Yes while getting my hdfc I mentioned clearly that I need it for online purchases and also it should work during my international travels. And also it was written on the card "international debit card"

Tried everything but the help line representative told that due to our 3d secure thing it can't work

Any Idea

Still m confused v alot

I'd bought Poweramp from the Play Store using a ICICI Debit Card. Didn't create any problems.

[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
Bro, the 3D secure thing (or Verified By Visa I.e. VBV) is the a level of security introduced by card issuers (Banks) and the card financial company (Visa) to reduce fraudulent transactions. There will be further actions taken this year. Do read that article in the TOI that I had posted.

In the end, you

MUST

sign up for 3D secure without which net transactions may not be allowed. It's a similar case with MasterCard with its SecureCode.

Read more here:

http://www.visa-asia.com/ap/sa/cardholders/security/vbv.shtml

http://www.mastercard.us/securecode.html

It works without a problem UNLESS the bank has blocked these type of transactions. As I said before, best to call the bank for clarifications and guidance.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Have you enrolled card for verified visa?

You can find option for that on www.hdfcbank.com

Find login option for netbanking and just below that - verified by vida/Mastercard secure card

Select it and register your card. Then whenever you purchase online it give you extra layer of security and should work for international transaction.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Just asking this for confirmation, HDFC Visa Debit card works? And IDBI too? I thought no PSU banks worked. I would like to open a HDFC account, but need to be sure about this. I don't like ICICI personally. Honestly, it might sound like blowing my own trumpet, but I am not poor to not get a CC, maybe I am richer than a lot of people to have at least a dozen, but I just don't like the idea of CCs, so I promised myself that I will never own any :silly:

That's why all these talks and queries about Debit cards. Hope you and everyone will understand.

PS: Mine is Bank of Baroda Visa Debit card. It didn't work, tried both of mine, none. Now I will NOT call them and ask why they didn't work, because I think you guys know what it will be like talking to a manager of a PSU bank. I certainly don't like to talk with dumb and get dumber replies. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
OK.So whether I go for SDXC or SDHC?.Isaw somewhere in this thread somebody remarked SDHC is to be used.Is it true?
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes they work at least in my case. Also, it's not about how well do to one is and if he or she afford to have x number of cards.

If your bank does not cooperate get a card from another bank. It's that simple. I can understand how I feels to talk to a PSU bank employee. BOI is particularly bad coz my Dad has an account with them. Likewise for other PSU Banks like SBI and other trade mark Govt banks. My experience and of my family members in dealing with them has been far from satisfactory. So I avoid taking any cards from them and have closed my accounts to put a full stop to the bureaucratic answers and crappy help one generally gets.

As for IDBI believe me they are anything but a sarkari bank in action and deed. 7 years of experience with them and in some ways (especially response times) they beat ICICI.

The point I was trying to make is that it does not help if one comes on XDA Dev and blows off steam about transactions being declined etc. at Google Play Store or iTunes store. The first point of contact should be the bank's Call Centre & if required followed by meeting with a branch official.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I have just tried, but it fails.

just to note i have already registered for verified visa as i said in previous msg but still not worked.

Edit :

Tried Visa debit card from Indian overseas bank, that also didn't work.

I have occasionally used both card for online transaction and working, but fails on google play store.

Though it is personal preferences but i do prefer only credit cards, and it never causing such issue on net/play store/abroad.

Its dangerous to buy Second hand note2.

But if you really must, then make sure that the emmc chip is sane(playstore app) and it has android 4.1.2.

Currently there's 15% cashback on new note2 whose mrp is 38. So new one's MRP is 32.3k. Now second hand should be atleast 5k less than this.
[Galaxy Note II General] jitin02:
Doc. And others I am going to buy another note 2 for my mom. So is there any way I can check the chip is sane or not. Consider the fact that we can open seal until we own it :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] CharlieGarg:
i have used my debit card last month and did around 10 transactions with google play and ICICI bank this month charged me Rs 28 extra for every transaction I did with google play,,, so beware before doing any transaction with google play or check charges with your bank
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
At least your DC worked...as does mine on the GPS (Google Play Store). :good:

BTW that's the fee that any Indian bank will charge on international transactions (in Foreign Exchange) using either debit or credit cards.

This is not new and has been there for well over a decade. It generally varies to 3-3.5% of the transaction value (or could be fixed as in your case) depending on the type of bank account and relationship you have with them.

Once again - please read the fine print related to your card(s) and account(s). You will be surprised to see the number & quantum of charges that banks levy on customers. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] CharlieGarg:
Yeah thanx... now I dunt need to pay a peny to google play...just find a cracked ver of google play
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
Welcome!

As for the cracked version of GP, that's interesting. :)

But I will continue to pay for apps that I need. I find they are very reasonably priced.

As it started in that post that 1st 4 digit of inei should be 3550. That way mine is 3536 but still in the app test on mine note 2. It comes 0xf1. I guess that wrong chip??

If so. The imei thing he told is wrong :confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
The IMEI should be above 3550. Yours is 3536, below 3550(50>36). That's why this test failed on your GT-N7100.

Sent From My Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] jitin02:
So do you mean. Below 3550 is bad chip ?

Also. Mostly the sds comes in case the phone is on charge during night? ?

Sorry for alot of questions but don't want to get ****kked later on

I think below 3550 is bad according to that post. Can anyone confirm?

The quality might be great. But what about protection? If the device falls accidentally from one's hand, will the cover's front part be there when it will hit the ground or any other surface? No! So why would one buy that is beyond me, other than show off factor. The Note 2 screen is enough scratch resistant to use it barely. I've been using mine pretty badly (the screen), and there is not a tiniest scratch on it. And the camera lens cover also, it is also made by GG. Note 2 is the first phone I own which doesn't have a single scratch on the camera lens cover. It fights on my dashboard everyday, still! So front and back done, what else left? :D

They are offering zero processing fee EMI.. and flipkart is offering a 100% cash back to one lucky customer daily.. try your luck guys.. ;)

Anyway.. I am also not interested in this s4. I still feel like our Note 2 is greater than S4. Lets wait and see how customers receive this. If i remember correctly, Sony Xperia Z was also launched at the same price around 41,000. Now its price has been dropped around 37k. Soon, S4 price will also drops like that, IMO.

I'm not so sure about aluminium chassis anymore. In an interview given by Ryan Biden, he had clearly stated why Samsung is sticking onto the polycarbonate design.

The anodized aluminium design we've been hearing which was gonna make the chassis of the upcoming Note III was just a rumour which was spread by HTC people. Lol.

Mobile Registration With Samsung

IMO it has nothing to with safety and everything to do with data collection. It is like a so called anonymous (and automated) register-your-device service.

I call it "so called anonymous" coz anybody with the right "contacts'' in the telecom industry has access to mobile phone directories even if unofficially. It will also help them keep track of change of owners though not in case of persons with more than 1 SIM/connection like me. This warranty is NOT transferable. See here (Click on Mobile Phone):

http://www.samsung.com/in/support/warranty/warrantyInformation.do?page=POLICY.WARRANTY

point # 1: The warranty is confined to the first purchaser of the product only and is not transferable.

For safety & theft protection options you need to sign up for a Samsung Account and use their Find My Mobile service (with SIM Change & Remote Control options).

BTW, I have not noticed this automated text message being sent after a reset. Will keep an eye out next time.
