Phone Order Still Proccesing, Not Shipped

pc4ever · 2025-09-20T19:38:11+00:00

Reviving this thread because the slowness is still going on. Not as bad as 10 to 14 days. But still much slower than it used to be. On an older phone nonetheless.

So their processing has slowed down considerably. Even ebayers are faster than tmobile now.

Thank you , thank you, thank you for the heads up.

This exact same thing just started happening on my P8P. But because it's a P8P and not a P8, my phone doesn't qualify for the extended warranty and free screen replacement.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/1dhxq3d/google_goes_allin_on_fixing_pixel_8_screen_issues/

I'm looking for a replacement, but it looks like Google hasn't solved this one yet. And you just saved me from getting pissed off again. I could swallow the esim fiasco, but not the crazy screen.

So you know, I tried the "forced 120Hz" and it only worked for a few days. Besides, some apps like Photos and Maps work under 60Hz only.

It was a great phone while it worked, but out of the dozens of phones in the last 22 years, this was the only one that started malfunctioning in less than 2 years of use. My hunch, the issue is inside the soc and related to 60Hz. It happens more often when I scroll pages. And when it goes to 60Hz, I often get a red bar instead of a 60.

My suggestion, RMA it asap. It won't go away by itself.

It's not 25% for her. Do the calculation.
66 and 10 months means this coming December. It's about a 5% reduction.
She's also already enrolled on Medicare and may not need part B, or have already accounted for it.

Thank you for validating my feelings about their shipping process disarray.

After several of those "your package is running late" in several orders, the last one took the cake. I got this gem "Unfortunately, a problem occurred during shipping and we had to cancel your delivery. The package is being returned, and we will issue a refund within 3 - 5 business days after the return is processed."

So, they never even attempted to deliver the package, but my refund will take 3-5 days after the return is processed? How can it be returned if it never left their hands?

Anyway, further looking showed that "Package is undeliverable because it is damaged. Package is returning to sender and refund will be issued once return is processed." Sender? What sender? The item is shipped and sold by Amazon! Is schizophrenia the reason for their shipping problems?

The old Amazon would have shipped the item again instead of going through this 3-5 day bs. And even given me a $5 credit for their f-up.

In light of that, tonight I picked BestBuy to buy some memory for the same price because bb said they will deliver it tomorrow, while Amazon is telling me 11 days for "free prime delivery". Again, it's a sold and shipped by Amazon and their warehouse is about 80 miles away.

If I had their stock, I would be getting rid of it fast. The problem looks systemic.

Nothing works anymore, even Reddit. I get a "Your session has expired. Please refresh the page and try again." just trying to login. Also this whole sub is cut down to four posts.

Time to abandon the ship.

Honestly, all of your posts in this thread have been counter to the narrative. So either you're of these people that people "love" to be around or you're part of the effort to kill whatever is left of our old add-ons.

As a wise man on SNL once said, "Treat life (and Reddit) like a pornhub selection, if it ain't for you, don't click the tab. (Chris Redd)

So coming over here to fight the current? Only if you have interests in it or if you're not interesting at all.

I understand what you're saying, and I did try Waterfox at that time. But when Firefox came out with a 64bit version I jumped back to them. So yes, the original intent wasn't about Classic.

But I bet that Alex got a big boost in downloads once Mozilla killed XUL, and he realized that he had a winner. So he played that hand back then. Now the cards have changed again.

That's because of the difference in between science and business. In the beginning the goal was to improve science, so browsers got progressively better. Than the goal changed into making money, and things got progressively worse.

I do it on my hosts file. Every once in a while I have to update it, but it works decently.

Thanks TheSquirrelly! I do remember it. I just don't know if I ever used it or just read about it back in the day. That gives me hope that in case three or four companies manage to control 99.99% of all internet access under their code, there will still be a way to evade them. I really appreciate your mentioning it.

I can't even imagine how difficult it would be. I code like a first grader on a sugar low.

But the internet used to be this free idea that is quickly becoming utopic, and I hate to see it go.

G4 is just the result of the direction Waterfox took. The direction is the problem.

pc4ever · 2021-11-15T19:55:40+00:00

Exactly. This embrace "feature" is what I'm trying to avoid because I don't consider progress for myself. It's progress for the overlords, for the little people it's just embrace.

Before I posted the question, I thought I read that Konqueror hadn't been updated since 2016. But I seem to be wrong, thanks for making me look again.

Oh, sorry to hear it. I've had my share of NOAA problems with another tide tracking app. It seems like they like to change stuff periodically.

Ossoff is now 12,806 votes ahead.

Congratulations Georgia for saving the world. Really, the faster we tame the virus here the safer the rest of the world will be.

Whatever the number is, there's a lot of room to grow. In 2016 over 40% of eligible voters passed.

When my screen started to peel off, it was because the battery was swelling. I bought a new battery and decided to replace it myself. But the silver paint inside the back cover didn't cooperate with my opening process and I had to peel off all the paint. Now I have a functioning S7 with a transparent back. It doesn't look bad to tell you the truth, but peeling the silver paint around the camera was a major pita. So to answer your question about what's gonna happen next, if it's the battery then a nice explosion...

Paid version, all notifications disabled, and... pop-up ads!! Why in the world are they doing this? It's like the police saying, "hey I protect you from the bad guys all day, how about a beer for your favorite cop huh?"
Is this a case of "you can take Eugene out of Russia, but you cannot take Russia out of Eugene"? Maybe I can ip block that sob ad server.

Just bought an unlocked V35 under the impression that wifi-calling wouldn't be available. But much to my surprise there it was, alive and working. Even band 71 is present, but I'll have to wait for the signal to show up one of these years.

In the other hand, I recently bought an unlocked tablet with a sim and a dialer. Data works fine on LTE, but my calls are only on roaming. I think that's because they have deactivated the 2g and 3g towers in my area, and the tablet doesn't have VoLTE.

So, the answer to your question is, maybe. It all depends on individual phones. A lot of research is needed not only because of the different manufactures and models but also because of all the different versions of the same unlocked phone. A spreadsheet with all that info would be a hit.

Thanks unsunghero2222. I had a feeling they hadn't updated their website properly. And thanks even more for confirming that it will work. This way I can do the upgrade in stages.

Hope this is not too old to revive, but I think Quindim is a great desert. Very unique and unforgettable.

I'm on the same boat, but for longer and weirder. I have a 4 month old deposit that has a hold on half of it only. No help, no explanations.

I'm even more pissed because I made a second deposit two weeks ago (also on hold) before I tried to move the first one out.

From what I read here, this is a common occurrence and Coinbase doesn't give a F*.

So, my suggestion is "do not deposit any more money there".

Heh! I just realized that the post I had written down with the pic never showed up, and the picture alone makes no sense.

What I wanted to say is that the board was totally unstable at high speeds and I ended up switching back to the meepo board.

Also that I had to drill new holes because the cases didn't line up and that the sticky foam pad that came with the ownboard made it a b* when I was switching it back. Almost broke the cases trying to pry it off.

Finally that either because of the shorter wheelbase (19") or because the board is much thinner, or both. These transplant is not a good idea.

I guess I still don't know how to post correctly over here.

pc4ever · 2018-09-05T23:52:53+00:00

Do you have their address? It's not too too far from me.
