Picked mine up today, no problems with using the £10 offer for creating a new account. I used the saved tenner to order one of the luvtab cases from eBay.

I like it a lot so far as my first tablet, I haven't seen any of the problems talked about on my device. As soon as CyanogenMod is ready for it I'll be flashing!
[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Why ? Just stick it on eBay for the kerching :)
[Nexus 7 General] ben83s:
the £10 off works, just got mine.

if i dont like it i can just move it on on ebay :D
[Nexus 7 General] asdasd89:
Can't check if my order is ok or dispached. :(

I can't enter in "My account" section. Everytime i try to get in i got redirected to the sign in screen. Is this happening to you either?

:confused:
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
Ordered mine from tesco a few hours ago with the £10 discount voucher (that has no exclusions listed).

Still no confirmation email... I called them and they said they are having problems with their systems.

So no idea if they really have stock or if I can collect my order tomorrow, or if they will even honour that voucher.

My order does show up in the "my account" section of the tesco website though....
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
Looks like some of the discount codes are not working. The YouTube link given in the original post has been updated with new code and link to the thread on hukd forum where new codes are frequently posted. Also register for stock alert as stock is updated at five thirty am add that's when the emails are sent in my experience. Do that add stocks are limited from what I gathered do that you can buy add soon add new stocks are released. For example stock of about 700 ran out in a few hours. I myself could not buy a second one with the twenty pound code on day one. But another 15 pound code seemed to work for some add posted on hukd forums linked to in the YouTube playlist mentioned on the first post of this thread. Hope this helps a couple get the discount.
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
My order has now moved from "created" to "partially confirmed" still no confirmation email though
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
register for alert on Tesco website. stock seems to run out early in the day and buy early in the day as stock alert email is sent at five thirty am

Don't forget the quidco or topcashback websites for referrals to Tesco to get 3 or 5 % cash back
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
Early developer build of Cyanogen mod are already shown on YouTube playlist linked in first post. That playlist is regularly updated. A second playlist has been also created to fill with new stuff related to this device. See http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL07BDA26279B1EAF6 where some new codes are mentioned along with other useful stuff like tvcatchup and flash and bbciplayer, Google music etc and also other playlist here http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname?client=mv-google
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
try this before this expires too!

code TDXR-KFJM and get £15 off

you cant use the same account twice for using these codes and might need to register a new account at tesco. dont use the same clubcard for both accounts as will get rejected.
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
For those interested I tried that £15 voucher before ordering mine yesterday at 1pm, it didn't work. The only voucher that works is the £10 one (that says its for new customers only but I was a returning customer and it still worked).

Tesco was also having issues with their email system yesterday so orders placed should be good you just will not receive a confirmation email.

I aim to collect mine from store today after work, I hope they don't refuse to give it to me because I have no email.... thank god for the Tesco app ey :)
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
See http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asu...or-home-delivery-1268750?page=63#post15094626

Where it says the person for the 15 pound discount yesterday. Plus others have got. topcashback or quidco etc.
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
maybe the £15 voucher only works for new customers then, it said that "this voucher is not valid for this item" when I tried it.
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
If you open a new Tesco account with new email address then you can use the same codes again but not if you link Same club card.
[Nexus 7 General] flipper411:
I posted this in another thread as well, but JLP now have online stock with a free 2 year warranty:

http://www.johnlewis.com/231699378/Product.aspx

Might be a better choice then saving a tenner at Tesco's??
[Nexus 7 General] Kumnaa:
I don't know if I've just been unlucky but my first two Nexus from Tescos have had the left hand screen lift. I'm awaiting my third attempt today :(
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
I would hazard a guess that you have just been unlucky, I know quite a few people who ordered from tesco and have had no issues.

I collect mine after work tonight.
[Nexus 7 General] jezebabe:
Bad screen

Well it turns out I needed another Nexus 7 ;) in addition to the one I got from Currys (which is fine btw). So I decided to give Tesco another try as they were shown in stock on their website on Friday. The only code that worked for me was the £10 off but I am happy with that :good:

It arrived at my local store today. The bad news is that the screen is no good :crying: Very grey looking as if the backlight is set too high with ghosting icons and washed out colours etc. Anyway I phoned Tesco and they have arranged a doorstep swapout on Wednesday (Yodel deliver a new one and collect the old one at the same time). :fingers-crossed:

Jez
[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
LMAO Make sure the driver has some paperwork for the collection.

Mine didn't, neither did another poster's driver.
[Nexus 7 General] jezebabe:
Interesting, so what did you do?

