[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
PS: in the event that any of you have pre-ordered before the date was changed - aparently this only means that the 1st batch "could" be sold out and you are now listed for the 2nd batch.

Thats is - what the users in germany that have placed a pre-order are now stating. their delivery date in their order is still Nov 17th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
This could be, but we will never really know for about a week. Amazon usually notifies of release delays much later if you have something preordered, it never does it right away. Part of it is due to marketing research.

I have e-mailed them about the release date change and will let you know what they said once I get a reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I checked TheOrder again today, and it has changed to 1st December now.

They were obviously BS'ing in the email, for whatever reasons...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
I canceled my order... well i requested it to be canceled.

i hope handtec does cancel it.and doesnt go being a D*ck.

they requested a VAT certificate. something we dont have.

and we arent planning to take 2 weeks of getting that piece of paper. just for 1 order of 3 devices.

and not even knowing when the device will be shipped.

they did chek the VAT number,and they know its vailid.

but our country doesn't register the address online.

and we are allready a little bit pissed off at handtec.

why ask all the information,when just 1 paper was needed the whole time..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nesx87:
anyone

ever ordered from unlocked mobiles ?

any info on their reliability as a shop etc? + what about the insurance they provide?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Yeah, my order [amazon.co.uk] still says the 17th

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

If my order from amazon doesn't turn up on release day [and the price hasn't gone down] I'll be cancelling the order and going to a retail shop to get one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Amazon does not change your existing orders until you hit the dispatch timeframe. I've been Amazon user forever, ordering DVD's all the time and they have only notified me of changes to my order once it is not 'dispatching soon' once the estimate hits.

This is likely due to technical and administrative reasons more than anything, since their paperwork goes through once they charge your credit card and not before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
What are you dutch people doing that they're wanting all that information?! I made a pre-order, next day I've gotten an e-mail that I passed all security checks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Decent reviews.. http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews259605.html

I ordered from them, but holding onto the release date change until the very last moment puts me off.. if they did have their stock delayed until the 21st or even December would they tell anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Latest from Handtec:

"Stock Update: Stock is expected 21/11 However if stock arrives earlier in the UK be rest assured we will have it. Please check our blog entry for up to date info."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
This is the same company that had there release as 7-11 up until this morning
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
here is a blog to handtec. From all seen so far, i favor them. At least they are open and provide feedback.

http://www.handtec.co.uk/blog/2011/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-shipping-update/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
there is a diference between a normal order and a No VAt order(company)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md2:
:eek: I'm reconsidering my pre-order now, mainly as there seems to be a history of delays on this including the announcement. With the pace of android phone releases something else might appeal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Galaxy Nexus is showing "This item is due to be released on December 2, 2011.

Please note that release dates are subject to change.

Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk. Gift-wrap available." On amazon.co.uk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Have we reached a conclusion on wether there is actually a delay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Certainly on Amazon and delay seems to trickle down to others too, sellers are not sure about the 17th as much as before. And there are also 'rumours' that it will be for sale on 17th, but only with contract and the delay only affects carrier-free phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
One thing we can confirm is google really f'ked ths up..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Seems like a combo of Google and Samsung at this point. It's looking more and more like December will be the date :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
I see someone has posted on the spreadsheet the following comment regarding the Amazon uk release date:

"Samsung said that phone's release is still on 17th and that it is Amazon's supplier problem why the delay is December 2nd."

Does anyone know the source of this information?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
It's been discussed in Europe delay thread I believe. And today Amazon just sent out notices even to those who ordered before that the order has been delayed to 2nd of December. In Amazon.co.uk, under product discussions, one of the users called Samsung and they had stated that the release is still 17th, so this is only Amazon's supplier issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I went to my local orange store and car phone ware house and asked about the nexus. They didn't even know what I was on about :eek:

Sometimes I swear we as android users know more than the monkeys in these stores sometimes :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I know exactly what you mean I go in the phone shops on a regular basis as I know people who work in them and they dont even want to know about upcoming phones because they only want to know about what they are selling right now. I dont think any of the sales staff in the orange or vodafone shops knows what the galaxy nexus is lol. I kind of see where they are coming from, if I was a gynaecologist then I dont think I would be that interested in spending more time looking at it on the internet at the end of a busy day ;)

