Hello!
New to the forums. Im looking for a tablet currently and saw the 10.1 online for $320 refursbished through best buy. (although wal mart had it for $250 earlier today) Was just wondering if its worth the purchase. I know the new one will be out shortly, just looking at opinions from others. Thank you!

Walmart is sold out in both colors of the refurb units.
The release coming up in Sept is for the note 3 phone or are they releasing a new note 10.1 tablet also?
I really like my Note 10.1 and they would have to come out with something mind blowing for me to upgrade when a new note 10.1 comes out.

Yea i saw the walmart deal on gizmodo earlier. Best buy has it for $330 refurb. Mine consider that option as well seems to be a great tablet. Thanks for your response!
I bought mine refurbished on Woot.com for $299 and honestly it's just as good as brand new... I have been scared of refurbs before but now I think it's one of the best ways to go. even bought my wife a refurbished note 8.0 on ebay for $289 and hers is just like a brand new unit as well, plus depending on where you get it, most refurbs have a 90 day warranty (but if it turns out to be like my purchases, you won't need it)

Ordered mine the other day from Wal-Mart and got a 2 year drop, spills, whatever warranty from them for 36.00. I feel I'm covered. Looking forward to using it soon.

The only reason I'm here is because of the $249 walmart refurb deal 2 days ago. That being said it depends on where you get the refurb from. Walmart has a very good return policy and I can take it back to any physical store without restocking fees. And there were over 500 online reviews with the majority indicating that the tablet came in brand new like condition minus the original box. That was enough for me to pull the trigger.
if it's not too late i would wait unless you want a cheap tablet to hold you over, samsung are supposedly going to announce a 1080p note series 12" tablet soon so look out for it, i'm interested myself but i am still happy with the note 10.1 though.

wish i would of saw that walmart deal sooner. they have it now for $299 which still isnt bad..
I have a question for those of you purchasing Walmart refurbs: what build number shipped on your device? My daughter and a friend's daughter both purchased Walmart refurbs and arrived with UEUCMA3 and would not update through the system. It just says the latest updates have been installed- which is obviously not true. I updated my daughter's (via ODIN), but I am curious about the experience of others.
Thanks,

The best way to get the update when auto update does not work is With your computer using samsung Kies software.But ODIN Flash is fine too..
Just letting you know there is another option..
I to agree with some of the comments above. I do not think i will upgrade to the next gen note 10 tablet.my note 10.1 runs perfect and does all i want.Also its likely to be 500.00 to 600.00 . That is a alot of money. I hope my note 10.1 will be viable for another year or so.. I also would NOT WANT A tablet bigger then 10. inches . 10 inches to me is a Monster .. Giggles.
Anyway Buy buy buy...... its half price and refurbs are useally returns or non sold new devices reboxed to sell with less warranty to clear out stock..
@erica_renee, I did try kies before ODIN, same result.

Picked up a woot.com refurb for $299. It's been flawless so far.

Yes, I picked mine up from Walmart and am very happy with it. Brand new looking, only difference is the refurb packaging.
It handles everything I throw at it and don't think I will need anything new anytime this year at least.
I paid 279 which was an excellent deal in itself. 249 is insane. You could probably resell if on ebay for a profit which may be why they are now sold out.
Buy one of you get the chance!
ps . I even got the drop and spill insurance since it was so inexpensive.
I bought a refurbished one from Walmart. I went with them over Best Buy because Walmart offered a two year warranty for like $40.

I picked up one of these from Amazon refurbished for $299, great so far, although Ido have a dead pixel near the bottom right, but you can hardly tell. Otherwise you wouldnt have a clue this wasnt new. Great deal and I'm so happy to be rid of my Asus TF300, that thing was such a waste of money, slow as dirt, this thing just zips a long and I got a nice bluetooth keyboard case/stand for it as well. No complaints here

Lost out
I would say yes to the OP question.
I myself was going to purchase a second Note 10.1 and when I went to get one of the $259 refurbs at Walmart they were sold out, I lost out on a great deal.
I see the reburb units have hit Ebay now and the cheapest I see is $299, still a good deal, the seller sold over 380 white units and 130 gray and the white is about sold out.
.
Walmart should still have more. I got mine plus two years of warranty for $299 and some cents. I was actually considering getting the TF300 don't know why I chose the Note, but it was a sound investment.

This. The fear of refurbs is a weird failure the QA folks missed. $299 and a 2year warranty is a good deal. Just make sure you know how to take advantage of their warranty (receipts, boxes, etc) before you need to. Taking pictures/scans of the receipts is a very good idea if you don't need the originals. Thermograph paper doesn't last too long.
They emailed the warranty information.
Had $37 in eBay Bucks and picked this up:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Fac...1-Inch-Wi-Fi-16GB-White-GT-N8013/271152026387
Not bad for $242.
I know it just came out, but I do not need to buy one until February. Should I wait?
No you ough wait until next year when they realse the N6 i think.

If you are waiting for Google Play Store, please don't wait for them. The best you can do is get free shipping or playstore credit. For retail, the price starts to come down after a few months. If it is close to Christmas, Easter or any major holidays then there are great deals to be taken.
On a new device like this, Google doesn't usually reduce the price. They may offer additional incentives for the holiday season, such as Play Store credit, free shipping, etc., but that's about it. The price won't be reduced until just before the next nexus phone is released, probably 4th quarter 2014. Of course, there's always the possibility of some crazy event affecting the norm... but I wouldn't count on it.
Phone is already cheap for what you get. Check out the Moto G for $200.

on sale!!?? just like the other user said the moto g mite be the phone for u.. the N5 is already crazy cheap for what u get.. do be honest one of the main reasons i got the n5 is the development it gets.. this is my first nexus phone and i love it.. i have had some many top of the line phone in the past 3 years and none of them come close to the love this phone gets.. i will never get another htc one.. or a galaxy phone again... im sticking with nexus:good:
I am fine with paying $349.That is a great price for the phone. What I am trying to decide is whether to purchase it now or wait for February when I will actually get to use the phone. I want to purchase it now, so that I can have it already. However, if it it might get reduced between now and then, it would be wise to wait. In the past have the prices stayed constant until the new model came out?

