[SOLD] Bought A500 for store to take CC, Square doesn't work. - Acer Iconia A500

I bought the Iconia during the Staples sale (pm by OD) in order to take credit card payments for my store. However, Squarepay doesn't play nice with it, so I need to sell.
I can't return because it has been past the 14 day return window and since it is open, OD will charge a 15% restocking fee.
I paid $326 for it and have only used it for a total of maybe an hour (to try and get Squarepay working).
I'm offering it up for forum members here at $300 shipped within the U.S.

Everyone play nice or bans will be issued...
FYI to the OP, I have a square and the iconia, I have contacted square support and they said they are working on it. They didn't give me a time frame, but they have been super responsive in the past on requests and bugs that I have sent them.

Thanks! This is good info, I might just keep it then.

I am wondering whether its the 16 or 32. I am looking to get one for my wife, but running short on funds lol. I have the 16gb model myself just cause the 32 wasnt out when I was shopping.

Interesting. I was going to try out square on my iconia. I'll have to make sure it will work on my Optimus V until they get it to play nice with the tablet.

Also, you should still be able to use Square with just manual entry of the C #'s, although I understand the reason not to with the higher rate of manual entry... Good luck with the sale though.

I did that for a bit, but there's two reasons why this isn't ideal.
1) They actually charge more for manual entry
2) Customers don't like it as much for some reason when you are entering their CC info in. It doesn't seem as "legitimate" as swiping. It also doesn't look as cool.

Is $300 your rock bottom price, or is there any more room to negotiate? I don't need another iconia, but I know a few people who are jealous that would jump at getting one for the right price. You can PM me and we can go from there.
Thanks

I popped for the same deal but bought it online to avoid Florida sales tax...MacMall $321 delivered. 16GB. All the apps seem to like the 8 GB msd card.
Gave my wife my modded Nook Color.

I have the Optimus V, Square, as well as PayAnywhere work just fine for me on it, though interestingly PayAnywhere's device will not work with Square Software, and Square Device will not work with PayAnywhere Software .

id definitely be willing to pay 300 for it to get it for my wife. Been trying to get a touchpad so I can OC it to the 1.9 theyve been talking about, but i have the a500 and would rather get that for my wife. lol

I use square almost everyday with my A500 the surefire way is to connect it when you are ready to swipe, you have a 5 second window but it works every time.

So I can't leave it plugged in..I have to connect and then swipe immediately? I'll try later tonight.

You still offering it? Got everything it came with? I'll take it for $300 shipped. Nothing at all wrong with it, right?
Thanks!

*EDIT* -- I've got a bottom of the barrel Android phone (Huawei Ascend) that prompted me to sell off all my Windows Mobile gear (a bunch of Dell Axim's). Spent the last couple of months comparing, reading reviews, message boards, etc... and the A500 is pretty much what I'm looking for. Got a taste of Android from my phone and I want more, More, MORE!
As you can tell from my post count, I'm not on here too often. But, a reply to this thread, a PM or email at: ka4aaa at gmail will certainly get to me. Thank you again, and I understand if you're keeping it. I'm not going to pay $400 (which every local store seems to be offering), can't find it for less than $340 online, and your $300 price is the magic number I've been looking for. Much appreciated!!
**Second Edit** -- Nevermind. Found one locally. Thank you!

hey, dont know if you got the message i sent but definitely interested in getting it off you. let me know. My pms seem to be acting weird and not sending messages out.

Sorry, I forgot about this post and I'm still getting PMs about this.
Item was sold a week or two ago for $320!
Thanks all!

That's a bad idea. Make her buy the xoom a case as the present!
Anyways congrats on the op and welcome to our ship lol

sell it to her as a replacement laptop that you can both use and it'll mean less time on the current laptop/pc - it also will save on energy costs as it lasts longer and you can take it away and watch movies etc. on it.... also it can be used in place of a DVD/Bluray/VHS as you can hook it up via a HDMI cable.........
best way to tell your wife is to get her a tablet also, duh!
Buy her some shoes. That's what i did.

