Android Developer Lab - Nexus One Android Development

The first stop of the current Android Developer Lab World Tour was last night in Austin, TX. Did anyone attend? Tell us about it!
I'll be at the one this Tuesday in D.C.

Too bad registration is closed. Let us know how it goes

Free N1s in Europe...Free droids in texas.
Obviously I regret not trying to sign up for the NYC one next week.

Free Droids? Really? Where did you hear that?

Via Twitter.
Just search the event name.

Wow. So I see. Awesome. I wasn't expecting that.

Best Buy Appointments?

What? I preordered the EVO 3D @ BestBuy and they said to come in the day it's released, NOTHING else. What is this appointment business I keep reading on about? Should I call them and schedule an activation? (lol)
Did they take your number down? They are supposed to call you a day or two before release to schedule the pick up appt. You should be okay but follow up with them on Thursday if you haven't heard anything by then

I'm hoping my Best Buy didn't have many preorders before me. I just barely went in a few days ago but I only have til the 30th to swap out this Nexus. I can't stand the crappy radio on this thing.
Called my Best Buy where I reserved today. The girl stated that she would call on Wednesday to setup the appointment. I was first on the list btw.
I went into my Best Buy and asked the guy if I should preorder it. He said it wasn't even worth it and to just come in on Friday... Anyone know why he said this? They just not have many preorders or what? I am pumped tho!
As of lunch today when i was called to schedule an appointment i was told that there were only 9 pre-orders and alot more in stock

Yea I asked the guy and he's like don't even worry about it. He even asked the other guy working with him and he is the one who said its not even worth it. Hopefully I still get one. I'm gonna get there at like 9:50 since they open at 10 here. I assume I will get one. If not that'll be upsetting. I'm excited. Been using my Hero for like a year now and am so tired of it
F*CK best buy. I called them today and they said they haven't called anybody yet to make appointments and I'm not guaranteed to get one even tho I pre ordered when they first started the secret pre order. They said they have to see how many they get so I asked what number am I and he said he doesn't know and can't tell me. Assholes lol. I'm gonna keep calling and show up Friday and if I don't get one I'm gonna kick there table over. Hopefully somebodies there with a evo3d and could record me going to jail in 3d.

I just got a call from Best Buy. They wanted to set up an appointment with me. Al though I had to say I couldn't come in on Friday and asked if I could come in another day and they said I could but I wouldn't need an appointment. They only do appointments on the 24th. I haven't recevied my student loan yet (yes I use my student loan money for an Evo 3D) so I can't really afford the phone. I really hope they stop being so lazy and actually process my application. Lazy government worker.
Well, the post got outta hand, but just wanted to say that my BB in SoCal did call for appointments.

Lazy government worker > kid using student loan money to buy a phone
Just sayin'
I called BB to see if I had missed their call. They said they haven't received the shipment yet. They took my appt time and said they were getting 30 phones and when I signed up I was # 13 on the list, two weeks ago
The only call I got from them was last night the guy called and asked if I wanted an invisible shield screen protector preinstalled.
I declined and asked if they would call to set up and appointment and he said no. They were opening at 8am on Friday and just to come in anytime on the 24th and pick mine up. He said they were in the process of putting the preordered ones aside and were going to install the screen protectors for people who wanted them(for an extra charge) over the next couple days so they would have time to cure.
BestBuy called me yesterday and I scheduled my appointment today for friday @ noon. (was the earliest I could do it).

Given the fact that my dad and brother pay 50% income tax and an additional 25% tax on everything they buy, I see nothing wrong loaning money _WITH INTEREST_ from the Swedish government to pay for my expenses. Somethings got to give after paying so much tax.
Just sayin'
They called me this afternoon around 1. Set up my appointment right when they opened since I'm preorder #1.

Preordered on monday, but store wont let us pick it up until tomorrow!

i am fuming right now. spoke with store manager on monday and got my preorder as a silver premier member expecting it the next day. they said i wouldnt get it until today.
today, coworker goes in to pick it up and they wont let us pick it up until tomorrow! they say that the phone cant be activated until the actual launch date, but thats such BS. people have been activating and using their EVO3D for a couple days now! i spoke to one of the reps saying that premier customers get it 3 days ahead and its even on their website!
freakin raging and just wanted to vent since ive been looking forward to this phone all year.
So. Much. Derp.

Ok, since several have already so eloquently described how you are completely mistaken and have no reason to be upset, let me explain.
Tuesday morning at midnight sprint.com started allowing orders on the web site for the phone, the people that have them now are those who ordered online after that time. The phone doesn't officially go on sale until 6/24. A pre-order simply guarantees that there will be one waiting there for you once the phone goes on sale to the general public. Most retailers are opening an hour early to fulfill pre-orders and let those individuals get their phones and accessories before the general sale. Therefore, unless you ordered from sprint.com, you have to wait till the 24th to get the phone. I pre-ordered on 5/25 and I still have to wait till tomorrow to get my phone.

If you purchase from a Sprint store or sprint.com you always have the option to charge to your account as long as you have sufficient room under your spending limit. If you ever do an insurance claim for a phone you have the same option, you can either pay Asurion the $100 or have it charged to your Sprint bill.

What makes you so special that you get the phone at the store a day earlier than everyone else? Quit crying and wait till tomorrow like anyone else who pre-ordered the phone.

I'm particularly upset because he said I could pick it up today and now have to wait because of a BS excuse meanwhile everyone is playing with theirs already.
You guys sure are mean today because I'm sure many of you are familiar with the idea of getting the new toy on release date. It's not like I have a number in line or anything, there is a box with my name on it in the store and I can't even get it is why I am upset.

He probably doesn't want to risk losing his job for selling it early. Sprint themselves stated Premier members could order early on the website and most of the people who have it early did that. If I was a Sprint store manager and my best friend wanted it the day before and I know there was more than a 10% chance I'd lose my job over it I'd tell him to wait till the next day and I'd just hold his for him.

I don't think people are being mean but it's kinda obnoxious that you want it a day earlier because your name is on one, so are many other people and they have to wait till tomorrow. I ordered from amazon and have to wait till Tuesday. That's the price I pay for paying 470 for it.
I was not trying to come off as obnoxious, but I was upset that I couldn't pick it up because it can't be activated until tomorrow which is a total lie.
I'll just drink some cognac in the meantime to pass the time =)
Cheers.

How is it a lie? The employees are under very strict orders not to activate them before hand. If they do they risk punishment, or termination. To me that says I can't activate a phone for you ahead of time.

It's not a lie. Sprint employees are not allowed to activate Evo 3Ds until the 24th regardless of your premier status. People who have the phone now are the ones that bought from the premier store on Tuesday.
I'm guessing this also means that if you have a defective Evo 3D, then you are SOL? Or can a manager make an exception?
There's a lot of difference between store getting a delivery of phones, and store allowing to sell a phone.
If you are in such rush to get it NOW NOW NOW, why didn't you order it online? I had mine in my hands yesterday.

Honeycomb?

Uggg...tired of dealing with sprint. Anyway just wanted to let everyone know that 2 cs reps have told me that honeycomb is now available for the photon. Smh.
Sad part is they argued this as fact. Asked for link, version number, build number etc. They told me to go to the store to get it. :banghead:

I used to be an in store technical consultant. We were better trained on the phones than anyone. I used to get annoyed with customer service myself. If you go to a store with techs don't assume we are idiots please. They were great to work with and i still have alot of respect of their skill. My lead tech is the one who taught me to use xda and just keep quiet about it.

August 21, 2011 I go to Sprint store, Rt 4 at the Garden State Plaza in NJ. My power button fell off and I wanted new phone. The girl tells me, I will have the Tech look at it. Homie comes out the back and ask me, ready for it..............
"Have you have this for 30 days or more?"
In case that flew over your head, Photon did not hit the streets until August 1st, 2011, there is no way I could have owned the phone more that 21 days!!

Okay. Well I guess everyone should be judged separately then. I like to think I am fairly bright myself and I did a great job at Sprint. The reason he asked about the 30 days was because it is almost a reflex to ask that question when we see a new phone with damage. The reason for that is those types of exchanges are not actually done by the manager instead of the Technical Consultant. As soon as we confirm it happened in under 30 days (now two weeks) we can have a manager authorize us giving you a new phone. Its simply methods and procedures.

Corporate Store Pickup?

Yeah this whole release seems to be really botched. I just spoke to my local radiovshack and they expect the phone mid 2012. They have no clue when its coming and there is no info sent to them from corporate that was received from sprint.
Really weird
I should have pre-ordered.
Congrats to those with a phone in hand!!

Just called my local store.
"We haven't been given a release date yet." Side-stepped the question if they had any in stock. My guess is Sprint is just waiting to see if they can fill all the pre-orders then will release a true release date. Hopefully it's tomorrow, would be nice to have a new toy over my 3 day weekend haha

wish i could have pre ordered
does any one know how long it will be until they release it to the pub?

We are at the mercy of Sprint. They have been horrible at communicating during this whole ordeal. Phones are being shipped yet they are still sitting on an official launch date. This is screwing up 3rd parties, Sprint Stores, etc.
The only people who are happy campers are Sprint Preorderers. Which is the way it should be, but to an extent. This is getting quite ridiculous.
I feel like there are other issues and Sprint is dragging their feet so that they can make it to the 3 day weekend.

sprint is always messing stuff up so this doesnt surprise me
Again the lack of communication is their weak point. If they would just communicate it would satisfy a lot of people. The original release date was a week ago. The delay in customs was less than a week, or at least less than a week as far as we know right? So, it makes no sense at all that the delay after passing customs should be more than how long it was sitting in customs. Now, for all I know these could have been in customs for a month but we didn't find out about it until the last minute so maybe that's why Sprint is now scrambling.
Ugh. Damn the Sprint Store!
Ugh. Damn the Sprint Store! x2

Sure. Sprint HATES sales, that's why they're pushing the release date back. They want all their money grubbin hands on these fine devices and don't even want to give them to their hard paying customers. Maybe they're keeping them all to swim through Scrooge McDuck style.

