Received Glass Invite... should i do it? - Glass Q&A

Title says it all...
I got my invite today, $1,500 and Glass can be mine.
I've been really intrigued by glass since it was announced.
I'm not a programmer but a tech. enthusiast who would really like to take advantage of some of the features of glass.
I like the idea of having the navigation on my heads up while driving, as well as seeing messages/emails etc.
So... what do you think... is it worth it, will it come down in price next year?
I can spend the $1500... but SHOULD I!?
LOL.
Thanks all.

I just bought a pair, and know someone that is also interested.
Did you click on the link in the email? If you did while connected to your google account, then it can't be used by another user.
Otherwise I'm interested.

If he did click it, he can buy it and then have your friend just buy directly from him. Google isn't locking us down any more.

Like you I'm not a developer but a big tech enthusiast who wants to learn as much about wearable tech as possible. Please send me an invite if it's still available. I'll be eternally grateful. If not thanks any way for the offer. It was very kind of you.

I understand. What did you have in mind? Reply here or PM if need be.

got one yesterday as well. ordered for pickup. however if you don't pick up they refund the money to your card. Still debating.......
It is really neat, but it also has a lot of shortfalls. Primarily battery life.
AND It's a lot of money

I got an invite to google glass yesterday, and was also wondering if I should do it. Does anyone know what happens if a new cheaper version comes out? Do you have to buy it again?
Also I can't see why this would be an issue but does anyone know if glass works on phones using custom ROMs?

Google has said that the current XE-C is, hardware-wise, what the commercial version will be. They already allowed the owners of XE-B to exchange theirs for XE-C for free, so if Google did make further changes then I bet they'd do it again.
I am running CM11 and have no issues. I would not expect there to be, so long as the ROM has a proper Bluetooth stack.

Yes it works with roms. Play store has an app that you download to phone, and set up glass that way. You can wifi and bluetooth to your phone for calls, sms etc. I have a note 3 rommed and using them now. IMO- they are not $1500 cool. May be sending mine back within the 30 days... still playing with them

Unlocked Tytn II for Sale with Accessories $200

I have an unlocked TytnII for sale. It is in great shape but does seem to have the backlight bug. I have always managed it with S2U2. Great for anyone who loves flashing or cooking. I moved on to the touch pro so this needs a new home.
Includes box-wall charger-usb cable-extra battery-wall/usb charger for battery-seidio holster-seidio innocase
Accessories alone are worth it! $200 plus shipping.
Sorry....that is $200US + shipping. I am in Arizona and would prefer shipping to the US as shipping international is cost prohibitive. However if you want to pick up the cost of international shipping we can discuss!
Let me know,
Josh

Would that be 200 New Zealand Dollars? It would help your chances of selling it if you tell us where you are (and complete your forum profile for country/network while you're at it). Different countries have different wall jacks/mains voltages and network types. It's essential info missing off your ad.

Luckily for me (and unfortunately for you), 3 hours of work later and three trips to the hardware store for tools I got my Tilt working like brand new. It sure sucks that you have to dissemble the entire damn thing just to get at the screen though, heh. I'll mention your tilt to anyone I know who might be interested, but I'm sorry for getting your hopes up.

[Q] where to find limited edition back covers?

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???
Thanks

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.

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 :[

Moving On

Ok...First, I love this phone, I love this community and everyone in it.
I got the opportunity to move to the Galaxy Nexus and I jumped. I love the phone..Its missing some of the hard core that the Revolution has but its a trade off.
That being said, I now have a Revolution, two oem batteries, a Extended battery, kickstand case and dock that I no longer need. Anyone interested or know of anyone who might be?
Throw me a pm.
I will keep around this forum because, honestly, its much cleaner and more fun to read that some of the others around!
Thanks to everyone who helped this noob become less of a noob.

As a REVO user who really wants a Nexus I have two questions if you don't mind.
1. What opportunity did you come across to get the galaxy Nexus? I only ask because I heard of an upgrade option through Verizon where the phone was free, but I am not eligible for an upgrade yet, so I was wondering if you knew of a different offer.
2. What do you mean by it's missing the hard core that the REVO has? I'm curious to hear what the REVO offers that the Nexus doesn't?
The GingerVolt2.0 rom is a good rom. I'm running it now with no issues

What do you want for all your goods? I can swing by and pick it all up. I am heading to North County today to Christian. And of course live in the area so if today don't work for you.
not to throw a wrench in any deal, but you might consider offering to lend it to a developer in the revolution android developer's forum to see if they can expedite building a cm9 build.

1. The opportunity was me wanting it and having an upgrade available. The timing was right, no special deals or anything (mainly my wife was in a decent mood and let me)
2. The Revo just seems hard core when you hold it in your hands. Its sings This is MY PHONE!!!, the Nexus is thin and slick...Which is cool and groovy. I enjoy the Nexus a lot. I wasn't sure at first that I would like it. ICS is a tad weird and takes some getting used to. Like all phone purchasing decisions, its a personal decision. Grab the NEXUS, Hold the Nexus...You decide....

