call customer service that's what i went through to get mine and it comes in like 1-2 days

I tried customer service and they said they were sold out as well. I called around to the local Verizon stores and on the second store they had one even though the first store checked and said no one did. That would be your best bet on finding one.

Really happy I jumped on the battery *****ing bandwagon and got mine for free

Android central and htcpedia had them yesterday

Androidcentral says they'll have it 'around 5/27', htcpedia is over charging by $10..not going for that.

mobilecityonline is backordered till the 8th but just another website to check out if the other ones are back ordered too. i got mine few days ago and paid for regular shipping and ended up getting it in 3 days haha pretty fast shipping

Verizon had them available online last night...it's just a matter of getting lucky and checking at the right time.
I got lucky and found one on eBay for $40.

I ordered one from tech support yesterday, the local store couldn't find one.

I was watching the VZW extended battery page for the better part of 3 weeks every morning noon and night. They had them in last monday and I jumped on it and bought one. Free 2 day shipping and got it with my employer discount. It's nice.
Had it on wireless tether (last day), from roughly 1pm to 9pm. phone just died a few minutes ago. now im charging it before work tomorrow. Definitely makes a difference.

Verizon website now shows it available. I just ordered 1.

Glad I didn't order it from Androidcentral.

Working on Chrome. I'm able to add it to my cart just fine.
Hint: use code BAT30 to save an additional 30% (working as of this post, not sure when it's going to expire/end).

Yikes...wish I knew about the 30% off code before I ordered...ah well.

Just got mine for 38 dollars off verizon

Got one when I first got the TB, and thankfully I did! Sounds like it is quite a pain to find an ext bat!

At first I thought it was a typo.........

.........then I checked all his items for sale and it turns out the seller has several Evo cases on sale.
FOR $10,000 EACH?
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-JORD...560552?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb3793468
Wtf? For that price, you'd think shipping was included, but there's an extra $3 charge for that.

I sent him a message asking him if that was the actual price. Interesting stuff on ebay lately.
This will go good with my new limited edition oreo evo

I thought about asking him about the price. Now that I think about it, he could have copied the listing several times over to add several cases and not noticed the price.

I sell auto parts on eBay. I see this all the time because normally people don't have these items in stock so they put up at high price rather then deleting the whole post. This way the item is always listed and they can fix the price once there inventory gets updated.

That makes sense. I would still make a note on the auction saying "Out of stock; price will be updated to $xx.xx once stock arrives." or something along those lines. That way anyone interested would still add the item to their watch list.

I would probably give him $9000 for it, but not $10000. its all scratched up around the rim of it.
dude is smoking.
Id say $8500 is tops he will get for that thing

Here's their response:
Thank you for your question. this
item is currently out of stock. we
will remove the high price once we get
them in stock, we will never
sell a phone case with that kind of
ridiculous price. sorry for the
confusion. I will let you know when we get
it. what do you think?
out of stock was correct

Usb Jig

Who was the British seller on xda that was selling the usb jigs please?

why are u insisting on a British seller there are many who are selling them

It was just the one i had seen on ebay, the ones i searched for earlier were from hong kong and 30+ days postage. Im not bothered who makes it and not discriminating, just worded wrong

i got one from peartek on ebay, works brilliantly

cadguy thanks for that just bought one £4 from ebay

I really want one (from the UK) that allows payment other than PayPal, I don't have an account and for £4 not really worth signing up for. I normally pay by debit card when buying from eBay shame can't do the same with this. Anyone have a spare they want to sell me? Thanks

im gonna buy one to reset the custom kernel count, will get it from ebay..

I got mine from Amazon, free two day shipping (gotta love Amazon Prime, totally worth it if you buy a lot). Received it today, and it works great. Got it for $9.99 US.

Hi all!
I have several self made USB JIGs for sell.
I'm from Portugal but can post to anywhere, if requested.
If you are interested, please contact me by PM or by e-mail [email protected]
I'm also selling on ebay, if you request, I will sent you my ebay ID.
Regards

Magnetic wireless charging car dock - $65

Just found this on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Synergy-Vehic...id=1386012232&sr=8-15&keywords=qi+car+charger for $65, I just put in a preorder.
It looks pretty good, and there is a video on Amazon. Does anyone know the company? What do you think?

Posted a few times now. Not going to be produced. The inventor tried Kickstarter but failed to meet the goal required. Not sure why it is still listed on Amazon.

Looks clunky...but most of the car chargers are.

How does the phone attach? With the nano-suction material (the "special foam" they list)
My only concern, is it's meant to mount to your windshield. You get in a car accident, do you really want a 1.5 lbs of metal flying around in the car ready to knock you out?

Damn that sucks, I found the kickstarter page and there they are listed for retailing for $95, with early backers being able to get it for $75, while Amazon has it listed for $65. That makes me think that the Amazon page is more recent or has been updated at least. So there may still be hope, I just emailed the founder and asked if the project was still alive and for an ETA.

This is illegal.
Anyway, yes they can but will they is the question
Blacklisted devices sent with the DSN identifies the device. In addition, the RFID chip in the device (used for stock and asset management) which identifies the Amazon account used and the serial number when scanned in Amazon Warehouse will be compared with the device's serial number with the DSN on box. If mismatch - suspicion will arise, they can remotely blacklist the other device as well using the Amazon account details from the RFID (which is how they come dispatched from Amazon with your account already logged in).
I do not know if the RFID is present or configured on devices from retail stores. But heck, they'll compare the DSN of RFID and Box and then list all accounts associated with that.
However, do they actually do this? Hell no, the workers are paid little and couldn't be asked as there is more ludicrous amounts of fraud going on.
From what I know, this is present on the Fire Tv 4k. Not too sure about other devices, the remote controls also contain the RFID.

Fire Stick is under foam on the plastic
This is all speculation on how they blacklist devices and I believe it's all to do with the asset management rfid tags. If bought from Amazon, they also have the DSN of the order details and will compare with the RFID. For retailers, who knows.
But for sure - yes they can find out easily. Will they? Well, there have been a couple of blacklisted devices so probably, depending if a retailer will submit rma to them or third party centres.
