Hi everyone, my names. Steve, been lurking and learning lots from everyone out there. So first off thanks a ton to you all. I have worked in the industry for years, and learning everyday...
Well I figured now that I have a lot of time off coming up thanks to disabilities, figured I would register, join the family and help out where I can, and continue to learn.. now with that aside...lol
I have a pretty big problem, I have a Telus brand htc tp2 (T7379) and its getting costly, I'm at the end of my leash, and it still presists.
Problem 1 is that almost since day one I wanted to unlock the sim for travelling abroad , and have done 3 times already, first time cost $115 from telus ( at that time, my options were limited). Second time cost $78 through telus after sending it back in for repair (should have been free if you ask me). Third time was the same deal, but cost me the same $78..
Just 2 days ago, I tried to unlock it again from one of those online sim unlock sights for $45 but I was ripped off, the provided me with a sim unlock code that wasn't close to correct, and when comfronted they told me there no way it didn't work and that I was just trying to pull something, but here I sit $45 lighter in the pocket, and a phone that's gonna be costing me a lot in the upcoming days in roaming charges if I cant figure out something and quick...
This is only one of the 2 problems I have, but I am pretty sure that a hard spl and unlock will fix that, after reading up on my options. I'm gonna do that tomorrow and hope it fixes 2 underlying firmware issues I have been having, and if it doesn't fix it I will be on here early in the morning possible looking for help..
I am leaving late tuesday night for 2 weeks of medical treatments in Houston Texas. And the last time I was there and roaming it cost me over $4000. And I can not do that again, as money is tight now to begin with
If there is anyone who can assist me in unlocking the sim, I will forever be in your debt, as I already am, please pm me or reply here with a email address and I can send you the IMEI and so on.. I can afford a little bit, not much, but can only pay via email money transfer, no paypal or credit cards available...however I am more then willing to lend a helping hand and my wisdon to anyone who I can help as a form of payment if need be.. Please someone help, I cant afford to get burned again with this, as it is I'm already out $45 and still in this predicament. Please someone help me!
Thank you very much
Steve Cantin
Sorry cant post my email yet
Ok I fixed one issue, it doesn't seem as slow anymore, but now it wont charge from the charger only the pc.. this all started after a power outage while I was tethered, since then will not charge from wall... just fonna have to take a laptop with me....
I'm still in need of help though for unlocking my phone, I just got off the phone with Telus and been given the run arround for the last 3 hours. Them saying they don't have the ability to do so, cause they don't have them, but just over a year ago, I got it done by them...
Someone please help me, I cant afford medical bills and expences as well as roaming charges
Please message me if u can help... please someone help me!
Thanks EVERYONE!
Steve
hi guys
i am planning to buy a new phone soon, probably a China one. i have already checked many china shops but most of them do not look like a safe place for spending a couple hundred euros, and paying with paypal is in many of them impossible.
so would you be so kind and share your expirence with chinapadmall, because i was unable to find any useful information on the internet. at a glance they look different from most of china shops and paying with paypal is also possible.
just another question: probably i am going to buy either a iocean/OU Sheng X7 or a UMI X2. which one do you think is better in term of build quality?
thank you for help
I personally would keep away from Chinese phones, generally because they tend to not have any support afterwards. I looked through this site and however designed/presented nicely, the reviews are mostly of customers asking questions about the product. They seem to respond back though so that may be a good sign (even though they're using the reviews section as a forum, which is deceiving). Sorry for not exactly answering your question, but that's just my 2cents.
Do you mean "China" or "china"?
Either way, I wouldn't want to touch any China-made products left alone spending "a couple hundred euros" for it.
first of all thanks for your reply.
i meant China of course.
you are probably right about support ,sadly not so many own those phones. actually i am buying that kind of phone, because in last half year i lost two phones (they were both stolen by somebody). now i do not want to spend much money on a new phone.
including taxes and DHL shippinig i can get a full hd phone for approximately 220€ (about 290$), and that is why i am interested in buying China phone.
i will have to think a bit and search the internet, whether it is worth buying cheap phone and hooping for best, or spend at least twice as much money for Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, or other flagship devices.
I've bought my goophone n2 here in chinapadmalL and pay with paypal.It's safe.
And I'm also interested in iocean X7 and a UMI X2,but the pre-order does not begin,do you know the exact date? cause I don 't want to wait a long time .
I use dx.com for my China gadget shopping. They are trustworthy and have a decent support staff as well as forums. They accept paypal. The only downside is sometimes the shipping can be slow but anything shipping from Hong Kong is generally slow. They have name brand Android phones as well.
i am also interested in buying umi x2, iocean x7, or t he jiayu g4 advenced, but the problem is also the availability, and the release dates are not actually unknown.
and about the dx.com i must agree they are trustworthy, buty normally it takes long to receive your staff, but the problem is they do not have so many phones like other sites.
I would not buy AT CHINAPADMALL
Well I tell you my experience with this damn devil store "chinapadmall.com" because bine on April 9, 2013, announced in stock the following: "Good Quality Butterfly x920e OEM Smart Phone 5.0 Inch IPS 1920 * Quad 1080 2GB RAM Android 4.1-core 1.5GHz 16GB ". I buy paypal payment 250'87 total EUR total no joke. I get the phone about ten or twelve days later does not do what is advertised is 1920 * 1080 1270 * 920 is less, plus wifi does not work and tells me what I have to do is install the rom again, as I to have to do that to a newly purchased mobile trying it yourself. Well I tell you what I say I want to return smoothly to send it to an address and how do I have to send also want a 32 gb sd Tarje tells me to pay it and send it to me. I tell you all that I leave as requested on the page and tell me you do not need it with the email is enough. I send the phone on May 10, 2013, will arrive on May 24 and did not pick right now is in the post office waiting sheizen by will. I tell the seller and he says he does not know that you sent me x2 umi on Friday May 31 but do not know the tracking number and does not know because he has not Picked to send you the package. We also speak for the char of the page and I closed this sounds fishy.
SUMMARY, DONÍ BUY INTO THAT AS A PROBLEM WITH ANY Tourist trap breaded MOBILE I ALREADY TOOK TWO MONTHS MOBILE AND LEAST 280 EUROS.
P. D. if anyone knows something I can help I'd appreciate it because paypal said to have passed the 45 days to open a dispute. Of course I have happened if I had been the purchaser bullfighting, and the effectiveness of posts that you see, well here you have this tako, well I'm sorry but I inform relief and these thieves, swindlers. Thank you.: Mad :: mad:
This is the ultimate, the CHINAPADMALL.COM geta looks to have seen that I have told you what happened in all the forums that I could and yesterday (June 5) according to their page to put a discount promotion 5-8 $ a people who speak well of chinapadmall and send the address of the forum comment to your mail to see him, this must be seen to be believed, is very strong, does that and does not answer to the 10 MESSAGES I sent in the last 3 days. see to believe. how can a person for a lost mobile lose many customers as if they read this.

