Here's how the story goes:
I bought a brand new MDA Pro a few months ago. I tried to use it as a satnav with iGO but of course that was not possible because the 64mb RAM of the device was not enough. So I decided to upgrade to 128 mb of RAM and I started searching here in xda-developers. I read the section of the Wiki about upgrading and also I found a couple of threads. Well I found out that the best option for me was to send my device to a guy called SHAKAL007 who is located in Czech Repuplic which is the nearest to Greece where I live.
His name was in the wiki's list about the shops around the world that can do the RAM upgrade. I contacted him via email and he replied me immediately to all my questions after a few minutes (very suprising!). He told me that he would need a couple of days to finish the upgrade (software and hardware part) and that he wants 74 Euros for the upgrade and the chips including the P&P fees to send the pda back to me. I found the price very reasonable and agreed to pay him via Paypal immediately as he asked me and the next day I posted my precious device via registered mail.(How stupid I was that I paid extra money for registered post).
After a few days he told me that he received the device and as soon as possible he would do the upgrade and he would send me my pda back to me. I waited a few days but no news from SHAKAL007. I sent him another email asking him if he has finished the upgrade. A few days later he responded to my emails (in the meanwhile I had sent him a few more emails) and he told me that the hardware part of the upgrade has finished but he had a few “software” problems that he finally succeeded to solve and that he would send the pda back to me. That was all.
Please notice that the pda was sent to him on the 26th of November and after more than a whole month I have sent him tons of emails but get no response. In the beginning he claimed that he drives a truck and cannot be online because he is not home. Well I think that is a kind of trick so we dont bother him. That's all RUBBISH!!! I know that he logins in xda-developers all the time. And when I see he's online in xda-developers, I send him emails in his personal email address and of course I get no response but he is just keeping ignoring me.
Hey guys who is this SHAKAL007? As I can see he has only 4 posts since 2006 he became a member of our very helpful to everybody community and all of them are related to the upgrade. The posts are about advertising his business. So in my opinion, this guy has not offered anything to this community but he just uses it to make money and steal other people's devices. I dont know why but perhaps he sells them to Ebay(?). The most funny (or tragical) was that when I was sending all these emails and he was ignoring me I was sending him private messages here in xda-developers as theseas asking him about info on the upgrade. Of course he didnt know that "theseas" is the guy from Greece that has sent him his uni. So the same time that he was ignoring my emails, the same time he was answering me to all my (fake of course) questions here in xda-developers through private messages. Then I was started to think that SHAKAL007 is a SCAMMER because he was still looking for other victims to steal their devices, to do them what? Sell them to Ebay and make money?
I was the best customer and paid him promptly the same day via Paypal. Well SHAKAL007 is not only a SCAMMER but IMPUDENT because he asked me to pay him 74 Euros just to steal my device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course I know that the mistake is mine and that I am responsible for that but I saw his ****ing name in the wiki. I thought he is confirmed. Who wrote his name in the wiki list, I suppose that he did it for himself.
Perhaps I am wrong but I feel that I had to open this thread just to share my bad experience with you and help you not to loose your pda and your money because as I told you he asks money too!!!!
Perhaps I am wrong but I told you exactly what has happened to me until now and all that I know and have seen about Him until now.
IF I AM WRONG AND WILL EVER RECEIVE MY DEVICE UPGRADED AND IN FULL WORKING ORDER THEN I WILL EDIT THIS POST AND APOLOGISE TO SHAKAL007. I THINK THIS IS FAIR FOR ME AND FOR HIM.
BUT FOR NOW MY ADVICE IS NOT SEND YOUR PRECIOUS UNIVERSAL TO THIS SCAMMER!!!!!!!
MOD EDIT: Removed real life names, see my post below.
this post is reserved for me and I will edit it to apologise to SHAKAL007 if I ever receive my device upgraded and in full working order.
That is very sad hearing about your device. Why dont you approch the Paypal customer support to file a fraud ? Paypal will have their local branches of the service provider to take a legal action. Try to include Paypal in this case as soon as possible. I think he should be banned from our beloved community if found guity.
Well as I can see right now SHAKAL007 signed in in xda-developers today and his last activity here was at 6:44 AM. Of course he has seen the thread because I have posted a visitor's message in his user profile but still no response even after opening a whole thread about him. Also still no response to my emails.

