I didn't have to for the multiple Nexus 4's I ordered

Sign up for UPS my choice and authorize release before it arrives

No but if you aren't home they will not drop it off there. They will leave a note and come by the next day.

They will drop it off at my house if I'm not home. I've ordered probably 4 phones off the play store and they were all left without anyone being home.

Gunny! I got [another] new phone!

Just got back from the AT&T store and they gave me a brand new phone! They didn't want to at first since I am a week past my 30 day return window but I schmoozed them for a solid hour and after saying no to me 10 times I was finally able to convince them to give me a new one. I am happy to report that this one does not have a clicky screen

That happens to me sometimes but only on a reboot and then it works fine after that. I just got off the phone with the store and they are going to swap it out for me, again.

I'm on my fourth one so I seriously think the build quality actually varies by store. Maybe I'm crazy, the first three stunk so I tried a different store. Haven't had one problem with this one.

The first phone they tried to give me had a clicky screen too! I wasn't having that lol. Made them scrap that one and give me the last One X they had in stock. Got my new one and I think I made an enemy in the process. On a side note, I just had a brutal root canal done. Waiting at walgreens for my vicodin.

All I know is this phone has some serious quality control issues. It may be because of my ocd but I'm on my 5th one. First one had a big yellow spot on the screen. Second one was getting really hot. Third one got really hot also plus I wanted to try a grey one lol. Fourth one I went back to white. It ran really cool but it had light bleed. This current one has the best looking screen and no light bleed but it runs hot and has the worst battery life out of all of them. I should have just suck with the fourth one. My biggest annoyance is the heat and crappy battery life. How can they not all be consistent in the battery life department? They have the same batteries. 5 hours with 58 mins screen on time is really unacceptable in my eyes when I was getting a day and 5 hours with 3 and a half hours screen on time consistently with the other phones. Something just doesn't want me to be happy and have everything go right. There's always gotta be something wrong. These companies need to learn to make better products.

We are early adopters and this is what we sometimes need to go through. I am completely understanding of that and frankly, I don't care if I have to exchange my phone 10 times (I'm sure Kurt at my local AT&T store does!), as long as I end up with a perfect one then I'm happy. Our other option is to wait 6 months until they get all the kinks worked out and then buy one. I'd much rather have it now and deal with the issues then have to wait until those issues get worked out before I get to play with it.

Tapatalk WTF!?

I bought the app and been having it for a while.. recently updated it to 2.4.11 and now it won't let me upload pictures.. states I have to spend more money for the unlimited photo sharing.. this wasn't terms of agreement when I bought it.. it won't even ask to upload in the forum either like it used to.. anyone else face this? Might have to go back to xda app :banghead:

It can't be compatible with both the X and XL at the same time. I suspect it's probably the one NOT compatible with our XL =(

Looking to buy one, this post has the same pic but it says it works with "HTC One X XL" whatever that means, so, does that mean it would fit?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3200mAh-Cha...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item460e8ca7cb
It almost certainly means they just don't know and it won't fit when you get it.
Don't buy it won't work. I speak from personal experience. I bought one. The fit is close, but the pogo pins just don't line up to provide power.

Sorry for the late response. I bought the white version of this and it didn't work.
Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping to get something like this for my HOXL.
Does anyone know if this will really work with AT&T model?

No idea. Tempted to buy it with bounty money and take one for the team if it doesn't fit, though.
Can anyone find one of these that ships from the US, so we don't have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to find out if it's legit?
I didn't notice this before. In pic number 3 on this page I noticed that they had an AT&T version. I am assuming that this means that this will work for our phones, maybe, hopefully.

Three UK deal

Hey guys,
Since I already posted this in another thread, I thought I would post a new topic just in case anyone misses it.
I've got a friend working in Three who is able to get yourself the S4 at £35 a month but can also give you a £30 credit and some extra minutes too :good:
If anyone is interested then feel free to give me a message
Just out of curiosity, has anyone bought the phone from Three yet? How was your experience?
BTW this isn't just exclusive to the S4, there's other phones too.
was due for an upgrade from three, got the £35/month 500 min unlimited data also got a home signal box for free as i get bad indoor coverage.

Haha
After a few PM's with several other members I thought I'd post how this works...
I simply forward your phone number and name to someone who works in Three's direct sales department based in Glasgow. They'll contact you at a specified time and discuss the phone, the plan and the offer with you. It is up to you whether you want to place your order right there and then or place the order at another time. The order must be placed over the phone however in order to qualify for the deal as this is the only way they can add the credit and minutes to the account.
Contact me for more information if you are interested :good:
As for why I'm posting this here, let's just say I owe this person a favor
Basically DarkStones mate will be getting a commison from each of you. Which I personally think is a nice thing to do, just a shame im mates with my local store manager so already have mine ordered.
Well played to you though mate!!

Not personally no, but I've heard from others that it works pretty well
Just a heads up guys, from 26th April onwards, there will be a £49 upfront cost for the phone if you buy it online or phone into inbound sales.
Of course I can get this waived for you even after this date :good: Also, this is a new contract and not an upgrade to your existing contract for those that are interested.

You wouldn't get the extra minutes and TCB may take a while to track. The credit can be applied immediately to the account by ordering directly from Three via myself. An additional £30 credit can also be added to a friend or family Three account if you have their phone number too.
I'm always suspicious of posts like this - how do we know that the 'friend' who works for Three isn't the OP.

How to activate a nexus 5 bought thru Google play on T mobile

Hey all. This may sound like a noob question but I've been on sprint for YEARS and I'm totally new to t mobile and gsm devices (I'm thrilled about the change tho). Anyhow, I'm wondering, what's the process to activate a nexus 5 that I buy thru Google play onto t mobile? T mobile hasn't started selling it yet and I'd like to order it NOW. I already have a t mobile Sim card and it fits/works with the nexus 4. What else besides just popping the Sim card in would I have to do?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
That's about it, pop it in and turn it on. Should work right off the bat.

H*ly cr*p! Are you serious? It's that easy? Why the hell would anyone wait for t mobile to start selling it? Also, if I get the device from Google BEFORE t mobile starts selling it, you think it'll still work on the network?
Thanks a lot.

This is awesome news. I just have ONE more concern. If it's not shipping for weeks or something, will Google charge my credit card right away, or not until it ships?
And finally, what's the return policy? I don't wanna return it but if for whatever reason I can't sell my note 3 I may have to.
Thanks again guys!

They will not charge you until it actually ships.
They have a 15 day return policy, but if there is nothing wrong with it you'll pay return shipping.
I ordered it. Yay!!!!! I've never ordered a nexus device straight from Google. So exciting!!!!
