Hello there,
I started searching for a Dream G1 and i found this announce on ebay :
http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-HTC-G1..._trksid=p4295.c0.m299&_trkparms=|293:1|294:50
Can someone tell me what's the problem ? Can I buy it to use it or is it useless ? Thanks
PS : I'm french so forgive me if my english isn't perfect^^
yeah, it shoudl work fine! all that needs to be done is a factory reset and you will be able to register the phone just fine without getting the error the seller is getting.
Are you sure about that ? If yes, thank you very much ! I can finally get this phone^^
You're too late, I already bought it
hahhaa jk. Yea, you can do a reset or just reflash the rc29 or rc7, root, and flash your rom of choice.
Lol you scared me ! Thanks for your answer. I'll take it, but for the moment i wait my refund 'cause i bought a G1 on ebay and the seller hasn't it... So I wait on him now and as soon as possible i'll take this one !
How can you guys be sure that a hard reset will solve the problem?
Usually get this message when a non t-mob sim is in and the APN hasn't been set up. Easy to get around as you just press menu and then add apn and enter the settings.

because i had this same problem and all i had to do was reset the phone to factory settings and things worked out just fine!
On the flip side of that, could have a bad radio and be unable to communicate with the G1 servers due to not being able to find a connection.
And if it is a radio problem, is it possible to replace it and then us the phone ?
It would probably be far easier to just look at another fully functioning phone.
On a side note, I messaged the seller and he/she isn't willing to try a hard reset to see if it fixes the problem because the phone is "already packed for shipping". I wouldn't bother buying from someone who's not willing to do this...could be shady.
just make sure you have a data plan on the sim card you put into the phone
Thanks for your answers ! I have found another one which was very interesting :
http://cgi.ebay.com/G1-ANDROID-GOOG..._trksid=p4295.c0.m299&_trkparms=|293:1|294:50
With 8GB SD Card, unlocked, in a very good condition ! i'm very happy and I can't wait to have it (and mod it^^) !
Thanks again to all of you !
You didn't buy that one did you? You can buy one in better condition for around $200 shipped if you're patient!
I paid $195 for one that was a month old and was always kept in a case and with the original screen protector...flawless. There are also plenty on Craigslist that you can deal on...not sure if you can find them in France, but worth a shot.
I see NEW ones in box on craigslist for like $210... try there, better to buy local.
I didn't know Craigslist. (but it is not secured as ebay is no ?) And I already buy the one I show (with 8GB SD Card) I thinks it was a great deal for me : the price I pay was 280$ (with shipping cost), in euro that's about 202€. In France often see this one at about 250-300€.
I need a staples receipt of a nexus 7 8gigs purchase made 16 days ago or less, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help me.
Um... I don't want to impose on anything, but you will need the correct address, won't you? Don't you have to return it to the Staples you bought it at? If not, what about the Serial Numbers that are attached to the device? Will that matter? I mean, I worked in electronic retail before, Fry's Electronic if you know it, and we check the serial number of the device before we accept returns. So good luck with your request. Again, anything could have happened. There are plenty of pure reasons as to why you'd need this. I'm not trying to impose or anything.

You are better than me. I can't think of any reasons related to this request that don't involve theft from the merchant.

I swear this isn't theft, my tab has a defect, I don't have my receipt, the store needs a receipt for me to swap it out for a fresh one, this is manager + general manager approved.

It came from staples, its a legit product.
I've work in the retail business. The store can generate another receipt for you. It will be on their system. Tell them the date, time, or even just your name and the system will bring up the transaction.

you shouldn't need a receipt from the store, all you need is proof of purchase - ie. bank or credit card statement/records
edit: just realized the OP is in the usa,,,, my post may not by of any use.

yup
did you pay by card? thats even better as your statement from the bank showing the transaction can be used as proof of purchase in the uk, ive relied on that one a few times
ok, look in the uk if the product is faulty im sure you dont need a receipt as long as you can prove you bought the item in that store, has the sales-assistant or manager confrimed "remembering you" buying the tab? if they have already said they remember you coming in and buying , you shouldnt need the receipt for exchange of a faulty product.
im cursed i seem to always pickup the "less then right" one lol
i buy a motorbike millions others have bought ...my one wont go as fast.
buy a hd tv millions others have bought,..... it doesnt sound right.
buy a new phone....the battery wont charge.
and so on lol
edit: example bought a xbox original controller from "game" didnt work.....took it back no receipt, sales assistant said i paid cash had no receipt and couldnt get a refund as i coulda bought it anywhere......... i pointed to the box..and controller......both had "GAME" logos'.....lmao what a knob !!exchanged!!
The reason they're having a hard time doing this is because the 8 gig was discontinued and it keeps locking them out of the system with the older receipts :/

Hello there, i have a (maybe silly) question,nexus 4 is out of stock in Google Play Store and google not saying nothing about when they are going to have, i was thinking of buying the phone at ebay,but i'm afraid about de warranty because i readed about people that have problems with their phones,so my question is.
Even if i buy the phone in ebay the phone is covered by the warranty of google? or not?

I dont think so :/ For it to be covered by google, it needs to be bought from the play store.
Buy from someone you know and have contact.
If you but from ebay u will have tons of warranty issues. With the aggravating circumstance of having paid much more.
At least from some Warranty credential store.

No problem. You will have your warranty insured by Tmobile agreements.
with playstore, warranty is only for owner account, not for 2 hand invoice owner.
Someone on this forum is having his/hers replaced even though they bought on ebay. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34314828&postcount=194
uh you need to get warranty on tmobile to have it they just don't give it when you buy it for more than 30 days i'm sure it's insured by google for atleast a year or LG under the manufacturers warranty

Did you figure it out?
I bought a Nexus 4 from craigslist for $550 on Friday cause I thought my play store order would take 3 weeks (was in limbo), but just yesterday, I got tracking number and it is being shipped today (they upgraded me to next day air). Now I'm thinking of selling the used Nexus I have for $450 (100 loss ) so that I can keep the one I purchased myself in order to avoid warranty issues. Will I have warranty issues if I keep the one I bought outside of the play store?
Hello,
I have this device: https://imgur.com/a/iyZdeLX
Bought it from some bad seller for a stupid amount of money (as it was advertised best device)
My problem is that the device gets factory resetting every other day, I loose all preferences and applications that I install, I already over-consumed my 3G data plan downloading waze and other applications that I needed.
He told me before stopped responding (dispute finished is his havor) that there is a solution, an SD Card with some special software that will allow device to store any installed application or preference on it.
Does somebody know how to make that? I am willing to pay to make this head unit work. It's over 1 month and I'm very disappointed as I lost a stupid amount of money and most of all lost the radio that was by default on my car and I can't even change it back.
I already installed most of the updates here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../rom-malaysk-rom-px6-rk3399-1024x600-t3956762 .. but no luck, still resets (screen icons disappear after it gets reset and I have to reapply update)
Thank you for your time.
Best regards and happy new year.

If your unit was purchased from eBay or Amazon open a dispute with them. If you paid by credit card then contact your card supplier. They will help. All goods sold in Europe must be supplied with at least 1 years warranty. If you are in the UK then as a last resort give trading standards a call.
Please post link of seller so I can see what they offer in terms of warranty.

This is the problem purchasing from China. I will see if I can find it. But it does sound like a faulty unit. Have you checked your wiring to make sure you have permanent live feeding the unit when vehicle is switched off? Also check you have a good ground connection.

Yes learned my lesson in the worst possible way, I checked at the service guy, and he said that the wiring is ok, device does not reset every day, it resets after 2-3 days.
I will wait until next year and I will go again to service guy to check again ground connection.
I think it's maybe bad storage, and I think maybe an sd card with saving forwarded to it can solve the problem, but I it's only my non-expert opinion and I don't know where to start or what to do.
Thank you for your time.

I have never heard of this make. 40 day buyer protection is all you have so keep all emails to and from the seller to dispute the problem.

Dispute is finished, I lost. I tried to talk to AliExpress, even on live support.
Seller lied to me, he sent me 2 updates in 2 week period saying that it will solve my problem, but actually he stalled to wait for buyer protection to end.
I made a dispute and seller again told me about that SD card, I believed him because I already payed import fees, installation fees, returning item meant other fees that could double the unit price and sincerely I made a credit card to buy that crap.
AliExpress closed the dispute in his favour.

Go to your credit card company and explain the situation to them and tell them it's unfit for purpose. You have protection with credit card company.

Even if you did buy it in November your credit card company will still be able to help you resolve this matter. They can even get your money back for you.
Good luck in the new year. I hope you either get it resolved with your money back or getting the unit useable for your needs.
Their are many people on here who may be able to solve your problem.
I have a similar specification unit as you but mine is an Xtrons branded unit. It's the 3rd unit in just over 2 years and they have never let me down as yet. All are still working fine.
As I said, good luck and hope all works out well for you.

The thing is that I don't believe is from the device, because it gets factory reset at exactly 3 days after last reset. Every time, no exception
If it were from device I think it would reset randomly ... not exactly like that.
So it must be from software, but since I don't know anything about software, I can't really analyze.
There must be a solution out there.
When I install update it asks me for "format flash", should I check that? I never checked that box.
Thank you
No one has any suggestions to my problem?
here must be a solution, please, I am wiling to pay to make this crap work.
I bet there is a soft issue since it get's factory reset at exactly 3 days, there is no exception, every 3rd day it gets factory reset
You didn't happen to leave the flash updates on the GPS card did you? Did you delete the flash files after installing them or at least remove them the head unit?

Hello, thank you for your answer. No, I install it via USB then I remove that usb flash.
The only thing I never did is to check that box that says "format flash" when applying update. Should I check that?
Thank you.
Update on this device: if I don't setup google account .. device never resets, everything works, I need to install applications by apk file.
It's there some issues with Play Store? maybe some permissions that trigger device reset after 3 days ?
Thank you
Did you find a fix yet? I have the same problem..
My MTCE 10.2 inch head unit keeps resetting the factory settings after a hard reboot....
I tried almost everything.. I even used the 5 pins on the motherboard to flash it with a recovery mcu image and also used the dmcu.cfg
But still no luck...
This will be my first time posting on any forum, so forgive anything that I do wrong.
I recently purchased an onn 100005207 from a thrift store, and after using the boot menu to wipe the data, I was met by an FRP lock. For the past few hours, I have tried countless methods to bypass it, and none of them have worked. I can offer more information if needed.
Give proof of purchase to the manufacturer of the tab or ask the thrift guy about the person who sold it. The device could be stolen because it was dirty erased.

I would try that, but the thrift store doesn't offer a detailed receipt, so I doubt it would suffice as proof of purchase. The second problem would be that donations at this specific thrift store are anonymous. I will still attempt to contact Walmart to see if they can do anything.
Well you should try contact the manufacturer or smth like that.

Discussing bypassing FRP would help thieves all over the world make use of stolen devices, and who would want to take that kind of risk?
You need to return the tablet to the thrift store for your money back, or if you cannot, then you can use it as a practice device for electronics repair, and consider it a lesson learned to thoroughly check devices before you purchase them from a place where returns may be difficult.
Thats exactly why I cant help you
I may or may not know how to do it but I cant assist you in getting into a possible stolen phone.
Try give it into the police and tell them that ypu think it is stolen.
They will investigate further.
