Bear this in mind when considering Apex Laptops for parts or repairs! And also that they recommend their own company ( see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=342361#342361 ) without full disclosure of their position within said company. Me, I'm bricking it now, honest....
And if they decide to delete their posts, don't worry, I've got them cached if they want to use them in court against me.... :twisted:
Richard
What a strange company! They have to go around pretending to be their own customers to provide recommendations for themselves/. Not only here, but other forums as well!

I had my Mio 168 repaired coz it had the same dodgey charging connector. I used a company in kent called apex laptops. Not a bad service at all. just glad my GPS is now working again. I'm useless at directions. Mitac quoted me a ridculous amount to repair it. Apex were a bit better. their website if you like it is www.apexlaptops.co.uk. hope this helps.

I had my ipaq repaired
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had my 5550 repaired by apex laptops. Very good service. their site is www.apexlaptops.co.uk.
Dont know if they can help you.
Good luck!
And as for them dis-agreeing with my ' board swop' comment well, there are many posts about boards being swopped in iPaqs.
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19254
Now as new boards need the permission of HP to be distributed, can Apex Laptops tell me their HP reseller number? Oh, hang on, I can look it up. Wait a minute, there not on there! What gives? :wink: Are they using another distributer? Maybe then can tell us their details? Or maybe then can admit that they use 2nd hand parts....
their 'board swop' method looks like their 'fix all' cure for even simple firmware issues that can be sorted with mtty or jtag....a corrupt rom usually just needs flashing properly using non-consumer methods.....
Now, people on this board start having a go at me ( see the 'crook' thread ) - I don't go around threatening to sue, I STAND UP FOR MYSELF. I don't delete posts like Munkeemajjc has done.....and their failure to reply in posts pointing out their self-recommendation and high prices should speak volumes. They have started to post links to the 'crook' thread on various message boards - thanks! Then people will see my low, low prices in comparison to their overpriced used parts :wink: so thanks for the advertising Apex Laptops!
Richard
haha, what a bunch of clowns.
Richard,
Your comments posted here are strong and as such are slanderous to our company. We do not know you and you do not know us.
We feel these comments are unfair. We do not use second hand parts but if we every did use second user parts we always tell the client beforehand.
We will be taking this matter up with solicitors as false alligations have been made.
Regards,
Apex Laptops.

oh yeah? everything I have posted can be backed up.....so you're now admitting you ARE apex laptops after posting fraudulent glowing reviews about yourself as a customer of apex laptops then?...Great!
Richard
EDIT from your own post, none of my 'allegations' ( or comments as I like to call them) would seem to be false....
Take the sentence "if we (every did) use second user parts we always tell the client beforehand."
Now if you had typed "we would always tell the client beforehand" it is a future statement that you haven't previously but would in future if needed...
However, the statement as written is past tense implying you have used 2nd hand parts. Hoist on your own petard methinks....
And as for false statments, what about your own claiming to have bought from yourself and gotten good service? Muppet! At least have the decency to use a second ID for posts recommending your own service! Or do you think the readers of XDA-dev are that stupid they won't spot it a mile away?
p.s still waiting to hear from you or your solicitor.... Might give you a call in a bit to speed it up as I'm bored and need entertaining....
sigh...gotta love internet fights...lol :roll:
Yeh. Anyone knows that the best way to get MORE people to read comments about something is to negatively respond to it. If munkeemajic wrote "I disagree with everything and apex laptops give cheap quality part" then no more comment, I would never have noticed this thread!

What gets to me is again someone has said that it is slander. I believe if it was incorrect it would not be slander it would be libel.
slander = spoken
libel = written
If you're going to bicker please be accurate ;-)
To be fair Kevino, that's probably why he's talking to a solicitor! And in this jurisdiction, wouldn't it be defamation? I was acting for Don King in this case regarding "Internet libel/defamation":
http://lawzone.thelawyer.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=112699&d=205&h=207&f=259
I suggest we all have a read of this useful guide anyhoo:

Guys, I'm not going to intervene on this free exchange of comments, but if the board finds itself in a difficult position as a result, then you know we know where you live, so to speak....

