Another thing...

as with all things text based, its easy to read into the words being used, and misunderstand the context which unfortunately has happened, so do please expect a call tomorrow for better clarification.

I say this because no you or anyone else understood my exchange comment, it was taken as criticism or complaint, when its not meant that way, just a comment on what I have found in my own environment, meaning its down to me to figure out, so the suggestions although are welcome, are also not necessary if my post was read properly. If it is not clear then my bad.

Thanks for your video!!!

Please understand the whole experience has not the greatest.

1. the constant updates with bad news basically put me off the whole thing to be honest.
2. which is why I believe I probably missed any email regarding what to do about my changing my ring order again. Glad everyone grouped together to decide for me!

So help me to understand why I ended up with two rings being black/transparent and the other having both sides transparent?
Was it so bad that I couldn't just get something something closer to my order?

3. In regards to my comment about the exchange server security policy of which i will express again, I am not blaming the ring!!! or the software!!! just disappointed, as it spoils the experience again.

4. apologies, i was referring too the Ring Control, took a while to figure out which one actually assigned the tags in the rings to be used for unlocking. I see now that the Ring Control let you program the tags for other uses. But again not clear on the outset when, perhaps I have been spoilt by other apps just being straight to the point.

More to the point, and let be clear on this,

I am NOT ungrateful, I am somewhat happy something has finally arrived, problem is its not what I agreed too, nor did I agree for anyone else to decide for me. So is it possible to get some control on what I want?

I don't mind about the colours not being available due to QA, but can I at least choose from what is available?

If another form was sent out asking this, I apologise for missing that, but I would of rather not received anything... to then have me then contact you complaining to then find I missed another change request because then I could of had the opportunity to change it again.

Hopefully I have made my self clear, cause if not expect a call in the morning! LOL!

Hi its my own personal exchange server, but please understand I totally get why its operating this way, my point is, as a developer my self, I take time to look at all scenarios within the confines of what the product will come across. And yes not all can be accounted for, but its easier when the product is already in the wild e.g. a Android phone that already has its functions available to to all to be known so this to be is unacceptable, but this is again just a oversight that I can resolve in time.

More importantly I have not received the rings I asked for!!

Well where do I start?!

• The rings that arrived where all wrong, not the ones I ordered at all. I was so confused at first I had to pull the original order email along with the follow up order when things where all over the place during manufacturing. I have sent an email to support replying to my original order so they can see the mistake they have made. I ordered a normal ring, stealth bomber, and a alpha. with various different colours, i got nothing of the sort in terms of colours, and yes i am aware that there are issues with stealth bombers and alphas etc.

• The NFC Unlock app is not straight forward, nor is the NFC Control Centre, needs to be straight to the point, no vague descriptions, in-fact the problem is the app trying to be to different, and does not fully comply with the everyday conventional flow of most apps. Nice in some ways confusing in others. This should get a do over.

• In the mean time I finally managed to save the "Visual Fail Ring" tag and find my sweet spot for my HTC One M7 (which is dead bang on the camera lens, great place to put a sweetspot sticker!) ... however my problem is this, My phone is set-up to my exchange 2010 server which sets it own security policy thus making the unlocking part a long winded 2 step process.
  I have to unlock the phone with my PIN, then use the ring.... Seriously?!!

• I'm sure the response will be its not the rings fault its because I am using Exchange, though to me that is unacceptable, so I will be seeing if there is a way around this.

• Hoping others experiences are better than mine, but considering the long wait and the disappointing result I am feeling very underwhelmed. The novelty wore off last year, so now I'm simply indifferent to it all... I can imagine my friends faces already as I was hyping this gadget since its launch, now they will be looking at my very sad face as I tell them what a flop this all was.
