[Nexus 6P Accessories] mkouk:
I really liked their cable so looking forward to a revised version!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krs360:
Applied for a refund this morning, half an hour later got an email from Paypal saying it's done.

They have deducted the postage costs though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] maurizze:
Does this also count for their Type C adapter? :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krs360:
Yes.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nthai:
I just applied for my refund, thank you for sharing!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jt3:
Yes, thanks for this. I have 6 total cables purchased for my Nexus 6P and my wife's Nexus 5X. I will certainly repurchase the updated cables, and appreciate the refund for these. I just hope they use the refund information to contact us when the new cables are available.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Glad this was able to help some of you guys. I applied for my in last night around midnight and had an email from them this morning with a refund.

[Android General] dave_speed:
Hi Forum,

i look for a phone with a very good battery time and a very good camera.

Nexus phones are out because of bad battery time.

Since this year i own a Note 4.

I has a real good camera http://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles , a very long battery time and (what i really like) a replaceable battery. Powerpacks are crap, if you have to use the device but it is connected with a cable in your pocket to a powerbank.

i checked for a stable release, i want a really stable phone. I dont care for cyanogen 12 or 13, it has to be stable. Means bluetooth with my car, with a speaker. Or no crashes with the camera. Something i missed with my Galaxy S3 since for many phones CM is ported by hobbiists. If they sell their phone, cyanogen support is away. If they dont bring out a stable release, there is no company you can go to, like with my S3 over 12 months.

Or with my international Note 4 https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=trltexx&type=snapshot there is no stable release and the phone is out since more than a year.

So, is there a phone with a good battery and a very good camera (like Moto C play), if possible not so much bader than my current one with support for Cyanogen not from 3 hobby devs ?

I did not know there was a 2 unit limit. I presume the limit holds true even if they are shipped to different addresses? My friend ordered me one since they have prime.

[Fire General] alfick3:
I was able to make three purchases of two each to get 6 total. When I was submitting the third and final order, it said I had just made a similar order and did I want to continue. I told it yes and it went thru. 'Course, now I won't get em until 21st or 22nd of December, but that's OK.
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
If anyone is looking to get the Fire in the US, ordering it from Best Buy online for in store pickup is the best way to go. I ordered it this morning and it is already in store whereas amazon has it backordered until December 17th+. You could probably cancel your orders and buy it this way instead.
[Fire General] alfick3:
Thanks for that info. Is it $35 there as well?
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
Yes. Same price. Much more convenient IMO.
[Fire General] spinach.chin:
UPS says mine arrives on Monday. I don't think I've ever been so excited to get a $35 gadget, haha.
[Fire General] jak341:
Picked one up in store yesterday at Best Buy. Open box special.

Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but the price was too good to pass up.
[Fire General] Ace42:
One of mine arrived yesterday, the other should come around the 30th.

Anyway, this is a pretty good device so far. I made sure to replace the Fire OS with CM12.1 and now it really flies compared to the original Kindle Fire. At first I was concerned with the resolution, but now I'm fine with it not being 720P. I mean for $35 I can't really have it all.

Also I would suggest using the Supertool posted in the index.
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
Did you know it was at Best Buy already or was I of assistance to you with my post in the thread?
[Fire General] jak341:
I actually was researching this tablet because of price and read your thread to get some impressions.

The open box special was just a good finding.
[Fire General] Hedied4me:

[Fire General] t3chwizard:
Glad I could help!!!! Loving this tablet so far. Beats my 2011 Kindle Fire by far.
[Fire General] naruto.ninjakid:
Lol I was disgusted. I'm not buying a case that's 1/3 the cost of the device. The Amazon official cases are even 24.99 comically.
[Fire General] hp420:
The people that have already gotten theirs....did your original date say you would get it this fast, or did it just suddenly ship earlier than you thought?

Mine still says Dec 18 :(
[Fire General] blueberry.sky:
I ordered mine within an hour of it going on the $35 sale. Arrived Friday Nov 27. At that time I believe it said "In stock" & how fast it arrived just depended on what shipping was used + where you live. My friend with prime actually ordered mine for me, so it was the standard free "2 day" shipping that comes with prime. They also ordered one for themselves & theirs is due to arrive Monday. I live near a major city, they don't. Postal service was just slower for them & it hit the weekend delay.

