[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
The situation with Mobile phones Direct has been a little misleading. I expected the worst due to HTC announcing stock issues, so i'm not too bothered BUT:

Ordered the phone 20th March with a " Delivery in 8 days " sign counting down.

Then it changed and was " Delivery in 6 working days " counting down... Then it suddenly shot to a lower number during last week.

Then they blamed the bank holidays ( which probably has caused issues to some extent ).

Then the other day ( this is the best bit ) " Order now for next working day delivery ". ( Which is a bit of a " f**k you " to all pre-order customers )

I ordered on the 20th, and they haven't got enough stock to even supply me so how are they going to supply someone who orders on the 28th.

If I was in charge of the company, I'd sack whoever sanctioned that notice on the site, because clearly they knew they would't be able to fulfill any orders made towards the very end of March.

I call it misleading and also shooting themselves in the foot, because now, all you'll see on review sites is " Promised next day delivery, had to wait weeks. Not happy ", blaa blaa.

Why companies do this to themselves is beyond me. Its like they're prepared to sacrifice company stature, for a few extra sales....... of which, most will probably cancel their order due to being given wrong information.

Hi, maybe you guys should try Phones4U. I've ordered mine (black one) at friday (29/03) as an upgrade to Vodafone contract and an hour ago they send me an email with tracking number. So I'll should have my phone tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] silas184:
And now from the twitter account of Mobile Phones Direct @Mobile_Gossip

Delivery Announcement- HTC have delayed the One until next week. All order should ship to customers within 10 days. Sorry for the delay. MPD

Tweeted at 10.22 April 2nd

Whereas my email was at 12.32, so your guess as to actual delivery is a bit like choosing the winner in a six horse race!
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Is that the first batch that's been delayed or the second ?

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Not for 35 odd a month, Sorry mate too much for me. I'm gonna be payin 26 and i get the benefit of using T Mobile and Orange masts which I know feed strong signal by me.

I'll wait it out and hope i get one from a nice revised batch of goodens lol.

Just reminding myself of why it is I've waited 37 days for this phone and still counting . . . . . .

^^^^^^ this. Cannot beat online prices. Normally a good 10 pounds a month cheaper. I find it easier to look at physical phones in store and then buy online in the comfort of my armchair. No vultures/salesman trying to sell me something he knows less than me about for an inflated price.

Just hope I get a good one too. Fortunately keeping my E3D as backup in case I need to send it back. Had to send back 3 Sony XPlays last year so not scared to do it. It is a pain in the rear though
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
As someone rightly said , I'll burn through all MPD's stock until I get a perfect one lol.
[One (M7) General] sam-man:
Just called affordable mobiles, was told that no stock came in yesterday.

They're expecting stock either today or tomorrow and should be dispatched as soon as it arrives.

So Friday it is then.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
So now they're not even delivering 1st batch of 100 till Friday ? Mine will be lucky to get here by Christmas at this rate.

Edit sorry, Mis read your post. However this thread is kinda titled Mobile phones direct......
[One (M7) General] sam-man:
Yes it is but if you read the whole thread you'll realise it has Affordable Mobiles mixed in.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Pity the title doesn't either, I think they call that hijacking ? lol.

I'm not being a ****..... " Just saying " !
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Just checked my account and the 30 upfront payment has been taken, so assume I will receive the phone this week(praying anyway). This is on affordable phones. The reason for the mixed companies is because a couple of us originally ordered on MPD and them cancelled and reordered on AM.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
I stayed away from AM cause I was told they were some dodgy company lol. Probably not true but still.
[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:
Affordable Mobiles yesterday claimed that handsets had come in but couldn't guarantee next day delivery. Now they say no handsets come in yesterday at all?

Not the first time a company promises stock is/has arrived and it doesn't, so I'll not ditch my order just yet!

It's clear the only reliable place to get a One is Phones4U, but they don't do Three. Three have got silver now but still no black til end of month.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
As I said above somewhere, it seems companies are willing to sacrifice business reputation for a few extra sales on the false pretense of next day delivery, which is clearly a load of bullcrap.

I mean. MPD are now stating 8 days for the HTC One in silver.... I bet in 8 days, there will be some unfortunate delay in stock and i'll have to wait some more.

Could someone actually confirm once they get their device from MPD ?
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Wife got her GS3 from them, no hassles at all. Was a quick and painless transaction. any delays should be blamed on HTC, however I do agree that companies should be upfront about the delays, as should HTC.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Yeah, it would save all the negative reviews that people give when they're fed wrong information.

