Mobile Phone Recycling

Hello all, it's finally come time to get rid of my faithful HTC HD2. I've had Android on it now for a couple of years, essentially saving the phone from a dusty cupboard since upgrading to the SGS2. I use both phones, the GSII mainly for net and the HD2 as a phone because it's got hardware phone buttons and means making and taking calls is so much easier.
I considered putting it on eBay but there's a fair few on there and i've had scammers come at me from all over the place back in the day. I ended up using a comparison website to find out how much i'd get and to be honest it wasn't that much less than I expected through eBay.
So i've got rid of my HD2 and i'm using the money to put toward the Galaxy S III when that comes out. I also have a second contract with a GS II so maybe next year i'll do the same, or even sell it now and pay the contract off
Anyway, if anyone else wants to have a look at the site it's www.onbay.co.uk/recycle

Not worth it in think you better off selling at a pawn shop or craigslist.

Luck
Did you try your luck on the xda-dev's seller forum?
All you really have to do is post up your device, and look at the offers from other members.
Not a bad deal in my opinion.

I'm just a bit wary when Joe Bloggs is involved, there's a lot of nutters out there. Pawn Shops rarely give me what i'd like, plus they'll be selling it for £100 more within the hour. Even if the recycler does that...at least I won't be able to see it.

I have listed a phone through there but nobody took interest. I've seen some scams too, plus it all seems to be 90% USA.
Thanks for the replies anyway

Fair points, we'll how much did you get for it, if I may ask?

Trade value of newer one s for a nexus one or similar phone?

I have a newer HTC one s that I've had for a month or two now, I got it on a future shop warranty upgrade as a replacement for my old HTC desire. I am tied into the warranty for another year and a half paying monthly. It was $10 a month on the desire now its $13 a month for the one s cause they consider it a higher end phone than the desire was I guess. Anyways I miss the desire and a few things about it like expandable memory plus money is tight lately so i have been thinking about trying to trade the one s to someone for their older nexus one or similar phone and have them take over the monthly warranty payments. My girlfriend still has the desire and I like the look of the n1 a bit better and would prefer not to have the exact same as her. I also liked the huge selection of roms for the desire/n1 and prefer stock android.
What do you guys think chances of getting a trade, I see some n1 advertised about 2 hours from where I live between $120 and $180. Maybe I could buy one and sell mine but would prefer a trade as things may go much smoother. Thanks for any ideas or advice.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Please rest with your new One S!!
I would change my N1 with that if I had money to spend as-of-now..
Nexus One (such as Desire) have lots of problems, such as Multitouch axis issue, faulty hardware (mobo to replace sometimes), no more official Google support since ICS, etc.
There're a lot of issues here.
Just my 2cents.
Sent from my HTC Nexus One using xda premium

Well I haven't had the multi touch issue and I don't play any games on my phone. I have only run custom roms forever so no real issue with updates. No mobo problems with my old desire, my girlfriends or my friends. Mine had a menu button and home button failure which I think was caused by me sanding the paint off without disassembly. (made mine polished chrome). I have no issues with the one s except I already ran out of space on the internal sd card but I still miss the feel of my old phone even though it may not be quite as fast.
Anyways it looks like I may have made a deal purchasing a nexus one with extra battery, dock and a 16gb card for $115 so I will be selling my one s for enough to cover that and the extended warranty balance plus some.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

What are you selling your one s for? And is it unlocked? Have had my nexus one since day one and still love it. But i was maybe looking to buy something new.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app

It bootloader unlocked and rooted not carrier unlocked yet but I think I will do that with the tools on here. I'm thinking $400 with the otterbox and one other case, screen protector on it and the 17 months remaining over the counter warranty (only good here in Canada).
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

You're really crazy to sell your One S and buy N1 ! ! ! !
Don't do that Please ! ! ! !
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk 2

If I was happy with the Desire is their anything much worse about the n1? The dock is a big plus to me, and call quality is probably better than desire because of the dual mics. The one s has dual mics as well and does seem noticeably better than the desire.
I miss my desire and figured the n1 would be pretty comparable. I already sent payment for the n1 anyways and will be advertising my one s locally. I think I got a pretty good deal on it even if it is a bit beat up. Selling the newer one will put me ahead financially.

So were pre-orders for the Nexus 7 started at midnight?

I would think there to be a tremendous difference in demand between a lame ass 7" tab and a quad core 2gb mobile phone with the latest hardware priced insanely cheaper domestically than elsewhere. Insanely cheaper, period.
Never know but I don't expect the 16gb Nexus 4 to last 5min.

