Europe and NFC

Guys,anyone using NFC around europe?
What are the services accepting our GNEX?
I hope to start a useful collection thread.

Well, at least in Germany and as far as I know there are no payment services available.

No use of it in Norway. They have some test projects with nfc, but nothing that uses Google wallet
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

Nothing in the Netherlands as well.

I think you can use NFC to get Train Tickets. At least i always see these "put-your-phone-here-to-get-tickets-thingys" at the Stations.
Never used it though.

Did anybody have a look at McDonald's?
I think I saw some wireless counters...
But maybe I'm hallucinating

QR-code based. And you need to have an account on bahn.de, with credit card information stored.
(bahn.de (German))

QR is on your phone but to get the Ticket you use NFC

Didn't knew that. I'll definitely have to try that sometime.

You have to have an account though and ad your adress and paying method and all that. I always pay cash for tickets so i don't use it.
Basically you have to use the touchpoint on the trainstation where you start and finish and it generates the prize i guess. Ticket Inspectors scan the QR code on your phone to check the ticket.
Problem is when your battery runs out you are out of luck.

New galaxy nexus launch

I was wondering if Samsung will release a newer version of galaxy nexus? I know they plan to release S4 in february of 2013,but i didn't find anything about the nexus. Cheers

There's dozens of speculation threads on this. Didn't need a new one. Although there obviously will be a follow up to this flagship phone, official word is nonexistent at this point.
I777 gets it done, gnex just for fun

It's all rumors at this point. The S4 has officially been denied by Samsung for that release date. See here. The next Nexus device is purely speculation. We just have to wait to see what's up.

Sorry if this thread is the 100th of the same kind,but i don't have much time to search it. @Darunion I don't want the new galaxy nexus because of the brand. I've been uisng Samsung galaxy 3 for 2 years,and i think now it's time to try something different.I wanted to buy a nexus ,but asked this question to see is it a good idea to wait for the new model to come out or buy this one. I asked a question ,and i think it deserves a polite answer. Cheers

You don't have to search, just go to the General section. Every other thread is someone making sweeping speculations about the next Nexus based on absolutely nothing.
What it really comes down to is absolutely nothing out there right now gives any firm evidence that anything is happening. We'll see soon enough, but right now we have absolutely no idea what the future holds for another Nexus device. Its quite pointless to speculate right now.

Still, people will speculate about it, no matter if there's a hint or not...

When Can I Buy Asus Zenfone 2?

When it will release?

Asus stated at CES sometime in March of this year... They didn't state where or when exactly, but global roll-out often takes a few additional months (or longer) to pass all through all regulatory, distribution, and other legal issues.

I heard it might go on sale here in South Africa (probably a few other places too) 9th March. So tomorrow, fingers crossed!

eBay has it http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Zenfon...-5in-13MP-ZE550ML-2GB-RAM-Black-/171715609309

So yes you can buy it now. Although don't expect delivery until the end of the month or early next month.
However, you will be paying near on $100 premium to get it so early. Patience is a virtue.............
Oh, and it will probably only have LTE bands 3, 8, and 28 activated.

And with that said, it's safe to say that's the reason it's called the ->Zen<-fone as it challenges one's inner peace, hehe.

Just wait 2 more weeks. I rather buy it officially from Asus them self instead of greedy seller's.

I'd like to be able to buy from a local ASUS outlet too, but you got to think twice when they'll mark up the price just because they think we can all afford whatever they charge for it. Here in Australia I'm expecting the Zenphone 2 to be retailing for double the prices we're seeing in Taiwan. And even then it won't likely have all the Australian LTE network bands enabled.

What is Version 2?

While trying to sort thru IQ Sheild screen protectors and the lack of information regarding "Case Friendly", "EZ Install" and "Updated" and what doesn't appear on the boxes I now see on their website a "Version 2". At first I thought they were referring to the version of the protector but noticed the Note 7 pictured is different. It appears to have 2 additional lens just to the left of the speaker. I then saw the same phone on the Skinomi website, also called a Version 2.
http://www.skinomi.com/sk25906-samsung-galaxy-note-7-edge-phone-screen-protector.html
Anyone have a clue what this is about?

looks like a fake Note7

That's funny!

Looks like a 3D Camera if you ask me. I'll buy the Note 7.2 NOW then, where do I get mine?
Is this a CON, troll? 'ay?

Clearly Version 2 is either refurbished Note 7 with no battery defect or a brand new Note 7 with 6GB ram.

What does it say about these two companies (IQ Shield and Skinomi) advertising bogus devices?

Maybe its a cheap knock off of the Note and they made a screen protector for it cause its popular in some markets?

But they should say so. Don't call it a Version 2 of the genuine product. Very shady.

Costco states right now they are selling (version 2)... and i also ask what is version 2, that how i found this site. I dont believe Costco is scamming people.

the phone in the photo is a fake note 7, period.
look for " note 7 clone" in you tube, ther you will see, by the way, there is no 6GB ram version as rumored, v2 refers unnoficially to the safe note 7

Does it look like this? Or is just a case of a seller renaming a product?

is it safe to use Note 7 Hongkong Version SM-N9300?

Today Samsung requested all the Samsung Note 7 Owners to Switch off their phone and stop using it.

As far as I know the actual recall is currently in the US only (Not Australia, according to Samsung. I asked them) however I'd guess it's going to be worldwide very soon. And this includes all the replacement ones that were deemed "safe".
So, your Note 7 will /probably/ be recalled soon enough. Nobody can tell if your phone is safe though. Impossible to know.

Samsung Hong Kong just announced earlier for all people with HK Note 7s to stop using and return the phone. To be honest, the potential battery problem ALWAYS included China and HK phones, Samsung's HK and China divisions were just shady as hell and kept selling on September 2 when Samsung headquarters first announced they made a huge mistake. Samsung HK has been getting killed online by people for weeks for seemingly apathy. I'm surprised they acted so soon this time to echo what the rest of the world is doing.
so long story short, no, your HK note is included in the call for return. All note 7s are. the phone is done.

Well my Note 7 is perfectly fine. The battery and everything is perfectly fine. NO HEAT ISSUE. i am trying to contact the person who sold it to me to check what the supplier stand on this.
Anyways thanks everyone.

I just wonder the problem is not the battery but rather the processor.
The one in China are not exynos which produce more heat

The Recall is GLOBAL, as in INTERNATIONAL. NO SAMSUNG NOTE 7 IS SAFE! RETURN IT!

Seems to me this forum is frequented by Samsung-haters and/or trolls.
