So, as everyone who was waiting for the Active Wear 2 to become available for pre-order so they could use their Note 10 credit has already found out.............that credit will not work on the new watch. A call to Samsung resulted in their usual shell game explanation that the watch was not available when the promo code was generated, so sorry you're just out of luck. Oh well, guess I'll just stick with my Moto 360's for as long as they hold out.
I got the Galaxy Fit and ear pods with it. Very happy.

Can't use the "rewards" money for things I want as well. Found out yesterday trying to use my $16 for the USB-c/3.5 mm adapter, it can only go toward the things like games, apps and some other overpriced junk from the Samsung store app.

It's not exactly bait and switch, but really not what these incentives appear at first glance.

I guess I'm lost. I look go to the SHOP app through the phone, found the AW2 (added the free wireless charger), and proceeded to Pre-Order.
Once on the Pre-Order page I pulled out my S-Pen and select "Have a promo or referral code?" A popup appears and I can enter my code there.
Now I'm not going to pre-order that watch but that should work. You might possibly have to ditch the free wireless charger as Samsung does not allow multiple discounts at once.

Still nothing, there is no promo code for rewards. They have a separate page for redeeming rewards where they show a limited number of items that you can "buy" for your points if you like those. No possibility to redeem in similar way as 'credit bonus' money. My bonus went into watch($150 + $200 out of my pocket) and I bought for $50 the S-cover.(reservation bonus) I tried to get that USB/headphone adapter for the points. That's OK, still have a few months to decide what to do with my $16 in points.
wait.. what samsung reward are we referring here?
I picked the items I wanted and then went to check out and then used the redeem option and it applied it to my order.
I got the 45W charger, galaxy buds, and the flip cover. I even used my Samsung points I saved up where the whole order I paid $2.13 for all of it.

I think it's a one time use code as well which sucks. If you dont use it all in one shot you lose whatever balance is left. I did it the 2nd way I suggested when I got the credit. I added the dongle and a 10,000mah battery pack to my cart in the Samsung Shop app and went back to my email. I then opened the link from the $150 credit email and got the kit that included the dual charger and another 10,000 mah battery pack. The dongle and other battery pack were in the cart still so I went to check out and it added the code for me since I used the email link I'm guessing. It's a bit confusing and if you contact Samsung support( a waste of time btw) they tell you the dongle isnt a part of the promotion. I wanted a blue S Pen for my Black Note 10 but they didnt have any.

I'm all set now, finally! They added that "pay with rewards" option to my checkout so I got the USB-C Headphone Jack Adapter for reward points.
But I spent about one hour "chatting and chatting" with several people who were patching me over to "more specialized team" to resolve my problem so am good now. Thanks!

Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.

Hi,
i dont understand the utility of nfc devices at home or work, as the video shows, i would just install llama, make a rule based on the cell antenas at your work and home ad you'll get the wifi/sound/bluetooth things on/off and free because i understood sony nfc devices were around 60 $/€ quite expensive for that kind of tasks
meh, bugger paying that much for them, just get some of the ntag203 stckers from rapidnfc.com.
they can be stuck anywhere, and they're about 65p each if you buy 10.
use it with the NFCTaskManager and Tasker, and they're pretty much nothing you can't get the phone to do with a tag.

I got some off eBay, quite a few for 5 Euro as far as I remember. Just check for compatibility, they usually mention conpatible with Galaxy Nexus, then it would work with other phones too.

Will probably enable the option of orders going out without tracking numbers,
however if this options is chosen, NFCzone can not be held responsible if the
postal service throws packages away. But I think we can trust that won't happen Receipts that the package was sent in the first place, can always be displayed on request.
But yeah, you're right it does seem a little silly to pay 22€ for shipment on an order for 10€ for example
Give me ½ an hour and check out the shipment costs again, champ

Flash version 8GB, 1GB RAM, OMAP4460. All is working except the micro-USB port which snapped off (it was simply cheaply soldered on with no other mounting, silly archos) It will require some soldering skills to fix as the connection points are pretty small, however it could easily be used for scrap parts. The screen retails for ~$50 USD, and it has a perfectly good working battery (only about a month old), 8gb NAND, motherboard RAM CPU etc. I figure $100 USD is fair. Includes shipping unless it'll cost more than say $20 bucks.

