Hi

Just had the following from EE:

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

Dear EE Customer,

Thank you for applying for your free Sony SmartWatch 2 as part of the Sony Xperia Z1 promotion. To be eligible for this free reward you are required to have pre-ordered the Sony Xperia Z1 between the 1st September 2013 and 20th September 2013 on EE.

Unfortunately, your details do not meet the pre-order requirements during the designated period. If this is an error and you did pre-order your Sony Xperia Z1, please email us at sonysmartwatchpromotion@mando.co.uk with all of the following information:

1 proof or your pre-order being between 1st September and 20th September 2013 e.g. receipt or email order confirmation

2 telephone number

3 IMEI number

4 the address the phone/EE contract is registered to

Please allow up to 10 working days for a response to your email.

Kind Regards,

The EE and Sony teams

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

And my response:

This is getting ridiculous. My Z1 was pre-ordered on around 13th Sept. I have already made the claim, then at your request, I sent you a copy of the delivery note. This smells like yet another delay tactic.

1) I have attached the invoice once to this email (again)

2) Telephone No is xxxxxxxxxxx

3) IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4) Billing addr: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please sort this out ASAP, I am getting a very sour taste over this whole affair. If EE offers me something for free to tempt me into signing up for a contract, then I expect a timely fulfilment of what I was offered. Not any old excuse to get out of honouring the deal.

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

Very peeved with the cheeky blighter's at EE ...

[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Eh, dunno what has been going on before but aren't you overreacting? They say 'if this is in error please provide us with" so why don't give em the benefit of the doubt and assume that after providing that data it will be fine?

I would be very annoyed by the 'please allow 10 working days for a reply to your mail' though, that's just pretty awful.
[Xperia Z1 General] thepanttherlady:
I'd tend to agree with the overreacting part except in reading the OP's response to EE it appears they'd provided this information already and EE is acting as if this was the first communication. Sounds like EE is very unorganized.
[Xperia Z1 General] sandeeppathak007:
Agreed
[Xperia Z1 General] veletron:
Fact is they never bothered to respond to two previous emails asking what the delay was, and when I got through on the phone, they asked that I scan/email receipt as this would speed things up. Did this, heard nothing. Then tried to phone them, discovered they are no longer taking phone calls and was told to email prev address instead via recorded message. I know from prev 2 emails that they don't bother to respond to emails sent to this address. Then, this morning, I received the email in the OP.

I reckon I am perfectly entitled to be pished off with them!

Nigel
[Xperia Z1 General] keithwalton:
I got a notification around the 9th/10th apologising for the delay and that my watch will be dispatched soon. Then i got a text on friday from dhl to say it's on it's way. and monday lunch time they delivered it.
[Xperia Z1 General] indy.89:
Got the same email. Sent them my details however I no longer have any order confirmation emails about my Z1. Let's see what happens...
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Yup, you sure are ( I just didn't really get that from the first post). But sounds like terrible customer service, unfortunately happens too often still. Hope it'll work out in the end!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samkle:
As the title says im thinking of getting the octa core version of the s4 and i wanted to know if there are any issues, especially hardware issues coz those are the one that cant be solved. im interested mostly in those issues that are experienced by alot of users and that can cause bricking tha phone or needing to get repaired because my country's customer service is terrible, im planning to root the phone and probably flash a clean version of android (i cant get the google play version in my country so issues that are software related are not really an issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
hardware issues cannot be generalized to all line items, my friend. there are just certain units that are rather unlucky to bring along hardware problems.

if you follow the instructions here in the forum, i'm pretty sure you'll do well :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samkle:
well, ive read alot about overheating, and i know every smartphone overheats but in the case of the s4 they say that is really bad. have they released any update to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
i do not think it's REALLY BAD. i've been on the galaxy s flagships since s1 and i've gotta say that S2 was the worst with overheating.. with the s4, not so much. it only heats up when you're using mobile internet for over an hour or so and etc.

4.3 seems to be running smooth. but it is on its initial release, who knows, maybe 4.3.1 will fix this? :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmmVid:
Well I have the octa core version and I love it really. But it's not perfect. Quite a few days since September the phones battery drained and I barely used it. No data, just wifi and it was in my pocket. It also sometimes overheats in my pocket, which is weird since I'm not even using it. When you get it, remember to turn off location services in Google settings. It used to drain in like 6 hrs, but now after I disabled it it's been about 16 and I still got 22%. Over than this, it's a great phone. I would recommend waiting for the Nexus 5 if you're not in a hurry since it will be cheaper, and is said to have better specs. Plus it's from Google, so that's a plus.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chintz24:
I have an octa core version.

It is perfect. Doesnt overheat at all. Actually doesnt heat up too.

Battery life is awesome too.

It's just a little delicate, make sure you get a protective case
[G2 General] Noam23:
I really don't understand this move by LG (if correct). They are just killing the G2.

