A couple of PDA2ks for sale

So I got one from a friend for a few hundred, and it went weird on me 6 months later. Seems some moisture got into the 4-way switch and caused it to fail. So I went on eBay and got another (sure like this phone). It suffered the same fate. Seems a bead or two (maybe a gallon or two) of sweat rolled off my face on a hot day and it is what caused the malfunction. Also, I couldn't get the BlueTooth to work right. I have these two units for sale. Two charging cradles, a universal case. I think that's all I have. Anyone interested? First reasonable offer takes it all. Don't say 2 bucks or anything stupid, for I'll just ignore you and act like I never saw your post. These phones would be good for parts. The screens are good. The bodies have a few scratches and dings. The keyboards are okay looking, but fully functional.
Let's hear it....

25 dollars for one

How about 75 takes everything?

only need one. heck i got a working one on ebay for only 100

Lemme think about it a bit. You may have a deal on your hands, though. If we do this, you pay the freight?

absolutely

Might want to ask the source... I've done the same for Best Skins Ever, which I can't wait for... The damn Tilt 2 is slippery as a bar of soap.

That's the one I ordered. Says tilt2.
EDIT: Well I think it is. Thier site seems to have gone down while I was posting this.

The tilt2 doesn't show up under the AT&T manufacturer on the zagg website, but if you go to HTC and then, I think it is page 3 or 4 of the HTC phone model list the Tilt 2 is listed there.

From the looks of the diagram, there doesn't seem to be skin coverage for the chrome trim, which upsets me

I contacted BSE directly last week and had some back and forth emails with them. They were unaware that the tmo tp2 was different than Tilt2. They do not yet have a skin for tilt2.
I ordered one from Bodyguardz.com with a 10% coupon. I've never used them but heard decent things.

Interesting.. The person I spoke to clearly said they had one for the T-Mobile model but would have one for ATT/Sprint/Verizon in the next few weeks.

Got my invisishield in today. Will put it on tonight if I have time. Will update with impressions.

What are your impressions? Does it stick better than the one that came in the box? Stupid thing started to lift at the bottom within a two days for me.

It's sticking fine. No issues at all with lifting or peeling.
Seems to fit well, could be cut a little more accuratley (by hairs) but I think that is intentional to allow some user error in application.
It doesn't feel anywhere near as nice as the one that came in the box, much "stickier" to the touch when sliding your fingers around. Once you are used to it, it's fine though. I've got one small bubble on the back of it but all the mini bubbles that were on the front dried out after a couple days.
The biggest complaint, and not really a major concern of mine, is that it's got that rainbow streaking thing going on. If you aren't paying attention to it you don't notice it but when you do it really makes the amazing screen look very crappy. Most noticeably it shows up on the white at&t spalsh screen.

Motorola Rokr S9-HD Headset

Just picked up a pair of these Moto Rokr S9 HDs from buy.com $42.58 was my total shipped, but it varies slightly from seller to seller. http://www.buy.com/prod/motorola-mo...etooth-headset-new-oem-in-bulk/211822460.html
Received them today, and I must say that I'm impressed, especially for the price. Been wanting a pair for a while. Researched them for a while before deciding on these.(had heard bad things about the S10s) They pair easily with the Epic and sound great. The hands free activates Vlingo. I rarely use that. Got them mostly for streaming music They fit snug on my average size head and are really lightweight.

Be careful
I had the same ones until they were stolen/lost. They are awesome. I now have the next version. So, I do recommend them. My point of concern is DO NOT BUY THESE FOR CHEAP ON EBAY.
The guys at work loved them for working on there days off or running on the treadmill. You don't have to fumble for your phone and they are great for music.
But, one guy at work got a pair for 25 bucks on ebay and they were FAKE. The hologram sticker was not the same and it had differences you could tell when you held two of them up close. They worked but the quality was far worse. So, be warned. I can personally confirm there are fakes out there. I would think buy.com is safe though.

+1 for the S9-HDs. Best bluetooth set I've ever owned. My cat destroyed mine and I replaced them with the S10s but they suck in comparison. not nearly the same sound and much more bulky. If you're on the fence, get the S9s.
as a note, my opinion is based strictly on music quality. I rarely use my headset for phone calls, but they both perform perfectly when I do.

