I checked 3 Verizon stores yesterday and none had received any white.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islanderbob654:
I was the second person at the Dowtown Crossing store in Boston yesterday and they had only received black. The rep checked stores in something like a 50 mile radius and he said no one had them. I didn't check with authorized retailers, however.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommer2:
They sold out in the online pre-order.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete3423:
I pre-ordered the white on 9/21, they

cancelled

my order "due to stock shortage" and didn't feel the need to tell me. I had to call and find this out for myself after I didn't get a shipping notification by end of day yesterday... Now I am in the 'by the 31st' group. I did get overnight shipping and 2gb data for year for my troubles....oh well, back to waiting :mad:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glock115:
I ordered it yesterday with Saturday shipping, supposedly ships on the 31st.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake21:
I received my white preorder (best buy); but as someone else said not enough of them to fulfill preorders; maybe next week. I think the white one is a lot nicer than the black one but I prefer the icons on the note 2 to the icons on note 4 (well dialer anyways)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shpotik:
Yes they are. I assume they sold out all white phones with pre orders. I grabbed the black one for now. I have 14 days to switch it to the white one hopefully they'll have them by then otherwise I'm stuck with the black one.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] TenderloinShadow:
So I just ordered my N9, but I can't find anyplace that has the keyboard folio in stock. Any help here?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Pilz:
I'm surprised that it sold out, even on amazon. I'll keep looking and see if I can find it.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] olearyp:
It's not sold out. It's not yet available. (Officially "Coming soon" on the Play store.)

EDIT: hmm my sig still says CM10, that's out of date!
[Nexus 9 Accessories] TenderloinShadow:
Ok cool. Even tho its overpriced i want that keyboard. I want to use this tablet for basically all my mobile computing needs. And for that i need a good keyboard.

-Backlit

-Carrying pouch

-Not a fkn ripoff

-Easily replacable in case of accident

-Will not add bulk to tablet
[Nexus 9 Accessories] MxSpyApp:
Sure you to the store to buy. or on Amazon or ebay
[Nexus 9 Accessories] flippingout:
That is a nice looking keyboard but for me I prefer having the keyboard in a case. I have a tablet bluetooth keyboard but it is a pain to use because it is not attached to the tablet. Also makes it a pain when travelling. Having it all in one is a major benefit to me. I would imagine it won't be too long before other keyboard cases come out.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mk92595:
It adds more bulk to the tablet. This comes with a carrying pouch if you have a backpack to put it in.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] jerryhere:
you can try to find on kingsbuying,but i am not sured if they offer the model as you want ,

i just knew they got a lot of cheap price keyboards online ,you can check to confirm .
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Lokke9191:
Wow that's either a very useless post or a shameful plug for some random website. Either way ill assume they don't carry the specific keyboard folio the op is looking for, and not go to that site ever.

Hi,

I want to do android full disk encryption, there is option in menu, it just dont work. After clicking it and entering my lock screen password, all I get - is fullscreen green android logo. After that I can press the home button and use device, however there is no notification bar.

I am using PA 4.4.4 (20140723) on Samsung galaxy Note 2

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazy:
I am just extremely frustrated with Best Buy for this Note 4 preorder business. I placed my preoder on 10/9. They said when it is here and ready to pick up, we will send you an email. I have not received an email yet, but it has almost been a full week since preorders have been out. (This is specifically in regards to NYC). It baffles me they are not receiving any Sprint Note 4's (regardless if you ordered the black or white version), but they have all the other carriers (with the exception of Verizon). I've been calling Best Buy on the daily to get an understanding as to why the phone has not arrived yet. Everyday is a different answer. I've had one rep tell me it's Samsung's fault because they haven't shipped them out to us. Another rep told me that they do have some coming in but their delivery days into the store are Wed and Fri. Another rep told me we will get them when we get them and just look out for our email.

