Develop Bugs

Orders from Vodafone UK

Hi Guys, pleased to say that I've finally jumped ship from Windows Mobile to Android after 7 years with verious WinMo devices. Hopefully I can give some contributions to the Android community.
Any, I'm after knowing of anyone that's placed an order the the Desire with Vodafone UK? Basically, they gone out of stock already! Order was placed yesterday and was told that the devices should be in that afternoon but a call from Voda later that day I was told no go until tomorrow now. Fine, but then today I've had another call saying that the delivery didn't turn up and they won't be getting any in until sometime next week now!
Vodafone have also locked all the threads on their forums regarding the lack of stock so it's not even possible to discus the issue with them!
Cheers

I spoke to someone at vodafone regarding me moving from O2 and he said they expect new handsets around the 20th of April.

I applied for my upgrade with them on the 14th. Everything went through OK and I received the 2nd email saying my order was successfully processed. Then, I get another email saying I have to wait 7-10 days for my phone as it's out of stock which was where the fun began.
I first thought, these things happen. But with with a bit of reading around the Vodafone forum, this had been happening to a lot of people for weeks prior to me upgrading.
Why the hell did the advertise on the site that I could get it next day, when obviously I couldn't. Now they're blaming everything on the volcano erupting. From what I can tell, this problem has been going on way before anything happend with a volcano stopping the deliveries.
3 have even posted a blog explaing what has happened and have apologised to their customers. I have sent email after email and received no replies, the phone staff are useless, and now the once excellent online team are just closing every thread that has the word "stock" somewhere.
They really have to get their act together.

I got my handset as an upgrade. Ordered on the 14th, received an email on the 15th stating it was out of stock and it would be 7-10 days. I contacted customer support to say I'd seen the handset in store and asked whether I could simply go in and pick one up.
Never got a reply, but my phone arrived the next day.
Upshot is, supply seems very patchy and Vodafone's stock control a tad lacksadaisical. Then again it's not surprising that it's selling well given the comparatively low tariff costs for the level of hardware, plus pretty much everywhere has given the phone a good - if not great - review, two minutes googling will convince even a non-geek that it's one of the phones to have.

I'm getting pretty sick of vodafone. every post i start now gets deleted! had an online chat with one of thier sales people today who told me it was in stock! posted it on vf forum and guess what? deleted within about 20 minutes!

They had delays because of the ash cloud. New dates I've seen mentioned on other forums have been for the 26th or 27th.

i'll believe that when i see it! And it's not really about the delay anyway, that i can understand, it's about the blatant lies and closing/deleting of threads that's really pissing people off. Everytime they close a thread they give a link to another thread which is locked, pointless. it's become very clear that some people have recieved their phone even though they've ordered after others that are still waiting then claim that it's first come first served.

I don't use their forum so can't really comment on that, but it does seem pretty frustrating. Anyway, according to someone on AVForums who spoke to someone from web retentions today, they might not be in stock until a week on monday now...

Yeah, I ordered mine on the website and then got the email saying it was backordered AFTER the purchase had completed.
This is a major design flaw in my opinion. If something is backordered, it should tell you BEFORE you confirm the order.
I tried to call the 0844 number (specified in the email) a couple of times to find out the status of the order and gave up both times after waiting 15 minutes on hold for each call.
I finally had a massive argument with someone in customer services, who incidentally was really snotty with me, before filing a complaint with a manager - cancelling my order in the process.
Then the next day I walked into Carphone warehouse and just bought the phone
Customer Service Rep: Nobody in the UK has stock of this phone... it's because of the volcano.
Me: Erm, my co worker got it in carphonewarehouse yesterday.
Customer Service Rep: Yeah, well i bet they're sold out now.
Bottom line, Vodafone service is appalling at the moment, I'd advise anyone consdering buysing a desire from them to stay well away.

Vodafone have had unprecedented demand with the offers they have been giving so I guess they are in a different position. I agree that it is annoying, but personally I can wait as I know that nowhere else can offer 600mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data and free phone for £22 a month.

Verizon Rep: Launch is Thursday

Went to Verizon today and talked to a rep about the Nexus. He said he had gotten an email today stating that Thursday was the launch date. I asked if he had any in stock. He showed me a stack of 10 behind the counter, opened one and let me play with it - only while powered off. He wrote my name and number on a sticky , put it one one of the boxes, and said he would call me if anything changed but, barring that, he would see me Thursday at 10:00. Sweet!

I remember when a rep told me the release date was on the 9th. I've given up on when this phone will finally be released. Just hope it's soon already.

Yeah I stopped in one myself too. She had just had it out showing another guy so I messed around with it while we shot the ****. They still have the date set at the 15th, but I'm having a hard time believing it's going to come. We're 18 hours away from release and they still haven't told stores to put out demos, or even started advertising. The signs just aren't indicating the phone is imminent. I really hope it comes, but the pessimist in me is saying no way.

