[Q] How can they sell these this cheap?

On ebay- how is this possible? Are these garbage? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Micro-SDHC-...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item3a5f1832d6
The same thing shopping on google is $100-$120 http://www.google.com/products?q=32...SearchBox&oe=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wf

my experience is that cheap ebay stuff is usually just as good. probably fell off a truck or the seller has some sort of connect. i'd trust it tho

they probably have like 50 of them so the price is not a issue for them Ebay is generally safe got my droid 2 for 50 bucks

Probably counterfeit
You have to be careful with media cards...there's quite a big counterfeiting business in them...from what I've read.

I wouldn't waste my time. These cards are most likely fake. They show up to windows, your phone, or whatever as 32 gb but will really be a lot less. Once at capacity, for example 2gb, extra data becomes corrupted. Having the sandisk logo doesn't mean anything, there is a lot of fakes out there. The general rule is that if somethings too good to be true, it is.

His feed back looks pretty good to me. It's super easy to check for 32 gig's obviously if it isn't there then contact the seller. Worst case you lose $12 for a couple extra gigs. I might buy one

I bought one its not much to loose ill tell ya how it is

This is very true. The digital camera folks have a lot to say about this. The cards can be formatted way beyond their actual capacity, and then fail dramatically. When they go, they're gone. Here's a couple of articles I found:

I wish you guys the best of luck, but I'd also be real careful about keeping your stuff backed up off-site. I'd sure hate to lose all my nandroids!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a $50 gift card to best buy so I'll buy a real one.

how the hell did you fill up a 16Gb card saps? i have a ton of apps installed, cwm backups, etc......cant imagine putting much more on here unless i just filled it up with pics and video.....and i have 14Gb's free still....!
maybe you should just invest in one of those little micro sd to usb adapters and dump to the pc, or sync more to dropbox?

Music is a great way to fill up the microsd..

[Q] SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC - Amazon Reduced Price?

Hi
Ive had my HTC Sensation (XE Beats) for about a month now - and absolutely love it. I've dropped my iPod and now use my phone as my mobile music player (the soundstage is great, and I use PowerAMP who's EQ is just superb!)... my iPod was a 30GB Video (from 2005?) - but I'm currently using the bundled MicroSD card which is 16GB (but only 11gb of that is available to use )...
I have looked at 32gb cards, and have read all the problems about getting fakes which are more like 3.2gb. But I've seen 64gb cards are now "available". And this is more attractive seeing as I was looking to buy a 64gb iPod touch anyway.
I put available in quotes there because... well they aren't exactly readily available (from UK stockists)... and even when they are - the delivery/dispatch dates are extremely vague - like that of Amazon.
Amazon are currently selling the SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra SDXC card for £99.99 - a good £65 off the RRP. IMO i think this is a reasonable price for such a new technology.
But the thing is... how can they sell these cards at such a low price? When even the smaller, less known brands such as Komputerbay are selling for more/a similar price?
And why the 1-2 month dispatch estimate? Only until a few weeks back the listing was 'Out of stock'....
How legit do you think this is? There are no reviews so I can't tell if you'd even get a card.... let alone how long you'd have to wait.
(Side note... it'd be great if you could post links to other stockists selling these hi-capacity cards!)

It was on Amazon last year. I'm pretty sure I paid with my CC something probably could have been done, but I didn't really know where to start. I pretty much only use paypal now though

also listed on Play.com for £99.99 (was £149.99) but unfortunately is also out of stock

Who is getting your old phone?

Poll
MOM .. Dad.... Wife... Husband,.....Brother... Craigslist.... trashcan

I'm keeping my old phone as a dev phone. I'm turning Android App Dev so I want something I can have at my computer testing a whole bunch of stuff without causing harm to my actual phone.
It (Being my Samsung Captivate) would also be a great wifi player if I just put the phone in Airplane mode.

eBay's getting mine.

Im posted my GS2 on craigs..but if thats not sold fast enough its going to my sister for cheap.

My phones stay in mint condition and i either sell them for close to retail value or my wife gets it.
Best way to get the wifey approval is to give her my phone, which is usually one of the newest. Now I always have the newest phones without having to sell the idea or get my ass kicked lol

Keeping mine as a back up wouldn't get enough for my little aria even though it's running cm9 which some older higher end phones don't have yet

Craigslist, guy bought it for his wife. Everything was still in bags and the phone was perfect, she'll think it's new. haha

ebay for sure. should get around $150 for my infuse, and thatll cover the cost of my one X

If I decide to get the One X I will either sell my iPhone 4 on Craigslist or trade it in for credit at Amazon.

+1 My Sensation along with the case, back covers, batteries and box will all be hitting eBay in one big sale. Now to convince people some dust under the screen and a broken headphone jack aren't a big deal...

probably selling my sprint iphone 4s on ebay, or craigslist not sure..

