evening all,
so a little bit about my query/truth
so i am a phone shop manager and i own the s3 (ovb)
now i was speaking to a member of staff from cpw and he informed that Samsung are now offering to take in your s3 and replace the board with the new 4g(lte chip and other part maybe the ram.... now im not sure if there is any truth on this or a cost involved but i also spoke to our Samsung rep yesterday and he also said yes some staff have sent there s3 as a mystery recall to be upgraded......
any views or opinions on this or any other news you have heard the same,
cheers.
I haven't heard any such thing, and it sounds too good to be e true to be honest.
I really don't see why Samsung should be offering a free upgrade to an already mass selling phone, but I do look forward to hearing more about this

I think it's time to get on the phone, very interesting indeed, thanks for the info :thumbup:
Hmm I would like to know if anyone else has heard this, I am going to send Samsung an email to see what they say, unfortunately I will not be anywhere near a phone shop until Wednesday to ask instores about it.
I hope it's true and not just rumor but knowing our luck it will be
Sounds too good to be true. Its like buying an S-class, and when the facelift.comes : Give us yours, we'll give you the new one. I hope its true.though would be great.
i love my girlfriend <3
I was told that by a Tmobile shop manager that S3 models would get a firmware update to enable LTE 4G on Tmobile EE network and they were looking into how to solve this hardware and nano sim card issue , but i was ridiculed in another thread by some of the people in this thread when i started my own thread in the subject

They don't have to but if they can if they want, now let's put it this way, if they are going to do this, will you buy another Samsung flagship phone again? I know I would.
Sent them an email, but I'm not sure if their customer support will work weekends to get a reply before Monday.
Very hard to actually determine the truth behind the OP or the samsung rep that's saying that - but if that's the case....well samsung will get a lot of good +1's from people.
That said - I bet there will be also people who will flame samsung for recalling it...
I think this is bull**** and will never happen. and if it indeed did, it was for a small customer lot.
and as for the firmware upgrade to enable LTE. bull**** again will never happen the hardware is physically impossible to do as its not there to begin with.

Why? A quick mainboard replacement should sort it, the chassis is the same as far as I know so seems feasible, but can't see it being totally free tbh
They way i see it is samsung and apple are having a bit of a battle and one way the iphone beats the i9300 is with 4g. So if samsung gave a free upgrade to the mass amount of i9300 owners not only would it be a good image for the company but would be a 1 up against apple.
I think it would be a very wise decision for samsung to do this

maybe just to accommodate larger battery, so might be just a quick backcover upgrade

I would do it
we all know that the screen and digitizer and gorrila glass 2 are all combined into one, and costs about $200+ to get a replacment for it.
i cant see why samsung could not sell the motherboard only and people could fit it them selfs
thats if this doesnt amount to anything replacing the board yourself could be feesable and its very easy to replace the mainboard only, unless the camera or something else requires a different version that is to the board your using or not compatible ect.
i would actually consider buying the main board only if it was compatible.
EDIT: actually thinking about it i cant see this happening either as wouldnt replacing the motherboard screw up your IMEI number ? and make it different ect ?

I would upgrade at that price I reckon
these multi dollar companies are all the same.
Their will never do it for free unless it was a ( possible) legal requirement. It's possible there could be another recently recognised glitch on the mainboard and under the disguise of an lte upgrade their replacing them.
There was already one previous recall of some batches according to vodafone before they were distributed to customers.
I'm not going to bother whether you'd still buy one or not...I think i know the answer :laugh:
I had been leaning HEAVILY toward an ipad mini as my first tablet.
Talk me out of it
I'd prefer to stay with android so I can root and have all my apps and the things I know and love.
However, I just haven't found a form factor that i like. The 16:10 is just too skinny on the 7" IMHO.
Then i found out about this 7.7 and I'd love to have one.
I actually only need the wifi version but that looks harder to come by??
I'm on ATT. On the GSM version, can I just take my sim out and use it for data in the tablet?
Besides those questions, how would you pay for your tablet if you had to purchase it today?
I'd pay the $350 a ipad mini would cost me.
However, the ones I see are $450+

I'm browsing these forums because I'm eying the refurbished Galaxy Tab 7.7 Verizon 4G on eBay for $250... so I'm guessing you can get it for well under $450. Considering returning my Nexus 7 for it...
I saw some wifi only for buy it now or best offer on ebay. Not sure I want to go that route from Taiwan. I wonder how much vzw would charge outright without month to month. I bet if they would have kept the price down this thing would have been hard to keep in stock...

