didnt work for me either. i called telesales and was told that the promotion was only supposed to be for people who added a new line with a galaxy nexus. so take that for what its worth.

They let me buy two also. All I had to do was ask. Pretty cool for $12.95

I went to the site and there was only a promo code to get a free battery with the purchase of a Galaxy Nexus. (The code was BATTERY1.) So I called telesales and was told that you had to buy or upgrade to the GNex between Aug 3rd and Aug 13th, so I wasn't eligible. Does anyone have a different code or different info?
Edit: Just called back and the lady placed the order no questions asked.

Had exactly the same experience, bought mine in May as well. Called telesales and told them that I was trying to take advantage of the free promotion on the website, but that it was making me reenter my zip code from the shopping cart and then it would make me start all over. They forwarded me onto another sales department and they processed the order for me. Just had to pay the shipping/tax. Didn't ask about 2, they weren't overly friendly. But one for ~$12 is not too shabby.

ust ordered mine as well. I didn't purchase the Nexus new, I had traded my Evo lte for it. Online when I tried to purchase the battery it kept sending me to purchase the device. Called tele sales and the said it was like $12 shipping + $1 something for tax. I explained that online it was only $6.50 shipped. So he gave me a discount...$9.66 total so I'm happy!

Got one as well through telesales. Also told them the online shipping price was $6.50. They matched it, but said it would be by ground shipping, 2-7 business days. Fine by me!

i had to call 888 876 8381 to get help and be able to get the deal. I'm not sure if everyone can use this number, but try it. I'm a EVP member and i think that's a # for EVP help.
I tired 888 882 4030 and the telesales number. Both of those those numbers wouldn't let me do the deal. 2 reps said I was not illegible because I did not buy a phone from sprint directly which was what the first guy said, and I did not but it within august 3-13 which the first and second guy said. Which are both true.
So i kept calling trying to get a representative that would let me do it because the deal says current user of the phone, which i am. This is my daily phone.
So 3rd time the a rep told me to call the 888 876 8381 so they could help me buy it online. That number could not help me buy it online, but was going to let a telesale person know i wanted to buy the battery with the promotion and i was able to receive the promotion and i needed help because online shopping was not working.
So telesale person took my information and i bought 1 for 12.95 with no issues after using the 888 876 8381.
I asked if the deal was for multiple battery's and he said no just one per deal. So cant hurt to ask because i see some people got 2 for the price of only S&H but YMMV with phone sales reps.
Hope this helps people with issues.

are you talking about online shopping through sprint or other means?

I'm I the only one that can order online only, cause I ordered two without any issue ? lol ... I'm going to see if I can order one more to see if I can still do it. i will come back and edit this post.
Edited: Just did another order online, and it still work. I updated first pic to show that only sales does work with the code.

[Q] Where to buy in Australia?

Hi,
Thinking of buying the HOX. I'm still on the good old HTC Desire running ICS
Not sure if I should just walk into AllPhones and get an Optus branded for $649 or get it online from
- expansys.com.au $576.29
- uniquemobiles.com.au ($648)
- mobicity.com.au ($649)
- mobilecity.com.au ($648)
** I'm avoiding techrific...bad experience...
Expansys seems to be the cheapest at the moment but I've never bought from them before. All the above prices don't include delivery.
Anyone got a HOX from those online retailers? Should I stay away from any of them? Never bought anything from expansys. Got some accessories once from mobicity.
Any feedback is much appreciated.

I don't live in Australia but I know expansys USA customer service sucks .. its like they only have one rep working there.

Zakdeals.com
I spent hours this week scouring the web for a HOX at < $600 including postage. I finally found one that seemed free of dodginess, and have bought mine from them: zakdeals.com
Dumb name / domain if you ask me, but they have the HOX at $599 including delivery. They're based in Sydney and when I emailed to enquire about how they handle warranty requests they responded to me within 20 minutes:
"We give you local standard 1 year warranty. For warranty issues you need to send mobile to us and we will take it to HTC service centre in Sydney. In this situation we will pay both sides postage."
They even contacted me by SMS at 8pm to double check my colour choice (black of course).
That all said, I haven't received my phone yet, but it's only been 48 hours. If it all ends happily, I'll let you know.

