Mustangs A-10 $19 Phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm looking to see if anyone is planning to do development on the $9/$19 Mustangscorp phones that are being shipped in December? If any developers are interested, they are selling the high end model (A-10) for $19 until they have 6000 pre-orders. The phone is pretty impressive for the price. Its got a Snapdragon 615 1.8GHz Octa-Core and 4GB RAM so it should be a pretty quick device.
Give it a look and weigh in! I'm hoping there will be some interest.

I'm wondering the same thing I just pre-ordered 2 A-10s and 2 E-1s. Does anyone know anything about this company? When were these phones first put up for pre-order? Thanks in advance for the help.

They're waiting for that perfect moment to strike at you. You should read their refund policy, it said something like they won`t refund you if their "company close down", got hit by a natural disaster or a terrorist attack. (theyre not responsible for refunding). I refunded mine, cause a few days ago their server went down and I thought I`ve lost everything and I got scammed, luckily it was done through paypal and I got my refund. You should get your refund if you purchase from that website, nothing comes with a cheap price with good quality. If you google their CEO and other staff members you`ll see nothing. GOOD LUCK its your choice your money.

Bump this up. Finally found this thread, been looking for some sign that im not the only one who was looking at these lol.
I had a couple ordered and i got an email this morning from this company saying my paypal payment was on hold so they canceled and returned my money. The money did in fact come back to my Paypal but I'm a little uncertain whether i should try to order again or whats up. The website is pretty sketchy tbh but i took a shot on pre ordering a few weeks ago
If anyone else has pre ordered can you chime in

somethings up here
yeah i did as well.
Ordered an A-10 and it mysteriously got canceled this morning. Cash got refunded too. Went to go re order and now all the phones are set to $0 so something is definitely going on. No real answers from the customer service either via email. Don't bother using their phone numbers listed. The first one is a bogus text me number and the second went to another company's receptionist that was all too well aware of the random people looking for some clarity on their budget phones.
I'm thinking scam or some type of shell corp. Who knows.

Same thing happened to me as the others above. Received an email about my Paypal payment being on hold and that they tried to contact me about it. Checked Paypal and saw I was refunded for my purchases. Not sure what is going on, it does sound a little fishy.

Glad I'm not the only one. Fishy for sure. Kinda upset lol, was looking forward to testing this new cheapo phone out

In the beginning of Nov, the company switched payment to something else (no longer accepting Paypal). Now, their facebook page is gone. Geez. I can't believe how far people can do to scam $$.

Seems like a scammer website now their website is down as well? WTF man.

Need Advice-Have a chance to buy a Prime

I possibly, have a chance to buy a Prime tomorrow. It's very possible someone else might buy it before me because I won't have the $ until later morning. Got emailed the pics of it. The seller says to email him when I get the cash.
Of course, I hope that the seller waits for me or that no one gets it before I do. I am concerned about Wifi and I can't return it if it was defective! I would turn it on and test it thoroughly before giving cash.
I doubt that I will get it before another quicker buyer but, Would you girls and guys go for it?
Edit GOT IT!!!
I just downloaded the new software update thingy. Interestingly, Wifi seems to have improved BUT, I will test it some more. Looks good though.
Also, I have a crap cellphone the Samsung intercept, so the videowas atrocious but hopefully, I can upload it from this Prime. The pics are low quality too but will post later!
Gorgeous, super tablet I must say. Very fast. Im sad that my Prime is missing the S hadowgun and Bladeslinger demos! Andy , could go u upload them or where can I get them. The price of getting it early lol! Riptide is amazing!! The water effects!!!! Wow!
Very happy I got it, definitely worth, even with th e wifi issue. Sorry not used to typing on my Prime obviously lol!
I am sorry that I had my private messages off, if anyone wants to PM me, by all means do so. Pics later!

Ya do it. I doubt they actually changed anything in their production to "fix" the wifi "issue". No warranty does suck though... But hell, who knows how long some of us might have to wait for this thing, I'd jump on it if I had the chance!

I'd make sure you get the original receipt for it so if it needs to be exchanged or needs warranty work you're covered. Other than that, assuming you're OK with what you'll be paying for it, go for it.
P.S. - Do the exchange in a restaurant and get there first. Meeting strangers that know you'll have cash with you is something to be wary of.
Do you know where this person got their Prime from? Is it covered by warranty?
If it is not under warranty then I don't think it is worth it cause if it is defective or it becomes defective then you are screwed.
The seller says he obtained it from through a promotion last week at a technology media event in New York. Lucky man.
It's not from a store, so no receipt. I will ask if he has a paper with it. It's a USA Prime, so warranty by Asus

Good advice because I'm going long distance to a big city. I definitely am meeting in a public restaurant IF I even get the thing
Just my 2¢ on the issue: Don't worry about the warranty. Since it's a brand new product, you don't have to prove when you bought it. I sent in my Transformer multiple times to ASUS directly for service, and they never questioned when/where I purchased it...
There are others who will disagree, and of course, everyone's entitled to my opinions
If it was me...
I would only buy it if the box is still sealed. That's just me though, for my own peace of mind. Goodluck and keep us posted.