Hi again Richard,
We have had advice from our solicitor regarding this matter.
His words are:
The remarks are defamatory to your business.
We suggest you advise the owner of the website and insist the comments are removed, and if you think that he will repeat them elsewhere then we shall proceed with legal action to prevent further defamation and to seek damages for the defamatory remarks which have already been made.
You could also seek a public apology.
Hope this helps.
So as you can see things may escalate as a result of your postings. I personally do not wish to continue with this as it is very time consuming for us. This matter can be laid to rest if you remove all remarks said about our company and maybe post a public apology.
I will leave this matter in your hands. You will not hear from me again if your actions are not well intended towards Apex Laptops.
Regards.

Yeah whatever. I bet you typed that all yourself :wink:
Why not give me your solicitors name and I'll ring them directly? If they even exist, which I doubt. I'll I've said is:
you are OVERPRICED - which it true as I have demonstrated
you use 2ND HAND PARTS which you have admitted above and has been confirmed by previous customers...
and you REPLACE MOTHERBOARDS when a JTAG flash is all that is needed to re-flash firmware....
None of that is defamation. So bring it on
On the other hand, you have pretended to be one of your own customers on this and many other websites and fraudulently given yourselves a glowing recommendation which is undeserved. What did your solicitor say about that exactly might I ask? Did they recommend you apologise for misleading everyone?.....
Richard
Blowing your own trumpet..
So I wonder if munkeemajic mentioned to his solicitor that he had been posting false recommendations for his own company in order to try and get business?
I personally have not seen any defamatory remarks - just comments about qoutes from munkeemajic's own postings.
I think he needs to contact his solicitor again and give him the whole story as the chap may change his ming when faced with an informed opinion and correct facts... LOL
Plus, I wonder if he has contacted the "owner" of the website and not Richard.
I'm getting bored now... but I can definately say that I would personally not use apexcomputers after reading THEIR OWN postings for recommendations for their own company.. whether FAKE or not.. I'm just glad Richard has brought these apparently "SELF RECOMMENDATIONS" to uur knowledge.
Jees... I'm not gonna get sued now am I ???????????

Well I must admit this is pretty low, chances are the person selling it is on this board too.
Selling your own hard work is fine, selling others non profitable hard work is pathetic, I hope the person responsible is feeling very guilty about now!
That stinks, someone should find out who this guy is?
£1.99 very appealing until you see he is charging £8.01 for postage on an electronic download.
Maybe he'll donate the money to xda developers - I don't think.
He did donate though, not much.
wm06 on ebay
Hi guys
As there is apx 244,000 members on here perhaps we should ALL ask him a question about where its from - wonder what ebay's response would be?
It might stop him from profiting from others hard work - unless of course it is genuine

