Arigato gozaimasu!
I'll be in an industrial district/town called LongGang, about one-hour drive from LoHu (the train station on the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border). Will the market be anywhere near there?

from Luo hu, 10 to 15 minitues by Taxi, called "Fu Tian Distric."
Many Building and thaousands of shopes selling parts,

Oh... Fu Tian. I've heard of that place before.
Have you managed to install the new housing? Was it difficult? I heard it is not an easy job.

Seems like someone's going to make lots of money... NOT! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-O2-E...itemZ9733399786QQcategoryZ15039QQcmdZViewItem
That price is way too steep... I won't be surprised if he hasn't managed to sell any yet.

tyo change housing, not so easy but can do,,,,,
take time and carfully.
Someboday selling....
becouse my prices are domestic wholesaler prices.. so you can feel
reasonable or cheap/
but once they are in shops in HK,, it will be W-or Triple prices.
I ts no way....
so we must share the information to get cheap one,,,
even me in china ...
i bought some battries for my friends,, at the beggning price was RMB220/pc,
other day i found 150RMB, one more other day,,
found 125RMB/pc
china is the place like this....
work around,,or wallets will be lighter and lighter!
i am still working around to find better!

It's the same in Hong Kong: I once found a shop selling extended batteries for the Dell Axim X50v for $280, but after a 10-minute journey I found another shop selling the same batteries for HK$240. Things tend to be cheaper on weekdays in the market place as well.

Do they sell complete body-sets (with keyboard panel and so on), including instructions ?
I have a T-Mobile one, but would kill for an unbranded cover (especially a black one )

now we can found,,
1;Boday and keyboard pannel
2; 3 x parts of Hindge,,,(but some times no in market
4:LCD housing
but,,, the parts are not equal conditions.
*some Housing missing small swithes,,slider siwitches,
also difficult to find Action Buttons curently
*screw nuts which should be inlaid boday are missing,,
some of them have it,
go and vist several shops, then you can compliete
*small ruber parts such like on the bottom, are not available yet,,
but some of parts can be used from your current device.
Manual is on Dvelopers.com FTP,

Sorry for being geeky but have you seen any HTC-branded housings? It'd be pretty cool to have one.

How much should a Blue Angel / PDA 2k go for?

Hello,
I was wondering how much a Blue Angel / PDA 2k / Qtek 9090 should cost.. both new and used?

brand new unlocked never used would be 200 MAX.. i mean it should be like 100 considering u can get a wizard for like 200 brand new ..used probli 75$ unlocked mint cond.

Really? That sounds like a really good price, considering it can run WM5 from what I see here on the board.
Anyone willing to sell theirs if its in good condition???

Ive got one with a lot of access. You will need to get a new digitizer..I am also listing on Ebay ---link:--Copy and paste- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MESE:IT&viewitem=&item=280126190402&rd=1&rd=1

Well about $100 for either a absolute mint condition one with a few extras or a brand new one so they are very well priced.

what is my sx66 worth?

I have been trying with no luck to sell my BA SX66 for $85.00. Is that too much? I am running latest radio and WM 6.5. Any suggestions for the price? It is in great shape.

the blueangel
The blueangel is like that... an angel dude! put it as a trophy on your room
if you dont want it give it as a gift to somebody that needs to starts as a WMuser... or wait till the chefs make some new things and get amazed when it runs on your OOOOOLDDDDD BA!
Sell it? huh!

LOL. Thanks for the reply. Maybe $83.00 then. That'll get er' moving!

I purchased one for US$45 with shipping, do you think this is a good deal? I am planning to refurbish it with new case, screen etc and sell it off for around $100 (this will be with a new case, so no scratches etc)...

I bought entire lot of 6 SX66's on ebay for $112
I bought an entire lot of 6 SX66's on ebay for $112 (free shipping). It included charger, car charger, base unit, usb cable, everything except for stylus which i got from HK - 10 of them for 12 bux. I networked them have them all running Qtopia/Openmoko (BabelO's build). I connect into them over their WLAN.

x86 - where do you plan to buy the case from? I'm looking out for a replacement case for my badly-scratched blueangel as well.
ParMaster - how does openmoko look on your SX66? i would like to try a linux OS on mine, it would be very useful if you can post some pics of your SX66? Do you have full phone / sms functionality?
Cheers,

