[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul Blake:
1 this belong to theme and apps

2 what rom you want to have these toggles?

3 4.2.2 toggles cant be ported to 4.2.2 roms

4 4.1.2 toggles cant be styled like 4.2.2 toggles only if you theme them . I cant be x rows with y collums only 1 scrollable row
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
Firstly thanks for replying.

I want to have Aosp style live toggles on 4.1.2.

themed toggle tiles on 4.1.2 does not look the way it is on 4.2.2. Unfortunately, keeping a 4.2.2 rom for your daily use is not good as it is hungry on battery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
you can try Alliance Rom or biftor rom. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
I am on biftor rom and using the toggle mod. But I love the aosp.toggle tile look, the animation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Hate to break it to you, but nobody's going to port a bunch of tiles for you. Ergo, learn to do it yourself if you want it done.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feyyaz-xda:
Hello All.

For outdoors sportsmans negative colors option is very valuable because when activated and with brightness at max the phone is totally readable under full sunlight.

Unfortunately negative colors widget is missing on the S4 whereas it came stock on S3.

It would be great to have it on S4 as well.

I am a stock ROM user so I wonder if the apk can be extracted from S4 and can be installed on S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordNicoll:
Negativecolours widget

Check out the Samsung App store, search for Negativecolours widget, and download it. Also check out the HQ voice and other widgets. Samsung left them out to free over a GB of space, and made them available on the its own app store incase someone needed them, enjoy man!

[Nexus 5 General] galfert:
Here is an idea that requires everyone to participate.

Plan: Try and get Best Buy to sell you a Nexus 5 before official launch. Maybe they have stock already.

Action: Call your local Best Buy and act dumb. Tell them you want to buy the Nexus 5 and to put one on hold for you to pick up. Or walk into a store if you prefer and do the same. Ask them if perhaps they have a Nexus 5 sitting in the back of the store. Make no mention of the fact that it hasn't officially been announced for sale.

I forget exactly which phone was sold before it was officially released a years or so ago. I remember reading that this guy got a phone before time and he was a bit nervous about it but posted details online about it. So this is possible people! If you remember this incident and the phone remind us.

If everyone does it we might get lucky and have more info to share on the Nexus 5.

Of course report back if you are successful. It might even be fun to report the failed outcomes too. Be creative. See if you can snag an inventory screen shot. See if at least they tell you that they are back there but that they can't be touched.

PS - Don't be that guy. If you think this is a stupid plan be polite. Offer your opinion and insight in a respectful way. You can't say it isn't possible because this has happened before. Sure there are practices in place to prevent this. But all it takes is one rookie mistake and things go unexpected. This is all in good fun. We might get lucky!
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
Who told you it was going to be sold at Best Buy? I see you have a N4, did you get that at Best Buy too?
[Nexus 5 General] galfert:
We don't know if Best Buy is going to sell the Nexus 5. But they might. They sell all the other Google products (Nexus 7, Chromecast, Chromebook, etc). We also know from a particular Canadian store that there is Nexus 5 inventory. So the Nexus 5 isn't going to be exclusive to the Play Store. None if this is definite for Best Buy, but it can't hurt to try our luck. Perhaps Google learned from the N4 launch that Play Store only sales is bad way to launch a product.

... And I got my N4 and N10 from the Play Store on launch day.
[Nexus 5 General] Zombienaut:
Several BestBuy managers have told people that they will have the Nexus 5 in stock.
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
When you say a particular Canadian store, are you talking about Future Shop?

