[Nexus 10 General] Harfainx:
The 16GB is still showing as in stock here in the US. With the price you were going to pay (399.98 GBP,) it is way more expensive where you are than here. That price comes out to $633.65 USD.

Could you try accessing the US Play store web page and buying it from there and having it ship over the pond to you? Also I'm not sure if there are any differences from the US version to the EU version.

I'm not sure how trusting you are, but if you still can't get your hands on one and would be comfortable with the 16GB one... Maybe we can work something out to where I purchase it and send it your way (it cost me $413 USD to get mine shipped two day shipping to me.) That would only be about 261 GBP, plus whatever the cost is for shipping to you. If you want to PM me your address, I can stop by UPS tomorrow to get an estimate for you (I happen to pass one on the way to work.)

I wouldn't be looking to make money, I would only want to collect the amount that it costs me to buy and ship it. Let me know what you think.
[Nexus 10 General] Araam Abdal:
Thanks Harfainx, I've tried to get on to the US website and ship it over to no avail. The kindness you show still gives me hope that I may still see a nexus 10 before the year is out. I was hoping to get the 32GB version but beggers cannot be choosers as the saying goes. I have sent you a PM and your assistance is very much appreciated.
[Nexus 10 General] drcujo:
Personally I think you are blowing this way out of proportion. After reading threads like these I feel sorry for everyone who works at google.

You are saying you are going to refer google to your financial regulator because your bank declined your credit card purchase? You should call your bank, find out why they thought it was fraudulent, and then re-purchase when you can.

You aren't out any money. The problem is with your bank anyway. There isn't anything google can do. If you really have a bone to pick, call your bank and complain. They will probably give you the reason it was declined.

Looks like you are stuck finding it in a store, buying it off google when it comes back in stock, or finding one somewhere else online. If you want one before the end of the year, I would be very very surprised if the N10 stays out of stock for long. When I tried to buy the N7, it was out of stock shortly after release and I managed to order one within a week of release.
[Nexus 10 General] johno86:
You guys need to relax. This that, I'm going to buy an iPad, this that some more. Really? Is this community filled with impatient internet lawyers?

Mine still says pending but there's a thing called patience. If you've placed an order it will come eventually. If you haven't - wait until it's available to purchase again.

No one could have predicted that THIS many people wanted the Nexus 10. Especially given how little advertisement of it there was. If you've paid for your tablet, it'll get to you eventually. Google can't take your money and not deliver a product. So just be patient...it's only been, what, 36 hours since the launch and people are behaving like it's been 2 months since they've ordered this device and they're being given the runaround; which isn't the case.

Good luck everyone.
[Nexus 10 General] Araam Abdal:
If you read my actual post I stated very clearly I spoke to my bank, my bone that you like to talk about is with the fact that the mislead me, the fact that they cancelled my order within minutes not the hours that other people got, the fact that in their guidelines it clearly states not to duplicate orders, and because i followed this it resulted in me not having a tablet.

Sorry you feel I'm being harsh but my bank cleared the mess up in minutes where as Google keep spinning me lies.
[Nexus 10 General] nytemare69:
I, like you, also made multiple attempts to purchase the Nexus 10 through Google Play the morning of November 13th. Finally, after multiple attempts from my Razr Max, I picked up with my wifes iphone and was able to have order completed. Five minutes prior to attending a funeral, I get a call from an unfamiliar 800 number which I let go to voicemail. With two minutes left, I listen to voicemail...hear the words--your bank...fraud, and I immediately back out of google voice and call the 800 number back. I get a voice prompt stating possible fraud activiity is suspected on my account and to prove otherwise, I will need to verify the last two purchases, one from google and another made the night before. I confirmed the two purchases, hung up, and raced into the chapel to bid my farewells.

Shortly after the service, I cheched my phone and had received confirmation from google wallert that my order had gone through. I've not checked for shipping and am merely holding out for shipping date of Nov 15th. I waited from Nov 2011 to February 2012 to get my TF201...3-4 days for Nexus 10 is a cakewalk.

Google does debit a small amount from all acc****s upon order. I suspect this was attempted on your account, and for what ever reason, your bank would not allow the charge, thus google cancelled the order entirely. I know it sucks and I wish you could enjoy your new pad this weekend, but it's not googles fault that your bank..or even mine for that matter..has its protective policies in place. Google merely answered the market when it couldn't sell to you. It cancelled your order and gave it to someone else.

You will get your 10 someday soon
[Nexus 10 General] James-NC:
Sorry you had trouble but stuff happens at times.

The playstore here still have them and the stores will have them soon too.You will have no problem getting one in a few days from somewhere.I don't think there will be a shortage of these available like the N7 was at launch.With it being much more costly they are not going to fly off shelves like the cheaper tabs.
[Nexus 10 General] Araam Abdal:
Appreciate the feedback about patience.

What I don't understand is why I'm being messed around by Google, one person says one thing, then another person says something else, its not really a surprise that stores don't know what/when the will be getting the nexus 10.

