Does anyone know about how long shipping is and is there anything cool i can do to it once i get it or any good apps to download? Thanks
Did you try reading ANY of the numerous threads on this forum that discuss everything you've asked?
hey c'mon, the dude is excited! this isn't an 'iphone' forum, no need to bash him!
i find it fun to 'race' the iphoners in my office with a simple 'google' search...
someone calls out a 'thing' to look up...while they are typing away, you use voice search and BAM, you smoke em.
i know, childish, however, so much fun to stick it to iphoners.
Shipping is 1-2 days and apps are easy to find once you have the phone..
As the previous poster mentioned, I would place my bet for Wednesday.
As for apps.
You can google for some decent lists. 101android ro something.(just google best android apps)
Stuff i will personally recommend.
1) Get Google voice set-up for voicemail. Extremely cool. Text transcriptions definitely give you the jist(but certainly miss some words).
2)Dolphin Browser - Multi touch web browser.
3)TaskKiller - I like the widget for killing apps I want to full close.
4) Ebuddy/Meebo for an instant messenger.
5) Live Scores for sports scores. Only one that seems to be updated quickly.(maybe 30 seconds behind sportsline.com or so)
6)BetterCut - I paid for this(2.99???). It lets you adjust your homescreen short cuts. Download icon packs and use new icons/different words etc.. Makes for cleaner home screens. Free version is Anycut.
7) AContacts - Shows your call log with exact timing. Something i prefer to normal one.
8)Beamreader - PDF viewer.
9)Gdocs - Google docs viewer basically. Useful to view MS office stuff.
10) Ring toggle - very simple ringtone/vibrate toggle thing. I like it.
11) Agend Widget - Best widget to show calendar on home screen
12) Istockmanager - If you use TD Ameritrade this program is amazing. Level 2, trading etc, all real time, charts, the works
13)Tune Wiki - A tad better then installed music player
I spent more time then i expected on this post! Anyways, you can work at setting up your calendar/gdocs/even contacts to some degree all ready through google if you want. They all sync anyways. There are a ton more awesome programs, but those are the ones I have used over the last year or 2 on android(and redownloaded for nexus one)
Congratz, your going to enjoy it! Check out the threads here for the good scoop!

Congrats...i just got mine last Thursday..
Here is some info about delivery time frame
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619572
I'm considering replacing my wife with mine. I'm just waiting for the right app to come out ;-)
Though I should have really thought that one out before I named him Sam Google.....
Oh man I'm so pumped too. I ordered mine on Saturday, and spent all day thinking it wouldn't be shipped out today because of the holiday, then got an email at 11:20pm EST saying it has been shipped and will be delivered by 3pm tomorrow (Tuesday). YES!
So yeah, you will probably get it Wednesday.
please we do not need the mail man, see you faint once he comes walking at your door. hehe j/k =) hope you enjoy your phone. it rocks!
Just got it a few hours ago, stayed home from school so i wouldnt miss the fedex guy. haha

I know the phone is pretty cool, but replacing your wife with a nexus is a little extreme.

lol! Actually that app would rake in millions.. Hmm.. I guess it's time to install the sdk
So, I'm not sure what to make of this email, I'm wondering if it's because I recently updated to the AOSP 2.1 ROM that Darchstar is working on. I certainly didn't buy a Nexus One, but I hope by some stretch of luck that I'm getting one for free! Nah, will never happen
Here's the email:

We sent you this one-time welcome message because you recently purchased an Android-powered phone
Hmm, I never got one of those...It would sure make me feel special if i did though! lol
Yeah I got one to when I wad running that Rom too
I also recieved an email like that but I was running Fresh 1.0
ugh...knew it was too good to be true.
I'm gonna wait for the HTC desire/supersonic anyway
Yeah got it too with the darchstar AOSP 2.1, hopefully we don't get charged the early termination fee from google if we change to a different rom.
Lol I got one too. I think its really funny If only I had a cmda nexus one
I got an email from Steve Jobs telling me how I had made an excellent decision by sticking to an Android based device. What a guy.
i got the same email this morning after installing 2.1 last night.
lol
i got that email too. weird, huh?
Did it actually show up in your gmail box on the web, or was it just in your phone, kinda like microsoft does when you first set up an email, it puts a welcome email in your inbox.
I got one too

It was in my web based gmail inbox, although it could have come to my phone's box first.
Was in my web gmail too. It happened when I loaded the 2.1 AOSP, so maybe it thinks I have nexus one because it is only device that runs 2.1 out of box?

