HK Version From Negri

Ok, probably a stupid noob question, but does the HK version boot into Chinese language? If so, how do I change to it english without being familiar with Android 3.2?

Had the same problem and yes it boots the first time in Chinese.
Touch the bottom right hand part of the screen and a screen will pop up. Hit the settings button (looks like cog wheel) and will take you to the settings. The language is the 4th from the bottom and then another screen pops up. The top arrow has the languages to choose from and your there!
Here's a pic of the settings screen and in Chinese.

Does this version have the IR port on it?

It [meaning the HK WIFI & WIFI+3G version] doesn't. Negri Customer Service replied to my question about that yesterday. I think only the Verizon LTE and other LTE models will. Eh, well. I don't have a use for the IR blaster ATM anyway.

I ordered mine in HK with Panamoz.com. On the welcome screen I was able to select English language and then everything was English, nothing Chinese at all (box was sealed).
See my unboxing from Minute 6:30 :

The P6810(wifi only) from Negri is now listed as backorder. They seem to still have the P6800(3g). Glad I got my order in yeterday. They shipped it last night.

why would it be listed as backorder?! is there any flaw in the device?

I assume it is backordered as in out of stock and awaiting new stock.

Yeah, it's probably out of stock. It's been so much in demand. They shipped mine yesterday. I can't wait to get it!

When I went to order mine from Negri last week that day it said it was on backorder, however I checked back later in the day and it was in "Add to Cart"
So for those who want to order , just keep checking the Negri website.
I ordered the P6810 WiFi only and should receive it on Thursday.
Do you guys know if we will have any trouble when the 11.xx mb update is pushed to our HK devices? What do we need to do to make sure we get this update installed on these HK devices?

I just pulled the trigger on the 7.7 (3G version) from Negri.
Note: Negri has two 'Galaxy Tab 7.7 3G P6800' listings.
-The Black/Gray is showing as backorder with a price of $668.50 -link-
-The White is showing as in stock with a price of $649.50 -link-
I was not aware that the 3G version of the 7.7 came in different colors and I don't understand why there would be a $20 difference. If anything I would have expected the white version to cost more.
Oh and I think it was a different thread, but someone posted a code you can enter to get $30 off at Negri. The code is "Gift" (without the quotes) and it worked when I bought my 7.7 today.

It's hard to tell from the pictures on the site but it's possible the "White" version doesn't have a metal back like the "Black/Grey" version. Maybe that's why the price is different

Physical difference between 8gb and 16gb

Hi.
wanted to know if there is any physical difference between the 2 models.
eg, if someone were to sell one new nexus7, how would a know if its a 8gb or 16 gb without switching it on?
is it written anywhere on the device or box?

There is no identification on the device itself without turning it on.
The box has a model number. My 16gb has:
AS NEXUS7 1 B/T30L/16/1G/V
NEXUS7,BROWN,GL,GPS,1G DDR3L, NFC T30L,CB - 802.11bgn(AS) WW+BT2.1.16GB EMMC 1.2M CAMERA, 1CELL4325, N/A, ANDROID WW

thanks dude

Off topic, how brown does yours look?
Play store is sending me a brown one and just am wondering how bad the brown will be <not a fan of the color>
Thanks!

Relax .. No one will know when you lie and say your 8GB model is actually a 16GB model

They aren't really brown. I mean, if thats what Asus wants to call it, sure. But it's black.

HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9002

Hey everyone!
I bought this phone last Christmas on LightInTheBox.
This is all what I can find on my phone (software and hardware):
- HDC Note 3
- Type behind battery: n9002
- Model (what android tells me): U9000
- Runs on android 4.3
- Kernel dates from 3 Decembre 2013
- CPU-type: MT6589 quad core
- ROM: 8Gb
- RAM: 1Gb
- Dual SIM
So I'm having a few troubles I really can't seem to be able to solve:
- When phone is on Edge (E) it constantly locks by itself (goes to lockscreen).
- Can't change the background of the lock screen, there is no function built-in to change this.
- When I go to settings > check for software update it always tells me: there's is no new version but I also get a pop-up screen at the same saying 'failed connecting to the internet' so that clearly doesn't work either.
Can anyone help me solve these problems? Or is there a newer ROM avaiable (link ?) because I can't seem to find one for this specific phone.
Thanks everybody

In case you didn't notice, this is a original Note 3 forum, not a fake note 3 forum.

