WARNING - Handtec. Scammed. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Phone kept loosing signal and had many other issues. Got RMA for refund from Handtec, sent phone back - no replies to my emails, no refund. Been nearly two weeks now. Will report to my credit card issuer and trading standards.
Just be careful where you buy your stuff!

Handtec are my favorite supplier and never had an issue with them whatsoever. You tried ringing them?

USB charging wasn`t bug.
Loosing reception on regular basis. Had to turn off/on to get back. Often asking for wireless network password when there is none set - worked with other phones and PC. Multiple touches not working in games in landscape mode. Once a day it will turn off itself for no reason.

You have such right.
It was asking to type in password to connec to wifi when there was no password set. If you leave it blank, then it doesn`t let you continue, because password field is empty.

Maybe you weren't actually trying to connect to the right router? Did your router have a generic name?

Looking for XDA guy from Craigslist: I bought a Galaxy S2 from you

Hopefully this isn't against the forum rules.
I'm looking for someone, I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 from you off Craigslist yesterday. We were supposed to meet up today so I could pick up the box and accessories but I realized now that you don't have a phone anymore, I don't know how to reach you. You gave me your XDA username in case I needed to reach you but I'm an idiot and forgot it.
If you see this, could you PM me so I could get the box, the case piece, the receipt, charger, and extra battery from you?
Thanks
LOL and good luck.
If he sold you the phone I doubt he's in these forums any more.
Hercules Hercules!!
Do a search for his name...lawl missed that you lost his name.
this is literally the good'ol "looking for a needle in a haystack"
good luck buddy

Yep, hope you didn't pay yet. Sounds like you hv the phone already though?

Lol, well, I paid him already.
But I do already have the phone, and the case, and the extra screen protector.
The box/receipt/extra part for the case/USB charger/extra battery seems like a weird thing to rip someone off over.
Heh, maybe I'll wait until tomorrow before I go nuts. From his XDA user name I found his Twitter and Google Plus accounts and contacted him on all of them. He's pretty active on XDA.
On the downside, he did mention when I met him yesterday he was leaving the country on Saturday....
On the other downside, he did mention on his Twitter dropping his phone and it slipping under the wheel of a car right before I bought it from him....
Lol. You're kidding right?

Even though he sold you his phone, didn't he keep his sim card? his number should be unchanged...... unless he just totally went off the radar and decided he didn't need a cell phone anymore or switched providers without porting the number.

Get unlimited data on your VZW NEXUS

So if your like me and are/were constantly checking your data usage... don't worry b/c there is a trick to getting unlimited data! Its a very simple procedure if it works...
1st call vzw customer svc, then when the computer csr asks you what you want to do say "add a feature"
2nd it will direct you to a live agent then simply say you would like to add the "30$ Mobile hot spot feature"
this feature is for unlimited data plans so if you can get the CSR to add the feature your data plan will change to a unlimited plan! No joke I did this 2 days ago. And yes you will need to remove the 30$ mobile hot spot from your plan, and yes your new data plan will stay activated.
And remember if at first you don't succeed with the first CSR agent... try and try again, I got it on my second call in.
Good luck

They have the right to change it any time they want. Unless you signed a contract that specifically gives you the right to unlimited data on their network they can remove the unlimited data feature, especially considering you tricked their system to get it.

No, it is not. Although they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone they want (whether that be now, or at the end of the contract period).

It's not the CSR's fault. They're only adding the WiFi Hotspot feature as they're supposed to do.
You're removing the hotspot feature later on your own without the CSR's involvement.

The blobs that everyone donated for was clearly a possible hardware issue which means that nobody would be able to fix it without mods made by hand. At best all he could do was look into it. Its not his fault people paid for a new phone just to look into it.
The whole situation is analogous to if Samsung released a new phone where a quarter of them had bad search buttons. It could be a software issue but likely a hardware problem with QA. Instead of exchanging the phone people then proceeded to setup a bounty to buy a new phone to get this fixed. Its looked into and it turns out its just a bad solder connecting the search button. This would of been likely in the first place and people should of just exchanged their phone rather than setting up a bounty for something which has a fair likelihood of being a hardware issue.
You have a hardware issue then exchange your phone.
If the blobs bother you exchange your phone. If the blobs only bother you when you have to follow a page of instructions on how to see it, really. If you need to follow a multi step guide to see it then its not that big of a deal. If it is then exchange your phone.

Yeaaa I turned brightness all the way up and it is much better of course but it is just unfortunate that this bandaid is the end all solution. The battery when playing a game and having the brightness all the way up gets effed.

I don't have to do that when auto brightness is on for me I have lines. When it's off at the lowest brightness no lines. If I can't see in the sun I just slide my fingers across the status bar to adjust.

You could always clear your recent app history and check it when you think she looked at it unless she would know how to clear that. Then you would know what she opened too.

Get the app with the password but give her the password. Set that app up but use nova launcher to hide it. Give her the password upfront but just tell hr you want a secure. But in all honesty, crazy girls like that are hard to deal with. Unless you're very patient and love her you might want to reconsider. I once got in trouble for two girls talking about my small ears in Korean on a subway. Though I am Korean I don't know the language but my crazy gf at the time did. Un****ing real the situations you can go through with women like that.
...
Best advice is ask her.
Yeah people lie, but if you have nothing to hide she should have put that together by now. If you've proved trustworthy and she still has issues then talking about it would be far better then trying to bust her looking for something that isn't there.
Wife and I have open phone policy. Look at it all you want.

It's not as telling of suspicion as switching to a pin code, but if you're having to assume she's snooping, as opposed to blatantly picking it up in front of you and cruising around it for sh!ts and gigs(my wife) , then it stands to reason that she's not going to confront you about it, if you just decided to use a "nifty feature you like on the phone"

[Q] Free 3G?

To be honest i am sick of paying 30 pounds a month on 3gb Data, monthly, it's gonna leave me broke in all honesty..
When i had the iphone, all i'd do is insert the ap address and I would get free 3g, no cost what so ever.
I know many people won't help but it is really expensive and there's only so much amount i am willing to pay
You were getting free data on iphone by changing some setting? It must be magical like people keep saying...

Yes, it works for Android too. You just have to type in the same ap, BUT you have to type it backwards, and after you've finished, reboot the phone and turn "Airplane mode" off and back on again 200 times. It's a random way to get free 3G for free. Worked for me the second try. I think I messed up counting the first time and only did the airplane mode about 150 times. Good luck!

Whatever APN you used on your iPhone then use it on the android. You may find though that a/ they have sussed it out and changed the way its billed/monitored or b/ its a bug and is only 'Free' when used on an iPhone as that might report to the network differently than other phones do.
In support of the OP, I have heard of things like this happening before. In the same way that some people can get billed billions of pounds a month due to a 'billing error' the systems do sometimes either fall over or have bugs in them that mean people can exploit them (accidentally)
S.
Try Tuenti Mobile in Spain. 6 euros a GB or 15 euros for 3gb. I think it's well worth the money!
Regardless, I have to agree that it was a fluke because when you put your SIM and access any service, the phone company has a record of it. You first have to insert your SIM to be able to use any radio that connects to a cell tower. The SIM, even in airplane mode, is still active. But I must say that's cool that you got free data for a while.

Lets not get into a bickering match here.
If you can't help the OP and have nothing constructive to say then maybe this isn't the tread for you. As for the OP, don't rise to it :angel:
Hey, life is about having a little fun too! We are all friends here. Relax.
