I ordered mine today from Clove and payed extra for the Saturday delivery....however when i put in my tracking no. into Royal Mail it says it will be delivered on the 23rd (Monday) !!! Ahhhh!
Is this just a flaw with their systems, has anyone else see this?
Yours, impatiently.....
Are you sure it doesn't say words to the effect of "Delivered at the latest by"
Sometimes they say that but if you paid Saturday it should get there Saturday. If it doesn't the postage gets refunded to the person who paid the shipping anyway.
Citylink don't do saturday delivery so they use royal mail.
Royal Mail always sets the delivery date +2 working days, or +1 if its over a weekend.
I'm not sure if you'll get it on saturday, it'll depend alot on when they passed it onto royal mail.

It says 'We have received your item and expect to deliver it before the guaranteed time on 23/06/08'....I guess that could be interpeted as meaning before the 23rd or before the guaranteed time ON the 23rd......mmmm...I hate not knowing!

Bugger. It was quite a late order (about 4:45pm) but I did ask if they could get it by Saturday and they said yes. Their confirmation email isnt much use but on the invoice it says 'SAT SPECIAL' at the bottom....maybe its just Royal Mail...
I've used Saturday delivery with Royal Mail before - the Royal Mail tracking system doesn't allow for Saturday Tracking - I'm pretty impatient (36 year old child) and felt very let down thinking I would have to wait until Monday BUT it did arrive if you check early tomorrow morning it should say either "received by sorting branch" or "out for delivery" if your going to receive it.... Good Luck.....!

Thanks, thats great news Will check in the morning...probably sit excitedly on the end of my bed like the 29 year old child I am!
Let us know if you get your new toy on time!!!!!
I ordered from Clove today myself, asked them to ship it via royal special delivery saturday which they said no problem. Placed my order this morning and the guy said that i should have it by tommorrow.
In the past i have had special delivery items arrive on a saturday so i would expect mine to be with me tommorrow...if not ill be one sad bunny
Got it! I should really have more faith - Clove have always been good.
Wow! What a box! I can't believe how small and light the device is considering whats cramned inside!

haha yeah i think we all thought that when we opened our boxes.
My delivery experience was funny, i got mine from Hong Kong (and you thought you were impatient lol,) so i order the thing yeah, it takes about 12 hours to get from the guy in Hong Kong to London Heathrow, it then takes 35 hours to get for the airport to me, and i live in London!! lol travels around the world 3 times faster than it can travel from London, to London lol! anyway still very good to get it in 2 days from HK! so no complaints really
Right got my Diamond this morning...was quite excited...was up at 8am lol. Anyways quite impressed with the box...its like a small pyramid..very cool and swish if i must say so.
The phone itself is small, didnt realise just how small it was and slim. Only major problem with the phone is that its a dust and finger magnet...ive never come across a phone that attracts so much dust and fingerprints...hell my nokia 8600 luna is a finger magnet but nothing on the scale of the Diamond.
Anyways am happy i finally got it but to be honest, im not that impressed with the device...sure it looks nice and all but touchflo is stupidly laggy even tho im running 1.37 rom as its a uk spec diamond. The sensitivity of the screen isnt very good...i definitely prefer my ipod touch...the touchscreen on that is simply amazing compared to the Diamond. In fact its so annoying that i use the stylus rather than my finger.
Anyways im keeping till the weekend is over then ill make up my mind as to whether or not to keep it or send it back...as much as i love the form factor...i cant see myself getting on with this phone...im already noticing silly little annoyances. But ill definitely know by monday and if it does go back then ill wait for the Xperia X1 i think. Hopefully the touchscreen on that will be much much better than the Diamonds.
Do a screen align and tap the points realllly lightly (just tap super lightly and increase the pressure until it senses it). This will make it ALOT more sensative.
It will take the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
from about 34 decimal to 55 decimal. Or you can edit the key directly and set it to 240 decimal. You'll notice a HUGE difference in everything except touchflo which will have some difference but not huge..
Touchflo seems to use this key as well:
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\fingurepressure
I've fiddled with it and changing it from 19 to 2 seems to make a marked difference. Still not enough for me tho!
It seems the glass covering the diamond screen is the culprit. Not sure how much we can do about that. But i agree i hate the screen sensativity, or lack of it i should say.

