[Q] Should I sell Korean Note 2 4G/LTE (SHV-E250S) ? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I busted the screen on a month old Korean Note 2, and because it's a Korean version I can't get it fixed in the UK.
Do any of you know roughly how much I might get for it if I sold it?
A 64Gb version of the same model just sold for about £760 on ebay, which i think was bonkers. Mines the 32Gb, do you think I'd get enough to take a chunk out of the price of an N7105? It's in perfect working order apart from the cracked screen.
Thanks ..

If you list it on a free listing day you can get an accurate answer to your question at no cost & you have no obligation to sell it at the bid price .. but its better to add a starting price at the minimum you will accept.
Your saying the LCD isn't broken, just the front glass.

I don't understand how I'd have no obligation to sell .. unless you mean it doesn't meet its reserve price. Does no listing fees mean you dont get charged for putting a reserve price on it?
The LCD / touchscreen / digitiser are working fine, it's just the glass thats broken.

When they are offering free listing weekends on alot of categories they let you put a starting price for free, but setting a reserve will cost you.
Yes regardless of what ebay might say, its always possible the item gets damaged or sold elsewhere before you complete the sale & you can't be forced to sell your item.
Obviously you might get bad feedback though.
I've sent a PM.about the phone

How much do you want for it anyway .. ?

Ah, i understand now .. I'm not sure I'd do that to someone though.
If I'm going to be out a minimum of £150 for insurance excess, I'd like a good chunk of cash so I could put it towards a new N7105. Obviously I want as much as I can get ..
.. if this .. www .ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Titanium-gray-64GB-internal-memory-Unlocked-Smartphone-2-/221168669824?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item337eae1480 .. is worth £750 new, then even requiring £200 worth of repairs mine might be worth a bit more than I think ..

I wasn't really supporting the act of messing a buyer about, i have 100% pos feedback from being nothing but straightforward with people but i was really just outlining the fact that the only way to find the value is to list it with all the info & let the bids commerce.

Do you want 128MB upgrade?

Hey guy's:
Due to the high demand of memory for upcomming OS's I thought I would give you an opportunity to upgrade the memory of your Uni. As you know, one of my friends did the upgrade for me here (in Bangladesh). I discussed with him personally last night for his service and he has shown some interest.
Now I need to know spending how much is actually worth/comfortable for you. I'll then discuss with him further. But please note, chip has to be ordered/bought from eBay.
Let me know if your are interested.
UPDATE:
Details for upgrade -
UPGRADE COST: USD 100 - included chips+service charge+return shipping (regular post).
UPGRADE COST: USD 110 - included chips+service charge+return shipping (express post). But Express post service is available for limited number of countries.
You can provide the chips if you want but they have to proven working. 20$ will be deducted from the total cost in this case.
You must bear the cost for shipping from your end.
Complete device is not accepted. You need to unmount the device and send ONLY the mainboard without any other assembly.
The mainboard must be well-packed during shipping. The same packaging may be used for return shipping.
The whole process could take approximately 6-8 weeks (including shipping/upgrade/return shipping).
I will not take the responsibility in case the board is damaged or lost during transit.
Due to export control regulation: some of the countries are considered out of this project. i.e. Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and all other countries those has direct border to Singapore. Italy has no usual restriction but the postal handling is not so pleasant. Parcel may get lost during shipping/return shipping so it is up to your interest.
Payment (PayPal is prefered) has to be made only when you get notified that the upgrade is done. Board will be then re-shipped.
PM me if you're interested and I'll then provide you the shipping address.
Cheers
I am interested!!
Not sure about price but in London you have to pay aprox. 50 - 80 pounds.
How this would work? shipping?
I´m in and waiting further instructions!
Universal 128MB upgrade in London
Can you tell me somewhere that'll do the upgrade in London? I can't find ANYWHERE! Many thanks
@orb:
you need to send your mainboard, not the whole unit.
the board will be returned after upgrade. in this way it will help to avoid tax.
We will discuss about all other concerns but first I need to know the interest from you guys.
I am interested. Can afford $50, I guess.
Your friend could also do USB port repairs, seems to be the problem that far too many Unis and their owners suffer from.
Question: Can chips be harvested off a defunct Uni/Wizard board? I have some lying around gathering dust in various states of disrepair or repair is simply uneconomical, but I know the RAM BGA chips are fine. Can give chips as part of payment... perhaps...
What do they cost on eBay?

Consider it is not a commercial service. He will do it because of my request. But in the other way, we need to pay him something or he will not feel the interest. Also there is a cost involved for returned shipping.
P.S: I just checked at eBay, a pair of chips are about 20$ (including shipping).