What is the point of preordering a phone when it doesn't come in and it is already released to the rest of the market? And how do you not give a customer a valid reason as to why the phone is not yet in your store but rather say oh this is a city wide issue? Shouldn't you try to find out as to what is going with the shipment seeing how this is a FLAGSHIP PHONE for Samsung and why is it only the SPRINT version with no delivery? The sad thing is that I used to work for Best Buy about a decade ago, and the service that we gave was better. :eek::mad::(

Anyone else running into this issue with Best Buy?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egodriver07:
Yep. Same issue here with my wife's white sprint phone. I even preordered both the same day as you, the 9th, but I got my black one release day, hers, I get the same exact run around you are getting. It really sucks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey121215:
I preordered mine the day preorders opened up and got an email may Thursday night that my phone had arrived and I could pick it up
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wineguy:
I placed my pre-order on 09/26/2014 with the ship to home option to avoid the short shipped supplies to the stores. It finally came on Wednesday and I activated it after work. When I went into the store for my price match (I was billed at $349.99 but they dropped it to $299.99), the store manager told me he can't do anything for me because it was an online order. When I asked for my $200 pre-order/rebate via Samsung, he told me that the promotion was changed and it had to be the phone that was on the line that got the upgrade. I told him that when I placed my pre-order, that was not the case and I expect the promotion listed at the time of my pre-order honored. He again told me that he couldn't do anything for me. After several attempts at calling 888-best-buy and remaining on hold for 15+ minutes each time, I just sent an email off to customer service. It's ridiculous how they really screwed the pooch on this whole pre-order process and now are trying to cheat me out of $250! Definitely the last time I pre-order anything from WORSTbuy, maybe last purchase period....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Pre-ordered mine on 10/15, called BestBuy about 30-35 times (from 17 to 22) and as result they change my "expedite" shipping to "express" shipping. Enough for me to receive phone on evening of 22nd.

Every time I called them I heard same crap "tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow" and on 21st I was told that my delivery will be on 20th??? Yes, day before which already passed. WOW, what a service, they deliver into "past time". I exploded and got mine on 22nd as mentioned earlier.

I believe this might be my last pre-order with best buy ever...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filebug:
i preordered mine the week preorders came available. when i checked on my preorder i found out i don't really have a preorder and have to wait to see if any extra's show up. I have given up calling as that is useless. Im just gonna sit back and wait to see if i can get one if not i guess i just won't upgrade to a new phone. Lesson learned i will never preorder from best buy again i don't care if they give me a million dollars off my upgrade it just isn't worth it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffolkes:
I'm so fed up with this crap. I suggest contacting your favorite android news sites and imploring them to give this issue more coverage. Maybe then the higher-ups at these multibillion dollar corporations will finally have something to say about why those who preordered still don't have their devices, or even a rough ETA.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LMMT:
I'm in the same boat, as the rest of you.

I've called the store, and the customer service line, every day. It is definitely Best Buys fault. They try to put the blame on Sprint, but I know several people on AT&T, with the same problem. In the AT&T forums, Best Buy, told them them it was AT&Ts fault.

So, as I said a couple of days ago, either AT&T and Sprint, are working together, to sell less phones, and get less people locked into two year contracts, or Best Buy is responsible for this mess.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffolkes:
Why would Sprint not want me to renew my contract? Even if they do away with unlimited data they can still affect that change regardless of my contract renewal, so I'm confused why you're saying that. :P
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LMMT:
I'm agreeing with you. I'm just giving two possible scenarios. One ridiculous possibility, where Sprint and AT&T, are working together, in a conspiracy to sell less phones, and less two year contracts. The other (real) scenario is, it's ALL BBs fault. (BB blames Sprint, when talking to Sprint customers, and AT&T, when talking to AT&T customers). They refuse to acknowledge their incompetence.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigfamei:
I'm in the same boat. And this will DEFINITELY be the last thing. I ever purchase from best buy.

I think they don't want to honor the 200 credit on ****ty phones. The credit is suppose to end Next saturday.

Lets see what happens then. If they extend it or just let it expire then. If the shortage is so bad. Why do other stores