Ebay
Ebay is gonna get my old iPhone 4. Average sale of iPhone 4 is ~$275 and One X is $149 + $36 activation fee, so I end up making money on the device itself! (excluding the subsidized contract :/ )

i sold my captivate a long time ago lol was using dads backup blackberry. so buying the phone is gonna hit my account 150 bucks hard

Craigslist
Im going to sell my 16GB iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $215

I'm amazed at the number of people that are coming from iPhones to the hox makes me think it's really a kick ass phone because most of the people I know who have iPhones swear by them. Glad to see so many converting to the Droid side

Disappointed with HTC QC

My first htc one x was white and had light bleed. I just got it exchanged for a black one. It is flawless...or at least I thought. It has dust under the screen and its annoying. My local att store is stubborn and the guys there are mean. I bought this phone off-contract so I can't live with these defects. What should I say to the guys at the ATT store?
Also, I am very disappointed with HTC quality check system at this point

If you bought it new off contract at AT&T you have 30 days just like anyone else, mean or not mean. Try a different AT&T store. They all take exchanges.

I had the same issue with my grey one x. That ISN'T dust those are dead pixels my friend! I swapped mine out after downloading a pixel checker app and showed the employee and he swapped it out and not restocking fee. Don't settle especially since you paid full price. Go get your money's worth.

No restock fee for defective units.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I had to pay a restocking fee to get a grey one. Well actually I wanted another white one but they are out of stock everywhere. And the said because of the customs thing they didn't know when they were getting more in. But because it was a different color they said it was like getting a whole different phone even though that's all they had left. They did offer to credit me on my bill though for the fee. I asked if I could have the zagg shield instead and they were cool and said ok.
It still makes me wonder though why they would charge a restocking fee for a defective unit. It wasn't my fault they only had grey left.

Because technically its a different phone because of the color. They did right by crediting you the restocking fee though.
Also they won't be getting anymore One X in for a while. Consider yourself very lucky.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Well guys just thought id update you all. I just took my phone in for exchange because of the dead pixel. The new one looks great so far....lets hope I don't suddenly notice a dead pixel lol

Same happened to me, bought off contract white one x and exchanged for the grey due to light leak. Except i had to pay the restocking with no credit back or anything. This new one is great though so im happy.

Can we get away off restocking fee if we complain about no multitasking?
I can't even use my data logging app, as it's being closed all the time...I call it a defect...
Oh and they say it has 16gb, while we only get 10gb - that's a lie (btw, the store I bought it from (BestBuy) had a note regarding different phones, and for the HTC One X it was saying that it has 16gb expandable to 32gb)

Don't fret, simply take it back and exchange it. If there's a clear manufacturers defect the last thing on my mind is to worry about it. I think "sweet, I have irrefutable evidence to support an exchange".
That being said though, I've never had any issues with any Android handsets I've purchased. I always read about screens with light bleeding, dust under the screens, misaligned cases, etc. Never, ever had a problem and I'm hyper critical.

Return it, get your money back, and patronize a store that treats you properly.

Yeah and unless traffic to/from that dropbox doesn't count as data usage, I wouldn't consider it as free or expandable, but more like a LIE, especially if one doesn't have unlimited data.

Login on the PC to your dropbox account, then complete the star-up guide thing to access all your data space. I was confused about it before as well. And yea it does cost data to transfer so not all that useful. Luckily I don't really need 26GB of data out of my 32 GB available. But this phone is amazing anyway! Friends are very jealous!

I bought the international version from Amazon and have returned it once for pixels. I can share some info that I got about the next shipment of one x s4's. It will be late summer before we see these phones again. The manufacturing of the galaxy and iphone have looked up suppliers and assembly plants in China.
Ps. Love the display but the performance and storage are disappointing at best.

I just got this phone yesterday and I love it. imo I think the one x looks better but I love how compact this phone is for how big the screen is. cant go wrong that. as far as im concerned the one x+ still isn't too much of an upgrade besides its hd screen

I think you can't go wrong with either. The One X does feel good and solid and the bigger screen is awesome too. But the One S is so thin and sexy; even with a case. I went back to stock for the new update and this thing is even faster.
In my opinion, the only reason somebody would get a One X is because of the bigger screen. Even though the One is is marketed below the One X, it certainly does not feel or operate like it.

I don't think there will be a One S+. The way I see it, the One X+ was a small bump that gave the US a non-LTE but Tegra3 version. If you want the big screen, I would wait, but I'm really happy with the One S for the already stated reasons.

These can be found for $250 on craigslist. Buy it now sell it later without losing a dime.

I just got a new one from craigslist a couple days ago, nothing wrong with getting stuff off of CL.. especially since phones come with a 1 year manufacture warranty if there is a issue with it (besides cracked screens).

Just bought HTC One S from a "nice" dude I found on Craigslist. The guy apparently works for T-Mobile, and we completed the transaction at a T-Mobile store. I paid $275 for a brand new HTC One S. I wanted a Galaxy S3 originally but getting a One S for around 60% of a GS3 price feels good. It's a good phone for the price for sure.

HTC One S is a great phone, if you enjoy compacted efficiency.

This phone is great IMO it all comes down to what you like, go on YouTube watch some reviews and see what you think.

You can always rendezvous with the craiglist seller in a bank or ATM machines as there are always camera's there and you can verify the phone is legit and then get the money from the ATM and that way if you ever have to file a complaint, you will have the time and hopefully the camera captured you and the seller doing the transaction in the bank lobby
