heya,

Just thought I'd post an update, the item from yaocard (http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=yaocard&Dirn=Received+by) arrived, I tested it with H2testw, and it does indeed appear to be a 2Gb card faked as 32Gb.

Thanks to all the members here who helped me, I probably would have gone on ahead unawares for some time without realising.

It's a real shame that there's fraudulent people in the world like this, and also that eBay seems to just let them keep operating.

Anyhow, I've opened a dispute in PayPal requesting a refund, and I've also sent him/her the quite annoyed message below asking for a full refund. Hopefully they'll just refund it, and it'll all be a civil affair.

Also, in PayPal, their name appears as "姚 利华", and their email as yaoming_2009@126.com. Weird, because that doesn't seem to match their other addresses.

Anyhow, thanks again to the forum members for your help =) (psp888/cmarti, if you're ever in Sydney, happy to shout you a beer) will let you all know how this goes.

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One General] victorhooi:
heya,

They just sent me a reply, asking if I could post the item back, and they'd refund when they'd received it.

However, I'm really not in a mood to post back, at my cost, their fake 2Gb card - and knowing them, I have a feeling I would have to use Registered Post, unless I wanted it to mysteriously not arrive. And it feels suspiciously like stalling tactics, although I'm not sure why they would do this.

I'm not sure if I can still request a refund via PayPal without the item shipping back, or whether I should just go ahead and file a chargeback dispute? Does anybody have any advice on how to handle eBay/PayPal here?

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One General] saint327:
Just wanted to follow up. Got the card today and it was indeed a fake. Appears to be a 1GB card. Opened up a case with ebay and it says I should be refunded within 14 days. Seller's account was closed, so I don't have to fool with them first.

I must say though they do a pretty darn good job at making these things look legit. It cost them about $4 to ship it to me via registered mail, or at least that is the rate stamped on the envelope.
[Nexus One General] victorhooi:
heya,

They sent me back another message saying that 1. they don't know what happened, and 2. postage should only be USD 1-2. Pftt, as if I'm about to pay for their postage. Well, I received a full refund anyway via PayPal, so I consider the matter closed.

I'm still not quite sure how you "accidentally" ship a fake 32Gb card, and if you look back through (http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=yaocard&Dirn=Received+by), they seem to have done the same to a large number of people, so I'm disinclined to believe them.

Anyhow, I've left them negative feedback, so hopefully other people won't be stung. Although I doubt that - does anybody else find it weird that eBay doesn't give you an easy way to see all the negative feedback from a seller? It's like they don't want it easily accessible. Not sure why.

Cheers,

Victor

I've got a (legit) 32gb Sandisk Class 2 in my Nexus and it works very well.

Don't be turned off by class 2, we did some benchmarking against class 4 and 6 cards, and the 32gb class 2 was right up there at 6.86MB/s Write, 10.65MB/s Read (J Benchmark Test for Developer app from market used for speeds).

Compared to a class 6 16gb Transcend which scored 6.69MB/s Write, 9.03MB/s Read.

Highly recommend the Sandisk class 2 32gb, got mine for $170 AUD delivered.
[Nexus One General] niematunikogo:
i've just ordered sandisk 32gb class 2 on allegro.pl (most popular ebay-like site in PL).

I paid 380 PLN ~=115USD ~= 93 EURO

seller seems reliable so... waiting for delivery and OTA :D
[Nexus One General] mlevin:
Yeah, I almost ordered one until I realized it was only class 2 :(
[Nexus One General] niematunikogo:
stock card is also class 2 ;)

I hope this is enough...
[Nexus One General] android01:
Anyone notice that right on sandisks website, if you click where to buy" it shows provantage and J&R selling them for less than 150 bucks? Even tho its 200 from thier site? :eek:

Manufacturers don't generally undercut their distributors in price, or they'll piss them off and lose sales volume.
[Nexus One General] blunden:
Could you tell us what buffer setting etc. you used in J Benchmark? It seems it makes a lot of difference. Sandisk seems to downrate all their microsd cards, sometimes by quite a lot, like their Class 4 performing like a theoretical "Class 11" in a test I read. In the test it outperformed Kingston's Class 10 while being cheaper. I guess it could be down to sample variance though. Therefore it would be interesting to see other people run the same tests. :)
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
Class 10's are great if the phone supports it. IMO the nexus one is about class 4 speed, so up to 10 is wasted. Fast card tho! :D
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
I was thinking about swapping out the stock card for my 8G Transcend (class 4) but I quickly remembered that particular card has always been trouble in Windows Mobile, and within 10 minutes of transferring via USB cable it locked up in my Nexus One twice, so that card is going in the trash...

