Hi,
I am looking for a shield tablet but confused about the battery problem. I found one used here for about 150 € and not sure if I should buy it. If I turn it on and IT gets disabled by nvidia, can i reactivate it? Or van I just install a custom rom before and be happy with the tablet?
Thanks!
I bought an 32Go and the battery is an B01*, so no problem, ask to the seller if the battery is an Y01* (check in the settings) and if yes don't buy it.
No, if it is y01 just make sure they haven't done the recall yet. If not, you get a brand new one and get to keep the old.
I would not buy if is already recalled, at least not for that much. Maybe $50 us at most.
Not for $150. You can get a new one for $200.

Hi,
I really want a TF700, but the UK price is ridiculous, and I don't want/need the 64GB.
So, although the idea terrifies me, I want to import one. Can anyone help with a few questions, please? (I know some of these can be answered elsewhere, but I thought I'd throw them in while I was asking the main one about importing. Sorry).
If the tablet comes with 4.0, will I, from the UK, be able to get an automatic, official upgrade to Jelly Bean? (If not, I'm happy to go custom, which I've done on a couple of phones)
Do I need a fancy power adaptor, or will the bog standard US to UK ones work just fine?
If I get one without the dock, can I use the dock from anything else in the same line?
When importing, say I do it through eBay (a decent, well reseached seller, such as BuySpry, perhaps), are there any other potential hidden charges other than the price and the stated shipping cost?
And finally, can anyone recommend where to import one from (to the UK)?
I'm very grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Hi bought my tf700 tablet from the US on Ebay, it took about 3days to arrive at DHL in the Midlands. DHL phoned me to advise me that I had to pay the duty which was about 62 pounds. I also bought a charger on Ebay for about 12 pounds. You can also use the US charger I plugged it in to a travel adapter. I have done all the Asus updates on my tablet with out any problems at all.
I believe the tf201 keyboard/dock is the same as the one for the tf700
I imported mine from Amazon Germany. Weirdly it was dispatched from Milton Keynes in 2 days. Stickers had German on though when unpacked but fired up in English straight away.
I didn't have to pay any duty and with the euro exchange rate at the time I saved a bit of cash as well. :good:
I just bought a travel plug adapter for the power pack and it works fine.
Thanks, both. Hadn't thought of Germany. Hmmm...
Hi guys,
So i am one of the unlucky (stupid?) that flashed the wrong twrp and am now paying the price. I'm looking to get a new motherboard for my tablet and am happy to replace it. Question is. I can't remember for the life of me if I have a 16gb or a 32 gb tablet. I can't turn it on to check. any way to know from the serial number or from the old motherboard if I remove it? I am looking to buy one online and found one on ebay for a reasonable price. Anyone have any other suggestions for where to find a used/new motherboard? I don't really want to give Asus any more money. Thanks!
doesn't matter which one your had, just buy the 32GB one on eBay.

Hey guys, always wanted a G Pro 2 and now that they're so cheap on ebay I figured I can finally get one, but it seems like they could be factory seconds or refurbished going off the some of the feedback claiming the phones are faulty from a few sellers. Anyone here got their F350 off ebay?
Cheers
I got few refurbished LG G2 F320. Depends on the seller. I have good and bad experiences with refurbished LG's. Some of them were without any problem, but some of them with bad screens, bad buttons, no 3G and 4G etc. Most of them are with bad second hand screens, loose touchscreens, no original battery, no original accessories etc... But if you find a good seller with good reputation, and a price from 160 to 180 us$ for LG G Pro 2, why not to try .
Got mine off ebay. Was sold as new but did not came with the prodective stickers around the body my first one came with. Other than that phone works fine. My first ebay f350k wifi stopped working.
It does seem to be a lottery when you buy from ebay

Even if it is cheap I'd rather not take the risk

Had mine over eBay too. My first had a dead GPS, the seller replaced it, but it took 2 months to have all this resolved. I am however very happy with my phone and the price was unbeatable. They seem refurbished even if sold as new because I first went to a repair shop with my first phone and they claimed that there was a sticker at the back of the phone that attested for the refurbishment. Opening the phone would also have broken the sticker, so I preferred an exchange instead.

I bought my F350 off Ebay in December 2015 and it was sealed, and certainly appears to be brand new. I did read the description very carefully, of course, and checked his feedback carefully. I paid just a few pounds more than the cheapest and this seller seems to be selling new units. It cost me £129.

What kind of sticker where is it located on the phone?
Hello,
I am going to buy a new smartphone soon and I only have £100 to spend on it. What I want from it is to have a big screen (Maybe 5"?) with a a quiet large battery so it would work a bit, maybe dual sim and to be able to root it easily and put custom Android on it such as CyanogenMod etc. The rest stuff like camera, NFC etc I don't really care about, The most important for me is the screen size and battery life and various modifications I can do with such smartphone. What do you guys think and what would you recommend to buy ? I have found Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 16GB 13MP Unlocked from Hong Kong for a £100 on Ebay but I think that price for such device is suspicious, what do you people think about it ? The eBay item number is 111849677878.
Many Thanks !

A good phone for 100 quid is hard to find. They will start most likely around 200 quid. Try looking for the OnePlus One. If not new maybe used and it will save you some money. I see the OnePlus one starting at 200 quid atm.
Hi guys, I am sorry because this is probably 1828318th time someone asks this.
I have samsung galaxy s6, I love it. I could get this phone for 120-150 euros, is it worth ? It probably wouldn't be my primary phone, something to have in reserve but I would also use it, one of the reasons I would like to try it because on my sgs6 is first time I flashed rom, so I would also like to experiment with it.
Thank you
It's a great phone, hardware-wise it's perfect. Great chipset (cpu, gpu), 2gb of ram is enough, go for the 32gb version since it doesn't take a sd card. The camera is very good, the screen even better, and it's a nexus, so you have many people working on it. It's cheap and you can find replacement parts cheap and easily on eBay (screen, battery etc.).
If you're planning on buying from eBay (specifically those from honk kong) be careful, I bought 3 of them (1st motherboard broke on its own, didn't have backlight, 2nd came with a literally broken motherboard) because they were all broken or faulty. Suspicious things I found when I removed the back covers. The 3rd was finally good.
I bought 2 of them for 180 dollars [emoji14]
