hello everyone
I have bought a used Xperia Play that has a defective SD card reader and i cant seem to get a hold of the seller. everything is working except for the sd card reader. when i opened it up, I found out that the module is broken. I looked on Ebay and found what I need, only to discover that the seller doesnt ship to Canada. Does anyone know somewhere else I can get this item from?
here is the link: ebay.com/itm/OEM-SONY-ERICSSON-XPERIA-PLAY-MICRO-SD-CARD-PORT-PARTS-FIX-R800-USA-/130590488389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e67ccb745#ht_895wt_932[/url]
thanks
That link seems to give a "page not found" error
Think he means this link. I just copied the Sony part all the way to the end.

Yes thats the one im talking about. Unfortunately he doesnt ship to canada, and he is the only person i found who sells it. If anyone knows where to get one like this, PLEASE tell me/us where to get it.
thanks in advance
May not be a solution for you, but if you happen to have a friend in the US, you could have him receive it then send it to you.
did you try messaging the seller and asking him if you paid the full price for shipping if he would make an exception?
man i'm wishing i lived in the US right now lol. Is there some kind of OEM parts website that sells it? I dont want to send it back to Sony because I know they'll charge me a mind boggling price. also BTW, when i plug in my headphones no sound comes from them, but the sound keeps coming out of the speakers. does anyone know anything about that?
thanks for the help

I've got the same issue. Some dumba$$ duped me into trading a brand-new mint condition Blackberry 9810 for a VG condition Xperia Play - which at the time seemed like a perfect trade to me because I wanted an Android device... and the gaming aspect was intriguing. Little did I know that the SD card was fubar, and this guy didn't bother to tell me. So of course, I test everything except the card slot, and when I try to contact him again after the deal was made - he's vanished. His last reply to me? "Move on, sorry"...
I need to find a way to fix this, or find someone who can fix this (I'm not overly good with my hands, especially not on smaller parts).
Any help anyone can give me, or if the OP found a solution, and could post it here, that would be great.
I'm in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area (which I believe the OP was as well - what does that say about the quality of the people trading phones around here?)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The weird thing is that almost exactly the same thing happened to me, except that I paid cash. Anyways, after about two months of searching on the net, I managed to fix the phone up. I kept looking online for just the SD Card Reader itself, but couldnt find anything at all. So, I had to go hunting for a damaged xperia so I can use parts out of it. After a lot of searching on kijiji, ebay, etc, I found one with a broken screen on kijiji in Niagara Falls, so I contacted the seller and had him ship it to me (I got lucky on that lol), and paid him via paypal. Then, I swapped the motherboards between my phone and the broken one because the sd card reader is sort of soldered onto the motherboard, and I have very twitchy hands, so I decided not to mess with anything and just swap the whole thing. After that, I sold the broken one (which has my old broken motherboard in it) on Ebay for parts. Anyways, the point is to buy another xperia with a broken screen or something and swap motherboards, and for that you need alot of patience because you can barely find any parts for the xperia play on the net. Or, just deal with what happened and sell your phone on ebay as is for parts. Good luck
Lol I actually live in Ottawa but I bought the device while I was visiting some relatives in Toronto, says a lot about the quality of people selling phones in toronto.
one last thing, if you're going to buy a broken phone for parts, make sure its GSM , not CDMA.
I wanted to know if its easy to repair the sd card module on the xperia play the one i have is a at&t model 4g yeah the sd slot doesnt detect my micro sd i have a bunch of working micro sd cards thats why i was asking does it clip off or does it require soldering
Hello all. I don't post very often, if at all, but I had a question and was wondering if those who received their handset recently could answer. I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Expansys (USA Store), and I received it today. I opened it up and was expecting the handset box to have that security sticker that I've seen other unboxings on YouTube to have. It didn't. I was also surprised that I have Spanish / Mexican writing in addition to English on the outside of my box. I opened my box and instead of the UK plug, I was given a Mexican (?) plug. I'm not sure, the plug said "ME" on the side. I also received warranty books in English and Spanish. Sorry, I'm not sure how to speak Spanish or Mexican so I may be mixing it up. I tried searching these forums, but I haven't seen a thread on this yet.
So, I know there are some people that received their handsets today from Expansys, and I was wondering if they received the same thing?
Sorry, if this has been covered before, but I'm just curious. Thanks.
I was about to make a post about the same thing.
My Nexus also came without a security seal, US charger, and English/Spanish manuals. Also, on the inside of my phone it does not say Made in Korea. Instead it says Korean Product.
But I did not order from Expansys.
Thanks for your response, aeox. I'm thankful I wasn't the only one that received a handset from someplace else. I'm hoping that everything else internally is the same, i.e. same sourced parts. I have flashbacks to when I was on Blackberry and people compared country of manufacture to determine problems. Lol.
I'm naive about electricity also. Would someone be able to tell me if it's safe to use the "ME" plug in US sockets? Could I use my SGSII plug to charge the Nexus? Just want to be sure and not fry my phone or my house.
Thanks again, and sorry for all the questions.
I'm kind of worried too. Since none of the labels on the box or phone itself have all "regular" labels that is seen in every video out there. Especially the sticker inside the back of the phone.
Korean Product vs. Made in Korea by Samsung.
Does any one else have different accessories or packaging?