I still say we do a class action against Verizon for mental anguish

My Verizon store just called me regarding the nexus. I missed it and it went to voicemail and didn't leave any details but wanted me to call back if still interested.
Sounds good.
Plus demo units are supposed to go out tomorrow.

I signed up for the email alert for the Droid Incredible, I got the email stating it was out 1 week after it's release date so I wouldn't count on that as a sign of release.

I hope that this turns out to be the biggest blunder in vzw history, I'm a loyal vzw customer but this is ridiculous. Maybe blame it on all the forums... who knows, but this thing is going to have so many bugs and then it will be a solid wave of nothing but complaining. Mark my word!!!!

I take it you weren't there for the Droid RAZR launch. they made the biggest deal out of that thing and pulled the whole 11/11/11 11AM bit. they had these red lines/dividers in front of the stores in anticipation of all these people showing up for it...
at my local Verizon no one was in line for it 5min before they opened and apparently didn't even sell any that day(most other stores were similiar to).

You'd think so. I signed up for Razr alerts as well. Got an alert the day it went on sale, not the day preorders started, not before, after the phone was already for sale they finally sent an email.

Lol. I texted him back and he said they just got word that its own Thursday.

I keep getting mixed feelings about this. I get all hopeful that it will launch and then it doesn't. This is some pretty concrete evidence but we saw "definite" dates in Verizon's systems before. Just taking this with a grain of salt and hoping that we get an official OK from Verizon tomorrow.

I think someone loosened the cap on the salt shaker....and now there are grains of salt EVERYWHERE

As long as it comes out before the end of the year, why does it matter? They never stated anything more then that....

What a weekend this has been, and week this is turning out to be. A very severe storm blew through my small town here in Marietta, OH Friday night knocking power out here and across the state. Power is back on now in most places, however I am still in the dark. A very large piece of my pine tree broke off and severed the power line from the drop on the pole to my house. American Electric Power will not restore service until I replace the box my electric meter is repaired and put back on the house. Fun. Do today I removed the tree in question so ny landlord can get to the box to repair it. So it seems things are looking up.. however I have lost all of my food inside of my refrigerator and don't have the means to replace it all. If this not appropriate to post here delete and I will harbor no bad feelings, but I've been asking for help locally with no response since power is back up in most places, business as usual here. But I'm unemployed and trying to take care of my mother who is on a very fixed income. Anything will help, thoughts, prayers, what ever you have to give, I will kindly accept. Thanks for listening, I just had to get it out. This has been removed, but this is the image I took ...

That branch took out the meter base but missed the house? You are blessed.

Sucks. Our electric flickered, but thankfully we didn't lose any power. I have quite a few limbs to put the chainsaw to but haven't had a chance. Hope your power gets back on. I've been reading some places may not be until July 7-8. Sucks in this heat.
One thing though - you are on a fixed income, unemployed yet are paying $30 per month for a data plan?

I'm on a fixed income that pays the bills and get the necessities but this will take a lump sum to get everything back ... We'll survive... Just didn't expect criticism about things here. Yes I have a $30 data bill, but I'm locked in with a very good monthly price with VZW that will be over with in December...

Everything is still slowly coming together.. house survived, we survived.. No federal aid to those of us who was out of power for 10 days because the mayor was so up-in-arms to get power restored to 'key' areas we lost our disaster status.. But oh well... Thrills of a small town right?

We have a rover landing on Mars in 5 days and we spend millions on corrupt Afghani politicians but we can't restore power quickly in the USofA? Something is wrong with this picture.

I'm sorry that you are in this situation, but I am going to be very direct with you.
If you cannot afford to buy food, then I assume you and your mother are not eating. If this is indeed the case then everything else is secondary for the moment, is it not?
Put your phone on Craigslist for $100. It will sell quickly and provide you with much needed cash to buy some food and survive.
Stop paying your VzW bill. It will be at least 30 days (most likely more) before you have to deal with this. An extra $60 (at least) in your pocket this month to go toward food. Plead with the electric utility to defer your payment for this month..they will likely work out something with you given your situation..more extra $$ this month to put toward food. Do you have cable or satellite TV? Don't pay the bill this month and put the $$ toward food.
Hope this helps.

But this is for new customers only...
My contract has been up since october but I'm under my uncles account, so would I be able to create an account and just port my number over?
Also, I believe Best Buy will pricematch anything on walmart.com till the 31st...so people who really will sign up for the first time, I believe this will be the cheapest route..I've never seen it so low lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

when exactly did you see this and what zip code did you use? When I do a search theydont show the price. Meaning if Best Buy cant confirm the price its a no go. Ironically they show prices on other phones but when I use my zip it shows no available which means I need a zip code that shows a state that has them... Mine is in transit from BB after returning it back to Sprint Store for $50 less at Best But THEN of couse I see this. Not too late though since I havent even received it yet
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about the shipping time for Amazon. I just switched from Verizon to Sprint because of this Amazon deal for $99 and it originally said 1-2 week wait. On Dec 27 looked at my account and it said that it wouldn't ship until Feb 4th, the next day I received an email stating it was shipped and was here 2 days later.
I'm so glad I got this phone for $99, makes the sting of not having 4G any more better since this phone is fast as hell. Now I just need to sell my VZW Nexus.