Slightly interesting to note that the stamp on inside of the plastic shell of my fire says that part was molded 19 days before it arrived on my doorstep. And the final assembly might have been even more recent. They are building Fires as fast as they can. You may have to wait a bit but don't think your Fire is just sitting in a warehouse waiting.
[Fire General] hp420:
I'm no stranger to device back-ups...I'm a Nexus user :D Good info, though, thank you. With a date that recent I agree, I think I'll be waiting at least a week before it ships. I opted for the 1-day shipping since it's only $4. Also, I have prime, but my estimated shipping window is the second half of the week and I didn't want to hit weekend shipping like your friend. I hate when that happens. I've had packages get to my local PO on Saturday afternoon, then they sit until Monday and there's nothing you can do.

Oh, and I ordered at about 4am on Friday 28th, NY time.

One more thing...I ordered a second one for my sister to be shipped to Florida, a few hours later, and the estimated shipping date is the 23rd, so that may give us an idea of just how fast they were moving at that point!! That's 5 days later than mine, only a few hours later.
[Fire General] Ace42:
I ordered mine on the 26th, email said by the 27th, and it came Friday. Later I decided to get another one with no-rush shipping.
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
Really great tablet. Hope a bootloader unlock comes eventually.

[Fire General] traviscthall:
I wonder if rushing to fulfill all these orders will result in higher failure rates or lower build quality units getting shipped out the door :confused:
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
I drove by an Amazon fulfilment center this weekend and the parking lot was absolutely packed, so they are definitely working really hard to get everything out.
[Fire General] hp420:
Good to know. I keep checking back every day to see if mine have shipped, but nothing yet :(
[Fire General] kmmccorm:
I just got mine ... I had the lowest possible expectations for this, and that was about right. The display on this thing is like hot garbage. Going back to my Nexus 5X after 15 minutes or so was amazing. $35 is cheap as hell so I'm certainly not complaining but please temper your expectations if you haven't received it yet. The screen size is so awkward too, so tall compared to the width.
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
It's still amazing compared to my 2011 kindle fire 1st gen. I can actually use this for schoolwork.
[Fire General] Torrential91:
Ordered mine around 6am Thursday after the sale went live. Scheduled to arrive today.

I got one as a gift for my girlfriend, and another one for myself (for $35, why not?). Cases and SD cards have already arrived, just waiting for the tablets. I'm trying to wait until the holidays before opening mine, but I'm excited. :P I like messing with and customizing my devices, but honestly I'm looking forward to the Prime-centric nature of the Fire. Sure, I'll sideload apps like Chrome and whatnot, but I think I'll stick with the stock OS. I really like the idea of downloading Amazon Instant shows for offline viewing.

I know not to expect much, but for $35 it was too good to pass up.
[Fire General] howzitnow:
I got 2 in the 3rd week of October and they are perfect. The 2 I ordered on Thanksgiving (and came yesterday) both had dead pixels and need to be replaced, so yeah, I think they are getting sloppy. :( The replacements won't be here until after Christmas. :mad:

If you got them as gifts I recommend opening and checking them before you wrap them.
[Fire General] plazma247:
I ordered two and I must say for £35 a go in the UK. One made a creaking sound from the back cover when held, on inspecting I realised the back cover was just clipped on. So I pulled it off (carefully mind). My fix two small half circles of black electrical tape on the two lower corners, slapped the back on (over the hidden spacer tape) no more creaky noise. I'm not knocking them I was actually impressed, I loved the fact it's going to be super easy to replace parts in these (especially a battery). OK the screens sub par resolution, but its honestly now awful it's more than usable, kill off all the Amazon bloat with fire (pun intended) and I was blone away by both the battery life of the 2980mAh cell and the quad core CPUs performance for the money. Considering its as powerful as my old s3 and they sell for £80-£120 it really is a lot of tablet for virtually next to no money.

I was just able to play a 720p x264 video natively, 1080p DTS was a complete no go, but that's no shock, the s3 has fairly similar spec in the CPU trousers department and is just the same. But emby/Plex transcode/serve down to 720p (remember the screen is only 1024) and its happy as Larry. OK it's a rear mono speaker, but it was nice to see the inclusion of a mono downmix option (not just play one channel). Cameras sub par, but its better than no front/rear camera at all, fine for a quick snap or video call.

