delivery india is complex

my first order of nexus 4 arrived in a week .but when i ordered for nexus 7 and nexus 7 during nov. the order didnt arrived even after 6 weeks hence i mailed them and they told to ship it for free but i have to again pay the 3$ shipping.so i did still a month has been passed and it didnt arrive.so i guess i will never arrive ...dont know why but they are nice enough and issued a refund from their side...still waiting for it to come to my account...hopefully will come soon

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

is there any one else in india who sells similar skins
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sahilarora911:
Are you guys using Tracked Shipping or the "risky" option?

I did not know this thread existed before I ordered mine (just now). Hopefully I will get the order delivered.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] @punto:
i want to know one thing.... there are two kind of shipping:

1) canada post ($28)

2)local indian post:($5)

could you please say which postal service you opted...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sahilarora911:
My first order never came to me (risky shipping). I emailed them first after 4 weeks and they told me to wait another couple. Then I emailed again after another 2 weeks (total 6).

They reshipped it a few days back (4th Dec). Let's see if it makes it to me this time. BTW I live in New Delhi.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] _Behemoth:
My order arrived in 7 days via normal shipping. I lived in Noida then.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] madhairsilence:
Help me solve my dilemma

People who received , which one did you opt for?

Any reviews on risky options. I see these warnings

1. It arrives on time - Excellent

2. It arrives late -Ummm. OK.

3. It does not arrive at all - What concerns me

Risky shipping is $USD, but Reliable one is $28. Its way too costly

Some advise?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Daedulus Minion:
Did you use the tracked shipping or the risky one? How much time did it take you? I am from Mumbai.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sahilarora911:
I ordered through risky shipping. The first order never made it. They re-shipped on December 4th. That hasn't made it either and I don't have any hopes that it will arrive. I would recommend you order through tracked shipping.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] japmeet:
I have ordered two dbrand skins via the 'risky' shipping and they've come through on time. Don't know whether I was lucky or whether the indian post is actually reliable, lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Daedulus Minion:
Oh sad to hear that and thanks for your input. Tracked shipping is too costly though. I am searching for people who also want to order Dbrand skins and we will order as one package amd distribute the shipping costs.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sahilarora911:
Yup. That's defintiely a good plan.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nidheesh.ck:

Is anyone ordering skins , lemme know will be good if you are ordering in bulk.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nishthecooldude:
Hey bro am thinking of ordering! Let me know if ur still interested!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NishantM:
Hope you guys know about Skinnova by Gadgetshieldz. It's pretty good. I've installed on my N6 and it looks great. I got the delivery in Mumbai in 1 day flat. Check it out.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Seadra:
dbrand 4lyf. Why would u advertise and bump an old thread for gadgetshieldz
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NishantM:
Coz it's easier to get than getting dbrand?

Old thread? Check the date of the post that I replied.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Seadra:
easier how?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NishantM:
They have a base in India so they deliver it faster. In my case I got it in one day flat. Dbrand takes more than 20 days to reach India.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Seadra:
I have ordered around 20 times (for me , relatives, brother) from dbrand. iPhone 6 skins, n4, n5 skins. Neither one of the delivery took 20 days. All were average of 10-14 days and 3 times I have got it in 6 days. And for the quality dbrand gives, no one will want to move to any other company.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NishantM:
I have seen both and I can hardly see or feel a difference. And getting it in 2 - 3 days is better anyday than waiting even 14 days. And there are chances of things getting lost in transit too. E.g. I had ordered a Ringke Fusion for my N6 from their website which never reached me.

You're happy with dbrand while I'm happy with Skinnova. And I just gave an option. Peace!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sriram.vasudevan:
Any customs procedure?

I had ordered a dbrand skin about 2 weeks back and I had gone for the tracked shipping option. The current location says INDELA. I googled for the place and it looks like INDELA is India. I wanted to know if you have to go through some customs clearance procedure for it to get delivered, or if it will be mailed home directly. Thanks! :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anmolkakkar:
I ordered mine on 21st June 2015, through the risky shipping in Gujarat (Gandhinagar) for my Nexus 6 and LG G3

I haven't received it yet (been almost 5 weeks)

I have contacted them and there is no response. I am starting to think it will never come :'( now.