Wow that's pretty good. Thanks for the info amrosis I'll check them out now
Let us know when you get the phone, what's in the box and if you have any issues with it.

I went through 9 handsets with Allphones before ordering from Mobicity.
FYI mobicity currently stock handsets from Singapore with CID HTC_044 which is Asian WWE

AllPhones here. No problems to report...

I know this isn't indicative of all Allphones stores, but the store I returned my faulty screen handsets to simply cleaned them, factory reset them and put them back in to stock.
When I questioned it, they said "most customers aren't as fussy as you and wont bring them back".
Be careful.

That would be a good idea!

Firstly I wouldn't buy online because it's a major pain in the ass if you have a faulty unit you have to send it away to where you bought it from and that could take days or weeks. I originally bought my first One X from Expansys Australia but the unit was imported from HK. I had a yellow spot on the top right corner of the screen. I was gonna return it but I had to jump through all these hoops and just totally discouraged me to send it back.
I bought my 2nd One X through Telechoice around where I live for $669 and I asked the guy about their return policy and it's 28 days. So if I have any problems with the phone I can drive down the road he will give me a new replacement within 28 days. And the 2nd One X is faultless. Now I just have to sell the other handset.

Well I received my phone yesterday around Noon. it was shipped direct from HK through Fedex. In the box was everything you'd expect; the charger is not Australian, but they included an international converter along with the HTC box itself. I'm not going to use than, I havean Aussie charger that the USB cable can connect to, so it's not a big deal.
Can't detect any screen issues or otherwise but this is my first Android phones after a decade using Blackberry, so I don't know what to look for.
Only curio I have is how can I install Australian English? It seems I only have the option to select Singaporean, Malaysian, or Taiwanese English! I suppose that's a slight downside to getting an import...

I would personally spend the extra $50 and get a local phone.
I've had bad experiences ordering grey imports (international units), even when ordering through local sellers (while I only have to send the phone back locally, they have had to send it back internationally, making it a lengthy process).
^This wasn't the HOX though.
I personally got my HOX on a 24m plan with Virgin mobile; $29/m plan + $15/m for the handset with three months free. Got it the day after I ordered it without a problem . To me, you get the phone for $650 plus you get credit for 2yrs for ~$300, and you don't have to pay a big lump sum.
My 2c

Yes I think I am heading in that direction. $50 extra is not that bad plus being able return it locally is a big bonus. Thanks to all who posted.

Picked mine up at an Allphones store since I wanted it same day and wanted to be able to check for any DOA defects/dead pixels before I purchased.
They seemed to have the best prices of anyone doing it instore and upfront. The Optus branding is slightly annoying but mostly unobtrusive and eventually removable.

How much was it and were they negotiable? I am 50 meters from an Allphones at the moment

I got mine from personaldigital.com.au
I've used them in the past and had good experiences with them. They have the unbranded UK model for $660 or so INCLUDING GST which is something many other don't include.

S3 for $99.99 (Amazon wireless) and Best Buy will price match

Last night I picked up another S3 from best buy, and at check out I told the associate to price match the online price of $149.99. He asked for the ad and I ended up opening an Amazon wireless page, where to my surprise the phone was listed for $99.99. Once the phone was payed for ($161.00 w/tax) I walked over to customer service where I asked them to price match the last phone I purchased, and they did! So I left with an extra 50$ in my pocket
Moral of the story, if you bought the phone from best buy, or if you were holding off on it cause of the price, either go get the difference or go get the phone.
I know there's a similar thread, but I wanted to make sure people saw this.
Cheers
EDIT: $99.99 price is for new, I got lucky and it was applied for my upgrade

Also worth noting it all depends on the sales rep you deal with. The guy i dealt with knew his stuff.They aren't suppose to price match Amazon.
But I got mine price matched for the $149 upgrade.

lol you sir got your way xD

Exactly cuz when i read the online price match guarantee best Buy states that they will only match the price of the local dealer in not online prices of people such as amazon or ebay .. ... looks like you won on that but I'm not too sure if anyone else will win like that I would love to take my phone back up and get my 50 bucks back but honestly I don't think I would be able to because it's online deal.

