Honestly I'd contact indiegogo and tell them what's going on and ask how you can get a refund. I've not donated to them before that I can recall, so I'm not sure how their policies go. Sorry I can't be more help in that department.

We would like here to call your attention that our A.I Watch
campaign is diverted by a third parties under ID: “Vapirius” selling a smart
watch AX2 (having only some basics functions) misleading and cheating interested
internets followers.
We hereby confirm that this product has nothing to do with our A.I
Watch, a very complex concept development based on different working prototypes
as explained on Indiegogo crown funding platform… http://igg.me/at/aiwatchsmartwatch/x/4886567
After long investigation those last days, we have taken all
necessaries actions against those parties. We summon them to remove all our
artworks and photos that they diverted from our website and Indiegogo campaign
as they are our property.
In addition we summon them to remove and to stop all offensive and
insulting words that they propagate against us trough different website and
blogs who published articles that were concerning A.I Watch.
We want to thank particularly to all of you for a huge number of
questions and emails that we are trying to answer. As well as worldwide
well-known companies interested in our project.
Thanks to continue supporting us to achieve our goals.

Not necessarily vapor. The watch exists, it's just not what they claim it is. It's not made by them, it's made by a different company under a different name. And it's cheaper than they're selling them for. So, not vapor, but I'd call it a scam in my book.

Are you totally sure about that?
As I find the evidence of it being a scam very strange if it is legit.
Dont you find it at all suspicious and the fact a lot of their promo photos are photoshopped to have the watch on them too.
I would love for this to be legit but im really worried about not getting the watch I paid for. I dont want a refund IF indiegogo will refund me if it does turn out to be a scam since you seem sure it isnt a scam.
Hope to hear from you soon thanks.
I am waiting for a reply from them.

So he can have the money to order a couple thousand of them with little to now investment capital on his end? This would not be the first time this has been done on a crowdfunding site.

Confirmation of UK specs

Quad-band 3G confirmed by Clove (this is from their blog post today)!
Samsung Galaxy S II UK Specs Confirmed: Exynos Chip & Quad-Band 3G!
Thursday, April 14, 2011
This has been a hot topic of conversation over the last month or so but finally we have confirmation of the Samsung Galaxy S II specs that remained to be clarified.
Having spoken to the UK Product Manager for the Samsung Galaxy S II, we can confirm that UK stock will ship with the following:
1. Samsung Dual Core Exynos CPU (not NVidia Tegra 2)
2. 3G frequencies are 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band)
3. Display is Super AMOLED Plus
4. Box contents: Handset, battery, charger, USB cable, headset, Quick start guide.
If you have an outstanding pre-order with Clove for the SGS2, you will be receiving an email regarding this confirmation of spec within the next day or so and you will be given the chance to cancel the order if this is not the specification that you were hoping for. However, we hope that for the majority of you this will be good news and we look forward to shipping your order as soon as possible.

In Norway both the Arc and the Optimus 2x comes with HDMI cable. The Arc even comes with a 16gb SD card.
That said, I don't care much whether or not these things comes with the Galaxy S II. If you can buy such an expensive phone, you should be able to afford some minor accessories.

It to be expected that they wont give a HDMI adapter or a MHL Cable. Samsung's alternate solution is to use their certified accessories such as the ones mentioned above.
Even if we can afford it, the problem is that no one have this cables in stock, and some others want a reasonable price, not 28pounds for a cable that the real value is 1$ and we will see months later on dealextreme, but not at the launch date.
Great to hear. Now all we need is confirmation that the bootloader can be unlocked.
No, I think this cable / adapter will be available in the UK region soon after the release of the device. Its the regions like Singapore, South Korea and India that will have to wait as no one will be wanting to spend 30-50$ on a cable to hook up to a TV...
Yes, its a great feature to have but the demand of it will be less, especially in India, hence the retailers will not care to order it right away.
Thank you OP. That certainly did make my day I already have preordered with them and this was exactly the specs I was hoping for. Now we only need to wait and see whether the bootloader is actually open.

Was this an official outlet? Sounds more likely he's got his hands on prototypes or review models...
I'd stay away from a device without Samsung Branding, as when have you known Samsung not to stick their logo on the phone?
hmm...
If I am not mistaken, the Korean models have no Samsung logo on the front.

Samsung not having a Bright White logo on GS II is strange!! I can not agree more but I made the guy call his boss and ask!! and I made sure that what I saw was retail version with 1.2GHZ CPU.
Now I have more ....
As you know, from one certain date Samsung replaced pictures with ones with logo. from then almost every online store and mobile reviewer changed their pictures too. Recently I realized Telenor and Tele2 (bigest phone companies in sweden) changed back pictures to ones without Samsung logo.
You can chek it yourself.( As I am sure you know! web sites are .se rather than .com or ...)