New PSX style Bluetooth Gamepad

Hey everyone, I recently got myself a tablet and got quite hooked to emulators. Unfortunately i found it really hard to find a really good gamepad, but two weeks ago I discovered a really good bluetooth gamepad here in China that was made for Windows Mobile devices, but thanks to the Bluez-IME developer it works now since last Sunday with all Android 2.2+ devices.
I made a short video and put it up on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLB7zyWrVnY.
I was really surprised by the quality of the pad, I have no delay whatsoever and the internal 450mAh battery lasts me for a few days so far (and can be easily recharged via a microUSB cable).
If anyone is interested I could try to post some from Hong Kong next time when I go there.
Edit: I took a little effort and created a website with all the info regarding the gamepad at http://phonejoy.weebly.com . If you are interested in this gamepad you should check it out.

This controller was made specifically for windows mobile? It came with drivers for winmo? Never heard of that, and I've been searching for a good gamepad for over a year.
I recently discovered the iControlPad. I started a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983160
This is definitely the most versatile and upgradeable bluetooth gamepad ever made. It can be used for any phone, tablet, or computer that uses bluetooth, and has an internal 1350mah battery that can charge your phone or tablet while using it. And it is capable of multiple bluetooth profiles and upgradeable firmware, so it can be made compatible with any current or future device with bluetooth.
There are already many devs putting support for this gamepad in their emulators... yongtz just got his IcontrolPad, so we'll see support in PSX4droid, nes4droid, snes4droid and all his other emulators soon. Already many others already with support. Also, the developer of the GamePro drivers for android is currently adding support in that driver, too. Even without special drivers, it can be put in keyboard mode and it will register its buttons as keyboard buttons, so already all android emulators are already compatible like that, too.
In my thread, there are links to the company and forums that make this gamepad. I've got 2 on their way to me, and I will be posting an unboxing and review as soon as I get it.

Yeah i don't know how long it's been around for. It definitely has drivers for Windows Mobile, from what I know it's based on the MSI BGP-100 so it is pretty easy to make it compatible for all devices that already support the BGP-100.
I am sure the iControlPad is awesome too, especially if you own a phone that works with a clamp. It is kind of pricy though and I can't imagine it to be great if use it with a tablet or a phone connected to a TV. I got this pad for about $25 and probably would ship it for $30 and shipping costs (should be $10-15) if the interest is there.

Hmmm... interesting. How does the build quality seem? Does it seem mass manufactured? Does it come in retail packaging or anything like that? Have you ever seen these sold online? Several months ago I spent countless hours searching for bluetooth gamepads online, even searching many chinese site, and never saw this before.
I see it also has 2 pairs of shoulder buttons... do both pair work individually? the BGP100 only had 1 pair of shoulder buttons.
I might want one of these if I can scrounge enough money up.

The build quality is pretty solid, I wouldn't say it's much different from the original PSX controller I had back in the day. The controller has as said an internal battery, two LEDs (one to show you the Bluetooth connectivity status and one for the charging status), a microUSB port for charging and an automatic standby mode (after around 2 minutes). The pad has an overall 10 buttons (14 if you include the D-PAD), and of course all shoulder buttons work individually. Only thing that's missing in my opinion would be two analog sticks and dual shock, but yeah it's the best I've seen so far around.
The controller is by no means massproduced, they are made by a local Chinese guy here who buys Vinyson (Chinese brand that produces all sorts of gamepads) USB PSX pads and then modifies them to make bluetooth workable. From what he told me, he only makes and sells a few dozen a week. He actually offered me to buy off the blueprints of him, but I don't think the demand would be there to actually mass produce it at the moment.
It works actually fairly easy, you just need to activate the Bluetooth button and select Phonejoy in the device menu of Bluez-IME, pair it with "1234" code and then select the "Phonejoy / Vinyson" driver in Bluez-IME, then select Bluez-IME instead of your usual keyboard IME and then all that's left there is to do is to set the buttons to whatever value you want them to be. Because of that option I've actually been able to make the gamepad work in all -oid emulators, psx4droid, FPSE, and even some Android games like Illusia, Zenonia 1 & 2 and others.
As long a game supports any sort of keyboard input the pad usually works which is pretty cool. The range was pretty good with my phone too, at least 6ft I reckon, though that would only really make sense with a phone connected to the TV OUT. Would be certainly cool once Bluez-IME supports two controllers.
Edit: Oh yeah for what it's worth, he actually sells them in the Vinyson packaging, and the pad came with a microUSB cable and a stand for the joypad (no idea what that's good for).

would you have any contact details for the supplier or a distributor? been looking for one of these for a good wee. pm or reply - whichever you feel is more appropriate.

