Droid Bionic from costco!

Just picked up my BIONIC from costco! Came out to 306.24 with the accessories bundle!
Lg Revolution / XDA Premium

What accessories does Costco include in the bundle?

No docks or anything good
Looks like it's a case, vehicle charger, and screen protector. None of the cool stuff.

Don't forget about car dock, desk dock, extra battery with a standalone charger..

oh really? I was looking at it on Costco's website and it didn't look like any of that was included.

Just got mine today from Costco as well. Switched from the EVO on Sprint. The Costco deal is awesome! They give you so much extra stuff.

What extra stuff did you get with it?

Just bought mine upgraded from a droid eris. My mom got a state discount which saved me 50$ so it came to 270.00 with new york tax. I can't wait to hopefully see great development for this phone.

Got mine 10:30 this morning from Costco. Here is a photo courtesy of the Bionic of everything that came with it. Pretty nice bundle for $300!

Coming from the Tbolt things have changed a bit. The phone is extremely light compared to the HTC, which is a plus in my opinion. Asides from that the only thing I really care about is battery life, which I will report back later about. So far so good though. I'm a pretty heavy user, and no matter what I tried with the Tbolt I could kill it in 3 hours. 10-12 hours being idle would near kill it. It's nice to take it off the charger and not see a 10% drop for no reason at all. True reading or not that drove a lot of folks bonkers.
I'll report back here in 6 hours with some details on battery life. That will be 7 hours off charge with some decent use. New phone use if you know what I mean

I must say, Bionic feels pretty darn good in the hands.....
Did you buy it off contract? How much did you end up paying for it (Walk out)?

Shipment coming Monday possibly Tuesday

Well I got my shipping info yesterday, and have yet to receive any update on ups of it being actually shipped.
So I call ups and asked what was going on, and why would they say delivery date of the 16th if I have seen it ship yet.
The rep said once it ships the delivery date will update to most likely to Tuesday.
Sorry to bring bad news but I just wanted to give a heads up.

I am pissed I could have bought it from Sam club cheaper and no shipping cost. I wish Google would have said retail stores would have it same time. This makes we want to dump Google and go to Apple and iOS full time.

Don't be so dramatic. Ordering from Google didn't guarantee that you get yours before anyone else. If you're getting angry over having to wait a couple of extra days, then Android is probably better off without you.
(For the record, I'm still likely to get mine even later than you get yours)

I ordered way back on the 27th from the Play store but still ran out yesterday and picked one up from a b+m store anyways. Wanted to be able to play with it over the weekend. When mine comes from Play, I'll either return this one or sell it to a buddy.
It will be worth the wait, I can assure you. This thing is all sorts of amazing.

I don't mind the wait that doesn't upset me I am upset because if they had stated retail stores would have it same week I would have bought it from there and saved shipping costs even if it was same price and now Sams club has it 20 bucks cheaper and with tax that is 40 bucks or so off.

Google could screw up 100 times over and I still would not jump over to Apple. Yes I'm pissed that I pre-ordered early from the Play store and yes GameStop pre-orders are already in their grubby hands but I will have my tablet by mid next week. Do I want to trade a few days waiting or jump over to sue happy Apple? Apple would rather kill everyone then release new/better products. The next iPhone will have the same design for 2 years minimum and the same screen size for another 5 years. And I'm not giving those bastards 30% of my app purchases just to blow it in the court room. I sold my iPad 3 two weeks ago and I have no regrets in doing so.

There's absolutely no need for yet another thread about orders/deliveries - there are stickies where you can discuss such matters.

Asus fixing the Nexus 7

It seems the next batch or CK8 of the nexus 7 would be delayed because of "manufacturing delays" according to John Lewis's website
www.johnlewis.com/231697911/Product.aspx?source=46387
Does this mean the manufacturing process has been reviewed; no screen lift and dead pixels

No. It probably means they can't keep up with the demand.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

Keep a watch on the trim ring in any new production run... I do think they will eventually make it metal, which will probably be enough to prevent it from being pulled down by the cover and exposing the glass on that side ("screen lift"). That's a cheap fix and would be hardly noticeable to most people; they wouldn't need to change any marketing or anything.

My Nexus is fine, no dead pixels, no screen lift, nothing. Absolutely perfect. Although when I unboxed it it already had a fingerprint on, I suppose they were checking them...

Same. No issues at all.
Ive seen this same stupid retailer mentioned multiple times already, by the same person, and every time it gets the same response.
"Manufacturing delays" is just the retailer's way of saying "Its not our fault this thing isnt in stock" aka ASUS cant make them fast enough to meet demand.

Now that I think of it...my had fingerprints on it as well...I didn't pay it any mind as it was still factory sealed.
I wonder if they are unboxing them at the factory and checking them.

I think this whole rumor of Asus fixing N7 started with this some random online store John Lewis in Europe said so. For all we know this random site could be just BSing us because they don't have N7 in their inventory.

Where did both of you get your tablets, from the play store?
Because I've gone through two from Tesco, both with screen lifting and the replacement even had dead pixels, after that I got a refund and the lady at the till said that there's been a lot of returns because of a defect.
I really need this tablet because it's great, I just need to know where the "perfect" ones are

Strange they are not using gloves on the factory

I bought mine from Tesco Direct and have had no problems with it.