But I did some j Benchmarks between the two.. Each are Write and Read and speeds in that order, in megs/sec.. Interesting variations. I didn't shut down everything on the phone, but did kill all extraneous stuff first.

Stock 4g (c4, Jbench (10m, 8k)

Write, Read

3, 4.5

4.5, 4.8

6.2, 9.51

4, 5

4.6, 5.8

4.5, 5.4

Transcend 8G (c6), JBench (10m, 8k)

Write, Read

5.4, 8.6

5.85, 8.8

6.3, 8.4

6, 10.4

5.4, 10.4
[Nexus One General] mcbooth:
10MB test, 8KB buffer seems to produce the best results.
[Nexus One General] blunden:
I saw someone saying that such a big card caused huge delays whenever mediascanner had scan the card, like when you toggle USB mount etc. Is this noticeable? I'm thinking of buying one of these and have for some time.
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Nope, same difference with my 16Gb.
[Nexus One General] mingkee:
I am using them (yes, two of them. One of them is in nexus one).

First one I purchased from memoryc (an vendor from Ireland) for $132, the second one I purchased locally from J&R (jandr.com) for $120.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I have the kingston class 10 and it is no faster in the phone than the stock silicon. Take it out and plug it into the puter though and its hugely faster. Based on what I now know after taking the plunge on the (supposedly) faster sd I would skip it unless I routinely used the card in the puter to transfer a lot of or large files.
[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
16gb class 10 results

I bought a Wintec 16gb class 10 and then later found a thread discussing it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9305407#post9305407

In my Nexus 8MB write 13MB read. On my laptop 10.5 write 17.7 read.

[HD2 General] sabo2000:
I am a Andriod user, recently went and got an HTC HD2 for T-mobile USA, I am pretty good at useing Andriod have rooted several devices. With that said two questions:

1) Does flashing/rooting the HD2 void any warranties? I have looked in the warranty guide before asking however the lit in there sucks!

2) Has ant one ported Andriod to the HD2, and what is the success of it?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
1) Yes Flashing a custom rom does void your warranty, but it can be reversed.

2) No, It has not been ported yet
[HD2 General] sabo2000:
Thanks Zelendel! :D
[HD2 General] bobdavisnpf:
check the t-mobile support site re: warranty issues. Basically if you brick your phone in a manner that can't be un-bricked, you's kind of SOL unless you were on an official release and going to an official release.

Check the various threads around here to see how to set up your phone in a fashion that maximizes your chance of un-bricking. You'll also find some talk of porting android OS to HD2.

[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Hello, I have still yet to take the battery cover off my HD2 since it's brand new, and I need to know the least effortless way to take it off without damaging. I have tried with the little slot by pulling up on it but haven't tried very hard and it never comes off. I'm afraid of breaking it.... Help?
[HD2 Accessories] Paten:
Do a Google search on

"remove battery cover hd2"
[HD2 Accessories] sirphunkee:
Yeah, you've got the right idea there...it's built to have tension so it takes a bit of effort to get it open. First, that little slot is indeed for your nail to help pop it open...now, when you pull on it, do it as if the opposite side (with the volume buttons) is a hinge, and the door needs to swing open like that. I place one of my thumbs on the "hinge" side, and pull up on the other. Once it snaps up about an inch, I lift my thumb and it comes right off. Putting it back on is the exact opposite...first seat the side with the volume buttons securely (this takes some practice), and then swing it closed and snap down on the notch side.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Ugh, that sounds really difficult. This is actually making me regret my decision of buying the HD2. I love everything about it but this stuipid battery cover. Why couldn't it take up the entire middle-bottom of the phone!

don't worry about it really, your finger isn't going to damage the metal battery cover. it just pops right off.

i hold the phone with my right hand on the top and bottom and push the slot with my left thumb, easy peasy.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
I'm not worried about the battery cover, just the phone. I've had it since Wednesday and have been phoneless for the past 2 weeks...
[HD2 Accessories] jaballard:
Just pull on it its not going to damage your phone, I do it every day.
[HD2 Accessories] speoples20:
Its really not that hard to do, you're making it a bigger deal than it actually is. Its made out of metal so I think you will be ok.