It would have been MUCH cooler if somehow Darchstar had hacked a way for us to get free Nexus Ones

I been Drooling over that phone since it was just listed as a WiMax device. I live in Vegas, and already have Clearwire for internet, would love to get 4G on my cellular!
I have Optimum for internet, but 4G on the Supersonic would be sa-weet!
Hi,
New to android and the arc and loving it after being stuck on a 2year WM6.5 contract.
What I want to know is if there is a way to cycle through your live wallpapers so you can either choose the order, have a random selection or specify certain wallpapers for certain times of the day.
If there is something out there that does this already or if it has the potntial to be developed then I would be very interested.

Hmm, not quite - from the description this appears to cycle through selected images or from a folder of pictures. What I'm really looking for is something that would have my fireworks lwp at night and weather lwp during the day etc. More of a scheduler. Probably not such a great idea or in demand I suppose else I'm sure somebody would have done it by now.
What about this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pwall&feature=search_result
Dunno if it will do live wallpapers or not, but the guy offers a 24 hour refund & there's probably a demo too, so worth a look.

Same here LOL
I do not think I would like FB as the 'center' of my phone...I will give it a shot but doubt I will keep it.
I hate face book overall lol.. Don't use the app won't even touch this thing.. Don't like anyone stalking my life neither I like to see what others are doing with their life in real time.. Rather to visit in person my good friends and talk.. Probably do a barbecue and drink a bear.. :thumbdown:

Yeah will probably play around with it a bit. But that's about it I guess. Good that it's a launcher though tbf. You could get rid of it when you're sick of it.
I won't bother with this crap. No widgets!!!
I think it is a bad thing especially since they will be downloading stuff in the background all the time. My wife read that the program FaceBook Home uses for the camera Instagram will replace the stock one and that some people have had trouble returning to stock. I don't know if this is true but lots of people have had trouble with uninstalling FaceBook. So I would not even try it until others have tried it and removed it successfully.
1 minute in and I decided that it's not for me.
My world doesn't revolve around FB enough that I want it to rule my phone. Not to mention with how sketchy they are with changing privacy settings.
will try, but will uninstall asap,
cuase of sucking battery and data usage
i think i will give it a try
Does this crap replace the FB app? If so, I'm going to completely uninstall it and just use the http.
No way I will use Facebook home. Facebook is scary. ..

I do use the Facebook app and especially the Messenger app, I am not a very active user on Facebook but it's great to contact and keep in touch with certain "less connected" friends/relatives/acquaintances.
That said, just thinking of replacing Nova Launcher Prime with it makes me LOL just like replacing my car with an ice cream cart would... :laugh:
I would give a try, n see how things working, but it is scary thought to involve private life too much including all phone os... I may require facebook to stay just as simple application when ever I run.
Not to be sycnc with everything I do.
Can someone upload the shell apk? Can't see to get Mega to dl on my phone :/
I tried the pre-release version posted on Modaco. Hated the experience. Felt like a straightjacket! Am back to Nova Launcher now. Phew! For those who want to test it out, here is the link. It works fine on Note II.

EDIT
If you are not able to download from Mega, here is the file - unzip and install the three apks inside like you would normally do. You might have to uninstall the existing FB app first.

Over on Reddit someone got ahold of US spec software for the Note 4 and is answering questions now.

Did you notice the auto-brightness +5 to -5 slider that is in the shown in the notification panel? Looks like they added that feature in their software, or it was always there and we just needed Wanam to activate it. Either way, I'm glad it is included by default finally.
Damn that looks nice!! Especially the volume rocker is siiiickkk
Something not right about the signal bars.
Generic LTE signal bar, so not a T-Mo, VZW or AT&T variant.

He didnt mention a specific carrier, could be the unlocked Snapdragon variant.

I love that feature.
He could be using the unlocked developer version.
I want to know why everyone else is getting leaks and we just get crickets
this is a good sign! hopefully we'll all get it soon.
If it runs the way Im hoping it runs I will be back to touchwiz to take full advantage of my Note 4! I just cant stand the delay in the recent apps or the little bits here and there.

It sucks that Lollipop has the heads up notifications instead of the classic notification ticker. You either get a huge banner that covers part of your screen for 10 seconds, or you get a single icon in the status bar.
I wish Samsung had implemented an option to choose the classic (as it is in 4.4) or new Lollipop style (looks like iPhone banners).
Well I noticed that Favorites is spelled the European way "Favourites"
I suppose that may mean nothing but still doesn't look ready for us yet
