So I just received my xperia z1 yesterday from clove and after spending the whole night setting it all up painstakingly, I found 2 small specks of dust under the display. Seems the QC isn't terribly good -- anyone else face any similar ssues with the first batch of phones?
I'm now waiting for clove to get back to me. Sigh.
No issues here... Is it under your screen protector?

glad you got a good unit! I'm contemplating what to do now, as clove days I can either return the device or I can get a "discount".
If you are unhappy with the dust then best to get another unit, it would anoy me knowing it was there

Where you sending it from? If it's defective which it is then surely they should pick up the return postage?

I got the device from Clove but I'm in Hong Kong. Just spoke to their customer rep and he says I either send it back and bear the shopping cost or receive a "discount" for the existing unit. Its my fault I suppose for not checking on returns earlier!!

That's not very good in my opinion. Did you pay import charges too? If you did and you send it back then they send you a replacement and they do not declare it as a repair then you will probably pay import charges again, is the discount enough that you can live with the phone?

no import charges (thank god). I'm thinking of just returning it for a full refund and wait for the device to be launched here. But I also want to use it, so I'm torn.
they have yet to revert on the discount that they are willing to offer citing that they are extremely busy with the other z1 orders! I'm sp frustrated as the phone is all set up and its now in the box, and I have to use my wp8 in the meantime.

If the discount was alright then I'd live with it until you can lay your hands on another then eBay the one you have, if you don't lose any money then you could buy a new one, at least then you can just use the one you have for now

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

I have ordered one chromecast an hour ago from amazon.com to Spain. It was impossible to ship it out of USA at the beginning, but they have changed it.
They charge a few dollars more due custom taxes, but that's it.

I placed an order on 10-4 with T-Mobile.com and it's on backorder. I noticed that a lot of places are sold out. Did Samsung not make enough because of unknown demand?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 4
Not sure if they made enough or not but there are some at various stores around where I live. Also T-mobile is supposedly backordered quite heavily due to the massive mistake they made in including the gear in their 30% off accessories coupon. Great promotion for the consumer but no one knows when all of those orders will be fulfilled.

Yup, they definitely didn't make enough.. I almost did not get my phone upon release cuz all the gear was gone. They said that they can't sell the phone without the gear?? But lucky enough they had one left, the one they were showing to all potential customers lol.

yeah still no gear here, major bummer wanted to see at least a demo unit
My Best Buy still has like 10-15 of them in stock in Various Colors. I got my manager to price match the T-Mobile price last week for 2 of them (one was for resale and one for me). I guess I got lucky on that. But they are to be found. Any if you want to play with one, any best buy with a Samsung store should have a live demo of a Gear there.
Here in Denver I had to drive all the way across town to get my jet black Gear. Most Best Buys are sold out.
I'm glad I purchased it. The features are awesome.

I received my LG phone back but it's locked and the disgruntled employee smashed the screen. I'm an note3 owner so I'm clueless to the LG Android platform. What are my best options here? I'm considering replacing the screen myself as I've done before on phones but to get into the phone and everything is not an option I assume.

Wow! What happened? Why did the screen get smashed? I would freaking say something.... you shouldn't have to fix it.
If need be, you can pop the back cover off with a guitar pick, or similar. Its just like a Samsung once you get inside. Remove the battery, remove the rear housing, remove the motherboard, vibrator, antennae, etc.
Yeah I've replaced screens before. Suggestions on cheapest place to order one? Local place wants 160 bucks to replace it lol

Untold? I fired the person for theft of fuel. Some cannot be trusted with a monitored fuel card I guess. Especially when the card is tied to a certain vehicle and they have to use a unique pin at the pump. My 160 out of pocket to repair a phone is chump change when it's a few hundred dollars of fuel

And there it is. Had this happen at my place of employment. Said person was ultimately fired for a 2$ charge. Giving employees G2s to use, nice boss... Lol
Maybe it"s a factor to some, but idc if it's 2 dollars or 2000, cant stand a thief. I can understand the not bothering part as well, if you ever recover the price it will have cost you even more. Some former employee's of mine thought being the boss makes you rich so you wont notice, both are usually idiotic ideas. Why they think i owe them but they owe me nothing is beyond me.

god, until that explanation, i sat here reading this thread as if you sent your phone back to LG to get something fixed, and then an LG employee was disgruntled, broke the screen, and sent it back to you like that.
i'm sure many others read the story the same way, dude..lol you have to be more descriptive..that's why people are all, "you shouldn't have to pay for this, make them pay for it!" as in, make LG pay for something they did.
but obviously now we understand the situation

I was thinking the same exact thing - except that it was a disgruntled Verizon employee who was the culprit.
Never put it past VZW to send out a warranty replacement with issues lol
Once I get this fixed I may use an upgrade from another line to use the g2 as a spare for myself. Are they locked bootloader like my note 3?