I trust they're having genuine issues with HTC but as you say, a little bit of blunt honesty would be nice.
[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:
Yesterday Affordable Mobiles stated In Stock but please allow 24 to 48 hours for delivery. Now they are stating out of stock, with stock due week of 8th April.

Has anyone who ordered prior to yesterday received a dispatch email or even the phone?
[One (M7) General] silas184:
Positive movement today as far as I am concerned - status now: Pending - Dispatched and Awaiting Connection (sic)

Probably means waiting for post office van collection.

And corresponding email received - no post office tracker number as yet.

Could be here tomorrow on the 39th day since pre-order.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
This from MPD ?

I assume you ordered yours real early so are going to get one from their 1st 100 delivered units ?
[One (M7) General] sam-man:
Just spoke to AM again and was told no stock now expected till next week,

They said they received an email from HTC this morning of the delay.

This is just getting ridiculous now.
[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:
Had a look at the comments on their Facebook page since I posted above. Seems they have said that they were expecting stock today, and also some at the end of the week, but cannot guarantee this, so are stating next week.

These retailers need to stop giving customers false hope by pushing the release date back by just a few days. Only serves to annoy customers who have already ordered, while at the same time adding new customers to the pile on the assumption that shipment is just a few days away.

If they cannot get a fixed date or even an allocation from their suppliers then they shouldn't be making dates up!

I ordered as the site said there was stock and shipment to be expected within 48 hours. I didn't want to preorder which is what I have effectively done now they have had no stock! :(
[One (M7) General] silas184:
Mobile Phones Direct Pre-order Feb 25th

Later, 21:25 April 3rd Confirmation Email that it is on its way by Parcelforce for tomorrow!
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Not a dispatch note but they have now deducted the £30 upfront payment and T-Mobile have deposited and credited £2 so it looks like some movement. What that exactly means I have no idea but hoping it means phone is imminent. Affordable Mobiles - I will start a new thread for us.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
I'm in the same boat mate.

IMO, if the shops aren't sure when or IF delivery is coming, then why make up " delivery in 8 days or whatever " like MPD are doing.

As your rightly say, it's just pissing a load of people off.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Just to add; It seems to me as though major companies are getting 1st dibs on stock and the smaller outlets are struggling to meet demand.

I''ll still not go with CPW or P4U because of price. Simple as that. If they were as competitive as MPD or AM, then they'd have a lot more sales on their hands.

I think this whole stock issue is bad for these small outlets, of course, it's not their fault i know, but it might cost them sales.

HTC are probably shooting themselves a " new One " (Pun) aswell, because people will just cancel their order. Some people might even say " F**k it, I might aswell wait for S4 if it's gonna be this long.

I wont do that personally but, HTC want to pull their finger out and deliver some stock fast before they lose lots of phone orders.
[One (M7) General] _JM_:
I thought we were promised an update email from MPD yesterday? so much for that.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Too true.

and I quote.....

" However, if you have placed your order after the 13th March, we will send an email daily with any further information or update no matter how small. "

So much for that then..... I'd phone them but i'm shooting off out shortly.

Any chance of you asking them when their next batch is likely....... Come to think of it, have they even had that 1st 100 units delivered ?
[One (M7) General] _JM_:
Well lets see if anyone receives theirs today, if not then il get on the phone to them tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Yeah... Tenner says the " 7 days delivery " notice on their site is extended after it ticks down.
[One (M7) General] silas184:
The HTC One does exist and mine arrived

Just to let those patiently waiting (reminder my pre-order with MPD was Feb 25th)

mine and my sons at two different addresses - note to those expecting today delivery was by DPD not Parcelforce

I was lucky that I left detailed note on door when I was out and a container tucked away.

he took my signed note and left parcel - only smallish box - from the pics on net it looks massive.

Quality absolutely first class build quality - no gaps scratches or anything - turns on.

Now to put sim in!!!

Keep the faith it feels and looks gorgeous, you at the back forget changing to Samsung 4 you'll regret it.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Good news :) Hope mine is perfect. Enjoy mate. Is it as good as expected or better ?
[One (M7) General] _JM_:
Update- mine now says "pending-network credit check decision" hmmm interesting
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
You'll prob get yours soon then. Mines still Pending Pre Order and i ordered on 20th March.

Whats even more interesting is the site " again " says, Order now for next working day delivery WTF ?
[One (M7) General] filbertos:
Just got an email saying mine has been 'moved to dispatch' and should be with me next working day. I ordered silver on the 19th btw.