Can you please hit me up with a contact too, thirru? Thanks!

Oh, so he just uses a bluetooth module from a BT keyboard to make the controller bluetooth. I was looking into building myself a controller this way until I got ahold of a BGP100, which I was planning on using to also make my own modded bt gamepad (probably still will, but it's not as important to me now that I have an iControlpad on its way to me).
Still a pretty good deal for a custom made BT gamepad... it saves a lot of soldering work. You could probably sell some of these on ebay for a little profit.
I'd still be interested in getting one if I can scrounge up the money.... I'm interested in opening it up and seeing exactly how he did it.
Let me know when ever you'd have a chance to pick some more up to ship out, I'm sure I'll take one.

Sorry for the belated resonse guys, been a bit busy these days.
I'll try to set up an eBay page tonight. As said the guy only sells them locally in his shop here. Thing is the shipping costs are ridiculous from China (about $30-35 USD with UPS/DHL/FedEx) so I will buy like 10-15 pads and give them next weekend to my girlfriend to post them from Hong Kong then, where it should be around $10 with Hong Kong airmail.

Alright, I have put a page together on eBay with all the information etc. at http://is.gd/p0FAd0
Sorry for the long shipping, if demand is there I could buy next time a few more and then have a friend in HK handle the shipping that would cut it down to one week instead of two. Because of the eBay charges, shipping, etc it's all in all $45, outside of eBay I could make it probably make it work for $40 I guess. If someone is interested in that, feel free to PM me.

EDIT: READ BELOW FOR UPDATE.
I don't mean to cut in to your sales, but I don't think you're trying to make a profit anyways. Just wanted to let everyone know I found a similar gamepad selling on ebay for about $25 after shipping. This one can also be used as a USB gamepad also. It's sold from Hong Kong. It should be able to be used just like this gamepad on android or winmo devices, as it's a bluetooth gamepad meant for computer, so it should be no problem with BT keyboard drivers or Game Pro drivers for android.
It says its on sale right now, so in 2 days the price will go up to over $50 after shipping.
Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Bluetooth-W...t=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item20b8411850
EDIT: On closer look at the listing, I think it's just be a regular Six-Axis BT gamepad meant for the PS3... they have it listed as for a PC though, and don't even mention the playstation. I know regular BT Six-Axis gamepads can be used with the PC with special drivers, but they can't be used with android phones. Unless this is some modified version, which I doubt, the listing was misleading. Sorry to get anyones hopes up... good thing I went back and paid closer attention to the pictures. Sorry everyone.

Yeah I was about to say. I had first tried buying one of the local Playstation Bluetooth gamepads for PC here, but I wasn't able to pair it with my phone unfortunately. Would be sweet though if somebody comes eventually up with a hack that allows Android users to use PS3 gamepads...
The PSX style Bluetooth gamepads of mine have sold out for now unfortunately. I talked to the guy who makes them two days ago and he said he will need at least two weeks to make the next batch, but this time I asked him to make 30, which should hopefully be finished by the first week of May.

This has got me thinking.... I wonder if it would be worthwhile to try to produce my own bluetooth gamepads to sell?
If you don't mind, next time you talk to the guy, see if you can get a bunch of the bluetooth modules that he uses and if you can get a good price on them. If I can find a good source for the bluetooth modules for cheap, I could probably produce custom-made bluetooth controllers for relatively cheap. Maybe make one or 2 different premade models, and then I could also do custom made ones for people, where they send me whatever controller they want me to make into a bluetooth one.
I desperately need an income right now, so I've been trying to think up ideas for side business to help makes ends meet. This might be something that may interest a lot of people if I can get it done cheap enough.
If you wouldn't mind seeing if it would be possible to buy a bunch of the bluetooth modules that this guy uses in his controllers, I'd appreciate it. Even if you can get a few of them, that would be cool. The main reason I wanted to buy one of these controllers was to open it up to use the bluetooth module in my own custom controller.
To anyone who reads this, let me know your opinion...Does this idea sound like something people would be interested in? Any ideas or suggestions?
If I could get the bluetooth modules for $10/each or less, and get the gamepads I use for $10/each or less, I should be able to make them and charge $30 or less, plus shipping.