Reply from the seller
This is the reply I got from the seller NOT from me personally as from following post it looks if it was me IT IS NOT just to make it as clear as day (and if the mods wish to ban the seller) they can PM me and I will send his name.
I've put an ADD on email with a step by step guide to flash the devices.I've seen a lot of "mod" people bricking their devices due to a bad explanation of the flashing process,complicated links,corrupted files and so on.IE: I myself colected information from a developer site and tried to flash an Imate Jam and after the process was done...it was bricked!!!End of story I ended up with a worthless device and no support whatsoever!!!
So I had this idea of making a friendly step by step guide and offering a support to the buyers in case the flash process goes wrong. And don't tell me it is a risk free process...For instace from the 15 roms I've sold out I had to give support for 3 buyers that even with the step by step guide they manage to not completely follow the steps and needed extra support (such as special roms that are able to recover half bricked devices).
So what I actually offer is a lower risk to the buyers.Up to 85% of my buyers know that these tool I'm selling might be "free" elsewhere. But this "free" means no support as well.So this is a great value for money choice as all the tec stuff and tools needed are gathered together with download links,explanation,step by step guide and support by email or msn or even by phone in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
So this is what I offer. Part of the money gathered are sent to the development site so we can keep improving HTC devices.
Best Regards
(I do have his name but not that evil to post it)
sure, that's why you want 8 Bucks for the Download right?
You suck guy, no one here will believe your stupid "oh i did nothing wrong" bull....
You tried to earn Money with other peoples work and with non-licensed software. You can't deny that and that's exactly why you should be banned out of every single ppc-board (this, pdamobiz, etc) forever.
Everyone gets support here within a few hours, i don't think some like you is only even almost able to replace all the knowledge of the pplz in this and other ppc-boards.
So got and tell your fairytales some who is stupid enough to believe you.
Reply to the seller
Whether you offered support or not is not applicable, the simple fact is you tried to profiteer from other peoples work without their permission.
You broke the ethics of this board in doing so, caused a certain amount of distress - these actions you took without consideration to the developers, or board members.
If you believe you perceived intentions were honourable and justified then that is your opinion. I believe as do others that posted on this topic you were wrong to do so, as apparently do Ebay.
Hi all,
i was googling for tweakui and came a result from handango.com => http://www.handango.com/SoftwareCat...Id=2&N=96806+4294910762&showBreadCrumbs=false
Check this guy is selling the tools he got free here at xda-devs.
the people who made the soft should do something about it...
I've just written to Handango. Please write to them to and get this thief off their books.
I have noticed that your vendor T.N Vietaus Trade (Australia) is selling a number of illegal (ie pirated or stolen IP) products, including Microsoft ROMs for Windows Mobile phones.
Also, he is reselling free products written by members of the xda developers forum at a significant mark up, free software for example being sold for $49.99.
Please ask this vendor to remove this software, or remove it for him.
Kind regards,
vijay555 (moderator at xda-developers.com)

What a ****en Lame ass *****. THat is just the lowest you can go to, selling stuff that is offered to us here for free. **** him, ive written to them also to get this ***** from selling stuff on there. Good eye and thanks for making everyone aware of this.
I've sent handago an email as well. Keep the emails going.
what is the email?
Found the HQ phone number, will try to call (cant call anymore sorry) but will need more info on this like what app and other stuff that you can give

Hurst, Texas 76053

He has ebooks in http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/category.aspx?bcatid=1129&av=14-275257
And same app's come up in the Microsoft handango page that is linked to the Microsoft Windows Mobile Product page Site http://microsoft.handango.com/PlatformTopSoftware.jsp?siteId=75&platformId=2&title=T.N+Vietaus+Trade+(Australia)&authorId=1811375
Mod needed
Can a mod post this in other forums so that everyone that has made a app can check if their app is in the selling list
Email of the supposed developer tnvietaus AT gmail dot com
And if im doing something wrong in giving this out, this info is on the web
This is insane.
haha I just left HORRIBLE reviews warning people on all of the links you just provided Mike.. lol.
I also emailed HIM... and Handango.
no, I just let them know that this stuff was available for free ...
The thing that IRKS me is he doesnt explain that there is MORE to just downloading and running the update to these.. so alot of people are probably ruining their devices.
FYI, this is one instance where the DMCA can be used to your benefit (if you are one of the software authors).
Do NOT write to Handango, et al, complaining that someone is selling free software.
Do write to the resellers and state, factually, that this person is selling software that *you* wrote without your permission or authorization. Also state, very factually, that you want the software pulled and any monies charged for the software to either be refunded to the purchasers or forwarded to you.
What would also help out is if all the software authors were to allow one person (perhaps vijay would be a good choice as he is both a mod and a software author) to act on their behalf so there is a single point of contact for XDA.
Tell me the address of Handago (and Microsoft, If I have read and understand well) and I also send an email.
Just a thought: many here (maybe me too?) searchin' and using no purchased software, and therefore one of us (or one of those having this "habit", if you like more saying so) has found not violating any legal or moral law. World goes around...
Gubbài.
He is selling over 90 titles, and they are ALL available here for free just about.. he is selling the dang HTC X-button for 24 dollars! lol.
derma, I think everyone here is realistic about software availability and software use... read around for my personal views on warez etc.
The board however has a strict policy on banning for distributing warez.
But, it takes some particularly spiteful cojones to steal someone else's work and then put your name on it and sell it. And then selling at an absurd markup... come on. There's reasonable cheekiness, but that's just taking the micky.

