[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Just to follow up, I checked in with my local Carphone Warehouse today.

The phone still isn't even showing on their computers (normally it would do, before they get stock). In fact, the woman I spoke to hadn't even heard of it.

This is looking more likely that the only way to get one around the 17th will be via Phones4U. The good news(?) is if the staff haven't even heard of it, then the general public won't have, meaning there shouldn't be iPhone style queues and shortages. Assuming they are going to make enough of them to begin with of course...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
wow is phones4u the verizon of the UK?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
that annoying store is a trader offering various contracts with O2/Vodafone/Orange together with phones.

They dont sell without contracts (online) and afaik not in stores either.

They dont ship outside of UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TabGuy:
Could the delay be due to rooting?

Since the Galaxy Nexus has already been rooted before it's actually been released, is it possible that Verizon got miffed and is scrambling to fix that before it's delivered? I gotta think that this makes the Verizon execs blood boil.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Nope. Nexus is supposed to be easily rootable/unlockable. Verizon is not allowed to bloat it up in the first place. I can guarantee that O.O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No lol. Not even a chance. The Nexus is meant to be easily rooted. They're not delaying the phone around the world because it was rooted.

Most phones that come out on every carrier (even Verizon) get rooted before they get released. They don't delay the phone because of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MountainDrew:
How can a phone without an official release date be delayed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheetohz:
Delayed would mean it does not come out in November as was stated by google and samsung.

On a side note, if this thing comes with bloat, I will pass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacifik:
It's official release date is sometime in November. 20 days left til the internet calls Google/Samsung a liar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
If I had to bet, I'd point my finger toward Verizon as the culprit for the lack of information. It especially makes sense when you see that their Droid RAZR and Rezound are being released around the same time. Why cannibalize your own lineup?

That's my guess.

I wish Google didn't pander to any particular carriers. Does anyone know why they chose Verizon, or how it got to be Veriz exclusive in the first place?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They wanted to make an LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus. Verizon is their only choice really. From that point on, the ball was kinda in Verizon's side of the court and they took advantage of it and started asking for exclusivity I bet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I would guess verizon put up some money or maybe there was some reasoning in the mix that verizon customers have more disposable income and might better penetrate the capabilities of nfc faster.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.

Canada, USA, and Hong Kong Launch Delayed to December 8th.

From the Negri Electronics blog:

UPDATE: 11/14/2011 – We have received word from our supplier that we will NOT receive stock this week. Stock is expected to ship to “early next week”. These were the exact words from our supplier who is direct with Samsung. If you have checked elsewhere for the stock, you will also see (if they are honest with their customers) that they will not be getting their stock as expected. This is not such a “delay” as it is a later arrival on the stock that expected. We do know that Canada/USA and Hong Kong launch was officially delayed until December 8th, 2011. The stock we have secured is not part of that delay.

If this has already been posted, I'm sorry I've made another thread about it. Just wanted to give a little extra confirmation. UK launch is still set for this week, Negri will get stock next week, USA (Verizon), Hong Kong, and Canada will have to wait until December.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I sent another message to Amazon, as the originally planned 17th is very near now and Samsung has confirmed that delays are not due to them and it will be released in UK on 17th by multiple sellers. But there's no change, Amazon will not have it on launch day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sm.vassallo:
Why ? The SG2 is a better phone, don't waste your money but of course it is your money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I don't like at all how SG2 feels in my hand. It's too blocky for that size. I've given it a try plenty of times in the shops, it's just horrible. And, really, I don't think it looks good either, Samsung really didn't design it well, or didn't copy iPhone well enough.

Hardware wise though it is very good, I agree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Depends on the point of view. I sold mine for the NG.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Yupe, I feel the same about SGS2.

It's too blocky ... boxed ... rectangularish? :)

Especially for that size ...

And I feel too light ...

I like the slight curved of GN ...

I don't know, probably because I am used to Nexus S ... also curved and a bit heavier compared to SGS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwertyblue:
I've had a call from Three UK saying my phone won't arrive until Tuesday (22nd) because of a delay in them getting stock. No way of knowing if this means all of their GN's are delayed but I was pretty on the ball with the pre-order, as soon as I got the notification email it was pre-ordered. A bit annoying but not the end of the world. Hopefully that's the last of the delays.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wu_wei_lion:
Please post a link. I checked Negri Electronic's blog and didn't see any posts like that. I ordered from them and would like to know when to expect my device.

Thanks

Never mind I found it in the comments about pricing..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kfjunky:
Just got an email from	Clove.

They say that the first sim free Galaxy Nexus devices will arrive on the 23rd, although even that date is not fully confirmed.

So I guess I'll have to be patient and wait...

Clove first delivery delayed

Bit annoyed. Called Clove yesterday to see if 17th was still ok. Yes sir no issues, read that Samsung had also stated all was ok

Look at Clove just a moment ago. They now state first shipment on 23rd.

