I just recently preordered the galaxy tab for Sprint... apparently its being introduced to the premier users 3 days earlier. does this mean that i will receive it 3 days earlier and it will ship immeditely? or is it just a preorder and i get it the same time everyone else does.
the website doesnt really say and i cant get an answer out of the sprint reps
did you ever get a response for this? I'd like to know as well.
they sent it overnight, its in my hands right now.
mind me asking around when you placed your order + when you got a tracking number?
sorry if the questions sound a bit intrusive, just excited.
yesterday at noon. got my tracking number around 4-5 o'clock PM i think.
I ordered mine @ the non-contracted price of $600 and it arrived this afternoon. Using my Evo to connect to the internet.
When did you order it though?

My ordered was placed around 3pm central time.
Gahh, you lucky bastards... I just got my tracking number, meaning I'll get it on Monday...
Ah well. How are you guys liking yours?
Also, find any accessories yet? I've been scouring the interwebs and have yet to find anything great...
Anyways, enjoy your Tabs!
Great device but not @ $600, im trying to get sprint to credit me $200 if I renew an out of contract line...then its a keeper. If not its going back as ill try my luck with the black friday bestbuy deal for $549. I love having it tether to my evo when im out of the house. Sending this from the device right now. I heard the sprint stores will have accessories on sunday. I feel your pain when having to wait til monday for ups.
flash playback is terrible -- i hope they fix it.
other than that it's solid -- it's pretty much the exact same thing as a galaxy s phone. 720P videos look amazing, and battery life is decent. I hope that once we start getting some developer support -- custom kernels and ROMs should make this thing fly.

I would install Dolphin Browser if I were you. It's faster and a lot better at handling flash.
One last question!
How much internal memory do we have access to right now?
Do we have the T-Mobile amount or the Verizon amount?

CDMA Tab's have 16GB of storage from the external MicroSD card slot
GSM Tab's have 16GB of internal storage and an empty MicroSD card slot.
i dont know how much internal memory the CDMA's Tab's have though. sorry.
looks like 2GB... but froyo has apps2sd, so its not a biggie
I got the pre-order e-mail and I picked upgrade my line. So if I do that can I activate this on one of my lines on the sprint everything data plan?
I get mine on Monday from UPS
Before you start... yes.. i know it's a personal decision.. which is why i'm asking YOU. What's would YOU do in my shoes?... let's begin
I bought a 16gb a week ago. I have a ton of accessories coming in tomorrow for it. BGR dropped a screenshot of a 32GB model (along with a Galaxy Nexus II).
http://www.bgr.com/2012/10/03/google-nexus-7-32gb-galaxy-nexus-ii-rumor/
My only complaint about this tablet is the 16GB of storage... so here are the options.
A) Take it back and wait - I still have my xoom wifi with 32gb... which is why i'm spoiled on that storage amount
B) keep it and either sell it or give it away once the new one comes out and buy it outright - My mother or my sister would likely be getting this one while the other got my xoom. I hesitate on this one becuase I'm probably not going to get anything close to what I paid for it.
What would XDA do? chime in.
C) I wouldn't have bought it in the first place if 16GB wasn't enough for me.

If you really think you need the extra memory send it back.
With USB working on the nexus now storage is really no problem any more.With stick drives to hold video the 16gig n7 holds lots of apps.jmo
Wait for the next best one.

Wait for something better than that.

Storage isn't a problem for my device.
If you already have a tablet I'd say return the Nexus and wait for the 32 GB to drop, the thing is we have no idea when it could be. It may be next week, it may be black Friday or it may be Christmas.
I have the 8 GB that I bought a little over a month ago and when I'm sure the 32 GB is readily available (like I can go into staples and buy it) I'm going to sell my 8 GB for it and be happy with it for a while until e next big thing comes out next year.
Let me go ahead and quote some Sheryl Crow lyrics here.

No, return it and pick up the 32gb one. You've only had it a week and you just found out there is one with larger internal storage coming next week. Office Depot already has it listed on its website, though it's not available for purchase just yet. Staples has it in its warehouse right now waiting for the streetdate. This isn't a case of "Well, the Nexus 10 is coming soon, and there's a new Asus coming next spring", this is a case where you know it's coming in a week or two. Yes, otg storage fixes the issue nicely and cloud storage works great, but if you can do it and not have to go through any amount of serious trouble to do so, why not? It doubles the space you have internally right now in addition to the cloud and otg storage. There literally is no downside to returning it and picking up the newer model aside from having to run setup again. At the very least pay close attention on Monday when Google has their announcement, find out how long a wait it will be to get it. I'm fairly confident it'll be available within a week or two of the announcement.
Return it. 16 is too small. USB OTG is OK but still a pain in the butt.

