[Q] [B]Serious Dilemma, Sold Old Nexus, New coming in September, What to do ???[B]

Hello,
I am in a serious dilemma
I was anxiously waiting for the New Nexus 7 dubbed as Nexus 7 II. I was waiting for it like anything and checking it daily for months if anything new came up about the device until yesterday, it was officially announced.
However, I am very disappointed. The disappointment is not because of the device but due to the fact when it will release in the UK . I sold my nexus 7 first generation last week and my xperia so I could buy New nexus 7 and a new phone. Well, I love the new nexus but the problem is it won't release in the UK till September. I was expecting it to come to the UK the same week as it happened last year. Now without a tablet n a proper phone (using HTC incredible s in terrible condtion) I feel terrible. Hooked to technology and couldnot stay without it, I am not sure what to do.
To make matters worse, I be travelling to Malaysia/Thailand on august 9 and I won't be back by December due to some assignments.
I ask for suggestions what should I do.
I am going to get a phone for sure tomorrow so phone wouldnot be a problem.
My plan was to get a cheap phone and a Nexus 7 2 so I can manage between the two. One has to be cheap !
Hear are my choices, but if you think of anything better, please do not hesitate to reply.
1) Get a normal android phone for about GBP 100-150 max and get a cheap tablet and wait till December till I buy a new Nexus 10 or Nexus 7.
I personally like 8" Tablets. Will there be an 8 incher by then?
2) Get Nexus 7 again and wait till 2014 to buy a third generation. Would it live long enough to see Key Lime Pie ?
3) Get Nook Ebook Reader, the simple touch, get a better phone and just read books till then and use my phone for all the stuff.
4) Get a flight to USA, get two nexus 7 2, come back to the UK and then travel to Malaysia. [I wish I could afford such a lavish trip ]
You can understand how much I am willing to get a new Nexus 7 but at the same time, the disappointment of not having it till next year is killing me. I am just thinking of getting a Nook ebook reader and do everything else on my phone.
What do you suggest !!!
EDIT : I got my Nexus 7 and the sad part is , the top speakers do not work In another situation, one after another

I'm sure you can order a new Nexus 7 through a third party online.

Buy a used nexus 7 they are super cheap.

Thank you all for your answers.
I checked third party sites which are giving out nexus 7 2 in the UK. They are taking 300 quids for 16 gb model which is very expensive. I guess I will get the old one used !
Cheers

You can buy from amazon, then use mail forwarding company like shipito or comgateway.
That's what I've done, very cheap

What about buying a used one off eBay or other sites like Craigslist, etc.

hello again all of you,
for the price of nexus 7 2012, i was getting nexus 2013 in US through a friend so i skipped the old one and asked a friend to get it for me. now the problem is that her littler sister's coming who is only 12. her mom agreed to put nexus in her suitcase but the girl wont have any handcarry luggage. Now i m a bit uncertain again as i checked drop test video at youtube n few bumps wont turn new nexus 7 on. I know the aircarriers usually don't care about fragile stickers and throw things around? Thus there is a chance i might get nexus but not in working condition. So is there any way to make it shock proof?
should i go ahead n pay the 270$ price tag or wait. I have to sent the money to US so please reply quickly. thanks alot in advance

I personally wouldn't trust it in a bag with no proper packaging to secure it from bumps and bruises so to speak.

Leave it packed in the box and wrap it in bubbles, it will be just fine. And put it in between some clothes in the middle of the suitcase. Or the girl can take it out and carry it in her pocket as her personal device.
When you think of it, delivery companies don't usually handle packages very well, and stuff still comes trough okay. Also whole crates of N7s travelled by ship from china and they are still fine.
I ordered a cell phone from amazon recently, there were now bubble wraps or anything, just an original box, wrapped in amazon carton, the phones box had some bruises, but the phone itself is fine. That was only from italy to slovenia but still.

Thank you for your help. Appreciated!
The nexus has been bought and it is arriving in a week now. So this is all decided.
I asked her Mom to open it and check for any defects in case any just to be on the safe side. Moreover, the girl is 11 or 12 so giving a device in her hands is a bit risky. Bubble packing makes sense and I already had thought about putting it in between clothes. I hope someone else tags along and can put it in carry on luggage. I will specially ask for bubble packing and keep it between clothes etc though.
In past, I have carried my devices(phones in socks,boxes etc) in plane for so many times and I never had a problem yet, once i bought a toy for my brother and it was in my luggage and it was slightly damaged/broken from its side however I was manage to fix the tires back(Big monster truck about 5 kgs)
Nexus has more weight than a normal phone and also it's very prone to drops as i saw the video on android police or android authority.
That just terrifies me!