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Are you talking about those end cap displays? I thought they were only for N7, Chromcast
[Nexus 5 General] ricecake2000:
I may try this tomorrow if I'm bored before work. Ha I'll report back.
[Nexus 5 General] Caelrie:
Good luck! It worked with the Nexus 7 a couple months ago.
[Nexus 5 General] patstock11:
I bought the n7 2 days early at BB too...I saw the box up above in those locked cages...so I pointed and asked for it...worth a try I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] devoncatt:
UK CarPhone Warehouse has 3,000 in stock according to a leak , I wonder if it would work there as in best buy? Does it depend on how clueless the staff is?
[Nexus 5 General] lowandbehold:
I think there is a definite possibility it will be sold at Best Buy. Google seems to be taking a different direction with this phone. More hype, and evleaks posted that it is going to be available on Sprint..
[Nexus 5 General] mb3030:
a friend of mine who works at BB as a manager told me they are expecting to sell the phone, but that they have yet to receive any units and might not get them until after its already out. This is on LI NY btw
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
If they're going to sell the phone it should be in their inventory systems; it's an easy thing to check.
[Nexus 5 General] busab:
That and whether or not their system will allow them to sell it.
[Nexus 5 General] b_loner:
Which bb in li? I live close to the one at green acres
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
Very true, that's why I find it's hard to believe that they'll have the N5 at launch. Someone should've posted a picture of the inventory already. I know I would if I was still there. (Like for the Wii's and PS3's.)
[Nexus 5 General] MisterRich:
I'm pretty confident they are. I visit my local BestBuy yesterday and asked a customer service rep. He said he knew what I was talking about and went to ask his manager if he could sell it. When he came back 2-3 minutes later, he told me suddenly he wasn't permitted to talk about it because it's not official, so he couldn't legally converse over it. I'm going to try back at another location and see if I can get someone to pop early there, I also got my Nexus 7 2013 48 hours before launch just because I asked. Some guy went in the back and got it for me. Worth a try I suppose.
[Nexus 5 General] jayr04:
Hmm. I have a friend that works at BB.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
This changes...everything...
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
fixed
[Nexus 5 General] ricecake2000:
So would it be better to go to the store and hang around the phones? Or just call the store?
[Nexus 5 General] jayr04:
LOL. You're right. BB stores have terrible service. When I have a question, no one is ever around.
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
i work at best buy mobile if i see or hear anything I'll let you guys know at the least i almost guarantee well have the sprint version on contract
[Nexus 5 General] ricecake2000:
There is no sperate version for sprint ? I thought there was only one variant. And would they charge extra like t mobile does?
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
that's the questions i have too after evleaks showed a sprint variant
[Nexus 5 General] ricecake2000:
So has anyone tried this and if by chance someone does get it what would be the ramifications if you sign into your g account?

Edit: "No we do not have the n5 in stock just the n4"

Oh well lol
[Nexus 5 General] flameinthefire:
i also tried it in two different stores. The responses i got are below.

From Tmobile Store - "We only have nexus 7 in stock"

From BestBuy-- "What's a nexus 5?"

lol
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I live in the UK and went to a Carphone warehouse today and asked, the guy almost sold me one but when he looked it up on the system he saw that they weren't allowed to sell them yet. :( I also tried an EE (uks biggest phone network) store today and they said they had stock but again couldn't sell it to me. :/

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Oh yeh also this from carphone warehouse :)

and one of my own
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Did they actually bring the box out to show you they had some?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yep, looks to be the same as the leaked photos, only got a quick look though as he realized he couldn't sell it to me. He wouldn't give me a date either, which was rather annoying.

Looked like this.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

He did produce a whole box of them, small brown and had LG tape on it too, if thats of any use to anyone.

Think im going to have another go tomorrow provided they have a different shift of staff.
[Nexus 5 General] DXM31:
I called BB's 800 CS number yesterday and got the mobile phone person and asked if they were going to have the Nexus 5 on the release date.

She said it was not in their system. So probably not.

I don't really know if that means anything. I just resigned myself to order through the playstore
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
No price on their systems either i'd expect? sooo annoying to know they're out there and yet nothing xD not even more leaks of 4.4
[Nexus 5 General] mb3030:
westbury
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
He never mentioned a price, unfortunately we didn't get that far. But he did say that it was in the same contract price region as a Samsung Galaxy Mega which in the UK is normally on a £25 or $40 contract or ~£300or $480 to buy out unlocked. Who knows, fingers crossed its in the sub £300 group.
[Nexus 5 General] mb3030:
just want to follow up and say my friend said he sees nothing in the system at BB yet. So i dont know. Maybe he's dumb or maybe its not there yet lol
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
I would say that odds are Best Buy is not selling it. We've had two people claim that there's nothing in the inventory system, and it would have to be if it were being delivered for sale by now.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
for that i'd happily go grab one there rather than wait for GP. thanks for the info chap hopefully you'll have better luck next time xD
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
No problem, Fingers crossed ill get my hands on one tomorrow, and if I do then I will be sure to share as much as I can on here :laugh:

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Best Buy wont sell the nexus 5. Not at launch anyway, Carphone Warehouse in the UK have had it in their system for nearly a week, EE (phone company) have had it for nearly two weeks and that Canadian carrier has had it too. If best buy were going to have them for launch they would be in the system by now.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
Yes, that's a pretty successful reiteration of what I wrote; thanks. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
It wont be in our system best buy is trying to deter leaks when the moto x was leaked from best buys inventory it was pulled the same day because it was all over online
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I apologize I hadn't seen your post. silly me :silly:

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

I very much doubt best buy would do that specifically for that reason. Its already been leaked so much why would bb worry? What more is there to leak? other than actually selling the damn device xD

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Just thought I would share this with you guys, maybe we wont need to trick anyone :)

http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-leaks-all-over-place-ahead-anticipated-launch
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
its not specifically for that reason its because we have agreements with vendors not to sell or give out release information before release date, when ever something is sold ahead of time its pinged to that store and associate... ive seen people fired for selling before release date.. to combat that it usually doest hit the system until the day or night before
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Maybe thats what best buy do, but it being on the system doesn't make it available as my experience with Carphone warehouse shows, they had it, and had it on the system but they didnt sell it to me?
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
best buys Point of Sale system is linked to is RSS inventory system it will be an invalid barcode if not in the inventory system
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Exactly its a computer system, surely they can flag it (like in the carphone warehouse) and tell the rep at the POS that they can sell them. If its in stock then it should be somewhere in the system. There is no way they have a phone in stock that isnt on the system.
[Nexus 5 General] ricecake2000:
Ha say your a device tester for Google and they told you to buy one after your prototype broke. Might work.

But honestly. I work at Walmart and if you sell something before release you are terminated. Would a little less wait be enough to justify someones job?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
It may work but tbh now im 99% sure its tomorrow or friday im not too bothered. And I agree its not really worth someones job, especially in this economic climate.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
I got my two Sensations a day before release at Wally's...and the dude still works there couple years later. He even knew he sold them early, and in fact sold one before me. Those three units were all the stock they had for another two weeks.
[Nexus 5 General] flameinthefire:
so i called up best buy and spoke to a manager and i was told that they will not be carrying the nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
I agree with you on that but i'm going to play devil's advocate and ask, if the store you called a "big box" store and does it have best buy mobile?
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
Dress up as a witch/wizard and mesmerize them.
[Nexus 5 General] flameinthefire:
i am not sure what a "big box" store but yes they do have best buy mobile
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
big box=normal best buy store

stand alone store or specialty store=best buy mobile
[Nexus 5 General] flameinthefire:
ah ok. Yes it is indeed a big box store
[Nexus 5 General] nickmv:
You guys keep talking about Best Buy, etc, but nobody has mentioned price.

T-Mobile, for example, was selling the N4 for 599 bucks. That's absurd and a slap in the face to customers. Does BB plan to try to rip folks off too?
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
No they weren't.

T-Mobile offered a slight discount on the nexus 4 if you got a contract with them or something.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
No they won't because best buy aren't going to sell them
[Nexus 5 General] nickmv:
Except the price they claimed as MSRP was about 200 bucks higher than Google was actually selling it for, OFF contract.

If you got a 2 year contract, they'd sell it for $200. But if you wanted to buy it outright, they'd charge you 550-600 bucks. That's a ripoff and a huge increase over MSRP, at that time.
[Nexus 5 General] seanerixon:
I work at Best Buy, we're not selling it.

Unless we get it at the last second.

If we did have it, the register wouldn't allow the product to be sold anyway.

Sooooooo /thread
[Nexus 5 General] danieljordanmaddux:
But that's MANUFACTURERS suggested retail. Not what Google sold it for. Google got them at cost and sold them at cost pretty much. I can certainly see LG slapping a suggested retail of $550 on the n4 at launch. Not saying that justifies the mark up they put on them though. But I doubt T-Mobile sold anywhere near the number of devices that Google did. And I would be willing to bet Google only made money on the n4s with the higher storage. Theres no profit margin for T-Mobile at Google's prices. And even if there was a slight profit they wouldn't be able to move the amount of devices that Google did to exploit that.
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
It might be different from location, but over here in Cali, big box stores are flagship stores i.e. San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York stores. Then they have the regular ones which "were" used to out compete Good Guys and Circuit City.

