Dude that's crazy.... I'd be all over here until she sent the correct mega out because they are night and day in size and performance. How could she possibly make a mistake that big? This almost reeks to me of bait and switch, as I'm sure you paid much more, possibly double for the i9205 yet she sent you the 5.8? Either it's the grossest error imaginable lens he scammed you. good luck man, the mega i9205 is the best device I've ever owned so I hope you get this all sorted out.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Read through the whole thread & you'll see much was done since my Opening Post. I have an i9205 that will be here tomorrow (09-23).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sweet man glad to hear you got it all sorted

One question, What speed fo you get on 3g?

Do you get HSDPA+ or only HSDPA?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Well guess what XDA friends, the phone came today busted all to Hell. Why is my luck so bad with this phone model & this seller? I'm waiting to hear back from her now. A strange thing is this auction doubled in price right after I made this purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] glurak888:
What the hell?

That is the damage if a 12 ton drove over it!

How the hell?

The only thing I've noticed is that it connects every time as Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Aww..man that sucks..i am shocked they delivered it that way to you as the shipping outfit should be held responsible for this, i would get in touch with her and the company that did the delivery, or if you went through ebay or used paypal put in compliant..but i really hope they get you a new phone as that is just crap what happened..hope the best for you and they fix it right for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
I'm waiting to hear from the seller now. I wonder how I would go about complaining to Fed-Ex.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] TravisBean:
Dude, you got shafted !
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude so you didn't receive your mega i9205 today like you were supposed to? How did you purchase it? If thru your bank card or PayPal you can go thru them and they can out pressure on the seller for scamming you. I really hope you get your phone man, that's complete bs what they pulled on you.... As there is absolutely no way this was an accident seeing as there are photos of the phone and serial numbers all over the box. As well as specs listed, screen size ect on the back of the box. Pulling for you man.... good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Thanks, here's what I filed on eBay's resolution site.

"The package the cellphone I bought was crushed. The screen on the phone is shattered. This is the 2nd phone like this I've bought from this seller. They sent the wrong phone the 1st time and worked out an agreement for me to keep it. I gave them the benefit of the doubt & bought another one and it arrives crushed. For some reason the seller's other phones like this more than doubled in price after I purchased this one. Something is amiss about this whole situation."

You've requested:

A refund. The refund amount includes the purchase price plus original shipping
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That a good place to start... I'm guessing you used PayPal as your processing Source for payment if Purchased on ebay? At least in my experience I've found PayPal to Carry much more weight against a seller since this is the Source of their income and PayPal will refund you frost then go after the seller. If you used PayPal I would suggest you at least notify them of all the information as it literally just got my best friends money back to him from Oppo in 5 days whereas ebay dispute and appeal was going to take up to 30... IF they Find your in the right. Just my 2 cents from experiences both personally and with friends and Family as I hate to see a fellow Mega fan getting screwed with. Hope this all works out buddy... ps who did you get the phone from? Not sure if rules permit PM me if not as I have a really good place located in New York that honest, Fast, and has a huge selection for low prices I'd be happy to recommend man.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Yes, I used PayPal. It's all I use for eBay. The seller is japan-internet-shop-2006. Thanks for the offer. I may get back to you on it. I'm going to PayPal now.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Forsure put in a dispute with paypal as just a little while ago i bought a samsung note 5.3 screen and i never received it and i contacted the seller that said he sent it, so i waited a few more days and still nothing. So i put in a dispute with paypal as i bought it through ebay also and paypal sent the seller to respond in this matter within a week or so and the seller didn't reply in that time and paypal returned my money to my account right away and they went after the seller and froze his account and can also restrict it.

So paypal did step up to the plate for me and everything was fixed in the end and i got my money back. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
I got this overnight from the Seller.

Seller's message:

"Hi, Thank you for your message. I'm really sorry to hear about what happened. Yes, we did make a mistake with your first order, and in mutual agreement compensated you accordingly. Obviously though we wouldn't send you a crushed phone, so this happened during shipping. I will contact FedEx and get back to you asap with an update. My apologies for any inconvenience caused, Elizabeth"

If you're satisfied with this solution, you can let the seller know by sending a message in the Resolution Center. If you don't want to accept this offer, we encourage you to send the seller a message with solution that you'd be happy with.

You can also view the details of this case in the Resolution Center.

I sent this response.

