This mirrors my experience 18 months ago with the my HTC Magic order I finally cancelled my order having been told good luck but no-one has any in stock and got one from phones4u delivered the following day. I have stayed away from Expansys since but if you look they always claim to be getting items in much earlier than anyone else
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
I really do hate it when any online company shows something I want as "IN STOCK" when in actual fact they have nothing, www play com also does this.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
lol, my R2-D2 ice buckets have been instock soon for 30 months with play so far:D
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Worse still is being lied to when calling to check stock level on the site. On two occasions I spoke to Expansys (two separate orders) and on two occasions I was told they were in stock. Guess what, on two occasions the order reverted to 'awaiting stock' following payment!

Not impressed with Expansys at all. The part that annoyed me even further is that my query and warning to others in the Expansys forum was removed within minutes and I was barred from posting again!

Not good business!
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
Expansys are scammers, pure and simple. I've had a couple of similar experiences and now wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

I strongly advise everyone to keep well away.
[Desire HD General] Mojo Fones:
They're showing 99 in stock at the moment so you should be getting yours soon. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
[Desire HD General] n4v1n:
I always stick to ebay when buying new phones and the sellers with excellent feedback usually dont let you down.
[Desire HD General] Mojo Fones:
I was going to buy a couple of charging docks from Expansys (my wife has a DHD too) and I was pleased to see a voucher for 50% off. At the basket it would only discount one dock and not two so I had a grumble to myself and decided to buy neither. Nice looking little dock though, but I am put off buying there by the stories here.
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
The exact same thing happened to me when I ordered my htc desire a few months back, they said they had it in stock on the website, then then out of stock, then estimated 2 days, then 5 days then 10 days :mad:.

It was so bad I almost harmed myself! :o

Anyways why are you ordering from expansys, they have the highest price at the moment for the Desire HD, there are other places selling it cheaper.
[Desire HD General] bkronhtc:
Same story here. I was wstching DHD availablity time wiggle like stock prices between 15 and 1 day.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I STRONGLY suspect they are not in stock at all and this is just a ploy to secure 'pre-orders'. Let's face it, their price is that far inflated over the competition what else would make us buy from them, the fact they have it 'in stock' even though they don't!

There is no way they would suddenly have 100 units in stock when I was told today they are having trouble maintaining stock level and that they expect a delivery on Tuesday, therefore mine SHOULD be shipped out Tuesday or Wednesday.

My order still shows 'Estimated 6 days' even though stock shows as 99+ A complete joke!

Good luck to all who place an order with Expansys!

They MIGHT be ok for accessories but then having had first hand experience of their sly ways I can not recommend them. Buy at your own risk :-/

Simply because they had them in stock, or so I was told!

Personally I no longer believe a word these cowboys say and I will definitely be recommending that people to not buy from Expansys after my experience.
[Desire HD General] sychare:
Not surprising to hear, unfortunately. I ordered my Hero through them last year, and the days kept creeping up, with stock levels showing as available. A common trend, it seems.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I really can't see why they are allowed to say they have something in stock when they clearly do not. Moreover, to be told they are in stock when ringing to verify the stock level on the website is just plain dishonest!

Removing my post in the forums and blocking my access is just the icing on the cake!
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Another one with a bad experience of eXpansys.

It took them over 2 weeks to deliver my daughter's HTC Snap even though it was supposedly in stock. Ignored e-mails too. Terrible customer support.

Complete and utter shysters, plus that annoying t**t, Peter Jones has his sticky fingers in the company.

Please, for your own good, avoid eXpansys like the plague!
[Desire HD General] Killiandros:
I would also recommend avoiding Expansys.

In my experiences, their stock numbers are not reliable (i.e. fabricated). Their deceptive business practices lure you into ordering with them then keep you hanging on waiting for your product.

On one particular order when I queried when delivery was to occur I was told to "relax" and that it was "on it's way." If their pricing was cheaper/competitive then you could reasonably put up with this.

Other than a poor customer experience, inflated prices and deceptive/misleading business practices they are fine (i.e. you'll eventually get what you've purchased in good condition).

Would recommend Handtec first, then Clove as better alternatives.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I agree that this quite nicely sums things up with this company.
[Desire HD General] 0l-ROB-l0:
Expansys also shipping Vodafone branded DHD as "sim-free, unbranded"!!!

