I'm pretty sure all the GSM ones come that way, I know mine did. There should be a white adapter in the box that fits over the two prongs and converts it for use in the States.
Well considering a large # of the imported phones are from Europe, it makes sense. Many importers open the boxes and replace the charges with North American style ones, but some are just "as-is".
The device is the same. Charge it off of USB or any other wall charger you have.

I mostly charge my devices using USB anyways. My only real concern is always having the latest updates from Google. It came with 4.0.1 and it just updated to 4.0.2. How can I be sure it has the right software installed and not something from overseas?

"Something from overseas" is what you want lol. There's no "American" version of the OS (this phone is not sold in the US). The "yakju" (updated by Google) builds come from Europe.
You can check with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
If it's updated by Samsung (aka yakjuxx), you can flash it to yakju in about 5 minutes.

I guess I should've done a little more research before posting this thread. Thanks for the help though. I just checked with that app and it is a yakjuxw. I'm off to find out how to flash yakju.
I ordered from another member on XDA, but it came with these adapters when they bought it, the standard European format with an adapter for the US:

Its very simple. You can kill 2 birds with one stone, and you'll get 4.0.4 and yakju at the same time. It'll unlock your bootloader and wipe the entire device. But from that point, you'll receive OTAs.

Why not update? It's nothing to be worried about...
I'm curious as to what happened to E...
I've finally gotten it.
And here's the reason why it trickles/trickled, from a Google guy on the Android team:
OTAs *always* roll out to a small group (canary), then increasingly larger groups. Because sometimes there are bugs that don't get caught that come with new changes or a process issue turns up with OTAs. It's far better to catch these when a small number of devices get the update and never come back online than slam an update out to an entire population and only then discover that there was an issue.

Well... at least I would assume so because I am in Canada and ordered a UK GNexus (Handtec). It was dropped off today and about an hour after I started using it I checked for updates and it popped up.
Mine arrived thismorning (O2 sim only phone purchased on Friday 18th), haven't yet installed due to being on a custom rom.
No update for me yet - Handtec +Vodafone UK.
I've received mine, vodafone uk, but does anyone know if it's ok to apply to a rooted handset?

I was wondering the same thing, made a post about it earlier today. I decided to just go ahead and order one. I watched a video after on it and the Note won't plug in with a case on, so it'll probably be the same for the Nexus. I'll post back when it comes in.

Dock came in today, here's an update on it.
It comes with 4.0.2 that is wrong for a sealed package from what I know, and the bootloader is open, what do you think guys? also the battery was in the device, it still had the GALAXY NEXUS screen protector, and back door protector.
I very like the device, but does the earpiece speaker suppose to have such bad quality? I mean it like a little buzz in it, not that the music speaker is any better :crying:..
I would say if the bootloader is unlocked & the battery was in, that's not a brand new unopened / unused device

Flash a New Kernel ( franco ) , will speed up a lot
But it defiantly a new device, I always remember the smell of opening a new phone, and again the box was sealed with the Samsung sticker, maybe it was repackaged only, as it comes with EU charger, here in Israel most shops sell it with US/UK charger, possible? I mean maybe they buy a stock, then buy a stock of EU chargers, and repackage them with a new sticker? also why 4.0.2?..anyway it in another town, so I will not go there just to replace it, also I got a new extended battery, so I don't care, when a new NEX out, I will sold mine as used.
They don't ship with unlocked bootloaders. Dead giveaway of non-new device. Also the battery never ships in the phone already.
Some people have reported getting refurbished units with unlocked bootladers, but I haven't heard of anyone getting one like that on a brand new device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It for sure not refurbished, all accessories are sealed, only the battery was in the device, also in the package where the battery suppose to sit, the little tab was flush, so it was never been there, anyway as I said, it in another town, I got 12 moth warranty, and anyway if something go bad, than not with software, for me it will be easier to sell it on eBay, and not pay for fix
Regardless, it's not sealed new.
Atleast it saves you some trouble you have an unlocked bootloader lol...
Swyped From My Sensation.
Not new that is for sure. You'd never get a new device with unlocked bootloader. Did you pay full price?

