[Q] Goole PS Orders: Please comment if your screen touch sensitivity is borked - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Thread title says it all.
A lot of people buying retail are having issues and if I knew the Google ones were a better batch I'd order direct but do NOT want to get another bad unit without the luxury of exchanging in store.
Thanks.

Bought mine from Staples in Phoenix, AZ and haven't had any of the issues or problems that others are reporting. Don't think anyone retailer will be any better than another. Best advice if you're worried is make sure to check the retailers return policy. Staples has a no questions asked return policy for 14 days as long as you return it with the receipt and original packaging. Buy stuff from them all the time and return items and as long as you've got the receipt never had an issue.

Looking to sell my Lapdock -$200 O.B.O.

Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?
Refurbished lapdocks sell for $175.99 with free 2 day shipping from the AT&T website. Mine looked brand new.
Please ignore this post.
shipping to Nova Scotia Canada ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Disclaimers: I don't know anyone in this thread, I am not selling or buying a lapdock, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, and I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. I just ask the opposite question as you: why is the OP not allowed to sell his lapdock for whatever the market pays?

1saleaday Lapdocks (Again) ~$60

For anyone still looking to snag one, http://1saleaday.com/ has the lapdock for sale again. $54.99, plus what I would imagine is their standard $5 shipping.
Edit---------
As mentioned by pre4speed, they decreased the rice by $5. Curious -- I have never seen them do that on their site before.
When will these sales be available outside the US ?
NM...............n00b moment!
Just received mine today. Opened it up to discover it has a UK keyboard... ಠ_ಠ
Ill get mine tomorrow and let you know whether mine is uk as well, hope we didnt get fooled
Yea, sure hope this wasn't a common thing. Emailed support though. I don't recall seeing anything in the description about it being a UK version.
It doesn't affect too much on the layout, but it is a bit annoying. I'll post back if/when I get a response from them.
yup uk keyboard
Good News
Well, I have good news. It would seem that they are accepting returns on the webtops with a UK keyboard. The email seems like it might be just a script/automated message, but it should work.
I received the following email:
XXXXXX replied:
Thank you for contacting 1saleaday,
I am truly sorry to hear that you have encountered a problem with your order.
Please feel free to send the order back for a replacement.
Your order number serves as your RMA number.
To ensure a quick return process, please be sure to fill out the Return Request form (link provided below) and send it back with your package.

Please send your package to:

For future reference, please be sure to retain your return tracking number as it may be needed to expedite the return process.
I would recommend using a shipping carrier that provides tracking.
Thank you,
XXXXXXXX
sup guys got mine today, using it now. Didn't even notice the keyboard thing till i saw this thread.(smh..it said it on the box) look like its a common thing. other than the "@" and "2" functions being switch around everything is good. i think i'm going to stick out and don't bother trying to get a exchange plus itook the stickers of already (feel like the uk version is probably the only one they have)
Yea, that's what worries me. Also, it's not going to be exactly cheap to send a box of that size that weighs 5 lbs. I think I'm going to reply back to them to make sure I'm not going to waste time & money on getting the same thing.

Got another email from them. It seems that upon request, they will provide shipping labels. So if you were debating it on the fact that shipping it back will cost you, just send support an email.
thanks but was mostly worried about them not having the us keyboard version(which Im started to believe is the case) and making me send it back for no reason. After 3 days im loving this thing and can wait for ICS update w webtop 3.0
onesaleaday has it on sale again (via Newegg.com). looks like model #9SIA0MC0B56334. can someone that has received one check the model number so that it can be confirmed if US or UK layout. Looks like the "other model 3 is 9SIA0MC0932943. I went ahead and put it on order, but might cancel if someone confirms this is not US model. I think it is not, as the latter model # is out of stock.
while trying to find out which KB this has, I found another link from 1saleaday to http://bensoutlet.com/products/motorola-lapdock-atrix-4g they also list it @ $59.99.
also I sent an email to 1saleaday asking them to confirm which KB for item on sale.
update sent email requesting info on keybrd in stock. It was forwarded to someone else who replied asking what i wanted (request was in email she was forwarded, and in turn responded to me on). Final response was "We can not guarantee that the keyboard will be either US or UK". I will not do biz with these folks after dealing with them and also from reading all the probs other folks had with their service.
Yea, they gave me the same thing when I sent mine back. We can't guarantee that there are US keyboard ones in stock. Got a refund, and I don't think I will be ordering from them any time soon.
Just head to ebay or Amazon. Surely a few more dollars to guarantee a US keyboard is worth it. As for me, I'm going to hold off until webtop 3.0 comes to purchase a new one.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Oh you guys had me scared. I did end up getting a UK keyboard version, but that's just the labels on the keys. Shift + 2 still gets me @ instead of ", for example. So unless you intend to use the lapdock for learning how to type, it won't be a problem.

[PSA]Free Bluetooth Headset From Best Buy.

Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, the will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Do not know when they started this but I just hit my 30 days with this phone so I doubt I can take advantage of this deal

Another user said they called BB and they said the purchase does have to be within the last 30 days.
Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:
I got the free headset with my OG when I picked it up for $99 at BB. They miss labeled the price, as it was supposed to be $199 with free headset, but since I caught it they gave me the deal anyways.
The headset I got was a wrap around neck style with ear buds. It was a neat concept, but the audio quality was only good for phone calls. It was horrible for music, which I was hoping to use it for since it was more like Bluetooth ear buds than a normal headset.

Very cool, glad it worked.
Quick question, I got my OG as a gift and have the receipt but it has a family member's name and card number on it, did you need to show them ID or have your card (assuming you got it on a card).
Nope... Just needed my original receipt. They scanned it and it had all the info they needed. Didn't need to show a license or credit card.
Then again, after 45min they may have passed on all that info just to get me out of the store... Lol

I used BB's own company computer to click the link provided by bleached45 in the first post to show them the deal was legit. So definitely go to the store.
Also, make sure you go back to the store where you purchased the LGOG. I figured all BBs are the same, but apparently not when it comes to purchasing phones. I went to one store and they told me too bad, I have to go to the store where I purchased the phone.
Not a good deal when you consider their phone price
Wow! $699 unactivated? That's pretty darn expensive, and makes the free $69 headset not worth it.
I got my OG for $579 direct from Ting, and I didn't think there was anything special about that price.
Swooby

I ordered my phone online and unfortunately there is no best buy and the closest one is over an hour away, dont feel like spending 3 hours driving to have the chance of them not giving it to me.
I got mine for the $99 promotion the day after christmas at a best buy about 30 minutes away. I have the receipt. Any chance they can mail it to me? If not I will get it next time im in that part of the valley.
Ah! Y'all are $99 carrier contract buyers. That make more sense.
I bought my OG without a contract through ting.com and pay $25/mo, saving me $65/mo...the price of that free BT headset!
Peace

I don't know, as far as I know, nobody has tried to get them to mail it.
I think your best bet is to go in, most people have reported that when they call about it bb said they couldn't match it, but in store they were able to get it.

Got me some new earbuds! They sound alright, not great. Actually they seem a little too small in my ears even with the bigger rubber cones. But I'm not going to b***** when they were free! :good:

Replacing battery

Hi all
I have noticed my battery has slowly been getting worse, was just curious if anyone in the UK knows if there is any place where you can get a new battery put in?
Thanks all

@chrisnewton
Your best bet would be contacting ASUS directly in the UK.
I called them up last year and they sorted my Nexus by offering a replacement. They even replied to all my emails when I contacted them.
They also linked me to few franchises in case I do not want to deliver my device to them.

Why not replace it yourself? Buy a battery used on eBay then follow one of the guides on YouTube. Was planning to do this, but worried about the special tools needed to open case. Then tried the finger method and it was easy. One thing to check is if your usb port might be the problem. After scratching the pads to remove any build up my n7 is changing properly again.

Oneplus sandstone case

Jose Costa
Jan 26, 08:31
Hi,
My cover is broken, don't know exactly why. From the top border, until camera.
Seems strange after shortly discontinued mobile there is no replacement accessories...
I noticed that OnePlus don't have cover available in website store anymore.
Honestly I feel a bit concerned with that, mainly because I read in different places that there are covers that are not good enough.
I'm disappointed because I haven't done nothing to break cover, is always inside flip cover. I can only that I don't need assistance, or else mobile will be able to paperweight.
How can I get new one? A 100% working one
Thanks.
JC
Submit a support ticket on their website saying that you need a new sandstone case for the OPO and you should be able to buy one that way. That was how I got my replacement, albeit I did this a while ago. Hopefully they haven't changed this policy and you'll be able to get that case! If not, I hear there are some cases you can buy from Aliexpress, but I have no experience with them so I do not know about how legitimate they are.
That was the second thing I've done, the first was look for it in the store. And I received an amazing answer:
Thank you for contacting OnePlus Tech support. My name is Franco and I will be handling this ticket for further assistance. First of all, I do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. In regards to your concern, since our Oneplus cover was already faced out in our Official store. Then you can try to order it from a third party store.
Looking forward for your response.
Thank you and have a nice day!​
I cannot understand this...
I can understand that OP is releasing new phones and wants to sell it, but they can't forget about previous mobiles, with a couple of years. Probably this is my only OP phone ever.

The problem is that they don't have the StyleSwap covers in stock anymore (The stopped producing the OPO already...)
Very good to OP, very bad on the customer service point of view.
It's not OP problem; is mine, just because I have a new phone damaged and I cannot get a part to fix it.
Not sure where you are from, but it's available in India. Search in Amazon.in

Can, will, did, and will continue to do so. Just like everybody else!
You still getting battery covers for two year old samsungs, sony's, lg's from the Manufacturer? Prawly not. Hard enough to get software updates, let alone them keep around physical product. Want to know why you can't restore old Japanese cars like you can with American cars? Americans have the space to store old **** for decades. Japan does not.
nice cover
damn hot cover it is