1) Expansys do get 100 handsets but it seems they only update the 'in stock' numbers once a day when they 'process' orders. If you are customer 1-99 then great, no problem but if come online in the evening and are customer 100+, and they haven't updated the numbers, then you essentially become a pre-order - even though it says in stock. Dodgy.

2) BUT, way more dodgy... I just got my DHD yesterday: sim free, unlocked, unbranded and clean ...or so I thought.... But what do I see as soon as I boot? Vodafone branding. Called them; "oh, but it is just the boot logo, otherwise it is a normal DHD" Not good enough, I buy unbranded cos I want unbranded!

And Vodafone 360 replaces Amazon MP3 in the HTC music player too - so more than just a boot screen. What else is affected? Where do the upgrade ROMs come from? HTC or so I have to wait for a Vodafone ROM??

Worst of all, when I call HTC to migrate my Navigation subscriptions they tell me I should return the DHD as I shouldn't have a UK Vodafone branded handset in Sweden, and that Expansys shouldn't be selling it to me.

3) To give Expansys some credit here (a little), they send TNT in a few hours to collect the Vodafone handset and supposedly have a replacement, real sim-free, unbranded handset to send me tomorrow. Just hope it exists and shows up.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Wow, that IS dodgy! Wonder how that slipped in there!
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
Expansys is known for a dodgy rep , if you are buying sim free from the uk stick with clove or handtec dont even consider expansys.

i boughts something a while ago from them i received an empty box :\, when i asked questions i got no answer i did a charge back thingy with my bank and got the money back, was for a replacement phone charger luckily it didnt cost too much
[Desire HD General] lawrence750:
i'd be cancelling surely you can stop the payment from the credit card or something?

thanks for the warning though I'll keep well away.
[Desire HD General] greenflash7:
Thats really dodgy, considering the HD's that actually come from Vodafone have no branding at all!
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Another point to have in mind:

In the past, I used to shop a lot from Expansys. Then, they made local Expansys site for each country but that was basically the same as all products would be sent from UK. So they made expansys.com.cy for Cyprus. All the products are the same and will be sent from UK but they are up to 30% more expensive and they don't let you buy from the .co.uk shop. The silly part of the story is that they expect people to be that stupid and purchase from them.

The same exact story is done by pixmania. Very Very stupid especially when so other shops who are willing to sell internationally are their competition.
[Desire HD General] PapaDocta:
i would strongly advice to stay away from those people... they are the worst and never reply to emails! it's taking them 4 days just to process my order and still not finished yet and the dates of the item availability keeps jumping up and down.. i'm 100% sure they have monkeys handling their stock updates!
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
I wish I read this earlier. I ordered 3 product 2 weeks ago. One product would be deliverable in one week. Now I have to wait until end December.

The other to products were in stock.

So two days ago I set it to part shipable. The site stated it was authorised, nothing more. (I knew I had to pay extra delivery costs, but didn't know how).

I didn't get an email, or any other message how to transfer the money. So today I called the helpdesk.

I never heard some helpdesk person speak so demotivated and I wanted to kick his ass.

He told me eventually that if you want to partly ship your goods you have to contact the helpdesk. WTF? Why is there a button on the site to do so then and why isn't that explained?

Then I said to him, I want to send the items in stock to me while a I wait for the other one. He said, not possible, they only had little dockingstations left. (they still are left right?). So I asked, what's the problem I ordered 2 weeks ago and it was in stock. Probably they do not reserve the product, only when they got all the products at the same time. So if the third product is available at the end of december, and some other product isn't I still won't get my stuff.

This is rediculous. The only problem is that I am afraid to cancel the order, because I already paid. If paying money back goes as terrible as this, I rather wait for the products. I don't want to lose the money.
[Desire HD General] AndyCr15:
Just cancel. How can they keep your money if you cancel? That's basically theft...
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
However, I'm still VERY curious for one thing: How do they still work in a competitive and demanding market? This is big question for me. They must have definitely lost all international customers because only an idiot would buy a phone for £600 when it is shown in the .co.uk site fot £450. Then, if even the locals complain about them, I can't understand how they still survive.

