Dock from Dx-Box- Warning!

If you have in mind to order this :
http://dx-box.com/desktop-dock-sync-cradle-charger-dk26-for-sony-xperia-z-c6603.html
Think Again!
They will send you a completely different dock with spring clips (and no extra USB port) which they are paradoxically advertising that it damages the phone!
Sent them email and they replied they needed photos. I did and never heard of them again. The ball is now it PayPal's court as I don't stand these type of sellers.
Looking at some posts here it seems I am not the only one!

sorry to hear that but they aren't advertising that their device damage the phone, the damage is referred to competitors or the original dock

Damaging XZ with the original Dock ? Funny when you look at their pictures, how plastic can damage glass back of the handset !?
This dock has only one more usb port to "charge another device at the same time", totally useless...

Still no any answer on it! I will send them mail now again, to see what we can do. I don`t want to dispute on paypal as I belive, we can do it as it should be done!

Yes but what I received from them was a clone of the original dock! ie. with those "damaging" clips (their words)
same as this btw
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-USB...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item3a8172d4a1

thank got i bought the "normal" version from ebay.
Lets wait and see.

No worries, they contacted me today if I want refund or re-shipment. I choose re-shipment. I told them if this time I get wrong, I will ask for refund. If you ask nicely, they reply with no worries, I guess... No need to go straight to paypal, it can be done withtout them...

Same thing happened to me...i have sent them an email and now i am waiting for reply.
It took 23 days to receive the dock....so to wait almost another month it just sucks...
For me is useful the second USB port and that the ports were on the back of the dock not on the side like is it on the replica dock i recieved.

Since there is no respond anymore from seller, I opened dispute claim on paypal against them.

3rd Party Wireless Charger card

Not a review...but has anyone tried this? Any differences compared to official with cover?

Buy it and let us know?
I keep seeing a million different charge cards, but nobody has tried them.

I might be afraid to use it because the bulge could maybe compromise waterproof abilities....

I just ordered a few of these from china, should get it in about 2-3 days, visited the china sourcing fair on the 14th in hong kong there wasn't much s5 stuff around.

made by the same factory as the energy one posted above, they are just rebadged, they do alot of these in china.

Yeah, figured as much. I've already got a backorder on two of the original Samsung back covers. Will be using these until they are ready.

Do you know when y'all should get those? I've got my finger on the trigger but if it interferes with IP67, I'm out.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I should be getting mine any day now. Not sure if it will affect the waterproofing or dust rating. My guess is that it will not interfere There's just enough space in the back cover for it. Only time will tell.

Okay, makes sense..
Decided to order an S4 card from amazon with 2 day shipping. The contacts seem to be in the same position, albeit more to the left on the S5. I think it should work just fine!

please do! The only reason it wouldn't work is if the contacts are switched (ie: pos/neg).. if thats how they even work?
Also when looking at placement, it might cover the speaker and/or sit on the seal. Minor issues to deal with while we wait for the official cover!

The s4 that i have wont affect the speakers, i also a few s3, note 2, i can check those, but the s4 has a better chance, as mentioned it all goes by the positive/negative. Pins and the size.

The bulk of the thread containing this deal over at slickdeals was that most, if not all, orders were cancelled. Many were saying it was a price mistake.

thanks...that was after i last checked where people were saying they are in for 3 and in for a cancellation...and those people seemed to have ordered right at the cut-off line of when it last ran out of stock
the DT-900 charging pad by itself without the pillow was also $5 and I was able to score 10 of those as well....delivery is set for monday
i just checked the status of my 3 orders of the fat pillow version and it says processing

Went down to my local ATT store and scored 2 DT-900 nokia wireless chargers for $5 each...
you should have seen the employee's face when a $49.99 accessory rung up as $5

I got a cancellation email last night. **** was in stock when I ordered it. Just because you don't wanna honor the deal, silly AT&T LOL

Yep. All 3 of my fatboy orders were cancelled.
They had a $5 deal for the dt-900 ones too and that also got cancelled.
Luckily, I was able to pick up two dt-900s from my local att store

Warning: Samsung Repair Center Is A Mess

Now I have heard a lot of horror storied regarding Samsung's Customer Service / Warranty Repair center. So this may not come as a surprise to the people of this forum. Also, just a warning this is going to be a very lengthy post.
I bought my Galaxy S5 from AT&T and I had the phone for maybe all of two weeks before I noticed the glass on my home button beginning to chip away (I had not dropped it, scrapped it, etc.). So, I called Samsung customer service and they told me I needed to send it into their repair center in Plano, TX. While I wasn't happy about having to be without a phone, I figured it was worth it since they were going to fix this issue under warranty. So, I ship it off to the repair center and in 2 days it arrives (on 10/17/14). They began fixing the phone the following Monday and actually finished the repair the same day (10/20/14). For whatever reason their tests found both my screen defective and my motherboard defective and they replaced both including the button under warranty.
Problem found:
SENSORHUB FAILURE - LCD BLANK/SEG. MISSING/LINES
Solution:
REPLACED LCD - REPLACED PBA

At this point I'm pretty happy since I'm more-or-less going to have a completely new phone returned to me. The next day (10/21/14) my phone passed their quality check and the service tracker displayed "Closed - Unit Is Shipped".
*10/21/2014//11:33:23//0001773863//Telephone//ASC*
10/21/2014 10:33 AM-Beatriz Malagon: The unit is shipped.

