Why not paypal?

Ah, sorry to hear that. Why not pay it with paypal?

As far as I know, you can use the credit card (VISA or MasterCard) and paypal.

I do not know more
[G Tablet Accessories] blipsqueak:
Just ordered one. Paid via PayPal. Thanks for the tipoff!
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
No body like this pirce???
[G Tablet Accessories] theclassicalgod:
That's true... I could use PayPal and have PayPal process from my card instead.. I stopped using PayPal because it wouldbtake forever to transfer money from my bank, but I forgot they gave that option now, which seems to work well. I'm going to order this weekend now.. lol thanks.

Edit: any comments on viewing angle and how steady the gtab is in this dock? I was thinking I might be able to throw some Velcro on the bottom of this thing and the dash of my car and use it as a car mount as well if it wasn't too obstructive to view. I always use it for music. Anything is safer than trying to quickly reach for my passenger seat at red lights. Lol
[G Tablet Accessories] avfreak4ever:
Based on my recent experience shopping with aliexpress.com, AKA AliBaba, i would recommend anyone to be very/very careful placing an order with them.

I placed my order on 12/11/10, paid by paypal and i am still waiting for item to arrive; the company has so far sent me three emails automatically extending the delivery date and i just asked for a refund; they extended the delivery date again.

What is strange is that the company uses what looks like the standard official paypal login screen; The money was taken out of my bank account with a paypal referral # and yet my account with paypal does not show such charge, so i am pretty sure i've been scammed of my money.

I just contacted paypal about this transaction and they must be investigating this merchant.

CAVEAT EMPTOR = BUYER BE AWARE !

There are many fraud companies. But I think all this will end soon. Because it2steve will give us surprises. You will get the desired product from him . And fast.
[G Tablet Accessories] b3ltazar:
as long as you use aliexpress your money is pretty much safe!its when you deal with the manufacturer directly on alibaba.com u have to worry!! on ali express you dont release payment til you receive the item and verify it with aliexpress! and there is a feedback system like ebay on aliexpress im not saying its impossible to get scammed but alot harder!!! check it out remember alibaba you deal with the companies directly ali express your order goes through them and is like paypal in a way! your money doesnt get released til you verify you recived your order and its not damaged and works correctly!! if not you can open a dispute and get a refund or a discount!!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I too believe this to be true. In my (very few) dealings with with aliexpress its was very structured as far as if/when/how I received my product. The vendors there rely heavily on a feedback system much as ebay does.

I think the part that we all hate it the thought of waiting 21 days for our toys. I'm the same way which is why I paid 2 1/2 times what most are paying for my first dock. I wanted it and wanted it now.

The idea is to open a good line of communication with someone where the product is that is trustworthy, delivers, and sticks to it. I am personally working on getting some stock here (as well as APX_)for us but prefer not to speak about it until it's in my hand. That's just easier all the way around.
[G Tablet Accessories] avfreak4ever:
Ok guys, i'll ammend my post.

I was just contacted by Paypal who informed me that the transaction is listed with them as well as a referral number which, tried as i did, i could not find originally in my Paypal account, so i'll give the merchant the benefit of the doubt.

I understand the item is being shipped from China for a minimum shipping fee, but must this merchant start sending customers emails within one week of purchase with links to contest it ? So far i've received at least five such emails, which is unnerving...
[G Tablet Accessories] tuxnerd:
Ordered mine, its easily the best deal I could find out there for the dock. Thanks for the heads-up on the price drop.

In my opinion, the aliexpress pay system seems to besecure so far, giving the seller a set time to ship the product of 3 days. Of course it sucks having to wait around 15 days for the item to arrive here from China.

UPDATE: 10 JAN 2011 10:27 PM PST - Just received the tracking number and the claim that the item has shipped. Doesn't look like a scam, but I'll feel better once the dock's in my hands.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:

[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
No body want to get it directly from your place quickly but like to waiting a long time from far away? I don't think so...
[G Tablet Accessories] tuxnerd:
So I ordered mine on the 10th, and received 2 tracking numbers, but none of them work. Has anyone else ordered from this and did they receive the products they ordered?

Its just been 2 weeks and I am getting nervous, I can at least count on paypal or alibaba to get me my money back if this was a scam I hope.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
This wasnt a dock ordered from me was it???

...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant
[G Tablet Accessories] lordgodgeneral:
I'm in the same boat but for a case. Ordered 2 weeks ago from aliexpress, got a tracking number and still waiting for it to show up in any of the systems. Seller is claiming bad weather and Chinese new year as the cause, but am starting to think it smells fishy, but will give it a bit more time before disputing (still have 2 weeks it claims)
[G Tablet Accessories] blipsqueak:
Same. 2 tracking numbers. One listed with the usps url, the other alone where it should be listed. Too good to be true? Maybe so!

Oh well... Hopefully if we don't get the docks we can get our money back!
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
I too had issues with ordering from aliexpress.com similar to yours. I opened two disputes with Paypal - won the first one and the second dispute is pending. Buyer beware !!!
[G Tablet Accessories] prscott1:
I ordered my first item on nov 27, 2010 and also received two different tracking numbers neither of which showed any activity. After waiting a month, I opened a dispute which was resolved just today in my favor. Waiting on another item purchased from this vendor Dec 6, 2010 - same situation.

