Play Store buyers, Please post your first Impressions (This isn't a shipping thread!)

Most of us who pre-ordered are a little peeved to say the least with how pre-orders were handled. After reading threads about quality issues, etc., with those able to buy from B&M last week, I'd like to know what people's impressions are of the device who ordered from the Play Store.
Edited thread title for clarity...
Did Google hold back to fix last minute issues? Were these a different batch than the retailer-reserved units? We can only speculate.
Most of us will receive the device tomorrow it seems. I personally will not be able to open mine until I return home from business on Friday, but there will be thousands waiting for that UPS guy to show up!
The purpose of this thread, fellow Play Store buyers, is to post your impressions, especially on issues like the left side screen clip, ghosting, flickering, yellow spots, battery life, etc. I'll be adding mine on Friday. Hopefully the vast majority of us have defect free devices. If yours is perfect, post that as well.

What happened? I ordered mine on the 13th, which I guess wouldn't be preorder since it came out that day. lol

I haven't even received a shipping notification yet... No way anything is happening anytime soon, it seems.
Really ticks me off, I have to admit!
Why would I ever want to buy from Google Play again, if other (brick & mortar) stores have already sold out a few days ago?
Besides, it makes me realize how much more professional Apple handles these roll-outs. And I thought only Verizon stinks (see Galaxy Nexus roll-out).

What do you mean what happened? The thread is for impressions from those that pre-ordered or bought the device from the Play Store and HAVE the device. This is not a thread about shipping.

Well, I can honestly say I'm happy with my device. It seems perfect to me, no defects as far as I can see. It may have taken some time to get here, but I'm very happy with the quality.

Did you order yours from the Play store? If so, please post a little more about it

Most defective units appear to be from GameStop. Mime from ebuyer and others from ebuyer appear to be fine.

Ya, but from your post, you DON'T HAVE the device.
Be more specific next time. Seems your whining about how your order was processed and being pessimistic about the condition you'll get the device in. Even you say you won't be able to open it for a week.

Got a C6 from Gamestop this Saturday with no issues at all. More happy with the quality of the N7 out of the box than my previous Asus 201 tab

Way to go on reading skills there. Simply read the post and it is clear. My device will be at my house tomorrow, as it will be for thousands of others that ordered from the play store. Whether I'm there or not I open it until 3 days later is irrelevant. I would have created or posted to a thread like this regardless.
QC is a legitimate question to ask for a brand new device and there are some mysteries about this launch that make it doubly valid to find this out.

I think most people who pre-ordered from the Play store wont have their N7s until at earliest tomorrow. I think thats why some people earlier are confused, lol

Gotcha. This should help to see if there's any pattern to QC problems. At this point I'm guessing it's just random though since they are probably all C6's.

I'm very disappointed by the Play store.
1. Stores were able to sell their stock earlier than Google.
2. The $25 credit sounded like an exclusive, which is why I pre-ordered, but looks like every N7 has the credit regardless of purchase location.
3. Shipping cost, why am I paying $19.99 if I can order the same device somewhere else with free shipping and still get the credit.
Thinking of cancelling my order tomorrow and waiting to buy in-store or from another online retailer.

Cmon man... don't post this stuff here. It's not a ***** fest about the pre order. Most of us are upset... there's lots of threads about it. This is for people who have received play store orders to post their reviews or impressions, nothing more. I am curious to see if C6 is prefix for the per orders though!

Shipping box size and how well packed
No I have not received mine yet, but I am asking from those that do to included a description of packaging for all of us (from NZ and AUS) ordering from Google Play USA to determine cost of freight forwarding and/or whether to get them to re pack or not.
Air freight internationally is often charged by volumetric weight this is determined by size not actual weight. We know the Nexus 7 UPS states shipping weight is 1.6 or 1.7lbs.
Can anyone give the size of the shipping box? I estimate from youtube video to be 10 x 7 x 5 inches, can anyone confirm? If so this is a volumetric weight of 3lbs.
Also can someone comment on how well it is packed?

I pre-ordered 2 units from play store as soon as the page was live, I was able to buy a n7 from a B&M store yesterday and I have no word on the status of my deliveries yet from google. I'll post again once I receive the shipment of 2 to let you know if there are any discernable differences.

