Hi guys,
I'm planning to get the note 7. Just wondering if anyone can post an image of a brand new unit if you got one. Does it really have the letter S mark? Or the black mark? Thanks!
It has a bomb with an X over it

Mine was the canadian version. Has the black square.
Wow that's it? The black square? OK it is good to know, but those out there with malicious intent, selling defective units on the 'Black Market' can easily draw up a replica symbol on the label to pass off as new 'Safe' units.
You can check the imei on samsungs website

Unfortunately I haven't opened it or made any other observations. I sold the new one on Craigslist unopened. I wanted an exynos version so will wait to get my hands on one of those after after the dust settles from the recall.
What I did notice was that the label with the black square was on top of the original label.
So my assumption is that these units were old stock, but Samsung knew which units had the unaffected batteries and therefore just relabeled them with a new identifier(black square) to know good from bad.

Did you have to send back your affected device? What happens if you don't?

Only this letter was included in the shipping box with the new phone box.
It just tells me to drop off old unit at a Samsung store. On back side of letter it just names all the locations that i can drop it off.
No mention of what happens if i don't or no mention of any deadlines to drop it off by. I originally bought my unit from Samsung.ca.
They probably have my credit card on file and would just Bill me if they didn't receive my recalled unit

Chill out, guy. If you happened to read his shipping details, or try to actually order, you'd realize there are no shipping options for the US. Worldwide delivery pertains to Canada and Europe.
Also, I sent the buyer a message about possibly shipping to the US and he never got back to me =\ Hopefully if more people ask him about it, he'll make it an option.
I also asked the guy but no reply yet

I wish there was a metal (or partial metal, so as to not interfere with the reception) back plate, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. I love how thin the Vibrant is, I don't want to add a case to it.

I am on the lookout for a Galaxy Nexus in Mumbai, India. I want to make sure that I get my money's worth when buying the phone i.e I don't want to get ripped off by the seller.
Can you please tell me how I can know if a phone is new or used previously.

There's very little you can do to check if it's new or not other than call Samsung and see if someone has registered the unit with them for some reason or another. Although the seals on the box being broken would be a massive give away

When i got my nexus in the mail my buddy took it out of the box and put his phone in to play a joke on me and didn't even break the seal. I asked him how he did it and he said he didn't even realize he had done that. So no the seal is no indicator at all lol.

I find it hard to believe you can undo the seal without damaging it, I had to proper rip mine to get into the box. Perhaps the EU ones are more secure!!
Either way, unless you're getting it from an official dealer it's hard to say whether it's 100% new or not
I stupidly let my 2 year old son use my tablet and he threw it and broke the casing (fascia).

Well if you told us what model you have and color we could send you a link when we come across one.
Without knowing what you have you may want to check Global Direct Parts I know they have blue / black and the white for GT-N8013 ($16.99)

I think the GT-N8010 is the European WiFi version and the GT-N8013 is USA WiFi version.

I would call them tomorrow and ask them exactly what your getting as I have seen these for much, much more some place else.
Did you see there number 210-444-9469 and it looks like they are in the states, San Antonio, Texas.

The thing that stands out to me is the "90 day manufacturers warranty". Which is good, as most likely any defects should present by then. But, if NO warranty at all after 90 days, seems risky.
Does this seem like a good deal? (they've sold over 200 so far, though nobody has left feedback yet).
That seems shady that nobody at has left any feedback even though they've sold 200 units. If you can return the purchase if you arent happt with it, go ahead and try ir out. But you still never know. Most of the times, they ship merely the phone itself and no other gadgets that's supposed to come with it. So be aware of that. I bought a refurbished pixel 2 xl and that one was on Pie and the battery kind sucked aswell as the fingerprint scanner after a week or so. So i bought another one and this time it wqs on oreo 8.1 and so far. It runs smoothly without any issues.
Hence, buying refurbished is kind of like gambling. You never know what you will get!
90 days should just be warranty that they have stated. Though Google does two year warranty mostly. I would check the IMEI with Google and see what they say before you purchase. Because you bought it and they should be able to offer you a refurbished unit as a replacement if it has issues. They look brand new basically.

How would he check the IMEI before he even gets the unit? It's not like they'll just give him that info before purchasing.
The seller has a solid rating. I would not worry about it. Just a heads up, it is probably a Verizon version. Those are the only ones available outside of the Google store so you won't be able to unlock the boot loader if that is important to you. But there is no way to know for sure without the IMEI.

It says in the description in bold print that it is not the Verizon version and that the bootloader is unlockable.

Flash the latest factory images before doing anything! It could have malware preinstalled. The description says "Bootloader unlocked", this could be a typo and the seller means bootloader unlockable, or perhaps carrier unlocked, but flashing the factory images will clear out any changes, and will also save you the trouble of going through each update on its own.

Supposed to be here Friday, so I was surprised to see it when I got home today.
It looks brand new, with factory stickers and packaging. Bootloader is locked.
As stated, no accessories included (except SIM tool and a cleaning cloth).
From what I understand of it, it does have the blue shift issue with the display. Not sure how I should feel about that... doesn't seem to bother me yet.

All the motherboards on Aliexpress are fake - run @steadfasterX's SALT and it shows they've all been modified in some way, with crazy ARBs of 20 and even 40!
Where (or which seller) would you guys recommend getting legit motherboards, and not frankenboards?
The phone was released in 2015, I don't think LG still makes motherboards for this phone.

I haven't checked recently but there is/ was an Israel- based seller on ebay selling H815 boards. I bought two a couple years back, about $50 apiece, the default language is Hebrew but of course a different one can be selected during setup... Still amusing that the phone dialer shows Hebrew numbering. AFAIK they are real, never had any problems.

Hi guys, I seem to have a franken h815 too. I wanted to find out the actual model by checking the motherboard.
All that I see is a little qr code with one number underneath: RS1017 (or BS1017) and one number on the side: 066C15. I could not find out which model corresponds to that, could you help me?
