Expansys is now saying 10th of NOVEMBER! Good god.

I hope SDD gets some before that but to be honest I can't see them getting it before Expansys. Gonna have been waiting nearly a month for this phone.

Not Fair *stomps foot* :-(

I was wondering if I cancel the order will they charge me anything? thx
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] :
Same here. This is in the limits of surreal. :(

Not a single explanation e-mail as if this is the first online transaction ever...

These guys are completely amateurs! :x

Wow, how your demeanor changed drastically from...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
True, but it's easy to be smug when you've already got one :) The lack of website updates or emails, and general fairytale telling is showing some vendors true colours. After all, if they've got your money, they've nothing to lose, have they?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BeyondtheTech:
Trust me, I'm not smug, and these are one of the instances where I'm not happy to be right. I think everyone on this planet who has ever had a PDA and a cell phone should consider a Wizard device - it's the first time that a manufacturing company got it all the pieces right. Sure, we would appreciate a faster processor or an SD slot or a better megapixel camera, but I feel the Wizard is the first milestone to even greater devices to come.

That being said, I am disappointed in SmartDevicesDirect for not performing up to spec with something as simple as replying to an email or picking up the phone. I can understand the fact that a company can get overwhelmed with orders and/or customer inquiries, but then you have a single individual like David (aka MadMonkeyBoy), and I don't want to use him as an excuse, but if he can handle the flood singlehandedly, why does a seemingly larger operation such as SDD fail in this respect?

I know I had my share of 'bashing' based on people's dismay and aggravation, and I made every attempt to make it known as a warning to others, whether it's in the form of a Tom Hanks spoof image I Photoshopped together, or just in plain text in threads like this. I actually received a private message from Simon from SDD who detailed a long letter regarding the whole fiasco, and remained professional throughout the letter. So much so that I actually felt guilty about bashing them in the first place.

But, if he took the time to write out that letter (which I hope wasn't a cut and paste or a mass email), and it was a few weeks back, you'd think they would have 'cleaned up their act' since then.

If it's any consolation, MadMonkeyBoy just stated that he should be getting stock of K-JAMs this coming Monday and has some availability. You might want to jump on the chance if you can now.

Good luck to all.

ONE They don't communicate this information to people unless you email them

Expansys showing stock now for the K-Jam.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BeyondtheTech:
Which means Expansys will ship out the devices to SDD who will receive them on Monday and hence be able to ship out from there. At least that's light at the end of your tunnels.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] :
Yes, but what about us who ordered the darn 9100 and not the K-JAM... :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sunseaker:
It's weird because when I called Expansys on Wednesday they said the 9100 would come in first on the 1st Nov followed by the K-jam on the 6 Nov.

Seems like they don't have a clue. Also, the K-jam is being listed cheaper than the 9100. How come I wonder?

It will be intersting to see if SDD do get stock on Monday.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Holding your breath is not advised....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
That's precisely why I won't let them off the hook. They've now had 2 weeks to amend or remove the "First batch of stock arrived 14th October!!!. ." message from the top of the QTek 9100 page. Despite the number of people chasing their goods, and the adverse publicity in forums like this, they still haven't bothered to make that simple change, or provide any indication on the web site that stock is not available. In my opinion that says more about their intent than any number of platitudes they give individual callers. If that's the contempt they have for their customers, then I'm glad I will never be putting any of my money their way.

Edit: Anyone find it strange that their own forums have had no posts since 11 Oct?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] :
6 e-mails, yet no response... :roll:

Sincerely, if it wasn't for some guys here that had received their devices in the past, I would have contacted my credit card company...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
Well to be fair, we've not heard any stories of people not getting their goods when stock does eventually arrive, and it would appear that everyone else is in the same boat at present.

It just galls me that unlike the rest of the dealers (e.g. Expansys, MMB, Buymobilephone.net etc) who openly display stock availability, SDD appear to be intent on concealing this information in order to mislead customers. What other reason could there be for not updating their web site, or forums, for over two weeks?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ninja984:
Did anyone try to call SDD and find out when they are suppose to get the Qtek 9100?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] :
Anyone? Could someone post the e-mail addresses of the guys that do respond the mails in SDD? I think sending the mails to generic addresses the likes of support@sdd.com is like throwing a letter just written to the dustbin myself... :roll:

I called today 13:45. Qtek 9100 expected in this afternoon, K-Jams will be in tomorrow.

He said 9100 stock allocations are quite heavy so if you order today he couldn't guarantee if you'd get one from this batch.

K-Jam stock allocation not so high so more likely to get one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:

Qtek9100 already out of stock at SDD. :(

They have K-Jams so I'll order one of those I guess although some of the comments in this thread worry me a little about order with them.

Expansys can't ship to Portugal from UK and their european distributon centre doesn't have stock so I'm basically stuck with SDD :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cbrow51:
Mine appears to be on its way to US with TNT tracking number showing progress. I received my KJAM previously in about 3 days.... certainly a lot of mixed reviews here, but I have been happy so far...

Can you tell me if there is a cost/speed/reliability difference between Royal Mail and TNT? I'm a USA resident and never heard of either.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sunseaker:
Royal mail is the UK postal service. TNT is a courier like Fedex, DHL, etc.

