Deal Extreme offering 50% off a huge selection of items!!

There's Quad Core Tablets (under $100)
http://dx.com/p/freelander-pd30-quad-core-8-ips-capacitive-s…

Exynos 7" tab for $88
http://dx.com/p/freelander-pd10hd-7-ips-exynos4412-quad-core…

THL W8 Quad Core phone ($116)
http://dx.com/p/thl-w8-android-4-1-quad-core-bar-phone-w-5-0…

Update:

http://dx.com/mayhalfprice?utm_source=dx&utm_medium=cdn&utm_…

According to this, they will be rotating the deals throughout the day (800 SKUs with total quantity of 40,000) to cover a bunch of other products too. Check back whenever you can to see if theres anything new!

Update 2:

http://dx.com/mayhalfprice/Default/ShoppingList

They have pushed out another list of more items! It does verify the theory that the initial page was for DX AU deliveries whilst this is the International 50% off section. Please be aware that there will be longer delivery times for this since it needs to be shipped directly from China as opposed to the DX AU (which apparently has warehouse in Perth).

Update 3:
Offer is pretty much officially "Ozbargained" with the only remaining stock to be either very specialist products (Spare battery for product x), Seasonal products (Christmas), or stuff that not many people want. The only thing I am hoping for is that they can fulfill all orders so everyone is happy.

DX has subtly stated however, (Broken English) "If the customers who participate in this activity are more than expected which results in lack of product supply, we have to process refund for the oversold items, please kindly understand." which may account for some people's Paypals reported refunded against.

Update 4:

Have to apologise in advance to anyone who doesnt get the stock for this deal. Despite being the OP and putting the order through before others, I have now received a cancellation against my two orders (W8 and PD10). It is seemingly like a lottery to get stock. Very very disappointed. :(

Update 5:

After a disappointing weekend, DX has now come back to affected customers with a voucher that's worth 15% of the original total order. So, if your order was $200, then they will give you back $30 worth as a rebate in compensation to be used in DX. Apparently the stock is still available - but not it has changed to a different SKU but they are offering 15% off the original price. This is pretty beneficial if your original order was expensive (and hence you can get back a higher rebate value) - but typically most would only have done a $200 order with $30 rebated.

The new link is here: http://dx.com/l/au-direct/2013-02/special-items.aspx

As you can see, the deal is nowhere near as good as before. However, it is up to you as an individual to see if it is still good value enough to continue making the purchases.

    I got my SingFire headlight/bike light today, but have no idea how to attach the light to the head strap. Can anyone help?

  • ycon on 28/05/2013 - 10:21

    All my 3 orders have now shipped. One (the LED light strip) arrived yesterday and is really good!

    I never contacted them through chat, so my theory is that doing so (contacting them) triggered DX to cancel orders maybe?

    • kirt on 28/05/2013 - 10:33

      I contacted them about 6 or 7 times on chat, and my PD30 is "In Transit to Destination" :)

      The only difference between my order and the ones by other people in the office that got cancelled were that they had multiple AU Direct items in the one order…I only had the one…

      • aec on 28/05/2013 - 10:53

        Out of the box its got 40% battery, has been keeping me entertained at uni for a good 2 hrs so far. It now shows 26℅. I think after a proper charge it will last longer. A retina screen on a 8000mah battery though, I'm impressed.

  • wickedcherub on 28/05/2013 - 13:44

    I'm finding the PD80HD really terrible at picking up my house's wifi - like, it will only pick it up if I'm in the same room with the router. None of my other devices have this issue!

    • dirtybird on 28/05/2013 - 14:57

      tbh I've never had one of these cheaper tablets do well with wifi, this one is no different.
      I can be in places where my old ipod has great reception and these tables have poor or none.

    • rohanp16 on 28/05/2013 - 17:37

      Couldn't pickup any wifi signal, same as you. However, I restarted my device and the network magically appeared. Now I'm connected with 3 out of 4 bars !