You're regretting buying the HD2 because of the battery cover? For real? Definitely don't get an evo then. That one feels like it could snap at any moment when you try to take it off. At least the HD2's is metal.

This is a joke, right? How are you going to damage a metal battery cover? What are you using to take it off, The Jaws of Life?

[HD2 Accessories] nardone24:
There seriously is a thread about how to remove the battry cover???

I cant belive i just wasted my time in reading it WOW!!!!
[HD2 Accessories] Nibbley15:
Step 1: Take phone and place it face down on a hard object.

Step 2: Take hammer and place it over phone.

Step 3: Drop hammer on back side of phone.

Step 4: Check to see if batter cover is still attached, if not repeat step 3.

Step 5: Cover is now removed.

Step 6: To replace cover send back for warranty purposes and say the battery cover wouldn't remove easy.

P. S. I am not responsible for any damage to your phone due to this process.

[HD2 General] Paten:

[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
One is a proximity sensor (turns off the screen when it's up against your face during a call) and the other is a light sensor (for the backlight's auto-dimming function)

dont think its coming to this country but the rest of the world uses it, at one point last year we were headed in that direction but the minmo7 devices turned it down unless the companies are still waitin to unleash the devices but the network can handel the data
[HD2 General] d0ug:
If you want to get real technical about it, one of the holes is a light sensor that is sensitive to daylight for backlight brightness control and IR for proximity sensing, the other hole is an IR led that turns on during a phone call. When you hold the phone next to your face the IR led bounces off your skin and back into the 1st hole telling the HD2 that you have it near your face.

Try this, initiate a cell call on the HD2, then hold a video camera over those 2 holes. you'll see the IR LED lit up. It only lights during a cell call. Even better if you have a sony camcorder with nightshot mode activated, though just about every CCD/CMOS sensor is sensitive enough to IR even with the internal IR filter in place that you should be able to see it

Im going to take a guess that the IR led isn't just constantly lit, but likely pulse width modulated to some frequency the HD2 recognizes that way the light sensor can tell the difference between the IR bounce back and ambient light. I couldn't tell with my camera that it was PWM, but it could quite likely be at a frequency greater than 30hz, which you wouldn't be able to see on a standard video camera at 30fps. you'd need a high speed camera, or another IR sensitive photo diode attached to an oscilloscope.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Awesome, thank you for the white paper ;) I love that kind of stuff!
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
If it is quite dark, you can see the LED blink about once a second...
[HD2 General] matyoka:
Heyy all,

Actually the guy was asking if that's a FRON camera. Yes it is!!! :D
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I think you're looking at the notification led on the far left of the earpiece speaker grille. I highly doubt you can see the IR LED with your naked eyes. Were talking about the two dots under the glass just to the left of that.

That sensor is not a front camera. its a photodiode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodiode i guess you could call it a 1 pixel camera lol
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
Believe me i can tell if it is an LED otherwise I wouldn't be doing my masters in electronics ;)

and to answer your question, it definitely not the notification LED or the light bleeding from it into the adjacent space. when a call is in progress and it is very dark around, you can just make out the faint blinking.

I don't think the phone gets damaged until it gets quite a bit hotter. However, it does significantly reduce your battery life if you continually use it at that temperature.

my phone always ran hot on his Roms for some reason but

I was driving using gps and talking on the phone for 45mins on the call and using gps for 2 hours and when i got there my phone was 122 F and the set cpu app lowered my cpu

after that i called google and they told me that's not good and they don't know if it should get that hot and there find out and let me know

well after i changed to a different rom i never had that problem ever again

P.S my phone always runs around 100F on the doc when using gps and calling people but i open the window to get some air on it and i have never had any problems since

it was his Rom i know that sounds crazy but it was
