last years screen shot from carphone had nexus 4 white in stock so i wouldnt put to much faith into them...
Right, I just phoned Gary at CW.
He didn't have any in stock straight away, but when i told him to search LGNEXUS5WHIT he saw it on the screen,....he was pretty shocked that I knew what he should search.
Anyway, he said they are in stock but there's nothing he can do about reserving it etc.
he game me his number and name and said he'd be happy to keep checking. I told him he'll probably be inundated with calls tonight enquiring anyway.

I think I remember that as well
I'm going to go ahead and get excited about this anyways :highfive:
Ok so starting to get a little worried here.
They show 2 versions available (Black and Black & White) but are both 16GB versions? I mean what are the chances Google will launch 4 different versions of this phone in both colors and both in 16 & 32 GB versions?
I don't know if this has been posted before, I searched around but couldn't find anything on it. I don't know if this is a sign of a new nexus coming soon, but I just had to do a RMA on my nexus 5 because the screen is turning white at the top, and when i asked if i would be getting a refurb phone as a replacement, he said that 2 weeks ago google switched to using nothing but refurb phones as replacements for the nexus 5 because it is now classified as "out of production" in their internal systems. It sounds to me like they are ramping down production in preparation for something new, but it might also just be their excuse for going to using refurb phones as replacements lol.
well, expect a new nexus in october/november, and its not that far away..

Yeah that's when one is expected, I just thought it was a interesting piece of info with all talk floating around about the nexus line being fazed out, they woulding be putting it as "out of production" unless something was taking it's place soon.

As stated by KJ, there is one thread for discussion on the Nexus 6.
Thread closed.
I always loved flashing different ROMs for my phone, that's the reason I'm always buying nexus line.
Now with this pre order fiasco, do you think the development scene will be as good as the nexus 5?
Firstly, it's much more expensive, lesser people would want to brick their new phone.
Then there's not many who manage to buy it, if there's no developers, it would not be a popular phone as the nexus 5 to build ROMs for.
What you think? Did Google kill off the third party development scene?

Well, there was't many people getting the first patch of Nexus 5 last year either.
And there will always be the second round, and the third.
There could be more development as vzw and att have the phone and they traditionally have had locked bootloaders....
I will expect custom ROMS to arrive quite quickly to be honest........
Actually i did not have any problems buying my nexus 5. And I'm in the first batch
But isn't the development an international effort?
Most of the developers i know does not comes from the US
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Its both and most development is international for nexus but it doesnt matter as the phone is the same .... locked bootloaders on devices means that people will start migrating to nexus or dev edition like note 4 on vzw ...,
I think you're getting ahead of yourself here, and asking if google killed off the development scene is pretty ridiculous. The phone isn't even out yet. There was no "fiasco"... they sold out of their initial preorder stock, oh noes! We all knew it was gonna happen. It's not like they won't be widely available in a short amount of time. It's a Nexus device, there will be plenty of development. The only cheap Nexus phones were the N4 and N5, the rest all had premium price tags and there was plenty of development for all of them. Just sit back, wait for the phone to actually come out, and I promise from the bottom of my wittle heart, development will pick up.

It's not just you, bud... EVERYBODY is. I'm pretty sure my neck is sprained from shaking my head so much at all the things people have been whining about. Everybody needs to just chill out.
Just look at the dev sections for previous Nexus devices, GNex, N4, N5...........some of the most active development on XDA.
Lack of development will NOT be an issue for this device.
Nexus6 and XDA development go hand in hand!

There is a very big difference between locked bootloader for nexus and one on say the vzw note 4 ....the nexus unlocked by "fastboot oem unlock" but bootloaders on lg some samsung phones etc are locked and encrypted ie usually very hard to unlock if at all. ..

If you follow the nexus line. The pre order is always like this. I had first batch in n5 and development was still quick. Especially with lollipop, I will get used to it and before you know it I will be flashing.

This must be your first nexus device and first time in the scene (so I will hope). Stop over thinking it
No just head over and look at the M8 development forum. There's plenty of development there. And regardless Id still be scared of bricking a $350 phone as much as a $600 phone
Can anyone provide a point-by-point difference between the two other than "SM-N910T3 is just better"?
I've seen the question asked a few times in previous threads, reddit but I have not seen anything conclusive.
Also it seems the initial question becomes a quick after thought because it quickly delves into rooting questions, which I do not care about at this point.
I get that SM-N910T3 has 5.1.1. but what else? Heck even if its a best guess I'd love to hear it here.
For now this is what I got from Reddit:
pomidorable 2 points 14 days ago said:
Samsung likely changed suppliers for one or more of the key components (likely a cost reduction measure for a phone that's about to go out of production in a few months), and as such the ROM had to be altered to support it.