HTC One Pre-order newegg

so for those who have bad experience with wirefly and are looking for a cheap alternative for pre-ordering the HTC One newegg is doing a pretty decent pre-order for new/upgrades in both black and silver variants.
http://wireless.newegg.com/ecommerce/phones/?filterbybrand=208&referringdomain=newegg
in retrospect its a slight price difference being 129.99(newegg) vs 119.99(wirefly)
with their TEP versions being similar pricing
newegg -
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
$7.49 - Platinum Device and Data PLUS Protection - billed monthly View Details
wirefly-
$6.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed monthly View Details
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
additionally newegg does include free next day shipping vs wirefly's free standard
I for one will likely to go with the newegg route pending they are still offering it this friday. as i've had some issues in the past with wirefly.

Already wrote this in another thread, but I just wanted to throw this out there. Newegg Wireless and Wirefly are both run by Simplicity LLC, so you will be dealing directly with Simplicity by pre-ordering through either site. Newegg doesn't actually run through own "wireless" site. Simplicity technically "owns" the site, uses their name, and probably gives them x percentage for using their name and advertising. You can find more information on both websites.

damn thanks for that bit of information, it seemed weird the pre-order looked almost exactly like each other but that makes far more sense

Pre-ordered from newegg earlier today (don't know if im going to keep it over my note 2).. and now my order status says awaiting inventory... don't know if thats normal or they're low on stock.. guess I'll wait and see if it updates as it gets closer to release

So these are supposed to ship on the 19'th, correct? If that's the case, the 'next day' delivery service isn't going to mean much, as the 19'th is a Friday and the next business day is the 22'nd.

They have actually since changed their policy to read "ships when available" instead.
If they do ship on 4/19 though, next day service means you would receive your phone on Monday, while their standard 2-3 (business) day shipping would mean you could receive your phone as late as Wednesday. So it's still technically an improvement!

I ordered the 32GB black and it's since changed from "Ships When Available" to "When Pigs Fly". /s
Anyone else notice the black version isn't even listed any more? I'll be glad if I get it by the end of the month if not by the end of summer. Meanwhile, I will keep checking this thread and lurking in the main HTC One forum.
Edit: Just got an email right after I posted this from whereismyorder.com that the Black is delayed. They will switch me to Silver if I reply. Not sure what I am going to do.

This cache can be cleared, but you must do it manually. This bug can only be fixed with an update from HTC, will they release one?

Great Find!
Thanks OP! Ordered mine yesterday. I originally placed my order on 4/6 through the email that I got from htc, which was actually through Letstalk.com, but I cancelled it as soon as I saw this from Newegg.
I even got the Otterbox Commuter Case and it was still about $30 cheaper than going directly through htc. Great find, thanks!

Fyi. Newegg uses wirefly for their phone service. Your still buying from wirefly.

Tru,
But when I clicked on one of the privacy policy links it went to the wirefly site.
I thought it was ironic the op was complaining about wirefly but in the end it's all run by the same company.

thank for your information

thank you

pre-ordered one for my sister as a gift

Anyone receive shipping info

I asked Newegg support when I might expect to see it ship. They said they are expecting them to arrive at Newegg on the 19 and ship from their warehouse within 24hrs. Not sure how accurate this is, you'd think they'll want customers to be able to get the device when it launches...

That's a bummer. I was really hoping to have the phone this week, rather than next.

AT&T'rs... earliest ship date? [update: mine shipped today]

Mines August 18-20 for a white 64GB. What's everyone else getting?
Update: Premier said on the phone it would ship today and I didn't believe them. This is the first time ever I remember AT&T being first to ship a high-demand flagship. T-Mobile's supposed to start shipping tomorrow according to the BB website.

That date they give means nothing. I'm guessing it will ship the 17th or 18th.

Helpful tips for other ATT'rs about their ordering process. When all the payments are initially collected the taxes aren't known so they authorize $1. Your order will say "processed" once all the initial payments are done. Right before the shipping notification the order will go back to processing with no estimated ship date. That's AT&T processing the actual tax. Once that payment clears your order will changed to "shipped." Also, accessing your pending order through your AT&T account (vs. the online order checker) provides a more accurate result. The online order tracker still shows my device processing and it's in transit. Happy ordering.