Best buy denied me! No online only price match.

They can't deny online price, they can only deny the new price for a renewal. I would go back and if they still say no talk to the store manager and if still nothing then call the 1800 number. The online price match is a best buy policy that may be extended for the rest of the year. My local store said if they take it away they will still honor it. Good luck and don't just let them do whatever they want. Fight for it.
Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!

I would buy it from walmart.com, especially if you live in a state like my state (CA) that charges prices on the full retail amount of the phone before discounts. a phone like the Note 2 is easilly a $50+ tax, but on walmart.com, they don't charge tax so it's $139 out the door. I bought mine last month when it was $199 ($299-$100 walmart gift card) and was charged no tax on the phone.

A Story

A story, by 640k
I have been fascinated by the Moto360 since its initial hype. I had hope it was the smartwatch I was looking for, in an attractive package. Reviews passed, days passed, inventory passed and I still had yet to pull the trigger. It was a Thursday and I managed to leave my gym clothes at home (I usually work out at lunch). Instead of exercising that day, I went and spent money.
Actually, what had transpired that day was this; After a few days of stalking the watch online and coming up short with various methods of wedging in a discount, I finally stumbled across a slickdeals thread that explained if you can find a returned watch at your local Best Buy, you can use a 10% off coupon and get one for less than $200. I was stoked. Ready to buy my first smartwatch, I started checking inventory of my local stores.
All of the Best Buy stores near me had nothing in stock, not even a new one, but for some reason that day I decided to head there anyway. Once I entered the store, I realized I had no idea where to go. It wasn't a smartphone, it wasn't a tablet, and it wasn't in their fitness tracking device section. Where would they place this watch? After some quick guidance, I was led to a display. In the display was exactly one black and one silver Moto360. I played with the demo watches a few times. I picked up the box a few times. I put it on my wrist a few times. I even walked away. Twice.
My lunch hour was running short and so was my decision. I knew that even if I purchased this watch online, I would succumb to taxes. I took the plunge. I rushed back to the office with my purchase (and my cooling lunch) and hurried back to my desk. I ripped open the box (and my lunch) and almost immediately started charging it. I joked around with my friends on Lync about what my wife would say through all of this. I planned for the worst.
That night I kind of hid the watch by keeping my arm under the table. I could tell my wife was suspicious. I could feel her glaring at the watch to determine if she had seen it before. Finally upon putting my 4 y/o to bed, she demanded, "did you get a new watch?" I paused. I answered, "yup."
"How much was that?"
"I got a really good deal!"
The conversation kind of ended. I felt like I escaped unscathed. Not much else was said but I could tell I was being judged. Little did I know, my wife had no idea what I actually purchased. My kids figured it out before she did. Fast forward to the weekend. Pandora is streaming on the ChromeCast. I show the kids how I've got the images from the music playing on my watch. They think it's kind of neat but are not sure why. The wife walks in.
I get a glare. Then, a snide comment (and probably an eye roll). She's busy, so she moves along.
By this time I feel as she's figured out the situation. The watch doesn't come up in conversation again, until last night. I get an email on my phone and immediately check my watch. I read the email, then dismiss it.
"Did you just check something on your phone with your watch?"
"Yeah!"
"OMG, smartphones are ruining society, you don't have to be connected ALL THE TIME!"
It took my wife all of five days for her to realize what I had purchased and I now know to expect another snide remark about connectivity, etc. (while she's got her face buried in her Facebook).
LONG STORY SHORT, I LOVE THIS WATCH!

thanks, blow job.

Glad you're happy but please everyone:

jerks. where's the love?

Can anyone tell me how to get 4 minutes of my life back?

Sorry, but I think this may honestly be the only time that Twilight was a better love story.
It took four paragraphs to get to the hook, which is that you are whipped. Haha.

impossibru! Kristen Stewart is a troll and a determent to society! The Apple iWatch has more value than she does!

.... True, and I won't argue that fact.

I like your story 640k. I went into a Best Buyt thinking if they had one in stock I would buy one. Of course they had one left so I bought it. My wife came home later that night and I immediately told her I had bought a smartwatch. After a couple of questions she let me be.
Every now and then she sees me glance at my watch and swipe away a notification and says that is kind of cool.

I have a story. It's a short one.
This watch is rarer then rocking horse s**t! Ordered 1st October. Still awaiting stock.
The end.