Wow lucky you sir. In our store when it has to do anything with mobile phones, customer service is told that best buy mobile has to do the price matching, returns, exchanges, etc so stuff like that doesn't happen lol

My experience with best buy price match. They will not match an online offer unless you purchased the phone from best buy.com. I went into best buy once before cause I found online price was cheaper from another vendor but they wouldn't match me cause it was online offer from another site .was told if it was an in store price they would of matched it

I work for Bestbuy in Aventura, Florida. We do price match Amazon, we did not used to but we do now. You can even ask a manager to show you the list of places on the register that come up for price match. Just call the Bestbuy in Aventura, Florida so that you know I am not BS'ing. That's like 1 of our top competitors, it only makes sense that we price match to stay ahead of them. Any bestbuy that tells you otherwise is not following policy and list of approved merchants.

For anything, but if you select upgrade on Amazon, sometimes the price is different so we price match upgrade for upgrade, new activation for new activations, etc.

I've also been reading the one founder of best buy has some huge plan to slash all prices to compete with online retailers, in a last ditch effort to save the company. Which is in the financial crapper right now.

Go to eBay report him. Then they will refund you. Don't communicate with seller. Let eBay resolve this. Tell them u contacted Samsung and they told you the card was fake. Most Samsung card come from Korea not china

I was able to email Samsungs memory department with picture of the back of the SD Card and the serial number. They confirmed it is a fake. Now i just have to wait until the 25th to escalate the claim to ebay this should be more than enough proof for them.

You don't have to wait. Tell them you have proof from Samsung them self. Also send a copy thru eBay to seller so it shows you made attempt. He might just refund you right away

How much did u even buy it for? If it was $20 or more I can see going through all this trouble. But if less like barcardilmon said. "You get what you pay for"

This guy has been selling this crap for a while. He done it to a lot of people. Now it is a matter of principle. He needs to get booted off eBay. I gave Samsung all his info so they can take legal action.

Just wanna say I too got ripped off. Ordered a 64gb samsung card off ebay and found out that it's fake. Only problem is that it took me months before I realized it (I only used the card to store a few files and by the time I actually put in a lot of stuff into it, it wouldn't write and the testing program deemed it as a fake).
Never buying from Amazon or Ebay again.

You lumped Amazon with Ebay? Did you also get one from Amazon and Amazon didn't respond?

Got on and it works like a charm....BUT, live in China and it cost me around 60 US for the card. The only thing that asked was USB 2.0 or 3.0 the seller at the market told me that the price difference is large but I wanted the faster one. The USB 3.0 speed is worth so so worth it..

I only bought the card off eBay. on Amazon I bought a car part (which is far more expensive than an SD card that costs under 100) and turned out that it was a replica. Went through 2 more similar cases of this before I said screw it, willing to pay a bit more to make sure I get authentic stuff.
So yes, I'm going to lump Amazon with eBay based on MY experience.

64gb samsung class 10 micro SDHC
mine has a shiny gold sticker with "HT" on it in prismatic reflective colors that change when you tilt it covering the print. but it's printed across along the longer side unlike yours, and from what i can make out from the print it says made in taiwan rather than korea.
front and back images attached.
now i'm doubting the authenticity of mine as well, since it came with the shoddiest SD adapter ever (microSD wouldn't go all the way in because prongs were in the way, then the whole thing promptly split apart). the microSD card itself seems to be rather slow especially the write speeds, but it could be the fact that it's hooked up via USB on a mac and copying via android file transfer. i'll try copying files over adb actually and see if it's any quicker. i half expected it to be a knockoff anyway, since it cost somewhere around $20.

Pixel 2 xl in fysical stores in the US?

The first Pixel was never released in Sweden and it looks like it will be the same for Pixel 2. I will visit New York on October 22 to 27. Do anyone know if the Pixel 2 xl will be available in stores in New York? It looks like Costco might have them, but only the Verizon model. Where can I get an unlocked version?

