I've had my A116 for around 7 weeks. For the first month the phone had excellent battery life; it easily lasted all day. Now, the phone dies after half a day just sitting in my pocket. I'm convinced that the phone battery is defective, but the service centers are rather far from me and I leave Bangalore in a week.
I can't find anywhere online to buy a battery. Have one of you smart folks figured out a compatible battery that I can buy online?

I live and work in Whitefield and head back to the states on Friday. I don't have time to go to the service center unfortunately. The Sangeetha store recommended I send my servant to the service center, but I do not have a servant

I'm travelling to NYC in a few weeks and am really interested in buying this phone. The cheapest way I found is ordering it from Clove or Handtec and have it sent to a Fedex office for me to pick it up (it will be impossible to receive it at my place).
The only inconvenient I have is that I will be here for 11 days, and in case i order it 3 or 4 days before leaving i don't know if I will receive it on time, as I'm not familiar with US customs.
If anyone has another idea, please tell me, as I'm desiring to buy this phone from a long time now and in Argentina is impossible to do so (it's $1300 at least!).
Thanks for your help and excuse me for my english, I'm working on it
Cheapest way to get it my my opinion would be to Purchase it on www.expansys-usa.com its 719.99 use promo LSJUNE25 for 25$ off. Have it shipped and call fedex to hold at fedex location. Goto the fedex location and pick it up. I got it over at expansys it took 3 days to deliver to NYC and I live in NYC. It's really upto you. If you are staying at a hotel, you can get it shipped to the hotel and get it. If you need any help let me know.
The phone actually cost me 694.99 after the 25$ off. If you sign up for ebates.com you can get 26.50 cash back so that will drop the price even further.
Also.. No tax/ free shipping over at expansys.
The only problem of buying at EXpansys US is that they require an US billing address, which I don't have. And I'm not staying at a hotel, it's an apartment where nobody will be available to receive it.
Check mobilecityonline. They are located in downtown NYC

MCO is an option, the only problem is it'll cost 100 bucks more as it's 740 plus tax. That is a bit off my budget , considering that from UK I can get it with case, screen protector and MHL adaptor for 750 with shipping.

Hmmm. Yes. Do you have any friends here in the US that you can give cash and they can order it for you from expansys? Also another idea, they have an option to pay with paypal. Maybe that will bypass the US billing address. Give them a call, They have great support working there. They'll help you out.

There´s no one I know that lives in the US, I've already contacted them and pretty much told me there's no way I could buy it. I'll try with Expansys UK, as I think they take international credit cards. I read in a thread that someone from NYC already bought from them. Thanks for your help.

Alright. Hope all ends well. Some tips for NYC... Please .. OH PLEASE! don't stand in the middle of the streets of nyc looking up at the pretty lights. People have to get places so move over to the side and don't stop randomly in the middle. That's the only reason i hate tourists. Other than that enjoy your trip!

Thanks but I want to buy a brand new.
hi all, few weeks back my hp tp left speaker died thinking it might be rom related i flashed but to no luck tried searching for spares but cant find any i found a disassembly guide in ifixit but need a new speaker. have anyone experienced the same problem?
if u bought it during the fire sale u have about a week till (8/20) the one year warranty expires.
http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/na/touchpad/touchpad/wifi/supportservices/page_en.html
go to palm support and CHAT with them. do not call cuz that cost money.
once u get an RMA they will send a box and take care of Shipping.
then go here to wipe and remove android
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
once wiped send it in and your speaker will be fixed, it will take about a week.
Should I take a chance and send my TP in? My charging port is loose but it charges still. Do they send you another refurbished TP or the same one repaired? I have until the 24th.

they will not send ua refurb, they will fix yours and give it back to you. sent it in a month ago for a bad charging port, brand new connector when i got it back. same TP tho.
if u got lucky enough to get a refurb then it likely have abetter battery than u have today. but thats super unlikely if they can just fix it. there is NO risk

Don't wait, it isn't going to get better. Report it now and arrange for it to be repaired while the connecter is still sort of working and you can remove Android.
I had the same problem and was only just able to remove Android before it totally died. I have it back now with a new part fitted and its working fine.
I cant really do that as I got mine from amazon and I'm not located in us shipping it back to usa is not practical for me if only replacement parts are available then I can diy

I'm pretty sure they have service centers internationally... Imo it's worth chatting them up while it's still under warranty and seeing if they can work something out for your situation.

no, I mean with people who fix phones
You have paid for a repair that had not been effective........take it back and threaten them with the ombudsmen/court/solicitors......you're not going to get anywhere if you don't stand and fight your corner
i did try that 1 bud and they want me to pay another 35 for it fixing im not sure who to report shop too but definately bad traders

Go to local council or C.A.B. is the best advice and get them nailed!
okay so my question might be a little off topic but i gave my watch at the service centre for a replacement and it's been more than 50 days now and still haven't recieved a replacement. i have called the service centre million of times but all they say is the company isn't sending a new one yet your order is approved but still haven't recived it yet...
so i even emailed them and they still haven't reverted back to me
so what should i do now ?
any way i can grab their attention ? it'll be like 2 months after 10 days
PS: the service centre is in mumbai and i myself residence in mumbai

Hey guys, I got a duplicate battery on eBay and it is literally sh*t. I want to know whether we can get spare battery alone at service center in India. The mi website shows its available for 599, do they charge extra for service?
IIRC one member had mentioned that it cost him Rs 1200 in total.
It coated me 1180 rs

True i also wasted money on duplicate battery(doesn't even last 10hrs even during deep sleep)and ended Up replacing new battery from service centre (rajajinagar, Bangalore)
I'm getting 8hrs sot with new battery in nos rom
Most of the battery which u get from local stores or eBay are 100 percent fake (even in sproad Bangalore each and every shop bundled with fake [email protected] battery,) as far as my experience don't waste money on battery from online or local store i don't know where those service centre ppl import battery
Google code mentioned in my battery(top right)u may get some information (R-41029122)
I paid 599+gst+350(service charge) total 1089
Again trust me dont ever purchase battery from any local or online store for saving 300rs ? ?
You cannot purchase battery alone from service centre
No other option
Yep and they charge too much for service fees
Thanks guys for the help, will go with service center original battery. Better to spend few hundred extra to get better battery life.
Is it possible to get it shipped to Europe?