Just to explain my position about this.
As I wrote on the title of this post, I figure out what it can be the reasoning of this person but meanwhile I absolutely don't accept what he did (or it's better saying "what he didn't do" 'cos what he's selling it's not stuff of his own).
My thought doesn't want to be a provocation, at least not a gratuitous provocation, but a simple-soft thinking about a hard problem: copy-right (and use-wrong).
Obviously this is a real theft, more odious than that "normally" made to the detriment of that author of the software who sell his creation having the conceptual rights to do that. In this case we can see instead a double somersault: he sell something not of his own that originally is (was) free.
Hope being plain.
PS: "cojones"?! Maravilloso! ¡Hasta la revolución, siempre!
Gubbài.
It isn't just the markup, its the flagrant lack of informing people of the consequences of attempting to use those warez without having ample experience with their device. He just says 'For expert. Use at your own risk' he doesn't say .. 'If you don't know what you are doing your phone is dead.. d .. e .. a .. d' .. I feel bad for the people who have purchased these and tried to run them not knowing about unlocking and what not.. it's a shame

Review added saying it's free here.
Recently, someone in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320018 said that we are all (with a few exceptions) running a pirated OS by installing WM6 on our Wizards. I am not sure that I agree or disagree with that. Please keep your comments focused on the technical aspects of why you think we are or are not pirates.
We are all pirates (As I say besides Ingenetics and any others who officially had the rom loaded by M$).
If you purchase Windows 2000 for example, that does not give you the right to run a pirated version of XP just because you have already purchased one OS version.
Our devices came with WM5 and WM5 is all we are allowed to run in a legal sense.
Im a pirate and I love it
Why not use the original thread that addressed this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319706&highlight=wm6+illegal
I did see that thread, but wanted to set it up as a poll so that people could vote without leaving a comment if they didn't want to.
So, I ask,
If Cingular chooses not to release WM6 that M$ gave them for free allowing them to release it for free to customers, where do I get it? Oh, I have to buy a new $400 device... Hmm...
Yes, that's one of the points that bothers me too. If it's freely given away, then how can it be stealing?
Well, it is a gray area. I do not think that I am wrong from the point of view of my consience (since I have no other possibility - there is no "legal" WM 6 for Wizard).
But - according to the copyrights laws, the above mentioned does not matter... It is a piracy.
There is a similar problem with "abandonware" (when old programs/games are not sold/not available, it is still not legal to use them unless the copyright owner explicitly allows it)...
I do not have any problems with this and I think nobody loses here (I am now a big fan of Windows Mobile and I cannot imagine to buy a mobile phone with another system - I am lost for Symbian/Linux...), but it does not change anything from the legal point of view... It is a piracy.
@mdhensley5: I think it was you who was having problems with version number in WHITERAT's build... Well, unlike that (rather artificall) problem, this is something which is certainly not correct... (sorry, I could not help myself).
Mirek
Hey Mirek, thanks for the comments about the piracy question, but like I said at the beginning, let's keep all comments directed toward the technical aspects of whether or not this is piracy.
Well, It's one of those thigns that could be construed to be piracy if you want to stick to the exact letter of the law. But as was stated earlier there is no WM6 official rom for sale for the Wizard. If there were im sure most of us would buy it. I suppose it's if you want to live by the letter of the law or the spirit of the law. If HTC wants to offer a core rom for purchase that is modifyable to the point as all the current roms then i'll buy it. Until then im running what ive got.
Shane
If mobile carriers have it and can give it away free but they don't only to coerce customers to buy a new device they don't need, is that extortion?
Hmm....
If the company that developed it says it’s free, but they just don’t give a means to get it, then you just have to get it yourself.
hahahaha
like you DIDN'T know you were using hacked M$ code..if you didn't know that you shouldn't be using it anyways in my opinion.
Of course it's pirated, i'm sure even the new members remember M$ was all over this site for a few weeks making sure we didn't release their beans without paying (M$ stingy as apple with copyrights)
Whiterat is right, we're all pirates, I will never, never ever ever purchase another piece of software as I live!

