UPS - Professional Delivery at it's best. - Nexus 7 General

Here is a YouTube video of a Nexus7 being delivered. I'm guessing his screen will have the lifting problem...

Unless the package has to be signed, I've seen this before. It's unfortunate, but I suppose in their defense, they've got no idea what's inside. :/
Still messed up bro, is the tablet okay? Nice video set up tho, are you using the Logitech system?

Yes, this is typical UPS. They remind me of the Samsonite commercial with the gorilla beating on the suitcase. I'm sure that Nexus 7 got thrown a lot more than once through its journey though UPS.

That's not a defence. They don't know what's inside, so they shouldn't be throwing anything. The guy should be heading down to the local depot, demanding to speak to the manager, and not leaving without a hefty goodwill and apology gesture.

Yep, I'd be contacting them immediately and show them the video. Ignorance is no excuse. No delivery company should be throwing packages. That kind of defense defies common sense, and is NOT UPS policy by any means.

Totally missed the word "his" in your OP.

The scary part is FedEx is even worse

Wow I would be flipping livid if that was my tab, thank god I have everything delivered to my office, the UPS guy has to come up the elevator and into my office and hand deliver it, also everything delivered to a business has to be signed for. But damn man that sux lucky ur tab is ok.

It could have been worse....

I found mine inside the screen door and propped on the step just outside the front door. I think they are required to get it to the front door and as the screen door on the front of my house is 3 to 2 feet from the main door he's already there at that point. Didn't change my lifted screen but I don't think bring thrown to the floor is a factor, at least in my case.

Wow who pissed that driver off. I've never seen that happen with my packages delivered. Most of the time I've seen them deliver they'll either put right in front of my door or even sometimes behind the table on our patio. Now fed ex on the other hand they're definitely worse. Our normal driver at my work has just dropped stuff next to our office door if we don't get the back receiving door in like a minute.

Wow...my ups Guy usually hides everything under the doormat, so I know they're not just throwing things around.

My ups guy was nice enough to open my screen door and set it inside of my house on the carpet. That's what I call service

My UPS guy is generally nice too.
However, as others have pointed out, the scary part is the one that we DON'T see, namely how many times our packages are thrown around and banged against who-knows-what during the journey from the shipper to us. Who has ever received a perfectly pristine box that looked like it was actually carefully handled?

Good thing my TNT (UK) Delivered Nexus 7 was given to me in hand

Damn time to setup the front door cam. I need to see UPS's bull**** first hand.

Who else hates shopping with women?

Any one else hate shopping with women? What bugs me the most is they have to try on ever little thing they like! And half of the time they don't buy it! I'm actually at the mall right now with my sisters and theyve been in the sane store for like 2 hours! I'm about to bang my head on the floor till my ears bleed

i like taking time for shopping myself , so i dont usually notice it ... if its that bad , the more annoying u are the more shell be willing to go home earlier
I love shopping with women. Lol seriously though, when a woman goes clothes shopping, we get more of a rush like when you get a new gadget you love or watch the game or the like. It's fun finding pretty stuff to show off in. Lol
Yay! Go me. I got the XDA app. lol
I hate shopping with women as much as women hate going with me to shop for camera equipment.

I used to go to the mall with my mother when I was little. Oh gawd. We went in circles, she tried EVERYTHING on.. Used to drag me nuts. Luckily now, I am old enough to walk around by myself.
EDIT: Not to mention she pretty much doesn't buy anything. So we come back tomorrow and she tries on MORE stuff on and buys the thing she didn't yesterday. Yes, I know didn't make sense

not buying stuff on the day does make sense - means she didn't waste money on clothes she wouldnt wear, and got rid of the impulse buy, and only got stuff she liked.
I like shopping - its fun. I get to piss around a lot with my fianceé whilst she shops so its no big problem! Besides, it also has brownie points....

