Hi There,
I have found a website that has a matrix wait list for xda 2's, you join a list by buying three ebooks for 20 great british pounds, this puts your name on a list and when the list becomes full the person with there name at the top of the list gets the phone, and you move up. It takes time but you get the phone in the end. Its not only Xda's they have laptops and lots of other phones too. If you are intrested please e-mail me at
[email protected]
and i will be happy to pass on the information.
The phone is sim free and open to any network, please feel free to e-mail me if you are intrested and hope this allows people to enjoy the brilliance that is the xda 2.
Just wondering....Why not to pass on the info. in here?! What's the difference
There are several of these schemes around - just variations on the old and very illegal pyramid schemes. They work if you get in at the start - otherwise you just wait and wait until they go bust or the DTI shut them down. I got in at the start of one in the mid 90's and earn't a lot of money, but the wait for a return got longer and longer and them the DTI shut it down after only 9 months. How long has this one been going?
As xda-rocks stated these are pyramid schemes
One such site is http://www.mobiles4all.com/
Plenty of talk about them in the usenet newsgroups uk.telecom.mobile
HTH

The site is fairly new and is www.pjelectricals.co.uk , the original reason i didnt put it up was i was hoping if people emailed me they could put me down as there referral when they sign up, this moves my name up the list quicker. I am currently number 25 on the list.
So if anyone decides to go for this could you please put down
Charles John Grant as your referral.please.
I had to buy this information of ebay. The site is fairly new as all the lists are still pretty short for all the products. Its worth a look.
I dont want to sound like im sayings its a scam...
But it is. A good friend of mine payed his £20 to that site back in February, he ordered one of the cheaper phones and reached the top of the list within a couple of weeks..
He still doesnt have his phone or £20 back. He never even got the free CD-ROM that was meant to come in the post..
The moral of the story. Its a pyramid scheme, you send in your money and get nothing back in return. Sorry. Dont fall for these types of scam in future, and certainly dont bid for links on sites like eBay. :wink:
( i just hope it works for you ! )
Thanks i hope it works for me too. I appreciate your your opinion but maybe im living in false hope but i have been emailing a guy who has an XDA 2 from the site. I'll let you know if it doesnt or does work, maybe im living in false hope but ignorance is bliss.

We need to talk about bridges. Bridges are great investments. Forget phones: we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in pure profit, practically overnight.
I too put £20 into one of these get a free laptop schemes a few years back, i was number 4 on the list and after about 5 months of waiting the emails stopped comming in telling me my list position and about 2 weeks after that the site dissaperared without a trace and with my money,
You have to be very lucky if you do get anything through these schemes, I'd say that unless your in position 1 or 2 the list is likely to be shut down before you get anything

I am a big fan of the Tattoo for it's compact size and recently came across the following:
http://buyer.madeinchina.com/MicBuyer/turbine/template/product,product.vm?itemcode=11440289
Has anyone played with one of these? If so, I'd love to hear your stories as I decided for a chrissie present to myself, I'd buy a knock off phone. Apparently it is in the post and if anyone is interested, I'll set up a blog with unboxing pics and a rundown of the beast that lies within.
From the spec sheet, the obvious omission is GPS but aside from that it is/claims to be almost identical to the Tattoo.
So, once again, if anyone is interested in my little experiment, let me know and i'll keep everyone up to date once/if it arrives
Could be nice to see picture when u get it how its really looks and how it works.
Got an original Tattoo now for 3 months and i like it...
But many friends says to me be aware for fake China models but in the pictures in the link it really looks the same..
Keep us posted
Oh, such sweet sorrow
So unfortunately my venture into the realm of dodgy chinese knock off goods didn't go to far. I bought the phone, got confirmation and an email saying it had been sent.
Then began the the bait and switch tactic:
Basically the "hot chinese girl" seller claimed the tattoo was very unstable at the moment and offered an "S1" HTC Touch. Effectively, this phone was just a knock off of the original HTC touch.
This where it got interesting. Because the seller had marked the item as sent, I could not just cancel the order. Another series of messages were flicked back and forth between the seller and myself asking him/her (sceptical about her hotness) asking to cancel and the seller stalling. So I raised a "dispute" ticket with the madeinchina guys and they refunded my money the very next day.
So lesson learnt but kind of disappointed i never got my dodgy knock off phone. So as i effectively never lost the original money, I have used this as justification to buy a real tattoo.
I'm sure i'll be back on here a fair bit asking about about the best apps, any tips and tricks but I hope someone finds this amusing to read, as the whole thing was a bit of fun.
Probably flashing this device with an htc rom, it will make it a tattoo easily... but most of the sellers in china are not aware of "flashing" techniques, since they are just the producers of the product... but i'm pretty sure that it is much of a bargain