Listen up people. This is what we need to do to help the public become aware of this very damaging Act. We can not let Big brother push us around any longer.And there constituents the big corporate companies. If you go to this web site and you click on the names of all the people that are in support of the SOPA act. You will see the huge contributions and a generality of where they came from.
http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/
What I and all the members of this site are in need of is something that we can print on paper that we can distribute to the public. So I ask the members to help us to get this done. Pleas come up with or help find the proper info that we can copy and past into a word document that will allow us to print it out and then hand them out to the public. I know that this is something that maybe I should do my self. But, I am on the road all of the time and I work two jobs. And have a wife and two children that I like to spend time with when I get home. I don't have much time to concentrate on this at this time. And we do not have much time. So I ask that you help us out. You do a lot for us in the community. And we as a whole are extremely grateful. We would not ask for your help if it were not so urgent. So I ask that if this is something that when and if done, you either post a comment here or you PM me the item in question. If this info is a collaboration from members and the info is PMed to me I will include if desired the members names that came up with the finished product. Maybe I am saying to much here as I some times do. Maybe this is a bad idea. But, I am not sure as to what else I can do at this time. Again, I travel all over New England all of the time. I will make as many copies as I can to distribute to the public. Also if there are any paper print shops that are willing to help and make prints to give out to people when and if this info gets posted here. I believe that we all will be extremely grateful for the help given.
As a matter of fact, I will make a place holder for the work of art that should be printed up. To the people in the print shops. I live in MA on the Northern boarder of RI. If you are going to pledge your support in this battle. I ask the members that are willing to distribute these flyers get in contact with what ever shop pledges there support and let them know when and where you will pick up the flyer's. And, as a note. If any one here does get involved in this. I can not stress enough that our conduct must at all times be civil. If we are in a parking lot and putting flayer's on peoples vehicles. Please be mindful of the accessories that you are wearing. So as to not scratch other peoples vehicles. And if the owner has the rite to kick you out of the parking lot do not quarrel. Just go and start else where. Thank you and i hope that I have not made to big a fool of my self. good day/night.
Place Holder:
I really hope this gets nipped...
i don't think many people realize how big of a deal this is..
i am all for helping out in any way possible to prevent SOPA
I've already petitioned my state officials via e-mail thanks to the EFF's website for this. I actually got a personalized email back from one of them.
More background information
Could someone please post some good links for more "true" background information for "foreign" users?
Thx

Does anyone know who started this whole bill? I haven't heard of this until now.

Fantastic. Done the same myself. Hopefully with enough complaining, we can get our representatives to pay attention to their constituents.

It was originally introduced "by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act
I can see that they want to stop piracy, but this is clearly the wrong way to do it.
And they're up to 30 co-sponsors now, by the way.
Keep on them "do nothing" representative's before they screw us again!
Agreed, im actually more concerned about this than studying for finals
I made flyers today and posted them everywhere with my friend.