I love the motorola s10-hd. I had a pair a while back with my og epic but they did not funtcion correctly so I sold them. they function 100% with epic touch though!
Ive got 4 pair for sale if anyone is interested. Brand new, factory sealed, 100% genuine. Im asking $45 shipped

I prefer the rocketfish ones. Same price

I have seen them for $20 a while ago from a legitimate on line store but can't remember. It may have been a post on Slickdeals.
I had the S9Hds, just don't sweat with them on. Eventually the buttons will stock working. 3 months and the buttons stopped working because the sweating.

I picked up a pair of the LG HBS-700's:
http://www.amazon.com/LG-HBS-700-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B0052YFYFK
Cannot recommend them enough. Great for running, great for office... The neck thing vibrates when you get a call, and the battery gets me through a day at work with no issues.

+1 for the LG HBS-700's The S9's always hurt my ears and the signal would cut out with the phone in my pocket.

I got them here on sale...29.99 38ish shipped
http://www.bluetoothtronics.com/lg-hbs700-hbs-700-stereo-bluetooth-headset-p-840.html
OH and the s9s hurt my head too. (medium sized head, not bulbous) So THANKS for the tip on these!

I had a pair of the previous model and they are NOT IN ANY WAY sweat-proof. A little moisture and they go haywire.

I got about 3 weeks use out of mine until the controls stopped working. Good luck and don't use them when exercising, sweat kills them fast.

i've had my S9 headset for over a year, used it with my epic and now my touch, no complaints, great sound.

Yeah, I love mine so far...

I bought the Official Protective Case from Oppomart. It was no good! See this post i made a while ago.
This was from August 9. I'm still waiting for a replacement (they didn't have the one i bought so i'm waiting for a Clear Case now).
Also, the tracking numbers they sent me do NOT work!
Their response system is rubbish, even though they always respond back. Their answers do not really help...
To conclude, i think you should buy your accessories from eBay or something else. Not Oppomart.
Good luck!

damn.... that was really a big help! thank you for that! :good:

No prob... I wish i had better news :/

I got a case from there. Love it. Even switched back to it after using the diztronic.

.... I bought 3 cases, they travelled just 15 days from Singapore to Italy, they are good quality, one BEPACK ad 2 AIUXAN, nothing bad to say ....maybe I've been lucky ?
who knows .....

i bought a nillikin glass screen protector, a pelosi case and the official one plus clear case. it got to me in about a week, and all were good quality.
i have heard some people complain of the one plus case, but mine has been great. no cracking issues after three weeks.

So on the Oppomart replacement case. It's been a initially 2 months since i initially bought the case. After they agreed to refund me if the 3d tracking number didn't work in 7 days time (that was on 1st September), in September 8 I sent a new message informing them on the subject and requested my rightful refund. But no, today (9/9) they declined it again and sent a new tracking number that works for the moment. However, I'm done waiting. I told them that if the case is not here in 7 days i will escalate. I do not trust them anymore (not that I ever did). By 18/9 the time period left for me to escalate is over.
So a good shop is shown when things go sideways. They failed!!
Please guys, do not do business with them. You never know when someone is gonna "play" you!
PS. For everyone now knowing what this is about, please refer to my previous posts.
Good luck!

i never buy an accesory from the official store

I bought the original flip cover and everything went right

Of course they will be customers that bought something and everything went according to plan guys.
That's not the point...

I bought a red aixuan and a green original case from oppomart they both came in an excellent condition in about 12 days in Europe from China

I did to, after a couple of weeks the plastic cracked.

I'd bought the official clear hard shell case for my first OPO from Oppomart but I'd sold the phone before it arrived. However, I got my new OPO yesterday and it fits fine - not loose, clips into place nicely and although it doesn't give a lot of support it's enough for me along with an official screen protector. I'm happy

I bought two case but only one has arrived. The case description said it was leather but turns out to be plastic. It fits well but looks cheesy SKU E0036

I bought case on September 4th and today is October 1st and till now I did not receive the shipment I tried to contact them 3 times and no one responded so go figure, what kind of business people they are.