My only gripe was the packaging I can't understand why and who came up with the idea for the box, I get it was to save money, but I think they saved 50p to much, a proper plastic insert would like saved them the returns due to the ones damaged in transit due to it and they could have kept the wedge shape box.

Hail Amazon for not being evil (cough cough tesco hudl 2) and locking it down so hard no mods could be made.

@kmmccorm, bear in mind the nexus 5x has 1.875x (nearly) double the resolution (screen is actually the same dimensions 16:9) as the 5x, I've a nexus 6p but was more than happy using the little fire.
[Fire General] julianpaul:
Try it with mx player. 1080p works with full hardware acceleration. I think I tried with an ac3 track, not sure if i've checked with dts.

I never expected this tab to play videos so well. And i don't really notice the screen's lack of resolution and slightly yellow tint when playing video, just in the OS. In fact going to my moto e 1st gen from this tab feels like a step down in display quality (yeah it's a crap phone)
[Fire General] YellowGTO:
I installed CM12 on two of these (Couldn't get ROCCAT app to work stock). I love them. Im going to buy a few more and hang a few up on the walls.
[Fire General] EVOL-LOVE:

I got one and seems okay for the price.
[Fire General] plazma247:
[MENTION=4327634]julianpaul[/MENTION] Thanks for the tip, I stopped using MX a while back since vlc got a little better, will have to have another go. I would actually suspect with its quad core CPU and being able to do hw video DTS decode likely works OK to.
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
I use VLC as my daily music player. I hate the android media scanner, and since VLC plays music by scanning folders themselves it is the best for this IMO.

Amazon's stock has finally replenished. My order, expected to arrive Dec 18, is ready to ship tomorrow, Dec 8.
[Fire General] TallGrassShort:
Mine originally said it would ship on Dec 14. But it ended up shipping a few days ago. Honestly though, don't try to guess when it will ship based on other's experiences. With stuff like this on Amazon, ordering an hour later than someone else can mean a world of difference.
[Fire General] hp420:

[Fire General] hp420:
Mine just came today. I've been playing around for a bit, got slimLP flashed, etc...I have to say, for $35 I'm very happy. I don't think I could have possibly expected any more than I've got here for the price, so anyone complaining, seriously...you need to re-evaluate yourselves. You've got a great deal here!!
[Fire General] jamoosh:
I Just received mine in the mail today, significantly earlier than projected.

Is there a way to check the installed software version without turning it on and accepting the 5.1.1 update, if applicable?
[Fire General] blueberry.sky:
It's safe to turn it on. It will ask you if you want to use english then ask you to turn on wifi / select a network to connect to, CANCEL at this point. Do not select a wifi network & it won't turn on wifi, won't try to update. You can then go into settings to check your version.

Are you looking to install a custom rom? If so, you don't even need to ever boot up the Fire into amazon's OS. You can go straight to fastboot mode, load twrp recovery & install your rom.

When did you order & what was the original projected in stock date at that time?

I ordered a 2nd Fire on 11/28 & amazon said it would be "in stock" 12/22.
[Fire General] jamoosh:
Hi blueberry.sky,

Thanks much for your reply. The information that you've provided is extraordinarily helpful. My intention is to install a custom rom, but I will need to read further so as to avoid any errors.

I ordered in the evening of 11/26, around 11:00 PM CST. My original estimated delivery time was 12/22-12/28. I received an update on 12/06 that it would be delivered between 12/11-12/16. Yesterday, I was sent an update indicating that they would be delivered today, and today I received them.

I ordered two, one to hack around with, and one as a gift. I'm excited to root and flash custom firmware, but don't want to do anything that would make it impossible to do so.

Thanks again.
[Fire General] blueberry.sky:
Glad to help. Sometimes the hardest part of installing a rom is tracking down the steps you need. Especially, if you haven't done it before or it's just been awhile.

Are you on windows?

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Steps

See twrp-recovery post #2 "Basic Directions", includes video.

1 ) install adb / fastboot drivers on your pc

howto-install-drivers-adb-fastboot-mode

I'd install the fastboot driver first & just leave the adb one for later. Only need fastboot to load twrp recovery.

2 ) Place your rom + gapps onto a microSD. Insert into Fire tablet.

3 ) Download twrp recovery. twrp-recovery Boot into fastboot & load twrp recovery.

