[Q] where to get extended battery in canada? - Captivate General

hi there,
through this thread here, i have found this battery for the captivate. but i cannot find something like that in canada.
at least not for a decent price, as demonstrated by the seidio products - about which i'm also skeptical because of what people say in the reviews.
can anybody here help me out? :/

its called ebay.CA for canada
and try searching XDA/Captivate/Accessories for "battery" theres several threads already.
I wrote one~!

really? ebay.ca? you don't think i've tried that?
but i must admit, i did not know that there was an accessories subsection because i knew there was android development and here this "general", so i did not even think there could be a more appropriate section. sorry about that.
but whether i'll actually find something there... i'll see, i suppose.

ebay.ca that where i bought my extended battery! you obviously didnt search well...
here let me do it for you
http://shop.ebay.ca/i.html?_nkw=cap...battery&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
21 results including the sedio expensive ones

yeah... i'd post an ebay link as well, if i could. because what you just arrogantly threw at me was not what i asked for. you obviously didn't read my first posting well.
"but i cannot find something like that in canada."
i'm not big on buying stuff from china that takes forever to ship and where i have to deal with people who might only understand a third of what i'm saying.
that's why i asked about canadian sources from the very beginning. and the possibly better quality.
jeez, what a nice welcoming.

I doubt you'll find any extended batteries in stores locally, just order it from ebay, all the auctions are in english.

Cheapest Price?

What is the cheapest price people have found the touch pro?
theres no cheapest price, theres only cheaper price, which you will need to go hunt down on your own if other found it, im sure you could too
Simply stunning. That is the most useless response and unnecessary response ever.
In the world of buying non-U.S. based phones over the internet there are plenty of trustworthy websites and plenty of non-trustworthy web sites. To ask the question of where the cheapest price that has been found is, in no way, out of order for this forum.
If you have nothing to add to a thread, save us the trouble of having to read your inane responses. Upping your post count is not worth bugging the rest of us.
On a side note, I haven't been able to find the U.S. version yet. It is supposed to be released but I cannot find it. Does anybody here live in America and have you found a US version?
supposedly the fuze from att is released, probably need to wait for a bit before any mass stock on ebay or att itself
Thank you theclueless. I will search for fuze for further information.

well, actually...your question was a little vague.
There are too many variables to consider which is why it was proposed that you go have a hunt yourself.
you didn't say if you wanted a contract or SIM free for starters...that could give you a £3-400 price difference...
new or used could also save yourself some cash.

XDA Flint for sale

Hi guys. I'm selling my Flint...here it is:
link
Yeah, it's a bit cheeky, but when it's gone, it's gone...so hurry
If I saw this 3 weeks ago I would have gone for it surely
knowing HTC Athena 2 due out soon, I now prefers to wait till Athena 2 released.
best of luck! I did best offer you on that auction, but was declined.
Yeah too right it was declined. People offering me silly money. Think I'm stupid??? If people don't want to pay what these things are worth, they should either forget it and get a device that suits their budget, or wait a couple of years until it drops to the price you want to pay (judging by the offers, it'll be about 10 years!! ), instead of wasting my time and looking a little bit foolish...
Anyway it's still for sale if anybody's interested. Link updated and slightly reduced price.
Things to take into account:
Is it Simlocked to O2? I bought mine new and sim-free last year for £624 so if locked might be considered expensive for a second-hand item when you consider if anything goes wrong with it, they'd have to go through you go get it repaired.
Can you still actually leave buyers negative feedback? I thought that had been stopped by ebay.