Hi mate...i tried re-aligning the screen etc but even the lightest of taps doesnt seem to register...messed around with it and to be honest theres not much you can do i suppose...the sensitivity is pretty dire to say the least.
Oh well guess ill just keep trying till i get it right...

Yeah realigning the screen didnt do too much for me, but changing the reg key did. BTW you need to soft reset afterwards.
If you change the finger pressure key, it takes affect about 5 to 10 seconds after touchflow loads.
The way i test it is to scroll with your finger from home to programs and back again over and over. Decrease the pressure with your finger and at some point you'll notice when you get to home or programs it starts drawing the program/home screen, as if you released your finger.
I was *****ing about this all day yesterday! But i tweaked it as best i could, forgot about it, and today its actually quite usable. I think some of it was in my head!
If only we could find an app which reads the pressure on the screen and displays it, then we could scientifically press at the same level and see the difference.
anyone know of such an app?
Hmmm i know what you mean...my problem is that im probably expecting it to be quick when really it isnt ie when i scroll my finger quickly across to say internet...it takes a few secs before it actually get there and opens up the app.
Im going to give the screen re-alignment another go and if that doesnt sort it out then i guess ill have to edit the registry...only thing i havent a clue as to how to do it lol..im a noob when it comes to things like this etc.
If you dont mind someone, could you explain to me what values you changed and what they were etc??.
Also when you say soft reset the device??..do you mean after ive done the screen re-alignment or after i tweaked the registry of the phone??.
Oh wow! you havnt applied any of the tweaks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
I applied 1, 3, 10, 15, 16, 18.
Don't apply 2, it just ups the tweak you did in 1 from 8b to 16mb, and you run out of memory on the UK rom!
You'll notice a huge difference. To edit the registry you can use sktools or resco explorer (add registry plugin from the menu if its not there).
You can get a trial of resco here:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp
You need to soft reset after you edited the registry. After you done these, then post again about what you think of it, you'll be surprised at the difference!

That would be the only thing that would make me even consider changing.
Think it's marginally thinner. Only by a few mm.

I have a good friend that works at an att store and he told me that he actually got a chance to play with it in his meeting with the htc reps. He said it felt pretty solid physical, and software wise! He also said it could be out as soon as sometime sept and the only thing that htc will be dismissing in this unit is the IR! but who uses that anyways right lol! Oh yeah and he also said the unit he played with also had the front cam, so its quit possible att might be intorducing video calling for this unit!

Thanks.
Me too, although they are charging £485.

You can already install the htc home screen on it. Is that what you meant by the cube or did you mean the spinning cube when you slide your finger over it?
If you need the home .cab ill post it for you or you can check the hermes forums.
I thought it came with that though

I just got my nexus tablet today and right after turning it on, I noticed that the backlight comes in very uneven from the left. I can pretty much see exactly where each light is shining from and it creates bright spots on the left of the screen. Add to that, it appears some of the backlights aren't even working as the lower half of my screen is dark most of the time and there are gaps in the lighting.
I will post pix in a bit.
Did you try the "fix" for the screen? I read from another forum in General that has you press on the left side of the bezel fairly strongly to press the clip on that side back into place? Mine is sitting at home in its box as I'm away at the moment, but I'm sure I will be nervous and praying for a good unit when I open mine up. Given my luck on that last few android devices I've purchased, I may very well be in the aisle with the ones with defects. If it had an issue, such as backlight problems, dead pixels, etc., I will be sure to call Google up and ask for an exchange. I'm very excited, but nervous as well. I'd like to know though the portion of devices that are actually defective. We all know that if you have a problem, you are much more likely to complain and post than the thousands out there that have the device and have no problems. Let's hope the amount is in the small minority, and is not something wide spread like the old Galaxy Vibrant and its GPS signal.
I will try the firm pressing... As far as complainers, its true. The ones with bad devices will have a much louder presence online. At any rate. Im severely disappointed.
I was on hold for half an hour before I just gave up.
I should have bought this in store from a B&M retailer so I could just return it instead. At least my iPad still works...
Okay, here are the pix...