Again, we're not talking about a theoretical tablet that may be coming someday soon, we're talking about an upgraded Nexus 7 that some lucky people have already been able to buy. I really don't understand some of the posts in this thread talking this guy out of swapping it out, it almost sounds like sour grapes here. "I'm stuck with a 16gb tablet, why should this guy luck out?" You're telling me that, given the chance, you wouldn't wait a couple of days and drive down to wherever you bought your tablet from and exchange it for one with twice the storage at zero cost to you? This may possibly get pushed back just a bit because of the Google announcement being cancelled, but you know it's coming within the next week or so, so go ahead and make the exchange.
Return it and get 32GB, even if you dont use all the storage at least you have it. I pre-ordered my 16GB from play, im now miffed theres a 32GB one as im always short on space. I use OTG but its messy compared to on-board storage, cloud space is all well and good when you have WiFi but frustrating when out and about. Gonna buy a 32GB when they come out then give 16GB to Mrs
More memory = greater power drain? Might be negligible though.
Also, storing tons of apps/media on the device may slow it down.
FWIW, I have had a 32GB SDcard in my Android Smartphone for about a year now, and 20GB is still free.
If both were the same price, I'd get the 32GB version.

UPDATE:
So after calling a local Staples they confirmed they had a 32gb nexus 7 in stock, but no amount of sweet talk would convince the sales lady to let me buy one. She is going to hold one for me until tomorrow morning though. Luckily I found the 32gb Nexus 7 listed at office depots website last night.. mysteriously that listing has disappeared today ... hmmmmm. I will swear to you on my life.. that the listing did in fact exist on the office depot website. Anyway.. it prompted me to list my N7 on which I just returned from selling.
So.. the current state of affairs is the 16gb Nexus is sold (got $220 for it), and staples is currently holding one for me to pick up tomorrow barring any disastrous acts of God or nature.

Well I'll start off with saying how psyched I am about getting this phone regardless of what's coming out so far this year.
Believe it or not I've been using a badly cracked screen Xperia Play for 8 months and just haven't bothered with the mobile world since then.
I'm currently living in the UK and I have a few questions in regards to the Nexus 4 and general concerns.
How easy is it exactly to crack the screens front/back?
What case would you recommend for some one who is accident prone (nothing to bulky)?
How long did it take for UK customers to receive theirs after purchase? I'm getting the 16gb model and I went to checkout to check and they're telling me 1-2 business days?
Where can I get good wallpapers for it? I normally use Zedge but I had a nosey at their Nexus 4 walls and there isn't that many, I can just make my own or rescale other HD images but meh, I like looking for things I don't have.
In the UK do they need the micro sims? I ordered one anyway just incase.
Are there any apps that really stand out on the Nexus 4 for you?
Is it possible to root without boot loader unlocking it? Does it not come boot loader unlocked if ordered from the Google Play store?
Also is there any other cheaper method to have it display on A TV other than the slimport output http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-adapter-Connect-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG#lbhuc_854718
Are there any good speaker docks for nexus 4?

Hi. Mine came after 2 days (I ordered it at 11pm Saturday and it came in early Tuesday morning). I'm currently living in UK too. I had to order micro sim from O2.
Cheers that's good to hear lmao I hate waiting, too impatient.
I should have gotten my phone in 2 days as well but some f*** ups from TNT extended it to 4 days. It appears that i was unlucky though as nobody else reported issues with the courier service. It might only be my local depot. Anyways, get a TPU case from ebay. It should provide it with enough protection for lightish drops. I got a really nice, clear one with an s pattern on the back from ebay for 2 quid. I'm also still using the original film on the front and back. They're doing their job alright
Regarding the micro sim... Just take your sim card to any phone corner shop and they will cut it to the right size for you. They offered to do it for free in my case. Left them 50 pence tip
I just cut my sim manually with a pair of scissors