O2 do not, and never have SIM locked their Windows Mobile devices. The Flint is pretty much the standard HTC offering, though the current ROM does not have the HTC Home front end.
O2 also tend to do warranty repairs based on the IMEI, so do not necessarily need the original owner to mediate things, as long as you are using an O2 SIM.
It seems amazing that prices seem to vary from around £320 to well over £500 on Ebay.
Thanks for clearing that up, if I were in the market it'd justify the cost for me.
Maybe if matmaneyre could point these things out in the item description it'd clear things up to the public in general and bring about a quicker sale
I still don't think it's possible to leave negative feedback to a buyer though, especially one with whom no transaction has actually occurred.
Yes- you're right. Ebay changed the rules at the end of last year, for better or worse, though as you say, it was never possible to leave FB for someone who didn't actually buy.
With Ebay, the content of the advert say's an awful lot about the product and the seller
I thought about buying that from you off of eBay.
Something doesn’t quite feel right about that auction.
You say it’s an upgrade, yet it’s not available as an upgrade!? Also you say it’s too complicated for you but it’s no more complicated than any other Windows mobile device.
Maybe I’m paranoid but...
To be honest, by 'too complicated for me' I really meant not quite right for me, as it has too many features I am not going to use, and I think I would be better off cashing in and getting something more suitable to my needs. Hope that clears it up a bit. I'd have put that in the description, but it seems to take so long to create a good listing just the way you want it, minor things that the everyday person browsing for such a device just get overlooked when you preview your listing before submitting it. Once you get to a stage where you think it sounds and looks good enough, you kinda just go with it.
As you say, it's no more complicated than any other WM device. It is available as an upgrade through O2, but strictly only to business customers. They are extremely hard to get hold of otherwise. I hounded them literally everyday for a month because I returned my faulty Serra (see my signature) and they couldn't offer me an equal or better replacement. All their Serras were out of stock - really messed me about for 4 weeks. In the end they backed down as there was nothing else they could offer me.
They don't know their ear from their elbow.
And I didn't realise you couldn't leave negative feedback to a buyer as luckily I've never been in a situation where I'd want to, although that's really only on there to make people think seriously before submitting an offer. I don't want to be relisting all the time for the sake of someone not reading the buyer restrictions or trying to scam me.
Hope that explains a few things...if you're still wary,. check my feedback. I've sold all my WM devices of the last 5 years on ebay (see sig again!) And see my postcount and view my posts too. I am a real, genuine human!!
Thanks everyone for the helpful info (didn't realise there was no simlock either!)
In general section is a thread called Buy & Sell

I didn't realise there was a buy and sell section. Thanks for that. If a mod would like to move me, feel free.
Anyway, relisted (again), updated link (again) and reduced (again)!
SOLD now, thanks.

Will europeon door fit T Mobiles Sensation?

I saw this discussed somewhere but cannot find it.
I screwed up and bought the Euro back cover that's missing the top left pin (looking at the inside of the cover).
I thought I remember reading that it doesn't matter, that it still works?? Anyone have any info on this?
I hate the thought of having to do a return to Hong Kong.
How's that saying go? "I'd screw up a wet dream"..
If no one knows the answer can someone help me figure out where I saw the thread that discussed this? I'm sure I read a discussion about this extra lead we have on our American version of the Sensation. I'm almost positive that someone commented that it did not matter, but can't remember how the thread progressed. It may not have even been here at xda LOL.

[Q] Is MobileFun a reputable merchant?

First my apologizes if this is the incorrect place to post & also if this appears a foolish question,
what is the general opinion regarding MobileFun what are your experiences with them are they any good?
I've attempted to contact them before to see if there is any kind of customer service via Email but was ignored this was nearly a year ago thing may have changed since then.
And I'm only too aware that many company's falsify customer reviews on both review centre and also on Google shopping cart.
Being an owner of an Galaxy note, there are few online stores that stock any accessories MobileFun being the most prominent on Google search results in the UK.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Oops! What a cleshay noob move on my part
I just knew I'd find a way to muck it up somehow.
Hi
Let me first put my cards on the table - I am biased (because one of my mates is a buyer there).
But I do genuinely buy a fair whack from there, and I can honestly say I can't think of one major issue.
All I can say is if you buy and have any issues - just PM me and I'll badger my mate to make sure everything gets sorted.
PS don't know if it makes a difference, they won some awards recently
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/about-us/
PPS My mate told me they had a a delivery of Zenus Galaxy Note cases, which will be going ontop the website today or tomorrow.... just in case you were interested.
Thanks for taking the time to reply
I can't help but be a little suspicious when I see reasonable price on niche products aka galaxy note.

sold out everywhere?

Why is the tablet sold out every where all of a sudden? I am going crazy waiting for my HTC 10 so I decide today after looking for probably 3 months that I am going to pull the trigger and buy the shield tablet to have while waiting for my phone, and look now they all sold out? Is this just my bad luck? While searching for one to buy I am also seeing a lot of comments about the recall.... does this have something to do with it? As a side note if anyone knows where I can order one right away for same price as Nvidia let me know. Nvidia said they would be having them again in a couple days so i am not really willing to pay too much more.
is it really needed to create another thread? You asked the same thing some days ago already. It would - apart from that - be really handy to know where you are living, as the availability may differ between countries.

No I didnt ask the same thing... I only decided to buy the thing today so that is not possible... previously I had asked for input on the pricing and if anyone knew of any deals. This is a question that stemmed from my decision to actually go ahead and purchase the device and finding out that they were sold out everywhere. My question being if there was a reason for this and the possibility of it being because of recalled units.
thanks so much for your reply even though it is completely useless and displays no intelligence... Its always entertaining to see people who take the time to reply to a question to just make a comment rather than answering the question.... To answer your question though sir, I am in the US... just as it states right next to my user name and in my profile. :laugh: :good:
