[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Argent:
Quick question -- I've preordered a Nexus 7 16gb and i wanted to use the $25 to grab some tablet apps on my Nook while i wait for it. Only issue is, the credit isn't showing up in my payment options...

Do you get the credit upon ordering, or is that when you activate it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekillingtree:
it looks like you get the credit once the new device is activated. at least, that's how it looked from the google videos.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
Yep that's how it works. Along with the Transformers movie.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctahjeph:
wait so we are getting free movies too??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
Just 1 free movie. The Transformers one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcracken:
We get Transfomers: Dark of the Moon, The Bourne Dominon (book), and a couple magazines. Plus the $25 credit, of course.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hetwo:
Question

Is everybody who buys this tablet now or in the store getting 25$ giftcard and films or just the one who are pre-ordering it in Google Play Store?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDFierro:
It says for a limited time, so I assume just those who are pre-ordering. Or the first round of pre-orders, who knows.

I do think it is good the credit/movies and all that will just come on the device. Easiest way to do it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hetwo:
Strategy

In their developer conference they said that it is new strategy to customers buy more products in Google Play, but he did not say if all tablets have that 25$ gift :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingblade20:
provided all pre-ordered devices will get $25 gift.what happens if the device is activated outside US,UK, and Australia? will there still be $25 gift in the form of other currency? thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shade21:
I do believe that's a question to call and ask google. They havent released any info yet about overseas presales that I'm aware of
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
When I ordered mine (Canada), it did showed credit being applicable. Anyways, with the amount of taxes we pay - I guess Google hand out pro-rated credits ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solid009:
Does the credit apply to the play store as a whole, meaning can this credit be applied toward the case or other accessories?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo976:
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the free credit will show up once your card has been placed and the order shipped and it probably applies to apps or media. The free book, movie and magazines will probably only be accessible if you log into google play from the US or Canada, The UK or Australia the only places where legit pre-orders are available right now.

If you pre-order one and you log in for the first time outside of those countries, you will not be able to access that part of the play store and download the free media. I may be wrong and it all comes pre-loaded but I have a feeling otherwise, I guess we will have to wait and see.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserpc:
Okay, so the free credit (£15 per device - from the UK); I've ordered 2 tablets together - to save on postage. One for my wife and one for someone else, I ordered it while logged into my google account and unticked the option that said to register the devices to me (as obviously my wife and friend have their own google accounts).

So how will it know to assign the credit to them, is this built into the tablet rather than via the store? Sorry I'm a bit confused and don't want to lose out on the £30 total credit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Id say the first account you log on with will get it on each device
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speednub:
Unfortunately, the credit cannot be used for subscriptions or accessories. Sucks right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaventh:
This is exactly how it works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
Perhaps a card is given in the packaging with a number similar to a credit card number and when you go to input a credit card you type in this number so you can pay with it like that; and then perhaps you can choose between using a credit card or using the gift card.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Credit is given when the actual device is activated.

Credit goes to the Google account used for that activation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maggard5:
I called Google on this. They told me that the account you activate the Nexus 7 with is the account that receives the $25 credit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
Looks like the we'll get the credit here in Canada too. Sweeet. Could have picked a better movie though LOL.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterxchief:
Is it 1 credit per account? I ordered 2 of them and both are linked to my google account.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maggard5:
Not sure. I only ordered one so I didn't ask about that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorisZX6R:
What really sucks is there is absolutely no information on the order page for the nexus 7 regarding the $25 credit. Nobody mentions that you cannot use that credit to buy a Nexus 7 cover for example...

This is the response I got from google regarding the ship date, the order tracking and the $25 credit.

"Thank you for emailing into Google. It is my pleasure assisting you in all your inquiries.

Preorders will begin shipping in mid-July, though at this time I’m unable to provide a specific date for your individual order.

Once your order has shipped, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email and tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date.

Your Google Play $25 credit is our gift to you when you have, or add, a valid form of payment to your Google Wallet account. This will happen when you first sign into the device with your account.

Your Google Play credit is ready to use right away. Just open the Google Play Store app on your Nexus 7 or visit play.google.com and start shopping, and remember to select “Google Play balance” when you’re checking out. If you have credit remaining, you can use it on your next Google Play purchase.

