sorry for all first as my english is not good

Hong Kong have a very unfair galaxy nexus sales

(Hong Kong version is yakjuzs with chinese keyboard + Hong Kong warranty, not talking about import goods)

So i try to report the problem

Is it have anyway to contact google or this case have no chance to solve

one month ago, galaxy nexus sales at HKD 3698 about US476.47

it is quite cheap on one month ago

So many customers buy the phone and all nexus sold out very quick

NOW all main electronic store e.g. fortress, broadway, citicall(Suning) in HONG KONG

all of them said they will not restock, and some salesmen said galaxy nexus already stop production, WTF

I am not believe that , a phone just release in the world three or four month ago, stop production so quick?!

I try to contact Samsung Hong Kong though email and leave msg in Samsung Mobile Hong Kong 's facebook

but Samsung Hong Kong just ignore and never reply me

They don't respect customer and is samsung hk make a space for promote and sale GS3 in HONG KONG

don't lead the Nexus affect the sales of GS3????? i don't know

Hong Kong have a high smartphone user rate, if you go to MTR station,

most of people using their smartphone, apple iphone, android HTC, S2

Many people want to buy a Nexus, but it is out of stock now,

people in Hong Kong's fourm ask where can buy it everyday, but everyone don't which store have stock

Is there have anyway to contact google and help HONG KONG people buy Galaxy Nexus?

may be just sales the Nexus at play store like US

i don't know how to find google to report the problem in Hong Kong

Do anyone have idea, please help , hope Hong Kong have the stock again

or the sales are basic on Samsung Hong Kong

and this problem will never solve

Nexus officially announced on 19 October 2011 in Hong Kong

the phone was available in HONG KONG since 15 December 2011

what a joke isn't it?

this phone is announced in hong kong

but it is the first place do not restock

Fly out to the philippines or singapore and get one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Lol, I actually enjoyed the story. But, seriously. Can you not buy one direct from Google or from outside of Hong Kong? Is HK not GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I mean I can see why its frustrating, but you can't be mad if they stop stocking a poor selling phone for a guaranteed higher selling phone. It's been out for

6 months

, not 3 or 4. It's "old news" to some retailers (as if it was news in the first place).

There are plenty of importers that would be happy to send you one. And the prices are down now that the Galaxy Nexus is for sale in the Play Store for $399.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miky702:
I'm in HK and I have a brand new GNexus for sale. Contact me if you're interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
I was just there earlier this week and I saw GNex on every cellphone shop that I visited??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Play store galaxy nexus is for us only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fountainhead931:
Same here, last week was there and saw GNexus everywhere in Mongkok, giant mall downtown, etc., all the shops on streetside.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I know... re-read my post. I said that importers are selling them, and prices are down

because the Play Store is selling them

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
you said NOTHING about importers are buying the $399 device and reselling. you just said that the prices are down now that its being sold for $399 in the play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
How do you not understand that? Serious reading comprehension fail. Read the first sentence, then the second sentence. It makes sense.

Prices are down because the Play Store has lowered the general price of the phone (pretty much flooding the market + increasing supply). Go look at importers websites. They've all slashed their prices down to the $400-$450 range.

oh sorry i have not mention

I am talk talking about official HONK KONG galaxy nexus which is yakjuzs (not yakju) with a stock chinese keyboard

Hong Kong people usually prefer buy a phone with warranty

import goods always can restock as they just ship to hong kong from the rest of the world

people buy import goods if they want to get a cheaper price (mostly import goods store do not provide warrantly, unless you pay all the repair charge)

MongKok is one of main place sell import goods e.g. "Sin Tat Plaza"

if you go to main electronic store e.g. fortess, broadway, citicall(Suning) in monkok (they don't sell import goods), you cannot find a hong kong galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
if you talk about import goods

the import galaxy nexus is about HKD3000-3200(i9250/SC-04D japan version) in hong kong

about US386-US412

Import goods warranty are not like USA, store are not guarantee that unless you pay all charges and may wait a long time

hong kong warranty may get it back within one days (unless the parts is out of stock)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
oh i mess up the announce data and the official hong kong goods release date

officially announced on 19 October 2011 in Hong Kong

but the phone was available in HONG KONG since 15 December 2011

what a joke isn't it?

this phone is announced in hong kong

but it is the first place do not restock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
import version or hk version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexussy:
Why do you need a HK keyboard? Just get one from Expansys and add one in yourself?

I have a HK one but ended up moving to yakju anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
it have warranty, if the phone have problem

just restore back yakjuzs and send back samsung hong kong

import goods store in hong kong do not provide free warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android.vibrant:
all i really care about is when are they going to have OTA update to 4.0.4 on yakjuzs! It has been a long time and the only difference is the Chinese keyboard!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
Just go to SinTat and ask for Gnex with Samsung warranty, they have it there.

