Just wondering if there are devices with a manufacturing date past October 2013 as the 2 I've bought (and returned) were both of the same date.
Now I don't mean this to be a another "defects thread"--and the 2 I've returned had defects, indeed (dead pixels, touch issues)--but I do want to know if anyone has had luck with newer ones, if there are any. I really need a tablet, but I just can't go with a non-Nexus one. GPE devices don't apply as I'm in Canada.
Anyone?

I've seen 3 from July, one had the touchscreen issues and had to be returned. The new one is also July, working fine. I don't think manufacturing date matters so much as blind luck. Really terrible QA.
How to know my device manufacture date?

Hi all...Just received my one x, purchased from eBay...slightly used...Just like to know what sort of things i need to check out using stock firmware before starting to mess with rooting and custom roms etc in case there is something wrong and i need to return to htc under warranty which I'm hoping they'll honour even though i don't have a receipt and btw how long is the warranty for...read on various forums indicating it may be two years which would be very good!

Sorry, just to add are there any serious/common problems with the one x as my sgs2 was pretty fault free.

Are you sure...I've thrown things away thinking they were out of warranty!

plus you are covered by ebay and paypal anyway if the product you bought does not match the description you bought it as or anything wrong with it..ebay always favors the buyer more than the seller so you should be covered by them to if you get any issues with the phone

Is yours the international Teg3 version or the AT&T S4 version? Assuming its Teg3, the warranty varies based on the country the phone was originally sold in. Its two years for the UK and the EU. For unlocked phones, I'd imagine HTC would ask for some sort of proof of purchase. Samsung did when I needed my i9100 repaired in the UK. Some people have actually gotten HTC US to service their international phone which is something Samsung would never do.
As for things to look for I'd guess you've already checked the build quality and the display. There have been some QC issues; especially on early devices. A small percentage of phones have a Wi-Fi h/w fault so you'll want to make sure you're getting a Wi-Fi signal at least as good as you're i9100. Mine's actually better so yours should be to. Other routine things to check are the cell signal, BT, GPS, audio output via the headphone jack, etc. Also make sure it has the latest update (.11 assuming it's a UK/EU device) if you're going to run the stock ROM.
I came from a i9100 and can answer any "how do I?" questions you might have. The One X is a fantastic phone and does everything better than the i9100 ever did. There's also a massive update coming soon that moves the phone to 4.0.4 and hopefully a 3.X kernel. Initial reports are better benchmarks, battery life, and a bunch of UI fixes.
i don't think there would be or is anything wrong but just wanted to check any common problems other users may also have experienced so i can check those particular things.
I paid £240 for the phone fully boxed...is that a decent deal...it's black/grey?

It's a Teg3 international phone then. Go to the market and get "CIC check." It's for HTC phones and will tell you the CIC of your phone. That'll tell what market the phone was originally intended to be sold in. Post your CIC and someone will tell you where it's from.

I doubt it, supporting old phones is rarer than finding 1000$ on a hotdog these days
I think jb is the last official update for the gnex
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
im sure we will. gnex is not that old. if not an official update, many custom roms will appear thanks to our devoted and skilled devs.
Well not that old cos It's still a good device that provides great user experience. I agree but when we're talking about such fast developing technology and update policy two years means a lot!
As far as I remember Google hasn't officially announced devices to get KLP yet so we can just speculate. But I wouldn't be much surprised if we didn't get it.

Gnex was released october 2011 iirc, that makes about 1,5 years, by the time android 5.0 comes the Gnex will almost be around for 2 years, yes.
Non-google phones of that age have been supported. There's more reason to thingk the GNex will be included than not.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The Nexus S got Jelly Bean, I see no reason why the G Nex wouldn't get KLP
Didn't Google promise to support nexus devices over at least a set month period? Around the time ICS came out I want to say they said 18 months, or maybe more. Even if they don't, we will see ROMS worked up for them. And if you look at the old nexus devices, updates didn't happen due to hardware limitation. Unless they got some new feature that demands a hardware feature be on the phone and we don't have it, I doubt they will stop updating us.
In terms of CPU/GPU GNEX is unfortunately not even close to 2012 flagships (not to mention 2013 beasts). I am not saying that our TiOMAP won't be able to handle KLP but it can be used as an excuse. I hope not.

If your correct that means that KLP couldn't run on most mid end devices.

I am not saying anything. I've no idea about KLP's requirements. No idea what google decides either. We're all just speculating here. I was basically trying to figure out a possible excuse not to give us KLP. And CPU/GPU is GNexus' weakest side comparing to 2012 and newer handsets. That's all.
* In 2012 HTC One S with S4 Krait was also considered a mid end device.
It may or may not come out for our devices, technology advances pretty quickly, if we get it, good, if not, too bad, Google did not owe us anything.
Has anyone purchased a Note 8 from Amazon with the Build JDQ39.N5110UEFMH3, the actual build is N5110UEFMH3, I'm not sure if the prefix is important? I got this at the end of September and some features are missing, the obvious is the keyboard functions (Qwerty, floating,split). Samsung reps seem to be perplexed about this build. I'm thinking others may have this build and may not know that some features are missing. I want to know how to upgrade to the right 4.2.2 version without rooting. Apparently the latest build is N5110UEFMI1. I just want my new tablet to have the right build in case future upgrades are sensitive to the old build. Samsung is still on the case but so far no resolution other than sending it in for service, which I don't want to do if it can be resolved remotely. I can live without the keyboard functions, I'm more concerned with future upgrades and having some unknown build number.

