Database Develop

[Collecting data] Some for those who already have their tablets.

I've recently noticed some people reporting that their tablets are exhibiting a couple issues including light leakage, bezel separation among others. I want to get an even sample rate so that my findings are not biased, so I have setup a form.
even if your tablet is perfectly fine, please fill it out. i still have a few questions for you.
If you would like to help me you can do so here
The results are made public here

Glad I could help ya out

I was just thinking of doing this. Thanks for this thread I'll submit mine when my tablet arrives

Hate to be that guy but... Bump to first page.
Very eager to see more people fill I this survey.

Sweet,What a great idea!!! It looks like the best place so far was the PlayStore. Thanks for doing this

Perhaps you should add whether the model was the 8GB or 16GB to see if they're are quality control differences.

Good idea for trending and seeing what "really is going on in userland". I'm filling out, but will be returning mine for a hopeful replacement due to a dead pixel and some slight screen flashing.

Done....hope my input help.

Thanks for creating this! I'll be sure to update when I receive my tablet.

Just got mine in Portugal (courtesy of Ebuyer UK, Borderlinx + DHL).
It's flawless, really. I have no screen issues whatsoever (no bezel separation or raised display, dead pixels and leakages of any kind). I've always been lucky with my gadgets.
16GB model
EDIT: Survey filled

Same here, ebuyer UK ->forward2me in Holland. No complaints, just very happy.

Nice thread! Where do you post the results?

Problem on a thread like this - the ones with problems are many times more likely to see this thread and submit. Thus making it hard to get an accurate statistical probability for each problem.

May want to include a spot for Serial Numbers to see if it was a bad batch or if it is QC...

True, the stats will be a little misleading. Not to mention the other 90% (that's a stab in the dark) who don't post on this site at all. Still think its a great idea though.

I need to change my answers. I have noticed a couple of things on it, lol.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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?!

The Verge Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 15 minute video review

It was a good review. Not all hipster like the Apple videos.

Why Android?! Why Google?!
Excellence in simplicity and humility!
That's why I love Google and hoping my heart will never be broken.
Look at those guys on the video! They are so cool, speaking with such humility and Never ever comparing their work to some other contender. I like that and i feel comfortable buy their devices and using their services.
With such prices I can't complain much about the lack of sd slot or removable battery.
I'm in guys.

WhatPulse, XDA community interested?

Hi everyone, after having a discussion with MikeChannon (Forum Administrator) about this, he suggested making a thread to see how much interest it would gather and how the XDA community would feel.
(Edit by Mike: I don't know much about WhatPulse, so I'm neither recommending it nor rejecting it).
What is WhatPulse?
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatPulse
WhatPulse is a key counting program which monitors the number of keystrokes, mouseclicks, computer uptime, and bandwidth usage, that a user makes over a period of time. Unlike keyloggers, the authors claim WhatPulse does not record the order of the keys that are pressed, but instead measures the number of times that keys are pressed.[2]

WhatPulse is a keylogger!?!!? (always a worry for people)
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=is+WhatPulse+a+keylogger
Personally I've used it since 2006: http://whatpulse.org/TagEHeuer - not that I've used it much as I haven't really bothered with it.
I was thinking it would be a fun community group effort for everyone. They have thousands of teams on WhatPulse, it's just all in all a big load of fun! We'd make a team and just compete against other teams, it's also exposure for XDA.
You can see all the statistics here: http://whatpulse.org/stats/overall/numbers/
Remember it's just an idea, just wanted to hear how my fellow XDA members would feel, and if anyone would actually take part in this fun project, challenge. :good:
As always keep supporting the community with your great custom ROMS, mods, kernels, themes, apps, posts, etc. :highfive:
** I have registered the team XDADevelopers just so no one trolls and takes it. Of course if people are interested, the powers that be will get the team.

Anyone give me any feedback on why they wouldn't want to take part? Doesn't seem like something people would be interested in, or maybe I'm wrong?

I think this is pretty interesting. Maybe I'll take a more in-depth look at it on the weekend.

Its going to be LEGEND--wait for it--DARY!-Barney Stinson(How I Met Your Mother)

Hey,
I can certainly see the value of this, however, the majority of my keystrokes are done from my work computer.
Problem with that is, I'd have my neck on the chopping board if I circumvented the permissions and installed something such as this.
I would find.it.interesting to see how much I am communicating digitally though, as I do wonder if it has already passed the amount of face to face communication.

Thank you for looking at it. If we can get more people interested, then maybe we can do something. If you'd both vote on the poll that would be helpful. If you let more people know about this, that we would fantastic also. :good:

Word of advice, DO NOT trust anything IBTIMES says.
On another note I did see other sites reporting that Google knows about the battery drain issue and that a fix should be soon on its way but none of the sites I read from were credible sites.

Yes, google has indeed accepted this bug and working on a fix for it in the next update. However, they haven't exactly given a timeline for the next update!
Source: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=60058#c475

Think it should be made clear that its caused by the Camera.... if you don't see " mm-qcamera-daemon" in your battery , you don't have excessive drain
Its not going to be a miracle shot for amazing battery life on the N5 .

HU bro?!

I've been having poor battery the past few days. 4-5 hrs unplugged, 1 hour screen, 2-3 hours playing music and it went to 20%. Used to only use up 30-40% last week.
Will have to monitor closely.

Funny coincidence -- I wrote that article on the Nexus 5. I came into the forum looking for more hardware hacks like the one where you drill holes into the back of the Nexus 5, since I just broke my screen and was wondering if there was anything else I could tinker with while my case was open to make the N5 better. Couldn't find anything, but was happy to see someone shared my story.
Then, I saw @OuncE718's warning about the site I work for.
All I can say is that I stand by my reporting. My stories are factual, and trustworthy. I strive to adhere to the Society for Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics. (sorry for being long-winded, but I just want to start a dialogue).
I presented the facts as they appeared in that Google forum, and informed readers who didn't know about that particular battery life issue, as well as the Google's awareness of the issue -- and the project manager's comments on the matter.
The reason I didn't provide a timeline is because Google refuses to give a timeline for the fix -- it will likely appear in the 4.4.3 or a future release of Android. However, rather than speculating on that, I presented the facts. The truth is, Google doesn't know exactly when they will fix it.
Since I am in contact with Google's media relations, I can sometimes get answers to questions. More often than not, I am writing about something that Google can't talk about, like a future release, and they will not respond. However, especially when it considers issues that have not been brought to their attention, they will reach out to me and provide a statement. I would appreciate it if everybody here considered me a resource. The reason that I became a writer was to provide a public service when I can.
I want readers to be able to read my stories, and have some faith that I am doing my best to inform them truthfully.
If anyone has something newsworthy they would like to talk about, questions (or criticisms) about one of my stories, or a tip for something that they think would make a good story, I suggest you reach out to me on Twitter (@TommyLikey) or via email. Use my first initial (my name is Tom), then a period, then halleck at ibtimes dot com.
I write for the tech team. We strive to do good work, and I can't answer for the organization as a whole, but I can tell you that in my experience, it is filled with smart people who are trying to turn a newer news organization into something that we, and you our readers, can be proud of.
I am interested in your thoughts, concerns and criticisms.

If you have a problem with a story, you can (almost) always reach out to the reporter.
