Just bought A nexus one! im pumped!

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.

Reserve Now E-mail

Just got my Email to reserve the Epic 4g. Though when I click the link to reserve it, it shows the same teaser page and a sign-up. Guess it's too soon, I'll give it a few minutes. I guess this goes with how I saw the release date being AUG 20 before it was updated.

did you try this
http://now.sprint.com/epic4g/?ECID=vanity:epic4g

I got the same thing. This link posted in another thread brings you to the reservation page.
https://sprint.timetrade.com/tc/ReservePhone.do?method=load&postalCode=

I just recieved a text from sprint and in the link they sent, the site clearly states August 20.
gospv (dot) com/usa/pmsdata.html?149075245:target=email_template/index/victory_availability.bsp_xhtml
Why do they keep teasing us?

I reserved mine and my Fiancé's Epic via the link given in the e-mails we received. We received e-mails confirming our reservations numbers and all.
Today I tried the link again just to see what it would say....
It just shows the info signup link again and the reserve option is gone. This makes me think the Epic is sold out already as far as reserve-able phones go. Crazy fast!

I still see the reserve option on the Epic 4G main page.

When I go to:
http://now.sprint.com/epic4g/?ECID=vanity:epic4g
I only see the "signup" button. There was a "Reserve" button there yesterday night.

hmmm thats wierd... maybe u should clear ur cache or something and try again? or maybe it is based on location?
i see the zipcode box and "Get Started" button.

Anyone else in the CA bay area?

Be Cautious of the market!!

Last night when I was buying an adw theme for my tablet, I noticed that instead of the 99 cents I want supposed to be charged, I was charged 99 dollars. I checked and apparently there were not one, but two 99 dollar charges made to my account. I'm currently in a dispute right now with google over this. So my advice is to ensure you check the charges made before the fifteen minutes is up to avoid the hassle I'm currently going through

Are you sure you haven't bought 100 ones

Oh I'm positive.... I'm looking at the confirmation email right now where it shows me being charged $99.00.
I'm not sure why I got double billed though.
Just wanted to make everyone aware of this, as I purchase stuff frequently and nothing like this has happened before.

Just go back to the market and take a screen shot of the page to keep on file and send a copy to google with your complaint and check the decimal point ie $099. or $0.99
just could be a mistake.

I am adamant about making sure of stuff like that I have heard about sellers scamming in ways like that on the android/ios market before

The market doesn't seem to work for me since I flashed to 2.2.1. It always says there isn't an android phone associated with the account. That's ok, I've found tons of apps outside the market and use adp to install them.

Why would I do that it was a market error....

Screenshots or you read "99.00 USD as 0.99 USD".

Lol this is why credit cards sucks. Pre-paid cards ftw
I still can't figure out why so many people use this unprotected **** -.-

you sure know how to stay on-topic.....
and my poor attempt to stay on topic is this:
There is usually some contact information given with the app you bought. Just contact them, and i'm pretty sure it's all a misunderstanding. And yes, make sure you post a screenshot of it saying 99p

I know how to read lol...
Anyhow apparently it was a system glitch when I placed the order and I'm getting refunded immediately.

Wow...this is scary...I never look that closely....I assume honesty...I guess I shouldn't from now on.

Samsung giving out +2GB on Drop Box to Note owners

EDIT: APPARENTLY, ONLY WORKS IF YOU ARE BRAZILIAN. Sorry for the rest of you guys, I didn't know that =/
I'm not aware of any topics stating this, so I'll publicize my discovery. If everybody already knows, please forgive me for being the slowpoke.
If you register your product's IMEI on the site you get a coupon for Dropbox that, when inserted, gives you another 2GB of storage.
I'm not sure if other countries have this promo, so if your don't, go into www.samsung.com.br, it's the brazilian site, or chose the country in the location selector. In the lower left corner of the screen there is a big dropbox icon that is the promotion thing. The instructions should be easy to follow even in a completely unknown language, or you could use Google Translator. Here goes a quick run-down anyway:
The first stage (Etapa 1) simply teaches you how to download dropbox from market. If you have to follow those instructions, don't forget to jump out the window afterwars. So just click "avançAr" (next).
The second stage teaches you how to create a dropbox account. I don't believe a single being in this forum doesn't have one, so... next.
The third stage is where you have to create your Samsung account if you don't have one yet. After that, you'll have to register your product via IMEI, which is in Settings - About Phone - Status.
As a last step, you'll get your coupon on the Samsung site, then you have to go to www.dropbox.com/coupon and insert the code.
Enjoy and click "Thanks" if this helped you =)