I bought an Umi x2 from them 5 days ago. My order is still 'in progress' and not been posted despite me paying $20 for express delivery. I'mnot happy with their service.
UMI X2 32G rom 2G ram the umi company will stop produce for 3-4 weeks.so if you bought this phone don't dream they will ship.

I think i can tell you something, I think there must something made you misunderstanding, i made two orders in chinapadmall.com, they response very fast and reply my every email and live chat, maybe the email sent to your junk box? it seem the live chat time from China time 9:00~18:00, you can try to see and try again. and even over 45 days, they accept return and refund, don't worry. one of my friend experienced it. it is better you tell him your order number first, so they can confirm soon. when refund the money, you must will get a coupon as a compensation( my friend got the coupon, hope the same as you).
and by the way, if they didn't answer you, how did you sent back the phone? where you got the return address?
hope your problem will be fix soon....

address gave me Jerry or so chatting calls himself. So far I have sent the phone or returned the money. On Friday Jerry said the chat today I would give the tracking number, but I ask you and I closed the conversation. No I think I have been scammed, and the address to which returned the phone was not the same that came in the package where they sent me the phone. ie they send from an address and returns go to another company and another direction, even in another city. All this is very rare and worst is that after almost 3 months I am still without my money and no mobile. SO I would not buy ANYTHING IN CHINAPADMALL. COM
I think I know where is the problem

I think I know where is the problem, the problem is not CHINAPADMALL.COM didn't answer your questions, it seem you returned the phone to the wrong address ( wrote in the package?).
if you purchased the phone via paypal in the store, it is better you follow the refund and return rules of paypal. you should dispute in paypal and ask for return and refund, paypal will show you the address that you should send to. remember never do not send to the address wrote in package. if over 45days, it is better you contact their after service for address before you sending. as I know, many package sent from China the address wrote on package are address of POST AGENT COMPANY, not the real seller, because the agent handle all for seller, seller only need prepare the package for picking up.
i suggest you keep contact CHINAPADMALL.COM , tell him the tracking info, ask him for help for find the package. if sent to the POST AGENT, they also can have it back, but will take many times, it is possible to get your money back, CHINAPADMALL.COM wont let you lost money, as I know my friend got money back and got a coupon for compensation and he made a new order with the coupon( 8USD discount for any item).
hope can help you, and be patient you will get money back soon....

:good: that's great, I told you before, they will refund your money anytime, even over 45 days after payment. chinapadmall.com are looking for long term business, not one time. reliable!!
I have no problem with china mobile. Nice power for third price of regular brands with good workshop quality. Only problem is support...
.My phone I received from om them was faulty and they have asked me to return it to them. I have done by DHL but it seems to be being held in customs in Shenzhen. Is it legal to return a phone from UK to Shenzhen? Why would customs hold it?
Perhaps it just takes some time for clearance?
So , as the topic says , ordered the nexus 5 through someone in ltaly only to find out that the phone is missing at delivery . The box only had the receipt inside . The person that helped me out called google and UPS and was told that they are going to get hold of him by tomorrow .
My question is : Could i get a replacement phone without paying another 400 euros ? What could he possibly do ? Just sit and wait ? Could Google refund us or maybe let us make a free purchase of the same device ?
EDITED : ADDED THE LAST RELEVANT POST
I'm sorry for bumping this topic .
Latest news is : UPS requested a replacement from the deposit in Amsterdam .
Story told by short . Someone (my dad) bought a Nexus 5 from Play Store , in order to test it and send it to me in another country if it is functional . He got and empty shipping box . Filed a complaint at Google and UPS . Google only answered with something like "we are going to look in to that" , UPS has done the same . Google has not responded again to the situation , UPS came and got the empty package , got a new status in shipping details saying that the phone is missing and they are contacting the sender(The Google deposit in Amsterdam , Holland).
Questions :
1. Has anyone else been through this ?
2. What is happening and what do they mean by calling the sender for more details ? (I am realy loosing my patience right now since i ordered mine 31 OCT , at about 27minutes in , and had to have the phone by 5th of november)
3.How long is it going to take to get a damned replacement ?
P.S.-Sorry for my rusty english .

So did the phone come to you or just the "random guy" you ordered it from. Guy might be trying to scam you.
You ask us as if we deal with this stuff everyday. To be honest I do not believe anybody that claims phone was broke upon arrival or even you that says had receipt but no box.

If your dad ordered it for you, he should probably be the point of contact for the shipper or Google to get a replacement. Can't hurt to ask.

Yes ! That is what I wanted to ask but might not have made my self undersood , i'm still very angry on the situation .
I wanted to know if he could get a replacement or a refund (preferably a replacement) without paying another 400 euros (I told him to buy it for me from there cause it's 100 euros cheaper then where i live and he should have sent it to me after he received it) and if the procedure is going to take a lot of time or is complicated.

There's a lot of factors in that. Your best bet is to start making some phone calls. Call the courier that was supposed to deliver, call Google, see what they can do. Good luck, mate.

You fail to mention the most important thing, was box opened/damaged? Any signs or that? Also did he take the package as soon as it was dropped off or he found it a couple of hours later.

He only mentioned that the box only had the receipt inside , don;t really know about damage or if it seemed opened before that . He took the package from the delivery guy but by the time he noticed the box was too easy the delivery guy was driving his car ~100m away .
P.S - I am only asuming he took it from the guys hands ... i was not given this information . I'll keep you updated and tell you more tomorrow wen i find out more.
So your dad ordered it from Google Play and had the delivery address set to YOU right? and when it arrived, phone was missing and only receipt? If so, then yeah, have your dad contact ups/google.
If your dad ordered it and it was delivered to him, then he separately shipped it to you and it's missing. That's on your dad/ups. Google is out of the picture by then.
This also happened to me. I was expecting it Nov 5 (my birthday, too!). Never came. Last thing was it was out for delivery, then a notice that says customer will pick it up *will call". I never got the call. I called for an update but they said they can't find it.
I got the same email from Google - gonna have to burn that IMEI number and order another one. 3-4 weeks it says for me. Why do I even bother ordering things on the first day. I always get disappointed one way or another.
Does this mean the phone won't work with any carrier? Or just the US? Does this mean they can't activate it, or just work work even with an already activated SIM card?

My N5 is also Lost and I didn't want to wait for Google to figure it out, so I placed another order Tuesday for White 32Gb and it said 2-3 weeks. This morning I got shipment confirmation and tracking number. Will ariive to my work tomorrow.
Google will Ban the IMEI definitely for USA. Not sure if they can ban for worldwide GSM. They probably can brick the device too, like how Apple didbeith the iPhone 4 lost at a bar.