I know many of you will jump to Googles defence, but when a Manager puts the phone down just because you ask for his surname then it begs the question, what are they hiding?

I'm guessing the provided apk is modded as suggested by that link, and the db file is auto generated on reboot with the required columns (or reinstalling the fb app does it).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joelinit:
Worked for me too, I think!

I'm using SentinelROM 4.75 which didn't like me deleting "root//data/data/com.android.provider.contacts/databases/contacts2.db", and subsequently wouldn't reboot?! However, leaving the contacts2.db file in its place and just copying "ContactsProvider.apk" to "root//system/app" and changing the permissions seems to have done the trick.

Any idea if I'm making a big mistake by leaving the contacts2.db file where it is?

And yep, would be great to have higher res photos, but it's a lot better than nothing, so big thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevdliu:
Hello everyone,

Now with Android 4.2, the user can put widgets on the lockscreen. However as of right now only a few system apps widgets are available. I searched around and found that any app can add lockscreen widget support by adding "android:widgetCategory=”keyguard|home_screen" to their AppWidgetProviderInfo Metadata xml file.

I have edited xml files in APKs before using apktool by decompiling, editing, and then recompiling. I will try this when I get the chance to. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this yet.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1onewolf:
Hi,

I've got a question about to how to set up my google voice (configuration) with my upcoming andriod phone.

I'm an Iphone user moving into andriod (I've snagged an LG nexus 4 and will be using that in the near future).

My current setup (I am out of my 2 year contract) is that I have a monthly minutes and data plan. I do not have a texting plan.

I mostly use my google voice number to text over data/wifi.

The problem with this of course is that this requires giving people two numbers and most people have my old original cell phone number and they'll need to remember which number to text (a remarkably hard task,even in this modern age of technology and mobile internet because people are still content to pay for texting plans)

.

I plan to port my cell phone number (because I'm out of contract) into my google voice. I will also open a new line with my carrier (to maintain my cell phone service). I will not giving out the number to my new line to anybody. This allows me to manage all calls (screen, block, etc directly from google voice which I really enjoy) and I will not have to notify my contacts that I've changed my number. I would like to keep my original google voice number as well.

As I see it, I have 2 options.

1) Port my cell phone number into my current google voice account (effectively having 2 numbers in 1 google account - this costs 20 dollars to port and 20 dollars to keep the original GV number - 40 dollars total)

2) Port my number into another google account, leaving me to use 2 google acounts, and use 2 different google voice applications for texting (only 20 dollars for 1 port). This would also force me to set my (new cellular) number (new line which I've opened because my old line will be ported) as a work or home number - because google does not allow you to link your mobile number to two different voice accounts.

This chart was tremendously helpful in helping me figure out that the native andriod texting application is not "fully integrated" with google voice. It more or less functions much like the default Iphone's messaging app (not what I expected).

http://i.stack.imgur.com/zW9Os.png

Therefore my questions are

1) How well does andriod's native phone integrate with google voice?

The first question might answer the rest:

2) Will I be able to use the default phone application to manage all my numbers (dialing, voicemail etc). Or will I possibly need to use multiple applications.

3) Will I be able to use visual voicemail from the default app? )

4) Will I be able to use my phone to place an outgoing call from my google voice number using hands-free (bluetooth, etc)

5) Are there any other better viable alternatives?

Sorry if this is a bit wordy and messy.

Thanks for your help.

I find a way to fix N8010 reboot problem by flash German Rom .

You just install a CPU control software and set mode to "on demand" and start this software at restart then everything will be fine.

I try it on my N8010 ,it works perfect now .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
I know most of you already notice this but if you don't:

In Setting/ Power saving mode, check the "CPU power saving" then your phone will be limit to 1.1GHz max from 1.6Ghz.

I would suggest to tick on the "Screen power saving", "background color" and "turn off haptic feedback" to save some extra juice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Err0xx:
LTE on. 24h unplugged. 75% screen brightness. Full heavy haptic feedback. Heavy gaming and Internet use. Phone calls. Texting. 3D live wallpaper. Still 7h screen on time before the phone finally had to be plugged in.

I don't know what you use your phone for but I'm going crazy on mine and can't kill the battery. If you need more juice, then more power to ya. I can't fathom why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] u921333:
LOL I tried to kill mine but it out lasted me I woke up at 5 for work and by end of the day I went on a 2 hour gaming session to try and completely drain it and got it to 9% but it was like 10 and had work next day so gave up. I lost

