Ok... So, I bought my note 7 in august from Dubai when I was on holidays. I've called up Samsung at least 20 times now telling them to give me a refund or a replacement for the phone. And each time all they do is take my info and say they'll call me back but they never ever do. I've also been in touch with them multiple times through email but they still tell me to wait for a reply from Samsung... But it's been two months now, and nothing.
Here's my problem, I have a flight from the UK to Ireland for Christmas. And I have no idea what to do with my phone... It's not allowed on the plane. And I can't leave it in the UK... And I'm not willing to throw away a £850 device in the trash... I simply can't afford that. What on earth do I do?

Who's the flight with? It may be allowed on the plane.
Also, why can't you leave it in the UK? I don't get the impression you are emigrating, so surely there is somewhere you can leave it and pick it up when you get back? A friend, a relative, a locker at the station?

My flight is with aer lingus who have banned the phone. I cant leave it in the UK because for the two weeks I'll be in ireland, I'll need a phone... Lol, I can't function properly without one. I can't do my job without one. It's just not suitable for me to leave it here in the uk

Are you sure about Aer Lingus? I did a quick google and found they've banned it for flights in and out of the US, but I didn't see anything about a total ban. Earlier on, they were saying hand luggage only and not to be stored in the hold.
And if you really can't take it, then get a cheap temporary phone. Buy something off ebay for £20 and if you are really desperate, ebay it off again for £20.
EDIT:
https://www.aerlingus.com/travel-information/baggage-information/restricted-items/
Note: Aer Lingus has been advised that the U.S. Department of Transportation has issued an emergency order banning all Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone devices from air transportation in the United States and Canada. Guests who own or possess a Samsung Galaxy Note7 device may not transport the device on their person, in carry-on baggage, or in checked baggage on flights to, from, or within the United States.
No airport exchange boots in your country?
Or take it with you. As I say, it doesn't look like they are banned on Aer Lingus flights from UK to Ireland.

Do you really understand what he is saying? He told you twice - the Note 7 phones are not banned by your airline. So you cannot possibly be caught, get a fine, or get a criminal report. Kapish?

Hello, i've been using a tmo SGSII for a while.
I was going to change into GN when it comes out for TMO later.
but it seems i've been waiting forever for it, and i'm giving up.
I'm trying to buy a unlocked GSM version of GN.
i'm thinking of buying GN from here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...4353?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2c642a7221#rpdId
just because it's in US, and it'll be easier for me to sent it back if there's any problem.
Do you think it's okay for me to buy GN around this time?
or should i just wait for the SGSIII in... like Q4? (i don't mind buying both of them)
plus, i heard unlocked gsm GNs' are OS locked, where you cannot upgrade the software via OTA.
is this true? or this doesn't matter? would i be able to get an OTA without any problem? or do i have to use a 3rd party program? or i can't simply do it?

Sorry, not true. Just because you're buying it from a seller in the US doesn't mean that Samsung Europe will honor your warranty. If you want a guarantee (or as close to a guarantee as you'll get with a grey market device) of having a manufacturer warranty, choose a reputable US-based importer (not a random eBay seller) that will help facilitate the warranty exchange with Samsung. Samsung Europe will (most likely) not deal with a US customer directly because the phone is not sold here.

That's your call. No one can tell you what you want or what to do. Read up and make a choice.

This is not true... Not sure what you're talking about. The entire point of buying unlocked phones is so that you can still receive the updates OTA without waiting for carriers to approve them. The Galaxy Nexus receives OTAs just fine.

i'm not talking about a warranty. i never get warranty, for anything. i take care of my electronic devices well (more like worshiping god lol. every single one of electronic devices that i ever had lived way over their life expectancy)
i'm talking about the amount of time for the phone to get to me. it should be way faster than from the overseas, correct?
also, it says i should get my money back if i return it within 7 days, and only one or two day is needed for me to figure out if there is anything wrong with the phone.
also, feedback of this seller is quite good
oh, can you tell me any reputable us based importer just in case ?
how does this look??