Anyway I know vodafone are definitely getting it in the shops but I dont think orange or o2 are stocking it. I have mine pre-ordered online I think thats going to be the fastest way of getting one.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skanj:
One of my mates works for three and he told me it would be definitely in on 17th Nov. Its on O2 coming soon page as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i havent seen nothing from samsung.. so crossing fingers that its still on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sarg92:
The reason the Orange staff didn't know anything about the Galaxy Nexus is because Orange not going to be selling the handset. Yes you can get the handset on the Orange network through a third party like Phones4U but Orange won't be selling it directly.

Also apparently Vodafone are going to be selling the Galaxy Nexus for free from £41 per month on a 24 month contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I pre ordered the nexus due for delivery on 17th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosimoss:
Where from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Where did you choose to get it from?

Im still pondering whether to place a pre-order, or just waiting for reviews to hit of the retail version.

I feel like I might as well just wait now, and see if there's any "gotchas" with the Nexus in use. All my excitement about it has slowly faded, with all the confusion around dates etc :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Another retailer is claiming to have it in stock:

http://www.shoppo.co/buy/1411/0/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus.php

at £416.66 (Ex. VAT), which runs at £499.99 (Inc. VAT)

They (seemed to) confirm this in an email I got this morning, although it looks like a rather generic response to me (note it says: we have stock "available", which could mean anything really, despite the fact I specifically asked them whether it was actually in stock or just a pre-order):

The site I think is brand new (despite them claiming to have "over a decade of experience in the online mobile phone and computer trading" (from their Twitter feed).

I highly doubt anybody has it in stock right now, just thought I would post it in case anyone knew anything more about the company (or just wanted to take a chance :D). The last time a company confirmed they had it in stock (TheOrder), they changed the date to 1st December the following day - so this could just be a ploy to gather pre-orders for something by claiming they have stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
check the specs:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
:D

I think those are the Nexus S specs, but I could be wrong.

It certainly doesn't fill me with confidence, that's for sure!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Phones 4 U
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Ah Phones4U is doing -really well- with Galaxy Nexus apparently. This really was an inside deal all along, they'll rack up quite a bit more sales than their competitors as a result of this near-exclusive approach with Samsung and carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
My pre-order from Unlocked-Mobiles.com is still expected for 17 Nov.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
The Galaxy Nexus is gone from their shop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
LOL, good thing for them amazon had delays -Ha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] floateruk:
I don't know if anyone can answer this but...

I just spoke to O2 because I have an out of contract handset with them at the moment. They have said that I cannot order the Nexus through them directly until the 17th of November, which means I miss the geeky release day excitement.

I can of course pre order through phones 4u, but then I have an overlap with my current 30 day contract and the new one, so I'll be paying twice for one month.

I don't think I'm that desperate.... maybe. I have had a 3gs for two and a half years and I am DESPERATE to get off iOS.

Does anyone have any experience with O2 and pre orders? Are they really not going to let me upgrade until the 17th?

Thanks for all the info anyway. This is a great site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris10230:
If they are as bad as they were 2 years ago for the hd2 launch then i would take that day with a pinch of salt. But then again I had no information until it was suddenly avaliable so maybe they actually know something...

Whatever personally I am waiting for reviews and an actual ship date I want but not that much :). Personally would be great to have a proper narive device....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] طوني تبولة:
I just ordered one from Clove for ~$715 (including Shipping)

I should get it before Thanksgiving.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyyankees3511:
How does the warranty work if we import it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md2:
I now have 2 on order, the price I pay for wanting a pure android device :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I also spoke to O2 yesterday and, in her words, "We will have it in on week commencing 17th November." which is confusing since the 17th is a flipping Thursday!! Anyway, it's just a few more days so worth the wait.

O2 will not take a pre-order. You'll just have to call them on the 17th and every day after that until they have stock and then they'll send it to you. And If they run out of stock from their first batch, you won't be able to order until they get their second batch, etc.

Welcome to Android BTW :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] floateruk:
Ah, thanks.

I'm a bit disappointed that third party companies can offer pricing and availability to pre-order yet the first party network can't.

