[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Yeah might as well. I would do that too if I'd paid extra for expedited it. He CONFIRMED with me the other day via Amazon that the XPs they're selling on there ARE in stock, so there's no reason for a delay, esp on expedited orders. Let me know what happens.

Yeah I know. I'm not liking this. Why the hold up if you HAVE it in stock now? I may e-mail them again tomorrow if it's still not departed from WA. They need to be straight with people. If I get the X after all this, no way I'm not filing a complaint via Amazon and prob giving them a bad review too. For THEIR sake, they better not F this up. lol

The one e-mail I got from them via Amazon says: Please DO NOT open an A-Z Claim with Amazon or leave us 1-3 STAR Review before allowing us to address and resolve the issue in your favor. If we fail to address your complaint, please feel free to write an honest review and contact Amazon for a claim.

Opening an A-Z Claim with Amazon for any reason (unless we are not responding) takes the matter out of our hands and hinders us from helping you to the best of our ability as well as negatively impacts our account with Amazon.

I'll tell them I won't file a complaint if they give me a discount. lol But if the XP doesn't ship out by tomorrow or ESP if I get the X, and they don't hook me up...... A-Z Claim fo' sho'! lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
I actually went to go through with the proceeding of returning this because I figured if it hasn't shipped out yet they could just easily refund without shipping the product. However they got back to me with that 15% restocking fee and that I can return it once I receive it acting like they had already sent it out but when I checked the tracking number it just says package has left seller and is in transit to carrier facility or whatever the f***. That was way earlier in the day after you showed me the eBay stuff. I just want the phone sooner than later.

BTW did you realize we are like the only ones keeping this xp forum alive lol. Sony is pushing ppl away. Almost us diehard fans
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Yeah that could just be a trick of theirs because now they know it'd be a hassle to return it. And where the F again did you see a 15% restocking fee on Amazon??? Is it mentioned on the XP Amazon page of theirs? Or just on their store page?? I could easily complain to Amazon and say well they lied and said they had it in stock but it took them X days to send it! I am furious and demand a refund or waiver for that restocking fee. I bet you Amazon would hook me up too. eBay prob too but Amazon I have more faith in. lol

So we're both in the same boat then. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens tomorrow. But it's like, they tell us don't file an A-Z Claim right off the bat, but sorry, when you aren't straight with the customer, you kinda deserve to get hit with one. lol

Yeah I realize it. lol Problem is, I've TRIED the other phones.........S7, HTC 10........just not good enough for me. I'd considered the LG G5 with the B&O DAC "snap-on", but the DAC didn't get very good reviews, and with the DAC the phone is even bigger than the S7 Edge, which was too big for me. So I have no choice. Not sure if I said this here or not, but unless I read somewhere that the XP gives you cancer, I'm STILL buyin' it! lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Tomorrow we will take whatever action. He should be more straight with us and risking getting two AZ claims. He should work with us. He told me about it through email it's not shown under amazon I don't believe so I don't know how legit that fee can be.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Ok. Yeah it won't be legit, and I'll make sure Amazon's aware of that if it comes to it.

So get this.........NGP just replied (via eBay though, but still):

New message from: ngp_store_usa (127Turquoise Star)

If title says F8132 and Xperia X Performance, it means you will get 100% what title says! Please note that we are shipping them by this Friday as per our listing or sooner.

Thank you!

Then I responded:

NGP,

Ok that's great that you're 100% sure it's the right phone, but why is it going out Friday if you already had them in stock 2 days ago when I put my order in via Amazon? This is misleading to the customer. You should've noted that on the Amazon page too for this phone, but you did not. I am not happy about this.

So they just ADMITTED they don't have them, or why else would they need like 5 days to ship it out?? They do say "or sooner", but I doubt it will ship before the 17th. I haven't decided if I'm going to press them on the late release yet. I DEFINITELY will if it's not out by Friday (17th), and/or if it turns out to be the X. How hard is it to put up the RIGHT pics? Expansys had the right one up. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
I wouldn't worry so much about whether it's the right phone or not basically it's blatant that it says Sony Xperia X performance and the internals are there and the technical specifications are there but the shipping date is definitely a problem and it's not making me happy so I'm going to have to wait till next week to possibly get this phone so I could have just waited instead of ordering right away to see prices but I ordered right away thinking that they had it in stock as they said they did and that I would get it by tomorrow. I want my shipping refund, and possibly more for misleading.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Yeah I think they did that so ppl (like us lol) would order from them vs. the competition because we thought we're getting it first. Since I didn't order expedited, I have less reason to complain than you do, but I'm going to let them know again I'm not happy about this (already said it once lol) and I expect some kind of discount or refund for this. We'll see. But yeah man, what a f'ing hassle just to buy a f'ing phone. Sony should've just released the XP first. FUHHCKK the X. They should've just made the XA and the XP. The X to me is pointless the more I think about it. It's not even getting very good reviews anyway.

