[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
Guys just read the Samsung warranty terms. As long as it was purchased and used in your own country, it doesn't matter where it was made our where your vendor ordered it from.

"This limited warranty begins on the original date of purchase, and is valid only on products purchased and used in the Canada, and does not include transportation, installation, removal or reinstallation. To receive warranty service, the purchaser must contact Samsung for problem determination and service procedures. Warranty service can only be performed by a Samsung authorized service center. The original dated bill of sale must be presented upon request as proof of purchase to Samsung or Samsung's authorized service center. Transportation to and from the service center is the responsibility of the purchaser."

In fact, I use to work for an electronics distributor, and often if manufactures were short (I.e. Epson) , they would send us English only models (rather than English/French) or English/Spanish (u.s product) to fill orders.

If it was made by them, then they have a legal obligation to repair it.
[Galaxy Note II General] gandalf21502:
So that means if purchased in the U.S. and used in the U.S., newegg specifically, then Samsung should cover it?
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
If they don't, then you'd have grounds to sue.
[Galaxy Note II General] 1Brite1:
If you live in the U.S. and buy an International version, you have to register it under the Samsung retail country it was intended for; i.e. if it was bought in the U.K., you would go to Samsung.co/uk Once it is officially registered with them, you then have to send it overseas to have it fixed. I had to do that with my Samsung Galaxy Tab.

I called AT&T and T-Mobile here in the U.S. first since I was using their sim cards, but they said that they didn't have the necessary software to fix an International version and I would have to send it to Samsung Service Centre. They third party it out to another company and they "lost" it for about 2 months. I finally got it back about 2 1/2 months later. Several phones calls and emails to them and UPS and about $250.00 in shipping(I sent it expedited) and then the charge of about $100.00 to fix a then "bricked" phone, I got it back! :)

I think if you buy from some places, they do offer warranties through a third party, so it might be better to go that route.
[Galaxy Note II General] Reuven007:
It seems that the only viable option to cover the International version is through third party coverage.

newegg.com is offering a one year coverage for $59.99 from a vendor called servicenet.com.

Does anyone know of any competing services, for either better price or coverage?
[Galaxy Note II General] gandalf21502:
I bought that warranty, on sale at the time for $46. I was wondering how good they actually are at servicing the phone? Nice thing compared to Squaretrade is there is NO deductible!
[Galaxy Note II General] ericshmerick:
lol lawyers itt

Nobody is successfully suing anybody. International phones were never intended to be sold in the US. End of story. If you live on Mars and get an international unlocked phone from Newegg, you can't just go and sue Samsung because they originally produced the product for, say Brazil when you are a mars resident. They will say "you need to be a Brazilian resident for warranty coverage since this device was produced for and intended for Brazil." and that will be the end of it. You are not a resident of Brazil so end of warranty claim attempt.

You will sit on mars with a broken phone and no help. Had you purchased a phone intended for Mars, you would then have a 12 month warranty. You did not do that therefore you have zero warranty.

End of legal proceedings.

But by all means, everyone should go sue everyone. Git em boys!!
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
Not sure what your point is.

Samsung CLEARLY states that as long as the phone was purchased and used in the country where is warranty is being claimed, then they'll fix it.

Your mars example is stupid, since Samsung doesn't have an office on Mars :p
[Galaxy Note II General] vista1984:
really depends on the situation. but don't expect anything.

-call them describe your situation, maybe tell them you are relocated oversea after you bought a phone

-file an complaint

Samsung sell different phone in different country. you have an att phone broke and you want it be repaired in Uk, not a chance.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I don't know about other import retailers, but if you purchase an imported Samsung device from Negri Electronics, Samsung will honor the warranty regardless of where you live. The only stipulation is that you include your proof of purchase from Negri Electronics when you submit your claim. Alternatively, you can send your device into Negri and they will forward it to Samsung for warranty service. Just an F.Y.I.
[Galaxy Note II General] avetny:
I have a hobby is cell phone/mania (I changing phones every 3-4 weeks)

Long time ago I bough Galaxy Note (exynos). Then that phone appeared in US but it was different- Snapdragon. I did hardbrick (I was one of the first before the mass epidemic).

