The real issue and I have ran into this before is paypal will not issue a refund if I can not prove it was delivered with signature confirmation.
USPS express tracks but they do not offer signature in China. UPS may but the cost is crazy. No DHL in the USA unless you are a business with an express account.
I once sent a package back to China and the package came back about 3 months later. When googling the address it almost appeared to be a bank address. Oh well the phone is way to big for me anyway. Will post up a video when I eventually take a sledge hammer to it.
Not going to buy a battery charger. I use my phone for sales and I need a way to charge in my car while I am driving
Thanks
Made a battery charger with some paper clips and an old power adapter. Battery charged well. Put in phone and the phone turned on. Plugged in a charger and phone shows as being linked and charging. Let phone sit for 30 minutes and the charge dropped to 7%.
Checked ohms with another plug I hacked up and there is no power getting to the battery plus side. Must be a broken diode in the charging system.
Going to try a factory reset but going to charge battery to 100% before I attempt. At this point since sending it back may not be an option probably going to take it apart and start testing circuits.
Keep ya posted.
Factory reset is very unlikely to fix this, but can't hurt to try I guess.
The innards of these things are very complicated. Everything is so miniaturized. Its quite beautiful really.
I would continue with PayPal. You're not saying you didn't receive the phone, you're saying the thing is DOA. A signature has nothing to do with that. Take video of the problem, show the package as recieved with tracking on DHL.
Made no difference and can also confirm no data.
No charge, no data.
This is even the new phone with 2G+16G
My issue with signature is when I send it back to China. Paypal requires signature confirmation when returning an item at least that is what I remember. Tracking may work but China is the black hole for returns. Either way this will take 6-8 weeks to get sorted. The seller does not need to respond until the end of the month. Then paypal will tell me to send it back and maybe get my money back.