Can't say that I have dealt with this... but it might be safest to stick to USB charges until you find your answer.

I order from Negri, seems like it came from spain or something...
Any chance of some pictures guys?
That thread got kind of long full of posts from all over the place. I probably missed it.
I'll try to post some pictures tonight when I get home.
aeox: Yeah, mine says "PRODUCTO COREANO / KOREAN PRODUCT"
Regarding doubts of some batches are made in Korea or not; they are all made in Korea. Even though the phone says "Producto Coreano/Product of Korea", the bottom side of the white box has a lable that says "Phone: Made in Korea, Imported Accessories individually marked" So theres no doubt the phone is manufactured in Korea and the accessories in China as labled.
I just got mine FRESH. I did not purchase it at an online retailer like negri or expansis but from a wholesale company that I have connections with. They seem to have the same batch as many of you mentioned; no security stickers and spanish and english on packaging and documentation. I saw the entire lot that they have and its the same thing. Theyre a reputable company, they wouldnt mickymouse with such a high end device, as anyone will certainly expect folks like us will put anything and everything about it under a microscope.
Sounds a little bit more reassuring. But I personally still would rather have a made in Korea by Samsung sticker with the FCC logo instead of the simple cheap looking one I have.

I completely understand but, know that this isnt a standard US/CA handset where you get a nice FCC seal etc. These phones were meant for a different region with different standards. Also, my hypothesis is that we dont get a samsung seal of quality because this isnt a fully Samsung developed developed device. This is a joint effort lead by Google and Samsung happens to be the lead manufacturer. If it was a pure Samsung device, i trust samsung would have put in their own in-house Exynos SoC instead of Texas Instrument OMAP right?
I dont know what the standards for Mexico mobile devices are either (or if these handsets were even meant for mexico in the first place), but DAMN this phone looks sexy as fcuk. I love it. And you should too, dont let a little packaging issue take away the fact that you have the next badass Google Nexus device.
I recently bought a C6503 from a German eBay seller, but it wasn't sealed in any way. More importantly, the phone had clearly been removed at least once from the plastic bag it came in, because there was a dent from the camera on the other side. It had been reinserted the other way around, then sent to me. I returned the phone.
I've now imported another C6503 from phonehouse.de and it too has arrived unsealed - neither the box nor the phone arrived sealed in any way. It mostly looks like it's been untouched. Some unboxing videos on YouTube show sealed versions, others not.
Which was yours? The most important reason for it to be sealed, to me, is because I want to condition the battery before turning the phone on, and if someone has used it before me then there's a chance I won't be able to. Plus, I like new stuff
Was your box sealed? Was the phone sealed in the plastic bag when in the box?
I bought my ZL at Amazon.de and it was not sealed. But I am sure that device was unused. The plastic protector was originally on the phone, also USB cable and earphones were not touched.
I know sometimes the box must be opened to insert local guarantee sheet, manuals, etc. in the box. Sometimes also some local changes are made on the device.
I don't have any troubles with my phone and I am really surprised when I see so many posts where users state their problems. Camera is great, battery life is excellent, scrolling is smooth, really no problems with my ZL, although the package was not sealed.