I'll keep you posted when they respond. But yeah you have more reason to be mad so let loose man! lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Look at this. On their own website and cheaper and says in stock!

http://ngpstoreusa.com/product/sony-xperia-x-performance-f8132-dual-sim-factory-unlocked-gsm

Only advantage we get from Amazon is the 12 months payment plan which helps.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
They have their own site too?? Most Amazon sellers don't. lol

Yeah exactly. I'm glad you got that option too. I would demand AT LEAST $50-$75 off the Amazon price for saying it was in stock when it wasn't. I can say I found another seller somewhere that had it cheaper but had to wait longer for shipping that NGP stated we'd have to as a reason for the discount. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
We will correlate this tomorrow and figure out what this sellers deal is.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Ok sure. I doubt it will ship tomorrow though. "Or sooner" my a$$. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Another response. Try not to laugh lol:

New message from: ngp_store_usa (127Turquoise Star)

What is your amazon.com order #? We are not misleading, if you bought on amazon.com you will get it on Friday!

What is your order #? I will check I know they will deliver on time, dont worry! we are not misleading, please dont prematurely complain, unless your estimated delivery date on amazon.com expired! Amazon.com orders will be delivered faster!

Thank you!

Thoughts? I guess I will hold off complaining IF this is true. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
If it's too come by Friday the package should be moving today (Wednesday) and requires signature. I hope I'm home.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
I dunno. NGP claims it will go out tomorrow not today but will still be here by Friday..................

New message from: ngp_store_usa (127Turquoise Star)

Yes, it will change, item should be showing picked up by Thursday morning, and you should get it on friday by Fedex. I know Fedex Estimated delivery will be off, but thats only because of lots of back-orders and we are fulfilling as fast as we can.

and then

New message from: ngp_store_usa (127Turquoise Star)

Sure, no problem! Amazon.com allows us these dates for your order: Thu, Jun 16, 2016 to Tue, Jun 21, 2016, however I see that on my end here that on Friday should be delivered.

I guess it's possible that if Fedex gets it by early Thurs that I could have it by Friday.......we'll see. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] augie7107:
I ordered one through ngp_store_usa through their Ebay store and I have a tracking number. Looking it up, it only shows label printed so no movement yet.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Hey Augie,

Yeah same here. But I ordered it through NGP's Amazon page. NGP contacted me and said the Amazon orders would ship first. They swear that I will have it by Friday. We'll see. lol They said it will ship out by tomorrow so I guess they're overnighting it now? I dunno.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] augie7107:
​

Good to hear from you, thought you left for HTC:)

Time will tell, keep us posted.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Well I haven't heard anything from them yet in regards to returning my shipping money however my estimated date or a little bit before yours mine says by the 17th with expedited so I guess I gotta go by that.

I just don't know how it'll get to NY from Washington I believe they ship from in a day with a 2 day shipping label.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Likewise!

I did......... had it for a few days actually. Really nice, but like the S7, not nice enough. lol The camera on the S7 had more detail (you could zoom in on writing and actually read it) than the 10's, but the 10's seemed in some cases to be more color accurate. But there's various pros & cons with both that make the XP the best choice IMO.

Yeah will do. It will be nice to FINALLY have it in my hands. lol I really didn't think anyone was gonna sell it until early July.

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Yeah see on Amazon mine says June 16th - June 21, but on Fedex's tracking site it says TODAY. lol NGP again said I would definitely get it by Friday, so I can wait 2 more days since I didn't do expedited. But if it's not here by Friday, they will either give me a discount or else I'm complaining. They told me at least twice it'd be Friday, so there's no excuse now if it's late.

Yeah they will do 2-day for you. I don't know how it's gonna work either. They may just send both overnight tomorrow? For their sake, they better not F this up.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
I just got a response from them telling me

"Looks like your package got held up, we are trying to get this resolved as soon as possible. We apologize for the delay. Thank you for your patience."

