Have fun cancelling, i heard you're going to have to wait for the item to come, refuse shipment, then wait for it to credit back to your account
[Nexus 7 General] doctahjeph:
My issue is if Google is/was able to ship units off to retailers, then why can't they do the same with the preorders? Preorder shipments should have started back when they started shipping units to retailers.
[Nexus 7 General] clandest:
I WANT IT NOW!!

Pre-order means that you reserve your copy so that you are guaranteed a order at release. Not I ordered it on the 28th so I deserve to be the first to get EVERYTHING!!

People always think people OWE them something.. ME ME ME ME ME.

And don't reply telling me that if you run a business how your customer service should be blah blah blah.. All in all google doesn't owe you anything when they haven't even released a date yet.. They said mid july, its not mid july yet, one more week.
[Nexus 7 General] foxorroxors:

[Nexus 7 General] thephased:
They definitely didn't execute things very great. No defined street date which led to reseller confusion. Maybe they couldn't set one because they weren't sure of their own availability and the units they could sell on Google Play.
[Nexus 7 General] clandest:
I would be annoyed if the company released a date when they were going to ship and everyone else's was "OFFICIALLY" shipped before mine..

No one has gotten their N7 yet, so until massive people start getting theirs before you do.. Then I can see to be a little frustrated, but just being mad because its not getting here as fast as you want is dumb.

Thanks for approching the topic with a bit of respect for others situations, and putting logic first. You are right and ill clarify at least in my situation, my biggest thing is that Google has room to improve their Device Launch procedures ALOT. We all want google to succeed and have many more launches, the criticism is both warranted and neccesary to support the growth of the platform we all love. Am i MAD? NO, but i dont think theres anything wrong with honest criticism of the situation, naturally the people with a vested interest are going to be the ones doing the criticising.
[Nexus 7 General] jase33:
I just got my payment credited back for the purchase of my N7. No communication, notice or email....nothing. So I don't even know if I'm gonna get one or not. Oh well....
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
To me honestly, I don't care if other stores get it before me, no matter where I pre-ordered. I just care about getting it quickly. Your guaranteed to get a copy plus you get free in store credit along with a movie the whole world has seen and doesn't want to see again :/ . You'll get it when you get it :p

[Nexus 7 General] colonel187:
Everybody is missing the point. Why offer pre orders if you don't intend people to pre pay early and be guaranteed the product on release day. Nobody expects the product "early" we just expect the product before 3rd parties. When you pre order a game , gamestop ships it early and times it so you receive it on release day. They don't ship it on release day and make you wait 2-5 days to receive it.

I hate to use this because I hate them but Apple does the same thing. If you pre order a device from Apple you get that item delivered on release day, not after.

Paying extra for shipping and ordering directly from the people "making" the device should guarantee item in hand on release day. So pre suck it to everybody with snarky remarks to follow.

Ps. I know Google isn't physically making the tablet; Asus is, hence the quotations. Ass!
[Nexus 7 General] foxorroxors:
That just made my nexesless day perfect :-)
[Nexus 7 General] ghost-5:
Do people even understand what pre order means?

It means that you have put your name down to receive one as soon as possible in case they sell out.

Yes you should be among the first to receive it. In no way does it mean you are going to get it early.

Your bonus for pre ordering is the play store credit.

You'll probably find that stores like ebuyer are shipping them out early without googles permission.

It's like when betas for games are released people now simply see it as early access, not what they are designed for

It's not the end of the world if you have to wait a couple of days extra. And if it bothers you that much you should book you're tickets now for next year's Google io so you don't miss out.
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
What your CC payment that showed up when you first ordered it? That was just a temp charge. Everyone's disappears after a few days. You'll get re-billed when they actually ship.

>Why offer pre orders if you don't intend people to pre pay early and be guaranteed the product on release day.

Distribution logistics is not an exact science. There are many steps in the process, and errors and happenstance can occur. Shipments can get to their destinations earlier or later. In short, **** happens.