The pictures is this ebay ad show the 6800...
you see the green telephone icon in the lower left??
The 6810 doesnt have that..
"IF" you get the 6800.. then YES, you can move your ATT sim card there and BAM! An exact duplicate of your smart phone and it's features...
including phone calls, receiving phone, send and receive TXT messages and mms.. everything your existing smart phone does.. same phone number..
it all followes your sim card.
I do it and many others on here do it too..
BUT, you cant do it with the 6810 or Verizons version..
they dont have sim card slots... good luck
6810 is wifi.
6800 is wifi+3g
Sch-i815 is VERIZON wifi+LTE
As stated earlier, you can have wifi AND full phone functionality with the 6800 with your at&t sim.
Don't get the i815 unless you have service with Verizon or unless you plan to use it for wifi only. You can only get data service (phone functionality is disabled) with the Verizon i815 if you have a Verizon account on the stock rom only.
If you want to use cyanogenmod or aosp roms please note that our tab shares most of its internal hardware with the international galaxy s2 and international galaxy note, which means full jelly bean butter is not functional until Samsung releases the right source.

I paid $400 for mine... New from Verizon a few months ago and I still think it's worth it. The iPad mini isn't really a consideration for me, even for $50 less.
But I think the 7.7 is pretty close to perfection.
I had p6800 from end of January. Then at the beginning of December, I broke the screen and needed to decide what replacement devicebto take. I liked Ipad Mini for form factor and casing. But ultimatelly the iOS and poor specifications put me off. Nexus 7 3G is nice but the screen is too small. Anything that is 8.9 inch or larger is too large for me. So I bought another p6800. It is significantly better than the original as it does not suffer from yellowish discoloration of the screen which the original had. I think there is still no competition for p6800 out there (if you don't care for high computing / video generating power but you need smallndevice with good /though somehow dark/ screen and battery life).

On the verizon website it doesn't have an off contract price. Do you buy month to month and cancel? There are activation fees and first month charges.
Thanks for the feed back folks.

If I go with just wifi does it matter what model I go with? I'll be rooting and checking out the roms available bit probably stick with cm. I use mostly 3rd party apps. I'll load nova launcher, boat browser Swift key and enhanced email for sure.

Well, I decided to bite for $250. Versus the Nexus 7 that I have for $200, the extra $50 is worth it to me for the screen alone. I'm not going to be using data so I don't care about Verizon vs. AT&T etc. concerns.
Ahhh. You are tempting me! I'll sleep on it.... 250 really isn't a bad price. I'll probably do it lol!

I have had my P6810 for 11 months now and there is still nothing out there that comes close IMO. Thin, light, brilliant screen, expandable storage.
Those guys were quick. It's already been shipped. I'll have to wait til tomorrow I guess to see when it will actually arrive.
Looking forward to it

This tablet is beautiful man. I just acquired a nexus 10 and I'm having a a hard time deciding on changing my setup from galaxy nexus/gtab 7.7 to gnote 2/nexus 10. The nexus 10 flies like you wouldnt believe man, but the non-portable size and non amoled screen are keeping me from leaving this tab

Thanks. I'm content with my purchase and can't wait to get it, root and have some fun. No buyers remorse....
I do love my galaxy not phone. Don't think I'll be changing it any time soon.
I thought pretty hard on getting the nexus 10 but I know it would be too big for my first tab. With a 5.3" phone it would be hard to 'just' go to the nexus 7 but i did like how it felt in hand. I almost went I pad mini to broaden my tech consumption with ios but at the end of the day I know I'd want to customize it too much