4 ) Follow directions in the thread for your rom to wipe the Fire & install rom + gapps (+ superSU for CM12.1).

5 ) ? ? ? ? (reboot)

6 ) Profit!
[Fire General] jsbeagle:
I just got my second fire today (first from the $35 sale). It shipped Dec 7th, so I was worried it might have come with 5.1.1 preloaded. I just booted (didn't let it connect to wifi) and its still on 5.0.1. Time to disable OTA
[Fire General] blueberry.sky:
When did you order?
[Fire General] el7145:
Oh thank god, I just asked this in another thread. I'm hoping all the ones that are still shipping are all 5.0.1

Thanks for posting this info, hopefully others as they get them will confirm it shipped stock with 5.0.1
[Fire General] jsbeagle:
Nov 26

The original estimated arrival was Dec 17 or 18

Its now rooted, debloated, xposed installed, and OTA disabled
[Fire General] hp420:
I ordered one Nov 26th and one the following day. They shipped Dec 7 & 8 and both were preinstalled with 5.0.1 still, despite being manufactured within a week of shipping, and after the 5.1.1 update was pushed.

I didn't even bother updating FireOS...straight to AOSP for these ones.
[Fire General] BoulderGeek:
Whee! New $35 Fire, came with 5.0.1, delivered 12/10/15.

Cyanogenmod installed and working well. Nice value.
[Fire General] el7145:
Mine just came in today as well, and came with 5.0.1 also.

great deal for 35! but man it feels so cheap, feels like im going to break it just holding it. I wish I woulda bought 2 though
[Fire General] t3chwizard:
Get the Amazon case for it. It makes it feel a bit more sturdy.
[Fire General] kleydejong:
Just got mine last night.
[Fire General] jamoosh:
Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. I'm not a regular participant in the forums here.

I flashed the 12/16 version of Cyanogen Mod and am pretty impressed so far. I'm not sure if I need to run the ADB commands to block the OTA updates again, but might try to do be certain.

Mine came with FireOS 5.0.1, which was not as bad as I expected it to be.

Thanks again.
[Fire General] blueberry.sky:
No worries about OTA. The OTA apks are gone when you move to any custom rom. They were in the system partition along with the amazon OS & since that's were the custom rom gets installed, it's all been overwritten. Tho running the ADB OTA blocking commands won't harm anything. It's good to be cautious. That 5.1.1 update is evil imho, killing our ability to boot twrp recovery.
[Fire General] jamoosh:
Thanks much. Thats kind of what I had presumed, but I figured it's better to be safe than sorry.
[Fire General] snark.shark:
Got mine last week, loved it, but discovered a dead pixel on Thursday. You only see it against solid black and it's near the top edge of the screen (assuming the camera is the top) about a third of an inch down, and to the left a bit, so it took a few days to spot it.

Whatever else can be said good or bad about Amazon they really got on the stick for a mere $35 purchase. They shipped me a replacement with SUNDAY delivery (poor USPS mailmen who have to do Amazon's Sunday bidding!)

Not yet at the point where I can really closely eyeball it to make sure there isn't another dead pixel. I do recommend though that you all do what I intend to do--run a Dead Pixel testing program (there are a few in the Appstore).

My one quirky complaint is that they don't include anything in the new package talking about the return. It makes sense in a way though--the packages are likely completely prepped (probably even sealed--just not labeled) well before the holidays. And when you login to Amazon.com you don't even get any kind of notice there. You actually have to realize you have to go to your order history, look at your ORIGINAL order and smell out the "Print Return Label" details there.

Another pain is that I'd had enough time to completely tweak the thing the way I wanted to and now have to redo all of that. Most of my apps are Amazon store, so I can get them quickly back from the Cloud, but I imagine all my progress in games has to be resynced back up, the beautifully efficient series of subfolders I had setup on my desktop has to be recreated, and of course my backdoor access to the regular Play store redone, etc. Oh well. Luckily I hadn't felt a need to do a full root. Really, this is probably the best $35 I spent all year (I probably would have gotten two if I'd known--I suppose I DO have two now but even this cheap I don't want a dead pixeled unit I could avoid).
[Fire General] singlebyte:
Only issue I have seen on CM 12/16 ROM is you need to ADB Install GooglePlayGames. When trying to install from playstore it comes up with -505 error. Other than that....All is great!
