Not sure if anyone has experience this before. I bought a brand new unit from Negri Electronics. I put my current Sim, from old Galaxy Tab 7, in the new 7.7 and it doesn't recognized it. Later i tried to put my friend's T-mobile Sim and same result. Maybe I am the lucky one, getting a lemon???
I've already start the RMA process, hopefully they can send me a working unit soon.
Has anyone dealing with Negri Electronics before? How do they usually handle this kind of situation? do they send out refurblished unit or brand new?
Thanks

Have you tried referring back to your operator and replacing your sim with a new one.
This was my case and a new sim solved the problem.
Try rebooting after inserting the sim.

Yes, tried new sim for carrier but no luck.
Turn out it was a defected unit. Got the replacement today and everything is working fine
Hi
I live in Malta (Europe), and need a good dual sim active phone.
The only option there seems to be is buying the samsung galaxy s4 dual sim from this seller etotalk.
I would like to query whether anyone has bought this phone from this seller and their experience.
Thanks
Ken

HI thanks for the info
Yet you use it in europe - and did you buy it with a custom rom pre-installed?
Ken
Got one from Etotalk.com; very happy with it and all is genuine!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Me too. Had it rooted and have their custom rom installed. Have some minor issues with the rom but nothing serious.

A week or so ago I also bought a GT-I9502 from etotalk and got a very good impression of them considering the natural obstacles of sending stuff from China, customs, paying with Paypal etc. Got the phone just after a few days, sent by DHL.
You can ask them to send it as a "gift", declaring a lower than actual value of your choice, which might make things slip through customs easier/cheaper/less VAT slapped on.
Bought it in stock version and rooted/ROMed it myself, using this procedure and with SVA's excellent ROM that you buy for a few $.
In certain (most?) countries the GT-I9502 doesn't show CallerID properly as the phone's software platform is made for China, but I've done a patch for that, see this post.
I cant post links yet, but on ebay if you type N9005 64GB there is only one guy selling this.
Does this seem legit? You have to buy 2 for $1400, anyone want to go halves with me?
Is this going to have that UK sim restricted sticker on it? Will I be able to use the LTE on this phone on the Rogers network in Canada?
Any experts out there that can help me out with all of these things Im clueless on? Im used to just buying an unlocked phone and having it work off the bat. Never bought something from another country like this before.

I exchanged several emails with that guy and he doesnt wont to do PayPal - bank to bank only transfer. Sounds like a scam to me, and if you zoom in on the pictures of the boxes he posts - the white sticker says "32GB". I've already explained to you in another thread UK phones wont work on Rogers' LTE, unless you flash Rogers' modem to it.
Last year I saw where some purchased a '64GB' phone and it was actually a 32gb phone with a 32gb SD card... That was scandalous..
Hi there,
I am interested in buying Galaxy S7 Edge. I live in Canada, so i am not interested in buying the canadian variant. My experience with my current Galaxy S4 was horrible. No updates or anything.
If anyone knows website that can ship the Galaxy S7 Edge phone, legit website, please let me know.
I found one called clove . They have it and have the lowest price. But when I went to pre-order, it says there is a samsung region lock on. So If i give them permission, they will open the seal , insert european sim card and make a 5 minute call to region unlock it. Does the Galaxy S7 Edge have this region lock or no? Can someone please confirm?
I prefer to receive my phone factory sealed.
Thank you!

International variant? Do some research first. The exynos chip S7 will be sold all around the world except for USA and China that will have snapdragon. Canadian variant is exynos and if all your interested is in updates, that's pretty silly.

I did my research. Yes, I am aware of that . How is it silly? Explain yourself.
You thinking an international variant will get "updates" quicker than other variants. Why are updates so important? I pre-ordered a bell s7 edge. Canadian variants have warranty. Why would you risk getting an international phone with no warranty?

Canada will receive the Exynos variant which is the same as the European variant, though I'm not sure if it will be available unlocked in Canada. Wether you order from Clove or Unlocked Mobiles your phone will have to go through that process in order for it work in Canada or somewhere else. The only thing you could do to avoid having an opened phone is going to Europe and insert the SIM card and make the 5 minute phone call yourself, or maybe have a European relative do it for you. But if you skip this the phone won't accept your Canadian SIM.

So, it is safe to let Clove open it for the region lock? I saw same model as Clove on ebay, but a reputable seller, but he sells factory sealed phone. It doesn't require region unlock!
Thank you for the help! Appreciate it !
Yeah, i know Canada is getting one. But I want the updates which international variant gets. Canadian will become obsolete thanks to our lame carriers. I'm never buying any Canadian variant phone.

I have never purchased from them but I read good reviews, I'm ordering it from UnlockedMobiles. They do not state for a fact that they do the same thing as Clove but I sent them an email and they said they do it by default for shipping addresses in the US, they do exactly the same as Clove which is insert UK sim then make a 5 minute phone call. I saw some phones on ebay like that one you're telling me and besides that they're way overpriced ($100 more expensive) I honestly don't get how they can get it to work without opening the phone and doing that unless they somehow got the Global american version? dunno if that even exists. Still if you want to spend over $800 on the phone might as well wait until March 11th for B&H to make the phone available http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1225381-REG/samsung_sm_g935_32gb_slv_galaxy_s7_edge_g935.html bear in mind they will offer the Global/International variant but I don't know if it's american or something but B&H is based off NY.
So these phones, are they G930F/G935F or something else.

Well if you look up a phone that is already available like the S6 Edge you can find lots of unlocked variants like:
S6 edge+ SM-G928G
S6 edge+ SM-G928C
S6 Edge SM-G925F
S6 Edge SM-G925I
Apparently some are unlocked and some others are Region specific.
Try Odin
ust a quick suggestion. You can use Odin to flash an official firmware of another region as long as it's the same hardware. This doesn't trip Knox or count as root as you're using official Samsung firmware. That way, you could buy a Canadian phone, then flash there international firmware. If there's a problem flash back the Canadian firmware and retain your warranty. Try it with your s4
I got my hands on a Sm-G935F at chrismas time, I was hoping this would be a great layover until the new s8 comes out. It's unlocked and I'm using it on Bell but reception is horrible. The S7 i had before that I handed down to my wife had way better reception. There is no Canadian firmware for the SM-G935F that I can find. Any suggestions to help make it better.
So I bought the phone off eBay for my sisters birthday . We got the phone today and we tired to put her sim in the phone but couldn't cause she had a micro SIM card and the note took a regular sized one. She went to her phone carrier store (MetroPCS) to get a SIM card and they told her it was locked. I don't really know all the details because I was at work at the tell and I'm just telling what I was told.
I bought the phone from here -> http://m.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galax...676960?varId=590905166198&txnId=1368967471019
The model of the Note you purchased is a sprint phone perhaps and the link you posted is for a note 5 not a note 4.
But I thought it was unlocked to work with any carrier
I checked your link it shows about note 4 16gb version. But i didn't hear about note 4 16gb model. And also note 4 has micro sim not regular one.
So what should I do?
Try to contact dealers and tell them or give it to local phone repair shop to unlock.
