The e2save deal sounds (as you say) comparable to the one that I got from OneStopPhoneshop ...

Do a search on eBay for seller "uncle-jamal" and he is selling XDA II's for £139 on O2 400, with other deals available - but not as good as e2save.

The only other seller I found (via this board) was Uplands, but they were not as good (price-wise) either.

One piece of advice - wherever you go, it may be worth making a quick phone call before placing the order to see if they actually have any stock - I gather that O2 cannot get enough of these models at the moment, and as a result I had to wait 3 weeks for mine from OSPS - it was worth it though.

HTH

When i spoke to mobiles2yourdoor, they said they order them in and there would definately be no problem getting one within 4 days!. I suppose once they've got your money, if there's a delay that's too bad.

I'll phone e2save and see whats what, but i'm sure most places like onestop will say they have them even if they don't just to get the customer.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA-II:
phoned up e2save today and they said that there was a delivery of the xda II today (thats why the prices have gone up on their site!!)

Well i ordered the o2 100 traiff at £139 plus P+P. They charge £25.99 a month and you get free itemised billing. I pointed out its not free as your paying for it and you can't elect not to have the billing (which other shops allow you to do!)

3 months free insurance as well.

So it should be delivered wednesday, hopefully!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] s.morris:
Hi,

Just ordered my from e2save via the phone mine is coming tomorrow, did you notice that the insurance was not being supplied via O2

" 3 months FREE insurance with Allianz Cornhill " with a £50 access and you have to cancel the insurance after the 3 months or the will keep on taking the £7.99 it out your bank

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA-II:
What time did you order yours? I phoned at about 5.30pm, and they said i wouldn't get it until wednesday :(

yeah the insurance is pretty standard. Its free for 3 months, then you just ahve to cancel direct debit if you don't want it any more. I will probably drop it as its no better than my home insurance.

Shame its not like the old ornage insurance. Free, new phone in 24 hours wherever you are, and no excess, oh happy days

It annoyed me that they changed their offers just because they got stock in!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] s.morris:
Hi ordered mine around 3 o'clock (uk) the girl on the phone said they had only just come in, she also said that there was more in stock,

My son who ordered one from Carphone Wharehouse was told that they had no stock on sunday but they shipped it on monday so perhaps a lot of place got some form of stock,

When i spoke to the O2 shop in Derby the guy said that they had a back order list of 10.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA-II:
Well came today as expected, so i'm happy with their service. Seemed to be the best deal around at the moment. needless to say in a week or so there will be a better one!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Andy_Kendall:
I got jerked around by onestopphoneshop too!!! :evil:

They accepted my first order on 23/4/2004, asked for utility bills and then just dumped the order without telling me anything, by phone, email, or whatever. I only discovered it when I phoned up to check the order on the 1/5/2004, no reason given. I re-placed the order immediately, but, ahh sorry sir they're now UK£20 dearer AND you have to have a 6 months 02 200 contract not 4 months as it used to be. B*STARDS!

Even then they tried to cancel the order twice as the first utility bill I sent them was a month out of date, and then they lost the second one. It was only frequent and persistent phone calls that got me it at all.

DON'T BUY IT FROM THEM! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Oh, and the free car kit they send you with it? The XDA II is too wide to fit it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gregr:

Guys i went for mobileshop.com

I got my XDA II the next day! with O2 250 + 50 bolt-on for 37 a month

[HD2 General] Mister B:
Seen this asked a few times over the years but never really with solid solution.

I would be inclined to get a USB wifi adaptor as very cheap (3<>4USD) & use software mentioned above to create your own secure wifi hotspot as would be more flexible/usable solution.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
I purchased the Moko case on Amazon that's 5.99 (free shipping for $25+ orders or amazon prime). My first impression was that it was rather cheaply made. Then again, you're paying 6 bucks for a case. I don't expect it to last long either- the corners are starting to show signs of wear and tear after only a weekend in my messenger bag (see pic below).

I bought the white one as you can see, but in reality, it comes as a very dull white color, almost grayish. The feel of the case isn't very sturdy. Since it is "white" it is prone to getting dirty pretty quickly, as it already has picked up some other colors from sitting inside my messenger bag.

I really like that there's a band for you to slip your hand in while reading. This is especially useful if you're on the train and you have your hand slipped through the strap (no one can take it from you easily and it won't fall out of your hands should you fall asleep). I also like that there's a second strap in the back, to hold the cover to the back so you don't have the cover flapping around.

The insides is a felt like material, with 2 memory card slots (I don't understand why they're there because the Note 8.0 doesn't read SD cards). It also has a pen loop as well. As someone mentioned in another thread, it appears that the bulk of Amazon's covers have an added loop on it. The loop is on the back so it's not intrusive. I do intend on getting the S-Pen w/ the eraser on top, so perhaps that pen loop would come in handy. The case like every other, also doubles as a stand for reading or for typing.

What really bothers me about this case is the insides where the top and the bottom doesn 't taper to the tablet and kind of bulges out a bit- I'm referring to the picture below w/ the Samsung logo- you can see that the case sticks out and not flat against the tablet. It's not a functional flaw but more of a cosmetic one.

All in all, it's only an average case- I'd give it a 6/10, any questions or if anyone needs more pictures, let me know. :laugh:

Also I forgot to mention- this case does support the sleep/wake functionality.

