Thought I would post this here for those who are patiently waiting after their pre-orders:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32DD4DF7Qpo

You think it's hard to wait for the Nexus 7? Try opening it. Apparently, the sturdy box and high-grade tape on the Nexus 7 make it perhaps too challenging! Watching these videos on YouTube made me smile, so I decided to put them together; shake-n-bake included. Hope it makes you smile too.
[Nexus 7 General] Eagle1337:
And people made fun of some users here because they couldn't open it.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
This is how professionals unbox
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Good for a laugh. I'll make sure to have a weapon handy for mine.

Never really understood unboxing videos anyways. Things come in a box that they are taken out of, how interesting.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>Never really understood unboxing videos anyways

I take it you've never fondled your GI Joe blister pack when you were a kid...
[Nexus 7 General] wind784:
Hahaha good laugh from that. Now I'm prepared for when mine arrives!
[Nexus 7 General] HaiKaiDo:
Ill just leave this....right over here *whistles*
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
It seems my parents were too cheap to buy me toys like that. I mostly remember playing with those little plastic molded army men, cheap marbles, rocks and dirt.

Anyways I do enjoy taking my toys out of the box, but why spoil some of the fun by watching other people do it first?
[Nexus 7 General] Troute:
Brightened up my morning, thanks :)

Makes you wonder though, what kind of dimwit films an unboxing with nothing to cut the tape and then posts it for the world to see?!
[Nexus 7 General] stuntdouble:
I'll probably be the only one but I just found it tragic more than funny. Seems to be more tools in this world than I thought possible. Flummoxed by a couple of tiny pieces of sellotape, and then they top it off by showing that clip of themselves being useless to the whole world on youtube. Crazy. On the plus side at least your video was well made. Thanks for sharing. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
If you're getting one, wait til you try to open it

I was actually featured in that montage, which I thought was hilarious. If you get one, you'll see, it is not the easiest box to open. Those of you might have better luck, knowing the trouble it is to open it, but honestly, no one would have expected it to be as difficult as it was. The one guy is right. Google and Asus didn't play when it came to packaging the Nexus. Great Video.
[Nexus 7 General] stuntdouble:
Yeah I've got one and it was easy to open once you slash the bits of tape. Maybe you earlier model people had different packaging or something but I doubt it. Its the same with just about any product you buy nowadays. There's always tape somewhere, with a bit of a suction effect upon opening. Anyways once you finally got into your box I'm sure you were pleasantly surprised by the tablet goodness. Great device. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] sc4fpse:
And here I was thinking I was the only one having trouble opening the dark thing. I was wedging a spatula in between the two parts of the sliding box trying to separate the thing. I had already waited all day after I bought it before I had a chance to open it up and play with it, and the 10 minutes that it took to open the box once I got a free moment were aggravating, to say the least.
[Nexus 7 General] mwalt2:
It was a PITA to open. I thought about just ripping the cardboard more than once.
[Nexus 7 General] K1LLER HORNET:
loooooooooooooooooooooool
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
Oh yes, it was definitely worth the hassle.
[Nexus 7 General] Matt1408:
A friend linked me this video today. I had a good laugh. I can't wait to take the unboxing challenge myself.
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
maybe this is why all the shipments were delayed, they are redesigning the box so people can get it out!
[Nexus 7 General] Pittoreski:
Challenge accepted.
[Nexus 7 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Priceless video. Thanks, great for a laugh.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
The GPS on my Nexus 7 is acting funky. I'm in Florida, and all of my apps are saying I'm in Vegas. Sometimes it'll show my correct location, but then it'll change back to saying I'm in Vegas. This is happening with Google maps, HD widgets, flixster, etc.. It's quite annoying. I haven't done anything to my N7 except unlock the bootloader, but it was doing it out of the box before that. What the French toast!? Anyone else having this happen? My GNex is fine with the same apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
I tested mine to see if it would tell me where radio shack was. It worked and navigated good. It even told me the driving time to 3 of the nearest stores and traffic reports lol pretty crazy. I'd send it back for a replacement.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
Man, I just went to Sam's Club to exchange it. Got home, set it up, and my apps (google maps, HD widgets, google now) are showing Vegas still instead of my city in Florida. Ugh!!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynoir:
Are you sure you're not in Vegas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
Haha. Would be nice, but I'm not ;) Could it be WiFi related? It seems that when I turn WiFi off, I shows my correct location in Florida and not Vegas. I don't know how/why the WiFi would interfere but not it's correct.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynoir:
Did you check at the store or at home? Can you drive a few miles away and see if anything changes? Just a shot in a dark, but I work with address mapping online and sometimes for some reason the address for a certain location is totally wrong.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
With my original N7 and the new one that I exchanged for, I checked at home, and I haven't tried it anywhere besides at home. If I drive somewhere, I guess I would have to find a place with Wifi. I have a GNex, and it doesn't have the issue. It always shows the correct location. Not too long ago, I disconnected from WiFi on the N7 and it shows the correct location. So I don't know if WiFi is the culprit for some bizarre reason.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caliyork:
Download the map of your city and take a little drive. See if your GPS acts up away from. You can make sections of a map available offline in the Google maps menu.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
Does this issue happen if you turn off wifi and enable GPS? Reason I ask is I remember Google Latitude acting super strange when I was using the wifi for it to determine my location when I was at my girlfriend's house. For a while it said I was in New York City, other times it said I was within PA but I was about 30 miles away. At one point it said I was in Africa somewhere.

