Hi,

The bundle includes:
1x HTC Universal - fully working with Windows Mobile 6.1, unlocked. Navigating system TT v6 with UK maps
1x 1GB SDcard included
1x extended battery
2x normal slim battery. (one original, does not hold the charge for long, other from ebay, quite good)There are 3 back covers as well. (the extended makes the device thicker)
1x Leather case (the unit fits in with the slim battery, with the extended if you force it, maybe)
1x spare stylus
1x cable
1x wall charger
1x Not used screen protector
1x Dismounted old housing. (the top part is scratched, that is why I changed it from this silver to new black one)
I will attach a picture as well. Probably on monday.
The bundle all together is for 140 Pounds or nearest offer.

As we all know the SGS3 is the same across the board physically and I set out to get some accessories day 1.
I'm with T-Mobile and they had some screen protectors the day I bought it and nothing else.
I then went to VZW and they only had some gloss purple cases and the multimedia dock. Got the multimedia dock.
I wanted a case with a kickstand so I then set off for AT&T and got the casemate (white/grey) with kickstand - fits pretty good. AT&T also had this screen protector that came in pebble blue and white - and its supposed to be bubble free and last the life of the phone (i-zig or something). Looked pretty slick on the Galaxy Note.
I haven't been to Sprint yet but plan to stop there soon.
So what have you found and bought?
Why are u buying accessories at the phone retail store?
Whatever u found at ATT retail store, you can found on amazon for half the price.
Just because, the fact that I can walk out and just get it when I want it makes it happen for some people.
Update!
So I was pleasently surprised when my phone with the Casemate case (from AT&T) on would fit into the multimedia dock from VZW. I was apprehensive at first due to my experiences with my HTC Sensation having a case on not being able to fit into HTC docks for the Thunderbolt.
No such issue (so far) for the SGS3.
A side note - I am guessing it was done on purpose but the SGS3 is heavily borrowing from HTC IMO with the lockscreen launch apps and the dock mode that kicks in automatically when you dock your device.
It just dawned on me to give the SGS2 a twirl on the mmdock... be back after charging.
Success! The Multi-Media Dock works for the SGS2. When docked it will present multiple options if available. For me it was "Clock" and "TuneIn Radio Pro".
"Clock" is "dock mode" Once plugged into the USB port audio will come out the backside through the "line-in" to whatever stereo/speakers are plugged in. This also means if you have a home theater you can plug it into that for the SGS2/3 and I'm even going to assume the Note.
The one down side to the SGS2 is that it WILL NOT fit with BodyGlove kickstand case snapped on. Suckage...
What I would like to see next is a true Multi-Media Dock that has a HDMI port built in so you can plug it into your TV all while being docked.
Hi, I am thinking about buying a SXS and I found a dark silver version (http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2012/08/13/the-sharpest-hd-smartphone-display-xperia-s/) at local internet shops.
Looks pretty good to me, but I do not find this color version on sonymobile.com / sony shop. Is this an special and rare version?
So I am insecure about replacement parts, when they should be needed some day. Like the back cover, antenna cover, usb cap in silver?
Does anyone has experiences about wear and tear?
btw, does anybody know if silver version has nano coating, too?
BTW, this are the kind of horror pictures I paint in my mind:

Hi everyone, I've FINALLY received this case from AliExpress:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs...Soft-back-case-for-LG-G-Pad-8/1532446130.html
As promised, here's a YouTube Video Review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0AN_YhXpw
TL;DR verdict: It's cheap, it's black, and overall it works well. Fit is solid, all ports work out (except the SD card slot, which is covered - but that's hardly a dealbreaker), and it doesn't add any significant weight. Does not interfere with the speakers.
Would buy, but not from AliExpress. No fault to the vendor (who was pleasantly responsive to my inquiries), but on eBay you can now pick it up for $6 CDN shipped.
Thanks for reading and watching!

Fellow Canuck here who bought the tablet in the USA at bestbuy. Where did you get yours?
Have you tried to use the remote? Seems only US cable providers are listed. Same for you?