So after suspecting that the corporate location that I ordered my phone from didn't know what they were talking about I took it upon myself to speak to a manager. He confirmed with me that they have not received their shipments and that the system does not show a shipment in route.
I then decided to call all of the sprint corporate stores in the central florida area. Spoke with every store manager at every location and they all confirmed the same thing with me that they currently do not have any in stock and do not show any pending shipment. And that they are still waiting for a confirmed release date from corporate.
I'm starting to wonder why I even pre ordered. I'm sorry if there's any typos I'm using voice dictation.
Time for another episode of "A Sprint CSR TOLD ME THIS!"
So, I called a few Sprint Stores here in SoCal and, A Sprint CSR TOLD ME THIS! "We will be receiving shipments next week."
If there is any truth to this statement, that means life will indeed suck a giant sack over the Memorial Day weekend.
Have been told the same thing in NorCal, next Wed or Thurs. I guess BB pre-orders are more special than Sprint corporate store ones.

Fedex lost my phone!

I ordered two phones, one for my wife and one for myself. Fedex delivered one package today with one phone. Both packages were scanned in to the local drop center at 5:11am this morning. One was scanned onto a truck at 9:30 and the other one has no activity at all. They have no idea where the other package is. And it being Saturday evening, they said that they're unlikely to get it figured out until sometime on Monday morning.
I was so looking forward to getting the phone and setting it up tonight.

I never thought of that. Fortunately it was never delivered, so it's not my responsibility. They are saying that it'll probably come on Tuesday. We'll see if that happens.
But you do bring up a good point. I should probably contact Best Buy and let them know what's going on. If it was stolen, it's their problem. Well, theirs and Fedex.

they are getting slicker and slicker on covering their tracks...lol but seriously, it might just end up finding it's way to you next business day. If not, fault is on them. Once it's on your country's soil, they cant call foul play on loss/theft and deny responsibility. they acctualy had it in their depot. U'll either get a refund or a new one i would think. You just need to harass the shipper now.

I've been harassing them non-stop for most of the day. They told me on the phone that they only deliver Tuesday through Saturday for this type of Fedex delivery. So the next chance that I have to get it is Tuesday afternoon. If it's not delivered by then, then the harassing starts again.
Hope i wont go through this my self. But then again,i payed mine with paypal so usually they are the muscle.
Since its the international variant, im reading up on how i can change the csc to a canadian variant although i cant flash the rom since obviously its exynos vs snapdragon.
trying to keep busy while waiting for it to ship....
also ordered a couple cases and screen protectors to test out. its very hard to pick only one of each and be satisfied with the results. theres always some weird fitting issue or simply trash quality that makes the device feel sub pare.

What if your wife is just setting up a prank with the Fedex guy, to then have Aston Kutcher jump out the bushes and your being featured on his 1st episode to his comback of "Prank'd" but before Aston uploads it to MTV your wife uploads it to YouTube and it gets millions of views bringing in revenue and being able to pay off both phones with the YouTube money and win a chance to see the Note 9 google edition prototype running android Oreo at the Samsung Lab.

What if your wife is just setting up a prank with the Fedex guy, to then have Aston Kutcher jump out the bushes and your being featured on his 1st episode to his comback of "Prank'd" but before Aston uploads it to MTV your wife uploads it to YouTube and it gets millions of views bringing in revenue and being able to pay off both phones with the YouTube money and win a chance to see the Note 9 google edition prototype running android Oreo at the Samsung Lab.

Ya know, that's another thing that I never thought of.
Man that sucks I would be pissed. But what could you do? Hope you get it soon it's a great phone.
They didn't lose it I think. Same thing happened to me. Th3y said they couldn't find it, but found out it was locked away in some container and it was delivered the following Monday. Just wait for it is all I can say

I've been harassing them non-stop for most of the day. They told me on the phone that they only deliver Tuesday through Saturday for this type of Fedex delivery. So the next chance that I have to get it is Tuesday afternoon. If it's not delivered by then, then the harassing starts again.

Why would they not deliver the package on Monday? That doesn't make sense to me, express delivery should happen any business day of the week. Maybe that's why mine says delivery Tuesday even though it's in the local sort facility already.

The guy that I talked to at FedEx called it "FedEx Home Delivery", and said it only runs between Tuesday and Saturday. It's probably the cheapest way that they could find to deliver it.
Interesting, FedEx Home Delivery is listed as Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m
Looks like no phone for me tomorrow, Tuesday it is
Same thing happened to me. Supposed to be overnighted to me last Thursday. Arrived is Memphis depot, from there, nobody knows where it is. I asked them how is that possible, that's their core business, shipping and being able to track the shipments. Anyway, I told them to send it back when/if they find it. Fedex is crap!!
Don't feel like you're alone. Fedex has lost my Note 5 I sent in as my trade in. I have verified it was picked up by the driver, but has since disappeared, there's not even any tracking information. Fedex is supposedly researching, but I don't expect it to be found. That puts me out a phone, plus the $425 trade in credit with Samsung. Soooo pissed right now....
kind the same happened to my friend Note 8, he had it hold at UPS location for pickup but when he show up to pick up the phone, they can not locate it.