Everything is fine, it came just fine and she just brought it without even opening it.
I had a faulty speaker though which started working on its own after some heavy gaming (Heat required for flux to melt a bit I guess )

This new Nexus 7 gets better after using it for a while

I'm loving this new model, but yesterday I wasn't so sure, had a bit of scrolling lag, didn't seem particularly quick, its as if you have to let the device work for a while so it irons out its own little wrinkles, today this tablet has been super smooth, fast and responsive, last night I had a bit of buyers remorse, tonight I'm thinking this thing amazing, highly highly recommend to anyone thinking about it, and if your wondering if its enough of an upgrade from the 1st Nexus then yes... I couldn't go back at all, Google have tool a major step forward with this device, I'm really excites to see what the N10 will be like

I've had a BNIB 32gb sitting in my room since friday. My coworker messaged me before lunch, and we went to the local best buy to go take a look...I ended up buying one on impulse.
Trying to see if buyer's remorse will kick in before the return period, I'm sure it'll be much harder to give up if I actually touch it again...

wtf is a BNIB? lol

Personally I don't think its worth the upgrade over the original. But if you have the extra $300 to burn it's a nice tablet. If poetic had their revolution case out I might hang on to mine but I find myself using my old 7 more than the new cause of the case and kickstand.

Well you sell your old one and offset the cost of the new one. ~$100 is worth the upgraded hardware to me.
I'm waiting for a case to come out and find the new one kinda slippery because it is so thin and the rubber is on all sides.
My concern is while the OG N7 is still kicking today, come October it might not fair so well.
I'm a device whore and just love tinkering so I factor that into the difference in cost too.

The thing is, (not that i'm rolling in money here), is that the OG N7 still has more utility than the $100 or so I would get for it. I could dedicate it as a tablet for the kitchen, "public" livingroom tablet, etc etc.
That being said, all I do is watch videos on mine, or maybe browse the internet. All that extra speed won't do me a whole lot of good, but damn did the new N7 feel good in the store.

For me it was a no-brainer upgrade. My 16 GB launch model had long since run out of space (had a 32 GB USB stick along to carry my PS1 games. Sold it on Amazon last week for $130. The $140 difference to upgrade size, screen, speakers, speed, and storage was well worth the cost.

see anandtech mini review:
google has implemented fsTRIM in 4.3. This will manage "garbage collection" during idle cycles and keep the eMMC from becoming slow, and in perhaps may be the reason it seems faster day two.

The caches take some time to settle down. That's the first lesson I learnt when doing cache wipes. So prolly after a bit of use and time, caches have built up and you're running good.

Dropped and shattered my screen!!

Well, after only a few short months of venturing into the world of Nexus I dropped my Nexus 6 last night and shattered the glass. What really made me mad was the fact it slipped out of my hand just inches above the floor. I was sitting on the floor playing with my son and my Nexus slipped and fell a only a few short inches and landed on its back. The screen never touched the floor. I picked it up and the glass was everywhere. Im glad i have the Verizon Total Mobile Protection for $11.00 per month. I filed a claim with Asurion at 8:30pm last night and i have already received the confirmation email and the UPS tracking number. I never knew thwy would provide Next Business Day shipping but they do. My new Nexus 6 will be here tomorrow. Total cost to use my insurance to replace my device was $49.00. Ill take that price any day. It really hurts not being able to use my Nexus but for now I put my sim card back into my Galaxy S5 running MOAR 7.0 with ktoonsez kernel. This S5 feels so slow even with the CPU overclocked at 3072mHz and its 2gbs of ram. I have the kernel setup for performance and it cant even keep up with my Nexus 6.

I'm sorry that happened. At least you had insurance, I'm too afraid to take my nexus 6 out the house

I've had insurance on every device I've ever owned. This is the first device I've ever had to use the insurance and it just had to be my Nexus 6. New device has already been picked up from Asurion and en route for delivery tomorrow.

I thought Verizon charges $150 per incident for accidental damages? And you get two per year? Has something changed?

I didn't know about being allowed 2 incidents per year. I thought it was going to cost me the standard $149.00 when i started the claim with Asurion but when the subtotal was displayed near the end of the process it showed $49.00 and that is all my credit car was charged. Ill keep an eye on it for the next couple of days and see if I get charged for the extra $100. Thanks for the info.

Yep, only two from what I read and understand. Under the "What's Covered" tab:

But that $50 is very interesting. Please let us know if something changes.

Nothing here. Post can be deleted.

I've been watching my email and my credit card charges. I'm interested to see if I get charged the other $100. Just check my tracking number and my new Nexus is on the UPS truck as of 5:05am In Mesquite, Texas. What stinks is that UPS doesn't deliver to Waxahachie, TX where I live until the last runs of the day between 5:00-6:00pm. I'll be anxiously waiting all damn day.