Thanks

Jez
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
This might get you a bonus of 15 pounds. You will get another voucher for apps if you register with another account. Then switch accounts as shown in the first video of the how to play list in this link. Many have got the extra voucher from Google this way.See http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname?client=mv-google

See the first video (for now!) On the "how to" play list. I say for now as the play lists are frequently updated. Or see the direct link http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=99ISqBhLVv0
[Nexus 7 General] jezebabe:
Interesting video, thanks very much for the information.

Jez
[Nexus 7 General] jezebabe:
Got the replacement N7 today; perfect :) Yodel guy didn't know anything about collecting the faulty one though! Not sure what to do with it now.

Thanks bubbles money that how to video did the trick ;)

Picking my tablet up tomorrow from Tesco (Hopefully it gets delivered on time anyway). Went through TopCashBack and used a £10 off code. The £189 has been taken from my account but it doesn't look as though the cashback has tracked through TCB. Anyone else find this?
[Nexus 7 General] FTMDan:
It asked me to print the email out when going to the store to pick it up but my printer has ran out of ink at the most inconvenient of times. Can I just give them the order number instead?
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
That's all I ever do when picking stuff up from tesco, I didn't even have a confirmation email for my n7,just the number from the website
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rd-Target:
Hi everyone

I've been the happy owner of an O4X for a month or so, and today my wife bought an Samsung galaxy S3 and I thought I would try out some NFC transferring. Transferring contacts between the phones works fine, but when I tried transferring images through the gallery, it couldn't. When both phones are in the gallery, and they are put back-to-back, the GS3 prompts to tap the screen to transfer the image. When I try that, the O4X just opens a notification stating that a new NFC tag was found. Also, the O4X does not have the options to transfer images from the gallery.

So I suspect that one of the following to be the barrier; either the O4X doesn't support image transferring at all, or the gallery app on O4X doesn't support image transferring (via NFC of course).

I'm all new to this NFC thing (as most properly are :-)), so does anyone have some inputs to this subject? I'm hoping it could be solved, simply by installing another gallery app.

Best regards,

Morten Jensen
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rd-Target:
Well, after doing some research, I found out that file transfer isn't supported until JB. The S3 does have S beam which allows file transfer over wifi though.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hodemir:
Hi,

What is jb stands for?

Also we have both lg 4x and sgs3, and i tried a lot to send a file using wifi direct, but i couldnt accept any file from lg4x. It is also interesting that lg4x does nort share file via wifidirect but sgs3 does at least.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rd-Target:
JB stands for Jelly Bean, which is the codename for the newest Android version (4.1). I guess that LG and Samsung solved the problem in to different ways, which isn't compatible.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] epdm2be:
Is NFC useless?

So in reality NFC is useless.

Great, thought it was a standard!

NFC to pair, bluetooth to send over the pics. But aparantly Samsung uses wifi as transfer medium instead of bluetooth. Has anyone tried with a Nokia 701/C7-00/808 which uses the standard NFC-to-pair-BT-to-send mechanism? Or another 4XHD? Or any other (non Samsung) Android device with NFC?

If it ONLY can be used with these lousy stickers then it's just useless crap.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
Well Sending links and Youtube Videos is quite cool.

Also I guess there is a way how it's implemented in AOSP so that's standard then. Just wait untill everybody got cyanogenmod...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] G@vi:
In LG we can download Wi Fi cast App from LG world by this we can transfer files through Wi-Fi.

@NFC

The maximum data transfer rate of NFC is 424 kbit/s. It will take so much time to transfer big files...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] optimuswhite:
I thought NFC only for send/receive trigger/address/device ID signal.

I have installed the wificast app both in sgs3 and lg4x, it is working very well. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
Hi all - having a problem with my Samsung account on my s3. When I try to add the account on the s3 it keeps coming back with processing failed. I want to use Samsung dive etc so I need it to be able to login. It is the correct password as when I deliberately put in an incorrect password it says wrong password but this just keeps saying processing failed. I thought something might be wrong as I went to the Samsung dive webpage and tried to track the phone but it just didn't do anything and came back with a message in Korean! This worked when I first got it. Anyone any ideas? I am rooted if this makes any difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
Hello guys,

I've recently switched from O2UK to Orange UK. So far it's been an ok deal, and I wanted to share some things I've learnt and hopefully some questions answered.

Now i'll be honest I got a good deal,

O2

18mth

600 mins

1200 text

1gb data

£46mth

Orange

24mth

Unlimited mins

Unlimited text

2gb data

£41

However i've had some issues;

First my Data speeds were capped to 1.8 meg. regardless of E/3G/H/H+ always 1.8meg. I researched this problem, somne said it was being on T-Mobile signal, however after some further investigation, I have found out about GPRS Premium, it's a service for the iPhone users supposedly, but after having this instated i'm now able to reach 4.9meg. So if your speeds seem poor phone CS and ask for GPRS Premium on your account. It's free so there is no reason for them to not added it nor will it cost you.