China Phones Bargain? Yeah right... More like Rip off
Depend where you buy it from... it cost me >$200 my tattoo... maybe in other places cost a lil bit more.
I tryed one!
I had a chinese crap copy it had a meltdown actualy it went in to flames. so stay away for the fake ones.
I will never buy a chinese phone again.
Greetings Cya.
Yeah, looks like a real one, but it's actually a fake.
Interesting note, though at the bottom of the page there's a HTC S1... Says "windows .1" - What the heck? Windows v0.1?
Steer away from clones, they are rubbish.. There's a iPhone clone and the iPod clone app on it just makes the phone crash, apparently.
I bought a "cheap" Daxian I909 to play with and
it worked exactly as advertised.It did however have
a problem when I recieved it in that it appeared to
be off frequency on transmit.
After researching RTOS(real time operating system)
which most of the non Windows MTK processors
in Chinese knock offs use,I found out how to get
into the "engineer mode" and manually adjusted the
freqs to suit my area works great now.
Overall it,s a cheap fone but I am still using it
after 6 months.

Hello,
I am a brand new customer that came over from AT&T to buy the HTC EVO 4G.
I have been mostly happy with the phone, but very unhappy about the 30 FPS cap on the graphics ... the Nexus One runs on the same hardware and is able to push 60FPS or more. To add insult to injury, my EVO's screen is starting to separate at the bottom of the device, which means I am going to have to either return it or exchange it for a new EVO prior to the 30 day limit. At first I was content to just exchange my EVO for a new one, but here are my concerns:
1. Are these problems going to be fixed? If I get a new EVO, will HTC/Sprint ever fix the graphics problem? Will I have another instance of hardware failure (screen separation)? Further reading on this topic here: (links removed due to XDA policy)
2. I bought and paid about $30 to have a ZAGG shield installed on the face of the EVO (lifetime warranty permanent screen protector) ... if I exchange my EVO, there is another $30 I am paying. What happens if I keep having hardware failures? Do I have to pay $30 each time to have my ZAGG shield replaced? Unacceptable!
3. Screen Responsiveness - The top part of my EVO is not very responsive, possibly due to a improperly grounded screen. Yet another reason I have to return it. Unfortunately, there are none in my area so I have to wait until they come in. Will the new one have the same problems?
4. WiFi strength on the EVO is lackluster at best. More reading here: (Link removed due to XDA policy)
5. Evo 4G is the first 4G phone - too bad you can hardly ever get 4G reception and when you do, the speed is not nearly what Sprint has advertised. This is not a dealbreaker because this phone has so many great qualities, but the speed tests that I and others have done show that the speed on the 4G is not that great, not even better than AT&T's iPhone 3GS speeds much of the time. Very sad.
I would like to say I am going to be a loyal Sprint and HTC customer for many years, but with all these issues I am seriously considering returning my phone and cancelling my service within the 30 day window.
Can you help me understand how these problems will be fixed? What is your time frame for fixing them? Are the Sprint and HTC teams even aware of these issues and are you looking into them? I have found I love Android phones now, but I can just as easily cancel my contract and move to T-Mobile who supports a wide variety of Android phones (Nexus One, anyone?). Please help me understand why it is best to stay with Sprint and HTC. I *want* to be a loyal customer, but I need to know that my concerns are being heard and addressed.
Thank you in advance for your time!
Sincerely,
Tim D.
Also - Mods - can I get verified? How do I make that happen? Thanks, Tim.
At least you didn't ***** about the 10 dollar Premium Data. That + former AT&T customer = nice letter
Thanks ... I tried to keep it as positive as I could. I have had pretty good luck getting things accomplished with EECB's that are positive. (I recently had my Dell XPS m1730 repaired out of warranty after I aired my concerns to Dell)
I hope we can find a resolution. The EVO is a GREAT phone plagued by a few problems that hopefully can be resolved one way or another.
Edit: Perhaps if some other forum members would like to write up their own letters and send them, maybe we can get some movement on this.
Pull your ZAGG screen off and then get a warranty replacement for $5 shipping. They replace it free if you replace your device.
Thank you for that tip about the ZAGG shield - I was not aware of that... I will have to wait until the last second though to make sure I actually get a new EVO from Radio Shack
Maybe if we all send nice letters, we could MAYBE at least get the source.
Bump!
Nobody else has sent an EECB? might be a good way to get some much needed attention for these problems...
I was planning to and then got side-tracked. I shall later tonight. Much thanks for bringing it to my attention again!