Why?
Only people who follow these tech sites know about the Nexus 4 here in the UK, no tv, radio, newspaper articles have been shown.
We also get stock from a totally different country to US orders.
For the mast majority, only people who go into an O2 store will know about it, and their stock differs from the playstore stock.

What does spam f5 mean and what kind of info should you have ready?
I have already bought stuff from the Google Play store so they have all my details. I figured I would just sign in well before midnight and when the Nexus 4 became available I would select it to buy.
Has anyone bought like a device on the first day available and would like to share what happened?

Assuming you're serious, spamming F5 means quickly and repeatedly pressing the F5 key on the keyboard, to constantly refresh the webpage in hopes of it letting you order the phone

I have never heard of that before even though I have been around computers since the 70's. Thanks for the clarification.

I thinking the UK is going to be the easier place to get a midnight order done. There have been no ads or whatever as someone in this thread has already said. Also, here in the UK the majority of people buy off contract phones so this one isn't going to be that different. But on the flipside in the US there is a massive LTE network that you wont be able to access and that will cut the amount down quite a bit. I'm guessing they will sell a lot but I don't see it selling out...... unless they start running ads after they open the site to orders.

I wouldn't bet or hold your breath on a midnight release, but who knows anything can happen.

Have note 2 but love htc one. Good or bad decision

When htc was produced good handsets I loved them and always bought htc but unfortunately I then discovered Samsung .
I have a note 2 which is awesome . Battery is fantastic and the screen is excellent but I've seen a few reviews on you tube for the htc one and am so tempted but I don't know if it will be a bad decision.
Will the one hand anything my note 2 won't ?
I love the 5.5" display on my note but am ok about going down 0.8" as we all know size isn't important
I can get £250 recycle for my note 2 which means I lose just over the same amount as ive had my note 2 since launch. I can get a payg on three for £475 and the launch models are usually unlocked and unbranded or £520 off amazon but don't know if it's with the extra dosh.
Oh help me please my wife thinks I'm daft wanting the latest thing but the htc one looks awesome I just don't want to regret the decision if I get one
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I'm in the same boat as you and I'm strongly considering the One. But I'll wait for user experience first before deciding on getting one. I suggest you do the same since all the questions we have about the device will be answered then. If battery life is acceptable and there's no problems with the device I'll get it for sure. It's definitely the sexiest phone I have ever seen

My wife is lucky lol my only vice is technology I love samsung but hate the way they push out updates . I am debating the note 3 but it will be too big and the s4 is made of plastic.
I might wait for a month or so to see what the htc one is like in the flesh but want it now cos its so god damn sexy.
Oh what do I do . Im hoping my local p4u store has a display so I can look at it and then decide. The only thing stopping me is the fear of a poor battery like the one x and one x plus
I usually buy straight away but my little gremlins are telling me to wait a while
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Its at least about 4 other threads with Note 2 users..
im a note 2 users as well and im bored and want the latest and greatest.. but i suggest just wait to see what Samsung announces next week.
HTC done the same thing last year and Samsung ended up topping them. so we would have to see what happens this time, its just best to wait for a few more days.. you'll still have time to sell your note 2 regardless since the HTC One doesn't release till the 22nd people are saying.
im getting the HTC One but i am not selling my Note 2 for it.. not worth it.. no matter how old it is.. might consider selling it for the Galaxy S4 or Note 3

I'm in the same position. I could hold on to my Note 2 and get the One on upgrade in a couple of months, sell the note 2 for about €450 and cover the extra €150 to buy the one on release then save my upgrade for later.
Regarding the Samsung updates, my girlfriends Vodafone branded SGS3 updated to JB ages ago. I got sick of waiting for my Vodafone branded one x to update to JB so I just sold it.

My last phone was a note 2 and I sold it in order to get the xperia z initially but now I am getting the One.
Btw mancuk29, why not sell your note 2 instead of recycling. You can get more than 250 for selling it.

The Note II is practically flawless, so don't jump for the One's looks and HW just yet, wait for the first few weeks of user feedback to see it's issues. I'd only switch for practical reasons say you want a smaller phone, don't care about the sylus, plastic is falling apart etc., but do not jump for style over substance reasons, make sure you'd be better off with the One and the investment it worth it. There are few perfect devices on the market, the Note II is one of them.

I had thought of selling it , they are going for around £350 on ebay but then there is 15% ebay fee to consider and then 10% paypal which works out at £87.50 so I would make £12 more . Im lining ebays and paypals pockets .
I might hold off till june / july so any issues are sorted or any complaints come out .
The problem is that if I see the one ill buy it so need to steer clear of phone shops for a few months !!!