Very poor IMO

Looks like HTC hear I come in February. First Sammy and now last Sammy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Does Google not sell the Nexus phones through http://google.com/nexus anymore? I decided against the Verizon version and I'm sticking with T-Mobile, so the unlocked model they sell should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
O2 have also delayed the Galaxy Nexus until next week unfortunately.

http://gazedice.com/2011/11/15/o2-delay-galaxy-nexus-release-until-week-of-21st-november/

So it seems that if you want a Nexus this week then you will have to get it through phones4u and most probably on a contract that no one wanted because we all wanted it SIM free!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
already mentioned a few times in the UK thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhbr12742:
Sorry for the duplicate post guys. I didn't see that one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
This is not the fault of Clove and do not be surprised if there will be further delays. This is entirely due to Samsung and their partnerships with carriers, sim-free phones are what are getting pushed back and there's nothing Clove (and other unlocked-phone sellers) can sadly do anything about it.

As mentioned this is already being discussed in existing threads so please post there.

Worst. Launch. Ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
At earliest, we can se the 16gb version in UK the 23rd of November and 8th of December in the US...

A bit disappointed for sure..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
Wait, whaaaaaa--?

/rage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
This is the part that pissed me off.

Until I remembered it was from Niegri Electronics, who knows literally nothing about the entire launch.

People believing they know what they're talking about are using poor judgment. Niegri knows next to nothing and is only giving these dates so as to appease people that preordered. It could come out tomorrow or it could come out in March...Niegri has no idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
Good point --

With the release of the ICS Source + Contest, it makes me think the launch is sooner than later.. But an increase in the, "it's been delayed" category + no announcement from ANY party are starting to become troubling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
wow man what an f'n screw up on this launch! i kept my pre-order with Negri, for now.. I am hoping for some sort of announcement so i can cancel...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
where's that ***** slap icon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
Not that I want to totally spoil the depression but technically its NOT delayed if your using Phones4u who Samsung have an exclusive deal with and it is still scheduled for the 17th with them if you ordered online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
congrats verizon users

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
Yes but technically all Phones4u orders will be delivered on the 18th at the earliest so technically still a delay :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
..unless you show up at 8am on oxford street on the 17th like some say :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
Touche....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
Well you know Friday isn't too bad really - its only one day. IF they actually do what they say that is...

I actually placed an order through phones4u earlier and when I called back to check my status they said delivery in 3-5 days!

Now I want to add that I didn't think that the person I was speaking to was particularly with it so I didn't bother pushing her on it. I'll call tomorrow but like everyone else said when I spoke to them earlier they said delivery from the 17th although as others have said that is now linked to bethe following day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackout19:
Phones4u told me 'it will ship on Wednesday and be with you for Thursday, but to cover ourselves, we have to let you know it may take 3-5 working days' which would explain what you were told.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ekerbuddyeker:
Perhaps it's a little naive but I see at least 3 reputable sellers on eBay shipping now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I see three one says the 17th another says the 21, and last 23rd or they could be delayed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clearym:
Are you sure they are shipping now? Could you provide a link?

All the ones I found are pre release orders that will be shipped once the seller receives their stock...

Edit: I meant that the eBay sellers are selling pre orders, not that that they'really selling pre release or prototype units. But I could be wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Watch out about those eBay sellers. They might be selling the pre-release phones that might have piles of problems. We don't really know what Samsung/Google tweaked (and if they tweaked) anything for the final release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Samsung have replied to my post on facebook saying launch is tomorrow and more details will be posted later today. They still ignored my question about whether it will be available sim free tomorrow too.

Samsung facebook reponse

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

From Samsung Facebook

Head down to Phones 4u, 112-114 Oxford Street at 8am tomorrow for your chance to be the first person in the world to own a Galaxy Nexus! Exclusive offers will be available for the first 100 customers. We're very excited!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
whilst we knew about this already, again what a piece of BS. Couldnt they annouce this earlier - people usually go to work at that time - and the geeks could have taken a day off.

And what f...ed up launch is that. Available in ONE store. O.n.E. In the whole world on "launch day". Comme on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
I phoned Oxford street P4U store and asked if they will sell sim free, they said yes but didnt know price yet although he speculated "around £500". He also said they were the only place in the UK to sell it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Sammy is pushing for the release but google is still finalizing the OS and thats the main reason for the delay...they are flashing/testing a new ROM day by day....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
The released source code for ics is 4.0.1 which google said themselves is the one the GN ships with so they wont be updating that before physical distribution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I think the whole congregation of this forum is going to descend on oxford street tomorrow at 8am ready to grab all the stock.

Any xda members going to pick up a phone from there tomorrow should wear a sticker that says xda on it so you can say hi to each other as you walk out the store with a huge grin on your face lol.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Are you sure?

A post was made in Amazon.co.uk that states that Samsung UK just got the stock today due to last minute revisions by Google and it will be shipped to partners tomorrow (some supposedly get it a little later, majority should get it by noon, at least carrier-based stores).

We'll know for sure tomorrow though.

http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/11/17/galaxy-nexus-exclusive-arrangement-explained-by-phones4u/

According to this it seems that Phones4U has not only the exclusive launch, but two-week exclusive launch. It seems unlikely that we are able to get a phone, unlocked, from elsewhere before December.

I've just picked up mine from the Three store in Leicester city centre, had apparently arrives 30 minutes before I did!