Brings me to my first question, while a bit of a wide one, what sort of speeds should I expect from Orange? When on O2 I managed to hit 6.2meg. Have you guys found any Modems that work with Orange particularly well? as I find the signal is okish, but O2 was a good 4-5 bar signal.

Now i'm on Panther Extra 41, and get a free swappable, any advise from anyone who added one and how good they are

The only two I like is the Mobile TV and Dezzer Music. however i'm not sure which to choose.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mubble:
I get 1.87 meg download (just tested it) on Orange. Sometimes I get 2.5meg but rarely. Hurry up 4g.

Coming back to your "good deal", how many minutes and texts do you use a month? Do you really need unlimited and to pay so much each month? For example, I pay £19 month and get 800 minutes, 1000 texts and 1gb data. Thirteen hours of calls a month and 35 texts a day is more than enough for me. Just never heard someone paying £41 a month calling it a good deal. (But then again I'm not a new customer)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
I use over a 1gb data a month, that is my reasoning, plus magic numbers for GF to me are always extremely useful.

Appreciated £40 isn't cheap but it's better than my O2 contract.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
F***.... I'm happy I live in a country where 45 Euro/month gives me a flatrate not some capped plan.

2GB is what I usually use in less than a week of normal usage, or when playing around with new ROM's within 2-3 days.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
You were had.

I used to be with Orange but there are a few things I have issues with them:

Their prices are atrocious. For £33 a month (£29 for the phone) on Three I have:

2,000 minutes (UK to UK, landland, mobile, etc)

5,000 Three-to-Three minutes

3,000 Texts

Unlimited data (2Mbps+)

On Orange I paid £30pm for

300 minutes

500MB data

Unlimited texts

Now, I won't be using anything near those number of minutes and stuff on my new contract, but I will hammer the living **** out of that unlimited data, it was £32 for 500 mins, 5000 texts unlimited data, or £33 for that, plus tethering free) no brainer.

They rip you off on upgrades and the likes. For instance, last time I called to upgrade they were offering the HTC Desire for £25pm Free on a similar contract to myself. When I called to upgrade the "best" they could do is drop £5 off my bill and make me pay £50 for the phone. I effectively got it for £25pm, but had to pay, whereas "new customers" got the phone free.

That £5 a month they knocked off my bill? First it lasted 18 months of a 27 month contract, then they, after arguing the **** with me, upped it to 24 months. After that they flat out refused to help me. I called to buy out of my final two months the other day and their retentions team were pulling out all the stops to get me to sign. I told them I wanted a Galaxy S3 for £25 and they're like "yeah that's gonna cost you £199.99 for the same package with 500mb data" so I told them to go forth and multiply and got my data package with Three (unlimited, good fecking bye 500mb data cap and overage charges).

Finally, 250mb, 500mb, 750mb, 1GB and 2GB data caps? Get out. Unlimited like Everything Everywhere's other company, T-Mobile, or get out.

I had a good run with Orange for 5 years but their ****ty customer service, prices and packages put me off.

The only GOOD thing about Orange was OrangeCare insurance. £6pm and £15 excess.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
I wouldn't say you got a good deal, on three I get 2000 minutes, 5000 three to three minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited data for £34/month the unlimited data is what makes it worth it, and I will never use that many minutes and text.

Edit: my data usage is currently at 1.86GB from 14th to 19th July, so if I was on a 2GB plan I would be paying very soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
Well if you say so guys,

Three is a waste of space where I live, unlimited maybe but poor signal, and when it's good it's capped. If it works for your good though, but here its crap.

T-Mobile nah after there throttling, and diabolical service I just couldn't do it.

Basically it was O2 or Orange, and Orange was better. Anyways you got any idea about Basebands/Modems?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Orange's customer service suck. I was with them for 5 years and they just suck.

And yeah, 1.09GB used since the 17th. 2 days. I had a 500MB cap with Orange. I get 2.5Mbps (which is the same as I got on Orange, and 0.5Mbps more than my landline broadband lol) down and 1.5Mbps up means I'm using this as my PC internet now when everyone else is playing games on their computers (Castleville destroys our 2mbps internet).

I've no idea about modem firmwares, but I can safely say Orange suck for customer service.

And sorry to thread crap a little bit but I'm still a bit pissed at my recent dealings with them. Good luck with your new baby :D I'm loving mine!

