Hi.
I bought a Samsung Focus on eBay.
I received a phone with a cracked screen and it says "Not for Sale 1119" on the lower end and in the battery cover.
I can't open a claim on eBay because I live overseas and I received it in over 45 days so I don't have more time.
The phone it's not recognized by my PC when I connected with the USB but it seems to turn on and it makes lock and unlock sounds.
I disassembled it to check if it had every part on it; and it does... it's a full Samsung Focus but it's unbranded...
Now, my questions is... how can I be sure it is not a DEMO Phone or a full phone with a DEMO operating system? Please keep in mind the screen is cracked; digitizer works thou.
I ask this because Focus digitizer/lcd assembly it's quite expensive; and I don't want to spend USD150 for a dummy...

Whoa looks like a prototype unit (very cool dude!). The LED flash placement is shifted to the left. My focus flash is straight under the camera.
If it has a rev.1.3 hardware, even if it's a demo unit, i guess you should be able to flash it with 7004 at&t / rogers rom (assuming you can go into download mode).
If only it's in mint and working condition, it would be awesome. (iPhone 4 prototype unit are priced very high in ebay)

It should be on the sticker where the battery location is. However, I don't see it.
On mine it says Made in Korea, yours is in China. Definitely interesting

It's definitely written "Made in Korea" there .... (-_-; )
* if you get the screen worked, make sure to check everything on it and post screenshot of the system information

Ok, will report results ass soon as I get my hands on the new LCD.
Best Regards.
why not a new AMOLED screen instead of LCD? and where are you OP? This thread interested me
Very interesting that there's not any warnings around the MicroSD card either.
Never got the LCD replacement... it's for sale on eBay if you are interested...

Posted this in the General forum, but thought you guys may be interested as well.
Just noticed this over at Coolsmartphone.com
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-Mega-Pixel-...38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=em300090753602
Appears to be a PDA with a 5MP Camera!!!
Beware though, says it has WM5 on it, however a closer look at the silver model reveals WM2003 and black has WM5.
Not a chance that i'll bid on that.
Any thoughts??
S.K.
It it is even remotely real then it is probably from Japan or Korea or something like that.
Otherwise I would say that it is just a scam. After all, a phone branded as "Pocket PC?" Come on...
Yeah, appearently Chinese OEM manufacturer.....
That PDA is one ugly mothe..........
Thats looks like some Photoshopped SE P910/Samsung love child!
That is a concept from some chinesse ODM from a long time ago circa 2004. I dont think it ever came to market but I remember seeing concept pics of it.
That is definately a Samsung "OK" button.
Googled for it and found something here.
It looks like cheap plastic.

Are you trying to say that your phone does not have a menstrual count?
Why not??
That my dear fellows is roughly (and if possible) a working Matrix Reloaded Samsung something something something,,,, look for it in the second film,,, they asked Samsung to make a highteck phone that they could market with the film,,, since it fell through the only ones ever made were live dummys used in the movie... (if ya look arounf on fleabay hard enough you can spot them,, dummys in a collectors tin ^_^) from the looks of it someone found out the designs and started tinkering to make a real phone
I dont think it is real though lol

Unfortunately I would totally agree on that. Was thinking that it could be a potential replacement of my Fuze, not so much now... How did they manage to make a pretty decent looking phone ugly how...
i suppose i won't pass judgement until i see it in person...but eh i can't get a new phone yet anways so ....moot point
we just added a few new photos and more details...like no 3.5 jack, talk time worse than the Fuze and a possible launch date before super Tuesday

Isn't the next "super Tuesday" in something like February 2012? When exactly are you referring to?

The super Tuesday being refered to is next Tuesday because that is the day Microsoft said it was releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 along with several carriers announcing availability of WM 6.5 phones. It is the official launch date for WM 6.5 basically.
if you walk into a store today you can buy one - 100%. Just ask nice and act innocent.
you should be able to get it today in NY at least. I played with the floor model for a bit. its not as ugly in person. its not ugly at all in person. it does look horrible on the box art though.
Apart from the AT&T branding, this is identical to the t-mobile Compact V..... the case, the silver inlay on the back, earpiece, ..... all the same.
Only thing I can't see is if it has the mini-usb cover on the bottom but I guess it has.
John
Yes, it's the same as T-Mobile MDA Compact V except logos on front cover.
Ok I have to ask, why do these carriers change the phones? I'm not just talking about the TD2. I prefer the original versions, not to mention the carrier branding, ugh.
Maybe
Perhaps its ugly, perhaps its got no headphone jack... Regardless, I'm probably buying one of these later today or sometime this week for analysis/experimentation It will be nice to have a phone smaller than my fuze tho... it is kind of thick (And yes, I'm aware its thinner because of the lack of keyboard). Ill post back here when i get it, and post whether or not its as bad as everyone thinks.
Chris
hey everyone i was checking out the Galaxy S website (sorry, im not able to post the link) and i noticed at the end of the segment they are advertising a home cradle that seem like a audio dock for a mp3 player/ipod. does anyone have any info on this? is it something extra we have to buy or could this be the charger? they also said something about a in car mount for the phone to be used as a cradle for gps use.

Here you are......Im loving this ..cant wait to get my hands on this...
Its extra, has to be purchased separately.
this one looks nice .... gonna get me one of these when i own the phone
well if it is sold separate, i hope is isn't too much if i'm dropping alot on the phone. does anyone know anything about the gps mount for the phone? i'm guessing that's separate too. i really can't wait for this thing to come out. i hope t-mo news is right, july 21st can't come soon enough.
Love the idea of the cradle, turning the phone into a clock.
I already use my Samsung i900 as my alarm clock, this wil only make it even better
Free from singtel

Singtel Singapore is giving this free in last PC fair in Suntec.
I wonder why they've gone for the overhang design. Maybe its cost, but cant help thinking a full width version might have looked better.
Probably gonna be hard to remove it if it's full width.
Yeah, possibly, so long as its not a rip-off will prolly still get one.
woooooooow

Not true. Singtel gave out an el cheapo plastic stand that had zero functionality less holding up ur phone.
It's not sold in Singapore yet too.
I think this needs a Bump this is cool ​
That is one ugly stand.

Definately fugly. C'mon Samsung you can do better than this.
In a few clips Ive seen a bedside clock being shown, but I can't find a clock app on the phone to show a bedside clock ???? Weird.
Anyone got any info on that side ?
Be nice if the dock still worked even for the slight redesigned Captivate, but probably not. AT&T would probably make their own you have to buy.
Google these to find the oem car and desk mounts:
Desk mount: ECR-P968BEGSTD
Car mount: ECS-V968BEGSTD

Probably because it has to fit all of the different Galaxy S versions. Just a guess

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance
that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?
two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

I have a T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Note 3. I dropped it slightly and the whole thing shattered, LED screen cracked as well. I am looking to purchase a replacement and I see original ones on eBay but they were taken off of the CDMA versions of the phone (either Verizon or Sprint). If I were to purchase one, would it work on mine?

I'm able to do it myself. I just wanted to know before I purchased one.
If they are as generic as stated, then yeah no reason you couldn't do it yourself. - It isn't an easy feat from what I have seen though. - Best thing to do would be email Samsung or a phone shop and ask if the screens are indeed compatible for all models just to be safe.
I'm not able to find a original samsung screen replacement for the Note 3. Anyone know of a legit shop or site that sells them?
Never purchased one myself, but just did a quick search on google.. this place looks okay, dont take my word for it though, i did not research the seller. They are advertised as OEM parts though.