My Nexus 4 arrives tomorrow !!! I'm also coming from a broken Xperia Play, my screen just came unresponsive and then it stopped working. I'm not from the UK but lately google has been shipping this devices in the expected time if not sooner.
As for the case, I ordered the official bumper (looks awesome, in pictures at least...) and the Spigen SGP Ultra Dual from Amazon. I'll coma back tomorrow to post my initial impressions on the bumper an the screen protector, I hope it doesn't add too much bulk

that's a little tricky. I cut my counsin's sim successfully, but when I cut my sim, it didn't work...
Titanium Backup is good for... backup, if you are looking an useful apps for Nexus 4. I also use System Tuner to turn off some background-running and start-up apps, as well as watch the CPU's temperature. Another apps I use is BetterBatteryStats. You also need an apps like Solid Explorer (trial for 7 days), however there are many apps with the same function, and free. Topic for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163
The Ballistic is bulky based on people's reviews, but they say it provides quite good protection.
I have this case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163, two layers, you can see the images and decide for yourself. If you want to see the back of your nexus, you can use the official bumper although some folks really dont like it because it provides nothing to protect the back. There is a case with a transparent back, the Ringkee or something, go to Accessories, that thread is quite hot there.
For the back and front screen. Becareful. dont drop it and it will stay in good condition. I recommend a screen protector to avoid scratches.
I dont know how it is easy to crack the phone. I take my phone everywhere in my jeans' pocket (not skinny ) and it 's still good now without a scratch.
Cheers Yea I ordered a micro-sim anyway I feel like changing my number as there is a few contacts I wish no longer had my number, not that they bother with me nor I with them, but just to make sure they don't
As for the second link, it's the same post (must have apps lol) what case? :S

For the Slimport adapter, you can at least save a few quid if you use the coupon code ANDROID3 at checkout on Amazon.co.uk. Saves you £3.
Ordered it this morning, shipped by 5pm GMT, could it come tonight?
I ordered mine at 2118 on a Monday night and I had it Tuesday morning... Can't complain
I don't have ant screen protectors or a case for mine - just need to be careful, just think a case ruins the look of the phone and I'm not willing to compromise

Anyone think they might screw up as bad as they did with the note 4 preorder/launch? I bought mine online earlier this week. Think it will be there tomorrow? When and where do I get my $100 gift card?
They gave me a paper gift card right at the mobile counter when i picked up my phone. They had trouble finding my order, but eventually found it. They weren't really sure what provider's phone got release on what day, but overall it wasn't too bad. Used the gift card to buy some accessories while i was there.

Is it June 5th already where you are or did they let you have it early?
Hah nevermind i forgot different carriers are doing different days duh
I don't have much faith right now. I sure hope that changes in the morning and I get a confirmation email that my order is ready.
I pre-ordered 2 phones, 1 on May 29, another on May 31.
I called today about 4 pm and the guy told me that pre-ordering doesn't guarantee that I get the phone on a specific day, just that it's on order. I just said that would he very disappointing and hung up.
I called again about 8pm and was told they have received phones and are still going thru them and that if mine came in I would get the email once it's scanned. I guess that's better than the earlier info.
Of course, the day I ordered the first phone, neither rep working knew when the phone was released and neither one about the gift card. I had to tell them about both so clearly not many people, if any, had ordered a phone in store prior to me.
I ordered mine early this week online and it said I'd be getting it by tomorrow, white version that is. We shall see if it holds to be true or if I have to wait another day.

I went in today to check out a floor model and said they were for sale today. I ended up buying one. They also put the gift card on an actual card instead of the paper one.

Ordered on the 28th and they still haven't ship my white Verizon G4, hoping they ship it by tomorrow for it to arrive next week.
I pre-ordered my Verizon Metallic Gray G4 on May 22nd and it is supposed to get here tomorrow (June 5th) but I have not received any kind of email confirmation. So while I'm optimistic, I don't have much hope with their shipping atm.
When I check order status online, i see: Order Status:: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled.

Did you get an email about shipping or anything?
Ordered the Titanium Black (is it leather?) Verizon model last week, it shipped today and should arrive tomorrow.
Which is awesome, since I selected the free shipping option.
I asked about the titanium black since they kept changing the verbage back and forth between "Metallic Gray" and "Titanium Black". I thought maybe it could be the leather as well. But unfortunately I found out that both of those have the same SKU Number. So both actually Metallic Gray, but Best Buy doesn't know how to post the right info.
If you also look at the pictures, there are pictures of the metallic gray. Although there are some group pictures with the blue and black leather together, but mostly the metallic gray. Sorry to burst your bubble

Yep, got the email yesterday afternoon saying its ready to be picked up by UPS and now its in my city awaiting delivery.
When I picked shipping options it said home delivery on something like June 10th or in store pickup on release day. I'll find out in a few hours when they open. If I dont get it today I'll have to promise myself no matter how much free stuff they offer never to pre order from them again.
Got mine yesterday
Preordered on 5/28, picked up my VZW G4 yesterday. The usual cluelessness you expect from Best Buy, but no real hassles.
No, sorry to say that the Titanium black/gray/whatever is not leather. May be picking up a new backing at some point, but for now this is good. Very disappointed that there's only the one Verizon tramp stamp on the back and nothing on the front. How will I remember what carrier I have without reminders stamped all over my phone?
Got a paper "gift card" too, which I thought I might need to wait for.
I got an emailed saying they were delayed. And then like 90 minutes later an email saying pickup was ready. But no matter, I cancelled to do the leather version direct with Verizon which ended up cheaper.