  • rohanp16 on 28/05/2013 - 13:56

    Just got my PD80HD tablet at work, haven't had a chance to play with it completely but for $110 it seems good value. It's my first tablet (and Android too) so I'm not sure what to 'look' for but,

    Touch screen was responsive, no lag, everything felt smooth.

    The only glitch I noticed was that the main camera seemed to be out of focus even when I tapped to focus. I'm not too fussed though, not my device of choice for photos !

    Chinese tablets are known to have wifi issues, try rooting it for better connectivity.

    • aec on 28/05/2013 - 14:44

      yeas, the camera of my tablet has the same issue. but i never use the camera on any tablets i own or owned.

      i dont have any wifi issues with this tablet.

    • fchis on 28/05/2013 - 18:07

      you mean $110 USD? I paid $116AUD for mine.

      • rohanp16 on 28/05/2013 - 18:20

        Yup meant $110 USD. I paid $116 AUD too !

    • p4e81 on 28/05/2013 - 18:44

      Just confirming that I have the same out of focus camera problem in my pd80hd. I wonder if there is a software fix available for this… either way, I don't ever remember using my ipad3's back camera so whatever.

  • quicksion on 28/05/2013 - 14:02

    Also someone mentioned above regarding 'write disk', it capable to write directly to sd card instead of phone storage. No need folder mount necessary…nice one.

  • jimbler on 28/05/2013 - 17:17

    • rohanp16 on 28/05/2013 - 18:19

      Yup, have the same issue. I'm going to flash it with CM10 soon so let's see how it works then.

          There was great list of steps to take posted on whirlpool when I did the old ZTE v9 from Optus.
          Not sure if they would be valid for this model.

        • JakeTheMuSS on 29/05/2013 - 14:32

          Ok all done have CM10 on the PD80 now..

        • rohanp16 on 29/05/2013 - 14:36

          Nice ! How's it working ? Was it straightforward to install via the instructions on the slatedroid forum ? Anything else we should keep in mind ? Sorry for the barrage of questions ! I'll try it later tonight.

          Also with the TWRP we need to install first for CM10, did you have an issue with this ?

          "Right now TWRP doesn't support 2048x1536 screen (just 2560x1600 but it's too big and cuts some screen portion)"

        • Kugz on 29/05/2013 - 14:49

          how on earth? I couldn't get TWRP to work at all (it was unresponsive to touch) and CWM didn't work.

          Accidentally flashed the wrong CWM though, pretty sure my device is bricked now. Ah well :D

        • JakeTheMuSS on 29/05/2013 - 14:52

          Ok i've only played with it for about 30mins.. but all seems to be running as it is supposed too… Will test video and music in a sec.

          Now with TWRP i was stuck on this for ages as the touch screen was non responsive. So decided to leave it for 10mins and then it started responding I did everything even restore back to factory settings…which i had to then get my asian mate to chuck it back to english :)

          But after the touchpad became responsive was all smooth sailing. Wifi seems to be nice and strong and quicker.

        • JakeTheMuSS on 29/05/2013 - 14:54

          Yeah just leave it for 10ish mins and it starts to respond… :/

        • JakeTheMuSS on 29/05/2013 - 14:56

          Also make sure ur ext SD is formatted to fat32 or it wont mount.

        • rohanp16 on 29/05/2013 - 14:59

          Naive question, but an external USB (via OTG cable) would work too yes ?

        • JakeTheMuSS on 29/05/2013 - 15:00

          Not too sure.. could be a limiting factor of the TWRP boot.

        • JakeTheMuSS on 29/05/2013 - 15:12

          Hey Kruz… try this..

          • keep "esc" button pressed
          • connect tablet to pc
          • quick and multiple pressing "on" button
          • pc recognize tablet as the device for phoenix
          • flash fw as usual
          • done :)
        • shredu on 30/05/2013 - 06:22

          Hey Jake,
          Great to hear CM is working. Can you give us a run down in laymen's terms on how to get it going?
          I have downloaded the Cm10, Gapps, And the pd80 compatibility zip.
          From my understanding you need to get this into recovery mode and flash it with those files? (I have done similar with an s3). Is TWRP the recovery program? Where did you get this from?
          Am I missing anything?
          Thanks in advanced.