I guess I'll ring them on Monday morning and see what they say. Hopefully I can have some joy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Pre order tariffs for CPW are on. Free from 36 on orange. I can't find a date tho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Potential delays:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
:\ i hope its not that bad, it always annoys me when companies do these exclusives i mean its ok if it only effects other carriers but if you want it sim free i dont see why it should effect stock to those stores that dont affiliate with carriers. tactics like this just hurt sales.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
Something from samsung about the 32GB - says initally only 16gb

http://www.facebook.com/SamsungUK/posts/309088312441539?notif_t=feed_comment
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I'm gonna go into my local CPW shop today/tomorrow and ask about date, and to see if they will pricematch.

At the tarriff I will go for, CPW want £199 for the phone, Phones4U want £119! I'd like to get it from my local shop but if they won't pricematch and still have it around the 17th I'll order online from P4U
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Yeah it was a blessing in disguise for me and the HD2 mess as I wasnt prepared to wait and just got a HTC Magic instead. And so began my android journey

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Ok hows about this then?

Seeing as it's looking like Phones4U may have a two week 'exclusive' on the handset why don't we all sign up for whatever they are offering us to get out grubby little mitts on the goodies then cancel the contract in the two week cooling off period after 'purchase' leaving us to get the handset for the much more reasonable sim free cost

Not totally sure on what the legalities are on this but that exactly what the 'cooling off' period is for right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks you just made me even happier I went through phones for you, I wasn't aware of this 'deal' and even got a discounted line rental (£41 contract for £33)and the phone free, keeping my old number as I was able to upgrade my contract with Orange through them. This means when my nexus arrives it will be cheaper to run than my current SE x10i lol :D

I couldn't be happier execpt when it arrives at my house on 17th and get all day to play with it as I got the day off work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
A friend of mine is looking to upgrade his contract, he's not actually interested in the phone itself and would be looking to sell. I would buy it off him, what do you think a reaonsable price would be which would fair to both of us? I was thinking £400 based on the fact it retails for £510 sim free.

Slightly off-topic, sorry!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
Jesus H. Christ on a pogostick!

Does Phones4U have an exclusivity period or not?! I specifically ordered from the UK, because they're ostensibly getting it the earliest, I might as well order from Belgium now, should this prove true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I definately see why people would be pissed if this phones 4 u exclusivity thing does turn out to be true, I'm just glad I went with them and didn't even know about this exclusivity thing till today. BUT even if it is true, its only a couple of weeks to wait, the world will not end within that time and it should make you feel more eager to get your hands on one and not get annoyed.

Also check sites like ebay for 'unwanted upgrades' there's bound to be tons of people selling there's to make a quick bit of cash.

Here the link for galaxy nexus from phones 4 u http://www.phones4u.co.uk/reviews/galaxy-nexus.asp when I pre ordered the guy said no delays with them. Make of this post what you will but I think you lot should calm down personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
its just a painful way to do business apple make a new product give a launch date and on that day they sell its not rocket science, and for me google samsung couldnt run a piss up in a brewery and wonder why they play second fiddle to apple, they know how to market a product from start to finish
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
the people i ordered from is also obviously importing from the UK and he swears there is no delay for him. He has word of secure stock for his orders.. if this is true only time will tell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
My supplier wasnt actually sure if they would be getting them on the 17th or not so I cancelled the order today and pre-ordered on phones4u. Was assured I will be getting it delivered to my door by the 17th and I dont mind paying a bit more as there is a phones4u shop in my town so if anything goes wrong I can go get it sorted out right away without hastle.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Pity phones4u don't do sim free or even any contracts I'd consider (12 months is an absolute max. - I haven't kept a phone longer than that in years) otherwise I'd go with them.

When CPW sold the nexus S last year I walked into the shop and just paid cash.. no contracts required. Seems a backward step to try to lock what is after all a developer phone into long contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davados:
Went into my local phones4u, Cribs Causeway Bristol. They said come back tomorrow afternoon as they will be delivered tomorrow morning. They said the GN will only be try before you buy, None to be sold until the 17th. In amongest his sale patter he said that they will be the only company within the uk to sell the GN for 14days from the release day. So i'll have a play tomorrow but will wait until Vodafone releases it.

http://www.davados.co.uk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sarg92:
The whole 14 day exclusive thing may not be entirely true. Vodafone and O2 customer services have both said that from the 17th they can start taking orders for the handset.

