I created this thread when the latest JB OTA 4.1.2 source dropped for the E4GT. It should give you an idea of what you can get rid of, since basically the core app packages are the same across diff phones. Enjoy :)

I thought I would start where we can list who has them in Stock and who bought one.

I saw someone earlier say they said a store had them in Boston.

my local tmobile store here in california have stocks. I've seen them. But the manager said they have instructions not to sell until Oct.2.

So i assume most tmobile stores will also have them in stock in the coming days. But won't display them until opening day.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
Someone will end up selling it early. They always do ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
So it looks like it might be out September 25th or is this just the other countries around the world and not the US?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
Just chatted with Best Buy reps and they said they are talking about Oct release. But their website shows 9/27.

Anyone else have any luck in the US getting one yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
So now Best Buy says it is Oct 4th, wow. Can someone please get that correct.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] adventure_of_link:
Supposedly it's early October but according to my pre-order mine is supposed to arrive today. Mind you there's no other info on it other than Order Placed. -shrugs-

this is pre-ordering directly from T-mobile btw.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
I called AT&T and rep said, oh it's backorder but should be in within 10-15 business days. I just said, yeah Ok thanks. Wonder if these people get any training at all before answering the phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
Ok going to check all local Best Buys, Best Buy Mobiles, and AT&T stores near me today...

Let me know if you guys find any in stock in the US.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
My AT&T pre order from Sept 6th:

Pending Shipment

Shipping Date: 09/11/13 - 09/13/13*

So no change yet on that...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
Called 1st AT&T store and they said Oct. 4th.

Just called another AT&T store (bigger store) and they said they will have the Galaxy Note 3 in stock on Oct 1...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
1st Best Buy called and they have no stock and he checked the back stock to see if they even received any in the warehouse and they have not received any yet...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
2nd Best Buy called, they had no idea when they would be in stock...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
So far 1 person on the message boards said theirs shipped from AT&T but there is no proof.

My status still says shipping pending.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
Checked on my status of the pre order on the 6th; still says shipment pending.

Anyone else get a shipping from AT&T yet?

I will keep you posted if anything changes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeaconBoogie:
I know the bezel around the lens has a blue protective skin over it from the factory, but it looks like the actual lens itself may have one as there is a reflective coating that is not symmetrical inside the bezel. e.g. it looks like there's a sticker that is off-center over the lens...

It looks like an anti-reflective coating as it's a bit purple, but it definitely looks like a sticker.

Afraid to touch it, honestly... :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QQeyes:
I'm pretty sure there's not. There's a small piece of dust stuck under the glass on mine, I spent a while swabbing it with alcohol trying to figure out what it was. If there was some kind of film over it I would have surely warped or dislodged it.

My hidden menu disappeared after i got on it for a while i don't remember touching anything or messing with any setting i was also disabling some useless apps without root, now i can't access it no matter what i type the keystroke and the numbers clear in the dial pad. i know the app is there i looked in system/app and hiddenmenu.apk and odex are present. and if i try to install it from there it tells me it will replace it obviously it won't i did that to see if it is still installed.

It also hid itself from the all apps menu.

Hey there, I'm Dwappo :3. I've also been on the other android forums (androidforums/Android Central), kinda been active there and while I don't know as much as some people about android devices, I've been in IT for about 4 years (mostly hardware/software troubleshooting, I would like to get into coding but eh, school is first xD). I'm also a forum moderator for a popular game (well, I think PWI is popular xD).

I believe you know already, but be very careful when you flash ROMs and stuff. It wasn't so pleasant experience to hard brick my phone and waiting for a week without a phone! General rule of thumb would be to follow every single instructions by modders word for word, but I learned it the hard way. :(

I'm also into programming, and I recently joined up in a computer science club in my college as they were planning to develop an Android app.

Anyways, wish ya luck on all things Android (and to myself, lol).

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
Does any member have any information regarding the Gears watch Crystal? I doubt it is sapphire glass but ponder if its Corning Gorilla. I ask as I notice some third party brands are already offering screen savers? On a watch though? I can say this with no hesitation if the glass is not strong I will be numero uno to bust it. All my watches have a sapphire crystal for this reason.

What happens when that strap wears out? It appears an integral part of the watch and non replaceable? Again any one know what the strap is made from?

I think in all my years of purchasing technology this is my first without actually seeing the device. Still a fool is soon parted from his money so that's why I am broke again!:silly:

Thanks in advance,

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
Surely some one here knows the answer to this one?:p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chhaggerty:
Sapphire Glass
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
I do hope you are correct. sapphire glass rates only second to diamond in terms of hardness. Sapphire glass costs a fortune though! How the heck have Samsung managed to fit a sapphire glass that size when the glass alone would cover the total cost of the watch?

