So you may have noticed that the latest OTA brought us wallet on the n7. Is this usable considering we don't necessarily have data while shopping at a store? Does wallet require data?

does a credit card require data? all it has to do is mimic the rfid signature that the wireless credit cards use.
*Edit* not meant to be as snarky as I just realised it sounds.

I've been using Wallet since the day I got it at I/O and now you don't need data to use it. The NFC chip "remembers" the last balance on your account when you had a data connection on the device.

It also says "Unsupported Device" which means it might not work at all. We won't know until a brave soul pops one out of his man purse & uses it.

I can see maybe using google wallet on n7 maybe at a coffee shop and that's about it. It just seems weird waving a tablet to pay for something, seems better with a phone maybe.
Is the free $10 google wallet credit still alive? And does it apply to the N7?

That's because you're rooted
It will still work, but Google plasters the disclaimer in the app.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
those of yall that are rooted remember to go into the settings in the google wallet app and reset it before you flash a new rom. you have to actually do this from in the app, not titanium or anyway else, from inside the app. there is a risk that you will bork your nfc( just for wallet purposes, not for android beam). i forgot to do that a few times when i flashed a new rom on my evo and everything is still fine for me. but yea seriously this is posted anywhere that google wallet was posted in the evo lte forums. im not sure of the validity of this but something yall should look into it. happy spending

I ended up buying one a couple weeks ago for free.
So today I called at my local staples , I live o in Montreal and asked them if they had any 2013 nexus 7 in store , they said yes so I went to buy one.
A sales guy told me that if I get a replacement plan, in 1 year I could come back to the store, tell that the item doesn't suits my needs anymore and they would give me a gift card of the value that I paid the tablet.
I was very on my guard and asked the guy many time if it would work, he said yes, and told me that's what he do with his camera , so he get a new one each year.
Finally I paid for the replacement plan and at the cash he gave me the tablet with the warranty info.
Back home was reading the warranty and there no mention of replacement the way he told me.
My question is, have any of v you had any luck with this replacement plan and does it work the way he told me?
If not I will go back to the store to get a refund , i will go back to the store to get a refund.

Call and ask to talk to the store manager. Get it in writing since it is not there, if they are going to do what you were told.

I did not paid 75 , I paid 35 for the basic coverage but the guy told me about that replacement thing, 75 dollars is when you take the basic coverage plus if you drop it, liquid on it and things like that your covered.

If you pre-order from Best Buy then it is instant, but through any other carrier/retailer you'll wait like 8 weeks.

6-8 weeks once its confirmed. Who knows how long it will take to confirm. I will assume it is probably 3-4 months to get the check.
Still odd why no specifics if this deal covers full price or not. The wording is vague and that is being kind.
The bb deal says trade in value may vary, so you could just get $10 for that $10 phone.
The Samsungish promotion is fishy.

I called two local Best Buys and was told you simply get whatever the value of your trade in is. I'm trading in an HTC Evo 4G, I get $22.00 off of a Note4.
EDIT: But buying through Sprint, their website says Samsung will "match" your trade in value up to $200.00.

I just purchased a used DE Note 4. The baseband version is N910VVRU2BOF1. The guy said it was used on Verizon since this August, but he said he didn't accept any OTAs from Verizon. I haven't received it yet and he hadn't shipped it, but how would I be able to tell if the bootloader is unlocked before he ships it? I'm wanting to install TWRP and put MOROM on it as soon as I get it. I hope this isn't a stupid question, I've been out of the Android tweaking scene since last year so I'm a little rusty.

You will have to start the phone holding the power, home and volume down. When the menu appears, it should say mode: developer, with blue letters, if I'm not wrong. If you don't see developer anywhere in that menu, it's retail. Ask him to provide you with a photo of that screen.

Thanks for the reply! I've never owned a developer edition device before. Still running my MDK Galaxy S4, rooted with Phil's Touch Recovery. Nothing wrong with it at all, just wanted to get the last phone available from Samsung with an unlocked bootloader, removable battery, and expandable memory. Who knows how long I'll hang onto this (assuming the bootloader is unlocked). I guess I could attempt to send it in to Samsung for a reflash?

If the phone was originally a developer edition, you can send it to Samsung for a reflash, if necessary. There should be proof that the phone is actually a developer edition (receipt from the seller), or IMEI and model number which should be SMN910VMKE. If the phone is still in warranty, they will most likely reflash it for free.

Good luck, I hope it is as described.
I had a similar experience, but the phone had a hardware defect, which was really questionable, however the seller had proof of purchase and the phone was in warranty.
Then, it took Samsung a month to fix the problem. First, they fixed the hardware issue by replacing the motherboard, screen, etc, but they flashed the retail software and it came locked. I had to call them second time and speak with someone from the repair center and explain clearly and repeatedly that the bootloader should be unlocked as it's a developer edition.
After a long month and 2 trips, it's running great, how all the Note 4 should run, no ads, tethering, etc.