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] u921333:
I dont touch my charger till I hit the bed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmjkxa:
Try a day without charging your phone at your desk. Yesterday I pulled in about 7 hours of on-screen time. That's with LTE and anything else internet intensive you could imagine. The only way you'll overcome that worry you have is to test it out yourself. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Suzook1:
I run mine full cycle every time to 1% left then charge. Best way to maximize battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jrockttu:
I'm with you. I came from the Skyrocket and it was a struggle to get through a full weekday on LTE. In the past week with the Note 2 I don't even have to think about charging it when I'm awake during the day. It's very liberating!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
I would understand this philosophy if the Note 2 didn't have an easily replaceable battery, but in a years time you could replace a poor battery for cheap. Just recently the stand with extra battery and charger was $30 on the Samsung site (it may still be that price)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Phytrax:
Damn, I wish I could get run times like that. I usually get HSPA signal and after 16 hrs I'm dead with 4-5 hrs of screen on time. I mostly text and do web browsing. Maybe an hour of music with wifi on all the time and auto brightness. Still lasts longer than my SGS3 did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
My first charge is 7 hours screen time for 24 hours unplugged. Now it's going down hill to 4-4:30 hours after i rooted and remove bloats. Installed couple MoDs.. Dammed i wish i can go back to 7 hours screen time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Err0xx:
You do know to "remove bloat" all you had to do was go into the stock app manager in settings and disable anything you didn't want. That is actually a much better solution than "freezing" with TiBu or removing altogether. I'm not convinced root and mods are 100% stable yet. Most people reporting decreased battery life are those that have rooted or modded something. I'm still 100% stock with ATT stuff disabled and batt life is still 7+ hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Phytrax:
Even bare stock I wasn't getting that much screen on time. So far I've only rooted and changed the kernel. Though today my battery life is starting off good. Yesterday I ticked the power saving option for the screen. I'll post an update tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scourge18a:
Today I was on for 5.5 hours, screen time of 2.2 and was at 54% with Power Saving On

So I went to bell and grabbed another battery

Time will tell if that helps

I could never reach 5 hours of screen time but could have the phone on for 30+ hours

I cant wait till we get more developer support, I used Francos Kernel with my galaxy nexus and it improved battery by 30 % and made my 8 hours overnight use only 2% battery. I was using 12-17% overnight with my note 2 asleep. Aside from kernels and roms I use this phone exactly the same as I did my Nexus. wifi off, bt off, gps on, push email on, auto brightness
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] santiagodraco:
Lithium Ion batteries actually do better if you don't charge it constantly. In other words let it run down a bit before charging. You don't want to always keep "topping it off". But in general these batteries are much more resilient than others.

Just do some research. There's lots of info out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
Umm, no, it does not. You are stressing the battery out. Unless needed, dont keep the battery below 20%. Its healthier to charge the phone sporatically throughout the day.

These aren't nickel batteries...they dont need to be trained or "cycled"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
I'm a battery test engineer so I have played around with Li-ion batts.

If you can keep the phone at cool temperature and charge at 40% and stop at 80% then keep doing 40-80, your battery will last double long :)

★♡★ AT&T Galaxy Note II ★♡★
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
Agreed. Full discharges are not necessary for lithium ion batteries. Full discharges were needed for NiCad or NiMH batteries as they suffered from memory effect. LithIon doesn't suffer from this. With that said, a lot of experts do suggest discharging a LithIon periodically, maybe once a month or every other month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Erik_T:
All correct. I think that it should also be added that for the first five times right after you get the phone you should bring them from 100% to 0% 5 times. Then after that you should keep it between 2p% and 80%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jgrnght:
I love this battery. That is all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
Its more than the battery. You can tell this was designed together (screen, processor, battery), as opposed to the OG note (just a larger skyrocket).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
I disagreed with you the last part. I owned the Skyrocket, Note I now the Note II. But i don't consider the Note I " just a larger skyrocket". It does almost 85% of what Note II does except smartstay and Multiview. But soon our devs in Note one will have a away to suit them in. I love my Note I and still love it. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
In terms of the guts...its just a larger skyrocket. Albeit with a wacom display (duh). But the note 1 definitely doesnt feel as put together as the Note 2 (software and hardware wise). The software works fluidly on the note 2. The main reason I flashed my note 1 was because touchwiz was so bad and lagged so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Err0xx:
Agreed. Note 1 was a larger skyrocket with wacom. At the time it felt decent but, to me now, holding the Note 2 in one hand and the note 1 in the other, the Note 1 feels like a product experiment. Not necessarily bad but nowhere near as "put together" as the note 2. Everything from the software to the hardware in this device is *****in'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] justquan2:
This is Day 1 and I can honestly say this battery is way better than note 1on day 1. After 4hrs on the note 1 the battery would be done!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Err0xx:
It gets even better. Wait and see.

It topped 24h unplugged and 7h screen on the other day and this kind of battery life is still what I'm getting- so this wasn't an exception.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
Absolutely no battery saving used here. Could have seen 8 hours screen on im sure.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
Are you rooted? What rom are you using? Any special settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] x2h:
Interesting. What does last double long mean? You got longer run time per charge, or your battery can be charged double more times?

Sent from Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
The use of the battery life will be longer. For ex: from 8 months now 1.5 years before change a new battery. Keep the phone fully charge 100% all the time will help you to have longer use without the charger BUT not that great for the life of the battery. Also drain the battery to 0% all the time not good either.

Anyway. We can buy many new batteries to replace so who cares right? :) That's a good thing for Samsung phone: easy to swap battery.:cool:
