Chinaecarts - General Topics

Hi there,
I'm considering buying this phone: chinaecarts com/samsung-galaxy-s3-12ghz-dual-core-48inch-mtk6577-android-40-16gb-phone-p-3095.html
However I've never bought from them before. So, has anyone else had any experience with them before? Are they safe to buy from?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, thank you very much!
This device rocks! I'm sure!
Anyway, did you pay the device with Moneygram or with Bank money transfer?
Please write more info, thanks!

Unfortunately I decided not to order, because I looked at other reviews and many other people said that they got scammed by Chinaecarts. Also many people have mentioned that they are unable to contact their customer support at all once they have purchased(/been scammed).
Moneygram specifically say on their website not to use it to pat for items, and that it could indicate a scam.
A real shame because Chinaecarts appear to be the only seller selling this phone. I may still buy a MTK6577 device (now I'm looking at the Haipai X710d) so long as it is the best I can get in my budget of £190.
tl;dr: I wouldn't recommend buying from them.

The general rule of internet is usually, if it's too good to be true, it is. I guess that even if they would send something (which I doubt) you'll get a "fake" replica or something like that. I'm glad you decided not to order there, since it would be sad if you'd lose your money.

Any chance you can scroll down and show us the cases AT&T will offer with it? I'm real curious about the silicone one I saw on the BGR post.

This is the most solid thing we've seen regarding the Fuze to date. Fake? I highly doubt it. But all things are subject to change when it comes to AT&T so we're just patiently playing the waiting game. And trying to convince our significant others that the phone isn't just a new toy to support my tech obsession, it's an investment

It confirms the already solid evidence we had for the 11th, the email that was leaked.
Those accessories are just universal crap ones I.E. micro sd, bluetooth, etc etc. There is a silicone one that will be avail. But I have seen pics of it yet.
And if you think its fake thats fine, I guess my internal AT&T intranet is fake as well. If if you want to call me fake then ill delete my post and never give out inside info again!
To the others that appreciate it, your welcome. Im glad I can help you.

Thanks D8DNS!!! I have a very good relationship with the manager at the retail store by my office. He confirmed the 11th date and there are 4 on a truck on the way to his store from Memphis and should arrive Monday. He said he will give me a call probably late Monday morning to come in and pick up my Fuze!!! Goodbye iPhoney!!! Welcome back Winmo and the awesome peeps on XDA Devs who will make my Fuze run like a raped ape.... Hopefully

[Android] Donations to buy a Polaris to mssmison (for testing)

Hi my friends! I've written a private message to vilord, dzo and mssmison to report the current status of Android for our devices and this is what mssmison answered:
I'd love to help man, but my phone died a couple weeks back and I've been unable to get a replacement
Vilord and I had planned a lot of work on the Polaris, but without anything to test on it's not going to get done.

As you may already know, he is one of our best bets to a fully working Android. He has helped a lot, along with other wonderful people that bring us the best of their knowledge.
Well, I don't know how many of you donated money for this project, but it's definitely necessary to provide our developers with test devices.
I make a call to all of you that could help with a small donation for the cause. If you know where to buy a Polaris or you don't use yours anymore, please, notify us using this thread. The community will appreciate your help.
jamezelle has set up a donation link for him: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...e=Vogue Android Development&currency_code=USD
Please, if you donate money, write down the amount and confirmation code in this thread to know how much money we've got.
Hi, SuperJMN.
I will donate if needed.
Already tried to flash -> a bit unstable, but Android will give second live to Polaris.
hi buddies
i will donate for sure if it helps
feel free to contact me

It's great you are supporting him! If only we could get more people to find him a good device... It doesn't matter if it's a very little donation. Many a little makes a mickle.
He's from Canada. Do you know anybody from Canada that is wanting to sell a Polaris? Maybe we could send one to him if we get enough donors.
it 's cheaper every week
maybe we can look on ebay

Wow, that's a good deal! Let's see what mssmison thinks.
Selling mine Polaris for 60 euro's, everything works.. Hardspl flashed, 6.5 rom etc.. I have a new phone, so my htc polaris is unused for a while now..
Interested? Pm.

I received a message from mssmison. I have just realized that his original device was a Vogue, not a Polaris Sorry, I misunderstood it.
Well, I'm going to change the topic of this thread to fit the reality. My proposal is this: now that a donation link is set up, we could use it to raise the numbers enough to buy a Polaris, too. If you make a donation, specify that it is to buy a Polaris.
I trust that mssmison will be honest and he will get one once he gets the money. I will send him a PM to inform about it.
He told me that he's going to use it as a test device and extra phone to develop for. This could make possible to fix things quickly!
You've got to take into consideration that Vogue and Polaris are similar devices, but not the same, and we have way less developers... I think this is the only mean to keep the dev scene alive.

