Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?

Please ignore this post.

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Disclaimers: I don't know anyone in this thread, I am not selling or buying a lapdock, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, and I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. I just ask the opposite question as you: why is the OP not allowed to sell his lapdock for whatever the market pays?

All of his feedback as a seller are for nothing more than like $50. 15 feedback, of unrelated items to technology. Where does one magically get 80+ of these. And can sell them for half of what they sell for AND make a profit...
Look at some of their previous purchases.
Too fishy for me to order the Calimare this time around.
Location is Hong Kong. Almost guarantee that it's a fake.
anything coming from Hong Kong should always be approached with caution. Now Ebay does have rules again st selling counterfeit items, to the point that if caught the entire account will be disabled. Kinda Worth the risk at the price, just make sure you are not spending your rent money on it.
Alot like gambling IMO, you could get the legit thing at a great price, but also keep in mind its cheap enough to just order straight from Google, if you want to be 100% sure.
So people,
Looks like our doubts have been confirmed. The listing has now been removed from eBay.
You were just too good to be true.

I managed to crack my tablet already . It's just the glass, the tablet works fine and the screen looks and works normally underneath. If I call samsung how much will it cost? Is it possible for me to fix it myself, or is everything fused together?

Sorry to hear that. This is just my opinion but because this tablet is newly released I doubt you will find much on the internet on how to replace the screen on your own, I think you will also struggle to find the parts. Calling samsung would probably be your best bet if you want it fixed now or if you can wait a couple of months I'm sure there will be videos online about how to do it. Hopefully it works out for you mate.

I should have made my point clearer, apologies, I meant that they should give you contact details of samsung aprroved technicians in the area but yes he would have to pay for the service.
Thanks for the replies...I called up Samsung and they said to send it and they'd fix it for 200$..ouch. I'm not sure if that's worth it or not. I'm considering taking it to a third party computer repair shop or just dealing with it until the parts become widely available. It works fine, it's just ugly XD. This all depends on if the price was reasonable. Is 200$ reasonable to replace the glass? If it is I'll just ship it off to Samsung now

Ouch. So then you'd have an $800 tablet. I don't know. Depends on your funds and ability to toss money around.

I think $200 is way too much - I know this is easy for me to say but if I were you I'd wait a while, to put it into perspective the OLD note 10.1 Digitizer costs just $20 and maybe a few tools will cost you no more than $10.
Honestly I'd wait and see if its really difficult or not and then attempt it yourself if you think your capable to do it. I bet there will be videos online of people taking the 10.1 2014 edition screen apart soon but then again if you mess it up you've wasted a $500 device. Also call a few local electronic shops once the Digitizer becomes available on ebay surely they will charge a lot less for labour.
Like I said its easy for me to say all this but obviously you know whats best. Best of luck mate I really do hope it works out.
I purchased it with a prepaid debit card so no purchase protection. I think I'll just take Geordie Affy's advice and wait it out. 200 bucks is a pretty significant amount of money for me. The wait will punish me enough so I'll know to be super careful with expensive new items in the future lol.

Search online for SquareTrade discounts. I got 30% off mine for the GN 2014. If you are within 30 days of your purchase, you can still purchase a warranty, and claim it down the road at some point. That's kind of in the "Grey Zone", but may be your best bet until the parts are easily available.

If I were you, I would get the SquareTrade warranty. There is no way that they would know about any conversations that you had with Samsung. Plus, even after you get this issue taken care of, it will still benefit you to have the warranty to tackle any future problems. They are pretty easy to deal with in my experience.

SquareTrade doesn't care if you ROOT your device. I spoke with one of their service reps, and asked that specifically before I purchased the warranty.

You're absolutely right...I'm just being paranoid. I purchased the warranty today. Thanks to everyone for your help!
My tab pro s cracked too, and I have no idea how. Is this screen particularly fragile? Mine shows pitting on the keyboard at the same place where the fracture begins. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the magnet that shuts it. Read on Amazon that someone had cracked theirs twice already and the screen was super fragile. ???
This is probably not the right place to post, I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to, but time is of the essence, so here we go!
I've had a G3 since release, and a week ago, while out with some friends, an idiot tipped a 20liter amount of water over me while I was holding my phone. Phone? Now dead...
I contacted my insurance, and I've just got the money transfered to my acount. Now, I run a bar, I'm a part-time worker at an electronic store, AND I study Multimediatechnology and Design. This is were the begging starts....
As a MMTD student I have "Java" and "Android Development" as some of my classes. I'd love to have a Oneplus One as my dev-device!
So, does anyone out there have an invite to spare, for a student in desperate need for a new phone, hopefully the Oneplus One?

From what I can see, the original ones come with the CM logo on the back? The one you linked to, doesn't have any logo on the back, so does that mean it comes with the dreadful ColorOS? And what about replacement phones and warranty-concerns?

Some of them have ColorOS however it's a simple flash to change to CM11s - regarding warranty or issues.. it's a straight send back and swap from what I have seen so far. People have actually been having worse luck with OPO directly.
Remember China don't need invites, hence them being freely available.
Hmm... Well I think I'm gonna see if I find an invite in the coming week, hopefully I do... I'm just so concerned, in fear of it being a "fake"

No fakes around as it's a Chinese company anyway have a look in the OPO forum here and read people's reviews... They don't tend to pirate their own stuff. Good luck with an invite :good: they all come from the same warehouse anyway lol

So my HTC 10 has a yellow tint on the screen at the bottom so I want to swap it out for a new one. Their only course of action is to return the old one and place as new order. Giving them another $640. Now I have tied up $1,200 into HTC. I have to pay for and organize my own return label and I also lose out on the overnight shipping I paid on my original order. They won't overnight me the new order, when they should since its their defect. I really do not feel good about trusting HTC/digital river with another $630 hoping my refund and return goes smoothly. Especially after the launch troubles.
Just wanted to give anyone a heads up about the recourse if your htc 10 has a defect or problem. Only process is to return and place a new order and it will cost you another $10 for over night shipping again. So because they made a defect unit it costs me another $10 to get what I ordered and a good unit. I know the process is usually the same with having another hold on my card but I do not like having to pay overnight shipping again. Might just return and jump ship instead of risking more problems.