It cost about 200RMB in China,
But I am still waiting~
yes mate there we are i am from dhaka and i am very much interested 4 the upgrade.i think i pm u about this.it will be very much appricated if u provide some of ur contact info 4 ur country mates..cheers tomal 4 ur hard work...i will look 4word 4 the reply...
sorry i forgot to ask is there any possibolity to upgrade the ram to 256 or more higher.i mean can we use 2 128 chip or something like that..cheers..
Very Interested
Not sure the exact amount I would spend currently. Maybe we need to figure out how much it is for return shipping then go from there as far as payment. Most of the users are closer to you I would assume than I. But Im definately interested in this idea. Is there a way to get a flat rate shipping from your end to the rest of us throughout the world? Something similar to what the USPS is offering now with certain boxes that weigh under 70 pounds. Hopefully so but you can count me in. Also would be hoping you and your friend could offer the broken USB port repair.
Also BIG THANKS for the great roms and support you have provided to us Uni lovers We ask you keep up the awesome work.
Upgrade!
I would be willing to pay $75.0-$100.00 US dollars, but not sure how long I could go with out my phone.
Jerry
tomal mate try to find those chips everywhere but couldnt find it.i tried ebay.co.uk couse i hade relative down there who can bring it 4 me.i tried ebay.com aswell but no solution..will u kind enough to show me those links where to buy..cheers...

could u please show us the link of where to buy at (Retronex) as the page is too big to find.
this is a bit off topic, as I am aware Tomal was asking for interest. However, as this is a share site, I'll just point you off-topic to this post.
mate what about those empty space beside the ram chip.if that is 4 extra flash disk than any chance to upgrade it i mean are those chips avilable in market like increaseing more f disk in main board like ram ........any suggations.....
For me Hong Kong seems to be the only and thew closest option with $128. So if Tomal's idea fails, I might check with them whether they'll accept the board only and wait for FX to improve.

Looking to sell my Lapdock -$200 O.B.O.

Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Replacement Screen

Just checking, anyone selling or know where to get a somewhat cheap replacement screen for the t-mobile vibrant? Mine has a cracked corner and I figured it's about time I got it fixed so I can sell it or give it to someone else to use since I have some spare cash to buy a replacement screen for it.
Been checking ebay and the entire assembly goes for around $80-90, seems a bit expensive or at least a bit more than I want to spend on one. Local craigslist doesn't have any selling for parts with a good screen either.
Or is that about what I'd be paying for one, not sure if that is a reasonble price, Or if someone wants to buy my phone off me and fix it themself, let me know how much you'll offer for it rest of it works
mods please don't get angry at this if it's in wrong section, didn't seem like a Q&A thread since it isn't on phone functions, and a screen is an acessory
I would check craigslist or eBay and see if you can get lucky and selling a working phone (there was one listed around here the other day for $60, guess they didn't know they could get more $$)
Or see if you can find a whole non-working phone for parts. I've seen them go for $40.
Then, you've got extra parts. Prices for just screens and digitizers are sky high.
yeah I've looked for parts phone to buy but couldn't find any yet on ebay/craigslist :S
problem with having extra parts is I'd be tempted to keep buying more parts to put the extra parts to use lol

Wouldn't be a bad deal if you could keep finding parts, fix them up and sell them to someone who needs a great phone.

@Mr.Ak i want to know what all things to you look for before purchasing a new display.
i believe that u replaced your display a year ago by buying the display from ebay.in, i am thinking to change my display because middle part of the screen is unresponsive to touch. How is your experience with the replaced touch so far ?
Here is the link which i found on ebay, what do u think about it ? i could get info of your display as the listing has ended, also if u know the seller from which u purchased, i could buy from him confidently.
i m baffled bcoz i cant post links bcoz i have less then posts !!! i have posted so many times on xda (you can make out as i am a member from oct 2013 !!) nevertheless ill post ebay.in seller details below

please give a feedback on this listing. thank you.
hello @VISHAL4U2 & everyone, asking for ebay available screen replacements.
u see everything is manufacture in super bulk in China and shipped globally. ebay has the same screen what you will get with your local service person (if he is able to arrange one for you).
like @Mr.Ak said, they cant be gorilla glass in the range of 12-18 bucks.
its available locally for as low as 1400 and you bargain and pay maybe 1200. ebay has its own safety guarantee nowadays but then you order something and after fitting (by self or by technician whom you end up paying about 250-500 for replacing it); and you find its not fit properly, then you are left with a paperweight.
so best option is source it locally through a technician and they will also fit it for you and you could then and there check the quality and responsiveness...

EBay guarantee means you could get a refund/replacement for the damaged item,but yeah, if you're short on time, then better to buy locally. One thing though,shopping on eBay.in means 10-15% off on any item(this is the main reason why I use eBay ) using coupons.
i know mate, i too have bought a lot of stuff from eBay for the coupon reasons..
but even then local sourcing will help you get better service yaar.