You called them and they said they're out of stock? Did you ask when they were gonna get another shipment?

That because, mine has arrived. :roll:

Shipped yesterday with TNT (so at least they made up by paying the fastest way) and got it today. :)

Hehe, and their online account history system still says... processing! I guess they had so much work lately they couldn't even update the status of the order.

Looking for some advices and answers.Thanks in advance.

P.S: Also haveing problems with the power button.(like most of the lg phones have) I have to press it 2 or 3 times to get the phone locked and i`m haveing really hard times whenerver i try to turn off/on the phone.Really annoying
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtstraker:
Similar problem

My problem is that connecting it to the laptop by the supplied USB wire it does not get recognised, no matter how many time I installed the LG drivers. It says not charging or connect your charger, although I can check the phone status and see that the charge has increased.

One solution that works for me is to charge it from the power adapter instead of trying to charge it by connecting to the laptop. I also switch it off when I'm charging.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darknezx:
Hi all,

Was on Slim Bean 4.2.2 Build 7, but encountered a boot loop for some reason. So I proceeded to flash the stock roms (4.1.2) as listed. Tried several times flashing different roms on that page (just flashing the PDA file), but to no avail. Odin always says that the flash is successful, but the boot loop still continues. Does anyone have any advice on how to get past this boot loop? :( Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Short of persevering (I.E try different stock roms - different Android versions, released by different carriers), try Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash' thread. Though it appears your flash has been successful, something is obviously not right (almost impossible to say what that might be given we're not there with you watching over your shoulder). Stuff like trying different cables, different USB ports, uninstalling/reinstalling Kies & even different PC's is worth trying (and other stuff in his thread). Also, try flashing a 3 part stock rom (as per Hopper's thread), this should wipe any 'remnants' which might be causing the issue you're seeing & might work (maybe try this first).

Also, I'm going to ask the obvious - if recovery is working, have you booted into recovery after flashing & done a wipe ? Obviously if you have no recovery you won't be able to do this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darknezx:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried going into recovery mode, but to no avail.

Would I be able to flash a 3 part rom if I just flashed a stock rom? Just wanted to make sure I don't brick it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
A three part rom is a stock rom, but unlike a one part rom which you flash in the PDA section of Odin, the CSC file will wipe your phone in the process, which is what we want if we're working with the theory you flashing one part stock roms up until now seems to be 'leaving something behind' which might be causing persistent bootloops.

If you're worried about bricking your phone, take it to a service centre & pay to have it fixed (All they'll do is try & flash a stock rom/wipe the phone which you're capable of doing for free yourself). You're looking for a simple fix, there isn't one. If you persevere, you'll fix it eventually. This has been the experience on here over the past 2 yrs or so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darknezx:
Thank you MistahBungle! For some reason, a three part rom did the trick. Not sure why though. But I'm so grateful for your help! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There you go. Our theory re: previous flashes leaving something behind must have been right. You're welcome ;) Glad you got it sorted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dud3me:
I assume this has been discussed somewhere but I really need a quick answer. I have a chance to get the 16gb model for 242€ do to a discount or the 32gb for 299€ on regular price. I have to order today though. I would have initially got the 32gb model on sale for 269€ but they ran out :(

I would use it to watch series and movies on the go and at home. Probably books too. Not really a huge fan of games though. I currently have a 16gb phone with 2gb SD card and still have some room in that. Not watching movies with it though.

So is the price difference worth going for 16gb model?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Dav_prime:
If you can afford it I would take the larger model given the lack of an SD slot. I want all the storage I can get because I don't want to think too hard about what's in and what's out when loading up media and apps. You can use USB OTG but its not a perfect solution IMO. (I do intend to use external memory as well though).

Sent from my Nexus 4 powered by paranoid ROM and franco.kernal
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] psychedelicNerd:
Go with the 32 GB model. Regardless of whether you play games or not, you will most likely experience storage issues. If you intend to play movies, and if the intent is to copy the movies locally and then watch, then you will need a high storage device. I play 720p movies on my N7 and each movie file is massive.

You will need storage depending on your rooting and installation of custom rom preferences, along with using applications like titatnium backup,

Go with the 32 Gig, you will not regret it.

The 32GB 2012N7 is my only 32GB device ... it never gets to under 20GB available.

I store MP3s and eBooks on the internalSD. Also I have navigation SW (with large offline maps) and a few large games on-board.

I have large movies on external storages. I actually like the OTG (on N7s) much much better than the actual microSD slot.

Why ?

* I could quickly swap the flash devices. They don't have to be the small&expensive microSDs.

* I would never forget to remove the external storage, when I leave my tab around. If it gets stolen ... I just get another.

It's just me. If you can afford it, go get the 32GB version. At least you feel better.

For me, the 16GB extra doesn't help much. I need a ton more anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jesusfish1:
Keep in mind the is takes up space too. When it says 16 it's not all free space. I went for the 32 if you are opting to have something nice go all the way. Just my opinion.

Thanks for your input everyone! The only thing I fear is that they release nexus 8 as I think that would be the ideal size for me.
