Galaxy S II in India - shipped!!

Hi guys,
The availability and pricing in India for S II was announced and put up simultaneously for pre-order in collaboration with Samsung India on letsbuy.com on the 25th of May with ETA as 9th June.
While I was late to the party by around 10hrs, I placed the order straightway without a moment's delay. The offer was a great bargain as well, compared to the prices around the world. This is what I got:
Samsung Galaxy S II (with NFC chip confirmed!!)
MHL Adapter
Car Charger
Official Flip Case
Molife Fit to use case (??)
Screen Protector
And all of the above for just $725 or Rs32,830 in Indian currency!!!
But what has me jumping up and down right now with joy is that I just received an email from the letsbuy.com guys stating that my order has been shipped, tracking info et all...!! Should be on the doorstep by Monday morning... the wait is just killing me now.
So how many guys on the same boat as me?

I got the same Email too. What's going on?

Congratulations!! That is a good deal if your price conversion is correct & in U.S. currency

According to Letsbuy.com, they stated its a mistake and it will start shipping on 2Nd week of June.

Nopes, not a mistake. It's just that they now have more orders than the units they are going to receive.
The guys who were the first to pre-order had the Desktop Dock as a free gift along with the MHL adapter, Car Charger and Screen Protector. The response was obviously overwhelming and the pre-order page was put down and came up again after a few hrs. That is when I came to know about the pre-order and booked one for myself. The Dock had been removed though and replaced with a Molife Case.
The ETA was 9th June and now obviously the orders have been exhausted again and the ETA has been changed to a tentative 2nd week of June and the car charger has been replaced with a bluetooth headset.
So basically, not a mistake on their part. Gotta wait till Monday and see what comes in the parcel !!

I too have got an SMS and Email along with Tracking nos.
I hope they actually send the phone. Can't wait for Monday to come

Anyone was able to track their Docket No on Bluedart website?

Its probably too early to track. Maybe till tomorrow afternoon/evening it might get updated.
Anyways I wish they give the Dock instead of Molife case. I already bought this sexy looking official red case!

I think Monday is a sure shot date,my dealer has already confirmed regarding Monday availability,i will get it Monday itself

Don't worry.

Guys, I also received the same mail...
The tracking page on the Blue Dart site confirms the delivery date as monday ))
The ATM tomorrow it is, then
*yes, I can't stop grinning... I know... I know... )) *

Guys according to XDA Member @arjun90 what we are going to get are just Rs.1000 off vouchers that we can apply later while purchasing the phone.
Don't get your hopes up much

Absolutly right,just got a vocher of Rs 1000,will have to wait for another 10 to 15 days.very painful period.....................

Looks like you haven't been following all the latest action. There apparently is not much that can be done, the flaw is in the hardware and the design.
It's been confirmed that there won't be Voodoo for the GS2

According to other threads on this forums, this is supposedly a fake and not a genuine item. The 'S' in the original has a different font... chances are they do come out of the same factory though and are of identical quality.
And yeah... it's just a voucher on the way with at least another two weeks wait. Major bummer!!

