T

Mine didnt turned up till about half 7 like was doing my head in I wanted it so bad. But the courier company citylink did say with it being Christmas I could receive as late as 9 o'clock. So he it not turned up yet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
It transpires the text I got was a spam :mad:

I just assumed, as I was waiting for a delivery from them that it was from them. Turns out it wasn't and they still can't give me a delivery date.

I'd cancel and look elsewhere but the price is pretty keen through them. So I guess they have me by the short and curlies :(

I guess going by there 2 to 8 business day delivery forecast I should give them another day or so anyway as counting Monday to Friday only it's been 6 clear days so far not counting all day on the Thursday that I placed the order.

My worry is that they obviously don't carry stock (although the web site states that they have them in stock) so if Samsung are struggling to fulfil orders on a global scale I could be waiting for ever.

Hey ho. Patience was never my strong point. I WANNA PLAY :mad:

Have you heard anything from simply electronics ckyllr?

Be interesting to find out if anyone is getting hold of these things.

I have used samsung international to honor my warranty from a note bought from newegg. I messaged samsung usa for a new screen since I cracked mine. They gave me the contact information for samsung international. I dropped it off at fedex with a prepaid label mailed it and in 2 weeks got one with a new screen. I don't understand how I didn't pay as I expected to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deymayor:
Got mine for $560 and haven't used my Transformer since. The size is only surprising after a few days (previously using iphone, then Skyrocket for a few weeks.) Now, even the Nexus felt cramped. Lack of warranty is my only worry now.

--- --- --- ---

A damn proud Galaxy Note owner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] legion1911:
So this seems to contradict what some write about no warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
Yeah it is frustrating waiting so long I was dying to get line, but the company did deliverbits not a con, guess patience is your only friend right know, I will tell you one thing its worth the wait!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Must admit when i.look at my.*cough* iphone 4s its tiny compared with the note beast. . Think ive decided iphone is being sold and im sticking with the note :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Croak:
I've also had good luck with Samsung honoring warranties. My first SGS I9000 was a CPW unit, grey market into Canada and bought on Craigslist.

Internal storage RAM got corrupted, contacted Samsung Canada, did not bull**** them, told them I bought it 3rd party and no official reciept. No problem they said, it was still under warranty. Got a pre-paid FedEx label via email to ship it to Montreal, sent it out that day (just phone, no back cover, no battery), and ten days later a BRAND NEW I9000 (full box with accessories, etc) with CPW firmware was sent to me from Montreal.

Last year, I bought a US market Tab 10.1 32GB WiFi model from a Best Buy in California, months before it was available in Canada (and Canada never got the 32GB version). It had a "Sleep of Death" problem. Once again, contacted Samsung Canada, once again got a free shipping label to Montreal, shipped just the tablet, once again got a NEW (or at least different) unit back, 32GB (though not the full retail package this time).

When Bell Canada released the I9000M with AT&T compatible frequencies, I "hooked up" another XDA member with one, sent it to him in California. He ended up having USB storage problems (real common on the I9000M), and Samsung America took care of him, even though he bought it gray market. It may have helped that I sent him a copy of the original receipt with the unit, so there was proof of purchase.

TL;DR, Samsung is pretty good about honoring warranties. They are not REQUIRED to honor warranties on gray market devices, but it's been my experience that if it's a genuine Samsung issue and not something user-related, they'll take care of you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
I don't know if it makes a difference, but when I go my note from overseas, I registered it on the uk Samsung website, if it wasn't eligible for warranty surely it wouldn't have let me register my device using the serial number.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
If you have twitter ask samsung and they will point you in the right direction. I even got a phone call to set up the warranty replacement
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] keane007:
Mine's arrived a few days ago, and it's a big leap for me from a non-smartphone user to this beast. I came in this forum taming my beast to a purrr-ing kitty.

My 1st post. So overwhelmed at this forum's SOp.

I got it off ebay for $640 w/ 2 covers and rooted tweeks pre-installed (EU model, it's like new, I don't mind). People are dumping 'em in ebay saying they can't get use to the size and downgrade to their S2/iPhone. Being I'm a noobie to smartphones, this phablet is easy to adjust to for me so far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
$640 is a lot of money for a used phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
Not at the moment as new are going for upwards of $800. I'd say he got a good deal, especially with the accessories. At most, it was used for only a month or so.

Did you expect used Notes to sell already for $400?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckyllr:
Nope but my Amazon order with Global Mobile is shipping soon. So I think might cancel my order with Simply Electronics even though it was about $75 less.