After Galaxy Nexus and Razr I don´t see any company announcing that they are going to use their chips.
[General Questions and Answers] renw0rp:
Thats true that OMAP 4430/4460 (1.0 / 1.5Ghz respectively) with SGX540 are behind, especially behind Qualcomm S4 and quad-core Exynos. They were also supposed to release OMAP 4470 (1.8GHz) with SGX544 but I haven't seen it used in any device.

I'm not sure here, but I think that OMAP's don't feature wireless radio technologies, so phone manufacturesrs have to add additional chips what raises the cost.

TI annonced OMAP 5 long time ago, but I don't know what is the progress. OMAP 5 is suppsoed to have dualcore A15 ("Up to 2GHz") + dualcore M4 and SGX544-MPx.
[General Questions and Answers] vx117:
Well TI is going to release the OMAP 5 soon. One of the pros of this processor is that it is easily customizable, and thats why it's used in the Galaxy Nexus. So who knows? OMAP 5 may appear in the next series of Nexus phones.
[General Questions and Answers] skells:
Yeah idk, this year has been dominated by qualcomm (i hope thats right) and exynos (in the GS3 international) but that is true, Ti seems unusually absent this year.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
They are making the Omap 5. 28nm tech has loads of problems,especially high spoilt counts at the factory. Qualcomm are actually switching factories cause of this. TI have stable chips at relatively lower cost. When it's ready you'll see it everywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] hOtttBRA:
Texas Instruments withdraws from smartphones

Texas Instruments is dropping from the system-on-chip for smartphones and tablets manufacturing and will give up on its OMAP lineup.

The company’s OMAP boards are less and less popular among mobile manufacturers – most of them bet on Qualcomm, while Samsung and Apple are developing their own solutions (Exynos, A6). The major disadvantage of the OMAP chipset is the lack of on-board 3G/4G modem.

That forces manufacturers who rely on OMAP chipsets to use additional radio chips, which increases battery consumption and production costs. Now you understand why smartphone manufacturers prefer Qualcomm’s complete solutions, rather than this expensive process.

TI says its focus will shift on “to a broader market including industrial clients like carmakers”, though it did not announce specifics and the investors were left wondering.

Anyway, TI will continue to support its current clients, but will significantly reduce efforts on developing new OMAP chipsets.

The news might come shocking for some, as the TI OMAP 5 was expected to be the first chipset with dual Cortex-A15 CPU, and now it's fate is uncertain. Nonetheless, TI OMAP's presence was barely felt on the market, so the company's exit won't create too much of a disturbance.

hey guys :)

in the last couple of weeks ive flashed about 5 roms which consider to be good.

i have to say I really like android but one issue keeps me frustrated

and thats battery life.

how can it be that my friends iphone battery lasts so much more then my galaxy s1?

ive gone through numeros guides decreased brightness to minimum

stopped syncing my gmail account and other stuff as well.

as time goes by im regreting not buying iphone when i had the chance

because battery is one of the most important things in a smartphone.

currently,

i am 25 years old student studying computer science in the university

which means im out most of the day.

its not that rare for me to be stuck without battery and its so frustrating.

i ask for your help please,

what is the best rom for s1 regarding battery life

and has hebrew on it?

(im from israel)

thanks alot mates! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueFlame4:
Have you ever calibrated it after flashing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biotech326:
yes man everytime after flashing a new rom im calibarating when reaches 100

let it drops to 0 and turn off

then charging to 100 again.

i just want my battery to last hehe :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donhashem.dh:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueFlame4:
Dropping to 0% is the worst thing a LI-ION battery can experience.

There are some calibrations methods around, you can try some apps but I think you ROM just needs some time to calibrate the battery sign. Are you running a zillion of apps in the background?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkdog10:
Another option is to buy a new battery with more power. stock battery has 1500mah. but you can get a battery with 1800mah for your s1.

Did you wipe battery stats in cwm?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HdX75:
Disable mobile data or switch to 2G only it helps a lot. Phone will drain battery if you have a bad signal
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramrod421:
I have to second the disable the data connection recommend. Also your battery life will get better the longer you use a rom and the more charge/discharge cycles your battery sees. To be clear that does not mean 100%-0% every time just regular charging.

I'm personally on GB and with data disconnected for most of the day and the 1800mah battery I have been on the same charge for almost a week and still have 30% left. It's truly amazing!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FjarrKontroll:
Dropping below the minimum voltage is what you're talking about, and that's not possible because of the controller on each battery. That's why the phone dies when it hits 0% (or thereabouts) even though it still has plenty of power left over to run the device. Running a full cycle on the battery will be just fine.