jewelry. Then it will be impossible for her to get mad at you every time she sees you playing with the Xoom.
I'm waiting for a Fuji X100 to be delivered. I am getting away with it by getting my wife new dining room chairs. I have to plan these things well in advance. But it does save me grief.
Congrats, the sales of the Xoom weren't as good as I thought they would be launch date; am glad sales are picking up bc it is a pretty cool device.
Best of the luck with the wife. I just bought my wife a G Tablet when I bought my Xoom. Seems to have worked wonders for me.
My problem was that my wife had bought me a Nook Color for Xmas last year. I rooted it and installed numerous ROMs but it didn't run quite as stable as I'd loved it to. So I got dragged into the Honeycomb tablet world and ordered my Xoom when Motorola had the 25% off glitch. Saved me two hundred bucks! I told my wife about the purchase when I held the device in my hands. BAAD IDEA! The only things that kept her from ripping my head off were the 25% discount and that over time she realized that the Nook has major shortcomings. But what do they say: It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission? Anyway, my wife now uses the Nook and is fairly happy. She even took it well when I told her about my interest in the ASUS Transformer. She understood the benefits of having the full keyboard, better screen etc.
Bottom line: Just tell her and then get her something nice to make up for not telling her earlier!

[Off Topic] Logitech Revue $99, Anybody have one?

So the OG Gtv, Logitech Revue just dropped to $99 today. Anybody picking one up? Anyone already have one? At $99 I think it's worth picking up just to play around with and I plan on getting one sometime this week.
If you have one, please let me know what you think about it. Also, are there any good forums for it? None on XDA obviously bc it's not mobile, but surely there's something decent out there.
I picked one up yesterday. I am still not sure how much I like it yet. But at 99, it is a great price just to play around with. Some of the features are pretty cool, the PIP is really nice. It took a while to setup but didn't take to long to figure out how to work it. I am still looking for forums and sites with good info on it.
I would say if you are the tinker type, for 99 bucks you should pick it up.
Thinking of getting one myself. Found a forum that said XDA had a section for it (which I dont see) and someone even mentioned it being rooted. If this is true, its a no brainer and Im running to get one now. Either way though, its supposed to be updated to Android 3.1 by September.
Android forums has a section on google TV: http://androidforums.com/google-tv/
I think I'm gonna get one, looks like it's a decent value for $100
I ordered mine yesterday. Reviews are strong enough overall that for $99 it seemed like a good bet.
Yeah, it has been rooted, but unfortunately, it requires some hardware mods. A bit difficult on the rooting, but probably still fun to play with. It's also due for a gingerbread update soon. I'll check out the forums, probably pick one up soon. I wonder if it has the market, without being rooted?
3.1 Beta has LEAKED!!! http://www.androidcentral.com/honeycomb-beta-logitech-revue-leaked
There's some pretty good info to be found over at the SatelliteGuys forum. Dish Network is somehow partnered up in this unit (I install for Dish as a subcontractor). Actually, it fully integrates ONLY with certain Dish Network DVR receivers. It'll work with most anything out there but if you have the right Dish receiver and are willing to cough up another $4 to a Dish each month, you get some extra bells and whistles that you don't get with any other provider (like DirecTV, the cable company, etc)... at least out of the box that is.
It's a pretty nice unit and it gets better with each update. I've played around with them some and overall I like it, but it's definitely a niche item. We sell that at our office (at least I've seen them in the warehouse). For $99, I think I'll pick one up myself. My wife will just love another toy hooked up to the tv (rolling eyes with an evil grin)!
EDIT - meant to post the link below to the SatelliteGuys forum. The guy starting off the review many months back always has the best and most accurate info. Great guy. There's like 450 posts to wade thru. Like here, the most up to date stuff is at the end. And, just like the Epic, some people love it and others...not so much!
Give thanks if I've helped u in any way...

Ordered one just now. XDA definitely needs a forum for this one.
-Rob
gtvhacker.com is where you will find all the info you need on the this
noice, i may get one of these depending on my paycheck
Ordered one from Amazon, but it won't be here for ~2 weeks
Big, huge warning -- if you're going to root it, you have to do it before powering it up for the first time and allowing it to update. You'll also need a TTL (possibly 3.3v and NOT 5v, which might be a bit harder to pull off without additional level conversion... most of the cheap USB-TTL uart bridges I've seen are 5v i/o) serial port adapter, and willingness to open up and solder wires to your brand new Revue & spend an hour or two working on it before you ever get to play with it for the first time. That said, if you DON'T root it, you won't be able to do anything with it besides be a content-consumer -- there's no market yet, and the only way to push your own APK files to it is if it's rooted. Sigh. And Logitech dares to wonder why they didn't sell many prior to the price drop. If they were both freely rootable & reflashable out of the box, and equally easy to restore to factory-virgin firmware, they probably would have sold way more, if only because there would be six dozen apps by now to spoof browser ids to get past provider blocks and play ISO files straight from a networked hard drive ;-)
hopefully someone can pre-root the 3.1 update once its official
The logitech website says its 249.99 but in check out its 99 and they offrerd me free second day shipping

I just ordered it from the logitech website for $99 and free 2 day shipping. I can't pass on that deal.
I also find it funny that you can buy a replacement keyboard identical to the one that ships with the revue for $99.