When I asked why hasn't my package started moving when I selected expedited shipping to be put forward as a priority send out. I don't think I can leave good feed back for this.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Wow dude! How do these ppl have a perfect 100% rating when they do stuff like this? How does it get "held up"? It never even shipped out. I'm tired of ppl not being straight with ppl.

Keep me posted. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for a Fri delivery. lol But I WILL get payback one way or another if not.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
I just sent them a long email about how unhappy I am with this process not being transparent. About how the listing said 30 day warranty, brand new, in stock. I ordered it expedited to get it within the week, yet the package still hasn't shipped out when the order was placed on a Sunday night. Two days later I call T-Mobile to start a brand new account have them ship me a SIM card and now it appears that that SIM card was shipped 3 days later after order is going to get to me before this phone so now I'm going to be paying for a day or two or more of service without having a phone to use it with. I am extremely unhappy.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Geez. And I mean, you did everything I would've done too. You can prob ask T-Mo to temporarily suspend your account. They're pretty flexible like that. But don't tell NGP they did that if they do. LOL

Keep me posted.

If Sony Mobile had just sold these like a NORMAL f'ing company instead of this unlocked BS, we wouldn't have to deal with this stuff. Un-f'ing'-real. And note too that b/c the phone shows as shipped, NGP got their money already too. F'ers.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
They replied to my long email

"We apologize for not being clear. There was a delay with FedEx and it wasn't showing the updated status on your order. You should be able to see that it is on its way to you by tomorrow morning and you should receive the package on Friday. Thank you once again for your patience and understanding."

So I'm not sending any more emails. I'm done dealing with them. I just hope the phone arrives with no defects and that I don't have to deal with these people anymore.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Ok nice that they responded quickly at least.

It's BS that u paid more and are still getting it Friday, but whatever. Up to you if you wanna go after them for a refund still. But ok the bright side is, assuming all goes well, we'll BOTH have our phones by Friday! They told me the same thing remember? Check early Thursday on Fedex site and get it by Friday. So let's just sit tight and see what happens then. They COULD be telling the truth too about the Fedex holdup, but that doesn't excuse you getting it the same time as me. I think you ordered yours within like an hour after I did too.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Got the Vinve XP case today. Wasn't really happy with it. Too soft/flimsy. I guess there's a difference b/t TPU and SOFT TPU cases. lol Gonna return it and just bought this Terrapin one which doesn't say "soft" so I think will be more like my usual TPU clear cases. We'll see on Friday.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
1pm CST......... NO changes noted on Fedex tracking page EXCEPT "Scheduled Delivery" at right upper corner now says "Pending" instead of 6/15/2016. lol

So I guess these messages from 2 days ago were BS lol:

New message from: ngp_store_usa (127Turquoise Star)

Thank you!

Note how they transition from "will" to "should" get it on Friday. lol

I also e-mailed them about 24 hours ago asking for a FULL description of what that 30-day warranty covers. Still no response.

U?

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Wait......JUST got a text message from Fedex with a NEW tracking #............this one states the shipment is "in transit" and is scheduled to be delivered by tomorrow morning at 10:30am! But now instead of showing that it's shipping from Washington it shows this delivery as shipping from Hong Kong. So I guess they're priority overnighting it? lol

I only got that link via my phone #. So check your phone for any texts from Fedex. Says signature's required so make sure you or someone is there to sign for it tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Mine still says pending. I'm beyond angry. They are getting 1 star from me.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Send them another e-mail ASAP then. Maybe they or Fedex doesn't have your phone # on file. I got mine via text only (no e-mail notification).

Again my original tracking # STILL says pending, but then I got this new one from them this morning. It's quite possible you have one too that just hasn't gotten to you yet.

They responded on warranty too. Looks like a standard warranty.......... probably will just get the Worth Ave. insurance right away. Only defects the phone "comes with" are covered. Accidental damage, theft, etc are NOT covered.

[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
I see the new tracking number under where's my stuff. Should be here tomorrow by 12 pm.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
F yeah!! Awesome man! lol Glad to hear it. Maybe in your area Fedex delivers a little bit later than mine. But either way, it's coming early in the day.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Yeah I'm excited. Anything from t mobile about band 12, HD voice and volte?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
No not yet. I told the guy to give it a few more days then get back to me. I was gonna follow-up with him tomorrow if he hadn't contacted me yet.