So your dad ordered it from Google Play and had the delivery address set to YOU right? and when it arrived, phone was missing and only receipt? If so, then yeah, have your dad contact ups/google.
If your dad ordered it and it was delivered to him, then he separately shipped it to you and it's missing. That's on your dad/ups. Google is out of the picture by then.

He ordered it to his adress , he got the empty box . If he would have got the device he should have tested it and send it to me after . The phone got lost in between sending it from google to de delivery adress specified to google.

Well that's a bummer. Have you called UPS again? Maybe it was still on the truck or just temporarily lost in the shuffle. UPS is generally very good about keeping track of packages.

Looks like it's gone for good. They say they have too many trucks to search for. That's a good runaround because they could probably narrow down to just the one or two that service my area.

yeah because it accidently fell out of the box, while the receipt stayed in there? remember that the *package* arrived, it's the contents thats missing... face it, some dip**** took it. complain with google, shipping should be insured, hopefully will get a new one.

Well that sucks. At least google will have no qualms about sending you a new one, you're just gonna have to wait a little longer. When you finally get it you'll be happy.

I wasn't responding to the OP. The poster I responded to just never got the package. UPS lost it.
OK so after posting a few #summershots on weekend. I didn't hear anything. Was in the process of emailing someone about buying his Chinese version. Then literally 10mins ago none other then my god damn oneplus one invite comes flying along via email. After jumping for joy for waiting a lonnng time. I realise s*** I haven't got paid yet. Now I'm in the UK. I get paid 28th invite expires I'm guessing 27th at 2200. How do you pay through checkout. Is it bank account details PayPal what. Only thing is I don't wanna pay for it and go overdrawn you get me. Lol. I'm feeling excitement and disappointment ATM. Help through this process from anyone would be welcome thanks.

You have 24 hours to take your invite and then 24 more hours to buy the phone so you cabn wait a bit, make your counts.
If you can't wait, just get some money laid by a friend and give them back later :good::laugh:

OK that's an idea so in theory I have 48 hours then. So I have 24 hrs to claim and then 24 hours after claiming to pay.
You pay through paypal. If you connected your bank account to paypal you can use that or add your credit card to paypal(which is probably the easiest).

You based in UK? If so how long did it take you to get it? Did you unlock boot loader and root straight away? Haven't read any of the guides yet but I'm presuming its easy enough?

Are you trying to sim unlock the phone? Always do a little bit of research before buying something, unless of course it's a reputable site then no need to worry

Also I have my 2 cents to share. First of all the site is wrongly formatted for the left half of the screen and doesnt auto size to fit your screen CENTERED. Thats Strike 1 for False-ness.
Strike 2 is that WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TRACK YOUR ORDER WHEN YOUR JUST BUYING AN UNLOCK CODE?
Strike 2.5 if they mail the unlock code on a piece of paper to your address, that is even more suspicious. There is no need to mail it to you by postal service and its much faster and cheaper through email.
Strike 3 is that I don't see this site in any trusted reviews. If there are very little then they must be absolutely faked.
Strike 4 is that their motto is North American Unlock Specialists. Is that even a valid position to be a specialist in? 99.99999 / 133337% fake. It doesnt make any sense at all.
Strike 5 is their copyright display : " © UnlockCodeWarehouse 2009 " what?!? if their site was last updated 2009 then why do they support a 2013 phone? Makes even less sense. If you check their logo at the top it clearly says ALWAYS FIRST WITH NEW MODELS. NEW WITH 2009 COPYRIGHT?
Strike 6 ( The Final Strike ) is their disclaimer
" Disclaimer: UnlockCodeWarehouse makes no express or implied warranties of any kind relating to the provision of information or service on or by this site. UnlockCodeWarehouse will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use or misuse of this site or any of the information or products sold which are contained within it. "

Basically their disclaimer says that when you press "Purchase", your agreeing that they are not responsible for anything they do to you after. If they dont give you any code to unlock they are not responsible. Meaning you sorta agreed to get scammed. Ouch
Im really sorry for your loss. I also did get scammed as well some year or 2 ago in a game
EDIT: I found my last strike. If you go to their terms and conditions in the full page I noticed this one detail:
If you have any questions/comments about privacy, please do not hesitate to contact us using the address below

However if you check the few lines under it there is no contact method, and if you scroll to the bottom of the page, NO CONTACT METHOD AT ALL. That detail alone ends this entire case as a 100% S.C.A.M.