Okay, fair enough. Meanwhile, slightly worrying for me is that when I 'first' turned the phone on today, it booted straight away in German and didn't ask me to select a language or any other setup. It all looked new, but this suspects me to think someone else has turned it on before me. I don't know if there's a way I can check, but I was pretty disappointed by this.
I'm wondering however if it's a German retail thing, because this is the second order I've had from Germany (from different suppliers) and both were completely unsealed. Perhaps there's a law that requires them to check it boots up before shipping..?

The language is determined by the customization, different regions have different customizations. Mine came with English (UK) pre-selected.

My ZL was bought at Amazon.de as I told you in my previous post and the box was not sealed, but as I remembered the first thing when I turned the phone on was selecting the language and setup guide ...
In general, I'm also wondering what happens with those products that had been sold through internet sales and later returned by customers and of course already used? Is there any rule that buyer must get completely new device ?

Thank you for this. The phone is probably fine, but for the time being there is doubt in my mind.
I don't suppose anyone knows if there's a system menu I can access that will tell me how many times the phone has been booted? So far, I have only turned it on once, so if that number is anything more than one and can be shown on the system, I will have my answer.
I'd love to keep it, and not have the hassle of returning it, but it's such a lot of money and I want to love my handset 100%, and not have any doubt. It does seem strange that it didn't ask me for the setup guide, and the phone was also already set to vibrate which I thought was strange. Also, the Developer Options were already exposed, but I was of the belief that these need to be enabled by pressing the version number seven times.
The only thing is that I haven't yet put a SIM card in it, so I don't know if that means the phone wouldn't go straight to Setup.
Bought it straight from Sony Shop. That shop also sells other Sony products. Sealed.

Bought a white one from Amazon.de and whilst the box was sealed the unit itself was defective - the metal around the lens was chipped and the glass side near the camera button was cracked. I sent it back yesterday and will get a refund. When I booted it up, it went straight into the German menu without asking me to choose language.
Anyway, I ordered another ZL (this time black) as I saw a cracking deal on Amazon.it who were charging just €310! Price now back up to €499.

If a "new" phone doesn't boot into
setup (language choice) then it is not new! And, obviously, if it's broken in the box and the box is undamaged it's not new! Law is strict, if it is sold as new in product description it should be in factory condition ie. As left factory after fabrication...sealed and not having been switched on!

Exactly my thoughts, which is why I was surprised, since it was ordered direct from Amazon.de and I've never had any 'returns' passed off as a new phone before from them. Anyway, it went straight back as it was clear that either it was already used or someone at the Sony factory didn't do their job properly in passing appropriate QA tests.

Good luck!! It'll be worth waiting for, but I'd be wary of the 4.2.2 update! Lots having troubles with it in other threads. I have had nothing but grief on many devices ! Out of the box on 4.1.2 easily the best android phone I have ever owned (there have been many ) and I am not going to spoil it with 4.2.2
Hello everyone,
it's been 3 years ago since I've been rooting my Huawei P8Max and still have it and working fine. Although the stabilisator of my camer is out of place so it's making buzz sounds when using the camera and making bad photos. But also outdated too?
Anyway, I'm looking for a new phone and now it's between the Mate 20 and the Mate 20X. However... it's the same story again with the P8Max: not available for purchase here in the Netherlands.... What a [email protected]#*& joke! If I buy one from Chinese webstore, I may end up having Chinese apps with Chinese characters in lock screen and chinese characters in 'Configs - apps' which I cannot remove it despite I rooted it.
So what is the best place to buy the Mate 20X? German Mediamarks doesn't send to the Netherlands? Amazon? Or other places?
And what about the root possibilities? Has it changed much? Possible to root either the Mate 20 or Mate 20X? What can I do if rooted?