I got the 64GB model. It had 52GB free (10GB for the system)

I just switched from Verizon to AT&T. They could not give me a definitive shipping date. I'm in pre-order status I guess. Also, I wasn't offered the silver or gold model, only black or white. Anyone have a choice of colors other than black or white from AT&T?

Bummer....thanks. BTW, does anyone know if the screen is completely flat? Just wanted to know if it would accommodate a tempered glass screen protector better than the Note 4.

Got my pre-order today, made an unboxing

I ordered from T-Force on T-Mobile on July 27th, got it delivered today, made a video:

Also, i highly recommend a Verizon Flexible Glass Display Protector:

Does that screen protector really look like that out of the box? I would like something like that because most of the protectors for this phone have a huge cutout at the top for all the sensors. Also are the edges rounded? Mind seem a little sharp. Thanks.

It does look like that

If you bought it outright. Yes. But it's hard to get there. Best way to do it would be calling and explaining the whole situation your in. They should be able to push the unlock to the app. There's usually a 40 day waiting period you have to wait. But I've heard stories about people doing what your doing and being able to request the unlock. I've also heard they tell people to use it on prepaid for 40 days and then being able to unlock it. Its about a 75/25 chance. Just call untill you get the right people. How did you order the device without an account

There's your answer lol

There's a limit per year. I think it's two. Generally I EIP the device and if I like it I'll pay it off. If I don't then I will jump it(I am on the original jump). Sometimes I will just buy outright like I did with the Note 7.
Be careful buying it because it's cheap. That person could do the BOGO get his device unlocked and switch carriers and leave the bill hanging. At that point you are SOL trying to get it unlocked.

I got my t-mobile model in today and have spent about 20 minutes on the phone with customer service trying to get it unlocked. The unlock device app was the first thing I tried and that did not work. I messaged the seller asking for him to contact t-mobile but I'm not expecting much to happen with that.
I'm about to go to the t-mobile store and speak with the employee who told me all I'd have to do is call and submit my imei and then I'd be unlocked. Part of me knew that was too good to be true but I was hopeful. If they can't figure it out in store I'm going to give the cell unlocker site a try.
If none of that works I will be selling it.

Has happened to me many times with T-Mobile. If you get on phone with the unlocking department just talk their ear off for an hour. Say the same things over and over and dont let them get off the phone. Be polite and just ask over and over and keep saying the same things like a robot, calmly. They will eventually either commit suicide right there on the spot or just unlock it. They have the power to unlock any phone at any time so dont believe their stories.

Samsung USA, only one trade in at a time.

Just an FYI. My wife and I both attempted to order the note 9 from Samsung directly, she put in her order a day after mine and her order got put on hold for the following reason attached. Don't understand it as TD Bank card is the method of financing thus even if they don't receive her trade in they can charge her the full amount anyways.

Yep, had the exact same thing. They told me this is a new procedure they started with the Note 9. Yippee. What is worse is they told me that the other one couldn’t ship till the trade-in phone for the first order is received and processed. I was like, “how long is that liable to take.” They couldn’t give me any specific time frame. I cancelled the second order. Tough on them.

Was wondering if you got any updates on your first trade in? Apparently there is no timeline. Lol
They received mine on Monday but still wife's note 9 order is in ordered status only. Cheers.

Nope, no updates yet. They got my trade on Tuesday. I will probably reach out to Samsung support this next week to see what is up.

The first thing they will say is , did your wife or husband get an email approving their respective trade in . When I traded in an s7 for the note 8 last year, I never got any emails approving my trade. Just a heads up.

So I actually just got an email this AM at like 2 something saying the phone was accepted and the trade was approved for the first order. Samsung support told me that it will take 24 hours and then the other order will be processed. But if not, to contact them back.

I just don't get it. Her credit line is enough to buy 2 more note 9 with out trade in, so even if she doesn't send it in, they can charge her TD account.

They can't see that though. That's why there is a hold because somone has probably abused to system of doing multiple trades and not having the funds.

No, that was a different order. Although depending on how long this one is going to end up taking, I may just cancel this one too.