This happened due to your inadequate packing. You should send me another phone & allow Fed-Ex to reimburse you. It would be wise to pack them with much more packing protection."
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Nice to hear and you get a new phone as you deserve that forsure. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] koniakki:
HOLY COW! wtf?? My friend you are really unlucky. I hope that some people here luckier can give a little luck to you. Oh wait. I don't believe much in luck. :p

Why? Because the first phone did NOT packed it self and was sent to you. A human being made the mistake and sent the wrong phone. So its a human error not bad luck.

Second situation: If the seller says the truth(which btw sending a phone like that sounds a bit too much), then its FedEx employee fault and PLEASE make sure for them to know that there'll be hell to pay!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Thanks, I'm just biding my time till I hear more. The seller is supposed to be filing a claim now Fed-Ex. eBay won't escalate it anymore till Fri.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] koniakki:
Just keep postponing the Ebay dispute case for a bit more if possible, but DO NOT close it, until you come to an agreement or FedEx refunds you or something.

Keep us posted. Damn what a situation. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Update: She evidently does her email business one a day.

Here's her post from today: "HI, When we sent the package to you, we asked for signature confirmation. Did you ask FedEx to leave it at your door? That's what it says on the tracking page: https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/index.html?tracknumbers=79673282-

6344&cntry_code=us Did you contact FedEx regarding this issue, or just me? Elizabeth"

My response: "My wife signed for this phone but not the first one that you sold me & you shipped the wrong to me. She had to sign for another package that came in on that same Monday. She was handed the phone in that bad condition by the Fed-Ex driver. I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I decided to buy the 2nd phone from you. I'd hope you'd do the same for me. I am NOT trying to scam you in way."

I await her next response, but I'm so afraid she'll stick it to me if anyway possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] heavylift:
man.. really bad seller..

my advice.. just escalate the case , and ask for the refund and be done with it. don´t waste your english with that seller , he is obvious a bad seller, don´t waste a min waiting after your are eligible to escalate the case to resolution center.

put photos of the phone with the package in the claim don´t forget.

oh and don´t forget! crush him with the feedback after!!

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Sounds like she is trying to get out of refunding or replacing the phone in a way to me..if your wife signed for the package and it came in that shape then either FedEx did something to it or the seller, i kinda think it has something to do with FedEx as they are the ones who handled the shipping, did she give you a tracking number if she sent it FedEx as i think they do that..but stay with this and either get her to send you a new phone or get your money back and stay away from that seller as she is bad luck i think. ;)

Trust me. I will stay with it till the bitter end. I can't stand being took for $460+. She has 4 bad feedback's and they all look like deals like I'm going through with her now. So it evidently doesn't bother her to screw someone over.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] glurak888:
So you lost already 460 $?

Or why cant you just order a refund?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
It was $464 + $30 for overnight shipping. I can't file a PayPal claim now since I filed a claim through eBay first. I can escalate the claim on Friday as it
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I see in your tracking info at the bottom of the shipment facts it says this under signature services "Direct signature required", so that seller is full of crap as she would have seen that it if i could see it..i wish the best for you man and you get your money back or new phone. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
On my next response I'm going to say it's time for my money to be refunded. I hope my 1346 or so feedback speaks out for something
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] koniakki:
I'm NOT IN ANY WAY defending the seller or FedSh*t but NEXT time people, DO NOT accept packages before you examine them. I'm talking to everyone here and placing a mental note to myself.

Even just outer appearance is more than enough. But checking the insides too BEFORE you sign for the packages is even better.

Also if you don't wanna bother to check the insides of your package at that time, check only the outside package condition and when you will open it, take a few pics or even better,

just make a quick video by opening and checking the device to see if it works.

That's a few good rules to be on the safe side. :good:

P.S: sholsten we are here with you man until the end or until you finally get your rightfully deserved Mega. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Jamio1988:
Man, I am really sorry to hear about all the issues with it. It really sounds to me like the seller is trying to pull some crap (but to be fair, I never trust anything out of Asia when it comes to eBay).

Keep us posted on what happens and I really hope for the best for you. Good luck, bro.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
The latest response from seller.: "Hi, I already contacted FedEx, waiting for their response. I will update you as soon as possible I hope. In any case, we will solve this problem, so please do not be worry, I am here to help :) Elizabeth"

My response: "OK. This is what I want to hear is that I will get a refund. Thank you."
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Nice to hear..looks like things are looking up. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sholsten:
Great news today: Refund information:A full refund of $464.27 will be issued through PayPal once the item is delivered. I'll get it to the Post Office today. I'll buy another one somewhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:

I wonder if the i527m would work down in the US as there is a ebay seller up here in Canada that has 4 of them for sale with free shipping, but i think he goofed in his model no..he has Samsung Galaxy Mega Unlocked Nova Black 6.3" i527 i517m 16GB 8MP LTE which as far as i know there is no i517m model as all Canadian models are the i527m and they can be rooted and he has a pretty good price on them...i would have to contact him to make sure it is the i527m model as the pic shows it to have the same hard box as the S4 and the Canadian one comes in that box, and that i527m model is the one i have ..but not sure on the part if it will work in the US..but i could not see why. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bigystyle84:
Just to let you know, its probably the "Swifttronics" Seller?