i waited a while to buy a phone and was also considering waiting for the sgsIII but every time a phone was released a new phone was announced and i ended up just waiting and waiting haha it was an endless loop...
finally gave in and just picked up the galaxy nexus and never looked back
Those of u who baought the phone, can any one of u please tell me any link to good amazon seller or website, something like that? (Sending within the us) i want the phone in my hand as soon as possible

They have terrible customer service
I sent my one x back because of screen flex and back light bleeding and they say its meant to happen
Then when I get it back it comes back with a scratch on it
Then I send it back for a supposed replacement
All they did was repackage the same bloody phone with new accesores but its still my phone I have had since the beginning

I know, can't even cancel my contract now, only way to get away from this company is to sell my one x and cancel the contract. Even worse is half of their employees don't work at weekends.
Also the phone has a different imie to the box. So if I try to get a repair from HTC I can't because the stickers that come in the box don't match the phone. Really pissed with the company. Also have had to pay £14 for postage twice and neither time been refunded

i know mate...but see here is were you are going wrong. once you have the contract you do not deal with chitter chatter anymore you deal with T-Mobile.(going by whats below your avatar) Chitter chatter only hand you the mobile and contract deal the rest you can deal with T-Mobile if you have any issues. Regarding the handset though yeah it is still with chitter chatter..Have you tried going into one of their stores instead of dealing with over the phone?
Plus i would keep insisting that they replace the phone to you and explain in detail the whole situation you are having..It is unacceptable and you need to sort it out now mate and do not hang the phone until they do it for you...You have to put your foot down..That is the only way these people will get the message

Just to let you know, there wont be any problems sending the device back to HTC, they only check the IMEI of the device, and do not ask you to send the box back.

I have the galaxy tab 3 8.0, I just got it recently as upon taking it out of the box I rooted it almost immediately. I come to realize after rooting and using it for a couple weeks that the battery is faulty, can I send it in for repair being rooted and or am I out of luck? Its got horrible battery life and when its dead and i plug it in it shoots up to 20-60% charge (random every time) which leads me to believe its the battery. I'd really like to get this fixed because I enjoy my tab but I cant use it for more than an hour without it dying

I submitted on the 22nd and it still says pending. The big bummer is my in-box charger was DOA, so I've been using my V10 charger. I'm hearing horror stories about non approved chargers messing up the 10. I've been meaning to go back to T-Mo and see if they can just throw me a new charger.
I ordered mine on launch day but didn't receive it till the following week. Tracking the submission request it says approved on June 4th so we'll see what happens.
Naturally, the day after I email customer service (got no response), the status changed to approved.
I was never told about it when I got the phone. Had to go to a different T-Mobile store, cause my regular one didn't have the h10, and had no idea when or if they would be be getting it. Way to drop the ball T-Mobile.

They gave you a like 5 days to buy the phone (may 18-23 I think?) and then you had until june 3rd? to submit the proper information for redemption..
I don't think complaining to T-mobile about you not knowing or the store not telling you about this is going to get you anywhere

It's also not an issue with the stores not telling me anything..... How was I supposed to go to a store to purchase it, when the stores in central Ohio ARE NOT CARRYING IT?!

If the rumor is true and Samsung is truly going to block imei's after September 30th of phones not replaced under the recall how would they go about doing this? I would assume by silent OTA. Would running twrp and custom ROM be able to stop this from happening? Before anyone assumes I'm not replacing device by choice this is not true. My eBay seller is unwilling to exchange my device and Samsung is unwilling to help since it was bought on eBay and device is international and I'm in the usa. So I'm in a bad spot and refuse to have a$900 paper weight. I'm looking into other options with eBay on somehow getting my money back but it looks to be a long shot.