It is a myth. Actually it was a scam. Verizon says there is no such promotion. They are however sending out emails offering 100 dollars off any LTE phone via their website. I got that email yesterday as they try to convince me to upgrade one of my other 2 phone lines.
It was a one day only thing it appears because the email is linked to a web page the offer in the email has changed to a bogo deal for the crappy stratus

Hey everyone =\ need your help

On Friday after getting home from work my home was broken into. They took my TV, Chromecast and laptop along with a few other things. My question is if they connect the Chromecast to the internet would there be a way to track them? If I call google and give them the serial number would they possibly help me out?

Technically possible? Yes (assuming the unit was set to send the chromcast ID and or MAC). Would they do it? Not directly to you. Maybe if you contacted police, letting them know this, and if they saw fit to they could issue a warrant for such information then google would act on it according to policy, that would be in a perfect world, In our world, typically, the police probably won't take the time to do it, but it's worth a shot if the value of the property stolen makes it so.
Good luck, hope they get the scumbags...and your stuff back.

No problem. I, for one, would be extremely interested in what happens, i.e. if they (cops) use this method and if it works (google helps out). So if you could update this thread, I would be appreciative as well.

Oh man, so sorry to hear that! Since you know your serial number (always a good thing), definitely let the police know. Not sure if Google can help (I believe you have to "opt in" to sending serial number, as it defaults to not unless it was registered as a development unit), but hope you get your stuff back and find the scumbags!!
Alright so I called and I told them what happened. Apparently the Serial Number is only for those to use in case the device breaks or what not. But the rep did tell me have the Detective who's in charge of my case call them to talk to the supervisor. They could have just told me sorry that's all we can do for you. But then again I brought up the Chromebook that was stolen as well. I'll keep you guys updated

What they said is actually true thats all they use it for but they can probably track the device if they were legally asked to do so...
A Police officer could do that if he had the proper court order which they can easily get since you're willing to let them search for it.
Ideas for replacement.. NOT trying to sound insensitive here.. Craigslist has DLP TVs with a white dot problem for around $50-100.. That's a 65" TV.. No thief would steal that.. It's to much to lift. They have a beautiful picture and if you talk to me, you can get the chip that fixes the white dot problem for free from Mitsubishi.

Huawei Mate 20 pro Canadian discussion thread

This is looking to be an epic phone guys. ??? Mine is already pre-ordered since this morning. Who else is getting this bad boy? What feature's got you most excited?
I'm getting it! Pre-ordering tomorrow through Bell. I'm excited about everything to be honest. I've been strictly with LG the past few years and have been making a ton of themes for it so I'm looking forward to a completely new device and experience...and of course to theme it!
But yeah for exciting features I'd have to say the camera is right up there with the in screen fingerprint scanner. I'm reading conflicting reports though about the ir feature. Some say it works as an it blaster to control a tv and some say it doesn't and just does the facial recognition thing. If it does do the tv function then that will also be something I love!

Mark Bencze in the house! Now you got me even more excited. Yeah man I remember rocking your themes on my LG G7 thinq which was a low key awesome phone btw. But yeah prepare to be amazed if the mate 20 is better than the p20 were in for a treat. I remember finishing work at 5 with 86% battery. That phone was beast. Anyway you give me even more reason to be looking forward to that phone. I always have more than one device so let me know if you need a tester. ?
I called Bell today and they aren't doing pre-orders quite yet. Hopefully they do soon so I can get everything taken care of.
Looks like we're the only 2 Canadians getting this phone[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I am on the fence. Given the screen issues that are reported I want to see what batches we get in Canada. Plus lack of getting bootloader unlock (though not a must have) may be the deal-breaker for me... I wonder if the prices on 2 year contracts will be good on Black Friday.
I am also about to order this phone from Fido, however, only concern is the screen.
Not sure how warranty would work, i want to buy the phone (full price).

So far, all the unboxing videos showed an included transparent case. So I would say yes but I ordered one from Amazon just in case. No pun intended. As far as the official ones, did you try Huawei's website?

Those are solid points. As far as the screen issue goes well you have 15 days to return or exchange the phone. If you wait you miss out on the free Huawei watch 2 (if that matters to you.

I pre-ordered mine on the 26th from Rogers, and just called in today to get an update. Nothing in the system yet, but hopefully they're still ready to deliver on the 7th/8th.
I asked what the return policy was, and she did mention I have the 15 days if I change my mind. I recommend all of you to use it like crazy to detect any of the green screen issues early on!
Let's all keep each other posted on when we receive it and if we notice any issues.
Looks like no freebies from Bell which really bothers me. They're the only ones not offering anything when you pre-order. I'm still grabbing one but I'm disappointed they're not offering anything.

Yeah I called a Bell world store and was told the same thing. They said it's for new activations only though aka 2 year deal and I'm buying mine outright so I likely won't get it unless I get lucky. Fingers crossed. Thursday morning I'm grabbing it!