According to a believable source, the Nexus 5 is going to have two variants, while the more expensive one ($399) will have 32GB, and, get this, a 3000mah battery !!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57606477-94/nexus-5-16gb-version-reportedly-will-sell-for-$299/

Why, on earth, should anyone prefer the G2 under these circumstances ?

We still have several days to ditch our G2, before it loses its value...

My only question is then, why did LG made such a big issue out of the G2, if two months later they are giving almost same hardware for 60% the price...
[G2 General] amokkx:
I doubt that the 32GB version will have a 3000mAh battery.

The N5 16GB was listed for 350$ earlier today in the PlayStore.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
It's a subsidized price from Google, not LG. Google will take hit on every hardware sold and make up for it in the long term from play store purchases. This is how the Console industry has been working, PS3 and Xbox were sold at loss, but profit was made out of software.

32 GB G2 will settle for a price around 500$, price of Nexus 5 will stay the same for the life cycle. Also G2 has a better camera, IR blaster, 3000 mAh Battery is still not confirmed for 32 GB model, it is a rumour.

I would still buy G2 over Nexus 5, because stock android sucks.
[G2 General] Noam23:
If the Nexus 5 is going to have a 3000mah varient, the G2 will never have a developer community. In that case I think we should all switch to the Nexus 5, we'll earn money (if we sell the G2 soon), have normal volume/power buttons, and the best developer community one could imagine. What will we be sacrificing ? 0.2 inch in screen size, and several megapixels in camera ? that really doesn't cut it.
[G2 General] PAGOT:
Don't get you.... An old article as a proof to rumors?

As someone above posted the Cheaper one will go for 349 dollars. That means for me 349 euro. (even though our retailers will make 549 from it like they always do....)

Here you can get the LG G2 460 euro. If the more expensive of the N5 will be for min 400 more like 449 euro it will be just few Euro difference.

And we still don't know how it will be. If the USB OTG function will not be working again. Lesser camera. Battery. No radio, too many unknowns.

No matter how much you compare it. Maximum the N5 value will match the G2 at least in my country.

For sure not kill it.

or the most cluttered one and many lazy users that almost do not know how to use a computer :D

I always wonder how the people in Nexus forums or rather why they bought a Nexus phone. there is nothing easier as to unlock, root, flash as on a Nexus and yet they are able to mess up and need videos howtos for a 14 seconds job of 2 steps.
[G2 General] Noam23:
Old ? it's from last week...
[G2 General] PAGOT:
Ages old, dinosaur old. Old rumors and wrong. Check the latest news before panicking and trying to scare LG G2 users ....
[G2 General] Noam23:
I haven't seen any news contradicting this...
[G2 General] PAGOT:
So you did not your job as a poster.

Did not Google before posting....Shame on you...Its full news everywhere.

lets check this here http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/17/nexus-5-16gb-349-play-store/

again please check your story before posting. And when ppl tell you right in the first posts you are wrong READ IT before replying ...
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Also that lovely price is only for US customers, every one else gets the stick :P
[G2 General] shook187:
Wow I can't believe I actually thought you were Erica. You disappointed me when you're amateurish post,
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
The question is why on earth are you still here and trolling? You only post threads to bash the G2. It's like a G2 murdered your family and now you are all pissed at it. Not every country have the low Google prices, not every carrier will get nexus 5. Please just sell your G2 so we can stop having to deal with your whining.
[G2 General] Ajoli:
So what if it has 3k battery and 32gb? So does my G2. Really don't understand why that is a game changer even if it is true.
[G2 General] shook187:
Only an idiot would buy the G2 because he thinks its going to have development from the Nexus 5.

Almost as dumb as someone buying the LG Optimus G thinking it's going to have development from the Nexus 4.
[G2 General] charlie_c:
If you stick your hand in a garbage disposal and turn it on, you'll find hundreds of diamonds. I haven't seen any news contradicting this...so it must be true.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Why does it matter to you?
[G2 General] Cst79:
I would take the G2 instead of the Nexus 5 just for the Knock On feature (and the larger screen comes second). I can't believe how useful that feature is to me. I also use the FM Radio and IR remote every day. I also don't want to wait again for months until the Nexus 5 is in stock, etc. I barely got the Nexus 4 three months after release, first waiting for it to be in stock, then finding a reasonably fast and secure way to import it to my country. No thanks.

As for the software, I won't go back to the stock Android limitations like not being able to set different sound volumes for calls and notifications.

