Devices on Google Play: Did we help answer your question?

Hey everyone. Just want to reach out and make a suggestion to the folks who pre-ordered their N7's through Google Play. This morning I received an email from Google Play asking me to complete a satisfaction survey concerning their customer support in returning my email inquiry regarding N7 shipment status and the Googly Play store in general. So, I told them exactly what I thought they did wrong and how they could attempt to make amends with their customers.
I would like everyone to use this opportunity to offer CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM to the Google Play team. Sure, they ****ed up, but getting angry at them will most certainly not help the cause. Use the comments section of the survey to politely inform them of their mistakes in your opinion and they will be much more obliged to right this wrong. If you didn't get a survey then send them an email. Personally, I get satisfaction in knowing that a large corporation is forced to read my opinions
TL;DR - Politely tell Google Play how they ****ed up.

Please explain how they f'd up.
I don't see how they did.

If you don't think they did then this thread is not for you.

Yeah, I'm also wondering how the f'd up. Sure, I would have liked to receive my device before it hit stores, but they never said it would.
The one thing I'm disappointed with them about, is how they're not allowing for pre-orders of the N7 case. It seems like it comes on, sells out in under a minute, and it's back to out-of-stock. If you're lucky, very lucky, you can grab one. Why not do a first-come-first-serve pre-order?!

You just answered your own question .
There is a thread on this forum with thousands of posts that reflect my OPINION. Those are the folks I'm reaching out to.

If I get the survey, I'm going to complain about the Case situation for sure.

You'll probably have to email their customer service about it to get the survey

So you want us to help you take down a Facebook page because their sense of humor is different from your own?
No thanks.

Well all I want to no is how can this page still be left open and u say
"Because my since of humor is different of my own"
How can u possible justify that page that contains joke and pics of dead baby's can stay open! All I'm asking if anyone at Facebook could do something about it? Simple question not asking for you personally to help!

He didn't try to justify it. The Internet is full of much worse stuff. Maybe you should read up on Don Quixote.

I know there is but it came across to me as it was because people find it funny its acceptable.
all I'm trying to do is find out if someone can help to get it sorted because its coming up on kids profiles and its sick.
If people find it funny that is there opinion and there choice but when its on a public social network it need to be stopped! Its when I affects he lives of people that have overcome something of this nature or a child viewing it, it then becomes a different story.

For starters people under the age of 13 shouldn't be on Facebook to begin with, it is against the Terms of Service for that site.
Secondly, any children who are on Facebook should be supervised by their parents. That is part of the responsibility of being a parent.
Third, if the page offends you then simply block it from showing up on your news feed and suggest that others do the same.
Fourth, I looked at that page and there are only 1 maybe 2 images that are actually disturbing due to the fact that they are actual people. The rest are just cartoons, a good number of which are from Cyanide and Happiness a site that always pushes the line of what is "appropriate".
Frankly I can't stand people who always want something banned or taken down just because you don't like it. Here's a thought if you don't like it, don't look at it. It honestly is that simple. It's not like this page just magically shows up places, I didn't know it existed until you pointed it out. If they find that type of humor funny fine let them have their page. It's called freedom of speech.
echaynes please don't make personal attacks on here. If you disagree with what he has posted please respond in a slightly more objective manner.

This is obviously the most important issue facing our nation today. I for one will not sleep until facebook makes galaxys2Tav into the morality czar of not just facebook but the entire world wide web. There is obviously nobody more qualified to make these important moral decisions for us. Who else will think of the children?
If we don't wipe out every single trace of anything we disagree with who will keep the children from turning into people who disagree with us? How will they grow up to be just as ignorant as we are?

Like I said before it was a question to what can be done about it. I don't see why people on xda have to be so lippy about it and make sarcastic remarks. Sorry I don't agree with it but to me its seems like I'm getting called for been a "troll" and and idiot because the fact is its on a social network. If it was on xda do u not think a mod would close it as it goes beyond peoples "humor".
To save all trouble can a mod just close this thread because I'm not been made to look a mug.

Not everyone said stuff like that. Personally I attempted to make logical arguments about why I would not assist you in the closing of that Facebook page.
Furthermore the Terms of Service for XDA and the Terms of Service for Facebook are both different. So no I would not expect that Facebook page to be treated the same as it would on here.

First Batch of Nexus 4 a trial run by Google?

Many people have been toying with the idea that, the Nexus 4, being a Nexus device, could be riddled with bugs and glitches at the time of release, and thus have only placed a small amount of stock for sale so those issues only stay among a small amount of people.
The guys at Google, instead of testing for hours on end, let the public do so, and then check up on sites, like this one, for issues people have with the phone and thus fix it up. This could explain why the Bumpers are already stocked, but the phones themselves are looking to be released Black Friday, several days after, and this time, with a whole lot more stock as they have to take into account the back orders, as well poor guys like me who missed out.
What are your thoughts on this?

Wouldn't that be unfair to the people who managed to buy it out first? I mean they are essentially paying the same amount for a phone that is supposed to have the kinks sorted out already, not pay to have a phone in beta testing. But I really hope this is the case, and Google not only sorts out these issues but also offers compensation to the early adopters as to make everyone happy and fair!

Tin Foil Hat time for you i think...

Where did you see stocked bumpers?

Negative, the nexus one was the trial run.