All of the wireless towers (3G, 4G, etc) have ID's to them, so based on the ID that gets reported to the carrier is what dictates where on the map you are. That said, wireless access points aren't typically in the database to determine your location, so it uses some other sort of wacky way to determine your location, but like I said, Google Latitude was acting up. I remember hitting "improve my location" within the app and letting it run overnight to see if it could better determine my location. Oddly, I never had a chance to see if it fixed it, because the next morning our bid was accepted on a house so we ended up worrying about packing rather than did my phone work better. I just wanted to throw the above on the table just in case... turn off wifi... try GPS... see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
Yeah, I mentioned somewhere in the thread that if I turn off WiFi, it seems to work fine. GPS is always on with it anyway. Either way, it should be able to pinpoint me. What's the point of the N7 if you can't keep WiFi on? Having both WiFi and GPS on should be able to find my location. I haven't really seen anyone else with this issue in trying to google it. It's just weird though because my GNex works perfect at home. And I can't get the N7 tablet to get the right location? Just odd.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkish.KMZ:
Location on Google Voice Search

I'm in Lethbridge Alberta. ( Canada) Mine works fine in location and latitude... also Google Now works (when its giving me weather changes in the morning)

However, as soon as I ask Google Search "what's the weather like today", it tells me the weather for Washington and its driving me up the wall. Anybody else in Canada having the Same issues?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
I believe there is a setting somewhere that has a check box "use Wi-Fi to determine my position". You need to find it and un-check the box. I would venture a guess that your internet service provider has a hub in Vegas and your outside IP address is registered through that facility.

Edit: turn Google Location Services OFF... Settings>>Location Services
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjj1976:
Mine is showing Vegas also, oh I am in Vegas. :-)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dru858:
It's probably due to the MAC address of the wireless router(s) your Nexus 7 is seeing. My parents live in Oregon and my step-mom works for a company based in San Diego. They sent her a remote access point to telecommute with and while I was visiting last year my Atrix would see me as being in Oregon when I was in view of a GPS satellite but otherwise, when it could only rely on WiFi for determining my location, it would see me in San Diego due to the remote access point having been in San Diego previously. So... don't worry about it! Your router/modem/whatever or your neighbor's may have been in Vegas previously at some other person's house.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:
Android Location Services periodically checks on your location using GPS, Cell-ID, and Wi-Fi to locate your device. When it does this, your Android device will send back publicly broadcast Wi-Fi access points' Service set identifier (SSID) and Media Access Control (MAC) data. The Google street car does this sort of thing too; collects Wi-Fi access points' data and MAC addresses, then associates them with their GPS location data.