- Samsung Galaxy Note 3
- Model SM-N9005
- CPU Type Qualcom MSM8974
- Rom 16Gb - 32Gb
- Ram 3Gb
This is the difference between a REAL Galaxy Note 3 and the chinese knockoff.... If you bought it as a Note 3 thinking it was real, I'm sorry to say you were had. Hopefully it was only around $250US as that is what it's worth from a lot of sites.
Unfortunately though as you bought a knockoff you can't use any of the Note 3 firmwares, roms, recoveries or method to update/root or modify it....
The only thing you might be able to do, and it's a long shot, check with the site/shop you bought it from and see if they will give you an update, though I wouldn't hold my breath...

Ah damnit! Didn't notice I posted it in the wrong section .
But yeah, I am well aware of the fact that I have bought a knockoff! 750 € is a ridiculous amount of money for a phone, that's why i decided to buy this one. Thx anyway for the reply..
Greets!

Confirm whether it is 32Gb or 16Gb?

Hi all, I've just bought this Galaxy S5 on a well known auction site.
My problem is it was sold as a 32Gb model but the storage only shows 16Gb (without any additional SD card fitted) .
I did a check with the IMEI number and it shows it should be 32Gb. Is this because of a bad flash when the seller reset everything for selling, or can the IMEI number be wrong? The box it came in also said 16Gb which has added to my suspicions.
All advice and help gratefully received.

On these auction sites you buy a product as is afaik, no refunds or warranty. I guess if both the phone and the box say its a 16GB device it probably is a 16GB device. You could call Samsung to provide clarity or Google if the device`s imei number is reported as stolen.

Well if it says 16 GB.. that's probably what it is. You failed to tell us what S5 model you bought or give us any context e.g. what carrier it originated from or which auction site which seriously impairs our ability to help you. For example AFAIK, none of the US carriers offers a 32 GB version. Look in the settings menu, about device or storage and see if you see something closer to 16 GB or 32 GB?
Probably your best bet is to download the free version of the (Samsung) Phone Info app from the Google Play store. It should tell you how large your ROM is and also do a cursory appraisal of your phone's authenticity.
For a more authoritative confirmation, you could run any number of utilities to check the ROM size e.g. parted, fdisk, gdisk. Note that a lot of utilities require root however.
e.g.
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
253 0 1048576 vnswap0
179 0 15388672 mmcblk0
179 1 15360 mmcblk0p1
179 2 58816 mmcblk0p2
179 3 512 mmcblk0p3
[ ... ]
Note the size of mmcblk0 (your ROM)
~ 15388672 = 16 GB
~ 31268536 = 32 GB
.

Thanks for the replies guys. Like I said I checked the storage info in settings and it showed 16Gb. I heard though that this can happen from a bad flash perhaps when he was returning it to factory standard settings.
The model is a SM-G900F and it's unlocked and currently working fine with the 3 Network here in the UK. I just find it strange when I do the x#06# for the IMEI number it looks like it should have 32Gb. I'll do like you suggested and download that app and see what it says.

The IMEI check is not always correct.
You can see the storage capacity on the back of the phone (the sticker behind the battery).
Or you can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for the internal storage capacity (under MISC INFO section).
You may also want to check if the phone is a refurbish one (open 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app > Menu > Refurbishment Check).

