Preordered the nexus 9 yesterday from Amazon. Expected delivery 11/4. Got the 32GB for $419.99...yay! It took applying for and getting the Amazon credit card, but it did and got $60 off for it.:D
[Nexus 9 General] mk92595:
Anybody else get an email by amazon about their N9 not having a release date?
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
No m8, copy and paste let's have a look please
[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
I got that very same email too: they changed from originally saying "Available on November 3" to "There is no delivery date", which seems to me like code-language for "Don't be a fool expecting this to be shipped on November 3 as formerly stated" :mad:

My theory: Google will have a batch on November 3 and most likely they would give priority to fulfill orders from people getting their tablets from the Google Play store first? booo!
[Nexus 9 General] TheDom82:
I got that email today. My original delivery date was 11/4. If I don't see a shipping confirmation for it on 11/3 to get on 11/4, I may just cancel the order and go to my local best buy if they've it in stock...
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Or HTC
[Nexus 9 General] mk92595:
If you can, try chatting with CS and see what they say. I'm in class so I can't do that right now
[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
I'm on the same boat, but I wonder: wouldn't it be better to just cancel Amazon order right now and do a pre-order + store-pick up with Best Buy? I went to the BestBuy website but I did not see any place where it said "Available on Nov. 3", or maybe I missed it?
[Nexus 9 General] mk92595:
The only reason I ordered with amazon was because they don't charge tax or expensive shipping
[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
Choosing the store-pick up with BestBuy saves you the shipping expense but not the tax of course. Amazon started collecting taxes for my state last year, so I no longer get much difference of buying in Amazon vs. Best Buy (the reason I choose Amazon: I dislike BestBuy in general as I think they have some shady practices in their regular day-to-day business).
[Nexus 9 General] TheDom82:
All Maria could from Amazon CS could tell me was this:

Maria C: Dominic, as what I have checked here on my end, the item that you have ordered is a pre-order and it said on the Current Website Availability is Available for Pre-order and as I have checked on the website, the item is not yet been released.

Maria C :As I have also checked here, Dominic, the delivery of the item was already expired and the active status is now Unknown, and was changed by Amazon due to availability, but rest assured that once we have the item, it will be delivered right away to you, and you will receive a confirmation email for the changed delivery date. And as much as I love to expedite the delivery, we don't have a choice since the availability is the reason why it was being changed.

clear as mud!

No, if for some reason closer to the date of shipping they give an actual date, then I'll stick with it. Especially because I got $60 off the 32GB one for using Amazon store card...so i'll bide my time and see it changes back to 11/4.
[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
I don't want to sound negative, but I'm almost certain that this change to a non-committing delivery date in Amazon (as opposed to a true date) does imply that Amazon orders won't be shipped on launch day and that availability may come even later than other places.... am I being too pessimistic? What else could this mean?
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Went to (pc world/currys) today and there was a Google representative ? got talking to him, and asked when are you guys going to stock the n9? Meaning in store. He said about Amazon, Google play, etc... so I said I want to buy in store!. He turned round and said I can't tell you? So I said is this secret? He said YES! Grrrr goodbye!

I'm just waiting for htc to have UK stock! Then i will cancel my order!!
[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
Ordered directly from HTC - US

I bit the bullet. I went on the US HTC Store (link here) and there this is what you'll see:

What made me take the jump was this: in my case, unlike Amazon, HTC does not charge sales taxes nor shipping. So I canceled my order with Amazon and ordered with HTC instead. However, you must know this: unlike Amazon that does NOT charge your credit card until the item is shipped, with HTC your credit card does get charged as soon as you submit your order (which for me is fine, money owed is money owed, right?).

We'll see how this pans out, but even in the remote case that orders are fulfilled first with Amazon than with HTC, the almost 40 bucks I'm saving on taxes makes it worth it for me (even if that means getting the shipment some days later).

:cool:

[Nexus 9 General] Hashbang173:
Do you get the 60 off if you already gave an amazon store card?
[Nexus 9 General] TheDom82:
No, it was for applying and getting it.

