[DISCUSSION] Google Nexus Devices in Portugal - Android General

I made this thread for all the portuguese members of XDA that want a Nexus device, but unfortunally they can't. If you go to the portuguese Google webpage, you will only see the Galaxy Nexus as a buying choice so, you can't either get the Nexus 10, 7 or Q, and this also happens to official stores. Simply, you can't find a one of those 3 devices for sale in Portugal on any store, but for some reason on Spain (and pratically all european countries) the devices appear on the website and you can buy them(Spain is next to Portugal).
Google, why do you hate us!?

Status update: today, 2nd November, the Nexus 7 start being sold!

The Nexus 7 yes, but it will be long till we see a Nexus 10 here.. Damn!

Yeah, probably it will that as long has the Nexus 7... and I wanted to buy it on Christmas

Which doesn't makes sense..we should give props to Apple in that..Devices are available soon after they were presented. As for the Nexus 10, only way is to go and buy it on Spain.

exactly. If Google wants to raise up their sales, they shuold really start selling in portugal :/

Google isn't really relying in Portugal to boost up their sales..Our market is small, that's why.

Unfortunally yes... Well I guess I have to wait for the next year to buy the Nexus 10, or I'll have to go for the Transformer Pad TF300T

If I really wanted it, I would buy it in Spain. I do want the Nexus 7 for now..so it's all good for me

I guess I will buy the Nexus 7 too maybe

Subscribed.. as portuguese is lame we must go to spain or uk to buy the n4.

Maybe somebody should do a petition... but I guess there wouldn't really be a lot of people signing for it...

Where i can sign?

there is no petition yet, but you can go ahead and make one

Fnac
I've brought a few books in the French Fnac website and asked them to be delivered in a Portuguese Fnac without extra fees. Going to contact them when Fnac.fr starts announcing the Nexus 10.

Thank you for the info. I guess Spain FNAC will do that too (hopefully).

An "update": on FNAC (and Worten too), the Nexus 7 is only selling the 32 GB version, for 249€. The price is fair (keep in mind that the dollar prices are always unfairly not changed for euro, for example, this tablet costs 249$ for the 32 GB version and in Portugal the same version costs 249€, but the fair price would be about 195€). There is still nothing on the Play Store, only about the Nexus, just like on Brazil.

Fnac and ElCorteIngles
I've contacted the Portuguese Fnac and they say they can't receive these items from other countries.
I'm now contacting the Spanish ElCorteIngles because they send to Portugal this kind of items for 14€. This price includes transport and insurance.
If we have to go to Spain to get it, which city would you go to? Badajos? They have an ElCorteIngles there. Do you know any other shops?

I don't really know any stores on Spain, I would have to do research - but something close to Porto

BIG-ASS UPDATE: Play Store is now showing the Nexus 7 too!! But we can't buy them directly from the Play Store, we have to choose a reseller, but still it's awesome
Something I noticed: It says that the Galaxy Nexus will " soon have JellyBean" when the updates are already out.
Also, in the page title, it says Nexus Q, but it doesn't shoq up on the page itself.

490 Euros... That's $600+ USD.
A new TP bought without a contract would be 500 USD and with taxes, would be about $540 USD.

Get dotfred Task Manager and use its Registry Editor to make the changes

Or you can flash a cooked ROM and use an AZERTY SIP keyboard, I think monx made an FR localized ROM

32GB MicroSD - working in Desire

Just quick confirmation if anyone was looking for this.
Will be great when they get full root and we have apps2sd...
Yep, ideal!
You think they will ever fix this within android (without root)? I'm hoping froyo will fix it and i have a feeling we will be seeing it at google io in may
Cool, have had mine on pre-order since beginning of April, supposed to be released April 21st. can't wait to fill it up with music, will leave a few gigs of space though for photos and videos and maybe a movie or two.
Where is a place I can buy a 32gb MicroSD? Clove didn't stock one and I couldn't see one on eBay or shopbot.com.au...
Although not much help for you if you're in Oz, here in the UK, several companies are taking advance orders for 30th April delivery, including Expansys, Play and MyMemory.
If you're really in a hurry, Sandisk's own store are showing them in stock for £143, about a £50 early adopter tax.

Oh ok so they're new... They'll likely drop in price and go global soon enough.
@NZtechfreak
Thanx for the tip mate, awesome
For some reason I thought Android 2.1 didn't support that size yet!!
As for prices ScanDisk 32GB is for £89.99 on Play free delivery!

They work, however Android can't format them yet. Expected to be fixed in the next version.
so is 89 pounds the cheapest option at the moment?
where do you buy?

If you are asking me it is Play.com
Bear in mind that at Play.com they're taking pre-orders. As with everyone else (apart from SanDisk), delivery is due at the end of the month.
ok, thanks
The picture of the 32GB is different on play.com to sandisk.co.uk
In fact there are 4 different 32GB MicroSD cards on play.com.
Would someone mind posting the exact link to the one that works with the HTC Desire ?
I just don't want to purchase the wrong one or I would never forgive myself ;-)

WHat do you think of these ebay listings -- I am sure they are cheap knockoffs.. I have seen ebay remove about 15 other listings, so when there is smoke, there is usually fire... but.... THESE listings i have not seen removed. They show packaging as well as the microSD card. Long time to ship, but is this worth trying?