I downloaded that app and it has shown it to be a genuine UK model 16Gb model. Ok, it's not what I was after but I got a good discount off it as compensation and as it seems ok in all other reapects I'll just keep it.
Cheers for all your help guys

Fake or Real Note 4 (HK or CN version N9100)

I am in Guangzhou and wanted to purchase N9100 HK version . I read the thread here . While asking for a mobile phone market someone referred me to second hand stuff da sha tou market which is filled with knock offs. It took me quite a while to identify a fake . The recovery and knox were copied and imei.info suggested it to be n9100.I saw such a good knock off that may be now i have the original one and i cannot believe it,
The very next day i went to a different market in guading . I purchase note 4 n9100 hk version but there are many inconsistencies in the box and back panel from the pics already present on xda
1.Made in Vietnam is not printed on the box.
2.Made in XYZ country is nowhere mentioned on the phone and battery . The sticker at the back of the phone just mentions made by samsung.
3.The speaker grill is steel color , pics in the above thread have black speaker grill.
4.There is no IMEI stickers on the box but the imei matches everywhere
Antutu gave around 44113 ,specs matched and thats the reason i purchased it however i cannot clear some points in my head. Screen is amoled white sucks while black is awesome.I am not impressed with the screen , the whites have yellowish tint . My tab pro has much much better screen than note 4
SECOND ROUND OF CONFUSION HK OR CHINA VERSION
I was considering the baseband version as SM-N9100ZWUTGY of Hong Kong version as printed on the box imei sticker and URL but it turned out to be different . http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/mobile/smartphones/smartphones/[B]SM-N9100ZWUTGY[/B]#none
N9100ZHU1ANK2 is the baseband version
q1. Did the seller flash the china version with hk rom and replaced the box ? Is there any to check via serial number from samsung ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/n9100-dual-flash-try-n9100-hongkong-t2956342 . I wasn't aware of this method until i purchased this devices otherwise i would have purchased a china version and paid lesser . I was under the impression that flashing GAPPS isnt imperfect and there are some sync issues.
q2 . Is there any way to check if the samsung battery is genuine ? Nokia provided web verification
Please clear the points mentioned , i cannot get this out from my head. I paid so much for a phone whose warranty i cannot use .
q3. Is there any way i can identify that its a HK version and not a china version ? The box has url printed as samsung.com.hk but inside the box the manual has the url printed samsung.com/cn .There is a spelling mistake too in the manual "Samsung Elcetron cs:
Can someone readout the chinese , is it mandarin or cantonese? Battery and Charger
POSTING PICS
UPDATES
Manufacturing country is printed on the battery but not on the phone . Its 100% original samsung HK version , got it checked from the service center.

Dead giveaway that its a fake note4...

I just checked it with cpu-z everything matches with the original one , it recognizes a 64gb card

I just returned back from market and posted this . I guess the knockoff can't connect to kies . I also got a update notification on phone. The phone is working good on china unicom 4g .
I am watching some youtube videos and the device seems to be ok but there is NO Note 4 written on the back , the promotional pics on samsung website also doesnt have note 4 written but production model has note 4 written.
Heart rate sensor app is missing but the sensor seems to be working *#0*# check
My head is spinning right now even after few hours of use its still not clear may be someone owning the n9100 hk version can clear it up .
The stylus is of good quality with the textures and steel frame is machined (dont know what its called but like the one on htc phones.

Man try phone info samsung on play store and has a thread on xda it will help you

Original or Fake SM-N9100 ?
Hi All, i bought N9100 dual sim international version from china... I checked in IMEI.info site... there its listed and having warranty. But below are the discrepancy,
1) Its an play store installed version but Samsung Voice Recorder app, KNOX app is not available.
2) Samsung S note is working offline, but not logging into samsung cn account even.
3) Kites 2.6 and 3 is not at all recognizing the device ( does it not recognize in kitkat version? ).
phone details from about phone.
SM-9100 running stock kitkat 4.4.4, baseband version N9100ZCU1AOB1
security s/w version MDF v1.1 release 5, VPN v1.4 release 2
Knox 2.2 stated to be available. I checked phone info samsung app and the Knox warranty void 0x1, but the color mentioned in the app is wrong as white, but mine is black
Can anyone suggest resolutions for the above to confirm originality and stock samsung apps availability, any would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajitanto

Both the phone and battery look original to me. However i am not sure if its chinese or hk version. The amoled screen's yellowish white is normal i have it on all my note 4s and the knock offs "never" have amoled screen.

Do you still have that phone?