:good:
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
I can confirm this ! Mine now says dispatched. Does this mean tomorrow ?

I ordered on 20th btw.
[One (M7) General] silas184:
It did for me yesterday, I did get an email aprrox 21.30 that it had been despatched but never had a tracking number

BUT mine came from DPD not parcelforce.

The build quality is A1 first class on mine, Boomsound is amazing for a small phone device listening to it now in large room copes as background music perfectly. Still setting up, didn't add my 23 gig dropbox to my existing account so need to sort that, still waiting for mobile network sim to connect correctly. Bearing in mind I'm only on a 3g T-Mobile Sim streamed music without stuttering so far. Still lots to setup, I'll put a post up in accessories for a little handy desk stand I picked up thats ideal for the HTC One allowing Landscape and Portrait (Bit off topic)

MPD could certainly do better with their communications to customers but in the end I have a great phone!
[One (M7) General] _JM_:
As does mine, and I certainly hope so!
[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:
So Mobile Phones Direct are shipping handsets today?

Not jealous at all...
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Yeah I'm only on 3g myself I don't buy into this 4g **** yet until it comes down in price by, erm well, a lot lol.
[One (M7) General] _JM_:
Anyone else received theirs yet?
[One (M7) General] filbertos:
Not yet, hopefully today I happen to be working from home so would be perfect timing.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
Got confirmation of my 40quid cash back, but nothing else.
[One (M7) General] filbertos:
Mine just arrived, looks to be in perfect condition. happy days.
[One (M7) General] ahemcough:
Just got an email that my order has been dispatched, which is odd as I was told I had to wait around 10 days! I ordered on the 29th March, so hopefully this means they've got enough stock to fulfill most people's orders now.
[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:
Buy Mobile Phones claim to have stock on their website with a statement saying to order before 7 for next day delivery, yet when I call them they say they are expecting stock and it hasn't arrived and that they'll get the status taken off the site.

Heard nothing about my order from Affordable Mobiles... Sister company of the above!
[One (M7) General] _JM_:
Got mine today, wow what a phone. mine has tiny gaps top and bottom but im really not bothered, the build quality is much better than my One X.
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
Got mine, but been to a wedding, so all day Friday i'm like " wanna go homeeee " lol. Only now have I just managed to sit down and actually properly mess about with it.

Really small gap top and bottom, but it's even and unnoticeable so i'm fine.

Phone is Amazing. I love it.

Screen, genuinely, coming from an Arc S, which i thought was good, it knocked my freaking socks off.

Post subject: Tmobile update Non permanent voicemail and missed calls icon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something about the TmobileNL RomUpdate 1.60; I've upgraded from my french version 1.50 to this english version not bothered by the switch from the french language to the english one; It works almost flawlessly except that i lost a thing: the permanent display of missed calls and waiting voicemail message has vanished: so when someone leaves a voicemail, as the person hangs up, a bubble stating that a voicemail has been left is displayed for a very few seconds showing two buttons, one to call the voicemail, the other to erase the displayed message; After a few seconds, the message vanishes and no icon remains on the display to remind you that you have received new voicemail.

This is very annoying and very unpractical so i hope that someone has a way to tweak the Qtek in order to display back such an icon and that it stays displayed untils one has listen to the voicemail and erase the messages from the voicemail box.The same goes for the missed calls indicators.

Can someone help me out of this? is there a new romset correcting these issues? A tweak for it.

Brgds, Arnaud

I use all three french networks as i have subscriptions on all three.

But it dosn't come from the rom set : after hardresetting, everything is ok and the icons are back;

By the way Murcielago, could you backup your actual french QTEK2020 or XDA2 romset and send it to me so i can at least store the french romset and maybe restore the french language version of the device?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Murcielago:

I don't have a french ROM because I bought my XDA II in Singapore.

If it works for you, can you contact me and tell me how you configured it please ?

Yeah alot of animations are based on the Launcher you use, drawer, app launch, desktop scrolling animations.

But a few are based on your Rom/framework. I think keyboard animations and when you press back in an app are based on your rom.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernestwisnu:
This problem has been solved with the latest original update, i.e. V10h Open Europe.

My concern, however, isn't about the auto focus, but rather the image quality when talking pictures in low light condition. The result is often disappointing. When there's adequate light, the picture generated is great

I include some pics taken with this phone so you can see for yourself