As per my previous post, the same goes for pixmania.
[Desire HD General] 0l-ROB-l0:
It didn't just slip in there, the person I talked to at Expansys admitted their warehouse consciously sent the Vodafone branded units instead of the EU version ordered, probably because they didn't have it.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Because, when you search for tech items, they invariably come top of the heap and they appear to have stock when you place the order when many other sites haven't, If you manage to talk to someone at their customer services, before your item is dispatched they, in my experience at least, are most helpfull and apologetic that your item hasn't been dispatched yet but it will be any time now :o, it's only through threads like this that we learn about the shoddy underhand way they do business
[Desire HD General] Mr.Greg:
I agree with you, is very bad and very expensive site
[Desire HD General] forelli:
And now the best part: eXpansys belongs to HTC! While waiting for my carrier to get the DHD, I called HTC and I've been advised to order it sim-free from eXpansys, so I asked why would they recommentod another company to buy their phones to. They replied saying it was a parent company. Call them and ask for a website that sells their products and you'll hear by yourself.

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ro4sho:
Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
How do I exactly do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks :)

OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.

Do you have SNS installed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..

EDIT:

NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ain_gt:
hi there :)

i think i have a same problem like u before

but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try :cool:

it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends

sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name

if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture

since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way

notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.

hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..

i would like to know can LG Optimus 7 support java? your answer is appreciated.

thank you
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Do you mean loading an app written in Java? Then No.

If you mean Java in the browser, that would also be a no.

If you mean Java in general...I don't think so.

But I am sure you can port a lot of Java-based code to C#...

Had a fine working phone under WM6.5 but decided to try out Android.

Followed the instructions as found in the stickies and had Andrioid running in no time.

But.... After experiencing the well known 3G (H) vs.GPRS switching issues and data drops, I tried the Network app from MAGELOW.

I fideled around with the settings (GSM only, CDMA auto etc.) but no improvement.

Then suddenly no 3G(or H) anymore only GPRS when selecting "GSM only".

Anyother combination of settings leads to not being able to register on the T-Mobile network.

(not able to make a call)

Well back to WM6.5 and... same problem there.

One difference; 3G(H) works for internet but not for Calling (no registration on network possible). Does mobile internet require different authorisation than calling?

tried different Android builds based on different phones but no improvement.

So after flashing with latest stock firmware and receiving a new SIM from T-Mobile still no change.

So now sending the phone in for repair but still wondering if it was coincidence or Android.

Will post the result from the repair later but be warned when using the MAgelow Network App. (this warning is also on Magelow's site but I saw it to late)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lude219:
Why didnt you just do a hard-reset to see if the problem is fixed rather than sending it off to repair?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reb:
did that and a full upgrade with the latest rom which also didn't help.

Even removed the HSPL and downgraded to the original SPL but nothing changed.

it will be picked up tomorrow, so it's clean now.

For a stupid question, when we launched Android through HTC HD2 and using File Manager like Astro File Manager. Are we still able to access Win Mo system file? Or it will be blocked?

Dun feel like messing up the system, lol ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
you should ony be able to access whats on the memory card
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
No, we are not. Android is stored on your SD and WinMo in NAND. So you can't get access because the phone pretends Android that it's internal memory is in the phone altough it is stored on your SD in the data.img. Hope you will understand this sentence, I'm not very good in English grammar :D

So don't worry about messin' up WinMo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _glokta:
Hello all,

As per my previous thread, I now have a rooted nonsense free Android.

Now I'm trying to connect to it via adb which is proving tricky.

The device is rooted (unrevoked/clockwork mod) and in recovery mode it'll adb just like that. However, when the device is running, I can't pick it up. I get:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
????????????	no permissions

Now I have the old superuser skull and crossbones app thingy on my phone running. I've also tried to connect locally using connectbot and this works, I get sh running just fine. I can also su and get root.

However, even if I stop and restart adbd it changes nothing from the pov of the host... in other words it's not letting me connect.

Specifically, I can see:

sh-3.2# ps
...
root 1978 1 3142 200 ffffffff 0000f474 /sbin/adbd
...
$ whoami
whoami: unknown uid 0

from connectbot on the device

A pointer in the right direction would be wonderful!

Dear ROM Chefs,

Why don't you guys include any error checking mechanism to your downloadable ROMS? I mean something like a MD5/SHA hash file. Once downloaded we can test the integrity of the files.

I believe this the practice of almost all Linux distributions and xda can adopt the same.

Any suggestions, criticism welcome :-)
