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!

Your a star mate, havent applied the tweaks as i only got the phone this morning and sadly ive had to come into the office . But ill give those tweaks a go later tonight...didnt realise it was worth putting them on because i was udner the impression that they only applied to the 1.34 or 1.35 roms.
Thanks again

hehe no, huge difference on any roms.
I know how you feel, thursday i got my phone and less than 1 hour later i had to go out for a meeting. I had the touch decision to leave it in the office charging, or take it with me... i took it with me lol
Todays the first proper whole day i've had with it.. fiddling with tomtom7 now.
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...

Wow that looks bad. Reminds me of landing issues from CRTs.

thanks for the sympathy! I hope so too, but contacting google for support is a PITA. I already sent an email but I will call again tomorrow.
Honestly, this is the 2nd and last time I will purchase any physical device straight from google. Trying to contact customer support is such a challenge. I'll just go back to amazon for all my purchasing needs
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.
Your leds are dead. Definitely need a replacement.

I would be happy to get you have lol mine is half green with like glitches in the screen so I though oh ok maybe it's just stuck pixels so I turned on the pixel finder app and it's a beautiful color of which ever color all colors are perfect so that's confusing.

Yeah, I just got off the phone with them about 15 minutes ago after a 53 minute wait. I believe they are 24 hour service.
thanks, I guess ill get some BF3 in while I wait lol!
strange... they said they will contact me again later on. I already got the email from them with just the basic ticket info. He didn't mention anything about overnighting me another unit.
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.
Looks like a gap has developed allowing backlight to seep through. Try reseating the assembly as others have stated or just RMA.

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.
So pretty much I ordered my nexus 7 right when it was announced, and due to a shipping error Google wanted another 8 weeks to get it to me from release so I canceled my order. Being the impatient idiot that I am I went and bought a new one off eBay. I am aware of the screen separation issue and it seems that it is affecting my unit on the left side of the screen. It annoys me a bit but I'll live. But my question is will the screen separation slowly get worse and spread? I haven't found a very clear answer.
I would say yes. Mine was 100% fine when I got it, 11 days ago and now has lift and creaking. Seems not as responsive. Sounds like bad first batch

Hmm I really hope that isn't the case with mine because I don't think I'll be able to get Google to replace it because I bought it from eBay. I haven't noticed much of change with mine from day one, but it'd be nice to hear responses from a few other people so I know how screwed I am hahahaha
And I bet you paid 2x the price with no warranty so it can't be fixed now

Thank you. I'm just not sure if its worth replacing at this time because of how back ordered the tablets are. I'm on vacation so I don't have the ability to talk to google right now I just hope the screen doesn't fall apart on me.

I got 2 defective N7's....returned them. My plan is to wait until the 2nd "batch" with no defects. Maybe in few months, I will try again.
You should probably return and do what I (and many others), are doing. Wait.
My thinking was, I paid $275 for this, and its defective. Did I come looking for a perfect tablet? Yes. Not a defective one. Its really your call, but I can tell you the problem won't get any better.
Cheers
Mine was just noticeable on day one, within days the screen was visibly moving just by handling the tablet.
So there is every chance it will get worse so I would say get it replaced.
By the same token, there is every chance a replacement will have the same problem and just as much chance that you will get a perfect unit that develops a fault later on.
Suppose it's down to what yo are prepared to put up with.
Personally, if it turned out every unit in the world had a problem I would live with it and just try to find a fix but knowing that there ARE perfeclt good units out there makes it harder to live with.
I'm planning on getting a warranty from squaretrade for the tablet. Mine is fine but just in case something develops down the line I like to have peace of mind
Eh. $40 for a $200 device seems a little much.
kinda off topic but
my screen started something very strange today..
it has these little lines about 1/2 inch long running up and down it at random locations. It looks kinda like some type of render tearing. When you twist the tablet from side to side they kinda glow then go away. They look off shades of the colors being produced by those pixels.. I just noticed this thread and thought i would post here instead of starting another Thread.. Hope you do not mind.
Its so faint i cant get a picture of it at all. Sorry about this.. My question is has anyone ever seen anything like this.. It reminds me of the grid if code on matrix but its not that bad . its always at the same position until you power off then they are right back but different / random locations. They are not lined up in any way except it runs same directing. vertically

I'm one of you now...
A story most of you would appreciate (or empathize with).
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.

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

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.

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.
Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.
nice? possible to change into a higher mah battery?

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Fair enough I guess.
I did the very same with my Nexus 4. Using tiny bits of tissue. Dunno why everyone is crying about it, its a very simple fix!
Thanks mate
I'm getting my N5 tomorrow, and living in a country not supported by Google Play Devices, it's nice to know that I can fix stuff like that myself
Stick it in a case, that should do it.

I have a case for it that I got off ebay, a clear tpu gel one. It muffles the sound but it is still there, plus I really like the feel of the phone and in the case you lose that.

The battery seems easy enough to remove, so if there were one available I suppose it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to change

If you check further down the General section you'll see yesterday I posted screenshots where I got almost 7 hours of screen on time over an 11 or so hour period with the N5 Admittedly that was 99% on wifi, but it's still good

I see....
I think its because my network signal is mostly yellow, whilst yours is almost all green. I wonder if we can change the radios?
eh... my N5 power button rattles isn't as bad as my iPhone 4s power button rattle
not concerned, thanks for the head up tho OP! :good:
The more Im reading, the creepier it gets for me Only because I'm gonna make someone buy the phone for me and send it, so there would be no chance of return if I saw any kind of defects. Just why all these reports of rattles, dead pixels, after vibration weird sound...ughhhh! Was planning to buy it from Carphone Warehouse...