I still don't have this resolved, hoping someone new may see this and chime in.
What model do you have?
What is your csc?
Frankly the build you have posted has a very strange build no, how certain are you that u got a genuine piece, and I would have it replaced if posible.
Your build suggests that it was done in august 2013, however The UEF part seems to be something very unlikely if we follow standard patterns. Like UE being Major Regional Part and F denoting The Major Os Build which is really strange as it's 2 generations ahead from anything that is latest available by samsung on this tab.

I have a GT-N5110 that I bought from Amazon. It was in a sealed box. The Model # on the box is GT-N5110NKYXAR.
Getting it replaced was probably the wise move but I thought sending it back to Amazon for an exchange would have just resulted in another unit from the same shelf mine came from, out of the same batch of weird builds. I have gone round and round with Samsung so long the return/exchange is no longer an option.
I'm sorry, you asked what is my csc, I don't know what that is or where to find it. I appreciate your reply, don't know where to go from here, just wait for Samsung to get back to me I guess.
I purchased mine from Amazon just last week but it was actually sold by BigOutlet it also has the strange Build # JDQ39.N511OUEFMI1 Android Version 4.2.2 this is a black/brown refurbished Note 8 don't know if that makes any difference or not. I got like 3 OTA updates when I turned it on for the 1st time.
Mine has the Samsung keyboard and all it really has is Swiftkey like Flow, no split keyboard or anything like that. I didn't know it was suppose to have those.

The build you have is the one I think I'm supposed to have, it is the one mentioned in all of the posts about the 4.2.2 upgrade. You should have the keyboard options. When you have the keyboard up long press on the key next to the spacebar and you should see the 3 keyboard options and the pen as choices. Check the tutorial under the Samsung keyboard settings. Mine shows how it should work in the tutorial but I don't get these options.
If I do that I do have the options you mentioned.
Mine had N511OUEDMD1 OUT OF BOX - 4.1.2
N511OUEEMF1 - 1st update
N511OUEEMF2 - 2nd udate
N511OUEEMI1 - 3rd update. - 4,2.2
That's the progression of the updates the last was the biggest and took awhile to download.
Hate to say this but did you do a factory reset then try checking for updstes?

Thanks for your help. Mine came like this from the factory, brand new. I did try the factory reset, unfortunately after setting it up one time and having to do it all again with no benefit. The problem is the build and the reset only reinstalled the same build, I didn't think it would help but did it anyway, just to be able to say I tried that already. Mine was obviously built with a build that was not the final product. Now I just want to figure out how to get updated to the right one so I can get future updates.
Glad you found the keyboard options.
Sorry I'm out of ideas other than root and a different ROM but that is pretty extreme.
How long have you had it? Amazon customer support is top notch with my dealings. Maybe the will send you another one. Something is definitly not right with yours. I can send you a screenshot if you need it to make your case.
Was yours brand new or a refurbished?

Mine was brand new. I didn't return it to Amazon because I figured the replacement would probably come out of the same shipment this one came from and it would have been built the same. It's now past the 30 day return period, I'll have to wait for samsung to come up with a resolution. Thanks for your help.
Is that possible this date!??? I always have seen nexus 7 2013 at late 2013 (2013.10)...
Yeah there was something on here about that. Search around. It was something about twrp not working I think.
Looks like they made a new batch. Or they "fixed" a bunch of returned ones and shiped them as new.
They are probably refurbs at this point. The N7 was formally discontinued last year.
Just as a heads up, a few of us that have bought new devices recently have been running into issues with rooting. Check out this thread for more information:

.. from the order i had placed in the pre christmas sale. talking about a black 128gb pixel. original one was manufactured 31/10 (worst blue shift ever), replacement device: 1/11. one day later. got to be the same with that one.
im writing this since i wanted to know if i can hope to get a newer device (since i experienced less blue shift there) with my order placed in the sale phase on google play store (perhaps thats the concession for getting it cheaper) and with the probably less common 128 version.
anyone out there, who got a late manufactured 128 pixel 2 xl?
I just got mine on December 23.....
My brand new replacement 128gb XL is coming from Google directly, shipped from Illinois, I checked the IMEI number and manufacture date was 11/24. It's arriving tomorrow so I'll know then how it stands.

the whole point is, what device u got. not when you got it.
Mine was manufactured on November 10th. My blue shift is quite bad though; does the manufacture date really make any difference? I can definitely live with it so I'm not going to replace it in the future. The build quality and performance are superb though.

I have the first batch device that was manufactured in October around 10 or 15 can't remember
But my device is good yes there is blue shift noticeable but other problems either i can't see them or they aren't there