My point exactly, since you are getting the device right after it's released (before its released actually), so even if they count it to the day it was released you'd still get 1 full year of warranty.
I personally would not do it. It's just like people who charge close to retail for their used Ipads. If I'm paying close to retail, I may as just well purchase it for the retail price so I can have the peace of mind of going back to the store if anything goes wrong. Don't forget that since it's the holidays, most stores have extended return periods. Also, I know we all are eager to get the new prime but 1 or 2 months from now, if you are having problems with the unit, you have to ask yourself was it worth it to buy it a week early or would it have been better to wait a week and have your own receipt and the ability to return it to the store if you needed to.

You could also buy one at a B&M reseller once they're more widely available and return it. Keep the original receipt and return it with a photocopy or do it at BB where they can track the transaction by CC number and you don't need a receipt for returns. Use that to send in should it need repair. And for those with a higher moral standard then mine, it's bending the rules not breaking them.

Good point. I know Costco doesn't. GameStop's not too sophisticated so they may not. I'm not sure about Target and Walmart. BB probably does.
I guess nobody else is curious or maybe they are just classier than me but how much ya payin for it? Good luck too by the way.
He's asking $600 for the 32GB Amethyst Grey. I know it's $100 over retail. Would I be totally stupid? My pre-order was cancelled by Amazon and don't see how I will get one this month if another buyer gets to the overpriced promo Prime first, but who knows.

Honestly, I would pay that right now. After tax and shipping that's what it would cost anyway. My preorder at GS was $544. Go for it. Even if you can handle yourself, take somebody with you for added security anyway. I don't know what it's like in NJ but I'm in Texas and I think I would have a heater in the truck.
I wouldn't do it especially for that price unless you absolutely need to have it now. Then again, I know how it feels to want something so bad that you are willing to pay over MSRP for it. You have to ask yourself, is it worth it to pay a $100 markup on something that may be on shelves in a week. Even if it's released next month, you have to ask yourself if it is worth it to pay more for something that you can't freely return in any store since he isn't giving you a receipt. If you have the money and you need it that bad, then pull the trigger. This thread reminds me of when I paid $750 for the Nokia n95 before it hit stateside. Never again my friend, never again.
Just to reiterate it's not really a $100 markup if you have to pay tax and have it shipped. $544 with tax in Tejas. Add shipping and its much closer to 6 hundo. Plus, waiting an extra month or two is not worth saving $50 - $100; to me anyway.
I would pay for it because at gamestop with overnight shipping charges, mine comes out to $554, but thats just me.
He would get much more on eBay for it. Grab the chance while you have it.

Hrmm... I'm starting to doubt whether expansys will fulfill all these preorders. I pre-ordered mine 5 days ago and I'm sure it was up before that as well. It seems that they are the only site taking pre-orders so they must be getting a ton of requests. I don't think they are a big partner with Asus so they can't be getting enough shipments to fulfill these orders. (not unless you're willing to wait till January)
And, they are still taking pre-orders!
Math doesn't seem right. (especially when sites like Amazon and Newegg sold out so quickly)
Plus, I'm sure a lot more people are ordering just to take advantage of the discounts.
Something seems off...

Yea seems a little off, however, during the HP touchpad firesale they pulled through. They oversold but fulfilled orders. Im hoping they learned from that fiasco and wont oversell stock they dont have. I never heard of expansys till recently, so maybe people in the US dont shop much there.
I checked my order status and its still not updated. Crossing my fingers...

They still cut off a lot of orders with the TouchPad(I remember getting the email but I was one of the few that made it though).
And with HP, it's their product. They started up production again to fulfill some extra orders. (can't do that here)
Oh well... nothing more can be done... It's a bit sad because the original transformer also had stocking issues. I thought Asus and the retailers would've coordinated a bit better this time but it doesn't seem that way. They can't really say that they didn't expect the demand when they experienced the same rush last time. I'm still not even sure when the "actual" release date is!

Best Buy TP Exchange Experience...