My only complaint is the serious lack of WIFI, and even when i do have it the speeds are terrible. also 4g isn;t official in my area but i get it sometimes 1 or 2 bars max (only in 1 spot outside my house its kinda odd). The speeds are hitting close to 4mbps for me. I hope they finish installing 4g in the boston area.
So are those all the email addresses I need to email? Are they all .com?
Well, I just EECB'd them, putting a particular slant on the issue of releasing the source. I have a gut feeling that HTC is working to do this, but it would be really nice to get a straight answer out of them. (So, be nice to HTC.)
Hello, and to whom it may concern:
Like many other potential smartphone customers, I've been looking forward to the release of the HTC EVO 4G. I've been using prepaid phones for too long and had myself set on finally becoming a Sprint customer with an EVO.
As someone who was lucky enough to get an EVO from Google I/O this year, I've been using the phone for the past three weeks or so. While the phone has almost lived up to my expectations, there is one major flaw that I find unacceptable: the artificial graphics performance cap on the phone.
At Google I/O, Google and their partners showed off many different Android phones, both new and old. Most of the higher-end phones, including HTC's own Nexus One, have great performance. Games run speedily and smoothly and the interface positively flows. That, however, is not the case with the EVO. The EVO, even with its top of the line hardware, is artificially capped at rendering 30 frames per second. I find this very unfortunate, as a side by side comparison between the Nexus One, EVO, and iPhone will show that the Nexus and iPhone run their respective UIs and games much more smoothly than the EVO. I expected 3D performance to be a selling point with such a gorgeous phone—I guess not.
I, along with many others, have contacted HTC about this issue. HTC's official line is that the 30 FPS cap was intended to "improve battery life" and they have no plans to change this. While this is disappointing, it is HTC's right to build their firmware how they want. However, I ask HTC: please make this fact more public. This cap was a rude surprise to developers and has made many of them unhappy, even leading to some phone returns, as evidenced by the discussion on prominent phone dev boards: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=620. (I've come close to wanting a refund—but my phone was free, so I have no hard feelings.)
In addition, I'd like to ask HTC to expedite the release of your Android kernel source so that developers like me can remove this cap. I'm sure many others will do the same, even if it does void their warranty and is not officially supported. It would be nice to have a phone that actually works as advertised.
HTC makes good phones; there's no reason to artificially limit the EVO from becoming HTC's best.
Thank you for your time and for listening to my concerns.

GREAT JOB. Very nicely written.
On another note, I have been reading about what may be Sprint's 2nd 4G phone, the Samsung Galaxy S Pro... I am thinking of returning my EVO and waiting for the Galaxy to drop... too many problems with the EVO. The sad thing is I have to do it within the 30 day money back timeframe, so I am quickly going to be coming up on a hard stop.... ARGH!
Instant response: f**k yeah!
EDIT: Got an reply from Dan Hesse's office saying that they'll reply w/more info within the next day or so.
Hello _______,
Thank you for providing us with the request for the sourc code for your EVO 4G, to which I understand you are entitled. I also understand that in the legal information of the phone it says to contact Customer Service with this request, although that is not entirely correct. From Technical Support, we can only pass along your request to the appropriate department, and as they do have your request it will be posted. This is not a gambit of any sort nor a desire to keep anything from our users; as to why it is not available yet, I do not know, nor do my supervisors. If we at Technical Support did have access to either send out the code or post it on the website, I would be more than happy to do so as I understand that you are anxious for it and I would love to be able to provide it.
I agree; the phone is great and I am fairly excited myself to see what you and the rest of the developers come up with.
The request has been made to the appropriate department, and when the code is posted it will be available at developer.htc.com. I apologize that it is not available at this very moment, and I thank you for your patience in this matter. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again. You can find additional support at support forums at community.htc.com. There is also a customer satisfaction survey for you to take if you are interested.

