Well mine still hasn't shipped :/ Giving it till Friday then asking for a refund. I think from last week Tuesday is more than enough time.

Hear hear

EDIT: I mailed 'Ella' back now and asked when they will be able to ship the items out.

Let's hope for an actual response and not an automated reply

EDIT EDIT: I hope they pull through because looking around at the other retailers, the prices have gone up quite a bit due to the Rand falling faster than a fat kid down a flight of stairs :/

Vodacom OOB shark loves you :crylaugh:

Nay, we love the 50Gb MTN @R150 p/m Deal :love:

For those considering or already running Lineage OS on their Note3 : The new nightly (05/04/2017) pretty much fixed everything now. Had some random FC issues with last week's nightly, but after upgrading last night everything is running absolutely perfectly... Camera, fingerprint, alles.
Highly recommended to get Lineage OS now.

This method on XDA is the best, foolproof way I've found - doesn't even require the official unlock.

Not yet.
Most alternative ROMs I've investigated seems to have one or two niggles, be it fingerprint, camera, battery or not getting regular security/any updates.

Looks like I'll be opening a case with PayPal on Monday. Still nothing from geekbuying, and they don't respond to mails.

I posted this on the other thread, but I meant to actually post it here...

I got a reply from Geekbuying today regarding the Note 4 I ordered (same will apply to xrapidx):

Dear Phillip,
Thank you for shopping at Geekbuying.
Sorry that the factory has postponed the deliver time of the phone to next week.*
Please don't worry, I have asked our warehouse workmates to put your order ahead of others, once we prepare your parcel, we will ship it out immediately and will send you a message with the tracking number.*
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Cordially,*
Ella

Cancelled my order with Geekbuying around Tuesday, got the paypal refund notification the next day.
Used support_payment@geekbuying.com to cancel.
They didn't want to refund the accessories since they shipped that separately, not fussed since I am ordering the same phone else wear.

Ordered from Aliexpress yesterday.

They won't really have a choice with me, I'll probably get another phone, so if they don't refund the accessories, I'll go the PayPal route.

@FlashSA Run an app called CCleaner from the Play Store. Use advanced cleaning and you'll find some big files in the Whatsapp folder.