How did you pay? With PayPal? Cause in pretty sure they can get the refund done with their return policy for customers if you go through them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using Tapatalk
I don't think it involves an ota, the block list is sent to the carriers. I think it was intended for stolen phones.
Working with eBay is your best bet, from the sounds of it. Best of luck.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
IMEIs can be blocked through networks not by OTA or software, it's literally a block from using any mobile network by the network worldwide.
Yes I did use PayPal and a credit card that is setup through them. I am within the 30 day return window. I did read that the return is only valid through a defective product or item received not as described. I would consider the recall a defect but we willing have to see if they agree. What is the likelihood they would send all these imei's blocks to every carrier in the usa on an international phone? I would that would be highly unlikely. I would say the usa versions imei's I could see being blocked but an international devices imei? What do you think?
I reread a post that it would be worldwide block through all carriers. I can't hardly believe they can do this on a product you bought that they won't replace because Of where you bought it. This is becoming a real pita

rumors are rumors.....unless samsung release a statement stating that they are going to ban the IMEI everything is smoke and daggers.........exchange can always be done at the sammy regional store/office where they device was first purchased (in this case...where ebay seller got the phones from initially)
while the F version is called the "international" version....each region has their own variation of the F model......
buying from ebay is like buying your neighbor's car......once purchase in good faith......your neighbour is not responsible for any maintenance thereafter.....

IMEIs are blocked worldwide when they are blocked. It's a worldwide system for stopping device usage after phone theft.
Omg I don't want a $1200 CAD paperweight..
I think a lot of the ebay seller, ebay themselves, and PayPal issues and problems regarding refunds and exchanges. Is mainly due to the fact that the recalls were new and no one really had any idea of how to go about it and were just pushing blame.
If you wait a little bit for the smoke to Settle and there is a little more clarity on what is going on, in regards to the recalls and procedures.
Maybe some of these entities may reverse or take a different stand on their earlier decisions if you revisit them, after they get a better understanding of what is going on and how their earlier decision just left their consumers. Screwed. Especially ebay and PayPal who are suppose to protect the consumers with buyers protection.

My seller (never-msrp) is just giving me the run around. I keep messaging him/her/them but their telling me their still waiting on what Samsung is going to do and or tell them how to act when being asked about returns.
I don't want to return my device. My device works beautifully. But now this $hit Samsung might deactivate non exchanged possibly dangerous phones has got me worried and Ihave no idea what to do...

recalls work different way.....since the device it not defective......so i don't think its a matter of pushing blame.......
buyer protection is only useful when you haven't got the item or it isn't what is described.........the devices wasn't defective when you received it......it was in working order.......at this point....its mostly out of ebay's hands since it came as advertised......
paypal will probably look at it....and say.....the transaction was made in good faith between you and the seller......(because the product came as advertised...recall does not fall into "defective" categories).........
the ebay seller depending on who it is....may help you with the exchange.....each seller can have their own terms and condition though.......i checked a couple of listing....and most of them say that you have a 12 month manufacturing warranty.....(i think the key word is manufacture....which means its samsung).......so its more like if the seller is willing to help....but most likely you will have to deal with samsung yourself......
It will be a good move though... Considering many airlines are banning it on flight, hopefully this will encourage them to lift the ban...

i don't think they will go to that extreme.....and honestly....unless samsung release a statement about IMEI block...i will take it as a grain of salt.......remember......its only someone in reddit that is talking about it.......with no proof that except for what he wrote about the phone call.......but samsung france haven't release any statement to that fact.....
if you know where your phone was first purchased......then you can call the samsung number for that region and see what you can do......

Yes will do for sure. Well it seems like never-msrp isn't going to be of any help here as they keep giving me the same answers to my many different questions, so it seems like I'll be contacting Samsung Vietnam tomorrow to see what I can do.
P.S.
Never-msrp keeps telling me that Vietnam models are not affected, I wonder if it's true?

The Aussie supplied phones are made in Vietnam and are all being recalled.. Dunno if they are different to the Vietnamese market models though hardware wise.

Samsung is not blocking affected phones:

Who would have thought that a random reddit post was not true.