When did you order yours cliver? I ordered mine on Jan. 9 and it's been what... 7 days but I don't thinking you can count non-working days. I might give them till end of next week and if they don't ship, I'll just keep my Amazon order.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Ordered mine on Thursday 5th Jan @ 09:30gmt.

So that's 6 or 7 working days depending on if you count the 5th.

They quote 3 to 8 working days so I guess I'll give them another day or two.

Can't find a UK price anywhere near it at the moment. Even used ones are going for a lot more on eBay
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
I bought new for $650
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xristiano:
About to buy a used one, purchased from New Egg, for $600. What do you guys think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogconnect:
I got new from Amazon fulfilled , 2 weeks ago for $670.

$600 is too much for a used opened box from Newegg.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xristiano:
Agreed. However, the cheapest Note on Amazon as of today is $720 or $700 used. And New Egg is out of stock. (The $600 phone is from a private seller who purchased the phone from New Egg.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
So did I ($550 actually, had an Amazon gift certificate). Point is, we could re-sell them today and actually make money since new value is approaching $800...

Get any one you can for $600-$650 while you can (used or otherwise). They have gone up in value and the $600 mark is the current sweet spot, new or otherwise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckyllr:
I'll keep you posted on status on my order. Not sure if they handle orders from the states and UK differently but yours is approaching their max of 8 days.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
I know thats the point its why I started the thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
I think thats awesome from what I have seen them going for lately
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajamils:
Where can I find the white version for cheap? On ebay they are going around $800, which is way to much for a phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YFY:
I got my Note with a 2 year plan on 30th Nov.

2 friends of mine who wanted the same phone and plan approached

the service provider locally but were told there is no stock now.

The demand seems to outweigh the supply here.

I think this is the case worldwide too.

Now we know why Samsung is the world's number 1.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
I notice simply electronics are now showing it as out of stock. Possibly due to the snotagram I sent them :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barkotron:
Couldn't agree more. I decided to stick my work SIM in my old Galaxy S and use that instead of the ten-year-old Nokia I have, and it feels SO SMALL. I'm finding it hard to imagine that I ever really did anything with it.

Unfortunately, it also means I'm going to be stuck for what to upgrade to until/unless they bring out the Note 2...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ukdutypaid:
Cliver. Man, you've got me worked up too now. I'm now twitching, willing yours to arrive. Simply showing 13 in stock right now.... I'd take that personally, at this point. lol

You have to put us out of your misery and tell us when it does turn up!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
You can bet I'll let you know when it eventually gets here :D

Just had a reply from a second email enquiry I submitted yesterday...

I guess at least they are being honest. I'll see what "any time soon" amounts to :rolleyes:

Your right the web site shows in stock again now so hopefully they have had a delivery...

Watch this space :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lightfire:
I had a very negative purchasing experience with them when I ordered a note. They always seemed to have an excuse for it not shipping. Eventually I did get a refund, so that was the good news.

for USA: Expansys USA - shipped right out. Call them instead of ordering online.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ukdutypaid:
Crowdsource the complaint. All of us phone up/email "Where's Clive's order".. Whole of the XDA community.. You do not want that bad PR.. hahah....

Clive baby, we're rooting for ya...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Now that's what friends are for :D

But how can you root it for me before I've even got it?;);)

@lightfire: Expansys UK site says they are ordered on request so I doubt it will be quicker at this stage. It's £100 more as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
Cant believe yous are having issues with simply electronics, mine went through a breeze and that was just before Christmas. Have yous waited the 8 working days yet? Cause they guaranteed the 8 days thing before Christmas. Is it still the same? What do you get if they fail to hit there 8 day guarantee?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
I think it's just because they had a run of orders and are struggling to get them in, as seems to be the case globally at the moment.

The delivery notice on their web site says

The use of the term usually gives them a get out clause so no guarantees.

I'm just on the 8 day limit now but I don't think there will be any compensation offered.

TBH I'll be happy as long as I end up getting it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
You ma man have ice water in your veins.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Just a realist :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vileofmsz:
I have a chance to purchase a used Note for $575 or pay more for a new one? Do you guys think it is worth it or will the price go down next month once the AT&T version comes out? Thanks in advance for any inputs!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Idk, but I do know I am planning on selling my Note in the very near future! Not that I don't like the device, I do, it's just that I was really keen on getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 all along, and since I thought that may never go to market, I bought the Note instead. Now that the 7.7 DID come to market, and now that I DO have it, my Note has effectively been rendered redundant to my needs, thus I am selling it after only 5 weeks of owning it! (I know, my girlfriend doesn't understand it...)

