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

The ear buds that come with the package are horrendous. Definitely get better quality ones. A no EQ G.Music with Skull Candy ear buds sounds fantastic.
Where did you get your Nexus from?

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.

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.
Sent from my Nexus Prime
Sounds like someone carefully re-packaged it (after using) and it was re-sold to you as a new unit.
Return that sucka.
I found this in the S3 forums. I am certain it is a fake but if the size is close and the speed is around 4 or better it is still worth it IMO. So if you like to gamble here is your chance

If it is actually the SDXC, I have a 64Gb one in my E4GT right now and it works great.
This exact MicroSD card is going for $99 on Newegg so there's little doubt it's counterfeit. For another $10 I'd rather spring for a 32GB card that comes with a warranty and hassle free return. Also I heard with the 64GB card the media scanner takes forever to process it.

My last one cost about 65-70$ from Amazon (so you can definitely get them cheaper than Newegg,) but I do agree that these are likely counterfeit (or stolen... muhahahaha)
Media scanner: yea, but marking the media scanner to not scan it (.nomedia) is my normal fix for that issue.

I have one already, not the one from eBay but the official one, in my S2 and the media scanner doesn't take any longer than the 32 I had. But I haven't packed it full of media either.

Here is an interesting article with some very interesting insight into the world of "fake" microSD card manufacturing in China... written by an American(?) who works at a factory in China. Apparently some "fake" cards are just substandard cards that flash memory makers dump on thesecondary markets...
You can find the article via Google. Search for "On MicroSD Problems bunnie's blog" it should be the first one that comes up
The article was very long and nearly put me to sleep... but still very interesting read.
This is the reply I got from him regarding the query of the card .
Dear ********,
YES, I hope you can wait your product if you receive the product can not be used, I will refund all your money will not be returned to me, Thank you very much!

I didnt understand it completely, but I think he was trying to say that he will refund fully if I will not satisfy with the card, and I dont need to return it back.
Still finger crossed.. Dont know whether the card will arrive or not

I have only had my first gen Nexus 7 for a month and am considering selling it (to my sister) so I can purchase the new one.
(of all the bad timing, news of the new one started the day after I unboxed mine)!
Just a few questions that may help me decide.
1 - has anyone tried the new nexus with the first gen official dock (that uses the contacts)
2 - same question for a Poetic Slimline Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7
sorry not able to post links to the above components as my status in the forum is too new.
I ordered the above 2 components about the same day they started talking about the new nexus (bad timing for me)
it would likely be a deal breaker for me if I have to get rid of these before they even showed up at my door!
Thanks for any helpful info

The new Nexus 7 does not have the 4 pogo pins, so I don't think your accessories would work. Also the form factor is different, so I don't think the case will fit.

that too bad, the dock was a nice feature with version 1 of the nexus 7. Of course more of a head scratcher with me is "no micro-sd slot" even my wifes cheap ass Asus MeMo has a micro-sd slot.

Google does not put SD slots on any device. To be honest SD card slots are going the way of the Floppy Drive. Sure it's mildly annoying.. AT FIRST... but after having devices without them for well over a year now, I don't miss them at all. You adapt. Trust me.

I made sure my present nexus was the 32 gig version. I think that in the States you can do without the sd slot better because you have access to streaming services such as Spotify, unfortunately most of those services aren't available to us Canucks so we have to keep our music on our devices. I have found that 32 gigs is LOTS of storage for my tunes.
Hey guys,
Is the date already published for the release of the find 7 (premium version) ?
I mean the 7a is already available so it should not take so much more time.
Any news or website which is up to date and can inform me directly in the case of release
Thx

Ok. Thanks.
But isn't it a little bit strange that there are no information about a release ?!
I mean if you are right and it will be released at the end of this month there should be anything official or not ?
They keep it secret because they want to sell some 7a's first I guess. If you ask me I don't even know why they made a Find 7a in the first place.

I think the QHD screen still needs some tuning/calibration work from various rumors I've heard.
The 7 doesn't have enough extra CPU power/battery to drive the extra resolution without performance/battery life compromises anyway, so it's going to be for the "spec epeeners" - the 7a will be a superior day-to-day device.
The 7's screen will require almost 2x the memory bandwidth and GPU power to drive its display compared to the 7a.
@Entropy512 Thanks now I am convinced that I made the right decision to order the 7a and not wait for the 7.

while what you said is true, I'm still having some difficulties accepting that since even the weakest integrated graphics from 2010 desktop PC can manage to handle daily PC operation even with UHD displays, I don't play heavy games on my phone, so is it absolutely true that the 801 will struggle with QHD display even just for average phone usage???
battery life is another matter though, true.
It's twice the pixels but not power since each one uses significantly less. Still it's going to be more, xactly how much more power won't be known into they can be compared. The screen isn't the only thing pulling more power, the extra ram will be a user as well. I would be looking to the a for sure if I was a 3d gamer but I'm not. I'm taking a wait and see approach.
While the extra resolution may be worthless to some it is not useless. It allows you to blow up the screen more. When you whipper snappers get older you will appreciate that more than you do now.
I thought so too. Thats the reason why I have pre-ordered a find 7a today
And like it seems many guys in different popular forum are doing it like this.
I mean the 3gb of RAM would be nice, but like everyone say it is not needed. Also the 32gb internal storage, because you have a sd-slot.
A further thing is that the bigger battery also fits in the 7a (epic)
And if the 7 is published I am going to buy the backside, which hides the battery, because I like the carbon or carbon-style of it
The only thing which is worth to think twice is for me the fact that my HTC One M7 has a PPI of 461 and the 7a has a lower ppi (401) with the same resolution :/
Any opinions/ recommendation ?

Life is always trade-offs. I was used to carry an extra higher capacity battery for the Note 3. On my current HTC One (M8), it is hard to believe how much better it manages battery, even not using the stock power saving settings. (not missing that extra battery when on travel.
As to the shipping date Oppo responded to an email stating that it would likely be at least early June before product shipped. Since the screen supplier just now has started production of the screens we know those are not in hand yet implying April is certainly out. Oppo has their own forum where there is a little more information available than here for the moment, some of you might be interested in taking a gander. http://www.oppoforums.com/forums/find-7-product-discussion.111/

Yeah, I tried asking all of the sellers if they would accept any offers but they all said no. I'm willing to pay 300+ shipping which is reasonable considering that's a 20% profit for them give or take. I just can't justify that much of a markup for something without a good reason. It should he released in Spain/UK soon anyway.
I had a Nexus 9 but I wasn't a big fan. I liked my Nexus 7 2013 more than the 9 by far. I used to also have a LG GPad 8.3 and I loved it until I broke it. I'm hoping this will be a good tablet to fill the Gpads slot now that I'm tablet less (unless my Nexus 6 is a tablet )

Where do they ship from? Are they a reputable vendor? I realize other members have bought one from them but I'd rather be on the safe side
I bought a Nokia N1 about a week ago from China. Already got 4 system updates. Out of the box was 5.0.2. Latest build number is A5CN410.
The build quality is unbelievable for the price range. Not to mention the screen. Only one issue, no Google Play Services, yet.
I bought the nokia n1 on this site: smartophone.com
it works very well, but still not google apps !
Nokia N1 ,Chinese Edition.
I've got one ,but it sucks by now,'cause it ships without google service,a lot of apps works incorrectly on it .
I bought mine on Amazon...Google Play Store right out of the box. Be sure you get the Taiwan version!
Loving it so far!
