[INFO] Screwed over by the Eee Pad launch - Sign In Thread

So, I've been lied to by Asus' chosen retailers, and I've seen people who placed orders after me receive tracking numbers, while my own shipments are indefinitely backordered. It seems I'm not alone in that.
I have no choice but to cancel my orders in a week from now, because I'll be out of the country with my family for two weeks, and nobody will be around to collect deliveries. Given that the 48 hours we'll be spending in airports and airplanes was one of the key reasons I decided to buy the Transformer now rather than waiting for something better, I almost certainly won't be buying one on my return -- once my orders are cancelled, it's game over for Asus.
I was utterly disgusted to see that instead of apologizing for the inconvenience, or giving even vague information as to when they'll be providing more stock, Asus had the audacity to post about how we "love" them on their Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/asus...mer-sold-out-in-north-america/194700557240017
There's plenty of info in the US retail availability thread, but it's hidden in 400 pages of posts. Hence, I thought it might be a good idea to collect together all of the unhappy, would-be customers who've been lied to and mistreated by Asus' launch partners in one place, where Asus can see that love is not an emotion we're feeling right now, and that we're extremely unhappy about how we've been treated.
Air your grievances here. Have you been lied to? Have you been passed over for shipments by retailers, when those who ordered after you are receiving their tablets?
Tell Asus exactly how you feel. If you have plans to cancel your order after a certain date, let us know when. And if the way you've been treated by their retailers has persuaded you not to do business with them or Asus again, don't be shy about saying so.
Personally, Asus has 7 days to get my tablet to a retailer who will actually ship it to me. If they don't, I won't be buying an Asus product, ever again.

I placed my order around 3AM with amazon, as of now, still no activity on the order... while people who ordered after me got it.
I think it may have to do with the fact that my order showed up as coming from Target.com/ITC or something but now its showing amazon LLC.
Then I placed order with Datavision, who over sold and have gotten the money back.
Then I placed order with TigerDirect and they, it seems over sold as well and have been hearing and reading lies from them since yesterday.
Asus screwed up big time!

So you're blaming Asus? Awesome. Doesn't sound like you've been an early adopter before.

You aren't alone Knox; I ordered mine at the same time as you did. I'm pretty sure we were chatting in the IRC room while we were waiting for it to get released.
I talked to an Amazon rep yesterday who guaranteed me the product would arrive on the estimated delivery date. I talked to another one today after the shipping info wasn't updated and that rep basically stated the previous rep lied to me and that I would not be receiving my product as expected.
I'm throughly upset because I could have ordered it from another retailer at the time and received my TF tomorrow or Friday.
I'm not sure if I'm going to cancel now and get the Acer or wait a week to see if I actually get the TF.

Asus didn't provide sufficient supply for the launch, have provided no information on when more stock is expected, tried to spread what tiny stock they had across too many retailers, didn't require their retailers to sell first-come first-served, and failed to supply *any* accessories or 32GB tablets at all.
I'd say they shoulder a very large part of the blame.

this alone makes me believe you are crying over spilt milk.
its a early launch. supplies are limited. all asus did was supply the product to retailers. how the retailers handle it is their business not asus's. if you're that hardcore about raging over the retailers that you wont buy another asus product, you have issues.

To be quite honest, I'm sure that ASUS has given away more free tablets to reviewers, contests (both twitter and facebook), college student "representatives", etc. than they sold... how exactly are they making money on these tablets? LOL

Have you even read the engadget post? it clearly states it's unknown whether it's because of limited supplies or huge demand or both.
Asus had already said there would be limited supplies in a statement, and the point still stands, if they had built up stock first you still wouldn't have it now since it wouldn't have been released for a while.
In essence you're just sour grapes because some people got one of the limited supplies and you didn't. And if you can't have it no one can have it.

Yup, and each of those came with a dock, while they haven't sold a single dock in the entire US market.

i bet you will be buying another asus product because they make many components for other companies

I think the main problem was the race to launch first, certainly in the UK. In the US the Xoom has been out for a while, which is why I think Asus wanted to concentrate more on the UK (makes a nice change!) so that they could pip Motorola to the post with the UK launch. The Xoom was originally set to come out on the 9th April, and at the last minute Asus managed to get a limited number of units out to uk shops around the 6th, although I didn't discover this until after that date.
Truth is that I would have bought the first tegra2 tablet that came out in the UK, and I had been waiting (mistakenly) for the xoom on the 9th. On that day I got out of bed, went down to PC World and tried to get one, only to be told they had been delayed until middle of June. A couple of days later after reading more about the transformer I found out a local Comet had one in stock so I bought it. A few days later I noticed PC world had the Xoom in.
My point of this very long story is that this is just happening this time round with this set of tablets because the manufacturers are rushing to get their tablets out to the masses and be first. I think everything will settle down soon and people won't feel 'lied' to once the availability is sorted out. Asus could have given a more solid date, granted, but like seshmaru said, if they'd held on to stocks until they'd had enough to go round, then nobody would currently have one.
You can't really blame Asus for the retailer's actions. If Asus hadn't given them a solid date or numbers of shipments expected, then the retailers shouldn't really be advertising the product for sale, or should at least inform the customer they aren't definite dates. They only make the things, without having their own entire distribution arm like Apple, they can't control what retailers do!
Still sucks for you man going on holiday! I've been there, waiting for gadgets to come before a trip away and they haven't arrived, it's not fun!
Think on the positive side man, if the only reason you bought this was to use for a trip, then buy yourself a good book instead, and bam! Saved yourself £400! I'd invest that money into training a monkey butler.

