Nothing beats his price if it really works.

Ordering at Amazon

Guys I just want to ask you if anyone of you have ordered at Amazon. I placed an order last week and was expected to receive it today but up the mailman came but my order wasn't there.
I have a tracking number but whenever I try to input it won't register and says I should wait a couple of days for it to register in their side.
Is it really this long when ordering through amazon? It's already 8 days and still no good on tracking it.

I've never had problems with Amazon. All of my packages come either on time or earlier than promised... Try contacting amazon and see what they say.

Exactly. Most things on Amazon these days are sold through 3rd party merchants and their delivery times are often slower than Amazons own. A lot can depend on whether an item is in stock or not too.
I use Amazon a lot so i paid for a Prime membership. Those items that fall under Prime delivery are usually received next day here. The only thing that pisses me off is having to pay so much for digital copies of books.

Super cheap USB host cable.

The reviews look good, what do you guys think? Is this safe to use on my new Nexus?

I'm using that one now on my nexus 7. Works just fine. It took a few weeks to get it since it shipped from Hong Kong.

I bought the absolute cheapest one with a 90 degree on ebay. Less than $2 shipped to Canada and it works amazingly. No issues whatsoever with fitment or usage.
I actually clicked the link. That is the exact same cable I have.. I love it.

[Q] ANYONE out there where to get a new charging port cable?

anyone out there know a place or website where i can get a new charging port flex cable that will actually work with out problems.
my original one didnt charge right unless i bent it backwards a little
i bought 3 off ebay and had problems with each
1st one off ebay had no sound
2nd one had no service
3rd one didnt charge at all.
the original one was a REV 1.0 connector and so were the others, so if anyone knows where to get one that will work with no problems let me know
THANK YOU

Don't know about OP, but I'm in the US, having the same issue. Went through 2 orders of 2 cables each from tmart, and sound doesn't work on any of them. I get a click when sound should start playing & nothing else.
I don't care to deal with ebay, due to shady sellers, limited return policy & price gouging ($36 for a flex cable? really?)
In UK, easiest place is amazon

That looks like a USB cable. Pretty sure OP is referring to a flex cable, which is also what I need. Looks like this.

[Q] Nexus 7 - Replacement LCD Panel?

Any word on this in the last few months? Just checking to see if there has been any movement on this yet.
EBay is your friend
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yeah i was checking periodically apparently they have them now, but none with glass and the lcd and the digitizer for less that 200 it appears. Will keep looking.
Has anyone purchased a replacement LCD from ebay lately?
There is some at alibaba.com for a bit less

For the amount of money and hassle it was going to cost to get a replacement and fit it I just bought a new tablet and put the other one out of its misery with a rubber mallet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 "Smart Dock" wanted...

I have a vzw note 2 and am looking for a US company or website that is legit and has the samsung galaxy note 2 "smart dock" in stock. Anyone seen that lately? I called my local vzw retail store and they told me all they have are a couple of cases.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a bunch
I called up cdw as the 'availability' said to call. Rep told me it is on back order and has been for some time. They are anticipating getting some stock the 2nd week of March.
Is there a huge benefit from getting the samsung smart dock as opposed to getting something like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Case Compatible HDMI Charging Dock which is only about 40 bucks?
Yeah I would like to know also what the benefit of getting the official Samsung dock versus a generic. And does anyone know how future proof this is? like will it work with the Note 3, 4, etc?

The smart dock has 3 USB ports that'll let you turn the Note 2 into a desktop pc.
Yeah but if you get a blue tooth keyboard and mouse you wouldn't really need the extra ports would you?

true but the idea is to use wired things plus external usb hard drives etc.

Also you can use a hard drive or flash drive to view files or movies on there. Also comes with an extra wall charger($40 value). Plus if you dont want to have to buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse but have many wired keyboards and mice around why not? It'll be cheaper than having to purchase those along with the dock.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Be careful with some older wired mice though. Some people (including me) have noticed that connecting an old wired mouse turns the screen of the Note 2 off (a good thing) but drops the FPS on the monitor/TV significantly.
I am hoping to get my hands on one of the smart docks soon. I have found some on amazon, but the vendors there have the price so jacked up that I figure I am not going to buy from them. The way I see it is if Samsung can sell for $99, why pay $139-$160 for the exact same item. Doesn't make sense at all. Bestbuy is out of stock, and cdw as well, But the cheapest price I have seen is with cdw. Will keep my fingers crossed that one will make itself available within the next few weeks.
Signed,
*Eagerly waiting* - lol
When I called the very nice lady at CDW said they were getting some in at the end of February. That was a couple of weeks ago. I got one at Amazon for a little over $100 shipped instead.

Yes I spoke with a very nice lady as well. She told me that it should be around the 2nd week of March. I am hoping that to be the case as well. She also told me that I can go ahead and place my order now, and whenever the device is received, then it would be shipped, but I just don't want to lock into anything.
Do you remember the vendor you used when purchasing yours from amazon?
Shopandroid.com has them in stock. Got mine from there. Arrived in 3 days.