Got my TP yesterday from Best Buy, and unfortunately it had few issues, biggest being that the left side was separating (you could see the glass move and could hear a click when squeezing it....) Needless to say I was not going to keep it, so I figured I will give a local Best Buy a try to see if I can exchange it...
I walked up to the Customer Service desk and explained the problem. They said no problem, just go to the computer area and get another one, and they will do an exchange. Went back there, and asked for a Transformer Prime. Got a blank stare, then was told that they are not out yet. I proceeded to explain that I already have one and I'm just exchanging it. Another blank stare, then I was assured that what I must have is the Transformer. I finally got tired of this and asked one of the reps to go back to Customer Service with me.
Upon looking at the box, he looked up the SKU and not finding it in the system, he told me that there is nothing they can do, since it's not in their system and he has no idea how I was able to order one. I politely explained that I have the packing slip from BB.com, order receipt, emails from BB, etc. I had two other people look at it, try to pull up the SKU, then telling me the same thing. It was time to talk to somebody that might have a slightest clue, so I asked for a manager. To make a long story short, after a 25 minute discussion where I was basically accused of "doing something funny", he called somebody else on the phone, and after a short conversation told me that he will "issue me a refund, but this is just not right."
I stayed calm and got the refund, then politely explained to the guy that I can't believe how they can treat a customer in this manner. I don't remember the last time being treated remotely like this, and I will certainly let the corporate office know. He could obviously care less...
Anyway, just wanted to vent. Best Buy lost a VERY good customer, as after this whole TP fiasco I'm just done with them. It's a shame that such a large retailer has so little clue about customer service and competency...
Well the TP is not currently sold in stores yet, its an online only product. I can see why there were confused, but they should've know that though.
Dang! I hope my luck is better. I have a Grey 64GB with dock on pre-order from B&H. It's amazing how lame and helpless these sales people can be. They are slaves to the Point-Of-Sale terminal with no imagination or obvious access to resources.
The correct response would be to accept what you said as true, apologize and issue the refund since they have no units in the store to give you.
Bye.
Hmm, who would've guessed Paul Christoforo would get a job at Best Buy so quickly.

Well obviously since his tablet was only purchasable on wwebsite as on the internet, they couldn't find it.
Mine comes in tomorrow from Best Buy. I hope I don't have any issues that I have to do go through them. Maybe I'll just contact my ASUS rep straight up if I have a problem.

True. Or he could have sold them all on ebay for $150 so there were none left.
Asus packaging really sucks(only booklets is well protected), and BB mailed it in plastic envelope..No wonder there are a lot of problems....
Sorry to hear about the lousy experience. After working in retail, I can deffinently tell you not to threaten with "going to corporate". Just as you said they probably aren't going to care.
Much better to tell the manager on site that you want their District/Regional managers name and phone number. Call the number on the spot if it's during normal daytime hours. This will get you much better results.
District/Regional managers are the normal top dog of the store area, and if you can relay your distress to them in your treatment/experience, results will quickly follow. The store themselves aren't scared of a veiled threat to someone they never directly interact with ("corporate"). But get in touch with their direct boss (the region/district), and that'll put some fear in them...
That doesn't surprise me one bit. Best Buy customer service and return policy is one of the worst I've ever seen.
Now that the competitors (Circuit City, Silo) are gone some long gone Best Buy brick and mortars feel that they can do whatever they want. "Like where else are you going to go?"
but part of this blame also needs to be shared by ASUS for half-ass launching of their product. You don't launch a product to minimum stores unless you want your product to flop.
strange ASUS never revealed the amount of Primes they shipped to US for launch. My guess is under 3,000 units at best.
I was in BB last week, doing other shopping and for the heck of it, asked if they had the dock in yet (they didn't). But all of the BB guys were insisting that the TF Prime was not even out yet and that it had been delayed until Jan. I was like "Of course it's out, I have one!!". Lol... :/

The Best Buy clerks at the retailer in my area knew that they were out but had no idea of when they would be in, they checked their internet computers and only saw what most online-shoppers saw the "Coming Soon" message.
Can someone explain to me again why BB stopped their TFP online ordering nearly 2-weeks before Christmas and put-up a "Coming Soon" banner? Do they not realize how many customers they lost in what I can only see as a dumb move. I mean even if you didn't have any TFP in-stock, you could have at least kept it set up as a pre-order to collect potential buyers, but leaving it as a Coming Soon did no good for anyone, not even their own brick and mortar retailers who also used BB.com.

With the ridiculous amount of issues that it turns out they've had with preorders, stopping them was ultimately the right move.

It is just truly amazing that a retailer the size of Best Buy can have basic issues like this and how unresponsive they are to fix those issues. I think the mentality here is - it is not effecting enough people, so let's just not talk about it.

Newegg: Evo View 4G $249

In case anyone's still interested in purchasing:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0EJ-0009-00001
Amazing that there have been so many deals for the View. Is HTC trying to kill off its stock? I absolutely love mine. The only thing I'd ask is for it to be slightly lighter, but aside from that, the hardware is absolutely perfect for me.
I was gonna buy it, but after looking at the reviews of the marketplace seller I just cant do it.
Seems like even the 5 star reviews were saying the seller was horrible.

