dude you need to check other threads first and ask there rather then just making new threads. this subject has already been spoken about. it is apparently about a 2 week wait for them to ship/for buyer to receive item and they dont really update you well on the status

Just be patient. I ordered from first batch. Took a week but I had no issues.

Got mine from them - no problems at all...

No problems here..the phone froze when I first booted it up and required a battery pull (just a bug in the early ICS builds I assume)...updated, rooted, and no problems since.

I ordered mine from there the last time around. It took a while to show up (seemed like forever!), but it did show. And I've been happily ever after since.

Got mine from them. I bought last minute so mine was last to ship. Was a UK Korean model. Some earlier batches that shipped from them were from china but other than not getting a Chinese one, it was brand new. Seal wasn't even broken. They just take forever. Don't cry when you don't get amazon service and you will get a very good deal.

I'll rather order from Amazon if your in the states. Since Amazon have their "Fulfilled By Amazon " which means its already here in the states for faster shipping.
Order it on Tuesday. Got it Wednesday morning .. that's with overnight shipping, they have free two day if you sign up for Amazon prime .. I only paid $626

Sending phone back to samsung under manfacturers warranty

Im having some hardware issues.
If i get a replacement from samsung, roughly how long would it be before i recieved the phone back?
For anyone who has any sort of experience with this, your feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thru the warranty they send you the phone overnighrt. Usually you'll get it by the next day or the day after. Then after you receive it you send your defective phone via the same box the new one arrived.

You're thinking thru T-Mobile buddy, thru Sammy you need to send your device in 1st and its usually a 1 week turnaround.

Why would you send the phone to Samsung,when you can have it replaced much quicker through T-mobile? It doesn't matter where you bought it as long as you're a T-mobile customer.

You can only get a replacement through T-mobile if you have their insurance plan, otherwise you have to go through the manufacturer. You're **** out of luck if you don't have a receipt though. They don't care about the manufacture date on the phone, only the receipt.

Um no. If you bought from t mobile and chose to not take their insurance you still have a one year warranty rhat can be claimed. Through Tmobile by either calling csr reps, online chat or going to the store. Whomever told you otherwisenis misinformed.

I did send my Samsung nexus S for warranty work to Samsung and it took about 3 weeks till i got it back. Since then i have learned to always have a decent backup phone.
And this from Samsung not TMobile.

Mines took about 7-8 days. They did free 2nd day shipping both ways for me though. Got mines back better than the way I received it too lol. They replaced my cracked bezel, even though I didn't say that was the problem with my phone.

HTC Media Link HD [Phones4u / DAP Free Gift]

Hi,
I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Media Link HD - but not heard a word out of P4U yet....has anyone else heard anything?
Danny

There being shipped 24th April
Sent from my LT26i using XDA

I was wondering, does this work with any tv? Since some tv's have limited codec's (like my sony HX923) this could be a dealbreaker for me.

As far as I know it's simple HDMI connection, so works with any HDMI TV.

I was told up to 28 days after the phone was delivered at release

Yeah same here mate, havent heard from them buggers. They first said that within 28 days and i emailed them last week about this and they said I'll get AFTER 28 days of the delivery. I've never had a good experience with them.

Spoke to them Saturday and they said all orders even if not a pre order would get it within 28 days from.contract start date. I would imagine we will see them a week or two after release which I'm led to believe is the 24th April.

What sort of backwards company says that!? Saying AFTER 28 days could mean anything u can get it on the 29th day or 100th day
I would feel like a dumbass if I ever had to tell a customer that

From what I understand it is pretty immediately after 28 days as you have to stay connected to the network and pay the first months bill, although time will tell

still waiting here to hear about medialink. ive phone and i all i got was the 28days BS. also waiting for £50 refund and quidco from them aswell

Hi, anyone know when this media link is getting released?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

well phone was released 5th April so 28 days isn't up yet,as for quidco it usually takes a number of weeks for the money to show doesn't it?

Is the media link in stock anywhere yet to buy? Cheers

Just received mine today, pretty nifty.
Comes with a HDMI cable and another charger. The cable for HD Media Link is at least double the length of the one supplied with the phone.
And it's all in black.

Got mine today too. Just picked up from post office.

Verizon warranty experience

I changed this into a my progress thread. I have verizon and insurance.
I tested everything on the phone over a 24hr period. And here is progress.
Still using phone 2 as of now.
Phone 1 - random reboots.
Phone 2 - proximity sensor failure, vertical banding
Phone 3 - 2-3 screen purple, loses full signal and data then comes back. Few times a day. Basically like a ping out. Timeout. Whatever.
Phone 4 - coming tomorrow 8-15 maybe this one will be good!
Phone four is good so far! No data drops. Good screen. Korean model.

okay so i have verizon, i went back stock to warranty my phone locked it back up and everything, called verizon and they are sending a refurb to my house overnight.
question is, i'm ocd about my phones, they say its a refurb and they don't know if its been used and has gone over a 100 point inspection. but has the screen ever been touched and such? scratched etc.??
im sending back because i have issues with proximity sensor in the phone and defect screen.
this is going to be my third replacement, my second however i did within the 14 days of buying the phone so they gave me a new one off the shelf.