You say "unique code" so does that mean only special people get the discount? Do I need to sign up via email somewhere to get it?
Am i correct by saying that all that these internettv devices like apple tv,googlentv do is put hulu,netflix,youtube on your tv?
Why do i need one if i can just hook up my laptop or ps3 and do same thing.Am i missing something?

Just ordered my wife one of these for Xmas. SCREAMING good deals on Newegg/Tiger

She wants an "ipad" but by that she means a tablet. I can NOT justify spending $500 on a 16GB ipad or $400 on a 16GB Nexus 10 for that matter. The Infinity is really the only high end one that I would jump on but that is way overkill for what she is doing (pics, vids, music, web browsing, kindle). So I started looking for "budget" tablets and it was down to this or the Xoom. Xoom is $259-$270 manufacturer refurbished but we all know the TF101 blows it out of the water and Newegg/Tiger are selling them for $229 refurbished right meow. I trust Newegg and they have an amazing RMA policy AND they have extended returns all the way through January 1st no questions asked and free shipping. Kind of hard to beat.
Newegg deal $229 free shipping
Very excited to be getting this. She is not crazy big into rooting or ROM'ing but I'll be on here looking around so if she has any complaints that can be addressed by a ROM or something (like cleanROM on the Infinity) it'll be GTG.
Any advice for me before I wrap it up and leave it under the tree for her to wonder wth it is? Obviously going to test it as it is a Refurb so I have time to send it back and get a new one if its bad but is there like... MUST have mods to do to it or should it work fine for her out of the box stock ICS? Again, she is not an Android nerd like I am and only cares that it works and is fast for what she is doing. She wont' be doing any gaming minus light stuff to shut up our 4 year old in the car lol.
Thanks XDA
Any reason why you aren't considering the nexus 7 for her?
Size and expandable memory. Like I said she is going to be using it for pics, videos, books and browsing. Size matters to my wife. Lol
why are you not considering tf300? it's Tegra 3 and you can get a brand new one for around $270. There were a couple of deals in the last week for that amount and i'm sure there will be more of these...

I've had a TF101 from day 1 and just got a Nexus 7 to replace it. The TF101 has been good to me but wanted something faster, that could playback high profile encodes, easier to hold and under 400 bucks. I strongly considered the Nexus 10 but 16GB isn't cutting it anymore and I'm not paying 100 for another 16 gigs. I prefer non-metal construction so I love the nexus devices. The metal corners of the TF101 cut into your skin after a few mins. The no SD card was a big deal to me too but then I learned you can mount external storage if you just get a USB OTG adapter. For movies and music, not apps. I will miss the back camera most of all for video chatting, showing people things and my 1 year old doesn't exactly sit still. You will enjoy the TF101. If you want another used one let me know

I agree here, return te TF101, while it is still a good tab, don't get me wrong, but getting her the 300 would actually be A LOT better in the long run. Less issues, JB out of the box, and only minimal mods to make it work fluidly. If she is a heavy texter, then I would suggest preinstalling a few apps like Tablet Talk (by one of our DEV'S here.) and maybe a few others that you think she might want to have on it.
But definately return the TF101 and get the 300. You're only a few bucks more into it, and in the long run it will be further supported. ASUS has already stated that they will provide KLP for the TF300 and up, where as the rest of us will be stopped at JB (for official ROM'S).

Oh yeah I had no idea the TF300 was available NEW for that price. And the nice thing about getting it at BB is I can get a 1 or 2 yr warranty on it. I think I could have with Newegg too but I like being able to take things to the store and talk to a person, even if it is the geeksquad...
Going to order the TF300 now and I'll RMA the 101 to Newegg when it comes in probably tomorrow.
Edit: Just ordered, picking up in store, $299 after tax, the TF101 REFURB was $246 after tax so an extra $53 for a MUCH better tablet. And factor in the $25 gift card and that makes it $274. I can use the $25 to get a present for my brother in law or something so with the gift card only $29 more to go to a new TF300 from refurbished TF101. You guys rock and THANK YOU SDFGHI for those links. Heck I almost bought two but I don't see myself using a tablet really that much. I think the screen on my smartphone is big enough and if not I got a lapdock for it for $50 last month that turns it into an 11" Android netbook. If I do get one for me I'll probably be a selfish ass and get the Infinity for me lol.