Nexus S. It has the Samsung in the back cover.
But I don't believe it would come to sweden without Samsung text in front, when it does in Finland.
I have my doubts about this information. I don't doubt the veracity of what you're saying, but of the information you were given.
First, I wouldn't put it past the regional marketing branch of Samsung to hand out some of the former prototype devices to retailers to look at and Media Markt may have mistook it for a display model. Second, the very fact that Samsung doesn't include an MHI adapter cable is strange, especially when they're rare to come by and other manufacturers like Nokia have set the standard (my N8 came with an HDMI cable, USB-to-Go cable, you name it), so I think the local MM manager is just going on logic without really checking things up.
Yesterday I was in an ElGiganten in Stockholm and the whole front of the store was decked out in huge display boards. They expected to be ready for release on May 6, and kind of miffed about having to wait until May 12. Won't they look rediculous when they realize all their expensive marketing material doesn't even look like the device to be sold - with a Samsung logo on it.
I would be very surprised if the hardware versions delivered to the various EU countries have any significant differences (and I prefer the Samsung lable on the front). But then again, stranger things have happened.
The samsung brand is on the back... Strangely like the iPhone?!
And its not just Sweden. If you visit the Samsung page (swedish, finnish, whatever), only the front page and top images have it - the rest in the actual specification/advertisment of the phone doesnt have it. Three UK shows it without the name. Etc and so on.
You're right about the local Samsung page, it's a mixed bag.
The retailer pictures vary, but the OP is right in saying that a surprising number of retailers now or still have the photos without the logo on the front.
If this is true, it makes me worry that there might be other less benign differences from the units that we've seen from the UK, like cheaper camera sensors or the like.
Let's hope that there is no hardware difference in EU. I really hate it when they do that.
The worst case scenario is Samsung having many first production devices that we know as test devices mostly with 1 GHZ CPU and then they realized that they want to go with 1.2 GHZ and the Samsung LOGO and rest is not so hard to guess since CPU speed is just the matter of over clocking old devices and ..... OH just find a cold place in north to get rid of them ))))
I really hope that I am wrong ..... we will know in less than 5 days.
Danish version...
.... seems to be just like the Swedish version - or rather the version i bought.
No logo on front - also no NFC, and only 16 Gb version without memorycard in the box. BUT... also no HDMI-converter. This version actually comes from warehouses in Sweden, where Telia stores it.
But the specs on the phone shows 1,2 Ghz dual-core, and the rest of the specs fully complies with the specs from Samsung on this phone.

This is because usually carriers force their logos on the front. This was partially the reason why iPhone arrived so late in Korea. Apple wouldn't let anyone touch'em.

No logo on front - also no NFC, and only 16 Gb version without memorycard in the box. BUT... also no HDMI-converter. This version actually comes from warehouses in Sweden, where Telia stores it.
But the specs on the phone shows 1,2 Ghz dual-core, and the rest of the specs fully complies with the specs from Samsung on this phone.

The Nordic countries always share the same version (at least in my experience of Samsung).
Has it already been released in Denmark???
Could you use Android System Info and see if it looks the same as Swedroid's UK device shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt7mdInSWqk&feature=relmfu
At 3:26 it shows some CPU info (although not entirely accurate, it does show the use of the CPU going up to 1.2 GHz).
I Saw CONVERTER WITH MY EYES!!!
People ! I saw the converter that comes with GSII in box in Sweden @ least from Media Market it is a Charger/HDMI converter you use it to charge cell phone or plug HDMI cable. You can see it in the post here for Infuse4G "http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Infuse-4G-HDMI-out-Adapter-Demonstration_id18667"
So now you can charge and use HDMI @ same time.

I informed them within 6 hours of receiving the delivery that this is not the item which i had ordered and that they should refund the money. Following are the replies i got:
Me - Hi,
I had ordered the tab flytouch 3, but the item which you have shipped to me as being displayed in the mail i have received from you is Super pocket i7, which is a lower configuration tablet than the flytouch 3. How this has happened at an online portal so reputed as ipmart.com is beyond me. Kindly reply immediately and send me the correct item which i have ordered.
Regards
IPMART - Dear Mr. Amit

Me - Dear Sir/Madam,
I had ordered a flytouch 3 model tablet pc whose link on ipmart.com is
http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/...Tablet,PC,,Fly,Touch,3,330462.php?prod=330462
The item i have received is a different model altogether. It is super pocket i7 which is a much lower configuration item than the fly touch 3. I received the item vide DHL way bill no. 7328669526 and the item was delivered today at 12:40 pm IST on 07.01.2012. This status can be checked on the website link