Dealt with Paypal after someone on these forums took my money and admitted he 'forgot' to send the Universal to me. I asked for my money to be returned to me, but he stopped contact and kept my money. Well, Paypal investigated, concluded in my favor and recovered.... USD 0.77 out of USD$150 I paid. And that was the end of it.

Thanx for your support. As you can see this SCAMMER doesn't ignore only me but ALL OF US who are honest and genuine members of this community. I suppose that he thinks that we ALL are stupid because after a whole thread that I have opened he keeps on ignoring us. As I told you maybe I am mistaken and I am wrong while accusing him. Why he doesnt post a reply just to protect himself and his business he has setup in our beloved forum?
PLEASE CHECK HIS USER PROFILE AND NOTICE THAT HE LOGGED IN TODAY and his last activity was at 6:44 AM.
His user profile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=276576&vmid=8281
Diamond owner here, but couldn't help but notice this thread as I was scrolling down. This is his supposed address taken from the guest comments in his user profile. The road doesn't seem to match up with the area he mentioned:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&h....077646&spn=0.003338,0.010514&z=17&iwloc=addr
Maybe someone can find his IP address and 'pay' him a visit?
EDIT: Just noticed the following. But street number doesn't match up with the provided address.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&h....081852&spn=0.053364,0.168228&z=13&iwloc=addr
EDIT2: To get the second result, just type 'vitezna' in Google Maps. Something's fishy. I don't understand the address standard of Czech Reublic so maybe a Czech guy can make sense of it.
Waow that sounded really strange. well i guess admins and mods should beaware of his ip incase he fleds his account and goes under another new account here at xda.. i hope you guys will manage to solve this mystery and i hope justice will be brought forward..
AS much as I sympathise with this situation we cannot allow sensitive info such as that posted to be on our forum. There isnt any evidence which shows beyond a doubt that this guy is a scammer, suggest further action is taken along the correct routes.
The info has been removed so xda-developers.com is not in any silly legal situations later on due to this thread. I trust members will comply with this small request?
Has anybody contacted the website host, ISP of the whois entry etc...??

as i have already told to all of the guys here i thank them for their support. perhaps mrvanx's opinion to remove personal and sensitive info is correct but i dont think that it matters because all this information is in the section of the wiki about htc uni ram upgrade. this info has been provided by the xda member that has my device right now exactly for this reason: to be able to approach him so we can upgrade our devices. also you can find this info in his personal site which is dedicated to the upgrade. the link of this site is also in the wiki.
I also agree with mrvanx that we are not sure if this guy is a scammer. I have said it in my first post but until now from all i now and from all that has happened to me by him this guy is a scammer and for me he will be a scammer until the opposite will be proved. And the opposite for me is to get back my device upgraded and in full working order.
Hi all, sorry to hear the bad news, but jus my bit... Mods, wold it not be safe to "remove" shakals007´s name from the upgraders list in the wiki???
Again, just my bit, don´t mean to annoy anyone...
All the best and good luck in getting your device back...
Willy
Here are the steps you need to take if you paid by PayPal.
1. File a dispute claim with PayPal (You are allowed to do this for 45 days from the payment. After 45 days you are out of luck).
2. Go to the open dispute claim and then escalate the claim for PayPal review (You can escalate it any time after filling a dispute claim. The maximum time allowed is 20 days, after that you are out of luck).
3. He has to respond to PayPal. Describe your situation in the PayPal claim.
4. Either he has to ship the item to you with tracking number or you will get your money refunded.
Hope this is helpful!
KOR!
He will receive 74 euro refund and than what? Paypal will not cover the money that hasnt been sent through it...
My advice to theseas, try to go to your police station and report stolen phone to them with IMEI number of your uni if you have a box or a phone store bill... They have the authotiries to forward your request to the police in any EU country. It's a long shot but you never know...
I lost my uni last summer. I set on my scooter, put uni in front pocket and when I arrived to the destination uni was gone Real stupid, and tomake things worse i diddnt have the box with IMEI number so th police could find it easily in my country...
I have already filed a claim through Paypal but I also agree with Duke Nukem that Paypal isnt gonna give me my uni back but Paypal is just the first step. Have also sent again an email to SHAKAL007 and I hope to get a response this time. I am sure that he follows this thread, at least at weekend if he really works as a driver and is at home only at weekend as he has told me but this time he is not stupid to login with his user name. Perhaps I shouldnt have written that I know when he logins in xda-developers by watching his user profile. Now he knows and he wont use his account to login.

