[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparks83:
Ive been going back and forth with expansys for the last 2 months with a defective sgs2 that they refuse to replace. Its currently at the uk samsung now going through "tests". Theres a quarter size blemish in the screen thats obvious yet im still jumping through hoops to get a replacent. I will never go with expansys again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angieutc:
Thanks for the recommendation! I think I am going to go with Amazon due to nostock fees. I remember when I used Exp in the past, they tacked on a nice nostock fee with my return. Although, in the end they are excellent too :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angieutc:
Wow. I'm soo sorry to hear of your bad experience. I guess this reinforces my first instinct to go with Amazon. I swear you can buy everything including your spouse on Amazon :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
There are so many sellers out there selling Note from different countries. Is the one from German is the best one?

I heard it's better to get the one from UK since:

a). They have good customer service and ACCEPT service request from out of UK

b). All the manuals are in English

So which country should I get the Note from? UK, Germany? ROM I can deal with, defective hardware.. well.. if it's not covered by Samsung in the origin country, I just lost $600!!

PS: Global Mobile in Amazon sells their Note from Germany
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Sounds like user error to me. They only replace up to 30 days. Never had a issue with them. They actually contacted me to give me a full refund so I can take part of a 100 off promotion they did shortly after my purchase. You kept a sgs2 with a blemish longer then 2sec. Sounds like your fault.

Cant go wrong with expansys. Mine included overnight shipping for free on both devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ilordvader:
Amazon is much better than Expanys anytime

I got mine from Amazon cos its cheaper
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
What are your guys thoughts in term of WARRANTY? I spoke with one of most popular seller in Amazon and they said the Note they're selling are Germany version and comes with 2 years warranty.

For warranty work, their approach is:

1). Send the phone back to THEM

2). They'll prep the phone to send it back to Samsung in <insert country here>

So the turnaround time could be in many weeks. I.e. ship to reseller --> reseller ship to Samsung outside of US --> Samsung fixed the phone --> Samsung ship to reseller --> reseller ship to customer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
BTW, for those who bought the phone from Amazon, can you tell me which seller you bought it from and what's your experiences with them?

There are many of them:

- Global Wireless

- Brightpoint

- MasterDeals

- FGS Trading

- Open Group Wireless

I emailed each of them to inquire which country the Note is coming from (UK, Germany, HK?) and only 1 responded within 24 hours --> Global Wireless. Everyone else did not, even after 3 days have passed.

Just want to make sure I am not buying from a non-reputable seller. I.e. selling defective phone, run-around on DOA refund, etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
stick with something that it states "fulfilled by Amazon".. then you have the same service and return options as from Amazon direct.

Mine came from "wireless everything" and was German in origin.. came with charge adapter, and a wap settings list for ATT.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
There WAS one from Worldwide Distributors, which was "Prime" and "Fulfilled by Amazon", but the when I contacted them, the phone is from Latin America... Not sure I want to send my phone there for warranty work..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] segascott:
what about european vs asian?

Howdy folks, what about european vs asian models? Specifically the HK version.

I'm visiting a seller here in Shanghai (near shanghai railway station if yer local) and they offer both HK and european versions for the same price. Is there any advantage to either?

They also offer the Korean version, but I was under the impression it was locked or somehow different than the other models... I'm leaning towards the HK version, if only for easier asian language inputs...

thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
I did the same as most people are recommending. I got mine through Amazon back in December or early January. I forget exactly who it came through, but it was filled through Amazon so I get the return policies and everything. It was quick, was the German version, came with instructions on how to change the language to English. I was pretty happy with my purchase.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
Keep in mind that these Int'l version have NO WARRANTY whatsoever.

I just bought an International version a month ago, with ROM UBKK2. The phone went bad after ONE month only. It does NOT recognize ANY SIM card (AT&T, T-Mobile, Straight Talk) for no reason, after working fine before. See my thread here.

