Usb Jig

Who was the British seller on xda that was selling the usb jigs please?

why are u insisting on a British seller there are many who are selling them

It was just the one i had seen on ebay, the ones i searched for earlier were from hong kong and 30+ days postage. Im not bothered who makes it and not discriminating, just worded wrong

i got one from peartek on ebay, works brilliantly

cadguy thanks for that just bought one £4 from ebay

I really want one (from the UK) that allows payment other than PayPal, I don't have an account and for £4 not really worth signing up for. I normally pay by debit card when buying from eBay shame can't do the same with this. Anyone have a spare they want to sell me? Thanks

im gonna buy one to reset the custom kernel count, will get it from ebay..

I've heard certain sites aren't legitimate enough for them, a little finicky. And you still have to pay tax unfortunately, CA. But still a great find!

$800? Lol.

It really depends on a store manager on duty at the time, I have price-matched stuff below their cost before (store manager is the only one to approve of that) you just have to be nice about it.
Also yes there is the killer CA tax, but you will probably get US warranty since its sold here and if anything your CC could maybe even double it.

better be the 32gb version for that price

not a chance. US samsung will not warranty this phone as the GSM version is not officially offered in the US.
the only good thing about this is being able to return/exchange while you have your 30 day window.

And your point? That's overpriced too rofl.
Also, think I'll call the Fry's here in WA and see if they'll price match online. if I can get a price match I'd rather buy it there than wait for shipping.

I paid 660 cash w/o tax at a local cellphone store, no issues.

The tax would make me cry at a B&M

And other importers will beat that by about $25-$30. Handtec is $650 shipped, Clove is $660. I think Negrielectronics is ~$656 (best price as no chance that your CC company will charge foreign trans fee).

Hey MO11,
Appreciate the reply. I'll order from clove. I need to know the tax and/or custom fee badly. I tried calling US customs and theres no rep to talk to. Can you believe that?? How else is one supposed to know this???

i know the feeling man, its crazy that its so hard to get such important info, i had to actually google and see some sites how they calculate it etc . so maybe try on google and you might be lucky to atleast have an estimation to what to expect.
does clove open the box too or its factory sealed ?

can't you buy it from canada? https://pdaplaza.ca/collections/all/huawei-mate-20-x

Why not buy from eBay? There are reputable sellers selling it for under $600.

Hey MO11,
I tried google to calculate it but they ask for hs code and insurance cost which I dont know exactly. So I'm back to square one without knowing for sure the customs tax.
I'm sure clove wont sell you an open item. They seem 100% legit from their site and from talking to one of the owners via email. I asked them about customs also. They said they dont know but to check with US customs. Again back to square one.

On that site its too expensive. Theyre asking for $670. Ebay is cheaper but sadly my state through ebay charges a hefty sales tax.

Yes there are reputable ebay sellers. But unfortunately my state through ebay charges $52 sales tax for the phone. I wont fork over to the gov $52 when I've never been charged taxes on ebay before. Ebay shopping will be affected by these stupid taxes.

Real world views on the HD1900 7T available 'on the cheap'

I have a genuine question (no, I'm not the amazon seller in camouflage ) about buying a HD1900 variant Oneplus 7T
FWI This is the Chinese version of the phone, probably sold/ sourced in HK and imported.
For me in the UK it's available at a stonking discount here
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oneplus-Unlocked-Smartphone-HD1900-Inches/dp/B07ZKDPSVN/
400 GBP
My simple question is: Surely somebody else on the XDA has bought such a device? Can you report if there are any obvious problems or gotchas?
Things like:
- Which ROM is installed & is it a EURO one with the Google Play Store fully installed
- Both SIM card slots work on 4G UK networks
- It can be rooted and unlocked as normal
- I suppose mainly , once an International ROM is installed it is in every way the same as a regular European version phone (well except that the warranty would come only from the amazon seller, and means they have to stay in business!)
Anybody?
(NB: I saw the post on the person who bought a French version of this phone, but nothing for the UK variant?)

I have the Chinese HD1900 variant. It comes with Hydrogen OS but you can install Oxygen OS international very easily.
Supported 4G-LTE bands:
FDD-LTE:B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,26,28,29
TDD-LTE:B34,38,39,40,41
3G/2G:
TDSCDMA:B34,B39
UMTS(WCDMA):B1,2,4,5,8,9,19
CDMA:BC0,BC1
GSM:B2,3,5,8

^^Volte works?

