Hi everybody
I have 2 Touchpad's that have unfortunately died, there's no damage to them but they refuse to charge.
I've now bought a Samsung galaxy tab pro so they are are up for grabs.
I would prefer collection but am happy to post with a sae if necessary.
Basis all the support and advice I've received here I would like to give back to the community.
Also have a couple of touchstones that are only being used as stands for my samsung.
I'm not on line as much as I used to be (Health reasons) so please DON'T expect an immediate response.
I will obviously be looking at post count and number of thanks when requests are in.

My oldest daughter uses our TouchPad, and has for years. My son is old enough now to be jealous. I would love to have another touchpad. I'd be happy to see if I could get one or both of those working and set them up with KK so that my kids can be on equal footing. I'm not familiar with 'collection' or 'SAE', my wife deals with shopping and shipping a lot more than I do. Do you have any takers yet?

SAE stands for self addressed envelope, yes one the big contributers has also asked for one. I believe that shipping cost to the US /Canada are approximately £20 ($32).I'm happy giving them away and will probably chuck in a Touchstone with each but don't want to be out £40 ie 20 per.
I will check on the cost and report back .
Roland you definitely have one to play with, I can't believe that haven't got one bearing in mind all the tutorials you have done.
If you and Roland are OK with that I'll get it organised next week or when ever is convenient.
Please note that I can't guarantee that you are able to get it to charge. They haven't been dropped but just refused to charge. Hopefully if you can't get it working you can cover your costs by selling for part's.

Hey, I ran this idea by my wife, and while I thought it was a stellar idea, she didn't agree. I really appreciate the offer, so I won't be able to go through with it after all. Sorry
Hey buddy, i would be glad to take one of those off of your hands along with the touchstone, i live in Colorado, please pm me and I'll get you whatever you need to get it out to me, thanks!
I would like one please, I'm here in the UK west middle-lands which would make it easier for you.
Hi
If you still have one of these I would love to have a play with it. I am actually in Brighton so could collect from you as long as you are accessible by bus (I don't drive)
Have you left them on the charger for hours??? I had the issue a couple times where they wouldn't charge, but after leaving them on the charger for hours they finally came back to life. Also, does the little light flash across the home button when you put them on a charger?
I am also interested. Any chance either of the TouchPads are the white 64-gig devices?
I understand at this point I am last in line, so if other takers back out, please let me know. I can paypal you the money ASAP.
--McBean
I'll take one. I need it for parts.
@sstar Great thing you're doing, happy with my touchpads but would love a touchstone if you have one still. Contribution wise, my Touchpad Automated Installer has had 17500+ downloads so helped a fair few people!

Who preordered the Nexus 7 tablet??? i did anyone else??
Pre-ordered the 16gb shortly after it was available. Google said I wouldn't be charged until it was shipped. I was charged immediately. So I expect to get it in 2 days.
I ordered one.
I like my Kindle Fire but I wanted bluetooth and some other goodies that the kindle was missing.
I ordered one too. I have some long flights coming up in August and was thinking about getting something to play with, this came along at the right time to trigger an impluse buy. Hopefully, I won't regret it.
Yeah just pre-ordered as well - very excited about it
I also pre-ordered the 16 GB one. I offloaded my KF tonight on Craigslist. The one thing that surprised me was the final cost with tax and shipping was $282. A bit steep but should be worth it! I wish Google would have done free shipping for pre-orders. I was already charged too which surprised me.
i also pre-ordered the 16gb one.. cant wait!
Ordered the 16GB one. Cost is £208.99 including shipping.
Well worth it!
I've been waiting for a "nexus" tablet for at least a year, the minute it became available I ordered the 16gb.. at $259 (cdn) it was a no-brainer.. Up until a few weeks ago I was prepared to spend $400-700 for one, super excited!
charged the CC imediately??

I saw a couple people post that they were charged immediately. Im looking for some clarification I know usually this isnt how it should work and as you said should be charged upon shipping. Many times they will charge a dollar or just check to make sure there are funds in the account but dont actually put a charge through, can you verify that the funds were removed from your account. Also, does anyone know what the deal is with the nexus 7 appearing to run some version of the phone OS and not the Tablet OS interface, should i be put off by this or is it something that can be changed easily enough. Thanks

The funds have been deducted from my account although it is still pending. It usually takes 3 days for a pending charge to go through and I don't doubt it will. I have 2 other unrelated charges made the same day that are the same status. I assume its because I used a debit card. I've seen many others in the same situation.
Yeah it looks like a phone OS. I'm used to that running CM7 on my Nook Color. By the time it ships it may be different. It really doesn't bother me either way.

Interesting, thank you. My only real experience is with the HP touchpad running CM9 and that has the tablet UI which i do prefer a bit over the phone UI, i wander if this is something that can be "tweaked".

With it in the hands of so many devs already I would say probably.
I ordered mine last night!
Dont mind paying the shiiping as I have read there is virtually no markup on device..
Cant wait to get it. I didnt pay attention to if it hit my account now or later and dont really care as long as i get it mid july as stated on their site... But, I wont cry if it comes earlier!
I hope so

Ha, i believe you are indeed correct, but as both a noob to the site and really to the android experience over all I'd rather ask first, than to appear a fool and pretend to know something i dont. Interestingly enough, the Dev. version from the conference is actually a unit with a white rubber back, not gray, it looks fairly nice as well, honestly looks like a golf ball.
I found a source for Flyer batteries. They emailed me today to tell me they are now ready to ship.
Depending on the numbers of interested parties and cost of shipping from the supplier to myself in the UK and then from me to you will denote the final price of the battery. The cost will be different for everyone depending on where you live.
If anyone is interested let me know so i have an idea of numbers. I'm bringing in 10 minimum anyway but if i need more there's no problem to get some more.

I'm talking about the internal battery for the HTC Flyer. If you don;t know what i'm talking about you probably don't need one.
10 Batteries Ordered )
Hi all,
I've just ordered 10 batteries (4000mAh @ 3.7v) and have a pigtail with connector on the end identical to the original battery), and they should be here in a couple of weeks. I'm keeping 2 for myself and letting the other 8 go. If you're interested please let me know otherwise they will be going on eBay in due course at full price.
I'm selling these at the discounted price of £25 per battery + postage to wherever you are in the world. Payment in GBP (Sterling) and you pay the transaction fee.
They'll be going on eBay if there are no takers here and they will be selling at £34.99 with a set of tools to crack open your Flyer.
As soon as they are here i'll post.
In the meantime if anyone wants one please let me know as it's first come first serve.
The reason i've bought them is because i refused to pay HTC UK £60 just to open my Flyer and look at it, and another £60 to replace the battery. That's a rip off if ever there was one. Doing it myself it cost me just the price i've paid for the battery. Job done!!
Cheers,
Francis

It's very easy to do. Just a little bit fiddly but very easy to do. I opened mine the other day with a cheap pack of tools i got off eBay and i was surprised at just how straightforward it was. There's a couple of screws and some very gentle prising of the case and it comes away no problem.
There are 2 or 3 ribbon cables to undo and that's about it.

Have a look for yourself, lots of close up pictures.
Do you still have the batteries?
I'm still waiting for them to be delivered, nothing has arrived yet. As soon as they arrive i'll post and let everyone know.

Unhelpful............
Great Link!!
I could have done with that months ago before i decided to buy these batteries. Perhaps though you should have stuck it it on your own thread!!
OK folks, I'll be putting my batteries up on eBay if you want one.

Prey that if ever you're selling something on this forum i don't come along and post alternatives on the same thread...Just to be helpful to members of course I'll be watching your threads/postings with interest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of batteries.....They arrived just now. Didn't take long but then they were DHL'd.
I only ordered 10 just to get a little bit of discount off them and even at that they are still much cheaper than getting them from HTC who won't sell you one anyway. And bar that rednck link i've never seen any for sale anywhere and i looked for a long time.
If i'd ordered 50 they might be a heck of a lot cheaper but £25 is cost and as cheap as i could sell them on here without losing out.
If you want one from me though it will be via eBay now.
Cheers
R they original HTC ones or copies?
The only place you're ever going to get an original (OEM) factory HTC battery is from HTC themselves and they don't sell them without HTC fitting them. At £120 for the pleasure....no thanks!!
Every other battery on the market regardless of what logo they they have printed on them or where they were manufactured will be generic. My batteries don't even say HTC on them so they can't be called copies or fakes unlike the one on your link that says HTC.
My batteries are manufactured by a well known LiPo battery manufacturer in China and they are extremely good quality. I fitted one the following day after they arrived, took less than 15 mins.
Currently my Flyer has been on since 7am and it's now nearly 6pm, I have made several calls today, used wifi and mobile network both on youtube and internet for about 20mins, made some notes, and been on standby the rest of the time.....currently telling me 91%.
It should improve a little bit more with a couple more battery calibrations over the next week or so. It will last all day long and then some now and is working as well as my original HTC battery ever did when that was new.
I don't need an original HTC battery...thanks

If you were selling a car, or some bits you had at home, or whatever you were selling, and somebody comes along and posts links to stuff being advertised elsewhere you wouldn't be too pleased would you?
This is your sale, not someone else's!! They have no business whatsoever screwing up your sale with their unhelpful link posting. They should be posting their own helpful stuff on their own thread if that's what they want to do.
That's just plain out of order and shows either mal intent on their part or, if they genuinely believed they were doing nothing wrong they are clearly to stupid to realise what they've done which is just as bad!!
It doesn't even matter if the stuff was the same price as yours, your sale/s is/are lost or will be passed by!!
Final chance to buy a battery!!
I've got 3 batteries left (with no tools) which i will offer on here for £25 + postage and you pay the PayPal transaction fee. I cannot sell them any cheaper than that otherwise they will be costing me to sell to you.
When they are gone they are gone, and unless there is more demand than i have batteries for i won't be buying any more after this.
Final chance to get one of these and you don't have long. PM me if you're interested and we'll take it from there!!

Ok since u moan so much - lets see...
1 British pound = 1.5673 U.S. dollars
25 X 1.5673 = 39,2
So battery costs 40$ + postage + transaction fee = as posted DISCOUNTED! LOL That easlly can be ower 60$
If u add that together u get 2 batteries from link i provided and since i am slow in mine head i onlly now see why is it unhelpfull. I dont know how much u payed for batteries since they can be golden as well. I simply provided a link so ppl can see how much they go for and obviuslly they go for half a price but might not be golden like yours.
So if ppl cant aford 50$+ batteries they stil might get one for 29$ (including shiping and transaction fee secured by paypal and 30 days money back waranty). Dont forget i am geting a huge provision for advertising.
Oh and enjoy monitoring mine sales for rip offs. Be welcome and post with helpfull links where ppl can see their options. U trying to make me look bad for providing a good reference wheil u charging DISCOUNTED price for batteries for rate of X2? Jezus

Your arrogance is noted Redneck and you're wasting your breath. Now you are showing mal intent and that's just fine. You're showing yourself up to being a persistent **** as well and that's OK too. You carry on!!
If you're so smart why don't you go out, buy yourself some Flyer batteries and offer XDA members a good deal instead of critiquing my offering at cost? Put your money where your mouth is instead of trying to piss me off for doing exactly that.
I didn't have to offer these batteries to xda members but i did, and i could have put them all on eBay but i didn't. Ultimately you won't do the same as me because you've got all the answers and no action, in fact you're full of ****, but i forgive you!!
Trust me when i say you'll get very little discount for buying 10 batteries from China. 50 batteries yes, but 10 very little. There's also the small matter of getting the batteries into the UK, then there is the cost of Custom and Excise charges on top when the batteries get here, and VAT on top of that again, but of course you already knew that didn't you?. Get your facts right!!
And let me tell you something else....£25 in the UK is nothing!! They are as cheap as you will get here!!! If you can get them cheaper elsewhere good for you, and If you do want super cheap batteries please get one from your own link otherwise if you're not wanting a battery from me go and bother someone that gives a toss!!

Will this work with cases that we have already? For example, it just replaces the existed door, right? Doesn't add any more thickness so we can't use the existing cases we have? Thanks in advance. I'm asking because I read the reviews on the BestBuy site and two of them say that it does add bulk slightly. Just don't want to buy this thing and then find out it's a matter of using this and not being able to use my existing case with it.

Not 100% as I don't have one yet, but I think it might add some additional thickness. So my guess is you will need new case. Maybe someone who purchased already can answer this better than me.

There's one listed on 23rd street and 6th ave here in the City. I was going to go and buy it in person and try it with the tough case I bought a week or so ago already on the phone. Figure I can always return it if they don't have a restocking fee.
Will post more information tomorrow once I check it out.
Thanks for the information, regardless. Much appreciated.

It does add some thickness. Not so much that you will notice it in your hand, but enough that most fitted hard cases will not fit properly. This is a discussion worth reviewing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609406
I went to the BestBuy in 44th and 5th in the City. They're clueless. Two guys with "Samsung Experience Specialists" jerseys or jackets or whatever those zip up things are, the guy kept trying to sell me something COMPLETELY unrelated to what I wanted. Finally I asked him if he had the Qi-compatible charging stand and he said no. Said he only gets "about 2 in a week". I gave up and walked out.

FWIW, I live very close to Best Buy's HQ here in MN. I know a lot of good people employed by them. With BB being a hometown store here I am rarely more than 7 or 8 minutes from a store location wherever I travel in town... That said: I drive past all of them in favor of any competitor, even if I have to go further and/or spend a little more. I do not feel they practice good business ethics as a company, and I do my best boycott them. I do some consulting work, and on occasion am forced to buy a computer component from them. I have had to do this 7 times in the last 10 years, and 5 of those times ended up with a sales person who either lied, or was completely clueless sharing bogus information as fact - in spite of their being the in-store "expert". Good luck to all who shop there, but please don't count on their staff to help educate you on making a sound purchase.
I have not been here lately since I bought a Note 4 and gave my Note 3 to a family member.
Before I gave it away I ordered an extra battery and a cradle charger. They have arrived and have been sitting there.
If you need them, they are yours.
I have given things away before and I do not ask for anything in return. I do not do it for "thanks" or popularity.
Fact is God has blessed my family this week and laid it on my heart to do this again.
Anyway, the battery is OEM and the cradle is 3rd party. I have never used them.
The only thing I ask is you pay it forward one day.
PM me or reply here. Please don't take advantage it you really don't need or plan on selling.
Edit: l can not promise super fast delivery because I am not allowed to drive due to seizures so it depends on schedules and getting a ride
I will take them off your hands if no one else has PM'd you before me. Thanks!

Ok. I have waited for awhile for takers and you got it.
PM me where you want them sent, use po box if you think I'm gonna pull something on ya, and i will try and get them out this week. I will notify you when I ship them.
Please let me know when you receive them and that they are working well.
Any questions or whatever pm me and I will answer.
Thank you to those who sent messages. Meant a lot.
ok,think you.
Figured I would start this early. Please post why you deserve an invite so those that have may share with you. Per forum rules please no exchanging of money or goods just sharing out of the kindness of your heart.
I deserve an invite because ...
I started this thread
Invites are needed again?
Sent from my LG-H815
I genuinely want this phone and hope someone is kind enough to throw me an invite!! Paying it forward is an awesome (and rare) thing to do these days.
I have gone mad by using HOX+ and his 3 hours SOT battery and now I am looking for something new but cheaper. I wanted to buy Oneplus One but thetn I read that Oneplus Two is coming. I would be very happy if someone is good enough to share invite with me.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I deserve it because.....
I'm really cute
And I'm giving up on htc One X and htc one m8. They are great phones...but I want more!
Please, share the invite with me too....
Thank you in advance! - And now you are cutie too :good::fingers-crossed:
*sigh*
this again... I would like an invite but even more I'd like the ability to just order the phone... without this invite game. No one liked it the first time (well no one without invites) so why repeat it? I have to earn the right (lotto or sweepstakes style) to pay full price for a phone... really? Only thing that will help is if they have a crazy number of invites. I would actually prefer them wait until they have enough stock before selling the phone and just have a normal preorder then regular order system.... even if that means it wont come out for another 6 months.... think I'm crazy? You probably wont even earn an invite until then anyways.... I wasted so much time trying to get an invite for the oneplus one that eventually I lost interest all together.
If this phone is priced the same as others ($600-700) I think sales will suffer due to this invite system and there wont be a one plus 3. I hope I'm wrong... but doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insane... Oneplus one launch was NOT a success but a failure... so repeating that is a bad idea (the metric to judge this is it was a desired phone by by the time everyone could get an invite they were so pissed that they didn't want it even when they had invites... I couldn't give my invites away). I'm hoping this time they will be more prepared and send out 200,000 invites a day at LEAST.
Sorry had to be said

From a buyer point of a view the invite system is as annoying as it can be, but from their POV it was a success.
They did not antecipate or have the resources to meet the demand without cutting it with the invites.
They also do not spend money on marketing so the invite system is free publicity, hey arent we doing it right now?
Im looking for a replacement for my N5 so maybe the OPT might be it, we'll see when the specs are out.
I'd like an invite because I'm curious about Oneplus phones. While I won't just go get the One because the 2 is right around the corner, I'd like to give it a try. I've been forever stuck on brand name phones, changing phones out every year, I'd like a phone that has a great price point.

I think the price was what made them successful not the invite system. The big thing that hit the media was a top of the line phone with midrange price. The invite system brought frustration and the same media outlets that praised them at first turned against them. Now their name is out and they do not need to play with invites... Bringing that back would be a mistake. Maybe as a pre-release - get your hands on the device before launch thing but other than that I see it as a bad idea. If they just release normal they will probably win the market. If they keep playing games it will be their down fall. Yes, I agree from their POV they may think it was a success but it brought frustration. I do know they did not have a choice but this year they do, if they anticipate high demand put off the launch until they can fill most orders within the first or second month. If people know a decent ETA of when they can have the phone in their hand it will restore faith in their buyers. Problem solved. ☺

My OPO was just stolen yesterday, have had to go back to using my old S2..
Cant wait for the OP-2.. but of course wait for the dreaded invite.. hope to get one in the first batch
Australia shipping maybe?
An invite and local Australian shipping would be great. Don't like having to give other people money just to get phone into Australia when they could just list it as an option.
I deserve an invite because my dad is still using a laggy Nokia c7.
I'm looking forward to getting one too! If someone ever got one, I'm already in the line ahah
Give me an invite, or don't, doesn't really matter to me. It would just be nice to have a phone that isn't locked down tighter than Guantanamo (current Verizon S5 user).
I would love an invite as I'm currently running an HTC One M7 with the horrid pink/purple camera issue. I don't have a spare phone and use it for work so I couldn't deal with sending it in for warranty repairs, and I'm waiting until August before my contract is up with AT&T to get a new phone without paying full price. Either way, all of the current options this time around just don't entice me, but being able to get a flagship-level phone out of contract for (assuming) not $600+ would be great.
As an upcoming university student this fall, budgets and money is very slim for me. It sucks because my hobby and passion of having the best devices is very expensive. I love my Nexus 4 because it provides great experience and was very affordable, and the One Plus Two will continue that for me. Would LOVE an invite Thank you !
hi, I would like to receive an invite because I'm fed up with these brads that are selling in my country. you could only buy samsung, HTC, LG, Apple,... no other brads. Can you please send me an invite?
thank you.
I have an iPhone 5 and want to give a chance to the android system.
