Hi guys,
I bought Nexus One while on a trip to US and I'm extremely happy with the phone so far.
Two nits are that I cannot access any paid apps. I was using dev G1 before so I actually never saw paid apps on my phone, but now I with N1 I was hoping I'll be able to buy them.
Is it because my SIM card is not in US? Or what? How can I turn it on?
Related question is about navigation system. I know it's turned off by default outside of US, but I also know people turned it on. I assume I need some app for it (NaviLink?), that I have to buy (see point 1) so I need paid apps first, and then some file. Is that all I need? Am I right that this will give me car navigation capability?
thnx
Ok so we have had many threads about our fears form verizon and what they will do to this beautiful machine. So i decided to start a thread and hopefully collect all of our questions to the dare devils who pre ordered , so when they get the phone they can perhaps better answer our questions. SO thank you in advance to any one who can contribute, whether it be more questions , or answers when the time comes !
1-Does it have the nagging wifi and gps icons ?
2-can we still have the ability to disable ANY app we want , as in other versions of note 3 , innately and not using any root method ?
3-can we surf and talk on 3g ?
4-can we simultaneously use bluetooth and aux ? phone calls routed to bluetooth when a call comes while auxiliary is plugged in ?
5- feature of moving app to sd still there , or disabled ?
6-anyway to disable 4g without root ?
7-Will Verizon cover the wireless charging ports like they did on the note 2?
the point of all these questions is whether we can deal with the phone stock, if god forbid , root is never realized , then we gotta love it the way its made.
Sometimes its hard to test all these functions in store, so the help is much obliged
any one else want another question answered , pm me, and i will edit the post and try to add the answers if new owners are kind enough to tell us !

The question really is why wouldn't they. It said in another thread they'll have the wireless back plate s view cover. I just went into a Verizon store and the rep said they would have both variants, the regular s view and wireless backplate

On the note 2 sprint and Verizon covered them up. I see sprint did not cover them up on the note 3. Hoping Verizon does not either

What I'm saying is why would verizon sell the s view cover wireless backplate if they aren't going to cover them up

I think you're confused... What they're trying to say by stating that the contacts were covered up on the note 2 is that they were inaccessible without modifying the phone physically.
they are not covered up, Verizon computer system has a skew for wireless charging plate and wireless s view cover. The dang wirless s view cover is almost $100!!! wtf
$100? Someone @ Verizon has been sniffing glue again.
Any would you want to disable 4g?

1- to save battery in low 4 g signal areas
2- to ensure data limit is not reached in 1 day
3-to have consistency of signal while traveling across 3g and 4g spots , since we dont know how this phone will handle 3g to 4g and vice versa
Good to know, since I'm still using a dinosaur.

If they're covered up, the wireless charging stuff won't work.... What don't you get about that? There's nothing you can buy to make wireless charging work with the contacts covered up except maybe a dremmel tool...

Verizon may have screwed me. I worked out details about getting N3 this weekend, a few months ahead of upgrade date, but barely within REAL 20 month window... as of Saturday was supposed to have been pending shipment. Called today to get tracking info and rep said order was never placed. I'm *IRATE*. Have been a VZW customer since 1996, willing to shell out $300 for a phone & renew for another 2 years,
The chances of me getting the N3 on launch day are now between slim and zero. Any VZW employees on here wanna be a hero and take up my cause? It would seem I was straight-up lied to.

--UPDATE-- 10/8
After another two phone calls and a lot of .... sticking to my guns... I now have an order confirmation # and am expecting the phone either Friday or Monday. So not launch day, but okay.
ok well this sucks

Just got my note 3

Back to playing with my new toy.

So, it looks like I won a phone through the unlimityourlg promotion.
The only problem is that it's on the Sprint Network, and I'm on Verizon.
One of the stipulations of the competition is that it has to be activated on the SPrint Network.
Can I do that, then cancel the service within 30 days and keep the phone ?
Has anyone else won one of these and done similar
I want the phone but don;t know if its compatible on Vrizon. It looks unlikely
Sell it and buy one?

Hey guys,
I am thinking of buying Samsung Galaxy S8 from Microsoft store, because it's offering $150 off. I was just wondering if it'll be a better option than Original version? As, Microsoft apps will be implemented on top of it, it's most likely to be bloated. My question is, can I delete the apps like Cortana, outlook etc and download my preferred apps?
It'll be great, if anyone who is using this Microsoft edition phone, can share some experience with the phone.
Also, is there any good deals on Blackfriday on Unlocked galaxy S8 US version? All the deals I saw were on contract.
Thank you!

I think the Microsoft apps will be installed as System apps. So without root, you may not be able to uninstall them.
Windows phones failed for a reason. You buy an S8 for a reason and it's not Microsoft.
I read that this phone should support eSIM in North America but I didn't see anyone really using it on this phone, I want to get one only for this., can someone please confirm if it can be used and what version of the phone (AT&T, T-mobile ...)?
Thanks
I got mine thru Google Fi. They sent a sim with it. This was so the same time the pixels were not shipping with so SIMs, as they*do* support e-sim

Hello, what are the main features of the Google Fi version of the LG V35? Any special apps/features ....what are the stock LG apps etc?
From what I've learned, it's just that it has the GFI app, and google's stock dialer and contacts app. It has LG's gallery app, but also Google Photos. The phone is really a good phone esp at today's prices. I just despise LG's skin and crap apps shoved onto it.