That was from mid-tier customer support, so we'll also see if Sprint/HTC exec level people reply. Also, time to wait for the source code.
...looks like it's a waiting game now.
This is great news. Good job!!!
I registered just to say that this is great news. Hopefully it leads to a resolution.
I just got off the phone with Dell for the 5th time today. I went through online support, and direct on the phone support to include several reps, and 2 supervisors (if they are really who they say they are).
According to them, the Beta streaks were 30 day devices only. They were supposed to work for 30 days and then stop working. To a degree, most did, since AT&T blocked the IMEI numbers on their networks. Some, like me, took them over to Tmobile and they still work with any GSM card. In any case, Dell's intention was to make the beta units "throw away" phones. Their beta program was designed to give the flavor so that beta owners would then purchase new models through whatever channels, be it AT&T or direct through Dell.
As such, and as with mine, they tell me, there is no support whatsoever for the beta units and that's why our Svce Tags do not appear anywhere but on our devices. They will not support them, and thus, the updates that were going out would never have reached our devices. This seems strange to me since a few months ago I did get an OTA that left the device on 1.6, but beyond that, <insert overly exaggerated shrug here> This information tells me that the only way we'll get the updates is by manually installing them ourselves. Considering the trash that Dell has put us with (the 2.1 farce in the UK, and now the 2.2 slap in the face recently) this is no surprise to me. I'm grateful that I didn't have to pay for this device, as I would be trying to organize a class action suit right about now... so I guess the soul searching begins. I like the phone... but now I hate Dell... I'll probably sell my laptop too. Do I stick it out with this streak, or do I go get something else with Froyo on it?
stick it out, bud, this is a nice peice of equipment, forget Dell, thats what XDA is here for. Not too long I'm sure we will se some dual core devices, until then I say go with the streak, or sell it for a decent price
Mine Streak is also a Beta unit but when I checked for an update it was there .. I downloaded it and installed it .. I am surprised it didn't work that way for you. Now I am only 99.99999% sure it is a beta unit .. whatever it is, I use Tmobile with it.
Yeah, I hate the way Dell has handled just about every aspect of handling the Streak.
But didn't they say that Beta Streaks (on 1.6) would get this 2.2 update first? Is there anyone still on 1.6 that actually GOT the update?
I'm using a Beta unit, and it's still working just fine. I wouldn't say that they considered them to be "throw away" devices, because from everything I've read (I've been following the Streak for more than a year now), they're basically just early full production units. Sure, there might have been a line of code in there to make it not work with ATT, but mine's on TMO and I couldn't be happier. (Well, except it'd be nice to have 3G bands lol!)
ShEEsh.... get a text editor from the market and go into your system>build.prop file using a Root Explorer... there's a line that I found in mine in that file that says "ro.build.CONFIG_HW_AUSTIN=1"... I take that Austin line to mean that this is the Beta hardware (because I KNOW mine is a Beta lol).... if yours says that, it's a beta. If it has =0, I'll bet it's an ATT unit....
I did get the update first and it installed fine.

So let me get this right... You've got a FREE Dell Streak which is a BETA unit that you didn't pay for, that still works fine even though Dell had intended that it would have a short life span - and you're *****ing because they won't offer support on it?
I've got just two words for you m8