Register on Mailboxde.com , they will provide you with their German address and a code. Order online from Mediamarkt.de and use the address Mailboxde provided, and in the name field put the code. Once they receive the package, it will be reshipped to your Dutch address for a fee. 15-20 Euros if I recall, depending on size and weight.
Read their website, it explains all in detail.
I believe you can buy it off clove and they are also including the m-pen and flip case cover. There are normally quite a few available from either Norway or Switzerland on eBay that have international shipping.
Why is that device so little spread with stores ? I bought it in the end at Saturn here in Germany, and I know its available at Mediamarkt. But then thats almost the same store these days.
But other than that, its hardly anywhere available in stores, local or online. How come ?
Is it that new ? I dont know when it was released here in germany. But since the above big local stores have it, why not more ? And especially online stores. Is that phone going to be one of those hardly introduced ones ?

Exactly my thoughts. I thought Huawei has learned from the Huawei P8Max which was way to hard to get it and yet it happens with the 20X too!
I bought mine on Chinese webstore and I won't make the mistake again as I know there are European, Global and Chinese version. I didn't knew that back in 2015.
Mine was Chinese and it contained a lot of chinese bloat and apps I don't understand. German Mediamarkt sells the Mate 20X but Dutch Mediamarks doesn't?? Wtf?? Now I either got the choices to get it from European eBay sellers or Amazon.co.uk. I am only worried about the warranty between the countries and some has reported they got problems with the OLED screen after 4 days of use. And another thing is, I thought the Mate 20X has theTwilight version too but nope, only in silver and blue and I've seen the Mate20 Twilight in real store and I like it. So after a week of searching lots of informations and all, I'm thinking to go for the Mate20 here in the Netherlands to save myself from lots of troubles and headache. Shipping also takes long too :/
After gathering the info, this is what I've been told:
AL-00 is Chinese version
L29 is Europer version or non-Chinese
I never understood why there is always these differences with smartphones. Its like here in germany, when there is a new Smartphone introduced, its usually that we dont get all the colors (why the hell not???) or we only get the 256 GB version or only the 128 GB version or this or that, the other versions are always available in other countries only. I dont get it. Nowadays its slowly getting a bit more in regards to colors, that its not usually only the black, white & silver (or grey) version of phones that you can get here. But still, with a lot of phones its still the usual "This Version is not available here!" or so.
People are tired of only the basic colors by now. From different-size memory on the phone models i dont even wanna start, you only always get one model or maybe two, while there are in fact 3 or 4. Who decides what amount of memory people here "would want" to have, or which color we can get and why.
I am glad i found the Mate 20 X in Saturn & Mediamarkt in town, so I had it easy in this case. I could simply go there and buy it, but honestly i would have preferred ordering online with Amazon.
I think I made my choice: I'll go for the Mate 20 Twilight in my country to save myself lots of troubles and headache and eventually shipping when something is broken or some problems on the OLED screen of the Mate 20X. Just the colors black, blue and silver are simply boring, all my family have the basic black or grey colors of their iPhone, Samsung and Huawei. It would have been an insta-buy if Huawei sells the mate 20X Twilight in Netherlands too but nope, their logic is flawed, big time. #@&* it.
Is the Mate 20 root-able? And what can I do with it once it's rooted? Or should I keep it stock? I do know for sure it will have no more the chinese apps and characters like my P8Max have when I bought it from gizok. My cousin has the P10 from our country and he has no gibberish apps and I also have seen the Mate 20 in real life in a store, so beautiful phone And 3.5mm audiojack too!!!
In addition to the very little availability of the Mate 20 X (whyever), there are also hardly any good cases for it. Already asked UAG (Urban Armor Gear) which I used a lot over the years for many phones, but even they dont have any immediate plans to make a case for that phone. I suppose Huawei f**** that up, with releasing the phone so little compared to the other Mate 20 models. I dont get these companies, I really dont.
Yes, I experienced that about hardly good cases indeed! I was searching for good cases and the ones I found or suits my needs or I like, are not available for Mate 20X.
One more reason to go for the Mate 20 non-X. It's really a shame :/
True, but that doesnt make me scare away from the phone. There are several reasons, for me, why i wouldnt go for the other Mate 20 versions. For me, that large display is simply awesome. In addition, something i really hate on all the phones that have come to use these "supposedly" fancy edge displays. Samsung started this, and since the S6 Edge I learned one thing, rounded displays are prown to being broken very quickly. And repair costs of those is always much higer than with non-edge displays. The other Mate 20s have, as far as I know, all a rounded display, and already for that they are not interesting for me. Also, and i know that seems to be something one sooner or later has to get used to (but as long as I dont have to, why should I), i hate Headphone adapters. And the longer I can avoid using them, i will.
But the size of this phone is what really attracts me. Guess I can only hope some better cases come out in time.

