Hi all,
Interested in purchased a NS limited Edition back cover for my NS.
Wouldn't mind if it is a knock-off, as long as it is a high quality product.
Looked on ebay and found nothing.
Anyone got any links that I can purchase one?
Thanks
Heeter
Sameee id like one too.

Anyone???

Hmm, not sure about an official source for these. But my phone actually came with the limited edition (with the little Android logos all over it, right?).
I didn't really like it, and was able to buy a warranty-replacement original cover. I have one of the Android covers right now sitting on my desk that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. PM me if you want to try and work something out.
That actually makes me wonder if Samsung's warranty support stocks any of the Android logo covers. You guys might try calling in and giving that a shot too. Make sure to tell them you want a warranty replacement for your current cover though, otherwise they'll just tell you they have none for sale and to get lost :]
EDIT: PM cheerfully received! I'm assuming this means that my Android logo back cover will, very shortly, no longer be available.
PM sent, Bro.

I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these if any friendly T-Mo/Samsung/hooked up people would be willing to part with one. Please, please, please someone let me know if you have one available and tell me what I need to do for it.
Same here...I rock a naked Nexus w/InvisiShield and would LOVE to show off that wicked backside cover. Thanks in advance...
I'd just like to reiterate my edited post to indicate that I no longer have a limited edition back cover. I sent it out to Heeter pretty much right after I posted.
I don't mean to sound rude, but I've gotten numerous PMs by people who apparently didn't bother to finish reading my post and it's a little out of hand.
Again, it's no longer available. Sorry :[
Maybe Heeter will sell you the one he bought

Ha, Ha yeah right!!!!
No way, hanging on to this one, big time!
But I do know how you feel, sosquidtaste, I put my car up for sale last week, and I fully described the car in detail in the ad, and they still ask me if it has the feature or that feature when they call.
Read the whole thing!!!

Can I get a pm also?
i would love a different back to change and show off... if anyone has one please pm me
I guess no one is going to sell me one of these

Really up to you. If that's as much as you re willing to spend, id go with the nexus. New is new after all, fresh warranty and your sgs may have other problems you're not still aware and you may end up spending more in the long run.
But that's only true if that's how much you're willing to pay and if you're not planning to get any other phone during the time you'll be stuck with your operator by getting a phone with points (assuming that's how it works there, it is here)
Another thing, updates. nexus is sure to get official updates to ics while we're still hanging for a confirmation from Samsung.
My verdict, nexus.

I found out that the galaxy s II costs 180 with points in company sextion so I am going to buy it through mu brother's company
Hi everybody! My One has been in the service center for a week after getting hard bricked for no reason, and repair hasn't been started yet, and they're giving me an ETA of a week or two more So, if any of you is in any way related to HTC, could you pm me a number or an email ID, which isn't ignored, to talk or send a message to convince htc to get my phone repaired quick or give me a replacement? Talking/chat with any of the higher authorities, who actually care about customers would do.
Thanks
Hopefully I'll get them convinced

I bought my phone with a carrier that I'm no longer with so they aren't doing anything. I was forced to use HTC.
I guess it wasn't that bad since I had a backup.
And the ETA was given by the call center people , who don't know ***t about anything. The service center guys are saying that it may take two weeks or more because of shortage of parts. Why don't they replace the damn phone if they're gonna replace the most expensive parts anyways? Btw, my phone has a faulty mobo, camera, and speakers.

How do you have that many things wrong with the phone? They almost never replace the phone because (according to them) it changes the IMEI number of the phone. It does do that, but how the heck does it even matter? HTC support is useless IMO.

I don't bloody know. I took proper care of the phone, it was never out of a case and it never fell. And believe it or not, this is the third time I'm having a problem with this phone And if the mobo is changed, the IMEI is changed anyways, so what difference does it make? HTC support is always like "I'm sorry sir, but we can't do anything for you right now. Please check back in a week" it driving me crazy

Well, no. I got a new IMEI the last time my board was changed, and 3 months of data more from my carrier, so I'm pretty darn sure that at least here they don't

By here, I'm assuming you mean where you live. I guess I asked them to not change it (I would have to get another unlock code) so thats probably why,.
Just as a heads up to all the new Nexus owners, and to future owners: check for dead pixels, immediately and a few hours later. Just a few minutes ago, I had one rear its ugly head. Call Google and they'll do an advance replacement no questions asked.
Annoying, but hey.

It's not a nice situation, but at least they are taking ownership.
I think I found one. Thanks for the tip. It's so small though! Is it really worth it to request a replacement? I have no idea how the process works, but I'm not sure I want to deal with returning this one and waiting for a new one.

Generally an "Advanced Replacement" Implies that they either cross ship, you a new one as soon as yours is in the mail, or they send you the box to ship the old one back when they send the new one out. Can't really speak to which way Google is doing it. But hopefully someone who's started the process can provide better details.

With the N4, they would put a charge on your credit card while they send out the replacement. Then you put your phone in the replacement's box and ship back with the prepaid label. When they get it back they remove the charge. I believe the hold charge was $200.
How are you even spotting pixels, a magnifying glass? Lol

This is what they're doing, they give you a link to order a replacement where they place a hold charge on a card. They give you a pre-paid shipping label and tell me I'm free to ship the device back to them whenever and in the box it came in. So, I'll wait until I receive my replacement before shipping the defective device out.

:cyclops: I have good eyes, lol. When I saw this thread I used a dead pixel locating app that simply shows solid colors on the screen. My dead pixel is located around the top right corner. The pixels are so small I can't really imagine how I'd ever notice a problem during any normal use.
You can unstick some pixels (not dead pixels) by re-energizing them through rapidly turning them on and off. There are apps on Google play that you can test and unstick (some) pixels, or you can return the phone.

Then get an advance swap. Use the existing one for however many weeks it takes, and then send your original back after the new one arrives.
Might help to unlock the bootloader now, so that when it's time for the swap you can take a nandroid backup and preserve your app data. Relock and flash to stock after backing up and before you send it back in.
Update: all replacement orders are placed on the same queue as everyone else. My replacement device is set to leave the warehouse in 2-3 weeks, and according to my receipt, I have 21 days from the day my replacement order was placed to ship my defective device back to Google.
Conclusion? I'll be without a Nexus 5 for an undetermined amount of time. Luckily I still have my old HTC One, but this is something you'll want to know, especially if you don't have a backup device.

With the nexus 4 the 21 days didn't start until you received the replacement device. Know from personal experience as received a faulty N4 at launch and had to wait weeks for a replacement.

That's what I thought, but I called to double check and the representative confirmed that the email wording is correct: it's 21 days from the day the replacement order is placed. Obviously I was miffed, but she told me there's nothing I can do and that the best she can advise is to wait as long as possible before sending out my defective phone.
Annoying.
Edit: I emailed the representative I spoke to last night for clarification. The woman on the phone today seemed to think what we all thought (that the 21 days starts from the day of receipt of the replacement), so perhaps there's some confusion as to the official modus operandi. I'll report back whenever he gets back to me.

I'd just cancel the replacement order and wait until they get more in stock before placing the replacement order again. Just a thought.

Normally I would consider doing something like this, but given Google's track record, I have no confidence that stock levels will be restored anytime soon. As I said before, luckily I have my HTC One to fall back on, but I'll still hold onto my 5 for a week. I was reading the defects thread and it seems people are getting RMA devices faster than those who order normally despite what the Play page tells.

With my Nexus 7 3G, it took over a week for the replacement to arrive and then I was out of town for two weeks before I could pick up the package as it missed delivery on the day of my flight out. By the time I sent it in, it was slightly beyond three weeks. I was never charged extra. I phoned Google to be sure, and they said that if they charge me and then end up receiving the device back after all, they will reverse the charge.
Hey XDA
I hope I am allowed to ask this here. I recently broke the screen on my Nexus 6 and I am looking to buy a replacement but, I can't find them in stock anywhere. Any tips as to where I could find one around the 250 mark where they were recently listed at would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Your best bet is to look here

Look into getting the screen repaired?
I've seen the N6 in very good and like new condition listed on Amazon warehouse deals. Price usually around 260-280.

I would stalk Amazon and wait until they show up for $250, the times appear to be random and the sales can last from 15 minutes - 1-2 days.

I really wasn't looking forward to flashing stock and relocking the bootloader, effectively losing control of my device. Basically I was a little nervous about doing all of that without a screen so, I ordered a replacement on swappa and it should be here tomorrow. Down the road I think I might shell out the $175 to get it fixed because I think I can pull it off with a toolkit but, for now I'm just gonna hold it for a little while.
And on that note, thank you all for the advice and I'll be back to having one very soon.
would you like to buy