Why are Samsung so secretive about the specs. I still cannot find 'an official' spec from Samsung that has this information in writing?

No need for screen saver with sapphire glass that a given. I do hope you are correct.:good:

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RaptorMD:
Bulk purchasing power, that is how Samsung manages it plus they are likely not making anything off version 1.0 so they can get more sales on the Galaxy Note series they are tied into.

As I suspected from the word go, its NOT sapphire glass.

This is one of those occasions where I hate to be proved correct. I thought sapphire was too good to be true.

I have written a reply in your other thread regarding your problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cubandevil:
Its not sapphire its gorilla glass 3
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
No confrontation from me at all when I ask where you got that information from? The safety booklet that comes in the box in SOME countries, not this one, says; Glass or acrylic?

How could it be Glass or acrylic, its either one or the other and if Samsung don't know who does?

Again, I would question Coning glass as mine already has minute marks on the glass and I treat my watches with the greatest care and respect, I collect them.

Agggggga, cant we find a definitive answer to this?

Thanks for your input though. Please do let us know where this information comes from.

Kind regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cubandevil:
I asked my Samsung rep he said gorilla 3
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
Nothing official then or printed on a Samsung site? Reps will and do say anything. I have no idea where your rep got his info' from?

The warranty book that comes in the box in most countries states the crystal is made from Glass or acrylic? Don't ask I have no idea.

One chap I asked said the crystal was "Some sort of glass and the camera lens is acrylic"?

Absurd not being able to ascertain such basic information in writing from Samsung. I have now put mine back in its box until some screen savers arrive. I don't want to risk scratching that large screen, would detract from the looks.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] siddsm:
I haven't even been able to use it for more than one day. :( Watch is sitting in its box back home, will contact my service provider once am back from my trip..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
Same with me. Add to the lack of consumer knowledge regarding the crystal I am seeing more and more posts regarding the lens misting up.:(

This has been due to perspiration. I live in the hottest country in Europe and just a walk to the post box can make one sweat especially under ones watch. My concern is that lens plus those bare contacts, will they short out? No exposed electronics like moisture!

Have got to the point where I am just not using the watch, I just don't need this hassle-worry right now. Like many others I have a waiting list of problems and a wrist watch will have to join the end of a long list of far high prioritise.

Best wishes.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lyall29:
I have a few micro scratches on my watch face now. I had a cheap screen protector on it for all of last week and I removed it Saturday because I thought that the glass was sapphire. Well it must not be, because I wiped the dust off of the face with my shirt and now I have a few scratches. They are very small but I can see them in the right lighting.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
Hi, From posts I am reading it certainly appears the crystal is not sapphire. At this price I thought it impossible even though a few posters assured me it was sapphire.

I have already re ordered some screen savers BUT screen savers on a watch? The problem is the crystal is raised so will attract every tiny mark as yours has done. Add this to the camera misting up, the clasp being the most unreliable type of design possible, poor IP protection and the Gear is already a hard ware nightmare.

I will probably be purchasing the Sony 11 when it arrives here as already I am seeing in some other countries the price has dropped.

Overall I suspect the gear was rushed into production without research and development just to try and be the first of its type on the market regardless of some very poor design faults. On this occasion Samsung has not impressed me.

Oh BTW, why has Samsung introduced the Note 3 some weeks ago yet we are still waiting to see any official Samsung accessories like the numerous covers we have been promised? I think Samsung has feelings or grandeur and is due a fall. Did you know all Note 3 are region locked and Samsung is about to do this with the S4 etc?

No idea why a brand would deliberately alienate its customer base like this.

I am still unable to ascertain from Samsung what the crystal is actually made from.

Kind regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TheGuac:
I don't even think the watch face is crystal at all. It feels like some degree of plastic in all honesty. You would expect crystal to feel hard and cold which this doesn't. I have Omega and other Swiss watches and their faces feel a lot better. I wouldn't get your hopes up that the face is made up of quality components. Its price is just too low for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
Indeed so. Your Omega will 99% certain be sapphire though a very few have another type of watch crystal. The term 'crystal' is watch trade jargon for the glass. Though I am NOT in the watch trade my family has been for over 100 years. I also collect watches.

One kind poster here replied that the booklet he received inside his Gear box actually had written " glass-acrylic" That threw me for a complete loop as its either one or the other. I have asked my family and to their knowledge there is not a hybrid glass acrylic watch crystal?