IPMART - Dear Mr. Amit
Thanks for your message and video. After we checked with our stock department and manufacturer, we have shipped out the correct Android 2.3 Infotmic X220 ARM 11 1GHz DDRⅡ 512M HDD 4GB WIFI Camera G-sensor 7-inch Resistive Touch Screen Tablet PC - Fly Touch 3 (item ID: 330462) to you.
Because the new batch of stock, all the packaging had been changed to Super pocket i7.
The tablet pc that you have received is model Fly Touch 3, the Super pocket i7 is the name of the tablet pc packaging. This tablet pc has the same memory, hard drive, appearance, size, function, etc. as listed in our website.
Since you already received the item, you may test the product, it is the same product that you have ordered.
Please do inform us if you have any inquiries. Thank you.
Best regards,
Wendy
Me - Dear Wendy,
This most definitely is not the same product which i had ordered. I am attaching here some photos of the info of the hardware which clearly shows that the processor is ARM6 791.34 MHz whereas the product which i had ordered is ARM11 1GHz. The RAM is 184 MB whereas the item which i had ordered is 512MB DDRII. The storage is 1GB in the unit which you have sent me whereas the item which i had ordered had storage of 4GB. How can you say this is the same product. This is clearly the same product. Now the right thing to do is accept your mistake and return my money as the item you have sent me is much much inferior to the item which i had ordered.
Amit Oberoi
This is what is happening. Do they think the customer is a fool that they can give a petty excuse that the packaging has changed. This is outright insulting.
I have again sent a message to them with the system info photos which i have also attached herewith. Let us see what their reply is. I will keep you all posted. However, my experience till now - BEWARE OF IPMART.COM. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND THEN CONSIDERING YOU A FOOL, THEY WILL FORCE DOWN WHATEVER THEY HAVE DISPATCHED.
Regards
Amit Oberoi
buyers beware from any of those china based companies

Be glad you even received a item.

This happens too????
If i lived in tje US. I would stick to the big companies
Dont get me wrong. It isnt your fault in any way. God i hate people that does this to others. :/
I used mah awesome Xperia Play R800i w/ CM7 to write this
reminds me of when i almost bought a kit of 20 android pads for $25 each in quantity from china, then thought this is way toooo good to be true, turns out it was, i looked them up on ripoff.com and found out before i bought, then again i should have known that was wayyy to cheap for a pad than could do all those things lol
25$ for a pad is actually too good to be true. However, i ordered from ipmart.com because it is supposed to be a reputed site. All is still not lost as after sending them the specifications of the tab which i have received they are saying that they have sent the specifications to the manufacturer and are waiting for a word from him and then they will get back to me. Lets see what happens. in the meanwhile i have bought a samsung galaxy tab and it is excellent. I dont know what got into me in the first place that i ordered a chinese tab.
i dont think ipmart will screw up there reputatioin just because of usd 80
@amitoberoi
1)for my opinion i dont believe a company with forum with 1.5million member and with 240,000 fans at facebook ( iPmartMY) will screw up their reputation just because of a tablet pc cost not more the usd 80
2) if they still continue to reply your msg or trying to solve your issue and its not fair to start post they are fraud company
i find similar stuff on craigslist as well, definitely gotta be careful
Dear amitoberoi,
we apologise for the inconvenience caused. Rest assure that we will be refunding the amount for the item once we have received the package.
Please kindly repack the product that you have received back to original packaging including all the accessories and user manual, we will arrange shipping courier to do pick up from your address.
Please refer and reply to us in message id: 1291888 to provide us the address you wish for us to do pick up from, and also inform us a time which is more convenient for you, thank you.
Thank you very much for your co-operation and sorry to waste your valuable time,
I-Pmart Customer Service Leader
Regards, Kim
Also be careful of Alibaba...tons of scammers there from Asia...
Dear amitoberoi,
we have decided to refunded the whole amount of the order and apologize for the mistake.
You may keep the item as a gift from us for the inconvenience we have caused to you.
We have replied you the PayPal transaction id in the message center to prove that we have refunded the payment already.
Once again, very sorry for wasting your valuable time.
Have a nice day

Haha looks like they solved the problem in a really nice fashion lol

Nice result in the end!
Hey, why is everybody blaming China? IPMART is India Produce Market. Saying that the Indians are quite keen business folks and probably ship direct from China.
It would cost them more to ship it back so it makes sense to leave it.
Go for the novo7 Aurora. Much better.