VoLTE works fine on HD1900 here in the States.

It won't come with a UK 3 pin charger and I guess you won't be covered by any manufacturer warranty

It kinda sucks. Lags a bit. Cannot root. Compared to my ancient Oneplus One, the HD1900 is slightly better but not a huge improvement.

It's more between 5 and 6 weeks. 6 weeks for each of my 2 OnePlus 7T (Aliexpress and Gearbest).

??? This phone can be rooted and it works pretty well. Learn how to do it without TWRP it's not that difficult. I still have my Onplus One and comparison it is just a no brainer, don't say BS. Even this morning I took photos with both phones in same situation to compare, the OnePlus 7T is really better. I'm feeling I'm trying to answer to a troll here?!

I'm waiting for mine from china, ordered the 7 december from ebay.

You're probably right, I took the bait...

I ordered 2 of these (HD1900 256Gb model) from Ali Express when they had their sale on 11.11. I was lucky as despite the number they sold they shipped it within 8 days and 9 days later I received it in the UK (17 days from order, from China so not bad). Some recent orders have been taking longer I heard, so it's a bit of pot luck really.
The phones are great. The seller open the box and flash Oxygen OS (Global Version) on the phone prior to shipping it as it originally comes with Hydrogen OS being for the Chinese market. Comes with the chinese plug and a UK adapter, or other if different country. I did a factory reset before setting up the phone. If you want to convert it to EU, then just use Oxygen Updater from Play Store and flash the appropriate ROM. Very simple to do.
I'm guessing the one you are looking at on Amazon is not any different, but you'll at least get the Amazon cover if anything goes wrong. Warranty of course will be with China so forget about it. I have got phone insurance so I just rely on that.

Ordered my HD1900 256GB silver on eBay for £369 (with 5% eBay discount)
Took a while to come but I couldn't be any happier. I also had the 7t pro McLaren edition but I favoured this flat screen and sold the McLaren edition.
Love this phone its so sleek, fast, a good all round phone. Ive had no problems at all.
It came sealed with oxygen os installed already with an update out the box on mine so I was very surprised.

General I got an extra 100 off using Samsung Pay.

I noticed an ad in Samsung pay for the Fold 3 giving you the 200 dollar store credit, plus an extra 100 off for "Memory discount" if you select the 512 model. Black was the only color with this discount though. The last 100 dollars can only be used for accessories.

Woa!

that wasnt for using samsung pay. i got it too. you get $200. if you get the 512gb they take 100 of that 200 and put it towards that and black was the only color available at all

I got the same but its worded differently.
$200 samsung credit but they took $100 to upgrade to the 512gb.

I snagged the 512 Z fold three, as well as the classic watch. With the $100 credit and points from my purchases, if my math is correct, I should be able to go back and purchase the S Pen Pro for free.
Skipped the other fold version, since this one has water resistance I'm going to give it a try. I know many people don't want to get it because they don't feel it's a massive upgrade, but it kind of is for some of us. So we'll see where it goes.
Just wish there was an MicroSD slot. Buying a USB-C thumb drive for the extra storage. Damn Samsung for ditching it.

Not saying you're wrong, but I got 300 off. 200 off the phone and 100 off accessories. When I checked out via samsung.com it didn't give me the option.

I got the same thing as him, it took $100 from my $200 credit to go towards the high memory and left me with $100 towards accessories. I think you both are right depending on where you are from. I'm not sure why its different, but he's not wrong.

Same here. Traded in a Note 20 U and got s-pen and aramid case and total for 512gb option was $906 with tax.

dang, missed opportunity on my part.

I registered then pre-ordered on the 12th. I feel like I did well. I got the Fold 3 for 832 dollars thanks to the first responder discount, added new buds2 and watch4 and I am out the door at 1019 dollars fit and finish. (with trade in) I forgot to add the free year of Samsung Care+ they are crediting my payment 100 dollars as well once it arrives so the total will come down to 919 dollars. Pretty stoked for all 3 items at that price.

That's a fantastic deal! I also ordered the watch and feel OK about pricing but you have the lowest I've seen yet. Didn't have any of the additional discounting available to me. Paid the $12 for expedited as well.

Thanks for sharing this. I got the extra $100 off, plus the free 35w charging brick compared to using the samsung.com website.