I bought one of them. Picture doesn't show it, but I received an AT&T Model

It's fully unlocked and brand new, but I wasn't expecting it to be AT&T.

I kept it anyways, but have a locked bootloader for now. (Sucks, no root)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Yes you are right on the seller and I wondered about that model number he was showing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bigystyle84:
Also - just a FYI

I offered him $420.00 by Ebay message and he accepted it. He sent me the invoice directly on paypal. He overnight shipped the phone to me by fedex too.

Overall was a great transaction other than being an AT&T phone.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

I ordered a new back for it. The AT&T Logo bugs me. So does the Splash screen and bloatware. I'll fix that though as soon as somebody figures out a way to root this phone!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Sounds like a good seller and i will keep him in mind forsure..thanks for the info on this. :good:

Hi Folks,

Thanks for taking the time to read. I'm super new to the app development front. While I don't consider tasker as app development, it is providing me with all my needs so far accept for one thing. I'm looking to integrate serial communications. Slick USB 2 Serial proved that that it can be done, but I somehow need Tasker to be able to read the serial bus and interpret input using the built in expressions. Doing so will enable full integration to automotive applications such as steering wheel button volume control of the android device. Looking for any guidance at this point. This could work via a plugin or third party app.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] LucasBS1:
I'd like the exact same thing.

If not Tasker, maybe another flexible/customizable app that works as IoT and can handle USB...

The advantage of Tasker is that I can create a primitive interface

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] augustofretes:
I just noticed that there's a very heavy distortion every time I record audio, not only that, is entirely predictable, always at around second 3 and it lasts about 3 seconds too. After that there's no more distortions.

Here's the audio recording (silence until the third second then I make a few noises since the distortion becomes more obvious): http://db.tt/o0uMqFiq

It's beyond annoying, and I'm pretty sure it also happens during calls.

I'm using Android 4.3, Slim ROM version that is otherwise flawless, I'm not sure if its a hardware or software issue, although such predictability makes me think is a matter of software. Does anyone has a similar issue?

Hi, I'm trying to setup a new email account and think there may be a bug.

I'm trying to setup a gmail.com account but I want to set the smtp settings to use my pobox.com account so that I receive email through gmail and send through pobox.

I use the wizard which you are presented with when you choose New Account. I choose gmail which fills in the gmail pop settings for you but on the smtp screen I change to my pobox.com settings and continue through successfully.

The problem is when I go back into the smtp settings for that account, the username and password has defaulted back to that for the gmail account which obviously wont work on pobox.com!! When I try to send a mail, it is actually sent through the gmail account and not the pobox smtp even though the username and password have defaulted to the gmail settings but the smtp is what I originally left it at the pobox address :(

Is this a known bug? Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeriosBG:
In which app you trying to add new account Gmail app or Mail app? If it's Mail app just fill your account details with gmail credentials and when account is added, edit outgoing settings. Also don't use the wizard, create it manually ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmarchy:
I tried that unfortunately :( The trouble was that when I sent an email it looked as if it had been sent by the gmail account - the settings defaulted back to gmail. The settings will not save!!!

I am using mail app btw.

I have found seen other email clients which have identities so its a shame mail app does not have this feature.

I'm glad you find solution. Yes its real pity, mail app its good app

The box for ticking this to sync is not even there nor is the calender.

Does anyone know how to set this up?

when you install activesync dont select guest partnership.

select standard partnership.

in that after a few steps you will see all the boxes select whatever items you want to activesync and it will be saved to your computer.

I can get it to sync my contacts!!

Yet I cannot get it to do this on my home computer???

I have now installed a new copy of windows due to a nasty virues.

Yes I still dont get the option to sync my contacts, calender etc.

Bummer!!
[General Topics] TheBrit:
"Out of the box" Active Sync will only allow you to Sync with OutLook.

There may be 3rd party tools that allow you to Sync to other products.

AOL? Yeuch!! I've seen how AOL works on (and screws up) peoples' PCs.