But the pop-up shops are just for testing the devices hands on, they don't sell anything. Or have I misunderstood that?

i can confirm that they dont sell phones

You'll have to order the device from the American Google store and have it shipped to the address you'll be staying at. The black Pixel 2 XL, 128GB ships by October 22. So if you're staying with family, order it now and pick it up when you visit them. If you're staying at a hotel, order a day before you arrive and it'll be delivered once you're there.
If you wanted a white one, or a 64GB model, then you're out of luck, since those don't ship until after you're gone. If you want to buy one in a store then the best way to get one is to buy one in the Verizon store. It's the same unlocked phone sold by Google, meaning you'll be able to use it in Sweden. You just won't be able to unlock the bootloader. (Unless someone releases a tool).

I will stay at a hotel, and the Pixel 2 XL 128 GB is fine. But I'm not sure how I can order since my Google account already have a billing and shipping address in Sweden. I guess I have to create a new temporary account and specify the hotel as billing and shipping address, but that seems a bit hazardous... It's a quite expensive device.
I device with locked bootloader is not interesting for me.
I'm starting to get really annoyed at Google! The canceled the Nexus product line that was a great reference implementation that you could flash and do whatever you want with. Instead they launch the Pixel device that is both very exepensive and also only available in a small part of the world. I can live with the higher price, but as it is not and have been since Nexus 6P/5X I cannot even buy an unlocked referecene phone from Google any more.
Is their goal to loose their leading role in mobile development?
Anyway, thank you for the help.

I'm in the States, but I ordered the phone and used my brother's shipping address. Seems like you should be able to do the same with your hotel address. The only thing I would be worried about is that it is delivered while you are at the hotel.

I would order it directly if I could, but I cannot order a device from any of my Google accounts. I don't want to create a "fake account" to be able to buy it. This is ridiculous.

Why can't you order mate? I'm able to just navigate to the American Google store and order any device they have on there. Just needs a shipping address in the USA. What issue are you running in to?

I realized that I can change my shipping address as you say, but to order a device for 950 $ and rely on an exact shipping date seems risky.
After having bought Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 5x, and Nexus 6P I guess I'm not loayal enough to be "allowed" to buy a Pixel...

No, you are right, I can order it. I wasn't aware that you could actually change country now. But as I said, it's to risky to order it to a hotel. I'll just skip the Pixel purchase.

You might be in actual luck. The Google pop-up store that's opening this week in NYC, according to the article, will be selling all the new devices as they get released. So that means you might be able to get an XL when you get into the city in a few days.

Talked to a google rep - it will be like you are buying from a third party and not from google and most likely the Verizon version. No finance, extended care, or free mini.

Question OnePlus Trade in program scam

Hello,
I just want to hear your experience with trade in program, as I had terrible experience.
I have OnePlus 2 in perfect condition, with original charger, box, and all packaging like from factory. Phone was always in the wallet case and had screen protectors. I sent it in for trade in they offer $10 for it + $240 bonus, if I purchase new OnePlus 11.
OP2 was sent in in original packaging and I took photos before I put it in the box. Few weeks later I got email saying that they offer $0, because there is damage on frame. So, they must drop it there, or on purpose damaged my phone, so they don't need to pay $250.
Once I complained about it and sent pictures (evidence) before it shipped, suddenly report despaired from the Phobio website (no picture); and only thing I could do is accept or reject $0 offer.
I called couple times and send multiple emails. Customer service didn't do anything about it. It seems trade in is such a scam by OnePlus and their partner Phobio.
I am long standing customer from OnePlus 1, had multiple phones, bought lots of accessories. Recommended OP to many friends and co-workers. Bought phones for my wife and my parents from OP. I was planning on buying two new tablets in April, but this situation gives me bad taste with OP and I don’t think I will ever buy their product again.

https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1287845979088748546 [Trade in program]

They said my screen had damage and I only got $260 vs $500.

I traded in my OnePlus 10t, and got full credit for it. $480. I sent it back in original packaging without the charger or cable, I kept those. I also had just flashed the US firmware, because I was rooted on Indian firmware. The phone wouldn't update lmao, but I said nothing and neither did OnePlus when they inspected it. I got an email a few days later saying everything was good.