You are quite welcome from my end. At least we can see that you thought it through clearly and decided that a LITTLE more for NEW was better then a little less for refurbished. Correct buying it at BB you can get the extended warranty, get the ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE ALSO. Found that out with my wife's DSLR, strap holder broke, letting the camera fall from her neck and hit the iced over concrete. It looked like that scene from Terminator 2 when the liquid metal terminator got froze then shot and exploded.
Sadly (not really) they no longer made or had available the same camera I had initially bought my wife, so they had to *sigh* upgrade her to the next one up. Now if I buy something from them I make sure to get the max extended warranty and the accidental damage coverage.
Also as a side note, just root it before she even opens it. Set it up for side loading and all all ready.
I might root it... I dunno its all nice in the shrinkwrap right now and I'd like her to open something brand new. Then again I'd probably be better off checking it... And damn I completely spaced my own advice on getting the protection plan. Probably should gander on back and pick it up for the tablet. Either way she's going to flip **** because she says she doesn't really want anything for xmas but I KNOW she is dying for a tablet.

I bought one there a few days ago and had BB adjust the price today.
This tablet is a sleeper currently. Folks seem to just pass by anything that isn't a Nexus, Samsung, or Ipad. I bet the price will soon hit what the new Nexus 7 is going for, I will keep my eyes peeled and get a further adjustment if that happens. Lots of price wars happening with Microsoft and android tablets lately.
Good thought on watching the price and having them adjust for any drop. I grabbed two, one white from my local Best Buy and one black from one across town. I'd been thinking I wanted black since my current/previous tablets have been black (or dark gray in a few cases), but the white one does look pretty slick, so I might try that for once. I'll obviously cancel/return the one I don't keep.

I'm liking it so far. No hot buttons currently and I think it is a sleeper currently for price and quality right now. The Nexus 7 is very good, I have one but 16:10 aspect ratio on a 7 inch is tough for me to tell the truth.
No lag with games, videos don't buffer, web browsing is fine, reading on it is very good. SOLD!!!
Just sold an iPhone 5 I had for $220 so Im waiting for any Christmas sales. Will have about $330 by Christmas so Im just watching:laugh: out for any good deals.
I bought one at BB today myself... Having some drinks waiting on the first 100% Charge.... Returned my Nexus 7 2013 for this puppy.. I think this is the *Perfect* size for a Tablet.

Yeah, I think I'm inclined to agree after playing with it for a few hours. This is a really great device! I rooted it and restored apps and data from my Nook HD+ using TiBu. Very responsive in everything I've thrown at it so far. Great deal at $280 (wish I'd gotten the NewEgg deal earlier this week though!).

LOL I thought I was reading my own post since I too rooted & restored from an HD+ today. Got the Newegg deal BTW.
I just picked one up at the local Best Buy, they do not have any on display. I purchased online for in store pick-up. My wife and I both have LG phones and love them. I'm not done setting the G pad up yet, but loving it so far.

I seen that deal also Wells.. but I rather buy at a Brick & Mortar.. I had a situation where a Asus HD 7 freaked out and looped doing an update to the latest firmware 5 minutes out of the box.. the turn around for refund or replacement would have been over a week if I purchased it through Newegg.. As it was, I just walked it into Walmart and got my Cash back.. So, I for one don't mind at all paying the $30.00 difference to avoid the headache of returning an item such as this should I have an issue.. My unit has fully charged while typing this and I've just powered it up for the 1st time.. and it's FABULOUS..
Thanks for this post! Mine is slated to arrive Tuesday from Best Buy Online. I will contact them today to see if I can get a $20 credit since I paid 299. I posted this in the accessories page ...

you guys might appreciate it as well. So that you don't waste as much time as I have researching official accessories as seen in the hands-on reviews from certain websites, I can assure you that the official accessories like the dock and the quick cover are not yet available in the US even though they appear on the LG US website. I just spent a hell of a lot of time on the phone with LG trying to show them that their own website lists the items complete with full instructions on how to use them. I finally got someone to admit that the products are not available in the United States at this time. I picked up an Asus cover on Amazon that will work with the LG.

Dang. Just realized you posted this yesterday on the 7th. Today is the 8th. I called them anyway and she said there's nothing they can do but you keep an eye on the website because if it drops in price again within the next 30 days they will gladly credit my account. I'm posting this in case anybody else need this information. Thanks for the initial heads up!

