I've seen people mention the website http://www.tvc-mall.com/ a few times, pointing people there for parts, accessories, cables, etc..
Has anybody actually ordered from them, and received their products in good condition, and correct to what they thought they were ordering?
I realize that they are overseas, and that shipping can cost more, but the products are very inexpensive to begin with.
Or, would I be better to pay 10x the price and order from US Vendors (that get their products from overseas also).
Looking for real purchasing experiences please..
Thank you,
I have had two sales transactions. I have purchased a new front gorilla glass, three car chargers, two pocket cases, three A/V cables. I used PayPal. The items arrived within five days of my order.
I really like the company for gold service and great prices.
Thank you for the response. Sounds like you would order from them again if you had a chance, or need?
I was just very concerned about the low prices, and the location from which it is coming from, but using Paypal would help me be a bit more comfortable.
Has anyone had any experience with replacing a screen digitizer of the galaxy tab?
I have a two huge scratches in the glass. I'm not sure when I replace the glass it is going to get worse. Then I don't have any scratches anymore but something else is wrong. Like the screen not fitting or the quality is worse or something like that....

Yes, I love the prices and the fast, great service. The shipping costs are the bad thing, but TVC-Mall doesnt control that.
What are you ordering? I need a few things - maybe we could combine to save on the shipping - it's $30 to the US.
I replaced my front glass. It's pretty easy if you are familiar with replacing stuff in ipods and phones. Go see a video first. Google "front glass replacement galaxy tab" and see the tab tear-down video on youtube.
Ranger, I'm still looking around the site, but I am looking at a car mount, stylus, and some accessories for my wifes Epic 4G.
Combining an order sounds like a way to save on shipping.

Ok, whereabouts are you? We have to think about the second shipping cost. I'm in Southern California.

I'm in Austin, Texas. Not that far to drive it out to my front door.. <grin>
Road trip!
I cracked the screen, the reason I posted this is to see if anyone wants some of the stuff I have for it for free, I'd rather give it away to someone that might use it rather than throwing it away, it's not much stuff, 3 silicone covers, a folio type cover that doubles as a stand, the data cable, and even the broken unit, someone might be able to use it for parts, pm if you want the stuff

Is only the screen damaged? I have a previously donated one that had an intact screen but a damaged mobo.
I would use it to play around with the ICS beta if I had a 2nd, but at this point I dont think I'd have much to contribute on the S7 (besides documentation)
I would likely use it to update my disassembly guide to include taking apart the LCD, i didnt want to risk further damage to my good lcd as I only had one.

Hello, I just bought a dell streak 7 and would really like the case and other stuff, I can pay for shipping. Im new here so could you just reply in the form, Im not sure if their is some sort of message thing. Thanks!
There are private messages, just look at the top right underneath the "Welcome, spencermott" for "private messages" or just click on the one I just put in my reply then.
Please help.. A couple weeks ago I was using my s-pen, just like normal, and suddenly the ass-end of it just SHEARED OFF.
I attempted to repair it by shoving a piece of a toothpick into the part of the ass-end that broke off, and the part that remained inside my phone. This did not work well as, in my attempts to do this, the toothpick snapped in two and now I just have the parts with toothpick pieces stuck in them.
I clipped off the excess toothpick and have been using my stubby stylus as such since, flicking it to insert it into the phone and smacking the bottom of it against my hand as if I were packing a pack of cigarettes in order to remove it.
Point being: I cannot continue to use and abuse my phone in such a manner, even if I do have an OtterBox on the damn thing. I need to repair/replace my stylus, this is obvious, but I don't feel like paying $30 for a brand-new stylus when the only thing wrong with it is the ass-end. Does anybody know of anywhere I can purchase [a] new ass-end(s) so that i can replace just that part of the stylus?

You can just post here. Lol.
If you check on eBay, you can score a new genuine OEM S Pen for $15.
I ordered one from the Samsung website.. Using a 50% off coupon it was only 14.99....

