[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asrah:
I dont know if this will help, but it might be worth a shot.

If you buy a used phone, and the previous owner pulls a fast one with customer service, ask customer service if there is a way you can verify the legitimate sale of the device. I would not suggest buying a used phone from online stores if you can avoid it.

One way you can prevent sellers from getting over on you, is to notify the website you used to buy the phone, that the seller is engaging in illegal behavior. In the USA, once you sell a product, unless otherwise stated in the TOS/EULA/Copyright, etc, you no longer own it. This is especially true, when you are buying a product in any condition, from any party other than a licensed retailer and/or the company who branded and/or created the product.

Some websites like Ebay and Paypal will help to protect the funds you used to purchase the device, if the seller engages in such behavior. It is best to report any incidents as soon as possible, after the problem arises. The seller may not be indemnified if they report the device stolen after the normal refund period offered by Ebay, Paypal, etc. In the USA, it is illegal to deface, or cause to be defaced, any material or non material product which you do not legally own and/or have permission from the owner to deface and/or make changes to. Any intentional or avoidable (in good faith) act/s which cause a product to no longer work as it did at the time of purchase is considered defacing, or causing to be defaced. There are no criminal liabilities here, but, if Paypal/Ebay/Swappa/etc, wont help you, then you might be able to regain your lost funds in the form of civil damages.

Please keep in mind im speaking from the point of USA laws and regulations.

I just got it in the mail today. Opened the box and I hear this rattle. Its not the volume rocker only the power button.

Rattles even with slight movement. I contacted Google and they said its the Sim card tray.

So I removed it and it still rattles.

I contacted them again and they said its not a defect and they won't help me. They suggested i go to LG and pay for support.

Is this not covered under manufacturing defects ?

I am extremely unhappy with this. I have had my friends nexus 5s with no problems at all and im unimpressed with googles unwillingness to help me.

What do I do ? I feel like they are saying either live with it or return it.

Hi all, I've not yet rooted my mobile. My device built in player started displaying the above error message. Can you please guide me. I've restored application preference. But it didn't helped me.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] iceyhotguy:
Try going into Settings>Applications>Video Player and clear Data and cache.

Doing this will not delete or even touch any of your data, this will simply reset the application to how it was first installed into your phone.

If you still continue to have the problem, temporary fix would be an alternate player. I would recommend MX Player, as I found it a lot better than stock player or any other player in the market and supports a wide variety of codecs : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Srinivasa.ct:
Hi, thanks for the reply. The method suggested didn't worked. But, I wonder why the Samsung video player that came along with stock rom is malfunctioning even after I cleared app cache.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] sumit227:
first disable the video player and then enable it again after that pull out your battery without switch it off and then start it

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] ashwin77sgg:
It seems like its not working in anyway. So, try wiping the cache from recovery and reboot. If problem still exist then you will have to factory reset from recovery which will erase all data from inbuilt memory.But I recommend you to install third party player.:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Srinivasa.ct:
Hi Ashwin can you b please guide me in "wiping the cache from recovery. "
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Srinivasa.ct:
Hi, still I didn't got answer in getting back my stock rom video player :( is factory reset is the only last option ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] ashwin77sgg:
1.switch off your phone.

2.then press VOLUME UP + POWER On/Off Button + HOME Button till the "Samsung Gt-i9082" screen appears.It will Boot the phone in recovery mode.

3.After booting in recovery you can't navigate by touch. So, 1. use the VOLUME Up and Down button to navigate/scroll.

2. use Power button to select the highlighted option.

4.Now select the wipe cache partition,confirm wipe.

5.select "Reboot system Now".

6.Done.

If Video player still crashes, follow the same process to "Wipe Data/factory reset".

I have rooted SGG so i can't post the images of Stock recovery cause stock recovery and CWM are different.

There are many threads where you will find detailed Guide about Stock recoverys.

Hope I helped.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Suraj007:
Did u installed Samsung hub apps??
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Srinivasa.ct:
Yes you are absolutely right, I installed and later Uninstalled.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] iceyhotguy:
Yes unfortunately, if nothing else is working to restore your video player to it's state, you'll have to do a factory reset followed by a cache wipe from the recovery by following the method ashwin77sgg mentioned in above post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49331296&postcount=11

In case of root, I would have suggested replacing the apk in /system/app but you mentioned you don't have root, so the only other alternative would be switching to a third-party video player like MXPlayer.

Doing a factory reset will wipe all your apps, and data so please make sure you backup everything you need.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Hey guys, i've got a problem and I need some advice/options.

Long story short, as some of you may know, I bought my T-Mobile branded Note 3 on Swappa in November. Of course, Swappa says that they check IMEIs and the seller assured me that the phone was fully paid for, but a few days ago my Note 3 IMEI was blocked/blacklisted (whatever you call it) by T-Mobile for non-payment of EIP.

I have tried to resolve the issue through communicating with the seller and Swappa, but there's really nothing to be done. The seller won't refund my money, Swappa is powerless, and Paypal says the transaction is past their 45 day dispute period. The phone isn't even unlocked, so I can't even try and use it on another carrier right now.

So at this point i'm trying to minimize my losses. I am open to any suggestions as to how I can either:

1. find a way to get the phone unlocked and use it on another carrier (I know that when a T-Mobile IMEI is blocked or blacklisted, they share that info now with AT&T, but i'm hoping I can use it on Simple Mobile or Straight Talk or Walmart's service)

or

2. sell the phone internationally (with full disclosure of the fact that the phone is blocked on T-Mobile/AT&T of course, but it shouldn't matter if someone wants to use it outside of the US, right?)

or

3. sell the phone as a 'dev' device (at a substantial loss i'm sure), but I have no idea how to do this or even whether a dev would want a phone that is blocked (don't they need to test network stuff?).

I'm trying to find a way to make the best of a bad situation. Any one who reads this post and wants to give me some decent advice is welcome. But if you just want to start trolling PLEASE JUST GO AWAY. I have enough problems as it is right now.

In any case, i've learned my lesson. No more Craigslist, no more Negri, no more Swappa. I'm just gonna pony up the money and get my phones directly from T-Mobile. The money I thought I was saving doesn't look like such a deal anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Never used them, but I thought they provided protection. Looking at the faq however, http://swappa.com/faq/buy/imei_blacklist_future apparently not. that's pretty weak.

I would think you might have some legal recourse if the seller is in the same state, they are committing fraud. You perhaps may have some even if they are out of state??

As for you options... Not really good choices.

Not a big BBB fan as I think they are skewed towards companies that are "Accredited" (ie paid lots of money), but Swapp doesn't look very good http://www.bbb.org/kansas-city/busi...-services/swappa-in-kansas-city-mo-1000002683

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
pay to get the phone unlocked and try pre-service before deciding to sell internationally. Or go to Play Store and buy regionLock Away, that might unlock the phone or it might not but worth a shot. I would try regionlock away first since that is the cheapest before buying an unlock code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dattack:
Same thing happened to me a year ago. Had to get it unlocked to work on aTt. It's cheaper to get it unlock on a online site and see how it goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
No, we're not in the same state, unfortunately.

Yeah, but the problem is knowing who shares what. I've been searching all over, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on who shares and who doesn't. Some say a blocked T-Mobile phone will work on AT&T, some say definitely not. And many of the GSM MVNOs use T-Mobile networks, so i'm not sure if that would automatically mean it would also be blocked on their networks too. I guess i'll have to try them one by one, which will be more money out of my pocket.

:(

What do you mean when you say 'pre-servicing'? Never heard that term before.

I think I will try region unlock first. There's a thread that I saw today that looked promising, but some had success and some didn't.

So your phone still works on AT&T a year later? That's good news. One of the worst things about this is that I will lose my $30 5GB T-Mobile plan. I was planning on using that plan until I had kids, then putting each of them on the plan too. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dattack:
I bought it from a used S3 on craiglists beginnng of last year. I pleaded to Tmobile that I would pay the remainder of the balance if the guy didn't pay his payments but they said I am crap out of luck. Used it for about 6 months and sold it. They said they share IEMIs but AT&T seems to me they don't care. They just want customers. If I spent $700 on a note, maybe an extra $20 to get it unlocked isn't so bad. Luckily my friend uses ATT for me to test out.