Probably the majority of the users here with the View purchased theirs through through that seller - 1SaleADay. Most of us got it directly from the 1SaleADay website when they had it for sale there more than once. Yes, they're very slow and may not respond to questions, but it's because their products are dropped shipped. While it's no excuse for poor customer service, the fact is that they are merely a middle man selling the product. They don't actually have the product in stock at their own warehouses. It's wholly dependent on the company with the stock to get things shipped out. Again, it's no excuse, but it helps to provide a better understanding of what kind of company they are, along with how they're able to offer things cheaper than many other companies.
That said, everyone received their Views ordered through 1SaleADay in new, as-described condition (with the few exceptions that there always are when anything is shipped from any company). Purchasing through New Egg provides an added layer of protection for the buyer that none of us who purchased directly from 1SaleADay had. So if you really want one, I wouldn't let the seller put you off from buying it in this case. Generally I wouldn't say that for marketplace sellers (feedback is a great way to know who to buy from and who not to buy from), but in this case, it's a little different. It's a good price for a great device.

What is dropped shipped? I haven't heard that term before.
I got mine from eBay before Christmas from that one seller that sold 2000 in one day and then 3000 in one day the week after (bidallies I believe). No soft packing material, just cardboard, but mine arrived without a scratch. I'd say dealing with Newegg is the absolute best place to buy it, since you get their guarantee. It clearly says there is a 1 year warranty too, so that helps.

The all-knowing Wikipedia explains it better than I can:
"Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer."
So, the seller doesn't have the actual items, they ship from somewhere else, and the seller has little information on the items beyond what the manufacturer or wholesaler gives them. It definitely makes good customer service more difficult. It's not an excuse for the complete lack of customer service that 1SaleADay has however.
With the View, which ships from the U.S., this isn't so much of a problem. Pretty much everyone received their orders in a week to a week and a half. Where most of 1SaleADay's negative feedback comes from is much of the other stuff they sell, which is actually held and shipped from somewhere overseas (often China). Many of the items are sub-par, they break easily (often in transit), and it takes far too long for them to arrive. Before ordering my View, I had made two previous purchases through their site. The items arrived as described, and they worked just fine, but it took over three weeks for them to arrive. In addition to this, given the nature of how they do business, it's next to impossible to return anything through 1SaleADay or receive a refund. So, people buy cheap junk from them, it takes a month to arrive from somewhere overseas, and then when it doesn't work or breaks quickly, they're unable to get a refund or replacement, and in turn leave negative feedback (which is understandable). But sometimes, they do sell some good stuff, like the View. And I'd feel even more comfortable purchasing through New Egg because they have other customer protection measures in place.
Well I ended up buying the evo from newegg.
Im in no rush for it anyways. See how it goes
I ordered mine from 1saleaday and received it within 5 days of the order.

Trying to sell my Note on eBay

Hello everyone!
I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S4 last week. It's pretty awesome. But that's not why I'm here.
I've been trying to sell my Note on eBay. I've listed it two different times. Once was with a Buy It Now and it was bought within a minute of me listing it. Guy never paid. It was a scam. So, I blocked him. Next time I listed it I did an auction style. At the last minute someone with a feedback score of 100%, but only 3 feedbacks bid a high amount. Now that person isn't contacting me and has not paid.
Just curious if anyone else has experienced anything like this?
So is this an eBay question, or you trying to sell your device?
Either way I think you're in the wrong forum.

I am trying to sell my device, but not on here. Wasn't sure where to post this, so I picked here.
This is what you get with ebay. If they find something better/cheaper, they can flake out.
I am not surprised and you shouldn't be either. Try posting on local classified or Craigslist, and sell it face-to-face.

Craigslist has more flakers than eBay does. At least with eBay you have some protection. On Craigslist you have to meet up with the person which can be more of a hassle if the person does not show up or tries to rob you. You can end up selling it for more on Craigslist but there are more risks involved.
To the OP, I would repost it on eBay and file a complaint against the people that flaked on the auction. I've sold lots of things on eBay and I've also had people bail on me when they won the auction. It happens so don't feel that it is the norm. You just got flaked on twice.
If I were you, I'd repost it on eBay and put it on Craigslist. Just make sure you do not post your phone number or email address on Craigslist. Have the person that is interested in your phone leave you their phone number so that you could call them. Also, make sure you meet up at a public place such as a mall or store. I don't recommend meeting at your house or theirs. Good luck.
If your phone works, go hit up swappa, they charge $15 to sell it, but it's as secure as you get. I've bought my prime there and it was quick smooth and easy.
I buy and sell a lot on ebay, with 100% positives.
if you take GOOD pics of your Note, explain the condition accurately, and make it a nice looking listing, with a responsible start price [say 190 for instance] and you have 98 to 100% feedback rating, you'll get it done. ship it flat rate padded envelope so no one is confused about what shipping is.
for whatever reason [supply, probably] the i717 does not bring quite as much as the t-mo version, all other things considered.
both great handsets imo.