It's not like they didn't see this coming after they botched the UK launch.
AT LEAST a few folks in the UK got the keyboard docks - from everything I've seen in the US "launch", no one received a keyboard dock.
So yes, Asus, how do you "launch" a product with such insufficient stock - and with ZERO keyboard docks - which btw is the PRIMARY feature that sets your "Transformer" apart from other tablets?
There would be a lot more happy customers if, following the UK debacle, Asus *announced* that the US launch would happen in May - or June - or whatever it takes to actually have an ample supply on on hand - and oh yeah KEYBOARDS too!

Forgot to add, ASUS is the one that announced the launch on 4/26 - with a list of retailers on their own page. Yet several of those retailers (sears.com, staples.com, officemax.com, officedepot.com etc) NEVER even received stock.
How do you announce a launch date - and retailers - but don't supply those retailers with any units?
Yes, in my opinion, that falls on Asus.

I think blaming the retailer and the supplier can be split into two separate debates.
The retailer, reseller, gougers, etc; that is just the nature of the business. How they handle their customer is independent to each store and that is where your money speaks loudest.
Amazon I feel did an amazing job. Their order system processed all orders with no crashes up until they were sold out. Once sold out, they site updated to backorder. When you place an order, you assume the risk of delays and backorders. How heavy handed you want to be on a company is up to you but does not change the fact that when you make a purchase, you play by their rules.
As for ASUS, I think they did a terrible job. They put one posting of low quantity on facebook for UK. Then for US post, they have a huge banner that says "On shelves on 4/26". There was not a single item on any retailer's shelves. There were no communication with their retailers to give them constant updates on status. They release the Keyboard Dock but have absolutely no availability. Communication was terrible to their customer and their retailer which are their customers as well.
ASUS needs to get their act together if they want to attempt to compete with Apple. Hell, even a multibillion dollar company like Apple makes mistakes, but they sure know how to launch a product and connect with their consumers and retailers (strict pricing, etc).

"I can't get one so no one should get one"
btw UK launchdate didn't have the dock either, and the dock is an accessory, accessories are released at a later date more often.
If they had waited the Iconia a500 would possibly have gained momentum, (which it didn't, but it could've) this is the best strategy for Asus seeing as demand is far exceeding the supply, it's been a raging success for them. Besides they promised a Q1 launch around march last year, at least they stuck to their word without any launch delays.

Google admits speakerphone issue w/ Pixels FYI

In the process of returning my second phone now for this issue... what a pain. Glad to see they recognized it as a problem though!
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsIW_gxTpXX3s/?hl=by

They mentioned all devices manufactured after Jan 2017 should not have this issue. I received my phone 2 weeks ago. Is there a way to find out when my phone was manufactured?

Not sure, but I will say that I doubt I will be purchasing a phone from google again... spent half my day trying to get expedited shipping with no luck from them (this is a business phone).

You're not going to buy a phone because you can't get expedited shipping? That makes sense.

I would like to know how to find out as well. Went through the "About Phone" but didn't come across anything. I purchased mine a little over a week ago from a corporate Verizon store, but no telling how long it had been sitting there in stock.

The only way to tell is by getting a refurbished one directly from Google.

How to check manufacturer date & where is it made from.

If Serial sticker label on the Box says Rev B then you've got the revised version and you should be ok.

Just got off the phone with Project Fi to process an RMA. Mine was manufactured 01/23/2017 and got the microphone issue.

Importance is subjective, as well, but considering not getting expedited shipping is probably not actually affecting your business I'd say the importance should objectively be somewhat low.
Also, if this is a work phone and you're trying to get it today, there are literally stores everywhere that could sell it to you, in person. Aside from a locked bootloader, they're the exact same phone.
This is all irrelevant, because we know nothing about what (s)he was talking about, above. He very-well could have been trying to get Google to give him *free* expedited shipping for some reason, in which case none of this matters. I highly doubt he was just ordering a new phone and they were refusing to let him buy expedited shipping.