Mine was also sourced from the States as Newegg in Canada didn't have it at the time, Best Buy here STILL doesn't, and $259 USD on sale was worth the trouble of getting it brought up here by a family member.
The Quick Remote app DOES work on my Telus cable setup. I used the AT&T option and it works just fine. I don't know if Rogers, etc. would work, but one of the options just might be an equivalent. Good luck!

Ah, so you're out East.. I don't think Vidéotron equipment is any different than those used in the States, nor would it be unique to Quebec or wherever you are. I suggest just going through the available selections and see if one works for you. That's what I did.

Will do. You ate on cable or satellite? What is the make If the cable box

Telus digital cable. I'll check the make of the box, but honestly the best thing is to cycle through the available options in the Q Remote. I found AT&T compatibility within two minutes, though to be fair I went alphabetically.

Did that and found 2cable companies that worked. Weird that thistablet still has not been released in canada where lg traditionally sells well.I imagine there will need to be a Canadian version of the lg software to include Canadian cable companies. Right now there are 3versions of the firmware. A,C,E. Am guessing it's American Europe and China.

By the way how it's your battery life.that and the little blue line are my only issues and they are not enough for me to consider returning this tablet. Had a nexus 7 2013 model beforewhich had brighter screen but I lost it forgetting it on the airplane. Having a note 3I felt the nexus 7was too similar in size. This is the perfect size for a tablet. Wish there were more accessories. Bought the ivso case and will use that when I need to but prefer it caselessSri if they ever had a case cover like the iPad mini would love that

Drifting from topic, but my battery life is about the same as most reviews. I haven't put it through any rigorous testing, but when watching movies or YouTube on the unit it holds up any two hours in a row that I'd need it, I have it plugged in while at my desk at work, and standby time is awesome. I noticed the blue line, but I had to look really, REALLY hard for it so in practice it's not an issue for me. No appreciable light bleed either. I use it indoors so brightness isn't a huge issue, but for the list price it should have been brighter.
This is a keeper for me - I'm keeping this case as well and may get the IVSO in Red when it becomes available on Amazon.ca in a couple months. I miss a cover for the actual screen on this thing, but as long as I'm not outside or traveling (I *do* travel for work, so we'll see in the long run) this will do just fine.

Hey guys,
Nice review Mark! I was looking to get a silicon case quickly and this was the cheapest to do that so I got one from eBay, shipping from Germany to the UK and it's already been dispatched so should be here next week sort of time. I got it in red and will have some photos up when it arrives.
The VOIA case looks nice but, I will see how this one turns out before I get that guy, I have done the whole folding cover thing with the N7 and they never got used so I will stick with silicon this time around
Tom.
No worries Toyface! I've had the TPU case for a week now and have already taken it on a business trip with me. I find it unobtrusive and very comfortable to hold in one hand, with the grippy texture on the back. The volume and power buttons are not tougher to use at all. I've even gotten used to the fingerprints on the shiny parts. The ONLY downside is that on some of the USB plugs I've used since the video, some of them do deform the rubber on the lip a little. I doubt this will be a long term issue though, it springs right back when I unplug it.
On real-life bumps: when the tablet slid off of a chair during an airplane landing (my bad, it was sitting on my coat and fell off as the plane was braking), it landed face down and had no damage. Incidentally, my headphone jack was plugged in and while the jack was bent, the tablet was undamaged and kept working with the earphones. Point LG!
Finally, when I carry this thing around outside, I use a slipcase for an old Acer netbook. Not the most ideal shape, and I may get a more form-fitting one eventually, but it works. It's to the point where I may not get the IVSO / generic flip case after all, as this is working just fine for me.
Please post some pics of your red version when you get it!
Mark
So, my case arrived a couple of days ago. Post from Germany to England was very good and the eBay seller (phonenatic) was pretty great really.
So far,I think the case is pretty good, but I hate the color. It's supposed to be red, but in reality it's more pinkish than anything else. Cutouts are all good (as you see in the photos) and it has thick lip around the screen so landing flat shouldn't be too bad there. This one came with two screen protectors, I fitted one then removed it a day later, I just hate screen protectors. it was very easy to get on there though.
Tom.
Thanks for posting those pics! You're right, with the white version of the G Pad in there the red is muted somewhat to look more pinkish... I'm wondering if it'd look darked with a black version in there.

