The fastest I ever got a phone from China was in 3 working days with DHL Express. From Singapore to Germany.

But that was from another webshop called efox-shop

The fastest I have gotten a product ordered from FCT was 5 days (more usually been between 7-14 days), it was the Vido M10 tablet. The Vido company send this directly to me, it had nothing to do with FCT really. Also I think that they use time on preparing the clones before they send them (so clones will take longer time, than non clone phones from China), they attach the logos etc. when the orders are there, they dont stock them with the logos in the warehouse, because it is illegal with the Samsung logos, even in China. The more respected webshops do not sell phones with the Samsung logo.

So yes, it is possible to send fast. But sometimes there can occur delays because of chinese hollidays, papers that havent been filled correct, custom checks/stopps, also in China they can check the packages if you are unlucky.

Are there any kernels applicable to our note 3 clones?

Nope...
[Android General] vndnguyen:
HI,

Could any one help me by installing this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and go to the menu, select '[Note 3] Fake Detector' and see what does it say?

Thanks a lot,
[Android General] s7yler:
Mine says that it is not a genuine Note 3 :P or that I am using a Custom ROM.
[Android General] vndnguyen:
So what it said is correct, righr? :) Do you have a clone one? If you don't mind could you please post some screenshots?

Thanks
[Android General] s7yler:
Yes it is correct, for my N9006, look on my channel www.youtube.com/s7yler (in there I have over 8 videos about the clone N9006).
[Android General] vndnguyen:
Thanks but actually I need the info from the phone.

Can you make a video to show the info from the phone? And if possible, show how does the Fake Detector work.

Appreciate your help because I don't have this clone.

Well SIXTEEN days now, and my buddy still hasn't gotten the phone from ibaby888, she just keeps sending his the same tracking number, and saying that there is info on DHL.com which there is not.
[Android General] curse154:
Same tactic as fastcardtech. Most probably ibaby888 is either using cheap slow delivery or have not even shipped out at all. The 'shipment information received' from DHL merely means the sender submitted the waybill online, DHL does not have the package yet. This is a fast and easy way to get tracking number to buyers so to buy time.
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
Yeah, he has had me start communicating with her, I told her to either actually ship it, or send another one because this one is obviously lost somewhere. I also stated that I had contacted DHL and they say that they have not touched it.

**UPDATE**

I contacted DHGATE, and they confirmed that the tracking info was bogus, they are contacting the seller..........we'll see what happens from here.
[Android General] s7yler:
It is impossible to answer what the best clone is, there are comming new clones every week!

Clones dont have 4G, some have 3G. But if you want real good 3G or H+ then don't buy a clone, buy a phone with a real brand. Could also be a Chinese brand like JIAKE, Xaomi, Elephone, Vivo, Umi etc. they are not clones, but real chinese brands. When you buy a clone, you always run some risk, that's a fact.

Normally the price is higher on the better clones, and cheaper on the not so good. You get what you pay for. I think the newest N900 http://tinyurl.com/HDCN900 on FCT is okay, but I havent tried it myself. But overall the new phones with MTK6592 Octacore are much better phones.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Why do you need that? it just shows the info. Saying N9006, Samsung etc. etc. Still all this info is just fake.

You can write whatever you want in model in the build.prop file on the phone. The build.prop contain all the data on model, brand etc.

Need help for s1327 (sm n9006)

Hello there.

Man, I am stuck at a point and suffering badly through it. Your help would be highly appreciated.

I am owning a note 3 (chinese), it's details are like (S1327 or SM-N9006) Build ID is jdq39xxxx (and so on)

1. I have tried sp tools to flash factory firmware, it's file name is (SM-9006.SM1327.ROM_.MT6572) you can google it.

Issue I am having on this firmware is there is no display, I can hear the sound and feel the viberation when touch soft bottons and the sound of volume button when increasing or decreasing.

2. On the other hand I have tried SM-N9006-s7288__v1.10_20140108_1733.tar, it is in pure chinese language plus no multilanguage support. And hardware specs may be different that's why touch is working up side down. Mean when I am touching the top of the screen it shows my touch on the bottom plus hardware bottons are not working like volume up or down.

I can only request here that I need the factory firmware for this specific model.

Thanks for your time to read the whole crap I did. And your help would be grateful.