Some good news for those who ordered from Clove:

This means that all the current pre-orders from Clove should be shipped as the demand, at the moment, is within limits of the stock they will get.

I also asked about the possible 'withholding of information' regarding Phones4U two-week exclusivity, but haven't gotten a response yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
Dear friends...

Im new here so Ill try to be breif.

I bought a galaxy Note and I have an issue.

Im not familiar with terms so I dont know if my problem is called banding or anything else of the kind.

In a page that has a white backround (happens with some other backgrounds too but especially with white) I notice this:

The white changes shades... for ex.: it could take a pink-ish shade or a green-ish shade or a light blue one. All this ofcourse as a shade and not eye-popping differences. Just noticable.

Does anyone have knowledge on this issue?

What I'm really sick about finding out is if others are facing this problem also or if this is just my devise because Im an extremly lucky person and I dropped it right out of the box!!! So my worry is if I did some damage to the screen, or if this is just an issue with the hd led display.:(

Any help would be highly appreciated because as you understand, I will feel much less stupid if this is a common problem, rather than having caused it myself.

Thanking in advance

Gus
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiebum:
Uh... sounds like you need to return it. It shouldn't change shades when displaying white.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
^^^Copy that, you need to get that replaced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharpshooterrr:
Does the white change shades while you are looking at the phone directly or when you are moving it sideways and viewing from varying angles?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahshn:
Same problem here

I have the same issue with the screen you describe! I thought I am the only one...Could it be a wide-spread problem and other don't notice it? it is a very faint hue change from pink to green with a variable frequency but on low-brightness is annoying as it distracts me from reading... I do not know if it is a problem with the device or a feature of the superamoled display; I did not see this on my Galaxy s1 nor S2.

So, my concern: is this going to stay like this, to degenerate or to cure by itself.:p

I may return the phone but due to the stock shortage I will have to stay without it and I am quite hooked by this device...

Also due to the fact that this is barely visible it may not be accepted for servicing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannstarr:
I know exactly what you are talking about, and i have seen it in my device. Do not fear, it is not a hardware fault, and is not caused by your drop:

Go to settings / display and scroll down. You will see 'auto adjust screen power' and when this is checked it seems to cause this, although i agree it is barely noticeable.

I keep mine checked because i prefer the potential power savings
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
I want to thank everyone for their replies!

Thank you Gahshn and dannstarr.

You cant imagine what a releif it is to know I didnt cause this problem myself.

Dannstarr thank you VERY much for your settings suggestion.

Im under the impression that it DID reduce the frequency of the problem quite much but it didnt completely stop.

Nevertheless, it is an improvement.

The fact that Im not alone on this, is a releif by itself but,

anyone else who is facing the problem and has more suggestions on this, please reply!!!

I guess there's no point on taking it to Samsung now.

They'll just do a factory reset and I'll loose what ever free apps and progress within apps and games I've made.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
directly my friend
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
Different light intensity

I have a similar problem. I don't so much see shades with different colors, but different light intensities, horizontally across the screen if you hold it in portrait mode (typical way of holding in one hand).

You mostly notice it when all the display is grey, but also a bit on white.

You can see it by downling the free tool "Screen test" and going to the third page (first is white, second black and third grey).

I made a picture of it.

Do you have this issue?

I wonder if it makes sense trying to replace it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
@ Hironimo

Yes my friend, I downloaded the app that u said and these lines DO appear maybe not as intense as shown on the photo but visible.

As far as my issue, its very nerve braking because it doesnt appear at once so if you wanna show someone what ur talking about its very difficult.

Its more vissible with low brightness and with apps with white backround like gmail or browsing etc. You observe the screen for a minute or less, and it appears.

I think we hit the jackpot with this screen and I think we should all contact samsung in Korea because they are enjoing almost my one month salary and I am getting dizzy by reading within their so called hd super amoled screen! If I only knew......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airisire:
I have a similar issue - horizontal banding in landscape view and hue change of white between pink and green (!) - barely visible in plain light but annoying whan screenfilter is on (screenfilter is a free app to reduce the brightness for use at night); I have not seen other phone (none of my friends have this model) but on previous phones I had I did not notice this type of problem.

I do not think it is a defect - is more like a variation in quality of the pentilematrix I would not expect from a manufacturer this screen.

Sending for replacement may look bizarre because it is a minor problem and you may be told that no screen is perfect and have issues like this to some extent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
Yes, this is also my take on it.

It is no major defect, and indeed if I send it in for repair they may say there is nothing wrong. And if I send it back to amazon saying it is faulty they will replace it (once) and I may get a screen with the same issue.

I do have to say that on the photo it appears clearer as when you normally look at it, and in normal use you seldomly notice it.

But when I compare it with my "old" galaxy s2 I know what evenly lit means ...

My friend also tells me i thinks the defect is not big enough to do something about it.

In so many other respects I love the note.

Especialy that FINALLY they have volume controls on the headset.

But I'm very intersted to see how many others have this or similar issues...

Maybe if we are enough we can contact Samsung and get a statement.

What about creating a poll?
