Hi,
I purchased the TG01 in February and I have lost my temper with it because it's so horrible, but I know there are a few developers out there looking for a real device to work with, so I thought I'd sell it.
I'm looking for anything over £65, It's in good working order with a few scratches on the screen and it's generally in OK condition, but the speaker is quite quiet.
If you're interested please reply to this thread.
Thanks
PS, I will consider swapping phones if you want

Hold that thought, we might be able to buy it from you for the Android project if we can raise the money. £65 shouldnt be too difficult to raise!
Please dont sell it before speaking to us about it.
I'm in Blackburn Lancashire, whereabouts are you?

.. is there an Android TG-01 developer fund - I'll contribute if you're able to buy a cheap TG-01
i'll contribuite too..
I have posted in the Android discussion thread and Alex has kindly offered to hold the donations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672234&page=25
decide between yourselves if you will and start a donations thread and get the money rolling. Someone needs to pm tjcooper17 to ask him if hes still got it and whether he's happy to wait until the money is raised.
I'll ask dzo (or any developer users recommend with a track record for Android development) once we have confirmation that the purchase is going to happen.
Best of luck
tjcooper17 can you post some pics of the device since you say it has some scratches and also what comes with the phone, is the box, charger and everything with it and lastly is it sim locked to orange or unlocked?
Hi guys,
I'm in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The device is locked to Orange, I'll post some pictures in just a minute and I'll send it with everything I got in the box:
Phone
Charger
Manuals
USB to PC Lead
CD Drivers
I should be able to get you the device including delivery for £70 if that's OK.
Pictures in just a second
I'm having real trouble uploading the pictures at the moment, is there an email address i can send them to?

I think he wants to show us the phone.
Well, I believe him anyways
@tjcooper17:
What about making the pictures smaller?
Than you could place them here at xda as an attachment on your next post.
Sorry to butt in on this thread! We have a donation thread for TG01 Android development :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=804051
.. and a direct link to PayPal :
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/w...63663d3faee8dc60d77e6184470d51976060a4ab6ee74
.. so far, £15 has been donated
Regards,
Alex.
OK I've compressed them quite a bit, didn't realise how big they were.
thanks for the pics.
The thread for the donations has been closed down by mods.. I'll pm the mod on how we can do this without collecting money on here. The only other way I can think of is if enough people pledge to put money towards the phone, then we donate to you directly.
Leave it with me.

It appears that the word donations is contentious.
So if we want to do this, the best thing is everyone PLEDGES what they are willing to put towards a device on this thread, once we have enough money and a developer who wants to help, we can pay tjcooper17 someway and get him to send the device to the developer.
Sorry about the mess, I guess these things are there to protect xda users from fraudulent transactions so its probably wise not to ignore them.
On that note, I will say if anyone has any suggestions how this can be done without hickups, please feel free to put your ideas forwards.
Lastly, Endrix is the lead developer here, I have been asked why I am not accepting the device myself, it is simply because I do not possess the reverse engineering skills to take this project forward and neither do I have the time to learn to do so.
I am quite happy to help out where I can and look forward to purchasing a tg01 if android is successfully ported to it which I look forward to being a part of.
Cause right now i am having brand new 4 of 64 GB Asus transformer prime champage !!! just send me email [email protected] and it's yours tommorrow... no need to wait for amazon !!!
i would not buy from this man, as poor grammar skills are indicative of a bad sale
lol. spidey sense tingling.
what he says 'Cause right now i am having brand new 4 of 64 GB Asus transformer prime champage !!! just send me email [email protected] and it's yours tommorrow... no need to wait for amazon !!'
what we hear ' hi everyone, first time post in the forum but hey, its no problem, you'll all trust me and gladly part with your cash for some very expensive tech which will then probably not appear'
but what do i know. someone may pay up. fools and their money are soon parted.
Right. Go f yourself.