ZTE Blade S6 All You Need To Know

Hello,
today I want to introduce the new smartphone from ZTE.
It's the ZTE Blade S6.
The main specs are a 5inch 720p Display, 2gb Ram and 16gb Rom and the storage is expandable. It is a DualSim phone (Nano simcard) with DualStandby and supports 4G LTE, too.
It comes with the brand new Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) octacore processor clocked at 1,5GHz and the 64bit technology.
As you can see on the pictures below it is very thin with only 7,7mm and has small bezels around the screen. The back of the phone looks similar to the iPhone 6 with a 13mpx shooter from Sony (IMX214), a led flash, the ZTE branding and the loudspeaker. On the right side there is the volume rocker and the power button. On the other side are the sim trays and the place where you can put the micro SD-card inside. The USB-charging port is on the bottom and the 3,5mm headphone jack on top of the phone.
The overall look is very clean with round edges and handy sizes.
On the front of the phone you can see the 5inch HD Display and a blue homebutton you maybe already know from other ZTE devices like the Nubia Z5S, Z7 or ZTE V5. The front camera has 5mpx and should be perfect for some selfies.
The phone also supports some Smart Sense, which lets you launch apps like the music player or flashlight with gestures like flicking your wrist.
Very special is that the ZTE Blade S6 comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop and ZTE's own MiFavor 3.0 UI. The Google PlayStore is pre installed and it supports multilanguage. You can order the phone in two colors (silver, matte pink).
mod edit: Advertising for 3rd party vendors is against XDA rules
ZTE Blade S6 Specification Overview:
Network:GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 900/2100MHz FDD-LTE 800/900/1800/2600MHz​Platform:Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 615 octa-core chipset (MSM8939)​Operating System:Android 5.0 Lollipop​Size:144 x 70.7 x 7.7mm​Display:5.0inch 720p HD with In-Cell Technology​Camera:Back: Sony IMX214 13mpx, Front: 5mpx​Battery:2400mAh​Interface:3.5mm Earphone Port, Dual Nano SIM, 5pin Micro USB, Micro SD​Memory:16GB eMMC + 2GB RAM DDR3​
Please check out the attached pictures of the ZTE Blade S6 in both colors silver and matte pink.
I will get one phone in the next 1-2 weeks and then I will write a full review of this phone, so stay tuned.
Update: Gearbest has sent me a new coupon code that I would like to share with you.
Code: ZTES6JY
-> Blade S6 costs 214,99$ with shipping from Germany. So it is very interesting for the customers from Europe because they don't have to pay taxes.
Iphone Look Alike
Looks Like iPhone.Well, after sales support is my only concern .
I really like the design, too and the specs look very nice. The Snapdragon 615 should have enough power and an HD screen is enough for 5inch. I hope that the battery will last a whole day or even a bit more.
I don't have any experience with after sale support, so I can't tell you something about it but ZTE is a nig brand and so I think there won't be any production issues.
looking at the frequency this phone should work on the rogers network in canada right? Is it unlocked from the factory?
Yes, it comes definately unlocked but please check the network used by rogers by your own. I'm not an expert and don't want to say something wrong.
I have updated Post 1#.
From today on the phone will be sent out and I hope that I will receive my phone next week.
I'm also waiting for Blade S6...I payed it 263usd but today you can get it for 249 on AliExpress... if there is any root guide, please share...
As posted above you can get it with an coupon code from gearbest for 234$, which I think is a good price for a Snapdragon phone from a big brand.
They dont sell to north america in this sale..
I thought they would sell worldwide.

Now is Chinese New Year and probably they will ship after New Year, I am still waiting for shipment details also
@naruto42 I get my phone from gearbest. The shop link is in post 1. My Blade S6 is at the moment stuck at the customer center in Germany. I hope that I will receive it this week.
I already got mine here in germany! Any ideas for gaining root?
Have you tried Framaroot?
yes, unfortunately its not working.
Tried: Framaroot, SRSRoot, Saferoot, iRoot, OneClickRoot, Eroot, Root Kit.
OneClickRoot submitted some data, maybe they can work something out?!
I will try to root it if I receive my phone. I have googled for ZTE Blade S6 root and the result was an instruction to Eroot.

Senbono t20

Probably one of the most nice looking one out there and has bands that can be easily replaced unlike the Amazfit X with it's proprietary bands.
More info about the watch/band here:
https://www.senbono.store/products/...qBLo8ecJDbMRNkVbzTu7-nyhxdcaME60kpXIFGmO6Wzp0
Of course it can be found on other sites for sale and seems to go for around $66 USD which a much cheaper than the Amazfit X
Like the Amazfit X it is from China so not sure what kind of quality you will get.
there is also a in depth review on YouTube by Smartwatchticks that shows it in action. The app that is uses seems to be pretty bad.
If anyone has one or gets one let us know what you think here! I will do the same if I snatch one up! :highfive:
