type *#1234# in your dialer.

IIRC, first code is your PDA code, second is your modem, the third is your CSC code indicating the sales region of your phone. Check out the three three letters following the number 7100, then look up at this page, it indicates the region of your phone. Unless someone flashed your phone with different firmware, this is the most reliable way.

In the case someone might have flashed your phone, someone else have to chime in and tell us how to check the original region your phone comes from using IMEI number :(

Even if i have format and hv changed the rom?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
That's what I was saying, if the ROM has been changed, it's a hard call.

Please help me on this guys i hv formated my phone and installed a custom rom, i only hv thr serial number and the imei number, all i wany is to know from where this comes from.witch region
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ron2k_1:
Well this is funny. The 3 letter right after 7100 on CSC line says UUB. That is not on the on the page saberzaid provided...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saberzaid:
lol i dont mean this, what i mean is i want to know the orginal regin of my phone, cuz i have format it and i hv installed custom rom and i cant know the orginal region now, so i want to know how, i hv the serial num and the imie num can i know the orginal region of my phone?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullseye69:
Lol i have the same UUB also. Bought mine at newegg.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitriXRS:
I've received mine from newegg today also. I have OZS ... I guess it's China region. Weird symbols, no single word in English... It took me 30 mins to get thru set up process, almost learned some Chinese then finally changed the language... The phone looks flawless but the box was opened before.. They used some other stickers on top of original samsung sticker to seal it back.. I am disappointed in Newegg. Was your box opened too? I don't know what to do now, should I send it back for an exchange or refund? Also, does it matter where the phone was made?:rolleyes:..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
I was just gonna reply to OP this, before see your post. I think it doesn't really matter, hardware is all the same. Search around, flash some ROM from other region, change some CSC, all the features you want should be in there. I believe that Newegg was selling Note 2 really cheap (like $580 or something) because they got Hong Kong version or something. These phones are selling dirt cheap in China. There are different versions in China like Europe, Hong Kong, Latin America, etc. Prices vary because of the warranty. Hong Kong version is warranted in mainland China, so it is being pricier compared to Euro and Latin America versions. I think Euro and L.America version is like $550/$560 in China right now, so when i see Newegg sell their phone at $580, instantly i thought they must've imported from China!

Btw, if there is Chinese in your phone, it's more likely HK version as Mainland China hasn't got this phone yet.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitriXRS:
Yea, I got it for $580 while it was on sale at newegg. Why would they open the box? Hopefully, just to change the China power plug to U.S. type plug...?

So, you think there is no difference in the hardware quality and materials they used?:confused: Isn't China known for bad quality products? Also, why do they sell other versions of Note II (L.America and Europe) in China if they got Hong Kong version. Do you know if there is a price difference between all those versions that they have? Good thing that I got 90 days return policy on the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
A lot of questions lol

I have the same obsession as you do, that's why i paid my premium and bought from a seller on Amazon that I made sure with, that their stocks are all Europe and not open.

As to why there are diff version in China, same reason as it is in America (well, several months ago in America)--because it is not officially released and people buy imports. Market is a chaos in China though. Unlike how we can import from Europe on Amazon, people traffic phones into China (illegally, to avoid tax or take-away by customs). So many people open box and separately bring the phone and the packaging separately into mainland China. Then, becuz of this, there comes another variation: the "version" that the S/N on box does not match the phone's S/N. This happens more to the EU version though, not on HK version, because it's a lot easier to bring the seal-packaged phone into Mainland from HK than from Europe or other regions. If you care to know, HK is under reign of Mainland China and the custom-free entry/exit was allowed several years ago. People bring HK version back to Mainland and sell as-is at higher price tag, while EU version often has to be opened and brought into mainland with phone/box separated, i.e. open box, which caused the lower price tags on these versions.

I'm not creating any panic or worries here, but if your phone was in Chinese, it's actually a good thing cuz you most likely got HK version and it was newegg that opened the box. Much better than those EU and other versions that were opened by somebody else. Even if you got (unlikely) open-box EU and other versions, it's fine as long as S/N on phone matches package S/N. Or, it's even better for some people (like me) because it's EU version after all. i dont know why, but it's just my preference lol.

Overall, no worries, if the phone works problem free, why worry so much? This is from logic perspective though, with any obsession/emotional thinking taken out of the way :cyclops:

As to the quality, check where your phone is made. Even if it's made in China (or maybe Cambodia lol) i think it is still fine. I know Apple quality is no longer top-notch these days, but compare MBA to Acer ultrabooks, both made in China, MBA triumphs Acer in quality. It all comes down to the quality control, right?

Take your time to enjoy the device instead of worrying about it :)

Cheers

Of course, when QC is limited or uneffective, Chinese quality is definitely no comparison to GERMAN quality :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitriXRS:
Thank you! You appeared to be very knowledgeable in Chinese market and perfectly answered all of my questions. Thanks again! ;)

It is Hong-Kong version... Already flashed it with Europe ROM, got multi-window future working... Next step is rooting!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cswithxda:
That's what i'm saying, not, but that's what I meant lol

Flash a ROM and there's no difference as long as you don't experience any problem.

Samsung also did good jobs because they now include more supported language (both menu and input method) at least in their European ROM

When i first got my Note 2 i wasn't impressed much because i didn't like the look more than Note1, also because dpi (or ppi) can't be changed w/o many issues on this phone. I liked 240ppi on my Note 1 VERY VERY MUCH. However, after fiddling around with for less than an hour, boom, my Note 1 is forgotten. It's got so many features out of box that I really didn't come up with many things to mod and improve, so I am now SEARCHING for anything that I can do to improve the device, hah.