Accessories can easily be resealed or even taken from other boxes. Also the battery would never be in a _new_ device. I mean as long as everything works I wouldn't make a big deal out of it but I hope you didn't pay full price for it.
Well now that bootloader is unlocked u can root and so on. Also my gsm version came with 4.0.2. And so did my boys after having it for 2 hours got the update to 4.0.4. Besides who cares you will flash a new rom anyways if u are on xda most are based on 4.0.4. And it is weird how u got it with battery in phone and unlocked already. Hey if it works great don't worry bout it
you can probably buy those stickers for the outside of the box to make it look "sealed"

Yay! for pre-unlocked bootloaders
That's really interesting because you never consented to the agreement form when you unlock your boot loader... I wonder what that'll do to warranty and such (especially if you were on Verizon or something...) lol especially if something from unlocking your boot loader messes up your phone (i.e. flashing a custom rom).
where do u bought it?
What's your guys thoughts?
OK so I am eligible for an upgrade and if you guys like your phone now and you wouldn't buy any other phone if you could. I will order this Tuesday or Wednesday. Just want any last thoughts before I order?

This is not brand new. It's used/refurbished device. Return it. Bootloader is never unlocked. Accessories are easy to replace. So accept it or return it.

Sounds like someone carefully re-packaged it (after using) and it was re-sold to you as a new unit.
Return that sucka.
Title says it all.
I've purchased the device about a week ago and I noticed it just now(after searching the web about the scrolling issue, which apparently caused by using a 3rd party charger).
Did someone else encounter this? Is that normal? If not, What should I do?
No it isn't. May of been imported from China (Hong Kong) for cheap, and sold to you and many others. Just google 'eCell', the fraudulent company selling on Ebay. Anyway, as they use different plugs they either give you no charge or one like you have. Any Chinese writing anywhere?
Okay I did some more Google research apparently a lot of retailers here(Israel) put a samsung charger for some reason.

All over the box and on some of the stuff inside. I didn't think it's strange because HTC is a Chinese company after all.

If it's all over the box, i think you've been had. Call HTC customer services, give them the imei and they'll tell you where it's from. Alternatively check your cid. Is it htc__622? Get cid checker from the store.

It's a Taiwanese company, so the Chinese writing didn't come off as weird to me.
Anyway switching the HOX chargers seems like a common practice here. The only place that sells original HTC chargers is the official importer. I think I'll just buy it from them.
So in your country it's normal, 'your own question answered'. Well done!

Hong Kong has "British socket" and electronics are not much if any cheaper here. They're cheap in Shenzhen.
If you want to purchase on ebay, I recommend rose528400, as that is where I purchased my phone from. As far as I know, the phone is near flawless. Now that I checked it, the international version has become surprisingly cheap. Not trying to advertise here, thanks.

That is wrong. The touch screen bug is caused by a dirty power connection. My house power connection would work fine and the touch screen works very well but at my work (which is a very old building) I have tons of touch screen bugs because of the dirty power connection.

afaik its not the charger that filters, should be the phone (i base this on the fact my dhd doesn't have problems with both htc chargers), whereas the hox has problems with both .
after repair (and update to 2.17), the problem went away, but since i flashed viperx and faux kernel, the bloody problem came back! it hardly does it with my original charger, but really bad with the dhd charger (both original htc ones)
I just realized one thing I'll miss about my Transformer is having a physically connected keyboard that I can use while travelling by plane. From what I've read Bluetooth keyboards are a no-no for in flight usage. Has anyone used a USB connected mini-keyboard using the Samsung USB adapter? I also know Samsung will be coming out (from what I've read here) with a keyboard dock but it's not available yet. I thought I also read somewhere that the Tab 10.1 dock will work with the Note 10.1.
Has anyone had any luck or a good setup for using an in-flight keyboard setup for the Note 10.1?

Unfortunately, it's expensive and not available in most stores yet. Picked it up from the Samsung store in Sydney CBD.
Just so you know, Australia and USA both use the US keyboard layout (as opposed to the UK, which uses the UK layout), so maybe that could help you guys in the states source one of these? You won't have a messed up layout like you would ordering from the UK. Then again, I don't know any Australian place offering these for shipping internationally so that could be moot.

Very frustrating to not have these available for purchase in the US.
Is it possible to close it? Like the transformer or a regular laptop? Dont feel like not being able to close it..
An extra battery would be nice though incase of very long flights or train/car rides..
It doesn't hinge so you can't "fold" it closed like a regular laptop. Instead you just pull it out of the dock.
I know it has been discussed but I wanted to share my work. Not beautiful but it works. This is the dock for the Tab 10.1 modified for use with my Note 10.1