Sorry, I had been busy these days with some work I had to take care of. He only told me he's buying them on the electronic market in his city of Chongqing in western China. He wouldn't tell me obviously which ones he is using, as he wants to stay in business. Wouldn't any sort of module work though?
Anyway, shipment of the gamepads had been slow, and they only arrived yesterday. I tried and tested them, and they seem to be all working fine. I only managed to post them today from Hong Kong. I've got to ask him to use a faster courier next time though. Anyway as said he's working on thirty more pads, and he's finished ten so far and hopefully in a week's time he'll be finished with the other twenty. I also managed to find a FedEx reseller who can ship the pads within 24-48 hours for 25 USD. So that might be a better way for next time...

Yeah, any bluetooth keyboard module would work, but I was just wondering if this guy would be willing to sell a bunch of the modules for a decent price. The cheapest I can get bluetooth keyboards are for around $16-$18, and I'd have to deal with taking them apart and all that. If I can find someplace to get just the bluetooth modules for a reasonable price($10 or less each), it might be worthwhile to try to do this.
It was just an idea. Did you ask him if he would sell a bunch of the BT modules? I doubt I would cut into any of his business considering he's all the way in china and there's not many people making BT gamepads, and he could make some extra money selling the BT modules marking them up if he has a good connection for them.
I'm just trying to buy around 10 or so right now... nothing huge. If not, no big deal. With all these other manufacturers now releasing bluetooth gamepads suddenly, I don't know if it would even be worthwhile to try making my own. A year ago, it would have definitely been worth it, as there was no other BT gamepads on the market.
For years there was only the BGP100 gamepad available if you wanted a bluetooth one, and that has been discontinued for like 5 years. And no other manufacturer releases any bluetooth gamepads all this time, but now, suddenly, there's like 4 or 5 companies all releasing bluetooth gamepads all in the same year.

Nah, he won't budge. Maybe if you sent me the name of a module I could go and look around for you.

I'm not sure of the manufacturers... I'll look into that. There's a bunch of cheap bluetooth keyboard that come out of china... I'm not sure if one manufacturer makes most of the modules and sells to different manufacturers of keyboards. Any bluetooth board from any small bluetooth keyboard would work. You can get the small keyboards as cheap as $15 ea retail, so I figure if you find the right company or place, you should be able to get just the bluetooth boards from them for $5-$10 if you buy a bunch.
I don't know, don't worry about going out of your way or anything, but keep your eyes open for any really cheap bluetooth keyboards or modules from them. I'll probably buy a keyboard or 2 and see how easily I can make a custom bluetooth keyboard... see if it's something that might be worth my efforts.
I just got my iControlPads in the mail today.... they are very nice. Very sturdy and well-built. You should look into it if you game a lot. I know they are pretty expensive... at least twice the price of the gamepads you're getting... but the features it has and the versatility with upgradeable firmware and multiple bluetooth profiles, and ability to charge devices off it's battery while using it... I think makes it well worth it foranyone who games a decent amount. What I read about the parts used and build quality, and now that I actually am holding one... It's very sturdy and I bet it could easily last 10 or more years, with exception of internal battery and rubber membrane, both of which you should be able to get from manufacturer and replace when needed.
Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask... is that you in the android controller thread at fpsece.net forums talking about these PSX controllers? I've been trying to get more people aware of the iControlPad there so that schtruck adds support for them in FPSe. It's my favorite PSX emulator, and I hope he adds full support so the analog controls on the iControlPad will work properly. That's another really cool thing about those gamepads... I've never seen analog controls like that... there really nice... it would be great to use them properly with psx games. The analog controls can be used to control mouse arrow on computers, too, which is pretty cool.

how can we get the bluetooth gamepad?
Hello thirru
i have a HTC HD2 windows mobile and i am interested to buy this bluetooth gamepad, is there anyway i can get it? if yes then for how much?
thanks

That's great news zarathustrax, does it work with all the emulators so far? How is the feeling in your hand when you haven't attached it to your HD2? To be honest I've rarely seen a gamepad break. I still have plenty of SNES and NES controllers somewhere in my closet that i used for years and that are probably still fully functionable. But yeah I'm happy for you that your icontrolpad finally arrived and that it's of great build quality.
Anyway, I have been looking for some bluetooth modules and keyboards. And they vary in price between 7-12 USD. The cheapest one is 7, but it's really just the module without any pins.

And the cheapest mini bluetooth keyboard I found is about 12 USD.

