Was wondering if anybody ever bought one of these 32gb sdhc cards and if so, then what was their experience like?
hxxp://cgi.ebay.com/32GB-TF-Memory-Card-32G-Micro-SD-SDHC-MicroSDHC-MicroSD-/180527156723?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Electronics_Memory_Cards&hash=item2a0841cdf3#ht_979wt_1077
they are usually fake. they change the headers so when you plug it in it sees 32gb, but space runs out before you get to 1-2gb
not to say all are fake though. make sure your seller is well respected
I have one being shipped. I found out afterwards that these guys hack 2Gb cards to make them seem to be 32gig, but if you test them you get 29.2/32 BAD. ...from what I hear.
Also, It seems like the companies will give you a refund if you tell them you will give them good feedback for refunding your purchase?? Kind of scammy, to get more people to think they are good, but hey YOU get YOUR money back right.
I will report back when it arrives. I do not have high hopes, I paid less than $30.
I got some great 16gb's off ebay though for $27-30.

hahah let me know, if its true then its definitely worth it
use this to test
http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2...standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
you also have ebay paypal buy assurance so you have something to fall back on
Thank you. I will post the test results in 2 weeks or something. It was free shipping from hong kong
The seller seems pretty good with 100,000+ reviews and only a few negative ones.The few negative reviews are all for 32 GB sd cards. And some positive reviews that said the card was fake but they got a refund.
oh well

thank you so much i appreciate ;D
teh OP buy this memory? im kind iterested pretty cheap tbh
I bought an 8gb Class 6 unbranded one off ebay for £14 expecting it to be fake, but it's brilliant...
I'm about to test it with the software flybyme recommended though...
The eBay memory card arrived, and it is definitely fake. I am not that upset since I knew it was going to be fake. ($28 for 32GB was the clue)
The test returned 1.9 GB good. I have purchased 2 16gb cads from ebay previously that are both flawless. So they aren't all fake.
Time to fight for the refund.

Did you really expect it to be real?
No, did you read my previous postings?
I hope you leave negative feedback on that guy, and you have ebay refund your money so he gets pinched. I'm betting Dante is revising his circles of hell to include a spot for people who sell fake products.
I purchased one for $133 with shipping from amazon marketplace (GoBeyond).
It's shipped from Ireland, WOW!!! but I got true 29.7GB (measured from host and phone).

Try putting 29GB of data on it first before you celebrate. The fake ones all report the correct size, but are really smaller cards and can't hold anything more than the original size.

Sounds like a good deal then
Returned my Captivate last week due to the GPS problems. Now I see it for $50 on amazon! Android Forums wrote about it, and I checked and seems to be true.
Man, am I glad I returned mine. Still hope they fix it... I'll get another. But it'll be cheap!

The offer is for new service plan only. It's marketing and has nothing to do with the merits of the phone which remains one of the best on the market. GPS seems to really be the only problem which is annoying but I am not sure there is any phone out there without problems anyways.
Phone is great, I loved mine.... just couldn't justify a 2 year contract and $230 (Best Buy) with the flaky gps. But $50... thats a great deal. Just thought others considering returning their Captivates because of the GPS should be aware of this. It might be a factor. (Yes that's new contract only pricing.)

Bought mine today for $89.99 on a 2 year renewal. Should be here end of the week along with an Aria for the wife.

Where did you purchase it for that price on a renewal?
Letstalk through walmart.com
I purchased my Captivate on 7/26 at at&t for $199.99, I am still eligible for return at only $35 restocking fee.
What can I do to cash in on these reduced deals? Anyone have any suggestions?
If I return the phone do I still have an upgrade again?

Just a heads up if you use the code 25rafpcver1 youll get $25 off 89.99 price, brings the price of the Captivate to $64.99 shipped. This code is good until 8/14. BTW this phone is ONLY good if you are either upgrading or getting new service, it does not qualify if you are getting the phone only.
Thanks for the heads up on the Amazon price. I bought mine from Amazon for $89.99 just 6 days before they dropped it to $49.99. Hopefully they'll refund me the $40 difference. If not I won't be too upset I suppose. This is a great phone for the $90 I got it for!

If you return your Captivate solely because of GPS issues - that's nuts. If you want a GPS product, get a TomTom. Besides, there's an excellent chance that this will be dealt with in an update. Samsung's got too much to lose to ignore this issue (as silly as I think it is).
I'm sure it will definitely be fixed soon. Running the I9000 rom on my phone now and the GPS locks in about 15 seconds.
First of all I got mine for free on the first day it came out from walmart lol, but I just wanted to let anyone with GPS issues know that the i9000s JM5 ROM upgrade has fixed my GPS from no-lock to a 10-20s lock with no blue circle (even inside the house). So if you head over to the captivate dev section I would highly suggest giving it a try!

I paid the best buy premium just so I could have the very easy return if the GPS didn't work. I already had a phone without a gps... I want one with one. So I don't think that is so nuts. Samsung gets this fixed and I'll buy another one...
i just bought one from best buy yesterday(was due for an upgrade). i'm going to take it back and pick one up from wal-mart. my question is can i go in-store and do this and get this deal? if not, how exactly do i buy the phone online if i'm not starting a service agreement? i'm due for an upgrade and didn't see an option to purchase it without getting a new plan..
any help, thanks!
dammm not a bad deal!!!!

