Hi,

I am not sure if this a right place for this.

I had participated in the Samsung India's 'Samsung Apps Olympic Game Event' and looks like I am shortlisted as one of the winner.

But I have not yet received any email for claiming the prize. I feel that the email might have gone in my junk email and I accidently deleted it.

Please guide me for claiming the prize if anyone is aware of the same.

If anyone has participated in this competition and got shortlisted, please forward me the email communication from Samsung India to me.

Thanks,

Moderators: Please delete this thread if it is not suitable here.

Got email from Samsung Olympic Contest

Hi,

Got email from Samsung Olympic Contest today.

But they are asking to pay Rs. 7200 as a gift tax.

"To claim the prize you need to pay the gift tax through A Demand Draft/Payorder of Rs.7200/-drawn in the name of ‘Samsung India Electronics Private Limited’ payable at Delhi for an amount equivalent to the tax payable under Income Tax regulation (which at present is 30.9% of the amount of the prize) i.e. approximately Rs. 7200/- (Rupees Seven Thousand two hundred only) prior to receiving the prize."

Please advice on this.

The list of winners is available on Samsungapps India site. I am a new member, so can't post links. :p

Sounds like a con to me. If you've won something why would you have to pay to collect those winnings?

Hi coolAbey

Can you please confirm from which mail id you received this mail. Have received same not from Samsung directly but from Digitas India. When I cross checked with Samsung India CEO office they said there is no such DD/pay order requirement but one has to go through Terms and conditions but their T & C say we may have to pay import tax something like that. Is anyone claimed this gift so far?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] coolAbey:
I also received the email from Digitas India

HI Capri72,

Yes, I received the email from Digitas India. In the email they have mentioned that 'Digitas India is the authorized agency appointed by Samsung for the prize distribution under the Samsung Olympic contest'.

Email also mentions that the DD/payorder along with the other documents(age proof, address proof, id proof etc) needs to be sent to:

Samsung Olympic Contest Cell

c/oSolutions Integrated Marketing Services Pvt Ltd

24 & 30, Ground Floor

Okhla Industrial Estate, Phase III

New Delhi – 110020.

I have asked some questions to the person who sent me the email. waiting for the answers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Capri72:
In fact just now I got confirmation from Samsung that Digitas India is their authorized agency to distribute prizes to winners. Samsung also asking winner's to contact contest team to understand T & C. To be on safer side have already sent physical written consent and reply confirmation mail which they are expecting on or before 18th. If you have any updates from Digitas India guy please share it with me.

Thanks

Capri72
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] coolAbey:
That is a good news

Thank you, Capri72. That is a good news.

What have you written in your physical written consent, can you please share it? I will also send them the written consent in physical and via email then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Zamboney:
Sounds like you guys are being scammed. Samsung wouldn't ask you to prepay a contest. And they wouldn't use any fake sounding company like Digitas as a middle man. Be careful!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] coolAbey:
The main thing is, the Demand Draft/Payorder should be in the name of ‘Samsung India Electronics Private Limited’

and needs to be sent to,

Samsung Olympic Contest Cell

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Capri72:
Even initially i was suspecting same but when i contacted samsung ceo office cell they confirmed digitas india is their authorised 3rd party agency for prize distribution. Amount which they are asking against gift tax and we will get tds for the same. this gift tax may be applicable as per the T & C on official samsung site.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] nikest03:
same

i got the same message and i duly pid the tax to the digitas company on 15 oct and 10 days have passed i have no further information by digitas or samsung.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Capri72:
Finally myself and coolabey received S3s from samsung via their authorised distribution agency.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] coolAbey:
Received My S3 today

I have received S3 today.

Now I am confused which one to keep and which one to give to my wife, Note or S3 :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Capri72:
You have to pay 7200/- against gift tax along with other proof documents and it will take 30-45 days for them to deliver phone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] _LEM_:
Hi,

I just moved from an HTC Vivid phone to the Galaxy III and I was wondering if there is a way of displaying

a notification window when there is a missed call/sms and your phone is locked like there is in the Vivid.

As far as I know the Galaxy only shows an icon saying that you missed that call or message.

This is what the Vivid shows:

I like this way because you know right away who sent you the message. However on the Galaxy you need to unlock the phone and go to the messaging windows.

Thanks!

It's a default date that nobody can answer why. Do not change any of the values, but you can add a custom name behind it without any spaces.

Ex: 1970.3.12.2.48.33stockrooted

Changing the name completely or before the assigned name causes problems restoring. Against, nobody seams to know why, and good luck getting a hold of clockwork - they never reply back to emails.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
Once just got my new Note 2 and so far I love it however the new version of TW only had a 4x4 grid arrangement on each home screen. Is there a way to get to the 5x5 we had on the original Note or will it be a case of using a custom launcher for this?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazypinoy9:
custom launcher my friend....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
Considering the screen size any idea on why Samsung went with the 4x4 arrangement? Is it due to the lower resolution being 1280x720 as opposed to 1280x800 on the original?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daz_2000:
I agree. 5x5 would be nice to have as an option. I would also like home screen landscape mode.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazypinoy9:

Hello everyone! I want to know if anyone knew how to install ubuntu on xperia active, I've tried to follow some tutoria for other phones, but I did not get results.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
I'm running GNU/Linux Debian on my Active, but Ubuntu is basically the same.

It's not that hard to install, but you'll have to chose how to install it depending on the purpose of the Ubuntu installation. Look at the link in my signature for a tutorial. If you don't need the full integration Android/GnuLinux it describes, you can stop when you've reached the step you are running Ubuntu in the chroot environment. It is safer to run Ubuntu in chroot, but more powerful to run the Andorid in chroot. Read my howto, and you'll understand.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jfox22:
thanks i try your tutorial :cowboy:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
Note that for the simple solution (no integration, GNU/Linux in chroot), you only (almost) have to read the "Creating the Debian root file system" part of the tutorial. This is enough to run GNU/Linux, but without any control over the Android environment using it.

Hi All

I am using the CM10 rom and within the settings there is performance to adjust the processor speed, I set it to max for e.g 1000mhz but after a while it reset's to 475mhz but this makes my phone dog slow!

Is there a fix for it to stay at 1000mhz at least?

A sad day -- My microSD won't stay in the slot. It seems to "click" in, but there isn't enough to hold it and the spring ejects it. It seems to have been getting worse over the last few weeks, but I originally thought it was a specific microSD. Now it is all.

Is there a spring or something I can try to bend that will help it retain the card?

I purchased the part through eBay seller cellfixrepairs. They shipped same day and it part was, as far as I could tell, new. It had masking film on the top and the needed adhesive on the rear. It arrived USPS within two days (shipped from Los Angeles area to San Francisco).

Total time for the repair was under an hour. A #00 Phillips screwdriver is essential, and something that you can use to pry the case away is recommended; plastic is nice. It was a little scary prying off the old board, but it did come off without bending anything else.

The ifixit teardown is very nice to have available.

So after 6 years of being on my mother's cell plan I'm getting the boot. I have a decision to make now. In 3 weeks or so I'll be moving to Verizon and I'm having a problem making a decision on what phone to get. I'd like to get some pov from the community.

1. I could get the S3 but I don't see a big difference from my t989. It's just my opinion. I'm not to impressed with the S3. To me it just seems like an extra gig of RAM and that's it.

2. I could get a Galaxy nexus and save some money. Save some money till something more impressive than the S3 comes out.

What do you guys think? If I'm wrong I'd love to be told.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] premiatul:
The difference in money is not worth jumping to S3 from S2.