Still available if anyone wants. I may post to ebay however i have never sold on there before..
I am still interested, but still waiting to hear more info on the tablet screen operation and functions so I know it will fix my problem. If you get a valid offer from someone else before I determine the problem, go ahead and sell it. I did order a 2nd tablet from Newegg. I still want to fix this one for my son.

I bought a 2nd tablet, but I am still interested in yours. I know now the screen touch device chip is attached to the back of the screen, so a new screen would probably repair my old one. How long did you list it for on ebay?
Closed, You are only allowed to sell items in the marketplace
I can't find the power brick available on its own anywhere. I bought my Shield from the US and have been using a UK power adapter but now that adapter has broken and I would like to just buy a UK brick, or even just the interchangeable front plate.
You won't be able to, Nvidia have already said they don't sell replacement or spare power adapters for the Shield TV (see this thread), a quite remarkably stupid and ignorant policy in my opinion. They will, however, replace a faulty power adapter, and I've read at least one example of an individual not having to return the faulty one afterwards. Give it a go and get in touch with them.
EDIT -- On a side note, I bought my Shield from Amazon UK and it came with every type of adapter plate needed, including UK, Euro and US. I'm surprised your one wasn't similar.
That is really stupid, I want to use my shield sometimes during trips and my power supply is hidden in desktop, so taking it is pain in the ass. Maybe someone knows what kind of plug is used by nvidia? It would be enough to make new power supply, but I need name of the connector use and if it is possible to buy it.
edit: I no longer have my power brick for sale, I sold it last year.

If you ask nVidia customer support for a replacement they will give it to you for free.
You will be aksed for name/address/serial/place-and-date-of-purchase/model-number & a photo of the original box serial label.
They will accept 'I lost the reciept' and a completely BS place (Best Buy retail, WalMart, etc) and date of purchase, provided you have the rest of what they want.

I know this is an old thread, but I realized today that I was missing my supply and after hours of searching for one found this thread. I went to their site and opened a chat window and after providing exactly what you said they are sending me a new one for nothing. My reason was that I simply misplaced while housekeeping and could not find it anywhere! The lady I chatted with stated that I would probably have it within 4-5 days tops..... I hope that's true. I must have 50 5 and 12 volt supplies here, but as you well know there is nowhere that you can find that screwball power plug they use!
Thanks for the tip though....completely true!
Yep, my girlfriend was complaining about the high-pitched whine of our ShieldTV PSU, I got in touch with nVidia and they were very amenable and replaced it free of charge in less than 5 days. I didn't have to send back the old one. The new one is just as noisy unfortunately, but full marks for their customer service.

100% original from Nvidia themselves arrived yesterday.
Nvidia will send you one provided you send them a photo of your shield's serial. The claim will take a few days for approval, then once approved they'll fed ex it to ya. You can start the claim by speaking to an agent via chat.

I can confirm this. I have recently bought a unit without a power supply (I guess the previous owner lost it or burned it) and started the procedure with support over chat at Nvidia's site. Submitted all requested data via email (photo of serial included) and now I'm still waiting for approval (let's hope so). I'll report back as soon as I have some more information on the outcome.

If you bought it second hand, how did you get the serial number? I just bought one off ebay without a power supply and no box. I wasn't aware the serial number is not on the device itself. They still want the original purchase receipt. Am I SOL?

Purchase receipt is not an issue, and they only asked for an invoice when I opened up a chat yesterday. I got an invoice from Amazon and uploaded that for them. Not sure if they actually would check the serial number. They might. Otherwise you could try a picture from another forum member.
I don't think you are SOL. They only do a cursory check, so you should be able to make this work one way or another.
EDIT: They shipped the replacement through FedEx the very next business day (4/2/18). It'll arrive on the 5th.

