I had spent two years trying to find and buy one of these G800M models to use in the US only to have the radios die on me and not let data/wifi/gps/bluetooth to work. Im trying to pick up another one or even a motherboard to swap into it. I am dail driving an s4 mini and have been for roughly 5 years now and need more devices to keep me from getting bored.
If anyone knows where to buy them used online besides the mercadolibre site I would gladly appreciate it.

Hi there,
Well I have had my wizard for a while now and the screen has managed to aqiure some scratches over the years and I found out that on ebay you can get a new screen for like £8 with tools and instructions, so this got me thinking, as I really like this phone even though it is old and outdated it still manages to keep up in some areas and thanks to you guys it keeps getting new software and os's so I thought well instead of spending £400 on a new phone why not spend like £50 on a new screen and then possibly fix the biggest problem i have with this phone, the RAM.... its really not enough and i was wondering if it was possible to get a new upgraded RAM chip and just get someone experienced in soldering and stuff to take out the old one and put in a new one. Now I know this really sounds far fetched and even if it is possible it may end up way to expensive, and alot easier to get a new phone but if anyone has any ideas if it is possible id love to know.
PS sorry if this is a seriously dumb question but I like my massive outdated smart phone I just wish it had more ram.
Thanks
Well to all those interested, i have found out that it is possible to get it to 128 MB but it will cost around £70 and i can get a secondhand HTC TYTN II for £100 so I think ill go for that instead.
That's cool
Is it available freely or did you have to do a lot of digging?
And any ideas how to install the new memory?
Well from what i found out in another thread on this site is that a company called retronix will take your phone in and change the ram chips for you. Here is the thread :

I have sent them an email asking about it but have not recieved a reply.
I hope this will be helpfull for you, I have decided against it as you can buy a second hand tytn II for almost the same price and also as I will start uni in september I will be getting a contract that comes with the Touch Pro 2 cant wait it looks like an awsome phone.
Hi I currently own a g1 but since I can't afford much these days I wasn't able to pay the bills. I've been using this phone for about a year and the paint is ripping off and it just doesn't look like anyone would want to buy it..
My question is what would be the best way to sell it?
I never had any problems at all with my phone, it's the best phone I have ever owned. I was thinking about just buying housing parts for my phone to replace the scratches.
I found this on Ebay and was wondering can i just replace these parts and sell my phone for around 200 something dollars??? http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=g1+housing&_sacat=See-All-Categories
please help because I have no cellphone right now and I really need one soon.
Thank you
Hi there,
First post so first up let me just say hey been lurking on here for awhile but never needed to post before! I seem to have had the worst luck ever, purchased two samsung phones first off a galaxy s2 off ebay which I was really looking forward to using and then an s8000 from cex which I wasn't looking forward to using so much. I've spent a lot of time unlocking and sim unlocking them only to find out they are both IMEI blocked, I've spent a lot of money on them and even when i've taken them into the operators they have been no help even going so far as suggesting I have stolen both of them. I don't really want to give up on either phone but spending £100 on a z3x box just for two phones is a bit much, so I wanted to know if there's anyone in london with a z3x box who would be willing to help me. I understand that it probably looks a bit dodgy asking on a new account like this but I can only assure you of my sincerity. I'll understand if no one is willing to help but if anyone is could they please get in touch with me.
Thanks for your time.
You need to get your money back from ebay and cex, shouldn't be a problem, always get imei no before buying, if they don't provide it, they are hiding something

I have the chance to pick up a Z3-box for a good price. I do need to get my IMEI repaired and I think it would be fun to play with the Z3-box but I have never used one. Does anybody have an opinion on them? The support forum for the product seems lackluster at times.