Reachkavi, I should have new ones in about a weeks time. I'll let you know when they arrive and then I'll make an ebay buy it now page again. They are $30 plus $15 (standard) or $25 for FedEX express shipping.

Is this one plus for real?!

Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a one plus 3 from a guy which is selling it extremely cheap and I would like to ask you guys, in what ways I could check if the device is real and not just a replica and also if It's not stolen. I will meet with the guy today so I would appreciate everything you tell me test on the device before making the purchase. I already asked him for the picture of the invoice.. now I'm waiting for his reply.
BTW this is the picture he sent me of the device:

Thank you :good:

when you meet, ask to plug it in to a outlet, if it dashcharges, its real.
or
open bootloader by turning off phone and press volume up+power, it should be named someting ms8996 or something like that.

I saw you comment and first off I'd like to say its already a chinese branded phone and very modest company, not your usual suspects for making "Phoney." (pun intended) Also I do not own the phone yet, but since you're cautious I'll still help you out.
When I buy phones from untrusted/unknown parties I always meet them in very open public places and look them in the eye when they're talking, looking for signs of anxiety or hesitation.
Now onto the phone itself:
pop the sim tray out make sure there are 2 slots (real oneplus 3 has 2 slots). okay
Go to settings> about phone check the imei with this: https://swappa.com/esn (its free and trusted site)
pop one of my sim cards in and make a phone call. go back to settings> about phone and check the baseband, model number, build number etc. and make sure they are correct/up to date.
go to the camera (usually the stock app) and I test photos and videos.
turn on bluetooth and make sure it searches for my headset which i have on at the time.
Open a web browser and see how fast the app opens and open multiple tabs and different websites in each.
For a phone like this I would feel the quality of the build because most knock-offs just don't feel like "real"
and LAST but not LEAST go to settings> security and check the fingerprint sensor, (how fast it esponds, if it responds at all, nothing is for sure but chances are very slim that a knock-off company is putting a high quality fingerprint system in a knock-off phone. I do all of this while talking to him/her about how the yankees are really sucking this year, and telling them my fantasy football team is better than theirs by a long shot.
I sure hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

Check the Android version. If it says Nougat, then it is obviously a fake one.

Thank you! Isn't there an app that can check if the phone is real? Like all the internals and camera module? I heard there's one with the name similar to AIDA..
Also, could anyone post the latest settings page where I can see the latest build/baseband and so on, please?
Thank you all

when you meet, ask to plug it in to a outlet, if it dashcharges, its real.
or
open bootloader by turning off phone and press volume up+power, it should be named someting ms8996 or something like that.

he's selling for 150 euros. The charger looks like he bought it in the UK (UK plug)

That's suspicious, I would never buy this.
Water damage isn't visible from the outside but you could be screwed later on.

What if I do every test mentioned above? As a sound test?
If everything works well, it shouldn't be a problem.. it's even seen the original screen protector..

You could easily get 300 euro for OP3 so for me the real question is (and it should be your question as well) Why would the seller throw away 150 euro? Why would anybody do that? Nobody would unless something is wrong.

Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a one plus 3 from a guy which is selling it extremely cheap and I would like to ask you guys, in what ways I could check if the device is real and not just a replica and also if It's not stolen. I will meet with the guy today so I would appreciate everything you tell me test on the device before making the purchase. I already asked him for the picture of the invoice.. now I'm waiting for his reply.
BTW this is the picture he sent me of the device:
Thank you :good:

Looks real. Exactly like mine did whwn I got it. But what's to say that's what you will receive. Especially at half price.
Buy using a reputed site and pay using a known payment method.
That way if you do get cheated will have some way to get your money back.

Isnt that fingerprint Sensor/ home button too thick and too small from left to right?

Yeah it actually does look a little weird. Not the same compared to mine. Mines shorter from top to bottom and longer left to right.

It looks real, it still has the screen protector on it too, have him take a pic of the back and get the imei and look it up, it seems legit, maybe he won it and is just selling it cheap, just make sure it powers on and no other issues

If you can get internet... Download the Geekbench 3 from playstore and run a test and you should get around 2250+ singlecore score and 5400+ multicore score (If you can only download geekbench 4 then score is around 1700 for single and 4000 multicore)

That's not a UK plug, looks US to me which means it's running different bands than the EU model. Check it'll work on your network

3g bands should be ok but 4G can be problematic.