I hope yours turn out better. I did use paypal who has helped / is helping me recover my $.

FWIW: I also opened a dispute through aliexpress and it was denied almost immediately (same day).
[G Tablet Accessories] tuxnerd:
reputable dealers?

So did anyone here successfully receive their dock?

Merimobiles

I know I saw it posted her somewhere but I bought 2 docks from merimobiles at the end of December. I just got them today.

As a new poster I cant put the link but you can google it and as I said there is a post here somewhere.

And they are $5 less. $45 each. They do seem to work well with the gtablet. The charging feature , and HDMI are all I tested but they seem to work well. I can account for the graininess on looking at some pics and a home video, but Angry Birds looked awesome. SO I guess the quality is going to be based on what you start with. I had the same experience receiving tracking numbers that didn't work, but in the end I received them as promised.
[G Tablet Accessories] usafle:
Any idea on the recommended AC adapter we can use to power this dock? I got mine but, like stated, it didn't come with a power brick.

Where can I find one to work for this?
[G Tablet Accessories] bajan5026:
You use the AC adapter you got with yout tablet.
[G Tablet Accessories] usafle:
Yes, I figured that. But, if my AC Adapter is in my suitcase traveling with me and the TAB, I don't feel like reaching around behind my desk and unplugging the AC Adapter every time I go away and need to charge it.

Hence the reason on getting another AC Adapter....

Figured it out though, other people on other threads were helpful.

Defective docking station

Has anyone received a defective docking station? Mine will not charge the Tablet. I placed the tablet in the docking station and plugged the station in a wall outlet with the AC/DC convertor I got with the Tablet. The light on the tablet never came on and the tablet was never charged.

Also, there was something fairly heavy that was moving around inside the dock as you rotated or shifted it. I don't know if something was broken inside or it was just a weight used to make the dock more stable. It just didn't seem normal. When I contacted Merimobiles they seemed upset and said that no one had returned this unit and that it was a very well-made item.

Well, I'm returning it.
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
It's normal.I mean the iron.

There is an iron inside to Prevent movement.

Usually it is fixed. However, because of transportation problems that may be loose.

You can open, use the glue fixed it.

About the charger. I think you can open and check it.

The following is the pictures,normal one.

I am having the same issue with AliExpress. Two tracking numbers, both aren't working. USPS said that it could the package has not reached stateside as of yet but I ordered the dock back on 10Jan and still....nothing. I saw the message about bad weather/holiday but think that giving them over 20 days to get it stateside isn't unreasonable.

Very close to canceling the order and calling it done.

Just so everyone knows this apk boot loops for every rom except for skyraider.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sunder74:
It depends on the rom some are res/drawable-hdpi and some are drawable-hdpi-v4 that's why people are having issues with metamorph. Just check your framework-res.apk or com.htc.resources.apk via winrar or 7zip or whatever. I haven't had any issues because I check the drawable file first and rename my morph file accordingly. Hope that helps some of you.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] polarbearii:
Hi,

Has anyone tried replacing a GT540 Camera with KF750's camera?

I disassembled GT540 yesterday to each part and figured that the number of pins for the camera is exactly the same as KF750's (5MP with high quality.... compared to GT540) even though I haven't checked the pin arrangements I am assuming they are the same. (I am assuming because camera from KP500 [cooky] has different pin numbers )

the size of the camera is little bigger than GT540's camera so it wouldn't fit in the board but I can probably mod the camera holder on the board and resize it as there are free spaces!!

has anyone tried this before?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] polarbearii:
Ok, Found that the pin arrangements are similar.

except.

Pin[5],[6],[15],[16] are used as data as well in addition to what GT540's 3MP camera is using.

and voltage in [34] = 2.8v [32] = 1.8v and where GT540's [34] is 2.7v, [32] = 1.2v

therefore, my confidence is reducing now.. if I am confident that replacing the camera would not break the board in GT540, I will try to replace it even it breaks the camera on KF750.

will do more research..
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] phillmydiamond:
what about the software to use the 2 extra mp's?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] flyboyovyick:
Wheres the drivers?

Is the LG Secret an Android phone?

I think at the end of this you are going to have a trashed phone.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] phillmydiamond:
dont get me wrong, the research to get the pin outs and the voltages is good.

but like flyboyovick says, unless you got software for the right platform its not gonna work, and this is assuming the camera is an integrated device. are you sure none of the processing would be done by the main mobo of the phone, cos this would be device specific so changing camera hardware isnt gonna work cos f device id's (unless you wanna try and change the id in the firmware) :(

altough

if you know an experienced techhead with fine sodlering skills, some bloody good software skills to compile a driver for the camera hardware and a way to get it on the device. then you might be in with a chance :)

or

just get a 5mp android phone and save yourself a few weeks of time, head aches, solder burns and 2 dead phones.

good luck dude :)