10/21/2014 10:22 AM-Melisa Salinas: QC Pass.

This is where things begin to go slightly down hill. The following day (10/22/14), I began tracking the package on UPS to find out that UPS hasn't received the phone from Samsung yet. I call the repair center only to have them inform me that they don't have the phone, and it was picked up by UPS. The problem I found with this response was that the next day UPS still had claimed to not be in possession of my package (10/23/14). So I called Samsung again for them to tell me this time that they haven't given the phone to UPS yet and that it would be sent out before the end of that day and I would receive it the following Monday. So Friday rolls around (10/24/14) and UPS still claims to have not received a package. Because it was evident to me that Samsung didn't know whether or not they had my phone, I made a lost package claim to UPS just in case they did in fact receive my phone but had misplaced it. I then called Samsung AGAIN, I was told yet again that they hadn't sent out my phone. The guy then offered to send it out via. UPS overnight since it was supposed to be sent out on the 21st. He also offered to email the new tracking number ASAP. A couple hours roll around and I had not received any email from Samsung regarding a new UPS tracking number. I then proceed to call Samsung AGAIN, this time the woman that answered seemed surprised and confused that I had been offered overnight shipping for my phone because she stated that they weren't in possession of the phone anymore and that UPS received my package on the 21st. She the reassured me and told me that she made a claim to UPS for a lost/stolen package as the sender.
About an hour later I get a phone call from UPS to inform me that they have begun an investigation to locate my shipment and that they would be contacting Samsung as well. Now today (Sat, 10/25) I checked the UPS tracker to discover that UPS has successfully located my package and there was an Origin Scan in Mesquite, TX.

This told me that Samsung LIED to me on multiple occasions, telling me that they sent my phone out but still had possession of it the whole time. I have to say that I am very impressed and satisfied with UPS and how fast they took action and located my package. Samsung's Repair Center needs to get their **** together though. This is a warning for anyone thinking about sending their phone out to Samsung. If you bought your phone through a carrier, I recommend seeing if you can have your warranty issue addressed by them.

Review the LGv10 - tripod giveaway and $500 gift card

Anyone else get this e-mail from LG to review the v10 and win a $500.00 gift card and 360° Rotating Extendable Mini Tripod?
One of these types?

Yes I got one this afternoon, left a review and checked the box to be entered to win the $500 gift card. The rest was somewhat ambiguous and never did mention the tripod nor that I was going to receive one for fitting the criteria. Said being simple, first 500 reviews on the LG site qualify. Hoping that the link from my email which splintered off quickly into a less specific or indirect route to leaving the review doesn't mean I'm dense and missed a little something along the way. The tripod would be killer. I will not complain though as LG has done awesome by me so far with the battery/sdcard promo. Sure beats Samsung's offers to give me 30% off of accessories if I purchased through their site.

I got the email as well. I did write a review, got an email to confirm the review but when I click the link it just takes me to the my product page....not sure if it worked or not as it does not show any reviews posted. Oh well, I tried.

I had the same experience as a couple of you guys above. Posted the review and nothing else. I did notice right after posting that it said the review needed to be moderated and that would take a couple of days. It would be nice to get the tripod, but even so I legit love this phone.

My review is now up on the LG site
Like many of you, I wrote a review of the V10 so as to enter the sweepstakes and, more important, to get the tripod. Just noticed today that my review is up on the LG website.
However, I have not gotten any notification from LG about the tripod or the sweepstakes. My experience is that LG can be a bit slow in following up. But people have been able to get them to move faster by calling customer support. I don't plan on doing so myself.

Great media-centered smart phone
Bought the phone as soon as it came out in the US. A definite upgrade on my previous Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Things I like: -Dedicated DAC and amp to drive high-end headphones -Expandable memory, which is becoming a rarer option these days -Replaceable battery, also becoming harder to find -Second screen. It's much more useful than I thought it would be: e.g. being able to turn on the flashlight without having to go through a bunch of menus -Capable processor: there are faster ones. But I've not had any issues with stuttering
Sweepstakes entry received for review
Yes
✔ Yes,
I recommend this product.

lovely, thanks

Early last week out of the blue I received my tripod from LG. I was never able to confirm that my review was even on the LG site but true to form they (LG) generously came through on another promo item. Lots of appreciation for the way they treat their customers.