Bad experience
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cybervibin:
1 week each time i ordered.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jagdesh:
I order my Skin around 4th Aug, and after a few days when I went to my Dbrand account, under my orders it says that this order is completed as of July 15th!!! what the hell!!

There was no shipping confirmation email or tracking details shared with me and the order shows completed!!

I have sent three messages and I havent received one single response from Dbrand's side. Order no.429255, I havent received this order till now & did not receive any tracking information after sending them 3 messages. What is going on with my order, I dont know anything!!

Buyers please beware, they are very non-responsive company and you taking a huge risk by buying from them... Go for Slickwraps instead or any other skin manufacturer ..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sid843:
Have you received it now?

Have you received your skin now? Because even I have been waiting since a week and I haven't got any email regarding it. I emailed them but it no reply. What can I do now?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BleedBlue:
Is anyone ordering in bulk?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Daedulus Minion:
[MENTION=6480874]BleedBlue[/MENTION] No. I found a few but then they cancelled the plans. Are you interested?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BleedBlue:
Yes, are you planning on ordering?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Daedulus Minion:
[MENTION=6480874]BleedBlue[/MENTION] I am interested if there are few more people to distribute the $25 (or $28?) shipping cost among.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BleedBlue:
[MENTION=5351546]Daedulus Minion[/MENTION] Maybe the former people would still be interested in ordering?

I found a 15% discount code for Dbrand, 'XDA'
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Daedulus Minion:
[MENTION=6480874]BleedBlue[/MENTION] The discount is on the orders. I don't mind the skin price but the high shipping cost on which the discount isn't applicable. Also, since MKBHD launched his website, we can get 3 carbon fibre skins for the price of 1 so it makes this coupon redundant.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BleedBlue:
[MENTION=5351546]Daedulus Minion[/MENTION] do the mkbhd skins include the sides and back? They are $20 for 3, but one back skin is $10

[HTC One V] shubhamsizzles:
My out of warranty, overclocked, Sphongled! HTC One V overheated and froze. Shortly, it stopped charging and went Dead :crying:.

The customer service guys say its battery leaked and quoted 10k for fixing it (I bought it for around 17k) :mad: Should I try and fidget around the screws and see if I can somehow replace the battery myself? Where can I sell it for a decent price? (Squeaky clean and shining!) Really need your take on this!

P.S. Smartphones are a bad, bad way to lose your money!:(

[HTC One V] shubhamsizzles:
Thanks for the link!

Okay so I took my One V apart. I tested the battery with a multimeter, but it doesnt seem to accept charge. Would it be safe to plugin another Li-on 3.7 battery from a different model just to see if the device powers up?

I know i can order an original replacement battery, I want to confirm the problem is indeed with the battery and not with the mobo or somthing before i spend cash on a new battery.
[HTC One V] red de0392:
Well i don't think the problem is only with battery....

You can try...

What i think is...sice they say battery has leaked out... So it must have damaged ua IC or motherboard... So better test it...with some battery...before ordering a new one....
[HTC One V] ninad.mt:
Give it a try to see if it works..personally I wouldn't spend 10k on repairs.

Put in a few bucks more and you could buy a better phone..
[HTC One V] shubhamsizzles:
Tried replacing battery with a 3.7V Nokia :P. Didnt boot up. Guess the problem is with the Mobo. :crying:

There's no such thing as a "Russian" ROM. It doesn't exist. You need to find localization software like Paragon Software Leng. There are also products by Quarta and MacCentre. Search for them in RUnet.

Settings for Beeline are:

access point: internet.beeline.ru

login: beeline

password: beeline

That's it, no need to set anything else up.

Good Luck!

Tnx everyone for your help i will buy a new one .
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
Before buying a new charger, I would suggest confirming the exact problem first. You may be able to borrow a charger from someone (any USB charger with approx 2 Amp output will work, for example, from an iPad), or a cable. See what fixes the issue, and get a replacement. Also, if you have some average soldering skills, the cable can fairly easily be fixed at home (in case it is a faulty cable) - the wires usually break at the connector, and the OEM Sammy 30-pin connector is snap-assembled, not glued, so you can take it apart and put it back togethet. Good luck!