Also account for the profit motive. Retailers are naturally eager to get their toys out the door the fastest, because they know early adopters don't wait. Their ability to make money depends on being first. The manufacturer may impose a moratorium, but it's not a law.

Pre-orders tend to come later than retailers who jump the gun. It's not a new thing. In fact, most device launches follow this pattern. Rather than venting with "shoulda coulda," take it as experience for the next toy you buy. Don't pre-order and get locked into a vendor. Buy when there is actual shipment.

>Your bonus for pre ordering is the play store credit.

Every buyer gets this, not just pre-orders.
[Nexus 7 General] zivan56:
I will most likely be avoiding "pre-orders" in the future. My friend pre-ordered an HTC One X hours after it was listed on the official providers site. They were among the last to get it almost a month after it was available in store (could not cancel).

Same person pre-ordered an Asus Transformer Prime and waiting 2 months to get it from Staples. Had to harrass them daily to finally have a store hold in store stock for them to pick up instead of being shipped direct from the warehouse, otherwise they would have waited even longer.

Pre orders are a joke...
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
One would think that distribution logistics would be figured out well enough in this day and age that the company who has branded their own name on the device would at least have billed and prepared to ship their earliest orders prior to other outlets selling them. Especially considering that cancellations have been shut down since the 8th (possibly earlier) because they're 'too far into the shipping process to cancel'. I ordered during the unveiling at I/O and people in the UK are already playing with theirs and I highly doubt I'll be seeing mine any time soon since there's still no charge for it.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>I will most likely be avoiding "pre-orders" in the future.

That would be rational, which isn't the norm for early adopters. People pre-order because they want to own the toy ASAP, even if it's just "virtual ownership" until it ships. By pre-ordering, I can think of it as "my" toy, and all the fun I will have with it. Without an ownership stake, it's not mine, and I can't have any fun, even if it's just "virtual fun" from the anticipation.

Buying toys is not a rational process.

>the company who has branded their own name on the device would at least have billed and prepared to ship their earliest orders prior to other outlets selling them.

Retailers and wholesalers (volume buyers) always get priority over qty-one shipments. The manufacturer trusts the retailers to sell only at a certain date, but like I said, **** happens, and somebody will usually sell early.
[Nexus 7 General] spoonboy:
You sound like a baby who has thrown her toys out the pram - HTH is Google going to stop 1 retailer from jumping the gun? It's out of their hands.

Does Ebuyer give you £15 of Play Store credit? Didn't think so.
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
From eBuyers Nexus 7 preorder page...

Asus Nexus 7 Tablet PC

- NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core

- 1GB RAM + 16GB Flash

- 7" IPS Touch + Wifi

- Camera + Bluetooth

- Free £15 Google Play Credit

- Android 4.1

...what was that again?
[Nexus 7 General] foxorroxors:
Surely the rational thing to do, when something you have paid for from a company, that cost less has the same added deal and will probably be received earlier from another supplier is to order from them?
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
That might make sense if Google wasn't selling the tablet themselves. Prioritizing stocking shelves all around the country for potential sales over fulfilling orders people have already paid for doesn't seem like a good way to garner a good reputation as a retailer. Especially if you're forcing your buyers to pay a premium (2-day shipping) and refusing to let them cancel their order long before they ship once they figure out they'd be able to save some money by buying locally.
[Nexus 7 General] drpfenderson:
Completely wrong.

It just means "if we run out of units, you a guaranteed one". You and all these other children act so entitled. You were told 2-3 weeks. The 2 weeks just started. You have another 5 days until you can even claim it was late. The vendors were not supposed to ship any units - how is that Google's fault? Big-box retailers typically receive game consoles much earlier than launch. If a store decided to sell them early - how is that the manufacturers' fault again?
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
If stores sell earlier than permitted thats not the stores fault, unless Google didn't clarify when the could sell them, in which case that is Google's fault.