Thank god! Man you finally spoke to me! You answered to my last email that I sent you yesterday and you finally posted here to protect yourself. The only problem is that at least me I dont understand what you want to say because obviously you have used an automated translator. If it is possible rewrite this post using simple english like mine or ask a friend of yours that speaks english to help you. If anybody understands please help me guys.
Well I have said in this forum that I didnt like accusing you but tell me what you would do man if you had sent your pda and your money to someone that doesnt respond to your emails for a whole month. It's quite simple what you would think of him. As I can understand from your automate translated english you say that you were not online. No man you were online here quite often (I am not fool and nobody here is) and as I have said everytime I knew that you were online here in xda-developers I was sending you emails and you were ignoring me. Even the time that I opened this thread you logged in and of course you saw everything but even then you didnt say anything. Everybody knows that you were online that time. If you really had problems why you didnt tell me? Why you didnt tell me when I was almost begging you for an answer to my emails. I was begging you because I didnt want to open this thread. I am not sure that I would get an answer from you or my device (I havent received it yet) if i hadnt opened this thread. Well I dont have to dispute with you about anything, I dont really care anymore. The only thing that matters for me is to receive my device. And I am waiting for facts because I am tired of words. Words are for free, dont cost anything.

I suppose here you mean that you apologise because you were NOT able to send the pda back to me earlier. Because 17th of January is quite late, it has been almost 2 months.
@SHAKAL007: you might just have cleaned your name Hope all goes well and theseas get's back his phone, he really have been concerned. I retreat my words and accusations. Due to your business i hope you could be more answerable when you get questions and find sometime to explain deadlines you will hold. that would make the customer more peacefull
well i do not understand your english fully by what you wrote on this thread but i believe you used a form of language translator on the internet..
many days have passed now .
what was the overall outcome ?
was he a tea leaf or just a bad businessman
I'm glad that it finished

Maybe he really got caught up in bad circumstances, but what was he doing on this forum if he didn't have the translator to send you the messages
Is the device OK? Is there 128mb?
Hi guys, hope this doesn't breach any forum advertising rules or anything. But my nephew is doing a project at school about the mobile phone industry and why consumers sign up to certain networks. He's looking at marketing in particular and has done about two questionnaires and research etc...
Anyway, he asked me if i could do one of his questionnaires, so i did and i thought i'd put it on here so he could get more responses. Now it was originally on paper so i've just copied it into this website. There might be a few errors as i haven't fixed it all.
I'd be very grateful if you guys could fill one out for him, shouldn't take longer than a couple of minutes.
Just to let you know. To fill this out, you have the be a Three UK customer who has left/switched from a different network in the past.

Thanks guys.
P.s please no spam answers or any bias based on the traffic sense thing. The survey Is meant for new customers who have just taken out a contract recently.
I think there is a problem with the link, it brings me to a page displaying; "Incorrect survey link code!"

Hi guys!
Do you know any web sites who write real free reviews about android apps? Not payed reviews, not review exchange, but just honest review of my app, its good and bad sides.
I tried submitting my app - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.triladroid.gps to all websites, posted in this topic - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800333
And from most of them I got an e-mail with suggestions to pay money to get positive review and featuring on their websites. From now on, I just starting to think that it is almost impossible for a developer to get a free honest review on some website.
Maybe some of you know websites who are interested in writing real review for free? Maybe your app was even reviewed on some website?
I will appreciate if you share your experience with me.