[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
As I posted in the other thread, I wonder what I did different when ordering with HTC as I got this:

1	Google Nexus 9 - 32G WIFi - White

Boxed Shipment

Sub-Total	$479.00

Shipping	$0.00 (3-8 day)

Tax	$0.00

Total	$479.00

And I already checked in my credit card activity and confirmed the above amount, so there was no tax, no shipping charge (granted, I got the 3-8 day service)

Does anyone know if these will be available in-store on November 3? Like, if I were to walk into my local Best Buy on November 3rd would I be able to walk out with a new Nexus 9?

Thanks for any help!
[Nexus 9 General] jarjar124:
Some stores will get it, but not every store will. You'll need to check with your local best buy to see if they will have it available at launch
[Nexus 9 General] AntiCato:
Seems to me every online retailer charges tax to NY now, including the HTC store. I might just wait a while for the Sand version and a new/sealed retailer on eBay or something.
[Nexus 9 General] ritchea:
I guess you checked with newegg. I haven't tried a fake order so I don't know if Florida is now paying tax. I didn't pay any on May 31, 2014 order. NY, of course, may be different.

Edit: I just checked and NJ is the only place in the northeast that gets taxed. Shipping is $5.99. I have no idea about availability as I'm not taking the plunge until at least a month of user reviews.

Is this advice still current?

Hi

Do I need to back up my tablet before installing this?

And is this advice still valid? I notice it is dated 2012..

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Whenever you start messing with your tablet you should have everything backed up.

Strike that. You should have any data you care about on any portable device backed up - period.

But the Unlock app will not change anything on your tablet except unlock the bootloader.

The links are probablty dead. Just go to Asus/support/downloads, select your tab, Android under OS, go to Utilities and download the Unlock apk.

Install it, run it and pray it works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Strike a little more. :)

Any data not backed up is data that will get lost eventually.

Hi,

Been following the steps in this post to get some custom ROM on my TF700T:

I'm facing the same issue as torch18 in post #464:

I have Android SDK installed from Google provided pkg on Ubuntu 12.04 from where I've tried:

I have:

Google 2-step verification turned off in Google account

Allowed Unknown Sources under security in tablet

Allowed Less Secure Apps in Google account

I'm running: Android 4.2.1, JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801

The device has not been in service.

What am I missing?

BR,

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Since Google implemented this "less secure app" setting v8 does not seem to install at all. Download v7, it should install and works fine for unlocking.

I would also recommend you install the apk by copying it to the tablet and opening it. The return in adb seems to indicate a conflict with multiple user. Do you have more than one user set up on the tab?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kari.koivuporras:

Oh and I had multiple users on the tab, but removing the extra ones didn't have an effect for V8.

This worked for me too. Thanks for the tip.

According to the ASUS Utility download page I should use Version V8 but that throws up the Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE] message. As you suggested I used V7 which ASUS says "...Only suitable for Andriod4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS version" but it worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBiggzz:
Hello!

This issue just rared it ugly head early this afternoon. My Nexus 5 would not let me make any outbound calls. I could dial the number and the dialer would just sit there, no ringing and eventually it would time out and say "out of service area" which I clearly wasn't

I would reboot the device and that still wouldn't help. Here's the kicker! I could still send text messages and I still had data capabilities.

My device is a Nexus 5

Android 4.4.4

Build KTU84P

Baseband M8974A-2.0.50.1.16

The device is unlocked and rooted.

I was on the phone with my carrier and the tech people couldn't figure out what it was. I called LG to get a RA and send the phone in to be fixed/replaced. I decided to Google a bit deeper and found there is an issue that is possibly with the baseband drivers in 4.4.4. I've hear of people changing their baseband radio before I just don't know how or if this is going to work.

I did find a work around which doesn't make sense. I had to :

Place the device in 1x network mode

Turn off the device for about a minute

Turn it back on wait for it to completely boot up

Do a test call on 1x

Change the network mode back to LTE

Make the test call again.