However, with many bricks and mortar stores mostly advertising as available from 19th, except HMV which states 16th, why can't Google be more specific?
[Nexus 7 General] jase33:
I was charged $1 and then that was credited. I was never charged $224 but I was credited from Google for that amount.
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
Of course, the whole situation flat-out ignores that Google was the only place to preorder the N7 until just a few days ago. I think they're the ones that gave off that this was gonna be a first-come, first-serve deal since they were taking all the orders directly. But regardless it's still a kick in the teeth that they force you to forfeit your choice of retailer (or prevent you from saving a bit of money) if you pre-ordered since they stopped allowing cancellations before any retailers even announced they were also selling it.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

My available credit dropped by the exact amount of my Nexus 7 bill with no specified charge listed by my creditor on the 27th. After about a week it disappeared and only 1 dollar was kept. That dollar was released a couple of hours ago, and I now have my full credit available.
[Nexus 7 General] cybrey:
Errm yes they do.
[Nexus 7 General] spoonboy:
I best get cancelling my Google Play order then!
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
You can't. Here's what they tell you...

"Thanks for writing in to Google. I understand you'd like to cancel your

order. Unfortunately, at this point it is no longer possible to cancel

this preorder. Preorder shipment processing on your order has begun, which

means that our shipping provider is moving forward with delivery

preparation."

...and that's in response to a cancellation request on the 8th.
[Nexus 7 General] spoonboy:
Delete cards from Google wallet = no payment method.

no payment method = no shipping.

I hope.

I'm more interested in saving 10 quid than getting it sooner. £199 is psychologically so much better than £208.99

Hey guys, I know it isn't possible to bring your phone to being entirely stock without odin but the big question is:

Can I flash the stock Rogers rom without ODIN? My phone is no longer detectible by any computer because it won't fully connect properly.

I know I can't get rid of CMW but am I able to flash the stock modem and then use the .zip from this link to go back to the stock Rogers rom? I am having two issues with my phone and the guys at the store said if I can at the very least get the phone to look like it is stock from the settings menu then I'm good to get another one haha.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elderduke:
He means Stock 2.1.1. Eclair rom is the best for gaming.

+ 1 to that. I also used a long time stock 2.1.1.C.0.0., enable everything using x8toolbox (it becomes almost like matej's rom) and do not forget to update Busybox to the latest, and SU to 3.1. Surprisingly, stock rom is the only one to support busybox bigger, like 19. The other roms still use old version and they brick if you try to update.

But still, there is another Rom with very good behaviour, and I think slightly better than stock in gaming, even I did not try all games: FroyoPro by Irakkarl. It scores better in Antutu as well, even if 2d is smaller, but the 3d values are close to 500 which is great.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnc7995:
I just can't figure it out. Every Jelly Bean ROM I have used so far has had the same problem. After using the ROM for a few days, and I decide to do a quick reboot to refresh the system, after only a few times doing this ever, the phone will either begin to boot-loop, or most of the time get stuck at the Google logo splash screen. Every time this happens I am forced to open the Toolkit and flash back to stock, and then reflash CWM recovery and install a different ROM and try again. Is it just me that is having this problem? I don't understand how it is so difficult for a ROM developer to create a ROM that can successfully boot up the OS every single time. Someone please give me a straight answer to this, because I can't figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
If you are talking about 4.1 yeah I have noticed all of the ones Ive tried do it, something to do with the way the partitions are handled on jellybean.

It doesn't actually get stuck on the Google screen if you wait it out it'll eventually boot (usually 3+ mins here but I've read can take up to 10 minutes) worst I've had to do is clear the cache not actually reflash the rom. Now the OTA is here for GSM once they build from them instead of the dev version and AOSP they should get better same for CDMA whenever it comes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
So you blame ROM devs?

Wrong way to do this dude....and its you messing up I have been on a jelly bean Rom and have never had a boot loop, I have flashed multiple roms and mods with these roms and have never had a boot loop read the instructions and wipe your cache also don't use reboot apps,,,,, if you want a better Rom take your computer sync your repo and build it from source your self and stop whining
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 'cooleagle':
To be able to learn something first you need to throw the arrogance into the dust bin.

Developing something is not everyone's cup of tea. If you are not happy with a particular ROM keep on trying the others but first give the developers a chance to rectify the bugs by reporting it to them.