Sometimes I hate shopping with my wife because we spent the whole day to look for her shoes we went several malls then at the end she bought nothing because she did not like the designs. I think it is a wasting of time.
I'm surprised anyone in this nerd-haven had ever talked to a woman before...
Last time i went i saw my Geography teacher buying a push up LOL
Oh gosh i dont even go in the mall anymore it takes so long, especially if theres a sale going on.
I took my girlfriend Christmas shopping last year and told her she could get what she wanted(me paying for it) and well my wallet was almost empty when we left 2 hours later, but it paid off in the long run.

I actually don't really mind shopping with my wife. When it comes to clothes, she's very selective when it comes to trying things on.
She only goes berserk when it comes to shoes. But then every shoe shop has some place for me to sit. So, I use the opportunity to fiddle around with my smartphone.

Oh my, im being haunted

Ok so I need to just talk about this but recently at my house (which I've been living in for about 4 years) some scary stuff has been going on now this isn't in order but im scared. Like i dont mean to be a ***** about iit but im truely sincerely scared, now a couple of minutes ago I was in my kitchen heating up some food when Outta no where I heard my name in my ear and some other words which I couldn't make out. Thinking it was my mother whose room is right next to the kitchen I went and checked and she was asleep. Then. I went back to the food and iI felt what was like something big standing behind me it was a horrible feeling. Now for the past couple if days I've been hearing footsteps and I've been seeing shadows, recentlyy I saw a head move by the light reflected by my window and nothing was outside. Also about a week ago I was putting my dog in the house when I saw a red air compressor move right in front of my eyes. It was about 10 at night so I couldn't be anybody. Plus it moved so cleanly, so unhumanly. Ill keep this updated but man I just have to share this.
Edit*: I remember the first experience I had with it. I was getting ready to go out to eat so I picked up an iron walked around the house with it and ironed a **** real quick with it unplugged. Right before I left I did a lap with it around the house and made sure the cord wasn't tangled and put it next to my moms tv which is on a stand about 3feet tall, so I left and came back no more then 30 minutes after to find the iron on the carpet while plugged in, leaving a deep burn on it. Call me crazy but I made sure twice it wasn't plugged it. Heck I never went close to the power outlet.

You got one of the bad ones. They won't listen to you if you ask em to leave. Won't stop. Not polite. The shadow you say you see is just like the demons from Ghost. Pure evil. Is someone in your house now that wasn't there before, ie a drug shooting uncle, molesting step dad, someone brought that evil with them and it doesn't like you. Might want to go to a shady part of town and tell one of those psychics you saw and passed off as a fake *****. Don't tell her the whole story, but tell her you got a problem. See if she can tell what it is or has to social engineer it out of you.

That's what my friend had to do. Her and her kids slept on an air mattress in the living room for about two years. Finally a good psychic told her to divorce her husband and move. Hasn't had a problem since. Watch out who you let over to your house. You are a good person. That's why this demon doesn't like you. Mostly they just talk to you in your ear, growl at you, scare teh **** out of you on purpose. Nothing nice about em period. It's when they start moving things that it's getting out of control. They or you have to go somehow.
There are good ghosts, my mom lives with two of em. They watch over her. Stay up in the attic. The vet clinic I work at has one. Only two of us notice it. It just watches everyone and makes sure everybody is doing good to the animals. I actually talked to it one day. Got tired of it watching me and wanted to know what it's deal was. We're cool now.
From now on, don't let crazy people in your house. That is your castle, your domain, your place of solace. Don't let it corrupted.

They're really fun when you can get em to move without anyone touching it. Another time, talked to Brian, found out later that a kid named Brian was killed in the apartments thta I lived in.
It's not scary at all. Learned it when I was young. Me and my uncle would go (lack a better word) hunting for spirits. After spending some time with it. Do a game with where we wrote down what we saw and felt. Telling about what vibes we got from the spirit. If we saw it in clothes, what clothes are they in. Very telling of what kind of spirit you have. Or we would go out after doing some meth. (Keep in mind nobody halucinates the same thing.) We would go out in the middle of the night and "be one" with what was around us. Always seeing the same thing, hearing the same sounds. Drugs actually clutter your mind, but makes you more open to what is around. You see more, but you get confused. It's a learned trait to filter it and see what's really there.

