Just want confirmation that the N4 available in the States is the exact same one available here in the UK?
A friend if mine is going to the States soon, he wants to pick up an N4 and I might ask him to get me one as well, since it's cheaper.
Presumably it's got the exact same hardware inside and will run on the UK GSM frequencies? Where can I find out this info for definite?
Also, what's the warranty situation going to be if I import from US - I don't want to have to send it abroad if it goes wrong...

Yep, 1 handset for the WHOLE WORLD! Lol!

Yup, basically (for the time being) doesn't matter where you buy the handset, it will have the same hardware. I don't know about the warranty though, they may check the IMEI to determine market, but it would be a bit stingy if they do

I like idea of NFC, like mobile payments for instance, (which btw im yet to see in the UK) but is it worth buying NFC tags for £10 region?
It seems NFC isnt taking off in UK which is a shame,
I tried carphone warehouse to go buy some as they are on the website but was told they dont sell them.
Anyone in UK know where to get them other then eBay and which are best suited to Galaxy S3?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
there is no need to open a thread for this, really.
There are already many NFC threads, just search.
Even outside S3 forum still within xda.
Problem is i dont understand the differences between them, as i use gs3 thought this be a good place to start.
I did search found some threads but the different sizes models etc isn confusing. Just wanted to be clear on what id need

Mobile fun sells official Samsung ones, here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-tectile-programmable-nfc-tags-p35575.htm
Anyone from Singapore spotted this baby in any of the shops yet?
I know it's yet to be officially released but I remember seeing the galaxy nexus in sim lim and some random neighborhood hp shop at least 3 weeks before actual release date... plan to go scout for this this weekend to try and check out the pricing for buying off the shelves here...
I'm abit skeptical of ordering electronic eqpt online....

I think we'll have to wait till December or next year january. I want the nexus 4 badly but do you know what's the suggested price of it?
I want this piece also. But here in Malaysia i know price will be marked up more than 50%. Which is kinda sh*tty. Sigh. So i plan to get it in the US via playstore and somehow delivered to my mom who is currently visiting there.

Yeah. Oh just out of curiosity how much did it cost for gnex in Singapore when it was first launched?

Don't remember actually but now it's going for about 490 if I got it right...

Yeah. You're the lucky one. Sigh. I don't think so i could get from playstore as planned. Since it has to be bought using a US credit card. Oh well. Just have to check the price here when its launched here. Worse comes to worst at least I'll get at least a one year warranty for that kinda markup price
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
That thing is obviously going to sell for more than the GNex. Might end up going for the Xperia P if the price doesn't drop.

I'm sure it will be very expensive. If Europe is anything to go by , LG will sell it with a RRP of SG$900+ (€599 in EU, even though it's only €299 in the Play store).
I think I'll be getting mine from Aussie Play store when I'm there in December. Might order 2 and sell one if I can profit from it.

Hey guys visit this website http://www.GadgetsINSG.com/#!google-nexus-4/cmht some guy asked me if I want to reserve or not. I can't believe the nexus 4 at 8gb is going to costs S$549 while the galaxy nexus costs S$700+

Will do. Whether I buy an extra one depends on the SG price and if I leave in time to claim the Aussie GST back
Also a friend might want to order one, and I believe you can only order 2 per account.

It looks like Germany is gettig octa core and i want it rather than snapdragon 600. I always had USA version of phone and never tried international version. Although rumors are to be said that Exynos are not going to get much development as snapdragon 600, it is ok because I will not be rooting or flashing rom. So, My question is, what will be the famous german phone sale website that will be selling GS 4 and will ship to USA? (For example in UK, www.clove.co.uk would be a good example)

If I bought one from Germany (octacore) :
1. Would it just be a case of selecting English and using my 3 sim straight off?
2. Is warranty an issue, would I have to send it to Germany should a fault occur?
3. If they ever do bring out an octacore version in the UK at a later date, am I right in thinking you could just flash the UK firmware on the German bought phone?
Thanks

1. Well if you buy sim free unlocked one and your carrier carries the right frequency yeah.
2. I have to research more on warranty but i assume samsung in us will be handle it unless warranty specifically states to be serviced in germany.
3. No idea

Related to #2: Of you buy the phone in Europe, the warranty will be available only in European Union, so in case of problems you will need to send it to Europe.
About #3, if the devices are both OCTA, it shouldn't be a problem.

UK is in Europe (for now at least ) which is why I'm not sure how warranty would work. I wonder if someone in France moved to Germany, would they have to send it back to France if that's where they bought it?

Nop, you can fix it in Germany, as well as Portugal or Romania. If you bought it in EU, you can fix it wherever you are or want. I'm in Spain right now, I will buy it from Germany and if I have problems, I can send it to Samsung Service here in Spain. That's the beauty of European Union.
@jkforce: I don't think it will work. First of all, the whole US will use Snapdragon so Octa will be kinda hard (or needs a lot of time to be fixed because of the component needed and not found locally). Also, an extended warranty works in the same way as a normal one, in this case only in Europe, but covers you of drops or other mechanical damages. You will need to ask Samsung US if they can accept you an extended warranty for an European device in US.

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I am ?
I purchased the F320k model from Negri Electronics who assured me it would work here in England which judging by the frequencies should.
I received the handset today and when I turn it on I get an error message and also no UK sim will work ? The phone detects networks but said to insert a new SIM. I am thinking I must be doing something wrong surely ?
Any help would be great. I have attached some pics of model and the error message.

First, have you try to go to customer service and return SIM card for newer one?

Hmm, well I got mine (F320K) from Negri about a week ago.
Because it takes a micro sim (rather than regular size used in my old SII), I got a replacement from my carrier.
Once I installed that and had it registered, all was good.
The contacts on the new sim did look different from the old one, whether that makes any difference I don't know. Certainly didn't get the message you got - perhaps yours was faulty.
Only prob I've got is getting rid of the Korean bloat...

Lol.... How annoying. Glad I sent it back now as Negri have been rubbish. Sent so many emails asking for help and got nothing. It was only when I threatened them with legal action they replied with "we are looking into this issue" by then it was 4 days too late so have sent it back as not happy to deal with them again plus as you said I may have had a dud.

Agreed. Not very happy with this at all. Locking us out of our own devices that most of us paid FULL PRICE FOR!!!
Yeah me too... This sucks... I'm seriously thinking about selling mine and buying a international model. Does anyone know which model works good on At&t?
I bought 2 note 3's and and 1 gear. Dropped about a G and I can't use my device the way I would like? Not a happy customer at this point.

I went to an AT&T store a few days ago to get a secure element for free (SIM) and received a text survey the next day. I gave the employee a 10 but said I wouldnt recommend at&t to a friend, and everything else I gave low low reviews. They called me several hours later and I let them know why... I am sure it doesnt mean much... but at least they know I think they suck!
The people on the phone tried to help... but didn't really know how to go about getting someone to talk to me about bootloaders... they even recommended me checking out XDA to unlock it... LOL awesome.
I told them that I am perfectly fine with voiding my warranty... so can I please get this flashed to an international version... no idea how to answer something like that... oh well...

Yeah right. I'm sure this thread will be locked. I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I really didn't care as long as I could root.
If flashing and ROMing is that important, get a different phone. The T-Mobile version of the Note 3 is unlocked and will work on AT&T. I prefer AT&T because I get 4G/LTE where I live and in the building where I work.
Very happy with my Note 3 rooted and using Xposed, Wanam, etc. No need for a custom ROM. At least for me anyways.
AT&T has analytics on social media and Web information they collect on what is being said about them. Most large companies do and thought this might get some attention.