Kit Kat 4.4 will be available for the G2 very soon, probably a few weeks from the Nexus 5 launch. But I just don't care anymore what Android version my phone has. The last few versions have been sufficiently good as to not care which one I am running.
[G2 General] GiantJay:
I'm wondering if the Nexus 5 has anything to do with the Sprint G2 being delayed a little? Maybe Google told them to kick the Nexus 5 production into high gear, so they don't have the same shortages as every other device launch in the past?
[G2 General] Tdeljr:
Or the HTC one, or the Samsung galaxy s4 getting development from the Google experience editions. Oh wait!
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
Seriously?
[G2 General] o0adam0o:
I doubt that's gonna happen. I think 3000mah battery will require costly internal design differences for the battery to fit. We will see what happens once official info is released. My G2 doesn't arrive till Nov 8th anyways.
[G2 General] :
Nexus 5 can have a 3000 battery but without gram its pointless as the G2 will still smash it in battery terms. Z1 gets no where near this. Also Nexus 5 has a smaller screen, crapper gimmick camera. If it does end up being better than the G2 I'll swap and get one but doubt it. G2 is the best android phone I've ever owned and look at my list below to see what I've used.

Hands down the best.
[G2 General] 2dorr:
But not always the hardware is important. The software has it's part, and LG is known for their slow updates. For that Nexus 5 is the right choice. Don't get me wrong, I want to buy a G2, but LG history on updates is stopping me.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
IF it had 3000 mah for the 32 GB I would think of switching, but I don't think it will...

but if the article was wrong about the price of the 16 GB how can we trust it?
[G2 General] :
While the G2 is the best phone I've ever had if they don't update it and quick without months of delayed then it will be my last LG phone. Can't talk highly enough of the device but will be gone if they don't update it and never have my money again.

May get a Nexus 5 anyways as its cheap.
[G2 General] 2dorr:
Believe me, I said the same when I bought my first LG, 2X. After that I promised myself not to buy another LG, but now I like G2.
[G2 General] Noam23:
I don't see how this contradicts anything. So they've put the 16 gb version on play store and then removed it. There could still be a 32gb version...
[G2 General] Cst79:
I don't see any reason for the Nexus 5 not to have the GRAM feature. I'm thinking that this is probably why they concluded that a 2300mAh battery is enough. Otherwise it would barely last a day.
[G2 General] PAGOT:
I think you have problems to read or understand or math problem? Pick one. Also newest reports say there will be maybe 2...

Your article says 299 the newest leak 349. for the cheapest

Also you say 299 for 3000MAh the newest leak 2300MAh for the cheapest

you still do not see the difference?? or contradiction?

As your whole arguing was based on the PRICE and the BATTERY or MEMORY which is clearly not the case ?

Lets wait what it will be in the end. I do not think trying to scare users to sell their G2's "till they still can" is something nice.

Also if they sell it, then under the price they bought it. So they loose money in the process to get a device which might not be as good as the G2.

Your logic seriously makes no sense at all. Anywhere....

[G2 General] tiguy99:
I still don't understand the jump ship mentality going on around here re: Nexus 5 vs. G2. G2 is a Beast...check

its already Rooted....check

Roms are now coming out......check

If anything the Nexus 5 will be an excellent variant of the G2 and guess what, we get more variety with ROMS featuring Nexus 5 updated 4.4

Its a win win. Be patient guys
[G2 General] Ascertion:
Honestly there are very little similarities between Nexus 5 and LG G2. It's not a direct base - they're completely different devices.

G2 has a larger screen, higher resolution camera, larger dimensions, larger battery, different hardware button placement, and more. I really doubt that the Nexus 5 will have any effect on the G2's development as far as ports go.

I do believe that the G2 will be a great device, though (I have yet to get my Sprint variant.) The larger battery is the main selling point for me and for any needs of mine, I can simply modify it to my liking. KitKat 4.4 will no doubt reach the G2 soon so software isn't a big deal to me.
[G2 General] DaT Franchise:
Get them both, problem solved. Id say $299/$399 if there is in fact 2 versions

[G2 General] 19Interpol:
It's not disagreeing if they're just doing their jobs and reporting on the latest news :p
[G2 General] shook187:
Can't believe the OP...in his mind the extra 600 mAh would automatically make the Nexus 5 better, not once did he mention the G2 has a bigger screen and better camera.
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
The OP can't seem to comprehend arguments against him multiple times in this thread. He is better off selling the g2 and buying and kissing the nexus 5 @$$. He will be happy with that 2300 maH battery.
[G2 General] Walter21026:
Ok, well the OP has been flamed for 4 pages how much longer will this go on?

Just a feature they stripped out. It's supposed to be for automatic brightness.
[Sony Smartwatch] das7771:
Well the sensor is mounted in the unit. Might have been buggy before release, we could possibly get it back with an update or a mod to firmware at some future date.
[Sony Smartwatch] Felnarion:
Yeah, buggy. Along with the accelerometer, automatic brightness, watch faces, music controls, and everything else they showed off in their showcase videos that the watch doesn't even have or do.

computer not picking it up bc it doesn't have any internal memory. also there's no need for you update it through computer since it updates via your phone.

someone in another thread said he called Sony and they told him that there aren't any drivers. makes sense if the micro USB port is for charging only.

I really hope LG make a change and get better with updates! I would hope 4.4 is out this year for the G2, and I personally expect them to release 4.5 or 5.0 and maybe 1 update past that if the hardware can still handle it...