This work unless you update the PRL or profile or you turn the device off or reboot it.

I don't know if it's worth me sending in the device to LG to be fixed/replaced or find out how to upgrade the baseband radio.

Ideas?

Hope you can help!

Regards,

Dave

Hi guys,

Im just curious, I saw today there was a moto voice update that didnt show up in "my apps" so I searched the "moto" and found that most of the motorola apps needed to be updated. While I think I got them all was there a setting I needed to check or something so I didnt need to manually search them? Currently they are now in my apps so I should get notified, but Im just curious about it.

Thanks

Same situation for certain Google application on ALL nexus devices : when you have a new Nexus, Play Store won't show you all available updates and yes it is strange... you have to search them to see updates are available.

It was the case for "Google Talkback", and others... Same situation for Samsung Apps on GS4 and 5.

I don't know why but I consider it as a major Play Store Bug.

Once the apps are updated manually at least they show up in the "my apps" section so further updates will be easy to spot. Would be nice if they were all in there from the start.

I haven't received mine, yet. But Android Police has posted that it is out.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] esoh:
Nothing here yet. I'm rooted with stock recovery. I'm wondering if I will see the update or not?

And FWIW, I never thought that I would see this day. Of course I still have yet to see it myself to believe it. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] terra-starr:
I had to unroot by flashing stock firmware with Odin for the update to take. With root the update would fail at 25%.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] esoh:
Cool, thanks for letting me know. Can you share which unroot/flash stock firmware instructions you used? Also, were you able to reroot after?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] terra-starr:
I downloaded the firmware from sammobile (4.1.2 was the only one available) then flashed with odin. Sammobile has the basic instructions. Then the 4.4.2 OTA update worked.

I haven't tried rooting yet. But i can save my google music downloads to SD and the glitchy touch screen appears to be fixed:)

Most of the crapware can also be deactivated running stock:)

Maybe we got lucky and they unlocked the bootloader; hopefully a developer will be interested enough to check.

Downloading Update Now

Nice surprise when i picked up my Note 8.0 today and the uodate manager started the download!! Will be nice if the "stutters" the note suffers from when typing is fixed (happened as i was typing this).

If anyone is interested I am 100% stock, never rooted, nothing flashed. Dont know if its natiowide rollout but I am im rural Ohio but thew device is a Alaska # & account.

As previously mentioned it would be AMAZING if the bootloader was unlocked but im not holding my breath. And even though i am VERY pleased the update is happening I still cant throw out any " good job AT&T" comments as this, OR ANY, update is BEYOND over due.

Will post thoughts once updated and taken for a spin.

Did you full unroot afterwards the check and then took the update?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jdpk:
After selecting the checkbox within SuperSU it popped up a warning saying, essentially, that it was going to remove root, close itself, and it suggested a reboot after that.

Once clicking OK it only took a few seconds to run and then returned to my homepage.

I rebooted, ran root check which confirmed I was not rooted, and then ran the AT&T update.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] explicitKC:
Tried using the full unroot option in superSU but it kept FC'ing. So I flashed stock firmware with odin. Update worked with no problems.

Does any of the bloatware effect updating? i was thinking maybe thats why some updates are failing after unrooting. Im probably wrong just taking a wild guess.

And PLEASE if anyone gets their note to root after updating to 4.4.2 post how it was done. Thank you in advance.

I have the AT&T SGH-i467, and I got the 4.4.2 update. Woke up to the popup to upgrade. My device was not rooted, stock from AT&T. After the update it would not boot completely. It would boot to the loading screen and flash to the "desktop" on occasion, then back to the loading screen. This would continue for as long as I would allow it, it would get pretty hot while doing this as well, draining the battery. I tried clearing the cache a few times with no luck. I had to factory reset it to get it to boot properly. All is well now. I have not yet experienced the usual screen lag either.

Has anyone managed to locate a download link for this? I've unrooted, flashed back to stock via odin, etc. and cannot seem to get the update.