Let me help you out new guy. Instead of offering a sale via email which is extremely unsafe why dont you range a pick up purchase at a nearby public location, like at McDonalds or shopping mall.
Holy crap you guys are quick to jump on this man. I'm in no way defending him or even claim to know him, but wow give the man a break!
He specifically stated on the thread itself that "if you live IN WESTMINSTER, CA". That in itself tells you that he's offering to sell this LOCALLY, hence offering his email so that anyone near him that's interested can contact him to meet him.
You are attacking the seller, why? It's true that buyers need to be careful who they buy their products from, but shouldn't a seller like the OP be careful as well? If he offers anything more than his email, wouldn't he be placing himself at risk?
Because of him offering the bare minimum information in order to arrange a meeting (at a public and safe location of course), I think this man is doing the right thing.
BTW, to the guy who responded about illiteracy. Westminster, CA has a HUGE Asian community, with a lot of them being ESL. I hope you're not so ignorant that you still assume everyone who lives in the US speaks English as their first language.
i am offering a contact information through email and we will meet in a public place, just have one left. thks for ur help tairen, you're the man
No problem
Some people here are quick to jump to conclusion, but they are good people. Next time try to give more details as to what you want to do and there won't be any misunderstandings!
Stick with eBay people, at least you can be covered by Paypal!
Lokifish: PayPal account was frozen due to multiple refund requests in a short period. I even had mine frozen at one point because of three refund request for donations made through xda in a week. PayPal froze my account, demanded that I issue refunds using another funding source even though there was more than enough money in the account. PayPal also took a month to give the money to those that requested the refunds and then took six months to let me have access to the near $500 in the account. During the six months they also blocked any incoming donations. In short, PayPal operates outside of FTC guidelines and could care less about the customer or vendor as long as they get paid.
As far as the rest of your noise. It's not a retail product where there are tens of thousands of these things sitting in a warehouse. They are hand assembled by a company with less than 10 employees that also gets hundreds of emails a day, packs, labels and is tagged on hundreds of social media post a day.

Not a retail product, really, just like it wasnt a real backers product! I was never a backer, I was a consumer that pre-ordered with a promised December shipment that changed to mid Jan and now March with no reply(70 days since email and no reply) and a cancelled Paypal order with no refund!
Congrats Le Fish disguising yourself as a dev!
Buyers be aware that Omate and Rocki have split and Rocki have all the backers funds not to mention the pre-orders as well, Omate is broke and have lied their last lie!
Le Fish, protect Omate all you want, it wont save them and it wont stop consumers from receiving chargebacks from a scam company!
I have been a supporter of XDA since 06 and I have never seen such a scam as this I now urge XDA to shut down this scam and part themselves from this fraud! I know this is a scam and you Le Fish should be reported, reported!
Please feel free to report me to the moderators and admins and whomever else you please. In fact, I insist. I would also like what ever comes of this to be posted in this thread and stickied for all to see.
It's obvious that homer285 doesn't really contribute to XDA since they have been a member for 8 years and only have a thanks rating of 23. This posting reflects that lack of a contribution.
Lokifish Marz is not Laurent Le Pen.
Research before you post in the future.
I don't think I need to contribute to this topic. Everyone else said enough.

Hey Homer...
U MAD BRO?
Mr Le Martian Fish... If I send you my ts, would you sign it as LeFish? I swear I'll put it on a glass case and save it for eternity..... This is just epic!
Some people deserve a high five.... In the head.... With a chair...!
WoooW man - you should really find a hobby...
This isn't funny - it's sad...
Why do you even connect XDA and Omate?
XDA is devs forum/portal and there's no connection between them.
Omate TS is out for many users and they have evey right to develop and share apps and infos.
I'm October dev too, so what?!
First, read KS "rules" - there's no 100% ETA, nothing is 100% is KS, that's funding platform and TS isn't first device that has/had some problems...
And the funniest part is - you find time to write that silly post but haven't had decency to read who is who?!
But hey, at least - it's funny, we don't have to read garfield today