Which Asus cover works with the G Pad?
I too ordered one. I missed the Newegg one thought I would just wait one more day lol, one day to late. The taxes from Bestbuy gets it up to $300. Still good price. Going to test it against the HP Slate8 pro. At 1st I really liked the HP (Tegra 4) yet the speakers at the bottom portrait mode I cant tell ever if its stereo. Then way to many times it gets sluggish. The only thing I can relate to this is on my PC many years ago when running to many apps it would be swapping memory you get that lag.
I did try the EVGA note. Was nice yet the battery life is very short. Then on the HP running things wow the higher rez really made some apps and games look so much better. Battery life on the HP is really good. I really loved the Kendal HDX speakers. So all I need is a tab with kendal speakers, a stylus, 32gb + 2ram and I will be happy.
LG covers all sold out on amazon

unfortunately, none of them. It's the Asus 8 inch Note tablet cover that is being listed as completely compatible with the LG Gpad 8.3. However, I ordered a white one twice now from two different companies on Amazon and both times my order was cancelled because they are out of stock. You can probably get it in a different color or maybe black, but I'm holding out for white. Just a search on Amazon and it will come right up.
"VSTN LG G Pad 8.3 Multi-Stand PU Leather Cover Case with Hand Strap&Card Holder (For LG G Pad 8.3, White)"
I picked one up on on the 7th after missing out on the newegg $249 deal. I also used my amex $25 off $250 so that helped cover the tax. If it drops in price before the extended holiday return period (almost a certainty) I'll get that as well. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to return the N7 32G I picked up last week for $209. The overall dimensions for the 2 are pretty close but the screen size is the reason I got the G Pad.

Well some of us jumped on the G Pad but to tell the truth there is just no visibility with this device. All BB stores in my area don't have one on display and unless one is savvy, you wouldn't even know they carried it.
And I'm unsure what other big box retailers carry it either where you can just walk in and buy it. This may or may not hurt with a price drop in the near future. If the manufacturer monitors sales, I don't no how they can expect much more without the product being more visible to the public. A shame really cause it blows away much of what is out there currently available!

I wouldn't have bought one with being able to try it out beforehand. The closest BB didn't carry it but one not too far away supposedly had them in inventory. When I went I naturally went to where the tablets were and it was nowhere to be found. I asked a sales associate and they said they don't carry it I mentioned that BB online shows they have them so he dug a bit deeper and found out they have them over in the mobile department. It makes no sense to me since it's currently WiFi only but there it was with the LG phones.

Best Buy $100 trade in program.

Looks like Best Buy is running the $100 trade in program again. I took advantage of this when I got my N9.... I wonder if they aren't selling well enough?
Even though they have this going on, none of the stores by me have any in stock and it's been that way for a while.
Best Buy has had the $100 trade in program since before Nexus 9 was released.

It seems there are a lot of store managers who don't know how to give credit for working tablets that are not on their computer databases. If you have an issue, you may want to be aware of this forum and the info presented (http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Other-Customer-Service-Support/Any-Tablet-50-Trade-In-Denied/m-p/858689). These forums have many instances of tablets being denied even though they should not have been. Good luck.
thank you!
Here's the deal:

I would suggest confirming stock visually in your local store(s) before trading anything in.

Anyone having trouble finding a White Nexus 9 in stock at their local Best buy?
There's like 10 Bestbuys within 30 miles of me and none have any white ones in stock. Neither the 16gb or 32gb.
The 16gb Black looks to be the most plentiful.

Yup, I went to BB the other day to trade my original N9 in and they had two 32gb black, zero white and about 20 16gb black.
I don't see white ones in stock at any BB in my area (Central Texas).
I did this a couple of weeks ago. I traded in my 8gb 2012 Nexus 7 (normally they would only give $10 for this), and was able to get a 32 gb Nexus 9.
I did run into an issue where the Nexus 9 wasn't in stock and the $50 coupon is for in-store use only. When they went to order it for me, their system wouldn't take the coupon and they told me coupon could only be used in the store. I reminded them that we were in the store having this conversation. The manager ended up "taking care of it", and knocked $50 off of the price.

ive read on the best buy forums there have been mixed results on doing this in store with random tablets because they are not in the system. i have read that people who complain on the best buy forum, and with an admin/ cs rep responding, will get success because apparently the rep is contacting the store directly to have them push the trade in through.
i love my launch day moto xoom but love the nexus 9 a bit more ..
To bad it's already over
