Not 2 on 3 mobile - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Can anyone with a Note 2 brought directly from 3 tell me if the handset is locked to 3 plus have 3 branded software on it please?
I currently have an unbranded Note 2 on Orange which I bought from Carphone Warehouse but since Orange switched everything to EE I have had next to no signal at my home address so I'm in dispute with them of cancelling early, so I've took out a contract with 3 and it's being delivered today but I've been told I cannot open it to see if it's unbranded in-case I have to return it etc!
If someone could reply back to let me know it would be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

I bought one in a 3 store. Can't tell you if it's locked (I don't have a spare micro-sim) but it definitely is not branded, and the rom is stock.

Thanks for the info, if it's unbranded then I'm cool with that as that's my main pet hate, branded software on phones! I can always get it unlocked in future!
Cheers

Got a Vodafone TP2..and questions :-)

Hi all,
Got a TP2 from Vodafone UK this week. Realy liking the device so far, infact it's probably the first WM phone I have used in ages that I have not splattered with apps just to make it usefull!
My main gripe with Vodafone so far is that the colour scheam they have shosen for the TouchFlow is 'Vodafone Red' with black so the message count bubbles are totaly unreadable!
Anyway, one strange this with this device is that I seem to have lost the ability to use HTMP email format and also the ability to flag messages etc... I have been told that this is a Vodafone 'thing' so that you want to use their email services... So does anyone know how to turn this back on ???
Thanks

I have a few questions if you don't mind:
Is the actual phone Vodafone branded in any way, or is it just the software?
Also, did you get it from a Vodafone shop, or was it delivered to your home?
I'm interested in getting one from Voda soon, what deal did you get it on, and did you have to pay much for the handset?
Cheers - hope you're enjoying the phone ;-)

No, it's HTC branded just voda build of the firmware....for now
Got it delivered direct from Voda, Most of the high street shops will not stock them because of their value
No idea on deals because it is on my company package so it works totaly differently
Hope this helps.

Mine should have been delivered from Vodafone today, but it has been delayed until tomorrow.
I got it from the Vodafone business site and it is available for free on any tariff from £30pm (+VAT) I'm getting 500 mobile minutes, 250 texts, unlimited internet and unlimited landline calls - or I will be when it turns up!! It is shown as coming soon on the site but if you eing up they have them in stock
Someone on Beasty's "A Dream just walked in" thread got theirs yesterday and it has a Vodafone theme and a little Vodafone sign on it apparently. I will let you know what mine is like when I get it
Seems very tempting, I may leave T-mob for this!
Do you know what the Vodafone business support is like if the phone goes faulty? I know with T-mob I got next day swap-out, and wonder if Vodafone offer this too?
Also, do you know if it's supplied unlocked?

Got mine from Vodafone yesterday and it is dual-branded. HTC at top of screen and Vodafone at the bottom. I agree on the colour scheme as I changed my Pro to black, but the calendar is different on the Pro 2 and I can't seem to find a suitable alternative - any suggestions appreciated.
BTW, my initial impressions are that this phone is a BIG improvement on the Pro and well worth the upgrade.

I got one of two HTC Tilt2 (same t7373 number) from the same link. But it was for an AT&T upgrade so it wasnt open to any carrier when i got it. It has the G-Sensor. Im guessing the G-sensor is a standard for this phone.
(oh, i got mine for 1 penny with upgrade compared to att wanting to charge 199 for an "upgrade"... lol)
yea you bought it for one penny because its for at&t, I bought it for $239

yep, mu3,. but still, you got a great deal on yours! especially for an unlocked phone where you can use for any carrier with sim card. I think i am going the route you have taken for my next phone buddy.

Hi
I just got a Wildfire S from Phones 4U today for £145 on 3.
All the phones they supply are unlocked. Make sure you ask for one on 3 though as that is the only network they supply it at that price for.

Unlock Irish Galaxy Note II

Hi guys,
I am due to get the Note II tomorrow on the Irish carrier Vodafone. I'm travelling to the USA next week for a month and so I will need it unlocked. Is there an app or similar way to carrier unlock it like there is with the Samsung Galaxy S III? I will go down the route of paying for the unlock code if necessary but I would rather not as the Note II itself is costing me €450!!
Cheers,
M
I'm on vodafone in the UK. It came factory unlocked.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 through the Space Time Continuum
mine came unlocked from carphone warehouse. Let us know if it comes unlocked or locked.
I will indeed guys I truly am hoping against hope mine will be unlocked as well as that would be so handy! Have any of you flashed a stock UK ROM after rooting as I hate all the useless bloat Vodafone put on their devices!!
Cheers,
M
Edit: It arrived early guys and it's locked So what are my options?? Really am disappointed!!
Update: Called Vodafone and they gave me the unlock code Have you guys noticed on auto brightness the setting seems just a little bit too dim??

Dubai note 7 recall?? HELP

Alright... So basically... I was on holidays in Dubai over the last few weeks. And, over there, I was lucky enough to buy a note 7 SM-N930FD, from an official Samsung store. I had bought the phone on the 28th of august.. before the recall. Now I'm back home, in the UK, reading about the note 7 recall and have absolutely no idea how to proceed. I don't want to send my note 7 back to Dubai because I'll have no phone in the meantime and it just seems like a lengthy process. Is there a way that I can maybe get my device exchanged here in the UK? Or what are my other options?

Samsung UK are being pressed to replace the handsets with local variants. If you don't mind a UK variant you should have no problems. (Initially Samsung refused to swap at all!)
A few have said that Samsung service providers are exploring swapping out for the same model but I can't see that working. Most companies of the world only swap out a device for the local variant available in the country you're doing the exchange.
contact Samsung is your best bet......
accept the local variant, thats all
The fastest way is to directly contact a Samsung
Its easy tho, I purchased note 7 from Kuwait now I am in India (my home country). Here, Samsung delayed sale of note 7 that means till now no official launch of note 7 nor they have started any recall (obvious, they haven't sell single note 7 here). Now my question is how should I go for replacement? Help

Thanks, fortunately one of my friend went Kuwait today so I send my phone with him. :victory:
Got a call from Samsung UK. Basically stated they can swap the dual sim phone for the one sold in europe so single sim - coral blue or black.
Asked about getting the dual sim as replacement and they said I would have to sort it out with the region the phone is bought from - so Qatar in my case.
Might just get the UK version with its two year warranty
