is it sim-unlocked?

Hi
Could you tell me if the phone is able to show the 576MB of memory? It should be in the 'About Phone' menu options. The last I remember is that this was a kernel fix and most of the custom ROM's now have a fix for it.

Those details aren't within the "About Phone" area im afraid - cant find them anywhere.. Hardware Info only shows Wifi Mac Address and Bluetooth Address.

Damn that AMOLED screen looks amazing :drool:
Will be the first time I see/own a AMOLED screen. Somewhere in April I will be getting the Desire.. enjoying my HD2 until I sell it.

Just received mine from T-Mobile today as well, though noticed that there is no voice search built in...any suggestions on how to add this? Looking for a suitable apk atm (if any rom chefs have it to hand it would be much appreciated!)

Ok mate, many thanks for your help with this. I had a nexus one which didn't initially show full memory, but now there is a patch which lets the OS see it all and use it. I am expecting that that fix is already in the kernel.
Thanks, enjoy your phone; I will, on monday..

Hi guys,
I just registered but been reading these boars for a little while.
I was wondering if someone who just got the phone could tell me the exact size of the screen (in cm or mm if possible).
I ordered screen protectors from Germany, got them today but they look too small for the phone. Since I don't have mine yet (not until April 5th), I need to confirm or infirm that they sent me the wrong size.
Thanks guys!

I can tell you the answer to this - because i bought the same screen protectors .
Yes they are to small.. Completely useless purchase.

Also, can't seem to find a way to kill Sense...wanted to check out vanilla Android 2.1 but if I remove the defaults from HTC Sense and kill the app it just restarts...

Hey guys could you tell me which ebay user you bought the protectors from? I have ordered some too and my desire is coming on monday...
I bought from protectionfilms24, if they're too small I'll have to complain!
Thanks

Thats the one bud - rip off.. I cba chasing a refund for the sake of £2.50, as it'll mean sending them back.

Yup, they're the same ones I got as well, same Ebay seller.
Bummer, now I wonder where to find good ones. Maybe the official ones on play.com?

Same thing as the HTC Hero -
http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/22/how-to-turn-off-htc-sense/

shucks. what a rip off!! I think I'll go to play.com to order the official ones then. On another note, is everyone who's unlocking pretty much stuck on doing it through t-mobile then?

I emailed the seller, they said they're gonna check if they didn't send me the wrong size. They replied only a couple of hours after I emailed them so I guess they're pretty trustworthy, at least on this.
Just fyi, the protectors I have are 52*31 mm in size.

Faulty note 7 batch

My Samsung Galaxy Note7 was manufactured in Vietnam on August 26th? I got the Note7 from Three UK, does that mean I am unaffected?

Seems dubious to me could be wrong but why single out one supplier (ebay seller?) bad wording errors if that was the case then why is it not posted on Samsung's sites.

Well, could be any number of reasons, maybe it just got released internally?, no idea. It does makes more sense to me that those devices affected can be identified by some sort of triage, rather than recalling all devices (which semed odd since the start). I followed the QR code and it des link to samsung website. I am not saying that this is 100% true, but it does make sense. Posted this to stop the massive Note 7 abuse before someone may regret it

I agree, this is a badly written letter and looks completely fake.
.

I am not convinced quite yet.

It's badly written because it's written by Asians? Perhaps?
I am Asian by the way. And this is fine. I've seen far worse letters than this.

I don't disagree.
However, I'd wait for tomorrow. It's the weekends here, so I'll look out for Monday for any kind of announcement.

I would really hope that this company wouldn't fake an internal letter like this. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung took a faked letter like this extremely seriously considering the circumstances. So I'm on the fence in this one but really hope someone wouldn't take that chance. It has a customer number on it. Someone could easily call Samsung and get this verified.

Fake. There is no chance they would publicly announce a world wide recall, then a day later say 'Oops, we mean world wide recall. Except for this batch of phones. Our bad.' If they where wrong about that batch of phones they would get crucified. Nope, that seller just doesn't want to deal with the headache of returning all the units they sold, and returning all that money.

So if you bought from this seller you stuck with the phone you have or file a case with eBay and get your money back since you're within 30day eBay return policy and buy another device when they are fixed. That's your only two choices.

My UK Note7 pre-order was canceled on the 1st Sept, so I'm waiting to see if Samsung can narrow down affected batches and release the unaffected devices...
If you want to check the date your Note 7 or any Samsung device was manufactured type this into the phone dialer *#12580*369# the "RF Cal" field is the date of device manufacture, if that information even helps in anyway Im not sure yet.

A worldwide recall is just that. Every phone that was sold. This letter is total BS.

This is one of many reasons why eBay just even an option to buy stuff for me. If it isnt Amazonable then it's not worth it, I get you want a deal and access to unlocked devices and whatnot but eBay has and will always be that "scummy dark alley" place for sellers, and by the looks of this letter (which looks so sketchy) this is another prime example of that. I wouldn't trust this at all, looks like he's just wants to keep his money and not deal with returns.

Yes. If it were real, Samsung should fire their PR. You don't go anouncing a worldwide recall and then say whoops, we didn't mean it. And wait a whole weekend to correct it. This is a huge blow for them and it is exceptionally hard on us customers worrying we might have ticking time bombs in our possesion. If they back out of their statement after a weekend of not caring, they will ruin their reputation further. They will appear non credible. Excuse me but exploding phones warrant Samsung managment and PR works all weekend!

I agree. This letter is fake. It's a (mostly) well done fake, but a fake. IMO, it's Tropical trying to keep from having to take back all the phones they've sold.

In the US and the EU they would have little choice, in Singapore I'm not sure if they can weasel out of it or not.
I've already received my email from Amazon saying that they will send a full refund for the phone and any accessories I have purchased there. It was not this seller (Tropical) but of course as an FD model it is grey market and was sold without warranty. The email also said that if I sold the phone I should notify the person I sold it to so that they can return it for a refund. Lastly it stated that the return hadn't been hashed out yet and not to send it until they were ready.
I'm going to extrapolate a little here with a few guesses. The fact that Amazon also specifically mentioned a further buyer and my phone is already grey market implies that Samsung is going after all the phones regardless of where/how they were purchased. That they don't want me to send it yet gives me the impression they don't know exactly what they are going to do with it or how the process will go which would mean Samsung hasn't yet hashed it out internally how they will handle the grey market phones and given that information to those that sold them.
Those are guesses Gents, I have no special knowledge, I'm just reading the tea leaves.

I bought my phone from LuLu Mall here from Riyadh ( SA ).
Model is : SM N930FD
Made in Vietnam.
How we can confirm that my phone will also come under the recall process ? I have been using the device for like past 3 days and i don't feel any Lag, battery drain or Over heating while charging or using the phone.

Trade in via Samsung, packaging for old phone?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else opted to trade in a phone as part of Samsung's website offer? I did, and was expecting to get some return packaging for the old phone alongside the new, but didn't. A Samsung FAQ says don't use the S9 return packaging, so does the trade in packaging arrive separately?
Thanks!

Got a response from Samsung on Facebook - return packaging comes separately for the trade in phones!

I would recommend taking photos of your phone before shipping it back. You do not want to be advised of a different value for the phone when it is received.

I got my S9 from the Samsung Upgrade Program, the box the S9 came in is the same box I returned my S7 in. I put the boxed S7 in (no accessories like charger etc.) and it has a bit of sticky tape to re-seal the box, there was also a return shipping label in the box. I just dropped it at my local DPD pickup point.
And as Bxrider117 says, take pictures of everything.

Ah, I'd be careful there. That box is to return the S9 if you don't want it... It specifically says not to use it for that on their site...

I glad I read this, I found my email in the spam folder. I been waiting for something from samsung to tell me what to do with the trade in phone .

I am still waiting to get my tracking number on my S9 that I pre-ordered on March 6th from Samsung. I called today and said I would be getting a tracking number by email and that the return box would be sent separate

hello

For anyone that made the same mistake as me and sent it back using the return label and box that came with your S9, it is so painful to sort it out!
I have called Samsung Support (UK) 3 times and been on hold for an hour+ each time. 2 of the calls just cut off and one answered, I could hear people talking for a couple of minutes and then they hung up. The online live chat was useless and they were not understanding my issue at all, one agent told me to speak to the courier (the courier couldn't help) and then I finally got through to one who listened, spoke to the returns centre, the courier and extended my return deadline. They advised that they will email me in 5-7days to let me know if they managed to get the phone sent to the right place or possibly returned back to me.

Anybody actually got their return packaging sent yet?
Still waiting here...

No, I emailed them today and got a reply that stated "The seven day window has been extended so please send back once you receive your pack.This should arrive by the end of this week, if it doesn’t please give us a call to organise another one to be sent out. "

I am still waiting sent them an email today asking where it is.

I traded in my S7 with broken glasses on both front and back for 0,50€ + 100€ bonus.

Got a reminder email from the samsung recycle programme this morning stating I had not returned my phone. I followed up with a Live chat session with the samsung recycle helpdesk , and they said this was an automated email and they know there are delays in the packs going out and ship it when you receive the pack.

Sign into your Samsung account. Navigate to your orders page. There is a link for the return label for the device you are trading in. Use same box that the S9 came in and ship your trade-in with the label provided in the order page. Unless as others have mentioned, there may be delays at Samsung sending out return package specifically for your trade-in. I wouldn't doubt that with the issues they've already had sending Verizon sims to Sprint customers. (BTW, S9 SIMs are unique to S9, you can't re-use SIMs specific to other devices).

Has anyone received their returns pack yet? I am still waiting and have emailed them twice now. I dont want to get charged for next month's payment.

got mine on Monday

The instructions say to send it back in the same box that the new phone came in.

ATTENTION! Don't buy from autostereo.com.cn (ZWNAV, ZWAUTONAVIGATION)

Just be carefull with this seller on Aliexpress (ZWNAV), Ebay (Zwautonavigation), Web (autostereo.com.cn)!
Support is terrible, they are not listen, not reading emails, fake product description, you can forget warranty.
I have problem with cold joint touch screen, they sold me another screen without digitizer and not IPS.
So avoid them as much as you can!

I am having the same problem with this seller (AutoStereo).
My auto DVD is under warranty, I had problems with the operating system and can not solve with the seller.

Good morning, I also bought an android radio in this company, and they have also deceived me, first with a tracking that did not have any transport company, but it came to me, that if it worked badly from the beginning, and since yesterday it no longer has sound, I have read a lot, it hurts not to have looked before, and to make the purchase through Paypal, I bought in Aliexpress and we will see why they asked me to remove the dispute and remove it and now I can not put another one, time has passed, like this That we will see, do not buy from it, sure scam.

I have also bought a car stereo from them. I have chosen the right one for my car and paid it via paypal. They asked me for my car model and told me that it is the wrong model and i should have to pay another 150$ to get the right model. I said that i will cancel my order and buy the right one. The said, that would take too much time ich should pay them directly to their paypal account. I did not do that. Then they gave me another link with the exact amount of the price difference and told me to pay this link. I paid it via paypal and three weeks later i recieved the car stereo. It has been the wrong model. I contacted them and said i want to return the stereo to them and want a full refund on both payments. No reaction. I open two disputes for the one product. They contacted me and said, if i gave them a 15 star review for both payments, they would fuly refund me when i return the stereo. Time passed, nothing happened. When you remind them on their promises they only answer with "ok"
I opened two paypal cases for this stereo. They refused to refund me, because if you have two payments for one product there is no buyerprotection.
Now i have a stereo that does not fit my car, lost a lot of money and the seller once more scammed another customer.
Do NOT buy anything from them!!

Good afternoon, I forgot to say that they also have another name, AOTSR, and they also appear on various sites, Amazon, Ebay and Aliexpress, they are the same Zwnav. Now that I continue with the problems, the last thing they have told me is that I broke the team, of course they are scoundrels.

OH WELL too late for me , i purchased it soo expensive and no replies. before used to said, " email the engineers" im sure the engineer is a lab rat that never replies.
i messed up my ZLINK and the Zwnav. dont even respond .
i wanted to downgrade to android 9 but never helped .

I had a sad experience with ZWNAV,too!I paid 2 Media players Tesla style 4GB+128Gb ROM but they sent 2 Media players 4Gb+64Gb ROM for Ford Mondeo,2017,SYNC 3,without informing me what he send,they motivated that what I paid I do not go on my car!!!They was mounted by the specialized company and the surprise and more unpleasant was to see that it works only partially!
Does not work bluetooth, does not work radio and does not show information from CAN !
About a month I still talk to them to me the correct firmware for my car and refuse under various pretexts, these guys lie as they breathe!(contact person Irene Zhou)
And I'm of the opinion not to buy from the company ZWNAV, are completely out of trouble, do not care about customers after i have tricked to buy from them!!!

hola, es correcto. El Soporte es muy malo, se desentienden a todo.
Mod Edit: English Translation Below
hello, that's right. The Support is very bad, they ignore everything.

Yes AOTSR have terrible customer service, they will stop replying to messages as soon as they get your money, I tried contacting them for help with one of their units and they completely ignore you.

Question IMEI 00000

Hii have a zfold 4 f936b bought from eBay.
It says IMEI is 00000000 and when I insert sim nothing happens.
Any idea what are my options ? Some people say is a demo phone but it don't look like some other says the user trying to root it but failed. Obviously eBay seller won't take any responsibility
Look forward for your comments.

when you bought the phone. was it specified in the ebay description that the phone is faulty/locked/imei probelm/etc? was it ":buy as is"? if yes, then you might be in a bit of a pickle of trying to complain/return it. however, if the description said the phone was fine and had no issues: how long ago was the purchase? if you paid by paypal, i believe you have 45 days from the day you paid to lodge a dispute.

Will take a look

Sorry, meant to respond but was in out of service area..
Yeah, you were ripped off... Someone has done something that has wiped the IMEI number. Unfortunately it is a mother to fix, if it can be (Might lose IMEI everytime the phone is reset).
Been years since I had to play around with that and the programs I used to use probably don't work anymore, if I even had them backed up anywhere...
Unfortunately this is the risk of buying off Ebay.

May be a demo phone, all demo devices sent to retailers have no IMEI ie 00000..
Probably snatched from a TMO or VZW and reflashed.

That's neither here nor there.
All retailers (Best Buy, Walmart, etc), cellular providers, and the rest are sent demo phones with no modems to try and alleviate the chance of a snatch & grab.
Chances are extremely high it's one of those devices.

Lol, it's not here but it's there... return it. Otherwise you have a parts queen or play Android roulette and buy a used working mobo. Or buy a new mobo.

Even your 2 imei is 000000?