No, only the Mate 20 Pro.
Even so, but the other Mate 20s dont have that appeal to me.
Ye, I really would love a huge display and that's why I've been searching to death. I don't care about what everyone says about the size. The OLED display is also really nice too.
Filtering the search results on eBay shows some sellers from UK and EU which is pretty nice. They shouldn't be Chinese versions?
These are search results:
https://www.ebay.nl/sch/GSMs/9355/i...te%2020%20X&_nkw=mate+20+x&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=3
And a phone without a 3.5mm audiojack means: a very big no-no, end of story. Adapters are prone to be broken very soon or to get lost.
Hi Folks,
Apologies if incorrect forum.
I'm looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ / N9750 (Snapdragon variant) in the Aura Blue colour, new or pristine condition.
Tried numerous sites (Ebay, Tobydeals, AliExpress, practically any half reputable looking store on Google search, all the eglobalcentral's, in all languages!), contacting sales teams at each etc but to no joy...
Don't really need 5G, live in the middle of the sticks (UK/Ireland).
Don't really want any other colour, seen the Aura Blue and it just looks gorgeous.
Don't want the UK model, as someone eloquently described "its like buying a Lamborghini and opening the engine bay only to find a large cow pat inside"
(SamDung lol)
Anyone any advice?
Any help is appreciated!

Since this phone lives or should live 100% of its life in a case I would be more concerned about getting the 512 gb 12 gb ram variant than color.
This phone needs a good case; the bevel is nonexistent, it's heavy and loves to land on its corners when not face planting. You can get Bolt cases in a variety of colors and they work great with the 10+
I think I have the blue... lol.

Sorry. Maybe direct from Samsung? With the Note 20/20 Ultra out, you may not have a lot of choices.

I just grab a new one. If you really hate the rear panel cover color you could replace it (heat gun & pick tool)..
The frame rail not so easily...
I can't see any of my case... who cares?
This phone will get trashed without a good case.

I've been doing that dude, for about 6 weeks or more checking in now and again.
It is a Best Buy exclusive here in the usa. It is my fav phone.
Disregard, just seen that the frame is also blue on the Aura blue...
The 10+ is holding its value surprisingly well due to the soft economy and Samsung's goof ups on its latest flagship phones.
Might want to grab the black. Not that much difference.
The blue is scarce due to demand; I be more concerned with getting the 512 gb variant rather than color.
Where would you go then for UK person to buy a new one?
eglobal and usual are seemingly OOS.
I have the aura glow one and it's lovely but shows dirt even when in a clear case, it's impossible to keep clean.
I think the best option is to buy a aura blue back and fit it myself. I think it would look brilliant with the silver frame where if you buy the phone in aura blue it's a blue matching frame which doesn't look as good.
All you need to get the old one off is a hair dryer and a suction cup.
Still trying to find this phone, having no luck - in any colour.
Anyone any recommendations of in stock for UK buyer of the snapdragon model?
(Preferably 512GB but not entirely fussed, as long as it is brand new)
Keep searching a couple times a day. It might be buried in the search results... dig around.
You want the 512 snapdragon variant...
