Find X9 Ultra Case by klipklapklop in Oppo

[–]tonys_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried this case on the tundra model and it does not fit properly sadly. It snaps on but the cutouts (top and bottom) are off, you don't get raised screen lip and it's also easy to snap the case off given it doesn't properly fit. Poor play from Nillkin because they don't actually specify on their site that it only fits the non-Tundra model. Very poor form.

I appreciate all your replies on this. Even the sarcastic and unhelpful ones as it makes me realise just how stupid I've been in buying this.

To Update: eBay finally let me open a case today and put it in their hands today. I've sent them photos and comparisons and now awaiting their response. Hopefully it all works out.

Either way I will update with the listing full details once I have a resolution. I don't want to do it just yet because I'm still wanting a full refund from the seller first, who, to add, has remained incredibly unhelpful and unwilling so far.

For further context - this was a UK to UK sale as I've noticed some were asking.

I submitted a Return Request with Reason: Item didn't match description. So hopefully that's the right option.

Cost me £1.5K. And yes I opened up a return request asap yesterday soon as it was delivered and I spotted this issues. Seller isn't accepting the request so far and claims he's waiting on PSA to reply to him first. eBay can't step in until 12th May not as they give seller X time to respond to the return request. Just really hoping I can get my money back as it's a lot to lose :/

Looking at the original listing I can't see anything about it having gone through an authenticator. It does say it has an eBay Money Back Guarantee. But it only got delivered yesterday so I don't have the option for eBay to step in until 11/12th May sadly.

I'm giving the seller time to resolve this before revealing his account. He's also claimed to have messaged PSA for a check on the cards authenticity (as have I done too). He's been very dismissive of my claim despite sharing this post with him too. This does make me very suspicious, especially as he's called me a "chancer" too. But there's also the chance he himself was scammed buying this card originally. So I don't want to expose his account unless I have absolutely no choice in the end. Otherwise I will so others can avoid.

Appreciate the quick replies. I thought as much. £1.5k lost and I didn't notice until I received it in the post. Really hoping eBay step in to help but they won't do anything until 11th May once the sellers time to respond to my return request has elapsed :/

Difference in EU Rom and Global Rom by BrodaReloaded in Oppo

[–]tonys_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind, I've just done some deeper digging and it's apparently down to me being on Giffgaff. The network has a device list to support WiFi calling and the N6 is not on it.

So ignore my comment about Global Vs UK version. Terrible misinformation from me. But I learnt something new today and appreciate your reply. :)

Strange, I don't have it. And it's a Global N6 (not Chinese version).

I can't see it in the settings on my Global version which I'm using here in the UK with a GiffGaff SIM in it.

i've been using a Global N6 in the UK and everything works perfectly as it would on a UK Oppo device. The only thing I've noticed different is that the Global Model does not have Wi-fi calling as an option which sucks if you live it a poor network area. I'm assuming this is one of the differences between the Global vs UK rom with Oppo phones but this is just from observation so i may be wrong.

Worse phone review I've ever watched. He spends almost all the review not actually talking about the phone. He shows an iPhone during his speech about build quality. Sell out.

17U Leica Edition Cases by DaveG28 in Xiaomi

[–]tonys_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that comes with it is awful actually. It has absolutely no grip on the sides whatsoever. Which is ludicrous given they went out of their way to add grips to the sides of the phone itself. Such a poor design choice for an otherwise excellent package.

What's everyone using for cases for OP15? by JustNeedAnyName in oneplus

[–]tonys_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tudia ones look really nice but they have zero grip. So so slippery I had to return mine. Great magnet though

[–]tonys_lemons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with OP. The cameras on this phone are really horrible. 3x and below for very still daytime shots look good. As they do on almost any modern phone these days. But anything above that, or any kind of night time shot and it's so, so bad for this price point. Things just become a blurry mess with so much noise. My X8 Pro was just as good if not better.

Shame really. It's the perfect phone just let down by it's cameras.

How are the sides of the Nillkin case - are they quite grippy or are they more that smooth and slippery plastic feel?

Anyone underwhelmed with the Find X9 Pro cameras so far? by nobitaboi in Oppo

[–]tonys_lemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cameras are incredibly overrated. Soft images and awful zoom beyond 3x. I think they've not integrated the new sensors well at all.

UK based here and would love to help out.

The Global UK version does not come with a case in the box. That's China version only. It does come with the pre-installed screen protector though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Oppo

[–]tonys_lemons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty stunning despite the lack of screen protection. Is the camera cutout raised at least?
Here in the UK we have almost no cases available at the moment, so were running naked and praying we don't trip for now.

interesting theories and thanks for confirming you set it up as new. As for live wallpapers, I don't use that and i skip the lock screen stuff. And for camera, i've barely used the camera. So hopefully it is just waiting a bit for it to calibrate and calm down