What this means simply is that Google knows where you are when you are connected to an SSID they have previously collected location data on. For whatever reason, Google's data regarding your SSID is that it's location is somewhere in Vegas. I imagine this to be something that would remedy itself in time, though I'm not sure what the quick fix is. Maybe if you go in and out of range of your router with GPS on, the association will reset with the new location data? Are you set up to send anonymous location data back to Google?

There's nothing wrong with your GPS though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
Thanks everyone for the feedback. These last couple replies seem logical. When I turn off Google location services, my GPS works fine. What stinks is that, Google location services is required for Google Now. Has to be something with my Wifi router.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkish.KMZ:
I don't think this is the problem because I've tried, my phone (Rogers, originally registered in Calgary) as a hot spot, my house, my friends house, my work's wifi. All of these respond to any Non-location-specified operation to Washington. i.e. If i asked what time it was, it will give me washington's time. Same with weather, Washington weather. Im living in Canada. Is this a Canada specific problem maybe?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caffinatedone:
Nope, I'm having the same issue and I'm in the US. With "Google location services" and enabled, mine jumps back and forth between my actual location and the main floor of the "ny, ny" casino in Vegas. I have 3 other Android devices sitting near me that have never had an issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
Yep, that's why I started this thread. Mine says I'm in the "NY,NY" casino in Vegas as well, and I'm in Florida.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat1202:
I guess I'm confused about this because I have both my N7 and GNex connected to my wireless router at home. I've had my GNex since it came out and have not had this issue with it. My router only has one SSID, right? And both of my devices are connected to it with only the N7 having the issue. And again it's only when "Google Location Services" is checked. It stinks to have to turn it off because "Google Now" requires it to be checked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
I just wanna thank everybody here at this forum for their great support.

Also I wanna say goodbye to this section. I won't be so active here any more because I changed my phone to a neo v.

If anyone from Germany or near Germany has got interest to buy a Sony Ericsson lww please be free and contact me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krallure:
You are not satisfied with the LWW or you selling another phone? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
No. I am satisfied with the phone. It's a fantastic phone. Now after using it a longer time I got out that the screen dimension and the resolution is a little to small.

I was able to get the neo v only 3 month old in top conditions for 120 €. So I took the chance and bought it.

No I have no other phone to sell, only the lww.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
How is ur experience after using LWW walkman then went for Neo v which one is batter. dont want to know abt screen coz neo v have high res and also big in size.. talk abt other factors like Camera,Gaming performance on ICS, And ICS experience on Neo V?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
I will try to describe it but my English isn't that good. I hope you will understand what I try to say.

As you already said the neo v is one class higher. When you hold the phone in your hands you can fell and see it. Fell it because you have got a bigger phone in your hands. See at because the neo v uses materials that look better. No trist black like the lww. The phone I bought is the blue gradient. The phone housing changes his color from black to dark blue depending on the angle you look at it. It's really nice and fantastic.

The chrome parts on the left and right side of the neo v look nice and gives a felling of a higher phone class. The bigger screen size and higher screen resolution also puts you to a higher class.

The phone is already running android 4.0.4.

The neo v has got the same CPU and gpu like the lww. So the ics on the neo v runs as smooth as on the lww. I have notice some small visual changes between both ics on the phone. The widget selection for example on lww and neo v has got a different look.

That's all I can say at the moment. I could only take a look at the phone yesterday evening (sunday). For the next few days I am not at home because of my work. That's the reason I am still using my "old" lww.