The point that rather puzzles and disappoints me is when I asked Samsung in writing what the crystal was made of they replied that I had asked an "inappropriate question"? What on earth does that mean and why all the secrecy?

Another poster has said the crystal is made from Corning Gorilla glass 111, I requested his source for this information but to date no reply?

WE should be informed so we can take the level of care needed depending on the materials used. My other grave concern is the very low Ingress protection. This is first and foremost a wrist watch and needs to function to a certain degree of robustness and water protection OR the b++++y gear is as useful as boobies to a Nun!

Such potential yet so much of it seems incomplete?:p

Kind regards.

DO NOT INSTALL THE UPDATE! It is for the Arabic version of the unit and does not have any new features, except for the IMAGiNET suite of Arabizer utilities (Prayer Times, Hijiri Calendar, Dictionary, Pocket Arabizer etc).

As the title says guys. It's definitely confirmed now, next Nexus 10 will be made by Asus :)

Check out my tweet https://twitter.com/Rage06/status/380443818497015808

Let me tell you the story to how I found it:

I always check for upcoming products by searching on our internal system just incase anything comes up. I remember being one of the first guys to get the Nexus 7 (1st gen) price and availability to Android sites. Remember persistence works! :p Anyways, decided to type in Nexus 10 on the system in yhe morning today and guess what popped up!? Well yes for the first time Nexus 10 came up. And at first I thought it was last years model but I thought to my self why are we showing it now? Though UK retailers never stocked it and then after a few minutes it hit me! IT DOESN'T SAY SAMSUNG looooool. It's Asus, so it has to be the new one! Haha. Plus the UK price is on the tweet for those who want to know :D

Don't think any of the Big sites picked it up yet.

This makes me happy, just means I won't be upgrading from my first gen N10. Never had any luck with Asus tablets. The first gen N7 was a hit, but this current gen is plagued with problems. My friend is on her third tablet because of the same touch screen problems. I won't even talk about the transformer lineup.

Everyone has his/her opinion. Some will be happy about this news and some (like me) disappointed.
[Nexus 10 General] talz13:
I thought they supposedly fixed the touchscreen problems with the firmware update? Is it still present?
[Nexus 10 General] duarian:
Yes. My friend at work let me use her brand new nexus 7 FHD yesterday and it was bad. Things sometimes required multiple touches to respond.

Its just like the I/O issues in the transformer series was claimed to be software when it was clearly hardware.
[Nexus 10 General] furou:
Agreed. Asus may make great motherboards and notebooks but they have the worst tablets. I got burned twice; I bought the tf700 last year and the screen was great but the user experience was horrible because of the slow I/O, it was lagging doing the basic things like opening the app drawer, flashing the cromix rom helped but you can't get around such cheap bad hardware with tweaks. Then I went ahead and got N7 2013 because I thought Asus learned from their mistakes and the partnership with Google would mean better quality control, but my N7 has the multi touch issues. I don't understand how Asus can screw up a touch screen on a tablet.

So I'm disappointed Google decided to choose Asus and I'll wait until it's certain Asus got the Nexus 10 right and didn't like, accidentally manufacture some units without speakers or other units with varying sizes or got the touch screen malfunctioning again... you never know with Asus.
[Nexus 10 General] blackhand1001:
As an owner of the 2nd generation nexus 7, I can say that the latest firmware update has in fact fixed the touch issue on mine.
[Nexus 10 General] oldblue910:
If this is actually true (and not some kind of error in your inventory system), I'll need to make sure I stock up on popcorn. The Internet will absolutely blow up with stories of "OMG! This is the first time in 3 years that Samsung hasn't had a current-generation Nexus device!!!! Google and Samsung are becoming estranged and their relationship is on the outs!!!!! OMG, Samsung's going to go 100% Tizen and ditch Android forever!!!!!"

Of course, this is absolutely ridiculous, but it'll serve as good fodder for the Internet Android blogs for a day or two. After all, we all know Android blogs generally won't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

[Nexus 10 General] Rage1ofakind:
Our inventory will never show a product that is not real by the way. So this is 100% true :)

I'm definitely going to pick this one up, now that i know Google are going to stock it officially in stores as well unlike last years one. So this will mean they will be advertising it and putting some real marketing power behind it. I'm hoping Android KitKat brings some features which improves the core apps. As one of the reason why Samsung Note 10.1 has been very popular is because they added on to stock android and made it a fully featured tablet OS.

Will never get a Samsung (non nexus) tablet as Touchwiz is so sluggish. So seriously looking forward to Nexus 10 2013/14 edition as this'll be my first proper 10 inch tablet :D