Fedex isnt bad with insurance i think it was $14 I was actually shocked. I used the dimensions of the box they shipped to me. I still cant believe we have to go out and get our own label and everything. Pay for return shipping and pay shipping again on the new order. Its so terrible.

I don't think they can afford to send out shipping labels for free.
HTC is bleeding money right now.. according to their latest quarterly
I had to return mine cause the speakers were blown right out of the box. They gave me a free shipping label after I yelled at them enough. I am in the same boat though with having to pay another 600 + shipping and have no idea when they will even send out my order.
I am very surprised at this. You should have a years warranty on the phone. Now for something like the yellow tint, I could see HTC's point and say that was something like users opinion rather than fault. But for an obvious fault like blown speakers, I would argue that definitely falls under warranty and should definitely be fixed / replaced. What did they tell you guys when you said that you wanted it fixed under warranty?
EDIT: Looking at warranty they class it has a limited warranty! Here is the US document and the UK document

sorry I dont have another camera at the moment. but its def there. I see it a lot on twitter or a white page. Its about a centimeter from the bottom. Yellowish and just not as white as the top.

Hi there,
today I dropped my phone on the street and the front glass got broken. The phone is still fully working. Touchscreen and everything else works without problems.
A couple of months ago I changed the front glass of a Samsung Galaxy S4 with all the necessary stuff, e.g. loca glue. For the first trial the result was acceptable. No reading the other threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3522863
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3592043
most of the posters don't recommend the replacement of the front glass. On ebay I can find both only the frontglass (about 10€) and the full suited display (about 135€). If I take an offer from china, the price would lower to 65€. Another option would be to send the phone to Oneplus and let those guys repair it.
Now the decisions I have to made:
Just buying the front glass: Would be an option, if it is the same difficulty like the Samsung phones. But I've found only one Youtube Tutorial. At 1:45 he puts something on the screen, but not sure if it's clue or just something to clean.
Buying a display from China: for about 65€ would be also ok. This can take up to 6 weeks of shipping. And in some forums I've read the quality should be much lower than the original parts from Oneplus. Does anyone have any experience about this?
Sending to Oneplus ist the last option. But this depends on the price. I opened a ticket and now I'm waiting for their offer.
What would you recommend? Has anybody changed the frontglass and can tell me about the success?

Open the ticket mate. No fuss. You'll get your device going in maximum 2 weeks. I tried replacing the glass myself and failed, I cracked the screen half way through...
Buying from eBay... Idk, but if people say they're not original, why Risk? Then again there's the struggle of doing it yourself.
The cheapest and safest is to send it to ONEPLUS.
Cheers

I have replaced hundreds of screens in devices and for the most part it is cheaper and far easier then anything else.
Im about to replace my USB port myself as soon as my tool kit gets here on Monday.
I would never send a device to the OEM to be fixed. It will cost you twice as much plus the time without a device is just stupid.
I have always trusted these people with all the stuff I need to repair. Never trust some random Youtube video.

You could find a cheaper knock off im sure but I hold a simple believe when it comes to electronics. You get what you pay for. You buy cheap and you get cheap.
The USB port was like 4 bucks with 25 dollars shipping lol.

That's been my general experience as well, with probably the exception of Intel CPUs. Got my 1700X and is better for building than a 7700K or 8700K for almost half the price.

57 Euros doesn't sound bad actually especially if it's the regular screen.

What? It may suck to send your device away but why are you saying they charge you twice as much? That's misinformation. I sent mine and it only cost 80£ (labour and shipping included). Where can you buy an original display for 80 quid? Even the Knock offs from eBay cost more than that.

You are not adding in the cost of buying g another disposable device to use for the weeks your device is gone. That's for you. Do you know how much it would cost from the US for a repair?

Yep! Not gonna pay $400 to repair a device that is literally $100 something on Ebay or Swappa, and I am definitely not going to pay $400 for a device that is guaranteed going to bootloop again in only a years time. So I spent $300 and bought a new OP3. Originally got the V10 because as someone coming from IOS, I automatically thought all Android phones could be unlocked and rooted with ease, with some o them sweet custom ROMs. This guy didn't do his research and ended up with using LG's, horrible, horrible (I cannot stress this enough) software. Not to mention the extra thick layer of AT&T bloat behind it. I don't really care about the hardware in a phone, as long as its good enough to have the software run good.

I hear you there. I had a g2 for a while. Then moved to the nexus but the 6 had issues dealing with the cold. So got the 1+3 for a steal from a dev. To be honest. I wanted to hate it because the CEO is an idiot. But other then some crappy BT issues when on a weak wifi connection. (licensing issues I'm sure) and the fact it won't work with my smart watch. I really can't complain about about.
I replaced my Motherboard and Battery by sending it to Oneplus. I do live in the EU so that could be a big difference. But a DHL driver picked it up on Monday. And I got it back the same week on Friday fully repaired without additional costs. A screen replacement here costs about €100 which is not expensive at all.. The problem mainly is that original parts are very rare and mostly fake.

I used DHL for the first time Getting the USB port. Ordered it before Xmas and got it 2 weeks later. I was impressed with DHL as they went out of their way to make sure I got the package.