550k S8s ordered in two days

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I saw this earlier:
http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-pre-orders-hit-550000-in-two-days
I'm going to start calling BS on this article and others like it. All the stories I've read so far have been quoting "numbers" but all of their sources are directly from Samsung (press releases?). There's very little they offer in terms of third-party accounting of how many devices have been sold. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but this just sounds much too much like the tech press fawning all over itself to report publicity numbers and never verify anything.
If Theranos wasn't proof enough that the tech press doesn't seem to mind quoting nothing more than press releases and fawning over the CEOs with absolutely no proof of the actual story, then unless they can provide actual corroboration from third-part of carrier sales, this isn't real.

When I placed my order the rep on the phone told me she'd had very few orders for the device.

They (Samsung) could be seeding the story with false numbers just to make sales jump. If you imagine a thing is in demand, you may well go and buy that said thing because you see it as a thing others want.
It's a thing.

What concerns me about this is, if i recall correctly, the fine print on the free Gear VR with preorder said that there was a limit of 350k units for the promotion.

Here in Australia pre-orders have outsold the supply of Gear VR but Samsung is honouring the deal but is advising that there is a 3 to 4 week delay on the bonus item. I work for a retailer here and its so far been the largest phone pre-order in our history. Samsung isnt making it up.

I saw the same and it concerned me. Surely there are more than 350k pre-orders in the US, let alone people without a pre-order who try to buy a device day one. There will be a lot of phones getting into people's hands next week, how long before that 350k units is gone?
I ended up swithcing my pre-order to Samsung.com. Automatic enrollment, and the stuff ships with the phone instead of waiting. No risk of not getting it.

Available on ebay?

Just noticed a couple eBay listing for this phone already is it shipping already?

Hot dang. The highest I saw was $2,699.00 for the phone with 5 people watching it.

Yah saw that too the sellers seem to have it in Stock, as apposed to preselling it.

hope they don't delay the release. From what it looks, the bezel less display will be pretty common by last quarter this year.

The phones on eBay are pre-sale. Look at the fine print. Anyone that says they have one is a scammer.
The reservation list hasn't even been upgraded to a order list.

Xiaomi Mi 9T have 27w charging?

Hello people!
After searching for Mi 9T loading (global version, not K20), I found different information on 27w load compatibility. In the official page of the device on the site of xiaomi informs that the load is 18w, but I am in doubt if it accepts the same loading of Mi 9 and K20 PRO. Would anyone have the concrete information?

I think it doesn't but differences are minimum, check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkTYZy8Wlo4&t=567s

I am still waiting for my 9T to arrive, but I will also be ordering a 27W charger. When both arrive, I will compare the 27W charger with the 18W charger, and confirm either way.
Hopefully, I will be able to by 25th July!

Is the charger that came in the box a 18 Watt charger?

Mi 9T/K20 won't support 27W ! Just K20 Pro.

https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/quick-charge-device-list.pdf
MI 9T/Redmi K20 supports QC4+, so it should support 27W (but it's not working). Maybe it's blocked by Xiaomi.

Yeah, I already spoke to the police, and have a crime number.
The police called back, after six weeks - I know they are under stuffed, and I know they have bigger issues to worry about.
Police are saying that since Yodel have admitted the "lost" delivery, I am better off going to citizens advice bureau, rather than the police. I've asked them what they will do about protecting others from the driver, who clearly knew what he was doing.
I ordered from Gearbest, who are refusing to refund me, as yodels tracking states the delivery was successful. This is despite me giving Gearbest a letter from Yodel which confirms the delivery was "lost"
It's a messy situation - even with CCTV, this has been difficult. Imagine what would have happened if I didn't have CCTV, and it was my word against the drivers!

Since you guys seem to be from the UK how much did you buy it for?
I bought it from Eglobal Central UK not the safest place but better than something like Aliexpress IMO.
Price has been reduced again it seems. There's also other colours and storage options.
It looks like it will be delivered on the same day I return from holiday... so I may miss it.

I bought it from Eglobal Central UK not the safest place but better than something like Aliexpress IMO.
Price has been reduced again it seems. There's also other colours and storage options.
It looks like it will be delivered on the same day I return from holiday... so I may miss it.
Will inform then right now.

That is cheap! 450€ from Amazon DE is what I've been looking at. What 'version' is that from Eglobal Central UK? Is it the global or EU? I'm not too clear on what the differences are and whether it matters?
I prefer Amazon as they have a very helpful and easy to use customer helpline/return service

EU? I think that is only meant to be a custom rom. So there's China, global and India maybe? But not EU I think, because that seems to be a rom China units flash onto their phones because of ads? I think I messed it up slightly just now, global roms with ads?
All you should learn from what I said is that there isn't an EU version, the rest I have clearly no clue who what where lol.
Anyway, that is the global Mi 9T I bought, there is no China unit which has "Mi" on the back or in the name. Because that's what differentiates it from the "Redmi" K20 since the Redmi part would be on the back and in the name. Same applies to Pro variants.
Also they all have the exact same dimensions so you can buy a case no matter if it says K20/K20 Pro or 9T/9T Pro they work on each variant right?