Just submitted for the Upgrade

Xoom Update Has been Completed! See Second Post for Additional Photos and Bottom of this Post for Most Recent update!
I was directed to this site:
https://globalrepairtools.motorola.com/serviceandrepair/lte
All I had to do is fill out my MEID and my MDN on the device.
It then had me fill out my Contact info, Name/Address/Phone Number/Email.
I was immediately given a tracking number for my device that can be used to track the status of my repair at:
https://globalrepairtools.motorola.com/serviceandrepair/device/index/en-us/trackrepair/
Also was advised a Fedex box will be shipped out immediately.
It also stated on the Verizon site that a Standard Dock will be given out while supplies last with the upgrade.
So we'll see how this goes. Have a good day all!
EDIT: Attached the Packaging Slip you should get
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
DAY 1 / 9-29-2011 Just registered Online for the Upgrade
Update: Fedex Tracking number states Box should be here Tomorrow. I will get my Xoom ready to go tonight and get ready for it to be sent out tomorrow.
Update: 8:14pm PST - Receive Email from Verizon notifying me that the Upgrade is available, even though I submitted for it 12 hours earlier and received Fedex and Moto emails.
DAY 2 / 9-30-2011 Box is Shipped
Update: So my Fedex Tracking number comes back with this - Sep 29, 2011 9:29 AM PST Shipment information sent to FedEx / Anticipated ship date Sep 29, 2011 / Estimated delivery Sep 30, 2011 by 3:00 PM - Does not appear anything has actually been sent or Fedex has picked anything up. I'm pulling a 7am-9pm shift today so my Girlfriend will be checking at the apartment to see if it came, I have my Xoom ready to go with the packaging slip and she will go straight to Fedex if the box is there.
Update: So the Tracking number with Fedex has updated to show this -Ship date Sep 30, 2011 Estimated delivery Oct 3, 2011 by 3:00 PM PST. So should have the box here on Monday.
DAY 5 / 10-3-2011 Xoom is Shipped Off
Update: Fedex tracking has updated to "On FedEx vehicle for delivery". So the box should be here today, will send my Xoom this evening then if the Box arrives in time.
Update: Received an Email stating the package had been delivered, ran home on Lunch and picked up the box. Inside was a Brown box w/ Styrofoam to place the Xoom into as well as a Booklet explaining how to backup your device and sync it with Google blah blah blah. Then there was a Fedex envelope to slide the box into. I packaged it all up all pretty like and dropped it off at the Postal Annex, they told me it would be sent out at 3:35 pm PST today. So now we'll wait and see. Attached some Photos also.
DAY 6 / 10-4-2011 Xoom arrives at CTDI
Update: FedEx is showing that my Xoom has been successfully delivered to CTDI at 7:54am PST this morning, hopefully mines among the first in the batch and they can get it out asap. (Hopefully will get the Dock as well)
DAY 7 / 10-5-2011 Xoom update appears Complete
Update: So I checked my Xoom's progress through the Motorola Tracking w/ the RMA number I was provided. It is now showing RMA Processed as of 10/5/2011 and also has a SIM number listed for my device. Only 3 fields left to be Populated are Device Shipped, Tracking Number, and Shipping Carrier. So looks like the upgade is done. Just waiting for it to be sent back. I'll check it periodically today....Nothing about the dock though lol
Update: My Xoom is already being shipped back! The Repair Tracking is showing RMA Processed 10/05/2011 Device Shipped 10/05/2011 and has a FedEx tracking number as well. No information with FedEx on the Tracking number except that the Shipping information has been sent to FedEx, will check it in the morning, submitted for Email Notification Tracking.
DAY 8 / 10-6-2011 Xoom is back in Oregon!
Update: So checked the FedEx tracking earlier and received email that my Xoom arrived back in Lake Oswego, Oregon this morning and is on the truck for delivery. Someone else commented that the dock was included, looks like I might have one also as my package weight is more than it should be. Girlfriend is at home to sign for it, if she's out then the apartments will. Off at 3:30, can't wait!
Xoom Delivered and Unpacked
Okay so I got the Xoom, I attached some new photos along with the post. The standard Dock was included in separate packaging. The Xoom unit is my Xoom! Not a replacement. Unless someone misapplied my Zagg Screen protector just for me They included the original plastic wrap on the screen though showing where the buttons and notifications were.
So inside were some pamphlets explaining how to activate the LTE service, says it can take a couple of hours..... I didn't have much time to play with it since I was home on my lunch break but it appears that Root was undone and restored to a stock ROM. Previously I was running 2.2.1 moray on it and had it on there when I sent it in. The Tablet was wiped completely obviously.
So all in all I got my Xoom, I'll have to re-root it looks like and reload Tiamat, I got the Dock. I've not seen the LTE service yet since it still needs to activate apparently. I'll play with it more tonight. I uploaded some additional photos for your viewing pleasure.
Thank you!
Xoom - Root and ROM's
So at this time I've opted to not reinstall Tiamat on my Xoom until I get confirmation that it won't cause issues with the LTE service. (Which is AMAZING) I have Root back and am using the Rogue Arcturus Kernel. As of right now, since I'm reading a lot of issues with the ROM's interaction w/ the new update I'm going to play with Stock for a while.
The 4G/LTE upgrade wasn't huge, as I mostly use Wifi. The speeds are amazing, but honestly, the device was perfectly functional before w/ just the 3G service. As of right now though when I hold my Xoom it just feels complete, like this is what is was originally supposed to be. And finally I don't have to sit and wait around for full functionality. So I'm a happy camper and love my Xoom!

The upgrade Depot where our Xoom's will be receiving their long awaited upgrades is located at:
CTDI
2246 Galvin Drive
Elgin, Illinois 60124
It looks like a Third Party will be doing the upgrade.... http://www.ctdi.com/

Would be interesting to know if you get your actual device back (s/n etc.) and if they wipe data/re-flash a new ROM on it...
or if they are literally just installing an LTE chip...