I only use gumtree to sell products, as I heard about ebays selling fees. I fetched 390 for my note 2 on February 1st.

Might put it on gumtree . The only thing which is slowing down my impulses is the battery as I've been spoilt with the note 2 and get a day and bit out of my note 2
Why can't htc put a bigger battery in then it would be decision made grrrr
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I 'm sure after getting hands on real device you love it more than N2 and P4u update their recent review in which they mention that battery life is really good but I personally think N2' battery life is bit better but more or less H one's bettery life will not be disappointing, you have to compare and choose between three major factor large vs 4.7 screen , plastic vs metallic body, standard audio/video vs better audio/video shooting
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Guys, i agree the htc one is very beautiful, all metal and all, but seriously how many of us carry their mobiles without a case/cover? If i were u, and the size and weight of note 2 were not an issue for me, i dont think i would have let go of the n2 for one. N2 screen does look amazing. For me its just too big.
I love the one, specially the looks, but i guess i will keep my hox for atleast a few months, till proper user feedbacks and comparisons with hox are available. Again, i have kept my hox protected in a cover since day one, and it has helped tremendously in surviving a few falls.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I wish I bought all my phones from you (the OP). £250 for a Note 2 is a bargain.
I personally think you'll be in for a shock when you see how much smaller the screen is. I think the drop in battery life will put you off too.
But at the rate you buy phones it's not a problem I suppose. If you decide you don't like it you can always upgrade to the Note 3 when it's out.

You'll pick-up:
A brighter, higher res display (LCD = more realistic colors and less contrast [greyer blacks])
HTC's new camera approach (4MP vs. 8MP on the Note and 13MP on new high-end phones)
Zoe to capture and manipulate images in a new way
Dual amplified front facing speakers
BlinkFeed to view news and social sources on the lock screen
A more premium feeling device made from metal vs. plastic
A faster SoC/GPU
An IR port to control your media devices
Sense which has a more modern and integrated "feel" than TW
You'll lose:
S Note, S Pen, airview, multiview
A 5.5" SAMOLED (more vivid colors, better outdoor visibility, blacks=black) display and return to a 4.7" display that was last year's standard
Some app compatibility until developers modify their programs to support 1080P displays
All the non-S Pen related TW features like motion and voice controls and Smart Stay/Rotation
A huge swappable battery
Cheap expandable and swappable storage up to 80GB
The ability to update to the latest official ROMs using Odin without voiding your warranty
Wireless charging (if you're even using it)
AVRCP 1.3 to show title/track/artist when using A2DP and possibly the ability to direct dial calls via BT (you still couldn't in Sense 4+)
For people that bought the N2 without planning to use its expanded features it was probably not the greatest choice in the first place. I replaced my Teg3 One X with it solely for those additional features. Otherwise, a 5.5" phone is a pain in the ass to use. If people bought it for the larger display then, unless they've changed their mind, the One and SGS4 aren't really equivalent. Since you didn't mention features and did mention you don't care about a smaller display than any of the "newer and shinier" devices coming out will fit the bill. And at 12" away you won't notice the difference between 1080P and 720P because the human eye with 20/20 vision can't resolve the additional detail at that distance and beyond no matter how much everyone swears they see a difference.

Galaxy note 3 Simfree UK Price?

Hey everyone, anyone got any idea how much the note 3 will be simfree in the UK I've got an s3 at the moment and I bloody hate it need something a lot more powerful with a better screen and screen size. I'd be willing to pay like 500-550 although wouldn't be willing to pay over the odds like 700 for it or what they normally try to charge. So yeah anyone got any idea on how much the note 3 will be simfree only as I really don't want to be stuck in and tied down to a contract.

Had to return 2 consecutive GN1 to them which cost me over 200 bucks because the first one had a bad screen bleed and second with bad dead pixels.

what, spigen screen protectors are mid october in your hands? fck need a temp screen protector asap. link me to what you got? curious to see.
I was going to do a hybrid case but I don't like our already large phone, to be larger. that's why I've always got back replacements, never back/sides or even a complete case that covers the back piece.
from what I read, the spigen screen protector I got from amazon is available 20 september, say 10 days to get here. makes 30th, then if the note 3 is released 25th, say 5 days which is what I can remember how long it took last time, might both be bang on? and 10 days for the spigen is stretching it, I reckon it'll be like 5 days or 7 max

Check out clove UK. I've pre-ordered mine there last night... It will probably end up costing me 725 aussie dollars with FedEx shipping

How? Cloves prices without VAT is 495 pounds.. Converting that to aussie dollars gives 838 .