Isnt it just, because its all about the thanks! Isnt it funny that the thanks button only started a few years ago(Ive been dormant long before that), before that i was partly responsible for bringing a custom ROM to XDA O2 Atom in 06 and HTC HD2 ROM dev, from which I received donations that were substantial, not that I wanted the donations, never-the-less I gave back to XDA and I gave back to devs, ask our most distinguished dev!
.
I have started this thread not to troll but to make other non suspecting users aware of the scam that is Omate and Rocki, believe it or not it is a scam!
I dont even care about the people trying to protect the scam AS ABOVE, I am not going to fall into your trap of troll retaliation, since you are!
Facts are facts and thats life, you replied and now lets let the forum consider what is right.
Cheers

I did report you, however, I dont think you need more exposure in this section, every second post/thread is yours and whilst I think on one hand, youre a great help, very informative, on the other hand, to every negative post you are fast to protect Omate, even in FB G+ etc you are very fast to protect Omate no-matter-what! Sorry dude as much as I want to think you are just a 'random dev' helping a 'random company' I wasnt born yesterday and neither were the XDA community!
Just get out, before I report you and all your work ends up meaning nothing. I know Laurent, and I know Loki, and they aren't the same person.
The only thing xda is asking at this point is why someone with your "tenure" would throw it away in favor of acting like a stupid child.

Oh? Is that why in the originating post you're mostly just accusing Lokifish of being Laurent Le Pen? You're attacking a freelance dev, and for what, because Omate shat in your Wheaties? Wow, I know people talk about first world problems, but this takes the cake. I suggest you try going outside sometime, there are WAY worse things in the world then a dev wanting to improve a watch he likes.
So you bought a pre-order from a company you found on kickstarter that was at the time clearly struggling with development and schedules, and you want a medal from us all?
By the time pre-orders opened, wasn't it already clearly known that Omate were part of Umeox (so you knew exactly what you were buying into). And you still jumped in?
This is the most amusing part of the story so far.

"Le Fish" has no vested financial interest in Omate. I know this to be a fact.
He really is as you say: "just a 'random dev' helping a 'random company'", his only perk being that he was given a watch for development purposes.
And no, I am not part of this "conspiracy" lmao. I have an Omate because I was a KS backer and that is all.
While this has been entertaining, I think it's time to slow your roll on the accusations, because most of what you imply is not based on truth.
For the record - Lokifish Mars is NOT Laurent Le Pen. I know this to be a fact.
I'm going to leave this thread open because maybe some productive discussion may end up out of it. If that turns out a mistake, I will reverse this decision and shut it down.
Have a great day!
Thank you. I did not really feel the need to wade through the Omate employee/troll/fanboy/hater stupidity again. My shrink already gets enough money as it is. :good:
Thanks for not closing thread, maybe I have been hasty in accusations, however, I still stand by my posts, most of what I wrote is fact. No apologies to anyone offended or otherwise, seems arrogant yes, no, it isn't.
Those who have been taken for a ride like myself need to stand up and express their distaste in a less than, OK experience with the fore mentioned and aforementioned company.
Today I was finally replied to by, no not Omate, but Rocki, whom I contacted after nearly 60 days of no reply of 3 emails(politely)to Omate for a refund!
Rocki's reply was patronizing if not belittling to say the least, using ridiculous font size differences within one sentence that made it hard to read and seemed as though they weren't serious in their response. I have already started process for a charge-back from CC company, however I wanted to open this thread to warn others of these terrible business ethics in a hope no more ppl would be scammed!
Im embarrassed to have trolled up an XDA founder(I love fishing, seriously in real life I love it, I dont mean founder is a troll, nor do I mean I am trolling) I have said my piece and peace.
You got a reply about refunding your Omate TrueSmart kickstarter pledge...from Rocki ?
Was it from Cecelia by chance ? I have never been sure if she works or worked for Omate or Rocki or both.
Please share as much of the email's contents as you feel appropriate. I hope you either get your refund soon or your TrueSmart. If you get your watch, don't feed it after midnight !

Ok, just making sure I got this straight.
The original post is basically accusing a dev of being a CEO of a company in a form of a personal attack
The hidden message in that post is to watch out for the company
That message is in fact a horse that's been beaten to death in practically every avenue (Facebook, G+, Here on XDA, Omate Kickstarter, and in the Omate forums). So, in other words, the people being warned were curious enough to come to xda but ignore every other avenue of information regarding the watch, including other posts on XDA. Furthermore, instead of having a clear topic title like "WARNING blah blah", it's called "awesome watch"
Yet this is to warn...I think I'm missing something. Must be good drugs.
@ Homer: although I do understand you are frustrated with Omate, I hope you realized by now you were wrong in your accusations about Loki. I can say with certainty that you haven't been following these threads for the last 3+ months, otherwise you would have known Loki doesn't hide under his avatar, had his real name revealed on a few occasions, and I even remember he posted a picture of some smartwatch package he received with a full disclosure of his mailing address. I don't know where the original quote in your 1st post came from, but it sounds like PM exchange with some personal info (reference to Loki's paypal account) where you should have used a better judgment regarding what to reveal.
You want to voice your dissatisfaction with a company, this is a free forum and you have every right to share your opinion. But attacking one of the members who put so much work into this project and who has been nothing but a help to everyone in here - I insist that you DO owe him an apology. I don't care if you want to post it here or send him a PM, but do the right thing man. If you have beef with Omate, take it up with them, but a freelance developer and a father of newborn baby who spent so much of his time working on the device because he wants to help others, doesn't deserve this crap.
A blind man and his guide dog enter a bar and find their way to a barstool. After ordering a drink, and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yells to the bartender,
"Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke ?"
The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a husky, deep voice, the woman next to him says,
"Before you tell that joke, you should know something.The bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde, and I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb.blonde with a black belt in karate. What's more, the woman sitting next to me is blonde and she's a weight lifter. The lady to your right is a blonde, and she's a wrestler. Think about it seriously, Mister. You still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

If you have issues with Omate then I strongly recommend you contact not Omate but Rocki, they were instantly helpful and got the refund done in days.

So we have to find out your phone which is stolen?
The hell is this ?
Very sorry to hear this! Even I got my phone stolen some weeks ago. It was pickpocketed in crowd. I had all kind of docs, memories in that phone. I cried almost everyday for the first couple of week. Even imagining the moment I noticed my phone stolen gives me fearful goosebumps. Reading through your post makes me realize we are in the very same boat.
Well, following are the major actions I took after losing my phone in chronological order:
1. The night phone got stolen, went to cyber cafe to ask what things to do. They asked for phone receipt
2. The following day, went to police, did both eFIR and written FIR. You gotta ask them humbly and in cultural manner. Keep visiting them in a week or fortnight
3. Posted on socials about the incident
4. Went to ask for CCTV recording but they denied. Also, police said the thief won't be visible enough coz I was in crowd when theft happened
5. Bought new SIM of the phone number
6. Got IMEI blacklisted and on-track by police
7. Put flyers around the area
8. Became religious
9. Tried inacting the scenario at the same place in hope of catching thief but police took cautious measures after my stolen report so probably thief not gonna do that anymore in that locality
10. Asked family, friends, strangers, netizens about their losing-their-phone experience
You can try these.
If you're Indian, then we have a specialized website for stolen phone cases. Otherwise, you can internationally blacklist your IMEI through any trusted worldwide operating IMEI blocking website like this. I am not associated with this website in any manner.
Also, please inform any other potential action that you think can help both of us retrieve phone. I am open to DM. I expect an acknowledgment from you. I hope my post help you in any way possible.