Had the exact same issue 100%. Easy fix, 58 minutes on hold, a 30 second conversation, and they are overnighting me a new one. Stick this one in that box when it gets here, apply RMA label and drop off at UPS store or call them to come get it if that's better for you sir.

I'm debating if I should just ask for a full refund instead of an exchange...
after passing the 48 hour window they originally said, I called in again. Now they are telling me to wait till Monday.
If come Monday I hear nothing I will just call my CC company and stop payment. This is ridiculous.

I dont think its simply a screen separation issue because the lower LED's act irratically vs the top LEDs. Its more noticeable when the screen dims. The top will dim normally whereas the bottom LED will just shut off completely.
Ordered from Newegg yesterday and got it today afternoon.
They had the lowest price ($130 for upgrades) plus no taxes and Free Next Day Shipping - can't beat that.
Felt like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for the driver to drop it off.
Activation and set-up took a while; now I am up and running.
Can't wait to explore this baby in depth.
In the meantime, if anyone has any advice on what to check for within the 14 day return period, i would appreciate it.

Thanks guys.
The back button did seem a bit off to me; I thought maybe it was me not touching it correctly. Then came on here and read the thread about the update which seems to have fixed it.
I read about the microscopic gaps in the Anandtech review, but I'm not sure if I can see any gaps with my eyes.
Will check on the others and see if I find anything amiss.
After you did all of the above, go and take pictures and video's at night. Go meet Zoe. Watch a video with volume all the way up. Blast some tunes through a good set of headset. Then report back.

I ordered two 16GB Nexuses on Tuesday the 27th and paid for expedited shipping (so, +$3.00 or something fairly insignificant), and spent all of Friday waiting for UPS to ring my unit and bring me my phones. They finally do at 6:50pm; my phone rings, I buzz the guy into my building (I was at a restaurant nearby) and lo and behold, what happens? Minutes later my tracking page says receiver was unavailable and that they'll try again Tuesday!!!
On top of it all, I couldn't pick it up that night and they were closed that Saturday because of the long weekend, meaning I couldn't get my toys until today (I know, I know, #firstworldproblems).

I ordered mine on the 30th, also with the expedited shipping. UPS says they will be here the 5th, coming from one state over. It feels like it's taking forever, I can't wait to run away from Sprint and their dropping calls left and right out of nowhere.

Welcome to the club!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
How do you like it so far? Have you flashed any rom/kernel? Is this your first nexus?

It's very nice! I've left it stock for the moment, but I'm really missing the simple yet effective customization in CyanogenMod (Torch, quiet time, and battery meter, to name three) so I don't know how long I'll last.
The only thing I'm not terribly happy about, coming from AMOLED displays, is that the IPS colors seem downright anemic. It's more than making it up to me in 1280x768 smoothness, though
This is my first Nexus phone but second Nexus device (I have a 2012 N7).

The options you miss like torch, quite times and battery meter are all plenty available in Play bro. Like for instance Battery Widget Reborn and Silent Sleep.

Oh, I agree, but it was nice to have them all built-in...

Android is meant to be lean and mean, you can add the things you like/need yourself.

Part of the reason I went Cyanogen (from Touchwiz) and now Nexus/vanilla Android :good:

I can really recommend franco kernel as far as kernels go. It improves battery life immensely. (going from 3h30 screen on time to 6h-kind of improvement). It definitely made my nexus 4 go from a great device to an amazing one.