Ok, first off. Let me state that I paid FULL price for my galaxy s4 when I originally purchased it. After about a day, the screen went out on me, large areas of the super amoled where completely blacked while, while some areas still displayed picture. This was annoying, but things happen in the early stages of device manufacturing, although I have never experienced this with a Samsung device. When I returned to the sprint store that i purchased the phone from the sales rep was pretty cool about it, and agreed to replace it. The second replacement had scuffing all over the body, a ding here, a dent there, not to mention the phone crashed every hour. At this point I'm starting to get pretty irritated, irritated enough to leave Samsung this time around. The guy mentioned that not many are experiencing this problem, and maybe I should give the HTC ONE a shot. (Which is code for you may have un-diagnosed OCD, so let me just give you a different device.) As soon as I took the HTC ONE home I was completely shocked. Never in my life have I seen such poor quality control standards for a flagship device. There was paint runoff, gaps between panels (when HTC advertises no gap build quality), and speaker malfunctioning. Now, this is my THIRD device. I WANTED the Samsung Galaxy s4, and in some way still do, but decided to go a different route simply so I could have a working cell phone. I paid 600 dollars for a top end device, and am yet to receive that. How should I go about this? Do I go back to the same sprint store, while looking mentally insane requesting a fourth return, or attempt a different sprint location who may actually have working devices? All I want a is damn galaxy s4 or HTC one in prestine, brand new condition that WORKS. Is this not obtainable anymore, even at a price of 600.00? Claiming warranty on a device with scuffing and alignment issues is not going to happen, period. They will claim I caused the damage, even though the entire phone is in prestine condition with zero evidence of dropping or abuse. I refuse to accept a response like that from sprint. Am I crazy for wanting a perfect phone?
Any advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I love Samsung, their quality control is hands down superior to virtually any other company. However, I need a working smartphone, and at a price of 600.00 + activation fee + gas for exchanges every day + infecting me with OCD .... something needs to give here, and soon.

You are perfectly in your right mind to want to get your full monies worth. Take it back. And if they don't believe you, ask for a manager. Explain how they keep giving you defective devices. If you get a replacement. Open it and check it out at the store in front of them. If you don't, try another store. Do the same process. Otherwise you might be better off stopping service than going to a different store. This is why I like getting phones through best buy. Geek squad understands this kind of crap.

I've had 4 s4's. I bought it brand new, got it replaced because overheating problems, then the other 2 had screen tint issues. There was half of the screen that looked green. I kept going to the store and thanksfully my last replacement haven't give me a problem. My advice is to keep going to the store and get it replaced or get your money back.
As long as you are within 14 days go for it.
Make sure and open up your device before leaving with it.
These devices arrive sealed from the manufacturer so it isn't Sprint causing your woes here it is the manufacturer.
Once you are beyond 14 days you will have to deal with the manufacturer or use total equipment protection if you have it so get it taken care of soon.

First off you should have gotten a new SGS4 phone replacement not 1 that was scuffed up.I regards to the HTC 1 I have heard lots of horror stories about QC issues on their devices. Go to another sprint store(corporate owned if possible)and try your luck there.
After my 6th s4 had lines going through the screen and burnt pixels..... I really lost my cool. I demanded my money back so I could purchase the s4 elsewhere. Got my refund... went to best buy, and what do you know, an s4 that WORKS. The sprint store I was dealing with was pretty cool with all the exchanges, and were jusy mind blown by my bad luck with this s4. I called samsung and asked them how they plan to release different s4 builds if they still cant get their QC under control with the original s4.
I can't say Samsung really screwed up this round, considering I could have been dealing with a bad shipment, but after reading various posts, its pretty clear samsung has some MAJOR flaws that need to be worked out in their manufacturing department.
P.s.
ALL the phones I had, including this one, has purple smearing. Pretty sure virtually all s4's have it.

I'm not sure I understand all this talk about purple smearing. I got my phone off Amazon, and I've had zero issues. I've never seen anything that I would remotely describe as "purple smearing." Maybe a tiny, almost undescernable about of ghosting if I'm looking at black text on a white background and I scroll really fast, but nothing worse than any other device I've owned (better in most cases, actually).

Turn your brightness on auto or down, go into your settings and scroll. You will see purple smearing and text ghosting. Its a firmware issue and im willing to bet all s4's have it.

Me either. I work for Sprint and sell four to ten s4's in a day. Haven't had one return except for the usual suspects who claim the phone got so hot it melted their face off and it never gets that hot when we check. Of course, these are usually the folk with candy crush and multiple crap free games running in the back ground. Everybody in my family had s4's with 0 defect. 5 to be exact

Amoled screens are not supposed to smear purple and ghost at low brightness. I have personally handled over ten galaxy s4's and every single one had this issue. You are either not catching it or extremely lucky. Either way it's not that big of a deal, doesn't bother me really, just annoying knowing its there.
Can you post video of the smearing? Because since reading this post, I can't duplicate it any device I've sold from the store, our demo devices or our family devices.

Open the app drawer and swipe through the apps slowly, back and forth....I verified it on every S4 in our store and mine yesterday...I owned the phone for weeks and never noticed.
Some others have mentioned an issue that has been present on all AMOLED...that issue is different and is "crush" where black/gray are not rendered correctly. I too made the assumption this is what everyone was refering too.
Also mentioned it is supposedly in the kernel and will be fixed in an update.