Your Google Play credit can only be used on Google Play. You can shop on the web at play.google.com or on the Google Play Store app on your phone.

*Note that the $25 credit may not be used to buy a subscription or in the Devices section of play.google.com toward the purchase of a Nexus device or on any device accessories.

Google Play credit can not be combined with other payment methods and is not redeemable for cash. For full terms and conditions, please visit: http://play.google.com/intl/en_us/about/offer-terms.html

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Questions go in the Q&A forum. Thread moved to Q&A...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CooLoserTech:
all waves of pre-orders, no after release pickups (non pre order)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcat007:
Not exactly answered here... but do all pre-orders get this credit and movie, even if it's a pre-order not from the Play Store? (like B&H). We are indirectly buying from "Google" no mater where we buy it... anyone got a non play store one and get the credit after activation?

"Buy the new tablet from Google and get $25 credit to spend on Google Play, as well as some great free content, including your own copy of Transformers: Dark of the Moon."
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Apparently all tablets get it, regardless of where it has been purchased from
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnknownFearNG:
In my opinion, everyone who did not get their device from the Play Store should not have received the $25 credit. I think it should only have been to those that preordered right from the Google Play Store. But that's just me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcat007:
Why? I paid the full $249 price and preordered early last week... Google's goal is to sell more Google stuff. I've never bought a book, but with the credit I might try one, if I like it I'm sure I''d buy more.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavySpark:
That doesn't make much sense, Google is trying to get people interest in their product. The more avenues that offer a bonus the better for them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
It's more a sense of "I pre ordered and paid the shipping charges whereas you guys just got off your asses and went to a store". And I understand as I'm in the same boat. Google apparently doesn't realize how close Canada is...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnknownFearNG:
Yeah, guess you guys are right. Guess I'm still a little disappointed that people were able to get the Nexus 7 so soon from retailers, when it should of been the people from the Play Store to receive their devices first. Oh well, only a few more days :). Thinking of using my credit for a few books.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurvaappu:
I skipped the part where it asked for credit card to get 25$ credit,..

How to I go back to it now ?/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
You already have it. Try to buy something in the play store it will give you the option a check out.
[HTC One X] realunited123:
There is already a port from GNex system dump. Also a Nexus 7 system dump was made available so let's see how it goes.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] bxlogic:
Oh, that's good i guess!

I CALL LeeDrOid or CoolExe! they r cool developers so they can port to HTC One X
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Development section, done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
idk if this is a ? or a statement but is there anyway there will be a stock JB ROM soon? i would love to use stock without sense to check it out. not a developer by any means, but couldn't someone port it somehow or something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
We have great developers here. The ROM has been leaked. Give it time.

They're working on it :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
+1 on the great developers! I know i know im just getting antsy cuz i let my brother borrow my gnex and now im wishing i had it back lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
You can install JB right now if you want, it just won't work

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AardvarkAttack:
This is very helpful
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
Well,your question was very stupid and my answer was accurate.

Deck is still getting cm9 running so I'm sure when he desides he will switch to the jelly version when CM does.

sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drdagreenphd:
The number 1 thing developers hate is when people ask questions like this. When something is ready, it will be released. I'm sure you're not the only person lurking around these forums that wants stock jelly bean on their device. Let them do their thing and be patient. Hell, they are still baking stock ICS roms, so JB will take a little while longer. Keep being pushy and I'm sure you will end up on someone's sh*t list. Just giving you a heads up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
and its people like you guys like get there a*s kicked cause they just like to run the trap. im not one to talk trash but when someones a smarta*s to me over a simple question then all bets are off. it was a simple question that anyone who had any info on if a build is coming could have answered. exactly the answers i got from you kids i could of gotten from a baby. aka your being a smarta*s so whatever...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AsinX:
You come in here asking a question that is religiously flamed for and hope to not get flamed? Wow. Everyone knows not to ask for ETAs, and if you wanna talk so much smack back how about you port it over yourself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Posting in a soon-to-be-closed thread! :victory:

Also OP, sorry you got flamed! I would guess a ROM will be out at the latest by the end of 2012 or such. I'm no dev, though. Patience, padawan! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theultimatev:
Expect a working SDK port by the end of the month or a little ways into August. For the real deal, I'd say a few weeks after a device with jelly bean is released
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
as the other guys say this type of question is the few of the ones you dont ask. when a dev puts it out, it will be announced. and im sure a few devs who love senseless roms are rushing their little fingers to put out the code for it, hell the HTC ONE X international got it last night, but i know that because i like to keep up to date on my phones.

but i dunno, i gave you 2 answers and you weren't happy, here is a 3rd.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drdagreenphd:
I was just giving you a heads up about the way you were asking. I don't bash people here, but some others will without hesitation. You, like all the rest of us, have and are wondering when things will get ported over and become available, but we all must be patient. The devs hate when you ask questions like this because it makes them feel rushed, and when they feel rushed they either take longer on the development of whatever project or they completely abandon it all together. Again, wasn't trying to be a smart ass to you dude, just didn't want to see you get flamed here. Like the rest of us, just be patient.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EPayne123:
There is nothing wrong with a question like this. What I understood from the question was the OP was asking if there are any plans on it which is a legitimate and friendly question. Most question that are "If" are okay but "when" is not so good. I am wondering IF we are going to have it one day versus I am wondering WHEN they will have one. No issues with this question at all.

finally someone who is not just out to say something mean or smart to someone. and exactly what he said...im not asking "when is 4.1 going to be on our device, i want it now and it better be flawless".......NO im just simply asking if anyone has heard or talked to anyone THAT'S IT!!! so many ppl on here just out to get ya and its kinda sad if ya ask me but whatever its all good. anyways to the few that gave a good response thank you. no thanks to the rest....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
first off i didnt mean to hit the "thanks" button i hit it on accident going for the "quote" button. but idk who your talking about because if you could read you would of seen that i wasn't asking for an ETA. I was asking if there will be and if its even possible to port something from another phone like the "gnex" over to our phone. and last if you would read some more of this thread you would see that i wasn't the one running my mouth so dont come at me like that saying i was.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BlueGoldAce:
Doesn't matter if the op was right or wrong in asking his question. Let it be...

I will never understand why people have to flame someone/be a smart ass behind their computer on these forums. You can say whatever you want concerning the original post, but it doesn't change the fact that your response was unwelcome and completely worthless. If the op was wrong, let it be or let an admin reprimand him. I don't see any of you "flamers" with admin status. No matter what you say, your response was worse than the original post.

To the OP, jellybean will get here when it does. Will it get here soon? I hope so! Honestly, no one knows, there are too many factors that will effect the timing of a JB stock rom release. Rest certain that it will arrive eventually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Just be the bigger person. No need to get all fired up. You will see rude people around here and in every forum. No matter the question rude and smartass comments are not called for.

This is a very new phone and it will likely get 4.1. So I am sure the one you want will end up here it will just take some time.

As for not being a dev thats fine. Look up the source for it and some threads on building AOSP roms and give making an AOSP a try. Who knows maybe you'll like it.

Good luck and dont mind the rude ones here.

Also porting from the Gnex would likely be not an easy task but I am sure he probably has a git for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
yea actually i have been trying to learn code and script and all the aosp stuff. its crazy hard lol but i know man ur always gonna have haters on here that's for sure. but thanks for the comment.

As Title says really.

Currently have HTC Desire, and would like to upgrade to new phone, although not massively keen on have a really big phone(Galaxy Nexus, SIII etc).

What options do i have as it seems like most of the new phones are large screen wise etc?

It doesn't necessary have to be absolute top spec(whatever get will be better than Desire Spec wise), as not really a massive 'Power User'

Have considered Galaxy Nexus several times, but as stated above worried/not sure on the size. What are peoples experience of moving up to larger phone?

I live in the UK if it makes a difference

Thanks

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I went from a 4 inch Samsung Vibrant to a 4.65 inch Galaxy Nexus and am pretty comfortable with it. I wanted the larger screen, but was worried if it would still be comfortable in my front pocket and it still fits nicely. So it's worked out nicely for me.

If want a smaller phone, I think the HTC One S looks pretty nice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
You might want to check out the One S. It has a 4.3 inch screen, which is a little bit smaller than the biggest, and still has great specs :)

Size on the gnex ( which is now running JELLYBEAN...not ICS BTW) is not an issue at all for me.