No complaints
I ordered a 16gb model for my wife last Tuesday, it was delivered Thursday.
No screen lift, flickering, no MIA pixels.
Only complaints is for some reason only about 15 for her 50+ Gmail contacts show up in her People app, and she can't seem to get the Google News and Weather widget on the N7. Hopefully big G will make it compatible.

Nexus 7 32gb Staples $249

Just saw this. And I'm pissed. Lol
http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-7-32gb-appears-at-staples-for-249-20121019/[/url

Well that figures, I have read about this upcoming 32 Gig version, I have the 16 Gig version from Staples that is just past their 15 day return period. I am not sure I would take mine back since my 16 Gig is flawless no screen lift, dead pixels or washed out colors. maybe I will just buy a 32 Gig version as well and if it is perfect may just sell the 16 or give it as a gift to my kid.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...ady-at-staples-stores-priced-at-250-pictures/

Yeah, there is another thread on this already. Some lucky peeps were able to purchase it already, they have their receipts posted.

Mission Accomplished. Returned 16gb (on day 14) for 32gb. Woohoo

Ahh in the `less dense' parts.. I usually a avoid Route 70 like the plague as it's the WORST road during rush hour but for a 32GB Nexus 7... Yeah I didn't mind so much. :laugh:

Hmm... did you have any problems restoring from backup or installing your favorite ROM? Both are boot hanging for me. Weird.

Congrats! and BTW, when you returned the 16, did it show up on the register as $199 or $249? I'm trying to think if I can get Walmart to do a price adjustment.. if it's marked down to $199 already.

Some weird issues initially, then it was only showing 6GB free. So, I did a Fastboot -w update of the 4.1.2 factory image to make sure the filesystem and bootloader were all up to spec, let it boot up to do its thing then rebooted to bootloader, fastbooted over TWRP and installed my rom and gapps.. All is good and setting up AOKP 4.1.2 test as we speak. I didn't do a restore of my old system as I didn't even bother saving anything.. Starting from scratch.

Even though I got my 16 on launch weekend I still feel jipped. Oh well

Either the Staples rep you talked to is misinformed, or the store employees were never informed.. Either way sounds like Staples upper management has some communication issues they should work out at the next company meeting. :laugh: Looking around I saw sales a receipt posted from Florida too.

There was someone who posted on androidcenteral some internal staples endcaps sales info, it looks like if the stores have the 32gb in stock it was ok to sell them. I got my without any problems, the sku numbers and price was already in the system. They rang me up without any problems. I think the good deal to come will be the 8gb ones they will put on clearance the day after Google's press conference. perhaps 99 bucks? That's low enough for me to get it for my kids instead of a psp or a 3ds or some other useless game system...

Nexus 6 discussion thread

I mean what was Google thinking...
6 inches for f***s sake. 5" was good enough, you could've taken it to 5.5" but 6 is just straight pain. Everything is so awesome and then you have many reasons not to upgrade to nexus 6 like 10.1 mm thickness the motorola logo on the back so big killing the grace of Nexus logo and of course the 6" giant display. We needed a phone and not a phablet.

Without the funtionality of the Note series 6" is overkill for most but damn does is look sexy.. I hop Lollipop includes funtionalitt with stylus build in. One of the ads ha a nice ass looking stylus lying next to it.

I know and the purpose of this thread is Nexus 5 users' opinion on the phone.

The size is not the problem, the size of the price tag is. Damn, I can't even tell you how disappointed I am... Moto X 2014 GPE for me.

too big, too ugly, too much

Current Nexus 4 owner here who will not be buying the Nexus 6. I agree too big and too pricey. I only hope they continue to sell the Nexus 5 (32GB Black currently out of stock). That's the only phone I want to purchase now. Would have been nice if Google did a slight refresh of the Nexus 5 to sell to users who don't want a mammoth phone. If they had taken the Moto X and added Qi charging and called it the Nexus 5 (2014) I'd be ecstatic.

Beastly phone. It's such a shame it's so big, in my opinion.
Phablet users get to rejoice. Everyone else, not so much. Such a shame there's no updated Nexus 5.

Looks like I'm going to save some money. Too big, way more expensive and doesn't come in black. Not tempted at all in buying this and ditching my N5.

It comes in pints? I'm getting one!

OK so quick question. Preorders start for this at the end of the month. Does anybody know if I will be charged as soon as I pre-order or if I won't be charged until it ships?

until it's official, it's just a guess, but as with the the other Nexus devices in the play store, you never got charged before it actually shipped.

Yeah that is what I was basing it on. How that's how it goes with nexus 6

Too many other options in that price range with the play editions out there. I would have bought it around $100-$150 more, but IMO its not worth $250 more. I'm staying with the 5 and probably buying a few more of those if they go on sale for my wife and kids.
Google missed the mark on this one, I guess they want us to help out for paying too much for Motorola...

I will wait for the device on display and compare before I buy it (maybe not), the size does concern me, the thickness (1cm) and weighs 50 grams more