My reason was that I simply misplaced while housekeeping and could not find it anywhere! The lady I chatted with stated that I would probably have it within 4-5 days tops..... I hope that's true. I must have 50 5 and 12 volt supplies here, but as you well know there is nowhere that you can find that screwball power plug they use!
Thanks for the tip though....completely true!

can you give me a little more info about what you did? i am in the same boat and i am trying to figure it out.
Nvidia Shield is the Best. I just purchased a Shield and the next day the cats bit through the power supply cord . I was worried but contacted customer service chat . The agent was great and with in minutes of sending my picture of box and receipt they are sending me a new one . I did not have to make up an excuse just the truth. WOW
So I think I should get a FTV Stick 4K Max. Mostly for the latest Bluetooth options available on them. I would like to trade in both my working Rooted Bootloader unlocked FireTV 1 devices for the 20% discount before the next 4K Max sale. But I am not sure if I should try the trade in process by sending in my TWRP rooted device as is (boots fine & used them as my current daily devices) or if anybody has yet to successfully unroot a TWRP flash FireTV 1 device ? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Also, how long do they give you to use the 20% discount ? Can you do two trades around the same time to get the discount on two new devices. Any info about how your trades went are appreciated.

Since the trade-in accepts also broken devices without a remote and other stuff, I guess it's too much of a hassle to do the unroot first...
Did the trade-in some time ago, also a bueller box, three bucks and 20% off for 'new' 4k devices (back then this was the cube and 4k-max). The whole process took ages, best is if you start the trade-in about 1,5 to 2 weeks infront of the sale...

No need to unroot before trading it in. Just make sure you wipe your data and you'll be good to go.
I don't know if you can have 2 active trade-ins at the same time, but I wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't do the second trade in until after you make the first purchase using the first trade in.
Some people get instant trade in credit, meaning you can use the discount immediately and mail the device after. There's no way to know if you'll get that until you fill out the trade in request.
Lastly, I'm expecting a new Cube to be released around October, if that changes your plans.

Good to know. Right now it shows they are still offering the same $3 + 20% off discount on a accepted working device. I plan to just send the device & remote. Do they require the power cord too ?? Amazon chat said two trade-in's should be fine around the same time. But not sure I trust them. I did copy over the chat incase I decide to do two close to the same time.
Maybe if the New Cube upped the storage to 32GB or above it might make a difference. I doubt most of the other specs will really get an increase. The RAM will probably still be @ 2MB. I actually own two FireTV 4K Sticks which I think are still on rootable FW. But they don't seem to be any hints of those ever getting the FireOS 7 update. Which is what I need to make my Bluetooth usage much simpler.
Does Amazon has Labor Day sales or ? Trying to do the trade in 3 weeks before the next possible sale.
Thanks for the quick reply...

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Do you remember if they asked for the power cord too or just the remote & box ??
It is still going for the same rate. $3 + 20% discount. Was told one can do more then one at time by Amazon chat but not sure I trust it. They where not sure how long they give you to use the % off credit. Wonder if there are labor day sales by Amazon or not.

There should be two questions about the condition and the parts at the trade-in page right after you've selected the fireTV model... I would select working condition = yes and accessories = no.

In my country it doesn't make any difference, all possible answers get the same discount, so I guess you can ship only the box in (like I did) and it will be fine.
I bet that the discount thing will not work (to buy two new fireTV devices), if you trade-in two old devices at the same time... maybe it's better to use two accounts.

I think the cube isn't worth the price.

Afaik the discount only works for 4 weeks or so, after the trade-in confirmation.
In my case the whole trade-in thing with shipping and confirmation took almost 2 weeks.
I guess 14 days infront a sale will be fine, if not you can annoy the support chat, they can give a discount too.