"I'm too afraid to take my nexus 6 out the house"
In 2000 I finally persuaded my wife that we needed mobiles. The clincher was when I said to her something that I'd heard: "Grandma, is it right that you used to have to call a building and hope the person you wanted to talk to was inside?"
So your comment made me smile - sort of defeats the point of going mobile, no...?

My new Nexus 6 just showed up on my front porch. Time to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and flash N6XShamu with the B14CKB1RD kernel and make it like nothing ever happened. I'm sorry Nexus, I will never drop you again.

Is it refurbished?

No, this one is new. Not a refurb. When I unboxed the new Nexus, it came with a new sim card, usb cable and a new wall charger w/ quick charge 2.1a that has the letters "dd" on the side of it. Dont know what brand this charger is but I know its not a Motorola like what originally shipped with my Nexus 6. Oh well, I still get to keep my Motorola Turbo Charger and everything that my Nexus came with.

That happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I've dropped it 100 times, no problem, but this, it landed perfectly flat on the street.
The good news is I still had my 64Gb N6 from when I was with US Cellular (Which when I switched to Verizon, they said I couldn't bring over with me, oddly and forced me to buy a 32Gb Nc), but one call to Customer Service, swapping the Sim Card and my old phone was activated on Verizon (and I hate the sales guy that lied to me to get a sale).

Glad you had a backup Nexus that you could use. Verizon customer service can be so full of sh*t sometimes. I think they pull answers out of their asses just so they don't have to work and look for it.

Haha good point. I have multiple android phones but the nexus 6 is my favorite hence the reason I'm sort of scared to take it out my house. I'm gonna try to find a case for it

I used iPhone's from the day they released thru every device to the iPhone 5s. My first Android was an HTC Inspire 4G running 2.3 Gingerbread and from that point I was hooked. Then I moved to Samsung. Now that I have a Nexus 6 as my first Nexus experience I cannot see myself going back to anything else. It pained me to use my new Galaxy S5 for two days while waiting on my replacement Nexus to be delivered. I am being super paranoid with my new Nexus 6 now. I was pretty reckless with the first one but not now.

Look into getting tempered glass protector. My wife drops her phone (nexus 5x) all the time and other than replacing the broken tempered glass, all is good. Just a thought...

Who's gonna keep using their Note 7?

There's absolutely no other phone I want, so I'm seriously considering not turning my phone in and continuing to use it. Plus I'm not at all happy with the compensation of a $25 credit. What I would deem fair is allowing me to "use" an S7e or ANY phone I want until a suitable replacement phone (S8, Note 8, etc.) becomes available and then turning in the loaner for the better phone. Anyway... anyone else going to chance it and just keep on using their Note 7?
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

I really like the phone. But, it's not worth risking my life and property for.

Just got my replacement in the mail last Thursday. It's been working just fine. Doesn't get hot or anything with heavy use. I'm going to continue using my revised note 7 till they try to force me to deactivate it

Ive had a rough time getting a replacement, so ive been looking into the pixel xl or just snag a nexus 6p for cheap. Its not worth risking to me.
Sent from my SM-N930P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm going to keep mine because I have not had any issues and do not want to get a new phone. This mostly due to how terrible the corporate sprint store near me is. I had to go into the store 3 times to get a replacement.

The only problem (aside from the whole catching fire thing) is I doubt they'll be working on any software updates for the Note 7 now. No Nougut for the Note 7?
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

I really wish there were better options out right now I would switch in a heart beat. Unfortunately there's nothing even close out right now or coming out in the next few weeks. If they force us to move on I'll probably go with the v20 or 7 edge.

I upgraded from a Note 3 to a Note 7. I need a Note with Micro SD card slot. I went on Ebay today and bought the best Note 4 I saw as a backup plan. I still have the original recalled Note 7 and plan to keep it for now. But like kstephens98 said, it won't get updates. And who's gonna wanna continue development here? I think I'll probably use the Note 4 until (hopefully) the Note 8 comes out. I just hope I can still get a full refund if it comes down to that. There's no other new phone out there that I would be interested in.

there is no competition.
i'll hold it until they have another fixed batch or until the Note 8.

As much as this comment exactly describes how i feel i have to return the phone. This is the hsrdest decision. Even harder than returning the first one cause last tine i knew it would be conning back. But it is now giing to be gone forever.
The main reasons are these
1) the phone cost $900. If i keep it i cannot get a new one probably ever.
2) development Will be non existent.
3) no resale value at all in the rare chance i could afford another one.
4) my husband will refuse to let me keep it even if i wanted to ignore 1-3
I was hoping for a new batch but from what I've read Samsung has officially dropped the note 7 all together.
Out the money for my case and have a gear vr which i cannot use. THIS SUCKS