Thanks and regards

I have the same model as shown in MTKDroidTool but I have a different problem. In App Manager, I only got Downloaded, Phone Storage, Running and All tabs but not SD Card Storage. Which is only putting my Apps to Internal Storage (sdcard0) but not in external SD (sdcard1). When we open an up from Phone Storage App, the only option is Move to Phone Storage.

Please assist. Thanks in advance! :crying:
[Android General] vndnguyen:
I need it to help people to distinguish between the fake phone and the original one, and avoid to purchase the fake/clone one.

Please help.
[Android General] s7yler:
You can't use an app to that, because apps and software can be faked, so what the app says can not always be trusted 100%. Instead always check if the phone has working Air View. Because so far no clones has that feature. Also see if the button on the S-pen works and is real or not. Because so far there is only one clone out with that, but most clones have a fake button on the S-pen. And the original S-pen normally don't fit inside the hole on the clones.
[Android General] spanner44:
I have an app that is automatically downloading 3 apps . The apps it is downloading are Brave puzzle, UC browser and UC browser lite.

I haven't downloaded anything, so it must be a stock app working in the background.

Does anyone have any idea which app could be causing this so I can delete it.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Man i never noticed this before, but these days this is happening with me too! So that's not a alone virus i take, but something in background is making this.
[Android General] isa.ahmed:
i have same issue of screen....this i think due to wrong X and Y arnagemnt in the ROM. which meant it is wrong ROM

also i found, that even if i insert SIM, it dose not read and say invalid IMEO
[Android General] z2168235:
Happen to me as well, I think is it due to the playApp. I uninstall playApp update and it fix the issue. I also notice, using wakelock detector app, that playApp latest update keep running on the backgroud which draining battery badly.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Based on my clone note3, I can think of the following:

1. Test the camera, the clone have lousy picture quality, do 100% zoom :). You may need to look at the original note3 picture quality first though.

2. Cosmetic wise, you can take a look at the touch button (left and right side of home button). The fake note3 have light leakage compare to original note3.

3. Clone does not have compass sensor.

4. The speed of GPS locking to satellite
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
NINETEEN DAYS!! And nothing!! no response from seller, and no update from DHGATE

I do NOT suggest buying from ibaby888
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yeah, if someone is facing auto-downloads of UC Browser, or some crazy games like Bubble thing, just go to:

Settings >>> Apps >>> All Apps >>> Play APP and here select unistall updates, after that you will not have this problem, and too the crazy battery drain, I'm facing my battery goes out without use because of this, thanks to z2168235 friend for solve this issue.

A big question, all this time I never suceed to use GPS, my phone simply find the sattelites when i have internet conection, but no lock them. Never.
[Android General] s7yler:
I have never ordered anything from ibaby888, but was thinking about trying it, because of what I have seen on the internet, but your case, let me think again, one more time. So are you getting your money back after 1 month or how does it work on DHGate? What about Dhgate Service Pledge, Guaranteed refunds etc.?

They write "Escrow Protection, On Every OrderYour money is held safely by DHgate until you confirm successful delivery of your order. You can relax knowing your seller will not be paid until you are satisfied with your order." So your money should be safe until you confirm the delivery right?

In spite of the bad reputation, I have now made my next order on Fastcardtech, let's see who receives something first then :) So far I have always received my products from FCT, but sometimes it just took a bit longer time to arrive. I always pay with Paypal, and I know that it is possible to redraw the money from Paypal if they don't ship, so I relax.
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
Yeah his money SHOULD be safe, I think he is giving it another week, but I know he is beyond mad, since he paid for the DHL express.

Plus it makes me look bad, because I researched it for him, and now she is making me look bad
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Looks you getting a Note 3 Octacore? Haha hope i'm right. But anyway sure you will get something good.

HDC Galaxys Note 3 N900- Snapdragon MSM8974AB Quad Core 2.3GHz 2GB 5.7inch HD IPS

Hi s7yler...

....Thank-you for all the valuable information on the web about the HDC N9006 Max :cool:

.... I was just about to buy the HDC Galaxys Note 3 Max for US$176.99 from FCT because it is compatible with the Samsung Battery & Back & the Specs are ok

....But then I noticed the next Gen. HDC Galaxys Note 3 N900- Snapdragon MSM8974AB Quad Core 2.3GHz 2GB 5.7inch HD IPS Android 4.3 Phone for US$219.99 on FCT with its obvious better specs...