I paid $350 for this phone. The stylus broke for no reason whatsoever after four months.
I WILL BE CHEAP IF I WANT TO
Well in that case, have you tried contacting Samsung for a warranty replacement?
No idea how that works. I lost mine soi that's why I had to replace it.
BTW... the bashing like cigarette case removal method sounds bad. I'd just keep it in a pocket for now!
No sense in breaking the phone over a relatively inexpensive replaceable accessory...

I got one under warranty from aT&T just call them and tell them it quit working. See if that works first.
Free + overnight shipping and I got $25 off my bill.
Honestly your picture does not look like it broke on its own but I'll take your word for it

Well, like I said, I attempted to repair it with a toothpick first. when that didn't work, I shaved some of the plastic off of the exposed broken pieces with a knife to make it flush so that I might Gorilla-Glue it.
You're going round robins barn for no reason. If it broke legitimately (which I don't see how) then you can easily get it replaced under warranty. Why you would even attempt a repair is beyond me, unless you broke it yourself and are feeling guilty.

Yup. +1 if it was defective workmanship my first instinct would be to call aT&t and get a replacement or get really pissed.

I honestly don't understand how or why it broke either. There was no reason for it to have broken. My brother got his Note II at the exact same time as I did, and his is still going strong.

Sheared off, whilst in your hands, using it? Or left on the table/etc, came back and found it sheared off? Or sheared off, whilst you were inserting it back into the S-pen slot?
You weren't playing fruit ninja, were you?
Perhaps, your brother snapped his and simply swapped it with yours?
Because, I'm holding my S-pen right here, and the only way I can see it having broken as your photo depicts, is for it to have been snapped by hand.
Defective workmanship, would more likely result in it not being glued/affixed/assembled properly and it separating from each other, but not snapping/shearing.
If it truly was as you state it, then see if you can get a replacement under warranty. Otherwise purchase another one from ebay/etc or glue it back together and use it ghetto style.

Sounds and looks like S-Pen Ninja.
Again, that is just the two pieces. I have shaved off the extra plastic with a knife. That is not what it looked like when it broke. I pulled the s-pen out and when I held it like a pencil like you are supposed to, with the ass-end resting on the crook between my thumb and forefinger, it just sheared off.

sheared
past tense of shear (Verb)
Verb
Cut the wool off (a sheep or other animal).
Cut off (something such as hair, wool, or grass) with scissors or shears.
So you cut it off? I'm just giving you a hard time. I would def call into the carrier or Samsung. If you came to my store, I could probably get you one at no charge.
Anyone who would just cut up their s-pen is insane. But yeah, I've been attempting to get this resolved for a couple days now. Samsung won't put me on with an actual human, so I think I'm going to contact AT&T about it.

Under regular usage, my charging flap broke off. I went to T-Mobile and they said I would have to pay $175 to fix it! Anyone have an idea of how I can get it fixed, or will I just not be waterproof anymore
Sent from my C6916 using xda app-developers app
Did you lose the flap? Or do you still have it? If you have it, did you just rip it out of the hole? Or did the piece that goes between the flap and the whole break? I've caught mine and pulled it out like 3 or 4 times, but I've always been able to get it back in with some effort.

I've seen others have this issue and say that calling Sony got them to send them a free replacement, only for the Z1s (not the Z1) though...

tough luck there mate,
TBH i wouldn't call that a charging port either that would be the micro usb port,
ive used it all but 4 times myself when i first rooted my phone,
u use a maglock charger or use the dock, as the usb port isnt made for everyday use
thats why they put the charging dock in the box when you buy it
it also charges faster through the dock/maglock than via the usb
id just push the port back in and get a maglock charger or use your dock
Not everyone got a free dock with their phone.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yup. I didn't get a dock with my Z1.
My flap also broke off. I bought the replacement for ~10$. Plastic part is still inside though. Since my glass on the back broke off I called service that is authorised by Sony (so I won't lose warranty for repair) and they put a reasonable price for back glass replacement. 250PLN. It's not crazy high, but isn't a 6pack. I asked how much will cost the replacing of the flap if I provide the replacement part along with the regular cost of the flap replacement and the woman on the phone said that that'll be free.
Ask about the price if you provide a replacement.