I call to samsung US they sad your phone from Europe we got different here. (call to europe)

So I called there, they sad you located in US, we can't help you.

(after hard brick my motherboard was ****ed, no one fixed).

But here is different. We got same SPECS !!!!

Chance is 50/50
[Galaxy Note II General] heavyharmonies:
Best bet is third-party coverage.

On my GN1, I went with Securranty.

This time around I went with Negricare.

2-year plan on either is about $95. Both cover lost/stolen in addition to accidental damage and defect/malfunction. Deductible is $75 on Negricare.

The reason I switched companies is that I could not get ANYONE at Securranty to return a simple email inquiry. That doesn't bode well for if/when there is a problem and I need prompt resolution.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
I just got a refurbished replacement from insurance yesterday. Went through the steps listed here to unlock and root the phone. I did not do the steps for S-Off.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813818

I then did a backup of the stock ROM in 4EXT. I then tried to install Digital High MIUI room, but got a boot loop. I made sure that I had the setting in "tools" selected. (Can't remember the name of it right now.) I then tried to restore my backup but it just hangs at the HTC screen. I tried to then flash the stock RUU but it states that it is not compatible, even though I know it's the right one for the phone. I tried to restore my backup again but now am stuck at the HTC screen. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Sounds like you may have the wrong RUU. The one you should be flashing if you are on hboot 1.58 is the 2.89.651.2 version. You also need to relock your bootloader if you are S-ON before flashing or the RUU will fail.

I know you probably don't want to start over, but you could try my guide since the download for it contains the RUU you need. It would be a good idea to go all the way through and get S-OFF as that makes things a lot easier. A lot of ROM's don't work well with the 1.58 hboot and digitalhigh's MIUI might be one of them, but you can't change bootloaders if you are already on the current build and S-ON.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
that worked. I was using the wrong RUU. Still not sure why my backup didn't load but Im going to try again in a bit. Thanks

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit_nikalje:
If the N4 launches in India for about more than 30k , will anybody buy it . Should i also buy with such a high price?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Well it would be a lot cheaper to get it from either the US or Australia, if you have anyone you know coming to India anytime soon. So much cheaper that its still a better deal even without a warranty.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxStatiX:
I'll only get it if i can have someone to get it for me,not otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudh412:
I wouldn't pay more than 30k for ANY phone. Period

Its just a phone. There are many other things in life where you could put so much money to better use. As for the OP, I say set a limit for yourself about how much does a phone matter to you. If it is above that limit, wait for the prices to come down. Again, this is just my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimetti:
FYI

30000 Indian rupees = 549.6510 US dollars

its not that horrible compared to the other prices around (not counting play store)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahil kaul:
Is available for per order on eBay for 27k. Though the warrenty won't work in India.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksavai:
My guess also be more than 30000 and without bill it will be around 22-25K in Jan. So I am waiting couple of months for prices to go below 25K that time I am going to buy otherwise see if I can get it from other country in mean time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikufellow:
Lol people pay 35-38k happily for quad core cortex a9 craps and you expect them to sell a15 quads here for 20-25 k ??? You can't always blame taxes at least this won't end up like htc or sony who replaced kraits inside their models with crappier previous gen snapdragon s3 before shipping to India !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudh412:
LOL, I know how much 30000 turns out to be in dollars. My point was, spending anything more than that (more than say 500-550) on a phone does not make sense personally. Especially since Indians aren't tied into a contract and keep changing phones every few months. The loss of money on resale is a lot on everything apart from iCrapple.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

Exactly my point. If El Goog did not sell it for such a ridiculous price and announced in from the start to be around the 450-500 mark, people wouldn't have a problem ponying up for those specs. But irrespective, I don't think ANY phone should be priced higher than 35k. Blame Apple for having such high profit margins. I hope the N4/N10 prices drive down margins across all OEMs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikufellow:
You know what still some of my desi fellas spent close to 45k on crapple and brag about it like anything ! fate

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] StevetotheH:
Was wondering if anyone around these parts has given the $99 dock a shot. I was thinking that with hdmi and a couple usb ports it was worth every bit of what they are asking.

Responsiveness?

Quality?

Ease of use?

Mouse and keyboard connected helpful or a henderance, work at all?

