ChickenTalon on 22/07/2014 - 11:48 tinydeal.com (2992 clicks)

$2.12 crazy high price, genuinely insane.
$1.27 Calling it now, RIP OFF!
$1.06 sheesh, still waaaay to high. Who posts these deals anyway?!? Idiot.
$0.96 OMG FINALLY!

If this is you then now is the time! Unless of course you want to wait longer, as it will probably come down.

Yes i know, has been as low as $0.44…. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/149514 provided you're willing to forgo actually receiving your order.

NOTE 1: This is from Tinydeal, a few have reported that deliveries take a very long time and some have reported not receiving anything at all (my two deliveries took about 6 weeks). So before you decide to push the button, know that you’re taking a chance on not getting a button to push. Pay with CC (a no international fee one) if you would like the protection of charging back your 96c if the button does not arrive.

NOTE 2: do your research, doesn't work on all phones and in all situations straight away. May need some research on how to get it working with your device.

    My klik button from the $2.12 deal arrived last week, just short of 2 months delivery time. From the sounds of it they were backordered and fulfilled those at the same time as the $1.06 deal, not that they told anyone that.

      Yeah, some people reported getting the $1.06 not long after ordering. I ordered a powerbank the day i posted that deal, hasn't arrived yet.

    Recommended. Especially those who do not use headphone often - this is because the button is a bit hard to be pulled out yet easily dropped and lost.

    I got two but lost one while changing button/headphone plug.

    Great little thing. I use it for three things: torch, camera, and calling (my work place number, which are not among the six numbers I have saved on my car's bluetooth)

      It muted audio on my tablet .. kept having to pull it out to watch a video .. eventually it flicked across the room as I struggled to pull it out .. din't bother to look to find where it went.

      • hamwhisperer on 22/07/2014 - 12:34

        That's a good point, wouldn't it cause the phone to try and route audio through it and block the normal audio port?

      • hluu0111 on 22/07/2014 - 12:42
        +8

        If it muted your device's audio, then it was either that you did not install the apk, or (if you did, then) you did not indicate that the thingy you inserted into that 3.5mm hole is either "Klick" or "Headphone".

        You know, though the phone is called "smart phone", it is not smart enough to recognise the type of stick it is penetrated with … On the positive side, no lub is needed. LOL…

          Mine went wonky when I inserted it with the screen locked. when i unlocked the phone, the popup was there asking if I'd inserted a Klick or headphones. I chose Klick, but it still muted the audio.

          When I took it out and reinserted it with the screen unlocked, and chose Klick, audio went to the phone's loudspeaker properly.

    I wish I had a use for one of these, because it's totally a cool idea.
    What use is it? (no I'm being serious though) - anyone thought of a good use?
    Would it work in an iphone? I assume that can't be reprogrammed though, only Android, right?

    • salem on 22/07/2014 - 15:55
      +1

      Does not work on iPhone. The plug itself has no smarts. It just send a play/pause signal to your phone as if you had headphones plugged in with a button on their cord. The android-only software controls what the phone does when it gets such a signal (or multiple signals, in the case of double and triple click).

      • hamwhisperer on 22/07/2014 - 16:58
        +1

        That's what I figured. The popularity of this should convince manufacturers that they should have a few extra buttons on the phones, not less. This soft button thing drives me insane, I'm sticking with Samsung and their physical home button as long as possible.

    You can also get 5 for approx. $2.77 (~$0.56ea) at Aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-lot-quick-button-smart-p…

    I can't vouch for the quality, but I would assume they're all exactly the same. Handy if you want to buy one for each Android device in your house, or give them to friends.

    Funilly enough, mine arrived today from the last time this was posted.

    So yeah, takes awhile, but it'll get there.

    Sadly I can't get it to do the one thing I wanted it to, work as a camera button. It can open the app but that's not what I wanted. Ho hum.

    • ChickenTalon on 22/07/2014 - 14:35

      Maybe press it again? ;p

    • salem on 22/07/2014 - 15:57

      Camera shutter is what I wanted, too. But turns out on my nexus 4 in the camera app, I can use the volume buttons now anyway. Not sure what version of android or the camera app that came in on.

      I can set it to take a picture from a click without even opening the camera app. But it's a bit hit and miss, as you have no viewfinder and no way to know if you're focussed or what settings your camera is on.

  • Zed on 22/07/2014 - 13:41

    2 things.

    I ordered from last time via tinydeal.

    1. they are junk items.

    2. Tinydeal are real rip-off merchants (sorry don't know the local aussie term for it!). paypal gave me my money back so not out of pocket, items went in the bin, neither worked and when plugged in, 1 stopped my handset's mic from working, requiring a nexus 5 factory reset.

    Wouldn't buy from tinydeal no matter what the price.

    • dtox on 22/07/2014 - 14:39

      Are there other apps out there that work with less intrusive permissions?

      • eug on 22/07/2014 - 14:50
        +4

        How would you expect it to work if it has no permissions?

        It lets you take photos, send an SOS via text with your location, quick-dial a phone number from your contacts, start an audio recording, toggle settings like wifi… it needs a lot of permissions to be able to do all that.

        • luka on 22/07/2014 - 16:06

          I thought about that but honestly I don't see enough advantage in using this to risk all my stuff getting sent to who know where…

          What did you think you were buying and if you thought you were buying what this is how did you expect it to work without permissions?

          @Diji1:

          This is ozbargain. If it is cheap, buy it straight away and ask questions later :-)

          I did not think of permissions when buying. Most of people won't and that's why I posted my comment above.

          Only after receiving it I went to download the official app on Google Play and saw that it wants access to almost everything. Yes, the app needs permissions to do lots of things but I thought the list was excessive. I could be wrong but I was not the first person concerned about this.
          And why should I trust the company who made the app? I never heard of them before.

          So it was a no for me.

        eneloop's Mrs is like a universal hub…takes all shapes and sizes (even one's made in China) and allows for multiple inputs at once. She doesn't discriminate, allowing almost any type (black or white) to enter her, with the exception of Thunderbolt as proprietary inputs are hard to copy. Better check her box though, make sure she is Plug and Play compatible.

        My original message? Oh you saw that… if you saw it might actually work with a 2.5mm hole, and an included adapter for 3.5mm headphones.

        • eug on 22/07/2014 - 18:45

          then they'd have to carry around a 2.5mm adaptor wherever they go… makes more sense to remove the button when they want to plug earphones in and store it in the included holder that attaches to the earphone cable.

        • imcold on 23/07/2014 - 11:46

          yes but its been said its hard to remove the button.

          The adapter can be left on headphone. How many people carry around multiple headphones? Still one needs to consider the sturdiness of a hollow 0.5mm thick round tubing.

          Another possibility is a right-angled plug. The button will have to a bit taller, and wider the accommodate the plug. You just plug the headphones into the side of the clicky thing.

  • hashtagbargain on 22/07/2014 - 14:57

  • Diji1 on 22/07/2014 - 16:59

    I don't really see the point of this device given that there's already methods of assigning functions to hardware buttons and it entails having a small doo-dad to lose anytime you want to use your devices headphone port along with having to remove it etc.

    Of course everyone's situation is different but it seems to create too much inconvenience to me.

    I am quite surprised that people would just install any apk without thinking about the security risks. Recently Chinese ROMs/Apps are under the radar for many such malwares. What if this is a trap to spy your phones :)

    And here is a comment on the 'official' app from Google Play:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helloklick…

    "Security Risk based on Norton Mobile Security 360 I posted this review to help the community & to force the app developers to be honest, improve their app and not to VIOLATE OUR PRIVACY. This app has "High Concern" flagged in red "Klick - Annoying Advertiser". Details of the RISK are: ((1. Puts ads on notification bar 2. Collects a list of running apps 3. Collects a list of installed apps 4. Collects SIM card details 5. Prompts to install other apps)) I hope no one falls to this and use your info. You may consider this SPYWARE/MALWARE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. I wish I can attach the screenshot so you can see it. Hope this helps."

      Collects a list of running/installed apps? Duh, how else will it know what it can launch when you're setting it up, or what to do when you press it? I haven't got any ads or any prompts to install other apps (but I am running an ad blocker).

    • luka on 24/07/2014 - 15:48

      I can't believe the above post is getting negative votes, I will probably get the same…

      bobz79 is just trying to warn people to think before blindly installing apps.
      Would you think twice about installing an exe that was attached to an email with subject like "sexy girls, open attachment"?

      Norton Mobile 360 may give a false positive. Or it may not. You have been warned.

      • ChickenTalon on 24/07/2014 - 16:04

        Warnings are fine. But they are negging the deal because they doesn't like the app and "suspect" it's reporting things to China. Not really a valid neg, probably why they are getting negged themselves.

        I've been using my $2 "klick" button for a month or so already from a previous deal.

        Much kickstarter regret on this one. Hopefully the official pressy app will be better than the klick app (downloading it now). Still unlikely to make it worth the extra $23 though (or extra $24 over this deal).

      You need to remove the button, install the klick app, then insert the button.

      Your phone should then ask you what you just plugged in, a headset or a button. Choose button, and then it won't try and use it as a headset when you're on a call.

  • Kaz0551 on 12/08/2014 - 17:53

    Ahhhh touche! Phone calls work now, thanks Salem

    What delay works best for you when double - triple clicking?

    The Klick button seems to control volume sporadically in addition to its preset commands.