If there's no go of it, I figure even though it's a long shot, it'd still be easier to persuade T-Mobile to change their minds about the certification than Sony to do it. lol I got John Legere's (T-Mobile's hilarious CEO lol) e-mail from online, so I'm gonna try to contact him. Let him know this certification is very "Un-Uncarrier"-like of them to do, and maybe by some off chance he'll change his mind and cancel that requirement. Yeah I know, long shot lol..........but can't hurt. But still, at least we'd get Band 12

for data

while ON a call (assuming it DOES have VoLTE.........did we ever confirm if it did or not?? lol). But if it doesn't, then when not on a call we'd get it, which I care more about than the voice thing. Have to ask yourself which one you will use more, and for me it's the data. lol

Guess a bunch of people here hope you'd receive you mobiles sooner so that you guys can finally start reporting on the X Performance instead of your experience with shops and delivery timelines :p

On a more serious note, very much looking forward to read your hands-on user report. I need a new phone too, hence your verdict could be decisive... :D
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] augie7107:
Charging mine up now.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] kms108:
I went to collect mine from a local shop today, spent an hours checking through the phone, and just when I was gonna say ok, found a dead pixel, checked a second one, had minor scratch/dint on the corner, need to wait til 29th for the second batch, quite happy that I found these problem before I took them home, although I can just go back to the shop and change them again, just a waste of time.

Still have my LG G5 to use, only got that about 2 months ago.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Haha NO SH*T sxtester! Well, I'm INCREDIBLY HAPPY to report the X Perf dual-sim int'l version DID arrive this morning, and early too! Was supposed to be here by 10:30am CST, but got here about 8:30 via Fedex. Had to sign for it. Opened it up..........and WOW..........it's IMMACULATE!!!!!!!!! lol

Augie......NICE!!

kms..........good catch man!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Well I won't be receiving mine until Monday FedEx f***** up the shipping and it's still stuck in New Jersey in transit to New York and they won't deliver it Saturday so it will resume on Monday.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Oh brother! I hope you let NGP have it then.

I've been busy today so haven't played with phone yet, but will shortly. At least you'll have it on Monday. Most people probably don't even know the phone's available yet.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
In euro and international models it only days LTE but it means 4glte over there. US is only one that does 4g LTE.

If you flash us firmware you'll get that symbol. So it doesn't go down to 4g on a call that doesn't seem right?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Ok. I'd read that elsewhere too but nice to have it reconfirmed. lol Thanks.

I'll consider that, but for now I'm fine with it.

Yeah man, I don't know why. Posted some questions on here and sent a few PMs as well to ppl in the Z5 forum. Also e-mailed that support tech guy from T-Mobile about it (and asked if Sony had made contact yet too lol) about 10 minutes ago. It shouldn't be doing that, but IF it can't be fixed, I guess I can live with it since it's only during calls anyway.

But if you follow everything I said, you will LOVE your XP when it arrives. I took a couple pics in Superior Auto Mode (20MP; 16:9) and even when you zoom in, details galore! lol Best EVER Xperia camera for sure!!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
It's unbearable I'm off this weekend I gotta work all day Monday so technically I won't be able to use it til possibly Tuesday..
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
I'm sorry man. lol If it makes you feel any better, I've waited 3-4 MONTHS for this phone. lol

You got the Z3v though. I had the S7. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Do you think flashing the US XP flashware on my int'l XP would have any effect on resolving that 3G issue during calls? Or no?

Might it bring VoLTE? Do we know if the US version even has VoLTE yet?? lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] sxtester:
If a phone (or carrier) does not support VoLTE but is connected to LTE (=4G) for data, it has to fall back to WCDMA=UMTS=3G in case it receives a call (or you place one). So, this is perfectly normal and no issue. In fact, if it wouldn't fall back to 3G you'd not be able to place/receive calls at all.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] augie7107:
If you flash US firmware, you will most likely lose fingerprint sensor. US model will not have one, so I'm guessing the code necessary to run it will be excluded from that firmware. I can live with the 4G only symbol. Been on international unlocked versions for years.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] MGSBigBoss:
Flashing US firmware will make the fingerprint sensor not active. And if you're willing to sacrifice that for better data connectivity the US version of phone is one to get as you can flash international firmware for fingerprint sensor