have plenty of stock? It Bestbuy is just screwing us.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Had no problem here with a black Note 4 preorder. They even held it 2 extra days for me while I was at the BABBQ. Not only that but they let me trade in 2 old phones and gave me $200 each, which paid for the 2 years insurance too!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistolcity:
Bestbuy screwed up on this one definitely. I ordered my Note 4 on 10-16 and it started off rough. Found out the associate did not update my email address and told me my phone would be available the 17th. I had to gain access to the account called the store and the customer service line friday sat and sun to run around, i dont knows and our next shipments. Finally i got fed up and sent a letter to a corporate member of Bestbuy with my experience and telling them I more than likely would not be buying another phone from them. Its one thing to tell customers hey your phone won't be available until next week up front. Cool i know how it works and backordering can suck. But to tell people paying their money that you just have to wait, we dont know and be patient is unacceptable. Explained the customers are there first priority and are the reason they are successful and deserve communication regardless. Basically, the end story is i'll be getting a gift card in the mail. I also got a call promptly the next morning that my phone was available. Smh.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chessx:
See i thought this was just me, same issue of pre-ordering on 10/9 except the employee was new and didnt even do the preorder it correctly for me, just charged me for a $50 gift card, found out when i went 10/17 to get phone, have called every day since and nothing now i was reading the $200 trade in is only valid till 11/1?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Samsung promotion had nothing to do with Bestbuy preorder.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frazy:
Update - So I got an email yesterday morning that my phone was ready to pick-up. You basically have a 24 hour WINDOW to pick up your phone after they email you. How does one set a capped window period to pick up a new phone when the preorders are LATE to begin with? I mean we are waiting and waiting but we could not even be in town when this email comes. I think there is something wrong with that whole system. Anyways, I was lucky that I had a Best Buy Mobile Manager taking care of me. They did honor the $200 credit (after I had to remind him). Purchase Price = $126 (after $200 trade-in) plus some change. The phone itself is a beast (everything from the screen to the materials is awesome). In terms of accessories, I would suggest you guys buy all your **** before and have it ready because Best Buy does not really have many accessories in store. Also, there were issues with activation while in store. The manager called Sprint and they had said that their provisioning services were down nationwide so I had no service for about 4-6 hours. All in all, don't preorder from Best Buy unless you want the hassle. LESSON LEARNED
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
A while back, just after the Samsung promotion was announced, I fired off an email to Samsung asking them to do something better with an offer at Best Buy. An instant trade in credit on any working smart phone and $50 upgrade bonus on top of that should satisfy most US buyers and leave a lot of others not so fortunate, envious. Had the phones been broadly and readily available and Best Buy chains fully aware of the policies, this would have been a hit that many would have been happy with and look to replicate with repeated patronage. My local BB got it right with some pre-launch dialogue and not so good broad communication on the terms of any working smart phone looked up as $0/recycle. The word was put out to other mobile assistants while I was there, the third person in line. They seemed to have stock and were even trying to get customers the color they preferred. Mileage varies; sorry not everyone got the same or better experience. But to me this was a win and would pre-order there again. I don't think it was all Best Buy's fault. Ample and broad stock may have made this much better of an experience for most. Add it's good to hear that Best Buy is honoring the terms for those in-store pre-orders that were late. Some stores also made exception before hand on terms to satisfy those made online to home delivery because the pre-orders were longer being taken. Cheers and congrats to all who got the terms right. Regards to those that didn't or weren't eligible.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urbanlink:
Pretty sure this whole thing is due to best buy overselling the 200 trade in credit. It runs until 11/1. Guaranteed on 11/2, note 4 's will be available for people walking in. Every sprint store in the area has them readily available. This is not just sprint either, best buy has no stock for any carrier and still has not full filled their preorders. At least within 100 mile radius of costa mesa ca. Bummer it was a good deal. Also if your pre order comes in after 11/1 supposedly the 200 trade in deal is out the window, said my local store.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigfamei:
That's my thought. That's why I picked it up at the sprint store.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffolkes:
Best Buy's semi-official stance is that they will be honoring trade in's for all preorders, as mentioned here.

While I don't hesitate to think poorly of Best Buy, this was a multi-million dollar ad campaign - my local stores were slathered in banners, signs, stands, displays, etc touting the $200 trade in FOR PREORDERS ONLY, not to mention the press spreading word (blogs, etc). I can't see how Best Buy could just renege on the the core and only aspect of their advertising, especially after money has already changed hands. Now on the other hand, I think anyone wanting to buy within the extended offer period (non-preorder) will be out of luck, as incoming stock is going to preorders instead and by the time that equalizes the promotion will be over.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil'sRival:
Is bb making y'all activate the phone at purchase or can you do it later?

My wife will be upgrading both our lines while I'm at work. I don't want to be without service and our cases haven't came in yet so I want to wait a couple days.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdverley:
If you buy the phone outright for full retail then you dont have to have it activated. If you want the subsidised price or you are doing easypay they you would have to activate at the store.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george1614:
You can activate when you like. It's easy to do. Im in California, i got my note 4 a few days early when i pre-ordered on the 15th.