I tried the Verizon store route, but they didn't have any of the leather ones on hand. I paid full retail price to keep my unlimited data plan.
Called Best Buy support yesterday to see where my phone was, and the rep was saying it was "on hold for release." I tried going into the store at noon to see if it was in, and the two people I talked to didn't have a clue. A half hour after leaving the store, I got the email saying my phone was ready for pick up.
Go all the way back to Best Buy, and the person I talked to this time, said the phone wasn't being released until today, the 5th. I asked him why I received the email, and why on the website it showed I could Pick Up today. His response, "that is just a glitch in the system, and he is not authorized to release the phone until he gets the okay from LG."
After suppressing a meltdown, I, as calmly as I could, asked him to show me where it is saying June 5th. He pulls it up (Sprint and AT&T variants), "see right there." I told him to scroll down to the Verizon ones, and I pointed out that it wasn't displaying the same thing. So, after he makes some calls, and walks around the store for 20 minutes, he magically finds the phone.
Then, another 30 minutes of getting the $100 gift card issue worked out, since I wasn't activating the phone at the store. Thankfully, the 5th person of the day handling it was able to make it happen. I had to "return" the phone, and re-purchase in order to get it.
After wasting about 4 hours of my life trying to get this phone (my credit card company initally rejected the online purchase), would have been better off paying the extra $36 at Verizon (full retail is at $549, versus Best Buy's $609). I actually tried pre-ordering the black leather one through Verizon, but I was unable to, even after calling Verizon directly (system error whenever they tried completing the purchase).

I figured I would start a thread where we can discuss our pre-orders and let everyone else know when we start receiving shipping notifications.

Thanks for asking... I've decided on the Fit2. Had an early Gear watch, but didn't think much of it, so I ended up giving it to one of my nephews. Hopefully the newer wearables have more functionality (specifically for golf, like a Garmin). Way I see it, the sd cards are fairly common, and I have a 128GB card with room to spare still. And I went with the Silver Titanium... kind of a timeless look IMHO. Although the blue and black both looked pretty nice. Especially the blue, which is a nice sharp look for it. And the black is another classic look which never gets old.
Have you decided on which freebie you want yet?

Same here, coming from the Note 2. Absolutely LOVE that device. Had a chance to try out a Note 4 a couple of years ago when I thought my Note 2 went bad (actually had a battery issue) and wasn't very impressed. This is the one major downside I see for the Note 7 - embedded battery (knock on wood).
Either way, I am totally stoked for this device and can NOT wait for it to arrive... (and the subsequent dev for it too).

Hopefully the bootloader isn't locked, but it sounds like it probably is. I'm sure we will get root, the only question is when.
Cheap case/screen protector along with SD card I ordered are arriving today, so I'm all set. I'll get a good case and hopefully a tempered glass protector once the device has been out a while and we know what's good.
I'm going with the Fit 2 for the freebie, wife wants it. SD cards are getting cheaper by the day, so I just buy them.
Anyone know if choosing standard shipping instead of express will make a difference for pre-orders? I didn't see that express was free so I picked standard. My order page says pre-orders will ship by the 17th so I'm not sure

My pre orders with sprint have always been the same. They ship it 2 days before the release date if they have full stock. Nobody is getting it from sprint.com before the 19th. They even put on the label to deliver on the 19th hence this is why they ship 2 day mail.
Sprint has always been the same with these having at your door but the day of release not a day before no matter when you ordered.
I got a cheap case as well should do the trick and will get the 256G card
Hoping it comes early my birthday is Friday and that would make a great bday gift. I'm probably going with the card, because I'm waiting for the gear s3 announcement. Maybe sprint will offer this one on the lease plan. Already have the supcase unicorn beetle pro and spigen neo hybrid crystal sitting in my drawer. I'll get the defender once it comes out, hopefully soon.