Doubtful. I just don't think Google anticipated it being quite so popular. Worst of all, they allowed you to purchase up to 5 in one hit, which more then a handful of people did. 1-2 max on launch and up to a week or two after in my opinion. This would have ensured 'a lot' more people actually got a phone and it would have stopped eBay being flooded with N4's by people looking to make a quick buck.

Every nexus phone is trails . We get it test it Google updates other OEM make there phones with the new version. As far are you tin foil hat about a multi billion dollar company not testing I doubt that

There's a reason that reputable sites like The Verge and Android Police are referencing it from evleaks twitter account. evleaks has been in the game for a long time and is rarely wrong about anything he posts. It's usually a safe bet that if he puts it out there, then it's going to come to pass.

What i'm trying to say is there is something wrong with that leak.
Maybe we'll have a white nexus 5, maybe not (most certaintly yes), but the inconsistency in the image is visible.

I would not say verge and android police are reputable sites.
These guys just follow the standard blogging information dissemination of re-posting the same info/stuff everywhere.
That being said I'm definitely getting a white nexus.

It is NOT a fake.
Look at the official black render from the Google Play Store page, it have the "issue" about powerbutton and camera too. It is simply an error that comes from LG/Google

Not sure why you say they're not reputable sites. They've got a history of fairly accurate reporting, a few "sources" that they can identify legitimacy from, and they tend to pass on things that common blogs gobble up and spew out. Despite all the leaks of release dates as an example, I saw no indication from either of anything until the evleaks post, which many including other sites like Android Central and Engadget use.
Add to that the Google themselves left a message to the Android Police apk teardown team in the code of the latest Google Play Store release before it went live. Watching the G+ Nexus community post blog after blog talking about "unofficial" this and that, with no coverage from sites like Android Central, Android Police, The Verge and Engadget shows that they don't tend to simply post whatever is floating out there, they take their time to vet it.
Like any news outlets, of course they've been fooled a couple of times but overall their accuracy, as well as tact in reporting make them more reputable in my eyes.
And black Nexus 5 for me please, though I will admit that it is the first white phone I've ever even remotely thought of getting.

Show me a more reliable source of information on this phone than Android Police, @evleaks, or The Verge.
None of these sites have ever claimed to know "facts", they simply put the information out there with a disclaimer to "take this with a grain of salt".

Remember last year when Google was going to announce the N4 and the event got cancelled because of the giant storm in New York? They invited The Verge's Editor in Chief personally instead and announced it there.

Anyway, kind of brings me back to my original point. Many reputable tech publications across the board follow the evleaks twitter. Head over to his and look at his followers, you'll see many tech giants in there. Take a look at this article that talks more in depth about Evan Blass (evleaks) and you'll see why he's someone that the tech industry pays very close attention to.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...rview-with-evan-blass-the-man-behind-evleaks/

Well not to rehash this.
I think what I said was misinterpreted.
There certainly are many reputable sources (industry insiders, distributors, manufactures, people closely connected and etc) out there and evleaks is definitely one of them. When it comes down to exclusives, breaking news and leaks these kinds of sources are generally very reputable because they're in the heart of it and in the know.
However, these blog organizations are just outsiders who just quote reputable sources - in this case they basically just posted what evleaks wrote. In a sense all they did was "retweet" what evleaks. Saying what the other reliable guy say doesn't make you, yourself, a reputable organization. That rep comes from the own content you produce and the way you vet information.
When it comes down it, these blog sites are just all following the same sources on twitter or whatever. Most people here probably follow these same sources as well. These are not exclusive sources who only give your organization exclusive information - this is free information that is posted for all to see and it's just being passed around/circlejerked by all the blog sites and even xda right now.
As for the content these blog sites actually produce. Well the way these blog editors review products is cursory and superficial at best. Whenever, I watch a review posted by a blogging site I can tell they haven't dug deep enough and that's because those guys aren't real industry experts or even "power" users. I'd love it if these guys actually would dive in their products more and even disassemble the products to check the quality of the internal components. I know alot people who use a product heavily or for a particular purpose/industry would really love and appreciate that.
That's where I'm coming from and that's my two cents.
Now back on the subject.
I really hope they do simultaneously release both colors.
I always hate it when they release the white version 3-5 months after.

It may be a fake rendering, but the information itself may be real. Evleaks has always been dead on with his stuff in the past, so I think his leak is credible.

Two new Samsung phones.

Not really allowed to get into details, since I signed a confidentiality agreement, but Samsung has two new phone coming out very soon. I'm sure they will both be announced at the unpack event on the 13th, but some people like a jump on that. Big battery and both with large screens. The battery life on my Edge has been incredibly poor, I need this larger battery bad!

If they don't have dual antennas, the writing is on the wall for VZW. These new phones with Advanced Calling are virtually worthless. They have two ways they can save the mass exodus...fix their network so people have 4g 100% of the time or move to GSM. I don't think either one are likely.

Yeah, good on you for throwing a heads up though, you never know who is out of the loop. I sometimes browse phones I am interested in here first... and though I as well have read about and seen the leaks, some people may not have. This may be good enough reason for someone to hold out on upgrading, so the information is always helpful to someone. Especially if XDA is your main or first source for device info. This is the wrong thread though, not a Q&A/troubleshooting - I would have thrown it in general.