Uh, that's written into the framework. The opaque setting of an icon is meant to change as it transitions on and off the screen. That is not a defect or smearing. Would love to see video of it's so easy to duplicate.

There's some on ebay, but you need to make sure you get the right one(model D801? D802? VS980?):

None of them list VS980, so if it's a Verizon phone you may be out of luck on ebay.
ETA: Seeing that you posted from a Verizon Note II, I'm thinking you're out of luck unless you go through Verizon. If you paid full price for the phone with a good credit card, you can get a full refund and buy another one. Amex and Discover will take care of you. If you bought it subsidized, they'll only give you back $199 or whatever you paid for it, and I think they'll want the phone sent to them as well. Good luck.
Thank you for the information. I bought it through Verizon. I guess I'll have to wait until a replacement comes out for their model. Thanks again for the information, have a blessed day

It very well could be the same screen for all models(except for the Verizon logo), and the resellers just don't know it. Or, the ribbon cables could be completely different. You'll probably have to wait awhile until VS980 screens are available, or someone does tear downs of all variants to find out which, if any parts, are interchangeable.
similar problem here with a Verizon LG G2. These new phones are too sexy for cases, but I've learned my lesson. Nice idea with a credit card refund, but I bought it subsidized unfortunately.
Looks like my LCD is ok underneath the screen, but I still don't see any stand alone panels/digitizers for a VS980 -- only for a D801 (AT&T). Several on ebay, as you have noted.
OP: if your LCD is broken as well there's a D801+VS980 LCD/digitizer combo available at gounlock .com. Is the fact that this vendor lists both the D801 and VS980 together evidence that a D801 digitizer would be compatible with my current VS980 LCD?
Thanks!
The title says it all, would you trade your Note 3 for this?

would if the note 4 wasnt on the way.
No more than I already know about it, I most certainly would choose it over my note. It can be customized and who the heck wouldn't want cyanogen!?
OFC not!
It doesn't have a uSD slot.
I would get it even though it's missing an sd card slot, too bad it has an invite system to purchase the phone. Here's a quote from the Android Authority article:
"The big caveat here is that the OnePlus One will be offered through an invite system. This means that each buyer will receive a number of invites that they can send over to friends, while more invites will be made available through contests and giveaways. Considering the low price of the device, we fully expect high demand for it, so you may have to be patient for a time."
I'm planning to buy it if I can get invite. It's a beast for how much it cost. Won't be a replacement for my note but great to have and use as back up.

YES!
done with samsung and at&t..being a user for subsidizing at&t's development of a secure device so that it can then be cheaply distributed as an
enterprise device for businesses..after raising confidence ..seen nobody can defeat our secure system except our partners the NSA
Negative. I desire the expansion of storage since I have a lot of music and use my phone's as an MP3 player as well. Plus, I was planning on getting the Note 4 but with the way all of this bootloader garbage is going, that might change. I'm so close to ditching all of this locked-up B.S. It's very old.
Thinking about it... Hoping to be one of the lucky 100!

I've been having nothing but problems with my Note 3... Since day 1 it would make my caller's voice echo when not on speaker phone. Got that fixed and now I'm running into more issues. I've had my replacement for a little less than 2 weeks now and my data just randomly drops. Shows no signal but still can make calls. After the 4.2.2 update my screen was unresponsive. I had to pull the battery. And the list goes on and on.
If it wasn't an invite system I'd sell this Note in a heartbeat and buy the OnePlus One. It's sad because I loved my Note 2 and had zero issues with it. This one just seems to be nothing but problems.... Maybe because I've always had a black phone, this is my first white one. They say once you go black you never go back
The average person won't be able to buy the phone for about two months.
Also, keep in mind some other things.
1) No HDMI output capability
2) No MicroSD card
3) No removable battery
4) No APT-X Bluetooth Codec
5) LCD panel won't be able to get as dim as Note 3
6) New company, new design, new/rushed production
7) Taller phone with .2" smaller screen
8) No IR remote capability
With that said, the factory supported CyanogenMOD & unlocked bootloader is to me, a HUGE deal.
And the 64GB version (at $349) negates my need for MicroSD.
The only thing I'd really, really miss after that would be the removable battery.
If the phone were available today, I'd have already bought one.
Whether it would replace my Note 3 is a big question mark.
Let's all hope this phone takes off like crazy. If it does, then maybe Samsung & AT&T will rethink their locked bootloader thing. Or at least, offer a developers edition that you don't have to pay full retail up-front for, like you do with the VZW phones.
wonder how they are getting away with using that slogan
I'm definitely buying it