Hello, I am interesting in buying this phone, but i have some questions:
1. Which style shell is in the box? (Ive seen black, red and wooden ones... How to know which one is in sealed box)
2. Is it better white one or black one? Any difference?
3. Is it better single sim or dual sim? Any difference?
1. Black Nylon in Germany
2. I think black
3. Dual Sim -> To use two sim cards
I got the wooden one. I thought you can choose which one to get?
The white one is going to show all the sensors (black dots in the front) so black one is better imo.
Dual sim is better
Im so confused for style shells, I mean would like to have wooden one out of the box... Is there any way to check which one you will get based on your region or phone model?
Asking about colors (even i prefer black) because i saw on reviews that black ones are fingerprint magnets, while white ones are not, and asking about dual sim - single sim to check from you guys who brought it, if its there any differences spec wise.
Thanks for replying
In Mexico we get the Red Nylon shell, it's pretty awesome but it gets very dirty very fast.
Up in the great White North (Canada) phone, charger and nothing else, no moto shell, no data cable, zippo f**k you Rogers.
Good luck finding moto shells here as well, the f**king idiots at all the cell stores look at you like man what the f**k is a style shell. Finally after going to 10 stores and look at all the f**king crap for Icrap and Sucksung, I finally found the wood and leather style shells. Oh and it gets better, I can order it form Amazon for that amazing price of $ 100 bucks , f**k you Amazon

What are you going on about? $15-20 (USD) from Amazon
US (GSM unlocked) model came with a Grey "oak" style shell and charger. That's all. I got it directly from Moto website.

I have no issue finding the style shells, Telus and Koodo stores carry them as does Wireless Wave.
Some cases replace the style shell, I don't use mine. It was black for a black Z Play (like already mentioned, in Germany).
Regarding question 2: The difference between the black and the white version is - of course - the color. If you don't compare Chinese black 64GB dual SIM against European 32GB single SIM

I have two options
Motorola Z Play 32GB Dual EU black or white, box is sealed so buyer opens it first, and I dont know what to expect.
I used motorola milestone, moto x and now want to buy z, the thing is they are not so popular in here, but i like them and they served me well, they didnt advertise so much until moto z and people are used to eg iphone or samsung... People under rate them just because they dont want to admit that they wasted 1000$ on something which they could spent 400$
1)
In Brazil, the box has:
Red nylon shell.
Earphones.
Turbo charger.
USB C cable.
2)
Black. I don't like white phones. The only diff is the color.
3)
Dual SIM.
Works fine with only one SIM.
Dual Sim.
My Verizon device came with the wooden one. I bought a blue Incipio one for $20.
I just found out that phones are from Germany, so black one have black back and white is still unknown
My white retgb bought in UK has black nylon style shell

Rogers/Telus/Koodo should all have the same deal in the box.
Turbo A/C wall charger (no USB data cable) and a sim tray key. No shell/skin. I wouldn't doubt it if future phones stop including the wall charger and sim tray key, and expect customers to buy those separately, too.
I've been holding off for the Nougat update before I start using the phone (because I want to unlock bootloader and root, and don't feel like doing it in Marshmallow, then all over again in Nougat). By now I've received most of my online orders for accessories:
* Flip case (one arrived, the other one still on its way)
* screen protectors
* camera lens sticker from GadgetShieldz (supposed to reduce the chance of the back camera glass from cracking should the phone drop)
* USB micro to type C adapters (so I can use a spare data cable)
Most accessories arrived before the Nougat OTA. I ordered the phone on boxing day and the accessories shortly afterwards.

At least they gave use the Turbo charger but Moto does that on all their Canadian branded phones, absolutely no accessories, my moto x and moto x play same thing.
Bye the way you can flash my Nougat rom, works fine on all moto z play's, we'll be the last to receive Nougat.

I figured just as well. Just that I'm in no rush. Currently using a Moto X Play. I rather wait for the Telus/Koodo tkpca software channel to release the OTA, unless Telus goes out of business. That'll leave me with minimal steps to do nandroid backup and then root.