I got $0. so I returned this stupid phone.
I sent the phone in perfect condition with the original box and accessories and they stole the box and accessories and only sent back my phone in a generic cardboard box. I'm just going to toss he phone in the garbage, but I made them waste money shipping it back.

I got full value refund for my OP7Pro which was in perfect condition besides a small nick in the frame near the alert slider.
Other than that I was worried because I only received one e-mail ith DHL shipping label and no info from the trade-in partner or any status update on Oneplus website. I have sent my phone 28 days ago, one week ago I contacted OP support chat, it was escalated and I was supposed to receive a response in 3-5 days but of course nothing so I just had a chat again 5 mins ago and the OP support confirmed my trade in was completed, full value.
So in the end the entire trade in process was strange for me and lacked any updates regarding its status since receiving the shipping label.
I was worried a bit because often those type of third party service provides do everything in their power to lower the value of sent device but seems I was lucky or the support corrected this behind the curtain.

You clearly did not read the rules and T&C of trade-in service.

I just got a notice that they're not giving me anything because they received it late.
The only date I had was that it had to be shipping before March 15th. I shipped it on the 8th.
I did email them with my displeasure and we shall see, because the payment method I used they can't charge any more money to it.

I had the exact same experience.
Sent the device only. The OP Trade-In is a complete scam and a dishonest business practice.
It is designed to fail from the beginning... it leaves you not appropriate time from ordering the new device, receiving it and testing it within your 15 days return policy in case you need to do this. You must ship the Trade-In device as soon as you get the box, which I receive 2 days after my order, the new devices got delayed in shipping...
I wrote back to OP stipulating the device was in perfect condition as are all my device from Mobile phones, to laptops , pads etc... the said revised quote : $0
OnePlus is a disgrace and since they are now OPPO controlled...the "Never Settle" slogan should be changed to “Never Again!” & “New Customer Don't Buy"
One more thing: they have made almost impossible now to “root” to which they became THE famous brand as a “Flagship Killer & Rooting Favorite”
I am looking forward to seeing how the Nothing Phone develops in a few years....this should be interesting to see if Nothing captures the huge following of the rooting community and a company that actually listens to its customers/fans!!
Shame on you OP!!!

I sent in my S21 FE and it got stolen! They never received it, instead they got clothes in the box. I sent them the receipt of my postage. All I had and they are investigating with the trade in partner about what happened, heard nothing new yet, still investigating

I wanted to do a trade in with Oneplus but they offered me 100 Euro...
I sold the phone for 400 Euro.

It seems people in Europe had good experience vs North America.

You got me worried right now
I just received my op11, my old op8 pro is in the box, waiting for DHL to pick it up and ship back.
It's in his original box, nose scratches. Hope everything goes well.
I'm sending it from Croatia to Oneplus France.
I'll update when I get news, good or bad.

Take pictures of device and packaging for safety.

It is totally a scam. I traded in a nearly new 10T (just outside of the return window otherwise I would have returned everything - flawless conditition) but it was refused and shipped back. They said I didn't ship my trade-in in the time allotted, even though tracking put it at least a week ahead of the date. They also shipped and received my original phone back before that same date even occurred.
I've since sold the 10T and the 11 for a Pixel 7 Pro.
Whatever, F 1+. It was my last. Even T-Mobile has dropped them. Good riddance.

Έστειλα το 8 pro 12_256 με γρατσουνιές στην οθόνη αλλά το πλαίσιο είναι σε άψογη κατάσταση. και μου το κράτησαν 210 ευρώ. μου ζήτησαν 40 ευρώ για να πληρώσω.. φυσικά δέχτηκα την προσφορά.. οπότε όλα καλά για μένα
Mod translation: I sent the 8 pro 12_256 with scratches on the screen but the frame is in perfect condition. and they charged me 210 euros. they asked me 40 euros to pay.. of course i accepted the offer.. so all good for me

I had the same issue trading in a Google Phone to Google, they credited me $180 less for some BS reason. I called Amex, disputed the original charge paid for the new phone, and a week later Amex found in my favor. That's why Amex is the best CC to use for purchases like this.

It's now been a week and I haven't received any replies from OnePlus. Not sure what is next, as they're not getting any more money from me.
