Hey everyone, I recently purchased a note 7 online and am wondering how to go about sending it back to Samsung for a replacement phone, or a full refund (if possible.) I've been looking around for a few days now and most places say to take it back to where you bought it for a full refund. Thing is though that I bought it used, and on top of that, it isn't even working. (beyond being able to boot into download mode when plugged into an ac adapter.
I also wouldn't mind getting it running just to play around with it for a bit, but that seems nearly impossible to me at this point.
In conclusion, anyone have any idea what I can do? Has anyone else here had a similar experience?
P.S. I live in Canada but I ordered my Note 7 from the states.

Hi, i have been thinking about upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus from a HTC Desire.
Now im looking at purchasing one from Amazon.de as its 495.00 EUR, which works out at around £414 + £7 shipping, compared to the £450 Amazon.co.uk want for it.
I know the one from Amazon.de will have a European charger, however i presume it just charges with a Micro USB cable, so i could just use my PC to charge like i always did with the Desire?
Also for anyone who purchased one in Germany is any text on the back of the phone in English or German?
If anyone could answer either question that would be great
Thanks very much.

It will charge on every Micro USB charger.

Only stuff written on the phone is "Google" and "Samsung".
Thanks for the quick reply!
I got mine instore at Cex. It had never been even set up. I got the first ever update pushed as soon as I put my SIM in. Cex usually offer 5% discount for cash purchases so I got mine for about £413, which to me is a better situation than buying from Amazon as within the first year I have warranty options with both Cex (for a direct exchange if I have any faults) or Samsung (if Cex don't happen to have any in stock). Also with Cex I can exchange to the purchased value within twelve months, so if mine happened to break in four months and the S3 is a preferable phone I can simply add my £413 to the cost of the swap. I think I just got lucky to find one at my local store though.
I ordered it 11:30pm Monday night from Amazon.de, it arrived at my house around 9am Friday morning from what i'm told.
Very happy with the phone! Got the OTA Update to 4.0.2, then unlocked the bootloader and rooted!
Everything is great, impressed with the battery life compared with my Desire too, got over 4 hours (screen on) on with its first charge. The camera is not bad at all to be honest, not really sure why it got hammered in the reviews. Yes they might be slightly better cameras out there on other devices, but tbh i didn't buy the phone for the camera. The pictures are great for a mobile device, as is the video recording. My personal oppinnion is its a great all rounder device that is going to be a good mobile for the next 2+ years.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing that you did and importing a nexus from amazon.de
Just have a few questions,
how did you find the setup process? Was it in german or was it in english?
Also did you get stung with any taxes / surcharges?
Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?
Broke my HTC and have seen their latest flagship phone has issues, so would rather switch to the Nexus
Thanks in advance
Got mine here a month ago, dont think theres anywhere cheaper.
Mine was a euro version so no uk usb charger but i wasnt bothered,

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.
Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.
Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227
Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol
That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!
Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!
I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.
That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!
Hi all i think ive bought a duff note 2 my phone has 5gb internal memory,null imei,factory test mode is showing twice on start up,power button when pushed turns off the phone without any options,no imei sticker so all i can find is the serial number using root explorer... i opened up the phone and its missing the flexi cable antenna and has no where for the antenna flex cable to fit on to.. any ideas does anyone know how much a new motherboard would cost and where in the uk i can get one.. also if take this to a samsung repair centre how would i stand
anyone??
Where did you buy it from - give us a link.
And why don't you just return it?
Seriously I think you bought a fake Note (2). There are TONS of MADE IN CHINA copycat phones sold here in HK (most likely online and eBay listings). The exterior looks 95% exact as original Samsungs but when you turn it on, you can tell immediately with the low resolution of the display and the awful looking UI. They should be banning them for being sold....just like those fake LV/Gucci stuff. What a shame.
its deff a genuine note 2 the resolution on the screen is spot on and i can even flash firmwares,roms,root etc i was wondering if i have a prototype note 2 that was used for testing also i got the phone from ebay uk
why don't you just return it?
The person i got it from who was selling it on ebay doesn`t want to know.. this is a pic of the mainboard
pic 2
anymore info about my phone
Call Samsung and offer them their prototype back in exchange for a final release one.
Beamed from Jupiter on my Galaxy Note II
Theres someone else on ebay with the same phone as mine with 5gb internal memory and they are calling it a test model but when i phoned samsung they said they didn`t make test phones for the n7100 confused.com
You need to raise a claim with PayPal/eBay.... But first thing the seller will say is that you have opened the phone and any warranty with them is void
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk (how ironic is that eh)
Did the seller say there was a problem with it?
If not it's not as described and you should raise it with eBay.
How much did you pay for the device?
it was for sale on ebay uk but like a idiot to save on postage i met up half way and swapped my new s3 for it so nothing ebay can do about it. did send the person who had it a message via ebay but he`s not interested..

Sorry for you. I think you have learned an expensive lesson.
once bitten twice shy as they say.. if i could get hold of a logicboard for my n7100 i`d have a perfectly working phone but can`t find one anywhere :crying:
hey all. nexus 4 user here.
dropped my baby on concrete and shattered it, and then dropped it in water (both on accident, of course!) and now i need to get a new phone. I've had my eye set on the note 3 for some time now. I bought a note 2 last year off ebay, but the seller reported it stolen so he could get a free replacement, and i got screwed, so im not going to trust ebay with high value purchases. I cannot seem to find the tmobile model on amazon, or at least, i can't find one from what looks like a trusted seller. It looks like i need to get the n900t model for tmobile. is the regular n900 model compatible with tmobile 4g? any links would be appreciated, the cheaper the better, obviously!
thanks!

Hello xda folks,
Has anyone bought any spare parts for their 10 and can recommend a site where to get them? UK/EU preferably import tax from the states really drives the price up.
I found a couple of places through google but no reviews on whether the parts received were actually any good.
I'm after a replacement battery, screen and possibly a back cover.
Thanks

Have a look at exe UK, they have a shop in Surrey I think and possibly you can send it in instead. I'm thinking of a new battery at some point but might wait until it gets so bad I can replace under warranty. Let us know how you get on, that company looks ok and I'd probably use them if I was out of warranty