If anyone's interested, before I put it up, send me a PM!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
go for the international version for 575
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
+1 when you buy in US, you live with a very limited seller warranty. Not saying that's the defining reason for going with an AT&T Note but it is a factor.

I get the lack of timely updates and bloat ware with the AT&T version and I liked the home button on my international version too but all things considered, I think it's the way for me to go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckyllr:
That seems like their standard "can" message to all their customers awaiting for their product to ship. I had it with them... They didn't even reply to my message in time. My order from Amazon will be here tomorrow so I just cancelled with them through paypal dispute. I got my refund in like 40 minutes... if they can give me a refund that fast, why can't they ship their item that they say they have in stock that fast! I think it's worth $75 price difference to have it right now. Sorry Clive... hope you get yours soon. Keep us posted to let us know when you get it.

Oh..did anyone notice that they (Simply Electronics) raise the price on their Note? It was $624 when I ordered but now it's $699 which is same as Amazon.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

What? You are already abandoning us? I'm still waiting for my Note to get here... I bought the International Note because of you! j/k By the way, does the Galaxy Tab 7.7 have phone calling capabilities? Now that's going to be very hard to carry around with you... (I'm using my galaxy tab as my phone now which has 7" screen and it's too ackward to be carried around with me... it's too big. Using this temporarily till my Note gets here since I sold my captivate already.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
i want a pic of someone talking on a 7.7
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Me to. I considered trying to change my order as they have no idea when they will deliver the note but think the 7.7 may be a step too large :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckyllr:
Just research the hack out of the Tab 7.7 and it does have phone capablities and it's better than the original tab since it also has a receiver so you use it as a phone oppose to just using either as a speaker phone or with headsets. I tried to see if anyone actually using this as a phone but couldn't find any but Jade Eyed Wolf has one ...maybe he can send us a pic of him using it as a phone? Are you using this as your sole device? Or do you carry a phone as well?

I was tempted to get the 7.7 since it's actually is cheaper than the Note but ... I don't think I can use it as a phone. Because I have been using the original tab all weekend... it's just too cumbersome to carry with me all the time. I just keep leaving it in my car and missing calls or messages.

Note all the way for me. I have built a cardboard box mockup of it and have been carrying that around to get use to it and it's not bad at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
Ya note is the limit for carrying. It still silly for holding up to the ear.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Strill getting the run around

Still getting the run around from Simply Electronics.

They insist they don't sell out of stock items yet still can't even give me a forecast of delivery :mad:

Wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt as the price is keen. They are advertising it for £10 more now.

I have just found this from handtec online

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/5504/samsung-galaxy-note-n7000--16gb--sim-free-unlocked--blue-/b78a3e04879b99ff49556a5c5a891c43

It's more expensive but I emailed them and they say they have stock available for immediate delivery and I can collect if I wish. I guess they can't be bull ****ting me if they are happy for me to collect.

Anyone used them before/got any comments on them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckyllr:
I'm just glad I cancelled my order with them. Now a new proud owner of the infamous Note. It's a beast...at first I just couldn't get use to how big it is but now.. I have gotten use to it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Now I green with envy as well as hopping mad :(:mad::D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckyllr:
Hope it comes through for you Cliver... Can't beat Amazon on delivery that's for sure even though I did have to pay the higher price but it's definitely worth it to have it in my hands!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Cancelled order with Simply Electronics. They just wouldn't come clean.

Ordered with Handtec and getting it tomorrow morning. I have tracking number and everything.

Won't sleep a wink tonight ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Got It

Got it this morning. Just charging it up now :D:D

Loving it :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajamils:
Congrats. Mine is with Fedex, with expected delivery of Tuesday. These will be tough couple of days :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cliver:
Not long to wait now ajamils :)

It will be worth it, I love mine. It's now rooted and running Checkrom's revo notehd rom it runs sweet as a nut and you can configure it as you like including what bloatware you like.

I love the size. I can do so much more with it comfortably which I couldn't do on my HTC HD2.

I also have to say the service I got from Handtec was excellent. Well worth the extra.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajamils:
Fedex delivered it one day earlier :). Got the phone in my hands it is absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of my lovely Sharp 902 from in the days.
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
Holy ****!!

I know how to enter cwm with key combination :D:D

who wants to know my secret? :p
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
what version ?

when the first time the screen show up, keep press-release the vol-down button

or

connect to pc, adb reboot recovery
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
the first doesnt work, not keep press-release and not just vol down... and adb doestn work for me when i got bootloop
[LG Optimus Black] desirat:
pressing power and any hardware key several times
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Keycombo recovery on CM.