Never leave anything of value in sight of an oppertunistic thief, who happens to take a glance inside your motor, as he moseys down the street.
In your case this does not seem to have worked.
Instead leave the back seat a total tip of useless crap. Old newspapers, empty candy wrappers and soft drink cans. He will think you are an utter slob, therefore having nothing of worth, and instead move on down to the nice neat and tidy car in front.

I've been there and it sucks. I had my window busted out and they stole my GPS. Luckily a neighbor heard them bust the window and turned the light on. That scared them off and kept them from taking my backpack which had my laptop and school stuff. I would have been screwed big time cause I had a presentation to do that day at school and if they would have taken the laptop I would have tracked those idiots down myself.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazes. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

Hmmm, something funny. OK. I'm sitting outside at 5am, and the sun is blazing down already, while I am trying to send this message out over a horrible 50kb WiFi connection here at FOB Salerno Afghanistan. I will never complain about high speed internet access again! LoL.
Fingers crossed!

Didn't mean to thank you, but if I'm not mistaken, you just said that the iPhone is better then Android.

These are pretty good, keep 'em coming. I can tell you that the ones that are simply asking for it probably won't win. Be a little bit creative folks . And to the gentleman above; Android > iPhone is what you meant. I'm sure it was a simple error.
Its was actually pretty funny joke...
So an Android, a Blackberry, an iPhone, and a Windows Phone walk into a bar. Only one gets a Beer.
.... Okay I lied.
Only Androids can walk so none of the others were there at all.
Already got UAG case, but might as well post a funny one just heard the other day. ***Warning*** its R-rated and some might find it offensive, but we are all adults and should have some sense of humor
So this guy walks down the beach and sees a beautiful girl lying down on the sand without arms and legs, crying. He approaches her and asks why is she crying? She replies "I'm very sad because I never been effed before". The guy looks at her, carefully picks her up in his arms, and... throws her right into the water saying "Now you are really effed".

I don't know...all the iPhones that disappear from the bars, I think an iPhone could be there.

[Q] HTC One unibody twisting

I have an HTC One and I laid it face down on my desk at work and the phone rocks like a table with uneven legs. What concerns me is I can easily twist the phone back flat with very little pressure (almost no pressure at all). The phone seems to have very little structural rigidity since it is glued together instead of being screwed together. Has anyone else noticed the unibody twisting?
I'm unable to repeat what you're saying (not that I have a clue why you're trying to do it in the first place). The build quality on this phone feels waaaay too solid for me to warp it even slightly.
I didn't intend to bend the phone, I noticed it was twisted when I laid it down. I was curious if anyone else noticed the the phone not being flat when laid face down.

Perhaps it came to you that way? Mine is certainly flat.
Thanks for the heads up I'll remember not to twist and bend and rock my phone while its on the table.

It is as if the rigidity is gone on my phone. I will go by ATT tomorrow and see what they say about the twisting.

I know it sounds odd that the phone is twisting, but it is twisting.
I went to ATT today and the rep acknowledge the unibody is flexing and its not normal. His advice was to wait and see if the flexing worsened, if it does then send it in for repair under warranty... because right now he thinks HTC would claim it is in tolerance and return it unrepaired.

If your within the return period you have the right to swap it out for another if you are not satisfied.. HTC shouldn't even get involved. Speak with the supervisor if they give you issues

I have returned one HTC one already for cosmetic defects (speaks grills and display glued in crooked), because of this they say this defect has to be sent off for repair. They say they cannot exchange it again again in house.

Have you tried another store?

I decided to call the ATT tech line... The tech was sympathetic to my problem and we had a conference call with a HTC rep. After explaining my issue with the phone he recommend that ATT swap it for me as the described defect was not repairable. The HTC rep also said the phone should not flex at all. The ATT tech then setup an in store exchange for me...I made the exchange and all is good.