Lol i have to agree..free unit,
I think you should leave the streak alone and jump into another device and that should be an iPhone 4. first the dell you got free is crap because can't be use with ATT.
second, it might never work with ATT , and that sucks cause you wanna use your free beta device there. third this thing has no warranty? so if you break your FREE device then they have to repair it for free too? damn that sounds like a hell of a deal. So if you have signed the paper on that marathon/race and read carefullly you will see that it clearly stated that the device is for 30 day testing, now you want to sue them because you want to use the device on ATT after the 30 day trial and aren't getting any support? I don't understand why the crying? don't want to be an a**hole but I don't get the point. this is like reading a review in newegg saying oh the package was very bad wrapped and when it got here it had 2 dins on each side of the package, and it has written "i'm kinky" all over the place so go ahead and mark 1 star just because of that, and has nothing to do with the actual device.
I currently own a BETA device I did pay for it and I won't be getting any warranty, am I crying about it? no, am I happy? can't be more happy to pay for this. So far my internal SD has given up had to buy one, no biggie, i have a bad USB cable, I haven't cry yet. still have my dignity and my upgraded streak on a working condition. Can't be anymore happier than what I am at the moment. Almost bought a samsung captivate and I'm glad I didn't.
Don't want to be mean but is just how I think that some of you just want the whole world in your feet without doing anyithing.
And the most important on these devices is not the warranty (that is third for me) it is the COMMUNITY, the community makes the device worth having.
You don't need Dell support .. their support is HORRIBLE .. Nobody knows what the person in the next cube knows... You can call 3 times, same question and get 3 different answers. The ONLY THING the beta user is lacking is warranty. But most people have voided their warranty over and over again ..
I traded my PAID FOR Dell Streak that was locked to ATT to someone with a Beta, that was locked OUT OF ATT .. Got my update before anyone else .. I am happy!! but still .. Dell does suck. I wouldn't buy from them again .. [unless they had a Streak, problems solved, that connects to Tmobile 4G ..
ALSO .. when I got a call from Dell last week saying "UNLOCKED Tmobile available now." I asked "is that with 3G or rather Tmobiles 4G .." There is not ANYONE there that can answer that question .. Shouldn't they know if they are calling YOU to purchase???
Couldn't agree more, sadly, that is the world we live in now.
Everyone wants everything GIVEN to them, and if not, they sue.
I use to kludge, hack stuff back in the DOS days...if it didn't work, oh well...wasn't suppose to anyway, but, when it did, it was a since of accomplishment & pride!
Now, if something doesn't go exactly the way someone wants it to, they get all bent out of shape.
Am I happy the 2.2 update hasn't hit my non contract bought directly from Dell streak? Nope...would I like the 2.2 update...yep, but, considering I came from a windows mobile 6.5 and earlier phone(s), that had to be tweaked out of the box just to get the #*$*! thing to run, I'm happy with 1.6.
We live in an "instant" world....24/7 internet, 24/7 news, 24/7 everything, and I for one think it has made us WORSE, not better....we have no patience anymore.

I'd expect TMobile to know if they were caling you since it's their network, but maybe not Dell. Do you know what band TMobile are using for their 4g service? if it doesn't match with what is on the Streak then it has no chance of working.

ok to all the cool people that actually read my post and got the gist of what it was saying, thanks for the advice and good words. To all the jerks like this dude, man, ease up.
For starters, I was information gathering. I called to find out why my svce tag wasn't showing up. my details of the events was called information SHARING... especially to other beta owners... hence the attn beta title...
now with that being said, the last thing was IF I had bought it I might be trying to organize a class action suit. It's a good device, but Dell is on the brink of ruining it with the crappy update and even crappier support to everyone not just me.
So, ok I'll grow up, if you, with obviously nothing better to do, will try to get a life...
Ok, I have searched the forums both in general for the Nexus 4 and in Q & A, but I have not found the answer to my question. I am wanting to purchase the Nexus 4, but T-mobile is sold out in local stores, on their website, and Google play store is sold out of both versions on its website. I have googled for any sort of update by google, looked at twitter pages, but most things are only people complaining about LG and Google in their phail at meeting the supply and demand. I have not ordered a phone, so in that aspect most of the threads created only apply to those who have already found a way to purchase the device and are waiting for confirmation on shipping or something to that extent. I am simply trying to figure out when I will be able to buy it from the google play store. I definitely do not want to have to chip out $500-$700 for the device from people on Ebay and other websites. So, if someone could help clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated.
no one knows when they will be on sale again on the playstore bro..
No body knows when they'll be available for sale. If you signed up for the email newsletter that they used to do they'll tell you.
Wave one was at a certain time. So was wave two (emailed us in advance that it'll be available in a couple of hours to buy)
It can be available today, tomorrow, three weeks. We don't know. Best thing to do is to follow android sites on twitter such as android police. And they usually tweet when it's for sale. Good luck getting one though, you'll most likely have errors of too many people buying and we can't process your order. What I did was spam f5 on checkout and continued until the wallet pop up came up.

