guys..I need help from who all ordered from expansys

I had ordered some accessories from expansys but they seems to be pushing back on stock not available ... I am a bit annoyed now and want to cancel my order...can you please let me know how to cancel the order...I am able to see the order tracking page but cannot find any option to cancel the order
Click to expand...

you can either email them or call them up...
calling them is a better option as your request will be handled on the phone itself and you will receive an order cancellation email in a couple of hours... i guess they will just ask you for your order number.. it is just a matter of 4 to 5 minutes...
I am not sure how much time they will take to respond to your email though... if you are sendin dem an email make sure you mention all the details.. name, date of order, order number etc..

Njoy!!!!!!

have you installed HTC sync???
the setup is present in the phone's memory card itself...
just connect it as a disk drive copy the setup and install it if you haven't..

Same problem with Docomo SIM has been reported in xda. Here is the quote:

I found some strange problem, Mumbai DOCOMO sim is only working for GPRS , when i select manual network with Tata Docomo giving me error message that your SIM is not authorised to work with device on other hand GPRS is working on same SIM card on DHD. Vodafone is working perfectly ok.

the response I got from HTC on this issue

To clarify your issue, you stated that: You are not able to use Tata Docomo network in your HTC Desire HD.

In this regard we would like to intimate you that this is well known issue our technical team is working on the same, once we will get any update we will inform you.

You can also call our Call Center at: 1800 103 3566
if you have further questions.

I had also sent a mail to Docomo but no response & customer care says it should be problem with phone not Docomo :(

My room mate recently bought a DHD & yesterday night I put my Docomo SIM to check.
To my surprise it was working properly , was able to make calls. I did not test the GPRS / 3G connectivity.
I request DHD owners who have Docomo SIM to try again
 
Well so much for speedy delivery from Flipkart.com. Still haven't received my Desire HD from them. To be fair, they've been quite responsive on the phone but then again so have the courier they have chosen to ship the phone (ARAMEX).
But I don't understand if they realize that this courier is taking their own sweet time to deliver the phone from a distance that's just a 40 min drive away from me! The courier service Aramex promised (in several repeated phone calls) that they would 'Definitely, without fail, 100%' be delivering yesterday and made me stay at home all day waiting for it and finally failed to deliver cos NO ONE showed up!!! Going to call them again and see how it goes. Thinking if it doesn't come today then I'm going to cancel my order with Flipkart. Aramex has been holding the shipment in the local facility since the 30th Dec!!!! (that's nearly 5 days!)

Will keep you updated on how it goes.

EDIT: Just called Aramex again (it keeps going to the Mumbai branch - and the employees there seem to be cordial but beyond that quite ineffective) - A woman named Jyothi picked up, heard out the problem and just kept silent for some time and then disconnected the phone. On another call a woman named Bina picked up and said they would definitely give a call back by afternoon on the status, but seeing how they've been big on promises and poor of fulfilling it so far am skeptical. Will see how it goes....

You are right :D. Thanks Punk. I haven't installed HTC sync yet. btw, when I listen to audio through music apps, is there a way to increase/decrease the volume of music I am listening to, other than fiddling with the volume-button-hardware provided on phone :confused: ? Also, I wanted to have 'Wireless networks' shortcut on my scene - but can only manage to get 'Settings' shortcut. :o ?

OMG - 5 days :eek:. Visit & hammer them right away :mad:. And give bundles of fundas like you wanted to gift the DHD to your GF/wife/sister/ birthday/anniversary/newyear etc :D. Do call up few top folks of the shop - thats the way worker-level-guys of courier company will get their due music from their employers :mad:. In such circumstances, I usually irritate the people to core - may have considered troubling them in every 1 or 2 hours.

PS - Cancelling your DHD order would be one apparent way of venting out frustration but won't help you unless you have local retailers supplying DHD to you. Many other folks have received deliveries from Flipkaart so definitely this is a courier company issue.

Even unwarranted wait for DHD is worth :).
 
User profiles on DHD - Likewise oldie phones have 'User profiles' (for ex - Home, Office, Silent), does our DHD has any app which could help me to create user profiles. I would like to have following user profiles so that with one tap on the user profile, I can roll on :D.

1. Home - Ringtone volume (highest), vibration (Yes), Wifi network (enabled), GPS (disabled), Sync (ON), few apps update (Stocks/Weather - On).
2. Office - Ringtone volume (lowest), vibration (Yes), Wifi, GPS (Disabled).
3. Drive - Mobile network ON, GPS ON, ringtone & vibration - Off.

Help please ? :confused:

GPS - I go for trekking usually once in a month :). So, I would like to have an offline map of the mountains & a trail/route (in some digital format previous trekkers have provided to me) so that I don't get lost.