the site did not recognize my existing samsung account, when i enter my email it wanted to create a new one. this was not possible because i dont have a valid CPF (brasilian tax number)...

I though it accepted worldwide accounts. My bad =/

I really want this to work, but it's not taking my dropbox email. I'm pretty sure I have a brazillian note.

If you want more space on Dropbox, just make virtual PCs and "invite" them to your account. You don't even need a real e-mail to register now. No need to give out your personal data to a brazilian website.

I've already hit my referral limit (with actual referrals). Who says I'm giving samsung brazil my personal information?
Edit: I've somehow made it to the part where it asks my IMEI, but it's not taking it... Oh well! I am 95% sure my note it Brazilian.

You could always use a site like http://www.geradorcpf.com/ to generate a fake cpf.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

well, it worked for me, using both the CPF and IMEI generators There goes an extra 2gb
I wouldn't be bothering with Dropbox since box.com gives out 50gb, but both Titanium Backup and SafeWallet both use it, so this is my everyday cloud service.
Next step - this weekend - is to bump up the storage another 8gb (depending on just how long each loop takes) via referrals on virtual pc's, as mentioned above. This link explains how: http://tippopotamus.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-get-525gb-on-dropbox-with-free.html

Don't see any dropbox images on the site :\

Heads up
This actually does work outside of Brasil.

Request for coupon
Could anyone from Brazil PM me with a spare coupon? thanks.

Too bad that the link for the IMEI (step 7) is dead...

Its over. The site says that the number of avaliable cupoms has been reached.

Eww I missed this promo.
Thx god there're still 50Gb on my Box acc lolz.

I downloaded the APK for HTC devices and got 23 gigs of extra space. It was really easy to get.

New Bar on FireTV recommending TV Shows

Yesterday I thought my firetv auto updates as every one has been discussing on the forum as I saw a new bar on top of AFTV menu. This was the first I had seen the bar. However there was no update to the firmware and I still have my root. I've done quiet a few firetv's and none have gotten updated after setting the com amazon update to disable.
Has anyone else seen that bar. ? How does a new feature/bar appear without a firmware update?

I have it too.. well the GUI is made in HTML 5. all they would have to do is update the source page and the next time your AFTV refreshes the page, it sees there is a new one online and refreshes with that instead of the locally cached one.

Thanks for the explanation. But honestly I did get worried. I've been contemplating that probably amazon has a hidden server which it will use to update the firetv's to the latest ones as there are reports around. Hope not.

Picture?

I hate the enforcement of certain ads of amazon such as Transparent.

Have the same banner.
Paid 100 euros for this device and now they are adding ads?!

None of my 3 FTV's is showing the Banner I am still on pre-rooted FW version 51.1.4.0_514006420+updated

good one. Time for AddBlockplus to get added soon.

I have the stick which I bought at a local Best Buy the day before Thanksgiving, and it also has that banner. The stick updated when I connected it.

That would be nice. That add area reminds me of the add space taken up on the Roku which I detested from day one. I am thankful for having a rooted Fire TV with an XBMC launcher and finally moving away from Roku for good.

I thought I was going crazy thinking was that ad there before and it's bugging the hell out of me.
If the nexus player was available in the UK I would ditch the firetv in a heart beat now because of this.

Is there an xposed mod for this? Its annoying for sure but not a deal breaker. The firetv is superior than the nexus TV.
If you go to bestbuy and do a stock check, the firetv's are sold out but you will find abundant nexus's, appletv's, roku's.