I do not live in the USA but im with you guys. Good job!!
So I am trying to find a free (hideable) phone activity monitoring app. I need to be able to hide it so it's not visible on the phone unless you really dig, I already know how to do that part. I preferably want it to save messages, app activity, pictures, phone calls, and social media activity.
My wife, soon to be ex wife, has been cheating on me and I need proof of adultery for the inevitable court case thats going to come once I serve her the papers so I can keep her from taking me for half or everything.
I don't mind paying like $5 to $10 a month but the only issue with that is she has access to bank statements and will see the charges and figure out what I am doing, I'm trying to keep that from happening, hence the need for it to be free.
Thank you in advance.
Oh yeah, she has an IPhone 13 Pro
And I am running a Samsung 21 Ultra
I'm beginning to see why you're having problems... no one likes a nosey Parker.
Yeah I know, I'm not the one hacking accounts and bringing people into our bed for me to come home and walk in on. I ain't be a nosey Parker, in reacting accordingly to the situation that I was forced into and now I'm covering my bases

XDA doesn't condone illegal activities. What you're asking to do violates federal and likely state laws in the USA and many other countries as well.
Putting a legal activity tracking app on my own personal property that was purchased by me, is in my name, and is paid for by me is not illegal, and was also adviced for me to do by my lawyer. But you are entitled to your own opinion sir, but I don't need your two cents on my personal situation. I asked a simple question, if you have helpful advice I'm willing to listen, otherwise I respectfully don't need to hear it.

Ask your lawyer to supply one. He seems to have the wherewithal.
There's no way for me or anyone here to determine the validity of your claims. Personally I think it's underhanded, unethical and illegal unless your wife is a minor.
Fair enough, I appreciate the help and banter, I look elsewhere for advice. Hell, Im pretty sure I won't find any worse treatment or un-warrented criticism elsewhere than I received from you good sir. I attempted to remove the thread but it doesn't see I have the ability, so you are more than welcome to step down from that high horse of yours to remove it yourself.
Even with the the uncalled for words and judgement I still hope you never have to experiance what I'm dealing with. But I do hope someday you learn how to talk to people with atleast a shred of common decency or respect.

It has nothing do with a lack of empathy on my part.
Five years in Federal prison is a long time. Mind you the other person you speak of is also a stranger to me as well. I'm neutral... but you're the one I -see- trying to step out of line.

Five years is a long time, regardless of institution or whether it's federal or state, that's still going to take a decent adjustment period. But you aren't being neutral, your throwing judgement, even just by saying I'm the one stepping out of line. You don't know any of the facts, how long it's been happening, what been done, the level of faithfulness and loyalty from each party, income from each party.....the list keeps going. So how can you say I'm the one stepping out of line? All your doing is making a judgment based off your own assumptions. I know the inside teaches men to think a certain way and act a certain way, but it also normally teaches most mutual respect is a 2 way street. That we should always start of with a level of respect towards the other, and if it isn't matched that's when you come with the un-needed rude, judgemental etiquette.
Atleast that's one of the things it taught me. Not to mention many others, another important being that your a grown man and entitled to your opinion and how you feel...I'm also a grown man, who isn't bothered by other people's opinions or how they view me, I also know I don't need to continue this, so I'm just going to end it by saying that if you really did do 5 years and you still talk to and treat people like this, it must have been a pretty cushy institution

Here's my retort for a cheap shot...
Electronic Communications Privacy Act
I was just returning the judgemental rudeness that you were so keen to begin with and continue to use towards me, only one person here to blame for my response.
That was a cute little click bait attempt you played there, smooth.
Except even though i have a S21 Ultra I run PureOS on it.
Debian OS is immune to most modern viruses whether they are android or iOS based because it runs as neither.
Like I said tho, good attempt. If this was ran on the typical software I would have had an issue.
MOD ACTION:
Thread closed at your request: "I attempted to remove the thread but it doesn't see I have the ability ...". Also because of Rule 9:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