Unfortunately, there is NO WAY to fix it because for my phone, there is NO MODEM firmware available here in XDA or anywhere (I google it). So I ended up burning $600 for a very expensive Media player.

What I am going to do next is to buy an AT&T version for $249, remain in their plan for 32 days then cancel the plan. I have to pay termination fee of $325, but that means the total cost is = $249 + $325 = $574. This is the SAME PRICE as the Int'l version, but now I HAVE USA warranty. I can then move to Straight Talk for $45 / month.

And yes, you CAN SIM unlock AT&T version, just Google it.

I believe they don't pay for the S/H back / to USA, so that can be substantial, with insurance and what not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] moltenbobcat:
I've bought two notes from Amazon master deals shipped the us version even though the picture was of the international one. I ordered a replacement through bright point and I git the right one. As far as the warranty is concerned I just bought insurance for 50 from worth Ave group to cover any problems I may have. I had the same plan for my nexus that my puppy chewed up and after sending the phone to them, I received a check for $550. It was a very good experience.

$499 now at expansys. The $499 w/ Bluetooth combo at New Egg is sold out. I'm confused about available colors. Are "blue" and "black" both available, or are they just described differently?

I like the idea of that Worth Insurance.
[HTC EVO 3D] ragingredbull:
Thought I would say hi. Got my EVO 3d today and it has just finished charging so taking it for a run. Had the original Desire before getting the XPlay in January on a great deal. The Xplay kept rebooting so sent it back as I read online that it was a hardware issue. Got my second one a couple weeks later which also had the same problem so sent that back too. Got 3rd and final one which did not reboot, but did go absolutely nuts when I typed a message. It would type by itself, open my apps, my phone app and call numbers randomly. As a result of 3 Xplays being crappy, I said I wanted something decent. Saw this(3D) on their(dial a phone) website and they said i could have it so jumped at it. The phone might be getting on but I figure that as i am on a 12 month contract with 3 already gone, I figured what the heck. Got the Xplay at £36 per month for 12 months with 6 months free by redemption. So effectively £18 a month for 12 months. Due to the problems with the Xplays I got a month refund and will be pushing for a second too, so most likely paying under 200 quid for the phone over the course of the contract. This will be my interim phone for the year as i assess what WP8 will look like. Until then I am going to have a load if fun with this phone:). Just thought to say what's up

I am a noob in flashing roms for galaxy note. For all of you stuck with unrootable kk8 for Samsung Galaxy Note just follow

Dr Ketan's guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

or

Chainfire's

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

Just follow the instructions, download kj1 firmware, flash with odin exactly as it says

and voila!!!!

Kj1 works flawlessly and it is already root and CWM included!

Amazing

It works waaaay better than kk8 with all telcel bloatware.

I can confirm it works with galaxy note from telcel, sim locked and it is non wipe. All your data will be there! Also no binary counter and symbol changes just as said in their posts!

Special Thanks to Dr. Ketan because he really helps anyone and everyone!

PS: you will only lose the touchwiz message icon in the lower part but you can always make a new shortcut in the upper part.

Good luck!!!

[Update! April 1st]

You can get the lost message icon very easy! (fixed icons touchwiz dock). Just press home to go to apps screen, press menu button, edit, and drag the icon you want to the dock!
[General Questions and Answers] Tuplet:
Thanks, Noob here too. :D

I also have a telcel kk8 and to be honest it's overwhelming with so much info. :confused:

Did you flashed just the firmware or the whole room? on the list dr.ketan posted the kj1 it's from Poland and it's carrier is PLUS, is that the one you flashed?
[General Questions and Answers] Ushh:
Ok don´t get confused.

From Dr. Ketans signature http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=3931450 download the file from the 4th line. He explains that to many users in his post. The fourth line says

"Downgrade to pre-rooted ROM- Flash This with PC Odin"

Download that file, it is a complete rom 557mb with name SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip. As said by Dr. Ketan it is the same file that chainfire mentions but the link is down in Chainfire's guide, well at least the last time I tried.