The big box stores carried more goods where the regular ones carried the essentials. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] daddioj:
I hate best buy there always 100-200 higher than retail. like someone wouldn't buy it directly from AT&T / GOOGLE ..... idiots then they always give me problems. like ohhhh we cant sell phones outright. you can buy it and activate it in the store? what?!?!?!? why would I buy it then activate it... why do you have activated price? and unactivated... I had such a hard time when buying the HTC one as well.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Typically the only phones BB sells outright are the pay as you go phones. Their retail prices are no higher than anywhere else. Off contract price for the N4 from Telus for example is 350 vs Google at 250
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
your right on phones they are more expensive we have an agreement with carriers to not sell them out right unless you are on one of there contracts... i sell phones outright all the time just have to activate it
[Nexus 5 General] daddioj:
which is why phones should not be sold at bestbuy full price. because it makes no sense. to be forced to activate it. if that's the case I would walk out of the store for 150 199. I don't do contracts. who would pay full price then go into a contract? lmao your buying your way out of a contract that's why you pay full price
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
Edit: deleted useless to explain to some people basically phones are activated because carriers say so outright is done when people are already on contract and something happens to current phone
[Nexus 5 General] daddioj:
I get it. but still. I am on a go phone plan and pay more money then some on a contract plan. mean while my 60 dollar plan is better then most post paid. ridiculous an di am not tied down for 2 years! this is why people go into contracts then break em pay the termination fee. because carriers cant give customers what they want.
[Nexus 5 General] kornklown69:
I dunno if u look at recent news both AT&T and Verizon gained a substantial amount of post paid customers both breaking estimates for the year seems like they are doing something right
[Nexus 5 General] daddioj:
I guess I am the only one in the world who wants sometime different lmao :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] AhsanU:
I work at best buy and can tell you that best buy does in fact, not have the nexus 5. If it did, I would've done just about anything to grab one beforehand but it simply does not. I'll talk to my supervisor and department manager but as of now, there is no word on availability.
[Nexus 5 General] kirdroid:
Most people have zero idea about phones and buy the useless branded ugly Verizon logo phones. That is why these carrier morons keep ripping off people with crazy prices and bastardized devices. If only people did some research.

LG Nexus 5 Best Buy

I've seen tech blogs reporting today that Amazon and Bestbuy will be launching the Nexus 5 at the same exact time as the playstore.

It may be as soon as 11am PST today. http://bit.ly/Nexus5Announcement
[Nexus 5 General] aprilynn:
All 4 of the local Best Buy's gave various responses:

"We don't carry the google product" - (yes he said "the google")

"We won't have Nexus 5 because it doesn't have an assigned carrier"

"I have no idea, we're busy. *click*"

"It's not in the system, but we're launching iPad Air tomorrow though!"

I tried a few best buy mobiles but their hold times were too high. :)

[Nexus 5 General] galfert:
Great to hear from you guys. So it was the Galaxy Nexus. Even better. I thought it was a carrier phone.
[Nexus 5 General] flameinthefire:
ordered mine 32g!!! it says leaves the warehouse on 11/5
[Nexus 5 General] galfert:
I read that Best Buy will have it on Nov 8th. The Verge article said that. Along with Radio Shack and Sprint stores. T-Mobile will have it later(unspecified).

For those that ordered from Google Play Store with 2 day shipping... it will ship Nov 5th and get to you by Nov 7th for a one day earlier availability than box stores which begin selling on Nov 8th.

The Nov 5th shipments is only for the first round of orders which went fast (about 30 min for black). Now shipping is limited on model choice and is saying that it won't ship for new orders till the 8th. I'm sure we'll see the date keep slipping for later orders as 3rd and 4th....etc. orders get processed.
[Nexus 5 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:

[Nexus 5 General] SupWiz17:
Yeah I might have to cancel my order if I can get one at best buy a few days earlier.
[Nexus 5 General] galfert:
It didn't work. It seems Best Buy doesn't have stock yet. I would try Best Buy a day or two before they are scheduled to sell on the 8th.
[Nexus 5 General] newtooroot:
wrong

wrong on most of your post.
[Nexus 5 General] galfert:
Yep. I just read that Best Buy will only carry the Nexus 5 for Sprint customers with a 2 year contract.

Well this thread is dead. I ordered my Nexus 5 and I'll have it on the 7th (2nd day shipping).
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
But, he was right on most of his post...

This is only part of the post that I can't confirm, so let's just say he's wrong here.

This is correct. If you ordered it in time, you could have the Play Store telling you that it will ship by November 5th, which I have. I also got 2-day shipping, so I should have it by the 7th, two days after the latest day it will ship, the 5th.

This is also correct. It took about 30 minutes for the 16GB black to be sold out. Some models now say they are out of stock. The models that you can get say they will ship by November 8th. I'm sure once this batch gets all boughten up, they will push back the ship-by date, just like this second batch got pushed back 3 days.