....Do you think this HDC N900 Snapdragon "8" core will be able to use the original Samsung back & battery, the battery is the most important to me & it would be a deal breaker if I could not use these Samsung accessories as this would keep this phone future proof...

.... I'm also a little worried about HDC N900 "8"core Snapdragons processor with its battery usage & wonder how this will effect the battery life, you also did a review on a Elephone P8 Octa Core 1.7GHz MTK6592 with a 2800mAh battery, how did it compare to the Max's battery life?

...The battery is important to me as I often go travelling to places where there is only power from a generator or no power at all.

...I did ask FCT the question if the original Sammy Battery & case would fit the HDC Galaxys Note 3 N900- Snapdragon & there answer was;

........................ "sorry, i am afraid that it

may

not fit the original battery and case. best regards"

...mmmmmm

may

gave me a little hope but not the definitive answer I wanted?..

...I have also looked @ Youtube & compared the S/N of the Max N9006 battery to the Serial Number of the HDC N900 "8"core Snapdragons battery to the Original S/N Samsung Battery and think these numbers are common on all 3 batteries:

B800BC & AAaD83orS/2-B

(maybe you could check these No's)

... Your YouTube showed that the Max N9600 battery & the genuine Samsung Battery is .5 to 1mm thicker but the other dimensions & S/N are the same. You then showed the Samsung battery & back case working with the Max N9006 , but I wonder if the Serial numbers on the HDC N900 "8"core Snapdragon battery are just cloned & if the dimensions on this battery are still the same?

... The Original Samsung back case also fitted on the HDC Max N9006 on you Youtube video & the dimensions of the 3 phones are below:

…The Original Samsung N9006 LTE Galaxy Note 3 Dimensions are: 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm

...The HDC Galaxys Note 3 N900 Snapdragon Dimensions are: 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm

...The HDC Galaxys Note 3 Max N9006 Dimensions are: 151.1 x 79.4 x 8.6 mm

(these Dimensions are from Samsung & FCT)

...So maybe the original Samsung back cover will fit on the HDC Galaxys Note 3 N900 Snapdragon?

...I would be grateful for any Opinions you have s7yler on my dilemma & the choice between the HDC Galaxy Note 3 Max N9006 & the HDC Galaxy 3 N900 Snapdragon. I would like to buy the better Spec HDC N900 Snapdragon but it has the risk that the original Sammy Note 3 battery & back cover may or may not fit the N900.

....Thanx in advance s7yler for any help or advice you can give

Kim :)

Magical lockscreen

The stylus pop up menu isn't reliable on my device. sometimes it pops up when i pull out the stylus, most of the times it doesnt. i read somewhere on the thread to check if the pop up responds to a magnet being waved over the 'menu' softkey so i tried it. while it didn't change the pop up behavior, i've started having random locks while using the device eversince.

The device suddenly locks up while being used and there's no way to unlock it except to restart the device. Sometimes its so frequent that I can't even type a message!

The weird thing is that the lockscreen that comes up is very different from the normal lockscreen of the device. I have pattern option selected with a kitkat wallpaper on my lockscreen but the one that comes up is attached here.

since there is no way to input the pattern, I have to restart the device every time. I have found a workaround by selecting face unlock, but if the face is not detected or if its night time, this workaround fails.

I have tried waving a magnet over the menu key while this lockscreen appears and the magnet causes the default lockscreen to return, so i can unlock and use the device.

Does anyone have any idea what might have gone wrong or causing this behavior? will a factory reset fix things or am i stuck with this forever?

More ibaby888 BS!!

My buddy just got an email from her saying that DHL says it was lost (Which is not true because they never touched it) and sends him a NEW tracking number which shows as delivered on Jan 20th in MOSNOV !!!!
[Android General] curse154:
As I have mentioned many times, do not buy from ibaby888 and FCT. The only reliable source is brotech and I have received it just under 10 days from day of order. I am not home till friday so Im unable to give a review now but will be asap.
[Android General] pficrx:
Im not agree with you..From my experience buying phones from FCT , im 100% satisfied for the quality of the phone's ( i know that i have bought clone phone ) and from the delivery time...