The question was about free real reviews. What you are proposing is to make a payment for sending proposals to review one's app and then make other payments for those reviews. Maybe your service is really great and saves a lot of time, but one still have to make a great investment.
Unfortunately, i don't know of any site which will make a free real review. There are lots of sites which will post your review for free, but they lack audience who will read it. Others make only paid reviews.
Unfortunately i don't have a great message count here, but you can check my record in biggest computing forum in Russia - 4PDA
I want to share with you my very unsuccessful experience with that company called Sunchip!
In december 2014 i bought CX-929 RK3288 android stick from them. It arrived pretty fast with DHL and pre-sale communication was also very fast.
In January 2015 i contacted Sunchip to order another unit for my aunt as a gift for her birthday, and again everything was very quick and unit arrived just in time..
Ok, so now the issue. My own unit (the one i bought in late december) just got broken. No signal. it was recognising Ok by PC, i could flash by backup files but it was something hardware related, probably HDMI.
So i contacted Sunchip about my problem, and that where the problems begun.. First of all communication speed has drastically fall. I roughly got replies once in couple of days.. Then, after we agreed that i need to send my unit to them for repair i been asked to cover both shipments to and from Sunchip! In my long years practice with China suppliers this is unusual request, especially when purchase been made just in less than a month prior to warranty cal! Only after my direct email to CEO of sunchip, they accepted one way delivery payment! So i sent my package to china with registered mail on 08.02.2015 and it's arrived in China pretty quick. Unfortunately it fall on New year hollidays in China, so i been forced to wait untill sunchip will back to work on 27.02.2015 as per Mr. Kobe Chen words.. here is the quote :
Hi Jacob,
Well noted, we are on Chinese new year holidays and will be back to office on Feb 27th, we will inform you when we receive the package.
Thanks.
Regards,
Kobe

I don't like to push on people so i waited patiently even untill 03.03.2015, but because nobody contacted me, i asked Suchip if there is any update ?
Hi Jacob,
Sorry, we haven't received the parcel now, I checked the status from the website as below, there was no any updates from FEB.22, it seems that we need to go to the post office to check further.

That was the last email i got from Sunchip!!! Since then i didn't received anything from Suchip.
See below my last couple of emails that not received any attention even though they was sent directly to CEO and to Sales manager :
12.03.2015
Dear Mr. Aigo Xu , Mr. Kobe Chen,
Unfortunately it’s more than a month now since I wrote you my mail. I already sent my package and it’s arrived in China on 24.02.2015.
I am aware your company was on new year holidays until 27.02, but why we are now on 12.03.2015, 2 weeks after you fully back to work and nobody care to go to the office and collect my package ??
Please see below Rachel’s answer I received on 03.03.2015 :

So i paid 95$ to this company for the stick and 10$ for the repair shipment and i have nothing for now and it doesn't looks like they even care to wrote me couple of words.
So If you read this - Mr. Kobe, Mr. Aigo Xu or Mrs. Rachel, you can keep this unit with yourselves and save couple of bucks as you probably decided to do. I just hope that this message will be read by people who maybe thought to buy something from you and it will help them to save few bucks too...
Thank you for reading.

Hi G4 owners,
I'm working on an android app where users can go to stores, collect media for vendors at said stores, and then upload the media to my servers.
The problem: I have one really loyal user who is on a G4 and he keeps running into an issue where he can't upload his data. He's not the most technically-apt person and, since the G4 is so new, I can't find a cloud testing service that has the G4 available.
I'd like to ask for assistance from someone that has a G4 and knows (or is willing to learn) the basics of using logcat. The odd thing is I'm not able to replicate this issue on my nexus 6 (5.1) and samsung s6 (5.0).
Any G4 owner that could help would be greatly appreciated; I'll try to make it worth your time.

I'm intrigued, can you tell me more about your app?

Hi flex0r,
It's a merchandising application. Users are allowed to select certain stores and collect different type of feedback based on that store's project outline (interview a manager, restock a shelf with a certain product brand, take a picture of a promotion display, etc). Once we've received and processed this data from the user we compensate them with paypal credit.
Nice, I haven't got a lot of logcat experience but definitely a tinkerer that can help you out!

Awesome! I'll PM you the details.
I haven't been able to get a response from flex0r, so I believe he's likely occupied.
Still looking for a willing candidate with a G4 to test some things.
I sent you a PM.

Hey Cebalrai, I bounced you back a PM.
I hope it's not being filtered because this account is new. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Hey buddy,
I will be more than happy to help you out with this project, though I absolutely HATE PayPal and their policies, so I will do this just to give you a hand and AM NOT look for compensation for any work I do for you.
Hey ZeldaFan,
I don't need you to actually go anywhere and submit authentic data - I just need someone on a G4 to download my app, login with details I'll provide, and attempt to upload any media (pictures/video).
I'll PM you some additional details.