I agree guy. I ordered on July 31. It came August 4. So Im like amazon I only had the phone 6 days, and the price dropped 40 dollars.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Does Walmart.com/Letstalk charge a restocking fee in the case of a return? I didn't see any mention of a fee but I have never ordered a cell phone from Walmart.com.
Anyone else have trouble buying this? Amazon said AT&T required a deposit and Amazon can't process orders that need a deposit so it cancelled my order .___.
If you read over at the Galaxy S forum section (GT-i9000), the latest unofficial firmware(JG4) fixed almost all the issue that the current Galaxy S has. Therefore, a fix for the US versions (HOPEFULLY again hopefully) will come to fruition.
Gtab for sale
Please see post #5. Today only woot.com is selling them for 279.99 +5 for shipping. Was selling mine, but I won't compete with that price.
A couple of things...
No pictures is not good. I refuse to buy something I can't see.
I just ordered a brand new one for $350. Without seeing or knowing the condition of yours it would be hard for me to pull the trigger and choose yours over a new one where at least I understand where to return if needed.
thanks for the info, I'll post pics tomorrow. Where did you get your gtab for $350?
go ebay for auction there is only 320-340 for one. Also u can buy the G tablet from China manufature just 300 usd for each including shipping, but they only accept a VIP group purchase something like 100 people a group, then they will give you a disscount.
one day only sale. no tax unless you're in texas
Woot has them today for $279, and I have heard for awhile Sears Outlet has them for $279 as well. I have heard lots of bad things bout the G Tab so came here to research if I should pick one up to play with heh.
Awesome, I am in Texas and get hit with the tax, but still that is cheaper than the one I ordered. Just cancelled my other order.
Was just coming here to post this too. I'm in for one. I've been watching the development for the Gtab since the beginning, so happy I finally found one at a great price at the same time that I had the funds to get it.
Damn. I ordered from jr.com for $350 free shipping. They just shipped it out today.
Anyway, I went ahead and ordered from woot anyway. I guess I'll try to either return the jr one or sell it.
Wow...a few bucks more than a Nook Color. My wife and I already have those...But I couldnt' resist for this price. This thing sounds awesome.
Actually it's $279.99 + $5 shipping, makes a difference because I ordered 2 and they only charged the $5 once. (Perfect timing, my girlfriend just decided this was the tablet she wanted, and at that price I wanted one too.)
This is crazy, I just bought one of these on Amazon today for $100 more. Looks like I'll be sending that one back. This just saved me a $100, this is wonderful! Never heard of woot before now either, oddly enough seems they're owned by Amazon too.

They shouldn't be able to charge you for return shipping if you refuse delivery. If it's already arrived and you signed for/opened it you're probably too late though.
Just bought one. This will be my 2nd Gtablet which I'll use to flash ROMs. Better than SEARS outlet.
So do I buy one of these? I was holding out for an Android tablet that would run honeycomb and didn't come with a carrier contract.
The price seems so tempting.
Edit: Too late put the order in couldn't resist. $320 less than what a 32gb wifi xoom will be or $220 less than a 16gb galaxy tab.
G-Tablet for $280 new...
Woot is having a deal for a new G-Tablet for $280.
Valid for 24 hrs.
I can't post links so you will have to do some work...

woot there it is... Woot..
Great price for NEW....
Just ordered one myself, great deal!
So I pulled my TF101 out of the closet to see what I can sell it for since I never used it. When I powered it up the damn screen was messed up. My wife claims she didn't do it but it looks like something heavy was placed in on the screen. And now it doesn't work. Well I can manipulate things but can't see them.
Anyway... I researched it a bit and say that the keyboard dock alone sells pretty well on EBAY (80 bucks or so) so I was just wondering what you guys would sell everything for? Everything being the tf101 tablet, keyboard dock, and leather case.
Thanks.
I watched a TF101 & Dock without a scratch sell on eBay a couple weeks back for £130~

Wow thats a lot. I wonder if I should just price it at 90 bucks or so.
I generally find you get more interest and higher chance of sale if you start an Auction at £0.99p with no reserve
I've tried selling the same thing with a buy it now and it didn't sell, then tried auction with reserve and it didn't meet the reserve, then put it on as above at 99p with no reserve and it sold for more than my buy it now and my reserve attempts would have sold for

Nice find, but you should be more descriptive in the title.
Here is a clickable link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2QUWTW/.
BTW, as of 11/19 @ 11:50AM CST, it's $0.01 + $4.98 shipping so total is $4.99. I don't like it when people just say "price + shipping" as if shipping doesn't cost anything. Even though the seller may be marketing the case as $0.01 but you still have to pay $5 in the end.

Very true. Still, its a good deal, though. I use a carrying case for my 9, but if you like this kind of case, it's a good deal

If this case is anything like one I bought for my Nexus 7 2012 before (and it looks identical), then the quality is pretty poor. I would say no one should pay more than $5 for it. So IMHO it's not a deal, just a fair price at best. Of course, if I am wrong and the quality is top-notch then indeed it's a deal, but I highly doubt it.

I bought it on eBay before and it's been a long time and I guess the buyer doesn't sell it anymore. But it looks more or less like this one below:
http://www.amazon.com/AYAMAYA-Gener...8618&sr=8-15&keywords=nexus+7+2012+pu+leather
Now after taking a second look, the one for Nexus 9 definitely looks better. I may even give it a try.

Idk, I'm just gonna stick to my carrying case. I would prefer to have the thing as close to naked as I can when I'm using it. as long as it's safe when I'm moving around, I'm happy.