I didn't regret buying the neo v.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sepharite:
Is there a way to have, say, multiple Gallery.apk, all being individual applications that can be opened? But not default apks, an apk that I downloaded from the Playstore.

On that note, where can I find my apks that I downloaded from the Playstore?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SachinShekhar:
Play Store standards don't allow two packages having same names, but yes.. there's a possibility that they can clash with apps installed from other sources (like pre-installed apps, manually installed apps etc). But, its worth remembering that APKs downloaded from Play Store aren't launch-able. They can only be used to install apps. So, there's no use of such things.

You can find APKs downloaded from Play Store at /data/app. You can fetch them using Backup feature of Astro File Manager (there are many other apps for this job). You can use ROM Toolbox Pro, too. It can backup up APK instantly after an app is installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prodigyX:
For some reason, this seems to be really low on devs' priorities lists..

Awesome! I'm kind of a noob, how could i apply that without flashing it then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moose0704:
You and I both, I used the tool from this thread to push it back to my phone:

TickleMyAndroid

You have to put that file in the out folder then prepare it for push then push it to the phone, you have to boot into recover and mount the internal card then push and reboot, its really easy with that tool, and tonight was the firat time I have ever used it lol so trust me it is easy ;)

After a day of trying i couldnt get that app to work haha, i hope someone is able to make a flashable zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrew345:
A flashable zip. Would be very nice, I too have a mild ocd and the lock screen not being centered bothers the hell out of me..=/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Just create a zipthemer package. The edits should work on any ROM. If someone reups the framework then I will make one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrew345:
SlimBean ROM Made an update not so long ago that fixes the lockscreen in 240 DPI. The ROM uses that DPI on bootup so there's no need to change it.

The update also fixes the incoming call animation as well by centering it just like the lock screen. Only thing that I see that isn't centered is the Google now popup when holding down the home button. But other than that, lock screen and incoming calls have been centered.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Esoteric68:
I have a brand new SGSIII, it was purchased using my son's upgrade and activated on his account for the requisite 24hours before he switched back to his old phone. I activated it on my account and used it for about a week before swapping out last night to try the Galaxy Nexus.

Tonight I decided to sell the Nexus and return to the SGSIII but when I tried to activate it the Sprint website told me it was already activated. I figured surely this was a mistake but thought since it was, in the past 24hrs, on my account maybe all I had to do was update PRL/profile and go back to using it.

So I did that and it turns out that someone else's phone number and information is in my phone! How could this possibly happen, the phone hasn't left my sight since we got it in the mail. Of course it's too late tonight to call and find the answers. (isn't it already morning in one of their call center locations?)

I've never had this happen, could someone at Sprint have stolen and sold the DEC number to another person? Turns out the number that it's showing is a New York City area code/exchange.

(my apologies if this should've gone in Q&A)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] quick99si:
It looks like someone got a hold of your meid and activated it on their account or possibly did an "meid repair" on another phone. In the case of the latter, they may potentially file an insurance claim to get a new GS3 therefore blacklisting yours.

Maybe it's time to find out who activated the phone by following up with the number on your phone; or maybe look into your son's phone for that number (may be a friend of his).

If you haven't already, do NOT make or receive calls on the GS3. Doing so at least once will allow the thief to file a fraudulent insurance claim. Good luck.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Esoteric68:
Too late I'm afraid, someone called the phone (a friend of his) however I have my Sprint receipt with the DEC number on it showing that we legally purchased the phone, also a quick check of history will show that I was using the phone up to late Saturday night and then tried to re-activate it tonight, which isn't near enough time for me to have sent the phone from Alabama to New York and gotten it back again.

I'll be at Sprint first thing in the morning with my receipt, box it came in (with shipping info), phone box and phone. Hopefully it can be straightened out before anyone scams Sprint, or me.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] House M.D.:
that is kinda suck!

please keep us posted
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] quick99si:
At this point, I suggest that you not be hesitant to involve law enforcement in the event that Sprint is unable to help.
