White Galaxy NOTE

Folks, I'm looking for the Galaxy NOTE- WHITE version, Can someone guide me where i can get India (Preferred in Bangalore)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krumbs:
Thanks! Did not know about this. One feature i missed when i moved from an iPhone linked to my MobileMe account.

Any idea what the impact is on battery life?

you say its an amazing phone good features n u buying it then why :( ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
sooo today i went to the samsung service center for DOA replacement and shocked by knowing 3 people including me have screen issues. the service center did gave me a DOA certificate but they have taken my flip case with the box. is it (flip case) supposed to be taken by the service center for issueing a DOA certificate???

now after giving the DOA certificate and the box the shopkeeper is telling me that i wont be getting the Flip case with the replacement and have to wait atleast a week. now im feeling very sad since for the worst quality control of samsung i have to loose the flip case.:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
guys plz plz plz help me i'm in a huge problem after getting the DOA certificate from the Service center now the Store is refusing to give me the replacement. They are saying that the service center guys have not put the flip case inside the box and the phone can not be replaced without the flip case. plz help me guys.:(:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ambition8753:
Dont panic dude..!.. just check the same with the Service center. If there is some communication gap between service center guys & Store, just call and make them talk to eachother to sort it out.. You will be getting what is rightfully yours.. :D

requesting info

hey all you lovely guys!

i need some help, hence this request.

my wife will be passing by Ahmedabad in a few days, and i am debating on whether she should buy the Note for me from there.

i live in kenya, and this may be my only chance to get it (? release date in kenya?).

here are a few questions you may be able to answer.

where can she get the best deal?

where is the best price?

what sort of guarantee can i get for the device?

does it come unlocked?

do they all come with protect-cases?

thank you for your help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
She can get it from Vijay Sales or Croma showromm (best for service bt little expensive around 32.5 to 33 k INR).

Or if she can purchase from local store, she will get it nearby 31000 INR (+/- 500).

Dont have idea about international warranty, but it should be.

Yes, all indian phones are unlocked by default.

for this u have to hurry, because samsung announced free flip covers only for first 100000 notes....:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
Its not. I have just verified. The warranty card clearly says "Samsung India Warranty". So, the warranty will not be valid outside India.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
The flipcase that comes along with the Note is absolutely useless. How do they expect us to take calls with that case? Shouldn't that case be easily removable?

I'm never going to use this piece of crap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rhn:
Apart from the shoddy build quality, what is wrong with the flipcase? You can talk with the flap closed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
Its not practical. Try talking with the case, the case edge pokes into your hand and if you talk with it closed, you have to open the case in the middle of the conversation to make any other operation....Samsung could have given us a better case.

The case that came with the Samsung Galaxy S2 was very good.

I had to go out and buy a good case. :cool:

Guys

I am leaving india tomorrow night and would not return for another year at least.

I have seen this phone today and fell in love with it by having 2 mins in my hand. Currently holding iPhone 4s and had enough for four generations of these phones.

I am in hyderabad, i looked around Ameerpet and the price i got is around 32,500 INR and White is not available anywhere.

Can someone suggest me any shops where i can preferably the white one around 31K?

I know its too late here in india, Your attention is very much appreciated
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] craige:

my second replaced NOTE's screen is also suffering from "black spots while video playing" and the service center guys told me they can not do anything about this and they have informed the R&D team but they have not replied yet. and the new screen has a dead pixel as well so they offered me to replace the screen but i'm bit concerned about if my phone gets scratched during screen replacement.So guys who have replaced their screen plz cmnt about the quality of the servicing.:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] harsh.wiz:
I am going to wait till Saturday morning before I will start contacting them again if the status is not updated. Also, since the flip cover seems to come in a separate packaging (at least what I can make out from the photos online), I doubt that is going to be included. If it is there, then it will be a pleasant surprise for me.[/QUOTE]

Still coming with Box Pack. Remember, Samsung is a business, full of Drama, they know when to target customers when, there is no expiration to this offer! The flip covers are free while supplies last! Earlier, they said a limited number was available just to lure customers to purchase the 1st batch of Notes.

How do u connect your HD to network ...can you plz explain???:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fulltank:
Will the price come down ?

I am very tempted to buy the note.So far I was reluctant as - I am using legendary HTC HD2 (with ICS now) for 1.5 years and a true upgrade needs more screen space.When Note was announced ,I know its the one!.But I kept calm to see if price gets better (though it's worth 30K).Now the MWC is near and expected new device announcements.With more competition (from quad core devices etc),the prices may come down further (25K :p) - what you guys think ? , Then will there be a another device in the same size soon ?, Another worry is about the known quality issue with display - will it be solved soon ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Coolkriss:
You either use a network HDD our share the files on your laptop and access them across your network.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ambition8753:

It sucks that we don't get regular firmware updates for the Note. :(

Hopefully we will get ICS along with the rest of the World...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
seriously.........:mad: i daily keep checking for firmware update bt no luck.

not to spoil the party but AFAIK we wont b gettin ICS before May :eek:

Coz nexus release is pushed to march, if note gets update by that time, there is no reason buyin nexus. So obviously google wont do that.

neways waiting for similar update of LA4. :cool:

Guyz I have to order my note today....so am kinda confused as to from where to buy it...like flipkart is selling at 32700 with 30days replacement warranty..and out in the showrooms its almost at the same price but i doubt they'll give me the same replacement offer...they'll hardly give me 2 days for that....So wat should I do..buy it from flipkart or the local samsung dealers :confused: ???!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
i dont know about delhi.. but the most popular samsung dealers in bangalore give excellent deals plus full theft and damage insurance for a year. some of them through in a screen guard too for the same price. i think buying from a dealer is good at this point of time as prices have become stable. plus you always have someone to go to in case of an issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lingamkrishnan:
you can go for flipkart..they are very reliable..fastest delivery :) i got my note less than 24 hours in time with freebies like Samsung HM100 bluetooth headset and flipcover..other than flipkart..we can trust sulekha for some offers n delivery within a week time :D i dont think any other stores can deliver better than these two!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fulltank:
You can look also at here .. Its 32700-2701 = 29999/- (cheapest online offer i could find atm -COD and + reviews too...)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Azeem07:
^^^Issue aint the price friends...the thing is i want to be kind of safe...after reading so many posts of screen issues..am in favour of flipkart coz of the 30days replacement policy :eek:...sites like sulekha and buytheprice doesnt offer any :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lingamkrishnan:
then you can surely go ahead with flipkart...they are de best in online shopping!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:

Extract it

Open pc odin, but here u have to select modem(phone) not pda, n point to extracted rom file. So after that you will have currant ddla5 rom with old modem. I manage same to get rid of call drop

I have no lag in contact

Try this, backup contact, with export to sd

Now delete call logs, go to setting - application - all - contact - clear data

Restore contacts from sd card