Either way, enjoy the phone!
[HTC One X+] dackoni:
Hello XDA, not much of a poster around here, though a very frequent lurker :)

After having HTC Desire for more than 2 years, I'm finally looking forward to buying myself a brand new HTC One X+, but something caught my eye recently on the internet as I oggled for any information regarding the device. It appears than the improved "+" version uses a slightly different panel, perhaps from another manufacturer?

So far, I've found two links describing this problem, but am unable to post them as of yet because of a 10 post requirement.

The first one is on a site tweakers .net, you should be able to find the page by searching for the HTC One X+ review - look for page 4/8 of the review. Beware though, the site is in Dutch language. The tests done there clearly show the differences in brightness, dark values and color temperatures.

The other one is a Youtube video, search for "HTC One X+ vs. HTC One X" video on Pocketnowvideo channel. The difference in brightness is pretty visible.

It would be much easier if someone could post direct links to those pages.

Another curious thing that may be linked to this issue: about a week ago I went to a store to once again check out the regular One X (having done that previously quite a few times during this year), and I couldn't shake the impression that the screen on that particular model was also darker than I could remember previously. I dug through the options to see if something was affecting the brightness - it was set at max, and no power saving mode was activated as far as could tell (though not sure if ICS version of SENSE even has that option). Strange, 'cause I was hugely impressed by the screen previously, and thought it was the best I've ever seen on a mobile device. Perhaps it was the model also using a panel from different manufacturer? Not sure.

I'd be very happy to hear thoughts and personal experiences regarding the screen from you guys! I won't be getting this device for at least another month, so I'm not in a huge hurry, though any info would be quite helpful. Also, any information on this thread may be of benefit to many potential buyers of this device.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X+] Sharpshooterrr:
Tweakers.net's analysis on brightness

Pocketnow's video:

[YOUTUBE]AmflSY9JBG8[/YOUTUBE]

About the Hue, some iPhone 4/4S screens look bluish, some look yellowish, although they have about the same max brightness. I have personally compared iPhone 4/4S screens a few times before. May be a supplier issue.
[HTC One X+] dackoni:
Thanks for posting direct links, much appreciated!

I hope what you say holds true to One X+ series.. at least I might "win" a unit with quality display by lottery lol.

If all units end up with darker displays however.. I might not buy it after all, time will tell I guess. I'm eager to see what others will have to say about it.
[HTC One X+] dackoni:
According to recently posted GSMArena review, the situation might not be as dim (obvious pun intended) after all :)

The screen indeed apears a bit dimmer, though it doesn't seem as a huge letdown, and it looks like it provides a slight better contrast ratio.
[HTC One X+] trellva25:
I thought I was the only one who has noticed this. The one x plus has a dimmer screen and the blacks are not as dark as the original one x. There is also that bluish tint. When viewed side by side the one x screen looks a lot better than the one x+. Question is why would HTC change something that's not broken. Why not just maintain the original one x screen ?
[HTC One X+] dackoni:
My logical guess is that HTC didn't change the display because they thought it was bad, but that it has more to do with their relationship with suppliers. Unlike Samsung and LG for instance, they do not possess productional capacity for making their own displays, instead they depend on making deals with other suppliers, and quite often those suppliers end up being their direct competitors in a smartphone market, which puts HTC at a disadvantage. Often, a supplier cannot meet productional demands for all regions, so they end up depending on a multitude of them to fill those gaps. The fact that the One X ended up with such a quality display at all was a major achievement on their part in my opinion, considering their position. Whatever happened with the original suppliers of One X display panels can be anyone's guess.

EDIT: one wild guess could be that maybe they opted for a dimmer display to conserve their not so great battery life, but I'd say it's a stretch.
[HTC One X+] Hunt3r.j2:
Probably had deeper blacks, but in return the max white brightness isn't as good.
[HTC One X+] pb1379:
According to gsmarena, at 100%, whites are not as bright, but blacks are much darker too, resulting in higher contrast.

Thus, I assume display is better and eats less power... but that's only a guess, as I never owned the one x.
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
Has anyone directly compared in person? the screen is one of the highlights of the one x and it will be a shame if the brilliant screen was ruined. thanks
[HTC One X+] dackoni:
Reviewers are still lauding it's display as superb and one of the best. According to GSMArena, blacks appear a bit darker when at 100% brightness.

What remains to be seen is what users will have to say about it.
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
I got a rezound hoping to activate it on PagePlus cellular with just voice and txt, but when I dial *22890 too activate it (have not switched esn yet), it stops and said a SIM card is required.

I tried to manually program it with cmda workshop 2.7 following a guide but after putting in the info the log says it failed to write NAM1.

So I'm trying to figure out, how can I use and program the rezound without a SIM?

Any help appreciated, thanks

After reading your post I thought I better expand my search to the entire site where I did find some info that answered my question about whether or not a 3g sim card will pick up HSPA+ speeds or if it would be bottlenecked at 3g speeds.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4789951:
Hello everyone! I am having so much trouble rooting my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I had it rooted at one point but dropped it and the glass broke, so I unrooted it and locked it (followed steps) thinking I was replacing it for free at Verizon (never had a cracked screen so I figured they would replace it the same as if my the phone had hardware damage). I was going to have to spend $100 on a refurb which I don't have the money for. So I have been trying to rereoot the phone again but it isn't going as smooth as the last time. I followed all the same steps as the first time and it is just not working. It keeps getting stuck at the Google boot screen after I gain root privileges, or it goes to the nexus boot screen then just loops back to the Google logo. It won't even give me the chance to flash a ROM on it. Can anyone help?

You actually boot up to the recovery before you get to the Google logo. Do you have CWM installed?