One I received in mail was not activated but I got in the store they activated. Process in store was taking too long and I asked them to leave and activate myself, they said "we cannot let you leave until phone is activated".
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:
Not sure about Best Buy, but Sprint does NOT make you activate. Last year I got the Note 3 on EasyPay and only paid like $50 up front for taxes. I asked if I could activate it once I got home and the Sprint employees didn't care, so I walked outta the store with my Note 3 still steal sealed in the box!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil'sRival:
They made me activate the phone since I was doing a 2 year upgrade. They didn't have a problem swapping it for my old phone till I get a case though.

I'm pretty sure that a best buy employee got fired or written up after screwing up our upgrade. My wife drove an hour to get the note 4 and the s5. Four hours later they had her on the stupid easy pay after being told to do a regular upgrade. She left thinking everything was fine until I got home and looked at the paperwork. Had to drive to another bb the following day and they couldn't give her back the note because of some problem with the return process. Said to come back and it should be in the system. Did that and of course there was a different issue. Luckily they had 2 notes in stock and she exchanged the s5 on my line and upgraded her line. Way too much crap to deal with but we got them for $50 each and the tax was applied after the gift cards. I got stuck with a white phone but at least I have it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord-Anubis:
1. It's not just Sprint.

2. It's normally not a problem for people that pre-ordered, but regular buyers.

3. You should talk to a manager in person, Sales Associates really aren't privvy to too much info.

I think your pre-order was sold to someone else on accident and they are covering their tracks.

Since the Tmobile Z3 has a locked Bootloader, I don't if I could bring myself to live without Root. Yes, I know an exploit may one day find us, but there is no guarantee. Does anyone know if there are any other Z3 variants that are fully compatible with Tmobile bands, or is the Tmobile version the only option?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paperWastage:
the Z3 D6616 is the only one with band 12

If you can live without it (or your area doesn't have band 12), then get the D6603/D6633/D6643 version

Skip the D6653
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariussilverwolf:
The D6603 (International) Version will work on the T-Mobile network. It will lack the following features:

Band 12 LTE (better building penetration due to the lower frequency)

Wi-Fi Calling

All other "T-Mobile" branded software (e.g. T-Mobile TV)

You'll also lose ~16 GB internal storage, so I recommend picking up a MicroSD and changing the camera settings to save to external SD.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willstilson:
Sorry about that

I can live without WiFi calling, as I don't use it now. 16GB isn't a deal breaker since I use MicroSD. Band 12 is Tmobile's 700Mhz, correct? Afaik, that isn't available in my area (NYC) anyway, so I'm not sure I'd miss it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariussilverwolf:
Based on the one (reliable?) map I can find, NYC does not have LTE 12 support yet due to signal conflicts with existing broadcaster, but otherwise have the equipment in place to turn up the signal once agreements are made and existing stations move to new spectrums.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eNkrypt:
It would appear that after I enabled ART that it needs to "Optimize Apps" every reboot. When I first enabled it and after first reboot it had to optimize around 360 apps - which is certainly normal because that's the whole point of Android Runtime - However, what I did not expect to happen is that upon every reboot it has to optimize about 60 or so apps every time.

Maybe I have a wrong understanding of how ART works:

Without ART, android apps and even some system apps are available as interpreted code rather than compiled code. Interpreted code is compiled at runtime and is being interpreted on the fly hence JIT. This affects the performance throughout the app lifecycle and not only during launch time. Scrolling, transitions, fluid motions, etc are all affected. This explains why iOS or WP run apps faster even on slower hardware. This is because they run native machine code and not interpreted code like Android. WP and iOS has no middle ground between apps and machine. Google on the other hand had to tackle issue of multiple hardware configurations for each device. Knowing that, interpreted code was the obvious solution. Now with ART, interpreted code will be compiled upon installation making the app on android native to the system. Apps won't run on a virtual machine anymore. This will save CPU power, that will impact positively and dramatically on the battery life, which in the end will make applications run way faster. Think about ART as a compiler for interpreted code. The more optimized the compiler, the faster and more optimized the application will be.

That being said, my understanding of ART is that it should only optimize once, that is - after the app has been installed.

Correct me if I am wrong, but ART should decrease BootTime instead of Increasing it.

Right now my BootTime is a lot longer because it is optimizing Apps each time (The same number of apps)