[IMPORTANT] HOW TO DO EFS BACKUP AND RESTORE FOR GT-I8552​

I Got PM Very Long Ago For Way To Backup Of "EFS" But In Last Two Weeks I Started Getting Request Again So Here Is The Simple Way I Wanna Share "How To Backup "EFS" For GT-I8552 :)

As There Is No CWM For Our Device That Supports "EFS" Backup And Also Third Party Apps Ain't Working Now What To Do :confused:

So Here We Go Then :- ;)

Q :- What is "EFS" ?

A :- "EFS" Folder Is The Very Sensitive System Folder That Contains Phone-Specific Information Such As The IMEI, Wireless Devices MAC Addresses, Product Code, And Much More. If This Thing Not Handled Properly, Can Turn Your Device Completely Useless As It Will No Longer Be Recognized By Your Carrier.

Problem Is, Flashing Custom ROMs Sometime Can Corrupt Contains Within "EFS" Folder. That’s Why Backing Up "EFS" Folder Is Very Important If You Love To Flash New ROM.

NOTE :- ROOT IS REQUIRED..!!

INSTRUCTIONS :-

EFS BACKUP

1. Download Android Terminal Emulator Or Download ROM Toolbox Pro Or ROM Toolbox Lite.

2. Open Terminal Emulator Or Terminal Emulator In ROM Toolbox App.

3. Use This Code To Backup "EFS"

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/efs.img

And hit Enter In Keyboard..

4. You Will Get efs.img In Your SDCard, Copy It To PC Or Upload On Storage Sites Like 4shared.com , Mediafire.com etc

EFS RESTORE

1. Download Android Terminal Emulator Or Download ROM Toolbox Pro Or ROM Toolbox Lite.

2. Open Terminal Emulator Or Terminal Emulator In ROM Toolbox App.

3. Use This Code To Restore "EFS"

su
dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

And hit Enter In Keyboard..

4. Guess What :confused: You Restored Your "EFS" :D ;) :p

Please Hit "THANKS" or "DONATE" To Support.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tonyjs007:

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Jasi2169:
Yes buddy it will restore u need root access for that thats all :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] ZANKRUT.DOSHI:
I already flashed jasp hd Rom before backing up efs partition now what should I do
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Jasi2169:
Np u can backup now efs.img just in case
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] kinchit1495:
We have to put backup of efs (.img file in internal storage or external while restoring it?? :|
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] coolkoushik07:
Bro did u restore it by this way? And can u tell me which information stored on mmcblk0p3 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Jasi2169:
internal as above command is for internal only

yes its working and p3 is for modem for our device..
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] coolkoushik07:
Ur given command is wrong. There is no sdcard directory, it would be sdcard0 or extSdCard. By the way can u tell me what is the work of bs command. Somewhere i saw people use bs=4096 while using dd command. Can u please explain it?

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Edit : my bad. Ur code is working too. I did a mistake by /storage/sdcard/ so it gave error. So ignore that part. But if u can please explain bs parameter.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] kinchit1495:
I think it ws wrong it should be sdcard0
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] mrgwin:
Nope. mine works fine, the output should be efs.img :)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] coolkoushik07:
I think bs stands for block size. But can anyone explain what it does?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] manojkumar8552:
thnxs bro for great in gt-i8552 :) ;)

Gt-i8552 rocksss!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] El_Dark:
The /sdcard/ *should* be universal on many samsung devices (at least I know it IS like that on the Galaxy Ace and on the Galaxy Win, i8550L that I own).

Regarding the bs operand of the dd command, in this case you don't need it, as you're acting directly over the EFS partition. In the use of this command the bs operand is used for when you're working with a whole disk.

Technical stuff below:

For example, if you don't have the precise /dev/block/mmcblk0pXXX of a partition (taking in consideration that /dev/block/mmcblk0 is the disk you want to read from), you can use dd in this way:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=4096 of=/sdcard/kernel.img

In the example, we're backing up the Kernel part of the phone (note that this is not real information, just an example, so don't blame me if you try to dump that command back in the phone assuming things you don't know xD), as you may (or may not) know, a disk is comprised of many blocks, you can google about that later :P it's quite late and don't wanna go on too deep so i'll try to be brief; if your disk is 512 mb in size, probably the first 32MB would be for boot, kernel, recovery, modem and NVRAM (not to be confused with modem), these 32 MB might be distributed this way:

1-1024MB Bootloader

1024-6144 Kernel+Recovery

6144-18432 Modem

18432-32768 NVRAM

and so on

Long story short, don't mess with DD ;)