I bought mine there n became yakju convert in a matter of hour
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
are you comfirm Samsung Hong Kong CS the phone have warranty?

according Samsung Hong Kong latest announce in Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/notes/samsung-mobile-hong-kong/有關手機保用問題/423027461041550

only the phone buy from recognized store have warranty

if the phone buy from small store, it must have Kentech or Synergy label and the small store's invoice

otherwise you won't have warranty

even your phone's IMEI is confirmed as a HK version phone

already have some case in Hong Kong, the IMEI is confirmed it is a HK goods, but samsung Hong Kong still refuse to provide free warranty services

you can check this news

http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/news/art/20120501/16297341

the customer right power in Hong Kong is not as strong as USA:(

don't know why even confirmed the IMEI, the phone still have not warranty:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetstream:
since this topic is about having official warranties in HK, would like to share my experience...

bought GNex from HK (Broadway,Harbour City) last February 2012 and after using the phone for about 2 months, it got bricked! it froze, went on boot loop and got stuck in the dreaded phone-yellow triangle-pc mode. tried several solutions posted here in the forums, even bought a usb jig off ebay, was only able to revived the phone using Odin, but it wouldnt go through the normal process of booting (stuck in nand write).

so, i brought the phone at the samsung service center (im from the philippines, btw) but they would'nt honor the warranty since they said the unit did not came from "official" channels (gnex was being sold here through telcos only) but they can repair it, at a cost of almost half of the price of the brand new gnex(!!). they said the problem was the "memory" and the motherboard need to be replaced.

two weeks ago, i went back to HK on an scheduled trip, i brought my Gnex to Broadway Harbour City and they point me to the samsung service center in isquare mall (their office was in the 21st floor and the view was spectacular!). i just handed off my unit, told them that it wouldnt boot and they didnt bother to ask any further questions/details, they just told me to go back after 2 hours. so i went back, told me they have replaced the motherboard at no cost and all i have to do is sign the warranty claim!

i guess it really pays to get your phone in authorized/recognized stores in case something went wrong with it.

btw, my Gnex was 100% stock yakjuzs, unmodified and unrooted, when it got bricked. dont know what the exact problem was, but it was probably a lemon unit (??).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hki_peter:
I do believing user extinctionbb, he is care about official warranties much more that the other ! if hongkong samsung stop restock Galaxy Nexus in Hongkong, just buy from other country! and install official google rom from internet !:cool:

it may work..........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
again....I bought it from SinTat. It's an official from samsung distributed by KenTech.

There are always 2 version in SinTat, with official warranty or "water goods" just go there and ask them.... at least you try...those with official warranty is having the same price as big retail shop like Broadway or Fortress.

Water goods comes with shop warranty and normally cheaper

let me know if I need to provide picture for proof
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
can you post the invoice

so i can get the shop address and their phone number

and share it in hong kong's forum:)

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

yes the warranty is good

samsung hong kong can fix it same day unless the parts are out of stock

but authorized/recognized stores like Broadway are not sell and restock nexus:( since last time sold out all nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetstream:
they didnt gave me a hard time and didnt even bother to asks questions, they just ask for the receipt from broadway. and the service was really fast, 2hrs; in this part of the world, that kind of repair would take 2-3 days, even if parts are available :rolleyes:

what could be their reason for not restocking the gnex? maybe the sgs3?

back in february when i bought my gnex there, it was everywhere but not as popular as the iphone 4s :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
As requested. Bear in mind I bought it in January and with the relation of the thread, I was there early this month and I still saw it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
manila galaxy nexus is also from HK. haha. mine was yakjuzs which i flashed to stock yakju. so i guess our local supply will dwindle as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
but the rest of world also sales gs3 later

and Hong kong is not the first place to sell gs3

don't know why stop restock in hong kong
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
yeah thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androiduser:):
Recentlly I wanted to Buy the Galaxy nexus, since it was a lower price. I live in hong kong and I went to all the stores (Fortress, 3, China Mobile, etc) and they said they were all sold out, and that they will not be restocking :( I called China Mobile to ask why it was still on their website but I could not buy it, they said they still have a few devices actually, but if they sell it, it will not have warranty which sucks. So I'm guessing it's the same case for the other stores too. Which sucks cause I would love to have the phone!

P.S I went to look for it during may so it's not outdated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
yes hope the next five nexus devices

Can sell on play store @ worldwide

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aish_varya:
check out expansys.com.hk, its available there and price is even less than that of fortress.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staniotsui2012:
Well,as U were live in HK,then U may be heared some of rumors form those local forum,about the evils of ***HK XC.