I've had 14 replacements. I've had only one that didn't look brand new and that was due to the protectors shifting when it shipped. They are pristine when you get them.

I got my phone replaced once for screen ghosting. I'm almost certain this "refurb" is BRAND NEW. They even re-apply the oliophobic coat. I'm very pleased with Verizons return department and I'm pretty sure the lemons people got weren't verizons fault.

whats this coat your talking about?
my first replacement was within the 14 day period, my phone was randomly rebooting every day.
this is going to be my third nexus, this time proximity sensor doesn't function even after recalibration and such.
i'm just worried that i'm going to get a phone worse off then my current. since there are so many bad ones out there, and i've heard of horror stories of refurb nexus's on youtube and such.

I would trust a refurb from Verizon over a new unit. They're all tested thoroughly and any parts replaced are new...

You would think that however there are tons of people who go through more then four replacements trying to get a good one from Verizon. There are videos of un boxing and having issues from first power on.

Got my first replacement today everything is working as intended so far.
Edit. Only thing I can find is sometimes radio timeout. I'm on jelly bean. And it'll say full service and 4G or whatever and then ill try to do something with Internet and ill lose service completely timeout and it'll reconnect.
Is this normal? Gonna test it for another day before I return.

when one reports to Verizon about a fault in the phone and they send you a refurb/recertified phone, do I send them my current phone first or I can just sit on it and ask for a replacement and just walk to a verizon store and return there?

You have 5 days or so to ship the faulty phone back upon receiving your new phone. They pay for the shipping both ways. If it is faulty just tell them you have already wiped data etc....battery pull blah blah blah so they don't make u do it and you aren't tied up on the phone. So glad I pay the $6.99 for TEC from asurion on both my lines. This process the few times I have had to do it is relatively painless.

Just delt with them again on the phone. The woman said I can mail it back tomorrow morning and they will mail the next one out before they receive the old return as in they are going to mail the next one tomorrow as well. Is this true or is she bs.?

90% of warranty exchanges are garbage.

[Q] Warranty

If T-Mobile stopped caring the Galaxy S3 Pebble Blue 16 GB and replaced it with the Titanium Grey version; and a manager said the warranty replacement is on backorder; and the Pebble Blue hasn't been in stock for at least 2 months, does that mean I will still get a Pebble Blue one since it was my original phone?

If they don't have it in stock they will send you the titanium gray. Login to your my T-Mobile account and look under orders to see what they ordered for you.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

My bet is you will still end up with blue. Maybe out of stock for new but I'm sure there are plenty of rebuilt ones for warranty replacement. Usually when you return a phone it goes to a rebuild factory and get a few things replaced like charger port and power button and things like that. and than they use those for replacement. Of cause I'm not talking about "recent purchase" but warranty replacement. Keep us posted.

He was told that they are out of stock on refurbished blue s3's. They don't give new phones for warranty replacements so they wouldn't have told him their inventory on them. This happened to me with my s2. They were out of refurbished black ones so they sent me a brand new white one. It depends on how long it is going to take for them to get you the original color/how far backordered they are.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

I just hot off the phone with t Mobile. Not real happy. They are out of stock on s3. They are back ordered with no eta. I asked is there a different color or something else they can do? She was no help. Ill be leaving town Monday and looks like ill have to dig up an old RAZR i have somewhere. Very disappointed in Tmobile. Pay warranty and insurance month after Month after Month. Need a replacement one time and this is the service they deliver. Shame on you rmobile. Pi$$ poor.

I actually just talked to them today to replace my white one. After issues I had with a waaranty replacement they offered me a brand new one but since they are completely out of the white one they offered me the titanium. I don't care about the color its the same phone. I didn't care for the blue ...so . but they lady told me as far as she knew the white was out of stock and they only had the gray or blue but blue was backordered. I must have gotten the. Last titanium . . Maybe they are getting rid of the. For the lte version.

Dang, but the silver lining might be that you get a T999L model as warranty replacement due to their inability to provide a T999 model. Just have to wait until April to receive your replacement phone.

They sent my phone to me on the 21st. I got a bad IMEI and I still cannot get it unblocked. They told me 48 hrs on 3/21, 24 hrs on 3/23, and then 24 hrs on 3/25. Sounds like they cannot do jack for me. I have to wait till like 6pm ET tomorrow if not, call and get them to send me another phone and I sent this POS back to T-Mobile. My parents are pissed that T-Mobile is treating my like crap. $400 for an S3 that I paid out of pocket from work during the summer down the drain. Bad luck for the college student, smh.