Phones4U may have an exclusive on pre-orders, majority of the initial stock and bigger marketing campaign.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davados:
That's good news about Vodafone, as I went into my local Vodafone shop today and they didn't even know when they would have stock. If this is true then maybe the 17th will be a good date for me.

http://www.davados.co.uk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
That's definitely reassuring because when I went to my orange store they didn't even know what a galaxy nexus was and just looked confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
They look like that most of the time anyway lol. The Orange plan im signing up for through phones4u states clearly in the orange book that it includes 'unlimited email' for upto 4 accounts but noone in the shop seemed to know what that meant exactly and 1 guy even seemed to think the email would come out of my data plan which doesnt make it unlimited at all.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
i cant believe anybody would use phones4u even if they have exclusivity on the gn they are the biggest set of rogues on the uk high street and are totally clueless i havent ever used and will never use that chain of phone selling mongrels ever
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majikdragoon:
So I ordered form Phones4U as soon as the Orange pre-orders went live. What are they like for delivering? Will it arrive on the 17th or a couple of days later?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaminkac:
Hi,

I was using F1 V6 ROM on JVK for some time (flashed it with no problems using Odin and Clockwork). After some time, it started to crash more often. I triend V7 but it was even worse so I got back to V6. The only problem was often restarts and sometimes slow operation.

Yesterday I decided to switch to Cyanogen to give it a try. I did it without flashing from scratch. I just used Cyanogen 7.1 installation through Clockwork. It seemed OK untill I tried to connect my phone to PC via USB. I couldn't get any response from PC (not even a sound indicating that something was connected to USB) or Phone (no mount USB screen).

So I was able to charge my phone through USB but not to connect it to PC (tried 2 PCs, different cables, different ports). It doesn't seem like driver problem (no sign of connecting phone to PC, nothing).

I thought that it might be some problem with Cyanogen ROM. So I tried to go back to F1 V6 (wipe) through Clockwork. After doing it, I got boot loop but still showing the logo of Cyanogen (not SGSII from F1). Having no USB connection and being unable to start the phone, I tried to do recovery (I had a backup of F1 V6 from the moment before installing Cyanogen. That didn't go well either. The process stopped and left me with Samsung Galaxy S logo (no boot loop - just hanging there). I cant get into recovery mode anymore. I can only get to download mode.

So the status right now is:

Download mode - OK

USB - can't get phone to connect with PC (no signs of connection so probably not a driver problem but maybe? I tried reinstalling kies, drivers, running Odin, no sign of connected phone, USBDeview shows no Samsung or Kies or Android drivers in my system right now).

Hanging on the Samsung Galaxy S screen.

Did anyone had similar situation?

What do you advice? Any idea on a atest checking if USB hardware is fine?

Was it possible to break USB hardware or driver in phone by installing Cyanogen 7.1 on F1 V6 SGS2?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Cyanogen uses a different file system, so to get it back to a Sammy ROM you need to flash it with Odin. and cyanogen doesn't use the Sammy driver for connecting to the PC. download nexus s drivers from the Android SDK and install it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaminkac:
OK, so how do I install these drivers when my PC can't see that I have my phone connected to USB port? There is no driver error. After connection nothing happens.

Is there a way to install these drivers on Windows 7 without actually having sgs listed on device list?

any help with that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Get your phone into download mode (volume down + home + power) and see if windows lists it then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaminkac:
Thanks but it does not.

No sign of connecting phone to PC.

any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Reflash the CM7 Rom, and see if it shows up in device manager. Do you get an option on CM to share disc drives with usb plugged to the computer?

Oh, and if you have KIES installed, try remove it and remove the driver pack too (i know it affects ODIN's ability to see the phone).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaminkac:
Solved

Thanks for help.

I got different cable (third) and different (third) PC and somehow it worked - PC noticed connection of SGS in download mode and than it was easy.

I installed clean JVT, than CF-Root and CM 7.1 + google apps.

It seems to work fine for now.

Please close this thread.

Cheers