Large sshd work with it?

Scaling on different resolution displays?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] inmnbob:
The s3 doc works nicely
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] StevetotheH:
Yeah thats great but they are not even close to similar! The only thing they have in common is that they are both called docks.

That was informative! I think I seen that review before but fell asleep about two minutes in so therefore did not remember watching it.:eek::(

Thanks for the link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] inmnbob:
Well not sure what you're definition of a dock is but. The s3 doc meets my definition very well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] StevetotheH:
Not sure what your definition of Galaxy Note 2 is but your GS3 dock doesnt have anything to do with the Galaxy Note 2 dock but, thanks for sharing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] inmnbob:
The topic is docks not specifically the N2 dock. THE s3 doc works well for charging and the system recognizes that it was inserted into the doc. It has audio our too so I would say it is a N2 doc too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JimSmith94:
Thanks for the heads up on using the S3 dock for the N2. I'm currently using the S2 dock with my E4GT, and will be much happier to pay $30 for the S3 dock, rather than $100 for the N2 dock. Personally, I doubt that I would use the HDMI or USB ports on the N2 dock anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] inmnbob:
Exactly. Another benefit is that rhere is a special home screen that pops up when you put the phone in the cradle on the note 2 that allows you to launch your choice of apps that to run when docked
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
This is a utility made by mattlgroff. I simply ported it to work with the AT&T Atrix HD. It takes place of RSD Lite, which is good because many people have problems with RSD, you can use it to root your device, and also install OTA Root-Keeper App.

Bell version has not been tested so IF you use this and it is successful let me know. Should not be any problems with it, but would like to know for sure.

Thanks to mattlgroff for the original Utility.

Thanks to the firmware team for the FXZ files.

Thanks to Dan Rosenberg for the root.

Thanks to Voodoo for the OTA Root-Keeper App.

Thanks to ATGAdmin for also porting this lol.

144 AT&T Link.

Bell Version (still untested)

http://www.batakang.com//ftp/devs/hoover/Bell_Atrix_HD.zip

Also you are using this at your own risk, I accept no responsibility for any damage you do to your device while using this Utility.

If you have any problems though, do not hesitate to PM me!

*Please remember to have your phone charged to 80% plus when flashing. Read the directions as you flash.*

i updated to Jb useing the leak, but forgot to root. the phone was stright out of the box with no root. i used the utility to fastboot back to ics so i could root, and now i am stuck in bootloop at the att logo. i fallowed all the steps. where did i go wrong? am i just stupid?

edit: the phone also wont stay off, so its always on. i dont know if it charges when its bootlooping, but im taking it to the att store tomorrow morning.
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Which utility? See if you can push it into fastboot and try to reflash, possibly re download to make sure everything flashed correctly!

That error tells me one thing: The fastboot files in that utility were not meant for your phone's carrier / or system version.

[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
When you use RSD, do you flash to 115 or 114?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
I've tried both and they both error.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Were you on the latest update?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
I was running jb and tried to downgrade to recover root.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Yeah this explains it. You need to run the latest AT&T FXZ for the 144 update. The secure version changes from 115 to 144 and this utility is 115. Hoover is working on a 144 one now...

You can run RSD Lite and 144 from here in the meantime.

ah ok I'll download and try that. Hopefully it works lol.

Hey guys,

I have a friend who has an ahd (i'm guessing a dev as the bootloader shows non secured). It doesnt boot but it shows as Dinara when connected to RSD. I ran it through this utility and here's the output from the cmd prompt. Any ideas on how to get this thing fired up?

[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:

[Motorola Atrix HD] aerohp:
Its not a retail phone (aka. its not a bell or att phone). The thing is it might be a dev edition from early stages of dinara's development and the partitions that are needed to flash the final release of the software were not programmed. Take a look at the file I attached. Any way to manually create those partitions?
[Motorola Atrix HD] cmvienneau:
Just extract the files from 144 update zip and paste them into the utility folder and your done.....did it last night.

[Motorola Atrix HD] fromanbr:
Probably your restore is being made with the previous version of SS (.16).. update to .17 and try to restore again.. if no success, go back to ICS, root, update to JB, update your SS to .17 version and make a new backup!