Ear speaker static

We are on our second Moto Z2 Force. The first one had a pretty bad feedback/squeal and static in the ear piece. The rep at Best Buy heard it too and swapped the phone out right away. The second phone doesn't have the squeal that the first one had, but it still has a static in the background as a phone conversation happens. It is quite low but it is always there. It's as if the gain is up too high. Anyone else notice this static in the background??
(I also have a Note 8 and a LG V20 that are totally silent when on a call).
EDIT: My daughter reports it on hers too and especially with the headphone dongle plugged in and not playing music. I sense a 14 day return window transaction coming up.... Phone is awesome otherwise!

YES!! And I've only had this phone for a few days. Please allow me to share a post I made on another forum

Greetings everyone,
As of yesterday evening I'm a new and first time owner of a Motorola smart phone (I came from the lg v20). Prior to that a Samsung...so I'm wondering if my issue is something I should be seriously concerned with or if it can be fixed in an update considering it's something I've never had to deal with before.
To get to the point my speaker phone whether I'm on a call or using the GPS is making a crackling sound and its slightly annoying. It doesn't happen AT ALL when I play music on full blast. My phone is the US ATT model. Is this something that could be fixed with an update or should I swap it asap ? Thx
As far as the replies go to that post 3 out of 4 people have the exact same issue. Some on T Mobile.
I went in to the ATT store yesterday and even the demo unit was doing it.

Interesting. Looks like my wife and girls want me to return these and go with a Pixel2. They'll keep their old phones until they arrive. It's unfortunate as Moto's are great phones. They came from the Droid Turbo and Droid Turbo 2. It's totally a defect in manufacturing. Maybe the QC needs to be increased at the factory to not let these defective units out. I'm also betting that not all Moto Z2's share this problem.

Definitely not all of them. I think we would hear a lot more about it if so.
It is a shame because I really like this phone and have three mods on the way....smh

My wife and daughter love the slim battery mod by the way. They were set to get the projector mod too. I'm going to see if Best Buy minds swapping the phones again. (My daughter hasn't swapped but my wife is on her second). I'd like it if she could keep it since she's very familiar with the Droid family. We'll see later today when we drop by...

Has anyone else tried the headphones with the music muted or off?

I can confirm this intermittent crackling on the speaker in one of two of my force devices. It's a driver issue, as it only happens "sometimes". I too, have the scratchiness when using the output dongle.
I wouldn't recommend this device, till they release an update.
I bought mine for teens, so small issues like this don't really matter. But if this is your main device, and you plan on using it for multimedia (music, YouTube on speaker etc), might want to wait.
It's a shame since it's a pretty cool device

ive been noticing this as well, hoped it will be fixed in an update or custom rom, but if the consensus is hardware i might be screwed and will just have to deal with it
it is intermittent, i dont hear it every time i make a call but it does pop up now and then. dont hear it when playing music

i hope it is a software issue... I'm on my 3rd Z2 and I don't really want to get a 4th, each time I am dropping $25 on a screen protector

For all of you having problems
I created a topic on the official Motorola Lenovo forums that has mod attention. I'd appreciate if you could put your input into the conversation so we can get this resolved.

only 2 problems really...
first one would not connect to voicemail, tried different, sim, etc. Wouldnt connect. Tmo replaced it.
2nd was fine except the group text issue, I just fell for the Note 8 hype.
didn't like the note, jumped back to the Z2 Force for the $500 deal.
so that gets us to the 3rd Z2 Force.
This one still has the group text issue, is stuck on the june security patch, and gets that static noise.
it is possible the other 2 had the static, I dont use the actual phone part much. But the other two got updates to be on August

For the group text issue, consider using the signal messaging app. It's more secure, which is great, but it enable all messaging actions perfect.
The speaker and USB-C audio scratchiness is just a nature of the device I think. It's bothersome on both my devices.
I do hope that software fixes it, as the $500 + FREE projector, really is an awesome deal.

That is the price of the Verizon Flexible Glass Display Protector.
I had it on last year's Z Force Droid and I never had a problem. I have read forums on these devices here, Reddit, AndroidCentral, Moto forum, etc.
and i dont think I've read a complaint on the Verizon Flexible Glass Display Protector. For every other screen protector, it seems like a mixed bag of reviews.
so if it works, and i like it, $25 is no big deal.. having to buy a 4th one on the other hand.... that's pretty brutal

I understand you can take the old screen protector off and exchange it when you get the new phone. That's what I did.

Any cure?