But they might be more aggressive now, considering Tmobile andATT sell same high end phones now like iphone and note 3.

Yes, I just found that thread too. Tomorrow I will find out, but I need to get an AT&T or Straight Talk sim card first. I'll do that first thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Another option?

I really don't want to lose my $30 5GB plan. I've been looking on Amazon and saw that they have some cheap T-Mobile 4G phones like this Nokia Lumia 521: http://goo.gl/KgvOgR

My thought is, I can purchase that, tether my Note 3 to it and keep using it. 90% of what I do on my Note 3 is data/browsing, gaming, etc. So if I can tether to the Lumia, I guess it would work.

Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
Couldn't you try calling T-Mobile and have them un-block it or explain the situation to retentions? I just sold a phone on Swappa and they were pretty strict about a clean IMEI. I would reach out more to them.

People financing T-Mobile phones should NOT be allowed to sell them unless they're entirely paid off. PERIOD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
I've already spoken to T-Mobile. Their position is, it isn't their problem. In their system, I'm not the original owner, so that's that. Until the original owner pays the money, the phone will remain blocked.

As for Swappa, I'm pretty disappointed in them. Their sales pitch is that they check IMEIs, which is great, but that doesn't really mean anything. My situation is proof of that. I thought using PayPal would give me protection, but after 45 days, they won't even let you open a dispute.

I have been communicating with Swappa (and the seller). They act like they are going to help you (for example, they said they considered what the seller did to be 'fraud'), but at the end of the day, they can't actually do anything about it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NMonster69:
Generally they only share data with other carriers when it (the device) is stolen. Blocked usually only applies to the original network. Just go use it on AT&T or equiv.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
PayPal is less protection than using a credit card. Just about any credit card you could report this and they would reverse the charge. PayPal's 45 days is a ridiculously short period of time for disputes.

Swappa would have a hard time getting a reversal reversed due to the fraud involved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
What's the seller saying? I am curious. See this is why I'd always just buy outright directly from the carrier. :/

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, Note 3 seems to be locked down tight now. Oh well, them's the breaks.

This is the messed up part. I did a lot of research before I bought my phone from Swappa. I Googled over and over searching for any mention of phones bought on Swappa being blocked or blacklisted, or buyers being scammed. Nothing came up, so I felt pretty confident about using them.

Yes, I have learned my lesson very thoroughly. Note 4 will be direct from T-Mobile.

When I was talking to the seller before the purchase, I asked if the phone was fully paid. He said it was. In addition, his listing said the phone was only 2 weeks old, so I assumed he was the original owner. After I contacted him about the block, he said that he wasn't the original owner and that T-Mobile told him the phone was not on EIP and was fully paid when he bought it from some guy. He says he doesn't have the money to refund, and can't find the person who sold him the phone. (What a shock!)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ttabbal:
I'm willing to believe 99%+ are totally legit and honest. It really sucks if you get hit by one of the others though. I won't buy cell devices third party because of this sort of thing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeaniturrizaga:
If you want ti stick with tmobile you can try solavei service or simple mobile or straight talk tmobile . You wont have to unlock the phone. Or unlock it and try straight talk att or any other sim card service provider. As far as i know as long as the phone is not reported stolen it should work on tmobile mvno or att mvno.

I'm hoping this is the case. I'll still lose my beloved $30 5GB plan (everyone else I've checked out only gives you 2.5GB for $45), but at least for the short term i'll be able to use my phone again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeaniturrizaga:

If a AT&T Note 3 Is blacklisted will it work for T-Mobile if it gets unlocked??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gummybear00:
This whole "protection" thing from ebay, paypal, swappa is false. All a scammer has to do is wait out the time period and they can still scam as usual.

I wonder what if you used a credit card instead of paypal. If the phone is blocked, credit cards give up to 6 months to do a chargeback.

Until carriers put in the feature to disengage or disown ownership of phones, this scam will continue to persist. Unfortunately, carriers don't care about this because it'll mean an expensive lesson learned and more future sales for their retail stores. Unless they pass a law or something...