I have bought from FCT until now near to 10 phones as i remember for my friends and family...All the phones was good for the money i bought them and for the quality...Now im just waiting the hdc s4 pro clone and the gear 2 watch... :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] z2168235:
That is the s-view lock screen. On my device you activate it by putting magnet on top of the menu softkey. Maybe the sensor spoiled or any magnet nearby?.
[Android General] kim?:
Thanx Again s7yler

Hello again s7yler

...:cool:

I'm curious to know if you are infact waiting for a delivery from FCT and what you have ordered?

Thank-you so much for you help & advice & I do appreciate you taking the time to give such a comprehensive answer....

I will let you know here in this thread on this forum when I have made my final decision, I think that I may take the risk & I will possibly end up buying the HDC N900 Snapdragon "8" core clone.

Do you perhaps know of any other 5.7inch MTK6592 OctaCore clones with a pen that are compatible with the samsung battery?

(I do like the idea of the Samsung Battery as I can buy them locally in Australia & easily on the internet, I recently had to throw away a perfectly good chinese dual sim 3g 7inch tablet because it was impossible to find a replacement battery)

I did find this Octa Core MTK6592 Goophone N3 Note 3 1:1 SM-N900 2GB/16GB Android 4.3 USB 3.0 3G WCDMA 2G GSM Single Micro Sim Card 13.0MP Camera Smartphone

.....review Link...... https: / / w w w. youtube .com/watch?v=5Hj5QuyWv38 ...........remove the spaces

It has a built stylus & infrared function ?? but no software for the infrared, it can use the Original Samsung battery & is sold by ibaby888 on dhgate.com, sounds perfect but no PayPal on the unreliable ibaby888..

........hopefully I'll find another seller with paypal on the web but I did look & found no other sellers

Thanx Again s7yler

buddy, dont forget to backup your room first ok ? i need that ROM just like i need air... :(((

PS : Guys, Pficrx and S7yler.... you guys have seen my 2 Note 3 Clone's on youtube right ? i have 1 N900 and 1 N9006... what i want to do is changing just the motherboard of them, i mean put the N9006 motherboard into the N900 and reverse ! do you guys think it will work or i may brick both devices ?

The reason of doing this is because my N900 in terms of built quality and feeling, it feels like a real Note 3 but in terms of performance is not that great like N9006,the camera apperture is crap in comparison with N9006 and it dosen't have multiwindow....

On the other side, the N9006 feels cheap when i hold it in my hand, but it perform flawless and smooth... soo what i wanna do is combine the performance of the N9006 with the quality of the N900, and only ideea that i have is by switching just the motherboard of the both devices, obviously with the back camera also, as it is attached to the motherboard.

Do you guys think is possible to do that ?

they will boot up ?
[Android General] z2168235:

[Android General] junooni:
hmmm you think the magnet i swayed over it was too strong and ruined the sensor? i didn't 'put' it on the phone or held for too long, just swayed over it.

You think factory resetting the phone will help?

i really don't know man, both of them have IPS screen with same resolution...

No help in this?
[Android General] s7yler:
It is hard to say for us what is wrong, but it sounds to be a software problem, not hardware. You must try other ROMS. Seems that the ROM you tried have wrong drivers or settings for your screen.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

It sounds risky for me, but it depends on if you can manage to disassemble the screens on both without destroying them. And try the switch, if it don't work, then put them back again.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

I think the Goophone N3 from ibaby888 in the video is in fact the same hardware and phone as the HDC N900 Snapdragon "8" core clone from FCT - they are just sold by different names by different sellers. And before I see the IR remote working I personally don't believe it works or will ever work. It gives no sense that the IR is not working or not having the remote app from the start / stock if it worked, so the reason that its not there is that the IR is not really working. If it worked, ofcourse the manufacture will do everything to make it work before they begin to sell it, the more features the higher price they can get! that's logical. The Goophone N3 1:1/N900 is clearly a nice phone with an super CPU, but again it is missing previous features/functions (multiwindow and IR), just like the Max N9600 is missing the previous Smart Scroll feature for some reason (but not that important). Seems that all models always miss some kind of previous feature. Haven't seen a model that have everything yet! still waiting for that :)