Front glass broken

Hi there,
today I dropped my phone on the street and the front glass got broken. The phone is still fully working. Touchscreen and everything else works without problems.
A couple of months ago I changed the front glass of a Samsung Galaxy S4 with all the necessary stuff, e.g. loca glue. For the first trial the result was acceptable. No reading the other threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3522863
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3592043
most of the posters don't recommend the replacement of the front glass. On ebay I can find both only the frontglass (about 10€) and the full suited display (about 135€). If I take an offer from china, the price would lower to 65€. Another option would be to send the phone to Oneplus and let those guys repair it.
Now the decisions I have to made:
Just buying the front glass: Would be an option, if it is the same difficulty like the Samsung phones. But I've found only one Youtube Tutorial. At 1:45 he puts something on the screen, but not sure if it's clue or just something to clean.
Buying a display from China: for about 65€ would be also ok. This can take up to 6 weeks of shipping. And in some forums I've read the quality should be much lower than the original parts from Oneplus. Does anyone have any experience about this?
Sending to Oneplus ist the last option. But this depends on the price. I opened a ticket and now I'm waiting for their offer.
What would you recommend? Has anybody changed the frontglass and can tell me about the success?

If I take an offer from china, the price would lower to 65€. Another option would be to send the phone to Oneplus and let those guys repair it.
Now the decisions I have to made:
Just buying the front glass: Would be an option, if it is the same difficulty like the Samsung phones. But I've found only one Youtube Tutorial. At 1:45 he puts something on the screen, but not sure if it's clue or just something to clean.
Buying a display from China: for about 65€ would be also ok. This can take up to 6 weeks of shipping. And in some forums I've read the quality should be much lower than the original parts from Oneplus. Does anyone have any experience about this?
Sending to Oneplus ist the last option. But this depends on the price. I opened a ticket and now I'm waiting for their offer.
What would you recommend? Has anybody changed the frontglass and can tell me about the success?

Open the ticket mate. No fuss. You'll get your device going in maximum 2 weeks. I tried replacing the glass myself and failed, I cracked the screen half way through...
Buying from eBay... Idk, but if people say they're not original, why Risk? Then again there's the struggle of doing it yourself.
The cheapest and safest is to send it to ONEPLUS.
Cheers

Hi there,
today I dropped my phone on the street and the front glass got broken. The phone is still fully working. Touchscreen and everything else works without problems.
A couple of months ago I changed the front glass of a Samsung Galaxy S4 with all the necessary stuff, e.g. loca glue. For the first trial the result was acceptable. No reading the other threads:

I have replaced hundreds of screens in devices and for the most part it is cheaper and far easier then anything else.
Im about to replace my USB port myself as soon as my tool kit gets here on Monday.
I would never send a device to the OEM to be fixed. It will cost you twice as much plus the time without a device is just stupid.
I have always trusted these people with all the stuff I need to repair. Never trust some random Youtube video.

You could find a cheaper knock off im sure but I hold a simple believe when it comes to electronics. You get what you pay for. You buy cheap and you get cheap.
The USB port was like 4 bucks with 25 dollars shipping lol.

That's been my general experience as well, with probably the exception of Intel CPUs. Got my 1700X and is better for building than a 7700K or 8700K for almost half the price.

57 Euros doesn't sound bad actually especially if it's the regular screen.

What? It may suck to send your device away but why are you saying they charge you twice as much? That's misinformation. I sent mine and it only cost 80£ (labour and shipping included). Where can you buy an original display for 80 quid? Even the Knock offs from eBay cost more than that.

You are not adding in the cost of buying g another disposable device to use for the weeks your device is gone. That's for you. Do you know how much it would cost from the US for a repair?

Yep! Not gonna pay $400 to repair a device that is literally $100 something on Ebay or Swappa, and I am definitely not going to pay $400 for a device that is guaranteed going to bootloop again in only a years time. So I spent $300 and bought a new OP3. Originally got the V10 because as someone coming from IOS, I automatically thought all Android phones could be unlocked and rooted with ease, with some o them sweet custom ROMs. This guy didn't do his research and ended up with using LG's, horrible, horrible (I cannot stress this enough) software. Not to mention the extra thick layer of AT&T bloat behind it. I don't really care about the hardware in a phone, as long as its good enough to have the software run good.

I hear you there. I had a g2 for a while. Then moved to the nexus but the 6 had issues dealing with the cold. So got the 1+3 for a steal from a dev. To be honest. I wanted to hate it because the CEO is an idiot. But other then some crappy BT issues when on a weak wifi connection. (licensing issues I'm sure) and the fact it won't work with my smart watch. I really can't complain about about.
I replaced my Motherboard and Battery by sending it to Oneplus. I do live in the EU so that could be a big difference. But a DHL driver picked it up on Monday. And I got it back the same week on Friday fully repaired without additional costs. A screen replacement here costs about €100 which is not expensive at all.. The problem mainly is that original parts are very rare and mostly fake.

I used DHL for the first time Getting the USB port. Ordered it before Xmas and got it 2 weeks later. I was impressed with DHL as they went out of their way to make sure I got the package.