A) Is there an app which can help me in an efficient manner :confused:?- would certainly like to hear from you something on Google Maps.
B) Also, if possible, is it possible that any GPS app can also record my actual trail/route :confused:?

Thanks to all of you but outstanding queries (summarizing my previous queries):

1. User profiles on DHD - Likewise oldie phones have 'User profiles' (for ex - Home, Office, Silent), does our DHD has any app which could help me to create user profiles. I would like to have following user profiles so that with one tap on the user profile, I can roll on :D ?

2. Volume up/down - When I listen to audio through music apps, is there a way to increase/decrease the volume of music I am listening to, other than fiddling with the volume-button-hardware provided on phone :confused: ?

3. Wireless networks shortcut - Also, I wanted to have 'Wireless networks' shortcut on my scene - but can only manage to get 'Settings' shortcut. :o ?

4. Swype - Swype beta has to be installed as a non-market app (third-party app). I have installed it & using it nicely too. But while installing, Swype confirmed that whatever I type (passwords, credit cards etc.) all that information is accessible to Swype. Is this safe :(?

PS - Be careful while installing Swype, requires almost 2 different logins and 2 respective passwords.
 
Which apps you folks have installed on your DHD ? :o

I have only installed swype & want to install games :(. My friends asked me to play some games on my DHD & I didn't know even if there are any games on DHD. What to do , suggest some good games & from where to get them - also heard of battery eater - Angry Bird Seasons game - from where to download it - free/paid ? :o

This a reference to my earlier post on feedback on Flipkart.com and more on the courier service provider they've chosen - ARAMEX, located here>> http://androidforums.com/htc-desire...-htc-desire-hd-work-india-15.html#post2087308

Called 3 more times (despite being assured several times that they have prioritized it and will definitely call me back by noon - no call whatsoever. On my 3 calls I was told they don't know exactly what time it will come but it will 'DEFINITELY' come today (again). When I asked to speak to the manager on two calls at two different times I was told she was busy and was in a meeting so couldn't escalate. Have noted down their names and planning to send a mail to their 'bigwigs' about the shoddy response. Their response itself is quite polite but it looks like that's all it is - like they've been trained in smooth talking but being entirely ineffective.
Tried calling up FlipKart's number but it seems to be off the hook (has been engaged all day (tried atleast 15 times in the day.)

Will keep you posted....

That is nice effort - now it looks that you really want DHD in your hands asap :D. 99.9% all the time, courier companies know where is the shipment actually lying around? Do you or the courier company really know where is your shipment ? I am afraid - your answer is probably a NO :o.

Keep it up. Meanwhile, read a lot about HTC Sense, Android, Apps, Updates, Issues etc. It will really help you unless you are already an Android-dude.

PS - Imagine how much frustated you could had been if you would already had paid for it & cancellation of phone-order wasn't a remotest possibility. Would you had reacted in the same way :D ? Sorry for being philosphical but am not making fun.
 
Hey does anybody know the retail/street price of desire z, i know its selling for 25799 at flipkart but the price at retail shops should be lower right
 
hiteshg said:
u can download games on market app, goto top selling for best one
if u dont wish to pay for paid apps, download cracked ones by googling [<app name> .apk download]. to know how to install cracked apps, search for it on youtube.
ps: i dont hv any android device, but i hv installed many cracked apps on iOS, and these cause NO problems like virus etc..

guys lets not discuss about cracked apps and how to get it etc, moderators can ban our thread for this, its a violation of forum's rule

I hope everyone understand this ... I have seen some threads being banned here bcoz of these discussions

@AndroidFreud

I havent been following this thread for a while now and I am sad to see the same thing happen all over again

Hi Freud I am from Chennai too and I have been reading/researching/drooling over this phone for over a month now.

I too checked all the major retailers here in Chennai for the phone but nada.
I have a friend who has a contact who works at a local phone store and thru him i was getting info on the phone release date and other stuff..

I finally took the plunge and bought the phone off Flipkart just like you.
I bought it on the 26th, flipkart handed it over to the courier service on the 27th and the ETA was the 31st.

Today is the 4th and I still do not have the phone....

I have contacted/called/argued with Flip and they are doing "whatever" possible to get me the phone by the next day... they called me up to say that I would get it definitely by tomorrow but who knows...

the courier service they used was FirstFlight and these guys are one of the worst in Chennai (cause i have really had bad experiences with these guys in the past, they just fail at delivering).
I cant even contact these guys its like they dnt exist or something

I had no idea that Flip would choose FF for the delivery, heck I would have shelled out 2-3k more just to ship it via DHL/BlueDart if I had known earlier.

Anyways it seems we both are in the same boat, I hope to get it tomorrow but if not I will probably cancel the order or something

I hope you get your phone soon Freud.

~Noda

P.S
If I had seen your post earlier I would have asked you to ask Flip to use DHL/BlueDart instead, but I was too depressed to read the posts here...