It dont get any better than what the price is on play store. Hell, I got a 32GB one and it was cheaper than what T-Mobile wanted for it. There's your savings lol

I'm done with Galaxy phones too. I booted up my S4 today to update it to the new MK2 OTA update because I'm getting it ready to sell. After a few weeks with my N5 I had already forgotten what a pain in the a$$ Knox is. Never again!
Hello everyone,
I'm a Xperia Z2 owner but as I'm starting to get into developing I'm looking to get a Nexus 5. I'm from the Netherlands and if I'd like to hear from others that got theirs here as well. Where did you get it, for how much, any bad experiences with it so far?
On another note, Android L might be coming out soon so I'd really like to be one of the 'first' to try it out via a Nexus device.
Well that's my short story. Hope to see you all around in these forums!

I have it for 3 months and love it, the Z2 has a better CPU and more ram but the N5 doesn't need that to be the best. I got mine from coolblue but there are stores where you can get it for cheaper
Well I've found one on Belsimpel for 327 so yeah. I don't mind the spec bump down. I'm looking for the 16gb version since I don't plan to fill it with much as everything I need is on a cloud-based service.
I have a Galaxy S5 and may be getting the 32GB version from Google Play for 399 euro`s. Or i wait a while longer and bit to get the Nexus 6 on release. Nexus devices are still the best imo but after a while i get boared and want to try another device
Ordered it from Belsimpel. Shipping was very fast. Ordered it from there because the other shops in Holland didn't have the black one in stock on that moment.

Got mine from belsimpel.nl as well, but nowadays it seems the device costs a lot more at their website. However, I really like the N5, but did have a problem with the camera. And when you want belsimpel to get it repared, count on a very long time untill you'll get your device back. Very bad service...
Just picked up a refurbished N5 on T-Mobile for $140 This thing looks brand new. Its already updated to 5.1.1 but no 6.0 yet. I know it was released 2 weeks ago. Has anyone on the N5 gotten the 6.0 update OTA yet or is it all side loading?

received it ota this week, just be patient, the updates aren't pushed to all N5 at the same time.
I received my notification on n5 and n9 a few days ago. I normally do sideload because of root and custom kernel but away from my pc for a few more weeks.

Anyone else do a preorder for the LGv20? I ordered one through Avant and noticed the one other person who preordered was also coming from a note 7.
I'll be picking my unit up October 31. Fortunately within the refund window of my note 7
I'm thinking of preordering one. I hear the dual sim version that we will get also has fm radio enabled. Not to mention the free extra batt and 200sd card. Does the B&O headphone come with it?
According to the sales person I talked to, it comes with both the free battery and b and o headphones. Wasn't able to ask about the FM radio. Avant in greenbelt has a display unit that you can play with so you can go check that out. I don't know if other branches will have display units...I only went and preordered in avant. No LG store in Makati..
Update. I went back to the store I ordered the unit from and talked w the sales person there. Seems LG Philippines didn't think they would need that many sd cards that they bundled with the pre order. All preorders from last Saturday onwards will have the sdcards to follow because they didn't order enough.
Heard the avant Makati branch has around 35 pre ordered units while the mega mall preorders reached more than a thousand already. No idea about other pre order stores.
Does Avant Makati have enough SDs? I am planning to preorder on the 28th.

The person I talked to said all orders from last Saturday onwards will be affected by the limited stocks. You can try giving them a call before you go
Ok I just preordered today. The waiting game starts now...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Labs
Release date October 31,Monday. A very weird date to release a phone.
I know. Why a Monday? Should have done it on a Saturday. But at least it's a holiday.
Even their pre orders started on a weekday...
I can't wait.. Lol
I'm going to miss my note 7 though...
Most of the v20 sales came from ex note 7 users. So Samsung really dropped the ball here. Funny how they asked what was our old unit when we did the pre order. Did they always use to do that? Or just now? To see if the note buyers move to them?
I already purchased a clear ringke fusion while waiting for it. Im also planning on getting a dbrand skin. Just not sure what color to get atm.

Someone posted the retail package in another group for philippine release. Two batteries and the b&o headset is already in the box. I only wished that extra batt came with a charging kit for more convenience.

Anyone did the reservation in Abenson?
I did. No word from Avant yet but other stores including LG already began releasing it to those who preordered yesterday. Oh well...
just got mine today, one 200Gb Sandisk sdcard, two 3200mAh battery and a B&O earphone... but sadly, no charging kit...
How are the included earphones? They are b&o but they dont look like h3s as far as I can tell.
Are you using dual sims? Do they both get lte or do you need to set up which one thatll use it?
I'm still in the fence here. I still have till monday to decide.

Got mine as well. I think someone mentioned the SD card.. It's 200g.. Not 2 hehe.

Yes, both sim supports LTE, but not at the same time, the B&O IEM are not the H3, they are much cheaper than the H3, and much rounder, probably give you a better fit, cound be made by LG with B&O logo, could be wrong, but the built quality is considered good.
I just got mine today from cmk. It came this morning and was supposed to come on the 31st but they allowed me to pick it up today. They didn't predict so many pre orders so I have to get the 200gb SD card a week from now. It comes with an extra battery and headphones but no extra battery cradle. For those who have it, does the light breed on the upper left? Other than that it's perfect!