So, is the phone "Twisted" or is it "Twisting" lol ... I can understand if you have a faulty phone and it left the factory twisted but the way you are wording things suggest it started off straight and each day you wake up it's a little more twisted lol
... I'd just take it back to the shop you bought it from and get it swapped if it's defective.
me too
I found this thread after searching for ‘htc one twisted’ in google.
I also have this problem. Having owned the phone for just over 2 weeks I took it out of its official HTC flip case to dust it off and for some strange reason laid it face down on my desk and noticed that it did not lie flat! Closer examination reveals that the whole device is in fact twisted along its long axis. Now that I have noticed it, I see it all the time.
One difference however to the other story here is they mine is quite rigid and would not straighten...proof I suppose that I have not mistreated it.
I have had other issues which resulted in me sending it back such as a scratch out of the box, ill fitting sim tray, poorly finished edges and just general poor workmanship. I worked in a lab for many years making instruments and if I made something like this, even without the twist, I would have honestly thrown it out and started over.
I have phoned HTC and they have so far been very helpful and have promised to replace the case of the phone for me. It was just collected today so Ill keep you all posted.
Think uri geller has been at ur phone dude

UPDATE:
Despite being very helpful on the phone, HTC has returned my device with a letter stating that "we were unable to replicate the fault" despite me sending pages of photographs showing the problem. Because of this stunning incompetence I have written letters of complaints to both HTC and Phones4u. Under the sale of goods act I have the right to a device "of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose". I am not happy at all, in fact I am furious with HTC keeping the phone for a week, essentially acusing me of having an overactive imagination and returning the phone with further damage! I plan to take this as far as it needs to go until I am satisfied.
You can see details of my problems here by the way: http://kelvinvine.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/my-stunningly-twisted-htc-one/
I read your blog post and was pretty sympathetic of your situation until that last line... Buy an iPhone instead?! Are you nuts?! Heathen!
But seriously, I remember that after I had my phone for about a week i noticed the exact same thing you're talking about. It was a bit teeaned) tweaked, and I could twist it straight. But then I got distracted by how amazing my phone was and completely forgot about it just now. I can understand how the scratches that it came with are pretty unacceptable, but completely discrediting an amazing phone because of a few millimeters of twist? That's like buying an amazing sports car that's fast, comfortable, gorgeous and in every way perfect, but then saying it's a crap car because there is a cosmetic defect that you wouldn't even notice in day to day use and that doesn't impact the user experience at all. It's just silly.
Every day I love my HTC One more and more. It's an absolutely revolutionary phone and I would recommend it to anyone. If you're a nit-picky person who's going to be obsessed with microscopic imperfections, that's fine and you have every right to be that way, but don't mislead people onto thinking that the average person wouldn't be ecstatically satisfied with the HTC One

You really should give people the benefit of the doubt before resorting to name calling. If you read my blog post before that one you will only see praise for the HTC One. Of course its a great phone other than the build quality and I would buy another if the post-sale treatment wasn't so distasteful. My post was ONLY ever about the disappointing build quality and the stupendously incompetent HTC repair staff. This is fact backed up by photographic evidence, not my opinion...and not name calling....which is unfortunately what pervades the internet during technology discussions.
Just to clarify, I am certain the average person will be completely happy with the HTC One. However I expect a premium product when I pay a premium price. Some may call me nit picky while others will say I am a connoisseur. Think fine wine. Notwithstanding, This doesn't mean I should not let the world know about the potential for problems so other nit picky people like myself, whom I know quite a few of, can steer clear does it?
And I'm not really going to buy an iPhone...oh god...its a figure of speech...but if I did....you shouldn't have a problem with that either....as I know loads of average, and even above average people with iPhones.

I consider your post pretty fair and your point more or less valid, but... conoisseur? Really? For being able to distinguish between a straight line and a not so straight line? In a mass produced gadget?
I fail to see the parallel between this and someone of discerning and educated taste.
Even if it was just an analogy, the simple fact that you chose to use that word in your analogy just stinks of an unsubstantiated sense of superiority. I don't know you and I may be wrong but this is what you come across as.
Sorry for going off topic and picking on people in this thread but i just had to speak my mind.