[Q] No1 S6

Hi
I took the plunge and bought the S4 clone/knock off No1 S6. It arrived in the UK from Hong Kong (day after it was posted! great service from Android-Inside). First impressions are that it is a good phone with a great screen. I wanted to post a reply in Manuxo's thread but as a newbie I'm not allowed. If anyone has any (basic) questions about the phone/spec etc please feel free to post.:laugh:

Hi jw54,
Can you use a normal s4 case on this phone?
Does the battery last long?
Hope you do a review on it.

Had this phone a week now but will be trying to get a replacement for two main reasons:
1. Phone constantly freezes and reboots. I've done a factory restore but has made no difference.
2. Phone will not connect to mobile data - tried everything suggested by my network (vodafone UK) but nothing fixes the bug.
If the phone did the basics correctly I would be more than happy.
The next part of the adventure is to see what kind of customer service I get from Android-Inside
In response to your questions - battery lasts OK but obviously due to restrictions I've not used the phone at full throttle. I bought a cheap case from Ebay - the fit is not great but that's probably due to the case. I think better quality S4 accessories would fit fine.

You can ask your phone to be replaced but every phone with this version of android installed (4.2.1) have this issues so i think it is better to wait an software update.
If you ask for a replacement you can wait for a lonnnggg time until you have your phone back.

So is there a custom rom for this phone or at least root instructions? I'm not very familiar with the android environment, so I wouldn't want to brick the phone. Not to mention that its customer support would be pretty much non existant... :/

Did you buy from "CHINAPADMALL"
update
No - i bought mine from android-inside.com which is now called anybuying.com????
Just a word of warning - after much tweaking and messing about it's now working reasonably well. However don't expect this to be a genuine alternative to a Galaxy S4 or iPhone, there are too many issues and problems. the best place to look is 'mychinesephone.com' where you will find loads of info. they also have a shop where you can buy the phone if you still want one

Hi guys, if you don't already know there has been a kickstarter for a while now for something called magbolt. Magbolt is basically a charger that attaches with magnets and is apparently safer and has many benefits such as less dirt and grime. They support micro sd USB type cable and lightning adapters. You can buy USB type car and lightning port ones sperately or you can buy a two in one that works with micro sd and lighting ports. I am making this thread to simply inform you all about this incredible new piece of tech which will hopefully be the future of charging. You can only currently but it from their website. Check out the link and please let me know what you think of magbolt and if you are going to get one. Thanks for viewing this thread and thanks to anyone who replies. I will be ordering one tomorrow to test andet you know how good it is and how good the charging speeds are. Tap the burger icon and then about to read more into it.

I feel sorry for you if you actually ordered this man. Based on the reviews from the Kickstarter page it would appear you may be out your money and getting no product.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong obviously, but so far it would appear that just like every other great-looking-magnetic-USB-c-funded-by-kickstarter item, this one too is also nothing more than a fraud and a sham. It's extremely sad, really.

Nope don't know a thing, simply read a few of the recent kickstarter page comments. Sorry!

Looking at older model used phones.. but which ones to look for ?

edit 2 Sorry, I think this should have been in the Q&A thread? I can't see any option to move it there, or delete this post, and make a new one there. Sorry
Hey guys,
Have been looking on ebay at phones released around 2-3yrs ago for a new(used) upgrade from my current HTC ONE X... but I'm not familiar with all the smartphone tech, or issues, or what's decent/bad etc..
Originally I looked at the LG NEXUS 5X, then read it's got a fault that causes it to fail/Bootloop (eventually). Few people said, there's other phones in similar price range that would be better, though none suggested any (yet). Then I looked at the NEXUS 6P, but, I read again, these have a bootloop fault too ??
Are there any phones that have gotten a good reputation, probably 2014> that still perform well today, but aren't plagued with hardware faults? I don't mind if I have to repair / reflash firmware etc.. as one reason I look at ebay, hope to pickup a phone for cheap (due to broken.. ie screen, not starting up), then fix it.
Price range, around $100, but obviously price for phone will vary depending on phone and condition etc..
[edit] I should have noted, I'm from Australia, so phone prices vary here. Maybe, if you can, throw some suggestions my way, and I'll look around based on what I can spend.
Suggestions on what to look out for ?
Thanks in advance,
