Refurbished already?

So I had to get a replacement phone and they sent me one through customer service, now how do I know if its refurbished. The shipping weight shows it being .80lbs. I dont even know if its possible to even have refurbished ones this soon. What do you all think?

Refurbished are guaranteed to be the same quality as new so if it isn't send it back.

consider how many people bought the phone, even though it's only been out a few weeks. there's going to be messed up ones, of course. there may also be new ones as well, if they run out of refurbs. like the above poster said, not to worry, as they're just as good as new.

fake samsung s3 cheap
why samsung s3 phone made in china? galaxy note made from Korea.......

I had to exchanged my phone like 2 Weeks ago. I got a new one, just the phone though. Did you ask the representative if its new or refurbished?

Well....
#1. The shipping weight is low because it is not coming with battery or any accessories, not even a battery door. Just the phone.
#2. There is a possibility it is refurbished, and there is a MMI code ##RTN# that displays whether it is refurbed or not. Has to be 100% stock to see, so don't flash anything.
#3. Hit thanks, and let us know your findings

[Q] Samsung OEM i9250 digitizer assembly: Where to buy?

I am trying to find a Samsung OEM Galaxy Nexus i9250 Black Full LCD Display with Touch Screen
Digitizer Assembly. I see several "compatible" ones on Ebay (not Super Amoled), but I cannot find
a genuine Samsung OEM digitizer with the exception of a couple of Chinese sites that I am not sure
I could trust. I contacted Samsung and they advised me that they do not sell parts to consumers.
Has anyone tried any of the digitizers for sale on Ebay?

I bought one from eBay couple of months ago to replace my wife's broken screen after i was quoted 300$ from local shops. I got it for 180$ and replace it myself. Have no problems with it since then, it actually looks better than my Galaxy Nexus that has the original one, much better colors.

Thanks for the feedback. I had seen some comments on other message boards where a couple of people who had
used digitizers bought on ebay were not pleased with the display. I am happy to hear of your positive experience,
so I may take a second look at buying one off Ebay, if I am unable to locate a Samsung OEM digitizer. Who was the
seller on Ebay that you purchased from?

Samsung replaced my screen for $191.60 with free shipping on the way back.
Once they received it, they gave it to ups in 4 business days.

I did contact Samsung, but my Galaxy Nexus is a UK GSM phone that I purchased from Expansys USA. Samsung USA will not support or repair my phone in any way. I then contaced Samsung in the UK and they advised me that they would not repair my phone because I do not live in the UK. I contacted Expansys USA to see if they could send the phone to Samsung UK for repair on my behalf, and they said the charge would be between $200.00 and $300.00. I thought it was odd that he quoted me an estimated cost with that wide of a range. The Expansys representative did not seem very interested in my problem.
I was anxious to get my Galaxy Nexus when it was first released, and that is why I purchased it from Expansys USA. I see now why some people cautioned me about buying from importers. I will never buy another phone from an importer.

[Q] I got my new note II, but is it fake?

I bought my note II off of amazon and got it yesterday. But something's been bothering me all along
1. There were no seals on the box that came, except for a one that was put on my the seller.
2. Most of the unlocked samsung phones I got were made in Korea. This was made in China,
3. I checked my IMEI number and the7th and 8th digits are 05, and I don't even know which country that is.
4. I can see that the seller carefully took off some sticker that was originally on the packaging.
The most bothersome is that the seal was not there. I know from all previous samsung phones that they come with seals of authenticity. And now I can't even get a full return since I opened it. Should I still be suspicious of this phone and return it? (The restocking fee is small)

Inspect the handset thoroughly. Run it through some strenuous benchmarks like AnTuTu, CF-Bench, or Quadrant repeatedly; put it under load to see if it's stable and doesn't crash/reboot. Look for physical/water damage, hairline scratches and cracks. Go over the thing CSI style; and if you find no fault(s) and/or defect(s), I'd say keep it. Then again, if you've just got one of those feelings, you may be better off returning it. You may have gotten a refurbished handset or one that someone else returned, but it doesn't sound like you got a fake. Also, I have heard stories like yours too many times to count. It's always the same.
i.e. "I ordered a Samsung Galaxy such and such from Amazon last week. Today, when it finally came, I opened up the shipping package to discover that the product's box had already been opened and that the Samsung tamper seal had been broken. Did I get a fake and/or used phone, tablet, etc.?"
If it's any consolation, your experience seems to be the norm on Amazon. Also, when you're in the U.S. and order an international handset, sometimes the seller breaks the seal and opens the box to remove the European, or Asian, or whatever power adapter was in there and replace it with a North American power adapter. Did your GT-N7100 come with a North American A.C. power adapter?

It came with the American Adapter. also, I checked with Samsung on the IMEI and serial number. They don't seem to recognize the IMEI or the serial number. Do you think that this signifies anything?

now that sounds realllll fishhy.

Write amazon and return it saying that Samsung doesn't recognize the devices serial number and that there was no seal on the box and you'd simply like to return it.
Did you get it from Amazon directly or from a seller dealer online selling through Amazon? I see the merchant program to be exactly like ebay. Suspicious in every way. I usually don't buy expensive electronics from eBay for that reason, you just never know. I leave screen protector and cases and other simple things to ebay and amazon direct for really important things. Or even stores gotta support real stores too sometimes if they're similarly priced.

Samsung.com or samsung.com/uk or samsung.com/cn ?
If your phone from China check Samsung. com/cn
And other thing it can't be fake for $650. Sellers open boxs only to change wall charger. Im sure 60% of people will leave bad feedbacks because charger got another standard.