Just an FYI just got this tidbit from Sprint Chat:
"Daniel M:*You can check the availability of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with our Telesales team as the device is not available online and we are trying to get it back soon but any date is not confirmed."
was also confirmed by Telesales
If they get the note 5 back, I'd take that. I honestly don't think PHYSICALLY the note 7 is that different. On top of that, the Note 5 is honestly the best alternative. As sad as it is to say that a year old phone is the best alternative...it really, honestly is. I can deal without the USB-C, I can even deal with the lack of SD Card support(I haven't used an SD card in ages as long as there's a 64gb version). The water resistance would be nice...but after owning the S5, it was more.....convenient than anything. The "IF it drops in the water I don't have anything the worry about" feeling. I took underwater pics once just to say I did and could but....not like I'm gonna go swimming with that bad boy in my pocket lol.
Lastly, and most importantly for me, is the S-Pen. Unlike a good number of people, I actually use my....a lot. Which I find either people use it A LOT, or never lol. Anyway, if/when the Note 5 becomes available again, then I'll go back to that. But this Note 7 really was the PERFECT phone.
Water Resistance
S-Pen
AMAZIN screen to body ratio
iris scanner is way more functional than I anticipated
just the right about of edge on the screen
THE SCREEN PERIOD lol
the camera was near flawless in my opinion
everything about this phone......
If only Samsung wouldn't have rushed things. I think this phone would have beat out the iPhone anyway. Thing is, people who buy iPhones, buy iPhones. Getting them to switch is difficult because they're usually invested in apple products. iPads, Macbooks, lightning adapters, etc. People who buy Android phones are usually invested in it. Samsung people usually have Samsung Tablets, enjoy the gmail/google apps integration, enjoy the mass amount of free apps from the app store lol. This makes me want to cry lol

Went ahead and exchanged mine for an S7 Edge. It's a very nice phone too. Plus I didn't use the S-Pen like I thought I would.
In addition, Got two free gifts for my first note and my replacement note and now I've been approved for my S7 Edge. Three gifts, one purchase.
Anyone thinking of trading it in and doing the gift thing, sorry, it ended Oct 9th I believe.

ugh. I am going to call the corp guys tomorrow when I have time to ask what they are going to let me get away with. I am leaning like some others to the LG V20, but since it doesn't come out until the 28th it's outside a 15 day window. Would go without phone/phone payments and a Note 4 I pick up used for now if it meant using my upgrade later.
already sent my old phone back to them, as required to not get charged. So can't go back to that. After thinking about it, the S7 or S7E is a horrible choice since they will be replaced soon and then I'll be pissed I just got an old model.

I am going to keep using mine. There is NOTHING else that is even close to the Note 7. All of us who own the phone knows it is the sweetest one out there. I had considered the LG V20, but I would feel as though I had an inferior phone; judging by the reviews.
The reason I am here today is to root the phone to prevent Samsung from sending some type of kill update.

R.I.P. Notely... You'll be missed...

It is my sad responsibility to to announce the passing of the very first repaired Samsung NotePro 12.2 AT&T SM-907a to operate free and clear from the long plagued BSOD issue...
...and the corresponding ignorance, lies, lazyness, and hubris of Samsung.
You were always there for me. You were my phone when I had no phone. You were my TV when I had no TV. You were my PC when I had no PC. You were my tablet. The tablet that has literally no replacement.
R.I.P. Notely, my friend....

Oh yeah... One more thing.
If you have a black car, get a different color phone and/or tablet.
My bad...
...at least I found you 3 days later on the side of the highway, only feet away from your last digital scream, telling me where you were, when you...

Had the same issue with my first Note10.1 (2014) I bought another which my wife inherited when I bought my first Note Pro. That one died when a well meaning friend stuck my coffee cup in my bag without making sure that the lid was closed well (Perhaps maybe he thought my tablet was thirsty. It drowned instead (I wept a lot)), and I bought another. I'm still using it years later. This is still the irreplaceable friend though I wish that Samsung would replace it with an even more powerful baby with monster muscles.

I'm Currently in the market for a NotePro 12.2. WIFI only or AT&T version. Anyone know of one?

I found one on Gumtree a bit like Craigslist here in Australia for 300 AUD locally. Would you say it's still worth it in 2019 how does it hold up. Or would a mi pad 4 be a better option. I really love the idea of a 12 inch tablet like the iPad pro running stock android.

Like you I love my 12.2pro a1vwifi I have 3 of these tablets. Got the first dropped it with broken screen. Purchased another and dropped it like the first and was dead after. Got the 3rd and that flew of the car roof and that was destroyed on impact. So am back the the 1st tablet with all the screen broken but working . I bought a replacement screen from China and now 6mths after I haven't had the time to build a device from all 3 cos of twisted chassis .. I love the 12.2pro.. Haven't found another replacement and now am seriously thinking of a detachable chromebook.. Why isn't Samsung releasing another 12plus inch screen
