    Always thought these were waaay to expensive to start with.

      Please don't get any of the Chinese bluetooth trackers - the apps accompanying them are so atrocious that I binned one after a day.

      With these Tile trackers it's the quality of the app you're paying for, not the tracker. Sometimes there are deals with single Tiles on Trademe as it's cheaper for Kiwis to ship a 4-pack from Amazon, but most people don't need that many.

      • Jaxson on 12/01/2017 - 16:38

        Fully agree. Lots of reports of apps and devices viewing websites for bitcoins back to the developer from your network/data plan etc.
        Just saying you are paying a lot for a piece of plastic and an app.

    i could never understand the non-replacable battery on these. anyone tried the trackR?

      trackR

      Garbage. The noise it makes can barely be heard across the room, and that wasn't a big room.

        cheers

    • Avantime on 12/01/2017 - 15:32

      It's their business model.

      The battery on the older Tiles can be replaced if you don't mind using a dremel tool, a soldering iron and a bit of cellotape.

      • nzmax on 12/01/2017 - 15:36

        Can this not be done on the newer models? It isn't particularly environmentally friendly IMO for the battery not to be replaceable. SO I will try to replace the battery in mine if it isn't too diffcult, although my battery is still going after 1.5 years. Mine is a second gen.

        • Avantime on 12/01/2017 - 16:11

          They use non standard batteries for the newer slim models, and there are reports that newer versions of the Tile app are disabling trackers that are considered 'active' for too long. (i.e. Far beyond the standard battery life for these trackers)

          For them it's all about money, they're forcing consumers to buy new trackers every year or so.

        • nzmax on 15/01/2017 - 15:14

          @Avantime: Pretty sure it did say somewhere in their help system that they would never disable a tracker. If they were doing that, that would be pretty terrible, as people paid for the device, and you should be able to change the battery if you want to open it up to do so. Imagine if Apple did that with an iphone, and disabled any device where a third party had changed the battery, and it had been used for too long..

          EDIT: This page on their help system says they won't disable a tracker, as they say they 'don't control the lifespan'

          https://support.thetileapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/200550678-R…

          Do you turn off my Tile? Does it stop working at exactly one year?

          We do not control the lifespan of your Tile. The battery is guaranteed to last a full year. You'll be surprised to know, however, many Tiles last longer than that. However, we cannot guarantee it, so it's covered by our worry-free warranty for those 12 months from activation!

        • Rowjo on 15/01/2017 - 15:58

          @nzmax: Apple did do something like that though, if you fixed your phone with 3rd party parts some software thing tripped and did something, they no longer do (problems with people in poorer parts of the world fixing em and them not working), but Ill have a look for the article and edit my comment with it.

          Oh, look at that, second result of "third party repair apple": http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35502030

          It was a big deal for like a week, I remember hearing it on the radio

    • stinky111 on 12/01/2017 - 15:55

      Have not used trackR but have used Chipolo (http://www.harveynorman.co.nz/phone-and-gps/mobile-phone-acc…)

      They're ok. The 1st gen's batteries didn't last very long (~1mo) but the battery's just a button cell and so can be replaced anytime. Their claiming the latest gen will last up to 6mos.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/01/2017 - 17:10

      Dont get a TrackR, after about month most of mine stopped working (only work after pressing the button on them)

      • nzmax on 15/01/2017 - 15:22

        Was it one of the old ones, or one of the new gen ones?

        • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2017 - 15:58

          TrackR Bravos

  • nzmax on 12/01/2017 - 15:34

    I have one of the older ones I purchased for review, and found them limited. You have to be in bluetooth range for it to work. If connecting to another device over wifi, to show it on a map, they work best in a city with a high concentration, and other people who also have the app and their own tile. Also the battery does last for many months after the year has run out, as mine is still going. The app nags you to replace it, which is very annoying. They really need to bring out a user replaceable battery version. I mean many fitness bands use the same type of battery, which has to be replaced after a year, as do watches. You don't throw out the watch or fitness band after a year.

    What is the cost to retile?

    • nzmax on 16/01/2017 - 16:08

      Do they offer retiling in NZ? I think you just have to buy a new one, as probably not economic to send back to the US.

      • kiwijunglist on 16/01/2017 - 23:47

        website suggests they do offer it in NZ, but no mention of price.