Finished mine this morning and waiting for the package to arrive but I think I am going to wipe mine and use the stock images on mine before I send it out. Just to be safe.

I did the process on my Xoom so it all worked but I couldn't print out the packaging slip. The only thing of value on there is the RMA number right? I'll just make my own packaging slip I guess. Can't figure out how to get it again.

You should get an email with the RMA number, and on the tracking website you can use your Contact Phone number and Zip Code or Serial Number to track it.

Right I have the info just couldn't print out packaging slip.

This will roll you all the way back. Don't think it will matter though. Don't forget to lock! http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/2788-how-return-stock-3g-4g-hr166.html

I just printed mine out also. I'm thinking I may just password lock it and leave my current rom on it and see what happens. Since everyone else is rolling back

Me too. It says that the package will be by my door on the 30th.

Well I guess no standard dock for you then. You know they will all be gone by then. LOL.

just submitted my request my box should be here tomorrow ( 9/30 ). Just a side note to people who may not be home when the package is delivered, they are requiring signatures. If you will not be home when it will be sent they are allowing you to use a different address, i put in my work address to make things easier.
Since we can change the address to anything we want i would assume anyone who bought a xoom second hand (craigslist ebay etc) should be able to complete the upgrade process without any problem.

Here is a link to the Verizon page that take you too the Motorola page for anyone who is skeptical about the provided link. Sorry OP just hard to trust the WWW.

Can I drop it off?
I live the next town over from Elgin IL, can I just bring it over and wait for it to be serviced?

Where did it say how long without out our xoom? I have 2 to ship out.

I read somewhere that overall process if you don't miss a beat should be about ~6 days. I'm going to be constantly updating the original post with my experience.

It's a great tablet, I had one for a week - but - mine had an issue with updates (it wouldn't update). Speculation points at this being due to having no serial number in the ROM. I returned it yesterday. Lesson - make sure you can return it, or, be prepared to send it back to ASUS in case your's has this issue.
BTW - 2 online requests to ASUS over a week ago still go unanswered. Not impressed with their support on this.

Eternal Team 7th of May sale

Who ordered a 4G/64G/2.3ghz model from Eternal Team during the sale on AliExpress?
I ordered one. Still waiting on it to ship.
If anyone wants to have a conversation about the order process from Eternal Team team I'm happy to have a chat about it here.

I am waiting too. I think i will be minimum 1 month before i get it (and U)

Same here. They just promised me today that it will ship in the next 7 days. Just have to wait and see.

It's been almost 7 days. I am exposed to Forex rates losses (good 10 dollars loss) in case Ali Express closes the order and reimburses.

I was one of the first few to purchase the 4gb/64gb model when the sale went live. (If the counter on the site was correct.) I received a tracking number from them last night for Singapore Post. Assuming it isn't a bogus number, it looks like they are shipping them out.

Nothing yet, 20 hours to cancel and a string of polite emails to the eeller requedting updates. It loos like they did not have the number of units they promised and want to get away with a with it.

i got mine shipped a day before time expiration. wish you luck!

Mine had just been shipped as well. I went with the DHL option so it should get here within the next 4-5 days.

They waited for the last day to ship it, and didn't respond to my questions. I ordered it with ups expedited (3-7 days) and the tracking number they gave me doesn't work. So i believe it's a fake number and they don't have shipped it out yet. It was supposed to be my first android phone
But anyways anybody who gets it please post it here so we know it's real because everything screams scam on this order, so we know it's real

They say they have already shipped mine too. The fact that your TN does not work is because tracking systems need about 3/4 days to update. This is not the worry.
Could you people say if your TN is of origin Malaysia???
Mine is like RCxxxxxxxxxMY. This *could* be OK if they are shipping from manufacturer and not from China as usual, but one never knows.

I thought UPS updates it's tracking system right away. My tracking number doesn't have an prefix or sufix like yours it's all numbers and a few letters here and there. But I really hope it's shipped at least because there are rumors that ASUS can't supply the orders for some countries like France because it hasn't produced that much units.
Edit: I just received an update that the Order is Processed: Ready for UPS. So that's good news

i don't think they are scammers i think they are legit... from my experience at least...

Received shipping notification last night.
I ordered mine one hour after they started selling them at the special discounted rate. Because I paid for the ZF2 quickly, I qualified to receive a free gift. They said they will also be sending me a Silicon Case and Screen Protector.
They sent me a Singapore Post (singpost.com) tracking number. I just tried checking that tracking number and it currently isn't available and can take up to 24 hours to be available for tracking.

Where to get it "from stock"

I ordered mine from efox-shop.com
Shipment by DHL Express was fast, but it takes around 5 working days (after the order/payment) until it is picked up by DHL and shipped from their Hong Kong warehouse.
So expect 5 - 10 working days before it reaches you. In Germany, DHL also does tax and VAT and collects the amount cash at delivery... Don´t know how that works in other Countries.
AOSP apk are easy to get in the Google Play Store (which is already installed and easy working).
Hope I could help.
best regards

According to Elephone Facebook site, US version will probably not be released until July. Originally, back in November, I was told January, then before April 20th and now it's July?

Have you got your phone already then? I've ordered mine via Elephonestore and am deciding whether I should cancel the order or not as they aren't clear when mine will be shipped.

No, I have not ordered yet. Been waiting for the US version, which they keep delaying and can not give me a definite date when it will be released. Makes you wonder about the quality of their work, when this is the way they do business.

Haven't got it yet only arrived in UK today, so probably get it Tuesday, and yes hope no duty to pay. I’ve often wondered what would happen if I refused to pay the postman, he’d take it away but would I be able to get a refund from the sellers via PayPal?

Dunno let me know how it goes though. At most you'd probably get stung £20-£30 which isn't bad as it still puts the phone under £200 which seems about right. I'm deciding now whether I want to cancel with elephonestore and reorder this via another shop or go with a Xiaomi Mi4s or Redmi Note 3 Pro. Both around the same price but then I'd be losing NFC and Band 20 (not a big deal for me as I might switch from GiffGaff to EE if I do). Did order a £5 glass screen protector for the P9000 that hasn't arrived yet so might just write off that and just go with a different phone. Annoying thing is Xiaomi probably locks boot loader or isn't close to vanilla android. Lots of good phones out there for around the £200 mark!

I think a lot of people still awaiting shipment these days. Next weeks community will start with lots of discussions. Lets keep connected with first experiences of tax & device itself. @DaBountyHunter: I also thought about switching to Xiaomi or Redmi (Note) device, but will give the P9000 a chance first (i also like the NFC, QI-Charge, USB-C features and also i hope for a working gyro in the P9000). I have tested the Elephone Trunk for couple of days (handed over to a friend) and was pretty ok with the quality (also with 3 OTA updates within first weeks for the Trunk it seems that Elephone is working on ROM quality for their new devices).
Br Arangato

Personally I definitely wanted Android v6 Marshmallow, and neither of those two alternatives have I believe, but the P9000 has.

Yeah that's definitely one of the things that drew me towards the P9000. It's got everything there the only negative is the P10 is a bit underpowered but then all I do is surf the web... whatsapp and play Clash of Clans and it'll be fine for that. Just wish it was easier to get hold of !

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2s, it's a well made phone and before the most recent ota which redeemed my Neuxs 5x it was my daily driver but it's frustratingly poor Android experience. You can replace the launcher so it looks like something other than the bastard child of IOS but miui 7 is very very aggressive in killing background apps, which makes listening to music difficult so I'm hoping the P9000 with stock is a better experience. I'll let you know.

I first ordered it on 26th March and received it today 9th April: that’s 14 days (10 working days) I’m happy with that.
So in answer to the question “Where to get it from stock" e-Fox for sure.
It looks good came well packed, I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet only put it on charge so far.

Was it via DHL? Thanks for reporting back. Wish I didn't waste time with Elephonestore and saw these people first. Please update if you do get Tax because sometimes they are crooks and send you a letter a week or two after you've received the goods. You can normally dispute the admin charge on that but you still have to pay the customs and vat unfortunately.

The shipping agent (from HK) was Netherlands (PostNL International Mail) then it was passed on to Royal-Mail to deliver, I didn’t have to sign anything, (but I was still in bed when the postman came) the package had a declared value of $75 US on it.

Cheers mate looks all good then! Hope you enjoy the phone !! Happy days !! also does yours come with the silicone case in the box as others have?
Also which shipping method did you choose as there's three there...
Registered airmail... german express... and dhl

I order my P9000 also at eFox. But since 02.04 the status is "Shipment ready to be shipped". Nothing happens