I never rooted my note 5 (first Android phone I never rooted) I was really hoping samsung pay would support my bank and still nothing. I just didn't want to lose that feature if and when I was able to actually use it. I'll probably never root my n7 unless I keep it for more than a year and my bank still isn't supported.

Ordered mine on the 3rd through Sprint customer service. Got free shipping and no activation fee being I've been with them for 12+ years. I have a Huawei watch but think I am still going to get the Gear 2. Also picking up a Ringke Slim case. It protects all the edges but feels like the phone doesn't have a case. Pumped too as I have had every Note since the Note 2. Note 4 probably is my favorite so far.

Thanks for asking... I've decided on the Fit2. Had an early Gear watch, but didn't think much of it, so I ended up giving it to one of my nephews. Hopefully the newer wearables have more functionality (specifically for golf, like a Garmin). Way I see it, the sd cards are fairly common, and I have a 128GB card with room to spare still. And I went with the Silver Titanium... kind of a timeless look IMHO. Although the blue and black both looked pretty nice. Especially the blue, which is a nice sharp look for it. And the black is another classic look which never gets old.
Have you decided on which freebie you want yet?
Same here, coming from the Note 2. Absolutely LOVE that device. Had a chance to try out a Note 4 a couple of years ago when I thought my Note 2 went bad (actually had a battery issue) and wasn't very impressed. This is the one major downside I see for the Note 7 - embedded battery (knock on wood).
Either way, I am totally stoked for this device and can NOT wait for it to arrive... (and the subsequent dev for it too).

I'm thinking the gear fit also. My wife is going with the card I think.
Hope everyone is aware it can take up to 3months to receive sd card or fit2 would have been alot better if you could have picked at the time of pre-order and had it shipped with phone

I ordered mine on 8/5 from www.bestbuy.com......didn't have to pay a fee for the mail-in rebate.......will receive it on 8/19. Also ordered my Spigen Neo-Hybrid case from Amazon and it shipped today. Excited to get my NEW NOTE 7......
I know it can take take up to 3 months, but when I got my note 5 I got the wireless charger promo and it didn't take that long. Hopefully it will be the same, because I also received 2 wireless chargers. I wouldn't mind getting a bonus 256gig card to sell and keep one for myself. Or sell both and buy a gear s3.

So excited!!
I ordred my on 8/3 in the Sprint store. I think I am opting for the SD card because I have a gear s2 now and it works great..
Once we know what's good
What are the odds that two note 3's would die, in a month from one another? I really liked that phone, and after losing my Note2 in a rogue wave, I got a pair of Note 3's off ebay, in Mint cond. I didn't wanna buy used again, so I got a Note 7 on the payment plan... I too bought a cheap all in one case (360 degree protection, for under $9?)... then I won't feel so bad, when I get the phone, and I'm disappointed when this (almost $1,000 device, after sales tax!) doesn't multi task (IE: won't surf, while on a call, like Spark, and successor to Spark... "enhanced LTE" It's not in my area, when last I checked, so I'll be looking to buy a new, in the box Note 3; the most advance non-Spark device.

Same here. Checking for a tracking number a couple of times a day... lol
Hopefully the bootloader isn't locked, but it sounds like it probably is. I'm sure we will get root, the only question is when.
Cheap case/screen protector along with SD card I ordered are arriving today, so I'm all set. I'll get a good case and hopefully a tempered glass protector once the device has been out a while and we know what's good.
I'm going with the Fit 2 for the freebie, wife wants it. SD cards are getting cheaper by the day, so I just buy them.

I wish Sam's club in PR was doing that! Unfortunately, the ****bags that operate Sam's PR couldn't suck more, if they tried!

I pre-ordered mine on the 7th through sprint's website. I got the black version and I'm planning on getting the smart watch. If the Micro SD card offered anything significantly different I would have done that (as it is valued more) but its only slightly faster and I don't need that much storage. Already been looking at accessories like chargers and cases! Getting excited! Its a big move from my Note 2

how excited will you be if you can't use web, or text, while on a call? If that happens, I'm returning mine, and buying a new note 3 or even new Note 2! (Won't buy used... maybe refurb, by factory)

Hoping it comes early my birthday is Friday and that would make a great bday gift. I'm probably going with the card, because I'm waiting for the gear s3 announcement. Maybe sprint will offer this one on the lease plan. Already have the supcase unicorn beetle pro and spigen neo hybrid crystal sitting in my drawer. I'll get the defender once it comes out, hopefully soon.
Signed up for AMZ review trader and have an iq shield tpu screen cover coming for free. Signed up for a few other cases too, just waiting to get approved.
