get t-mobile's extra carrier apps that waste my space. currently it is 350 for 16gb and i was wondering if any of you regret buying it or should i purchase it.
Thank you!
Edit: I know there is no LTE, so so battery and camera, are those game changers, if not are there any other major problems?
I bought it 1 awhile back and it was great phone. Back cracked after a week in a case never dropped or abused. That was my only complaint and lack of lte support

T-mobile ones don't come with any extra software. Exactly the same as from Google.

and it has lte, its just disabled. its possible to enable and use on tmobiles lte, i am. its actually an awesome device, i wouldnt ever trade it for a gs4 or an htc one.
I just placed my order!, thanks guys
It's a great device. Just only one problem i found is the device getting hot quite quick when play high graphic performance game.
Hi, I'm trying to get a N4 but as you all know Google has "tagged" N4 as out of stock on their play store and it's impossible for me to get one from where I live. A friend of mine is going to Australia in the next few day and thinking of getting one for me as a "souvenir" but worried that it's out of stock there too, so does anyone know if the N4's still available in Australia?
Thanks in advance.

I read google edition phones will get it in 15 days. I'll be so jealous if htc one that I abandoned because of note gets it faster

Oh, I meant to our att note 3 phones. Oh yea, my nexus 4 will be one of the first getting the update. Can't wait to play with it, I might even swap sims. The aosp 4.4 filechain has already been uploaded I'm just waiting for device specific.
HTC One 90 days from today. Note 3? Years.
Probably by the Note 5 well have it

I laughed when I saw "Htc One will get 4.4 in 90 days" in the US. That's just plain not gonna happen. Sprint HTC One just got 4.3 when I left for this Note and At&T. I imagine it will be a while before any phone with a skin (Sense, Touchwiz, etc) gets 4.4.
Yea more then likely not until the next note comes out.

Install the Google Experience Launcher and your pretty much good to go. Most of the apk are out and about as well. I have the new Hangouts and Keyboard apks running just fine on my bone stock Note 3. The only thing missing is being able to talk to the phone, which would wear off for me after the novelty set in

You could download the nexus 5 image and extract it from that, but I couldn't find it with a quick Google search.

The developer version will get it in 30 days. So the HTC One Max will be the first phablet to be getting 4.4. That sucks. For us anyways.
I'm not trippin to hard. I'm about to flash 4.4 on my lgog

You have the Google launcher installed and are not able to say the hot word on the home screen to launch a search right? That's the state I'm in but the first time I installed it I had the "OK Google now" hot words working and I could search without button pressing. The I got greedy and installed almost everything I could from the dump and it went downhill from there. Had to reinstall stock with root to get back to a clean state and now I Dont have the hot word functionality...boo

What phones? The One? Porting a rom on an S-offed phone does not count as HTC delivering 4.4 with Sense 5.5 in 90 days to all US versions. It will be impressive if it's done, but give their (and every other phone with a skin) track record, I don't see it.
AT&T will probably deliver 4.4 when Google rolls out its next version. Hell phones like the S4 and One just got 4.3 weeks ago I believe. I already have 4.4 running on my Nexus 4 perfectly thanks to the guys here who ported the Nexus 5 Build.