this can help you, some1 here bought it and even showed that they are waterproof too
I guess I'm getting a dock now. I have tmobile as well and if they charge for this kind of stuff, I'd rather just pay the $10 and get a dock.
I broke my flap as well..feel asleep on the phone while it was charging. Got a replacement from witrigs website.
However, a small piece of plastic was left inside and I used a pin to take it out..wasn't as easy as I thought...the hole is really small...and my pin wasn't as thin as I'd like.
Putting the replacement was easy..used the same pin to just push it in lol

How long did it take you to receive it?
My flap just broke off tonight, I plan to call Sony in the morning to order a replacement.. Just trying to see how long of a wait I'm looking at. My phone looks ugly on that side now, ugh.
I had a piece stuck in there just like you, had my wife get it out with a sewing pin (thanks to your advice).
Lesson learned, once Sony confirms they're sending me a replacement flap I plan to order the official Sony charging doc for the Z1 (everyone I've heard talking about it says it does indeed fit the Z1s) from their site.

Bought the T-Mobile S6 yesterday and went looking for the keyboard case. The store did not have it.
I noticed all the best buy stores in my area did not have it. Amamzon shows 1-3 months shipping.
Yes I can order online, but I don't see the case available in the shop Samsung app at all.
Just made me think, with all the bad reviews, maybe they are going to release an updated version.
Could just be wishful thinking..lol.

Ahh well... Wishful thinking..?
I haven't got mine yet, I held off at first because of the long shipping delays. But the other day it was about $50 usd off on Amazon and "only" 2 weeks to ship so it's on the way now. Design looks fine to me, I think I understand the limitations enough going in but I shall find out soon.
I did just receive my Keyboard case from Samsung.US. It was on back-order for 4 weeks.
I am using this now for 1 week and it sticks really well. No issue at all. I did not have to clean the back of my tablet or anything.
I also removed it several times and it did stick really well. Also after I but it back.
I have no issue at all and am very happy with it.
Maybe they did change something?
So the Amazon delivery estimate has been saying a few months, but it was at my door within a week of ordering, so I would recommend to go ahead and place the order.
As for the case sticking, I've had no problems either. The instructions also clearly state the back needs to be stuck on and left for an hour to adhere properly, so keep that in mind. Also I would clean the surface of tablet just incase before applying unless Its brand new like when I applied mine...
I wish there was a redesign. The body case seems to un-stick randomly and it provides not protection around the sides nor does it keep the screen's edges protected with a "lip".
Otherwise, if someone would make a case that would cover at least 3 sides of the tablet and leave just enough of the side with the keyboard pin connector exposed to attach the keyboard, that would be great. Either that or that side of the tablet is a flap that can be opened to attach the keyboard.
I purchased a $6 silicon case for every day use since I mostly just use the Tab S6 at home sitting in my recliner. But, I wanted the keyboard for those times that I didn't want to swipe everything.
However, the back piece of the keyboard case just doesn't impress me since it's not an easy auto-on/auto-off in any respect. So, I've been considering getting another silicon case that I can attach the keyboard case back cover to, then cut the silicon case just enough to allow the keyboard to attach.
So, what do you guys think? Will the keyboard case back cover's stickyness adhere to silicone better than the back of the tablet?

Samsung will never have the integrity to do a redesign for a product accessory, especially a device in their tablet lineup that they don't give two ****s about.
Hello ,
I have the book cover Galaxy Tab S6 by Samsung , it's perfect , finally ! I don't buy cover Samsung for my Tab S4 , Spen outside , it's a big problem ! I buy on Amazon a simple cover to have Spen inside , it's better to go outside with my Tab S4.