Er, I'd avoid that one I think, unless its a power seller with >98% positive feedback in which case I might take the risk if it meant saving a little money Vs purchasing direct from Sandisk.
I think ordering from Sandisk is the way to go right? No worries that you're getting a knockoff...
If you live outside the US/UK, and have no access to an online Sandisk store, then you can use Shipito to get your hands on one (its what I did).
Quite a lot of these cards have been sold on eBay from Hong Kong for between £15 - £40 (mostly £20 - £30) with free delivery. I can't believe they're genuine.

It is on sale now through ATT...

The site is trying to charge me $200, I hope it is a glitch. Apparently non commitment pricing is only $399

Ohhhhhh, what is this Xora and how much will it cost me I wonder?
I can't quite figure it out but I think it is $16.99 a month
This is the breakdown of what Xora is, I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole, hahaha.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/AT-T-Intros-Xora-GPS-Locator-Phone-Tracking-Solution-116128.shtml
Why anyone would want to buy that when HTC SENSE does it for free when you buy the phone is beyond me.
Source: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sense-online-portal-open-for-desire-hddesire-z-users-07106331/
Quoted directly from HTC press release:
"Ever had a moment when you couldn’t locate your phone, or even left a mobile phone somewhere? HTCSense.com gives users peace of mind should this ever occur. You can easily locate a missing phone by triggering the handset to ring loudly, even if it is set to silent, or to flag its location on a map. If the phone’s been lost or stolen, users can remotely lock the phone, forward calls and texts to another phone, send a message to the phone to arrange its return or even remotely wipe all personal data from it."
This Xora scheme and not offering Unlimited Data is whats killing the company, when will they wake up and realize this?
Iphone isnt the end of the world but its the other 'In' device other than Android phones of course so why not bring back at least unlimited data to prevent people from jumping ship to another carrier?
Its funny, a few days ago I threatened to cancel and they said they couldn't give it to me because I never had it in the first place and to contact corporate.
Why iPhone users are granted exclusivity to that feature is phonecist as well, hahaha. Yeah I know I made up a word.
Anybody figure out how to order off premier and NOT get the Xora crap ?
its $99.99 new or upgrade plan without xora... if it wont let you do it online just go in to the store.
I just got mine for 69.99 at the att store locally. They will price match the website, dont let them say they wont. Also no zora either. 75$ and sum change out the door.
You can also call ATT Premier Services and speak with them directly.
Got my Inspire for 49.99 because I *****ed about " not beign able to order online " due to some glitch with there website.
Been a customer with ATT / Cingular for 8 years now. They may seem like they don't care but trust me, if the first person you talk to gives you ****, just request to speak with a manager and have them pull some strings.
49.99 with no activation fee.. great deal
What glitch were you getting exactly? I'm thinking of calling later and trying to get a deal.

For sale - htc one - smashed screen ! Uk

For sale - htc one - smashed screen !
I`m selling my HTC one, I left it sitting on a unit in my bathroom and knocked over the soap dish which could not have hit it any sweeter than what it did, The corner of the soap dish landed slap bang on the center of the screen... The phone still works perfectly, you can make calls etc and all features work as normal,.. except it needs a new screen and digitzer !
The phone itself has a couple of speckles on the back of it, Its the black ONE and I had the htc flipcase on it since new, If you do a google search you will see there are a lot of people that this has happened to with that particular case,. I replaced the case with an otterbox, ironically if I had of still had the htc case on it it would have protected screen...
The phone is unlocked and unbranded, It was bought from phones4u simfree for £490,.. Im open to sensible offers, Im sure it will be an easy fix for someone! It comes with original box, charger and accessories that came with it and original receipt also.
If anyone wants to buy it I cannot post it until wednesday as my new phone is not coming until tuesday! It will be sent royal mail tracked. I can take payment via bank transfer or paypal..
Lastly It has Modaco switch rom installed and if rooted, I can unroot and flash back to stock WWE rom if desired but I would recommend sticking with switch tbh
Any questions feel free to ask !
Images do not seem to be working on this site but you can see them on modaco http://www.modaco.com/topic/364219-for-sale-htc-one-smashed-screen/

XDA is not the place the sell stuff, ever. The marketplace was shut down. Try Swappa (link on the front page) or eBay.

[Q] Best Nexus 5 Retailer

I live outside US, and I am planning to visit US in the following weeks.
I want to buy a (non-contract) Nexus 5 by paying cash, I can not buy from Google Play Store.
I looked at BestBuy, but it seems they are selling Nexus 5 16GB version for $499.
So, is there any other retailer that has a reasonable price?
Thanks.

For 30 euro`s more you have a international N5 16GB with easier warranty (geographicly) and LTE comptability on Amazon for instance.
BTW on top of the 399 USD price you also have to pay for taxes and shipping.
Please stop spamming XDA forum. This is your 4th thread about buying a Nexus 5 now. 1 thread is enough! Please re-use your existing threads instead of creating new ones.

Please keep it to one single thread. we don't want to keep coming up on the same thread every week. Just post it once and leave it at that. This is a developers forum, not a "help me buy a nexus 5" forum, so one thread would easily suffice.
Thank you!