Follow the instructions from the guide! ONLY THE TITLE "When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this"

Just unzip to get the tar. That .tar is the one you choose in PDA. Follow the instructions just verify repartition IS NOT ENABLED! Just the options in red from the guide that I think are correct the first time you load odin.

Images that show all Odin options you need are in Dr. Ketan's post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Follow the instructions to flash with Odin and thats it.

Yes! it is as easy as it sounds!

Download file

Follow instructions to flash with odin

Unzip file, Select file as PDA, verify options

Get your phone in download mode and connect

Start

and after 5 mins at most you are downgraded to Rom kj1. You won't lose any data hopefully if everything goes well, that it should if you follow their instructions.

Please thank and if you can donate to Chainfire and Dr. Ketan for their amazing guides and dedication.

Also if you find this useful you could thank this post so I can move it to galaxy note development. I need 10 posts with thanks!

Best of luck and happy flashing!
[General Questions and Answers] Tuplet:
Thank you my friend, i'm downloading right now, as soon as I'm rooted for sure will donate. :D

BTW, do you know if the note will stay configured on the samsung dive account after flashing? and the purchased apps from google play will still update?

And again. thanks for replying. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ushh:
Nothing was lost when I updated mine, everything is working as it was before downgrading. Your Samsung account an google play will work flawlessly.

Really it sounds too easy and good to be true..... but it is!

The only thing I guess you could lose, is the possibility of updating OTA. But why would you want to do that and return to a bloated old rom?
[General Questions and Answers] Ushh:
Just to let you know, as Dr. Ketan posted sometime, you wont loose anything unless you flash a rom that contains data.img inside the tar file. If it has that file it will erase all your data, if it doesn´t, it will stay the way it is. KK1 rom from Dr. Ketans signature does not contain this file, so it does not delete anything.
[General Questions and Answers] lineacorrosiva:
one question

hi i root the sgn succesfully but a the time to press any letter on the screen his typin null why is that ?
[General Questions and Answers] Ushh:
Don´t worry, that is common for what I´ve read and it can be fixed easily.

I did not have this problem but, I´ve read you could go into recovery and then wipe cache.

If you still get an error do the same for data.

BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA AND APPS as always.

Maybe a Nandroid Backup before doing it also.

Try it and let us know.

If you are unsure, I am certain that I read it in the same thread I referred from Dr. Ketan. Give it a try.

If you still get the error, maybe you missed something.

Maybe this post can help you:

I've had an Atrix since last October and rooted within days since I got it. I've tried Darkside (don't quite remember which version as it was months ago). then I flashed Aura 1.2.2.2, which I don't think is being further developed, but was very happy with it. Very fast and stable. Then came Neutrino around. Hats off to Notorious for his effort, the rom is superfast and absolutely rid of anything non essential. I am looking forward to see CM9 based version of this rom. since before Xmas I am on CM9 by Jokersax. As with all CM9 roms the stock camera doesn't work, but some 3rd party camera apps do, which is good enough for me. I if you do not use your camera too often try ICS.

I like the Neutrino 2.6EE, it is very stable as it's based on the CM7 RC1. I tried CM9 roms love them but, they still have a few bugs like the video playback on some websites and I strangely experience slow web browser speeds (but the battery life was great :D) will surely flash one of the cm9 roms when more "stable" versions come out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassy:
I was a huge fan of the Neutrino ROMS but ever since going to turl's ICS, its far too nice to go back to GB. All apps are so much more pleasant to use and scrolling in ICS roms is far smoother than any GB roms, matching iphone scrolling smoothness. Everything from maps to gmail and sms is so much better not to mention the browser which is a huge improvement in terms of speed, usability and smoothness (tip enable the side swip menu options in the labs section of settings). turls latest build has camera working as well so the only thing which i find borked in my day to day use is the camcorder.

Use the .37 baseband as your phone is an AT&T model and use any ROM and kernel you'd like.