Thanks in advance.
It at least seems that T3 does not suffer from any of those GPS issues people were reporting on "regular" Ts. I got T3 myself, would be happy to answer any questions I can

Anything and everything sir. What else did you notice? Does it still lag?
No lag that I noticed on 5.1.1. I haven't had note running on previous builds so hard to compare. Coming from Lg G4 and Note 3 before that

For what it's worth I had the N910A (on AT&T) for about 9 months. The T3 seems much snappier. It has it's quirks though, the pen icon gets stuck on in the notification bar and so does the headphone icon.

My pen icon gets stuck occasionally as well, I think it's a 5.1.1 issue unfortunately.

What was wrong with it that Samsung had to fix it? How did you get a newer phone and then your old phone back?
I ask because mine is starting throw fits like a stubborn mule and its really pissing me off. If it doesn't just lock up and freeze, its bt connections or dropped calls.
So the n910t3 is the developers edition?

Learned something new.. I was just had a long text chat with samsung suppoprt... it looks like the n910t3 may be the developer edition? they checked a few IMEI numbers / serial numbers and confirmed my device was developer edition which may explain the model number difference and may explain the 5.1.1 while n910t is left at 5.0.1 for now. Samsung also confirmed that Tmo has 5.1.1 and it's up to them to decide when / if to deploy it.

That's what Samsung told me over chat too. I have the chat saved. The rep also said I could go into a store and specifically request one (though I don't think that's right). I wonder why they're selling them? Possibly a large shipment was ordered in error? I wonder what the difference is aside from having 5.1.1. I know on the ROM development side of things, everything is mostly compatible.
I had that suspicion though too; I asked if it was an internal developer edition meant for testing updates before they're released to the public, and the Samsung rep reassured me that's exactly what it was. I wonder why they're for sale though.

BAH! Who knows and who cares now I guess. I just got off the phone with Tmobile and they told me its just a software update. Then I found this article pretty much saying the same thing, from last month.

My phone completely died. Turn around was about a week and a day.
Ok so about the SM-N910T3 compared to my previous 910T and what I've accidentally...
Ok so a few things I've accidentally noticed about my T3.
First off, Had to get my Note 4 replaced by T-mobile 2 days ago, they said it was on backorder, so I get a brand new Note 4 direct from Samsung and then I realized the registration screens looked slightly different, so I went to the settings menu, I'm like "Something doesn't feel right" so then I found it, 5.1.1 which I tried updating my 910T 3 days ago, and wouldn't go beyond 5.0.1 THEN found out it was the N910T3 that i Had just gotten.
After careful review on my old NOTE 4 to still send back, the glass on the Note 4 curves down INTO the walls around the edge of the phone. about 0.5mm depth, on the SM-N910T3 it doesn't. It curves down, but almost PERFECTLY LEVEL to the edge walls., ALSO haven't gotten to try the GPS thing yet, but mine worked FAIRLY well always anyways.
The OTHER major thing I've noticed, and this is WITHOUT the battery, since a charged battery weighs slightly more than an uncharged one.
119g for the SM-N910T vs 123g for the SM-N910T3 == 4grams difference in weight? S-pen is the same, both with a sim card and microSD card, no battery. Hardware upgrade?
I said screw it in the end and ponied up to buy a new one. I swear to gawd every employee looked at me crossed eyed when I told them I didn't want to buy the Note 5.
I must have gotten the last normal note 4 then through warranty because that is what they sent me. I called Tmobile and tried to get it resolved but they told me to contact Samsung (I did) and they told me they were just going to fix my phone and I'd be without one for about 10 days.
As for differences I did notice the extra option at boot up too. My GPS seems to lock a lot faster. I will have to keep playing with it though to verify as I haven't had much time to go through it yet but I will say the Samsung Smart Switch was very nifty in getting my settings transferred over.

at the prices that its available for nowadays, its VERY MUCH worth it. as it still butts heads with the best of ths smartphones
and i think that i remember you, either from the g1 or nexus one..
Until another 6inch AMOLED phone comes along, I'm never giving up my n6.
Eh, I love my Nexus 6 for many reasons, but honestly, I got an lg g flex 2 for a really good deal and switched back to a "carrier phone" and man, as far as processors, night and day difference. Now I haven't really run into the overheat thing that plagues the sd810. But day to day things, even just restating my device is snappier. The only thing I will say, not having access to update whenever I want (at least when google gives us factory images) sucks big time. I forgot how bad it is to wait on carriers/manufacturers

I know I remember him. We both had, or have in my case, the Dell Streak. Just to briefly reminisce, more than a few of us loved that device to the point we swore we'd never go back to anything with a smaller screen. Keep in mind that this is 2010-2011, when the average screen was between 3 and 3-1/2 inches. In 2011 5-inch screens weren't common and unlocked devices sold directly by the manufacturer were unheard of. The Streak had both, but poor marketing and flawed expectations on Dell's part helped kill it.
Take a look at the development pages... It's a Nexus! There's still work on the GNexus