You can't even put the Nexus 4 in the checkout since it says sold out, or sadly I would keep trying, lol. I wish they would give potential customers some sort of update on this issue. Instead of leaving us guessing on when it might become available. I also heard that the build quality of the Nexus 4 is getting worse, like LG is cutting corners to meet the demands of all the back orders already placed. If this is true that is really sucky news for a lot of people.

No. If you read my post correctly. I was going in sequence talking about when IT BECOMES IN STOCK. If it was available to add to cart as this moment and never went to "sold out" no one would have that error.
As far as rumors... I don't comment on those as it is silly to guess without any proof.
And they usually tweet when it's for sale. Good luck getting one though, you'll most likely have errors of too many people buying and we can't process your order. What I did was spam f5 on checkout and continued until the wallet pop up came up.

You can't even put the Nexus 4 in the checkout since it says sold out, or sadly I would keep trying, lol. I wish they would give potential customers some sort of update on this issue. Instead of leaving us guessing on when it might become available.

I highly doubt the build quality is getting worse because there are only two shipments to go off of anyways.

Well, I hope not, because I really want to buy the phone, I guess I will have to just wait until Google decides to inform us or someone on here finds out something more.
Ok all. I am going here as I am seeing threads like this disappearing left and right over on the OnePlus Forums.
Let me start of by saying that overall I really like this phone. It looks awesome and CM 11 has so much going for it. Development is solid as all get out here thanks to all the devs working on this device. This is why I was so excited to get this device and so grateful for the invite provided by a member here.
However, this phone, just as many other phones may have some problems. A lot of which are software related and will be ironed out over time and just need some patience. Or try one of the many ROMS here and enjoy. Right?
But hardware problems, true hardware issues, are another thing. These require device replacements. The problem is, OP seems to either ignore customers or take inordinate amounts of time to respond. People are waiting literally upwards of a month or more to get a replacement device sent out, and good lord, I hope that those replacements are ok and without defects. This really should not be tolerated. I don't know why we would just say, "hey they are a new company, give them a break." (Everyone knows they are not really a new company I hope.)
So I would like to hear stories here. Post them up or PM me. I am trying to work with another user to get some things compiled and see what comes of it. Maybe some sites (cough cough...XDA) would be interested in this and maybe we can help bring some of this to light and hope the company will improve.
Or at the very least, get our broken phones replaced so we can get on with our lives and not feel like we got ripped for 350$. Of course I know there is buyer protection through Paypal, but should Paypal really have to be the ones dealing with this each time? I don't know, maybe OP planned it that way. Just let Paypal be our support. :silly:
By the way, if you are still reading this, my story is simple and just begining unfortunately. I got a device that did not have working volume keys out of the box. I have updated, flashed old and new stock ROMS, and nothing. Still don't work. I sent in a support ticket 6 days ago with a link to a video of what is going on and told them my problem. I have literally received no response at all since then.
I've got a story.
It started on July 23rd when I ordered my OnePlus One. It was supposed to arrive on the 26th, but it never came. Instead, USPS tracking said I wasn't at home, and they left a note. They didn't leave a note, and I was home. There was no doorbell no nothing. So, I waited until tuesday to see if the package would get re delivered to my house. It didn't get re delivered. I called USPS and went to my local post office. They gave me the normal BS, wait a few days, it could have gotten lost. Blah blah blah. How does a package get lost when it's out for delivery?! Anyways, I waited a few more days, and nothing. Contacted OnePlus support, and they said that their logistics team was looking into it, and it would take maximum 10 days for their investigation. 15 days later without another email, I opened a case on PayPal, and within 2 days, I had my money back.
OnePlus really needs to improve their customer service. Their phone is great, CM 11S is great, but customer service is a nightmare to deal with.
