    Nexus 10 Review

    I have to say that I personally cannot decide if I want a Nexus 10, and Jerry certainly brings up things I thought about, as well. Well, strike that: I know I want one, but I don't know if it's worth it to get one since I received a Nexus 7 16 GB as a graduation present (and it's bloody...

    Nexus 10 Review

    Our good friend Jerry has posted his review! Thoughts and feelings?

    So now that there is no Verizon Nexus 4, what are you going to do/get?

    I am not upgrade eligible (or able to cancel my contract) until late next year, so I will just wait to see what happens. If the next Nexus phone is on Verizon, I will be all over it. If not, I may cancel in December and go elsewhere for the Nexus 5 (or whatever it ends up being called).

    is anyone returning their nexus 7 because of the glass issue?

    This was actually my situation. I hadn't noticed it until I looked because of a forum post somewhere (XDA, maybe). It's not a big deal, and most of the time I can't even tell, but I figured I may as well get it replaced just in case it could get a lot worse later. I just hope my replacement is...

    Google Wallet Kept Awake

    Yeah, if you don't need it, you may as well disable it. When you open it, is it working properly? I just noticed mine was stuck on "Initializing your device" because NFC wasn't turned on. Maybe your problem is something similar? I don't know. Just throwing stuff out there. It must be happening...

    Google Wallet Kept Awake

    Oh, wow, Explicit. Yeah, your situation is much more intense than mine. Not sure what to say about that one except you could "Force stop" it and see.

    Google Wallet Kept Awake

    Is this what you mean? As the one screenshot shows, Wallet is my second highest drainer. Considering I haven't even opened the app since I first downloaded it and set it up some time ago, it is a little surprising that it's taking so much battery.

    I Am Amazed By This Thing

    My only qualm is that I'm concerned that the glass on the center left of my screen being raised could get worse. Aside from that, which probably isn't really even a huge issue (I usually don't even notice it), I am definitely loving my Nexus 7. Getting updates straight from Google, Tegra 3...

    Poll! "Canceled" and went to retail?

    The waiting wasn't a big deal to me; I stuck with my Google Play order. My 16 GB one was waiting for me when I got home from work today (I ordered June 27th).

    For those who have taken delivery of their N7

    Yeah, it tends to depend on the driver that delivers it. I know that the UPS guy that delivers to my house always just leaves it on the porch, but it could easily be different for your driver. Of course, it's also probably pretty obvious to my driver that the area isn't exactly the biggest...

    Did Google fail at launch bad enough to ask for compensation?

    I have to vote "No" on this. It just doesn't seem to me that they really messed up. They never announced an official release date, and they are still within their originally stated 2-3 weeks window of shipping. I'm not entirely pleased that I have to wait after stores are letting them be...

    Anyone with a Tracking number - Report here!

    My order was placed June 27th at 7:27 PM CDT, and I received the tracking number today at 2:05 AM CDT. The number does work, but on the website, it just says a label has been created. According to the tracking information given to me by the UPS app, it says delivery is Monday (7-16).

    US release date could be July 12th!

    I got my email at 2:05 AM CDT, I looked up tracking number this morning, and it says the label was created 7-12-2012 with no other information. I ordered the 16 GB on the 27th at 7:27 PM CDT. There might be some hope for some to get their tablets, though, according to this image I grabbed from...

    US release date could be July 12th!

    To add to the madness: My order of the 16 GB Nexus 7 has moved up to be dated as today in the orders section of Google Play, like many others. It was ordered June 27th, though I don't recall an exact time except in the evening. I'm guessing the bank account has been charged, but since this is a...