If it's CM, the keycombo of recovery are called by init.rc

service prb /sbin/prb
user root
disabled
oneshot
keycodes 114 116

Looking at qwerty.kl (default keyboard layout)

--- cut ---
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA

So, the key combination = Vol Down + Power button :)

If there's bootloop, but those button combination not working, then service prb /sbin/prb aren't called yet, so it won't work. It might happen when the bootloader not initialized correctly..

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
then how ?
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
oh so its was fun just for me? :( :D
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
?? you don't even indicate on wich rom you are...

If it's on stock rom without flasing any kernel, yes I want to know your secret.

Otherwise, no. I already know how to enter in recovery
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
on cm7 :) i didnt know that, just pressing the buttons and it was successful... but as i see it wasnt secret... just 4me... dont know if its work on stock or doesnt
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
Hello fellow XDA'ers! Very recently I have been playing around with Photoshop and I have tried to make simple yet elegant Boot Animations. I am learning new stuff everyday and hope that after a while I'll be able to create some very unique and beautiful ones. So take a look and if you can, tips and criticism will be welcomed :D

I will post the animations as gifs so it might not fully represent how it actually looks like. I also have a 480x800 phone resolution, so at the beginning I might only provide that kind of resolution.

If you like my work, Press the Thanks Button! :D

Boot Animation #1:

For this one I grabbed an Abstract Wallpaper from WOW, For The Horde's guild logo and Placed Andy in the center. Applied some blur and color configurations and voila!

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4wx2pau5cuv4ad6

Instructions:

1. You have to be ROOT for this to work.

2. Download the zip file and place it in your SD Card

3. Download ROM Toolbox as you need 2 of it's features. First being a Root Browser, cut the bootanimation.zip and paste it in /system/media.

4. After that go to the third page, Interface, and open Boot Animations.

5. Open Menu then click on "Backup" followed by "Restore"

6. Click "Reboot" and it will load the new Boot Animation.

ENJOY!
[Android Themes] Mr. Gauge:
thank you very much!
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
Boot Animation #2:

For this animation, I took a wallpaper with Andy on top of a Circuit Board and I simply typed up "android" using the Droid Sans Font. Added a drop shadow and an outer glow as effects.

The maximum gif file size is 10MB while this one is 20MB, so I could only create an online representation using 10 Frames. This is way smoother than the previous animation. So take a look, and tell me what you think!

[Android Themes] -Grift-:
its for hdpi ?
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
Yes, it's at a 480x800 Resolution :)
[Android Themes] haq.abdul:
Where is the first boot animation?

Good job on the second one.
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
The image link has been Fixed :D
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
Boot Animation #3:

This one was made within an hour or so. I got the Android style from Androidstickers.com and I placed a suitable background. I used Opacity increments of 5% since doing it by 1% takes TOO much time, and the final products are very close so yea, enjoy!

EDIT: Oops, forgot the download link!

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?72ab2bmohkbsbjv
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
Boot Animation #4:

So as a request, I used the same "Android Army" picture from Androidstickers.com and added a couple of backgrounds, added some shadowing effects and also a bit of blur etc. Hope you like it :)

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dehsiab4a0wmo3t
[Android Themes] AllAboutAndroids:
Boot Animation #5:

So for this one, I basically based it on my favorite ROM which is EaglesBlood and I spent some time cooking it up since I had to look for some good images, and then I applied a bunch of effects, cleaned it out a bit and other stuff. Well, enjoy :D

And the Download link is: http://www.mediafire.com/?s9mjroqh9bvx4sm

so I am on stock rooted el29. I seem to have lines moving up and down my screen sometimes when charging. they are very faint and best seen on a white background. anyone else have this happen?

[Fascinate General] er.shuu:
I have a samsung galaxy sch-i500 fascinate whatever it's called.

I want to use it for browsing the web and **** over wifi, no 4g 3g or any of that expensive horse poop.

I had it, working fine, but it was full of old texts, pictures, messages, etc etc that I wanted to get rid of, so I tried a factory restore thing. Worse decision possible. Now when I turn the phone on, it is on the home screen just long enough for me to select something before the screen blacks out and then opens up to a menu where it asks me for my language, then I have to dial a phone number and than billing and then tons of other crap which would lead to me setting some contract or stuff up with verizon.

What do I do? I have no real prior knowledge about this sort of stuff, so I don't really know where to go. I tried reading around, and none of that was helpful because everything I found wasn't really applicable.