The one that saying so "stopped production" is obviously a lie,ia really,y did there still takju selling?

This is because DoCoMo and Google set ***HK up......

(Why?Will people will buy a phone at ~$599 from those official outlet,but not to buy the same thing just ~$299,even without warranty?)

And maybe U had been noticed,Hong Kong is the last area to receive 4.0.4 ota in the world,even taiwan,have the same yakjuzs code,had received it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Isn't it fair?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extinctionbb:
still have not restock the galaxy nexus

but usa sell it US349

hope nexus 7 wont make the same problem

sell it in the play store is the best way

hope google will post them in hong kong's play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ansonscleung:
HK's Samsung is the worst one in the world!

Check out their FB. Just full of complaints.

Hongkongers does use products with warranty only.

But, guy, have you tried 先達(Sin Tat)?(If languages other then English are prohibited, sorry.)

Well, I use SC-04D for NTT Docomo $3200

PS:If you do asking Google for help, PLEASE help Nexus 7 sell in Play Store HK
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daidude:
Well I've had my Wildfire for about a year and a half now and my problem is it keeps switching itself off after being turned on. Normally I can't even get the phone to go past the splash screen before turning off. The battery is fully charged but this still happens. I think it may be a problem due to the battery but I am unsure.

My Wildfire currently is:

Rooted with Rempuzzle 2.41 full rom

S-on

only the one memory card partition

2.6... nfinity kernel

HBOOT-6.01.1002

Radio-3.35.20.10

Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4

Help is appreciated :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpry:
this even happened to my desire once....well it can happen for few reasons

i will suggest flash a official ruu....if you cant...then delete the partition in the sd....flash the latest radio...flash a stable rom...i will suggest cm 7.1....

it solved my prob....hope it solves yours

good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedpe:
Hi all,

I have a US AT&T version of the i727. I think i accidentally flashed an improper kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369977

I didn't realize I was browsing the i9100G section.

Anyway, when I went to reboot after installing the kernel in CWM, I get a black screen. If I hold down the volume buttons, nothing. It doesn't seem to be recognized in ODIN either.

Any luck or is this one a goner?

Would my only hope be a "jig" ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonomon:
I'm definitely not an expert but cant you use a jig to get your phone into download mode? Correct me if I'm wrong anyone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
A jig MIGHT work, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If you can't boot to download mode yourself with the button combination, then the jig has about a 1% chance of working.

You may have to JTag it.

And stick to the SGH-I727 forum from here on out, eh?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedpe:
what exactly is the button combination, just to double check that I'm doing it properly?

yeah, ******* on the wrong forum :(

Also, why is my case only a 1% chance of recovery with the jig? It seems like tons of people report the jig working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
From what I can find on the interwebs with a google search, hold both vol up and down, then press and hold power until the screen reacts, (if the screen doesn't react here, you may be out of luck) then release power and keep holding vol up and down.

This is the same as the Captivate, (my girlfriend has a Cappy) so it makes sense.

But I don't actually have a Skyrocket, myself, so I can't confirm this to be true.

EDIT: Sorry, that's for Recovery mode on the Cappy. I got them mixed up. Not sure why it's different on the Skyrocket...

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Those people reporting the jig working may not have been attempting to enter download mode at all, or were not doing the button combination correctly.

I was saying 1%

if the button combination didn't work

.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreadPirateDan:
Lol I think that 1% is going a bit over the top. The primary purpose of the jig is to enter download mode when the button combination fails.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Ok, I'll admit that was an exaggeration. But it's good to set expectations. Some people seem to think a jig is magical.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
By what you've just said, it's clear that button combination is wrong! He should try holding volume-down/power button & the home button (that's 3 buttons!) untill you boot into download mode! :rolleyes: :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
No, it's not. You can definitely push up and down the same time, since that's way you do it on the Captivate, as I said earlier. And the Skyrocket's home button is a soft key. It is different than the i9100.

Common sense here says YOU should do your research before trying to make other people look stupid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Grow up & stop spitting your dummy out your pram :D, (I'm just trying to help is all! ;)) If "YOU" do your research, I may have been wrong about the home button (my bad!) "BUT" the volume button isn't actually a button, it's a "ROCKER" switch! So therefore up is the top, & down is the bottom of the "ROCKER" switch, there is no center contact! :eek: :D

ANYWAYS, ignoring trolls, OP, according to this page, (which is one of the first stickies in the Skyrocket General forum) you enter download mode by turning the phone off, holding vol up AND down, then plugging the phone into your computer.

Research. It's fun.

A Jig should work since it is designed to boot in to download mode if the normal way is not working.

Jigs are roughly £1, so that's about $3? May aswel give it a try, not going cause any harm.