        • rohanp16 on 30/05/2013 - 07:04

          Did you use the Ainol Spark or Chuvi v10 download link on the TWRP page Jake ?

        • JakeTheMuSS on 30/05/2013 - 08:56
          +1

          Hey Guys,

          U have downloaded all the right stuff..

          Yeah u need the twrp program to install it. U need to go tinot play store and download the Terminal Emulator and run the commands to install it. You then boot into recovery from the backup and reset option in settings.

          The touch screen did not work for about 10mins for some reason. I'm pretty sure I installed spark one but if one does not work, try the other.

          Any other questions let me know.

          Cheers,
          Jake

        • flagger on 30/05/2013 - 14:20

          I am also trying to get CM10 on my PD80-HD. I have flashed spark TWRP 2.4.4.0 from the slatedroid thread, and have waited for ages, but the touchscreen will not become responsive.

          Jake, did you just let the screen turn off while in recovery mode and then come back after 10 mins and hit the power button or escape button? I do this, and I get the swipe to unlock graphic, but I can not unlock the tablet :(

        • flagger on 30/05/2013 - 14:41
          +1

          Well I just got the touchscreen working in recovery using the Chuwi TWRP version!!! I installed it as per the instructions in the slatedroid thread. Just make sure you type su into the terminal emulator before running the cat command (make sure you see a # in the prompt).

          I then rebooted into recovery, waited only a few minutes, the screen turned off. I turned it back on and I could swipe to unlock :D

          Hope this helps some of you guys out

        • rohanp16 on 30/05/2013 - 15:04

          That will definitely help flagger ! Download Chuwi TWRP version, noted. Do you reckon it's possible to use a USB via OTG cable to flash ROM's ?

        • flagger on 30/05/2013 - 15:10

          Mmm not sure. Depends if the drivers for OTG are in the recovery image. However in the install section, only internal and sd card options were available. So that makes me think that's a big fat no :(

        • rohanp16 on 31/05/2013 - 08:33

          Thanks, I tried it with the OTG last night but you're right it doesn't show up. A little googling said the TWRP 2.4.4 should have USB OTG support, but it's not showing up for some reason.

        • mtjz on 01/06/2013 - 00:14

          I installed the Chuwi TWRP version and the screen was only 1/4 of the size of the tablet. Is that what you got too flagger? I have waited for a long time and still unable to swipe to unlock. I have tried both spark and Chuwi already :( Any hints?

        • rohanp16 on 01/06/2013 - 07:25

          Yes it was 1/4 the size of the tablet for me too.

          Not too sure. I just turned the screen off and I couldn't swipe to unlock initially, but it happened eventually (5-10 mins).

    • EarthMan on 29/05/2013 - 09:12

      Got delivery of mine at 7:27 am (Sydney CBD) this morning at work. I brought my international adapter with me to work to charge it but it already had 96%. looks good.

      The PD80-HD has a flimsy little physical button used as an ESC button. Not sure how long that would last. Other than that I am happy with an otherwise cheap unit that pretends to be a great glorified tablet and so far it does really well :)

      Firmware is 4.1.1 and will be upgrading soon.
      Camera focus is not accurate as others have reported, ow well…

  • Buyingcrap on 29/05/2013 - 08:41

    Got mine yesterday.
    Battery life maybe 5 hours under heavy use (games, streaming video, tinkering etc).
    No auto brightness? Blinding at night.
    Had maybe 5 crashes so far, one of which wiped my widgets, icons and some settings.
    Happy with wifi reception so far.
    Sound seems fine on mine.
    Need to remove the china apps, I get email like notifications of chinese girls.
    Nice and fast, touch screen responsive.
    Screen looks great. Vivid and crisp.
    Build quality is about what I expected, nothing great but at least my screen is straight.

    For the price I'm very happy, if it was $200 I would sacrifice size and get a nexus 7.

    Anyone know how to put the PD80-HD in Recovery Mode to backup rom or flash new ones. You would need a volume rocker, there isn't one on the tablet !!