That doesn't really mean much. It's an import, so Samsung US wouldn't have that info. Do an IMEI lookup online and see what info you get.
This'll tell you what model phone you have. Insert IMEI.

Samsung USA has never officially released n7100/7105 in USA. North American models are different but there are many American users with international version Note 2s. The International version of Note 2s are acquired by indirect route or third party. So they do not have it in the Samsung USA database.

Upload some pictures of it? people on here will be able to tell if its a fake or not, I had the same problem with ebay with the galaxy nexus. would tell me no sim is inserted and after a while i put in the manual apn setting and it finally registered that there was a sim in the phone. but that something completely different from your case. if it is fake hope you get a full refund as mine refused to refund me so i had to open a dispute and still never got a refund as id opened the box. good luck

The open box does not necessarily mean it's a fake. But it may be a returned item. Did all the accessory come in their original packaging? As for the phone itself if it's a knock off of it will most probably not have JB. And as another user suggested a simple benchmark test will tell you if you have a genuine note. And if its a knock off with same performance of the original..... Well its a knock off you want to keep!!! Looool

OMG Is my P605 a fake.

Just checked over my device and some you tube video posts.. a few things.
I got the P605 from ATGSM.com.
The box was sealed with sticker and all.
Inside the box there were no replacement stylus tips (as seen in all the you tube reviews)
Also the box does not look like any of the boxes i see in the reviews. I take it that the version they shipped me is originally the Hong Kong.
There were no specs on the box.
Did I get a fake...a clone....... What do I do now. I can post a pic of the box if you need to see it.
I need some serious help. I paid over $700 for this device. I just want to make sure its the real deal. Especially seeing how there are so many fakes out there. Please help.

Your box is not the same as the one in these video's, so I see what you are talking about. Besides the extra tips was anything else missing or different is your box? Your tamper sticker looks like it was placed over another one, what do you think when you look at it?

I bought a P605 via Negri Electronics a couple of weeks ago, and it was in an identical box to the one in your picture. My box also didn't have any spare stylus tips. Also had a Hongkong style adapter, which Negri provided a US adapter in the outer package.
I suppose the HK version just doesn't come with spare tips?
It seems real to me.

I bought my N-8000 and SM-P601 from Negri and had no issues. The only problems I heard regarding the N3 and Negri was that some carrier devices they sold, mostly T-Mobile, that had their IMEI's reported stolen after people received them and started using them. Since Negri doesn't build devices and most of what they sell is grey market and imported from other countries they are kind of at the mercy of their suppliers. As far as I know they stood behind the devices with bad IMEI's and replaced or refunded them. If you're in the U.S. and buying a SM-P601/5, no matter who you're buying it from, you're taking a chance as to its origins, condition, and country of sale (which can't be the U.S. because neither is sold here). And know that none of them have a Samsung warranty because they're grey market. Negri, Expansys, and NewEgg are the biggest sellers of Samsung grey market devices in the U.S. and I've purchased from all three. My experiences have been fine but I've heard complaints (some horror stories) on all three. With grey market goods there's no such thing as Best Buy. And Amazon doesn't count; all their unlocked devices are sold via marketplace sellers.

I'd read the thread before I bought my P-601 from them. All their Samsung HSPA devices come from the Samsung dealer in Trinidad. They had the P601 before anyone else reselling them in the U.S. did and it arrived in its shrink wrap and was perfect. The shrink wrapped Trinidadian N-8000 I got last year arrived with a bad display. Negri paid return shipping and overnighted me a new one (which was perfect). I asked where their LTE P-605's came from and they said Asia. I personally am not interested in any Asian-sourced imports because the s/w and Hub access are funky when used in the U.S. Software wise, Trinidad and Latin America are the most compatible. That's why I got a P-601. When people ask me where to buy Samsung grey market devices I mention the three company's above. I share my experiences (and the horror stories, lack of warranty, and other risks) and tell them to avoid PayPal (Amazon Payments is an option with Negri) and use a "customer friendly" credit card like Amex. I'm sorry some people got burned over the N3 but it doesn't change my positive experiences.

Same problem but got the solution.

[Q] LG G3 SIM Connector Replacement?

One of the pins broke off of the SIM connector whilst using a SIM adaptor and I was wondering where I might get a replacement? I have looked online briefly and I can't really find much replacement parts for this phone yet, unless I am looking in the wrong places?
I remember this happened to my SGS I-9000 and the part only cost like £5 from eBay and was modular so I am hoping this one will be as easy to replace too!
**UPDATE: It seems that unless you are an expert with a solder (and I mean expert!) then you will not be able to replace this part since it is soldered on to the circuit board rather than a modular part, so I am putting a list of places recommended by posters where you can get your G3 repaired.

On a Google search, it seems that this is a common issue with these adapters, especially cheap ones, and other people have had the same problem too. I had figured too that due to the phone being new, there are basically no substantial source of spare parts that I can find as of yet..

Has anyone found out if the warranty will cover that and if not how much the repair is?

You can try to claim from the actual store you bought it from rather than the LG warranty as that would be quicker but otherwise it's about a £45 repair from the sites that are offering it.
Actually, I never owned the phone but saw one on eBay that I was considering buying that had this fault but I really cannot understand why no one on here has bought the £5 LG G2 SIM part from eBay (as I had mentioned a month ago on here) to see if that one fits as if it doesn't work then you have not lost anything! That would have been the 1st thing I would have done if it happened to me as I am no way paying £45 for basically a ~50p part which I can just repair myself since all phones are modular these days.
....What kind of idiots own this phone?!

Well, I have mine on 2 year warranty and will try to get it fixed through the authorized service shop first. Will see how that goes. If it is too expensive I will search for alternatives.
