Noticed something interesting on my nexus box.

I ordered my nexus on Friday of last week and it did not ship until late Monday and ups delivered it yesterday(early, thanks to them). When unboxing it, I noticed they there were clearly 2 pieces of tape on each side as if it had been opened and resealed. My nexus has no problems whatsoever (except for the flickering, which is minimal and from previous devices should be fixable with software). I actually see no reason for this to have been returned and think that perhaps Google is opening the devices to verify good ones before they send them out. Anyone else received recent devices with two pieces of tape?

If you go back a few days, there's a large thread on this. I'd find it for you, but I have to run.

Do you mean the black seal tapes on the black box containing your nexus and was your nexus wrapped in a clear plastic wrapper?

Use the search feature, this has been covered in the last few days. The tape intact/cut seems random. -Ara

I read that you can order your Nexus with your credentials already saved, like the kindles. Is this your case?

There were several owners that reported the double tape phenomenon. These owners were not luck as you though and reported one or more of the common issues.

Mine came this way. I just had to enter my password.

When I got my N7, it was pre-configured with my Google account, it just asked for password. I only had single tapes.

I notice my screen flickers on white screens while at low brightness sometimes... is this normal, I saw you mentioned it.

Ah I've reread your op and I understand that the seal was broken or tampered and was hidden by putting another tape over it
Had a quick look at my box and didn't find double tape. Maybe someone did a check test during the last production line or had to reopen it to put the right adaptor or other stuff in?

Then Google opened it to insert your credentials.

As another (potentially redundant) data point, mine had one piece of tape on each side, and I only had to enter my password as well. If people are getting boxes with two pieces of tape on each side and one has been slit, then perhaps there's something there.
Or not. Who the hell knows anymore.

Mine was in the nexus sleeve, slid out and a plain black box with 2 black tapes- tough to cut.
My question is why would you give out your credential info online so someone can preprogram it in???

It makes it easier to setup and btw, the pre-loading a google account doesn't open the box (they don't have your password), they link it to the device's serial number and when it boots up, it automatically loads your data after you input your password. Or so said the others in the last thread for this issue. -Ara

They just put your Gmail account in without the password.

Which one of the two would better off? I still haven't decided which one I should get.

Thanks for the feedback.
How about if in would like to write essays in it? For example.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

Depends on screen size really and whether you want the dock. They are two really different tablets. You go to the tf101 forum and they will all say to go with that one.
If i was in that position I'd try to find a way to get the tf301. Best of both worlds then if you like the 10 inch size.

I'd keep away from tegra2
Gaming on that CPU is just a pure pain and its really old tech now ....
I have gtab 10.1 which I'm selling because its just to slow .... CPU on my galaxy nexus can handle more ....
Jellybean doesn't help either ....

I had a TF101 for a year and it was a good device but it was showing the signs of its age. I sold mine yesterday and picked up a Nexus 7 today and it kicks the crap out of the TF101. The Nexus is way easier to hold for extended periods of time and it's so much smaller. Not to mention the process for unlocking/rooting it so so much simpler, especially thanks to wug_fresh!

Getting the tf101. Thanks for your replies tho.
I'm sending a N7 for a tf101.
Hope that guy enjoys his tablet
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

Yep, just like others, I sold my TF101 for the N7 and wouldn't ever look back. I love this powerful little seven inch tablet!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I also got rid of my TF101 for the N7. If your interested in the 10" form factor, I would consider the tf300. It can be had for relatively cheap and will be a much better device than the tf101.

This made me rage

You're aware that most people don't know how to use their phones right? An article that I recently read is a great example:
HTC researched user behavior to learn what it could benefit by changing. It learned that while lots of users have weather, music, or clock widgets configured to run on their phones, fewer than than 10% of other HTC users had anything else.
It also found that we’re just not very aware of widgets in the first place, with many users not thinking of them as any different from full-fledged apps, and we get awfully set in our ways – after the first month with a new phone, only 20% of users ever go back and really change-up their home screens.

I may not use everything my phone can do but I at least know that it's always there for me, most people still don't know that. For example, I was taking a panorama on my phone yesterday and my friend with an iPhone 5 claimed that it was a blatant copy from iOS. I find that people tend not to know features of their smartphones until Apple advertises them and they realist that their phones can do that too.

This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4/XDA.

does it need to have it? it is for the n5

It looks like Spigen accidentally changed the title and picture for a nexus 4 protector. Or it could be a cruel joke. I just searched "nexus 4 spigen screen protector" on amazon and that was one of the first few results

And The camera is on the left.. Speaker port is thinner, Screen appears bigger also. Hmmm...

If you find it on amazon and zoom in you can faintly see where the screen ends and how thin the bezel is on the left side

This was already discussed here weeks ago. It is not unusual for accessories makers to put these listings up on Amazon. Most likely they won't even start producing them until they get a Nexus 5 in their hands. They just try to get the early press and pre-orders before others get their products out.

Try factory resetting and check for new updates. Hasn't happened on mine ever even on low battery.
EDIT: I'll contact a guy at pebble i know see what he can do.

Allready tried factory reset but same problem. Indeed it's more often when low battery but even after charge problem persist.
Just sent an support e-mail to pebble, see what they can do.

Hi!
Could you post that picture on an external site? Would really like to see, if it resembles what my pebble does, but for some reason I've had problems with pictures and files stored on xda (~pictures that appear as thumbnails).
Anyways, what mine does: at random, the text gets a lot smaller and then it's certain, that it's soon going to slow down, then crash, and finally reboot - have had it under a week, I've had only one full charge, but I can't see how long my pebble lasts, because it reboots and that starts the up time counter again. I'd say it does that once every day or two, and when I flash wachfaces, -apps a lot, then more frequently, then also the flashing stops with half a loading bar and says everything is completed, but nothing happend on the pebble
Hope you understand what I meant, as I once again ended up just rambling on and on!

Received a confirmation for replacement few days ago. Le't see...
Sorry no time for other pics now. Will try soon

Go to eBay. Search for "pebble watch screen protector".
I've had most luck with ones marked xtremeguard or sshieldz, but even those tend to peel at the corners after a month or so.
Avoid any that only cover the square screen part of the face.
Be cautious about the colored/textured ones. Some of them only cover the colored part and leave the screen unprotected.