I also bought a KDL Case and it's currently shipping. Once I receive the KDL case, I'll write another review. The KDL case can be found here:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw...udhi=&_sop=12&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_sadis=&LH_CAds=

UPDATE

Just an update on this case. I've been using it since I posted this review and now from the pic, you can see that one of the "hinges" (I guess you can say) already broke. Like I said in my review, this should only be a temporary solution for a nicer case you have on the way- PLEASE SEE POST #12 FOR PIC
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] fengc817:
I also bought a different Moko case and I second on the built quality. it seems very cheaply made and the flaps are not stitched properly.

amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4BEA82 (I can't post outside links yet)

I look forward to your KDL case review, I've been looking for a bookcover alternative. Please let us know how long the delivery took also.

I ordered this for $5 but it is not shipping until May 10.

amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ2Y8XQ
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
Definitely will keep everyone posted on delivery etc. The poetic case looks interesting, I've had a few of them and they all seem well made
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] chakra:
ordered the black one for $6 on amazon, delivered in two days. Its OK, leaves the edges out, but really like the fact it turns the screen on and off. its great for 6$ not so good for 50$...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] cheesemaker99:
Yeah, MOKO always have very low price cases. If you want a case just do the basic job, you might go for. If you want a good case, I would rather to stay away from it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
The KDL case looks nice from the pics. I wonder about what the texture feels like, and also about the strength of the stitching where the cover attaches to the back. It looks from the pictures like the cover might get stressed a bit at that point when you fold the cover tightly around the back (and/or when creating the triangle fold for the tablet stand functionality), but it is hard to tell for sure from just images. I also like that the same triangle fold is used for both tablet angles as that seems like it might be more secure/sturdy than the Samsung Book Cover seems to be (especially for the mostly upright angle, according to some reports).

The Poetic Slimline looks nice too. Perhaps you (or someone) can do a review at some point?

It is nice to see that there might be some decent options to the official Samsung Book Cover as $50 feels a bit exorbitant.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
I received the KLD case yesterday. Expect a review! But as a preview...it's very disappointing
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
Well that sucks.... :( but thanks for the update! I look forward to the review nonetheless!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Div033:
I got this case as a temporary solution to protect my device (since Samsung products are fragile) and honestly I can't complain! $5.99 is a great price and the case does everything it should. I knew getting a white one would get dirty far more frequently so I went with black instead. I haven't seen any noticeable signs of wear yet but the flaps which hold the device in place are a little raised.

I'll probably wait for a more premium case to be released before I purchase another, but for now this one works great. I only wish it had some way to stand it up in portrait.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] 713alan:
The card slots are too small for an SD card. They will hold the micro-SD card which the Note 8 does read.

The slots might hold sim cards for the non-US Note (I'm in US so my Note doesn't take a sim card).

MOKO Case

I bought a different MOKO case only paid $12 for three different cases. Super Cheap, I wouldn't expect the quality to be top notch on any case that costs, as cheap as, these cases. Any way for the price though, I can buy several if the craftsmanship goes bad. Anyway here are the pics of the MOKO case I like the best.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
lol I actually just posted up a review about that case!
[Galaxy Note II General] anupam_luv:
I used to flash my last Note N7000 every now and then, I was a gr8 fan of villain rom/criskelo and kingdroid etc .....

But it was last year, after that I bought N7100 (after selling n7000) in January .....since then Im using stock rom with root (stock kernel)....

But now again, I feel like using a custom rom but when I visited the "Android Development" and "Original Android Development" section in N7100 , I got confused which rom to start with as there are so many roms/kernels.... I think Im very late to visit this section....

Can anybody plz suggest which rom and kernel is popular among u which has better stability/functionality and also suggest me a better kernel like I had Philz/Hydracore kernel for n7000 last year..... ????
[Galaxy Note II General] EmptyArea:
I'm going to suggest something that is the complete opposite of the ROM I imagine you actually want. Maybe you should live in someone else's shoes for a while:

CM10.1 nightlies.
[Galaxy Note II General] anupam_luv:
Thanks for suggestion.... But I couldnt find this rom in android dev. or orig. android dev sections (of N7100).... at least on first two pages...

Best rom threads are frowned upon on xda because there are to many user variables to say one rom is best. Best to try some and find the one that works best for you personally.

After having a chat with o2 who provided my sxs,and asking them to unlock my bootloader the assistant apparently filled out a form to have this done,I shall have to wait 7days to get a email from them with a code then get in touch with Sony-so fingers crossed it works.

I triple checked that they wasn't doing a SIM unlock and got a copy of the chat if it doesn't turn out to be the boot loader unlock.

Fingers crossed!

Actually there were countless threads regarding "Unlocking a locked bootloader Allowed= NO"

This is why I said, it would have been great if you posted, once you get a confirmation from the carrier that the bootloader is unlocked.

I am a contributing member of this forum just like any other and i know what i am doing :)

Care to find me one where the operator had agreed to unlock it?

And who said I didn't know what I was doing?

Now you're trolling ;). You might argue that you searched for other threads where the BL gets unlocked by the carrier (it isn't yet though so let's wait and see, might be they misunderstood your question and they're just SIM unlocking your phone), but trolling is definitely against the rules :P.

Hi,

By the word "imagining" i meant that you are hoping/ thinking or expecting that the Carrier will unlock the bootloader. Since it is NOT done yet and the confirmation is required. I hope they will. :good:

This is why i mentioned "imagining". What is wrong that? This is not a bad word? :confused: So do not complicate this, please.

In XDA we all encourage proper and friendly language between users. So why you are being this aggressive?

In XDA we all share our work, information for free and in return no one expect anything other than a friendly behavior !

Hello,

I'm trying to build my own ROM (CyanogemMod) unfortunately, the command adb devices returns the device name but says its offline.

I don't think it's directly caused by the phone because the same command under Windows is working fine. (see attached pic)

So I tried every USB port (2.0 or 3.0), restarted the VM, the Phone, kill then start the adb server, but the issue remains.

I desperately need your help :o

Thank you
